It does not matter whether you are going in for the high Spanish headdress or are wearing your hair in the low roll, the comb is the thing that fashion decrees. Combs are being shown in all sizes and shapes, the bigger the better. The immense comb shown in the top picture is of ornate design and is used to top off an elaborate coiffure. The wide comb in the lower picture is worn with the aimple bun, the hair being smoothly combed back from the forehead.

It is officially stated that the airship carried thirty-two British, of whom eight were officers, nineteen other ranks and five civilian experts. There were seventeen Americans on board, of whom six were officers and eleven other ranks. Altogether five are reported to have been saved from forty-nine, but it is coficially learned that the sole American survivor thereof has since died from injuries. The four others comprise Commander Wars and another, both of whom are injured and two uninjured.

The wreck lies half a mile southwards of Corporation Pier in two portions and is invisable at high tide. One of the survivors Leading Aircraftsman Davies-describing the accident, said it was all over in a moment. The petrol tanks exploded, volumes of smoke and fire issued therefrom and some men jumped overboard, but he stack to the ship and went down with the stern section, which stuck 9 a little sand bank where he was rescued. Some poor fellows had no chance whatever, particularly those in the control car. At the time of the disaster R23 was to carry out her fourth long trial, with additional modifications rendered necessary from experience in actual ring. The third trial on July 17th lasted nine hours when a speed of fifty knots was easily obtained during the flight. It was found that the girders amidships weakened. The flight was never- theless continued and as a result of the experience the girders were subsequently reinforced.
