Council Luncheon
 At The Stratfield

A luncheon for Council members of the Bridgeport division, Girl Scouts, will be held tomorrow at one o'clock in the Stra>tfield. Miss Alice Sandi- ford, Eastern field directir for Girl Scout work, will address the women and plans will be discussed for the formation of an afternoon training class for Scout captains and heuten- ants. Mrs. H. Willard Flecz, the local commissioner, will preside.
 About 55 girls and women are reg istered in the evening training class which meets Thursday nights in the Food hut in the rear of the Girls club on Main street. The instruction is given by Miss Sandiford. At present the pupils are being trained in map making which is the last step in ten- 6erfoot work. It is probable that next week they will be given the ten derfoot test Those who pass the test will take up a more difficult line of work
 The officers of the local Council are Mrs. Flock, commissioner; Mrs. DeVef H. Warner, deputy commissioner; Mrs. Howard Simpson, secretary; and Miss PhYliss Tomlinson, treasurer. At the completion of the Scout officers training course, Miss Margaret Grif- fifth will become captain of captains.

OPERATORS URGE CUT.
 LOWERED LIVING BASIS

dollar and thirty cents a. ton. which the consumer would have to pay.
 ''In addition. there would be fur ther increases in the labor cost if other demands were granted.
 ''The demands of the anthracite mine workers are accompanied by a resolution to suspend production of coal unless an agreement on wages is reached by April l."
 The 1000 men employed dn the anthracite fields produced in 1921 78,917,00O gross tons, slightly more than was produced in 1920. The labor cost of producing this amount of coal was $252.179,000.
 Were the demands of the miners met the anthracite operators contend that the cost to the consumer would be increased S1.30 per ton. This $ based on the plan of passing on the increased cost of labor to the public. Roughly it means an increase o3 $50,000,00O dn the labor bill, and the operators claim this would have to be carried on the larger sizes of coal those mainly put to domestic use.
 The anthracite miner claims that there has not been any decrease in the cost of living that warrants a cut in wages. State statistics show the general average of mine workers' pay is about s1.520 yearly. On the other hand, the operator contends there has been decided drop in living costs and that there should be a drop in the wartime rate of wages.
 Lower Living Costs.
 The operator base their claims to lower living costs on the report of the National Industrial Conference Board. This report shows that the peak of the cost of living war reach ed in July. 1920, and that since the total cost of living has been reduced 20.3 per cent.
 There is the feeling among the anthracite miners that stores will ex- tend them credit if a strike comes.
 There has been no market for an- tracite in many weeks; there are various reasons for this - business depression, mild weather and shortage of money. There has been some slack time in the industry. The men have felt the pinch. but owing to the lack of demand there has been opportunity for storage. The com panies are not admitting it, but there is a vast amount of anthracite in storage. but mostly steam sizes.

TRIBE
 HAS AGE LIMIT

Boston Mass, Mar. High in the fastn eSSeS of the Andes mountains of Peru, there lives a race which sets an age limit and kills off all of its peo- pie who reach the fateful mark.
 This is the statement of Dr. Joseph Bancroft, British scientist and author, who headed an Npedition to Peru to study the effect of high attitudes on the oxygen content of the blood. The party spent practically all its time at Cerro de Pasco, a mining town of 10, GOO inhabitants 14, 2200 feet above the sea level.
 'In each village said pr. Barcr oft who is delivering 0 series of lectures at Lowell Institute, ''an official is ap pointed to terminate the careers of persons who live too long.
 Different communities however, seem to have different ideas as to what limit should be placed on hu- man man existence: In some places the to be to secure the presence of a ma n at his own funeral in the title role' If @ person becomes so ill that hds near future, a date is fixed for the same and if the leading figure shows a d1sp ositton to be unpunctual, the village eNecutioner takes the matter in hand.
 tfNot far from g. mine that yields @ great part of the worlds vanadium, there is, so we are told, a SettIeme ent of 'Cholos' (the name by which the ilduVeS are oeuSnaCeO) WhO treat this matter on purely economic and un- sentimental grounds. When one of the inhabitants becomes too old he is eaten by the community and cheerful ly acquiesces in the procedure"

