NEW YORK, March 6.-Miss Jane
ThurstOn, who knows how to make
ten girls and a youth materialize
from nowhere and invisibly get into
her lacquered cabinet, sat in the
corner, seeming very small and shy.
She plans, however, she said, to saw
the girls in two later.
1t is her profession, she explained
mildly. Daughter Of the Great
Thurston. she is a magician, too,
and at q she made her debut at
the annual show of the Society of
American Magicians here.
After her days at the exclusive
Rayson school, she trained three
years with her father, trouping the
country. But her appearance there
was her first solo appearance.
Started When Child
I won't mind it as much as if I
hadn't always been doing tricks" she
said. MY father got me started
when I was a little girl. The first
trick was making matches appear
where there hadn't been matches
before"
Now her subjects weigh up to $50
pounds. Her big moment began
when she materialized lot of them
girls and hats and Chinece XII
monos.
But it's awfully hard to describe
magic. That doesn't sound like
anything" Yet it is a trick never
done before; the trappings built
especially for her.
Very modest, very Rayson school
iSh, yet with sufficient hint of the
Thurston aplomb that pleased au-
dienceS for thirty years to hold her
own when her patter must divert
~1opiciOus eyes as her hands deceive
this is Miss Thurston Deeply blue
eyes, cornfloWer hair, a way that is
both quiet and pert.
Musical Comedy Trappings
She hopes she is going to make
changes in professional magic that
may not be as extraordinary as
those her father made in helping
lift it up from mere card tricks to
big Illusions but changes that will
stamp her as competent and orig
inal
L like big productions best, but
I'm going to try to introduce music
and beauty into magic" she said.
When my professional work begins
this year We'll have a musical COM
edy atmosphere as well as mystery
Girls, and dancing and singing. you
know"
She is the first daughter of a
great magician to carry on her
fathers tradition, and is. said she,
her life's ambition.
My father wanted it, too. He
was coming for my first show, but
couldn't get away from Chicago

POLAND To FIND
JOBS FOR IDLE

The Polish government is
studying plans of important pub

signed to provide employment.
These works include the con-
struction Of new railroad lines,
highways, water power develop
ments and various agricultural
betterments.
Funds would be supplied by
the ministry of social assistance,

labor companies" composed of

Steel Production Raised
To IS Per Cent Capacity

NEW YORK, March 20 G.N.S0.
Steel production has risen to is
per cent of capacity, a gain of /
per cent from the previous weeks
ratio, the Iron Age Review reports
today.
The failure of the industry to
show any vigorous recuperative
powers is attributed in large part
to the fact that financial condi-
tions in many sections are still un-
favorable.
Wheeling and Cleveland Up
The Wheeling district is operat-
ing at 80 per cent, a rise of five
points, but this is mainly because
of tin plate specifications, while
at Cleveland a slight gain results
from the desire Of one company
to build up a stock Of ingots. =
In the Pittsburgh district the
mills are barely holding at last
weeks rate of Is per cent, while
operations in the valley and con-
tiguous territory have declined.
Chicago steel output has risen
fractionally. In other districts
there has been no material change.
The best individual plant opera
ton in the country is that of the
Great Lakes Steel Corporation, De-
troit, which is so per cent. The
Cleveland mills are averaging 80

rierS are to operate under vlr-
tual Government dictatorship,
the steel industry believes orders
for maintenance and repairs will
follow, but no large purchases
are believed to be in early pros
pect.
Lettings of fabricated struc-
tural steel for building work, at
1900 tons during the week, are
pointed out as the largest since
the beginning Of this month.
Brewery business has not been
of large proportions thus far,
but the steel trade has received
additional orders for plates for
tanks and has sold some hoop
steel for beer barrels. A pros
pective development is the in
PRODUCTION of tin cans as a sub
stitute for bottles. Large pur-
chases of motor trucks for beer
delivery are expected.
Price Structure Firm
Price developments of most sig
nificance are in raw materials. A
further rise of Is cents a ton in
the average price of heavy melt
ing steel scrap has occurred at
Pittsburgh, and advances of like
amount have developed in steel
making grades at Detroit. This
is the third consecutive advance
of Is cents in three weeks, and
brings the Iron Age composite
price for scrap to $7.08 a ton
against 81 last week.
The Iron Age composite prices

are unchanged at 1923 cents a
