tor Carlstrom, aviator instructor at the
Atlantic coast aeronautical station here,

student flyer, were instantly killed
this afternoon at 1890 O'CLOCK, when the
airplane in which they were dying col
lapsed at an altitude OF about $500 feet
and fell like a plummet to the earth
The machine was smashed to splinters
and the bodies of the victims were hor-
ribly mutilated beyond recognition. The
fall was witnessed by hundreds of per-
sons in various sections of the city and
caused a near-panic among the children
at one OF the public schools. who were
watching the flyers during their noon
recess.
Carlstrom was giving Epes his first
flight They left the ground and rapidly
rose to about $500 feet. They were fly
ing along smoothly when persons watch
ing the machine saw IT suddenly crum-
pie UP and plunge downward. AS the
crippled machine fell observers saw a
portion of the plane sailing after it.
This proved to be the right wing, which
evidently gave away and caused the re-
mainder of the plane to collapse.
Carlstrom reached the zenith of his
fame when he flew from Chicago to New
York for the New York Times several
months ago. Previous TO that time he
had flown from Newport News TO New
York without a stop. setting a record
for cross-country flying. Carlstrom also
held the American record for altitude
with pilot and one passenger, having as
cended to a height of $500 feet here
year ago.
Earlier in his flying days Carlstrom

won numerous other laurels in the avia-
ton world and had been awarded a
medal by the Aero Club of America.
A few weeks ago Carlstrom received
an appointment as first lieutenant in
the aviation reserve corps of the United
States army. He was considered one
Of the best instructors in the country
and had a large class of army students

DR.. Howard James, late of The Man

to be commended on handing out this
statement on NuXated Iron for puollc

women who need a strength and blood
builder, but do not know what to take.
There is nothing like organic iron-Nux-

riches the blood, brings roses 70 the the
cheeks Of women and is an unfaillng
source of renewed vitality, endurance
and power for men who burn up too
rapidly their nervous energy in the
