STATUE OF COBB,
BUT WHO'LL PAY?
City Of Detroit and Sculptor
Both Wonder

Detroit, July 2o.-lR-Who Or
dered a statue OF Tyrus Raymond
Cobb, allegedly for erection on Belle
Isle, the city's recreation center?
The question was proving a mat
ter of concern to certain Detroiters
today.
Not the least Of them was Mayor
John w. Smith: his secretary Ed
ward speyer, and Russian sculptor.
Nixon Tregor. who has completed a
life size head of Clay which he says
represents The Spirit of Baseball
and Mr.. Cobb's features.
Tregor contends he began work on
the bust after the mayor brought
Cobb to his studio while the Phila-
delphia Athletics were playing their
first series here. Cobb posed for him
three mornings following that time
and then the sculptor followed him
to Chicago to continue the work.
Tregor added.
Now that the bust has been COM
pleted, Tregor wants to know who
will furnish the $4,000 necessary
to turn out a full length statue, if
that is what is wanted.
Mayor Smith says he doesn't know
and Speyer, to whom has been de-
tailed the task Of finding out, replies
Search me-"
1t al came about a luncheon given
the former Tiger manager when he
appeared here this spring for the
first time with the Athletics. Some
body-nobody seems to know who
suggested the erection of the statue
The introduction of Tregor and Cobb
followed.

WICHITA bubbles
GET COLD MEALS
:
Women in City Fighting Gas
Raise

Wichita. Kan, July 20 Up -
Father went home to cold dinner
in Wichita last night as thousands OF
housewives observed the citys nrst
"sasless Tuesday" In protest against
a schedule of higher gas rates order
ed this month by the Wichita Gas
Co.
Father learned, as he good-na-
turedly protested absence Of his cup
of hot coffee, that iced drinks, salads
and other cold dishes would be the
family menu each Tuesday for some
weeks to come.
Several days ago, after long liti-
cation In the courts, the gas COM
pany ordered a new schedule OF
rates which, according to the COM
pany's officials will mean the aver
age consumer will pay about ~
per cent higher gas bill each month.
The old rate was So cents for each
1000 cubic feet, plus 75-cent serv-
ice charge monthly. The new rate
for the average consumer of from
1000 to 5000 cubic feet a month Is
approximately So cents 1000.
Taking matters in their own hands
the city's housewives, at the instiga-
ton of the Federation Of Women's
clubs, decreed a "gasless Tuesday
and last night Mrs. John Maltbie.
president, declared thousands of
homes were without gas.
I'VE are going to have more gas
less Tuesdays until we win our
fight for lower rates." she said.
w. R. Phipps. manager Of the
Wichita Gas company. asserted there
had been no noticeable decrease in
the amount of gas used.
A mass meeting of citizens at
which public protest will be voiced
against the new rates is scheduled
for. Friday. The rate controversy is
still pending in the local district
court and the Kansas supreme
court.

PRINCE
NOW 6 YEARS old
II He Lives, Will Take Throne
in IL Years

Bucharest. Rumania, July 20 Up
Michael, the new child-king of Ru-
mania, will. if he lives ascend the
throne and begin his rule in fact as
we'll as in name on his eighteenth
birthday-12 years from October 25
next.
Prince Michael was born on that
date in 1921 and is not yet six
years old. Like most royal children,
his life has not been that of an or
binary child, and from now on it is
certain to be even less so. He has
been sheltered by three nurses
English, German and French-and
has not been permitted to mingle
Unfortunately with other chill
dren.
The little prince has been living
in handsome but not particularly
luxurious home on the principal
residential street of Bucharest,
where his mother, Princess Helen of
Greece, has led a quiet existence
since Prince Carol deserted her.
Fate has made Michael king long
before his time, his father having
renowned first his home and then
his throne to live his life as he
chose
Although not yet six, the young
king already speaks three languages
English, French and Rumanian.
Almost every morning when the
weather is good the royal child can
be seen enjoying his fixed hours OF
play under the trees of the broad
avenue in front of his home. Here
the aristocracy of Rumania spends
many of Its leisure hours. Almost
every afternoon he is taken for a
drive through the streets by his
nurse in a big American automo-
bile. The child is therefore
familiar sight to the street crowds
Of Bucharest.
Michael sometimes is taken by his
mother to children's parties in the
afternoon or to social gatherings
held for charita BILE purposes. He is
not robust and photographers sell
dom catch him laughing naturally

Thomas Darcy that when the or

grams than heretofore.

the evening with q new announcer,
operating without e. Boston accent,
for the Eveready group. Aside
from the regular performance OF the
WMAL Movie Club, which always
excites special interest, the most
important products of the wave
lengths seemed to be the concert
Of the Vikings from WEAF, the
Amherst Glee and Mandolin clubs
from WGN and a sextette who
sang late program from WSB.
In the Vikings endeavor Sigurd
Nilssen was the soloist. although
he did not sing with the vim ne
displays. The Amherst or
ganization played o rather unusual
program with its mandolins with
considerable finish, and the WSB
was made especially
because OF the excel

clarity with which they came to
receivers.
