Red Cross Water
 First Aid Makes
 Life-Saving Gain

More than 325 Chapters engaged in life saving or water first aid last year with the result that the American Red Cross Life Saving Corps has set new high mark for enrolment and the number of qualified life savers de- veloped. The influence of "learn to swim week" in many localities is re- ducing the water fatalities through in- structiOn and the wider dissemination of resuscitatiOn methods demonstrated by the Red Cross representatives. Ex- cellent work has been done in teaching a large part of the American pOpula. tion how to take care of itself in the water. Growing appreciation for this Red Cross Life-Saving Service is shown by the compulsory instruction adopted In many cities for members of the police and fire departments in the prone pressure method of resuscita- tiOn

'HINCKIE Will 7.
UPHELD BY COURT
JUDGE PARSONS FINDS FOR DE-
PENDANT IN ACTION BROUGHT
TO NUILIFY WILL

District Judge w. L. Parsons, in a
decision filed Friday, finds for the de-
PENDANT in the case of Victoria Hinckle
ana Clarence Hinckle VS.. J. w. Berg
as administrator of the estate of Mary
+. Chance Hinckle. In his decision, the
Judge holds that the plaintiffs are not
entitled to the relief asked, namely to
have the will of their mother nullifed'
Ihls case was heard at the adjourned
term of court here in September, 1921,
and was ordered submitted on briefs.
The will Of the late Mrs. Hinckle
lett one-third of her property to Mr..
Hlnckle and the remainder to be diyid-
ed between the two children, Clarence
and Victoria, and Mrs. Hinckle s
brothers and sisters. The children con-
tested the will on the grounds that
their mother agreed before her MARI
rage to Mr.. Hinckle, to leave all her
property to them upon her death.
In his decision Judge Parsons holds
that the evidence does not sustain the
allegations of the plaintiffs complaint
respecting the agreement purported to
have been made between Mr.. and Mrs.
H1nckle, and that consequently the
Plalntltts are not entitled to the relief
asked in their complaint and the action
should be dismissed. The defendant is
allowed his cost and disbursements in
the case. A stay of 80 days is granted.
In lengthy note appended to the de-
clslon Judge Parsons reviews the tes-
tlmony regarding the alleged agree
ment made by Mrs. Hinckle with Mr..
Il; prior to her marriage to him.
The judge stated that if such an agree
ment was made, there was nothing to
show that the matter was ever discus
sea after the marriage, even after Mrs.
Hinckle's health began to fail, some
years before her death.
