None of the dis tricts are subnormal and conditions, look favorable for normal or bet ter runs everywhere. It was ap parent that the Commissioner was encouraged over the general situa tion and was of Die opinion that proper escapements, which an provided for in the current regu lations, will tie had in all of the spawning streams. "It is too early in the season t$ make any forecasts regarding lift output of the cann»rl-s in Soutw, eastern Alaska,” he said. “So far the fish have been showing up well and at the present lime the outlook for a successful year It favorable. "Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound have had at least normal runs and packs to date. Copper River Good “Copper River has been good this season. If the present regu lations are continued for another cyclic period or so it looks like the runs there will he restored mid si 111 permit a certain amount of fishing. “On the Nushagak side of Bris tol Bay, the results liave been ex cellent. In fact the runs have been so good that a limit has been put on by the canneries. “The south side of the area has not been so fortunate. The early runs were lighter, but late re ports from the field indicate ma terial improvement of the runs. However, it is expected that the red fish pack there will be some what short of normal.” Just Usual Business The Commission* r's trip is the usual visit he makes to the Terri tory every summer during the sal mon fishing season. The main objects are to he on the ground so as to facilitate administration procedure, to observe conditions generally affecting the fisheries and the canning industry and gather data upon which the regu lations for the season of l!i2!) will be based. He will remain here at this time but a day or two, leaving Wednes day night or Thursday morning, lie plans to go as far West as Kodiak. Island area which he will cover.

War Controversy After taking on an amount of work during tile war that would have exhausted a man of less physical endurance. Senator Cham berlain crossed swords with Presi dent Wilson, leader of his own party, in UI18 when lie publicly charged that the War President had ceased to function. An open letter from President Wilson fol lowed and the controversy was carried to the floor of the senate, where the Oregon senator delivered a three hours’ speech in support of his position. One of the measures in whicn Senator Chamberlain took pride was that revising' the Articles of War. This legislation, he con tended, eliminated the ’‘Pru3siai’ idea of absolute power of the men at the top," and "liberalized and democratized,” the articles. The National Defense Act, ol 1!)16, in the preparation of which he was identified, was urged by him as the basts for the expanded army in the war. In the conduct of the war, Sena tor Chamberlain was one of the most vigorous opponents to the billeting of American troops with those of their associate nations although he supported the idea ol a united command.

This picture is at the Palace ‘onighf. With Lew Cody in the title Audi leading role, and with a cast in-j eluding Carmel Myers, Dorothy Phillips, Roy D’Arcy, Malcolm McGregor and this charming lew comer, Mareeline Day, The »ay Deceiver,” offers a generous sam ple of sincere and sophisticated entertainment that the discrimi nating theatre-goer cannot afford to overlook. A simple story, this, as ail gne.l motion picture stories arc. It is laid in a background of Paris and France. It concerns a man who discovers at the heydey of a great stage career, when the world is his oyster, that thi-re comes a time in every man’s life when he isn’t the man he used to he, that there are certain advan tages in a home, a fireside and a faithful and loyal wife that cannot be offset by the adulation of the general public, nor the ficklj dt-j votion of will-o’-the wisp ladies whose love is directed toward the achievement rather than the achiever. There are two love stories in “The Gay Deceiver.” One Is the love of man and wife who had drifted apart, whose separation had grown to 19 years before they dis covered that their original belief that they were meant for each other was correct. The other is a story of roman tic young love, with the daughter of “The Gay Deceiver," one of the characters. *f HOLLYWOOD BEAUTY COMING, COLISEUM U- -—--Ji Frances Lee, famous as one of Hollywood's film beauties, has the leading feminine role in “Good as Gold,” Fox Film’s latest release starring Buck Jones and coming to the Coliseum Saturday.

