CYLINDER HEAD OFF AT LIGHT PLANT
Old Fleming Engine Gave Trouble As Being Turned Over on Wednesday Afternoon-No Damage Done to the Other Equipment as Steam Pressure Low Little Help from Scotland Dam Now

At the city electric light plant on Wednesday afternoon the usual routine of operations was interrupted by the blowing off of the cylinder head on the old Fleming engine. Luckily the en- zine was not under high pressure and the heavy metal head of the cylinder merely dropped off onto the floor of the station, Had the engine been running under high speed the cylinder head would have had a good chance of blowing through the side of the building. The Fleming engine that gave the trouble was one that was installed nine years ago, soon after the plant was taken over. by the city It has been subject to such vagaries be- fore. The engine has not been used on the line for some time, but to see that it is in condition to be called upon in case of an emergency it has been the custom at the plant of giving it a trial every week The employees were making this test when the head blew

THREE RACES PLANNED
 FOR CHELSEA OUTING

 Features for Friday.

Three interesting events for motor boats have been arranged for the Au- gust outing of the Chelsea Boat club, at Chelsea lodge at Scotch Cap on Fri day, by the committee of arrange ments, which comprises Julian l.. Will Hams. Frank D. Sevin, E. Lewis Young, George A. Richmond and Dan- iel s. Haviland. A dozen or more launches are going down. it is expect ed now. The first feature will be a bang and go back race, in which event at the sound of the gun the boats will turn around and come back over the course and on hte next one start out again. The length of the course will be uncertain, as will be the time of the firing of guns. Theoretically each boat should get back to the mark at the same time, but because of engine trnu- bles and differences in turning the various craft around it should be a good race The second number sched- uled is team relay race, in which the boats viii be suitably matched up and the event Will be a handicap race.

Summer-Spoiled Skin
 Removed by Absorption
{ l1rom FIonpc Olli.en)


 As undue summer exposure usually leaves an undesirable surface of tan dust or grease. often freckles, too, II would seem more sensible to remove such surface than to l1ite 1t with cos melics. There's nothing better for thls than ordinary mercolized wax, which actually absorbs an unwholesome com plexion. The thin layer of surface skin is itself absorbed. gently and gradual ly, so there's no inconvenience and no detention indoors. Just spread the wax lightly over the entire face at bedtime and take it off in the morning with warm water. If you will get one ounce of ,mercolized wax at the drug. store and use for a week or so, you may expect marked improvement daily. When the underlying skin is wholly in view your complexion will be a marvel of spotless purity and beautiful white- ness.
 Don't let those summer wrinkles worry yous worry will breed more wrinkles. Better to banish them by bathing the face in as.solution of DOW dered sa xoiite, l oz.. dissolved in E pt. witch hazel. Used daily forga while this will. be found wpnderfully effect i've

 There was no impairment of the electric service, which is now car- ried by the 2000 kilowatt turbine gen. orator, producing an abundance of current. At the Uncas Power com pany,s plant at the Scotland dam there is again a scarcity of water this sum- mer owing to the lack of rainfall and Norwich has received no current at all for ten days past By Saturday, however, there should be a full pond there and the Uncas plant in that case will be able to carry the load on Saturday afternoon when the motors used for power about the city are gen. orally shut off. But the water does not hold out for more than a dozen hours ordinarily and then the steam plant in this city has to be started up again.

Opportunities
 Are Greatest


 Business constantly calls for young men and young women with trained brains.
 You will find no greater opportunities anywhere than are to be found in business. To get into. business, to make the most of your capital, your brain, you need training. Let the Norwich Commercial School train you for and assist you in securing pleasant and profitable employment where the chances for advancement will be unlimited.
 Years ago a mere knowledge of Shorthand and Bookkeeping was considered training enough for a beginner. Times change and the Norwich Com- mercial School has expended thousands of dollars in equip ment to meet this modern trend-to enable it to success fully train it's students not only in Shorthand, Touch Typewriting, Bookkeeping and the usual subjects taught, but also in Modern Business Me thods and the use of Book Keeping Cash Registers Add ing and Listing Machines. Dictaphones, Business Pkono- graphs, Autographs, New styles, Hectographs, Letter Presses, Roller Copiers, Check %seys Indexes, Filing and Loose Leaf Systems,
 It takes more push than pull to get and hold pleasant and profitable employment now than 1t did years ago and the difference between thorough up-to- date Business Course as offered by Norwich Commercial School and the anticipated methods of years ago may mean the difference between Success and Failure for you.
 By our efficient modern me thods. we add our Special Course in Office Training and Business Efficiency and get you through in the same length of time it formerly took with less thorough and complete courses.
 Our 20th Century Eookkeep- ing Methods. Electrical Dietat- ing Machines. Special system of Shorthand, expert, individ ual.. instruction enable us 10 give you more for your money that you are likely to get else wAere.
 You should enroll now-de- lays ray no t1ividends-a Nor wich Commercial School train- ing. does.
