Relatives of the late Mrs. Barbara
K. Dodd will contest her will which
bequeathed- the bulk of her fortune,
approximately $100,000, to Mercer
University. Charles B. Currier, ex
ecutor, has been informed of the pro
posed contest by Mrs. Fannie T. Ack
erman, of New York, sister of Mrs.
Dodd.
A breach with her relatives y.< veral
year-ago caused Mrs. Dodd, widow of ,
th»* late Philip Dodd, i wealthy At
lantan. to destroy a will executed In
1906, in which a considerable sum
was set aside for her brother and
sister and their children. It Is said
\ disagreement following the estab
lishment of a sanitarium at Mrs.
Dodd's old resident e on Whitehall S
Street, by the sons of Henry S. Dibble,
her brother, led to tho ewtrangemept.
Attorney <P. Goree. who drew
tho last will, said It was clearly Mrs
Dodd’s Intention that little be l«ft
her relatives.
Mrs Dodd had considerable trouble
with her nephews about a loan on a
sanitarium established some years
a*n." said Mr. Goree. "In fact, she
had to take the matter into the courts
for h settlement.
"That why the Mercer bequest
was not in the form of an endow
ment but as a fund to be loaned de
earving young men. 1 have not been
informed of any intention to contest
the will and T ran not see what
grounds the contest will be based
upon ”
Tt is recalled that Mrs. Dodd be
queathed to her brother, Henry S.
Dibble, $5,000 to be held in trust,
ihat he was to receive only the pro-
■ aadU from Its Investment, and that
at his dn&th the amount was to re
vert to the Mercer fund. To her sis
ier, Mrs. Fannie T Ackerman. \va.
left a similar sum, without incum
brance.
Charles K. Currier, president of the
Atlanta National Bank, executor of
the will, said Monday that if a con
test is made he will quit.

The Pneumatic Dress Form
PNEU FORM is the only Dress Form that shows you exactly as
you are. It will stand for you while you study your own figure, create new
designs, make alterations, change tri minings, drape or redrape last year’s
gown. Women who possess a Pneu Form, and who have their dressmak
ing done at home or at the dressmaker’s, need not, stand for hours, nor
dress and undress forty times a day at the request, “Just let me try this
once more, please.’’
Pneu Form is the only Dress Form in exist
ence which will reproduce absolutely any figure.
There is no guesswork about it. It duplicates
your exact, figure by means of an individual lin
ing made to tit you. This lining is fitted snugly
\allon the same form over the corset,reproducing faithfully any varia
tion in size of shoulders or hips. Pneu Form is inflated within this lining.
If your dress fits your Pneu Form it will fit you. The air is contained
in a rubber cloth bag, having the general curves, etc., of the human form.
Pneu Form is a skirt form, as the lining is made well down over
the largest part of the hips, giving an exact model over which skirts may
he fitted and draped. Adjustable rod gives skirt length.
It is the most helpful and satisfactory dress form we have ever
seen.
Ask at the pattern counter to have it demonstrated to you. , ^