wilkes-Barre, Pa, Mar. With the possibility of a strike, affecting both the hard and soft coal fields. by April l, William J. Brennan, president of District No. l, United Mine Workers of America. made the following state ment today relative to the situation in the anthracite zone:
 Among the men there is "a feeling that if strike does not come 8 sus- pension will take place. The 150, 900 men in the three anthracite districts the situation, but they do not openly talk strike and do not advocate it ex- capt IaS a last resort April will come to us with remembrance of the oughly unionized, the finances are in good shape, but with the bituminous situation it is our condition is very much different than it was in 1902. We have no knowledge of large amounts of coal fbeing in storage and dcl not believe there are.'
 A. s. L,earoyd, spokesman for the general committee of operators, has made the following statement:
 The position of tn eanth~acite op- orators is that the price of coal at the mines is too high. Lower mine prices can be effected only by a re- duction in the producing cost. The only item Of the cost of production which has not been nS duced is labor, cent. of the total. In other words, the average total mine cost of a gross ton of anthracite Is $5.55. Of this $3.92 Is for labor. These fig ures are for the first half of 1921.
 Would Mean Increase.
 eff the demands of the anthracite mine workers for an increase of 20 per cent. in the contract wage rate and one dollar a day increase for all men employed by the day were to be granted it would mean an increase of 7S.4 cents a ton in the labor cost of the total production of anthracite.
 However, 30 per cent. of the total production consists of the so-called steam sizes. which have to be sold far below cost in competition with bituminous coal, and 10 per cent. is pea coal. which moves very slowly and at low prices. It follows, there fore, that the remaining 60 per cent. of production, comprising the domes- tic sizes, would have to absorb the entire increase in wages. This, on the domestic sizes, figures out about one

IN THE THEATRES
EMPIRE.

''The Great Adventure starring Lionel Barrymore. the noted actor, will be the weeks attraction at the Empire theatre. This Associated First National picture is the screen adaptation of Arnold Bepnetts fa- nous play Of the same name, having been successfully produced on the stage both in England and America.
 In it Barrymore will be seen in a new role, for The Great Adven- ture' is a comedy. He has the part of an eccentric artist, who. in order to elude a celebrity hunter with mat rimony as her object. conceals his identity by posing as his dead valet, going to This own" funeral in West minister Abbey, and sacricing his worldly possessions.
 The fact that a pretty little widow mistakes him for the late valet, Leek, with whom she had been correspond ing through matrimonial agency, adds considerably to the complica- tions which pile themselves on the shoulders of the woman-dodg1ng pub licity-shunning artist.

 Suffer Jess From Lung Ailments
 During the Winter months the youngsters are exposed in their scant attire for at least four hours per day, playing fn the snow, skating, tobog- gaming and sliding, just as other kid dies do in regular clothes And they suffer less from the cold than those protected by heavy clothing, accord ing to their own sstateme its and those of their teachers.
 Connecticut is the only State in the Union that has established children's s sanitoria to cure tuberculosis There are beds at Seaside for fifty-five suf- fering from bone and glandular cases and room for 200 at the Meriden sanItariunl for kiddies affected with the lung form of the disease.
 The commission proudly ayers that in spite of the outdoor life at Seaside and Meriden there has not been a, single case of pneumonia or a severe case of croup, bronchitis or diphtheria. And while the normal youngstsr gains an average from four to six pounds a year. the ch1l- dren a. Seaside gain an average Of 11A pounds annually.

POLES.

When Tn emas Meighan was near Ossining, N. Y. taking scenes for his Silent Men," which is at Polis for the last times today, he found time hang ing heavily on his hands between scenes, so he decided to take walk in the country. He was strolling around nonchalantly when suddenly he was seized by several farmers who told him that they had him now and he shouldn't try to make a getaway. For a second Meighan couldn't com prehend the situation and then he re- membered that he was wearing his prison garb and the farmers evidently thought he had escaped from Sing Sing. He couldn't persuade the far mers that it was perfectly all right for him to wander around alone until Director Tom Forman and the re- mainder of the company, who were summoned by telephone, came to his rescue.
