Continued interest in the investiga- tion of the safety of Calvert street and Klingle Ford bridges by the Kiwanis Club was evident from a report read by Eugene Adams, forrer president of the club, who is the chairman of the com- mittee appointed by the organization to_look into the matter. Following qualified assections of the District authorities that these struc- tures ure safe, if used as regulations specify, @ report will be submitted to the club by John E.

Eleven dairy cows which had become grandmothers many times were made young and frisky by a serum extracted from glands of sows, the statement said.

The case involved an inheritance tax .of $56,304 on the estate of Mrs. Ada- line Pepper Gibson, socially prom- inent and a tive of Senator George W. Pepper, who enlisted as a telephone operator with Base Hospital 38. She died January 10, 1919, leav- ing an estate valued ‘at $780,000. Heirs are suing for a return of the inheritance tax, on the ground that Mrs. Gibson was a member of the military forces of the United tes, served as a-nurse and in- terpreter as well as a telephone operator, wore a nurse’s uniform and overseas chevrons. Assistant United States District Attorney Henry B. Friedman urged that Mrs. Gibson enrolled as a civilian telephone operator and that her status had not changed at the time of her death.
