F-5,L NAVAL PLANES REST
v ON MAINLAND OF MEXICO
NC Machines May Join Others at
Banderas Bsy

San, Diego, Calf. Jan. 3.-By A.
PA day of rest for the crews and
minor repairs for the planes was ahead
of the F-5-L section of the navy's San
Diego Panama aerial expedition at Ban
deras bay on the mainland of Mexico
today. However, it was thought likely
the NC sections, planes and 9, which
were at Magdalcna bay on the coast of
Lower California yesterday, might at
tempt today to fly on to Banderas bay,
where the twelve lighter craft arrived
last Saturday.
The F-5-L craft have covered about
third of the southwark fight with a
perfect record. The hop" made by the
NC-5 from San Diego to Magdelena
bay, 702 miles, without stop, leads
naval officers here to feel confident,
however, that the NC planes will over
take the F-5-L section and finish the
fight on time.
The New Years Day fight of the
F-5-L's covered the southern stretch
of the Gulf Of California. The next
stage will be south along the Mexican
coast to Acapulco, distance of 439
miles.

size. The other men told Mr.. Bowser
that il he would start the boat for

of the fish. He agreed to this and, by
sheer good luck, he got the boat started

Trees In the Parlor.

In Maine the latest thing Is to have
trees In the parlor. Frank Anderson
of Patten finds three young birches
a great decoration for his bungalow
on the shores of Shinn Pond. To be
exact he has the pleasure of gazing
mainly upon their silver trunks, for
the greater part of the fronds stand
high above the roof, finding the way
to sun and rain through convenient
holes. To allow them to sway with
the passing breeze, as all birches like
to do, he has made the holes very
large, but to protect the heads of his
guests and his family he has cleverly
tackled a waterproof cloth to the roof
and TO the trunk and plastered the
edges together with cement so that
the joints are %watertight. Now he
can sit In his armchair tilted back to
nature under his own roof tree.
