heir descendants.
In the course Of time, some OF
the property was sold and one son.
Louis P. Shoemaker, died, leaving
his son Abner, Abner Shoemaker
died ana his viii instructed that his
share in his grandfater's estate so
10 an adopted child.
Abner shoemaker's viii was ques-
toned by the three surviving chill
dren OF Pierce Shoemaker. who
I'contended that Abner's share should
revert to them under the terms
of Pierce Shoemaker's wih. Justice
Bailey decided for the Plaintiffs and
ordered that a decree be entered
giving the fourth interest to the
three children of Pierce Shoemaker.
Attorneys Wilton ]. Lambert and
r. H. Yeatman appeared for the
plaintiffs; William C. Sullivan was
attorney for the trustees; the
adopted child, was represented by
Ralph Quinter, and Stanton c.
Peele represented Mrs. Louis p.
Shoemaker.
The court passed upon the ques.
tions as to whether the will violates
the rule against perpetuities and
whether an adopted child can share
under the law In an estate willed
to the descendants Of the testator.
The case has been in the courts
for some years and has attracted
much attention, recently being
argued on its merits, being con-
cluded today by the handing down

An effort may Be made to have
the color scheme Of the 1880 Dis

cause the tags are made with black

The point which has aroused com

What is a Pie-powder court? 1t
seems that as long ago as the Norman
conquest, says E. S. Marten, in Har-
pers Magazine, and even earlier, trad
ing was done considerably in England,
as also in Normandy, in fairs that
were licensed and lasted q week or
more. OF course there were disputes
between sellers and buyers, and to set
tie them there were instituted courts
Of prompt and final decision. which
were called Pied Poudreux courts ;
that IS, courts of the dusty feet a
name which English tongues inevitably
transmitted into pie-powder. Wasn't
that a pretty turn of language?

IN FAVOR OF WOMEN

Miss Elizabeth Chisholm, who has
been studying the automobile acct
dent figures of three states-New
York, Connecticut and Massachusetts
declares that the popular notion
that women drivers, in proportion to
their numbers, are involved in more
or as many accidents as men, is un-
true.
In Connecticut, where there are
four male drivers to one woman, the
women were responsible for only one
accident in H. In Massachusetts
there is one woman to five and one
half men, but the women We're to
blame for only one out of II ac-
cidents. In New York state the per-
centage was one in 25.
From these reports, which are the
only ones available for which separ-
ate records are kept of male and fe-
mael drivers, it is shown conclusiv-
ely that the women are more care
full than the men, when driving.
Miss Chisholm says it is because
they think faster and ''have had long
practice IN looking in small mirrors,
which keeps them well aware of the
road behind A better guess is
that the women are timid and take
fewer chances.
Leaving the realm of guessing, is
MT it fact that the average woman
does much less driving than the av-
erage man driver, thus throwing the
figures completely out of balance?
