thought that his chances for recov-
cry were approximately one in a

that the membrane of the brain was
not broken that even chances for
his recovery began to be realized.

essentially correct in regard to the
accident 1t seems that Harry and
several other playmates at the West
Side school We're enjoying the sport
of throwing bricks into the pool of
water standing in the basement of
the old building and thus splashing
water on each other. A brick
thrown by one of the youths slip

Indications point to a short ex- eoutive session of tho representatives of tho 125 union mine locals in Aia- bama at the state convention called for Friday morning.

 State mine headquarters in the Farley building presented no un- usual appearance yesterday and there is no surface indication of anything out of the usual on sched- ule beyond the report of the policy committee, which has already been made public.
