wore all of these things.

BEAVER PELTS TAKEN EXCEED
 3O,O0O MARK
Highest Estimate of Catch Surpassed When It
 Reaches 30,20o

The total authenticated catch of beaver for last season was carried to 30,209 animals by belated re- ports received this week at local headquarters of the Alaska Game Commission, it was announced to- day by Hugh W. Terhune, Execu- tive Secretary. This is 2,709 more than the highest estimate by the Commission as to the prob able take.
 There are a few small lots yet to be heard from, Mir. Terhune said. 1t is now believed that the Commission will have sealed 30,- 500 skins when all reports are re- eeived.. With an average value of about $50. the beaver take last season probably brought the Ter ritory approximately $900000.
 The Commission realizes that there were a few lots of Illegally taken pelts which successfully evaded wardens and customs of ficials, MT. Terhune said. Reliable information from various sources, he added, indicated that the total of such belts would not be more than 1000. It is expected that the avenues through which they were shipped out of the Terri tory last season will have been closed up by the time next sea sons catch begins to move.

VOGUE OF VELVET
 LESSENS IN PARIS
By HAZEL REAviS


 PARIS, Jan. Women always hold the power of veto where fashion is concerned.
 Their lack of enthusiasm over velvet has demonstrated again to Paris style makers that it is far easier to create fashion than is is to get it accepted. The fash. ion world, including the fabric makers, is now agreeing that vel vet was only a semi-suecess.
 All the important houses still show velvet and many of the best dressed women of Paris are wear ing it. But among most women, velvet even for evening, remains less popular than satins, chiffons and less fragile and costly ma terials. It has it's greatest sue cess in evening wraps where the heavy, less delicate velours are the suitable choice.
 Afternoon dresses of velvet are perhaps the second-best runner in the velour field. The return e. formal afternoon dresses for bridge and tea wear makes q "best dress again a reality and many times velvet is the choice for this gown.

for a bakers dozen Of the newer film faces. Unoffieially and ac- tually, however, the designation Baby Star" is generally the stamp of approval for some DO ducing organization powerful enough to help the recipient very materially in her struggle toward genuine stardom. The young player chosen Baby Star is in practically all cases assured of at least a few real opportunities to make good during this year.
 Baby Stars Of past years includ- ed such players as Colleen Moore, Claire Windsor, Laura La Plante, Clara Bow, Olive Borden, Mary Astor, Janet Gaynor, Dolores Del Rio and Dolores Costello. Just now there is much argument and speculation as to the thirteen who will be named the Baby Stars cf 1928. Among those who are con ceded to have the best chances of election are several who were ab- solutely unknown to picture goers year ago.
 There is, for instance, Lupe Ve- leg, the vivacious Mexican dancer discovered" by Roach and put in comedies about eight months agp and later discovered again by
  Douglas Fairbanks. Her success opposite Fairbanks in "The Gau-s cho" and her subsequent selection by DeMille to play opposite Rod LaRocque have started her up. ward at a pace calculated to make her selection by the Wampas matter of course. Another E Nena Quartaro, the New York gil whom James Cruza picked out et. the extra ranks and is grooming for stardom. And still another fs Sue Carroll, who arrived in Holly wood last February. and played her first lead opposite Douglas MacLean about six months ago.
 Other girls who are being put forward as candidates for the thir; teen places include several all ready pretty well known by the earnest film fan. Among them are Ruth Taylor, chosen to play the lead in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"; Myrna Loy, in training for stardom at Warner Brothersi Barbara Worth and Dorothy Gull liver, Universal's preferred iJi-i genues; Jeanette Loff, blonde dis covery of c.

HAUSER RELEASED AS COLGATE COACH
 TO RESUME STUDY

HAMILTON, N. Y, Jan. T. George w. Hauser, head coach CT football at Colgate for the last two years, will be released from his duties in order that he may complete his study for a medical degree, according to an appoint ment made by William A.

 As a student at the University If Minnesota in 1917, Hauser re. ceived the Western Conference medal for excellence in athletic activity and scholastic standing. This is the highest honor the Big Ten can confer on an athlete.

Can a superwheat be grown In water

yield many times the amount OF grain
possible in open fields?
Certainly. say Department Of Agricul-

such wheat probably would cost $l00
a loaf, or perhaps twice that much.
The interest of Department Of Agri-
culture scientists was aroused by the
report last week from the University
of California to the effect that an eX-

growth far exceeding anything possible
under ordinary methods of cultivation.
