’\ f n: GEORGE Bum. Maw roux. Nov. 4.2—"Every. th or two I go down to the ghetto blouse and look at the old home my father's old barber shop at ,elfth and Jefferson streets. And says to me: ‘ ”there's where you cam? from. ,Katz. Now be yourself and cut t all the apple sauce.’ " This confession from the 33-year- :ld dynamo. who is about to become dent of a combination ‘of Fe.- us Players and Balaban. & Kat: mulling picture theaters. a chain of ut 800 houses reaching across the ntlnent. may explain 'the casual inner in which he accepts success. ‘11s is only 33. but he has-been in . 9' business continuously for 20 '1 rs. In length and breadfii and i 'ety of experience he is one of the ior‘ veterans of the lusty "young duetry. " Energetic Kid. fiam Katz was just another ener- ‘tlo kid stumbling into everybody'l _ by in the crowded pushoart market lace around Ills home. He sold pa- pers. carried telegrams and finally in to repairing switchboards from ldnight until breakfast while he at to school in the daytime. . .A. little earlier he had received a limpso of the comfortable way some people lived when he wait out to a moo Park home to debate with a Small boy's team from a rival school. "The placeQust hit me rightrin the ”no." says Katz. "and 1 said, ‘Gee. , duet get out of where I live and into something like this. And I've to? to go to school to do it.’ " ‘ Well. young Sam Katz had picked lisp a knack of place playing. ,Thls divas in 1905. when he was 13 years old. Carl Lacmmliediad started a Secsnt moving picture show on the West Side of Chicago. the only movie 0w in town. Katz got a job play- : the piano. “I‘liked it because I could work nd still go to school in" the day- time."'remembers the ydith. , “Iaemmle had as a manager for his theatre a former medicine show bellyhoo man who still wore long red ‘whiskcrs. forked and pulled out on each side of his collar.

From then on it is a yarn of light- ning expansion. The need for education which he realized as a 10-year-old boy. the need to make himself a personality and a mentality equal to the busi- ness position he might attain—this haunted him during the years of struggle. He. went to school con- tinuously until 1917. He finished high school and Northwestern Uni- versity 'and spent nearly three years going to night law school. Then he opened his first big theatre and got married and decided he was too busy to keep at school forever. “This is no story of platitudes about hard work and ambition." Katz begs his interviewer. Must Get. “Breaks." “Those things are true. but in ad- dition, the breaks must break with you. I can recall. time after time. when a slightly different turn of events which I couldn't control would have wrecked me. "I did see possibilities in the mov- ing picture business from the begin- ning. But almost always the breaks favored me. . “About this bdsiucss of curly ris- ing and intensive toil, i think they are often not so much a cause of success as a result of it. One is shoved into a Job bigger than he is used to. Then he has pride in doing it. so he drives himself long and hard. The effort makes him more capable and ‘bigger things come his way. "If a. wide-awake 13-year-old boy were starting out today. he wouldn't pick the moving picture business. At least I wouldn’t. But opportunity Still is lying around waiting for him; Look at radio. for instance. Any new line, which is not oesifled is good. With the United States not developed to a third its possibilities or population. there is a chance for everybody. Anybody ,who goes into business to he a bull in the United States should find the market run- ning his way." ‘ ¥ , - COLLEGE SPORTS cur ~ FOR uzz AGE e NeWtPresident of Mich- igan U.

Punn No“ 4 (AP).—Pitlsburgh has 12 “experi- mental sleepers." who nightly, while resting in the arms of Morpheus. are aiding scientists in tests which are expected to make this world a better place in which to sleep. A technical study of the psychol- ogy of sleep is being made by scien- tists of the Mellon Institute of In- dustrial Research. and a dozen boys. students at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Institute of Technology. are the "subjects." Dr. N. M. Johnson, noted for his scien- tific work and formerly of the faculty of Ohio State University. is in charge of the work. and he is being assisted by George E. Weigand. psychologist. and T. H. Swain. chemist. The 12 boys sleep in specially constructed beds. mounted on gim- bals‘which permit of easy lateral motion in the two horizontal planes. in opposition to the tension of light springs. and to each bed is attached a recording apparatus, which indi- cates every change of posture. both as to time and extent. ' The experimental beds will chronl~ cle the degree and time of move- ments of the sleeper. which will in- dicate periods when there is not complete relaxation. Experiments will be made after a sufficient num- ber of “readings" are obtained to give a. working basis. using various types of beds and bedding in an ef- fort to find the most; desirable and sleep reducing condition. Using the standard obtained as to the rate or depth of sleep. it will be a matter of record taking. the scion. tiets say. to determine the relation- ship between sleep under one con- ditlon3 or another. under certain types of bedding and in certain types of beds. under degrees of fatigue and other problems. The scientists will be aided in their work by the “chronoscope.” an instrument invented by Dr. Johnson. which records such conditions as mental alertness and the determina- tion of fatigue or efficiency.