Hicks belonged tc the Low den camp but got an oppor tunity to vote for his old col lege friend when the Lowden candidacy was withdrawn. By W. A. WELLS (Associated Press Feature Editor) KANSAS CITY, July 10. The Herbert Hoover old cronies know is not the Herbert Hoover whose portrait in tne public mind is that of a somewhat austere, unemotion al, machine like man. Rather, they know him ns a warm-hearted person, shy and re served of manner, yet cordial in his friendly confidences. And the picture they draw of him dates back to the time when a slander, studious youth named Hoover was One of several “under dogs” at Stanford university who cooked their own meals over a kerosene stove in batten frame “shacks’ that were built for working men employed at the university. The "under dogs” were those described by the students in a good-natured way, as those who could not afford to live ai a fra ternity house, explained L. J. Hinsdale of Sacramento. Cal. Hinsdale was one of two delegate, t.6 lhe Republican national con vention who were members of the same class at Stanford as the man chosen Republican presiden tial nominee. “Hoover never lost his sym pathy for underdogs, nor in after life overlooked an opportunity to lighten the burdens of those who had to struggle as he had to to get an education." said Hinsdale. “This trait of his, of always wanting to help the under dog. gives one his first glimpse of the real Hoover. 1 was unusually fortunate in being placed so that I could see into the heart of him. for he permitted me to play a humble part in his first big kind ness. “Hoover, after graduation, wen, to work in a Nevada mine. I be lieve he earned $30 a month. Then he was hired by Louis Ja nin, a French mining man. as a sort of roustabout. There was some mine litigation pending and Hoover helped in the gathering of technical mine data in a way that amazed his employer. ‘Why didn't you tell :ne you were a university graduate?’ Ju nin asked, when he charged Hoov er with possessing technical knowledge that no roustabout could be expected to have. T thought you wouldn’t hire me if you knew I was a green, college youth,’ Hoover told me he replied to Janin. “The employer showed his gratitude by recommending Hoov er for a mission in Australia in the employ of the liewich More ing Co., involving a camel ride into the desert. He was just 23 and his salary was to he $500 a month and expenses! Many years later he declined a proffered sal ary of a half million a year, hut I ant not at liberty to talk about that, “Almost the first letter I re ceived from Hoover when he was in Australia outlined a charac teristic scheme. He wanted to set aside a certain part of his pay check ’to help take care f relatives and deserving students. He asked me to administer the fund and he said, as I recall it.) ‘If there are any of the old stu dents you ami I know who are) still in the struggle-stage, 1 want ycu to help them'." Among Hinsdale’s treasured possessions are dozens of letters which he got from his former classmate as he traveled about the world and climbed from ob scurity to international fame. Another college mate, Mark L. Requa. Californian of prominence in politics, tells a more recent in cident of Hoover's inability to witness suffering or distress with; complacency. “We were attending A theatre together. In one of the scenes( 'MKxnssx a mother seized an loo cream cone out of the hands of her child In an ill-tempered way. The chil i cried long and loud and when I glanced at Hoover tears were visible on his checks." II K. Hicks, Rockford. 111., bust ness man who was one of Hoov er’s few intimates at the univer sity, came to Kansas City luncit ing that because of his residence in Lowden’s home state, he could not consistently vote at the con vention for his old campus mate. When the Kowden eaifdidacj crashed, however, his ballot was one of those that went to swell the Hoover total.

BRINGING UP FATHER By GEORGE McMANUS ©AY- WHO HIRED THAT LOAFER.-THAT Ju‘=>'r _) WEMT out of THE j BATTLE FOR HOME RUN LEADERSHIP ADDS INTEREST TO NATIONAL RACE mmrnmrn$*r "hack*' WILSON The crash of home run blows from the explosive bats of four mighty sluggers in the National League is heard around the world of baseball these days. Hornsby of the Braves, Bottomley of the Cardinals, Wilson of the Cubs and Bissonette of the Bobins comprise the Big Four whose potent bats blast drive after drive into home run territory. Consequently, the American League with its inimitable Babe Buth stands second in total circuit drives for the season. By JAY R. VESSELS (Feature Service Sports Editor) NEW YORK, July 10. Putting Inside pitches on the outside of the park is the business of the Big Four of home run hi’ters- in the National League. It’s a pretty batting race that Hornsby, Bottomley, Hack Wilson and Bissonett© are making. It's a race tiiat’s adding still greater punch to a gripping pennant, con test in the senior circuit The four barons of biff art grouped so closely that when Bot tomley and Bissonette were tied for the lead with 15 each the oth er two were deadlocked for second place with 14 each. Sunny Jim lost an opportunity to help bis rat ing when one of his four-base blows came in a game that suc cumbed to rain in the third in ning. Automatically the league total of homes has shot skyward and the American League with its master clouter of all, Babe Ruth, stands second in home runs for the sea son. The National has about 280. approximately 30 more than the American. A new name in major league baseball is included among the home run brigade. It is that of Del Bissonette. 1927 International League champion. He came to Brooklyn from the Class AA loop with a fine record of having led the league in homers, triples and doubles last year. All pitchers still look alike to Del, and his mighty bat has helped Brooklyn remain a factor in the National League race. The other three are long distance clubbers of recognized standing, especially Hornsby and Bottom ley. Hack Wilson couldn’t find the range until he changed from a Giant to a Cub uniform. Hack topped the league in homers in 1920 and hit 36 doubles to finish third in that division. He came right bahk last year to tie Cy Wil liams for the home run leader ship and to bang out 30 doubles. It’s just the same old story with the Rajah and Sunny Jim bottom HORNSBY’S EIGHT-YEAR RECORD HR 3B 2H PCT. 11*20 f* 20 (2) 41 (1) .370 (1 1921 21 (2) 18*f1 44 (1) .397 (2) 1922 42 (i, 14 1923 17 10 1924 25 (2) 14 1925 39 (1* 10 1920 11 5 1927 20 (2) 9 40 (1) 401 (1) 32 .384 (1) 43 (1) .423 (1) 41 (41 .403 (1) 34 .310 32 .301 (2) Number In parenthesis indicates rat inn. •Tied for first with Ray Powell, Braves.

