A trust fund of approximately $600,000 is to be used in their behalf. The will dis- posed of an estate of $2,000,000. The executors are Kenneth G. Smith, a son, and the Foreman Trust and Savings bank. Mr. Smith who resides at 915 Sheri- dan road, Hubbard Woods, and who maintanied a winter home at Altadena, California, died while undergoing an operation at St. Luke's hospital on No- vember 7. He was 65 years old. Income from the trust fund for a period &f ten years is to be spent for charity at the direction of his widow, Mrs. Emaroy J. Smith, Kenneth Smith, and Albert D. Lasker. On this point the will continues: "I would suggest that the one class most worthy of help is that of girls who are perforce obliged to earn their own living. Would Endow Institution "Assistance given to organizations or associations engaged especially in helping this class would, in my opin- ion, be wisely bestowed. If the net income from said aid fund is deemed sufficient for the purpose I would be glad, if, instead of working through or- ganizations or associations already formed, it were decided to establish a home or institution and endow it for the purpose of carrying on this work." Three trust funds created in 1922 for the benefit of his widow and their two daughters, Florence Gifford Ellis and June Keith Slater, are raised to $500,000 each under provisions of the will, The residue of the estate is divided equally into two trust funds, one for the benefit of his son until he reaches the age of 40 years, and the other to be used for charity for ten years and then be turned over to his son. Boys Are Given $50,000 Mr. Smith gave freely to charity dur- ing his lifetime, including the gift of $1,000,000 to the University of Chicago a little over a year ago. The Allendale association for the training of boys is left $50,000. Adelaide Stephen, private secretary, is bequeathed $15,000. Ada H. Mayer, an office employee, is left $10,000. Ern- est B. Krieger, chauffeur, is given $5000 and Euphemia Peterson, a do- mestic employe, is to receive $10,000. Mrs. Kate I. Osborne, 75 years old, of Greenwich, Conn., a sister of Mr. Smith, will receive $200 a month for the rest of her life and her daughter, Miss Rachelle H. Osborne, is to get $100 a month. Hughes Signs Book to Aid Shakespeare Fund Charles Evans Hughes recently sign- ed the American Book in which the names of all donors to the American Shakespeare fund will be entered. Wide-spread interest has been evinc- ed in this fund for the rebuilding of the Shakespeare Memorial theater. Prom- inent men and women in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Boston and New York are co-operating in the campaign. Illinois has three world's records for construction of paved roads; 1,230 miles of pavement in one year; 63 miles of pavement in one week; and 2,669 feet of 18-foot pavement in one day with one concrete mixer.
