Tower A
VALUABLE
Thing
STRUCTURE WAS ABOUT TO BE
TORN DOWN AT ONE TIME
AS USELESS


Paris, Oct. 25. The famous Eiffel
Tower Of Paris, the highest steel
structure Of its kind in the world.
was about to be torn down several
years ago on account of its useless
ness. Today it is regarded as one
Of Frances most valuable possessions.
The French capital, because of the
Eiffel Tower, has become the wire
less center the world.
Underneath the Champ de Mars, in
which the tower stands, a vast sub
terranean wireless plant has been
constructed. It's presence is scarcely
suspected by the passerby, for it's
only entrance is little more than a
trap door in the ground, partly CON
oealed by clump of trees. But
should he attempt to approach too
near the little iron staircase leading
underground, he will find his way
barred by soldiers
Below ground, amid a maze Of pas
sages, gigantic machines and con.
tinual cracking and flashing Of the
wireless, corps of military engi-
neers and electrical experts are work
ing day and night to perfect instru-
ments on the accuracy Of whose mes
sages in wartime may depend
Frances victory or defeat, and on
which also will depend the adequate
cooperation Of the allied army Of
Russia. It was in his laboratory here
that Professor Henry Abraham OF
the sorbonne, talked today of what
his work as a member of the French
Wireless mission sent by the govern
ment to Washington, will be. Profes-
sor Abraham will not join his col
leagues until late in October.
'During our work at Arlington last
spring" said he, 1--WE succeeded in
cooperation with our American as
sociates in establishing the relative
time of washington and Paris within
the tenth of second. Since then
we have been able to improve greatly
the receiving and recording of wireless
messages. We expect now to estab-
lish the time of washington to within
the hundredth of a second, and as
part Of this result the longitude Of
washington as related to Paris.
France will later send missions to the
other principal nations with the OBJ
ject of establishing a similar accur
acy in the relative times, Once this
work is accomplished, the world will
receive time signals from the Eiffel
Tower and will be able to register
them to within the hundredth Of a
second.
'"This effort for accuracy to within
the hundredth of a second has requir-
ed a tremendous Improvement in the
wireless apparatus and great ad-
vance in clock-making. Two Of the
most important pieces of the equip
ment which we shall take to Ameri-
ca will be chronometers Of such ex-
treme precision that after being set
before leaving France they are relied
upon not to vary appreciably during
the whole of our time in America,
1--WE shall use photography in regis |
tering Eiffel Tower signals for fixing
the exact longitude of Washington i
Las Vegas optic., 1913-10-25

We arrive easily at an accuracy of a
hundredth part of second by means
Of a film revolving at a fixed rate Of
speed and luminous spot influenced
by the wireless messages. In regis
tering the speed of radio waves have
succeeded in dividing the second into
10000 parts. Experiences so far on
the speed Of wireless waves tend to
show that they travel at the same
speed as light, from which we make
the important deduction that they are
the same thing"

WOMAN SHOULD KEEP YOUNG.


And her chief concern, houseworl should be made as
efficient for her possible that she may remain in the
pringtime Of life beyond her ordinary allotted years
Efficiency and its kindred phrase Scientific manage
ment come readily enough to the tongue of every wein
formed person nowadays The efficiency idea has grown and
been put into practice here there and everywhere until it has
come to be common topic Of conversation
Yet strange to relate though many husbands talk bus
ness efficiency the dinner table to their wives and guests
such thing as HOUSEHOLD EFFICIENCY never seems
to to them BUT THERE is JUST AS MUCH
LOGIC IN HOUSEHOLD EFFICIENCY AS IN INDUS
TRIAL EFFICIENCY. Someone not long ago made a
chance auson to it. the germ Of the idea spread until now
HOUSEHOLD EFFICIENCY has been put into practice
in many progressive homes
The three most important steps in household efficiency
are:
First Study ones IDEAS about every item Of household
work until you have worked out an economical way
Of doing every task
Second Study the management Of the kitchen, the
main zone Of housework in every home
ThirdThe final step for the housewife is to select the
most efficient tools
As to the first step for example woman realizes
that it is very awkward and wasteu method to pile dishes
with the dainboard on her right and the dishes piled on her
left she will have the drainboard changed the left and
stack her soed dishes her right side where they will be
more get-at-able.

etc, everything that the mistress Of the household does in
