Our advice to interyiewers is, if you
go 70 interview Sydney Chaplin make
two appointments with him, for you'll
need two interviews-the first to tell
you all about Charlie and the second
to tell you about himself. We made
two appointments, or rather they were
arranged for us. but our host himself
kept only one of them. However, we
have forgiven him after perfectly
J plausible explanation, though at the
time we thought "How ChaplinesqucW
Charlie, you know, is the chief inter
view dodger.
So, as we had only one interview
left, we had to crowd it all in, and it
,certainly was a crowded hour.
Sydney was all for telling us about
Charlie-the little chap, he calls him
fondly-and while it is a subject dear
to our heart also we had to interrupt
lhim ever and anon to ask about the
,s50ooOo worth of aeroplanes he had
just bought or the milion-dollar com
.edies he was going to make for Para
mount.
The coincidental announcement of
these two facts rather confused things
in peoples minds, and we, with the
rest, supposed that the aeroplanes
were to be used in the comedies. But
no indeed Would sgd Chaplin be con-
tent to participate in but one enter
prise at a time? He would not.
The Curtiss planes which he has
purchased are, he informed us, to be
used to establish air routes between
Catalina Islands, San Diego and Santa
Barbara.
Owe shall use hydroplanes over the
water routes, and we can make the
trip to Catalina in twenty minutes,
where it takes two hours on the boat
And for those who fear the height we
shall keep not more than ten feet
above the water Think of flying along
! just above the ocean at the rate Of
3eighty miles an hour"
"Thrilling," we breathed Cant
.you make us a conductorette ?"
"If you'll come out III try it." agreed
Mr.. Chaplin. Il am going to be the
smotorman.'
Can you air-motor, too ?" we asked
iincredulously. 1t did seem as though
there must be something these Chap
;lins couldn't do
ooh, yes; | was one of the first to
fly. It's simple matter" 6
And now tell US about Your come
sdies. What are they to be like ?"
"Well,' said Mr. Chaplin, leaning
imysteriously over his iced coffee, you
mustn't tell any one, but they are to be
super comedies"
"And what are super-comedies 2" we
;whispered, properly impressed.
~ don't know" whispered back this
sChaplin who is so much like Charlie.

your experience in some other state,

Circular 107 is designed more espe-
cially for the home orchard. In
choosing kinds and varieties of fruit
for home orchard a person should
be guided by the amount of space
available. the local adaptability to
the kind of fruit, likes and dislikes
of the family as to the fruits desired,
purposes for which the fruit is in

most unusual engineering feats in
history.
The work of building the giant
structure has been under way for two
years, and leading engineering ex-

were present to see the $500 ton
bridge swing into position by the
pressing of lam electric button.
In minute and three-quarters the
great structure, the longest and most
unusual bridge of its type in the
morld, can be raised or lowered.
When pointing upright it towers
above the atllest skyscrapers of the
city. 1t measures 26O feet from its
land line, or base, to its end.
The bridge is for the st. ChIIrles

tion. There a new foundation must
be constructed, the bridge placed ON

A combination of conditions made
necessary the construction of bridge
more remarkable than any other of
its type in the world, according TO
engineering experts
The salient factor which engineer

necessity of building the bridge for
possible later removal from its pres

bridge be so constructed that it cou'd

The proposed new river channel
would cross Ehe st. Charles Air Line
about 400 feet to the west of the
