Barkesdale's 'Chute Opened, But Caught on Ship. Says Report. First reports of the accident which befell Lieut. E. H. Barksdale yester- day, at McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio, attributing his death to the failure of his parachute to open, were corrected by the Army Air Corpd today. According to a message received from the commandant of McCook Field, Lieut. Barksdale jumped at about 1,000 feet while the plane was spinning rapidly to the left, and the opened parachute caught in the wires of the plane, cutting the shroud lines. No other details were given, but it was thought here that the noted air- man fell right in line with the spin ning ship which fouled his parachute. The record for the efliciency of the Army parachute to date 100 per cent, it was added.

BY ROBERT T. ALL. NEW YORK, August 12.—There no longer is talk of a crime wave in the United States. It is not a wave. It is an era. And wherever you happen to find yourself in the country, Kast or West, North or South, you seem to be in the very center of lawless- | ness Crime today wears u coat of | y colors. It varies its methods according to locality. New York is in the grip of what Poll Commissioner ~ McLaughlin ichtly has called a war—a war to the | death”on gunmen and all other char- acters of the underworld. The com- oner has decreed no quarter to crooks, but pretty soon it will be ecessary to say to shoot on sight and shoot to kiil. Six New York policemen have been slain in the past seven months and 20 badly wounded in fights with hold- up men and other crooks. Whatever else may ever have been said about the New York police, there never has heen a question as to their bravery. When a member of the motor cycle syuad was dying a day or two ago as the result of bullets fired from a flee- FAGEFINSH WA STAR. WASHINGTON, Ing limousine, he said to the com- missfoner: “Never mind, Chief; it's all in the Minimizes His Courage. To the writer, who was comment- {Ing upon recent acts of bravery on the part of the cops, one of them @®aved his hand in derision: “Aw." he said, “you gotta be brave to hold the job." Nevertheless New York is up in arms against the shooting of her policemen and another clean-up of the city is on the calendar. But in all such movements there is the usual: friction. the usual play of charges and counter charges. The metropolis is no different from Can- ton, Ohio, in that respect. The po- lice commissioner here says that the magistrates are far too lenient and far too quick to grant bail to men arrested for possessing and carrying guns. The magistrates reply that the commissioner is endeavoring to cover up the delinquency of his de- partment by blaming it on the courts. The warden of Sing Sing prison has come forward with the most plausible explanation of the recent shootings. He says that men con- victed of bigamy and highway rob- bery are being sent up for 40 vears, whereas the penalty for second-de- gree murder only is 20 years. Cor- nered, the crook shoots for his free- dom, knowing that if captured he will get a longer tiick up the river for a robbery than he will if he mere- Iy kills his pursuer. The warden says the courts are al- most too willing to get rid of a homi- |in New York. where shootings are the | | order of the d. | break such as that which has come Indispensable in Personal Hygiene Your physician will tell you of the D. C. THURSDAY, cide case by accepting a plea of second- degree guilt where first-degree murder might be proved and death inflicted. The odd part of the situation here und the night. is that | this State has the most drastic pistol law of any commonwealth in the Union. Usually, it is a crime only to tote a pistol. Here it is a crime to | own one without a special court per- | mit. But as bootlegging thrives in the whisky business, it prospers also in the sale of deadly weapons. The law is as ineffective as if it were never passed. Its only advantage seems to lie in the fact that the finding of a revolver in suspected premises permits | the police to hold suspiclous charac- | ters for investigation and sometimes | to send them. Usually the police of any city are relentless In the pursuit of the per- son or persons who kill a fellow of- ficer. Tt s a tribal trait to search out and punish those who have struck _within your own circle. But lately New York has been baffled by some of the police killings. An out- this vear against the police always recalls the famous taxicab mysteries of a few years ago which neither haves heen solved nor plausibly ex- plained. Murders Never Solved. Toward 8 o'clock one evening a taxicab whirled onto the Queensbor- ough Bridge, in Long Island City, and headed for Manhattan. Two police- men saw it approach, and as it swept by them a woman screamed in ter- ror. The taxicab sped on. The two policemen commandeered a ing AUGUST 12, - 1926. car and ordered pursuit. As they neared the Manhattan end of the bridge they overtook the cab, and, running from the touring car, jump- ed upon the running boards of the taxi, one officer on either side. After a brief halt the taxi started afresh with the policemen in charge. It had proceeded but a block or two from the bridge terminal officer and then the other fell to the street. Both had been shot and in stantly killed. Neither occupants ever were heard of again. No one knows what the policemen saw In the cab. The situation must have heen desperate. however, to cause the occupants to kill, and vet it has been held that if the officers had found anything very serfously wrong within the cab they would have bean on their guard. The police killings have steeled the force to @ more bitter war against the city criminals, and the police com when_first one | taxicab nor | missioner believ headway toward a clean-up But as fast as one spot is swept | clear in America another seems to| bury itself in the criminal slime.

PAYMENT PLAN When You Eat Sweets and Ices 1f your teeth hurt when you eat sweets or ices, it is an in- dication that vour teeth are soft. All teeth are soft when they first come through the gums Normally they grow harder with age, because of a tooth- hardening substance in the saliva, provided to harden the teeth and counteract decay For some reason, among civ- | itized races. the saliva is often lacking the necessary concen- tration of this substance to harden teeth—especially dur- ing childhood. When the saliva lacks this hardening sulstance, the teeth become sensitive and readily decay. Former Methods Have Failed to Check Decay Until efforts to recently directed decay were mouth acids and the destruc- tion of aeid-forming bacteria, but, in spite of these efforts. decay continued. until today 97 per cent of our young peo- ple have decaved teeth! A New Princiole in Dentistry At last it was discovered that teeth either hardened or decayed. depending upon the concentration of the ejoth- hardening substance in the saliva. Then it was fovnd that when soft, sensitive teeth, under- going rapid decay, were treat- ed with a saturate solution of this substance (100 times the amount normally found in the saliva) they became very hard, sensitiveness disappeared within a surprisingly short time, and the progress of de- cay was check:.!
