Tlie hunc French plane, the

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

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?

WASHINGTON, June 14. (Pf
Legislative action on the farm re
lief bill was completed today by
senate and house acceptance of
the compromise measure, from
which the export debenture plan
waH eliminated, and It now goes
to President 1 louver for signing.
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.
The senate vole on the joint con
ference report was 73 to 8.

Democrats of the country were

control out of the hands of John
J. Kaskob. chairman of tho na

The Texan who supported Al

the house that Kuskob and his
associates were seeking to change j
the party into an Instrument or
the association against the prohi

merely ' the organization of the

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.

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. At a recent party
Princess Ingrid was overheard say
ing that she liked the waltz better
than any dance, so foxtrots and
one-steps have all been eliminated
for the party, where everything is
being done for the pleasure of the
Swedish princess.
In a fairyllke setting of white

J, White, the customs patrolman
who shot Henry Vlrkkula near In
ternational Falls, Minn., last Sat
urday nlKht, "was acting within
his authority under the law and
has a perfect defense."
Lowman wild that if White were
indicted his case would be trans
ferred to the United States courts,
und added that newspaper accounts
of the shooting were highly col
ored. The nsslstant secretary said em
phatically the treasury had no in
tention of disarming customs pa
trolmen, and said that should con
gress pass a law disarming them
II would In effect repeal the tariff
laws.
"It would uppcar from the re
port .that the newspaper accounts
of tho affair have been highly col
ored, to put It mildly," Lowman
said. "White apparently was act
ing within his authority under the
law and Iuih a perfect defense to
the charges that have beih made
against him.
The Vlrkkula case Is the third
