The Board of Education by a vote
OF IL TO 4 adopted the above resolu-
ton in It's meeting Thursday night,
thus putting n quietus for the time
being on Secretary Gadd's plan TO re-
move Albert II. Town, chief clerk OF
the bookroom. to make way for
Charles T. Duffie.
Before the meeting IL became APP
parent that some of the inspectors
counted OH by the Gadd-Duffie faction
were going over TO Town. Ii was
then decided by the secretary not to
bring up the proposed appointment OF
Dufiie. His friends said they wanted
more time to discuss the matter with
the doubtful inspectors.
Inspectors favoring the retention
of Town decided on a flank move
ment by introducing the above reso-
luton to put the board on record on
the matter OF dismissing competent
employees. The following inspectors
voted for the adoption of the resolu-
ton:
Mumford Burton, McMichael. Char
bonneaux, Kennedy. Move, Miehm,
Hely, Ellis, Cary and President Rob
ertson.
Against the resolution-Small, Hun
ter. Jeffries, Condor, Began.
Small changed his vote after the re-
suit had been announced so that IT
was finally recorded in favor OF the
resolution.
Following up their lead, those who
favored the resolution had reconsid-
Grafton indefinitely postponed so that
il cannot be brought up in a subse'
quent meeting.
The resolution while putting the
board on record as opposed to dis
missing competent employe does
not settle the Town-Duffie controvers
sy. II is taken for granted that the
secretary would not recommend the
dismissal of any clerk without giving
as his reason lack of efficiency. The
question then would arise as to the
efficiency Of the man and opinions
might vary entirely from the express
sion on the resolution as adopted
Thursday night.
The board cannot change the rules
with such a resolution, said Secre-
tary Gadd, to The Times. 1T does
not amount TO anything so far as my
the dismissal Of an
employe for just cause is concerned.
] cannot say when | will recommend
the dismissal of Mr.. Town"
Gadd's friends on the board say
they are opposed to Town on the
ground of recent political activity.

Even Boarding Him One Day in the Week Almost Gives Woman
 Nervous Prostratlon.

Ask any fremans wife what day in the week she dreads most, and the chances are she will tell you the day the fire station dog takes his meals at her house, says the Philadelphia Times.
 Not that We don't like the dog. one woman said, but because we have to be so careful about our cook ing. The men at the station where my husband works are afraid to bring Barney up on restaurant food They think he will thrive better on good home cooking. so they take turns at entertaining him.
 "Wednesday is his day here. He comes for all three meals. It is day of anxiety. If make things too rich Bob swears I'll give Barney indiges- ton. If they aren't rich enough he will not be sufficiently nourished. don't mind cooking for Bob nor for any amount of company, my mother in-law included. but fixing things for Barney gets on my nerves.

KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT IT
Modest Appearing Man Proved He Had Right to Critiese Youth

An art student was copying one Of Abbott s. Thayer's paintings at the New York Metropolitan Museum Of Art one day, when a plainly dressed man who looked as if he might be | mechanic approached and, posting himself at the young mans elbow, watched him as he labored over his subject
 You've got the angle of the mouth wrong, and the left eye is too oblique," remarked the man decidedly.
 The student blinked angrily and the hand that wilded the brush trembled slightly, but he took 10 notice of the unsolicited criticism.
 There Is too much yellow in your Mesh tint" continued the man.
 "StIl no reply from the student, who ostentatiously slapped on more yellow in the high light on the nose.
 Did you hear what l said?' ques- toned the man.
 'Yes, heard" responded the stu dent wrathfully, turning and glaring at his modest looking critic. What do you know about it, anyway
 q ought to know something about It." was the smiling response. Tt was who painted the picture.

THE GOOD CITIZEN

We have no man in mind when we say that the individual who seeks to better national affairs and neglects to provide comforts for his family is not a good citizen. Let us fill the state and nation with prudent and provident men; men who care first for their fam flies and second for the nation and we need not fear results. Bosses may come and go; political parties may meet with success or suffer disappointments; revivals may create temporary enthusiasm; the mayor of a city may be puffed up by temporary authority; but the good citizen will bring us through our temporal afflictions, and the good citizen is the one who has a home. .-Cotter Record.

 Most everybody who has attended weddings In this part of town has heard of it." said the officiating eurate. Tt is the custom here to throw wood- en shoes because at some time in her life nearly every bride has worn q pair. For the present generation they were not her Sunday shoes, nor her evening dress shoes, nor even her ey. eryday street shoes, but around the house and maybe to the nearby shops in rainy weather she has clattered around often enough in wooden shoes to justify having a pair thrown at her for old times sake. ."-Boston Herald.

Perfect GAUGES.
The Process of Their Making Is
a Profound Secret.

In a closely guarded room of a small
shop in an obscure Swedish village u
man tolls in secret, says a writer in
Casters Magazine. Just how he ac-
complishes what he does no one knows
not even his sons who work with him.
Johannson has made the world beat
a path TO his door, for he has discov-
cred the secret of making a more ac-
cuTate limit gauge than any previously
in use. A single set of his gauges
gives a practically unlimited series of
sizes, rising by steps of ten-thou-
sandth of an inch-much less than the
traditional hairs breadtL--to twenty
six inches. 1t is said that $4,000 COM
binauons of these gauges are posi-
BILE.
No dimension within their limits has
been cited that they failed to repro
duce. Extreme accuracy in building
machinery, particularly that of motor
cars, is OF the greatest Importance, and
the first step toward that end is the
perfection of a standard. Making such
standards is tedious and expensive
process But JOhannson has not
found it so, or else he values his Sc
c-et lightly from the pecuniary point
of view, for he is able to pay Uncle
Sam a duty of 45 per cent and still
offer his gauges in the American mar
ket for a few hundred dollars, although
they could not be made here for many
times their price.

are wiped" together so as to exclude
the air from between them they ad-
here with pressure which expert
ment has shown to exceed thirty
pounds to the square inch. Twenty
or more pieces may be thus wiped to-
gether and supported horizontally by
merely holding the last one, which
means that the accuracy Of their vari-
Gus surfaces is almost absolute.
Finishing one surface or two sur
faces to very close limit by tapping
rubbing together with a fine abrasive
between-is a comparatively simple
matter But achieving such perfect
parallelism as is shown by these re-
markable gauges is quite another
thing, a secret quite well worth know
ing.
The popularity about this mysteri-
ously powerful adhesion of the sep
arate pieces is that the feel OF the
built up gauge thus formed Is exactly
the same as that Of a single piece of
, metal, and this holds for any combi-
nation, the number OF pieces forming
II not affecting the sensation in the
slightest Any skilled mechanic will
understand instinctively the meaning
Of this and fits testimony to the &C
curacy of the gauges.
For instance, one inch gauge may
/ be built up OF pieces representing
0.5+0.2+0O5+ 150+01 inch. and the
resulting piece viii be one inch abso-
lutte, or any one OF several other COM
binations may be made to represent an
inch. and blindfolded the most expert
mechanic could not detect any differ
/ ence between the manner in which this
composite inch gauge and the one
piece inch gauge fitted in a snap gauge
