By DR. PAUL POPENOE

Half of all husbands, &C
cording to one estimate, die
without leaving a will to
govern the disposal of their
property. This results in much
unnecessary trouble, delay, ex-
pense, and sometimes discom-
fort or serious conflict. Mrs.
L. is certainly right in want
ing her husband to take
thought for the future.
I'VE have been married
nine years and have two small
children" she states. Il have
several times urged my hus-
band to make a will, and he
always agrees but puts it off.
I don't want to nag, but I
think it is very unfair to US
that he doesn't face this duty.
Is there any way I can get
him to act?"
If you know his banker or
attorney or any businessman
or the representative. of his
life insurance company, I sug-
gest that you prompt them.
Mrs. L. Any one of them
could bring the matter up
easily in conversation, and
this might be enough to bring
action. Many men shy away
from the thought of possible
death, but with the present
rate of automobile and other
accidents, no one is immune.
Every adult man or woman
should have a will in effect,
and it is doubly important for
a family man. Probably he
takes it for granted that his
property will go to his wife

and children, but this may
not be the case. 1t depends
on local laws. For this reason
it is imperative that a will be
drawn by a local lawyer, and
in most places the bar associ-
alton has agreed on a standard
scale of fees which is entirely
reasonable. The average wage
Garner will probably find that
it does not cost him more than
fifteen or twenty dollars to get
a will drawn, and this may
save ten or twenty times that
much in settling the estate.
Joint ownership Of property
is not a substitute for a will.
Your wife might have to wait
months before she could get
possession of property or bank
accounts. You should not only
make sure that your family
will be taken care of in the
way you desire. but it is worth
while to make some remem-
brance with things of no
particular intrinsic value for
other friends and relatives.
Perhaps you would like your
watch to go to a nephew or
some lodge memento to an
old friend. Perhaps yoL would
like to have a few of your
favorite books turned over to
your clergyman. Your family
will not resent such action,
and it is one of the ways in
which friendship can be pro-
longed.
Husbands and wives should
be frank and busineSslike in
facing this matter right now
while they are still in good
health and "of sound mind"

Editorial
MOTHERS DAY
EXCEPT FOR Christmas and Easter by far the most sig
nificant day observed throughout the calendar year is
Mothers Day. The day is observed throughout the United
States.
MILLIONS OF words, hundreds of songs and thou
sands of poems have been written all expressing love, devo-
ton and reverence for mother and the ideals for which she
stands. And whenever, through some rare exception a mother
turns in the opposite direction, falling short Of what is ex-
pected of her great means Of regret and disappointment are
heard.
BUT THE GOODNESS, the sincerity, the devotion and
the love Of mother make up the great, almost infallible rule.
Back in the times of ancient Greece mother-worship became
common practice, then it spread to the Middle East. But at
no time since then has the world failed to see some occasion,
period, day, or what have you, which was not devoted exclu-
sively to honoring mother.
OUR OWN CONGRESS on May 8, 1914, set aside
Mothers Day as the national day for public expression Of
our love and reverence for mothers. At the same time the
white carnation was chosen as the official flower for the oc-
casion because it symbolized purity. Since that Act of Con-
gress, Mothers Day has been one Of our most important days
of the year.
IN KEEPING with such observation and to further
symbolic the significance Of mother to the home, the state,
and the nation, each community elects it Mother of the Year.
This year the mother so honored is Mrs. Emmeline Finch Of
Christiansted, a mother of eleven children. In appropriate
ceremonies in the Christiansted High School auditorium
Mrs. Finch was honored on her day
THE AVIS joins everyone else in hOnoring the Mother
of the Year, as she stands in, as it were, for all mothers, and
as each son or daughter honored his or her mother as the
closest, best and most devoted friend here below.
