Q. If, in the State of Pennsyl
vania, a man makes his Will leav
ing all propenty to his wife, is it
possible for his children to break
the Will? Is it necessary to men
tion the children in the Will?
G. G.
A. It is not necessary to men
tion the children in the Will, nor
to make any provision for them-
As long as the testator was men,
tally competent at the time of
making the Will, and the Will
shows a clear intention to give
his entire estate to his wife, the
children could not break the Will.
The only exception to this rule
arises in favor of any child who
is born after the Will is executed,
in which case (the Pennsylvania
Wills Act provides as follows: “If
the testator fails to provide in his
Will for his child born or adopted,
after making his Will, unless it
appears from the Will that the
failure was intentional, such child
shall receive out of the testator’s
property not passing to a sur
viving spouse, such share as he
would have received if the test
ator had died unmarried and in
testate owning only that portion
of his estate not passing to a sur
viving spouse ”,
Q. My neighbor built trellises
'all along the back fence between
his yard and mine This is cutting
all the pretty scenery from the
other yards from my property and
the other neighbors. They are
spite trellises and are almost
seven feet high- They stop my
flowers and rose bushes from
growing and he came in our yard
while we were away to build
Jthem. They extend slightly over
on my property. Who could I see
to make this man take down these
(trellises? H. P.
A- You have no recourse simply
because the trellises are abnor
mally high or obstruct your view.
However, if the neighbor did any
damage when he came into your
yard to erect the trellises, you
could recover for such damage in
an action of trespass against him
You may also bring an action of
equity against him and obtain an
injunction which would order
your neighbor to adjust the trel
lises so that they did not encro
ach upon your property in any

Q. If a man with a wife and
a daughter 3 years old wishes to
live separately from them, how
much would he have to give each
week for support?
A- The amount payable by a
husband for (the support of his
wife and minor child would be
fixed by the Court in a nonsup
port proceeding after an inquiry
into all tlie circumstances of the
particular case. The most im
portant factors considered would
be .the income of' the husband
and the standard of living to
which the dependents have been
accustomed. Although no fixed
rule can be established, it is prob
able that the support order would
be in an amount approximating
one-third to one-half of the hus
band’s weekly “take-home” in
come.

In a talk given before the

he claimed there is a ready mar

prices at the wholesale level

GD NEWS NOTES
FRONT END-REAR END
Cleveland, Ohio Going to a
garage to pick up his car after
mechanics repaired its smashed
front end, Stanley Wenger was
surprised to be told the car was
not ready A mechanic had taken
the car out to test the new front
end and another car had rammed
into its rear end.
vania is that the beekeeper is
almost always under-equipped,”
Clarice continued. “He has too
few bees, too few supers, a too
small honey house, too-small
equipment in the honey house,
and bee yards too far apart with
too few bees in each yard.”
He urged all beekeepers to in
crease the number of colonies,
and said they could do it with
out much more time or effort if
they would become more efficient
in management and in better
stocking of adequate equipment-
Although the honey crop in
Pennsylvania increased last year
to a total of 3,700,000 lbs, which
is an average increase of five
lbs per hive, Clark reported “The
melon, pumpkin and cucumber
crops can be increased as much
as 50 per cent by having one
colony of bees per acre, yet very
few bees are used for this pur
pose.” He urged the continued
and increased 1 use of bees in or
chards so that maximum fruit
crops can be harvested.
