Krao, known in the circus as the “missing link,” died vesterday of in- fluenza, leaving instructions that her hairy body be cremated, so her pecu- larities could no longer be exhibited. “Despito her appearance, she was thoroughly feminine and very shy and gentle and kind, too,” sald the circus spieler, who knew her best. ‘“She spent all her spare time crocheting. | When rowdies bothered her and 1 threatened to throw them out, she would say, ‘Leave them alone.

She corresponded with this “family,” but nothing of it i3 known here. Circus tradition credits her with more than the 49 years she gave as her age, and with 40, instead of 30, years of circus wandering. The Stamese villagers told Prof. Farini that Krao's mother was frightened by a baboon shortly before Krao was born. Prof. Farini took her to Berlin and exhibited and educated her there be- fore she came to America. CYANAMIDE FILM HEAD EXPLAINS HIS SHOALS BID W. B.
