MCNEY REFUNDED
WITH A SMILE
Relatives of the la tv Mrs. Barbara
K. Dodd will contest her will which
bequeathed the bulk of her fortune,
approximately $100,000, to Mercer
University. Charles E. 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 several
years' ago caused Mrs. Dodd, widow of
the late Philip Dodd, n 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
a disagreement following the estab
lishment of a sanitarium at Mrs.
Dodd’s old jesidenc* on Whitehall
Street, by the sons of Henry S. Dibble,'
her brother, led to the estrangement.
Attorney C. P. Goree. who drew
the last will, said it was clearly Mrs
Dodd's intention that little be left
her relatives,
j Mrs. Dodd had considerable trouble
£ with her nephews about a loan on a
* sanitarium established some years
S * ago,” said Mr. Goree-. ”Jn fact, she
had to take the matter into the courts
I for a settlement
‘‘That Is why the Mercer bequest
£ was not in the form of an endow-
jfcinent, blit as a fund to be loaned de
serving young men. I have not been
f informed of any intention to contest
the will and I can not »ee what
grounds the contest will be based
* upon.”
♦ It is recalled that Mrs. Dodd be-
Aqueathed 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, was
♦ left a similar sum, without Incum-
* brance.
♦ Charles E. Currier, president of the
Atlanta National Hank, executor of
m the will, said Monday that if a con- 1
* test is made he will quit.

The Georgian the other day told
in brief form the story of Teddy.
T story of Teddy was so remark
able that one of The Georgian's ar
tist'- has depicted it as "a comic
Meries that actually happened.” His
plctur* s appear below, preceded by
a brief Introduction:
Mrs H. E. Grantner, of Ham
mond. Ind., aaw a little 3-year-
old boy who was homeless. She
pitied him and offered him food
and a bed in her home. He looked
perfectly demure and harmless.
And he made no trouble at all
when sleeping, which he pro
ceeded to do shortly after reach
ing the house.
But when Teddy (as he was
nicknamed) awoke at 6:30 o’clock
the next morning, he got busy,
and in the course of 60 minutes
--complished the following:
1.—Turned the hose on Mr. Grqnt-
ner, who was planting sweet peas.
Preparations are under way for the
great picnic to be given the First
Christian Sunday School by the Sec
ond Baptist, the loser in the mem
bership campaign that closed Sun
day. The final score of the two
schools was First Christian, 60,368;
Second Baptist, 52.074.
At the First Christian Church Sun
day morning Superintendent C. V.
LeCraw. of the winning school, in
troduced to his audience the super
intendent of the Second Baptist, John
K. Spalding, who spoke on “What I
Think About the First Christian Sun
day School."
“You have beaten us,” said Mr.
Spalding, “but you had to break a
world’s record to do it. I want to
offer the most cordial congratulations
of the entire Second Baptist Sunday
School.”
The contest standing the closing
day was: Second First
Baptist. Christian.
Attendance 1,233 1,673
Points scored 3,988 6,014
Final standing 52,074 60,358
it is probable that both contestants
will enter another campaign with
other schools in similar races for
membership. To discuss this a meet
ing of Baptist pastors and superin
tendents was held Sunday afternoon.

No slackening in general trade is
reflected by tin* American Railway
Association’s bulletin on the number
of idle freight cars In the United
States and Canada on May 1.
oh the contrary, a decrease of 17,-
799. as compared with April 16, would
indicate a quickening of business.
The decrease for the two weeks is
tho 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 rolling stock from 19,649
to 8,610 cars.

The Pneumatic Dress Form
PNhi FORM is the only Dress Form that shows vou exactly as
i ou 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 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 \\ hich will reproduce absolutely any figure.
There is no guesswork about it. It duplicates
your exact figure by means of an individual lin-
— — big made to fit you. This lining is fitted snugly
all on the same form over the corset, reproducing faithfully anv 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 clSth 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. ^
