" EIFFEL TOWER 40 " HTLEADS ARD St Tallst in World—Aaniver- - sary Exercises Planned Paris, April 30 (UP)—The Eiffel Tower has reached middle age but it still holds itself proudly erect as the highest structure in the world Geapife the ever-increasing height of sky-scrapers in America. Parislans are planning to com- memerate its 40th anniversary this year by placing a memorial to Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, its con- structer,: under the north side of this straddling four-legged colossus of steel. This memorial will be 4 bust executed by the famous French sculptor, Emile Antoine Bourdelle, and will be unveiled in the course of the year with impres- sive ceremonies, the exact date not yst having been fixed. Eiffel bullt his imposing monu- ment with its 25,000,000 rivets hold- ing together 1,500,000 pieces of met- al in 14 months, driving home the 3ut rivet seven days before the open- ing of the Universal Exposition of 1889, Despite the protests against the construction of what was then Jermed by many: writers a useless #nd ugly metal tower, he started the work in 1887 and fi d on March 30, 1889. Two days later, in the pres- ence of several hundred French of- ficials and their wives, M. Eiffel hoisted the French flag over his ‘newly cémpleted master-plece. 21 Buns were fired ana flre.wwkl were tet off from the top. Used for Broadoasting In connection with the ¢0th anni- versary of the Tour Eiffel, as it is called in French, many engineer- Ing and architectural experts point out that although this marked one of the first pioneer attempts in the _world to erect high atructures and evisaged the principle of the steel- frame of the sky-scraper, neverthe- Jess the highest buildings in France seldom exceed eight stories while in America the principle of the Eiffel /Tower has been consummated in gi- gantic buildings with more than 60 Stories. The criticism that the Eiffel Tow- #r would be useless has been con- clusively refuted during the past few years by making it the leading radio broadcasting station of the country. This latest utility now forms a stum- bling block Lo the ever-recurring cry that the tower should be demolished. 1t is also utilized as an astronomical ebservatory. Another usage made of the struc- ture recently has been that of {llum. inated advertising at night. From practically all parts of Paris, the tallest electric advertising sign in the world, can be seen every night {lashing forth in huge colored letters the name of a French automobile, amidst an embroidery of intricate lighting. Attracts Tourists ' The tower continues to be one of the most interesting features of Paris and attracts American tour- fsts by the thousands every week Quring the summer months. For $he price of a few francs one of the Mmost beautiful panoramas of Paris can be seen from any of its land- ngs. Although the world knows Eiffel by this work alone, it is not the only monument which he has left to his memory. Born in Dijon in 1832, he Suined wide reputation as the eon- structor of metal bridg: He then designed the immense sluice gates for the Panama Canal while its con- struction was under French super- vision. He was also connected with & large number of engineering works made in France during his life. He gled in 1923, The Eiffel Tower {s 984 feet in height. exceeding the Woolworth building by more than 234 feet. The Washington Mopument is 555 feet high, the Great Pyramid 450 feet and St. Paul's Cathedral in London 365 feet. One of the interesting facts 8bout the tower is that it has a swing of five feet, bowing ever so arrogant- 1y before a heavy wind. BACK OF. MEXIGAN REVOLT 15 BROKEN (Continued from Tirst Page) some charges against me, but I will s00n be free.” Polk added another reason why he and Murphy had crossed. “We @id not want to be lined up in front of an adobe wall.” Promise Law Enforcement Mezxico City, April 30 P — EI Universal said today Marte R. Go- Mmez, minister of agriculture, in a speech yesterday at Santa Cruz Oc- cllan, Mexico, promised to speed up toe application of Mexican Agrarian laws without reference to the nation- ality of the landowners affected. El Universal's story said Gomes denied the government had dis- criminated in behalf of American land owners, and declared: ‘“The Mexican Agrarian laws will be ap. plied without distinction to all per. song living in Mexican territory, whatever their nationality.” Gomez then declared all possible speed would be made in extending the government's Agrarian policy to all parts of the country and that tnere would be no negotiations with land owners, for these would retard the movement. Even certain legal barriers, he said. would be disre- garded, well as previous presi- dential decrees which might slow up the government’s plans. “As our aim is to satisfy the need and not sentiment,” he was quoted as saying, “‘all means within the gov- ernment’s power will be called upon to put the policy into nationwide ef. fect.” The Agrarian laws long have been part of the Mexican constitution. They provide that every town and village must have its communal land and in cases where this does not exist an appropriate extension of the adfacent land is 1o be taken over and covered to communal uses. Inasmuch as almost all the large haciendas have villages, although sometimes they are merely groups of peons’ homes within their con- fines, they would be almost sure to be affected in any extension of the laws. Many of ti baciendas in northern Mexico are of American ownership. Enforcement of the laws received its first impetus under the Obregon regime. Then former President Calles strove to put them into ef- fect. Loyalty of the Agrarians to the government during the present revolt was believed here to be part- ly responsible for their being stressed Just at this time. No Arms From Germany Berlin, April 30 UM—Reports from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, that Mexican rebels had said they were recelving arms and munitions from Germany were characterized by government officials today as “a mad idea." “The story is completely untrue,” they said. City Plans to Order Curbs On Shuttle Meadow Ave. Transmitting to City Engineer P. A. Merian some of the numerous complaints that have been made to him on account of the condition of Bhuttle Meadow avenue, Alderman David L. Nair of the first ward learned today that it is the plan of the board of public works to obtain authority from the common council at the May meeting, if possible, to have curbs installed on the avenue. With the installation of curbs, it is proposed to dig up the roadway and put in a stone base with a dur. able surface, using the material from the avenue to fill in holes on side streets nearby. In the meantime, however, the worst holes on the avenue will be filled in for tempor- ary relief from the conditions which motorists -and others have com- plained of.

Trace- Ki: For the plaintifft by default, for $52 in the matter of George Great- orex against Bessic Gray on a bal- ance’for a voofing job done on Grove Hill avenue property. Attorney L. 8.
