recognized that while Eva Rablcn might have been 32 years old physi- cslly, she was not more than l l years old mentally. Her mind, in fact, tallied no higher in reactions than that of her 11-year-old son, Albert Lee Brandon, a child of a previous mar riage. It was limited and unde veloped 1l-year-old mind, the psychol- ogists found, that prompted Mrs. Rab- len to kill her husband.
 In this happening, science and crim. inology have many parallels. The most recent and striking was the case Cf six-year-old Carl N Mahan, of Ken lucky, who killed his chum, Cecil Van hooSe The mind of the Mahan boy, irritated with Nanhoose, had reasoned that the way to end the irritation was to abolish Vanhoose. And so Mahan went into his fathers woodshed, took down a rifle from a shelf and poured bullets into the little body of his friend He was sentenced to fifteen years in a reformatory. but the case was appealed.
 It is readily admitted by psychol- cgists that childs mind sometimes tends toward such violence without thought of responsibility or worry. The child's love of violence and rough spec tacles is well known and understood Most adults have noted how children are thrown into laughter at Punch and-Judy show when Punch slams Judy, or at a circus when the clown falls and appears to hurt himself. As explained by scientists, children do not realize the element of injury and cruelty as a normal adult mind does.
 In the case of Mrs Rablen, she in. sisted that she and her husband had entered into a "suicide pact" but at the last moment she had lost her nerve But psychologists, reasoning as they did in the case of the six-year-old boy. decided that the child mind of Mrs. Rablen, longing for escape from d marriage that irked her, could think only of her freedom. So she moved in a direct, primitive and childlike way to remove the obstacle to her freedom her husband.
 As will be seen in study of her crime, she displayed certain maturity and cunning in planning and carrying cut the poisoning of her husband. But psychiatrists say this was juvenile cum. ming and that while she showed re. sponsibility in planning the crime she displayed none in conceiving the con sequences. Scientists are beginning to trace many of these defects in thinking and emotional reactions to
New Britain herald., 1929-07-27

faulty conditions of the human glands
 Before these explanations can be fully appreciated it will be necessary to go back, as the scientists did, to the beginning and trace and analI 4e the events that led up to the climax. Eighteen months before the tragedy Mrs. Rablen was living in Quanah, Texas. She answered an advertisement placed in San Francisco matrimonial paper by young Rablen and her core spondence reveals her immaturity. One letter reads:
 MT Raben. dear friend. You spoke about the boy. He has had no father since he was a month old. The father left me. l haven't seen him. If 8 man leaves me l don't want to see him"
 Thus her emphatic dismissal of her first husband. So Eva went to the Mother Lode country and was married and on the night of April 26, during a dance in the Tuttletown schoolhouse, she was one of the gayest of the merrymakers. All this time the mur- derous plot was in her mind, yet she was happy! Her husband, because he was slightly deaf and did not dance preferred to remain outside the hall in his automobile. Late in the evening" while refreshments were being served Mrs. Rablen carried plate of sand wiches and coffee out to her husband As Carroll drank his coffee. strains of Turkey in the Straw" from his fathers fiddle, came through the night Suddenly the dance rhythms were pierced by scream from Carroll. As the dancers rushed out, his father in the vanguard, Carroll cried:
 ''Papa-papa" His mind was slip ping back to boyhood. "Papa, the coffee was bitter-bttern
 Forty-five minutes later he died and authorities began an investigation which unearthed number of things that displayed the childlike cunning of Mrs. Rablen. Their first clue, of course. was the cup. An analysis of the dregs in the cup and Rablen's stomach revealed the presence of poison, Then on May the sheriff of Tuolumne County found in a patch of grass only few feet from the spot where Rablen's automobile had stood a bottle containing the strychnne.
 The bottle was traced to drug store in nearby Tuolumne City, the register bearing the signature for the purchase of Mrs. Joe Williams" The description of "Mrs. Williams" sug- gested Mrs Rablen. The sheriff asked the young widow to accompany

