DISCOURTEOUS DRIVERS
An automobile traveled northward on Broadway. At
Morrison street a larger car approached from the west.
The first machine clearly had the right of way. It was

proaching motor. But the driver of the second machine
instead of slowing down to make the passing safe, speed
ed up. He attempted the stunt known as "stealing right
of way." Ordinarily the driver who has the right of way
escapes threatened collisions by sudden halt. But this one
was made of other stuff. He kept on his way, secure in
his rights, neither hurrying nor slowing. The second
driver escaped accident by suddenly applying his brakes
and dragging his wheels in a violent stop. Then he filled
the air with snarls and cursing.
Look at the accident record in Portland for the first 26
days of August. Twenty accidents were caused by reck
less driving, and 21 resulted from driving while intoxi
cated. BUT 170 WERE CAUSED BY FAILURE TO
GIVE iMClIT OK WAY!
This means that four times as many accidents resulted
from uncivil, discourteous, greedy driving than from in
toxication and recklessness combined. The last two are
bad eti'iugh. Either is sufficient cause to revoke the right
to drive. But for the deliberate, crude, cold refusal to
recognize the rights of others there is less excuse. The
punishment ought to be in proportion to the offense. It
is time to add discourteous drivers, with the reckless and
the intoxicated, to the rock breakers. Oregon Journal.
WHEN SCIENCE BATTLES
Farmers everywhere have so long been accustomed to
treat seed for smut that many look askance at the idea of
producing a smut immune wheat or smut immune oats.
The thing seem s almost impossible.
But science has a way of accomplishing miracles. When
the French tried to build the Panama canal they were
bat fled by yellow fever. Men died like flies in the canal
zone and no one knew how to slop the scourge. But ater
on American doctors solved the problem. After long study
they discovered that the mosquito was to blame and they
abolished yellow fever by the simple process of screening
against the mosquito. When Uncle Sam built the canal
he had 110 trouble with yellow fever.
The incident is recalled merely to show that what seems
impossible today may be easy tomorrow. Compared with
some of the battles science has already fought the struggle
to overcome smut in wheat seems easy. This paper knows
nothing of the. details involved but it is confident that men
like Mr. Stephens will win out. They have already made
such headway that ultimate success seems assured.
Wheat is a very old crop. It has been produced by man
since prehistoric days. Is it not reasonable to suppose
lh.it certain varieties having resisted smut for ages have
gradually become immune, just as men in the tropics be
come immune to tropical diseases? Is it not also logical
to believe that when once a smut resisting wheat is found
it can be bred up so as to carry the other qualities neces
sary? It is wonderful what can be accomplished along
such lines. East Oregonian.

DIM NO ON "IJAIt" MEAT
Grover Swaggart, proprietor of the
Central Market, always on the alert
for something different for his cus
tomers, had his meat rack decorated
with a big 440-pound bear one morn
ing last week that had been caught
in a trap by Government Hunter
Uoosa on Ditch creek. Mr. Swaggart
was notified by Roosa that the bear
had been killed and went immediate
ly to the hunter's camp and brought
in the carcass. Due to the extremely
warm weather and the delay in 'get
ting the animal to town the flesh
had tainted and Mr. Swnggart's cus
tomers were denied their portion of
"bar" meat.

merous in the Ditch creek hioun
