WHEN DAVID FLED FROM SAUL
David therefore departed thence,
and escaped to the cave of Adullam:
and when his brethren and all his
father'3 house heard it, they went
down thither to him. And everyone
that was in distress, and everyone
that was in debt, and everyone that
was discontented, gathered them
selves unto him; and he became a
captain over them.

The Gorgas memorial fund an
nounces a nationwide campaign
against mosquitoes. Sooner or later,
that campaign will become a world
crusade perhaps one of the major
activities of the future League of Na
tions. For mosquitoes are the most dan
gerous, as well as the most blood
thirsty, of the wild beasts left on
earth.
Bears and wolves are little more
than children's bugaboos; lions and
tigers are interesting sport, and even
snakes, outside of India, kill scarce
ly more people than lightning.
But mosquitoes slay their ten
thousands and disable their millions.
They probably extinguished the
great Maya civilization of Mexico.
They were a large factor in the fall
of Rome. They prevented the Pan
ama canal, until Gorgas took charge.
They have devastated the tropics
and much of the temperate zone with
malaria and yellow fever. They
make the arctic summer almost un
endurable, and rob the South Seas of
their charm.
Great and fertile regions are un
productive by reason of them. They
still do more havoc than the great
beasts ever did.
They are one of the few creatures
of earth that do no good and serve
no purpose. Exterminate them!
:o:
WHEN OUR OX IS GORED
A story from London:
"Many American tourists, deeply
resenting the inquisition to which
they are subjected in British ports
before being permitted to land, de
clare they would have cut England
out of their itinerary if they had
known beforehand what reception
they would have on their arrival in
British waters."
These Americans subject to such
treatment knew precisely- what to say
under the circumstances, not so much
because of their felicity of speech as
on account of their familiarity with
the natural language of protest so
often heard from foreigners entering
at American ports. It may be that
the British are merely paying us a
kind of compliment that of imita
tion. The British explanation that the
rigid examination and the suspicious
attitude are due to a determination
to keep the Reds out, tends to solve
the mystery. The foreigner, reading
American papers, American speeches
and the warnings of the American
department of Justice, understands
that we are a land teeming with dan
gerous communists, and it is only
the part of wisdom to view all Amer
icans with suspicion.
:o:
A book containing "What Every
Wise Man Knows," is memorized by
everybody wouldn't do as much good
as the theorist may suppose. The
unpleasant truth is that we must
learn a great many things for our
selves no matter how much litera
ture we memorize. But reading is
a powerful help to those who can
get anything out of it.
:o:
For the past week the Parmele
theatre have screened some of the
best class pictures we have ever seen
in Plattsmouth and poor crowds have
attended. Messrs. Cloidt & Moore
are doing their best to please the
amusement loving people, but they
can't afford to put on the best pic
tures unless they receive a better
patronage. And there you are!
:o:
A Texas man, paying hi3 $5 bach
elor tax, remarks that it is worth
J 5 00 to be a bachelor. "Well, new
sources of revenue are scarce, and
perhaps an increased bachelor tax J

P.ECRXESS WASTE OF LIFE
The automobile continues to be
this nation's most efficient instru
ment of death. In 1924, according
to figures just made public, it was
directly responsible for the taking
of 19,000 lives, while it left 450,000
persons injured in its ghastly wake
Only a few years ago the train and
the street car were considered the
last word in accidental death dealers
to the populace, but they have been
far surpassed and last year the auto
mobile killed and maimed mere peo
ple than trains and street cars com
bined, with all other type of vehicles
thrown in for good measure. As
tounding as these figures are they
tell the story but partially, inas
much as statistics are available from
only 165 cities representing one-third
of the country's total population.
There is a ray of hope in the fact
that while the total number of acci
dents is mounting higher and high
er, the ratio of accidents to the num
ber of automobiles in use is on the
descending curve. This may be safe
ty campaigns by means cf which
automobile drivers are being educat
ed to the price of recklessness.
It would be interesting to know
how many of last year's disasters
were unavoidable as in perhaps a ma
jority of the fatal accidents those
directly responsible paid with their
lives for their folly. Of the total
dead, however, 1.6SS were killed in
grade crossing accidents, while 5
650 of injured trace their misfor
tunes to the same cause. Of these
accidents it is reasonable to believe
practically all were avoidable. The
errade crossing is dangerous, of
course: it should be eliminated as
speedily as possible, but its known
dancers, paradoxically should de
crease its casualties. There are few
unguarded crossings and it is seldom
the driver of an automobile comes
upon them unawares. If he would
heed the sign to "Stop, Look and
Listen," he would be safe ninety-
nine times out of a hundred, but too
often the speed mania is on him and
rather than lose ten second he dashes
ahead in a usually losing effort to
beat the engine. And the death list
steadily rises.
The same is true of a large ma
jority of other classes of automobile
accidents; it is particularly true of
the accidents which result from Sun
day joy riding, and every Monday
newspaper is crowded with casualty
lists. It may be the exuberance of
youth, the jazz age in which we live,
the willingness to take a chance, or
merely speed dementia, but the fact
is indisputable that not once in a
thousand times Is an automobile ac
cident caused by defects in the car
or by other unavoidable reasons.
Whatever the causes, the slaughter
continues despite the effort to pro
tect reckless humanity against itself.
And it promises to continue uncurb
ed until a way can be devised to keep
automobiles out of the hands of per
sons without the sense to be careful.

CODE OF JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
The announcement that the Amer
ican Law Institute will draft a model
code of criminal, procedure for rec
ommendation to the state legisla
tures and courts of the country is
welcome news. The institute has
been urged to undertake this work
by such bodies as the American Bar
association, the Association of Amer
ican Law Schools and the American
Institute of Criminal Law and Crim
inology. The high standing of the
institute's memberiip insures -in ad
vance that its task will be thorough
ly performed. The work is expected
to take three years. At the end of
time the problem will arise whether
the institute shall undertake to urge
the adoption of its model code upon
courts and legislatures or allow that
duty to devolve upon the American
Bar association. But the need for
radical improvement is undoubted.
Our crime record has long amounted
to a national scandal, and a large
part of the responsibility for this
must rest upon our dilatory and
cumbrous methods of judicial proce
dure. NOTICE TO CREDITORS

BALANCED gasoline
WHATEVER kind of automobile you drive, take
gasoline seriously. On its quality depend the re
sponsiveness of your motor, car-mileage per gallon, freedom
from carbon and from harmful dilution of motor oil with
unburned gasoline.
Red Crown the balanced gasoline is built to meet
exactly the requirements of modern motors. It has the right
Tjroportion of low boiling point fractions for instant ignition
and quick starting. It also has the heavier fractions that
burn more slowly and keep up pressure to the end of the
piston stroke.
Red Crown is uniform and dependable wherever you buy
it and can be relied on to get the most power out of your
engine and take you the longest distance per gallon. You
can't buy a cleaner-burning, more economical and satisfac
tory gasoline for year-around use.
Next time you need gasoline, do as motor-wise Nebras
kans have done for many years. Pull into the nearest Red
Crown Service Station. You will receive prompt attention
and obliging service, together with full measure of uniform,
high efficiency gasoline and motor oil that provides protec
tive lubrication.
