Paris Also Has Leaning
Tower as an Attraction

The Leaning Tower of Paris-not
Pisa-SoOn may rank with other
leaning towers of the world. The
crooked tower of the Church of No
tire Dame de Bonne-Nouvelle has
not yet rated Baedeker's guide, but
it is decidedly on the slant and is
attracting more and more visitors
who find a leaning tower more in
teresting than an erect one, writes
a Paris United Press correspondent
in the Chicago Tribune.
Every year the crack grows wild
er between the tower and the side of
the church to which it is joined.
Once a rectangular clock, fixed in
the side Of the tower, told the time
to everyone for miles around, but
when the tower got such pronounced
inclinations the clock could not adj
Just itself to the situation. So some
one compromised things by hanging
the clock on wrought iron bracket
extending over the sidewalk.
When the tower of Bonne-Nouvelle
began leaning, nobody knows. Anne
of Austria laid its cornerstone back
in 1898 and Anne laid the stone
straight. What she and no one else
realized was that Bonne-Nouvelle
hill was nothing but city dump
the uninhabited back yard of Six
teenth century Parisians, who threw
so much rubbish away that their
rubbish pile grew into a hill.
So, while chicken coops and flimsy
shacks did quite well on the new
hill, heavy structures were really
too much for the shifty soil. The
Church of Notre Dame de Bonnie
Nouvelle is now one of the few stone
structures still standing. The 9TH
ers have been RACED or have fallen
down.
Several years ago, at the instiga-
ton of the BeauX Arts, the tower of
Bonne-Nouvelle was stabilized by a
compromising arrangement in it's
basement, but it still leans. 1t is not
is feet out of line, as is the Tower of
Pisa. Nor has it the glamor of the
imperial leaning Bottle Pagoda of
Pei-Hui in Peiping. But at least
Paris can compete with the towers
of Ems, Asinelli, Ulm, st. Moritz,
and Garisenda when it comes to of
fering groggy buildings to sight

FrCstburg College Summer Term
TO Open On June p

The State Teachers College at
Frostburg will open its summer term

to high school graduates and to
teachers in the service a splendid OPP
portmity to increase their qualifica-
lions for larger service to themselves

accelerated program that makes it
