(AP) The I .os Anfteles Times says that the cruiser Hunihursf, Germany's first war craft to visit a Paclflo ooiwt port sine July 1814, has ex ceeded tlie bonds of hospitality and Is in aerioiis danjrer of creating; an International embarrassment bc causu Ihiuor hnii been sold aboard tho vessel. Tho newspaper describes W. W. Andcrxon, assistant prohibition ad. mlnlstrntor In this district, reluct- nntly nrimtttinfr that federal opera tives boarded tho vessel two days aifo at Han Pedro nnd obtained evl. ilence in tho form of bottled hcer that tested 4.8 and 4.0 per cent. Facts In the enso ha.vo been "for warded to Washington for Instruc tions," while the beer has been J lucked In tho federal vaults hero. 'Our men had no trouble obtain- Inir tho beer," Anderson was de- i scribed as havlna; said. "Their only j difficulty was lo evado the mob I that swarmed atiout tho ship's can- ! teen and to find an officer -who would sell to them. This they did, pnylnir SI a bottle." The cruiser, a survrVor of the famous battle of Jutland, arrived at Han Tedro May 17 on a trip i around the world. It Is scheduled to sail for Han FranclBco nnd thence to tho Orient. ;, , TWO AUTO DEATHS THIS WEEK. ' The Old Oregon Trail west of Perry took its second vic lime this week when a young mother of 27 was instantly killed 'Wednesday night in an accident in which her car blunged over un embankment. She leaves an infant child in the hospital here, and a husband awaiting his wife's re tlturn at Vancouver, Wash. Two deaths in4hrev.dftys will not sound like a striking number to the city-bred persons; warn claim hundreds of lives per day. But in peace times, if we multiply two deaths each week by 125,000 towns in the west, the number of deaths becomes formidable. "" J The wheels in our heads are nut there to cuide the Wheels on the ground, and the former were meant to be1! above the latter, figuratively and literally. If one keeps;! both sets of wheels functioning that wny one will always!! ride at the proper elevation and so will the car. One thing I sure, you can run your own or the other fellow's car in the!! nivcn ana not nair try. it takes two automobiles to make,i .n good Bmashup, but the real damage is done even when!; only one goes over the grade. ' , ' LAPSED SOLDIER INSURANCE People who like to ran down the reasons for things have problem worth tackling in the fact that nearly 4,000,000 World war veterans have let their government insurance policies lapse. These policies are valued at $33,500,000,000. This soldier insurance was cheap and absolutely safe. The government makes no profit on it. The indifference to government insurance suroly is not due to indifference to insurance itself. The total amount of life insurance outstanding in tho United States at this time is estimated at over $60,000,000,000. It is likely that A good many of those 4,000,000 veterans who let their gov ernment policies lapse have bought and are carrying in surance sold them by private companies. Is it true that in it competitive market, government insurance, no matter how profitable and cheap, cannot overcome the .advantage of the private companies with their highly trained selling organizations? Or is it possible that the government did not make its plan sufficiently clear and that if it had been lietter understood it would have been better patronized? While The Observer feels that this latter explanation has much to do with it, there may be any number of rea sons for tli is strange situation. However, the government Insurance is as good as ever, and tho drive of the United States Veterans' bureau to revive as many as possible of those lapsed policies deserves widespread support. After July 2, 1926, most of the policies will bo permanently voided unless they are taken up again before then.
