1 Chaplin in one film! Imagine the lines of patrons wrapping around and around the playhouses where the picture was on view. And yet there is such q film, and this is the way this ultimate in picture comedy was attained
 Fairbanks Douglas was enacting q scene of "The Matrimaniac" across the street from Charlie Chaplin's s studio down in California Charlie was cutting capers in front of the camera when he spied Fairbanks. Telling his director to wait min ute. Chaplin rushed into the street in his erotesque makeup and sat down CD the curb to watch his confrere.
 Now make me laugh, Doug" he said. "In be your audience"
 Fairbanks entered into the spir- it of the occasion and soon he and Chaplin were romping together, un- consciously reeling off a slkit that it would take nearly all the money in the motion picture business to buy Although the Triangle-Finc Arts cameraman continued cranking his machine, the hard-hearted di- rector ordered the scene deleted as entirely irrevelant to the story in hand.
 Both Fairbanks and Chaplin. how ever, insisted on having prints de- veIoped to add to their private col- lections.

Bleacher Seats to Be Abolished.

Bleacher Seats to Be Abolished.
 Permanent abolition of the bleach- CT seat-the 25-cent seat-is fore seen in the action of the National League fayoring reduction of the number of seats in the bleacher section of the baseball grandstand to a minimum. The club owners are desirous of doing away entirely with the 25-cent seats, it is ex- plained, but in the cities where they have been a fixture for years the proposed change will have to be made gradually.
 President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club is father of the movement to reduce the cheap seats to a minimum and it is strongly favored by all the club owners. He claimed that if something was not done to increase revenue and cut down expenses the business of operating baseball clubs would become a losing proposition.
 Before adjournment in New York last week the magnates of the Ma tional League took further action for curtailment in operating ex- penses by recommending unanimous ly retrenchment in players sal aries. The salary list of more than one of the National League clubs last season exceeded $1O0.OOO and the probable reduction may be esti- mated by the statement of one club owner who said that he expected to cut his salary list by at least one fifth.
 Changes in the rules governing the worlds series, as proposed by August Hermann and President Tener were recommended by the league
 These include the provisions. that the players of the two teams c6mpet- ing in the series receive q stipu-

Bantam Champ to Try Again.

 Johnny Coulon, the ex-bantam champ, who lost his title to Kid Williams several seasons ago, is planning to return to active fighting and under the direction of Nate Lewis, Charley Whites manager, he will try to regain the form he had before he lost his belt.
 Johnny for some time has noticed the ease with which Ad Wolgast has been raking in the nickels. For an old chap long since thought 10 be on the shelf, Wolgast has been making a handsome income. Coulon believes that if Wolgast can do so well, there's no reason why he can't do it himself.
 Another item that encourages Johnny is the present prosperity of bantamweights and their popular ity The bantam class has been getting more attention and having a greater demand than for quite while. The situation just now is very pleasing to bantam fighters and Coulon means to step in and get his share.
 Coulon has been in frst-class shape for over year now and since training he has had part in five or six bouts on the Coast. Lew is plans to work Coulon for a while in six and ten-round fights and later match him in a twenty-round fight with Pete Herman or Johnny Ertle

COMPLAINTS MADE OF
RURAL MAIL SERVICE
Congressman of Michigan Are
Receiving Complaints of Ser
vice Being Inadequate.

While the fact is true that the rural
mail service has been extended all over
the state never the less the service to
each individual farmer has been con-
siderable lowered
Complaints have been registered
with every Michigan congressman,
from all points in the state. Post
master general Burleson is held re-
sponsible for this lack of efficiency.
The fact that the Postmaster General
is a Texan seen to lead him to in
crease the efficiency Of the rural SER
vice in the southern states and rather
neglect that of the north. And, indi-
cations point that it will grow worse.
1t is rumored that considerable i'll
feeling exist beween Senator Burbank
of Alabama and the Postmaster Gen
eral. Senator Burbank is the chairman
of the senate committee on post Of
fices and post roads, and the fact that
Mr.. Burleson seems to favor Texan
postal interests in spite of the fact
that the rural service department is
run on sectional basis does not agree
with the Alabama senator.

Complete directions will be furnished
and the precautions that should be OBJ
served.
The Normal will send out at small
cost three mounted specimens of the
