SCOUT RDUEU IS POSTPONED Decatur Boy Scouts Are Entered In Contests To Be Held At Fort Wayne The Boy Scout rodeo, which was scheduled to be held at Lincoln Life baseball park in Fort Wayne, by the Anthony Wayne area council, this evening. has been postponed until next Friday evening, due to the wet condition of the grounds. The rodeo will start at 7:30 o'clock (daylight saving time), next Friday evening. Th? Decatur Scout s are entered in four of the events. Between forty and titty troops are entered in the rodeo. The baseball park has been equipped with electric lights fir the event. The different events of the rodeo include building fires, boiling water, tying knots and other things learned by Scouts. — — i YOUNG AMERICAN AVIATOR BEGINS DASH ACROSS (COSTIMED FROM PAGE OXB) down the runway and a tremendous roar went up from the crowd. Lindbergh foolhardy as always, took off from the west end of the runway. Had his plane—loathed more heavily than ever before —failed to rise, he would have crashed into a row of buildings. Had he taken off from the. east, he would have had open field at the end of the runway. The plane, however, took off without accident, and its silver body flashed as it nosed into the air. A rhythmic roar beat down over the crowd from the motors which he expected to carry him 3,600 miles on his great adventure. He was doomed to between 30 and 35 hours in the pilot’s seat if he completed his flight—and if he failed, there was only a meagre chance of rescue. Lindbergh, the happy boy from the west, was not smiling when those by the runway got their last glimpse of h's face. The features were set in a grim line. He knew what he faced. A few minutes befor he started he said to a friend at the side of the plane: “Don’t worry a bit. I'm confident II be in Paris tomorrow safe and sound." There was no wind to hamper his s/art. As Lindbergh faded away five other planes, including Commander Richard E. Byrd's great Fokker, itself waiting to make the same trip which Lndbergh started todsiy, left the ground and flew away as an escort to the first American to attempt to make (his flight. Soon after Lindbergh’s plane had passed safely over thi tree tops it straightened out, due least never a circle or a turn to either side and as it grew smaller and smaller and lifted higher and higher, the [escort planes closed up to it. Suddenly th- silver grey of the , wings of the Lindbergs plane blotted out against the grey sky. | “Lucky" Lindbergh* was off for Paris.

Lindbergh planned to fly a straight course from here to Cape Race, Newfoundland then pick, up a great circle route, leading him in a curve to tho Northward, for Ireland, thence over England and to Paris. Lindbergh depended on his sturdy, speedy one-motored monoplane and on himself for succe u s and for his very life, scorning precautions which have usually been a part of such flight attempts. He had no wireless or other signalling devices, and as little extra equipment of other kinds as possible. He wore his usual flying clothes, and for food carried only compressed food tablets and hot coffee and chocolate in vacuum bottles —enough to keep him alive three days. Lindbergh's plane was built in San Diego. Calif., and he flew from there to New York last week in two jumps, stopping at St. Louis, where the financial backers of his flight live, to have the craft christened 'Spirit of St. Louis.” | Mrs Agnes Andrews and granddaughter. Patsy Moser, returned yesterday from Bluffton, where they visited with Mr. and Mrs. Roger Swaim and daughter. — 0 ; Dancing class tonight. Assembly 9:15 o'clock.

CALF CLUB TOUR IS SUCCESSFUL Several Members 01 Chib Are Visited; Purdue Man On Tour The fit st calf club tour ever conducted in Adams county took place Wednesday, when practically every calf club member in the county spent at least one-half day with other members who were visiting at the homes of several of the youthful dairymen.] The forenoon tour which was arranged for the members living in the north half of the county begun at the Thomas Griffiths farm where a pure bred Jersey Heifer with her twelve day old calf were seen. Herman Griffiths, the owner, stated he was weighing her] milk daily and that she had made forty five pounds of butter fat in one month, according to 11. L. Price, tester. Stops were made at the homes of Wilda and Robert Yake, Pollyanna Lehman and Wayne Zerkel. While the former three are members of the first year cult club, the latter has entries in all three clubs. The afternoon tour began with the inspection of three heifers being cared for by Calvin Steury. From there the group went to the C. W. R. Schwartz farm where first, second and third year calves were being cared for by Srnest, Mary and Ruth Schwartz, respectively. The afternoon tour ended with an inspection of the pure bred dairy herd owned by Frederick Duff. The herd consists of five animals all acquired since the beginning of the calf club work, two years ago. Since those on the tour were beginning to feel hungry again after pop corn and Aples at the Steury farm they were treated to ice-cream and cake by the Duffs. The success of the tour was evident by the fact that of the boys and girls caring for the sixty entries in the three clubs only three were not present at one of the tours. Professor E. A. Gannon of the Purdue Dairy Department was very well pleased with the turn-out and with the interest expressed by the members and their parents. o

DANGER OF FLOOD AT CAPITAL FADES Swollen White River Threatens To Flood Indianapolis This Morning Indianapolis. May 20 —(UP) — Recessions reported at upriver points today were believed to have averted a serious flood of the White River here. . Although there was a slow rise in the level of the river, weather bureau iffi j clals said the crest of the high water J had been passed and it would begin tc fall soon Indianapolis, Ind.. May 20—(UP) — A great city, threating its injured casing for its homeless, and rebuilding shattered resldental districts, was threatened with the dangers of flood today. The White river, which twists its way to the west of the Tornado-torn districts weie near —military rule was enforced by pj’ice and firemen, had risen rapidly, due to the deluge that accompanied the 75-iniJe wind Wednesday night, ami its waters already have overspread low lying sections. Simultaneously with a breach in the dykes that line the river, National Guardsmen, police and firemen, city employes and others were summoned to form sandbank baricades, and the Noblesville dam was opened. Meanwhile, the city plunged into reconstruction after counting a half bundled injured. 50 homes virtually desticyed and perhaps 250 others heavily damaged—a total property loss of $1,750,000. I Police passes were refused to those who had no business in the stricken aieas and the work of rehabilitation meved forward without hampering. I Everywhere that the tornado struck hardest, have spuing up relief stations for the needy. Churches have rallied their mcie fortunate members to tile samaiitanism of providing food, shelter and clothing to tho needy. The
