"It is the intention of this depart ment to leave nothing undone to ward carrying out the Americaniza- , Program wh'ch the legislature lias enacted. Those attacking the Sim- n law seem to be proceeding on the theory that the legislature can not fix the basis of education in the schools. "The petition itself as recorded in the press shows the need of such legislation. It declares that the chil dren can not be properly taught without the u J of foreign language. If that is the case, justification for r ..king the English language the exclusive medium of instruction is apparent and radical measures are called for." Meld : in Accord. . .

Lee-Lyons-Lee 2574 Harney Street Phone Tyler 894. OMAHA, NEB. Lincoln, May 5. Governor Mc Kelvie is preparing a statement to be eiven out in regard to the Dro- posed referendum on the administra tive code law. He is of the opinion that every petition circulated for signers must be attached to a full and complete copy of the code en actment. L. E. Aylsworth of Lin coln has advanced this contention, and Mr. McKelvie thinks the law so requires. Others point to contradictory pro visions in the initiative and referen dum law which they think will make it (permissible to print only, the title ol the code measure on the petition blanks. The form, of referendum pe tition as set forth in the statute, calls tor the title only. Where a-f referendum is to be had on part .of an act, and not the whole thing, the particular part must be set forth. W. T. Thompson, former attorney general, and other Lincoln lawyers believe it will be legally sufficient to print the title. It is reported that one member of the state legal department as now constituted takes the same view, though Attorney General Davis has not as yet an nounced his personal view. Fred C. Ayres, who is in charge of obtaining signers for the refer endum, visited the secretary of state's office Monday morning, in company with Attorney Dexter T. Barrett, in order to obtain the exact wording of the title from the original bill. S. F. 2. This is what-vill go upon the petition blanks. It would be impracticable to circulate peti tions attached to a huge volume of printed matter like the code law, and the cost would be prohibitive. PHONE OOUt.AS 3 - OMAHA fft TgTV,.

This will cost yery little but is sufficient to re-' move every hard or soft corn from one's feet. A few drops applied directly up on a tender, achimr corn should re lieve the soreness Instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all, can be lifted out with the fingers without pain. This new way to rid one s feet or corns was introduced by a Cincin nati man, who says that while free- 1 zone is sticky it dries in a moment. and seems to simply shrivel up the corn without inflaming or even ir ritating the surrounding tissue or skin.
