to be considered in administration must
remain until Greene Is proved an improper
one for the trust

body of this hose supporter is con-
structed of spring metal, and is in the
form of an open loop, so that it can be
sprung upon the leg and will adapt it

there firmly, yet comfortably. Spring
wire is preferably used in the construc-
ton of body, the wire being of suitable
gauge and either fiat or round. The Wire
is in two strands, with a space between
the strands and connected at both ends,
one end having an eye. The lower por-
ton or support consists also of two
strands of wire, with a space between
them, the upper end slightly twisted to
form an eye. the latter forming a pivotal
connection with the eye on the end OF
the body portion. Suspended from the
support is a grip of any suitable type.
This hose supporter is exceedingly light.
and the spaces between the strands of
which it is composed render it very
cool when worn. and the peculiar man
ner in which the lower portion is con-
nected with the body allows both to be
turned as may be required, but normal

body, and when worn the support lies
fat and smooth against the limb.
