Will NOT CUT
SCHOOL SHORT
FULL SESSION TO BE had
CONWAY SCHOOLS TO BE MAIN
TANNED AS USUAL, DESPITE
SHORTAGE OF FUNDS.

The Conway public schools will be
conducted for the usual session of
eight months and there will be no tut
ton charged to any pupil, notwith-
standing the depleted condition of the
districts funds, This statement may
be regarded as authoritative, coming
from several of the directors in reply
to rumor which seems to have gain
ed circulation tc the effect that there
woult be only two months of free
school with tuition charge for the
remaining six months.
"The people may rest assured that
the school will be conducted for the
usual term and that there will be no
charge for tuition in any grade at
any time during the session." said one
of the directors today. ''In order to
do this it may become necessary for
the board to secure subscriptions to
pay a portion of tbs years cost of
maintenance, but all such subscrip-
tions will be purely voluntary ant no
one will be required to pay anything.
1t may be possible to continue the
school without any outside aid. In
either event, there will be no change
in the school in any way so far as
tuition or length of term is concern
ed"
The report that there would be only
two months of free school followed
the publication in the Log Cabin DEM
ocrat of an authorized statement CIV
en- out by the school board which
showed that there is now in the coun-
ty treasury sufficient funds for only
the first two months of the session,
with no revenue available until after
next July. Technically, this is cor
rect, but as matter of custom the
county collector has been paying off
the districts warrants beginning
early in Februar, or as soon as the
first taxes are paid, and continuing to
do so until he made his final settle
ment in July. The school was thus
able to be maintained without dis
counting the warrants.
For the past three years, however,
the deficit has grown somewhat larg
er each year until this year there is
a prospect that the funds in the treas
ury will be exhausted before the col
lector mas even begun to collect the
taxes of 1911. This will make it nee
essary for financial arrangements to
be made to carry the warrants for
period of probably 60 days until they
can be redeemed by the collector, and
unlesi additional revenue is obtained
from some source it will put the dis
trict still farther behind for the next
succeeding year.
1t is considered likely, however, that
there will be a considerable increase
in the revenue next year, by reason of
increased assessment and the pros
poets of further additions to the tax
able values by the county board of
equalization One of the school di-
rectors said today that the board
would probably not take any action
toward relieving the financial situa-
ton until it seen just what revenue
the district would have from the tax
es of 1911.

YEARS ROWING PLANS
NOW ARE COMPLETED

The American Rowing Association
win hold its annual regatta, popularity
known a. the American Henley, at
Philadslphia on Saturday, May 81,
when several second varsity and fresh
men combinations. as well as many
Of the boat clubs, will know their early
relative standing, thus giving q line
as TO what may be expected OF them
later.
On that date a rowing season such
az the country has not before seen
win start in. for three days later, on
Memorial Day, will come not only the
historic Harlem Regatta but also the
race between the first varsity crews of
Cornell and Harvard at Ithaca and
between the second varsity crews of
Cornell and University of Pennsyl
vania at Philadelphia: followed up in
a little over three weeks by the Inter
COLLEGIATE Regatta at Poughkeepsie
and the Harvard-Yale races at New
London
On July Philadelphia will have the
tirne-honored Peoples Regatta which
always draws many entries of quality.
Annapolis and Princeton during this
period will have rowed their match
races on their home waters, the Severn
River and Carnegie Lake respectively,
with the other leading varsity crews.
Then early in August the Canadian
Henley will be pulled of, with the big
national championship right at it's
heels. probably at Saratoga, as was
exclusively printed in last Sundays
World; and finally the Middle States

UNKNOWN" TO
BATTLE COTCH
HERE FEB. "a

Frank Gotch, heavyweight cham
pion wrestler of the world will make
his appearance in this city on Friday,
Feb. "a, instead of Feb. %, as an
nounced previously. Yesterday Prof.
Jim Atlas, who is promoting the bout
completed arrangements to have the
contest run off at the state armory.
Prof. Jim stated today that he
would have an unknown" appear
against the champion to wrestle to a
finish. Atlas added that he expected
to have the unknown win, and that
he would tour the country with him.
One of the preliminaries already
arranged and which will unload heaps
of eXciteme nt is a finish bout be-
tween Hjalmar Lundin and Sandello,
the Italian champion. All holds, in
Guiding the strangle hold, are to go
in this match. Sandello will be re-
membered as the grappler who in the
tournament last week, after having
won and lost a fall over Neils Olsen,
the terrible Dane, lost the third fall
on a foul, due to the strangle hold.
Lundin threatens to take all the fight
out of the Tartar.

