HEALTH OF LADY HEATH

ALLEGED INCOMPETENCY Lady Heath, formerly Mrs Elliott Lynn, the British air-woman was alleged to bo “incompetent” in an application for appointment as her guar-j dian recently filed at Cleveland, Ohio, by her nurse and companion, Alias Florence Aladdcn. The action came as a surprise, as after her return from Reno, where she secured a divorce from Sir James Heath last May, Lady Heath made many public appearances, and her health appeared to be gooo. Lady Heath, according to the application, is in a sanatorium, which she entered the other day for treatment for a nervous condition, apparently the result of the injuries she received 12 months ago when her aeroplane crashed through the roof of a factory. Aliss Aladdcn alleged that Lady Heath was no longer able properly to take care of herself and of her property, consisting of a trust fund from which she receives an annual income of £7QO. Lady Heath was one of the pioneers of flying for women in England. In 1928 she flow across Africa to Capetown and back to England. She had a big crash at Cleveland last August while making an exhibition flight at the national air races. She fell through the roof of a six-storey building, and was taken to hospital unconscious with a fractured skull. For some timq_it was feared that she would lose her sight.
