Bee BIG ARMY CAMP' MAY BE OPENED IN OMAHA BY U.S. President Brown of Commer cial Club Says One of Thirty-Two "Towns" May Be Built Here. Omaha probably will be chosen as one of the thirty-two "army towns" to house soldiers who will be mobi lized within the next six months, in the opinion of President Randall K. Hrown of the Commercial club of Omaha. "We knew this building of camps tc house the soldiers was coming and we have been pressing Omaha's advantages for some time," said President Brown. "We have had the question up with the War department, and Senator Hitchcock has made several triDs to the department in our behalf. We have placed all the available informa tion as to Omaha's advantages befoie the committee in charge. "We have pointed out that Omaha has excellent railway facilities, that it already has two army posts here, that it has great stock yards and pack ing plants to furnish an abundant meat supply; that it has great eleva tors tor tne storing ot gram and a great many other facilities important in mobilization. Colonel Hunter Impressed. "Colonel Hunter was here from Washington about a month ago with a committee of army men looking over Omaha's facilities. He seemed greatly impressed with Omaha's re sources," Colonel Bingham of the quarter master's department said: "I know nothing about where these mobiliza tion camps will be located. That is till handled from Washington. The locations have been under investiga tion for some time." Commissioner Manley of the Com mercial club said: "The War department sent officers here some time ago to check up Omaha's advantages. They obtained maps of vacant plats of ground adja cent to the city, taking account of the street car service, the railway facili ties, etc. They were in no position to tell us what opinions they had formed. Their report, as I understand it, was made back to General Thomas Barrv of Chicago, commander of the Central department. Business Men Hopeful. Omaha business men are of the opinion that Omaha's chances of be ing selected as one of the sites are excellent, especially since the dis patches say sue such mobihzat on camps are to be opened in the Cen tral department, which comprises only tne nve states ot Nebraska, Minne sota, the Dakotas and Iowa. Says Hubby Joyrides and Leaves Her Home to Knit Gertrude P. Radinsky, 16 Strehlow apartments, is suing Raymond Samuel Radinsky, expert accountant and cashier of the Standard Furnace and Stove company, for divorce in district court.

She says tluu he finally left her, tak ing all his belongings and leaving her only a $5 bill. According to the petition, Mrs. Radinsky is teaching music and sing ing as a means of support. Radinsky, the wife says, has an in come of $200 a month. She asks the court to restore her maiden name of Gertrude Sanborn a;:d award her $75 a month alimony.

She told how her husband, John Ivron, employe at the smelter works, beat her habitually. Wednesday, she said, he locked her in their home at 4603 North Eighteenth street and beat her with a strap until her body was-black and blue. Ivron, a big, powerful man, earns $11 a week and refused to turn it over to his wife for the support of herself and the two children. Mrs, Ivron says she often suffered hunger without, complaining, but when her babies, aged 18 months and 9 months, were without food she complained to Mrs. Rose M. Ohaus, head of the Welfare board domestic relations department. During her testimony Mrs. Ivron was afraid to look at her husband. He scowled at her several times and the little woman slunk down in her chair. Once she bowed her head to the back of her chair, and Mrs. Ohaus brought her a drink of water. "He said he would kill me if I told the olice," Mrs. Ivron said. At the request of Mrs. Ohaus, Judge Madden sent Ivron to the work house for forty-five days. "I want to send this little woman to the hospital' explained Mrs. Ohaus, "to give her time to recuperate from the beatings her husband gave her. Her body is a mass of bruises." Prof. C. W.

