Belinda means "a serpent" So beware,
young men, of the baby doll who an

name.
How Belinda came to be evolved is
not clear to etymologists. She simply

He is sure to complain if he notices it.
| consider these things important.
They are part of the obligation we
assume when we rent tenant space
in the building.
The biggest crank in the build
ing is a professional investigator" /"
| should say that one in every ten
complaints we get come from him.
Fault-hnding is his business. He gets
large fees for going in and telling
business firms what is wrong with the
way they run their business
We'll, then, when he complains
to you he is really giving you some of
the benefits of his service l sug-
gested.
Yes, suppose so, if you want to
put it that way said Mr.. Cochran, a
little wearily. But l believe he just
has the fault-fnding habit
The big building is heated by the
steam used to generate power for the
elevators and lights. Heat is on tap
all the time and may be obtained in
any office even in midsummer, by
turning on the radiator. The man.
agement is careful to rent space in
the building only to reliable firms.
A constant watch is kept to see that
no illegitimate business gets in. A
fourth of the tenants are lawyers,
another fourth manufacturers, and
more than two hundred export firms
have Offices there. The account con-
tinueS:
+" Some of these American offices
for foreign firms look the "phoniest"
to an Observer Mr.. Cochran explain
cd. "They rent fine suites and have
good-looking furniture. But little ap-
pears to show for their good "front."
These are, however, perfectly reliable
firms, and they want looking Of
fices to represent their business.
Going back to the business of
complaints, tenants aren't the only
persons with whom we have trouble.
Outsiders are constantly making
claims for damages against us. Some
of these may be honest, but there is
a large class that make a business of
trying to get damages for fake in
juries. Hardly day passes that some
one does not assert that he--or, more
often, she-has slipped or tripped in
some part of the building and been
injured. But l can tell almost as soon
as the person comes into my office
the complaint is genuine y
not.
Here is hint for the person who
intends taking a claim for damages
as result of fall: Get your heels
'traightened. When man or woman
comes in here and claims damages for
a fall, the first thing look at is their
shoes. turnover heels free us from
blame, as rule, for falls and turned
,nkles.

in the lobby is as to where the five
and-ten-cent store is located. AS a
matter of fact, there is no such store
in the building by reason of binding
provision made by Mr.. Woolworth
to that effect. Many visitors, espec-
tally those from the middle west,
wonder what a tornado would do to
the tower. This has never been put
to the test, of course, so nobody
knows. The tower has been built to
withstand hurricane pressure of 100
miles an hour, which is more rapid
breeze than has ever been seen in
New York thus far. Sometimes peo-
pie stand on the other side of the
street when there is high wind to
see if the tower sways. Some say they
see it, but that is probably magma
ton, though the tower does, in fact,
swing four inches out of the perpen-
dicular on each side, or a total of
eight inches. Managing the Wool
worth building is sizable job and is
held down by Edwin A. Cochran.
He has under him a staff of more than
four hundred persons. His most
ticklish task is to keep the tenants of
the four thousand offices in good
humor. Some of the trials and trib-
ulations connected Herewith are re-
lated in an article in the American
Magazine (New York; by Hannah
Mitchell, who reports her conversa-
ton with Mr.. Cochran, in part as
follows:
"It may surprise you to know
that "Blue Monday" is not azure
colored for us, said Mr.. Cochran,
who believes in telling the pleasant
things first. we never have COM
plants on Monday. l suppose the
tenants are so busy with their mail
and getting business started for the
week that they don't have time to
find fault. Tuesday few of them look
around and find something wrong;
and by Friday trouble has reached its
"peak" for the week.
"'The most frequent cause of COM
plant is dirty windows. Some day a
tenant notices that his windows are
dirty, and he scribbles the date on one
of the panes with a pencil. Then,
when the window-washer does ap-
pear, the tenant points to the date and
wakes sarcastic.
Right there the tenant has us
where it hurts. Keeping the windows
Of sky-scraper clean is becoming
big problem. Apparently, the profes-
sion of window-washing is becoming
extinct. The window-washer gets
whatever pay he asks, and names his
own hours, and yet the number de-
steadily. 1t isn't that the lofty
windows of the tower terrify them;
t is the same everywhere. We need
fourteen window-washers to keep the
$500 windows in this building clean;
,ut at present we have only nine, an
.on't know where to get any more.
"'In the beginning every window
n the building was washed at least
,nce week and always after storm.
Now it is all we can do to get them
zone over once in ten days.

