FLIERS DREAO SUDDEN FOGS OF MOUNTAINS Pennsylvania Airways Constantly Menaced by Sudden Appearance — By James A. Sullivan United. Press Staff Correspondent HARRISBURG, Pa. (U.R)—Situden fogs, rolling “out of nowhere" make flying over the Pennsylvania mountains one of aviation's most hazardous feats. It takes a steady toll of human life. Aviators dread the suddenness with which the fog enshrouds the ! mountain areas. Meterologists. seeking to explain the condition.; have reached no solution. The | iState Aviation Committee, power- 1 less to control the natural element, can only issue warnings on ■ conditions. (air mail pilots read such warn- | ings and push on for “the mail must go through." Commercial transport companies receive the warnings and cancel trips until the weather clears. Fog Fatal to Women It was such a fog that, cost the lives of Mrs. Ruth Stewart. St. Louis, and Mrs. Debbie Stanford., Camden. N. Y., in a flight from , Pittsburgh to Harrisburg. "Flying conditions across the | Pennsylvania mountains are not ’ paralleled anywhere in the United; States." an_ official of the avia tion commission said. "The mountains themselves artsafe for flying. The state and federal governments have taken every known means to chart the mountain territory, to lay out safe [ air routes, to establish emergent-1 landing fields and lighted airways and to provide fliers with accurate and timely weather bulletins across the mountain belt, over which are three important air routes. "But we can’t control the fog.' It comes out of nowhere. It lays close to the mountain tops and brings the ceiling close to the ranges. “Blind” Flying "Fliers, who seek to navigate above the fog hanks are without landmarks to guide them and are "blind" in coming down to find their landing place, the official explained. Those who fly beneath

The style show has proclaimed ! Spring while the first robin is still taking sunbaths away down south. Yet one can readily understand a wo nan's enthusiasm after seeing the colorful parade of the Fashions-to-be. Colorful is not loosely used 1 here. Degression regardless, never , before was there a style exhibition of such grandeur. Os the llu creations displayed a great many owed their color keynote to the George Washington Bicentennial. occurring this year, tor reds, whites and 'blues predominated in patriotic contrasts. All the exhibits were of lively hues and slightly longer than the current mode. Sports skirts were 10 to 12 inches from the floor, some even featuring an abbreviated train. Fr r formal evening wear the smartest colors are corsair bine and while, chanteuse and muiuerry, the fog blanket are in danger of crashing into one of the mountain peaks jutting into the enshrou led area.” . The State Aviation Commission, under the direction of Phllin Dewey, its chairmnni and Iso Hie ' State Secretary of Internal Affairs, is seeking tp make flying safe in Pennsylvania. Airplane state fatalities in 1930 aggregated 15 persons killed in ' nine accidents; and in 1931. 25 killed iij 16 accidents. The com- ! mission reports did not show the ! location of these a -cidents. n< ■' tlie causes, but many of them are ■ generally due to the fog. ♦ — * Killer Was Patient At Local Hospital Walter Hoffman, who shot and [ killed his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin N. Hofftnan, at their home four miles west of Monroeville. I Sunday evening, was a patient nt I the Adams County Memorial hospital, September 30. 1931, it was' announced by Miss Emilie C.

Thief Uses Bicycle Indianapolis, Jan. 27- (UP)—Detectives who today questioned Herbert Johnson, 18, were amazed when Johnson admitted that he was responsible for at least 39 robberies and burglaries here during recent , months. They couldn’t understand how Johnson, who didn't have an auto, covered the wide area in ' which the thefts occurred. Johnson smiled as he explained his means of transportation.
