Tlie hunc French plane, the "Yellow Bird," is on her way 1o Hie landing' field near 1'aiis with tliree plueky young Frenchmen in charge. f If they succeed, as every American hopes they will, it will not be u duplication uf Lindbergh's feat. He flew alone, and without stopping, from Xew York to J'arisi That will be done before long as a regular part of commercial flying. Hut nobody, ever again, will do it FOR THE FIRST TIME. Young ladies may resume their dreams. A "high court official" says the Prince of Wales isn't engaged to Prin cess Ingrid of Sweden. Ami the rumor is "vexatious to Eng lish royalty." New York newspapers have printed pages about "the torch murder." It was a crime un usually vile and cruel,.the mur derer setting fire to a woman to get rid of her. M Crime ceases to be news in these crime days. Hut you ob serve with some interest that, whereas in the average killing, police find empty gin bottles, in this atrocious crime they find little. vials that contained mor phine pills. Iiishop McCoimell, of the New York Methodist Episcopal area, can't be principal speaker at a convention in Denver be cause he is unsound in his be liefs. The bishop, it seems, does not believe that the sun stopped on lis journey around the world when told to do so by Jobua, that he might have more day light for fighting. Hishop McC'ounell goes so far ns to say that the sun doesn't really go round the earth. Also, the bishop doesn't be licve that Jonah, even if the whale did swallow him, could have lived comfortably in its stomach for some time, going ahead about his business when restored to land. Jonah could not have lived without, air while the whale was submerged, says the mod ernist bishop. How many of the clergymen that reject Hishop McC'ounell really believe the things that be does not. believe?

The action ut the rapitol fol lowed ri decision earlier in the day of the joint conference committee recommending ell m hint ion of t:ie debenture proposition us a result of the overwhelming house vote against it. With the disposition of the farm uuestlon, congress cleared the legislative slate of the main task for which It was called into extraordinary session by Mr. Hoo ver. The bill as enacted resembles closely the original house measure, which had the endorsement -of the chief executive. This led to pre dictions from practically all quar ters thai t he measure would re ceive a prompt signature by the president. House approval of the compro mise bill was perfunctory, but the senate vote was delayed by pro tests from senators who favor the export debenture plan. No roll call vote was taken in the house.

IIS LIKES i INVITATION A LIVELY BALL Magnates See No Detraction By Use of Present Pill New Cover Process Lends Distance Yanks Shy-On Home Runs. By Alan J. ;uhl. Associated Tress Sports Editor. XEW YORK, June 1. (P) Baseball magnates see no reason to view the home-run epidvnuc or its cause, the lively hall, with alarm. Quite the contrary, in fact, they are willing to admit the ball is lively, perhaps a little livelier than in 1 !N ; furthermore, th.it the customers as well as the play ers like it. In substance, this Is the word brought buck by ' John Arnold lleydler, the National league's chief executive, after a trip through the western part of the circuit th.tt included a session of the club own ers, who M r. I leydler said, have concluded that nothing needs to he done about it whatever. They find ready explanations for the big in crease in homo-runs in the rise of a group of new sluggers. Kssen tlally they consider the ball mi different from that of last year, but if It is at all livelier it is due to a slight change in the cover by which, through a new process, the surface Is roughened by the manu facturer. Mr. Ileydler's figures, Incidental ly, throw a Rttle light on why the Yankees are so far behind the Ath letics in the American league race. Last year, when the Yanks were far out in front themselves, they had amassed 4 7 home-runs up to June 5. On the same dale this season, their total was only 1.1 cir cuit blows and their standing in the race correspondingly lower. NKW YORK. June 14.

LONDON, June 1 4. (P) Lon don tea-time gosslpers had a shock today when il was officially learn ed that the I'rince of Wales will not be present at the ball of the Swedish legation tonight in honor of Princess Ingrid of Hweden. Rumors of a possible engage ment announcement of the two popular eligible royal children seemed to have been' given a def inite quietus with the Issuance of the guest list. It wis said at the Swedish legation 'that the Prince of Wales had not even been in vifed. The feature of the hall, which will be one ut the highlights of the London season, will be a dance program which will contain noth ing but waltzes.
