Cox of Chicago, federal weather expert testifying for tho defense In a suit In District Judge Estclle's court, In which the owner of the wrecked Idlewlld pool -hall, Twenty fifth and Grant streets, Is suing for fire Insurance, explained the tremendous roar that accompanied the storm as be ing caused by the rushing of a great volume of air In to the vacuum center of tho whirling monster and by Ute break ing and crashing of wreckage. "The nolso was caused," he said, "by the tremendous force of air rushing in to flit a partial vacuum. A tornado Is caused by unusual heat and Increased molsturo at somo particular point In the atmo sphere. The heated lighter air ascends and the air blows In from outside. 'By the movement of tho earth .the storm Is given its rotary movement to the right" According to Prof. Cox the terrifying black cloud that accompanies a tornado Is directly above the whirling winds which wreck all In their path. He ex plained the tornado's freakish acttons n leaving portions of Its path untouched on the ground that there were various district whirls within the funnel with neutral zones between them and that some buildings were bombarded by wreckage carried by the wind while others luckily escaped. No Licenses for New Saloons Will Be Granted This Year An agreement. It Is understood, exists among city commissioners to the effect that no additional saloons will be-licensed In the City next year. There Is a rumor that certain saloonlsts will .not receive a renewal of their licenses for various and obvious reasons and If the protests entered against these Justify the council in refusing a license a new license may be granted for the same location. The city council will sit as an excise board to pass upon applications for licenses to operate saloons next year the latter part of this week or the first of next as the advertisements, for the first applicants will expire Wednesday. No protests have been received thus far against any of the existing saloons, but Gould Diets has filed a protest against the application for a new saloon at ttl I'arnam street and a protest .will later be made against the applicant for another saloon at Twenty-fourth and Lake streets. 1 llorrlblr Death jmay result from diseased lungs.

Wonderland of Toys Z Basement Santa Claus Himself The Jolllest, cleverest friend liest old fellow In the world Is here. Let the children come and seo him.

See the prancing reindeer on the snow covered rqo'f. Third floor. i Toys and Dolls Enough to Delight All the Children in Omaha Christmas In all the west there is not another Toyland like this. So much bigger, so much "brighter, so much more beautifully decorated, so much more complete that no child who has seen it can ever be interested in the ordinary showing,of ordi nary toys. It is the toys the children see here that they will so eagerly look for on Christmas morning. Each year Toyland is a new land of wonderful things. It is filled with new sights, now inventions and new won ders. Every toy is new and every new toy is here. Hundreds of delightful things for boys and girls of every age. Occupying nearly our entire basement, this wonderland is big enough to accommodate the armies of little ones who inyade it every day. Our Toyland is close to the hearts of the children because our drganization is close to the makers of toys in the Old World. Our foreign resident buyer visits the famous toy makers of Europe each season and secures their newest inventions and latest 'novelties, sending them direct to us, sometimes as much as a full year in advance of their general sale in the toy shops of this country. Scores and scores of playthings that you cannot 'find elsewhere. Toys of every kind at every price. Dolls exquisitely dressed, character dolls, baby dolls, mechanical toys, memory-and-mind-buUding games, fascinating diversions for everyone. This is truly Omaha's great Toyland for the children at Christmas time. jk-w mum mEai f Simplex Typewriters Remod eled and enlarged, 3 sizes at 91.00 $4.00 and $3.00 XoUer Skates For hoys and girls, steel heel and too clamps per pair 49o and 980 Rugby root Ball Btondnrd size ....
