SMITH ' fhone 657-R-l The second special legislative session of the Illinois general assembly was enlivened by debate in the house and senate when it reconvened a few days ago after a week's enforced vacation. Many expected the gathering to pass into history within a few days after its opening. Chicago traction legislation has been laid on the shelf, save for the passage of a bill naming a committee of 30 members to make a study of the problem and report at the next regular session. The gasoline refund is also hanging in the balance and will no doubt be lost in the shuffle. The gavel may fall in both the house and the senate without final action and the $6,800,000 in the state treasury will continue to dumber until another regular session rolls around. House members paved the way for early adjournment when they voted to postpone consideration of the Chicago traction bills Indefinitely, thus erasing them from the calendar. A state-wide quarantine order and promulgation of rabies control regulations to become effective throughout Illinois is In prospect unless the rabies situation shows improvement promptly, according to Dr. Isaac D. Rawllngs, director of the state department of health, and the director of agriculture, Stlllman J. Stanard, In conference a few days ago. In vi'ew of the alarming situation known to exist in many sections of the state, it has become apparent to state officials* that efforts that have been put forth in various communities are not giving the required protection against the spread of rabies. Reports continue to arrive from all parts of IHinois of rabid dogs attacking citizens and live stock. .Heads amputated from dogs which peace officers kill upon suspicion and rubmlt to laboratories of the public health department for rabies determination tests, with but few exceptions, reveal the positive indications of this dread disease. War outstanding activities (he pictures of eight students appear In the 1029 Illini, yearbook at the University of Illinois, and are acclaimed as the most representative students of the present academic year.

One is a white woman and the other is a negress. Mrs. Samantha Rover Button of West McHenry, 111., now ninety-six years old, gave her sixteen- year-old boy, Private Clinton D. Rover of Company H, Eighth Illinois cavalry, to her country in 1864, and he died of fever four months later in Camp Relief hospital near Washington. Mrs. Button was born December 12, 1831, at Fairfield, Ohio. Samantha Farrer, a former slave of the Old South, and now living at Athens, Ala., is the other war mother. Dedication at Elmwood of the statue, "The Pioneers," a work of the noted sculptor, Lorado Taft, took place a few weeks ago. R. E. Hieronymus, community adviser of the University of Illinois, and Mr. Taft spoke at the unveiling ceremonies. The unveiling proper was carried out by Miss Emily Taft and Mrs. Marian Brown Pollita. Mayor S. R. Fleisher accepted the monument on behalf of the city of Elmwood. A complete program was arranged and in addition to the appearance of Mr. Taft, there was an address on "The Westward March of the Pioneers," by Hamlin Garland, noted short story writer. New York city. A workman, who in the course of his duties, has lost the vision of one eye and has received compensation and while in the game employ, suffers Injury to his other eye, may collect total disability on each injury, Attorney General Oscar E. Oarlstrom has ruled. His opinion was given at the request of William M. Scanlon, chairman of the industrial commission at Chicago. The state division of co-operative crop estimates says that the wheat acreage survey just completed, gleaning information from 6,400 sources, shows that there is scarcely any soft wheat that nirvlved the winter. The emalteat acreage and the poorest out' look for winter wheat on record ft the condition found by this investigation. Loss of winter wheat acreage, through winter killing, is the worst on record. A farm equipment survey, listing information from 6,000 sources, is now under way. Other special and routine schedules and reports Issued during the month of April total 20,000 copies. " Lady Godiva was a reality, Mt a mythical personage, as is frequently believed in this country, and she actually did ride unclad through the streets of her town, is the opinion expressed a few days ago by his worship, Mayor Fred Lee of Coventry, England, who was visiting in the capital city recently. According to the legend this fair Saxon lady rode naked through the streets of Coventry on a white horse and thus removed an oppressive tax laid upon the people. Her long golden hair served as partial covering during the ride, however. Lady Godiva was the wife of Leofric, who, about 1040, was earl of Mercia and lord of Coventry, and her ride was taken in fulfillment of a condition upon which he had promised her to relieve the town of its t^x. Gas H. Radebaugh, state conservation director, has an opinion from Attorney General Oscar E. Carlstrom that a municipality which owns a lake may impose any rules regarding Its use which are reasonable and which at least are as strict as the state statutes. Mr. Carlstrom was asked about the legality of a proposed ordinance for the city of Paris. An accident policy for each employee does not assure payment of compensation by the employer in the event of ininjury, the attorney general ruled for H. W. Willis, security supervisor of the industrial commission. Fixlhg by the state Soard of parole, the time to be served by a prisoner after Bfeatence was pronounced does not, In the opinion of Attorney General Oscar E. Carlstrom, constitute an interference with the court sentence. Hlnton G. Clabaugh asked the attorney general if the parole board had the authority to fix in advance the time to be served by prisoners. "The parole board has the power to release a prisoner on parole," Mr. Carlstrom said, "and I do not know of any provision of law which forbids the board to fix such time of release la advance." Attorney General Oscar E. Carlstrom has given an opinion to State's Attorney H. E. Fullenwlder in which he holds that automobiles of priests, ministers, Salvation army officers and Rescue home officials are subject to taxation. The question was put up to an assessor In Springfield and a ruling was requested by Mr. Fullenwlder. From the office of the president atthe Second Chicago World's fair, Rufus C. Dawes, has come the announcement that $70,000,000 will be expended on the exposition of which one-half will be recovered through admission receipts and rental of exhibition space. The other half will be made up from subscriptions and other sources. The $70,000,000 does not Include the cost of constructing the five large islands in the lake on which many of the most imposing of the buildings are to be erected. The estimate is made that the admissions will total $90,000,000. The trustees of the fair announce that it will open June 1, 1933. The tentative program carries it through the month of November. John 1 McQuerry, elghtyHrtiyea* old Civil war veteran an$ for 21 years a member of the board of supervisors from Rock Ridge township, died at his home near Greenville, a few days ago.

Under the new bill the rate is reduced from 10 cents to 5 cents for each half ounce. As the air* mall is carried on a basts of weight and the average airmail letter weighs less than one-half ounce, It is believed that there will be a decided increase In volume due to the rata decrease. Vigilance on the part of plant Inspectors of the state division of plant Industry during April resulted in the interception of shipments containing nursery stock infested with the oyster shell scale.
