REMINGTON NEWS

Justice of the Peace E. Stanley Welles fined David Peterson, electri- contractor of Broad street, Hartford, $5 and costs and remitted the fine in town court last night. Peterson was charged with violation of the building code. He was notified to appear after Building Inspector Dwight M. Chichester had asked Constable Raymond Halleran to make the arrest because of apparent refusal to take out a permit for cleo trical work at house on Broadview street, Maple Hill. Peterson pleaded ignorance of the building code and of the fact that there was an in- spector in town although he lived in Maple Hill at one time and wired two houses here within the past six months MT. Chichester also claim ed that some of the work was done imperfectly. To this Peterson re- piled that since the builders were rushing the construction and wanted to work nights, he had put in the wiring with the idea that 1t would only be temporary. Judge Welles fined Peterson and remitted the fine on the condition that the work be corrected within one week as agreed. Peterson then took out a permit.
 Mir. Chichester said that this is the first time he had ever experienced such a case. Judge Welles stated that in his opinion. the town was in debted to MT. Chichester for his alertness in following up such cases. MT. Chichester is the first building inspector the town has ever had and since he has held the position, there has beer a marked improvement in the type of house and quality of workmanship in these buildings. due largely to his efforts. In the opinion of Judge Welles, the town has &C., quired a reputation for efficiency in such matters which is far above that of most towns of the same size.

ASSERTS BEST
CORN HAS NOW
Been PRODUCED
P. J. Lux, Shelby County,
Worlds Champion,
Tells Why.

BIZ UNited Press
GREENSBURG, Ind, Nov. 25.-
The worlds best ear of corn has
been produced, in the opinion Of
Peter j. Lux, Shelby County, the
present and three-time Information
al Corn King. "We will never have
corn quite as good as in the past"
Lux told farmers here recently, "be-
cause diseases, such as the corn
borer are creeping into the fields,
and also because the soil now lacks
some of the elements that formerly
developed and matured the ears"
Advice on Seed
Lug explained that it takes more
than a year to produce prize win
ming ear of corn. "For the best re-
suits seed corn must be carefully
selected from ripe ears on green
stalks of healthy corn" he said.
"In picking seed, farmers have for
years been selected ripe ears from
ripe stalks This is wrong. In one
case where corn from dry stalks and
from green stalks was planted on
the same kind of soil and under the
same conditions 80 per cent of the
crop from the dry stalks was found
to be diseased while only one-half
of one per cent of the crop from
the green stalks was damaged"
Opposes Intensive Care
Intensive cultivation is not good
for the corn crop, Lux said. 1t harms
the root system so that the corn
will not go down for moisture and
thereby will not secure the elements
necessary to produce a good ear. Too
much cultivation is worse thar none.
1.-THE corn borer is a real menace"
Lux declared. IF the farmers ever
cooperate in anything, it viii 4be

BEAUTY SHOP Z0NING
CASE IS DISMISSED
on Door Mat Not Illegal
Advertising, Rules
Judge Hit.

Judge Isaac r. Hit in Police Court
today dismissed the charge of violating
the District Zoning law regarding the
conducting of beauty parlOrs in resi-
Dental areas against Mrs Florence
Johnson of 1908 Buchanan street.
The court ruled that it was of the
opinion that a door mat bearing the
name "F'lorence's" and the adver-
Using of a removal did not constitute
advertising as meant in the regulation
prohibiting it in such cases.
The judge was also Of the opinion
that Miss Irene Degges, who treated
Mrs. Juanita Whitney and Miss Alice
Barrett. policewomen, during their
visits to the premises, was not an en-
ploye of Mrs. Johnson. He took the
testimony OF Mrs. Johnson that the
girl was rooming in the house and
merely helped out at various times.
The fact that she sold box of powder
was excused on the grounds that the
girl did it without the knowledge of
Mrs. Johnson, and was unaware that
she was violating the law.
Mrs. Johnson was arrested last Sat
urday by Policeman +. G.. Rhue Of the
tenth precinct, upon the complaint of
the two members of the Women's Blu
reau.

REDFERN'S FLIGHT
AWAITS BAROGRAPH
Aviator Also Lacks Para
chute for Hop to South
America.

BRUNSWICK. Ga. August IL
Paul Redfern hopes to have big news
soon" for the newspaper men gath
cred here to chronicle his take-off on
projected 4,600-mile nonstop flight
to Brazil.
The aviator made this statement
while awaiting a Paragraph. a para
chute and favorable weather reports
before taking his monoplane, Port of
Brunswick, into the air and southwark
over the jungle land of South America.
A telegram from Washington last
night suggested that he go there to
confer with Weather Bureau officials
on maps and data. but the flyer stated
this would not be possible. The de-
partment had already informed him
that weather information south Of the
Island of Trinidad was not available,
but the young aviator declared his in
tention of flying without such advance
information if necessary.
Promise Of cooperation on the part
Of the Brazilian government, however.
partially dispelled doubts and fears for
his safety il he should fly unwarned
into tropical storm.
Meanwhile efforts were being made
to obtain a Paragraph. without which
the fight would not be officially rec
ognized. An Army Paragraph cannot
be made availabl for this kind Of voy-
age, it was believed. and efforts to OBJ
tain one from other quarters were
started.
Relief from the monotony and grind
of the long flight was sought in the
installation of double controls, allow
ing the flyer to manipulate the con-
trolls from either side OF the airplane.
A wicker chair was installed to pro-
vide comfort.
Redferns rubber lifeboat was tested
for 80 minutes in the sea here yester-
day and found in perfect condition.
