OMAHA, Oct. II. - Authorities

marks in his cheek, put there by Miss

ing girls in q public park. They were
sent to the reform school.
Miss Hood said she was stopped
by man near her home about Il
o'clock. He had a gun and ordered
her into a car.
Now you are going TO pay for
sending our friends TO the detention
home last week. the man said, adding
but You will never tell any one what
we do TO YOU, Miss Hood declared.
Fifteen miles from Omaha he or
dered me out, tore ut my clothing and
tried to kiss me. | fought him off as
best could and bit him on the cheek,
but he was too big and strong.
Finally he knocked me down and
walked over to the car. BY this time
n second car caught up with us and as
the men got out | jumped into some
bushes. They followed but / wadcd a
creek almost neck deep and worked
my way across and got away from
them"
Miss Hood said that after she es-
capped from her captors, she fell into z
ravine where she lost consciousness
until the rain revived her. She made
her way to the highway where she,
was picked up by passing motorist.

ROME, Oct. Acknowledgements
of primary importance to archaeology
are announced by the Italian scholars
who have been excavating on the site
of the ancient Greek colonial city OF
Cyrene on the North African coast
between the modem cities of Benzia
and Derna. The excavators say they
have proved that the famous temple
of Apollo, the main temple of Cyrene
when it was among the fairest OF
Mediterranean countries in the sixth
and fifth centuries b. c., was original
ly built by the Greeks about 600 b. e..
This proof was taken from q
stratum of earth alongside the ruins OF
the temples sub-structure, in which
the excavators found works of art
dating as far back as 100 B. c.. and
believed of Libyan origin. Many of
these art pieces are said to be price
less.
FIND FRESCOES.
The discoveries also found elaborate
frescoes in red and blue terra Gotta
and marble columns in a perfect state
of preservation. They found that the
temple of Apollo had been partly de-
stroyed by fire in the last century be-
fore Christ. and that in the recon-
structed edifice many new features

SPEAKER TELLS OF
 THE THREE SIGNS
Father and Son Day at New
 Britain Rotary Club

Three signs were the subject of discussion at the meeting of the New Britain Rotary club today by Dr. Jamos l.. McConaughY president of Wesleyan university and former dis trict president Of the i1st Rotary district in the middle west. It was Father and Son Day and many of the members had their own or somebody else's son with them.
 In opening his address, Dr. Me Conaughy commented upon the fact that most men and boys like to wear some insignia and that the highways into New Britain have all sorts of signs, including traffic signs. etc.
 We depend a great deal on signs" he said.
 He said fin town in Maine he saw sign, which, while not intended for any other purpose than that of assistance 10 motorists and teams, was n sermon in itself. There was a sandy road and two deep ruts had been worn into 1t. When a team or car going one direction met someone going the opposite direction it was almost impossible 10 pass. The se- 'ltctmen in the town put up a sign, Don't drive in the rut--use the whole road"
 This, the speaker said, was a good sign for boy to follow. "A rut is nothing but grave, open at both cnds," he declared. "The business man who has no concern for the way his competitor is doing bus- ness, or for changes in his own busi- ness, is headed, not for a rut but for a grave. In Texas during a round up the best steers always are found on the outside of the herd"
 Two or three ruts that boys and men often fall into, according to the speaker include the feeling that "wc are the best, the others don't count"
 If we think we are. better than the man whose ancestors were born across the water, we are making q mistake and falling into the rut of disdainful superiority. A Chinaman makes as good a Rotarian as an American," he said.
 The second sign he said he saw on little sandpapor factory in Massachusetts,: If it has grit in ii, we make it." He likencd this sign to the group of boys who say, "Ii it is hard thing to do, we boys will do it." lie said boys and men should take the same motto as the American engineers who dug the Panama canal after the French had failed. They said, Got any rivers that are uncrossable? Got any mountains you cant tunnel through We specialize on the wholly impos. siblc, doing things no man can do.
 "I don't care for. the namhy pamby boy who is all the time be- ing babied and neither do you"
 The third sign the speaker re- ferred to was seen on q gravcstone in a Vermont cemetery: Here lies one who did his work-held hi: peace and no fear to die"
 President Frank IT, Shield an nounced that the annual shad din. ncr at the home Of R. c. Clark al East Berlin was postponed from May l4 10 the 21st Next Thursday the program will be in charge ot the manufacturers and will be 8 surprise program.
 Among the guests was William Crosby the Stanley Works agent in Lima, Peru.
