Fire Insurance is as necessary to your SECURITY as police
protection. It is the one thing that stands between you and
financial ruin. Rather than be without Fire Insurance protec-
tion, a man had better sacrifice a few luxuries, even necessities,
to buy it. If a man can buy gas for his automobile, he can pay
an insurance premium — and such a man gets little sympathy
when he has an uninsured fire loss. Think it over!

Some psychiatrists think that is
what happened to Justice Joseph.
Force Crater, the New York jurist
who disappeared from Times Square
some years ago after making a big
withdrawal from his bank account.
Police figures show that more than
90 per cent of men who disappear
come back. Justice Crater is one who
didn’t.
in these cases. Doctors explain that
because the man involved is not
usually of outstanding mental abil-
ity, his wife gradually assumes the
leadership in their life. Subcon-
sciously, he rebels against this, al-
though his conscious answer to the
question of whether his married life
was happy most probably would be
yes.
The second type of patient acts
much the same, although his ailment
is organic rather than psychological.
He suddenly stops something he is
doing, and goes somewhere. He is
usually missing only from one day to
a week. .
The third type is what the psychia-
trist calls a deliberate maligner. He
knows what he is doing, knows he
should not do it, but does not have
the mental stamina to stay and face
whatever trouble may confront him.
He walks off, and stays away.
Justice Crater Cited
The trouble in this case may be a
woman, it may be money, or it may
be that the man has merely reached
middle age and is unhappy in his vo-
cation. The famous artist, Gauguin,
for example, quit being a banker and
disappeared into the South Seas be-
cause he wanted to paint.
There are men in this country,
known only to their doctors, who
have broken off successful careers in
one part of the Nation and deserted
their families to go elsewhere to take
up other vocations and become fa- ' cheaper than our modern sawmills.

WASHINGTON. — “Hands off the
Supreme Court” circulars, bearing
the letters “KKK,” showed up Satur-
day in congressional mail.
Senator Pope, Democrat, Idaho, ex-
hibited a typical “message”—a scar-
let picture of a hooded horseman,
brandishing a fiery cross. “KKK”
was on his robes.
(KKK is an abbreviation of Ku
Klux Klan, which uses the fiery
cross and robes in its ceremonies.
The circular did not say specifically,
however, that it was from the Klan.)
The circular carried the printed
legend: “Warning, Communism must
be destroyed.”
“Hands off the Supreme Court”
was crudely lettered across the bot-
tom in red crayon.

The areas
shown above, as designated by AAA
chiefs in Washington and announced by
the Texas Extension Service, indicate sec- k -
tions to which special provisions of the 1937 g
Agricultural Conservation Program apply as T
of February 24.
In area 1 the Southern Regional program ap-
plies.
In area 2 the range conservation program and the
Southern Regional program are both in effect.
Area 3 is the wheat and grain sorghum section, and the range conservation program
also applies here.
Area 4 has been designed as the wind erosion section of the wheat and grain sorghum
area and is also included in the range conservation program.
cuts off his memory of them—and of
everything else associated with them,
including the victim’s name and ad-
dress.
2. Epileptic fugue, in which the
victim suffers from epilepsy but
loses his memory temporarily instead
of being seized with convulsions.
3. Cons ci ous disappearance, in
which the victim, unable for some
reason to battle his worries face-to-
face, just drops everything, walks off
and starts life over again.
The first type is the man who
walks across the street on an errand
and disappears. He is under some
sort of mental strain, which his fam-
ily often does not know about and he
himself may not consciously suspect.
Usually the psychiatrists said, he is
not mentally brilliant and his mind,
unable to solve its problem directly,
solves it indirectly by just forgetting
about it. It may be days, or months,
before the man shows up in a police
station in some distant place seeking
his name and his address.

NEW YORK.—Scientists who ex-
plore the land of missing men
explained Saturday why men leave
home.
They said it’s a disease.
The ailment accounts for thou-
sands who drop out of sight of fam-
ily and friends each year—thousands
who vanish with no warning and for
no apparent reason—thousands who
are not seen again for days, months,
years and sometimes never.
Such stories are in the news
tuinally. Just the other day a
who was supposed to have
drowned in 1928 came back to life
1,000 miles away.
All men who disappear belong to
one of three types, said psychiartrists
of the New York Academy of Medi-
cine. To understand any of the three
you must travel the hazy land of
mental quirks which science is just
beginning to map.
The three types are:
1. Hysterical amnesia, in which the
victim becomes so worried by his
troubles that his mind automatically

PHILADELPHIA. — Unless soil
wastage is stopped immediately,
losses from erosion in the next fifty
years in this country will amount to
$30,000,000,000 (billions), Hugh Ben-
nett, chief of the Soil Conservation
Service, warned the Philadelphia
Forum in a special address today.
Pointing to the damage already
done — 100,000,000 acres have been
ruined—Mr. Bennett said Americans
had squandered their resources
worse than any other nation, civil-
ized or barbaric. He estimated that
about 75 per cent of the farm land
has been affected by erosion in some
way.
He brought the matter close to
home when he said that soil control
is the basic, remedy for floods. Penn-
sylvania in the last few years has
had some of the worst floods in his-
tory. Gullies, he added, which are
caused by erosion, become man-made
tributaries which speed up the con-
centration of surface water in head-
water streams.

