DEMOCRATS MAKE
PLATFORM PLANS
Shouse Announces Committee Will
Meet Four Days Before Open
ing of Convention.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Dem
ocratic National Executive Committee,
announced yesterday an informal meet
ing of the party's Platform and Resolu-
tions Committee would begin four days
before the national convention to draft
tentative platform.
More than majority Of the COM
mittee members have been designated
and have accepted the suggestion made
by former Gov Byrd Of Virginia to meet
June % and thresh out the less con-
troversial issues Of the platform with
an idea Of speeding up the conventions
work.
1T is highly desirable that the work
of the convention shall be expedited to
the fullest extent, and that the usual
delays In the formulation Of declara.
ton Of party principles by the Commit
tee on Platform and Resolutions may be
minimized," Shouse said In q statement
accompanying the announcement
by this method it is believed that
most Of the subjects of the platform
that are not highly controversial can be
formulated in a satisfactory manner
prior to the formal and Official desig-
nation Of the Platform Committee by
the convention

have q chance during the next few
weeks to interpret quite a few moods.
Finally. visitors should be interested
to know that the name Of the staff

Another boast of the building which
is to house the political conventions is
that it can manufacture weather to

AS for the other vital statistics Of the
building which will house the show, it
is located miles west Of the hotel dis
trict, according to the tatxi driver, and
that is not such bad break for the taxi
drivers of Chicago. In case there are
more than $4,000 people in Chicago who
want to listen to the convention at any
given moment, they are asked not to
crowd around outside the stadium, but
to go to neighboring park. where 1000
or 5000 more can listen to loud speakers.
Broadcasting Tested.
Today the convention hall was the ex-
perimenting ground for about % radio
engineers, squabbling with architects
and committee members as to where all
their wires and things should be To-
Gated The only departure In broadcast
ing this year. we were told. is the para
bolic microphone, being tried out in

his words shall not be lost to posterity

he were standing in the little chalked
circle where platform speakers were told
to stand at other conventions If they
wanted to be heard back home.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE next
fight will be" reads q big sign
stretched across the end of the huge
hall of the Chicago Stadium, which u
to house both the Republican National
Convention opening Tuesday. and the
Democratic fracas which takes place
on June 81.
The sign will be covered over when
the delegates file into convention hall
A little, gray-haired woman today was
stitching some red. white and blue
bunting to blot out the fight sign. But
though the sign will be covered. there
is likely to be a real fight IN both
the national conventions. The Repun-
licans have the wet and dry battle
coming and the Democrats have SC
many fights in prospect that there Is
no use trying to list them yet.
Anyway, this stadium is expected to
be the scene Of the nomination OF the
next President Of the United States. II
may be as historic q building as the
old hall in v,lich Abraham Lincoln
was nominated in 1860, with the con-
ditions now prevailing.

so far as results are concerned. What I want to find out is which is the easiest and fastest, under the stress of transatlantic flying conditions.
 If we carry wireless I will be able to check definitely the navi- gation by radio bearings with ships. This is the first time that any transatlantic fliers have set out definitely to check their naviga- tion.
 Need Special Instruments
 So far as aerial navigating in- struments are still very close to those used at sea. Before we can get very far towards aerial accu- racy l feel that the instruments we use must be specially designed for the trying conditions under which we must use them.
 What I have described, of course, are only a few of the problems an aerial navigator must solve. There is the problem of wind drift for example, which alone could send you far off your course.
 All of the stunt" hasn't left transatlantic flying, to be sure, but if I don't learn good deal from this double field I will be pretty surprised navigator.

Piles Go Quick
Without saives or Cutting

Thousands of sufferers from itch ing, bleeding or protruding piles have learned that quick and per-. manent relief can only be accom- plished with an internal medicine. Neither salves nor cutting remove, the cause.
 Bad circulation of the blood in the lower bowel causes piles. The veins are flabby, the bowel walls weak-the parts almost dead. To end Piles an internal medicine must be used to stimulate the circulation, heal and restore the affected parts.
 Dr. J. S. Leonhardt was the first to discover a real internal Pile remedy. He called his prescription HEM -ROID, and prescribed it for 1000 patients with the marvellous record of success in 960 cases, and then decided every Pile sufferer should be able to get HEM -ROID, tablets from their own druggist with rigid money back guaran- tee.
 Dr. Leonhardt's HEM-ROID has an almost unbelievable record of success right in this city. So why waste time on external treatments or worry about an operation when Juneau Drug Go, invites every Pile sufferer to try HEM -ROID with guarantee of money back if it does not end their Piles, no matter how stubborn the case? adv.

DUBLIN, May 5.-when J A Mollis0n and myself start out across, the Atlantic in the next few weeks my job will be to know where we are going and where we are.
 We will be heading for New York, via Newfoundland on a roundtrip Atlantic flight.
 Atlantic flights have lost some of their novelty as mere ad- venture, and this will be my sec- ond flight across. But if the world Is ever to have reliable, regular flying oyer sea, there must be many such pioneering flights.
 Only in this way can we add to the slender knowledge of aerial navigation which is the corner stone upon which transatlantic aid service must be built.
 When I navigated the Southern Cross for Kingsford- Smith had only ship instruments. none of them specially designed for air plane work.
 Air Navigation Difficult Working with navigating iflstru- ments on board ship is vastly diff ferent from using them aboard a plane There is a stability to a ship.
 With the plane there is lack of space, it's great speed, intense cold the roar of the motors and the constant vibration which hampers delicate observations, sends your books and charts skittering about 1.-the cabin
 More than this, there is a psy- chological difference. Flying over land you usually know where you are by maps and landmarks, and you have a considerable margin of safety.
 But flying over sea there are no landmarks wave is just the same. Sometimes you do not get more than a glimpse of the sun. I set the course of the Southern Cross, for example, by dead reck- oning most of the way, relying on my sea experience.
 This time I hope to have chance to check some of the meth- pds I used last time, I mean to use three systems of aerial navi- gation-the Marc St. Hilare meth pd, with Dreidenstock's American sules, the British Balls Altitude tables, and another American me- thod using stars, known as Weems star curves.
 They are all much the same,

 for him to fly from Fairbanks to Nome. He isn't joyful over the prospect but is hopeful Like the Negro who, after his first aerial trip, thanked the pilot for two rides-hiS first and last--1le said he would shake hands with the pilot of his plane when it reaches Nome.
 This is Capt. Trowbridge's first Alaska trip and conditions found did not altogether come up to ex- psctations. He is still looking for dogteams and sleds, and the snow shoe trail. Even Mendenhan Glac- fer disappointed him. Not even the closest search there yielded up what he termed an iceberg worm" The reindeer herds lie ahead and maybe they'll live more nearly up to their advance mo- tices.
