State College Girl Attempts Suicide
in Chicago. -
_ Miss Helen B. Owens, daughter of
Dean and Mrs. Frederick W. Owens,
of State College, and student at the
University of Chicago medical school,
is battling for her life at the Albert
Billings memorial hospital, in Chica-
go, following an attempt at suicide
on Tuesday night of last week. Over-
study and alleged worries over a love
affair are given as the reasons for
the young woman’s rash attempt to
take her life.
She was found writhing in pain in
her room in one of the dormitories of
the Chicago institution, late on Tues-
day night of last week, by students
who heard groans emanating from
her room. She was rushed to the
hospital where powerful antidotes
were administered and six blood
transfusions were given her within
twenty-four hours. Her parents were
promptly notified and went to Chica-
go without delay.
Miss Owens graduated at Cornell
in 1926 with the degree of A. B., go-
ing from there to Chicago to enter
the medical school at the University.
She is only 23 years old and is said
to be the youngest student ever en-
rolled in the course. One of her
reasons for going to Chicago, it is al-
leged, was to be near John Mayer, of
Pittsburgh, whom she met at Cornell
and with whom she is said to be in
love. It is said they are engaged and
Miss Owens had asked her parents
for consent to their marriage but they
had counseled waiting until she had
obtained her medical degree. Mayer
is employed at Gary, Ind.

JOHN GILBERT IN “SHAME”
We take pleasure in presenting that fascinating lover, John
Gilbert, in “Shame,” on our screen, while on our stage we will
offer a special attraction in the appearance in Bellefonte for the
first time of JOSEPH ARMSTRONG, Penn State’s hypnotist,
the student who has baffled doctors, scientists, etc., by actually
hypnotizing a person over the telephone, without even seeing
his subject. This experiment was successfully accomplished in
the presence of fifteen witnesses. Young Armstrong will demon-
strate his hypnotic powers this one night only, using local sub-
jects.
With John Gilbert on the screen, this attraction is well worth
the admission of 50 cents.
