ADMIRAL LINE
 HEAD TELLS OF
 SUNNY FLORIDA

NEW YORK, Dec. 30 (P)-E. c. Mo- Micken, passenger traffic manager of the Admiral Line who returned today from Miami, Florida, on the steamship H. F. Alexander, which recently en- tered the Atlantic coastwise service, said to the reporter for Ocean Topics that the coal strike is not worrying residents of Florida.
 T would not advise anyone to en- ter the coal business in Miami even when the coal strike is settled" MT. McMicken said. Business would also be poor in overcoats, ear muffs and wool socks. I understand trade of this kind is thriving in New York this winter, but in Florida they seem to be interested chiefly in swimming, golf, tennis and cashing checks on real estate profits"
 MT. McMicken remarked that he had been very busy this fall operat- ing the steamship H. F. Alexander be- tween New York and Miami. The big liner has proved to be popular with tourists due to her great speed and high standard of service. He was es- pecially pleased with the record of 46 hours down and AZ hours back set by the fast liner. On the several round voyages which he has made he has travelled with many celebrities includ- ing Mayor-elect James Walker of New York, movie and theatrical stars and financial leaders interested in the de- velopment of Florida. MT. McMicken makes his headquarters in New York

at the Admiral Line offices, GOA Fifth Avenue.
 When asked if he had any special message in connection with the Xmas season, MT. McMicken replied:
 You might say for the fieneft of any friends and acquaintances who may read this that I wish them con- tinued Health, Happiness and Pros perity for the New Year"
 Another passenger on the H. F. Alexander was Mrs. McMicken, who is spending the winter in the East. In New York she and her husband stay at the Waldorf-Astoria.
 While I miss my friends on the West Coast greatly said Mrs. Mo- Micken, T would like to take this op- portunity of letting them know that I am enjoying the season in New York and Miami, and that I wish them the best of Holidays

The great cost of such a play, and it's worth both as entertainment and education ally, more than justify the small addition in admission, and all we can say is, if you missed it last night, don't tonight.
