Weather Delays Atlantic Pliers
 As Test Flights Are Arranged

Old Orchard, Me, June N- Storms threw barrier across the projected transatlantic courses of the Green Flash and the Yellow Bird. and their crews contemplated no take-on for Rome and Paris today. Advices from Dr. James H. Kimball. New York meteorologist. indicated that an area of gales and generally bad weather extended over one-third of the proposed routes of the two monoplanes.
 Rogers o. Williams and Lewis A.. Yancey of the Green Flash and the French fiiers, Jene Assolant and Rene I4e Fevre, hoped for conditions favorable for a start tomorrow. In contemplation of this, the French airmen prepared to make test hop which would determine the fuel mix ture required to lift the Yellow Bird from the beach with | mini- mum of power and and a minimum of vibration. It was this vibration of the motor which caused their re- turn last Wednesday after a take off for Paris they explained.

60 Seniors Are Uncertain Whether Sheepskins Will

Des Moines, Ia., June , h - Sixty seniors of strifc-torn Des Moines university had their com- mencement today without any cer- tainty that they would get their diplomas.
 Dr. T. T. Shields. president of the board of trustees, Miss Edith Rebman. secretary, and E. A. Rob- erts, trustee, were found yester- day registered in Grinnell. Iowa. hotel under assumed names. They had gone there on advice of attor- Keys.
 Diplomas of the seniors were stolen Saturday night from the home of George D. Newcomb. as- sistant to the president. shortly after they had arrived from the printer. A new set was printed yes- terday and students guarded them throughout the night. Students also stood guard at the registrars office to prevent any possible theft of the records of the students grades.
 Fate of the graduates was con- sidered to rest with Dr. Shields and his two companions. They must ap- prove the list of graduates and sign the diplomas to make them authentic.

AUTO JUNK YA|lD A! 2 ]! LAW '!
 | PEanExEiS| PAONESSA
Mayor Asks Kirkham What Department Win
 Carry It Out

Mayor Paonessa has asked Cor poration Counsel John H. Kirkham to designate what department of the city government shall hear applica- tions for automobile junk yard licenses. to put this city in a posi- ton to cooperate with the state de- pertinent of motor vehicles when the new law becomes effective, July 1.
 Any person who keeps two or more abandoned automobiles comes under the regulations of the new statute and must procure local and state license to dispose of the machines. A public hearing is pro- vided by the law, this to precede certification to the state department. The probable effect on real estate values, proximity to public buildings and residences are to be taken into consideration before existing yards will receive approval or new places allowed to come. into existance.
 The mayor is in doubt as to which department of the city government should conduct the hearing, since the questions involved touch on the work of the board of public works, city plan commission and the board of adjustment.

Raccoon Coated College Boys Aid
 In Capture of Real Live Raccoon

New York. June (UP)-An em- battled raccoon has shed his life blood on the New York university campus in order that his skin might not be made into an overcoat to adorn undergraduate backs.
 He did not die in Sain. Even be- fore Patrolman McDonald fired the shot heard round the campus last night, it already had been decided that the raccoon's sporting fight against punishing odds had entitled him to be stuffed and placed in the quadruped Valhalla at the board of health building.

 The fight shaped up something like this: On ono side-the raccoon: on the other side-ten policemen. 300 students. including . part of the university track team. 1I taxi drivers, 60 motorists who were lur- ed by the smoke and shrieks of battle, and three score residents Of the neighborhood. -,..-