Raw Musk.

Musk In the raw looks q good deal
like axle grease and smells worse The
popular notion that the musk of COM
merce is obtained from the muskra+
is mistake. There is obtained a
somewhat similar perfume from the
muskrat, but most Of the supply
comes from the musk deer, cree-
ture that is carefully reared in India
for the sake of the secretion. The
secretion is shipped in the crude state
and is used not only In the Danufac-
Nre Of the liquid perfume sold as
musk, but also In very small quaint
ties to give strength and staying pow
er to many perfumes made from the
essential oils OF flowers. Curiously
enough, the blossoms Of two native
plants have a noticeably musky odor.
One is the small yellow blossom Of
creeping vine known az the musk
plant It's odor is marked and is coun-
terfeited in the commercial perfume
called musk. The other is the blood
root. The pure white blossom of that
early spring plant has a distinct
though delicates musky odor. A bean
known as the musk bean is a cheap
substitute for animal musk.

COLLEGE BOYS MAY.
HAVE BOXING LEAGUE
University of Pennsylvania
| Asks Yale, Harvard and
Others to Help Form It

Philadelphia, Feb. The University
of Pennsylvania is to found new in
tercollegiate boxing league, and yes
terday afternoon, William J. Crombie,
the physical instructor, sent letters
to Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Cornell
and Columbia asking them to assist
Penn in forming an association.
This is the first step ever taken by
an American institution of Importance
to affiliate with the other colleges
and promote the glove game as
college sport.
For ten years Pennsylvania has had
May Day sports. with wrestling and
boxing as features of the night. The
boxing was conducted along the lines
of the amateur bouts, and no one
has been hurt or even bruised in the
contests.
The sophomore and freshmen classes
have been the participants in these
games, and they have been so success
full that some OF the more daring spir-
it's at Pennsylvania want the tourney
made open to members of all classes
and departments.
The boxing class at Pennsylvania is
under the tutelage OF George Decker,
who at one time was a well known
professional lightweight. Decker is in
favor of the tourney and thinks that
the bouts can be made a feature of
the athletic season in the colleges.
Pennsylvania has several men who
are proficient with the gloves, among
them Danny Hutchinson, the football
star; Larry Miller, James Skinner.
Livingstone Sullivan, T. D. Barclay
and e. Roseberry.
It is expected that all the colleges
invited will accept and that the first
set Of college boxing matches ever
held in America will be seen this
spring. There is a strong prospect
that the events, when the new as
ISOLATION is organized, will be held in
this city.

THE STYLE OF THE
NEW YORK GIRL

cit is not only her clothes, but the
way she wears them that makes you
look twice at the New York girl as
you pass her on the avenue" says
Grace Margaret Gould in Womans
Home Companion for February. "She
is always fit and always well poised.
But no two seasons does she look
just alike.
"Just now and for many a month
back she has been very straight-up-
are emphasizing the slim silhouette.
But the New York girl, the real
New York girl, the one other girls
the land over love to copy, never
stoops to ridiculous costumes.
''She is wearing just now a coat
affair whether it happens to be made
of mannish suiting or velvet. The
skirt is plain and scant and short.
The coat is short, too, and fits snug
ly over the hips. Almost invariably
it is trimmed with broad silk braid,
specially is this so when the suit is
made Of velvet The braid is more
often black than anything else.
Perhaps the most noticeable feat
ure of the short Jacket is the broad
revers which frequently form, in the
back. sailor collar.
"'Of course. the hat is small, as it
should be to wear with walking cos
tune. and it may be of velvet, beaver
or satin. 1t is worn we'll pulled
down on the head. 1t gives you the
impression that the fair wearer put
it on as if she meant it to stay. 1t
may have a bit of a tilt to the let or
it may not, but what little trimming
it boasts of is arranged well toward
the back.
''This alI-important New York girl
is a fur-wrapped lady this year. Furs
are one of the distinct style notes of
the season. Flat stoles with long
ends and big, fiat muffs are favored
and the furs most worn are black fox,
lynx, sable, mink, Australian opossum
and moleskin"

Oddities Of Cecil Rhodes.

