This was brought home to them by speeches by some of the members who have children il with t phold fever. Although they did not main- taln that the sickness was due to the un- clean condition of Omaha they that it was time to clean up some of the winter's accumulation of filth. This winter has been especially bad be- cause of the long continued cold and for the length of time during which the snow was permitted to remain on the ground The dealers hope this crusade will lead to good results in having a clean city when spring comes. meeting get New industries were aprung on the com- munity at @ rapld rate during the last week and the record of nearly one a da: is one of which the industrial committee of the Commerclal club {s proud. These will employ a large number of men and will add materfally to the growth of Omaha. Among the transactions of the week was the retirement from business of F. B. Kennard, owner of the Kennard Paint and Glass company. The company was bought by an Omaha syndicate which will build a paint factory in Omaha. A large six-story bullding is to be buflt at Sixteenth and Jackson streets by the Kennedys for the Rosenthals. This is the lot on which the Kennedys refused to ac- cept 75,000 offered by a syndicate headed by J. A. Baum, because the money to bind the bargain was not pald over at the specified time. The building will be acréss the street from the Rome and the new firm will be the largest firm located that far south in the retall district. Al V. Dresher has aniibunced that he will bulld two more garages on Farnam it he can find tenants. One of thess would have a floor space of 5,000 square feet and the other 13,00 square feet. He has ac- quired & ninety-nine-year lease on the property, just west of the Colt Automoblle company’s garage on which he will build to suit tenants. Directly back of this Mr. Dresher has secured & ninety-nine-yea: lease on forty-four feet frontage on Har- ney street on which he will bulld his new up-to-date dry cleaning plant. Mr. Dresher had arranged to locate his new plant on Farnam street near Twentleth, but he s0ld the lease to that property and se- cured the other extending from Harney to Farnam street. The rush for the completion of the new Brandels theater s on and there is every assurance that it will be completed In time for the opening Thursday night. The theater is practically complete, but the work will be to have the entrance com- pleted. A large force of men has been work cleaning up the street for a week. The office bullding of the construction com- pany has been moved away and the pave- ment over the arcade connecting the new bullding with the Brandels building has been completed. “The blizzard of the first part of last week kept outside work at a standstill, but.in spite of this a large force wag kept'at the new Brandels building. Work on other new bulldings was resumed the latter part of the week. Dundee is still wrestling with the pave- ment question, but residents of that suburb hope to reach a decision in the time to have the work begln early in the spring. A committee has been getting data on all | Kinds of pavement and hopes to be_able L0 report to a general meeting this week. A new addition will be opened in a few days on the Klorence boulevard, at the Junction of Miller park. Deeds have just been recorded, conveying about forty acres on both sides of the boulevard to Norris & Martin, who will put the addition on the market. about one-half of it will be sold off tn acre iots, with boulevard frontage and all im- provements. Some of these acre lots will be over 500 feot long and all of the lots will be large.

Body Revives After Inquest Fear of Law Causes Relatives to Al. low Woman Supposed Dead - Nearly to Freeze. BROOKVILLE, Ind, Feb. %.—Popular misconception of the coroner's law nearly permitted the body of Miss Olive Sanders to be frozen in a snowbank today. In a warm room and in the presence of the un- dertaker the “dead" woman came to life. Miss Sanders’ sister missed her from the house and found her, seemingly dead, lylng in the snow in the barnyard. Neigh- bors were called and st0od in a ring about the body, consoling the weeping sister and all obsessed with the notion that none should dare touch the dead until the arrival of the coroner. It took two hours to get the coroner to the Sanders place. He “viewed" the body and it was carried into the house and the undertaker called to prepare it for burial, At this stage Miss Sanders revived. EXIT FOR WHITE SLAVER After Serving a Two-Year entence.

It should al- | ways be low and can be elther hipped or have gabled ends. The gabled roof with | the front slope extending over the porch | is the most popular. The roof can have a dormer or not, as desired. The advantage of having a dormer for interior lighting and ventllating_of the attic is at once evident. The question id sometimes asked “what is a bungalow.”: So erroneously fis the name applied to various kinds of homes that the average person has some doubts as to the correct application of thé term. | the origin of Correctly speaking a bungalow is a low- roofed, one-story home with the rooms all arranged on one floor. For the accommo- dation of those who still adhere to the plan of a home on two floors, but at the same time admire the low-roofed appear- anca and almost rustic simplicity of the wéstern bungalow, designers have evolved a style of house which they call the “two- story bungalow.” They are, however, noth- ing more than the story and a half cottage we have been bullding for years except that they have some of the exterior char- acteristics of the one-story bungalow which Is noticéable 1h the simple freatment and wide projection of the cornice. The bun- galow 1s said to be the result of building experience-in parts of the country which are subjecte to seismatic disturbances; however that may be, it is true that we owe the bungalow largely to southern California, Arizona und Mexico, where such disturbances frequently take place. Here for the same reason, and celling are not always plastered. In other parts of the country this precaution is not necessary and is certainly' not ad- visable in the northern states: While the bungalow Is not necessary to overcome the damages of selsmatic dfsturbances in’ all parts of the country, the convenience of the arrangement of an entire home on one floor is universally. recognized and this is why the bungalow has become one of the rec- onized types of the typical American home. For a summer home, the bungalow style Is very appropriate. It is easily and quickly built and can be made attractive with the use of the simpliest materials. from interfering with Whited's work for Charles Storz and from any boycott of the business elther of Charles Storz or the Storz Brewing company. Whited alleges that he was employed last fall as a driver for the brewery; that the union procured his discharge by threat of a strike and of a boycott; that he made application to join the union and was refus that he later was discharged a second time from the brewery employ in the same way; that he appeared before the union in answer to a summons and stated hls attitude toward the unfon, but was again refused membership. Then he says he went to work for Charles Storz and another attempt to get him fired followed. Whited's petition is prepared by an at- torney for the Omaha Business Men's as- soclation.
