TEST SHOWS LACK
OF BUILDING SWAY
Virtually Eliminated From
New Buildings in Gotham,
Report Reveals.

Reports that many of New York's
skyscraperS sway in a strong wind led
recently to an investigation which re-
suited in a report that increased
knowledge of the use of Withdrawing
has eliminated all but microscopic sway
from virtually all tall buildings erected
in Greater New York during the past 10
or Is years."
According to Irwin S. Chanin. head
of the Chanin Construction Co. of
New York. who supervised the inveSti-
CATION, most buildings in New York
have been erected with super caution
and with ample provision for safe
guarding.
Study Rock Structure.
The text of the Chanin report read,
in part, as follows:
Since even a steel building is no
firmer than its foundations, it is Gus
tomary in the erection of most large
buildings to make elaborate studies of
the rock structure underlying the site"
said Mr.. Chanin. THE first tests are
made to reveal something of the nature
of the rock to be encountered in ex-
cavation and because of previous build
ing in the neighborhood give the build
ers a general idea of the geologic struc-
ture underlying the site. When excava-
ton is completed, or virtually COM
pleted, elaborate core boring is done
At the Chanin Building the core drills

were sent down for a depth Of about so
feet below the lowest point OF excava-
ton. The rock taken from these bor-
ings was studied by all engineers and
then was filed away as a part Of the
geological record of Manhattan Island.
indicated that 1t stands on a granite
ledge that is literally the backbone OF
the island.
Another point Of control for the
safety of a building is in the footings.
Below the level Of general excavation
holes approximately 10 feet square are
dug further into the rock. These holes
are sent down until solid rock struc-
ture is reached. Then they are filled
the steel grillages, which in turn sup
port the columns. Obviously these
footings, because of their tremendous
weight, must rest on solid rock and
such is their Importance that it is a
control point for inspection by the
building department as we'll as the
building engineers. At the Chanin
Building the rule was that inspections
of each footing was made by the
Chanin engineers, the structural en-
gineers and the consulting engineers,
as well as the representative Of the
building department. Instead of agree
ing to a majority opinion on each foot
ing, the adverse opinion of one indi-
vidual was held sufficient, in the in
terests Of safety, to justify the
additional expenditure Of thousands Of
dollars in sinking the footing to a rock
structure which he was finally willing
to approve.
Rightly Most Essential.
."Since rigidity is the quality most
essential in a steel-frame structure,
many tests are made during the erec-
ton of a skyscraper to make certain
that the building is proof against sway
from any cause whatsoever. AS a
building rises and before its steel frame
has received the additional bracing
which results from the pouring Of the
concrete arches and floors, the steel is
carefully watched when the derrick,
used to hoist the columns and beams,
is in operation.
A steel derrick, which has compare

lively small base, rests directly upon
planks in turn supported by the beams
Of the topmost floor. When in place,
the derrick Is guyed with steel cables to
beams and Orders. with the result that
any movement of the steel already
erected can be detected with spirit
levels placed on the beams at the time
the derrick is straining under load Of
twenty or thirty tons of material. An
other point for safety control in the
erection Of a building is in constant
inspection and analysis of the concrete

closed and the windows are in place, it
is customary to verify the supposed
absence Of sway during a high wind
storm. Tests are made in a variety of
ways. One method Is to suspend a
plumb bob from a ceiling as high In
the building as possible. The tip of
the plumb bob is permitted to rest in

Henry VIII Did Much
to Advance Charm
of English Homes

To Henry VIII we owe much
Of the charm of the English home
of today. Before his reign the
Norman architecture, for all its
grandeur with flying arches, tur-
retS and tall ascending growths,
Gothic loaded windows and pan
eled walls, was lacking in the
comforts and graces that would
prevent it from being austere.
The English monarch combed
all Europe taking the best from
each country, combing the grace
full italian iron grill work, the
deliberately decorated ceilings and
beautiful draperies Of France and
various features from other ma
tons to make up what we now
look upon as typical English
architecture.
The mobiles of the realm were
quick to follow suit and a new
mode was established.

