ANCIENT LOCKS ARE FEATURED IN MUSEUM EXHIBIT 'jr. r-•••-- An assemblage .of ancient locks many ..of which were once in the possession, of such notables as C a t h e r i n e the Great of Russia, whose "Czarist knickknacks" were sold by the Soviet Government for $20 went on display in Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry earlier this month. The exhibit represents twenty centuries in tlie history and mystery of locks. It contains more than 2,000 pieces, of which 232 are locks, each with an unusual pedigree, bther features include jewel boxes and treasure chests. One of the jewel boxes is the very same one from which Queen Isabella, of Spain, financed the exploration voyage on which Christopher Columbus discovered the New World. Etchings on the inside of the box depict the Queen, King Ferdinand, a n d members of their court. Another colorful exhibit is an 18th century Indian temple padlbck originally used on a chest containing temple funds. Made of gold, silver and brass, the lock is in the form of a Hindu gpd. The oldest lock of record in the collection is an ancient Egyptian lock dating back to the days of Cleopatrtr^hnd considered to be the earliest known example o£ the pintumbler principle. Dating back to the Romans is a set of household keys. On. a wedding (lav the groom gave the keys to his bride to carry. He kept only two: the key to ancUtbe frontdoor key. This massive key, often two feet long and weighing as much as ten pounds, was chained to a slave who in turn was chained to the entrance. The slave used the keys as a weapon againsl intruders. Such door slaves bore the name "Janitrex," from which came our own word "janitor." The less a person knows, the more anxious he is to tell all Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of July 18, 1911 Among the many improvements that have been made in the village during the past year, there is none that has been more noticeable than the remodeling and rebuilding of the old Gilbert block on the West Side, which was accomplished through the expenditure of about $3,000 by the presenf owner, Theo Schissle. The-west' side of the first floor is occupied by a first class buffet conducted by the owner of the building while the east portion of the first floor is occupied by the Reliable Tea and Coffee store. The second floor is divided into two flats, the west rooms being occupied by the Sch'iessle family and the east by the proprietor of the Tea and Coffee store, F. B. Donlittle and family. A S200 pearl was 1aken frorn a clam fished out of Fox river, near this village, one day last week. Clams are very abundant in Fox river in this vicinity. and no doubt there are thousands of dollars worlh of pearls to be found if our people would'only get the habit of pearl hunting.

FORTY YEARS AGO Taken from the Files of July 7, 1931 Within an hour after a bolt of lightning had struck the barn on the Joseph P. Diedrich farm, six miles east of McHenry and one mile east of Voio, Monday evening of this week, the barn, house and wood silo, together with much of their contents, lay a mass of ruins.
