RAIL LABOR BOARD
DENIES OVERTIME
Declares Conditions Prevent
Grant to Maintenance
Employees.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 2.-The United
States Railroad Labor Board, in a
decision yesterday, denied punitive
overtime for the ninth and stenth
hour TO the maintenance of way en-
ployes.
At the same time the board granted
tine-and-one-half on the minute
basis for work in excess of eight
hours to shop and roundhouse en-
ployes represented by the United
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
Employees and Shop Laborers.
The decision specifies 20 railroads
and their subsidiaries named by the
brotherhood in a nationwide move
ment for pnitive overtime. The
principle effects employees represent
ed by the brotherhood on all roads
in the United States.
The brotherhood contended that
"if We are to have a real eight
hour day." according to the principle
previously affirmed by the board, cit
must be protected by penalty rules,
otherwise it is meaningless" 1t al
legged that under present rules "em-
ployes have 10-hour day when it
suits the fancy Of some carrier"
Under this contention the Board
ruled:
Due to the inability to procure
men and to other reasons, such time
in excess of eight hours a day can
be considered unavoidable from the
standpoint of continuous and efficient
operation of the railroads. The ap-
plication of punitive overtime cannot
correct this condition. 1t is a situa-
ton that cannot be controlled by the
carriers, hence it does not seem just
that they should be penalized."

STRICT LICENSING
TO AID MOTORISTS
Safety Conference to Recon-
mend Legislation to Curb
Accidents.

Strict application of the motor We
hicle licensing laws, Immediate sus-
pension of drivers license and i'm
pounding of vehicles when motor We
hicle laws are viola ted and damage
results are among the outstanding
expcdients for checking traffic acci-
dents recommended by the committee
on insurance of the National Confer
ence on Street and Highway Safety,
which will meet December Is at the
call Of Secretary of Commerce Hoover.
The report of the committee, made
public today, points out. that insur-
ance companies, pioneers in accident
prevention work, are extending their
efforts through safety campaigns, in
spection service and along other lines.
Concentrating its studies on acci-
dent prevention, the committee made
the following recommendations:
That insurance companies be urged
TO keep a detailed and clearly or
ganized record of street and highway
accidents, according to causes, loca-
ton and other controlling factors,
and to seek through cooperative in
fiuence to bring about the develop
ment and adoption of uniform stand
ard forms for the recording of such
Information.
That they cooperate in impressing
on owners of fleets of commercial
vehicles the desirability of safe
drivers schools
That the insurance companies be
encouraged as far as practicable to
adopt the practice of making period
ical inspections as to the conditions
of automobiles insured by them, with
particular attention to brake adjust
Int
anism and lighting equipment.
That all of the States should adopt
the principle of certification and
registration of automobile titles as
one of the most important and effec-
tive means of reducing thefts-a
prolific cause of accidents. That leg
islation should be uniform and
should contain adequate provision
for enforcement and proper penalties
That there should be enactment by
the States of:
(a) A law with respect to motor
vehicles to provide that when any
motor vehicle is operated in violation
of the provisions of the general
motor vehicle law and negligently
and carelessly, and any person is
thereby injured in person or prop
erty, the license of driver or owner
S0OulQ DC lllIIleuldtely suspended duu
lin the pepper instances revoked
and:
(b) A law with respect to motor
vehicles to provide that when any
motor vehicle Is operated in violation
of the provisions of the general motor
vehicle law and negligently or care
lessly, and any person is thereby in
jured in person or property, such
motor vehicle shall be impounded.'

IDEAL LIFE FOR BOY.
DESCRIBED BY EXPERT
Barclay Tells of Best Health Prac-
tices as Revealed by Re-
cent Survey.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 2.-The daily
life of the 11-year-old, as portrayed
by Lorne w. Barclay, Valparaiso,
Ind, vice president of the Childr en- s
Foundation, in his speech yesterday
before the International Boys Work
Conference here. showed that the
healthiest lad of this age rises at
7:05 am, retires at 1865 pm, drinks
IA glasses of milk daily, brushes his
teeth five out of seven days each
week and visits the dentist once in
two years.
Mr.. Barclay based his statement
on a survey recently completed by
the foundation.
Ohio, psychologist and boy worker,
in another address stressed the need
of the influence of both parents to
bring about the boys fullest
development, saying the absence of
one parent tremendously handicaps
the boy or girl, not only in a mega
tive way through failing to provide
all the influences needed, but also
by developing a spirit of resentment
because of his or her inferiority in
this respect over more fortunate in
dividuals who have both parents.
Mr.. Barclays address centered
around the boys health, while DR..
Williams theme involved delinquency
and it's causes.

