Germany Recognizes Wills
Legal Made Aboard Ships
BERLIN. Feb. 16—Wills may be
legally made in airships, according to
Dr. Goldman, who contributes an ar
ticle to the Deutsche Juristen Zeitung
in which he discusses the making of
last wills and testaments in midair.
Under the German law a German
citizen may make a legal will in either
a German or foreign airship. He must
write and sign it himself. It must be
indicated what ship the document is
written on. but the actual position of
the ship need not be indicated. For
example it would be sufficient to write
' On board ZR3 on the way from New
York to Frederichshaven.”

the installation of radio in the House
of Parliament. The service is to be
powerful enough to listen in on Lon

York city. It is predicted that atten

the radio room will be more crowded
than the chamber.

Standard Oil Company
Doing Good Business
The local station of the Standard
Oil Company is slowly picking up aft
er a slack month during the closed
season for halibut fishing. The U. S.
S. Cedar, Capt. Leadbetter, took on a
quantity of fuel oil the past week, as
did the Seamaid and the Gladstone.
On account of the boiler at the plant
being out of commission, pumping oil
from the big tanks now' is somewhat
of a job, the oil being very heavy on
account of the cold weather. Where
the oil is usually pumped at a temper
ature of from sixty to ninety degrees,
the oil is now' pumped at a temper
ature of nineteen degrees, probably
the coldest oil ever pumped by the
company. Where formerly three hun
dred gallons a minute wrere pumped
from the tanks, now 150 gallons an
hour is considered good progress. The
boiler w'ill be prepared this coming
spring, when extensive improvement
will be made to the plant.
