Supt. Chittenden's Request Approved
 At Regular Meeting
Past Escapades of Upper Classien Not Liked By Off, ficials Another Star Chamber Session of Board
 Causes Surprise School Vacancy Not Filled
NAUCATUCK
wm. J. Baxter. correspondent Naugatuck s7a.a

Naugatuck, Sept. 6--Hazing 6 of freshmen at the Naugatuck high school is to be stopped or else--- that is the edict issued by school authorities at meeting of the board of education yesterday aft- crnoon. The board approved the opinion of superintendent of Schools Harold E. Chittenden that the practice which has been in vogue here many years now, of roughing and tormenting freshmen on the opening day of school is a bad one and must be abolished.
 In the past members of the higher classes in the high school have banded together and showed their authority by man-handling the newcomers to the school. Last year several youngsters were dumped into the public fountain on the green, others were made to partially strip and one was liberal- ly painted up.
 Supt. Chittenden told the board that groups congregating on the green to do this present 8 bad ap- pearance and their conduct Is un- seenly. Some damage has been done in the past to their victims. Chair man Charles Rodenbaeh in agree ing with him pointed out many youngsters coming in are small in stature and might be seriously or easily hurt.
 It Is difficult for school officials to handle such happenings because of the many other problems that push forward on the opening day of school, MT. Chittenden told the board.
 So Q notice will be sent to teach CTS in every classroom to be read to the pupils that members of old CT classes participating in such ac- ton against freshmen will be im- mediately suspended. Freshmen don't usually assemble at the high school until 10 o'clock and the trouble usually starts when they leave. Therefore the upper class members will have received their warning and will have to take the consequences if they continue the hnzlng practice. "One or two ex- amples will put stop to the prac- tice," a board member said.

List Not Closed

Supt. Chittenden stressed the fact this does not mean the list for substitute work Is closed. He Is al- ways glad to get applications, for they may be needed at any time during the winter months. he said. It is the policy to employ a Nauga- tuckian as q substitute unless none here is capable of doing the work. Then 1t might be necessar to go out of town but these cases are rare.
 The school department had spent up to Sept. 1 $61,976.S2 of It's bud get for the year of $1S7,000. This is for i've month period but of course the summer months are the least costly for the department as schools ire not open nor are teach. CTS on the payroll.

Beacon Falls, Sept. 6.-About the same enrolment as last year is reported at Center school here, 1t was learned to-day More than 250 have enrolled thus far and the means, The Democrat was in- formed to-day by Mrs. Mary Don- ahue, principal.
 There are a number of pupils expected to register, who have not yet done so. Illness Is believed the reason for failure of many of these to enroll. However, it is expected most or all of them will report by the early part of next week.
 This should bring the total over 275 which is about the same fig ure as last year. The upper grades of the school are quite crowded, as had been expected, and teachers there are having about all they can do to accom- modae the students but 1t will not be necessary to supply another room however, 1t was stated to- day.
 The school work now has begun in real earnest with most of the necessary preliminary work of ar engagement and sorting being fin ished. Normal enrollments in Ny umph and Rimmon school are also reported.

Pedigrees Out
As Only Nuts
Strut Stuff

CAPE MAY, N. j., May 1.
Dogs! Every kind, every species
of plain mutt" were entered in
the annual Mutt Parade" held
here.
There wasn't a single pedi-
gree in the whole line of march,
but the young owners didn't
care. They love their pets just
as well as though they were
blue bloods and blue ribbon
winners.
Thousands of adults lined the
board walk to witness the pa
rade. The winning dog-he was
sort of a terrier-didn't walk,
however. His young owner
fixed up a basket as a side car
on his pushmobile so that the
pet could ride.

After Taxpayers Money
Who else do we have In Wash

bers? Representatives from every
hamlet, every city and every
branch of our Government are
here after the taxpayers money.
Why, If this keeps up few
more years, Washington will be
larger than New York, but it
will be of a different type. It
will be the pilgrimage type, look
ing for the end of the rainbow.
Who started all this?
During the Hoover adminiStra-
ton the destruction of food and
clothing was advocated. During
the Hoover administration, relief
not only advocated, but was &C.
tually begun in every State in
the Union.
At the close of the Hoover Ad,

campaign and all the policies Of
the Hoover Administration were
denounced from coast to coast.

Governor Talmadge's Radio Plea
j. For Return to Constitution

'perity in Washington. Every
paper advertises over the world
that there is a new board and a
new commission being created in
Washington to hire people at
greater salaries than private in
duStrv can pay them.
These same papers tell how
these boards and commissions will
interfere and restrict, and hinder
private industry.
This accounts for the thousands
and thousands of people who
make the pilgrimage daily to
Washington from Maine, Califor'
mia, the banks of the Rio GrSnde,
and the flats of Georgia and
Florida.
Thousands come to get jobs
with attractive expense accounts
Thousands come to honestly look
into and see how this bureaucracy
will affect their business that Is
endeavoring to exc out a liveli'
hood for the family and its en-
ployes.
Boom in Washington
These thousands making their
pilgrimage to Washington will in
crease day by day. Stock in cab
companies, transportation com
panies, hotels and restaurants in
Washington is a good investment
Why, the boom in Washington
surpasses the gala days in Miami,
Fla. when all America was troop
ing there. Whittier are we drift
ing? ITO Washington" is the
chorus.
But we don't grow corn, we
can't raise hogs, we can't grow
cotton and we can't manufacture
the worlds products in the hotel

So Washington is divided into

DEATH AND LIFE
IN NEW RAY

PALO ALTO, Cal, May 10
G.N.SJ.-As deadly to mankind
as it is beneficial, a new form of
cosmic ray has been developed by
a Palo Alto scientist, it was
claimed here.
The new ray can deal death in
war time and in peace time it
may be the long-sought ray that
will PROVE a cure for cancer and
tuberculosis, according to John
Kalsey, research worker and its
inventor.
The new ray is an artificially
produced cosmic ray and has been
successful in the matter of de-
Struction, Kalsey said.
81 have been able to utilize
the ray destructiveIy at a dis
lance of two miles with only
small equipment" he said.
The ray in its concentrated
form will wither all forms Of life,
Walsey indicated, pointing out
that in time of war a smoke
screen could be charged with the
ray and be sent into enemy terri
tory with disastrous results.
Kalsey has been working on his
experiment for the past five years
and claimed experiments conduct
ed in his Los Angeles laboratory
have proved his theory of the
ray.

HITLER DUEL
AVERTED

EASTON, Pa, May 10.-A pros
pective duel" resulting from the
presentation of a skit on the Ger
man situation, in the Lafayette
College revue, "Laughiettes of
1885," has been averted and the
international complication be-
tween two members Of the. stu
dent body has been amicably set
tied, officials Of the college an
nounced.
Gunther Kiersch, German ex-
change student and a fellow at
Lafayette, took exception to the
portrayal Of the character of
Adolf Hitler as given by G. E.
Morris Allen, a Lafayette senior.
Calling Allen into an office Of
one Of the departments, he told
the American student to remove
his glasses, and then proceeded to
slap Allen in the face, the Ger
man student method of challeng-
ing to a duel, reinforcing his
challenge verbally.
Allen, as the challenged person,
with the right to name weapons,
told Kiersch he was not adept in
the use of pistol or sword but
would meet him in boxing or wres-
ting.
The situation became noised
about the college and the two
men were summoned before col.
lege officials, where the differ
enceS were ironed out, and
Kersch has written a letter to Al
len regretting his action. The
show was repeated after the Incl
dent, with but slight change.
