FIND SKELETON OF

wAYNEsBoRO, Ohio, Dec. %
mysterious disappearance Of Smith
Flohr, an eighty-two-year-old noun
taineer OF Fountaindale, near here,
who had been missing since August
20 and for whom a search covering
the Blue Ridge mountains for miles
around has been going on since, was
solved when two lumbermen, John
Brown and Solomon Nom, while pass
ing through a densely wooded section
of the mountains near Old Forge.
stumbled across the skeleton Of a man.
Near by a hat and coat enabled the
diseovererS of the body to identify it
a. that of Flohr.
On the day of the old mountaineer's
disappearance he had been visiting q
son, Irwin s. Flohr. at Mountaindale.
and decided toward evening to make
his way across to Blue Ridge Summit.
where another son, D. S. Flohr. lived,
intending to spend the night there.
Despite efforts to dissuade him, Flohr
started out across the mountain. From
the moment until his skeleton was
discovered, about a mile from the
main mountain road, his whereabouts
puzzled the countryside.
It is now assumed that he became
confused, wandered into the thicket,
and after becoming exhausted col
lapsed and later died of starvation.

agent which must connect these three
principal parts of the seaplane is a
fitting which easily might be placed
in a box 9x6hxS inches.
Nowhere else in seaplane construc-
ton, is the need for maximum
strength and minimum weight so
great. Therefore the little fitting
must be made up of several sections
sixteen in all-and of different
gauges OF steel. Three gauges are
selected which are best adapted to
the particular stress which is placed
upon each portion. -
In sixteen Sections.
The sidewalk beam hitting. which,
after all, looks like nothing more
than a small iron framework. must be
made by careful workmen and several
times examined by skilled inspectors.
On the perfect material and workman
ship of the sixteen sections depend
the work of the plane and the lives
OF its occupants. Seventy-five oper-
ations and about half as many inspec-
uons must take place before the fit
ting can find its place in the sky.
Even the cost of 500 seems very
little compared with the Importance
OF its position in the finished plane
Each OF the sixteen pieces of the
fitting has to pass through the fol-
lowing preparation before it loses its
identity by the welding: A piece of
steel must be cut out large enough
to make the part. The exact outline
is stamped. II the material and
stamping are perfect the inspector al
lows the work to proceed. A pilot
hole. located from a hardened steel
pattern, is drilled and blurred. Again
the inspector must examine the work.
The necessary ears and angles are
formed and the part Is placed with
others for a final inspection before
welding. And again IT is inspected
after welding and after installation.
The story OF complete inspection
is the story of these two parts multi
piled indefinitely. Only by such care
can dependable aircraft be con-
structed.

CENT|PEDES HELP
TO PESTER Grew

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.-More
than a billion legs cavorted through
the hold of the Norwegian bark Aus
; tralia as she came into port here car
rying ten or more million wriggling
stowaways. The crew of the OLD
square-rigged craft had only been
kept from mutiny during the voyage
by establishing a centipede watch
during which the men killed as many
of the pests as possible and drove the
others back to the cargo of green
bones from which they had emerged.
The Australia is now dischargine
its cargo at the bone wharf, 72 South
Delaware avenue. preparatory to tan
ing on a cargo of coal for South Amer
lea. She came from Buenos Aires.
She was hardly out OF port six days
when the crew was troubled with
plague of bugs, and for days at
time both offOcers and crew were COM
PEELED to forsake their quarters and
sleep on deck. The bugs were followed
several days later by a swarm of
flies, billions of them, said Boatswain
Johanson.
CentIpedes Third Plague.
Hardly had this plague disappeared
before the first centipede came on
deck. To ventilate the hold. a hatch
was left open, and the centipedes
came on deck by thousands and
basked in the moonlight.
Half a dozen members of the crew
were sent to brush the pests away.
At the first pass of their brooms the
centipedes formed into a brigade, and
while a thousand or more covered the
retreat by making a diversion in the
direction of the bare feet of the men,
the others leaped into the hold.
"They behaved themselves all'regu-
lar at first" said one of the sailors,
"and never failed to salute an officer
or to make gangway for the men.
But they got so familiar in less than a
week their ways grew annoying. 1t
