FAIRBANKS AMBITION WAS
TO ACT IN PLAY "ARIZONA.'
When Opportunity Came Athletic
Star Seized It-See Him at Ar

The fact that ARIZONA" was pic
turized four years ago by its author,
Augustus Thomas, did not discourage
Douglas Fairbanks from doing it
himself and reviving the attractive
character of Lieutenant Denton" 1t
will be shown at the Arcade tomor
row.
Like the typical Shakespearian ac-
tor that he is, Douglas has been
spouting the lines of ARIZONA" to
such an extent that his office staff
have found it necessary to memorize
cues, and sacrifice their routine la
Dor to "act out" with Fairbanks.
Ever since he first saw the play
Arizona" it has been his DREAM
his one great anbition-to produce
it, and when the opportunity arrived
to do it, it was happy day for Doug
las Fairbanks.
An all star cast was organized
which includes Theodore Roberts

Kathleen Kirkham, Frank Campeau
Marguerite de la Motto Kate Price
Robert Boulder, Raymond Hatton an,

try on Its Own Power Is
Puzzle at First.

Washington. = Customs authorities
have encountered the first case of an
airplane imported into the United
States under it's own motive power.
An American bought Canadian
plane, and 1t was flown across the
border near Detroit. The question then
arose as to whether 1t is dutfable, par
ticularly since airplanes are not mem
toned in any tariff acts.
Customs officials finally decided that
If 1t remains permanently in the United
States it should be taxed "as a manu-
featured article" ut the rate of 20 per
cent, and if 1t flies out Of the country
again within six months 1t will be re-
garded as ION tour" and will not be
taxed. In view of the prospects that
international air touring may soon be
common, the ruling was regarded as
important.

LETTER WRITERS

state in the Union, and to every city,
town, hamlet and rural route.
Mr.. Richard N. Bird, who was de-
tailed by the post Office department
to take general charge of the offices at
Bordeaux and Brest, has recently re-
turned from France and his report of
the work over there is full of interest.
Mail leaving this country addressed
to the expeditionary forces in France
passes out Of the jurisdiction of the
post Office department into that of the
army when it leaves the port of de-
barkation at New York. The army
collects the soldiers mail through ap-
proximately $50 army post offices scat
tered throughout France, making the
letters up in packages by states, and
delivers 1t to the officials of the post
office department at Bordeaux and
Brest. Before being dispatched to the
United States all mail Is sorted at Bor-
deaux or Brest and made up for direct
dispatch to cities and railway mail
routes in this country.
Every bit of mail is cleaned up to
the very minute of sailing, and choice
between sending 1t by slower boat or
by faster boat that may sail day
later Is determined by the time sched-
uled for the boats to arrive in New
York. The boat to arrive first is given
the mail in preference to sending 1t a
day ahead by a slower boat. Approx
mately 25 dispatches. or one every day
except Sunday, are made from either
Bordeaux or Brest each month, and
the time to New York Is about ten
days. with an infreQuent delay of
day or two due to storms or accident.
Sent Direct to Trains.
The pouches or sacks when received
in New York are sent direct to the
railway postal cars and dispatched on
fast mail trains to the routes or cities
for which they are labeled. About So
per cent of mail is handled in this way.
The soldiers being located with sub
stantial permanency since the signing
Of the armistice, there is no delay In
the distribution of mail on the other
side by the army except where it is
improperly addressed or the unit to
which 1t is addressed Is one selected
to return to the United States. In the
latter case the mail Is held on this
side. Whenever any mail from the
army post Offices Is delayed reaching
Brest or Bordeaux, the date Of its re-
ceipt at those terminals Is noted by
'back-stamp" on the delayed letters.
The site Of the Bordeaux terminal
post Office Is on the river close to the
depots. The building is 25O feet long
and % feet wide and is well ventilated
and lighted. 1t was built by the United
States army engineers from plans sub
mitted by Mr.. Bird. It has every con-
venience for employees, and every ap-
pliance for the proper handling Of
mail. Provision is made for 10000
separations of, letter mail and 400
separations of paper mail.
