 It's visit will come as a fitting climax to the great Exposition that has brought millions to the lake shore city all summer and fall It is expected to bring a record crowd for the final week of the Fair, which comes to close Octo- Der 31.
 Moored Near Fair
 Latest developments indicate that the Graf will be moored in Wash ington Park, only short distance from the south end of the Fair.
 Tentative schedule calls for the Zeppelin to return to Akron Octo- Der 27. From there it will leave carrying a load of excursion pas sengers from the United States Oc- tober 28. It will reach Seville Spain, October 30, and will land at it's home port in Friederich- shafer October 31.

 Proves Air Travel Safe
 During the entire year 1892 the Graf travelled exactly according to schedule, except for two trips where there was delay of 24 hours Passenger lists and the amount of mail carried have steadily increased as the ship has done more and more to prove that transoceanic air voyages are safe and practical reality

STATEMONOPOLY| LICENSE SYSTEM l FOR LIQUOR SALE
Relative Merits Are Dis cussed by Rockefeller,
 IT,, Committee

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-There IS made public today a portion of the results, shortly to be published, of a study, sponsored by John D.. Rockefeller, Jr., of the problem of liquor control. The study was con- ducted by Raymond B. Fosdick and Albert L. Scott. The portion made public today. comparing the State monopoly system with the license system of liquor control, follows.
 "The test of all plans is in their practical operation. It is not pos sible to compare American experi- ence under license system with experience under a State alcohol authority, because no American State has ever operated under the latter plan.
 Experience abroad. though sug- gestive, is, because of marked diff ferences in social conditions, far from conclusive Perhaps the most nearly comparable is the Canadian experience under which in eight O. the nine Provinces, both Pro- hibition and license have been abandoned in favor of the State monopoly system. Our own careful investigations in Canada indicate that the systems are working with reasonable success. Although the Canadians have by no means solved all the difficulties, they are making distinct and intelligent progress. We found in Canada widespread ap- proval of the underlying idea of State monopoly. Few desire tc re- turn to the license system.
 Plans Contrasted
 Let us examine more specifically the inherent points of strength and weakness in the public mon opoly and private license plans in dealing with such matters as sales stimulation, advertising, price con- troI, character of liquor sales shops temperance education and liability to graft and corruption.
 Tt should be observed, first of all, that the objective is the same under both plans, namely, to place the sale of liquor under series of restrictions devised to curtail excessive consumption. The only difference lies in the method of achieving this object. The licensing system endeavors to establish these controls through negative rules, regulations, conditions and taxes, imposed from without, upon private enterprise, which necessarily is con- ducted for personal profit The State Authority plans endeavors to impose these controls through posi- tive management from within public enterprise conducted for the benefit of society.
 Sales Stimulation
 "In what way do these differ ences in method of control affect the problem of sales stimulation? The answer is obvious. Under a State monopoly system, the liquor would be sold directly by the State through chain of stores, the profits turned into the State treas ury, and that would be the end of it. No individual connected with the retail sale would gain one pen ny by reason of his sales, nor would his employment be imperiled if he failed to show good sales return. as might be the case in private trade.
 Tn harmony with the underlying principle of the Authority, the employees waiting on the customers in the various State stores would be under strict super

Hollywood-Clara Bow has been having the time of her life on her vacation in Europe. She's as ex- cited as a child, for this is her first trip abroad.
 Such is the news the mailman brought this morning in the form of a letter from Clara in Berlin. How the little redzhead ever found time to write is a mystery; but here's the letter just the same:
 "I have been on the go every minute since the Bremen docked at Southampton. used to think there were a lot of reporters and photographers in Hollywood but you fellows are just pikers. l never saw so many newspaper peo- pie as I met upon arrival in Eng land.
 ''When I saw them coming a. board the ship I was so excited l nearly died, wondering if they all were coming to see me. Most of them were anyway. They made pictures and asked questions and made more pictures in the tender going ashore. I had to pose for more pictures on the wharf and on the train going to London, an- spering questions between times.
 And at the Waterloo Station in London. there were more photo- graphers, dozens of them, they all talking pictures of Rex and me. Then we went to the hotel where we had just an hour to change clothes before attending a press reception. There must have been 75 newspaper men there, Gee, 1t was fun.
 We stayed in London only eight days but I guess I saw everything there was to see in that time-ex- cept the Prince of Wales. We went dancing at the Embassy club and at the Savoy hotel. Visited Tom Walls, the stage and screen star, at his country estate and saw his horse, April the Fifth, which won the Derby last year. We also visit ed the Tower of London and saw the Grown jewels.
 "One morning I planned to go out and watch fox hunt which started at 6:30. But when 6:30 came still was fast asleep.
 There was another big recep- ton in Berlin. It seemed to me like all of the newspaper men in Europe were there but that prob- ably is an exaggeration. I also met Lillian Harvey and Willy Frit- sch, two of Germany's biggest film stars, at the reception.
 "In Berlin we attended an elab- crate party given by Henry Kahn on the Eden Roof Garden, which seems to be the society gathering place of, Berlin. Ernest Lubitsch was in our party that night, too. We had a swell time dancing and singing. The next evening MT Kahn gave a dinner party which, while a bit more subdued, was just as much as the party of the night before.
 If you ever come to Berlin, there is one place you must visit. That's the Haus Vaterland, almost a palace in itself. There is a huge lobby off of which are 10 restau-

