Relatives of the late Mrs. Barbara
K. Do<l(l will contest her will which
h««iueathed the bulk of her fortune,

University. Charles R Currier, ex
ecutor, has been Informed of the pro
posed contest by Mrs, Fannie T. Ack
erman, of New York, sister of Mrs.

the late Philip Dodd, a wealthy At
lantan. to destroy a will executed In
1906, in which a considerable sum
wsjx set aside for her brother and
sister anti their children. It is said
a disagreement following the estab
lishment of a sanitarium at Mrs.
Dodd’s old residence on Whitehall
Street, by the sons of Henry S. Pibbl
har brother, led to the e i *trangement
Attorney <\ P. Goree. who drew
the last will, said it was clearly Mrs,
Dodd’s Intention that little be left
her relatives.
"Mrs. Dodd had considerable trouble
with her nephews p.hout a loan on ;i
sanitarium established some years
ago," skid Mr. Goree “In fact, she
had to take tire matter Into the courts
for h settlement *
"That Is why the Mercer bequest
"as not in the form of an endow
ment, but as a fund to be loaned de
serving young men 1 have not been
Informed of any intention to contest
the will and I can not see what
grounds the contest will b« based
upon."
It is recalled that Mrs. Dodd be
queathed to her brother, Henry S
Dibble. $5,000 to be held in trust,
that he was to receive only the pro
ceeds from its investment, and that
at his death the amount was to re
vert to the Mercer fund To her sis
ter. Mrs. Fannie T. Ackerman, wan
left a similar sum. without Incum
brance.
Uharles K. Uurrier. president of the
Atlanta National Bank, executor of
the will, said Monday that if a con
test is made he will quit.
The Georgian the other day told
in brief form the story of Teddy.
The story of Teddy was so remark
able that one of The Georgian's ar
tist- lias depicted It as “a comic
carles that actually happened/' His
pictures appear below, preceded by
n brief introduction:
Mrs. H. R Grantner, of Ham
mond, Ind.. saw a little 8-year-
old boy who was homeless. She
pitied him and offered him food
tnd a bed in her home. He looked
perfectly demure and harmless.
And he made no trouble at all
when sleeping, which he pro--
caaded to do shortly after ranch-
But when Teddy (as he was
nicknamedi awoke at 5:30 o'clock

No slackening in general trade is
re flected by the American Railway
Association's bulletin on the number
of Idle freight cars In the United
States and Canada on May 1.
On the contrary, a decrease of 17,-
799. a« compared with April 15, would
indicate a quickening of business.
The decrease for the two weeks
the largest reported since the early
part of June. 1912.
On May 1 there was a total of 39,-
799 Idle cars, compared with a short
age of 51,169 on November 7, when
the railroads were congested and in
need of rolling stock. A year ago
Idle cars numbered 138,881.
The shrinkage in cars was due
largely to the brisk demand for coal
cars, which caused a shrinkage in
that class of roiling stock from 19,649
to 8,510 cars.

The Pneumatic Dness 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 trimmings, drape or redrape last year’s
gown. Women who possess a PneuForm, 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 fit you. This lining is fitted snugly*
over the corset,reproducing faithfully any varia-
r hips. Pneu Form is inflated within* this lining.
"\ALLOn_the same; form
tion in size of shoulders or laps. 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
be 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. ' jy
