 It wasn't very serious collision but it furnished entertainment for a large and enthusiastic audience in front of WoolWorth's Five and Ten store this morning. Little harm was done but the English language was ripped up the back and sides and sulphuric syllables were spilled around generously.

Off, cer Clarence Lamphere carried on an investigation, Dworin explained that Devivo's buggy extended out into the roadway but the crowd insisted that vivo came out of a store and began to insist that he was a ruined man. He called Dworin milkman and sev- eral other names and insisted that the war over in the old country would be a Hague convention by com parisen to the little argument he was ready to start. Dworin insisted that he would not pay for the damage and Devivo insisted that he would or there would be a big battle.

WHAT TO DO FOR
 ITCHING SKINS

Eczema, ringworm and other itching, burning skin eruptions afe so easily made worse by improper treatment that one has to be very careful. There is one method, however, that you need not hes itate to use, even on a baby's tender slsin-that is, the resinol treatment. Resinol is the prescription of Balti- more doctor, put up in the form of res incl ointment and resinol soap. sThis proved so remarkably successful that thousands of other physicians have boen prescribing it constantly for 20 years.
 Resinol stops itching instantly, and almost always heals the eruption quick ly and at little cost. Resinol ointment and resinol soap can be bought at any druggiat's.

Goal Not Yet in Sight

ClrY ATTORNEY POLLARD'S opinion
" that the city is liable for no part Of the
cost to be incurred by the Belt Line Railway

nit the crossing OF Monument Avenue and
other West End thoroughfares. puts another
light the situation. Ii the courts con-
struc the law Mr.. Pollard does, the City's
financial burden will be much lightened and
the problem OF the West End crossings cor

II is not to be expected that the railway
company will yield without long and bitter
struggle to the new Interpretation OF the
statute. The contrary Interpretation. under
which city and railway would divide the cost.
had been assumed to be the correct one and
ii is certain that the company will hold to it
with passionate zeal and Zest.
That circumstance. however, need not con-
Germ the city. save as it seems to au:;ur fur

vice OF its law officer and pay no part of this
improvements cost that in law or conscience
II should not be required to pay. The diff
ference of opinion whether measured in de-
srces of determination or in dollars or cents,
or in both, promises long and interesting
controversy.
In the meantime. it is to be apprchended,
Monument Avenue will go unopened and the
territory fronting on that and adjacent
streets west of the Belt Line will remain
largely undeVeiopod This appears foolish
and uneconomic. In view of the fact that
Patterson Avenue. used for traffic to a far
larger extent than Monument Avenue is at
all likely to be within the next year or two,
is crossed now at grade, and that there are
hundred grade crossings within the present
CITY Limits, railroad opposition TO enc more
appears extraordinary. Such opposition is
the more extraordinary when it is consGe ed
that tie proposed grade crossing would be
temporary only, with replacement by d more
satisfactory arrangement, explicitly contem-
plated, whenever city and railroad should find
it possible to reconcile their differences. or
enc should obtain over the other a decisive
advantage in the courts. Municipal opposi-
ton TO the temporary grade crossing is easier
to comprehend, but not less distasteful to the
owners of property, who await only decent
opportunity to develop their holdings.
Doubtless there is balm in Gilead. or some
where else, adequate to the healing OF the

temperatures and strong winds.
