Q. Is ait possible to collect $3OO
Herat to a friend? I was present
when nay husband .gave it to ham
(but toe did not ask for a receipt.
Since then we are not friends
We asked for the money belt toe
said try to got it. J. F
A- A loan is not uncollectible
merely because there was nothing
in wanting. If the loan was made
more than six years ago, a suit to
recover it would toe toarred toy the
Statute of Limitations. Since your
former friend refuses to repay
the loan, the only thing you can
ido to collect is to bring suit,
,assuming the loan was made less
than six years ago-

Q I tooulgtot, for cash, an oil
burner a few months ago. They
installed it in a pipeless steel
heater. The salesman who sold
it to ns left the concern toe work
ed for right after toe received
the commission from our sale.
Now ‘it makes an awful noise
and does not heat our home as
promised. We put up a new Chim
ney for them because they said
nt would overcome the noise tout
it didn’t. We have almost $6OO
in this heater We asked them to
(fake it out and refund 'Out money
and (they offered us $75 for it
We understand now that it should
never have been out in our heater
(to begin' with. Is there anything
we could do about it, or do we
have to pay for the mistake of
.the salesman? E- S-

A The law of Pennsylvania im
poses a duty on a husband and
father to support has wife and
child The obligation of a husband
to support his wife is not depend
ent upon her indigency, tout is

prive her of the right to support
by her husband, although her in
come is a factor that may be con
sidered by the Court in fixing the
amount of support due by the
husband for 'lms wife's and 'child's
support.