Sunny Jim got the heavy hitting complex when he came to the majors to play under Hornsby in St. Louis. When Jim hit St. Louis in 1923 he found Hornsby in the midst of a battling rampage that carried him to a new National League rec ord for all time—the league batting championship of four consecutive years. But Jim started taking the old toe hold, and the first year he1 was second in doubles with 34 and I finished second in batting to! Hornsby, the league pace setter,! with a mark of .371. His 141 homers and 31 doubles In 1924 got him nothing but a season’s battin average of .316. j Sunny Jim checked in with 41 doubles in 1!)25 to lead the league and also hit 21 homers and 12 three baggers for a season’s aver-| age of .307. His 40 doubles gave' him the league leadership in 1926, and his 19 homers placed him sec ond in homers in a season cli maxed by the Cardinals’ victory In the pennant race and the world series. Last year Bottomley drove j out 19 home runs and 15 triples, finishing fifth and second, respec-j tively. As for Hornsby, his record com prises just about one oattln^ championship after another. Ami this year may be one of his best. He is well on his way to the fourth .400 year. He led the league with 42 homers in 1922 and also was first in doubles with 40. In homers and doubles he has been first twice and four times, respec tively; he finished second 'n hom ers three times. Hornsby's drive for additional batting and distance hitting hon ors may be hampered this year by his new managerial duties, if precedent prevails. When he pi loted the Cardinals to the world’s championship in 1920 his batting fell off to .310 for the season, his lowest percentage in nine years. Another three months will tell how bossing the Braves will affect, him.

Kinsella, for 20 yearn scout for the New York Giants, was a delegate at large from Illi nois to the Democratic National j Convention at Houston, "Dick'’ Kinsella, as he is known to th ni anils of baseball fans, lives at Springfield when he is at home. Most of his time is spent in trav eling in the minors in search of I likely talent to be placed uncl o the tutelage of John J. Midi raw at the Polo Grounds and points West when the Giants are on tour. Mr. Kinsella killed two birds with one stone at Houston. 11c faithfully attended the sessions of the convention but at the same time fulfilled his obligation to Stonoham, McGraw Co., by go ing to a Texas League baseball game every afternoon. “Please make it clear,” he said, “if you write anything about my attend ance at the convention that I went to the ball game every day." There was no hope that he could un cover any stars for the Giants on the Houston Club, owned by the St. Louis Cardinals but he gave a careful once over to the visi tors. Dick Kinsella in his long serv ive as a Scout has sent the New York club some of its brightest stars. He was responsible for the advancement.'of Larry Doyl•*. Rub Marquard, Chief Myers, an I many others. Perhaps his nti.-d. shill ing monument on the current edi tion of the Giants is Travis Jack son captain of the club ant tliorl stop extraordinary.

Trades, purchases and signing of free agents go on apace and the Cardinal farm, able to coast to the first half honors, may find a rockier road to travel as the um mer goes on. Houston with a new half million dollar plant got a good start to ward paying for the equipment by drawing approximately 125,000 ad missions for the first half.

Old pacers for sale at The Empire. MINNEAPOLIS, July 10.— A sharp distinction between that ini art which is freakish and that which is intelligent and original; was drawn today by Ella M, Whit-, ter, head of the art department, C( ntral high school, Minneapolis, in a lecture before the National Conference on Art Education. ‘‘The many isms in modern art, its great variety of expression, its use of am usual mediums,” she said, “have given rise to a widespread idea that modern art is freakish, ugly and crude, produced by in competents, subnormals and the commercially dishonest. Modern exhibitions and press art criticism cause long and sometimes heated discussions, adding to the lay man’s confusion. This problem of modern art must be met by every live art instructor. "Always there has been modern art. Possibly at no other per iod have the methods of expression been so varied. Competent art critics judge a large proportion of Hie modern so-called art as poor. Every new movement has its weak members. Our aim must bo to got the viewpoint of the intelli gent modernist and to understand ills method of approach.” Miss Witter said that the teach ing of decorative design was in advance of the understanding of pictorial design. “The naturalistic rose is gone,” she said. ‘‘Joyful creative work within design limitut: ms has long been encouraged. Pi'lure making must be developed with tills larger vision, primarily it must he the design, the creative building of the whole with lines, planes and forms rhythmically related in deep space. Such was the realization of the old masters.” Seattle-bound passengers on the Alameda Include Sarn Shucklin and L. M. Carrlgan, commercial brokers. Did You Ever 7 Stop to Think By Edson K.

