Boys Work Committee of RO-
tary Club Makes Report.

R. R. Gilbert and Rev. Charles A
Shilke represented the local Rotary
Club at the fifth annual International
Boys Work Council, held in the Ward
man Park Hotel, Washington, d. c.,
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
December 10, II and II.
The Council is made up of represen-
tatives of agencies in the world that
are dealing with the problems of the
boy. About $50 we've present at this
conference.
Addresses were made by juvenile
judges, probation officers, university
professors and leaders, dealing with
the needs of the boy of today. Find
ing and training leaders, the relation
of the boys spare time to the courts,
vagrancy, delinquency, child labor, in
dustrial education and the kindred
problems of the rural boy were all
presented to the council in an inter-
esting manner.
Boys work was divided into three
classes: the over privileged boy, who
has all the money he can spend, is
killed with kindness and seems to have
no thought of responsibility; the av-
erage boy; and the privileged
boy who finds himself without an OPP
portunity. The boys agencies are at
tempting to help the boys of all these
classes, and more especially those of
the last class.
Separate sessions to plan their work
were held by the Boy Rangers of Am
erica, the Boy Scouts, the Salvation
Army, the Boys Life Bureau of the X.
o. c., the Antlers of the Elks, the Ro-
tary and Kiwanis Clubs.
National Boys Week will be held
this year from April 81 to May 4,
with something of special interest to
the boys designated for each day Of
the week.
The committee of the local Rotary
Club hopes to stimulate work among
the boys of the town and county. The
success of the future lies in the hands
of the boys of today.

Hardinge, 61, millionaire Chi- cago manufacturer. last Saturday. may have it's aftermath in court. At- torney Emil G. Wetten said, If . satisfactory settlement cannot be reached at a conference of lawyers today.
 Unless Hardinge agrees to settle for s20o,o0o, Wetten, attorney for Miss Livingston, said a suit for heart balm would be filed in court.
 Miss Livingston. is broken heart cd and deeply humiliatcd.' the at- torncy said. Two diamond rings and q packet of love letters from Hard- inge, are her only consolation. he added.
 Tn reason the wedding did not take place was asserted to have been failure to reach a satisfactory pre- nuptial financial agreement, when Miss Livingston refused to sign a . contract waiying hr rights to the Hardinge fortune. IL was reported that she was to have received $100.- 900 on the death Of Hardinge.
 Both principals were out of the city yesterday
 Relatives of the manufacturer said Hardinge asked Miss Livingston 10 sign a prenuptial agreement to test her love.
 The romance, they declared. be- gan last summer when the couple met on the observation platform of q train. A sister of Hardinse said that the prospective bride lis the s9me q ge as MT. Hardinge's daugh- ter, but there is Q tremendous dif- ference in the cultural background or the two girls, and it is apparent Miss Liptngston would not find her new, aSaotiates entirely congenial."
 The sister also Iinted that Miss Livingston might have had an utter for motive in wanting to marry Hardinge. "The fact that she had a lawyer engaged beforehand looks suspicious. and had she really been in love with my brother. the money agreement would not have infiu- cnced her"
