FAMOUS OLD HOTEL DE SENS
OF PARIS SOON TO BE RESTORED
Huge Structure of Warlike Facade Like Leftover
Monster in Its Modern Surroundings.

receding into a network of ancient
streets leading back through the Rue
Charlemagne, INTO the Rue st. Antoine.
1t is of immense size and confronts
the tame little mo6ernized square like
some mastodon left over from pre-
historic times, a grim apparition from
a sinister vanished world. 1t is un-
speakably dilapidated covered with
advertisements, and the notice boards
of small tradesmen who inhablt its vast
interior, its windows broken and stuffed
with old newspapers, yet through all
this humiliation its ancient grandeur
asserts itself, is perhaps even more
impressive from the contrast with the
ruin and squalor in which it has been
allowed to fall.
AS long ago as l842 Victor Hugo
fought for its restoration in vain, and
not till 1911, owing to the exertions Of
the organization known as Les Amis
du Vieux Paris" did it become the
property of the city of Paris, which,
none the less, has allowed all these
years to pass without raising a hand to
arrest its further decay.
However, when at last it is restored,
made spic and span, and turned into a
decorouS museum, we shall surely miss
some of the imaginative appeal which it
has in its present degenerate state. Let
us hope that the restorer will not, as
too many restoring architects have
done. restore" all the character out of
it. till it comes to look like a modern
imitation of what it was. If that should
happen, one may well fear that some
of the many picturesque ghosts which
inhabit it may find it uncomfortably re-
spectable.

Gains Strong Support.
Strong public support is being given
to the measure introduced in the
House by Representative Bowman of
West Virginia and in the Senate by
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, with
spokesmen for the Washington Board
OF Trade, the District Bankers Associ-
ton, the Investment Bankers Associ-
alton of America and the Washington
Real Estate Board urging it's enactment
This measure is of the fraud type of
act, whereas the measure passed by
the Senate is Of the blue sky commits
sion type, proposing to employ members
OF the District Public Utilities Commits
sion as the regulatory agents This
measure was introduced by Senator
Blaine of Wisconsin.
The characteristic principle of this
type OF act is that no securities except
certain exempt classes shall be offered
Tor sale until they have been registered
by the commission. Some securities
could be registered by mere notification
and others only after they have been
qualified to the satisfaction of the
commission.
There was considerable opposition to
this type of measure from the business
organizations and interests of Wash
ington at the hearings before the
House and Senate committees last year.
Provides for Injunction.
These organizations now are seeking
passage of the Bowman Reed measure,
which proposes regulation by a different
process, based primarily on employment
OF court injunction.
Under the Bowman measure persons
and concerns offering securities for sale
here would have to be registered with
the superintendent of insurance of the
District. No person convicted of any
criminal offense in connection with
any transaction involving the sale or
cffer for sale of securities could be
registered and deal in securities here

his arms and legs projecting and un-
protected.
Among the other headings which the
doctor feels should be investigated Is
the matter of physical fltness-Where
death may result from play when physi-
cal disability should have originally
oisbarred the player from participation.
One death, Cortland Normal, 1880, was
due to a kidney injury where kidney
pathology was present and the player
should have been disbarred. Another Is
fatigue, which reduces the care whlch
the player would normally take TO pro-
tect himself.
stflI another Is foot ball technique.
Are some methods of blocking and
tackling as effective as others, and
safer? Three methods Of tackling are
commonly taught-body in front, head
in front and head behind. Each has
its advocates. There ought to be some
basis for demonstrating which system
actually is safer for the same degree
of effectiveness. And the same goes
for blocking methods.
Finally, the matter Of injuries is not
always attributable to factors attended
to before the game, for in the contests
such variable factors as distance, rela-
| tive speed of players, inability to have
the feet in good position for take-on
ETC., force the player to do merely
what he can under the circumstances.
And the relative merits Of the two an
tagonists, good, big one and less
skilled little one, alter the case. Much
more emphasis might be placed upon
a players being light on his feet or
keeping moving until play is over to
prevent leg injuries, which may occur
If he is Unexpectedly struck from the
side, with one or both legs firmly
! placed on the ground.
The Teutonic challenge may be q
| prominent one along many lines OF
sport for 1882. In addition to Max
Schmeling's defense of his heavyweight
| title, there Is also Hans NuSSleir, the
German tennis champion. who will
| offer his stuff against Bill Tilden,
Winnie Richards and others at the pro
championship, which breaks out in
Madison Square Garden, New York, on
Monday. II the United States had @

EAST ACHIEVES 60
WIN ON WET FIELD
OutcIasses Western Eleven
Before $4,000 in Charity
Game at Frisco.
Nv tsnk Associated PreSs

BY tae Associated Press
u AN FRANCISCO, January a.
Gridiron stars from east Of the
Mississippi River outslid their
Western foes 60 yesterday by
scoring touchdown in the first quar-
ter Of the annual San Francisco foot
ball game for the benefit of the Shrin-
ers' Hospital for Crippled Children here.
In rain soaked Kezar Stadium, filled
close to capacity with seme $4,000 spec
tators. the West made a gallant fight,
and twice, by stubborn goal-line de-
fense, kept the powerful Eastern ball
carriers from digging their cleats in
scoring turf after advancing to the s.
yard line. But as for a Western Of
IenSive threat-there was none.
The West squad was rich in talent
at passing and the wide-open style Of
play, but never had a chance to use it.
The held was soaked at the start Of
the game and rain started falling soon
afterward. Players quickly worked the
middle OF the gridiron into a quagmire
that gave little footing for passers and
runners.
East's Line a BuIwark.
The Herculean strength of the East
ern line was the most brilliant spark
Of a game that lacked thrills for the
spectators. Pitted against the best for
wards of Western elevens, such giants
as Hickman, Marvil, Hoffman, McMur-
do and Chalmers dominated the game.
Time after time they blasted holes
through which Hinkle, Russell and Nor
;on gained momentum that carried them
we'll into the Vests secondary before
going down.
Ten first downs for the East as
against one for the West, that on q
penalty, Is truthful representation of
the comparative offensive strength of
the teams. The East advanced a net
total of 1873 yards, while the West
gained just 10 more yards than her
backs lost on the slippery battle ground
OF seven passes, five by the West and
two by the East, none was completed.
Merle Hufford's punts, most of them
carrying well over 40 yards, provided
occs Sional sparkle, but for the most
part potential brilliance of both teams
was shrouded by the dull, dripping
skies.
