SAND SLIDE
 THREATENS
 MANS LIFE

Joe Sundine, aged 24, whose reputa- tion for daring is by word among the Italian laborers of the Rich Sand & Gravel Go. in William street exten- sion, was saved from horrible death this forenoon only because a dozen of his fellow laborers worked like demons, with precipitation fairly rain ing from their swarthy foreheads, to unearth their buried cOmrade.
 Buried alive beneath four feet of gravel and sand, Sundine was rescued after what seemed to his fellow to1l- CTS like an hour or more. In reality it couldn't have been more than four or but that they broke all records for excavation work in this vicinity in the rescue of Sundine.
 The scene of the sand sslide this morning is on the west side of Will liam street extension, stones throw north of William street. A mound like formation overlooking Berkshire pond his been burrowed into from the east until a sheer wall of 20 feet of sand lowered over the scene of the laborers' activities.
 Scoffing at the fears of his com- rades, Sundine took his stand under the sand and gravel cliff this morn- ing. belittling their caution and reck- lessly thrusting his spade into the cliff from time to time.
 Suddenly without an instant'S warn ing the top of the cliff dropped over upon Sundine Not a word escaped him, but his comrades who a moment before saw him standing in danger. heard the rumble, and saw in place of the hollow where Sundine stood a pile of many tons of gravel and sand.
 Only two or three were with Sum dine when the crash came. But their yells brought the others trooping from other parts of the sand and gravel bank. Snatching shovels as they ran the gang made the dirt fairly fly in a steady shower as they delved into the spot where they expected to find Sundine.
 Like beavers they hurled shovelful after shovelful far away from the pile, until suddenly a cry from one who announced that he had come across the missing man. He had been buried fully four feet below the top of the slide. In a few seconds the earth had been flung aside enough to permit them to drag him forth.
 Sundine was unconscious. They brushed the dirt away from his nos trils and mouth. and laid him on his back in the gravel. At first he breathed very faintly. But before the ambulance corps arrived from the emergency hospital Sundine was on his feet.
 One of the group began to give Sundine a line of T told you so'' talk. He was so angry that he seized his shovel and started back to the scene of his narrow escape. But about that time Dr. Krause came upon the scene in the ambulance and they in- sisted that he should submit to an examination.
 pr. Krause could find nothing wrong with the man. But the doctor gave him a ride to his boarding house. 153 Howe street, where he told the laborer to remain for the day.

MIDDLEMEN'S PROFITS
 SAVED FOR THE CONSUMER.

The Manufacturers Outlet Co.,, of New York, which has a branch here and in several other New England cities, says in a local ad: Are you aware that about 35 per cent. to 40 per cent. of the price you are paying for your clothes, goes into the pock- cts of someone who does nothing but invest a, paltry few dollars in some fancy store fixtures, a few dollars more in fancy display pictures and attractive window figures, then puts in a clever ad in the newspapers and sits down at his cash drawer and be- gins to take i'm The real maker of the suit, over in New York, invests his own (and his borrowed) fortune contends with greatest hardships wears out his nerves worrying and fighting competition, both in produc- ing and marketing his merchandise, then he comes to your local mer- chant and sells him his product on four to nine months time, takes his chances on getting his money, and all
 he makes is 10 per cent. if he gets paid.
 we are tired of this state of af- fairs; we want to deal with you di- rect. You at least will pay us the cash. You come to our retail outlet and get your clothes at the same price that this middleman buys at. You will save his enormous profit
