HINTS FOR HUNTERS
The Morning Orogonian pertinent
ly remarks: To a British Columbia
snortsman trocs the unenviable dis
tinction of having been first to take
a human life in the deer hunting sea
son now merrily under way in the
northwest. The Oregonian cannot
well escape the necessity for these
time-honored annual observations
incident to the hunting of deer. Men
enter in the forest in search of ven
ison and happiness, and they emerge
on improvised litters, wounded or
dead; or they come home under the
shadow of tragedy and bitter self-re
proach.
Male deer wear horns, and men do
not. In Oregon, where only male deer
with horns may be killed, it should
be an easy matter to discriminate.
Do not shoot in haste or at the rust
ling of a leaf, the glimpse of a color.
Wait until the horns and head of the
animal are unmistakably visible.
Better a lost opportunity than a slain
companion. Observance of this par
ticular caution alone would prevent
many of the sad fatalities of the
hunting season.
But more than this is necessary.
A gun is a deadly weapon, and don't
forget it. Do not forget it when
climbing in or out of a vehicle, or
scrambling under or over a fence, or
when companions are near at hand.
The gun should be cocked only when
one is ready to shoot. At all other
times the gun should not be cocked,
and at all other times it should be
carried in a manner that insures
against harm and mishap. It should
never be brought loaded into camp.
It should never be left with cartridge
in the chamber. It should never be
used as a pointer. It should never
be handled carelessly, in any manner
or at any time.
A gun is a lethal weapon, and
don't forget it. If you do forget you
are likely to spend the remainder .):
your life in vain regret, or to be too
dead to care either way. Be careful.
Then be doubly careful. And here
after be twice as careful as that

The state market agent says-that
smut is taking a heavy toll from the
wheat growers of this country. The
smut balls are broken up in handling
the grain and millions of spores are
scattered over the fields, which cling
ing to the grain of wheat sprout
with it and grow up inside the plant.
The prevention is so simple and in
expensive that every grower should
u:',o it. The copper carbonate dust
treatment is generally recommended,
lining two ounces of the dust to a
bushel of wheat, mixing thoroughly
so that each grain of wheat will havo
a coating. The mixing may be done
in a revolving barrel, churn or con
crete mixer. A device may be made
on the farm by swinging a tight bar
rel so that it may revolve, using the
ordinary gas pipe for the axle and
handle.

Rubber Important in
' Destinies of Nations
Almost from the hour when Colum
bus, the first European to see rubber,
observed it used as a plaything by the
Indians, who bounced It back and
forth hence the original name of In
dia rubber the substance has" been
bound up In romance and fiscal ad
venture, writes Isaac F. Marcosson in
the Saturday' Evening Post.
In every sense It Is another black
Golconda, because it has affected the
economic destiny of nations and Indi
viduals.'" It 'was not until the discovery of
vulcanization in 1839 by Charles Good'
year, a Connecticut hardware mer
chant, that the commercial era of rub
ber began. It Is worth noting that
Goodyear's only reference to tires was
a suggestion that they might be used
to lessen the noise of barrows used
for wheeling luggage at railway sta
tions. Rubber got Its name In business be
cause It was originally used to rub
out pencil marks. In London half a
cubic Inch of It once cost the equiva
lent of 75 cents. This Is said to be the
highest known price recorded for raw
rubber.

Universities Have Long
and Glorious Records
The university, In the modern sense,
dates to the Twelfth and Thirteenth
centuries as aft outgrowth of earlier
schools In connection with cathedrals
and monasteries. This despite the
fact that a number of European uni
versities have legends carrying their
origin considerably farther back as
for instance Oxford, whose tradition
Is that it was founded by King Alfred
about 872. .
Oxford dates, however, to early in
the Twelfth century. The universities
of Paris and Bologna, which exercised
the greatest Influence upon the later
Institutions, were founded about 1200.
The oldest Spanish university Is that
of Salamanca, dating to 1240. The
earliest Italian universities, besides
Bologna, were Padua, 1222; Naples,
1224; Genoa, 1243, and Perugia, 1271
About ten others were founded In that
country before 1550, and Italy was the
greatest resort of students for the
higher education during those times.
The University of Prague was es
tablished In 134S; the first college at
Cambridge in 1257, and the University
of Jaglelle, in Cracow, Poland, in 1364.
The University 'of Copenhagen dates
to 1479, and of Edinburgh to 1581
