the accidental cut, sore, scald or burn
or the appearance of boils,
or felons, TO the more serious diseases
of the skin. 1t is not necessary to more
than suggest that every family and
everyone carry. ready for immediate
use. the worlds great standard skin
remedy-Resinol Ointment. This oint-
ment. Endorsed and recommended by
thousands OF physicians, nurses and ex-
perts, remains the standard of stand
ards. It is scientifically compounded
from natural ingredients. each one, and
all together. particularly adapted to
the skin. 1t is put up in screw-top opal
containers, selling for fifty cents and a
dollar. according to size. Resinol Oint-
mont is as eesy to apply as cold cream.

BOY WHO FLEW
OVER ROCKIES
KILLED IN FALL

NEW YORK, Oct. "A few hours
ago as proud as only a mother could
be of the remarkable aviation record
of her 19-year-old son, there is d
woman at $50 West 135th street. who is
crushed with grief today.
She is the mother of young Crom-
well Dixon, the youngest professional
aviator In the world. who on Saturday
won $4,000 for being the first to soar
over the Rockies and who yesterday
fell 100 feet at Spokane and died with
out regaining consciousness.
Poor Cromwell!' the mother sighed
this morning. ut was only his anxiety
to support me and his sister Lulu that
induced me to let him fly for money"
Dixon met his death in his second
flight at the Spokane Interstate fair.
His Curtis biplane. which he a been
flying only since last July, was caught
in a tricky c-ross-current, capsized and
fell in the sight of 10000 spectators
into a rocky railroad cut.
Here / go! I'm going!' the boy
shouted as he struggled to right the
~plunging machine. 1t landed only three
feet from Harry Ormon, a Curtis
! mechanician.

FURTHER ARREST
IN SMUGGLING
CASES EXPECTED

NEW YORK. Oct. S.-The jewel
smuggling for which Nathan Allen, Of
Kenosha, Wis, and John r. Collins, of
Memoirs, paid heavy fines yesterday,
vas under further investigation today
by the Federal grand jury. The gov
eminent is trying to find who was re-
sponsible for the alleged bribing Of
a customs officer and ~corrupting of
other government employees to wink 1T
extensive frauds. They are on the trail
also of a wealthy banker, better known
even than Allen or Collins.
These two men, who pleaded guilty.
n We're fined yesterday. are under
subpoena to appear as witnesses before
the grand jury today. Their attorney
denies. however, that they have any
agreement with the government to
make valuable revelations. Allen, the
attorney declares, is the victim of a
plot, and there are limitations that the
government still is far from the bottom
of the plot in which the smuggling of
the jewels afterward possessed by Mrs.
Helen Dwelle Jenkins was only an
incident.
