SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF
 OUR HALlBUT FISHERIES

As basis for the future regulation of the industry, the International Fisheries Commission in session at Seattle has decided to make thor ough scientific investigation of the halibut fishing banks in North Pa cific waters. For that purpose the commission has engaged w. F. Thompson, who for years has been engaged in the study of this food fish for the British Columbia Fisheries Commission.
 His investigation will be to deter mine to what extent, if any, intensive fishing had diminished the supply. He will seek to determine how by in- ternational regulation this sea fooo resource may be conserved. Research work will be first undertaken by commission which was created by treaty between the United States and Canada last fall
 After three days session at Seat tie the commission adjourned to meet at Ottawa on May to consider pro- posed regulations governing halibut fishing.

teeth into "ivory" ornaments, his hide into leather and his liver into 'cod- liver" oil. Nelson Macdonald, of Van couver Island, believes that the catch ing and industrial exploitation of the shark is going to make the fortune of British Columbia. The waters of the province abound in sharks, says ! correspondent of The Evening Post (New York;:
 "'There are millions of sharks in these North Pacific waters, says MT. Macdonald, 'and there will never be shortage of them. The further north you go the more sharks you find, and from Vancouver to Alaska are their feeding grounds. Taking them from the bottom of the sea is automatic. Norway has hundreds of such indus tries; in fact, the only real hook for catching them works on a swivel and comes from Norway, as does also the so-called 'cod-liver oil' which invades the markets of the world and is really shark-liver oil manufactured in Nor way
 "In the shark plant, when the huge fish is being turned into so many sub~ stance sand articles, there is abso- lutely no waste.
 Victoria, Seattle, and other North Pa cific seaport cities sat around table in Victoria, Vancouver Island, recent ly, where firm from Seattle showed the various processes through which sharks passed, and the results at tained in glue, leather, fertilizer and other marketable and needful pro ducts.
 "At this meeting a Seattle company showed a large number of shark hides in every stage of tanning. Many of the men assembled were Heather men, and they fingered the product carefully and satisfied themselves that the leather business was enter ing the initial stage of making Up goods of which heretofore they had had no conception.
 "Shark hides run from an inch in thickness in the older fish to the con- sistency of paper in the baby shark. Soles of boots, leather for the finest suede shoes, black pigmented pro duct that would make club bags of most lasting quality, uncrackahle lengths of leather that outstript any patent leather ever made, and which the leather shoemen said was tho finest they had ever seen, were among the exhibits, and the thought of all this material right at hand was a revelation to men who had known that there were sharks but thought # them only as menace to swimmers and deStrOVerS of marketable fish.

RIALTO-"Kiss Me Again.

Kiss Me Again." the attraction at
the Rialto this week, is notable chiefly
for Its direction. When a story bears
the name Of Ernest Lubitsch, the for
eign director genius, who came to
these shores a couple of years ago,
one is assured of absorbing entertain
ment with something different" in
the flavor of the theme.
In this, his latest production, Lu-
bitsch has chosen for his principal
characters a young French couple,
who are beginning to find matrimony,
at least with each other, rather
humdrum affair. Loulou is a pretty,
light-headed little creature, who, so
far as her goodlooking husband is
concerned, has come to the conclusion
that there is no need chasing a train
after you have caught it," and, there
fore, looks about for other fields to
conquer. Her attention lights on a
young musician, whose artistic tenn
permanent soon capt1res her interest.

whose idea Of love-making is to sit
at the piano playing soulful music,
Loulou begins to wonder as to the
whereabouts of her CASTOR, and idle
wondering sharpens into quick con-
Germ wheh she discovers him to be
having an apparently enjoyable time
with an >juene file
OF course. the climax brings the
young couple together, more in love
and happier than they have ever
been, and the situations leading up
TO this reunion are handled so un-
usually yet so plausibly that the
story is raised far above the ranks
of 'mediocrity.
Marie Provost is the charming
Loulou. Monte Blue is CASTOR, Will
lard Louis the divorce LAWYER. a
splendid bit to add to his growins
list OF clever characterizations; John
Roche the dreamy musician and
lover. and Clara Bow the dainty, au-
dacious "other girl"
An added attraction is selections
from grand opera, by Stelle Mar
chet1 and Armando Marbini, who
sing roles from 'Traviata" and
Aida, which they have sung with
success in the opera houses at Ma
pies and Milan.

much in love with his wife. Next to
his devotion to Kate. his affections
are bound up in his young sister Ruth,
VINO adores him, and whose faith in
Kate and her philosophy is absolute.
For all of her conviction that in
dividualism and the freedom Of self
expression Is right, when the actual
test comes Kate is surprised to find
that she is in reality merely a talk

doctrine which she breaches The
trusting Ruth, however, lightly turns

soon as it is begun. DisiIIusioned by
her brief flight with q crook and the
complete collapse of Kate's beautiful
philosophy, Ruth disappears and a
