 We feel that you, as one of the gen erous contributors to the Arkansas Texas Tornado Disaster Relief fund, are due a statement of conditions in the storm swept area and an explana- tion of rhe manner in which the relief funds are being accounted for and spent
 Approximately, six hundred fami- Hes sustained heavy losses of home, household goods. buildings and farm products. The financial condition O. the cotton country render the condi- ton of these people even more serious
 Local response to the call for funds has been most generous. The Amer ican Red Cross is carrying all admin istration expense out of national oper- ating funds, and, in addition, has ap- propriated q sum sufficient to care for immediate emergencies. In or der to help these unfortunate families to a basis of self-support more funds are needed.
 It is hoped that you will inform cit izens business houses and organiZa tions in your community of this need for additional funds and urge that they send contributions to American Red Cross. Southwestern Division. 4 arkansas-Texas Disaster Relief Head quarters, Texarkana, Ark.-Texas.

Criminals Exploit Mentally Deficient

Psychiatrists have long recognized the tendency among mental deficients towards crimnality. It appears that this tendency is now being discovered and exploited by the criminal classes themselves.

Marcel Briand and Borel presented boy, aged fourteen, who had on two occasions been used as tool of professional thief IL Is clear that If this practice is at all widespread many mentally deficient children with out criminal tendencies in the first place may very soon acquire them. These children, incapable of moral judgment. as they often are, should be specially protected by society. which In defending them will at the same time be protecting its own interests.

 "I'll never forget the first time went to see the dentist on profes. ional business. I had been entertaining a rip-snorting toothache for several days. The agony was so great that It would take the pen of Dante to do justice to 1t. Yet I couldn't muster up enough courage to go to the dentists. l had heard so many stories of the atrocious suffering one undergoes at his hands that my warlike spirit faltered. But finally the man who occupied the room next to mine came to my apartment armed with a large iron poker. and said that 1 had kept him awake for three nights, and the limit had been reached. If 1 didn't chase myself out of the house and let him have a nights dents in my skull.

In three or, perhaps, four shakes he was holding before my eyes the tooth which had caused all the anguish, and I was enjoying solid comfort once more.
 "Since that experience I look upon the modern dentist as a public bene- factor, and my one regret Is that l can't drop into his office every day or two and have a few teeth pulled. But all my original teeth were extracted by the painless process long ago, and the lignum vitae teeth l am now wearing are strangers to aches and pains.

Assuming that he enters Congress after
having established initial success in his pro-

all this and embark on a course that may be
gratifying to his vanity but which takes him
out of the race of life with other men. In

war there was general exodus Of wild
beasts from every quarter Of Africa where
any fighting was going on. They crashed
through the 1ungles for miles trying to get
away from the sound of the guns; they
travelled far from their real homes, and
enemies travelled together In their fright
without molesting one another. Since the
close of the war bushmen and hunters have
found them all back home again or travel
ling back. Their Indifference to the sounds
of the airplane, therefore, is surprising.

Uncertain as Congress

Jason HUMPHREYS, the twelve-year-
old English boy who few with his
father, the pilot, camera man and
a scientist from Cairo to Cape Town in
March, enjoyed more novel experience
than most boys Of his age will ever know.
Indeed. there are not many grown-up avn
ators who have seen the African jungle and
all its wild life from the air.
The sudden changes from bush to civiliza-
ton, as represented by clearings for small
villages and farms in darkest Africa. and
back again impressed young Humphreys
very much. Human habitation is hemmed
in on all sides by dense Jungle in Central
Africa, but not more so than the behavior
of the wild beasts and birds over which he
was flying. These took the passing of the
airplane vartously. Birds showed almost
no curiosity except in the remotest regions.
"They Just flew along with us or left u.s."
says Jason. This. 1t is said, is because birds
fly far. and during the years of the war
African birds undoubtedly saw flying ma
chimes IL not In Africa itself in the war
zones. then in other parts. They had grown
more or less used to them.
Wild beasts showed individual tempera-
ments. Lions, tigers. leopards could be seen
stalking along, oblivious to the giant purring
overhead. If the machine came so low that
the noise OF the engine could not help
