Already from down in the States coming the
usual fall stories of the man mistaken for a deer.
AS rule Alaska is fortunate in this respect pri-
mariy due to the lesser number of hunters and the
fact that the majority of them up here more
experienced in the But keep up that record,
itfisnt bad idea from time to time for most Of
review few of the general facts how to conduct
ones self in the woods.
With the opening of the hunting season again,
Harold E. Smith of the u s. Forest Service has pre-
pared some general information which is timely for
both the experienced and inexperienced Here's what
he has to say:
First observe the game law by getting a
hunting license from the Game Commission.
Tell your friends family where you
going and when you expect to return. Then
if anything happens they will know where
to search
Dress properly Light water -repellent outer
clothing and medium wool underwear is pref

case and be prepared to build a fire in case
you are caught out A few plugs of candle are
admirable for this purpose, and can be carried
: in the pocket.
Always carry lunch
If you become confused to direction
thinking is better than hours of haphazard
a., cunning. through the woods Remember too,
that following stream or slope down hill will
eventually bring you out to salt water where
your chances of greatly enhanced.
1t is Illegal to kill deer with horns less
than three inches long Be sure you see the
horns before you shoot This will insure
against killing doe, fawn, or worse yet
your hunting companion. Too often men
shoot at mere movement of brush and all
too frequently find out later they have shot
a person. It's poor abi, after man is shot,
to say Il thought it deer.
Another thing would like to stress is that
80 While you carrying your gun along the
roads trails don't stoop to the abomnabe
practice of shooting up sign boards or shoot
ing insulators off power lines Sign boards are
erected at public expense for public benefit,
and to destroy them is sign of poor sports
manshp and poor citizenship If you want
to try your gun or improve your marKsman-
ship, go down to the shotgun club or out to
the rifle range. Or select stump, tin can,
OF some other worthless object and blaze away
at that, but don't destroy useful public
..sproperty. ~ SUI

LOANS
TO CHINESE
! POWDERED
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM
international News Service

"A new series Of Government
loans to finance American exports
to China is being considered by
the Administration.
Sources close to the Export-Im-
port Bank of Washington today
revealed a number Of loan applica-
tions have been filed with that
agency in recent months. The
bank, a subsidiary Of the Recon
struction Finance Corporation,
is charged with financing ship
ments Of American products and
commodities to foreign countries.
While bank officials declined To
disclose the nature of the pending
applications, 1t is believed several
deal with industrial shipments to
the Far East.
Survey Completed
Considerable significance is at
&ached to a survey of Chinese eco
nomic conditions just completed
by Warren L. Pierson, president OF
the bank. Pierson is expected to
return from the Orient late this
month.
Capitalized at 100000, the
banks activities recently were ex-
tended until 1899. Loans aggre-
eating approximately $16,000,00
are still outstanding. These adj
vances were made to finance cot
ton and wheat shipments to China
several years ago.
With the United States threat
ened with its first unfavorable
trade balance in nearly so years,
q Commerce Department study
urged further cultivation Of the
Chinese market.
Private Capital Shy
The department commented
that Chinese capital at present is
too limited to promote rapid ex-
pansion Of that country's indus
tries.
Despite uncertainty Of Chinese
political developments, the de-
partment observed that several
European countries, notably Eng
land, Germany and Belgium, are
extending long credit to China.
American capital has been slow in
following suit.
Citing the present heavy de-
n1and in China for construction
materials and machinery, the de-
partment recommended extension
Of American credit at this time.
