man crew of The Dawn may be forced to postpone their proposed flight to Copenhagen until next year. While Mrs. Grayson has not said definitely that she will postpone the flight, her statement, “we will wait about a week for favorable weather” indicates that a postponement is being considered. | Old-timers along the Maine coast have warned Mrs. Grayson that any takeoff will be impossible soon, because of inclement weather. Weather reports this morning caused the three fliers to admit that there was no possibility of a takeoff within., forty-eight hours. The reports told of high winds, rain and fog off New Foundland and Nova Scotia. Storm warnings were being displayed from Eastport, Maine, south to Cape Hatteras. The Atlantic coast disturbance, central off the eastern tip of Long Island this morning, rapidly is approaching this section. Off for Buenos Aires B,\j United Press RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Oct. 19.—Dieudonne Costes and Lieut.

Air Heroine ‘Broke’ Wild Horse, Awed Keeper of Pound, Led in Hallowe’en Daring. BY JACK C. YORK | 1 NNISTON, Ala., Oct. 19.—Ruth Elder, who became the Nation’s A heroine and Anniston’s especial darling when she was rescued I** | from her trans-Atlantic plane by a Dutch tanker off the Azores, always has been known here as a bit of a tomboy. Her attempt to fly over the ocean, while it gave everybody here a big thrill, didn’t surprise the home folks very much. For everybody in Anniston was well aware that Ruth Elder had a fondness for spectacular stunts, and that she wasn’t afraid of anything. They tell you about her most famous tomboy trick, and chuckle as they tell it. \ Shortly after the World War Ruth’s lather. Oscar Elder, bought an unbroken horse from the army cantonment at Camp McClellan. The Elder children were warned not to go near the stable because the horse was vicious.

Oscar Elder’s back was hardly turned before Ruth went to the stable. Without a saddle, and with only a bit and bridle, she managed to mount the untamed animal. Down the street she rode, the horse bucking and plunging, trying to throw her. Subdues the Horse But she stuck to it, with half the town watching, and at length came back home riding a much subdued horse. “That’s Ruth Elder for you,” say her friends. Ruth was quite an athlete during her high school days. She starred at forward on the basketball team, and often said she wished she was a Doy so that she could play football. One of the stories Anniston tells ■has to do with Ruth’s Hallowe’en gang. Ail small towns have their Halloween gangs, and Ruth’s gang was known as the most daring in Anniston. Springs New Stunt On this occasion she tried to find a stunt that would be different. She did. She' organized her crowd and, masked in fantastic costumes, the group of boys and girls boarded a trolley car- They rode until they were tired, then tripped up the conductor and got off without paying their fares. This was repeated on every car line in town, until a harassed utility company had to notify the police. Another story deals with Ruth as a little girl. When she was 6 years old she was sitting in the school room one day when, looking out of the window, she saw a man pass by leading a cow. She recognized

tfie cow ’ , >as belonging to Mrs. Reeves a neighbor. Without saying a word Ruth ran out of the building overtook the man and demanded to know where he was taking cow. Overawes Pound Keeper The man replied that he was the pound keeper, that 'he had found the cow in the street and that he was taking it to the pound. Ruth was unimpressed. She insisted that the cow be returned to Mrs. Reeves —and finally won her point. The fact that Annistcn is full of stories about Ruth’s escapades should not be misunderstood, however. They are stories that are repeated with honest admiration, and there is nothing in them that reflects on her in any way. Ruth had no childhood sweethearts—they were all pals, instead. Ruth Elder was arj outdoor girl all the way through. She was young and peppy and she liked fun —lots of fun; and she didn’t care what the gossips might say about her. And, even so, they never found anything to say about her except that she was a bit of a tomboy, out for a good time. Which helps to explain why she tried to fly across the Atlantic.
