New Law in Wills
Makes for Equality
tions will point this out: A wife »btains
a valid decree of separation
against her husband. He is not entitled
to share in her estate. But he
cannot by will made after Sept. 1,
1930, divest her of her right of election.'
"A wife leaves her husband and gets
a divorce in some other state by publication
without obtaining jurisdiction
over him in the manner which would
make the divorce valid in New York
State. She has no claim in his estate
but if she has an estate subject to New
York law, he can claim the right of
election to the share which he would
take In case of intestacy. ,
"In order to appreciate the extent
to which after Sept. 1, 1930, a surviving
spouse has an interest in the estate
of a decedent, a few examples
of what the law provides for a surviving
spouse in case of intestacy
should be considered.
"If a wife or husband dies leaving
a surviving spouse oy children, the
surviving spouse gets one third of the
estate, the residue being equally divided
among the children. If a husband
or wife dies leaving no children
but parents, one half goes to the surviving
spouse and;the other half to
the parents. If a wife or husband
dies leaving surviving a spouse, but
no children, brothers, sisters, nephews
or nieces, the surviving spouse takes
all the estate.

Mrs. Kate Close has returned to New

"It will be seen, therefore, that un- Charles Close and Mrs. Close.
der the new law, a surviving spouse
has an indefeasible interest in the estate
ranging from one-third to all of
the estate, unless the will directs that
the amount of such interest be placed
in trust and pay the income thereon
to the surviving spouse for life.
"This policy on the part of the State
will more and more result in distribution
and apportion of one's estate under
various forms of trusts during the
lifetime of a person. It prevents the
untrammeled freedom heretofore obtained
in disposing by will of what one
has accumulated during life.
"It prevents, for exampl*. a form
of testamentary trust reasonably
common of leaving adequate provision*
for a surviving wife so long as she
remains unmarried, for the law requires
a man to leave to his wife at
least the portion of his estate as in
case of intestacy or to leave that tied
up in trust to pay the income without
restriction during her life. It prevents
a man, for example, from leaving
an income to his wife so long as
she remains unmarried, and upon her
re-marriage, providing that the principal
go t o hi* children.
"There are, of course, numerous other
features of the law which may in
particular cases be of considerable importance.
The main features outlined
above, however, should indicate to any
careful man the necessity of considering
before Aug. 31, 1930, what he
wishes done with his estate, and reviewing
the effect of any present will
that he has executed."
Justice of Peace Holds
Court Along Roadside
In order to comply with the new regulations
which require State Troopers
to bring those they arrest before a Justice
of the Peace rather than giving
them a summons to appear D. Wiley
Travis, Justice of the Peace, held a
roadside court at the Albany Post Road
Sunday. The troopers gave out fiftyseven
summons and Justice Travis collected
$238 in fines.
On previous Sundays, the troopers
gave out summons and directed the
motorists to take them to Justice Travis
at his home. In some cases the appearance
before a Justice of the Peace
was adjourned for several days or
weeks. In that time often political pressure
was brought to bear and the Justice
often requested by friends of the
automobilists to be lenient.. The new
method, it is expected, will stop this
practice.
If Justice Travis had remained at
his home, it would have meant that the
troopers would have spent half of their
time escorting automobilists to bis
house and taken them away from the
patrol of the highways. Because of this,
he held court at Sampson's Garage at
Oscawana.
Summons, the majority of which were
for cutting out of line on corners, were
issued by Sergeant Charles LaForge
and Trooper Ficke— Highland Democrat.
Canned Milk Convenient in Summer.
A .supply of evaporated milk on the
shelves often saves the day for the
housekeeper in summer. If the milkman
forgets to come or extra milk
is needed for cooking, canned milk,
which is simply cow's milk with the
water removed may be depended upon.
It is an especially useful product for
summer camps or wherever fresh milk
is hard to obtain.
When used uncooked in tea or coffee
evaporated milk has a characteristic
flavor acquired by the evaporating process
but in evoking this is not noticeable.
Cocoa, cream soups, desserts and
sauces may all be successfully made
with evaporated milk. Diluted with an
equal quantity of water it may be used
instead of whole milk. In recipes calling
for cream it may be used undiluted Just
as it comes from the can.
Evaporated milk may be substituted
for egg yolk in making mayonnaise
salad dressing. To whip evaporated milk
place the can in water, heat the water
to the boiling point to scald the milk
and chill. The milk must be cold before
it will whip A small quantity will
whip more easily than a large one.
Rev. Francis B. Canon and daughter
Frances, of WilUamsport, Pa., were
in town this week calling on friends.
Mr. Canon was a former rector of St.
James church.
Mrs. Emory G. Lobdel and granddaughters
Emily and Marie Follis, accompanied
by Miss Susie Holt who had
been a two weeks guest of her cousin,
Mrs. Lobdell, motored to Bridgeport
Monday morning where Miss Holt took
a New York and Boston bus for her
home at Melrose, Mass. Mrs. Lobdell
and granddaughters spent the day
with friends in Bridgeport. '
Miss Dorothy Taylor of Stamford, who
is spending the summer at the Toy
Town Tavern at Winchenden," Mass.,
was a guest at the' home of Mr. and
Mrs. Erie A. Tucker Sunday afternoon
and night. /
