SMITH SUMS UP
 CHARGES HURLED AGAINST [. ]. ?.
DECLARATIONS AND POLITI- CAL FAITH ARE ALL BEING
 SWEPT ASIDE

NEW YORK, Nov 5, (P)-Facing tine last audience in his campaign Gov. Al Smith summed up all the charges he has hurled at the Re publicans declaring the time was at hand when American people want change of administration.
 He said he felt confident That 8 reaWakened sentiment in Amer ican people will de reflected to- morrow in a great Democratic vic tery."
 SPEAKING AT MADISON Square Garden where a few weeks ago Hoover made a bid for 45 elec- toral votes, Smith fired back at his rival and party chiefs. He ac- cuSed Republicans with accepting the support of the Anti Saloon League which organization he charged with setting at "Naught all tae great declarations of political 9aith; sweeping aside men and measures not in sympathy with Ifs narrow, bigpted ideas" He add cd. It would be difficult to speak of tae league without saying some tssling about Its twin brother for destruction of Amasrican .prlncl- pies, the Klan.'
 HE REITERATED HIS demand for a prohibition change again promising to take tnls ls- sue to the American people. He ar gued there two were duties with respect to this subject, as follows:
 First, is to enforce them; that promise to do to the best of my ability. The second duty is to rec onmend changes deemed advis- able and I will recommend to Congress the changes have indi- cated in my speech of acceptance" :"
 REAFFIRMING HIS
 position on the tariff question the Governor emphasized the opposi- aion to a general revision of tariff Jaws saying above 90 percent of the Democratic Congressional can- didates had approved of his posi- 5iQn.
 He branded as ridiculous what ne termed as an attempt by the Republicans to lead American working men to believe that a Democratic success meant he-the working man-Will be driven from home, and promising, if he-Smith- were elected, "Not a five cent piece would be taken from pay envelopes" #

 DEMOS, REVISION
MORE THAN LOCAL ISSUES IN VOLVED IN THE PRESENT
 ELECTION

PUEBLO, Col, Nov. 5, (P)-Her- bert Hoover, speaking for the last time in his Western campaign, counselled a group of Colorado people who met him here, that they should not entruSt Demo- crats with revision of the tariff.
 Leaving the train for a brief talk after a days acclaim through Kansas, Hoover declared Tn the whole campaign we have not heard from any member of the Democratic Party complete ac- ceptance of the term protective tariff as defined by Republicans and as matter of fact the Dem ocratic candidates to Congress are pledged by their Party Plat form to a competitive tariff"
 HE CRITICIZED THE
 workings of the Underwood tariff enacted by the last Democratic administration as crippling Cobra do industries saying If the peo- pie of Colorado will check up on the prospective Democratic per sonnel in the next House, Ways and Means committee they will find a membership comprising the same leaders who wrote the Un- derwood tariff and opposed the Republican tariff"
 HOOVER DECLARED a decreased standard of living would lessen the demand for Col orado products forcing them to compete with goods produced with cheaper labor He then listed Re- publican achievements enumerat- ing Peace treaties, Arms limita- tion, Kellogg's pact, reduced em- ployment, tax cuts, the protective tariff, Veterans aid, immigration laws, highway and inland water ways and aviation developments, adding that
 THIS ELECTION IS composed of more than local is sues: it involves whether we shall leave the road of sure and estab- lished progress or whether the fundamental policies by which America has become a leader, are to be halted while we substitute a period of confusion and hesita- tion in completion of the great National task of human better ment."

Viennese Surgeon
 Renews Big Artery

VIENNA, Austria, April 2S-A burst or otherwise injured artery requiring repair by excision no longer need frighten the surgeon, says Professor Demel of the Eli selsberg clinic.
 He cites the instance of an army captain who was brought to him with revolver bullet em. bedded in the large artery of his right thigh. Professor Demel re- moved 2% inches of the artery for which he substituted a slight. ly greater length of vein taken from the same thigh of the pa. tient. Owing to the different di. rections in which the valves of the two blood vessels head, the ends of the vein were reversed when sewn into the interrupted artery.
 Immediately after the operation the inserted piece of vein started to pulsate after the manner of an artery.

PUBLISHERS
 ANNOUNCEMENT

Following the rule in force in all daily newspaper offices throughout the coun- try and the custom with most of the newspapers of Alaska. The Empire will re- quire, beginning May 1, that all subscriptions must be paid in advance. The need for this rule is obvious. So many people, particularly in Alaska, change their address es so often, that the loss from the credit system is too large to be consistent with good business. The only way to meet the situation is to make the payment in ad- vance rule apply to every body. So there will be no exceptions.
 The management has had this matter under considera- tion for a long time, and decision is the result of ma ture deliberation. Publishers everywhere have found that the only satisfactory manner of handling newspaper cir- culation is to require pay ment in advance.
 So, beginning Hay l, sub scriptions to The Empire must be paid in advance.

New Film Invention
 Removes Fire Hazard

LIVERPOOL, Eng, April 28-An invention to eliminate heat from light, reducing the risk of fire. is being demonstrated here at the Alhambra Cinema.
 The invention, the work of Cor don Cameron and Charles McNair consists of a colorless liquid com pounded of various metallic salts which, when placed between a light and the object to be illumi mated, filters the heat rays with out noticeable diminution of the light rays.
 A seven-inch cylinder filled with the solution was placed between the carbon and the protector and the reel of the film stopped for two minutes. The film remained unharmed. When the operator removed the cylinder the film burst into flame instantly.
