HOPE TO MAKE RECORD AS CITY OF NO MURDER Lincoln, Neb., Goes Without Killing for 33 Months. BY ARCH EDDY, United Pren Staff Corretpendent LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 24.—A majority of the 80,000 residents of Lincoln are gazing into the future, praying that the passions of man remain subdued for three more months so that an extraordinary record of three years without a murder may be attained. Already this capital city of Nebraska has become a sort of eighth wonder of the world because there has been no murders committed within Lincoln’s boundaries for two years and nine months. Knocks on Wood Aside from a suggestion that the city may have drawn inspiration from the pacifism of the late Wiliam Jennings Bryan, its renowned son, police could not explain the lack of violence. “We are knocking on wood,” was the reply to requests for information as to why residents of Lincoln refrain from impulses of violence. Hatchets may be bought in Lincoln—the same as in Omaha. Pistols are sold—just as they are in Chicago, and dynamite may be procured here as easily as in Kansas City. The best guess seems to be that other cities possess killers while Lincoln does not. Last Slayer Execuated Walter Anderson, captain of detectives, said he was mystified. “The offioers are sitting on the edges of their chairs waiting for a case to break at any time.” March 16 is the red letter date

.“Will the gentleman * r - ' who just coughed, kindly step to the box office ..for a package o/Old Golds?’.’

“Os course, I have never said just those words from the stage—but in all kindness I have often wanted to offer this friendly help to some poor fellow whose cough was interrupting the show and spoiling the enjoyment of those around him. “A year or so ago, the makers of OLD GOLD ran some ads on the disturbing effect of coughing in theatres. As an actor, I was grateful for those ads. I am more grateful now that OLD GOLD has invited stage folk to help them bring ‘first aid’ information to our unhappy friends the ‘ theatre-coughers.’ “My own advice is that prevention is the first and best aid. The kind of prevention that smoking OLD GOLDS gives. Harsh tobacco irritates the throat, and that causes coughing. Changing to OLD GOLDS soothes the throat and removes the cause of the ‘cough tickle.* ” ’ ,ONBD, Why not a cough in a carload? OLD GOLD Cigarettes are blended from HEARTLEAF tobacco, the finest Nature grows. Selected for silkiness and ripeness from the heart of the tobacco plant. Aged and mellowed extra long in a temperature of mid-July sunshine to insure that honey-like smoothness.
