People converged from everywhere

Airplane Comparison
Causes Sore Spot
Sore spot with not only Mr..
Mayock but all dirigible men is that
the public is won't to compare air
ships with airplanes. The route ap-
plications. for example, were con-
sidered on competitive basis by the
CAB with airplane company appli-
cations.
Admiral Rosendahl has stoutly
maintained that airships are in a
field by themselves, both in war and
peace, and supplement rather than
vie with surface craft and airplanes.
But for a technicality OF word
ing in the Maritime Act" says Mr..
lMayock, I'VE could easily apply to

establishment OF airship routes"

For Use in Wartime
In fact, it was learned that men,
bers of the CAB. who believe in the
general supremacy of the airplane,

!. akin to ships than planes and hence
should come under the Maritime
Commission for administrative pur-
poses rather than under the CAB
or CAA.
Although this country has built
no rigid airships since the Macon
and Akron, it built lat blimps for
the Navy during the war at a cost
Of more than $58, 100000. Lighter

ReUie1Ued bu
l. WILLIAM HILL
Every ones tried it: Meeting some
one interesting and afterwards at
tempting to tell about it so you'll
get not only the facts but the feel
of the personality. Here, Robert
Van Gelder, editor of the New York
Times Sunday book section has
gathered together SO of his inter-
views with writer's that were pub
lished in the Times from February
II, 1910 through January 27, 1916.
Mr.. Van Gelder knows how to
make his interviews interesting.
Too often newspaper interviews are
a collection of miscellaneous quota
tions that give no feeling of q
personality. How Mr.. Van Gelder
does it, he reveals in an introduc-
ton called Notes on the Literary
Life" It's a business of avoiding
stale, preconceived ideas of the per-
son to be interviewed, listening to
them talk for an hour or so, ask
ing as few questions as possible and
never putting the celebrity off by
taking out pencil and paper to make
notes.
AS a result, writers and Writing
presents an hours ssmpling from
the lives of each of 80 literary
figures. You have Ernest Heming-
way revealing he writes his novels
slowly and by hand while partying
in New York hotel room: you have
Clarence Budington Kelland play
ing golf and remarking between
strokes that fiction should be the
story OF interesting characters in
interesting situations told charm
ingly.
The advantage of Mr.. Van Gelderls
method of interviewing is that his
subjects seem human-as, for exam
pie, Theodore Dresser sitting in his
hotel suite saying that all dogs are
intelligent and, when they dont
seem so, it's because they've beer
retarded by the people who owr
them. A disadvantage is that, since
Mr.. Van Gelder asked so few ques-
tions. his subjects were sometimes
preoccupied with some passing in
terest rather than their speciality
An example of this is the interview
with Sinclair Lewis, who talked OF
his acting rather than his writing
The fact that so many of the
interviews took place during the wal
years also led many writers to say
things that were merely topical
Somerset Vaughan remarked be
was through with fiction for the
duration. Since giving the inter
view he has published three novels
The fact remains, Mr. Van Gelder's
book Is as good a collection oi
literary snapshots as has yet beer

what goes on behind the scenes oi
literary life. there are countless
revelations OF the work habits oi
writing men, many conflicting.
You discover why Erskine Caldwell
has to have exercise. why Edns
Ferber thinks old writers shoulc

how John P. Marquand has sole
