Everything Different

Take yourself, for example.
You are swell material for me.
Our lives are so different. I'm
an American; you're an Arab.
Our clothes are different. our
ideas are different-and every
thing about us is different.
What you say might not in
terest another Arab. but it does
interest me. And by tt same
token, it might interest my
readers. Do you follow me?"
He nodded again.
The gentleman makes 1t
most clear" he returned. But
tell me more about me. How
have you judged my mind?"
I smiled.
About you," I returned af-
fably, II couldn't go wrong.
You are wrapped up in your
people. You have no desire to
travel as I am doing. You are
contented with your lot. You
regard all American tourists as
so many SapS, and you treat
them accordingly. By so do
ing, you make money.
Let me ask you one little
question, and I'll show you
exactly what I mean. Don't
think too long. Answer rapidly.
And from your answer I'll show
you why you and I are of diff
ferent worlds.
Ready? Okay. Fast. now.
What's the one thing you want
most of all right now?"
"I hAve a cousin in America"
he replied, "who is making
much money. I want to join
him there and settle down. He
lives in South Bend, Ind. !"

am, fellers, and what am I
going to do about it? I'm
away out here in Tunis and it's
actually necessary for me to
write those things that I feel
like writing.
RectiH His Mistakes
Tell you what I'll do, though.
I'll make up for all my digres-
Sions In a very short time.
I'm going to do one piece about
the creep james of TuniS,
another that will include a
tintype Of a famous camel, an
other that will have to do
with the Elmer uetermans and
the Granlunds of North Africa,
and a long Monday column
that will tell why MuSsolini is
that way about MuSSolini.
Honestly, boys, I don't mean
to be untrue to all our policies
and bylaws. If they happen
to fire one of us Broadway
boys, there may be 500 of us
out Of jobs. And nobody
knows it better than I do. I
haven't gone completely hay
wire at this writing. Take my
word for it, fellers, I'll not
throw you down. It's only a
question of time until I return
to normalcy.
After all, I hope I'm still in
good standing as a member of
the Broa way columnists'
union. Imagine how I'd feel
If I returned to New York and
learned that I'd been fired
from the Broadway union!
Imagine what it would be like
to get up in the morning and
feel fairly certain that you
wouldn't be double-crossed that
day! Imagine how I'd react if
the men who patted me on
the back actually meant what
they were doing!
1 couldn't stand it, boys.
Please keep me in the union
and promise to play ball as
soon as I feel better. Lord, If
you threw me out, I might go
into some legitimate business
and make fortune.
And you wouldn't have me
that unhappy. would you?
I'm still in bed, but I know
that I'll be okay tomorrow. AS
q matter of fact. and it's sort
of a silly thing to write. I'm
typing this column while I'm
propped up with pillows and
the typewriter hesitates be-
tween one knee and the other.
Mr.. Ray Cozine, my director,
and Signor Romognoi, my cam
era man, are still off somewhere
in the desert. They should be
back late tonight and I'm look
ing forward to seeing them. I
miss them both, even though
Signor Romognoli never says
anything but: Howl" and Mr..
Cozine is forever leaping in and
out of a bathtub.
A True Friend
I've become attached to Ray
Cozine. Very much so. Not
only is he one of Americas
greatest film experts, but he is
human and honest and real.
Still more, he has the patience
to sit and listen as I read him
the columns I have written.
That's the greatest test of
true friendship.
How he stands it, I'll never
know. # I were he, I'd get up
some night while I was reading
some of this junk, and hit me
right soIl the point of the chin.
And I don't think I'd blame
him much.
I don't think I'll read this
column to him when he gets
back. 1t might give him some
unfortunate ideas.
I've had several visitors to-
day. The waiter brought me
some eggs that I did not want.
The valet brought me an extra
blanket that I didn't need. The
chambermaid brought me some
pills that didn't take. And
the manager came in and
spoke in a language that I
didn't understand. 1t was all
very thrilling.
I did get one swell kick,
though. and since it will help

PLANE RATES
DROP YEARLY
Coast to- Coast Round Trip
Costs Only 1888.

NEW YORK. Feb. 19.-If a person
wanted to fly round trip from the
Pacific coast to New York two years
ago, it cost $500 and the trip was
made in a single engined mall
plane.
Today you can make the same
round trip in tri-motored paSsen-
ger transport, with meals furnished.
and with de luxe service comparable
to anything found on the European
continent for 1898. The one way
fare has dropped from 5000 to $16O.
The above is typical of what has
happened to airplane fares in the
last six months, until today the
average cost in the United States
is 6 cents a mile and the cost in
regular schedule of operations is ap-
proximately rail plus Pullman.
One of the largest air transport
lines in the world, in point of daily
mileage flown, whose planes fly a
million miles month, touching
forty-f1ve cities in nineteen states.
started off the year by announcing
plane plus Pullman fares. This was
followed by similar announcements
of other lines.
The average in 1881 was slightly
under z cents mile. Today the
average is less than cents a mile.
