 New Menace" In Screen
 The Sea Bat" Metro Goldwyn- Mayors marine melodrama pro- vides a new menace" in screen productions.
 Sea Bats, those giant rays weigh ing two tons or more, which infest tropic waters, are the monsters who supply the excitement of this tale. When one of them folds Nils Asther in it's heavy wings. crush ing him to death, it starts war of reprisal in which the tangled TO- mances of Charles Bickford, Raquel Torres and John Milan form a dramatic overtone
 The picture was filmed at the sponge and pearl diving seaport of Mazatlan on the south coast of Mexico. The sponge diving occu- pations of the natives play an inn portant part in the picture, neces- sitating the use of fleet of fifty boats, three of which were com pletely equipped with both diving apparatus and machinery for taking motion pictures. under water.

 The talk about a million dollar gate" or anything close to it at Cleveland on July may seem a trifle optimistic this far in advance and in view of general conditions around the box-offices.
 The boys will give three cheers if the payoff on the Stribling -Schmel- ing affair is on the basis of any thing close to S500,000. If it goes beyond that, the depression will be over or the end is around the cor ner or something.

Niemi let the ball zip between his hands and feet and it scooted across the sidewalk while Little Mac hooped it home and Big Mac swarmed on to third The elder brother claimed specta- tor kicked the ball back to Neimi and that he was entitled to an ex- tra base which would have count ed him with the tying run. His claim was disallowed and the game ended with Mac roasting atop third base when Jack Schmitz fouled out to Boyd and Manning forced Hen ming to hit to the box and tossed him out at first.

Give Manning Good Sup port in Pinches; Score
 Three in Fourth

The Elks won another ball game Sunday, defeating the Moose 3 to 9 in the regulation nine innings Manning held the Paps to six sin gles and two-bagger, while the Bills found Pete Schmitz for seven singles and a three-bagger. | The Elks scored all their tallies in the fourth frame on three hits in row and an error. The Moose scored one in the seventh and another in the ninth, and had a Irunner on third with one down but couldn't squeeze him home How They Scores
 Boyd started the fourth with a single between short and second. Andy advanced him to midway station with another single. Rod land, playing his first game for the Bills, drove the apple to deep center, scoring them, and went to third himself. If he didn't run like an ice wagon it would have been an easy four -sacker.
 After McGrath had got life on Henning's low throw to first, Rod land scored from third when Hen ming missed Pete Schmitz's throw to nab the Elks' rightfielder. Me- Grath went to second and raced o nto third while that sack was left bare. He passed away there when Bonner popped out to Little Mac and Niemi famed.
 Mac Brothers Star
 The Paps didn't give Manning any worries until the seventh frame. They had a runner on in the first when Jimmy Ramsay singled; another in the third when. Roller, playing with sore hand, and a scorched face. missed Nello's grounder to short. Little Mac sim gled in the fourth but it was vast ed.
 The seventh brought revival of Moose hopes. It started in auspi- ciously when Ramsay popped out toI Andrews. Little Mac singled again and scored on Big Macs two-bag- ger to left field. He was trapped off second when Jack Schmitz hit to Manning who turned and shot the ball to second and Mac was run down by Junge, Bonner and Roller.
 Henning singled, advancing J. Schmitz to second and both men expired when Shaw was retired on strikes.
 Double Nips Rally
 Pete Schmitz led off with a sin gle in the eighth frame, and the Moose fans got set for another rally. Their hopes were dashed to' bits, however, when B.

Something less than year ago I happened to chat with Tommy Loughran the eminent Philadel- phia ring artist, in the lobby of Madison Square Garden. IL was not long after he had been handed a freak knockout by Jack Sharkey. A wide grin came as he talked about that affair and the way it had punctured his heavyweight hopes for the time being.
 But say" remarked Tommy, you know I have taken on some more weight and I think I can stage a comeback You boys may laugh at me but I still think I can outoox these big fellows"
 And how he has done it! Bigger. faster and boxing better than ever before, Loughran has punched his way smack into the middle of the big business again by whipping Max Baer. Ernie Schaaf, Fluffy Griffith and Victoria Campolo in succession within less than four months.
 The Loughran that speared ana clouted 230-pound Campolo looked like the smartest heavyweight since Gene Tunney. Even so the breaks are against Tommy for the time being. It's too late for him to move either into the Ohio or New York heavyweight championship picture, with the Schmeling Strip ling and Sharkey-Carnera argu- ments yet to be settled, although he has turned in by far the most impressive fistic performances in 1881 to date.

