of a displacement of the metatarsal

moved. Her physician appealed to the
mayor Of Lincoln. The mayor referred
him to the police department. The
police had no patrol to spare. The
boy scout troop then volunteered. For
a whole week, night and day, twelve
boys patrolled the street cautioning
and detouring all trific and maintained
absolute quiet around the sick woman's
house. 1t was hard work and uninter-
esting work. 1t required infinite pa.
thence and tact. But Mrs. Gardner's
life was saved.
What is true Of the boy scouts is
true in general. Boys take just as
much pride in doing good deeds as in
doing bad deeds, but they must be doing
something. Idleness is the most irksome
thing in the world to an active young
boy. A boys sympathy is easier TO
arouse and he is much less selfish and
worldly than d%isillusioned grownups.
Boys are the same through the ages and
the boys of this age are going to make
just as good or better men than their
fathers If we give them a chance. The
boys at Lincoln certainly made the
mayor and the police department look
pretty cheap.

PAY REDUCTIONS NOT
 APPROVED BY BOARD
R. R. Labor Commission Rules Against Action of
 A. B. & A. Road.

Chicago, April 21.-The railroad labor board today ruled that the re- ceiver of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad in reducing wages of its employees in compliance with a decision by Federal Judge S. IT. Sibley had acted in violation of the spirit and letter of the transpor- attion act.
 The board declared that it was powerIess to take action in the case at present and suggested that the employees, most of whom now are on affike. again hold conferences. with the owners and, if an agreement is nH reached. bring the case back to the labor board. s.-The duty to obey a decision of this board is not any less an obliga- ton on the receivers of road than on the sovnera of a road" the de- cision said. 6
 The case first came before the board last January when the road posted notices of wage reductions. The board ordered the notices with drawn and told the employers to con fer with their workers. When the case again came up 1t was brought out that the road did not contest the justness of the wages set by the board but pleaded only inability to pay. The board rules that financial conditions of the road was not a mat ter for 1t to act upon.
 Subsequently the road went into the hands of a receiver and Judge Sibley authorized the wage reduc- ,tions. A strike then was called on the line.
 The decision today said that the board believed that a misunderstand- ing had caused the federal court to authorize the reductions instead of sending the case back to the labor board

ROTARIANS ARE GIVEN PASSWORD TO SUCCESS 4 Work and Do It With a
 Win," Henderson Tells Audience.

Tt is not how much we take out of life but 1t is how little we put in, that really makes life worth while was the keynote of a talk given by Thomas F. l.. Henderson of Lasalle Extension university before the mem- bers and guests of the Rotary club at their noon hour luncheon in the Elks' Grill today. MT. Henderson also dwelt on the subject of constructive thinking and how success comes to those who are willing to pay the price.
 In effect. he said that anyone can have success if willing to work and pay the price for it. Tn almost every case one finds that this is the final analysis for success. The trouble with the majority of the working speople today, and one of the great reasons for the industrial depression 5fn the world, is that men are not intsrested in the things they are doing.u It is the case with thousands of people. they are living from day to day with no thought of the morrow, hating to get up in tho morning with the thought of working at the regular grind during the day, and in general are not satisfied with life.
 In order to get along person must have one element that makes life worth while. 'Get behind the thing or position you are holding Fand do your utmost to please" was MT. Hen derson.s maxim. a.*
 ''I admit that all of the work tha. we do is done with our fiveyHhysical senses. That is why it is clainHbd that with power ono can do anything. But let me tell you that there is more than power. Another great sfeaturu is desire. If one man came to mo: with power and no desire, and another with desire and no power, which. do you think would pick out? Natur-, ally the man with the desire, but even so power plus desire is not complete. The greatest thing of all is win pow er." the speaker said.
 : Following the talk by MT. Hender- son, Leon Spragne, president of the club, announced chat the mSetiiSe on next week will be held ThursdayR eve ming Instead of at noon tirneS 1t Is possible that Willard Lansing W51l be present to present the Rotaryss club with it's charter which has .reEently arrived. The speaker will be Thomas l.. Reilly and the meeting will begin at 6.3O o'clock. Previous to the talk today Dave Young entertainedkswith several Scotch songs and selections while J. Miller rendered bagpipe se- 1ections.
 Fred Rackliffe, secretary of the orr ganization also reported that he had heard from Congressman E.. Hart Tenn who wished to assure the mem bers of the New Britain Rotary club that he would do all in his power to aid the building of an addition to the local postoff1ce.

 Manuscript.

Philadelphia. April 21.-A detailed description of the method used in decoding the cipher used by Roger Bacon. the 18th century philosopher monk. fin writing an Soo,0o0 word manuscript. now the property of. Will frid M. yoynich of New York and London, was given here today before the American Philosophical society by Prof. William Romaine Newbold of the University of Pennsylvania.
 As result of the revelations made by deciphering the manuscript. scien- lists have declared Bacon had re- markable knowledge of mathematical physics as conceived today. The manuscript proves, 1t Is maintained, that the Franciscan friar used both the telescope and the microscope. Proof of it's authenticity was submitted last night by Dr. Newbold before the college of physicians and surgeons when he announced he had deci- .phered Bacon's name on the last page.
 Tn his address today Dr. Newbold pointed out that Bacon was obliged. because of the age In which he lived, to devise a cipher which not only would be difficult to read but which no one would suspect of being a ci- pher. E
 Bacon conceived the idea of ex- pressing every letter of a word which he wanted to write in cipher by a sylla- ble and building the syllable into new word." he said. For example if the