He possessed few intimate friends,
and not even to all of them did he dis
close his hand. Mere acquaintAnces
dis1iked his moody silences, varied
with fits of rather boisterous fun.
They considered him exclusive, mo-
rose, rough and overbearing. And 1t
must be admitted that he was good
hater, violent when thwarted and at
times blunt to the point Of rudeness.
It is difficult to be sufficiently uncon-
ventional to shock a mining camp, but
he shocked it. In dress he was almost
disreputable. He seldom took pains to
ingratiate himself with any one, and
a man whc too openly scorns his Eel
lows must expect to suffer social oS-~
tracism and to have his character ira
duced. It would be idle to deny that
for a time there were unfavorable ru-
mors in circulation regarding him or
that he was in many circles unpop-
ular. But, like Gallo, he cared Tor
none Of those things."-Sir Lewis Mich

NATIONAL TENNIS
BODY PLANS MEET
FOR SCHOOL BOYS
Will Make An Attempt to
Follow England's Foot
steps in Developing Lawn
Tennis Players Newport
to Lose Tournaments.

England's endeavor to develop the
highest type of lawn tennis player by
encouraging and systematizing the
game among the schoolboys is to be
followed in this country The Har-
lem Lawn Tennis Club has devised a
plan which will be offered at the an
nual meeting of the National Associa-
ton Friday night Plans for ma
tional junior championship will be
suggested. Direct application for the
junior tournament will be made in
the name Of the Pittsburg Athletic
Club, it is said.
The matter of bringing out school
boy players has been touched upon
before, but the first systematic effort
was started last August at Meadow
Brook. and during the national meet
ing at Newport. Karl H. Behr
brought the matter prominently for
ward in his recent crusade, stating
1t was the evident duty of the Ma
t;ona' Association to educate espec-
tally the youth of the country to the
possibilities of the sport.
At the annual meeting of the Har-
lem Club Arthur Scheffer presented
a plan to throw open the courts of
that organization to the school girls
to put the idea into operation. I'm
der the arrangements contemplated
the courts are to be open to juniors
whose credentials have been passed
upon by the committee.
An officer of one of the influential
clubs stated that the project Of open
ing the courts to juniors was being
considered in his organization. 1.-THE
difficulty has been that high school
boys and other youngsters who be-
came interested in lawn tennis found
1t impossible to play unless they
were fortunately able to use a private
court. A very limited number would
IA lxn a w nj n hof
days and would get along fairly we'll.
cit is a notable fact, however, that
every player Of note has begun as a
kid at the game. William A. Larned
won the interscholastic and the in
tercollegiate in his teens. Beals
e. Mclaughlin, the Californian, be-
gan when he was thirteen. We all
need to make big push and to boost
lawn tennis for the schoolboys.
1.-The majority of the club courts in
this city are unoccupied until late in
the afternoon. The Juniors could
easily occupy them to advantage, and
junior events would add interest to
the tournaments. With able leaders
there should be no difficulty in start
ing a big schoolboy movement in the
sport this yeaqi
Newport, RI, Feb. 1.-The Ca
sino governors are alarmed over the
concerted action to take from New
port the tournaments of the National
Lawn Tennis Association. The re-
moval of the tournaments held here
fer nearly thirty years would mean
g. great financial and social loss to
Newport, and it is even said that the
days of the Newport Horse Show at
the Casino are numbered, largely be-
cause the city fails to build one or
more summer hotels.
At the annual meeting of the Ma
tiona1 Lawn Tennis Association in
New York Friday the governors will
make many concessions, and hope
they will win out this season at least
