Dieudonne Coste, France's fore- most airman, landed here last evening ready for a start at dawn on a trans- atiantic flight to New York, but late last evening was abliged by adverse weather conditions along the French seacoast to postpone his attempt. The change along the seaboard came where “perfect conditions” had been predicted for both the northern route followed in the opposite direction by Col. Lindbergh and the Azores route attempted last year by Coste. ‘The airport authorities had ordered out the fire engines and the ambulance that accompany heavily laden planes down the field on the take-off. These were to be on hand at 3 am. Col. W. E. Easterwood, jr., of Dallas, ‘Tex., who has persuaded Coste to_ex- tend his flight, if successful, from New York to Dallas, started for the field to see Coste on learning that his departure was_imminent, but later was informed | of the postponement.

Special Dispatch to The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md, August 18.— Since the completion of the overhead bridge and underpass at the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks here has made crossing safe, it has been. decided by Prince Georges. County school officials to grant the request of parents living east of the Washington-Baltimore Boulevard in the first ward of Hyattsville and in Edmonston to send their children to the larger 16-teacher elementary school in Hyattsville. The decision will become effeciive h the reopening of school next month. It is explained that the purpose of the decision is to make optional with parents living in Edmonston the selec- tion of either the Edmonston or Hyatts- ville School for their children. Here- tofore, because of the dangerous condi- tio.. in railroad crossing here, Edmon- ston children have been requireg to at~ tend the school there which two grades to a teacher, despite that many parents wished to send them to the Hyattsville School which has two teach- ers to the grade and which is able to give more attention to music, art and other extra curriculum activities. School officials say that if too large a number of Edmonston children Wish to attend the Hyattsville School the privi- lege will be limited only to pupils of the upper grades. It is not contemplated to transfer so many children to Hyattsville that it would be necessary to reduce the Edmonston teacher personnel of four. ‘There will be an entire change of teacher personnel at the Edmonston 8School the coming school year, all four of last year's teachers having resigned. Mrs. Esther Cramer of College Park has been named principal to succeed Mrs. Agnes W. Rymer.

POPE’S RADIO TALK MAY BE IN NOVEMBER Words, Probably in Latin, Expect- ed to Be Picked Up by Relay Stations All Over World. By _Radio to The Star. ROME, Italy, August 18.—It is un- derstood that the Pope's long-awaited radio message to the world will prob- ably be broadcast from the Vatican radio station some time in November, although it is possible that it may be delayed until Christmas, when the oc- casion will be more fitting than any other time. In any case, it seems definitely de- cided that Pope Pius XI will make a discourse of several minutes, speaking in Latin, his words being picked up by relay stations throughout the world, and probably repeated in translated form by local stations. ‘The Vatican radio station is now virtually complete, the microphone be- fore which the Holy Father will speak being finis] ‘This, of Marconi- Reisz type, is extremely sensitive to all volce modulations. The radio sta- tion proper, from which both radio- telegraphic and radiophone messages will be transmitted, was personally de- signed by Marconi. It is a short-wave station, the lengths being 20 or 50 meters, depending upon the distance to be reached and whether it is day or night. The transmitters are supplied with current from the Vatican power sta- tion, which is also to supply the Vati- can lighting system. There are two antennas, located on the highest point in the Vatican near the replica o t.lu Lourdes Grotto. The turbines for ‘the electrical sta- tion have just arrived at the Vatican, and as soon as they are installed the Pope may broadcast his message. (Copyright.” 1930.) ———— City Stages Comeback.
