Skyscrapers Raise
Utility of Land as
Much as Is Fold
Equitable Building in New
York Has Largest Floor
Area of High Structures.

Modern construction methods and
the development of skyscrapers are in
creasing the utility of urban land as
much as Is fold, according to statis-
tics which have been prepared for
Stanley K. Green, president of ma
tional realty concern.
The Equitable Building, New York,
has the largest floor area of any sky
scraper in the world; total of 1886
600 square feet of rental space, built
on a ground area of 48,975 square feet,
he said. The Woolworth Building has
rental area of $4,000 square feet and
a ground area of 29.455 square feet.
The General Motors Building in New
York has a floor area of $40, ,745 and a
ground area of $4,000 square feet.
The New York Telephone Building
has a floor area of 100000 feet and a
tation Building has a rental area CT
$40. 900 square feet and ground area
of $4,000 square feet The Union Trust
Building in Cleveland, with a floor area
of 1,173000 square feet, and the Cen
eral Motors Building in Detroit, with a
floor area of 1,054,685 square feet. also
are examples of the creation of huge
rental areas on relatively small ground
space.
The average height of skyscrapers
throughout the United States has been
estimated at IL stories and the average
floor space 10000 square feet Mr..
Green reports. The high-grade COM
mercial buildings of New York and Chi
cago are considerably in excess of this
average New York has more than 200
skyscrapers of more than 20 stories.
An estimate of the floor space of these
buildings places it at more than 100000
feet per building; average ground area
estimated at $4,000 square feet. This
average is exceeded in many individual
cases, and new tower structures, such
as the Chrysler Tower, with rental
area of 100000 square feet and a ground
area of 1880, will raise the general
average.

lection of 95 per cent of the total as
sessable city levy. 1t is the lowest tax

PADDOCK JUST AS
 SPEEDY AS EVER
Fastest Human Plans to Train
 With SCbolz for 0lympics

New York. March 30 Ri-The fastest feet that ever spurned a cin- der track are just as fleet as ever after IS seasons of record That js the story of Charley Pad dock. the blonde meteor of Califor- nia. and he hopes to prove his point by cracking more speed marks and winding up his Olympic career with at least one triumph at Amsterdam this summer.
 Firing the opening gun of bis come back campaign at Houston,
 Tex. Saturday, by stripping three tifths of a second from his own A. second record for 14O yards, Pad dock is in New York-for two weeks on business. But his pleasure while here will be to sprint wherever and whenever possible, against any avail able opposition.
 Competition alone can give the ra- zor edge necessary to stand off the sprnting youngsters now bring i Olympiad. To gain this. Paddock
 has conspred with the only other dash veteran ever 10 represent Uncle Sam twice abroad---Jackson V, Scholz. They plan to race each other into the finest shape ot their Colorful careers.
 l l,imping about the Columbia uni
 versity dressing room with two "tender' Achilles tendons, the chunky. dynamic speed king tossed ! one arm about Schozs slender shoulders. They had just finished al- i most an hour of dummy sprints for
 the benefit of a battery of camera
 men.
 i We want to go back" Charley
 announced, for just ono more crack
 at those foreigners, In our two trips
 abroad we've only won single
 Olympic cha mplonship apiece We
 want more
 Paddock is mighty proud of the
 fact, however. that he has scored
 more points for the United States in
 Olympic games than any other ath- { lcte now in competition. And
 strangely enough. the veteran
 Scholz with the hair thinning
 slightly on the top of his head,
 stands second.
 Charley has scored 4 1-c points,
 he figured, with one frs, place in the loo meter event. q second in the
 goo, and a quarter section of tue

 Scmi-Finnls Tonight
 The senior a"m-tinal games will be played tonight. with Co. II meet ing the Emeralds and the Phantoms opposing the All stars. Co. .H proved i,sclt il real dark horse" by it's ex- cellent showing against the Emer- aids Wednesday night. and it will not be lightly dismissed from con- siderati9n. The team will probably line up with smith and Mieczkow- ski as forwards, Sake at center, and Ross and Hattinss as guards. and should make trouble The Lions, however, are now the favorites 10 win the tourney. their win over the Boys club being considered an in- dication of their supreme caliber. This team, which has never been de- tcated, will use Louis Marselli and Bucheri in the fore-court, Dennis in the circle, and Luke and karbonc Marseli, Zcmbko. and Heinzman ready 10 step in If needed.
 The Phantoms would not be fav- ored to defeat the Al-Stars under any circumstances, and the fact that they had 10 play a hard game last night while their opponents were idle increases the odds against them. but the team sprang such q surprise last night that there is no telling what il may do in it's second start of the tournament. This clever lit- tle bunch of players will use Cohen. Crane, 1kowi'z, Levine and Yanko- witz with Alden IIewett in reserve.
 Tho All-Stars. who are tho high school squad playing independently. are fresh but they may also prove to De out Of practice because of the same lay-olf which has resulted in this freshness. They were lucky enough 10 draw a bye in the first round, but. whether or not this will allow them to use the injured Freddie Saunders or not is proble- matical. Ii not, Reid will probably jump. with Ialeski and Kraszewski as forwards and Landino and Sowka in the backcourt.
 fhe semi final matches will be cleaned up tomorrow afternoon, when the First Lutheran Juniors and Whippets will meet in the junior division at :S0 o'clock and two intermediate games are played: The Boys Club Reserves against tll" Flashes and the Pythons against the Eagles. The last named team drew the bye in it's division. The final games will be played Monday after noon and evening.

 Paddock believes that the German sprinting quartet of Houben, Kor- nig. Schiller and Miller. will be the team America must beat in tho 1928 dashes. kornig. especially. he says, is star who can turn in record equalling time for the 100 metres.
 Why l beat that fellow in a race in Germany last year and he ran as if inspired" Charley said. "He is 50 temperamental that he works him self into q frenzy before a big race. Blood was running from his nose and he frothed at the mouth as he ran. On one of hts good days. Kor- nig probably would take any of us"
 Charley still fancies the "Leaping Lena" finish at the tape that has made him such colorful performer, even though the usefulness of that final leap for the worsted always has been questioned, the Californian feels that it is too late now to teach the old dog new tricks.
 AS for the men he and Scholz must battle to win berths on the Olympic squad. Paddock has some pertinent remarks to make. Fred Alderman. the Illinois A. C. crack who chased him to the new 140 yard record, isn't the best dash man in the country as Charley once thought Alderman, 1t seems. is bet ter from :sQ yards to a quarter mile.
 Too much competition in Prep" ley Borah, the University of South crn California wrath. and Paddock fears he never will be consistently good again. Borah was clocked in , S.lo seconds for the hundred yards while a student at Anover academy. Aubrey Bracey. youthful Rice Institute star, who turned in 2 5-lo seconds for a hundred in inc Rice relays, has a world of speed, but hardly enough experience.
 Scholz pricked up his ears as Pad dock pointed out the strength and weaknesses of Americas sprinters.
