 We are arranging a sysrem such as some of the metropolitan schools use,'' said Supt Slawson today, ''and the solution of the congestion will be the continuous school day.
 The hours now are from 8:45 to 42:45 o'cock. The system being work ed out will arrange for classes at any time of the day so that the build ing will be in continuous use from 8 o'clock until o'clock. One group will come at 8, for Instance, another at 1oyanother at 12, perhaps. or the schedule has not been completed yet. Each group will be enabled to re- ceive the requisite periods of recita- ton.
 For those pupils who have work outside school in a store, office, or factory for a few hours of the day. periods will be arranged at conven- 1 tent hours so that they may come to school at the most advantageous time Teachers will 1be assigned in such manner that instructors will be avail able for any subject all day.

Should such a contention prove true estimable value and would permit of the closing of Ash Creek to any yes sels except through permission of the heirs or condemnation proceedings under the eminent domain acts
 Inquiry today among historians and those familiar with Colonial history tends to show that the assertions of the Turney heirs are we'll founded
 As far back as 1850, when Black Rock was still part of Fairfield the Tidewater mill located near the mouth of -Ashs Creek on the Fairfield side was operated by one Jackson s
 This mill with the exception of one owned by Perry on Mill river was the only grist mill in that section for many years prior to the Revolution ary war. It was located upon a blight of land and a dam is said to have ex- tended across Ash Creek. about 100 feet north of the present mouth of the waterway at St. Mary's-by-the- Sea. While a portion of the old mill building has been incorporated in the Andrew Turney building which still survives, the dam was allowed to fall into disuse as both Black Rock and Ash Creek harbors became extensive

MEXICAN BRIDE
 WINS FREEDOM THROUGH DIVORCE
Stamford Girls Experiences in Southern Country Re
 called in Court.

After she had contracted yellow fe- yer on her honeymoon in Mexico, Frances B. Martinez of Stamford be- gan to regret her marriage to Carlos Martinez, son of a wealthy Mexican plantation owner. She testified this morning, when she applied in the su- perior court for a divorce, that her life was in danger and her husband s parents had her sent to a more north ern part of Mexico.
 The young bride declared today that she was taken to a small island where her husband left her with 200 natives while he went on hunting trips. She was locked in a hut with nothing to eat but fruit. Sometimes Martinez re- mained away three days. They re- turned to this country later but Mar tinez became so cruel that his wife was forced to leave him.
 The couple met when Martinez was attending school in Stamford. The girl, whose maiden name was Frances Parks, consented to elope to Port Chester, N. Y, January 13, 1913. They lived together until the following De- cember. Judge Curtis granted Mrs. Martinez a decree and a change of name.

BETTER SERVICE IS PROMISED BY CONNECTICUT co. Residents Along Local and Suburban Lines to Rene
 fit By Changes. COMMUTERS CARS TO RUN MORE OFTEN Five Minute Headway All Day Long on Principal
 Lines In City.

The Connecticut Co. will make rad fca1 improvements in local and subur- ban service, probably beginning June IT, The change will practically double any summer service ever operated by the trolley lines in this vicinity.
 Barnum and State street lines, North and South Main street line, Stratford avenue and Fairfield avenue lines will have five minute headway all day long instead of the 8 a. m. and p. m schedule heretofore.
 The North Bridgeport and South Park avenue lines will have increased numbers of cars upon the same sched- uIe as heretofore, running ''trippers."
 Westport and Norwalk will be given a, 20 minute headway daily with a ten minute schedule to Fairfield, which will offer more cars for residents in that section.
 The Derby line will run on a half hour schedule.
 An entire revision of the schedules between Bridgeport, Devon, Walnut Beach, Silver Sands, Milford and New Haven will give a seven and one-half minutes schedule to Fort Trumbull beach, taking care of Devon and Wal nut beach and a 15 minute service to Savfn Rock. It will be so arranged with newly installed turnout at Fort Trumbul beach, located at Seaside avenue, that service from the early morning until 10 o'clock will be under 15 minute headway with a seven and one-half minute schedule from 10 a. to about<10 p. n1- Heretofore there have been special services to Walnut Beach, -Devon-a -and@SiIXer Sands The new accommodation terminal at Fort Trumb bull is designed to care for the large increased population this side of that point and will be a great con venience to residents and summer vis- itors.
 An analysis of the changes show street line has heretofore run from 8 to on five minute schedule. Here after the service will be from a. m. to about il D. nl.
 Similar conditions prevailed on the North and South Main street lines and oni the Stratford- Fairfield avenue di- vision to Ash Creek. On the Main Bethany chapel. As soon as complet- ed this new service will extend through to that point.
 Where the service to westport and Norwalk is now on a, 40 minute sched- u1e from noontime to p. m. and pos sibly later, the schedule will be dou- b1ed. Except on busy Sundays this division has never had better than 40 service.
 On the Stratford and Fairfield ave- nue lines the increased service in the early morning. and late evening will be a great aid to those working in fac tories and seeking amusement in the evening. The .15 minute service to Savin Rock, instead of the ha1f-hourly to Walnut beach, making seven and one-half minute service to that point is substa antially a tripling of previous
