TRUSTEES INTERPRET WILL
Service in the World War Makes Up
for His Failure to Earn $500 a
Year as Required by Fathers
Last Testament.

Minneapolis.-Five years service in
the World war, wounded at Ypres in
1915 and again 1917, and citation for
bravery by Field Marshal Lord French
will make up for the failure of George
Camp Douglas to make $500 in two
consecutive years, as provided by the
will of his father, Walter d. Douglas.
The trustees of the estate, valued
at more than S2000,00O, have agreed
that the war hero shall get his one
third of the estate, according to State
Senator Charles r. Fowler, his guar
dian. The estate will be divided in
November, when the younger of the
two sons will become thlrty-fve years
old.
The father, chairman of the board
of directors of the Quaker Oats COM
pany, was drowned when the Titanic
sank In 1912. In the following year,
after small legacies had been paid,
the estate was left to the widow, Mrs.
Martha Dutton Douglas, and the two
sons, George Camp Douglas and Ed
ward Bruce Douglas.
Was to Earn $4,000.
Each Of the sons was to earn $500
In two succeeding years before he re-
ceived his share. The Minneapolis
Trust company and George +. Piper
were named as trustees, with instruc-
tons to divide 1t when the younger
son became thirty-five years old. In
the meantime Mrs. Douglas has re-
ceived the income from the estate and
each of the sons has received an al
lOwance of $4,000 a year.
Before the war Captain Douglas
was defendant in suit for aliena-

secured against him by creditors. The

JAP TYPEWRITER NO TOY.
Complicated Machine Contains More
Than 5000 Characters.

The old fashioned ink pot and haii
brush used by the Japanese in then
writing for the past Is centuries is fast
being supplanted in modern commercial
firms by the newly-invented Japanese
typewriter. The proverbial ability Of
the Japanese 10 initiate was of no avail
in the matter Of the typewriter, for
in place of the S0-odd characters nssI-
ally found ON an American machine,
the Japanese cannot get along with less
than 5000. As an American style ma
chine with 5000 keys would take a
whole Office force to operate it, it be-
came necessary for X. Sugimoto, in
ventor of Japanese typewriter, to de-
yelop an altogether new principle.
When Mr. Sugimoto set to work
building his typewriter be was faced
with the fact that the Japanese Ian
guage is written in three sets of char
acters the Katakana, phonetic sys-
tenn Of as characters, corresponding
roughly 10 our Roman letters; the Hi
ragana, a similar system corresponding
to our script, and the Chinese ideo
graphs. Of which one must know 5000
to be able TO express himself
This complexity was met by having
movable type. representing each of
these thousands of characters, placed
in tray. The paper carriage can be
moved about over the tray, and when
it is opposite the character needed the
operator strikes the single KEY which
is placed in front of the carriage. The
working Of the key causes an arm 4,
pick up the piece Of type designated,
strike il against the paper and drop Il
back into its place on the tray.
The main tray Of this Japanese writ
ing machine is IKE inches in size and
contains 2.3l5 type spaces. The most
frequently used characters are placed
in this tray other characters. inrlui-
ing Arabic numerals and English let
ters, are contained in two auxiliary
trays. each containing 400 spaces, be-
sides the main tray. When called into
use, these characters are transferred TO
empty spaces in the main tray BY
.weezers Experienced typists attain an
average speed OF rs words per minute
