CRIMSON CREW BACK
 IN OLD SHELL.
Harvard Varsity Returns to Boat in Which They Have Already Bestcn Yale Twice.

Owing to the high wind and very unfavorable water conditions the work of the Harvard crews was very light Wednesday morning, none of the crews having more than two or three short pulls over sheltered stretches of the river. In the freshman four oar L0- throp was changed from No. 3 to stroke and Weatherhead, stroke. was put in Lothrop's seat. The varsity eight on Wednesday changed back to the boat in which they won the race with ' ale last year and the year before.
 The Harvard varsity and freshmen e1ghts figured in the usual brushes on the river In the afternoon. Both eights went down to the three and a half mile flag in easy stretches and rowed back in stretches of quarter of a mile at a time. The stroke never went lower than 30.
 The varsity four pared crew started to take time spin for half mile. but the Yale launch with Bob Cook in it got in the way, so the trial was called off.
 F. P. Storrow, 1889, former captain and crew coach, was a visitor at quar- ters during the day.
 Harvard's standpat policy is dis played in every feature of the rowing campaign. Failure to make any changes in either the varsity eight or four, or the freshman eight lack of frequent time rows and, finally. "a steady elimination of technical faults all indicate confidence of victory in the Crimson camp. Members of the Har- ward rowing cabinet are pretty well satisfied with the mark of 20 minutes 25 seconds made by the Harvard eight in it's first time TOW.

ADVANCING WORK
 AT MOHEGAN PARK.
Finishing GreeneviIle Road-Footpath Proposed from Mckinley Avenue Beach for Girl Fathers Probable.

Following the appropriation of $4,OOO for Improvements at Mohegan park, made at Tuesday evenings city meet ing, work will be begun at once on the grounds. Work of completing the stretch of about 1,400 feet of road be- tween the Washington street and Greeneville roads is to be commenced today and will be completed in a short time. It is planned to construct a path from Mckinley avenue to the Rockwell street road into the park, thus making a direct entrance into the grounds from the car line.
 One of the attractions at the park just now IS the flock of little ducklings padding about the lake. Several dozen pheasant eggs are almost ready to hatch and thus a good sized addition to the aviary is expected
 Just now, with the advent of hot weather, the park is probably more popular than ever before and is daily visited by large numbers. The swim ming pool at the upper end of the pond is already well patronized, and it is considered probable that a beach for the girl bathers will be established on the opposite side of the lake.

The Central school district of Nor wich, organized under special legis- lative act, was abolished by the vote of the town in favor of consolidation, according to the following opinion by Attorney General John H. Light, which has it's bearing upon the situation else- where in the state:
 Hartford, June z, 1912. Charles D. Hine, Esq, Secretary State
 Board of Education;
 Dear Sir: You requestion my opinion as to the effect upon the Central school district of the town of Norwich of the vote taken by the town on the first Monday of October, 1911, to abolish all school districts and parts of school dis tricts within the limits of the town. It may be helpful to consider briefly the growth of the district school sys- tenn in this state. Prior to TIA the schools were independent corporate bodies. During that year a law was passed giving the towns and societies supervision over them. The code of 1750 provided that every town or parish should maintain one school. In 1724 certain schools were divided into two school districts, and in 1776 these dis tricts were recognized as. subdivisions of towns and parishes. During the year 1794 a statute was passed making the districts quasi corporations, with power to repair their own buildings, and to elect officers and levy and coll lect taxes.
 School societIes grew out of par1snes, and in 1798 a statute was passed trans ferring the schools from the towns to such societies, and this condition re-
 
 transferred back to the towns. In 1899 they were given practically the same powers which they enjoy today. Dis tricts are component parts of towns, and are not. for all purposes connected with common school edNcAkioA. inde- pendent corporations
 Bartlett vs Kinsley, 15 Conn.,, 335.
 Primarily the power to organize and establish school districts, or to alter or abolish existing districts, Is vested in the legislature, but this power may be delegated to the towns.
 Young vs. Bethany, 79 Conn, 166.
 First School Dist. vs. Eighth School Dist, 7S Conn.,, 73.
 Such power was first delegated to the towns in this state in 1860.
 The law may now be found in Sec tion 2175 of the General Statutes, as follows:
 Each town shall have power to form, unite, alter, and dissolve school districts and parts of school districts within its limits; and two or more towns may form school districts of ad- joining portions of their respective towns"
 Many scnooI distr1cts, like the one in question, were organized under the Act of 1855" (Section 2154 of Genera Statutes), and others were specially organized by legislative acts, but al districts, however organized, are sub ject to the towns under the authority given in Chapter 136 of the Genera Statutes. The legislature has pro vided in Section 2212 of said chaptei that "any town may abolish all of tht

PORTRAIT SECURED FOR
 HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Fine Crayon of Hon. David A. Wells Gift from His Dauehter-in-Law.