nNE of the breeziest places in New
~ York City, as most visitors to

~ York City, as most visitors to
the big town discover, is at the
corner of the 792-foot Woolworth
building. One day the wind wrenched
the hat from the head of a passing
woman and bore it straight up in the
air to the twenty-seventh floor of this
building, where it lodged on ledge
out, of reach. The hat-owner sued
the Woodwork building for the price
OF the inaccessible lid, but lost her
case. This is said to be one of the
queerest claims ever brought against
the building, though there have been
many others almost as odd. Freak
claims are not the only manifestations
of the quirks in human nature seen
about the great office building, how
ever.
In common with other places of
unusual interest, and hence attractive
to sightseers, the Woolworth seems to
inspire in many of its visitors desire
to do something bizarre or out of the
ordinary. Countless persons come
there seeking thrills and notoriety.
Others have gain in mind. Thus we
are told that one day visitor hustled
shaggy little burro into one of the
elevators before any one could pre-
vent it. His idea was to take the
burro to the tower, photograph it
there, and make a fortune selling
postcards showing the little beast
viewing New York from the highest
building in the city. OF course, the
management put a crimp in this daz-
cling plan. The attendants are able
to foil most of the persons with freak
schemes, but sometimes a stunt is
slipped over on them. When the
building was new couple one day
asked permission to be married in the
tower. This was not granted because
it was feared that, if the practise were
started, the Woolworth tower would
become Gretna Green. The couple
were obsessed with the idea of being
married there, however, and later in
the day went up with a party of sight
seers among whom rabbi had been
sneaked in who pronounced the mar
riage service at the top of the tower
before anybody knew what was going
on. That a goodly number of ex-
amples of human freakishness should
show up at this building does not
seem so strange when one learns that
some 375,000 persons visit it every
year, or more than thousand day.
About the only people who get
within hailing distance of the struc-
ture and don't 60 to the top of the
tower are the people who work In the
building itself. All the tenants have
permanent passes to 60 up, but they
hardly ever use them. A register is
kept of all visitors. This shows the

Jumped from the thirteenth floor.
We can't take any precaution against
that in the Offices. In the tower we
have guards to watch the people. And
IN the halls there are always some of
the building force about to inquire
into the motives of strangers whose
actions are suspicious.
1--WE had to stop visitors taking
canes and umbrellas and cameras into
the tower. Invariably these imple-
ments were used to point out places
OF interest, and once in while the
holder would lose his grip on his
pointer and let it fall, to the peril of
persons on the street below. A strange
thing in regard to the canes and UNI
brellas which are checked is that
about Is per cent of them are never
called for.
"'All kinds of things are found
here, from stickpins to articles of
wearing apparel worth thousands of
dollars. These, if>not called for, are
turned in to the building. Other
items which go to the credit of the
building are the waste-paper, worm
out elevator cables, dead electric-light
bulbs, and other things listed as junk
The waste paper is sent to mills to be
made over, and brings revenue of
about $4,000 a year. The old cleo
tric-light bulbs are worth about
$4,000 year, and the elevator cables
and junk from the engine-room
amount to between $4,000 and $18,-
900 year.
Our tenants have occasionally
thrown out some very valuable papers
by accident. In fact, week never
goes by without hunt for Liberty
bonds, deeds to property, or stock
securities, through our waste paper.
These valuables are usually found,
for we keep the waste paper four days
after it is collected, and the tenants
can go down and hunt through it
themselves for lost valuables. We
also have an arrangement with the
people to whom we sell the paper that
they shall sort it and return to us
any valuable papers they find before
lisposing of it.
