PALMS-BRABB WILL CASE
TO BE FOUGHT IN TUCSON

A big battle for the possession OF
the fortune Of between 100000 and
$40O.000 left by the late William j.
Palms TO Mrs. Vera Brabb. Of De
troit. Is certain. The first move OF
the Palms heirs-at-law will be an At
tempt to prevent the probating OF the
will when 1t Is offered In court, June
80, in Tucson. Arlz.. where Mr.. Palms
had resided for several months prior
to his death.
Mrs. Brabb and her husband. Roy
NJ. Brabb. are determined to resist
efforts to break the will, both claim
ing that to give up the legacy might
give color to the allegation that 1t was
obtained improperly. Mr.. Brabb sees
in the contest of the will an attack
on his wife's good name, which. he
declares, he will defend with his last
dollar.
The will was drawn by Attorney
Arthur j. Lacey, of Detroit. and &C
companying 1t Is an ante-mOrteul
statement Of Mr.. Palms to the effect
that he leaves Mrs. Brabb the money
because OF the good influence she ex'
ercised over him. He gives her the
credit of redeeming him from the
drink habit. and adds she tried to
lift me up" The statement makes
indignant denial of any suggestion Of
improprleties In their relations.

need time for schooling In order that
the day will be fastened when Hitter
acy is practically wiped out OF the
country. Speaking OF the length OF
school terms recently, DR.. Claxton
said The length Of study terms IN
other countries is much longer than
in the United States, where the aver
age number Of school days Is only 1877.
In most countries OF western Europe
both city and country children have
200 days or more Of schooling in the
year. In Australia the schools of
city and country alike are In session
40 weeks, something more than 2l0
days after all holidays are counted
out In Porto Rico the schools are in
session nine months-1S5 days, not
counting holidays The same Is true
OF the rural schools Of the Philippine
Islands.
Surely an annual school term OF $50
days, and an average attendance OF 80
per cent Of this time by all the chill
dren between the ages OF six and six
teen, ii total of 1,620 days. cannot
be considered more than is necessary

THE STOVEPIPE LID!
AGED 100 YEARS

/ The "stove-pipe" hat is 100 years
old.
Think OF that when you begin the
! celebration OF the various centen-
malls! 1t vas in 1913 that the shiny
badge OF craftsmanship and general
responsibility first came into being
as We know 1t now. And since that
time 1t has been the only thing that
exists In this land OF the free and the
brave to mark the man who has &C.
complished something in the world.
1t Is painful to think Of what might
have happened II no "stove-pipe" had
been invented. What would the
preacher and the doctor and the I'M
dertaker and the exalted supreme
high mucky-mucks of all our secret
orders have done II there had been no
high hat? How would we ever be
able to distinguish the mayor or the
president OF the school board from
the common everyday man were 1t
not for the shiny tile he wears on &C.
casions when he should be distin-
guished?
Nobody really knows just when
and how the high hat did come into
! being. As far back as the middle OF
the eighteenth century something like
It was used by the handles OF the
courts OF the English and French
monarchs. At the beginning of the
nineteenth century II came into gen
eral use In little different form from
the present. Then 1t had a very bell
shaped crown and was usually made
| of some furry material. 1t was worn
by gentlemen" only. Then the hat
took its present shape and as such
It has come down through the his
tory of the United States as the only
badge of ONCE for the truly great.
| The poet who sang OF the uneasy
way the head would lie that wore a
crown could also have added stove
pipe II there had been such thing
| In has time. For there Is certain
amount Of uneasiness attending Its
wear. According to doctors, II has
had much to do with causing badness
or scantiness of hair among the great
and near-great. The "stovepipe" fits
| tightly on the head when It fits al
all. And by depressing the blood
vessels causes the impoverishment OF
Natures foliage.
However, let no one worry over
that. This Is the centennial of the
high hat and every one should cele-
brate. For who knows when the
hand OF fate might pluck him from
obscurity, and. handing him a shiny
"stove-pipe" lid, bid him fare forth
and hold his head high above the
crowd? For by that action he Will
have been anointed by the gods OF
fortune, even though 1t be his own
perspiration that does the amounting.
And he will be crowned with the
only crown known to free people.
