There was not a scene in which he

Roosevelt Field, n. Y, June "a Up
Commander Richard E. Byrd said
today that it was improbable that
the America would take off on its
transatlantic flight either today or
tomorrow.
He qualified his statement by
adding: But one never can tell
about the weather, and we will hop
off as soon as the weather observers
say the word
A squall, lying across the Amer
ica's planned course is one of the
causes for delaying the fight, Byrd
said after a conference with the
weather observers. Also. he said,
there is a storm area from Nova
Scotia across the Grand Banks to
about 500 miles out on the Atlantic.
The squall. the weathermen said,
appeared to be moving eastward.
I'm not waiting for ideal wealth

ideal weather for our flight. If ]
were on my own, I would probably
hop off. But I have three men
with me. and also have the good

IT'S improbable that We will hop
off either today or tomorrow, but

Conditions locally were not favor
able for the take off. There was
moderately strong northeast wind
blowing across the field. A wester-

is assuming q self-reliant role as a
consequence of a movement inau-

Paul G. Wapato, full blood Amer

the Transformation:
The crusade had its inception in
the seizure OF control of the North
west Indian congress by the new
generation OF Indians following a
plea by Wapato for unified thought
and action among his race. The
coup swept Kim into the presiden-
cy. formerly held by white man,
and carried through set of declar-
atoms voicing the demands of the
younger generation.
Since that time Wapato. who is
frankly impatient of the story

idea of the Indian, has been induc-
ing the tribes of the Pacific North
west to form associations on their
various reservations for the dis
cussion of problems and reaching
Of agreement as to suggested rene
dies.
There has been too much COM
planning against the wrongs the
Indians have suffered at the hands
of white men, he believes. and not
enough effort on the part OF the In
dams to improve their condition.
1t Is his hope that by the time
the next Indian congress convenes
in September the various tribes
will have agreed on definite and
concrete proposals for settlement
of their problems. instead Of sit
ting by while representative Of
the Indian bureau and others dis
cuss them from the white mans
point of view.

CLOWNS DETECTED
when At leisure
Mourn Over the Laughs That
Have Died

Paris. June "a. P>-When a clown
Is through with work he gets mel
ancholy thinking OF the laughs that
have died.
That, saws the eldest Fratellinl.
Is why so many clowns spend their
off.hours in gloom and solitude.
That is why Crock. the Famous
Swiss clown. cries into his beer.
And that, according to newly
formed protective society OF hoop-
jumpers, sausage wielders and pop
gun shooters. is why French
clowns need a nice quiet home to
which they may retire when their
tavs of active Glowing are over.
The three Fratellints, Frances
most famous clowns. are leading
the movement for a home for urea
and aged clowns. Glowing. they
say. is not highly paid work. Inc
sons of slapstick need haven to
which they can retire and rest their
weary bones when they are Ill. or
shake off for good and all the
sawdust of the ring. What clowns
crave, they think. Is nice COM
Portable place where they can SIT
and crv over their happy memories
when they feel like it. or swap sad
tales about the big laughs they
landed when they were In their
prime.
A Journalist in Paris has made
an unofficial request of the minis
try of public instruction and 1ine
arts that a part of the barracks OF
the Notifications of Paris. now be-
ing abandoned, be set aside for re-
firing clowns. The funny men ap-
nreciate it as we'll meant but they
are luke warm about the idea.
Most of them are as much soldiers
at heart as they are bankers. An
abandoned barracks does not ap-
neal to them as CHEEKY place IN
which to be sad.
One of them said;