 In the face of these facts, civil au- thorities saw prcmeditation. But to scientists it revealed an emotional and mental instability. Eva Raben might have gone through life obaying thc laws of man, they said, had she not been presented with situation-'the desire for freedom, as she called it- that conquered her juvenile mind and that found no opposition in her low emotional resistance
 Scientists, still groping with such factors as these, have in many eases

From their studies of similar eases they be- licye they have discovered that those who have poor glandulal functioning always latent n their physical make up may move peacefully through life GntiI confronted with ther resultant harmful effect upon the mind and the emotions. In a more scientific manner, Er Lonis Berman, associate in hiolo-j. cal chemistry at Columbia University, puts it this way:

A CURIOUS flaw in the mech "A anism of human mind-a flaw
 that throws new light upon the scientific study of retarded mental and emotional development -re gently solved for the State of California one Of it's most baffling murder mysteries and saved from the gallows a woman who confessed to killing her husband
 On the night of April 26, while gay dance was in progress Tn the little town of Tuttletown, in the heart ot the Mother Lode country, Carroll B. Rablen, 34-year-old war veteran, drank a cup of coffee in which lurked a deadly dose of strychnine, and forty five minutes later died in agony.
 Within week guilt was fastened upon his 32-year-old mail order" bride, Eva, but mass of discriminatory eW- dence failed to shake her remarkably calm and dry-eyed insistence that she vas innocent. In the face of wit resses who identified her as the pur- chaser of the strychnine, others who told of her domestic quarrels and the testimony of her fatherinlaw that she sought her husbands life insurance benefits Eva remained obdurate
 But before the day set for her trial events moved with such rapldlty that on the very day the case was to come to court, Mrs. Rablen passed behind the gray walls of San Quentin prison, there to spend the remainder of her life For quite as unexpectedly as her husband had died, Mrs. Rablen sud denly confessed that she had served him the poisoned coffee.
 Why her sudden confession? For in spite of the mass of evidence against her, the murder of her husband might not have been completely solved. It was at this point that scientists dis covered the flaw in her mind for 1t be- came apparent that she was like a child who, overcome by vague super stitions and fears, finally broke down and confessed.
 The gallows might have been her doom had not psychologist, Dr. J. w.. Harris, of the College of the Pacific, who studied her case, declared that she had the mentality of child and was not fully capable of realizing the enormity of the crime of killing her husband But Superior Judge J. T. B. Warne, in sentencing her to life im- prisonment, recommended that she never be given parole and that her sentence never be conmuted.
 This solved for the authorities the strange case of Mrs. Eva Rablen, but 1t merely added new incentive and con lecture to psychologists, criminologists and psychiatrists in their untiring eff forts to probe the mysteries and de ficlencies of the human mind. Here was case which symbolized in a tragic form the results of arrested develop nent.

system 10 lnMDu another we have the germ of the unconscious. Hence the modus operandi of the repressions and expressions, compensations and dis sociations, which may unite to in tegrate or refuse to integrate, and so disintcgrate and deteriorate per sonality"
 In other words, if sciences reason ing be accepted, Mrs. Rablen's gland ular condition may have been per- fectly harmless to herself and to the world until she began to be ridden by expressions and repressions. The idea of removing her husband rose in her mind and once it was formed she was not strong enough to fight it off. AL ready her "personality" may have be- gun to diSintegrate and deteriorate.
 That this personality collapsed en- tlrelY for the same reasons outlined above was indicated when, after short wait in jail for her trial, set for June 10, she suddenly broke down and con. fessed that she had poisoned her hus- band. Childish superstitions and fear played as easily upon her deteriorated "personality" as had the idea of mur- dering her husband.
 
