Montgomery Bureau, The Age-Heraid
 22l-2 First National Bank Building Montgomery, March 22.-(Special.)- Senator John A. Rogers, chairman of the thus:astic advocate of good roads throughout the state has addressed let ters to all members of the legislature requesting them to give their assurance that they will come to Montgomery for a special session, pass upon the matters included in the executive proclamation and leave the city after final adjourn ment.
 The letters were sent out last week, though it is not known how many re- plies have been received. Capitol offl- cial, including Governor Kiley, have re- ceived a large number of voluntary let ters which make the pledge that the writers will cast aside any personal vsews on other subjects of legislation Tn order that the state may have another oppor- tunity of obtaining funds with which 10 match the federal highway appropriation which now amounts to $2,lO0,0OO, ana which will be increased by s2,100,Oo0 next year
 
 Although Governor kilby has told no one what position he will take regarding an extra session, it is known that ne regards the construction of public roaos as an important administrative measure and hopes that definite steps toward the construction of a permanent system or roads may be taken before the explra- tioI. of his term. He will make no de- cision on the matter of an extra session
 hal majority of the voters favor the bend issue ana will vote for it when 1t is submitted three months after the final adjournment Of the extra session.
 Among members of the legislature who have pledged themselves not to bring up other subjects Of legislation are persons who have opposed the administration policies in the past These letters nave said the legislators believe the improve ment of public roads is of such import ance all other matters should be cast aside for the present.
 MARKET IS BAD
 A definite decision regarding the extra session will be necessary during the next 3o days There is no assurance that the federal funds can be held beyond Janu- ary 1. The bond amendment cannot pe voted on until three months after final adjournment and even after the voters have ratified the amendment it will take several weeks to have the bonds engraved and placed on the market
 Even if an extra session should be heio the latter part of April or the early par | of May it would hardly be possible t' make the campaign. hold the election en grave the bonds ana place them on the market until January l. However, I the state should demonstrate it's inter est in the road work by voting the bond and market conditions should proven their immediate sale, it is more thai probable the federal bureau of pupii roads would hold the funds until tn state could obtain funds from the bon' issue

for the frivolities Of life. But his

In king. Queen and. Joker" which
is thrilling comedy somewhat i'm
probable but certainly a comedy.
Charlie Chaplin's brother Is Just
as unusual as he is. sgd took his
company to England, France and
Switzerland for nine weeks just
to film some of the scenes in
king. Queen and Joker" A
number of Innovations in pic-
ture producing were used by Mr.
Chaplin in making this production.
One Of them is the use OF an air
plane to carry his company to dis
tant locations, practically inaccess-
ible by any other means of transpor-
tation.
King. Queen and Joker" is the
merry tale Of a King and a barber.
Because the barber resembled the
king and vice versa things in a lit
tie kingdom turn rather revolution
ary. And pretty soon the barber is
king, acting as a barber would were
he made king.
sgd Chaplin has the role OF both

job out Of each, being particularly
funny as the "hair-cutter."
