BUZZARDS MAY
 LOCATE CORPSE

That everyone who notices buzzards flying about, watch where they alight and investigate, was the significant re- quest made by Constable Roy Morrell yesterday.
 The officer. who Is leading in the search for the body of Kenneth C. Fol- ston who disappeared on the twentieth of last month, asks that the thousands of people who are daily travelling back and forth over toWn country. desert and mountain roads-watch buzzards. He believes that by this means some one will discover the body of the man whose disappearance has baffled the authorities
 Yesterday Morrell searched the Cave Creek country going over the McDow- ell road on to Tempe and the Yaqui lands before returning to the city. He win continue his man hunt this morning.
 In the meantime the sheriffs depu- ties arc devoting time to the same cause Great stretches of country have been traversed in an effort to find some trace of the missing man.

CAMP FUNSTON, Kan. Oct. ID
Thirteen conscientious objectors who
have refused to do work OF any kind
in camp or wear any clothing except
that which they wore when they
came here received a cleaning up
on orders from the medical depart
ment None OF the men had bathed
or changed their clothing since com
ing here and the medical officers rec
commended they be scrubbed, receive
a change OF clothing, and have their
hair and whiskers trimmed to the
regulation military style for sanitary
reasons.
The objectors had refused to re-
move their clothing or bAthe them
selves and did nothing but cry and
pray. Their only statement was, "Its
against our religion" The soldiers
had TO undress them, battle and shave
them, and then put the clean cloth

SILK ARMOR USED
BY ALLIED TROOPS;
INDUSTRY ISA|DED

NEW YORK, Oct. 26-what has
been regarded as more or less Of a
silk trade mystery has now been par
TALLY made clear by a man who has
lust returned from France. Ever since
the war started a large Quantity OF
American silk fabric has been quietly
and steadily shipped abroad, leaving
a scarcity which has been distinctly
felt by the trade. The destination
and use of this silk has now been
made public by the allied war depart
ments.
Early In the war It was discovered
II the soldiers wore silk next TO the
-'-'> .L~-a was rnUrh less dnnzrr from
blood poisoning II the silk fabric were
uIl,en INTO the wound than in the
case of cotton or wool. This diseov-
cry resulted in a special silk, pre-
pared by a secret process. which is
used by all war departments.
silk ResIsts BrIlets.
Then it was found that SiIlS pos-
sesses extraordinary resistance TO GER
tam explosives much used in the early
stages Of the war and while these
were used. silk prepared by tnctrer
secret process was used 70 -ounteract
them. Powder bags and cartridge
belts are also protected by the non
infiammable silk.
The third and most important dis
covery was that when silk is woven
and prepared in a certain way, IT OF
fers unexpected resistance 20 proJec.i
tiles. This discovery, made by the
Chinese ages ago, has been turned to
good account by the allied armies. A
great deal of silk has thus been used
and this partly accounts for Its
scarcity.
While most silk interests believed
the war would ruin this industry,
time and such unexpected uses of silk
as outlined above have made II more
prosperous than ever before Au-
thorities predict 1t will still be better
in years to come.

overtaken by death the very day
he started out on a new job, the body
of Stephen Tinney, seventy-year-old
shoemaker, OF log North Fairfax
street, Alexandria, Va, today lies At

at all, for Tinney, so far as the police
know, lived alone and has no rela-
ttves.
Positive Identification was made to-
day by the Fifth precinct from state
ments OF the aged and solitary mans
neighbors. Tinney reported to start
work yesterday at the shop Of George
Jennings, 1882 Pennsylvania avenue

maker, but business was better here
than in the neighboring town, he
explained. He dropped dead while at
work Coroner hewitt will issue q
certificate of death from natural
causes.
