CHICAGO TOWER
CAN RESIST A
HURRICANE
BY international News Service
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Wind pres

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Wind pres.
sure, as great as that of the recent
devastating West Indian hurricane,
would produce less than one-tenth
of an inch sway in each of the
rs stories of the Chicago Tower.
which when completed will be the
worlds tallest building, according
to a mathematical study which has
been made. Napoleon Picard, pres
ident of the corporation which Is
building the new skyscraper, has
announced.
The new methods in skyscraper
construction used in the Chicago
Tower insure a maximum of com.
fort to tenants and resistance to
high wind pressure. Picard said. To
carry out these plans one-seventh
of the $4,000 tons of structural steel
used in the building will be devoted
to bracing.
Fear of Winds
When the Chicago Tower was
projected it became necessary to
devise new means for overcoming
the dangers of wind pressure. The
Woolworth Building. at present the
tallest building in the world, has been
built for Is years and later principle
OF engineers, have since come into
use.
However. the structural formulas
used in the Woolworth Building
were taken as basis for comput-
ing the construction requirements
hSahnVs h11f1dfnpy
An S0-miIe wind, according to
the United States Weather Bureau
develops a pressure of 25.6 pounds
per square foot and skyscrapers
must be constructed to afford re-
sistance considerably greater than
this for margin Of safety.
Mathematical calculation shows
that under the stress of an So
mile wind the theoretical DETECTION
in a building similar in construc-
ton to the Woolworth Building
would be II tnches--a total vfbra-
lion aptitude, or sway, Of 1874
inches. A study was made for the
Chicago Tower to endeavor to re
Guce this horizontal movement.
IS Stories High
Architectural engineers determined
tiiat diminishing the space between
columns and a reduction OF the
free length of columns enable the
erection of high structures with
a maximum OF vibration and =
maximum OF wind resistance.
Therefore the designs OF the Chi.
cago Tower have been worked out
on a basis OF diagonal bracing SO
extensive as to reduce the free
length of the column to zero.
Columns and brackets in the first
25 stories of the Chicago Tower
have been planned so as to reduce
DETECTION in this portion OF the
building TO practically zero.
In the remaining so stories diago-
nal braces and brackets have been
distributed in such positions as to
reduce the DETECTION in the tower,
under extreme wind pressure to Az
inches, or a total horizontal move
Inent of 3 inches. This means
sway OF less than one-tenth of ali
inch per floor, Picard said.

After a chance meeting with

These huge caves" DIR. Renaud
said, were reached after a strenu-

OFFICIALS EXPLAIN
STREET CAR CRASH
Due to One Car Following
Closely Upon Another, Cap
itaI Traction View.

The street car collision at MaSsa-
chusetts avenue and North Capitol
street yesterday. which resulted in in
jury to score of passengers, was prob
ably caused, representatives of the
Capital Traction Co. said today, by
another car following too closely behind
the one which swung off the proper
track and crashed into westbound car
of the Washington Railway 81 Electric
Co..
Investigators for the company found
no mechanical defect in the switch and
learned from the motorman of the
Capital Traction car that the switch
was set properly when he started across
the intersection.
These facts led the investigators to
conclude that second eastbound car
passed over the electrical contact point,
which throws the switch. before the
car figuring in the accident had cleared
the intersection. 1t is entirely possible,
it was said, that the motorman of the
first car might not have known that
the switch had been thrown into the
wrong position by the car following his.
A Capital Traction car was headed
east and car of the other company
was going west at the intersection.
The eastbound car swung north at the
switch instead of going straight ahead
