Y., Dec. 20.-- The margin of profit in play production has shrunk to such an extent that four of five must succeed if the producer would escape bankruptey, Gilbert Miller said to-day in an- nouncing that he will produce no more plays on the American stage. Hereafter, he said, he will pro- duce all his plays in London, select the successful ones and bring them over here for presentation with the London settings. In this way he hopes to avoid the "useless labor costs" which he larg- ely attributed the difficulties of play producing here, "It once was possible for a pro- ducer in New York," he said, "to afford the luxury of a few failures. Not many years ago one success in five plays was a profitable aver- age. To-day a producer must have four out of five plays succeed to avoid bankruptey. The producer said that production costs were so high here that experimentation in new theatrical methods was all but impossible. FATHERLY ADVICE T0 DAUGHTER NOT T0 GET MARRIED Edward Johnson Feared Singing "Romeo" and Be- ing Also a Grandfather Guelph, Ont,, Dee, 20.--At a din ner in his honor here recently Ed- ward Johnson renowned tenor, spoke of his daughter and his an- xiety to care for her, "When I left her the last time at school" he sald; "I offered a plece of fatherly ad- vice, I said, Now, my dear, you are Dr, Walter Runuge of the Inter- national Coal Carbonization come pafiy which is installing the distil- lation. plant says it does ngt re- quire an extravagant imagination to picture the manufacture of furni- ture wainscoting and ornamental building material from coal tar, . Prediction that coal tars would provide material for making outer walls of buildings in rainbow colors was made before the International Conference on Bituminous Coal in Pittsburgh in November, The gasoline made as a by-pro- duet from the low temperature dis- tillation of coal is said to contain 60 per cent more anti-nock qualit- fes than that from other processes. It is sold for mixing with some pet- roleum gasolines, ANCIENT ESKIMOS HIGHLY CULTURED Washington, D, C., Dec. 20. -- Frozen refuse heaps and ruined huts that once were villages on the shores of St. Lawrence Island and vicinity along the northern Bering Sea coast yielded new evi- dence last summer of the surpris- ingly high degree of culture posses sed by the Eskimos who lived in that desolate region 300 to 300 years ago. Thus, after digging deeper than ever before into the remote past of Eskimo life in Alaska, the Smithsonian scientists who are con~ (ducting the first systematic Amerf- can investigation of the ethmology and archaeology of that race find themselves in the somewhat para- doxieal situation of being seeming- ly farther than ever from one of their objectives definite knowledge of its origin and spread in North America, * Henry B. Collins Jr., assistant curator of the division of ethnology of the National Museum, who has conducted the investigation of old Eskimo village sites for the last two years, returned from the sun- mer's work with more than 30 crates of skeletons objects of art, ornaments, utensils and weapons. Mr. Collins believes that they are ther most ancient objects yet un- earthed relating to Eskimo culture in Alaska and that they link the [4 QUALITY COAL MALLETT BROS, Li : : early St. Lawrence Islanders very definitely with the Siberian Eskim os whose descendants still live in that frigid part of Asia ' At the same time, he says, thé provide an important link between the still unknown more ancient Ese kimo culture and that of the mod ern representatives of the race in Alaska, 1 === coming to an age when the boys are beginning to look at you, and I. am not so sure you are not beginning to look at the boys. I would like you to keep one thing perfectly clear. I sing for a living, Your in- come depends on mine, and as long as I have to sing Romeo, for Hea- ven's sake don't get married 'and make me a grandfather.' The singer also said "As I fee the years go by I wish I were 20 years younger, I want to say moth» ers and fathers that I am confident in every human there is a spark of the artist. Sometimes it comres out in 'late life, Music started early would open up a new sense, a new inner life, Imagination would work and you would visualize the moun. tains clouds and flowers, the things that make art beautiful, for art is beauty, and beauty is art.

Y., December 20-- Raw materials for synthetic pipe stems, umbrella handles or cue balls, and for synthetic anti-knoek gasoline are to be manufactured at a Pennsylvania steel mill. Synthetic furniture is predicted as a future development. The announcement revealing this large-scale entry of a steel busi- ness into the by-products field come from Coatsville Pa., where the Lukens Steel Company has or- dered a large, low-temperature coal distillation plant the first to be in- stalled by an American steel mill. The kind of coal distillation new in the United States. One of Its outstanding differences from other coal processes is that it produces about two and a half tinres the amount of tars from which syn- thetic resins are made. Chemistry has created a new ser- jes of articles of daily use from these resins. They include brilliant- ly colored pencils and pens tiling for bathrooms brightly tops and stoppers for all sorts of tubes and bottles a large variety of radio parts and scores of electrical insulations for automobiles.
