Representatives of 81 small towns In the state met in Berwyn, Just west of the Chicago city limits, and decided to fight any attempt to invade home rule in forthcoming electrical legislation. The meeting was called because of another meeting held by representatives of utilities and other electrical interests for the purpose of formulating bills to be presented at the next session of the legislature in January. Almost six million dollars will be paid in license fees this year by corporations doing business in Illinois, according to an ahnonncement by Secretary of State Louis L. Einmerson. The corporation department so far this year has collected over a million dollars In fees in excess of the amount collected in the same period last year. Nine years ago the total collections from corporations did not exceed $450,000. Corn diseases in 1926 peeled $47.- 861,977 from the bankroll of Illinois farmers, according to Prof. J. C. Hackleman, crops extension specialist of the college of agriculture. University of Illinois. This sum. he said, represents the labor expended on 1,- 782,569 corn-producing areas which were rendered unproductive by the diseases. The figures Indicate that 16 per cent of the 1926 crop would be lost because of the root, statlk, ear and cob-rot diseases of corn. Thirty-five employees of the Flossy Dental Manufacturing company, Evanston, fled to the street to escape a rapidly spreading fire that started when an electric light bulb exploded and ignited a pile of celluloid. All avatlage fire equipment in lfivanston was called to fight the flames, but th& entire building of the concern and the quarters of the Cannon Electrical Service company and the SchafTer Battery service, adjoining, were destroyed. The total loss was estimated at $Ti00.- 000. * Attempts of assassins to murder Herman Oarcelli, deputy sheriff and city court bailiff of Chicago Heights, were met with an order bv Sheriff a substitute providing for regulation by an independent commission. J The first move toward action at the Impending session must come from the senate and house conferees, who still have the conflicting bills under consideration. Several ways out of the difficulty are seen. H the wrangle threatens to continue too long. Scott thinks the house and senate might adopt a resolution prepared by White for temporary control until permanent legislation can be enacted. At the same time another current of thought is pressing Into the controversy. It Is being sponsored by Representative Bloom (Dem., N. T.), who Is against both the senate and house plans, either of which, he holds, would encourage the development of a radio monopoly that would make all other monopolies look puny In comparison. What should be done, In his opinion, is to appoint a "radio czar,** an expert not now connected with the government, who would give the' problem his entire attention until the development of radio and aviation makes necessary, as he believes It will, the creation of a new administrative department with a secretary of air in the cabinet . Four new names appear on the roll of congress. Hie four strangers are: David W. Stewart, elected to the senate for three months to fill the seat from Iowa left vacant through the death of Albert B. Cummins. Arthur R. Gould, elected to senate from Maine to fill the unexpired term of Senator Fernald. Harry L. B^nglebrlght and Albert E.

In the good old days, when Lent was kept with fish and fasting, the company saw to It that no unsound fish was sold In Billingsgate market, and punished offenders with the stocks. With the Income from Its holdings the company supports three large almshouses, one of which Is Jesus hospital In Bray. Here "rooms with chimneys" provide flt accommodation for forty old people, six of whom are to be the "most aged and poorest decayed persons of the com pany of fishmongers over fifty year* of age." Loose leaf work is a specialty of the Plaindealer job department. Vary Old Superstition The superstition concerning the spilling of salt Is derived from the ancient Romans, who 'used salt in their sacrifices and regarded It as sacred to the Penates. Hence to spill it carelessly was to incur the displeasure of these household divinities. After accidentally spilling salt, the ancient Roman was wont to throw some over his left shoulder--the shoulder of ill omen--thereby hoping to call away from his neighbor the wrath of the deity, and turn It upon himself. In the engraving of Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper," the engraver has represented Judas Iscarlot as having overturned the salt cellar, but, according to good authority, the salt cellar Is not overturned In Da Vinci's painting--this being merely an interpolation made by Raphael Morghen, the original engraver of the plate.-- Exchange.

Painful experience bad taught those whlppers-out that haphazard grabs at elusive animals were futile, so they armed themselves with* formidable dog-tongs for holding them at arm's length. There la a set of these tongs preserved at Bangor cathedral, where, as befits such a curiosity, they are kept In a glass case. They are strongly made of oak, and when fully extended --they are collapsible, like a movable telephone arm--are about three feet in length.. At the "business end" there are formidable teeth, cruel teeth to modern ideas, for getting a good grip on struggling dogs. A Carnarvonshire set Is dated as late as 181S.
