FRENCH FLIER TESTS PLANE Dieudonnc Coste Awaits Better Weather Conditions for Ocean Hop Paris. Aug. 22.—(U.R) — Dieudonnc Coste made another test flight today in his plane, the Question Mark, which he is grooming for a trans-At-lantic flight with Maurice Bellonte. The flight was to try out the wireless, which has been working poorly and caused postponement of a takeoff. Coste said the prospects of a start tomorrow morning were poor because of weather conditions. Coste still maintained his route secret. largely because of the air ministry's instructions forbidding French fliers to fly the Atlantic. However, his brief case, which he carries everywhere, contains only two maps—radio map of the region between Paris and New York, and a navigator’s chart of the same region. Coste broke his usual silence at the end of his hour and a half flight today during which he tested his radio equipment further. “I cdn't, I won't, nor have 1 ever dreamed of a world flight.” he told the United Press. “I don’t know who started the idea of my racing the Graf Zeppelin. It is a ridiculous and far-fetching idea, as such an undertaking is physically impossible with niy present equipment. "My flight will range far below the rate necessary to make Japan ami the United States hop. Only Jules Verne could do it with my plane.” As he alighted from the plane, Coste said the ignition of his radio equipment was good but the reception was only mediocre and would require some more tinkering before the plane is ready to go. The outlook for a start Friday morning is poor, he said, because the combined condition of the radio and meteorological reports are unfavorable.

DRY WEATHER HINDERS CROPS Cold and Drouth Given as Chief Reasons for Standstill in Indiana Indianapolis, Aug. 22. — (U.R) — Drouth and cold weather during the last week have retarded growth of crops in Indiana and some crops, especially corn, do not have a good outlook, the U. S. weather bureau reported In its weekly review today. Ground was hard in many localities. Fall plowing continued and oats threshing was nearly completed, with a fair yield. Rain had not fallen .in the central section for more than a week. In the southern section some corn is ripening, the report said, but the crop is uneven, ranging from tasseling stage to ripening, and in many localities corn was not expected to form ears because of cool , dry weather. Dry conditions blocked growth of truck crops, gardens and pastures, the survey revealed. Clover and alfalfa are making steady progress and tomatoes, peaches and melons are being marketed in the southern part of the state.
