developed such a sense of spOnSibility
in my judgment is requisite for the

to them, to limit my testamentary pro-
visions for their benefit to trusts pro-
ducing only such income as deem rea-
Sonable for their support. Accordingly,

of such estimated value will, in the
judgment of my executors, yield an an

of each portion and of all property SUBJ
stituted therefor and to supply the net
income and profits from the time of
my death, of one of said portions to the

portion to the use of my son, Walter
