Deer Crowding Hazard
To Herd Population

Ten per cent of all of Wisconsin's
millions of r of deer country
creates the entire present Wisconsin
deer problem and Wisconsin can
nave no more deer than the 10 per
cent of the land permits, the con-
servation department said. Wiscon-
sin deer insist on congregating on
10 per cent of their range during
severe winter weather and the total
deer population depends on how
many animals can annually sur-
vive their self-imposed confinement
IN the food depleted concentration
aeas.
The department emphasized that
it has found no way to change deer
nature. The animals have no food
problem as long as they roam about
freely on their great range, as they
do IN summer. But in periods of
deep snow, a condition that prevails
for long periods in most winters,
deer concentrate in shelter areas
that they have used for many gen.
erations and either survive or die
according to the supply Of food
available in their places of concen-
tration. The department estimates
that there are more than 500 such
concentration areas in the state,
ranging from small to miles in size.

When eight transports locked in
New York one day in mid-month,
they brought back IS, 1000 happy vet
Grams of the European war-the
largest number returned in a single
day since We Day. Twenty-eight
thousand soldiers were Americans,
1000 Canadians. Five infantry regi-
ments, a hospital unit, various
groups of the 9Th air force, and nu-
merous smaller units were among
the arrivals. The number of troops
now back in the states is approach
ing the half million mark.
The giant Queen Mary carried
more than $4,000 men, includ-
ing 5000 Of the Canadian contingent.
The West Point, which is the navy's
largest transport, had 1900 soldiers
aboard, and the John Ericsson about
the same number. Three thousand
men came home on the James
Parker, and four smaller trans
ports returned a total of 1900.
Aboard the West Point were SO
men who were not happy about the
trip. They were Japanese diplo-
mats taken into custody in Europe.
An unlisted passenger was Nat
ale Piavallo, nine-year-old Italian
orphan, who was smuggled aboard
the General Bliss by soldiers of the
9th division. He was liberated from
a German prison camp by Ameri-
can troops. He will be placed in a
private home pending decision of
immigration authorities.

Wet Cleaning Tides
Cotton Wash Dresses

Some cotton wash dresses will not
wash satisfactorily for instance
those which will shrink a good deal,
or those with colors that aren't fast.
In the long run, cottons do not dry
clean very satisfactorily; but your
dry cleaner has another trick up his
sleeve which is neither washing or
dry cleaning-that is, wet cleaning.
In wet cleaning, special soaps
and lukewarm water are used.
The garment or fabric is laid out
on a board and brushed by hand
gently. 1t is also important that
the process be completed quickly.
This is quite different from the
lengthy treatment with warmer wa
ter involved in washing. Even nom
fast colors can often be handled
satisfactorily under these circum-
stances.
Homemakers can take a tip from
the dry cleaner to keep wash clothes
in condition between washing, or
postpone washing or pressing when
the garment is only wrinkled, by
sponging lightly Immediately on re-
moving.

Berlin Rule

The rule in Berlin has been split,
and for the first time the American
and British military governments
have moved in and taken up their
responsibilities in the German capt.
tai.
Rules and regulations established
in American and British zones of
Berlin, as established by the Red
army, will remain in effect until
General Clay and General Lyme and
their stats can formulate perma-
nent methods of operation. Russian
policy has been declared to be
more realistic than those adopted
by other Allies in other sections, and
high sources seem to think there
will be little change made in Ber-
lin.
Each Allied military government
will provide food, coal and other
necessities from their part of &C.
cupied Germany to take care of
German civilians within Berlin.
There will be exchanges of differ
ent kinds of goods among the Brit
ish, American, French and Russian
authorities due to scarcities of
some items in different sections.

JAP HOSPITAL SHIP:
In Bad Shane

A japanese hospital ship, boarded
by an American naval party was
found to be dirty and overrun with
vermin. Food and medical supplies
yer entirely inadequate for the
1000 patients, who had been re-
moved from Wake Island under
truce.
Many of the Japs appeared to be
starving. A doctor admitted that
many would die during the night.
While the sick men were kept
clean, the wards and gaIleys were
filthy and insect-infested, and the
standard of cleanliness on the ship
was below par everywhere. A stencil
emanated from the ship that could
be smelled 1000 yards away.
Curiously. the Jap officers were
polite and anxious to please. The
skipper offered American officers
tea and liquor. He was interested
in American baseball, as he had
played third base on a Jap navy
team, and vas especially inter
ested in the present standing of
the Yankees.

Transport Differs

On water as on land, all kinds Of
methods of transportation are found
among the republics to the south.
High up on Lake Titicaca, II, 500 feet
above sea level, sail traditional '+to-
tora" boats, named after the reeds
from which they are woven. These
boats or "balsas" glide along un-
der sails also made of totora, while
river boats, ocean-going freighters,
and barges are other links Of Latin
America with the worlds COM
merce. On the rim of the continent
are great ports on whose modern
docks ocean liners load and un-
load precious merchandise. Above it
all is heard the hum of planes, the
hundreds of passenger and freight
planes that fly daily on the sky lanes
of the Americas. Trips that used to
take many days by mule pack can
be made in an hour or two by air.
From Mendoza, Argentina, planes
make the hop over the Andes TO
Chile. From La Paz they cut swift
ly overland to Sac Paulo. Brazil.
From Barranquilla, Colombia, they
wing over the Caribbean to Havana
and Miami. In 1913 there were 49,
929 miles of air routes in 20 Latin
American countries. Even though
the challenge that lies ahead in the
field of transportation is formidable,
by working together in the inter
American spirit of cooperation" the
Americas have and can accomplish
what might have seemed impossible.

In a courtroom cleared of spec tators, Winifred Ibach, co-defend- ant with her husband, Horace Ibach, in the triple-charge case now being tried in U. s. District Court here, took the witness stand this morning to tell her story of how she had been forced to submit to the attentions of the complain ing witness, Cecil w. Hubbard.
 Mrs. Ibach was still on the stand today when noon recess was taken, and had reached that point in her testimony dealing with the events of the day on which the crimes are alleged to have occurred. The witness testimony this morning was long-drawn, with repeated ad- mentions by the Court to confine her answers to actions that had occurred. The Court made this rul- ing in response to objections to the witness repeating of conver- sations which the Government averred, were self-serving.
