OSTEOPATHY The Voice of Authority on Adju»tment» of the Spinal Column. See an Osteopath FIRST 0 Working Girl’s Plea for Support of Child Reveals Noble Descent f\ ~cou>m^y KtATAJ^iA San Francisco, July 19.—From the cultured, sheltered circles of'Russia's nobility, now fallen beneath soviet ism, to one of the most menial tasks in America, has been the long, be wildering descent of beautiful, re fined, educated Natalia Victorovna Slifasovskay Marriott. This was disclosed when she took the witness stand in Superior Judge E. P. Morgan's court and pleaded haltingly, under the questioning of her attorneys, Joseph M. Trusty and Sidney Rhein, that her husband, Frank Marriott, said to be the young er son of a titled English family, be required to pay her $30 a month for the support of their child. Marriott said he was willing to pay $30 a month, but Judge Mogan declar ed $50 was little enough, and so ruled. Woven Into the charges that the young Russian noblewoman will bring in the divorce complaint that she will file following this suit Is a story torn from the bleeding heart of Russia. For the girl wife and her baby, and her mother, now living in poverty, once enjoyed all the luxuries of pre war Russia. When the family finally accomplished Its escape from the bolshevik forces In Siberia they settled in Shanghai. There Natalia Slifasovskay met and married Marriott in 1922, and they moved to San Francisco. Sitting In the little flat that shel tered this family that once owned proud estates, the mother told in halt ing English how she managed to sell her jewels In Shanghai and come to San Francisco to be with her daugh ter in the crisis of an unhappy mar riage. There are no more Jewels, so to earn bread for her baby and mother Natalia, found a Job In a cannery. This girl, whose father was a noble man, general of artillery, who died for his "Little Father" In the world war, whose mother came of one of the most distinguished scholastic families in Russia, is meekly doing her menial task. "My husband died in the war," ex plained Mme Rklifasovskay. ' War, more war, then revolutions. I went to Siberia and established a high school for girls of families who had to flee Petrograd. "My people were anti-bolshevik and it Is true that I gave succor to my own people. So when the bosheviki came into power ttiey took my school and everything they could lay their hands on. They might have killed us as they did all my relatives if we had not escaped." Nor are her marital troubles the sum total of Natalia Marriott's woes, for hack in Itussia she has left behind friends and relatives, among them an uncle who was the president of the University of Moscow, and another uncle who was professor of medicine in the same institution. It was at this university that she learned to speak six languages fluently. RECEPTION FOR REV. A. K. WALBORN Several farewell receptions in honor of Tlev. A. K.

Three men got out, two of them armed, and ordered the oouple out of the car. They searched Henry and then got In the car. They asked Henry what the gear shift was and he replied, ‘'standard."

July 19.—Unofficial Amer ican suggestions on the matter of German defaults which were laid be fore the i ommlttee of the interallied conference yesterday led to the elaboration of various alternative formulae by the experts, especially by the French, according to the Dally Telegraph's diplomatic expert who says that the American suggestions are ascribed to Owen D. Younfc, a member of the Dawes committee. The Telegraph writer says that the French formula was drawn up by Count l’erettl de La Korea, head of the economic department of the French foreign office and comprised four articles, the first two of which combined parts of the French and British proposals. The third and fourth, however, art entirely new. The third article, according to this authority was to the effect that in order to guarantee the service of the proposed German loan and to facilitate its marketing to the public, the allies declare that In the event of sanctions being employed following a German default they will regard the service of the loan as enjoying a first mortgage over all those re sources of Germany which will fall Into their possession or under their control.
