CHICAGO, Aug. 21. A 14 year old girl who got on the
"Streamliner" at Portland alone for her first trip on a train
hag been ill in her berth ever since the first night. She col
lapsed in the dining car and had to be carried out by the
steward, both conductors assisting him, and the porter of her
car made a fourth. A search of the train was made for a
doctor but none found. Finally a middle-aged woman who
had served as a nurse overseas, came to the rescue and applied
first aid. She acted as nurse and mother throughout the trip

QICTURES from Spain show mere

In this wrlter't humble judgment,
