 "As a direct result of the econom- ic disturbances all over the world and the suspension of the gold standard in most European coun- tries" he said, T believe that silver will come into it's. own. It is neces- sary and most countries, including Great Britain, are beginning to realize it's importance in value.
 "A conference should be called of leading opponents of silver and a plan should be developed whereby the metal could regain some of its former prestige"

 and Tomorrow

With Bad Sister" showing for the last times tonight at the Capi- tol theatre, Too Many Crooks" which will be previewed at a mati- nee tonight at 1 am, will be the headline attraction on the regu- lar new program tomorrow night.
 In Bad Sister" zaSu Pitts has an important comedy roie. Many children have been named after an older person, but Miss Pitts was named after two. Her two aunts were named respectively Eliza and Susan, so the parents of the new baby. wishing to honor both relatives, combined the two last letters of Eliza and the two first letters of Susan" into the en- tirely unique name of "zaSu.'
 Too Many Crooks

 Step by step from the brick foun- dation to the tip of the tiled roof, the camera registers the details of the brick layers, carpenters, plas- terers', pain ters', and builders trades as the house grows before the eyes Of the audience.
 Many Bizarre Suggestions
 Of course, the actual building procedure is relieved by unusual and bizarre suggestions from a dozen or more relatives interested in the construction of the struc- ture. But that's part of the com- edy story.
 Cast opposite Bert Wheeler is Dorothy Lee.
 Others in the cast are Roscoe Ates, Robert McWade, Sharon Lynn, Hallam Cooley, Florence Roberts, Clifford Dempsey and fif- teen others.

Green Hat Lads Fight Hard, and F eminine
 Have Good Material

At basketball in the high school gymnasium yesterday afternoon, the boys game resulted in victory for the Sophomores over the Freshmen by a score of 12 to g, and the girls contest ended in a triumph of the Freshmen over the Eighth Graders by 10 to 6.
 In the boys game the Freshmen played hard, but the second year students were just little bit too big job for the Green Hats.
 The contest was quite free from fouls, something unusual in inter- class games. Hiding Haglund play ed snappy ball for the Sophs. Hen ry Behrends starred for the Fresh men. Although the Sophomores won, the Freshmen fought hard from start to finish. The result was in doubt until the referees final whistle.
 Today the Sophomore and Junior boys are playing to determine which will contest against the Sen for boys for the school title.
 The girls game yesterday after noon between Freshmen and Eighth Graders, was characterized by slow play. Nevertheless, the contest re- vealed on both teams good material for future high school squads.

overburdened the various dominion Of

in favor of such a session, in view of
Premier Benefits renewed call last
night.
Premier Bennett a year ago this
month at the plenary session OF the
Imperial Conference in London said to
the delegates:
Il offer to the mother country-and
TO all parts of the empire-a preference
in the Canadian marSet in exchange
for like preference in theirs, based
upon the addition of 10 per cent IN

or upon tariffs yet To be created.
In the universal acceptance OF this
offer. and in like proposals and &C
ceptances by all the other parts OF the

These mental labors. performed along
side wife deserters, alimony dodgers and

AS for troubles, Moneypenny asserts
the Scarface gang oYerlord has many.
Spends Time Reading.
Now IN jail, where he sits pending
appeal from the Federal prison term 81
II years imposed for eyading income
tax payments, Warden Moneypenny
says that capone merely sits and reads
and thinks. Mostly he reads.

from conviction in Federal Judge James

Capone to scrub If the gangster doesn't
want to.

about appealing to the Supreme Court
II he should decide against such pro-
cedure, he may ask the United States

tence. While Capone stays In the
county Jail he does not get credit to-
ward his fI-year term.
