[RS. ELAINE BARRYMORE, who is in the midst of her first big quarrel with her husband, Mr. John Barrymore, since their marriage last November after two years tempestuous courtship, believes that a career should come before marriage.

"Choose me or a career," were the alternatives which, she says, her husband gave her.

Her reply is, "I hope John will be sensible and return home, but it is my work that counts.

GROUND AID IN FOG FLIGHTS

By As Aeronautical Correspondent

London, Jan 10. The Air Ministry has deelded to adopt de-teers for Royal Air Force bombing aeroplanes, and it has given instructions that provision is to be made for them in new machines.

Consideration is also to be given to elaborating Royal Air Force ground aids to navigation so as to enable bad weather dying to be done with; greater security.

Evidence given at the inques: at Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, recently, on the three Royal Air Force men who were killed when their neroplane crashed on December 12, showed that the seven heavy bombers which were trying to fly from Alder strove to Finningley were troubled | with see accretion and with absence of wireless information from Fin-

GROUND ASSISTANCE Improvement in the ground aids to Royal Air Force navigation is likely to be modelled on commercial avia tion practice. Commercial pilols are renowned for their ability to pierce bed weather and fog, and this is partly attributable to the zone system of wireless control. The progress of the aeroplane is followed by the ap- propriate ground station all the time it is within its area. As it passes to another area it is "handed over" to another wireless station.

For long distance bombing flights. In bad weather it is obvious that Royal Air Force machines must be capable of flying without ald from the ground; but it seems that in peace-time exercises they should be able to call for ground assistance at any time and from any place. There ahould also be a proportion of RAF. aerodromes equipped with blind landing devices. At present none are so equipped.
