tials will be used to protect the

Q. My wife had an illegitimate
child when I married her. Am I
responsible for supporting the
child? Do I have to keep himjn
my home? Her mother wants
the child, but my wife refuses
to let him go to live there
■L.B.
A. -You. have no responsibility
toward this child so far as the
law is concerned, unless you le
gally adopt him. You are not
duty-bound to keep him m your
home, but your wife does have
this responsibility, so it is a
problem you and she will have
to settle between you.
Q. About three years ago my
husband’s nephew borrowed. $5OO
from him- Since then my hus
band has become ill. There is no
note and we have only the bank
book and other relatives’ word
that he got the money. How can
I get it returned 9 RH.M.
A. Your husband will have to
sue the nephew for the money,
unless you can persuade him to
sign a note. Since it was a loan
maide by your husband, you, as
.the wife, have no right to col
lect the debt, unless your hus
band gives you specific author
ity to act on his behalf.
Q. I had my bonds changed,
naming my daughter as co-own
er. Will my daughter have to
pay inheritance tax on the bonds
if I die? A.T,
A. Your daughter will have to
pay Pennsylvania Inheritance
Tax on half the value of the
bonds, unless your death should
occur under such circumstances
as to cause the transfer to be
ruled in contemplation of death,
in which case lax would be due
on the full value. It is possible
that some Federal Gift Tax is
payable as a result of this gift
and there may also be a Fed
eral Estate Tax problem.
The Complexity of Bridges
Did you realize "that when a
bridge is closed it is open and
when it is open it closed?
