BOND JUMPER IS
 CAUGHT IN N. Y.
Local Man Who Cashed Bonus Bonds May Be Re-
 turned to This City

Albert R. Smith, of 117 Green street, who faces charges of frau- dulently cashing 8 government sol- diers' bonus check and who fled the city several days after his ar- rest here, has been arrested in New York city, Waterbury police were informed today. Metropolitan po- lice notified authorities of all east ern cities of Smiths arrest, beliey- ing that the suspect may be want ed for other offenses.
 In addition to the fraud charge against him, Smith also known as Alfred Smith now also faces a count of bail jumping. He was ar- raigned before U. s. Commissioner Harry Krasow shortly after his ar- rest here Sept. 21 and was placed under bonds of $500. He remained in the city for several days, and then disappeared. He was to be arraigned in federal district court at New Haven.
 Smith was arrested by Lieut.. De- tective Matthew Balanda of the lo- cal police and Inspector William Higgins of the treasury department
 The government charges that through 8 mailing error Smith re- ceived bonus bonds intended for another man of the same name, and cashed them in. The other man meanwhile sought to learn what was delaying the arrival of his bonds. His complaint led to an investigation, and subsequently, to Smiths arrest.
 Unless Smith is wanted on more serious charges elsewhere he will be returned to this state to face charges in United States district court.

 The vessel swung off its course and came up alongside the plane. Cold and tired but supremely thank full, the stranded aviator was brought over the side.
 Reports to the air ministry did not say what caused Bjcrkval to come down short of his goal. It was believed, though, that he ran out or fuel as his plane carried just enough gasoline to make Sweden under favorable conditions. If he en- countered head-wins. the supply may not have been sufficient. The Imbrin is a 33o-ton trawler, lregistsred out of La Rochelle.

hill, it is because the throat
muscles have fallen down on their
job. The contour of the throat
depends upon the large supporting
muscles, and when these lose in
tone, the throat line ages.
Exercise which strengthens and
firms the muscular network is the
primary measure in your throat
beauty program. Patting and gen
tie Slapping will help to efface the
wrinkles by stimulating circu-
lation. However, this improvement
will be only temporary unless the
Underlying muscles are restored to
vigor. All unlovely chins, whether
fat or thin, need exercise, for the
underlying trouble is in weak
muscles.
Before exercising apply cream,
warm oil or skin food as a lubri-
cant. These preparations do not
build UP the tissues, for exercise
alone can do that, but creams are
valuable in softening and smooth
ing the skin.
Take this on your chins: Plac-
ing the tongue behind the upper
teeth, with the teeth closed, push
the lower jaw slightly forward
and tense the throating from the
tip of the chin to the dimple in
the throat. Relax gently. Re-
peat this exercise three times,
performing slowly and forcefully.
Later, perform 10 times.
In a second exercise, place the
thumb under your chin where
the chinline meets the throat.
Maintining a slight pressure
with thumb, tilt the head over
the shoulder. Alternate the sides
and continue the thumb pressure
while contracting and relaxing
the throat muscles. Start with
four times, later IL times. Since
this exercise tones the muscles
along the sides of the throat, be
sure to perform the exercise an
equal number of times on each
side.
Following exercise, remove the
cream with cleansing tissue and
slap cold water under the chin
and over the throat. Never apply
hot water following throat exer-
else.
Friction aids in effacing surface
wrinkles. With the dry palms,
stroke upward with a light, slap
ping movement. Do not move the

quency of sinus and ear ailments
in this country, said to claim more
than 100000 persons as victims,
is often due to intermarriages
among various races and nation
alitieS, it was reported at the an
nual convention of the American
OSteopathic Society Of Ophthal-
mology and Otolaryngology.
Basing his conclusions on a sur
vey among pure and mixed stock
here and in Europe, DR.. C. Paul
Snyder of Philadelphia told the
gathering that most Americans
have some form of nasal deform-
ity due to accident of abnormal
bony growth.
This deformity is frequently
traceable to certain inherited char
acteristics governing the structure
and growth of the cartilage of the
nose, he explained.
He said:
"The reason for abnormal
bOny growth is found in the fact
that the cartilage Of the nose
grows from five different sources.
Certain cartilages have a pecu-
liar character in one race and
other cartilages a different char
acter in another race, SO that
when the two are crossed there
is a tendency to defOrmities of
the nose"
Faulty nose structure makes 1t
difficult to filter out impurities
that find their way into the nose,
and some of this material event
ually gets into the ears. causing
defects of hearing and even deaf
ness. DR.. Snyder declared. There
is also close resemblance between
Sinusitus and disturbances and
diseases of the eyes, he added.
