Details Fixed. - 8ir Keith -Smith. yesterday dis- olosed to The Star hix plans for a 23, '000-mile round-the-world trip this spring in an amphibian atrplane. In the home of the National Geo- graphic Boclety, ensconced in an arm- .| chair, he talked as coolly as though he were discussing the weather. He looked like one of the “story book™ well dressed Britons, as without & trace of overenthusiasm, he outlined a project, which, if completed succes: fully, will furnish data for an im- portant volume In the annals of air navigation. He came here on one of the final trips of preparation. He has spent weeks in the orient, arranging for landing places, and arrived in th country a short time ago for confe! with experts regarding al routes and weather conditions. WIill Leave in April.

The trip must be so arranged to avoid the monsoons of India and the typoons of China and Japan. To strike one of these storms means in all probability a speedy and | fatal end of the enterprise. In talking to Sir Keith one gets & !hunch that his project will go j through with flying colors. He's not what one ordinarily would expect a knight of the realm to be. On the other hand, he is what Americans in eir most' complimentary way call SIR KEITH-SMITH. My _brother and I had a after the Australian flllht know what publicity it would attract.

A young chlp, clad in quiet blue, with a soft collar and carelessly arranged tie—although he did wear spats— rose from the leather upholstered armchair.
