FIND MANS SKELETON
Lumbermen Solve Mystery Of Aged
Persons Disappearance.

Persons Disappearance.
The mysterious disappearance Of
Smith Flohr, an eighty-year-old noun
taineer of Mountaindale. Pennsylvania,
missing since August 20, and for whom
search covering the Blue Ridge
mountains for miles around has been
going on since, was solved when two
lumbermen, John Brown and Solo
mon Nom, while passing through a
densely wooded section Of the noun
tains near Old Forge, stumbled across
the skeleton of man. Near by
a hat and coat enabled the discov-
erers of the body to identify it as that
of Flohr.
On the day Of the old mountaineer's
disappearance he had been visiting a
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 mountains.
From that moment until his skeleton
was discovered about mile from the
main mountain road. his whereabouts
puzzled the countryside. 1t is now as
sumed that he became confused, wan
dered into the thicket and after becom-
ing exhausted, collapsed, and later died
of starvation.

Mankind SUSPICIOUS.

The flesh of the shark is sold tc re-
semble that of the sturgeon-the fish
that "goes to the Caesars DISH" but
its cannibalistic reputation, firmly
fixed in the popular mind, is against
it. Mans dread of the gastronomically
untried is only equaled by his curios-
ity, which after all gets the better Of
his fears. Truly he was brave man
who first swallowed a raw oyster.

Essex Qualities MOI Comparable


No other ONE car is like the Essex in degree
of beauty, comfort performance or endurance.
Other ears closely match it in some of these
particulars. But those who attempt to de-
scribe the Essex use a dozen different we'll
known makes for comparison.
Its hghness and cost are compared to the
cars best known for their class. Performance
comparisons go INTO the high-prieed car field
ESSEX speed, Essex aeceleration and Essex
hin climbing are almost invariably stated in
terms OF such performance as are made by
ears best known in those particulars.
The finest and costest closed cars are re-
fered to as being the nearest to Essex in rid
ing quality
Cars that have proved their leadership in
the field Of endurance are the standard by
which the long lie Of the Essex is measured

Advertise the Essex

We have found no way to describe the Essex
that is half so Impressive as an actual ride
in the car
The Essex was announced with the state
ment that it was to be advertised by those who
would ride in It. The car would not be adyer-
tsed as other cars have been advertised.
No claims would be made for it. People
were asked to go see it take a ride and we
would rely upon it's quality 70 speak lol itself
You know how the Essex has won It's place
by what people are saying about it.
On the first day the Essex was shown
January 10th close to five thousand people
in all parts Of the country responded TO The
invitation to ride in the Essex

But users of good light weight cars are the
most urgent supporters of the ESSEX.
They see IN ii all the advantages they know
in their cars, with the additional qualities Of
cars that cost two and three times as much
as they have paid for their automobiles.

months premiums on the amount of in
surance to be reinstated, one covering
the month of grace during which the
policy was in force, and one for the
month in which reinstatement is made.
This is very generous provision, and
will make it possible for all ex-service
men to retain their government insur-
ance after they have become adjusted
again in their normal civil life Indeed,
l look for very heavy reinstatement
and conversion as soon as the Sweet
bill passes the senate and becomes an
act and 1t is made known to all those
who are affected.
'The bureau appreciates tremendous
ly the cooperation it has had from
the insurance officials and the men of
the insurance profession, and it Is to
be regretted that there are some few
who disregarded their moral obligation
to assist the ex-service men by encour-
aging the men to drop their govern
ment insurance and take out insurance
In private companies. 1t is my per-
sOnal opinion that all ex-service men
in such instances should combine in
their disapproval Of such action, and
should in some forceful way express
their utter disgust for those who are
found guilty Of such practices. Indeed,
in the years to come, feel confident
that in such cases where ex-service
men have been advised in such way as
to allow them to lose their government
insurance, that there will be at least
one man in the world whom the ex-
service men will utterly despise, and
distrust, and that will be the I'M
scrupulous agent who in a time of test
was found wanting"

