years but these were before the regular meeting was opened. There has been much criticism of such action by the board in preventing the facts of such situations from being made public, but it apparent ly has either not been heard by the board members or not needed.
 "Ten- Minute" Recess
 The, three republican members reached the office first and a few minutes after p. m. the three democratic members came in to- gether. After George A. Kelley, new democratic member of the board was introduced to the re- publicans, Chairman Rodenbach stated: "As I am the retiring chair man think I can call the meet ing to order"
 Immediately before the session had been officially called, Peter Meegan, democrat, moved a recess of 10 minutes be taken. Dr. Ken nedy seconded this and the motion was passed with the republicans not objecting or voting in favor.

number of yearS,. was reappointed and Dr. Charles Kennedy was elect ed as secretary of the board, taking the place held for many years by Attorney Henry J. Freeman who is now not a member of the board.
 Hectic Session
 But there is no doubt that the private meeting was hectic one for from the hall could be heard the loud voices of the arguing mem bers, and the faces of some mem- bers grew so red the press was glad a doctor was present in case apoplexy should hit some of the board members.
 Just why the battle over the chairmanship could be so import ant and necessary for privacy that the board should give the public, through its representatives a direct slap in the face, figurateively speak ing of course, is not known.
 The chairmanship is only an hon. orary post. The chairman carries outt he usual duties of a board chairman, has no more power than any member and signs diplomas and often presents them. There is no monetary compensation and and probably more duties in the .of- flee than in the secretaryship.
 The secretaryship pays $50 a year and requires preparation of the minutes of each meeting. For a number of years it had been a tacit understanding apparently that republican would receive the |chairmanship and democrat should get the secretary post

NAUGATUCK
Wm J. Baxter Correspondent-PhOne Naugatuck s5-2.

Naugatuck, May 1.-The represen- tatives of the public, and press, were given the bounce, firm and sure bounce, albeit so polite and genteel, fro mthe June meeting of the board of educatoin yesterday afternoon at the high school, and after the most important discussion was over, the gentleman of the board kindly permitted the press to listen in on the minor matters that came up. These apparently in the minds of the board members, were the only things the public, the tax payers who will supply $208,900 for the school department this year, should know about.
 Whether the contracts for teach- CTS were renewed, whether new ap- pointments were made, whether the high school itself was sold at the secret session is not known. At least the gentlemen of the board after the meeting did not state what the business was from which they felt the taxpayers representa- tives should be barred.
 From snatches of occasionally loud conversation heard by the reporters as they waited in the hall outside of the office of the superintendent of schools, it seemed that the dis cuSsion was a battle between demo- crats and republicans over the of- ficers of the board, particularly the chairmanshin
 If this were so, and we could not state it is an absolute fact, the re- publicans apparently won and the democrats lost for Charles P. Rod- enbach, who has held the position of chairman of the board for a

STRANGE THING
ABOUT BRAIN
6By As.oeInted Pressl

NEW YORK, July So.-The
strangest thing known to man is
his own brain.
Take WORD deafness. It's
meaning is shown by II persons
with brain tumors, described by
Earl C. Chester, NJ. d.
All these persons knew perfect
ly well what a key is, also PEN
ell, a penny, match box, scissors
and comb. They could use a
match box, key, comb or any Of
the others.
Bet if you said key they
could not pick a key out OF a lot
OF other objects. They couldn't
say key nor any of the other
familiar names. They merely
would make queer sounds when
they tried to speak those names.
What happened, so far as medi-
cine is able to Judge? In each of
the II the tumor pressed on and
interfered with part of the gray
matter. This part was in the
dominant" side of the brain.
That is. it was on the opposite
side of the head from the hand the
person preferred to use.

'BANDSTAND TO
Be DEDICATED;
PLAN PROGRAM
EVENT WILL BE IN cELE-
BRATIoN OF NEW STRUc-
TURE BUILT BY MEMBERS
OF BAND

Plans are being made by George
Mills White, in charge of the Fed
eral Music Project in Key West
for arrangement OF a dedicatory
program in celebration of the new
bandstand built by the Key West
Hospitality Band members.
Members of the band decided
some time ago that more attrac-
tive and spacious stand was need
ed and as there were no appro-
priaticns for this kind OF work,
decided to build the stand them
selves.
They got busy at once, started
putting their ideas in effect, and
it was not so long before a new
and excellent stand was complete
except che painting and this is be-
ing completed at this time.
MFR. White said he opined that
this would be an apropos time to
arrange the dedicatory program
and extend an invitation to city
and county officials, as well as
others, to give expression to their
ideas on the value of the hospital
ity band as an asset to the COM
munity, as well as its entertain
ment value to Key Westers and
visitors.

NEW YORK, July s0.-If a

act as a sponge for gasoline and
oil which can be ignited by a mo-
