N EW YORK, June 15.—(U.R)-The importance In the spring mode of the ■altered suit and the coat aa a background for a fur neckpiece is evidenced Ky t he well-dressed women who crowd the smart Gotham hotels at lunch hour. The tailored suit most in favor is one witli finger-tip or slightly shorter ■jacket developed In mannish mixtures or in covert cloth.

Kipline with tiny inverted pleats reKeased above a low waistline in the Ka<k and creating the semblence of ■ blouse.

I One of the smartest women wears ■ a short jacket suit of fine black and ■ white check while another dresses in fl a suit with two-thirds length jacket ■ made of coral red fabric of the frisca ■ tvpe and accompanied by a polka dotfl ted silk blouse of the same color anil ■ white. Occasional glimpses of bright ■or soft horizo nblue suits are seen ■ but the navy suit is conspicuous by I its absence. I A number of suits developed in I black flat crepe also are worn, usualIly made with an unlined cardigan I jacket and full pleated skirts. ‘‘ Navy is more often seen in coats which, like the suits, are merely a ground for neckpieces and these neck pieces are almost invariably silver fox frequently made of two animals skins.

HERO DE FIRST OCEAN FLIGHT LAUDS AIRSHIP Bags Not Planes To Prevail In Future, Brown Says On Anniversary London, June 15—(UP)—Ten yeara ago today a British bombing plane landed rather clumsily in a marshy field near Clifden, Ireland, after having completed the first airplane crossing of the Atlantic ocean. Exactly fifteen hours and 57 minutes earlier the plane had soared out over the trecherous Atlantic from St. John's Newfoundland, on one of the most daring and risky adventures in the history of aviation. The two tired men who climbed out of the machine into the mud were Sir Arthur Whitten Brown and the late Captain Sir John Alcock. They had conquered the Atlantic and were the winners of the $50,000 prize offered by a London newspaper for the first airplane to accomplish the feat. Sir Arthur Whitten Brown, seated In his comfortable study in his home at Langland, Swansea, South Wales, recently told the United Press that the future ot trans-Atlantic flying rests, not with the airplane, but with the airship. Even the mishap to the Graf Zeppelin has strengthened his faith in the airship. "The interrupted voyage of the Graft Zeppelin,” he said, “shows that all hough her engines were disabled she was nevertheless able to land at home in safety. One hesitates to think what might have happened to an airplane of comparable size under similar clrcustances. Foresees Aerial Tugs "The difficulties which the Graf Zeppelin encountered, and which were so admirably overcome by her commander are due in part to the Insufficient preparation which the world has so far made for aerial transport on a large scale. One can imagine how helpless a huge Atlantic liner would be at her disposal. Doubtless the future will bring forth more airships and probaly the aerial tug and the aerial tug and the aerial lifeboat.” The man who was speaking is the only surviving member of that daring first crossing. Captain Sir John Alcock was killed in December of 1919 while attempting to land his amphibian flying machine near Rouen, France. He was enroute from London to Paris when overtaken by a nasty fog. in attempting to Jand his machine without damaging it he crashed. The plane was not badly damaged but in trying to save hie machine Captain Alcock lost his own lifeOnly a short time before he, along witli Arthur Whitten Brown, had been knighted by the King in recognition of their June flight across the Atlantic. Both fliers had been witli the Royal Air Forces during the war and were cited for conspicuous bravery. Log of Flight The following log of the trip, especially prepared for the United Press by Sir Arthur, attests to the dangerous conditions under which the twe men were flying. June 14, 1919—4:12 p. in. Took off. 4:28 p. m. Crossed coast of Newfoundland on eastward course at 1000 feet. 5:20 p m. Height 1,500 feet. Wireless generator failed. 6:05 p. m.

The unexpectedness, plus absence of a turn indicator caused machine to develop a spin. Camo out ot clouds at 100 feet obtained hortzon and CaptJ Alcisk pulled machine straight and level.

Sir Arthui, who accomplished his crossing when Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh was still a school-boy of sixteen, still considers that luck, plus utmost care in preparation, are the two most vital factors in aviation. Van Hook Released Under Bond On Murder Charge Terre Haute, Inu., June 15—(UP)— Under a second degree murder indictment John Van Hook, former deputy constable, was under $25,000 bond today charged with the shooting of Austin Sweet, attorney. A first degree murder indictment against Van Hok was dismissed iu Clay circuit court upon request of the prosecution when the court held the new Indiana statute precludes conviction under such an indictment on any other charge than first degree murder.