fort. Once comfort is obtained and
the man or woman relaxes, advance
stops and deterioration starts.
"All idleness or neglect of poten-
tialities. including those of the mind.
is pernicious." DR.. Hrdlicka said. AL
ways the object of striving, it defeats
its own purposes.
The theory that the nobility of some
countries, ranking as they do in every
way superior to the common people,
may consist of superior race is a
fallacy, he said. The difference is the
same as that between we'll fed pet
cat and an alley cat.
Inheritance of Strength.
Whether acquired characteristics,
such as great physical strength. can
be inherited is still open to doubt, DR..
Hrdlicka said. although there is some
evidence to indicate that they can.
For instance, in Europe there will be
whole families of blacksmiths with
bulging muscles. AS a rule, however,
these characteristics vanish with the
death of the owner.
Every part of the body is capable
of development, DR.. Hrdlicka said. and
when there is a better scientific
knowledge Of the best forms of phys
ical and mental development man will
be in position to take another step
forward in evolution toward a sort of
superman-an average individual su-
perior to any except occasional super
individuals now living.

FLORIDAN INDICTED
FOR KILLING IN HOME
Alleged Slayer of Former Gov.
ernor's Nephew Faces Muir
der Charge.

ORLANDO, Fla, December 2.-An
indictment charging murder in the
second degree was returned against
Hal Cady, under arrest in connection
with the killing of n. B. Broward,
nephew of former Gov. Broward, who
was found shot to death in the Cady
home here about two weeks ago.
Interest in the grand jurys inquiry.
which started yesterday. was centered
in Mrs. Cady, who awaited her turn
to be called along with other wit
Eesses in the anteroom. The wound
in her shoulder, received at the time
of the shooting of Broward, appar-
emily gave no trouble, as all evil
denceS of it were concealed by the
collar of her coat.
The same witnesses were heard to-
day who testified at the coroner's in
quest. After the last witness had
testified today the sheriff and several
deputies carried in the material evil
dence, which was contained in several
jugs and bottles.

DECLARES COUNTRY
BAS|CALLY SOUND
Attorney Leahy Sees U. S.
Constitution Safeguarded
by Voters at Polls.

The recent election proved the
country to be basically sound and the
return of President Coolidge to office
is a guarantee that the fundamental
or organic law of the land will be
protected, declared William f. Leahy,
local attorney, in an address on the
Constitution before members of the
Newcomers Club at its weekly meet
ing in the City Club yesterday.
Picturing the chaos that prevailed
in the 13 original States prior to the
adoption of the mighty instrument"
by the constitutional convention at
Philadelphia in 1887 and explaining
the various amendments added since
it's birth, Mr.. Leahy made an ardent
plea with his auditors to do all in
their power to help preserve it in it's
entirety.
He deplored the actions of those
who would destroy the power Of the
Supreme Court, and said that should
their attempts ever prove successful
it would wreck the structure upon
which the Government is built, result
in the abandonment of law and order,
and pave the way for a reign Of an
archy and ruin.
1t was a forlorn group of delegates
that responded to the call at Phila-
delphia to discuss ways and means of
preserving the country from foreign
invasion and establishing public or
der and tranquility at home, he said.
But those who did attend that con-
clave," continued the lawyer, "were
patriots of the highest order, and when,
after ceaseless labor and untiring eff
forts, they did adjourn they had pre-
pared an instrument for all future gen.
erations, q document which, if safe
guarded and strictly adhered to, will
guarantee to the people of America a
liberty and freedom such as no nation
on earth has ever enjoyed
Mr.. Leahy decried attempts by GER
tain Americans who would apologize
for the Revolutionary War.
Joseph A. Burkart presided, and after
announcing election of officers for the
club would be held next Monday, Karl
Gooseman, chairman of the nominating
committee, presented the following
slate; Charles w. Pimper, president;
Gen. Anton Stephan. first vice presi-
dent; Adolph Schippert, second vice
president, and Edward Tyler, treasurer.
DR.. James E. Wolfe, L. Pierce Boteler,
c. E. Fleming, Col. Charles r. Stark,
jr., George P. Killian and James B.
Locraft were named to serve on the ex-
ecutive committee. Mr.. Burkart will be

