The repealer goes to Gov. Emmer son for signature or veto within ten days. If he signs the measure prohibition enforcement in this state will be left solely to the federal government, and Illinois will join company with five other states of the union which have wiped dry laws from the statutes. Although Gov. Emmerson had no comment to make, it is believed that he will sign the repealer. Paddock Votes For Repeal Senator Paddock of this district voted for the repeal. The "key" vote was cast by a colored man from Cook county, otherwise the vote would have been a tie. He is Senator Roberts and is among the most accomplished orators in the senate. Senator Kes singer- from Aurora* who has a Mdiy^: record, was absent. In the House the bfll passed by a Vote of 90 to 56 several weeks ago. If the bill is signed by the Governor, Illinois will be the sixth state in the union to repeal its state prohibition enforcement acts.

Northwestern To Adopt s New Freight Service 'Arrangements for door-to-door package freight service between certain designated Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota points on the Chicago & North Western Railway have been completed and will go if]to effect May * *** 1 with plans under way to extend this *' service to cover every state on the North Western System, H. W. Beyers, Vice-President-Traffic of the road, «Chicago, announces. jK*!-'-*. "The Chicago ft North Western "4f Railway for a considerable period has V" been led to believe by its patrons that 5»., - there is a quite general demand for pL*^ -' through bills of lading from storedoor to store-door, including pick-up - -« by the railroad at the point of origin ' and delivery at the destination poinc : to stores and industries. "In order to make this possible, we have been negotiating with draymen at stations on our line to place ourselves in a position to establish a tariff which will include within its service the issuance of a bill of lading at the shipper's industry, picking up the freight at that point, and making delivery at stores or Industries as the case may be. "The North Western has been ready for several months to provide a tariff of this nature, but has held it np in Older that some other lines might . have an opportunity to establish similar service concurrently, if they so desired. It has been concluded definitely now that this service be made effective quite generally in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota and that shortly thereafter similar arrangements will be effected and put into operation in all the nine states served by the Chicago ft North Western Railway. This plan does not contemplate free pick-up and delivery service. The charges for this additional service are shown in the tariff and are on the basis of actual cost to the railroad for . such drayage. In addition to this, every effort is being made to speed np the service to the end that for as . great a radius as possible, patrons may receive next morning delivery of Hironimus is five feet, three inches tall and weighs but 110 pounds.- He is unable because of the contraction of facial muscles, to close his left eye. "I was put to work in the kitchen when I came here scrubbing tables. They put me in a cell with a man named Nelson, about 45 years old. wanted to get in with one of my brothers, but they wouldn't let me," Hironimus told Igoe. Asked whether he would prefer transfer to Pontiac he declared that he would sooner remain with his brothers. Committee members ^stated that he would be eligible for parole in four months but that they would make an effort to get his release before that time. McHenry county people are not so strong for the parole of Hironimus. Sheriff Lester Edinger and Harold Gilles, who gave chase to the Hironimus bandit car following the holdup of the Wagner filling station, . say Clifford was not driving, but shooting. Others who were victims of the bandit gang are not so sure they want, the young man released in four months. The Hironimus gang terrorized the 'countryside last summer. Weekly visits to McHenry county had people in a nervous state of mind. State's Attorney V. S. Lumley says the mind 'and body of Clifford Was diseased long before he was sent to the state penitentiary. #.-«Y ir1 How to Kill Paint Odors The odor of fresh paint may be killed or considerably lessened. A basin of water containing a few drops of sulphuric acid placed In the room will absorb the odor. An open paper bag containing several pieces of charcoal left In the room and the room tightly closed will remove the odor. One woman has tried leaving several palls of cold water in the room a few hours, then replacing this with fresh water for overnight, and it proved effective. In the country they put a handful of hay in a pailful of water and this completely eradicates the* unpleasant odor, of fresh paint., Tha program given at the high school auditorium Thursday evening for the benefit of the high school orchestra was a success in every way and a satisfactory amount was raised to increase the fund to meet the expense of the orchestra in their trip to Springfield to enter the state contest Although the program was arranged in less than a week's time it was a most pleasing one and exhibited the talent of many of the orchestra members in solos on various instruments as well as other varied numbers which were much enjoyed. The selections "Mazurka" and "Sinfonietta" were the numbers which the orchestra played at the state contest on Saturday while their third selection, "Song of India" is the required number for the National contest. That the members of the orchestra and their director, W. N. Sears, are looking forward to attend the National contest was made evident by their preparation of this required number.

Riverside"- Bunte's and Mors#** instate Councils For Child Health and Protection As an outgrowth of May Day celebrations a State May Day committee S has been organized in practically evejry state, not only to concern itself with the observance of May Day, but especially to carry on year-round programs initiated, on that day, for child health and protection. From the first, the official Boards of Health, Education and Welfare, the Agricultural Extension service, and all state-wide groups of men and women had representatives on these committees and they gradually became permanent state organizations. After the congressional action which officially constituted May Day the National Child Health Day in our country, the state and provincial health authorities accepted May Day as part of their own program and named a Child Health Day committee from their own members. Later they endorsed the plan of developing May Day committees into State Councils and gave their assistance in forming them in a number of states. Constitutions for these State Councils have been adopted, varying to meet local situations, but all built around certain definite points. The White House Conference on ChHd Health and Protection has stimulated the organization -of councils, as it was realized that such groups would prove of great service in making the objectives of the conference the working programs for the state.
