portant link in his system that prac-
tically all operation is cut off by his
inability to close it. So, until heat
from the furnace dries out the wood,
things are at a standstill on this
excellent model railroad.
Mr.. Foltz has been a model rail
builder since 1917, but until 1885 he
was a tinplater. When he started to
change over from tinplate to scale,
he reversed the usual order Of such
things and built passenger cars first.
Even now he has only few freights
and is still concentrating on building
passenger equipment. So far, most
of these cars have been built with
out the use of kits. Some of them
are extremely detailed inside. There
Is a dining car, complete with chairs,
tables, lights, mirrors and even
water bottles on the tables.
This is three-rail system, as most
0-gauge outfits still are, but the
rolling stock is being made two-rail,
so that it can be operated on the
layout of the Metropolitan Society
of Model Engineers at Union Sta
ton. Incidentally, Mr.. Foltz is in
charge of construction on the o.
gauge layout of the M. s. NJ. E. and
has supplied the following figures on
progress OF work on that part OF
the club system:
The framework, platform and rail
base is about 90 per cent complete
and should be finished shortly. The
main line is about is per cent in
place. The construction schedule
on this calls for the entire system
to be in operation year from now.
However, a model railroad, like its
prototype, is always growing, chang
ing and improving. Always looking
for new territory to serve, so it can
never be considered completely fin
ished. 1t may be placed in opera
ton, but the work will still go on.
That's one of the things that make
it so interesting.
Plans for the M S. M E. 0-gauge
layout call for about 1900 feet of
main line, all two-rail. Two hundred
feet of this will also have a cat
enary. The yards and Sidings will
be in addition to this l,500 feet.
A short interurban line also is
planned.
Mr.. Foltz is also a member of
the District of Columbia Chapter
of the Electric RailroaderS As
sociation and an ardent advocate
of rail fan trips. He goes on these
trips with a movie camera and re-
cords the details on film for future
reference.

tinuation of those two pictures.
"The Ex-Mayor of Boys Town." CO.
starring Spencer Tracy and Mickey
Rooney, already is definite picture
on the studios schedule. It will
have not only the same cast, SUBJ
stantially, but will be a continuation
OF the story of Father Flannagans
effort in behalf of underprivileged
youngsters.
So far as the sequel to "Babes in
Arms" is concerned, Metro is much
more definite. The Mickey Rooney
Judy Garland-June Preisser- Doug
las MacPhail-Betty Jaynes cast will
be reassembled for a second film
to be called Babes on Broadway"
The story will deal with the fate
OF the youngsters on the worlds
most sophisticated street, to which
they have brought the show of
which they made such q tremen-
dous success in Freeport. Long
Island.
Mr.. Rogers, who talked of the
program at yesterdays session of
M-G-M statesmen at the Shoreham
Hotel, Is sanguine of the result.
Equally sanguine is he of the
summer program of the studio,
which includes seven Of the largest
and most expensive pictures in the
company's history. Once it was
the custom of the movie makers
to fear summer as a plague, they
think OF their business in terms Of
q 40-week season, just as did the
legitimate theater.
That" said Mr.. Rogers, was
before air cooling. Now 1t is per-
fectly possible that we shall do
more business with a good picture

Chaplin Faces
Total Loss
On Picture
Hitler Caricature
Believed Trapped
In War Change
BY HAROLD HEFFERNAN.
HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
Charlie Chaplin loomed today as
the first individual Hollywood vic
tim of the European war to the
possible extent of $1,500,00O.
During the prolonged processes
necessary to weld comedy to Chap
Inns requirements his latest picture,
tentatively titled ''The Dictator" in
work more than a year, may be
considered outdated by the time it
is ready for release.
Some persons closely allied to
Chaplin's lot and to his releasing
organization, United Artists, were
predicting it would never reach the
screens. This possible withdrawal,
they said, is due to the suddenly
changed attitude of democracy
fans toward Adolf Hitler.
Although Chaplin never divulges
plot details and keeps the press as
far as possible from his sight and
hearing. word did leak out that
the comic was concentrating on a
musical comedy portrayal of Hitler,
representing him as pompous Gill
bert and Sullivan sort of fellow,
whose greatest interest was in his
many uniforms and decorations.
Much Of the rest of the world
viewed him In similar vein even
after the No. Nazi sent his troops
into Denmark and Norway, but
Chaplin and his supporters today
are wondering whether Hitler, since
his invasion of the Lowland Coun-
tries, can be stretched into a comic
character any more.
With shooting completed, except
for finale scene involving only
Chaplin, 1t is understood the story's
action could not be revamped suf-
f1ciently to overcome the worri-
some nature of the main charac-
terization. The entire story is said
to move around the Hitler charac-
ter. Friends say Chaplin is gravely
worried over the situation. He
finances his own pictures, and a
million and half loss would prove
q rude blast even at the huge for
tune he is known to have accumu-
lated IN Is years as a top comedy
figure. Chaplin could not be
reached for statement.

It Costs to Copy

When Brigham Young started his
famous trek westward with his
hardy band nearly 100 years ago he
was little curious about how far
they would travel.
Sc he set up the forerunners of
today's speedometer. It didn't reg
lister speed, because nobody cared
much, but it clicked of every revo-

calculated 800 revolutions to q mile
and found himself with a device
blographers say was accurate to
within few inches in that distance.
When Twentieth Century Fox
started filming the pilgrims life, one
OF the orders was for reproduction
OF the makeshift mileage meter.
