wash the parts and you will be
surprised how the blackheads have
disappeared. Big blackheads, little
blackheads. no matter where they
are. simply dissolve and disappear.
Blackhcads are mixture of dust
and dirt and secretions that form in
the pores OF the skin. The calonite
powder and the water dissolve the
blackhcads so they wash right out.
leaving the pores free and clean and
in their natural condition.=Adv.

How Abraham Becker murdered his
wife. Jennie. by striking her over the
head with an iron bar and then bury
ing her alive early on April last was
told yesterday in a sworn confession
by Reuben NorlSin. The woman's
body had been dug up on Wednesday
from boiler pit in the yard OF Nor
kin's automobile repair shop at 140th
street and Southern Boulevard, The
Bronx, where Norkin had guided the
police.
The confession, made public by Ed
ward J. Glennon, District Attorney OF
The Bronx, said Norkin served as look
out while Becker felled the mother Of
his four children from behind. dragged
her thirty feet by the coat collar and
threw her groaning into the pit
shoveling her under with earth and
slabs of rock
Then, standing on the mound with
hands clasped. the two men entered
into solemn compact never to betray
one another.

Mr. Glennon. II did 1t out of friend

the lunch wagon at about 80 A NJ.

Southern Boulevard. where Mrs. Becker
was waiting. Taking Mrs Becker
aboard, while Nork!n moved out on the
runningboard. Becker drove slowly into
the yard and, pretending the engine had
stalled. came to a stop.
Becker got out and lifted the engine
hood, pretending to examine the car
buretor. He asked first Norkin, then
Mrs Becker, to take look at it When
his wife. all unsuspectlng. bent over to
peer down into the cylinders by the
vague light from distant street arc,
Becker, with an eighteen inch iron bar,
struck her back OF the ear.
The autopsy revealed that tho blow
had fractured her skull. 1t did not kill
her outright. according to Norkin. who
heard her groans as Becker seized her
collar and dragged her through a hole