1886 Damage Suit
ReUiUes Memory
OF Old Horse Car

The days of the horse drawn
street car are recalled in a decision
today of the District Supreme
Court refusing to revive a suit
filed March 6, 1856, by Charles w.
Straughan against the Metropoli-
tan Railroad Company, which then
operated the + street line with
horse cars. A car collided with Il
horse and wagon driven by the
plaintiff February 20, 1886, and he
was injured.
In April, 1883, the case was dis
missed for want of prosecution
and a motion to reinstate denied
bye the court May !, 1888. Thirty
five years later. on March 90, 1928,
the plaintiff sought to reopen the
case, but was denied by the Dis
trict Supreme Court, from which
action he noted an appeal. The
appellate court holds that the rem
edy sought by Straughan is fore
closed by lapse of time and denied
the appeal.

The head of an adult human being
may become continually larger with in
tense mental activity, DIR. Ales
Hrdlicka, anthropologst of the Smith
sonian Institution. said in lecture at
the New National Museum yesterday
afternoon.
DR.. Hrdlicka exhibited casts of two
brains-one of a scientist and the other
Of a laborer-to illustrate the physical
changes produced by continuous and
profound thinking. In life the laborer
was a slightly larger man, yet the brain
was noticeably smaller. In the former
the folds and convolutions in the brain
matter were very simple, while in the
brain of the scholar these assumed
complex forms.
The particular form Of activity fol-
lowed during life, the lecturer showed,
has such a profound effect on the bones
of the body that it would often be pos
sble from a single bone to tell much
of the life history of the skeleton. For
example a pronounced forward curva-
ture Of the spine might indicate an
elderly person who had spent a lifetime
over a desk. A funnel shaped breast,
or the bending of the breastbone in
ward. might indicate a shoemaker or
person of similar occupation. Leg
bones bent inward would indicate a
horseman. The differences between the
hand of carpenter and musician are
we'll known, differing more in breadth
than in length.
Myth of Lower Jaw.
That a strong, prominent lower jaw
indicates a fighter or man of strong
character is complete fallacy, DIR.
Hrdlicka said. 1t merely means that
the owner is probably stronger physi-
y l., q
and has no mental significance what
ever. DR.. Hrdlicka said that Napoleon,
for instance, had a rather weak lower
Jaw, despite the fact that he was one
of the greatest fighters and intellects
in history.
There is no such thing as an &C
tually receding jaw, he said, although
there may be some superficial indica-
tions of such a condition. Examtna-
tion of skeletal remains shows that
every human lower projects forward
A pronounced projection often IL
only evidence that a good many OF
the lower teeth have been lost and
the gums improperly cared for. Thus
some older persons develop very pro-
nounced or lantern jaws.
Changes in Tibia.
The tibia or larger leg bone below
the knee, starting in practically all
individuals as a triangular shaped
bone, may assume any one of six diff
ferent shapes in adults, dependent on
occupation, DR.. Hrdlicka showed. The
fbula or smaller leg bone also has
| six variations. The shoulder blade
has three pronounced variations. de-
pending on the degree of activity OF
| the subject.
Study of bone and bodily changes
due to muscular exertions leads, DR.
Hrdlicka said. to this general law:
All parts Of the body. including the
| brain, will be differentiated to great
| err efficiency according to and in pro-
portion to the work they are sub
jected to, so long as the work Is kept
| in normal limits and does not exec ed
the powers Of recuperation or replen-
ishment of reserve materials.
Cannot Stand Comfort.
The practical lesson Of this law
said tho lecturer. Is that the human
race cannot stand idleness~ or com
