Assembling Seaplanes

A system of assembling, testing, and launching sesplanes which s declared to be unexcelled in speed, accuracy and efficiency has been established at the naval air station. at San Diego, Cal. Starting with wide corcrete floor, which extends down into the bay. huge concrete sheds were built on either side. leaving the central floor open and unobstructed These concrete sheds have no front or rear walls and in the roof are placed a large number of steel bars, 50 arranged that a block and tackle can be instantly attached at almost any point. writes Frank B. Howe in an article carrying full-page illustration in Popular Me- chanics Magazine.
 Wooden cradles. so fashioned that the body of the plane just fits in them se- curely, were next built and mounted on wheels.
 When a knocked-down plane arrives at the station. it is uncrated in one of these open sheds and built up gradually being set right into the cradle at the start. just as ships keel plate Is laid. When the craft is all put together. it is wheeled out into the open, on the con- crete floor and the engine tested It is then ready to be launched.

Washington. December 27.--Crticizng the deportation order against Ludwig c. A. K Martens Russian soviet agent in the United States, Senator France. re- publican, Maryland. in statement to- night declared that it 'is time for our government to forget its prejudces and follow the example of Great Britain by opening up the channels of trade for American citizens in all parts of the world
 When Martens leaves the country" said Senator France. the Russian peo- pie will be without a representative here, and while their representatives in Great Britain have been recognized. and most profitable orders for immense quantities of goods are being placed by these rep resentatives in England. the United States, by Jour policies, will be isolated and prevented from participation in this most desirable and lucrative trade.
 T shall not go go far as to say that this policy of our government towards Russia has been dictated by the British, hut we do know it has been most ad- vantageous to their interests.
 The dearth of manufactured articles in Russia is so great and the purchasing power of the soviet government so great" Senator France added. that the opening of Russian markets would do much to restore more prosperous condl- ticns in this country''

FORMER BARON TO l START SEASON
 IN BUGS INFIELD
Barnhart and Tierney Are Ex- pected to Fill Third and Sec
 ond Base, Respectively
By WILLIAM FEET Sporting Editor Pittsburg Dispatch

Pittsburs. December 27-(Speciall During the flying visit of Manager Gi5- son to this city for conference with Owner Dreyfuss regarding certain pros- pectve trades the spring exhibition schedule and other important matters, Gibson let drop a few significant re. marks He said
 ''I do not know just what team will take the field when the season opens IT, April, but I am certain that young Barn. hart, if he shows the class displayed here late in the fall, and Tierney from Oklahoma, will play third and second base, for. to my way of thinking. these youngsters have brilliant futures ahead of them.
 Gibby qualified this statement by add. ing: There is. of course. chance that some of the other youngsters may show to better advantage. but both Barnhart and Tierney have been under fire in the big show and have delivered the goods. :"
 GRIMM NOT A FIXTURE
 The first base proposition Is far from settled and those who admire Lefty Grimm, wonderful fielder believe tha, he is the man >who should be placed on the initial sack and kept there. whether he can hit lick or not
 This is bum logic Grimm could easily be carried if the Pirates can flash two other members of the infield able to hit 300 or better. Possibly Barnhart and Tierney will hit up to that mark, but it is doulEful
 The first base job is not worrying Gib. son for minute He could shift George Whitted over there and the team would be strengthened in batting. He might also make 8 first sacker out of Cliff Lee. and there is that fine prospect from the Pacific, coast whom experts have de- clared stands a fine chance of making good.
 The shortstop position is the only doubtful spot, and until present nego- tiations are off, it is hard to say just who will be in that place next April,
 Walter Barbare last spring started out like a house afire This ianlly youth is capable of playing good ball, and his friends believe that. but for the untimely accident in Shreveport when a~ pitched have opened the 1920 season A short but would have played there all season n brilliant fashion.
 Before departing for his home in Can- ida, Gibson was bubblng over with opti- ,lism about his 1921 prospects. The big ellow knows exactly what he needs: here is plenty of money in the treas 1ry to pay for players if necessary. and Gibson would come right out and say what he thinks. he would almost promise he fans of Pittsburg pennant winner l. 1921.
 At any rate. every effort is being made 0 strength the local club. and if the }ecessary strength is not added it will 1e no fault of Messrs. Gibson and Drey- fuss.
