FURTHERLEANING
Foundations of Famous
Monument Strengthened
by Application of Liquid
Cement With Syringes
PI8A. Italy (UP) Strengthening
of the foundations of the Leaning
Tower of Plu which have boon car
ried out In ercat secrecy for several
months will protect the famous
monument for many years to come,
It was learned today.
Recent surveys showed that the
tower has leaned 4 30 meters out of
perpendicular and has been bendlin
at the rate of approximately one
mlllmeter a year.
Cement Injertlons.
Ennlneers have been Injecting mix
tures of liquid cement, stone and
marble Into the tower s foundations.
These Injections are carried out
under around and are made with
powerful syringes.
The . liquid mixture, which fills
rrevlccs. solidifies quickly and work
men are unable to chip it with
chisels.
Many hundreds of liquid cement
"shots" have been Injected, most
of them under the south side toward
which the tower leans.
The present secreey surrounds the
work so the ministry of public
works has been relieved of receiving
thousands of letters and telegrams
suggesting wayB to Insure the towor's
permanence.
Noise I.Ike Hind.
While no workmen are seen around
the tower tho strange sounds of the
syringes, which creates noises simi
lar to the wind In a storm may be
heard.
' Engineers have found the general
condition of the tower to be good,
despite Its 791 years. The monument
Is an elght-story bell tower. 188 feet
In height. It was constructed during
three perlcds. During the first stage
only the ground floor and first three
galleries were built.
Following construction, which en
gineers and architects have agreed
was of strictly perpendicular design,
the ground at the base began to
move so that the tower leans to the
south. In addition to this elements
of nature, surh as rain, wind, sun
and cold have played their part In
ran!nr: the tower to lean.

TO STATE OF BUSINESS

menaurlng end estimating the status
of business. Wall Street may buy
or sell stock on the strength of re
ports dealing with steel tonnage.
enr loadings and kilowatt hours and
economists may base their prognosti
cations upon the ups and downs ol
retail trade curves, but Sardine
creek Is content to JudRe conditions
In the outside world by Its own
barometer, the House of Mystery.
When business Is poor, the num
ber of tourists who wend their way
up the creek rond to solve the mys
teries of tho queer shanty that once
served as the nnsny office of the
Gray Eagle mine registers s decline.
When business picks up. so does the
number of visitors to the house show
an Increase.
It Is a good barometer, the House
of Mystery, say the local residents.
They (eel encouraged, therefore, with
the report of John Lttster. owner of
the tourist attraction, that business

about 50 per cent ahead of what it
was a year ago.
IS
BUILT BY JEWELER
YORK. Neb. (UP) A tiny electric
motor, no larger than fly and
weighing but a quarter of an ounce,
has been built by Emanual Kahm.
Jeweler here. It Is said to be the
smallest motor In the world.
Many of the motor's 68 parts are
constructed of U karat gold. It at
tains a speed of between 400 and 500
revolutions per second snd runs
long without overheating. The parts
are held together by 10 screws, the
largest of which has 320 threads to
the Inch.
So small ara the parts that Kahm
used a magnifying glitss when con
structing It. It Is operated from a
three-volt battery and generates suf
ficient power to drive a larger de
vice used to Indicate the motor'a
speed. The pulley belt Is made of
one-third of a strand of No, 00 cot
ton thread.
MOSCOW (UP) A "safety strato
stat" which. If falling too rapidly,
can be converted Into an enormous
parachute, is now under construc
tion here and will, If present plans
mature, make its first ascent this
summer.
Tills new giant balloon Is expected
to circumvent the danger of too-
rapid descent, which resulted In the
death In 1094 of three Soviet scien
tlste, crew of the stratostat after
Oaokiakhlm-Syrus which crashed af
ter reaching an attitude of 22 kilo-
meters.
Models Tested
Several models of the new "safety
stratostat" have been tested already
by the Society for Aviation and
Chemical Defense and the Society of
Scientific and Technical Aviation En
gineers, which are building the lam
er bag. The tests were said to be sat
isfactory In that they demonstrate.1
the feasibility of a bag which auto
matically could be converted Into a
parachute.
In the demonstration tests two
models, each having a gas capacity
of 10 cubic meters, were taken aloft
by other balloons, They were releas
ed with varying amounts of gas 'n
them. In one Instance there was vir
tually no gas. The models naturally
did not carry a crew, but the appa
ratus which converted them Into a
parachut worked automatically and
in each ease they descended slowly
enough for a safe landing.
Secondary t'lirnchute
The LL-1, as the new safety model
1 on will not plunee to earh
even though Its fabric is torn This
possible danger will be met by a
secondary parachute mounted with
in the larger bag which can be open
ed If necessary.
The LL-1 will not require the con
siderable amount of ballast usually
carried In stratosUits, but on'y
enough to break the speed of descent
before landing.

DUBONNET RED CRAZE
NEW YORK. (UP) -Dubonnet now
Is a fashion color. It was launched
here recently and virtually overnight
women and men became Dubonnet
minded. Lunching places, once alive
with women attired In all the colors
of the rainbow, now have become
filled with this glowing, deep red. At
nlRht. the theaters, restaurants and
dancing rendezvous, which once re
flected the brilliance of the cay
White Way. now are Just "Dubonnet
Red."
Instead of being monotonous, how
ever, this fad has becoma amusing.
Women with a talent for fashion or-
iglnalty vie with each other In Its
expression. The climax of the fad
will be reached short ly. when tho
men appear In Dubonnet shirts and
gloves. They already have been seen
In Dubonnet hats, ties and socks.