Graham-Clarke. Dancing Instructrcss to British Royalty Wales Was Easily Bored; Duke of York, Jolly,. and Prince George, Retiring By MILTON BRONNER. LONDON. Nov. 4.» “The Prince of Wales was the easily bored one! o "The Duke of York was the jolly lively one! “Prince George was the shy. retiring one!" You get all sorts of alleged close- ups of royalty. but it isn't often that you get them right straight from the woman who taught the young sprigs of royalty how to shake a wicked foot on the dancing floor. She is Mrs. E. Graham-Clark. who has taught most chine aristocracy of England and who could also verily claim to be the dancing teacher of the whole officer staff. of the British navy. In addition to the three princes. she has also numbered other royal- ties among her pupils. notably Prince Arthur and Princess Margaret of Connaught. Princess Patricia. and Princess Bun. of Buttenberga It was at Osborne. when the sons of the king were undergoing their training for the royal navy. that dicy fell un— der her care. “in those days." she said terms. "we didn't teach the fox trot. the tango and the Charleston. 1’ only taught the Prince of Wales the tree. step. ihe polka and the old-fashioned waltz. He was an apt pupil and a very considerate one. but I had to be very careful to vary his work. “The. commanding officers at the academy warned me that the prices was easily bored. lie was charming in his manners. but a bit reserved. Even then he seemed to realize the. responsibilities that come with being e l l l the heir to a throne. "He was often rather quaint in his} expressions. lie was always trentcdi just exactly like his fellow naval cadets. except that he always had a specially good member of my staff to dance with. He had his preferences among his dancing partners and used shyly to express them to me. lie should be very good these days in the one stop. because even then he was rather inclined to take quick short steps. "l always addressed him as Prince Edward. In the bounce where he was a guest on intimate terms he was addressed as Prince David. He wrote me recently that nowadays they kept him so busy that he had no time to lake dancing lessons. "The future Duke of York was a very gay, jolly boy. He entered fully into the fun of dancing. The other boys treated him as one of them- selves. I remember one day seeing a rather rough game in which the boys were lambasting each other with the heavy unval capes that they wear. One boy was specially getting it. it was the Duke of York, or Prince Albert. as he was always known then. He took great pleasure in all sorts of fancy dances. “Prince.

Antlflglctilt‘: gjsslllutes In the present emergency we offer the following suggestions for the successful burning of anthracite substitutes. Inasmuch as it has been oilicially arnounced that the supply of anthracite coal is virtually exhausted, with or more available until mining is re- sumed, householders, not already supplied, are urged to prepare to burn substitutes, rather than run the risk of being entirely without fuel wher cold weather actually sets in. ' WE SUGGEST- - - LUMP SOFT COAL Make a very cmeful deep bed of paper and wood to the height of the fire door. Light as usual and do not add coal uulil wood becomes like charcoal embers. Add fuel gradually. opening base-door, feed-door draft and smoke- pipe dampers. Let cool slide off shovel just inside door so it forms a bank against the front of the healing section. Break up the crust which forms after the coal is ignit- ed and spread out’cvenly. Always bank fresh fuel on front of fire so live fire in rear will burn gases. When fire is about 10” deep and thoroughly ignited close base- rloov but leave fire-door slide and bascdoor flap and all smoke-pipe dampers open to guard against possible explosions. ’l‘hcso explosions are caused by the sudden ignition of gases when the fire is smothered. For this reason live flame ought to be burning through top of fire or a red spot left in one spot at all times. See that all fresh fuel ignites promptly, break up the larger lumps or crust on top of fire. Keep feed-door closed to prevent escape of gases, but keep slide in that door open to complete combustion of gases. When fire is burning briskly and gases ignited, 'open feed-door slightly to increase combustion. The nature of this fuel requires more frequent firing but it has high heat value. \ COKE This fuel burns quickly and with an intense heat. Riel should fill the fire- bed' to the bottom of: feed-door opening, and can be banked higher in the rear of the firepot. It will require longer to ignite first fuel, and subsequent feedings should be ignited before ashes are shaken or drafts checked. Lower draft opening should be closed except for first lighting, and smoke pipe damper should be regulated accord- ing to strength of chimney, so that fire will not burn out too quickly. Draft in feed- door must be manipulated to assist in chccking fire. needs little extra care or attention except that fresh fuel should be thoroughly ignit- ed before ashes are shaken out. Also grates should be shaken gently to avoid break- ing down the fire bed. COKE AND BUCKWHEAT MIXED Kindle with coke and add subsequent layers of buckwheat and coke. ’Wlien surface is covered with buckwheat, leave small red spot for proper ignition of gases.
