From coast to coaM and from bor der line to border line, Americans who respond to the most urgent call vet issued by the American commit tee for China famine fund will "pick a pal in China for a day" this week. This period will be known as "China famine week," in direct response to cablegrams from the American com mittee in Peking urging increased subscriptions with which to purchase food to keep starving Chinese farm ers and their families from devour ing growing grairv. during the next several weeks. Recent cables also advised that all funds received have been expended for supplies which will have been distributed and con sumed by May 1. Although the American committee contemplated no drive in the cus tomary sense, a season of special ap peal was decided as obligatory be cause of the messages of imperative need. According to the national commit tee in New York, local committees in practically all sections of the country have responded and will join in the "China famine week" activi ties. Churches of many denominations, which already, through the American committee or their mission boards have contributed more than $1,500, 000, will be specially active next Sun day. In addition, fund committees and other-organizations through their members, will, figuratively, pick a pal in China for a day, the thought in the background being that each per son responding to the call will send to the China Famine Fund, in care of W. Dale Clark, treasurer, Nebras ka committee, Orrmha National bank, what each would spend on a friend in one day, thus saving one or more victims of what has been described as the worst famine in history. The president of China recently lidded his appeal to that of the Ameri can committee in a cable in which he detailed the critical situation which will exist during the next several weeks intervening before the aud iences in the last week by Alfred S. Stt, the new minister from China to the United States, who headed a fly ing corps of speakers which visited middle! western and eastern cities in the interest of the famine fund. Vernon Munroe, treasurer of the China famine fund, announced that nearly $3,600,000 had been subscribed directly through the American com mittee up to last night. Workers for the fund express the hope that this sum .will be doubled during a "China famine week." In addition to "the total already recorded, the churches and the Arherican Red Cross have each forwarded $1,000,000 to their workers in the famine areas. Mayor Makes His Final nea in campaign at University of Omaha ''The engineers promise that $500, 000 of the money spent for the free bridge will go to local labor," as serted Mayor Ed P. Smith at the University of Omaha yesterday. The university chapefwas crowded with outsiders who wished to hear Mr. Smith's last speech as mayor. "The Dodge street cut is the sec ond largest street grading improve ment ever put through in the United States," he said, speaking of the work of Rov N. Towl's department of parks, "the paving of Dodge street will be finished by July 4. "When Towl's plan for widening Twenty-fourth street is carried through, Twenty-fourth street will be the finest thoroughfare in the middle west. ' "Due to the,benefaction of Harold Gifford, the work of the planning board, and the vision of Roy Towl we shall have a river drive better than anything west of the Berk shire hills. "You can start from the Atlantic and go to the Pacific on the Lincoln highway and the only place you have to pay toll is Omaha," asserted the mavor. He argued that the free bridge would enable Omaha to se cure mo ce trade from western Iowa. Vigilance Committee To Hunt Cattle Thieves White River, S. D., May 2. (Special.)

The big majority of accidents in Omaha occur at street crossings and the persistant habit of many drivers to cut corners is responsible for them. It is nothing short of reckless driving. Drivers should form the habit of making the military or square turn at all intersections by keeping as close to the right side of the road as possible. By following this rule you will mininize the danger of wrecking your own car and possible injury to yourself or companions. Because the "other fellow" cuts corners gives you no license to do likewise. Rath er set a good example for him by sane and careful operation of your automobile.
