A reporter for The Chicago Journal men,
tons an incident which viii probably explain
TO many readers the meaning Of something
they have probably many times seen without
ever thinking to ask for an explanation.
While passing along Dearborn street yes
terday l saw a crowd watching tao placing
in position of some enormous panes of glass
in handsome new building. TIE glass was
the best French plate, and the workmeu ham
died it as carefully as if it were worth some
thing more than a weeks wages. The task
of putting it in place was no sooner com,
pleted than one of the workmen grabbed a
pot Of whiting and with big brush daubed
a lot of meaningless marks on it,
l thought it about as silly a thing as a man
could do, and with the usual curiosity of a
reporter, asked the foreman why he al
lowed it,
"Why,n said he, 1--WE have to mark them
that way or they'd be smashed in no time"
My look of amazement doubtless prompted
him to further explanation, for he said: You
see the workmen around a new building get
in the custom of showing lumber, etc.
through the open sash before the glass is put
in. They would continue to do it even after
the glass is in if we didn't do something to
attract their attention. That's the reason
you always see new windows daubed with
glaring white marks. Even Ct a careless
workman does start to shove a stick Of timber
through costly plate of glass, he viii stop
short when his eye catches the danger sign.
That white mark is just a signal which saysI
Look out; you'll break me if you are not