 With the exception of the stretch between Chatinika, which carried considerable heavy traffic during the breakup period, the route is said to be in good shape. Repairs to the rough section are being made
 The opening of the northern high way provides an auto connection from the coast to the Yukon as Richardson Highway was opened several days ago between Chitina and Fairbanks.

reach, between the business interests
It is possible that the influence of the
International Chamber of Commerce
might be brought to bear upon this point
with particularly happy results"
Pointing out that one of many ways
in which capital can pass from one
country to another Is by transfers Of
international securities, Mr.. van Zee
land declares that the more numerous
the securities in circulation, and the
more numerous the markets on which
they can be bought and sold, the better
they will fulfill their function of regu-
lating the exchange.
But in this case, more even than in
any other" he says. 1T is important
that the movement Of funds, or in other
words the transfer Of securities. shall be
as rapid and as easy as possible. All
formalities that are not absolutely in
dispensable, complicate the mechanism
and prevent 1t from giving its best re-
suits Among such formalitieS may be
mentioned fiscal regulations that are. at
times, entirely out Of date and incom-
prehensible, the disadvantage of which
far outweigh any real advantage the
public treasury may derive from them.
But what must be emphasized above
all, are the obstacles presented to such
circulation by the divergent and COM
plicated regulations Of certain stock ex-
changes, or even by traditions, that
have become meaningless. Such OBJ
stacles are purely artificial, entirely use
less and 1t is astonishing that they can
still exist in modern times.
Moreover, it Is not enough to sup
press these obstacles to the free circu-
iation of securities; 1t is necessary to
seek means Of facilitating 1t and among
such means Vie problem of rationaliza-
ton, creation and development of flu
ture markets deserves very thorough
consideration"

WIDER LISTING IS ADVOCATED
FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITIES
Manager of National Bank of Belgium
Suggests That Foreign Issues Be
Placed on Exchanges.

A wider listing Of foreign securities
on national stock exchanges, especially
securities that are international IN
character, is advocated by Paul van
iceland, manager Of the National Bank
of Belgium, in a report made public
here today by the American section OF
the International Chamber OF Com
merce.
The report. captioned "Certain As
pects of the Importance of International
Securities in the Movement OF Capital
win be discussed at the coming Con-
gress of the international Chamber at
Washington, May 4 to Q.
A freer circulation Of world securities,
such as would be effected by listing
them on national exchanges. Mr.. van
iceland says, would greatly facilitate
the easier now of capital throughout
the money centers Of the world.
In advancing such plan. Mr.. van
cautions must be taken to protect ma
tional savings against dishonest maneu-
vers. Even in the case OF securities
listed after careful selection, 1t Is neces-
Sary to choose q time when economic
conditions are favorable. Doubtless,
also, the characteristics that make any
given security really an international
security escape the control OF q State
or q group, inasmuch as they are the
outcome OF economic evolution and Of
the past history, both Of the concern
itself and the slices Of capital invested
In 1t.
But all these reservations" the re-
port continues, cannot prevent the con-
clusion that it Is to the public interest
to favor such liStings. A comparative
inquiry into the technical conditions on
the various markets would doubtless
show that immediate progress could be
made by an understanding, easy TO

MILLS AND FARMS

Cotton Industry's Prosperity
Seen Dependent Upon
Agriculture.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AUGUSTA, Ca. April 24.-The
American Cotton Manufacturers Asso-
citation in thirty-fifth annual conven-
ton, today made the relationship be-
tween agricultural and textile prosperity
the keynote of their discussions.
B. Z. Geer Of Greenville, S. c., presi-
dent of the association, said 1t was ques-
k.onable whether Southern cotton manu-
featuring can again be stabilized until
agriculture has been resuScitated," while
Carl Williams, cotton representative on
the Federal Farm Board pointed out
that the reduced buying power of farm
ers, caused by low cotton prices. was
reflected in a reduced demand for tex
tiles.
Stone on Program.
James G.. Stons, Farm Board chair
man; George A. Sloan, president of the
Cotton Textile Institute, and DR.. Clar-
ence Poe, president and editor of the
ralist, Raleigh. N. c., were. also on the
program of the convention which con-
tinues through tomorrow.
Williams expressed the view that the
threatened tragic disappearance" Of
American cotton from world markets
would not take place, and cited Stats
tics to show that exports this past Feb
ruary and March were considerably
greater than during the same months
last year. He advised diversification Of
crops to raise both human and livestock
food as "the real salvation of the South
ern cotton farmer"
Geer told the convention that 81 can
not believe that our business as cotton
manufacturers can permanently prosper
unless this prosperity Is shared with
that great army of consumers who are

both the cotton grower and the cotton
spinner was 1.-The acute, unusual, espe-
cially severe business depression" Then,
predicting business recovery some time
in the future, he added that the event.

time be translated into terms of price
