The accident took place near Peter Freund's tavern on U. S. 14, when young Stamets ran into an unlighted' car being pushed by several lads. Fortunately no one else was injured. The work on the new high line of the Illinois Northern Utilities Co., which will bring electrical power to the farmers west of Huntley is being somewhat delayed at present. The new plant of the Pure Milk Association will use power from- this line and the electrical company can not complete the work until they know just what quantity of power will be needed at the new factory. James Christiansen, a watchman for the Groves Construction Co., suffered a broken leg Friday evening of last week, when he stepped into a rut on the graded roadway near Tower ney, bat efforts to revive him were futile, the lad fusing away shortly after being brought there. Shortly after Be had made an unsuccessful attempt Sunday night of last week at 10:30 to steal a car belonging to the Kelley Bros, garage, Marengo, Earl Pfeterson was picked up by Chief of Police Fred Nelson, and lodged in the city jail. Peterson, 16, was charged with loitering and attempted theft, after being picked up by the -officer at the intersection of Taylor Street and Route 67. Tuesday, he was turned over to officials in Chicago as a juvenile delinquent whom they had been looking tor in that city. Dairy farmers delivering milk to the Borden-Weiland receiving plant at Hebron were paid $184,375.95 for their milk during the first three months of 1937, according to information made available by H. P. Paaske, plant superintendent. A total of 8,593,813 pounds of milk was purchased from 176 farms in this region, according to Mr. Paaske. Fire, discovered in the loft of the barn in which the tenant farmer was milking the evening of May 11, spread with such rapidity that the fiames^efttirely consumed the barn and contents and two silos on the about 3:80 saw two men moving about in the cafe in the dark. They at once notified Officer Win. H. Miller, who investigated immediately. It is believed that the thieve^ became suspicious and left before they had completed their job, <£s they were seen to hurriedly climb into an old car parked near the building and leave town before the officer arrived. Besides the $23 in cash, 30 cartons of cigarettes, several bottles of whiskey and a punch board were also missing. j&~* lr'*i •3SWS., *xh\M • Our Washington Letter MtotftsM!Miteafal Washington, May 19--With an oc casional and preliminary spell of hot humid weather, which characterizes the summer season in Washington, wilting their collars, thoughts of the lawmakers turn to the probable date of adjournment.

Reed Social Security Revision: Senator Harrison of Mississippi, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee recently announced the appointment of a special advisory committee of 23 members to study proposed revisions in the Social Security Act, particularly those provisions pertaining to old age benefit payments and taxes. This Committee will consist of members representing employees, employers, and the general public. The Committee will seek to co-operate with the Social Security Board and with the Special Committee heretofore appointed by Senator Harrison with a view toward making recommendations to the next Congress. No recommendations are expected to be made to the Congress at the present session. Among the many subjects which will be considered by the Committee are: 1--Advisability of commencing, payments of were conducted during that period. The total amount expended by the House daring the 5-year period from 1932 to 1936 inclusive has been in excess of $432,000. It is therefore costing John Q. Public plenty of money to "investigate."

