TEDDY'S TRIUMPH
A Comic Scries i hat
Actually Happened.
Fight Over $100,000 Fortune
Left to Mercer Will Cause
Executor Currier to Quit.
Relatives of the late Mfl Barbara
K Dodd will contest her will which
bequeathed the hulk of he fortune,
approximately >100.000. to Mercer
University. Charles E. furrier, ex
ecutor, has been Informed of the pro
posed contest by Mrs. Fannie T. Ack-
«rman, of New York, sister of Mr
Dodd.
A breach with her relatives several
year-’ ago caused Mrs. Dodd, widow of
th»» late Philip Dodd, a 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 residence on Whitehall
Street, by the sons of Henry S. Dibble,
her brother, led to tho estrangement.
Attorney O. P. Goree. who dretv
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 about a loan on a
fcanltarium established some years
ago.” said Mr. Goree. "In fact, she
had to take the matter into the courts
for a settlement
"That is why the Mercer bequest
was 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 be based
upon.”
It is recalled that Mrs. Dodd be
queathed to her brother, Henry S.
Dibble, $5,000 to be held in trust;
that be 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
te;. Mrs. Fannie T. Ackerman, was
left a similar sum, without incum
brance.
Charles K. Currier, president of the
Atlanta National Hank, executor of
the will, said Monday that If a con
test is made he will qujt.

Freight Car Bulletin
Shows Trade Is Brisk
1 Decrease of 17,799 Idle Pieces of
Rolling Stock Regarded as a
Good Sign.
No slackening in general trade is
j reflected by the American Railway
Association’s bulletin on the number
of Idle freight cars in tin; United
States and Canada on May 1.
* Mi the contrary, a decrease of 17,-
I <99. as compared with April 15. would
I indicate a quickening of business.
The decrease for the two weeks i.s
the largest reported since the early
part of June. 1912.
On May 1 there was a total of 39,-
799 idle cars, compared wjth 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 wag due
largely to ihe brisk demand for coal
cars, which caused a shrinkage in
that class of rolling stock from 19.649
to 8,510 cars.

The Pneumatic Dress Eorm
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 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.”
I’neu 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 von. This lining is fitted snugly
m-lon 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
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. "Jfa