conducted at the Chanin Building dur
ing windstorms and showed a complete
absence of sway.

water sobbed to be home In the sea.
Steadily old Salmon had rubbed his line
across the iron edge Of the timber. He saw
one strand of the line part and fray out, then
another.
Out in the channel, the Helpeth swung
around, her sails half set. the bow circling
toward the churning bar at the rivers mouth.
Under the wharf the fun current Of the tide
took up its now.
Old Salmon's line pulled away. The spoons
and the weight below caught the drift and the

end sucked away on the irresistible ebbing

From the Helspeth old Salmon heard faint
hail.

1t was with genuine mother pang that Ina
finally agreed to this. her consolation lying in
the fact that in so doing she was convinced
that the greater good Of her child lay In her
heart And so It was. Certainly the SUISSE

home Of her father, and even after he had
married again and introduced a stepmother
into that home, was safer sounder one than
any Ina would have been able TO provide for
her In the years TO come.
To Paris Ina went, living there for three
years on the left bank Of the Seine, enjoying its
camaraderie; carrying on the loose, pleasant
vagabond life of the studios, working little,

conlplishing not so much. Then there were
months Of the easy-come, easy-go life along the

When they were in the boats, Capt. Matt

The blaze at the This-Is-It was dying down
as the boats pulled away Old Salmon went
back to the vicinity Of the FIRE. Here he heard
and felt stirring. A man close TO him voiced
it: Long Toms disappeared"
Old Salmon remained until he found that
Long Toms ONCE had escaped the FIRE. Blood
had been discovered on the floor. The trap
door over the tide was open.
The disappearance Of Long Tom stirred

hours the town buzzed.
At noon the tide was near its food The jade

the ramshackle brothels Of Swell Town.
At the wharf end old Salmon dropped his
line with It's glittering spoons. The lure
whipped away on the current. Along the
wharf had gathered some Of the habitues Of
Swell Town. The tongue Of gossip dealt with
the vanishing Of Long Tom As mysterious q
disappearance as even mysterious Swell Town
had ever known.

The tide was 1t flood. For . few minutes

Then It wOuld begin its rush back to the

Old Salmon pulled tentatively on his troll
line. The line came In, but weight dragged
at the end. For . moment old Salmon thought
he had hooked q dOghsh or possibly giant
ling cod, these being sluggish fighters. Several
bystanders watched him expectantly
Between the ttmbers at his feet old salmon
could view the catch that rolled 70 the surface.

But In the end it became apparent, even to
the rebellious Ina herself, that the kind of life

was not the ideal one in which to rear child.
It was here that Tom Mullins saw his adj

In her own eyes at least, Ina became a sort
Of beloved vagabond. She painted great DEAL
mostly where little art colonies were foregath-
cred, but somehow, after the first fash in the
pan Of her talent, further accomplishment did
not come out of the hit-and-miss existence 1t
pleased her to follow. Bohemia took too much
of her time Arty folk cluttered up what should
have been work-a-day hours. 1t was pleas
anter to sit in studio discussing art than to sit
in studio INDUCING IN art.
And so the years marched on, . good many
of them, before Ina began to experience her
first pangs of realizations. The first realiza-
lions were that the world of her Bohemia was
a shifting one. why, IN the 10 years since she
had been living here and there, faces had come
and faces had gone. Young students had
flashed into the scene and then somehow had
drifted out Of the scene. A few Of them had
gone on to accomplishment and fame. But
most Of them, in fact the appalling majority
Of them, had just dropped out Constantly Ina
was receiving letters from erstwhile friends;
art students who had come to Paris from IN
DIANA Sussex, Brittany, sicily and had drifted
back home again. there to settle down TO COM

It seemed to Ina, looking back, that 90 per

dabbled q bit and had returned to the staider
products of business, marriage and home life.
