The Question Mark 5 rcfueling

1T Imperial county airport from
Rockwell Field at San Diego be-
.Wccu 3 and + clock this after
noon.
Roy Pcmherton, local aviator
stationed at the county flying field,
received that announcement by tele
phone from flight officials at Rock
well Field at noon today.
No other information was receiv-
Cd by Tcmorrton. Lii tine report
;aat rnc supply ship WAS scheduled

cate Major Carl Spatz, in command
IF the Question Mark, has altered
the course so that Il part of the en-
durancc flight will take place over
Imperial Valley.
According to original plans, the
army monoplane was to fly over
Imperial Valley during part of the
test but that was abandoned and
fuel ship No. stationed here Sun
day, was returned to Los Angeles.
Fogs and other adverse weather
conditions existing on the coast
were believed to have caused off
cials to make plans for the Ques-
tion Mark : flight here.
Los ANGELES, Jan. 3. The
army plane Question Mark, writing
aviation history, continued through
today plying a monotonous but rec
ord breaking course between San
Diego and Van Nuys.
The three engines of the craft
We're functioning without a miss, the
crew was happy and army officials
predicted the Question Mark would
shattcr all aircraft sustained flight
records.
The plane successfully passed its
4Sth consecutive hour in the air-at
7:26:47 a. m. while over the Van
NuyS airport and shortly thereaf
ter turned south again to San Diego.
One record already has fallen be-
fore the Question Mark, the Amer
lean rcfueing endurance record of
81 hours and - minutes set by Its.
Lowell Smith and Paul Richter in
and army plane in 1923 at San Die
go.
The motors and the men appeared
good for a long grind today. Mess
ages from the plane said no engine
trouble has been experienced and the
five army officers comprising the
crew seemed to be taking the flight
rs holiday event.
Fog at San Diego kept the ship
circling over Los Angeles and ad
iacent cities through the night and
fuel was taken ON three times at
Van Nuys field.
en- the first contact, established
after some difficulty in the dark
morning hours, 100 gallons of gaso-
line passed from the Van Nuys re-
fucling ship to the Question Mark.
On the second, 100 gallons were
transferred as the rs hour mark pass

|DRESSY TOUCHES ARE IN VOGUE
 FOR WINTER TIME ACCESSORIES
BN HENRI BENDEU

New York, Dec. 10 - In the new feminine mode. the importance ot accessories stress the truth in that old saying, Tt is the little things
 that count.'
 Certain it is that women must be more than careful in their choice of accessories this winter. For with the advent of more femininity, dreSsicr touches are in vogue. and unless these are restrained and in good ! taste they can utterly destroy that weli-groomed, correct look that wo- men desire.
 Costume jewelry is greatly in
 vogue and one of the worst pitfalls, for some of It is so cheap and vul- sar-looking that no woman should wear it. Other pieces, however, are | conservatively designed. made of good materials and color and are pleasantly decorative to ones cos tune.
 Neck lacos tend to bo much more graceful than last year. By this l mean that, instead Of heavy ropes Of pearls or other beads, the newer necklaces have q fine strand of deli cate metal. crystal of rhinestone. cir cling the back of the neck, with
 two, three or four pearl strands swinging from the front. The pearl necklace invariably has some bril- liants in it, rondclls of crystal, in
 scts of rubies and cmcralds. and often a handsome pendant of dia- monds and pearls. Some new pcaIl necklaces incorporate into the sides
 oi their strands heirloom earrings get flat in a link, or use as a pend- ant an antique brooch of carved gold.
 Necklaces in the Feminine Mode, Too
 Necklaces for daytime are shorter and for night wear longer than be. fore. The in-bctWcen necklace is not so good. The best of the costume
 iewelry has fine workmanship and
 is delicate and feminine rather than bizarre and modern.
 Purses provide plentifully for various occasions. Leather and fab- rc morning purses are apt to be oblong, medium sized or even large
 shapes, with handbags as popular
 as envelopes. For afternoon, they appear in soft suedes, brocades and fine fabrics, smaller, often narrow across and long up and down or round, octagonal or other unusual
 shapes. They have fine fastenings,
 monOGrams in brilliants being q
 good choice, and some are decorated
 with real jewels. Evening purses
 are brilliant, scintllating pastel col
 ored and gold or silver confcctions,
 lined with gorgeous moirc. many
 fitted with handsome evening com-
 p"cts with perfume bottles.