The consolidated high school symphony orchestra held another rehearsal last night in the Wilby auditorium in preparation for their 14th annual concert which will be presented tomorrow evening in the same hall at 8:15 o'clock.
 Marjorie Nash -Nuhn will be the featured soloist tomorrow while Floyd c. Evans, director, will be heard in a violin specially. Betty Mink will be heard on the harp and Adolph Abbenante on the vio- loncello.
 Overture to "Semiramide" the opening number, will be presented by Toffie Thomas and Lawrence Kaleshko of Crosby. This opera was written by Rossini prior to 1923, and presented in Venice dur ing that year. The overture was written in less than a months time and, with the exception of the aria, "Casta Diva" is about all that re- mains of the work. The overture is a brief story of the events of the opera, and the composer has Ven- tured to give some of the harmonic passages to the brass choir, an un- dertaking quite unknown at that time.
 Malcom Palmer, Evelyn Alexan- der and Jeannette Wolozin of Cros- by will be heard in the overture to "Mignon." The story of "Mignon" is based on the abduction of high-born young lady and her so- journ with gypsy tribe. Mignon's abduction caused Lothario, her fa- ther, to become mentally deranged. He wanders from place to place in the guise of harpist searching for his lost daughter. The overture introduces the main characters of the opera in turn; first, the harpist Lothario, then the lovely air of Mignon, "Knowest thou that fair land?" sung by the French horn, and later the coquettish Filina's air I'm Fair Titania," introduced by

"The White Sister"
 Ends Palace Run

Tonight at the Palace theater will mark the closing performances of one of the most popular pie lures ever filmed, The White Sis ter" with Helen Hayes and Clark Gable in the leading roles, the fin- al showing tonight will be at 6:55 and 9:30 o'clock.
 For Thursday to Saturday the management of the Palace have been fortunate in being able to se- cure for presentation one of the most popular films of the year, ! Strictly Personal the story of love starved people in this country and deals with the Lonely Heart Clubs, that are gaining in leaps and bounds.
 Wives and husbands are for sale in the United States to-day. |. ... .either from mail order or di- rect contact matrimonial agencies. Thousands of adventurous Romeos and hopeful Juliets tie the nuptiai knot yearly, under the benign in fiuence or "clubs" which for q fee have brought them together.
 Newspapers and magazines have wiso-cracked about the situation or have written bitterly denunciatory articles about it, depending on their respective sense of humor. Now for the first time, the subject has bene touched by motion pie lures. The first film is Strictly Personal" and it boasts of a three star cast, Dorothy Jordan, Marjorie Rambeau and Eddie Quillan.
 The leading clubs of the coun- try were secured for authentic data and the story when started was of an altogether different theme, but in one of the lower class clubs which had fallen into the hands of racketeers, a startling condition was found and this be- came the basis of this story, so that it is actually a true story, with actors instead of the real persons and you will find out that once again at some times, truth is stranger than fiction.
 Startling conditions were found that will make sensational pie ture, the idea of starved per sons who for a fee, join a mar 'Ariage club, they are placed in touch with a person of the opposite sex, . correspondence passes through the .~ .~headquarters and is forwarded 4.from there to each other, some ..times, they never see each other ,iuntil they meet at the altar, so to Speak.

"The Great Jasper"
 Is Strand Feature

Richard Dix scores a convincing triumph in 'The Great Jasper" {" which heads the Strands double feature program to-day and tomor- row. He is supported by an ex- cellent cast including Vera Engels, Florence Eldridge, Edna May Oli- yer, Bruce Cabot and Betty Fur ness.
 The story is a stirring, heart throbbing one leavened with rather delicious natural humor. Jasper IS ordered to leave his home town when his boss and benefactor dis covers that Jasper and not himelf is the father of his wife's son.
 Jasper goes to Atlantic City, where he thinks a man ought to find plenty of fun. Thanks to the impression he makes on an old and homely fortune teller, he be- comes a famous seer For Women only" As his fortunes and his affairs progress he is happy but for the stubbornness of Jenny, his wife in refusing to live with him and their boy.
 Years pass and Jasper and. Jenny are almost united> again through mutual love for the boy, now grad uated from college and engaged to q beautiful girl. A gripping climax arises when Jenny on the verge of forgiving Jasper, discovers the illegitimate son, and that son wrecks the hap piness of the other by stealing his sweetheart.
 Jasper finds himself in the pe- culiar position of being aligned, through his love for his own flesh and blood, against the very things he had always tolerated with a smile and wink.
 The companion feature is From Hell to Heaven The cast in cludes Carole Lombard, Jack Oakie, Adrienne Ames and David Manners. The story concerns the effect of a great Derby running on group of people of diversified back grounds and circumstances. It is said to be mafvelously entertaining and different from the average run of films.

 While in the United States (1892) Dvorak wrote the New World Sym phony." Having become interested in the Tribal dances of the American Indian and the lore and "Spirituals" of the Southern Negro he compiled these influences into one composition. The beloved and beautiful Largo is well known to audiences in this and the old world. As to what it represents, we are doubtful. After a lovely chord in- troduction, the "A" theme is sung by the English horn, a strictly solo instrument. The ''B", theme is sub ordinate to the main theme, and the dark chords, which are used in the first part, bring the movement to a close.
