REGISTER OF WILLS WORK IS INCREASED Bankruptcies, Resulting From Con- ditions, Add to Duties Without Additional Force. ‘The period of depressicn which has resulted in many bankruptcies has given a great deal of additional work without additional working force to the office of Register of Wills, District Auditor Daniel J. Dznovan pointed out to the subcom- mittee drafting the District appropria- tion bill. “Under the present condition,” he said, “many estates of deceased persons are bankrupt or insufficient to pay lega- cies before the commencement of ad- ministration; others become invclved or bénkrupt during the priod for admin- istration, which under the laws of this jurisdiction is one year. In addition estates become more involved before the end cf the administration year, due to general business conditions. There are, unfortunately, & number of defalcations on the part of fiduciaries requiring ac- tion against them by the office of Reg- ister of Wills. The problem of the proper inve:tments cf funds in estates under the jurisdiction of this office has become increasingly acute becauze of the passing of dividends and the gen- eral decrease in the value of ies, necessitating action by this office for the replacement of such securities with new securities approved by the court.” “MISS HERSEY” DIES Worian Head of Girls’ School Was Prominent Literary Figure.

S. PEACE SYSTEMS Warfare Between China and Ja- pan Were Cited in Radic Dis- cussion Tast Night. ‘The peace systems of the League of Nations and the United States are be- ing rapidly unified as a result of the warfare between China and Japan, it was pointed out in a radio discussion last night between Felix Morley of the Brookings Institution and William T. Stone, Washington representative of the Fereign Policy Association. In view of that development,” Mr. Stone contended, “the issue of Ameri- can membership in the League has be- come a secondary matter. The chief thing is that co-operation should be effective. It doesn't much matter how we label that co-operation or whether we prefer not to label it at all.” Mr. Morley asserted that the first practical procedure to determine what constitutes “aggression” and “gelf- defense” is now being worked out by the League of Nations, s —— Milan, Italy, will hold an international automobile and nautical show in April.
