He is graining a wide experience in the business world, his work giving him an insight-into all lines of big business as the company's audits are made in banks, brokerage houses, utilities, industrials and other diversified enterprises. Friends here are always glad to hear from the Fay family, who were residents for more than twenty years in McHenry, where the children were reared and where their success and advancement is noted with- interest. Washington, -- A tightening up of prison parole laws and administration is expected to result from a nation-wide survey of parole problems reaching the fruitful stage, now under direction of Attorney General Camming?. . For months, more than 1,000 attaches of the Department of Justice have been examining into every parole and pardon granted during the last decade. Not only the record of the men and women turned out of prison is being scrutinized but a checkup of the felon after he returns to society is being made. Critics of lax parole administration point to thousands of desperate criminals turned out to resume violent assaults on peaceable citizens as reaching the proportions of a national scandal. Daily, new crimes are committed by confirmed criminals who have either "bought their way t»ut of prison" or been released by tender-hearted officials or by the t e a r s o f s e n t i m e n t a l f r i e n d s a n d relatives of men sent to prison for long terms, records show. All the men on the long list of 'public enemies exterminated or •sent to prison by G-men had imposing prison records, punctuated by from two to three and four paroles, federal investigators point out. Head G-man Hoover is a sworn foe of the parole system as it now exists and never misses an occasion to riddle it with scathing denunciation. He says: "Through the exercise of clemency the law-abiding person becomes all but powerless to escape the predatory actions of vicious human vultures, who are aided and abetted in their careers of destruction by persons swayed by political, sentimental or monetary considerations. It is a national scandal/': Use Hammers to Decide Sobriety of Auto Drivers Denver. -- Hammers and flashlights have been added to the tool kits of Denver's police surgeons-- not for' any safecracking or mechanical activities, but to determine the sobriety of motorists driving on Denver's streets. A rubber-headed hammer is used to test the reflexes of the arms and legs by tappings. The flashlight is turned into the drivers' faces and by turning it on and off the surgeon can discover whether the eyes are dilated. However, the police surgeons will continue to employ their old devices of having the victim walk a straight line, stand on one foot and cross his knee and stand with feet together and eyes closed to determine whether he sways. In these maneuvers the surgeons say the person's gait, rapidity and concentration in walking the line are valuable yardsticks. The Fylfot Cross ^The Fylfot cross is used priocipally in heraldry. It is often spoken of as Thor's Hammer. Thor was a Scandinavian divinity whew represented the god of thunder. His hammer of flyfot shape together with his mallet, were the symbols with which he performed marvelous teats. ^ RmM* co«f«teU« M MytfriafyWia •*« »«a.

As they approached the creature fled and, swinging himself on to an overhanging branch, climbed with remarkable speed and agility to the top of a tree. One shot at him, whereupon the creature crashed to the ground. The foresters found him to be entirely naked, and his body covered with long, thick hair. It was discovered he was actually a farm laborer, who had disappeared many years ago. The ape-man can neither speak nor understand anything when spoken to, «but lets out yells, oi delight when meat and, fruit are placed before him. An fcmwiiw Hospital Probably the most inexpensive hospital ever built in this country was erected in Cleveland during the War of 1812, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Shortly after arriving here with his men in May, 1813, Capt. Stanton Sholes ordered a group of his men to construct a hospital of logs for sick soldiers. According to the captain's own account, the hospital was "30 by 20 feet, smoothly and tightly covered, and floored with chestnut bark, with twp tiers of bunks around the walls, with doors and windows and not a nail, a screw, or iron laich or hinge about the building." Its cost to the government " was a few extra rations^.;:,' * •> • Bad No Doors', ' Persons who like to*Te>t the entire household know of their anger by slamming a door or banging down a window would have had to resort to some other means in the early days. For in the place of the door, most early Ohio pioneers bad only a blanket or animal skin hanging in the opening, 'while in the place of windows witiv panes Of glass they used greased paper pr an old garment. - . Variation of Climate ^ The seasonal variation of Clffiifte outside the tropics is due, to the fact that the earth's axis of rotation is not perpendicular to the plane of its orbit around the sun, but is tilted about 23 degrees out of vertical. Consequently in the course of a year each hemisphere receives alternately more and less sunshine than does the other, *- ' Name Changed There have been famous Cromwells in English history, but at the restoration the name of Cromwell became odious and many bearers of the name made some change so as to disguise it. Mr. Vincent Crummels, in whose company Nicholas Nickelby acted Romeo, was how one man' changed an Illustrious name. Autocracy Autocracy generally disappeared in the Nineteenth century. Among the great European powers, Russia was the last to adhere to it and the title of Autocrat of All the Russias was held by the Czar until the abdication of 1917. . Owe Much to Ancestors "No man," said Hi Ho, the sage of Chinatown, "can fail to respect our ancestors if he will but remember that to0 them we owe some of our noblest thoughts and the, memory of brave deeds;" Where Redwood Trees ffiw" While the Pacific coast is the only place to which redwoods are indigenous, there are a number growing in England. Early English navigators took young trees home and transplanted them successfully. Blackstone Born in Loadeft Blackstone was born in London, July 10, 1723, and died in 1780.

Summer cottages along the river and lakes were all rented for the weekend, with Kent & Company very busy people, getting everyone supplied with a place to sleep. .« - Gerald Carey, Robert Weber and Russell ^Fyfe were members of the finance committee and supplied each booth with change and collected the receipts. On a busy night proceeds were collected during the evening and again at the close of activities. State cops were in evidence about the grounds and patronized the various booths in addition to. being on the lookout for trouble. Everybody was happy and prepared to spend to the limit. They were '"good spenders/' The mouse game was set up and tried out Sunday afternoon. You should have seen the crowd, especially the women, ^catter when the little mouse got away and ran to the corno 'stand for protection. It didn't take long to catch him again. The dust on the carnival grounds got deeper every day and was a menace to white shoes. The bands had pretty tough competition in the music from the merrygo- round, but they played bravely on just the same. Many dollars were spent here for firecrackers over the Fourth.^ Friends from Michigan Who were here stated that a state law prohibited firecrackers in their state. It's not a bad idea. More cities in Illinois are putting a ban on the noisemakers each .year. Woodstock was among the cities to prohibit firecrackers this year. It pays to advertise. Tom Bolger surely did a good job of it and everyone who could read, knew about the carnival. Over 4,000 announcements were sent out, in addition to posters, letters and newspaper "ads." Art Simith had charge of the hot dog stand again and as usual his slogan was "service and satisfaction." The worst pests at the carnival were the miosquitos and bugs which persisted in . hanging around the booths. < Clarence Anglese had a big job checking the ^merchandise. He can tell you just what each booth used and all about it. v Those who had their eye on a blanket stated that they were not as pretty as those of last year. They were furnishfed by a different company this year. Ray Conway had a bunch of attractive ladies assisting him at the miscellaneous booth. Then there was Mrs. Vera Purvey, .chairman of the doll and dog booth, 'Clara Stoffel, blankets, and Ray Page In the electrical booth. Jack Thies was on the job again dispensing soft drinks and ice cream. ">Mac," always popular with the boys, had plenty of help in the milk bottle stand. The athletic shrfw was also a new feature this year and was a real attraction in charge of Frank Schreinef and Mayor Overton. ~ The weather was ideal for the carnival, with only a sprinkle of rain Saturday night, but not enough to send anyone homie. snnre cnovx Famous Men TaUl or Shert, In any list of famous men whose height is known, the majority are found to be either tall or short, seldom average.
