The black widow spider is either

ing qualities we're first discovered
it is being recognized more widely.
h. Certainly during the last year
reports of its activities come from
many parts Of the United States
where it has not been seen before.
It was in 1926 that attention was
first directed to it in this country
and then mostly from California,
later tn. southern states. In 1896,
D'Amour found that no black
widow spiders had been reported
from Oregon, Minnesota, Wiscon.
sin, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois a q
Vermont. But last year the medical
literature had reports OF cases
from Missouri and Iowa, as well as
several from the northern Atlantic
states.
It is a very prolific animal.
have seen in a museum show Ease
in Santa Barbara, California, a
newly Matched BROOD should say
there were thousands of little
br.wn Indignantly active animals
all from a single widow" mother.
The black widow lives in dark
places-privies, corners OF old
barns, woodpiles, in holes and
cracks in the ground. I found one
in the end of a drain from the
caves of my house in California.
The presence of the enemy may
also be suspected becuse Of the

October.

think it just a scratch or a splinter

on subsequent events becarse the
symptoms coming on All nour Or
more later may be severe abdomi-
nal pain which has been mistaken
for appendicitis or other abdominal
emergency. Singing pains in the
back and muscles, nausea and
shock are usual symptoms.
The treatment is morphine for
the pain, calcium salts in the vein
and treatment Of shock. Hot baths
if there is not too much weakness
give great relief.

STAINLESS STEEL
PLANES PLANNED
Wings For Army Plane Are
Now Being Manufac-
tured For Tests
BY v FRANCIS

Associated Press Aviation Editor
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 1s.-R-
For several years, now, certain
members of the American engineer.
ing fraternity have been talking
about making "iron' airplanes, and
today planes with a good deal of
iron in them actually are being fab
ricated.
1t is not iron, OF course. It is
stainless steel, containing iron, and
the material-one of the toughest
of the worlds alleged metals-prom-
Uses to open up eventually a COM
pletely new field of airplane fab
rication.
What this is going to mean in
terms of accelerated national de-
tense can be cleaned from the fact
that it takes one-fortieth of the time
to spot-weld stainless steel sheets
as it does to rivet other metals com.
monty used in aircraft construction.
A half dozen stainless steel planes
have been fabricated for private use
by Fleetwings, Inc, at Bristol, Pa,
but nothing approaching large.scale
production, and nothing of a mill
tary character, has been attempted
in the steel plane field before.
Test wings for one type Of U. S.
Army air corps plane are being man
ufactured by the Edward G.. Budd
company here. and flight expert.
ments on them probably will be con-
cluded in another six months.
Stainless steel has been known for
more than 80 years. 1t Is used for
cutlery, kitchen sinks and stream
lined railway trains. It is virtually
~corrosion proof. It is the worlds
strongest structural material. 1t has
the highest impact" value. 1t re-
sists what metallurgists know as
fatigue" under constant strain.
I saw an engineer boot a sheet
of toughened stainless steel no thick
er than a calling card without put
ing q mark on it.
The magic of stainless steel lie
in the way it is fabricated. AND
therein, too, lies the possibility o.
much more rapid warplane con
| struction.
Outstanding among the tedious
processes affecting the pace OF the
| nations rearmament program Is the
riveting together Of shaped meta
sheets. Riveting. in fact, has beer
called n Of the bottle-neeks OF the
program. A large army OF skhiee
and s~emi.skilled workmen is employ
ed in this work.
Welding is both faster and sim
pier, and proponents of 1t insist
makes a stronger structure thar
riveting.

JAPS TO REJECT
SHANGHAI ACCORD
Government To Re.
fuse To Share Control
With Marines

SHANGHAI, Aug. 16.-RCThe
japanese government will not give
its approval to the Shanghai de-
tense commanders decision to split
control Of the British defense area
among United States and japanese
forces, a Japanese naval spokes'
man declared today.
His statements made clear that
the entire problem created by Brit
aims decision to withdraw e
troops from Shanghai still is IN
solved as far as the Japanese are
concerned, with the outcome poss-
ible depending on how far the Unit
ed States is prepared to 60 to en-
force the defense committees de.
cision.
That decision, which was approx
ed today by the Shanghai Munich
pal council, is contingent on &C.
ceptance by the governments con
cerned. It was reached Thursday
in a four-hour meeting in which
British and American votes carried
over japanese opposition. Italy,
fourth country represented, failed
to vote.
The Japanese spokesman today
definitely indicated the Japanese
would be unwilling to accept any
arrangements except their own de-
mand that the entire British area
defense committee would be called
additional final proposals" a
that in the meantime the Japanese
would consider yesterdays COM
mittee agreement only tentative
and not final"
The spokesman said:
In view Of the actual situation
in this area, Japanese authorities
have demanded as a matter Of
course that the defense sector eva
cuated by the British be transfer
red to japanese forces. No ar.
rangement without consent Of the
Japanese authorities will be prac.
teal -. any arrangement to which
the Japanese commander objects
will not be approved by the Japan.

In view Of the fact the inter.
national settlement is used as a
base Of operations by Chinese ter
rosists," he added, the Japanese
hope to take over defense of the
entire settlement" 4

it could surely lay the responsible

present diplomatic phase OF the
Italian Greek conflict with the OBJ
