L All John Gerien wants is a job that's safe.
He tried out two jobs, but they were too hazardous. Old
Lady Adventure stepped in and spoiled both of them for
Now he's working at the safest job there is. That's
what John thinks. Well, after seeing what happened to him
on his other jobs, maybe he's right in his own case. Any
way, let's get on with the story and see how he made out
with his first two.
In the beginning John wasn't worried about safety. He hadn't even
started thinking about it when he signed up in the year 1917 to learn
tn trade of ionworker. He worked at that until the summer Of 1922
and that year found him roaming around o. the gaunt, iron framework
OF a skyscraper in Newark, N. J.
Plunged From Fourteenth Floor.
John was o n the fourteenth floor Of that building. From where
he stood he could look down clear to the cellar and e nothing
but the large board that stuck out from each foor-boards that
were there to set kegs of riets on. He was looking at those
boards just a few minutes before lunch time. Then the whistle
blew and all hands ran for the lift to get down to the earth and
eat.
John a just a bit too fast this time. He missed his stem
and plunged the side.
Down he went. AT the thirteenth floor he passed n of those orc
tudlng boards. A large nail sticking out from the end of it caught him
