WHAT IT COSTS TO
KEEP AUTOMOBILE
MilliOnaire's Widow Gives At
torney Valuable InfOrma-
ton About Expense

The question of the cost of upkeep of
an automobile entered largely into the
fixing of the family allowance of Mrs.
Emily w. Benedict. widow of Egbert
j. Benedict. by Judge Graham yester-
day. Attorney Matt L Sullivan. repre-
senting the contestant of the will.
CORTLAND $. Benedict, father of the
decedent. objected to Mrs. Benedict
being allowed $4,000 a month-the
amount she asked.
Mentioning her ordinary expenses.
Mrs. Benedict referred TO automobile
maintenance as one of the greatest.
Well, that would not use up very
large proportion of the allowance,
would it?" asked Sullivan.
DO you want me to tell you, Mr..
Sullivan, just what the upkeep of my
machine costs me?'' asked Mrs. Bene-
dict. meaningly.
NO, don't bother" replied Sullivan.
Il suppose it is only limited by the
means of the owner. 5000 a month
should be sufficient"
What = what = what - WHAT eX-
claimed Mrs. Benedict, excitedly. Let
me tell you, Mr.. Sullivan, that it runs
from $3.50 to $500 a month. Why, on
one trip to San Jose, two tires had to
be replaced, and they cost $50 each.
The salary of the chauffeur is 500 a

now. But do you consider IAN automo-
bile one of the necessities of life?'
My husband always did. and am
in accord with his judgment" an

since 1908 the living expenses of her
self and husband were $500 a month.
She now occupies three rooms at the

$3.50 a month Ip order to escape
publicity she takes her meals in her

Telephone switches at 10 cents apiece

stated that she had a number of her
husbands friends to take care of, pay
ing them an allowance each month.
We'll, the court will not allow char
liable requests to be made out of the
estate, observed Sullivan. Il think
the court should not encourage ex-
travagance among widows"
This court always looks with kindly
eyes upon widows, declared Judge
Graham. Don't you think YOU could
honor, turning to the widow
We'll, 1 might manage to. but il is
less than 1 have been used to-" replied
Mrs. Benedict
sJudge Graham signed the order al
lowing her $1,000 a month from the
date of the death of her husband.

shampooingS said Clsribel Montague
in her lecture on Beauty" at the The

proven beyond question that too
frequent wetting and the application
of alkaline substances TO the hair is a
mistake.
Even those who formerly were de-
voted to shampooing with eggs now
use therox and orris root. and they
unhesitatingly declare that this dry
shampoo makes the hair as bright and
fluffy as ever did eggs
ITO make the dry shampoo mix four
ounces of powdered orris root with four
ounces of therox- Sprinkle a table
spoonful of the mixture on the head
and brush it we'll through the hair.
Do this once or twice a week IL the

SAFE DEPOSIT COMPANY
DIVIDEND POSTPONED
Judge SeaweII Grants Further
Delay Until March J

dividend of 10 per cent would have
been payable today to depositors of the
insoivent California safe deposit and
trust company under an order signed
nearly a month ago by Judge Seawell,
but his honor yesterday postponed the
payment to March Z.
This further delay gives the re-
habilitators of the bank renewed hope
of their ability to carry through their
project.
The failure of H. P. Wilson, the New
York capitalist who is putting $780,
900 into the reorganization scheme, to
arrive in San Francisco from New York
has delayed the perfecting of their
plans for reopening the institution.
