WINDOW WASHING

Chicago, Dec 17.-Practically ali
the windows of Chicago's skyscrapers
are cleaned by small body of men
325-who are members of the Chicago
Window Washers Union. according to
William McDade, business agent for
the organization. The men work on a
weekly basis, eight hours constituting
a days Work. When conditions make
outside work impossible, the men are
employed on the inside.
The contract fer cleaning the win
dows is given to contracting compan-
les. These companies bid on the work
and when the bids are accepted they
furnish the men from the union. They
also furnish all materials used in
washing the windows, such as work
ing harness for the washers, pals,
sponges, ehamois. ETC. In fact they
supply everything except the water

also have done much to safeguard the

SAINT TO HAVE NEW SHRINE
Mining Operations in Cuba Caused Col
lapse of Church of the Virgin
of Cobre.

Without papal sanction, the Virgin
of Cobre became the patron saint of
Cuba. Harry A. Franck relates in the
Century Magazine The legend of 300
years ago which tells of how two men
and a negro slave boy from the vii
lage of Cobre, not far from Santiago,
went to Nipe bay to gather salt, and
there they found floating on the water
an image of the Virgin, bearing the
Child on one arm and holding alOft
gold cross.
The figure is of wood. about 10
inches high, and gaudily decorated
with the silks and jewels always civ
en- by the pious believers. Her priest
~ attendants have been richly shower
ed with worldly gifts. and her shrine
was surrounded with costly yotfye of
ferings, until someone ran away with
most of them about the time Spanish
rule in Cuba was abolished.
Some time ago copper was discov-
cred in the hill beneath the figure of
the Virgin of Cobre An English COM
pany contracted to make good any
damage their mining operations
| might cause to the venerated shrine.
During their tenure the church suffer
| ed no in Jury. and the mine was. worked
| to what was considered the. limit of
| its real produetivenes's, under old meth

| But when the world conflict sudden
| ly made copper worth increased exer-
ton, Cobre was taken over by an. Amer
lean syndicate. The mine had; mean
while filed with water. and when the
new company began pumping this out,
the old supporting tinbers gave. way
and the church of the Virgin$ above
began to sink until, in fine, 1t fell
completely out of sight. A new shrine
like the spireless and uninspiring coun-
try churches to be found throughout
all Cuba, was erected for the Virgin
and her pilgrims farther down the
valley.

MODEL BOYS CLUB IN
NEW YORK's EAST SIDE


New York, Dec. I6.-For ten cents
q year and uD, 1000 boys Of New
1ork,s East Side enjoy all the fun
facilities that a seven story club house
can provide. They are members of
The Boys Club. 1t is the largest o..
ganization Of its type in the world,
devoted solely to furnishing whole
some recreation to the youths of the
congested tenement district which sur
rounds it.
Any youngster in that part of the
metropolis can be member, if he is
between and II years old Annual
dues are paid according to heights,
beginning with a modest dime for
those under four feet. four inches, and
growing with the boy himself.
The club has taught the East Side
gamins how to be happy though clean
by providing a. big swimming pool.
Fringed around it are gymnasium
game, rooms billiard parIors and
above, six more floors devoted to club
rooms and other amusement areas.
Within the Boys Club itself there are
80 separate clubs. each with adults as
leaders. Two-thirds of these leaders
were army officers during the war.
Dividing popularity honors with the
swimming pool is lunch room where
a cup of cocoa sells for penny and
cookies to go with it for a similar
sum. Pretzel peddlers and hand
organ virtuosos steer clear of the
reighborhood of the club. for the boys
have their own eats and own music
making instruments.
In the daytime there frequently are