It sounded like a good reason and he was honest about it. He really believed it. “Then came a time w'hen he was laid up and couldn’t get away so easily. He needed something that he had been sending for away from home. He went to Ids little dealer with a sample of what he wanted and asked i! it could he ordered for him. “"What size do you want?’ asked the modest small-town chant. iner ‘About a number three, I think,’ replied the customer. “'That’s the size we sell most,’ replied the merchant as he handed out a box with as large a variety as the customer had ever seen. “The customer took his mercandise and walked out. He was making is livlihood in that little town. He became a little hit ashamed of himself and he went hack to the merchant and made a confession. “As he was passing out the merchant remarked: ‘We have a lot of things in this store which you have been buying out-of-town. Why don’t you give us a chance?’ “Up to this point my sympathies had been ivith the poor little merchant. But l shifted when my friend rejoined: ‘How did I know? I never saiv you advertise them.

Waters between Labrador and Greenland wiil be studied by a Coast Guard expedition this sum-! mer in an attempt to lcam more about icebeigs end other marine conditions. In a patrol boat like :hat at the lower left, the party under Lieutenant Commander Edward H. Smith will cover the routed charted at the right. i By COLEMAN B. JONES I (A.P. Science Editor) WASHINGTON', July in A staunch new, specially equipped Coast (iuaiil patrol Imal will leave Heston today with a picked crew detailed to find out something about the vast expanse of ice rid den sea which lies between Labra dor and Greenland. The expedition is being under taken at the instance of Rear Ad miral Frederick Hillard, com mandant of the Coast Guard in the interest of the scientific work of the International Ice Patrol, in which a dozen maritime nations are associated. He has ordered that the best of the service’s new 125-foot steel patrol boats be selected for the 4,000-mlle voyage and, recognizing the perils likely to lie encounter, d in the practically unknown sea, has directed that the safety of the crew shall lie the primary consid-j eration of the officers. Lieutenant Commander Edward] II. Smith, one of the most noted oceanographers in the government service, who has been with the Ice, patrol for ten years, will be in' command. Lieutenant N. G. Kick-1 etl.s, scientific observer of the International Ice Patrol, will be second in command, and the craw of Ik is being assembled from vol unteers and members of the Coast Guard selected for good seaman ship and scientific inclinations. From Iloston the expedition will proceed to Sydney, Nova Scotia, and then strike out on a voyage which is expected to keep them out of sight of land for the great-1 er part of six weeks or two months. A large reserve sup ply of fuel oil will be carried on deck and three radio sets will lie I used in maintaining communica tion. Tlie scientific equipment will in clude an electric salinity appar atus developed by tlie llureuu of Standards to facilitate the study of sea water at various depths, and an electric hoist which will per mit the frequent taking of sain pits and temperatures several thousand fathoms down. Hereto fore it has been necessary to place the water samples In bottles and wait sometime before they could be analyzed, tint with the new ap paratus this work can be accomp lished in about ten minutes. A special fathometer will lie in stalled on the hull of the vessel to ascertain the contours of tlie sea bottom by nu nsuring tlie time ii takes a sound wave to travel down and back through the water. Such soundings will be made atiout every J5 miles and will give the fii.sl comprehensive idea ever obtained ot tlie ocean bed in this region. Not only is a complete ocoano graphic chart to be sought, but ac curate knowledge of the plant and animal life in the sea, the cur lents which govern the movement of icebergs southward into the shipping lanes and the prevailing wind and weather conditions. This information is expected to be of great value to the hydrographic office of the navy, the Hureau of Fisheries and the Weather Bureau. These government agencies have belli invited to :nrkp suggestions to thi! expedition officers, who will cooperate with the Danish Hiis CarteiiHen oceanographic expedi tion, which will be in the sani waters during the summer. BEAR AND DEER SEEN NEAR HERE Evidence that the larger animals of the woods are not leaving this section of the country, was brought In over the week-end by autoisL. and hikers who were taking ad vantage of the fine, favorable weather. Iirice Howard and ills son were making a return hike from Mon tana Creek where they had been fishing when something which looked like a ten-story building suddenly blocked their path. On further investigation it proved to be a big brownie with two cubs, one little one and the other a one year old. The bear shoved the cubs behind her and then paused to look the situation over. The Howards held their ground, “choos ing not to run,” and after what seemed a few weeks to the pe destrians the bears left the trail and continued their journey thru the foothills of Mt. McGinnis. Probably more unusual than this was the appearance of two deer on Glacier Highway. A party of autoists who were on a turn about one-half mile on the town-side of Auk Luke, were suddenly surpris ed to find the deer in the path of their headlights. The car went unite close to the animals before they bounded from the road into the timber.
