toIcad him, and in the cas- of scout
ing, how to train the boys to lead
themselves. Mr.. Bordman insisted
that leaders are made as well as born
and proceeded to give specific exam
pies of this theory and showed why
boys only Fan properly lead boys. But
the man must get behind the boy
help and encourage him. and the boy
will find out the proper way to lead
his companions. II IS by working on
their major interests that the youth
can be developed along these lines,
Mr.. Bordman pointed out.

NO ACTION ON
LIQUOR LICENSES
Uncertainty of Excise Boards
Situation to Saloons Which
Paid for Licenses.

Nine pool licenses were granted
by the Board of Excise Commission
ers at their meeting in city hall last
night. Hanley & Beck, of 166 Smith
street. were granted licenses for six
tables. licenses for two tables were
issued TO Steve Albam of 26O Wash
ington street and Alex Maciorowsky.
of 266 Hall avenue, license for one
table.
Owing to the uncertainty of the ex-
else boards situation with reference
to the saloons which paid for licenses
no action is being taken at any of the
meetings with regards to the liquor
question. If the places which are for
merly saloons are now selling only
non-fntoxicants no license Is neces-
sary, according to the general version
the Excise Board will not return
any of the license money until It has
received official notification to that
effect. The whole matter is now
being held in allegiance and the mat
ter of pool licenses is the only thing
which comes before them at their
meetings.
