The man who rents an Office In one
bf the large buildings Of Chicago pays
as much attention to the man who
washes his windows as he pays to the
charlady who scrubs his floors. In
both cases he notices them only to
wonder that they can put in SO much
dime and achieve SO little. The win
dow washer, however, Is worth some
study. Like the wild duck, he lives a
hfe of peril and harship and when he
rails, as general thing, he falls a
good deal further. Chicago is a town
or high structures and strong winds
and bitter weather and the proportion
OF accidents among the men who clean
its windows is large. 1t is SO large, in
fact, that more than once a move has
been started to obtain State legislation
looking to the enforced protection of
the artists of the soap and rubber
broom
All of the window washers do not
fall at once, so the public gives no heed
to the number of fatalities among
them. II is fact, however, that more
than 400 men lost their lives by falling
from window lodges in the United
States last year. OF these casualties
Chicago furnished its share. Indeed,
It Is Iare week which passes without

these cases the window washer wisely
postpones his work and the man who
rents the offices goes down and swears
at the janitor. Fifty miles an hour is

There are various safety devices, but
the steel. or iron, bar is the most COM
mon. Sometimes the bar breaks: some
times the socket breaks; sometimes the
screw breaks. 1t all amounts to a
cheap funeral in the end. One of the
best Of the guards is a wide heavy belt
of webbing or leather, which spasses
about the mans middle. 1t has a ste.

this staple a strong rope is passed and
hooked to each side Of the window. If
a man slips while wearing the belt he

with which they are furnished. The
steel bar crossing the small of the back
is. in bad weather, but little better
than no protection at all, yet they ac-

big city will do a good deal for per-

when asked about 1t, that nearly every
death among them is traceable to the
carelessness of the workman. 1t is not
often that one Of the safety devices

that he cannot fall. When he reaches