NEW ORLEANS.—Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, here on a lecture tour,
said today she carries a pistol when
she rides alone in her motor car and
that she “can use it.”
“I am never accompanied by
guards in New York or Washington
where everybody knows me,” Mrs. „
Roosevelt said at a press conference. ,lom ?e Yme vacclueros
“I go about just as anybody else.
However, when I travel there are
usually special guards furnished me,
but they are not detailed at my re-
quest.”
“Don’t you have fear
harm?” she was asked.
“It never enters my mind,” she re-
plied pleasantly.
Of the pistol the President’s wife
said she had the same training “that
the New York National Guard has.”
drove herds across Mexico, through
the colorful days of the longhorn, in-
cluding the modern Texas cowboy
tending his shorthorn cattle.
Working Model Made
A working model of the “Caval-
cade of the Americas” set has been
perfected, showing that many new
departures in scene effects, sound
equipment and pantomimic stages
will be used.
“The new ‘Cavalcade’ will be even
a greater feature of the 1937 exposi-
tion than the ‘Cavalcade of Texas’
was to the 1936 fair,” Mr. Vollmann
confidently predicted. “Attendance
will surpass even the records set at
the first spectacle.”
Reconstruction of the Fair
race track grand stand and
stage for the show will begin soon.
DALLAS. — More great historical
personages will be portrayed by ac-
tors in the 1937 “Cavalcade of the
Americas” at the Texas Pan Ameri-
can Exposition than have ever been
incorporated into a dramatic produc-
tion before, Producer A. L. Vollman
revealed Thursday.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt at
the Buenos Aires peace conference of
1936, Theodofe Roosevelt recruiting
his Rough Riders in the plains coun-
tries and then leading them in vic-
tory at San Juan Hill, George Wash-
ington in his inaugural and Christo-
pher Columbus setting foot on the
new world will all be choice roles on
the gigantic stage where the theme
of liberation of the Western World
will be woven into one spectacle.
But some of the events Texas and
the United States are proudest of will
go unmentioned to avoid any chance
of offending countries of Central and
South America. Gen. Sam Houston,
central figure of last year’s “Caval-
cade of Texas,” will be missing from
the new list of players.
No Monroe Role
President James Monroe and his
famous doctrine declared in an effort
to restrain European nations from
interfering in South American affairs
will also go unmentioned, for a simi-
lar reason. If it is referred to at all,
the Texans’ stand at the Alamo will
receive only scant time on the open
air stage.
Early scenes in the show will re-
count tribal rites of North and South
American natives, interrupted by ar-
rival of Christopher Columbus’ fleet.
A spectacular scene will be afforded
the audience by mecanisms being
worked out to show Columbus’ ships
in the distance, directly in front of
the audienqe, before they are shown
actually landing in the immediate
foreground.
Men famous for early develop-
ments in the southern portion of Pan
America who will be portrayed will
include Casso Nunez de Balbos, Piz-
zaro, conquerer of Peru, Cortez and
Montezuma.
In the northern locales, scenes
from the American revolution will
be re-enacted. Great historical char-
acters in that group will include
Washington, the British general,
Cornwallis; Patrick Henry, Justice
John Marshall of the Supreme Court,
and the French general Layfayette.
Two Great Liberators
Bolivar and San Martin, the
great liberators of South America,
will have prominent parts in some of
the scenes. Stephen F. Austin, Ellis
P. Bean and James Bowie will be the
best known early Texans portrayed.
Lee Christmas and other soldiers
of fortune who drifted into the
Southern countries and took part in
revolutions will receive no recogni-
tion in the spectacle, Vollman de-
clared. “We believe those upheavals
are too incidental for inclusion in a
show following such a grand theme,”
Vollmann explained.
One of the most spectacular se-
quences of the entire show will be a
complete evolution of the cowboy,
COLLEGE STATION.—Ten years
of research have produced four new
yellow corn varieties to Texas farm-
ers through seedmen and seed grow-
ers, P. C. Mangelsdorf, agronomist
for the Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, has announced.
The varieties are Yellow Surcrop-
per, Golden Thomas, Yellow Tuxpan
and Golden June. The experiment
program was designed to introduce
yellow corn into the productive and
proved white varieties in this State.
Last spring the Texas Experiment
Station distributed 100 bushels each
of the first seed of Yellow Surcrop-
per, Yellow Thomas and Yellow
Tuxpan. This year the station will
have several hundred bushels of reg-
istered seed of Yellow Surcropper
here and an equal amount of Golden
Thomas at Beeville for distribution
to seed producers at a nominal price
to defray expense of increasing it.
Yellow Tuxpan may be bought from
seed growers in the Gulf Coast re-
gion and Golden June distributed for
the first time last fall is available in
limited amounts here and at stations
in Chillicothe and Lubbock.
Golden June is adapted to the
State west of the thirty-inch rainfall
line, and for late plantings, is
adapted in all parts of Texas as well
as in part of Louisiana, Arkansas and
Oklahoma. Yellow Surcropper is
suitable for planting in the less fer-
tile soils and is among the high pro-
ducing varieties in every part of the
State. Yellow Tuxpan is suitable for
irrigated areas of South and South-
west Texas and the heavy blackland
of the Gulf Coast region. Golden
Thomas is suitable for the corn-
growing region around San Antonio.
Until the yellow color was bred
into Surcropper and other popular
varieties of white corn there were
no varieties of yellow-corn available
in the State that would yield on the
fertile soils of Central Texas.
Records show that the best white
corn varieties yielded about 12 per
cent more than the best of the old
yellow varieties, and since the high-
yielding strains of white corn have
had the yellow character bred into
them with a resulting yellow grain
rich in Vitamin A, the farmer is able
to produce as high yields of yellow
corn as he can of white corn.
The new breeds were produced by
a careful cross pollination. Corn
breeders are as careful in pollination
processes as livestock breeders are
in mating.
“Results like these serve to show
how science is helping agriculture,”
Mr. Mangelsdorf concluded.
