LOSS OF CYCLOPS is
A BATTLING MYSTERY
Worldwide Hunt For Missing Yes.
sci Ayails Nothing.

Grouped with the great fotilla OF
missing ships that have put to sea and
never reached port. is the U. s. S
Cyclops. whose name has been strick-
en- from the United States naval reg
istry.
There has been no more baffins
mystery in the annals of the navy
says Secretary Daniels. in his an
nual report. referring to the disap-
pearance of the vessel.
Probably not until the sea gives Ut
it's secrets will the fate of the Cy-
clops be known. For months the sim
gle word, missing" was written op-
posite her name. During that time
all the resources of the United States
and the allied governments were
drawn upon TO find the vessel or learn
her fate They avaiied nothing.
Unlike most of the vessels that the
sea has swallowed and left no trace
the Cyclops was a modern steamship
of 10000 tons. equipped with wireless
and every device known to safeguard
the ship and those on board. She
was we'll officered and had a crew OF
213. There were also 81 passengers

FOLK ARE TERROR
lied BY STRANGE BUG

New Orleans-Here is an oppor-
tunity for some rising light in the en-
genealogical world to distinguish him
self.
Down Barataria way they have a
new bug Albert Fleming, of the
Fleming plantation, formerly the
Berthold plantation. brings news of it
to New Orleans, where he is visiting
friends.
1t isn't an ordinary bug, by any
means. Old Creole settlers say they
remember having met it once before,
but so long ago that they can't re-
member the date. 1t doesn't prey on
the crops; the Barataria population
wishes it did. It's feeding habits, in
stead, are identical with those of the
mosquito. Otherwise. 1t has bite
which makes the advances of full
grown swamp mosquito seem like a
gentle caress. Also, it is about the
size and build of mature beetle and
flies like humming bird.
There aren't clouds of them-yet"
said Mr.. Fleming Saturday. "If there
were, we'd have to move. But there
ARE enough so that pretty nearly ev-
eryone has been stung once or twice,
and the whole parish is trying to find
out what the bug is

ing boat-Genesta, Capt. G. F. Dob

DRESSMAKING? TOO SLOW!
BOBBY HOLDS MAN JOB
She Dispenses Gas to Autos and Cheer
to Drivers.

st. Paul, Minn.-Bobby Moorah was
a dressmaker before she became an
autocrat, regulating with character
istic depotism the destinies of hun
dreds of almost empty gas tanks that
daily come rumbling up on four
wheels to the oil filling station of the
Hoff Oil Company, Sixth street and
Main avenue, to meet the verdict of
23h cents per, or thereabouts.
And Bobby must have been a cork
ing good dressmaker, too; yet, a de-
signer of unusual creative ability, for
that nifty khaki uniform she wears
while regulating the automatic filling
devices fairly fascinates the fair occu
pants of the big touring cars, while
the drivers almost forget to squeeze
the last drop of gasoline from the rub
Der hose after the tanks quit spout
ing.
Bobby Moorah probably is the first
young woman to preside over an oil
filling station in st. Paul, and it's a
pretty safe bet that many man is
| burning more gasoline than necessary
just to get back quickly so Bobby can
wait on him again, and the threatened
10 cent tax on gas probably doesn't
concern her the least bit
OF course, her mother never
thought of calling her Bobby, so the
perfectly feminine name of Hazel
was wished upon her when she was a
very little girl way down south on the
Isle of Pines, where she was born,
but Hazel didn't sound just right on
the job she now holds, so she consent
ed to the change.
Coming to the States, Miss Moorah
attended school at Ithaca and at Cor
nell, and later took up dressmaking,
principally, she AYERS, that she might
be capable of designing her own
clothes. Then the war came on with
its demand on the supply of young
men, and Bobby decided to get into
the mechanical end of the automobile
business.
Last summer she worked as an ap-
prentice mechanic and learned ever
so many interesting things about an
automobile besides the fact it will
carry passengers, break down in an
emergency, and violate traffic laws.
J Later she took a fling at running
an elevator.
Recently she applied for job n
