Plan to Cut Tuileries
In Two Stirs Protest

PARIS.-A new campaign to cut the
Tuileries in two, with a highway con-
tinuing the Rue de Castiglione across
the Pont de Solferino, thus creating a
beeline communication between the
opera and the left bank has again put
the defenders of old Paris On their
mettle
Nobody seems to know who started
the agitation this time, but there are
always plenty Of bureaucrats who imag-
inc themselves the successors of Baron
Haussmann.
A street cut through the TuilerieS
would spoil one of the finest urban per-
spectives in the world-the clear sweep
from the Louvre up to the Arc de
Triomphe. 1t would make two dinky
gardens out of the Tuneries instead of
a single grandiose one. Worse STILL it is
feared that exhaust gases would kill
the trees. phenomenon already OBJ
served in the Champs Elysees. Certain
ly the noise of the traffic would make
outdoor opera on Summer evenings i'm
possible.
But perhaps the strongest argument
against the scheme is that it would not
facilitate traffic, as the proposed new
highway would come bang up against
block of buildings at the Rue de
TUniversitie. The newly widened Pont
de la Concorde seems able to care easily
for all the cross-river traffic In that
part of town.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Ralph

Practically all the leading American

1t is also shown that even despite the
economic depression shares in European
armaments firms (Hotchkiss Machine

and several others have been practi-
cally unaffected The Hotchkiss firm
has repaid its share capital three times
over since 1914, and, in addition, paid
dividends of 80 per cent for many
years.
According to the Leagues arma-
ments year book considerably more
than $37, 900, 900 has been spent on
armaments by various states in the
past 10 years. OF this amount at least
$3.50, 100000 has gone exclusively for
war material such as guns, cartridges,
explosives, etc. The profits on war ma
terfal alone, according to authoritative
statistics, are between 200 per cent and
300 per cent. after production costs
have been paid.

the American delegation, speaking to
the disarmament conference, estimated
the cost of a heavy tank at S45 900

Florence Chadwick of San Diego,
her nearest rival in the 300-yard
medley swim, first national cham
pionship of the A A. U. meet at
Tempe Beach, near here.
In winning, the Fort Lauderdale
child showed a versatility that
stunned the crowd. Impartially,
she forged ahead 20 yards in 100
yards of breast stroke, 10 yards
more in 100 yards of backstroke.
and 10 yards more in 100 yards Of
freestyle.
At the finish, her crawl was run
ming like a Swiss watch, and she
had the strength and wind left to
haul herself out of the pool and
yell encouragement to Miss Chad
wick and Dorothy Smithson Of Los
Angeles, who finished third.
Miss RaWls' time was 4:52.4, four
seconds lower than her national
record and six seconds lower than
her own world record.
The medley was the only national
event of the first night. which saw
a score of state championships
awarded in mems and women's
events.
Miss RaWls will compete tonight
in the 200-yard breaststroke, with
her chief opposition expected from
Genevieve Scully, San Diego.
Saturday evening she will attempt
to duplicate her astonishing feat
of the women's Olympic tryouts, a
victory over Georgia Coleman in
the Women's high springboard
event. an ambition shared by Dor
othy Poynton of Hollywood, who
placed third in the Olympics.
Though she had not arrived to-
day, Miss Coleman was expected to-

Leaving little room for doubt as
to the superiority of the pert-siders
as pitted enmasse against the right

on their left sides last night won
their second victory, 13 to 7, from
a team composed entirely of right

The left-handers' victory was one
of the most spectacular of the sea
son. Behind to 0 as they came to
bat in the fifth inning, there
seemed little hope for victory. But
a wild fifth inning rally which
netted the lefties seven runs spelled
defeat for the right-handed team.
Baker and Patterson led in hits,
with three each. Post and South

Only two wins are necessary to