THE TWINKLE THE ROSETTE "The Hta« of Good Shoes Southeast Corner of Square Woodstock, 111. of Congressional leaders are studjjed for a clue. Mrs. Robinson, wife of the Democratic Senate leader intimated the Senator would accompany her abroad in July and now the current story is for a shut-down of Congressional machinery by July 1. Actually, the adjournment is solely contingent on the scope of President Roosevelt's latest program as he sets the chores for the legislative body. The belief prevails this fweek that the White House agenda for Congress will be curtailed as the political captains note growing signs of rebellion and restlessness. The key log is, of course, the proposal to reform the Federal judiciary. The action of the Senate Judiciary Committee is closely watched as a bellwether of developments in the Senate on this highly controversial , issue. The numerous conferences a£ the President's official residence over the weekend disclosed some of the obstacles in the path of this pet Rooseveltiait^project. It is admitted that a forced vote in the Senate would provoke a prolonged and bitter parliamentary contest without certainty as to the final nose count. The margin of victory is so thin that both sides are doubtful about some of their commitments and stall for time. Two major legislative patterns are expected at the Capitol within a few days. The Administration's latest de' sign tn farm policies has been drafted after consultation with organized agricultural groups. The general scheme is to revamp the program only to the extent that it will not infringe -on the edict laid dowa by the Supreme Court in invalidating the Agricultur i a! Adjustment Act. Secretary of Ag riculture Wallace l^as been building up sentiment in the field with a series of public talks to sell the philosophy behind the project to farmers who have been disillusioned as other attempts have been rendered futile. The newest farm control device has been handicapped by delays so that the weather rather than politics is the dominating factor. The second important item is the substitute for the NRA plan, which will have to do with the regulations of hours and wages in industry. Several Federal agencies have labored over tentative measures for months. The President accepted all planks for study but finally turned the offerings over to a small group in the Department of Justice to whip into shape for presentation to Congress. The feud between labor union organizations had much to do with the postponement of this project as the White House endeavored to avoid a charge of favoritism in adopting ideas sub*, mitted by rival outfits as to labor legislation. The tale going the rounds that Mr. Roosevelt intends to dump an extensive list of orders into the Congressional machine for immediate delivery is taken with a grain of salt. It is true that th«~Cjiief Executive could demand this service, bat his chances of having the orders obeyed are not as good this season. It is known that physicians have advised the elderly Senator Norris, a staunch Roosevelt defender, to leave Washington during the hot months. A small group of trusted political lieutenants have vacation plans and would oppose a sum* mer siege. Conversations now veer to an adjournment if the court struggle reaches a deadlock after a few test# as the forces come to grips in earnest. Besieged by urgent demands of governors and mayors to continue as the main contributor to relief costs, the Federal government is turning about to demand house-cleaning by the local authorities to cut down the enormous relief burden. Under strict orders from the high command the lists of relief benefits have been scanned with the hope of pruning the employables It seems that private enterprise is protesting the unwillingness of abled bodied men, skilled and unskilled, to take jobs in factories, shops and stores while it is possible to loaf at the government's expense. Farmers, in particular, are complaining about their inability to attract workers from relief rolls. If the chorus of protests increases, the politicians, national and local, will be obliged to lop off their long lists and force these employables back to honest and profitable toil. A census of unemployment as proposed in many quarters is opposed by the ] White House and government agenjcies as a waste of money. The trend is to place curbs on the free spending policies of local agencies as a means of driving this undesirable class from the relief projects. ^Che problem becomes complex as thousands of high school graduates make their bids tot jobs next month. of providing a good monthly annuity. 3--Extension of benefits to workers who become incapacitated before they reach 65. 4--Advisability of paying benefits to survivors or beneficiaries. 5--Increasing the payroll tax at a less rapid rate than the law now provides} 6--Advisability of extending benefits to groups not now eligible such as farm labor and domestic servants. 7--Whether to change the size, character or method of disposition of the reserve fund. Investigations--What is the Result? Year after year John Q. Public reads in his morning newspaper that' a special investigating committee of either the House or the Senate is investigating somethng or (somebody. But it is seldom John Q. ever reads what the result of the investigation was. Numerous Congressional investigations have been known to result in nothing whatever m the way of regulatory law. For this reason there is a grow ing resentment in the Congress to the authorization of large appropriations for conducting these inquiries. At the present time the opposition is especially pronounced in the House. Since 1932 there have been 25 major House investigations for which a total of $578,000 has been authorized, and by a major investigation is meant one in which the inquiries cost $5,000 or more. A number of minor investigations that have cost from $50 to $1500 ing to raise the amount to $2,000,000- 000, is the so-called liberal bloc, who gards to scholastic attainment.