Seven billion dollars! The "liberty loan. Do you realize, dear reader, how many dollars that is? Probably not. For when figures rise to those vast proportions they exceed the compre hension of these little brains of ours. Well, let's try to comprehend. That sum represents about $7 for every minute, day and night, that has elapsed from the birth of Christ to the present time! Take another example. Suppose vou have 7,000,000,000 silver dollars in a big bin, and you start to count them. You count one dollar a second and drop it into another bin. One dollar every second you count and you work eight hours a day and .IdS days a year, except in leap vears, when you work .too. Suppose you are 20 years old now. By the time vou arc 90 vou will have counted just 7J5.OO0,0OO of those dol lars. It would take you 605 years and ten months to complete the task of counting the $7,000,000,000. Borrows the Dollar. I hold in my hand, ladies and gen tlemen, a silver dollar (borrowed for the occasion from a wealthy itentlc- man in the office). 1 ask Mr. A. F.d win Long for the loan of a ruler. He hasn t any. Mr. tred S. Hunter, our sporting editor, who wears such classy clothes, also foils me. But Mr. Bertsch. who knows every thing and has everything, produces a ruler from the third drawer of his desk and I proceed to measure the silver dollar. As a result of my ma thematical investigations I find that the dollar is one and one-half inches in diameter. Now 1 do some lightning calculat ing, i discover that eight silver dol lars, laid edge to edee. will reach a distance of one foot. Therefore 42,- 240 silver dollars will reach exactly one mile. Dividing 7.000.000.000 bv 42.240 I get 165,719. Seven billions dollars, laid edge to edge would reach 165,719 miles, or six times around the earth with 15,719 miles left over. If vou could walk thirty miles a day and keep walking every day along that line of dollars you could reach the end of tne line in a trine over sixteen years. Put 'Em in Piles. Taking again Mr. Bertsch's worn but serviceable ruler and the silver dollar borrowed from the wealthy gen tleman, l hnd ny careful measure ments that ten silver dollars, placed one on top of the other will make a pile one inch high. With this fact established, I demon strate by means of an elaborate esti mation in trigonometry and differ ential calculus that 7,000.000.000 silver dollars will make a pile 700.000,000 iiuiies iiirii, which would be ,5.W,Jj.( leet or 11,048 miles. This is too high a pile to stand firm ly.; So we will make our 7,000,000.001) dollars into 1 1 .048 piles, each one mile high. In still other words all these dollars would make 20'),')2 piles, each as high as the City National bank building. Thoroughly exhausted with mv ma thematical labors I pause here, hoping vou realize how big a sum $7,000,000, 0IK) is. 1 return the ruler to Mr. Bertsch and. what's more, 1 return the dollar to the wealthy individual. For I am an honest man. Elks Sponsor Program For Red Cross Benefit An entertainment in aid of the Red Cross and the first one to take place in the court house will be a gigantic concert to be given by the K.Iks lodge Thursday evening. May 24. (ieorge llrecn's concert band, Henry G. Cox and his student orchestra, the Menoma chorus, the Armour Glee club (sixteen young women), a double male quartet furnished by Mrs. Millie Ryan and a brie! patriotic address by A. W. Jetferis havs already been se cured for the program. Every number on the program will be a big one, and the performers al ready secured now number nearly 200. Arrangements will be made to seat the rotunda of the court house to its fullest capacity. It is planned to have Red Cross nurses as ticket takers and Hoy Scouts to act as ushers. It is to be a 100 per cent concert, and for every ticket sold the F.Iks will turn into the Ked Cross fund $1. It is be lieved that nearly .1,000 persons can attend and comfortably listen to the program of patriotic and popular music. Tickets at $1 each will be placed on sale throughout the city at once. Girl Screams; Alleged Assailant is Arrested The screams of a girl at Eighth and Pacific streets attracted Patrol man Chaddock late Thursday night. He testified Friday in police court that Sam Sutino attacked Anna Nel son, 5508 Center street, who is em ployed in pool hall at 621 Pacific street. , "The girl asked me to talk with her." Sutino told the court. "Not much." said City Prosecutor McGuire. "Then why did she scream?" Sutino did not answer, "We're going to see this case through," said Judge Madden. "Bring the gifl into court tomorrow and we will hear her story. If it corrobo rates the officer's testimony the pris oner will Ret a stiff penalty."
