City Fathers of Paris
Turn Franklin Statue

When the new avenue paul Dou-
mer" was opened, writes the Paris
correspondent Of the London Daily
Telegraph, the city fathers of Paris,
who watch over all the city's statues
with a paternal eye, decided that
Benjamin Franklin was III at ease.
Benjamin Franklin sits in a comfort
able armchair upon a fine pedestal
at the corner of the new avenue and
the Rue Franklin.
He would smile almost impercep.
tibly at the domes and towers of the
Trocadero, few yards away; but
obviously he was disturbed by the
new thoroughfare, especially as he
could not see properly what was
happening therein. So the city IA

then fixed his pedestal firmly in new
asphalt.

j. s. PROTESTS
JAP OIL RULE
BY International News Service

DE -NC"S FocENlto
The United States Government
has made formal representations
to Japan against the proposed
japanese oil monopoly in Man
chukuo, it was learned authori-
tatively today.
This Government also has made
formal representations to Tokyo
against the japanese demands
that American. as we'll as Brit.
ish and Dutch oil companies,
maintain a six-months' reserve
supply in Japan at all times.
So far, the japanese govern,
ment has failed too give any
satisfactory reply to the repre-
sentations and the United States
is still pressing the issue.
Tokyo's demand that the for.
eign oil countries maintain a
huge oil reserve in Japan was
regarded in official circles here
as an amazing and unprecedented
request for foreign government
to make. The motive behind it
was seen as purely of a military
nature. japanese warsnips are
propelled by oil fuel.
Furthermore. it was disclosed
that Japan not only wanted this
oil reserve maintained ny for.
eign nations, but had taken
measures to confiscate it at a
moments notice at the prevailing
price.

borrowing public is properly in
formed of the advantages to be
derived from having architects
consulted in matters relating to
modernization and new construc-
ton, but according to Mr.. Walker,
other agencies have not done so.
Mr. Walkers letter, sent to every
candidate for Congress in New
York State, scores the Treasury
Department for it's failure to keep
it's promise that the design OF
all buildings costing over 100000
would be entrusted to private
architects, working in their own
localities. Instead, he says, archi-
tects themselves are compelled to
divorce themselves from their
offices and homes and to work on
a salary basis as members of the
large staff which is being built up
in the office of the supervising
architect in Washington.
The Treasury is not the only
offender in this respect. The PWA
has been derelict in making provl-
sions in loan contracts for the en-
ployment of local architects, &C
cording to local observers, and the
institute points out that instances
where outside architects designed
public buildings for respective
communities without considerable
loss of time and prolonged dissen-
sion are exceedingly rare.
]. Lee Price, Oakcrest, Va, oper-
ator, has settled every one down
for the winter in his subdivisions
and has taken his family to Chi
cago for a two-week visit to the
Century of Progress fair.
It was Mr.. Price who put Vlr-
ginia Highlands on the map OF
Arlington county and he did it
with consummate thoroughness
The problem of domestic water
supply, for instance. was a con-
suming one in Arlington county
in those days, so Mr.. Price built
a water plant on the hill over
looking the comfortable develop
ment. It served the needs of that
growing community for several
years and the cost was well within
proper limits.
Now that building is on the in
crease and competition in selling
prices and construction costs will
become keener, it will be inter
esting to know what the manufac'
turers of materials will bring out
to shortcut these items this win
ter. Several new lines of insulat-
ing material and wallboard are al
ready about to appear on the
market, it is said.

Watkins Jubilant Over Trade to
Giants: Will Cover Center Field Patch

was going to be traded, but did not
hope for a shift to New York. I
came to Bradenton last Wednesday
and had a long talk with Branch
Hickey. He told me the st. Louis
club could not pay me the kind of
money I was holding out for, and
said that I had his permission to
make a deal for myself-that is, if
the team suited San Breadon and
him.
while I was trying to start
something in that direction, along
came the word to report to Bill
Terry. Hardly two hours after I
had come into camp yesterday
morning I was signed to New
York contract That only partly ex-
plains why ballplayers like to come
to the Giants"
IN st. Louis, Watkins played right
l. field, where there is mean sun
about the most unpleasant ter
rain in the major leagues. With
the Giants, George is to cover the
center patrol. At least, it is the
plan of Bill Terry to keep Watkins

in center, and work him against
southpaW as well as right handed
pitching, unless the new Giants
defensive abilities, and his left
handed stance at the plate, force
his manager to make other ar
rangementS.
How did Watkins feel about get
ting away from the st. Louis park?
He laughed. There is no uglier
place than right field in st. Louis,
where the sun handicapS your field
ing and cuts into your hitting. And
that's a tough park for the hitters.
too. AS you know, they are in the
habit of playing double headers
there on Sundays, and with a
pitcher, especially side-armer,
throwing out of those white shirts
in the bleachers, you're licked.
Il have no doubt that I can play
center field at the Polo grounds. 1

Houston and Rochester. and Frank
Snyder, who was my manager in
Texas, will tell you that I had no
trouble covering the wider patrol"
XXIATK1Ns here revealed an
w inventive streak. He is the
originator of the type of sun-glasses
used by nearly all major league
clubs. Finding the model in gen
eral use several years ago lacking in
several essential details, Watkins
spent a month with a Rochester
optical firm and developed glasses
which bear his name and on which
he collects royalties.
Mr.. Watkins chuckled. Say,
won't it be great not to have to bat
against the Giant pitchers! Last
year even the relief men were extra
tough. And as for Carl Hubbell-
well, he is the greatest pitcher I yet
have seen. Yes, I rate him over
George Earnshaw and Lefty Grove.
II guess he didn't fool those Sen
ators last fall! Carl is a lot faster
than folks imagine and he has two
types of screwball, one that drops
like ball falling off a table, and
another that breaks to the left. And
he has plenty of noodle to go along
with his stuff. You can't get set on
him.
mot having to face Hubbell.
Schumacher and the rest in twenty
two games is going to help me have
a grand year. I figure that a pull
hitter like myself ought to get quite
a few home runs at the Polo
Grounds. And that new ball is sure
to help me, too. 1t carries farther
and jumps through that inf1eld."
The Giants believe that in Wat
kins they have acquired a man who
will enable them to repeat.