 bothered her was demonstrated when, upon making her confession, she said {:
 "Quarrels, quarrcls, l was sick and tired of them. We talked things over. It was decided we should both commit suicide. But couldn't bring myself to do it. Finally l decided to poison him. It was the best way out, 1 thought. Now they want to hang me. Why should they hang me? could only put him out of the way because felt it was the only way to get my freedom"
 Thus, psychologists pointed out, to the day she went to prison she revealed @ childish lack of conception of the wrongness of her deed. Prison au- thorities say she is quite contented in San Quentin-happy that burden has been taken off her mind.
 But scientists are not contented. They seek, not only in Eva Rablens case, but in many others similar to t, the final explanation of mental retard- ation.
 Its importance, particularly in the case of Mrs. Rablen. can be found in this observation of Dr. German:
 Even after middle age" he says, some individuals retain the juvenile mind of youth. Like the Bourbons, they have learned nothing and for gotten nothing. Their prepituitary in- sufficiency, often coupled with post pituitary excess, and other instabili- ties and disequilibriums in the en- dOcrine system, render them immature morons. They are people who are old enough to know better"
 Thus, in the case of Mrs. Rablen. 1t is possible that her poorly developed rrepituitary action may have retarded her mental development, in spite of the fact that, in Dr. Germans words, she was "old enough to know better"
 If such outstanding laboratory ases" as Eva Rablen serve to spur psychologists and scientists generally n their determined efforts to correct some of the evils of mankind even the tragic incident of the California Mother Lode country may not be en. tirely a blow to civilization.

The week of October 6-12 has been
designated by President Hoover as
Fire Prevention Week. The annual
observance of this week, says Secre-
tary of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde,
undoubtedly has contributed mate
rally to the cause of human safety
and well-being.
Following the Presidents an
nouncement on fire losses in general,
Secretary Hyde called attention to
farm fire losses in the following
statement:
1.-THE farmer has as much reason
as the city dweller or any other own
er of property, to interest himself in
these special annual campaigns
against fire.
"The loss on farms and in rural
communities due to fires has been
estimated to have been as high as
$500 lives and $15O,00O,00O worth of
property in a single year. The rural
population of our Nation should give
serious and constructive thought to
this problem and make special eff
forts to eliminate needless fire
losses.
lightning, defective chimneys
and fiues, sparks on combustible
roofs, matches, smoking, spontan-
eous ignition of agricultural prod
ucts, careless use and storage of gas
oline and kerosene, faulty wiring and
improper use of electric appliances,
continue to be the principal known
aancac Of firac on farms
"The individual has it in his pow
er to combat these hazards, and
urge that he do his utmost to safe
guard his family and property
against the fire menace. Periodic
cleanup and inspection of premises
will remove many serious fire haz-
ards.
"The U. S. Department of Agri-
cure has a special committee on
farm fire protection, which is ac-
lively cooperating with interested
national organizations in an effort
to reduce the losses from fires on
farms and in rural communities.
Rural volunteer fire departments,
equipped with modern motorized ap-
paratus, are receiving merited and
widespread attention, and represent
investments which pay dividends in
fire protection, especially where good
roads have been provided.
"The rural fire prevention and
continuous effort by all concerned,
with the common end in view of con-
serving national resources, both in
lives and materials"

these Unconstitutional fields although
the weather this past summer was
not the most favorable for tomato
production. AS the tomato season
is not over, it is impossible at this
time to give the results from this
project, but observations have been
made of the general condition of the
crop as it was being picked during
the period of cool and damp weather
which followed the extreme drough
of last summer.
That the Marglobe is a very salts
factory variety for commercial can
ming, however, is being clearly dem
onstrated this season by those farm
ers who grew this tomato for the
canning factories, as is being shown
by the increased yields per acre and
the favor which this particular va
riety is meeting with the Gamers.

feed equal parts of wheat and oats
during the first part Of the fattenlng

as the weather gets cooler. A grain
ration of oats, wheat, and corn Is
probably the best. Old corn is mucn
