greed as to whether or not their state banner was to be added to the big parade, and quite a squab- bic ensued. Eventually, as in the parade for Smith, practically every delegate in the hall joined in the demonstration.
 Not Much Fighting
 Sentiment grew rapidly for Smith during the days previous to his nomination" MT. Shattuck de- clared, "and there was so little doubt he would be nominated that his home state delegation did not consider it necessary to go out and boost for him. The came was true of Sen. J. T. Robinson, who was undoubtedly by far the most logical running mate for Smith.
 Later, when the platform was being drawn up, the New Workers interfered as little as possible. The platform committee, composed of one person from each delega- tion, completed it's task without great difficulty and the prohibition plank eventually satisfied the en- tire convention. The drys were satisfied with the enforcement dec laration, while the vets were brought into line when Smith pledged himself for enforcement but against the existing manner in which the national liquor situa- tion is being handled
 During the convention it was an nounced Smith would campaign during the last several weeks prior to the election. and would make a speech a day. The value of the radio to the campaign was em- phasized by MT. Shattuck, who de

1.-THE MISSING LINK"
 BIG HIT, COLISECM

Last night was the first show ing of Syd Chaplin's latest comedy hit, "The Missing. Link" This feature without a doubt is the very best that this star has appeared in to date. From the first until the fade-out it is just one hearty laugh and the many that saw |, last night are high in praise of the comedy.
 The part Syd Chaplin takes is very much different from any that he has had in the past. And he is very much funnier and has been able to put in many more gags that are original than ever before.
 Critics in the east claim that if has been a decided hit and that this comedy bowled 'em over in every city in which it played.
 Syd Chaplin has the part of a hunter and the experiences he goes through to find "The Missing Link" and the girl that he loves are enjoyment to both young and old. The thrills are many. This feature is on again tonight at the Coliseum.

 Jesse H.

The two big sensations of the Democratic National Convention held at Houston. Texas, were the nomination of Gov Alfred E.

 Immediately following these two exents the delegates flocked into the aisles and paraded through the great convention hall. carrying banners, yelling and singing, while the three bands, seated in the hall played, MT. Shattuck explained.
 Two of the southern state dele gations were engaged in minor revolutions when the big parade for religious tolerance" began, Delegates in these parties disa-

1ASsEL, Germany UlN).-Ever since Jules Verne wrote his
 engaging--and purely imsgi- nary-account of trip to tl:e Moon the scientists have toyed with the idea of penetrating the Earth's at- mospheric belt and exploring the universe beyond.
 In Switzerland, In France and in America, learned men have sx- pressed the belief that upon certain of the planets life most assuredly exists; and they incline to the be- lief that if man could construct a rocket plane of sufficient power to pierce the layer of atmosphere to the ether beyond, it would be a comparatively easy matter for him to coast to one of the nearer stars.
 This theory an intrepid German, Herr Anton Raab. World War ace and a constructing aviation expert. proposes to test by shooting him self" into the air in a rocket plane of his own construction.
 '1 am not going to the Moon this time" Raab explained. adding that his first attempt Is to be an experi- ment in which he himself will be a human registering instrument" He will record the mental. nerve and heart sensations upon human be- ing being shot into the air at a ter rife speed.

TAKE OF SEAL
 THIS YEAR TO
 BE INCREASED
Probably Reach 0,000 Skins-Herds Growing
 Steadily, Says O'Malley

Based on early season results of sealing operations by the Bureau of Fisheries on Pribilof Islands, the seal talks of the Government this year is expected to reach approxi- mately 30,000. according to statement made today by U. s Commissioner of Fisheries, Henry O'Malley. On July 3, last, to tai of 12,563 seals had been killed on the breeding grounds as com pared to S,039 on the same date last year.
 The total take last season was about 25,0O0 skins. Prices of the belts are fairly good, the Commis- sioner said. Logwood browns "a new. color brought out by the St Louis firm handling the skins un- der government contract, reached top figure of $70. Good black peits brought $56.
 HERDS GROW STEADILY
 The seal herds, under govern ment protection, are growing stead fly. The 1927 census, completed the last C. July, showed more than S00,C00 animals in the herds. As. the increase is estimated at approximately 10 per cent annually there are now about 100000 at the rookeries, it is estimated.
 Within few years, the Com missioner is confident the herds will have attained the maximum size of which there is any record. The first authentic report from early Russian sources placed the number on the Pribilofs at about 100000. This number, said Com missioner O'Malley, is believed to be as large as it is wise to permit in the rookeries. When it has been attained, the present plan is to increase the rate of killings each year so as to keep the herds at that figure.
 No PeIagic Sealing
 Organizations and individuals in- terested in the perpetuation of the herds are strongly opposed to any return of pelagic sealing as they are convinced that it would result in short time in depletion if not actual extinction of the seals. And it is not believed any of the four powers having interests in the in ternational herds will consent to its restoration.
 In 1910 the United States, Great Britain. Japan and Russia perfect ed a convention giving protection to the herds. In 1911, the Blu reau of Fisheries took over the protective work and has had charge of the herds in American waters since that date. The treaty continues in force until such time as any one or more of the con- tracing governments gives notice of one year of it's intention to ab- rogate it. No such notice has been given and at this time there is no indication that any of the governments concerned have any desire to withdraw from the con vention, said the Commissioner. Leaves Tonight
 The Commissioner will leave to- night for Skagway and visit to some of the more important sal mon streams in the Lynn Canal district. He will go from there to Sitka via northern Chatham Strait and Peril Strait. From Sitka he will go to Cordova and direct to the Kodiak area, returning by way of Seward and Cook Inlet points, arriving here this month to spend the remainder of the fish l ing season.

Danes Seek Parity With U. s. Tariff

COPENHAGEN. Denmark, Mar. 20--At the request of their con- servative supporters the present liberal government in Denmark has consented to an investigation as to the desirability of a new commercial policy.
 The conservatives want higher tariff walls, but are willing to compromise on the so-called double tariff system. an elastic custom policy enabling the gov ernment to employ lower tariff on goods from countries admitting Danish products free or at a req. sonable tariff, while the highest tariff can be used against those which keep out Danish goods by high tariff walls. The liberal par ty wants free trade.
 If carried into effect this dou1le tariff system is likely to hit Amer ican imports into Denmark most severely. 4s st
