SLOWER TRADING ON THE EXCHANGE
Opening Finds U. s. Steel Hold
 ing Closing Prices

New York. Dec. IS Pl-Advances were irregularly distributed in the stock market as trading was resum- ed today at a slower pace. [. s. Steel held at last nights closing price of 159i2 but several of the in dependent steels and railway equip- ments. such as Sloss-S Sheffield, Cru cible and American Locomotive opened a point or so higher. Profit taking caused slight reactions in Du Pont. Southern Railway and oth- CT prominent stocks.
 As the speculative excitement created by the first news of the 40 per cent United States Steel stock dividend wore off. the way was o.,en cd to realizing sales among the in- dust rial leaders. United States Steel after a steady opening eased off to below 159 while American Smelting and Allied Chemical yielded about a point on profit taking. On the other hand yesterdays stupendous buying movement encouraged pools to resume operations in the stocks of companies which are in a posi- ton to deal generously with stock holders. American Can was raised , points above 55 and National Bis cult sold at the years top price near l02. Eastern Rail shares were strong with Reading reaching a new peak above par and Erie common jumping 10 fl. Warner Pictures "A" squirting 3 F points, led by ad- vance in the specialties. Foreign eS- changes opened steady, with French francs holding around 1 cents and Italian lire rising points.

Tetrazzini, the kindnes of the great

Tetrazzini. the kindnes of the great prima donna who occupied box at Covent Garden when she, a rising artiste, sang in "Othello." Her heart sank at the thought of sing ing before the most brilliant star that then had ever shone in the operatic Armament. But, once on the stage, she entirely forgot her. self and attained new height. Mme. Patti greeted the young let razzini with warm enthusiasm. tell ing her she was happy to see there was "a singer who would take her place."
 Finding no difficulty in the elab- orate trills and warbles demanded of operatic singers, Mime. Tetrazzini took delight In assuming attitudes which generally were considered most unfavorable for such musical athletics. Even when 1t was not nec- essary, she would stoop to catch up the train of her gown while per forming an elaborate bravura pas sage.

mines in the Lens district, of which 110 are again working full blast. They turned out 2.S02,505 tons of coal last month. This is just about the average prewar production for those mines. When other mines are restored the Lens region will go far beyond its record before the in vasion.
 The havoc worked at the bottom of the Lens mines was such that in many cases owners abandoned the old galleries. It was cheaper to be- gin all over again. Otherwise Lens would now lead the other districts that have gained a lap in produc- ton.
 Rent s Francs a Month
 All the miners, for an eight-hour day. are paid more than six times the prewar wages. A bachelor earns 36 francs per day. A married man with one child earns somewhat more. The family allowance brings the earnings of the other two chill dren to 47 francs per day. He pays eight francs a month rental for a four-room house. which leaves about 46.5o francs per day to live on. This sum appears to be sufficient, though the miners needs have grown.
 Wine, which was seen on the miners tables before the war only on Sundays or holidays Is now the daily beverage.
