Use the EiGeI Tower.

Eiffel conceived and erected the
great tower in Paris, but it has kept
the entire French nation busy ever
since to figure out what to do with
it. A few have solved the problem
for their own satisfaction by using
it for suicidal purposes and several
lives are sacrificed every time it is
painted. In spite of these draw
backs Paris does not take kindly to
the idea of tearing the tower down
and Is constantly searching for an
idea to turn it to serious account.
The latest one appeals most
strongly to practical common sense
by proposing to utilize it for wireless
Topography and particularly to flash
twice each day the correct time into
space for the information of mar
liners. A recent trial disclosed tho
fact that its greatest inaccuracy was
one-half a second. If further trials
show the transmission TO be reliable
the plan should prove of inestimable
value to mariners in computing theil
longitude at times when clouds anC
fog obscure the heavens. 1t would
indeed be strange If this monster toy
should ultimately be utilized to ac
Complish such a desirable end.

It's over small and trifiing Ills
We make the largest fuss.
We grumble at the little things
Because they are not thus.
A corn not any bigger than
A FOUNDERS diamond stud
Arouses us until we roar
And almost call for blood.
The larger troubles as they come
We meet without complaint
And master them or pass them up.
Nor at their frownings faint.
But when a collar button falls
And rolls beyond our eye
We raise the roof and scare our FOLKS
And every passerby.
We bear the burdens Of the day
With fortitude and grace,
Despise the turmoil and the toll
And all the shadows chase.
But when shoestring peddler takes
A minute of our time
We rise in wrath and storm and rage
And stop just short of crime.
But there is some protection in
This method of attack.
The big ones call forth some respect.
The small ones can't strike back.
And when we stamp them in the ground
Or at their presence ehafe
We know as well as any one
That we are playing safe.
