WIFE IN DIVORCE ' COURT ADMITS -BEING UNTRUE Judge Refuses Decree to Either bne of Couple. Admissions of infidelity, by Daisy Helvey on the witness stand in di vorce court yesterday 'caused Judge Troup to deny her a divorce from Ira 5. Helvey. And the admission by Mr. Helvey that he had condoned her mistake caused the judge to deny him a divorce. Helvey, an employe of the Union stock yards, testified that he went to the home of a "pal" on the after noon of September 19, at 2518 Cap itol avenue, and that while he was there a telephone call came from a woman friend of his "pal's" room mate. The woman said she was coming over to see him. Finds It Was Wife. Helvey and his friend watched through a. crack between the double doors of their room and saw the other man receive the woman at the door and escort her through the hall to an adjoining room.

Judge Troup stated that the child of the Helveys should be placed in the custody of some one other than its parents.

AMERICANIZING OF FOREIGNERS SENATORS' PLAN Labor Committee Strongly in Favor of Legislation, Says Kenyon on Return From Pittsburgh. Washington, Oct 13. Americani zation of foreigners should be an im mediate effort of congress through legislation, declared Senator Ken yon of Iowa, chairman of the sen ate labor committee, which returned from an investigation of the steel strike in the Pittsburgh district. As serting that about half of the steel workers are of foreign birth and cannot read, write or speak English, Senator Kenyon said one of the first aims of congress as a result of the committee's inquiry should be Americanization legislation. In a formal statement Senator Kenyon said: "I do not desire to discuss the steel strike nor the reasons or causes therefore at this time. The committee has not as yet completed its investigation. I think it permis sible to say, however, that the com mittee returned from the Pittsburgh district strongly in favor of some Americanization bill. Should Be Americanized. "I have thought for a long while that congress must do what it could to help stimulate Americanism. That is a common ground upon which we can stand and is a rallying point for all. Vhen you find that in some of these mills over 50 per cent of the workmen cannot fread, write nor speak the American language; when it is necessary in these mill districts to publish orders in all kinds of lan guages, it is time for the American people, represented by the American congress, to give determined consid ration to some plan of affording these foreign citizens an opportunity to learn what the institutions of America stand for and to become Americanized. We saw some young fellows who had only a smattering of our tongue who impressed us as splendid material out of which to make American citizens, f r Two Bills Now Pending. "Two bills are now pending before the committee, of which I have the honor to be chairman, dealing with this question. The committee meets this week to take them up, and I Public Night Schools4 Opened Last Night For Winter Season Public night schools were opened last night for the season. Sessions will be held Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evening of each week, from 7:30 to 9:30. Americanization will be stressed. The school officials ask employers to interest their employes in these schools. ' The following schools ' will be used: Central High, High School of Commerce, South High, Farnam, Kerlom.

Iaeger of Chadron, Neb, known throughout the west as "Billy, the Bear," is a guest at the Hotel Conant. He came to the me tropolisrom Valentine, Neb., where he attended the annual session of "The Northwestern Roundup," of which he is secretary. This organization is a fraternal society of the old guard of cattle men of the United States. The pres ent membership is 385, including J. C Dahlman, former mayor of Omaha. "Billy, the Bear," lost his feet and legs and parts of both hands in a blizzard nearly 40 years ago. He is having a new set of artificial limbs made in Omaha. earnestly hope that one or both of them rnay be reported out of the committee and may be passed by congress before adjournment There is no greater question than that of Americanizing this nation of ours. "Many of those who cannot speak our language are yearning to know it and want the opportunity to learn about our institutions. Most of them have subscribed for Liberty bonds, but how can they know any thing about American institutions when they cannot speak America's language. We cannot reach a one language nation over night but that eventually should be our goal. It will take some time, but the result will be worth while, for there is national solidarity, for all people in a nation speaking the same language. Eight and a half million people in this country over 10 years of age cannot speak, read or write the American language. To the correc tion of that condition every citizen should resolve to do his part." but it's vL- V Just milk now you get three cans at a special price at all grocers who just will not sell any thing but the best.