Col. Edwin Jadwin, now in command
Of one Of the engineer regiments In
France, disregarded war department
red tape, formalities and regulations,
to get his troops over to France fully
equipped for work. The record made
by Colonel Jadwin in getting his men
speedily ready for service and the eff.
cheney of his work has already been
the subject Of widespread comment in
army circles. 1t develops now that the
reason for his success was primarily
due to the fact that he ignored red
tape membranes which are required
legally by the present system. 1t will
be for Secretary Baker to decide
whether Col. Jadwin is to escape the
remonstrance that attaches to his
course or whether he will be COM
mended for his initiative and his sue
cess.

important Amendments in Bill
Are Asked of National
Lawmakers.
REVISE SCHEDULE UPWARD
Increased Compensation for Disabled
Ex-servlce Men 10 Uroed-sureau
Seeks to Give Fullest Possible
Service to Those Affected.

WashingtOn.-"Our work in conduct
ing the affairs of the bureau must be
guided by the counsel of the soldiers,
sailors and marines themselves. Our
aim is to be of the fullest possible serv-
Ice to those affected by the act"
Thus Colonel r. G. Cholmeley-Jones,
director Of the bureau of war risk in
surance, in the course of a talk to
wounded soldiers at Walter Reed hos
pital. Washington, D. c., epitomized
the motives behind the action of the
bureau in requesting congress, through
the treasury department, to enact sew
eral important amendments to the war
risk insurance act. These may be d.
vided into two general classes-those
affecting the compensation features Of
the act, and those concerning war
risk Insurance.
A very important proposed amend
ment. and one which meets with wide
spread approval, is the upward revi-
sion of the schedule of compensation
payable to disabled ex-service men.
Under the present schedule a man to-
tally disabled Is entitled to $50 a
month, If single. The amendment
raises this by $50, making $50 pay
able under these circumstances. If he
has wife but no child living he gets
$45; the amendment provides $50. If
he has wife and one child, he draws
at present, $55; the amendment gives
him 500.
Extend the Provisions.
The law now provides that If man
loses both hands, both feet, or the
sight Of both eyes, or becomes helpless
and permanently bedridden, he shall
receive 500 month compensation.
Experience has shown that many men
who have lost an arm and a leg, or one
limb and the sight of one eye, are just
as badly crippled as men who have
lost both feet or both hands, and so
the bureau has recommended that in
addition to the injuries at present en-
titling man to compensation at the
rate Of 500 month, the following
shall be included: The loss of one foot
and one hand; the loss of one foot and
the sight Of one eye. These are deem
ed "total and permanent disability" by
the express wording of the amend
ment. There Is also provision that
for double total permanent disable
ity," meaning cases in which men are
MANNED so seriously that their injuries
include two Of these classifcations, the
compensation shall be 5000 month.
The bureau has found very wide
spread sentiment among ex-service
men In favor Of having their policies
made payable in lump sum, or In in
stallments covering a short period Of
time, at their option. To meet this
demand Director Cholmeley-Jones has
urgently recommended modification
Of the war risk insurance act to permit
making provision in the contract for
converted insurance for optional set
Elements on the part Of the insured,
making such insurance payable either
in one sum or In installments for thir-
ty-six months or more.
If the insured has not exercised his
right of election. under the proposed
amendment the beneficiary may elect
to receive the insurance in monthly

Fish Made Newfoundland Famous.


New fOundland is the place where
cod liver oil comes from and transat.
lantic planes go from. But, in the re-
cent excitement over transOcean flights,
the cod liver Oil and the Goldfish that
furnish it have been nearly forgotten
by most of us.
Newfoundland has the greatest cod
fisheries in the world. The annual
catch is estimated at 100000 quintals
"a Quintal being one-twentieth of
ton.
One-half of this catch is exported.
and its value is about $6,OOO.OO0. Most
of the cod is dried before it is ex-
ported.
