TO LOOK BEFORE
PULLING TRIGGER
Lansing, Mich. U.R) Michi
gan conservation officers are
campaigning to teach hunters to
look before they shoot as the
annual toll of hunter tragedies
rises.
Each year hundreds of does,
protected by law, are slaughter
ed by hunters who fail to iden
tify their game before pulling
triggers on high-powered rifles.
Nervous and excitable nimrods
also exact a shocking human
toll simply because they shoot
first and look later, game war
dens declare.
Amazingly enough, state rec
ords are filled with tragic stories
of sportsmen who killed or
wounded other hunters because
they "mistook" them for deer or
bear.
With a record number of a
quarter-million deer hunters in
the woods this year, one hunter
was seriously wounded when a
companion mistook him for a
porcupine.
Victim's Fault Often
Another was shot in the arm
when he raised his hands while
wearing white canvai gloves.
Andther hunter told state police
he thought he saw a pair of deer
antlers.
While most hunting mishaps
are the fault of the shooter, the
victim himself often gets the
blame.
One greenhorn reasoned that
if he adorned himself with ant
lers he could act as a decoy to
some unsuspecting buck. He
rigged the horns to his cap and
set out into the woods. Five
minutes later he was killed with
a shot between the eyes.
Another foolish hunter don
ned a heavy black fur coat. He
was instantly killed by a nimrod
who was sure he had felled a
sizable black bear.
Shoots At Truck
Property damage also runs
high during Michigan's deer sea
son. A few years ago a hunter
unloaded his automatic rifle at
a brown object moving through

the brush. He found he had been
shooting at a CCC truck, wound
ing several youths.
Still another hunter spotted a
deer through thick foliage. He
fired but the deer remained
motionless. The hunter fired
again with the same result. Then
he blazed away with ah his am
munition. The buck still failed
to move. Advancing cautiously,
the exuberant hunter found he
had been shooting at a dead
deer already bagged by some
other hunter and tied across the
hood of a car. His rifle shots had
riddled the machine.
Game wardens also like to
cite the story of two farmers
who went out to "shine" deer
at night. They drove into the
woods with a team of horses and
then separated, each wearing a
flashlight attached to their caps.
A few minutes later, two shots
echoed through the stillness.
"Oxel," one hunter called to
his companion. "Did you get
something?"
"Yeah," came the abashed re
ply, "but it's got a harness on
it." The hunter had killed one
of his own horses.

Chicago, Dec. 13 U.R)- Two
suspects in the lipstick slaying
of Frances Brown, 33, an attrac
tive ex-Wave, were questioned
today as police methodically
plodded through half a hundred
other clues.
Investigators declined to be
specific concerning new clues
which they said were too num
erous to classify in detail.
One school of thought in po
lice circles was that the killer,
who left a note written in lip
stick on the apartment wall
where the body was found stab
bed, shot and beaten, was a wo
man. Others suspected that the
crime was committed by a lithe
but powerful man who swung
from a fire escape landing across
an open space to enter the six
floor apartment.
Arthur Dierlamm, 49, an In
surance salesman, was scheduled
for a psychopathic hearing after
police were told that he had
boasted of knowing n.ore about
the case than police.

Hollywood, Dec. 13 (U.R
Singer Ella Logan, home from
two years of overseas entertain
ing, said today that GI's were
fraternizing with German wom
en who were "Storm Troopers

FAILED TO
Paris (U.R) Six years of
war occupation and malnutrition
didn t hurt the French mental
outlook any. In fact, despite
everything the Germans did to
drive them crazy, the contrary
Frenchmen kept getting saner
and saner all the time, alienists
insist.
Perhaps it was Just one more
justification of the resistance
movement, but whereas 6.000
Parisians became insane in 1938,
the figure dropped to 4,200 in
1941, to 3,250 in 1942 and 2,600
in 1943. Although figures for
France as a whole were not
available, the trend was report
ed to be the same.
Germans Grab Liquor
One potent reason for the
falling off of the insanity inci
dence rate was the fact that the
Germans grabbed off most of
the hard liquor as well as the
best wine. Consequently, the
number of cases of insanity due
to alcoholism dropped from 900
for the Seine department, com
prising Paris and vicinity, in
1938, to only 50 in 1943.
However, the principal factor
In the startling decrease in
French insanity was the actual
hardships which they suffered,
according to one of the leading
Parisian psychiatrists, who in
dicated it isn't the troubles you
have that drive you crazy, but
rather the ones you imagine you
have when you have nothing to
do but sit around and worry
about them.
Meat Scarce
A woman trying to figure out
how to feed a family on a ration
of one-fifth of a pound of meat
a week per person, which the
butcher doesn't have, is not
nearly as strong a candidate for
the booby hatch, the psycholo
gists claim, as the woman who
leaves the housework to the
maid while she idly munches
chocolate eclairs and worries
about getting fat and whether
her husband still loves her.
The psychiatrist warned the
French government, however,
not to start converting the in
sane asylums into girls' board
ing schools, since the same drop
in the insanity rate occurred
during the wars of 1870 and
1914, but after the wars were
over and the people didn't have
anything more to worry about,
they imagined bigger and better
worries and drove themselves
Insane faster than ever.
TWO SCARLET FEVER
PATIENTS IN COUNTY
Two cases of scarlet fever, one
reported from Trail and one
from Central Point, were listed
on the weekly report of com
municable diseases from the of
fice of Dr. A. Erin Merkel, coun
ty health officer.
Four cases of mumps were
listed, all from Trail, and one
case of measles from Medford.
One case of whooping cough was
also reported for Medford and
four cases of chicken-pox were
on the list, one from Gold Hill
and three from Medford. One
case of trench mouth was listed
for Medford.
TROOP TRAIN RAMMED
Chicago, Dec. 13 (U.R) Rail
road and navy officials sought
today to determine the cause of
an accident in which a Pere Mar
quette passenger train rammed
the rear of a troop train, injur
ing nearly 100 naval personnel.
The injured, mostly negro sail
ors en route from the Bain
bridge, Md., base to the naval
depot at Shoemaker, Calif., were
taken to South Side hospitals
for first aid treatment
VETS FLOCK HOME
Camp Anza, Cel., Dec. 13
(U.R) The debarkation center
here today expected a record
100,000 Pacific veterans to pass
through this month, Lt. Col.
Thomas Meyer, officer in charge,
said. The figure for November
was 68,000.
The St. Louis-San Francisco
railroad doesn't go near San
Francisco, nor does the Minne
apolis and St. Louis railroad go
near St. Louis.
