New York hat accepted the plan
CPthunaktieally. In (act, the city't
renter have already tried to get in
on the ground floor. The insurance
company report it ha about 150
request! for apartment and ground
nas not even been broken.
Construction to Be Rapid.
Speed in construction is the key
note. The preferential list is made
up of union workers who have protn
sied to give a day's work free on
the buildings in return for the chance
to get an apartment.
The group which is to he started
now will cost about $6,000,000. If
it is a success, if it .makes an in
road in the problem, the insurance
company stands ready to spend about
$100,000,000 and to keep the prirea
of homes at the - lowest possible
rate.
Claims Largest Population.
New York, indeed, is in need of
more homes, for the city ' has re
newed its contest with London for
world supremacy. Dr. Walter Laid
law, executive secretary of the New
York city census committee, has
figures to prove that if the same
radius were used in both cases, New
York would have 344,508 more
souls in the greater city than Lon
don.
Dr. Laidlaw includes territory
within 19 miles of city hall and thu3
gets Newark, Jersey City and Ho-
boken into his tables. 1 he popula
tion in Greater London on June 19,
1921, was 7,476,168, while that of
what the doctor terms "largest New
York, was 7,820,676 on January 1,
1920.

The Opening of the World Theater
To those who are concerned in all things
that come to Omaha to contribute to its
growth and fame among cities, the opening of
the new World Theater this week has been a
source of pride and pleasure. The beauty and
' dignity of the surroundings in every way con
vey the impression that it is to be a worthy
home for high class and pleasurable entertain
ment. ,
If you visited the World Theater during the
opening week, you have had an opportunity
to see something of the decorating capacity of
several departments in this store.
All of the -gorgeous tunjuoise blue and gold
hangings, the magnificent velvet stage curtain
with its heavy gold fringes and huge tassels,
were made in the worki'Jom of our Drapery
Department on the Sixth Floor. In fact, all
of the draperies throughout the theater, in
cluding the lounge and charming rest rooms,
were designed and made by our Drapery De
partment. The thick, soft-textured velvet carpets, in
harmonizing shades of blue ' and gold, were
furnished by our Carpet Department on the
Sixth Floor.
The richly upholstered davenports
and overstuffed chairs in the
promenade lounge and each of the
smaller rooms are from our new
Furnituije Department on the Sev-
enth Floor.
The Brandeis Store is proud to
have been able to contribute in
these ways to the beauty of this
splendid new playhouse.
