TWO HUSBANDS
CLAIM LUCILLE;
' IS UP TO POLICE
Pretty Divorcee, Actor and
Auto Man in Love Tri
angle; the Woman
Gone.
Police were called upon last night
to solve an eternal triangle problem
and after wrestling with it for an
hour or so threw -:p their hands and
announced they were baffled.
A pretty divorcee, Lucille McCor
mick, formerly Lucille Bryant, who
lived with her mother, Mrs. Curtis
Arms, 3108 South Eighteenth street,
L. McCorrqick, an automobile me
chanician,' 1916 South Sixteenth
street, and LeRoy Pomtroy, an actor,
who goes under the headline of "Dar
ing Dick, the Fearless Daredevil of
the Air," at a local theater this week,
are the principals in a three-cornered
affair, that would puzzle a Philadel
ohia lawyer.
Both men claim to be the husband
of the pretty and vivacious Lucille.
Pomeroy says he married her in St.
Louis, May 18, 1916, and lived with
her until within a few months ago
when a little family jar took place
and he sent her to Omaha. Then
McCormick appeared on the scene,
gave Lucille the once over,, decided
she would make him a good helpmeet
and proposed marriage. They were
married in Omaha, June 8, 1918. She
left him July 28, after less than two
months of connubial bliss.
Meets First Love.
Last Sunday "Daring Dick, the
Fearless Daredevil of the Air" arriv
ed in Omaha, met Lucille and" patch
ed up their, little difficulty. They
made their home for the time being
at the Dodge hotel, 107 South Thir
teenth street, registering as husband
and -vife. A brother of McCormick
found them in each other's company
on the street and trouble started.
Lucille, evidently finding herself in
bad with her late husband, and fear
ing his wrath, rushed to the hotel
and registered as Lucille McCormick.
Last night the husbands came to
gether. Both were wrathy but no
Mood was shed and after arguing the
matter over between themselves fin
ally agreed to leave it to the pplice
for adjudication. In the meantime
a search was made for Lucille, but
she had departed for parts unknown,
and until she is found the problem
wiM remain unsolved.
McCormick, some time ago filed
suit for divorce. Pomeroy declared
that he thought Lucille had procured
a divorce from him. He had a photo
graph of the marriage certificate ser
vices in St. Louis. Neither McCor
mick nor Pomeroy appeared to want
Lucille as a mate and both were ap
parently anxious to get rid of her.
The only advice they could get at the
police station was to put the matter
in the hands of County Attorney
Magney.

Navy Lads Nearly Lost
Out on That Pie Feast
The old adage, "Don't put off till
tomorrow what you can do today," is
much in vogue at t'.ic navy recruiting
station and with good reason.
Pie day yielded a rich harvest to
the recruiting office. There were
20 splendid pies delivered Wednes
day afternoon to Ensign Condict for
his sailor boys. Mouths fiirly wa
tered at the sight of them. But it
was late in the afternoon and after j
a council of war it was decided to j
save the least till the next day.
But Thursday morning found the
navy office enveloped in gloom and
despair, for where the night before
there had been 20 luscious pies, there
was nothing!
However, like most stories, this has
a happy ending. The war camp
community workers, hearing of the
terrible plight, r v..iediately produced
thirly more pies and the navy is
again at peace.
Five Divorce Petitions Are
Filed in the District Court
The following five divorce petitions
were filed in district court Friday
morhing: Byron F. Smith against
Amanda, alleging desertion; Leona
Callahan against Patrick, alleging
cruelty; Mary Emigh against Fred G.,
alleging non-support; Edward R.
Wirson against Lottie, alleging
cruelty, and Tom Stathos against

Omaha Scout Leader
Goes to Pittsburgh
As Playground Head
C H. English, executive of the boy
scouts of Omaha, will leave within
a week to take the position of super
intendent of public playgrounds in
Pittsburgh, Pa. He came to Omaha
a few years ago to be superintendent
of playgrounds under J. B. Hummel,
former city commissioner. He quit
the service of the city to take charge
of the local boy scouts.
Mr. English recently spent his va
cation of three months in the east,
during which trip he visited various
eastern cities, including Pittsburgh.
Incidental to the leaving of Mr.
English, there is to be a shake-up in
the affairs of the boy scout organi
zation here. Vincent Haskell, assist
ant executive and former scout mas
ter, will sever his relations with the
organization. He has been one 61
the most active workers in scout
craft in Omaha.
America Must Supply Great
Amounts of Foodstuffs
For the year beginning September
1, the allies must have 500,000,000
bushels of cereals for human con
sumption, 4,000,000,000 pounds of fats
and fat products, 1,500,000 tons of
sugar and 900,Cw),000 pounds of beef.
The United States must furnish
the greater part of this; then with
an estimated army of nearly 3,000,
000 by June, the task of the United
States becomes infinitely greater.
"It is the greatest call for foods
the United States has ever undertak
en," says Hoover. "But we can do it
if we have the will to live with every
economy and to waste nothing. By
so doing it will work no hardships
on us."

ples and Blisters.
"Itching and burning affected my
hands, on my finrrers and between
them, and then they broke out in pim
ples and blisters. My hands were red
and inflamed and swelled up, and were
worse when in water. The eruption
itched and burned and caused disfig
urement for the time being. I could
not do my regular work.
"They bothered about four or five
weeks when I tried a free sample of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. It
seemed to help so I bought a cake of
Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura
Ointment and now my hands are
healed." (Signed) Edward Rivera,
