WINTER JEWELRY IS RED, WHITE AND BLUE By HAZEL REAVIS (Associated Press Feature Editor) 12.—The furore PARIS, Oct. of flag Scarves and flag colored sport ensembles has died down with the summer sun, but the tricolor goes waving on in the form of costume jewelry for win- ter. Ornaments of semi - preciolis character are bigger and bright- er than ever. Some of the new red, white and blue necklaces are half as thick as the wrists of the girls who wear them. They are made of small beads twisted to- gether rope-fashion. Other colors than red, white and blue also are employed for necklaces, sometimes in a grand hodge-pedge of multi-colored beads. Choker necklaces of vari- colored glass discs as big as 25 cent pleces are a phase of cos- tume jewelry. There are modernistic choker collars made of flat metallic discs in a ariety of shapes. Some are strung like Congo ornaments of primitive derivation. Imitation and genuine Algerian and Moroc- can jewelry of gilded silver and unpolished precious stone is hav- ing a vogue. Colored costume jewelry is er than crystal, but the chains of cut stones popular last sefison are still extensivelys used. Most of them are longer than they were last season, and in- stead of reaching a few inches below the throat extend to the' waist or hang open like a sautoir with loose ends nearly touching the hem of the dress. Such chaons are also worn with the ends hanging down in back, sometimes nedarly touching the shoe heels. New twisted bead collars are copied in coral and small beads of semi-precious’ quartz like tur- quoise and jade. They usually have matching earrings which are pear shaped or balls covered with small beads and hung from delicate silver or gold chains. ] | LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 12 |It wasn’t the pld, adage that to |have a job well done is to do it |yourself that caused Dr. Robert |Meals to remave his own appen- |dix while lying on an operating [table in a hospital here. | The surgeon declared that the operation was an experiment to verify previous conclusions that the shock patients suffered from operations was laigely due to an- aesthesia, vather ihan the opera- tion itself. ‘Three days #fte? the operation, Dr. Meals said: “I feel well enough to get up and walk.
