Camp Davis while returning home
After holding a long talk with Du-
waine Mosher, '13L, her former college
lover in which she discovered that his
love for her was dead, Miss Nora
Bartrem, '14, committed suicide in
Lansing, Mich., Wednesday morning
by drinking bichloride of mercury.
Miss Bartrem and Mosher were close
friends while studnts here but since
graduation he had lost his interest in
the affair. It is stated by the police
that from evidences discovered by
them, Miss Bartrem came to Lansing
from her home in Port Huron with the
intention of first shooting Mosher and
then committing suicide. A revolver
and another bottle of bichloride of
mercury were found in her handbag.
She arrived in Lansing Tuesday
evening and registered at the Hotel
Downey. She did not stay at the hotel,
however, but was found by Mosher at
11 o'clock waiting for him on the
porch of his rooming house where she
said that she wished to talk over old
times with him.
About midnight she asked him to
accompany her to her hotel. On the
wlay she made a pretext to fix some of
her apparel and asked him to -walk
ahead. He did so and turned around
in time to see her drinking out of a
bottle. He hailed a passing automo-
bile and took her to the hotel and then
to a hospital. She died three hours
later.
While at school Miss Bartrem was
one of the best liked of her class and
her classmates and teachers state that
it is hard to believe that she would
commit such an act. She was a bril-
liant student, receiving the highest
marks possible to obtain from the
school of music and possessng an ex-
cellent voice. iss Bartrem was a
member of a local sorority while in
school.
Come In Boys_
andWin Cup
jDuring the last few days the entries
for the summer tennis tournament
have been increasing, but they have
not been coming in fast enough. There
are only a little over half the neces-
ary number now and it is desired to
fill the entries up by the last of the
week if possible.
The entries for the tennis tourna-
ment dragged along this same way last
year with the result that the finals
were not pulled off until after the
summer session was over. The only
way to make a tournament like this
interesting is to run it off on time and
have enough men to make it worth
while. There is only one way to do
this and that is to sign up at once at
The WolveNine office or with Doe. May
at the Ferry Field club house.
Library Lights Blow Out
Students who were studying in the
library yesterday at 11:20 a. in., got
the shock of their lives when the fuse
of one of the electric facilities blew
out. No damge was done.
second lecture of Rabbi D. Lefkowitz,
of Dayton, Ohio, on the subject, "The
Literary Expression of the Oral Tra-
dition of the Mishna," yesterday after-
noon-.
In this lecture, the speaker wished
to show the development of literature
of the Hebrews between the periods
of the Old and New Testaments, a
period lasting approximately 500 years.
The Mishna was an expression of the
laws of the Hebrews which were for-
merly handed down from mouth to
mouth, the writings being found in
the Talmud. 'These writings, he said,
were not studied by men of the Chris-
tian faith for two main reasons.
First-There is a difference in lan-
guage, because Mishna is a product of
the Semitic race and the sentences are
so short as to require 50 lines in the
Talmud to equal three of the Mishna.
Second-The outlook is totally for-
eign to the Christian scholar in its
conceptions of legalism; it is not a
Christian concept.
The name Mishna is from the word
"Shana"-to repeat, and the law from
it was learned by oral repetition. The
work is divided into many parts and
treatises concerning the government
of the common acts and deeds of the
Hebrews.
Rabbi Lefkowitz quoted several ex-
tracts from the work which showed
its profound, almost Biblical tone, and
it is easily realized that it had a pro-
found influence on the everyday life
of the people. One which every col-
lege student might well post on the
,walls of his room was the quotation,
"In a place where there is no man,
strive thou to be a man." Another,
"There are three crowns : that of the
Priesthood, the Torn and that of Roy-
alty, but best of all is the crown of a
good name."

Donald Perkins, '17E, Tries to Save
Boys But Only Rescues
Three
Some little boys went canoeing on
the Huron river yesterday afternoon.
The Dead
Charles Silsby, eight years old, son
of r. Don H. Slsby, '1611, of Lowell,
Mich.
Late in the afternoon the four small
boys were playing on the banks of the
Perkins farm up the river about a
half a mile from the boathouse. The
boys were diving and swimming and
playing as all boys do. Then one of
the quartette found a small canvas
canoe on the bank. It was proposed
that they take a ride. They jumped in
and started off. Before they had
reached mid stream, the water which
is very swift at this point, turned the
canoe around. In trying to head it up
stream one of them leaned a little too
far. The canoe tipped over. The four
boys were thrown in the water.
Donald Perkins, '17E, who was
working in a nearby field, came to
the rescue. He dived into the water
and grabbed two of the boys and pull-
ed them in to shore. Then he came
back and tried to save the other two.
He succeeded in saving only one of
them. Charles sank before the man
could reach him. Perkins dived re-
peatedly till exhausted, but failed to
reach the body.
Help was called for and the police
brought grappling hooks. On account
of the boy's body being naked the
hooks failed to bring him up. For
two hours the men worked trying to
pull the ho y ouL It lay at the bot-
tom of a deep hole and they could
plainly see it.
Finally a student dived in and
brought the body up. He almost
drowned in the attempt.
The boy's father is in Lowell, Mich-
igan, practicing medicine. He gradu-
ated from the medical school in June.
