IV Are You Thrifty? " Read What Si Brings VjJ Ii Caught by Falling Window. But is Rescued After Losing Consciousness. BE IS BUSHED TO HOSPITAL Frantically clutching the air with his hands, while his little head was firmly wedged between a window and its base, Albert Wilson. 3-year-old ion of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Wilson, Forty-third and 0 streets, South Side, slowly lapsed into unconsciousness yesterday shortly after 10 o'clock. While playing with his little sister in the window sill, the window sash sud denly lowered catching his neck in its fall directly at the base of the chin. The cries of the strangled child at tracted Mrs. Gladys Wells, next door neighbor, who rushed to the scene nnJ held the lower part of the body on a level with the head until other aid came and the window was raised. j- -n I VUlli MLlClliUk WOO IIIMUV IV Vn doctor but none proved available. The police were called and Chauffeur Joe Baughman rushed out in the emerg ency car with Dr. J. J. Humpal. The latter administered medicine to lessen the pain and ordered the child to the South Side hospital. Mrs. Wilson, mother of the child, was working in a field a few hundred yards away. She was a witness to the desperate circumstances of her child and immediately came to its aid. At the hospital Dr. A. A- Frlcke as sumed responsibility of the case. An X-ray examination will be taken. Wilson is a packing house workman. Work Continues on Practically All Big Jobs in the City Building activities continue yes terday on the various big jobs in the city, with the building laborers at work, and the strike apparently pretty jnurh of a thing of the past. Work is to bt-gin again on the Uni versity of Nebraska State hospital at Forty-second and Dewey avenue Monday. V. Ray Gould is the con tractor on this job, which is practic ally the only one on which work has not been resumed. The building laborers have aban doned their headquarters at Wash ington hall, where they held frequent meetings during the strike. The bricklayers and other build ing tradesmen are said to be largely responsible for the men returning to work, as the tradesmen began to in sist they had been idle long enough. Carpenters, during the last week, bricklayers and others, were often heard to deplore the fact that they were being kept out of work through strike when they themselves were making no demands and were willing to work. It is said these allied build ing tradesmen brought pressure to bear on the laborers to get them to ro back to work last .Monday, even though not all of their demands had been met Council Declares Flag Day Shall Be Official Holiday By resolution the city council de clared June 14, Flag day, an official holiday and appointed Commissioner Jardine as marshal of the city em ployes who are expected to join the parade. Of a total of 1,500 city employes the mayor said fie expected not less than 1,200 in this demonstration. He has requested all city employes to par ticipate.

Reeves, member of a nonunion brass band, against the city of Omaha and the seven commis sioners, in protest against the reso lution recently passed which gives union bands the exclusive privilege of playing during the summer. Reeves says there are 160 nonunion players who are skilled musicians, and these are taxpayers and citizens 'of Omaha. He demands a court order preventing the city commissioners from keeping these citizens and him self from employment in the city parks. "The $.1,000 fund from which the hands are paid is the people's money. Everybody in Omaha is not a mem ber of a union. The city commission ers have no right to discriminate," de clared Reeves. The resolution passed is :n the form of an order from the commission to the park superintendent, preventing the employment of any but union bauds for public concerts in the city parks.

This is impossible. In spite of the enormous printing which we hod arranged for ' . (which made it possible for us to sell the complete new unabridged Eleventh Edition of the Britannica, in a small-page form, at one-third the price of the larger-page Cambridge University issue) the issue has been taken so rapidly that only a small number of sets now remain and we cannot secure any more at anything like present prices. For such further sets as we shall be able to obtain we shall have to in crease the price by $11 per set for the cheaper bindings to 119 per set for the more expensive bindings (and there la no telling how long even these prices can be main tained). We wish to give the public full warning. More than 200,000 persons have written us to ask for our large Illustrated 130-page descriptive book about the Encyclopaedia Britannica and the new "Handy Volume" Issue. This means that a tremendous number will come rushing in at the last minute. We send the entire 29 volumes upon the payment of a single dollar. Then you have three weeks with the books in your own home to make up your mind they are Just what you want (See our unconditional guarantee.) But only ten day remain ten working days. On Juno 17th at 7.33 p. m. our offer Is closed. Any order postmarked beore that day, date and hour, we will endeavor to fill if possible, though we cannot guarantee any particular style of binding unless your order It sent immediately.
