FOUR HEIRS IN ONE

stop and think a little by the news of certain New
York boys good fortune
John Vanneck, aged 49, described representa-
tive of old Dutch -Knickerbecker family, has just
ceved bequest that will pay him 100000 year. He
inherits the estate of his maternal grandmother.
He already heir to three fortunes. One of
them, from his father, pays him $4,000 year. An
other, from his mother, pays him $4,000 year. A
third from uncle adds $4,000 year. A court
order has just been issued ordering the outlay from
his fourth legacy of $4,000 for the youths personal
requirements
With all those estates narrowing down to one heir,
it is evident that what that particular blue-blooded
strain needs, far more than money, is little fresh,
vigorous blood to give it start again, and
NAL multiplication of heirs.
