so YOU'RE GOING HUNTING

AS the opening of the hunting season approaches,
many Alaskans planning trips into the lands
If you are gong-wheter it is your first trip your
2Oth-the thing you thinking about most is re-
turning with deer. That's perfectly natural but
there are at least two other things which ought to
occupy a fair share Of your attention from the time
you begin TO plan your trip until that big buck is
landed in your backyard.
The first of these is coming home alive and all in
one sound piece and the second is making sure that
for the rest of your days you will be burdened by
the appalling remembrance that you manned or killed
another hunter through careeSsness.
Experience has proved that most hunting and
shooting accidents are prevenable. Alaska hunters
are in that they do not have the crowded
conditions that exist in many of the States where a
vast army of tyros-city jewellers old and young
swarm through the woods Even SO, our hunting is
done under conditions which demand plenty OF eau
ton and forethought; for example that fruitful and
ever-ready source of accidents the handling of guns
in launches and rowboats. While the of firearms
is much common in Alaska than in the States,
few people even here have carried and used guns so
constantly that caution has become habitual
At request, a thorough-going woodsman and
time hunter Jay Williams formerly of the Forest
Service has outlined the following dozen basic rules
to be observed you wish to live ripe old age and
are equally solicitous for your hunting companions:
l. Go out properly equipped Have pocket COM
pass, loaded waterproof match box hand axe and
nub of a candle to help start fire from the wet
wood of rainy country Take along an extra wool
Jacket stag shirt, small pack of emergency raons
and simple frst-aid kit Use small knapsack for
carrying these items. When thus equipped, being
caught out over night means nothing more serious
than some delay.
2. Your gun should be in first-class condition, of
ample power and whether rifle or shotgun, should
have good strong positive trigger pull of not less
than three and preferably three and one-haf pounds
Light triggers are dangerous Guard against obstruc-
tons in the barrel of your gun Carry pull through
to remove mud and snow
8. Never shoot until you know what you are shoot
ing at Nothing in the world looks like legal buck
except legal buck. That brown patch seen through
the brush may have almost exactly the right shade
of brown but it won't have white TAIL pair Of ears,
branching antlers. If you shoot without seeing the

The ilustrious House of Orange Nassau, which
has had a hand in ruling the Netherlands since it
drove out the Spaniards in the Middle Ages, seems
destined to be headed perpetually by in these
modern times.
Crown Princess Juliana is a mother again Another
daughter is born to her and Prince Bernhard. Their
first child Princess Beatrx, heir apparent is now a
year and half old.
AS is natural to all ruling houses son would have
been most welcome. But the people of the Neither
lands looking back their peaceful history since
Queen Wilhelmina came to the throne in 1890 until
the regency of her mother Princess Emma, should be
particularly joyful.
The Netherlands have prospered under Wilhel-
nina She succeeded her father William Ill Ho-
lands last king who had ruled for al years. Under
him the nation turned away from European entangle-
ments and devoted its energies to consolidating its
vast colonial empire and to domestic issues. Under
Wilhelmina great strides have been made in social
and labor legislation. Holland has prospered when
other countries have suffered economic and political
reverse The nation should be thankful for its queen
forward to the rule of her daughter the SEN
sible and wel-educated Juliana.
If she continues to be mother of daughters and
mo son is born the Netherlands will have nothing to
fear The democratic traditions strong that
whoever sits on ancient throne bound to observe
them And in this day, when women are successfully
filling so many of the roles of men, queen can be as
regal a king.

Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, retiring at "a as COM
mander of the Asiatic Fleet has had in the last year
or two of the most difficult assignments naval
officer ever gets.
He has had to do everything possible to protect
American lives and property over the enormous area
of China but without exceeding the -defined rights
the United States enjoys in China ports He has had
to maintain courteous relations with japanese mill
tary and naval personnel, but without yielding any
ground sacrificing any rights.
This is not easy job in the best of times. In
the midst of undeclared war, it is perplexng and
wearing. Because of the distance from Washington,
he had to make far-reaching decisions on his own
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that involved not only the safety
of American nationals but the strategic and economic
interests of the United States
Admiral Yarnell diplomat well as the head of
a fleet has done skillful job where many another
might have made some error of Judgment that would
have precptated serious friction By his skill he has
done much to make up for the fact that American
foreign policy in the Far East has been equivocal and
unmpressive-at least until recent days.
AS he returns to his homeland, Admiral Yarnell
merits not only the honors Congress and the President
have bestowed but also the gratitude of the American