In the window of the Boston store was displayed on Wednesday a fine crayon portrait of the late David A. Wells which is to be presented to the Connecticut Historical society as q gift from the dauehte law of Mir. Wells. Mrs. Alcroft of England. It will be hung in the society rooms at Ngw Lon don
 By those of MT. Wells acquainrances who have seen the portrait and by oth- CTS who commented upon it on We'd nesday it is considered an excellent likeness and a very satisfactory ac- complishment on the part of the com
 nittee in carrying out the vote of the society last winter to obtain, if possi- bic, q portrait of this former distin- gutshed resident of Norwich.
 The portrait was secured after dili- gent search by the committee, Jona- than Trumbull and L. 0. Smith. They secured the country around here and
 also likely places in Massachusetts but without sueeess. to find likeness of Hon, Mir. Wells. Failing in this effort, they then wrote to his daugh- ter-in law in England, who replied that she sincerely desired the society to nave d pOTtfdlt oI Ter Idlner- lH Jaw and l she enclosed an engraving from sono book, offering to pay for an enlarge meHt if the committee would have 1t made and framed,
 But upon consultation with friends ! cf MT. Wells it was decided that the engraving was taken at So young R1 | age that it was inadvisable to have 1 d eapy made from it,
 In this emergency a geed cabinet ! photograph was found among friends ! here and from this the present crayer 1 enlargement was made in New Yerk l for the committee.

Try Skin Absorption
 Instead of Cosmetics
lrrom rhe Woman MiIItant.l ]

The constant use of rouge and powder invites a coarBened, rouRn- ened condition of the skin, eruDtions, enlarged pores and wrinkles. If you've learned this from experience, suppose you quit cosmetics and try what l recommend.
 Ask your druggist for an ounce of ordinary mercolized wax and begin using this tonight. Apply like cold cream, washing it off in the morn ing. Keep this up for a week or two. The wax will literally absorb the coarse, colorless or biemishsd top skin, but 80 gradually as not to dis commode you at all Juet as grad uaily the clear, velvety. naturally tinted underskin comes Co the Btr- face. And mercolized wax becomes your everlasting friend
 For those wrinkles and large porea make face bath by dissolyin4 an I ounce of powdered saKolite in a haIf pint of witch hazel. This has remark able astringent and tonic proDerfieA and beneficial results come quickly.

WATER TOO ROUGH
 FOR MUCH ROWING.
Yale Crews Kept to Sheltered Coves
 Around Gales Ferry.

Rough water, which has handicapped the crews a good part of the time they have been at Gales Ferry this season. was again responsible for curtailment of the work of the Yale crews Wednes- day. The varsity eight was forced to take short rows in a sheltered cove and the fours also had little practice The freshman eight was sent down to the navy yard, but going down and coming back they shipped considerable water.
 By 6 o'clock in the evening the Yale crews found chance to practice. The varsity eight then practiced racing starts in the sheltered cove, later row. ing for half a mile under the watch. No time was given out.
 The freshman eight rowed down the river for four miles. but the work was not as smooth as usual. because of poor conditions. The varsity four oar crews were out for a long practice keeping up 8 stroke not higher than 2S.
 Walter Camp. dean of Yale football, was visitor at quarters Wednesday.
 Affairs in the Yale camp are cer- tainly not indicative of certain victory. but the varsity eight has not failed to display gradual Improvement and it's new English stroke is relied upon as a speed producer The Yale eight for the first time this season maintained a 32 clip for q mile in the four mile time try. and the boat showed the most satisfactory speed of the season. Cap tain Romeyn of the varsity eight said in speaking of the try. that he regard ed It as satisfactory in every respect. The official time was 21 minutes 3S seconds. The fact that the varsity cleaned up the second eight by 10 lengths was regarded by the coaches with especial satisfaction.
 The Yale freshman eight has devel oped remarkably the past week. vet if Is far from the rowing equal of the Harvard 1915 eight. Y9le's hope of winning one of the three formal events of regatta week lies in the principal match of the programme, the varsity eight contest. and the Ell boat will not paddle to the starting mark a favorite in this event.

WAlNscoTTlNG AFIRE.
Chemical Company Called to Home of
 William p. MeGarry.

About II o'clock Wednesday morn ing the wainscotting in the home of MT. and Mrs. William P. McGarry took fire from a lighted gas range. Mrs. McGarry left the gas burning in the kitchen and went out on to the piazza, leaving the gas range longer than she. intended, During her absence the woodwork took fire. She tried to put out the fire with water, and when the auto chemical arrived in answer to d telephone call, had nearly succeeded. It was necessary to cut away a part of the wainscotting in order to eX- tinguish the rest of the flames. AL though a piece of zinc protected the wall, in some manner the woodwork caught fire from the flames of the gas stove
