Human 'ScarecrOW'
Found in COrnfield
Regains His Voice
Man Thought Living in
Half Fantasy and
Half Reality.
BY the Associated Press.
DENVER. Colo. October 1o-The

DENVER, Colo, October 10-The
"Scarecrow Man" is no longer mute.
Charles Mays Of Beardsley, Kans.,
yesterday gave voice to speech fer the
first time since he was brought to the
Colorado Psychopathic Hospital here
from a cornfeld near Holyoke Colo,
where he was found with his body rigid
and arms extended last Sunday
Although Mays talked incoherently,
physicians believe that within short
time he may be able to intelligently
answer questions asked him. Mays was
identified Thursday by his brother,
Wesley Mays of Beardsley.
After hours of observation, psy-
chtatrists have diagnosed the scare
crow mans case as schizophrenia. or
a split-mind. He lives, they said, in a
world of half fantasy and half reality.
Persons suffering from this mental dis
order are unable, they said, to aSso-
ciate the reality of life with the unreal.

,"Innumerable personalities have i'm

but to some extent it labors under the

"a community expresses individu-

this lack Of civic spirit in complete

NANCY PACE
Formal Curtains Belong in
Gracious Rooms.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.
BY FLORENCE LA CAME.

The gracious dignity Of the Georgian
rooms Is calling for more formality in
hangingS and wall coverings The simple
rusticity of the provincial furniture and
furnishings is not in keeping with state
ly Georgian, nor with It's compatriot in
Germany-Beider furniture. This.
as Nancy Earned, a few weeks ago is
gaining in popularity, especially in
families where the ancestry is German.
The English families veer toward the
Georgian. Directoire furniture and
rooms are coming in also. The Direc-
toire represents the French influence.
It has something of the classicism Of
the Greeks, at least in so far as the
draperieS are concerned. Here, fer in
stance, is drapery which Nancy
clipped for future use. 1t has the "swag''
which interior decorators are referring
to so frequently And the swag hangs
in folds down the sides of the curtain.
The valance, which used to be fitted
few years ago. is now less restrained
and hangs gracefully with q slight
drop or curve.
In a room which needs space and has
windows too close together, Nancy
found decorator would increase the
apparent size by the use of wooden
scalloped valance and mirror panel
The effect Is gained by extending the
curved wooden valance across the two
adjoining windows and the intervening
space as well. In the narrow space be-
tween windows is put up mirror. A
table set between the windows can have
tole vase with flowers These are
reflected in the mirror. The llangings
are long. too long for cleanliness but
not bit too long for style. They rest
on the floor itself And that means
careful putting up out Of the way before
the vacuum cleaner is used.

Everyday Psychology
The Balanced Mind.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowrs.

When you speak of persons possess
Ing balanced mind or an unbalanced
mind, you are not thinking of educa-
ton or training in specialized pursuits.
Inc balanced mind refers to something
more fundamental than the accident OF
artificial environmental influences.
A balanced mind is one that is char
acterized by harmonious setting Of the
emotions. The poSseSsor of a balanced
mind has fairly good opinion Of HIM

sanity is noticed when the individual
begins to feel that he amounts 10 moth
ing. At least. that situation will answer
Tor great many cases that eventually
ma their way TO mental Sanitarium
wholesome amount Of egotism is a
sign Of mental balance The cases of
extreme egotIsm found in asylums, and
often out OF them. are very generally
compenSations for unadmitted failures.
A balanced mind may, on occasion.
become emotionally aroused But it
never goes to extremes. Nor do such
states continue long.
balanced mind is, as a rule, free
from haunting fears and morbid ref1ec-
tons. There are no well defined COM
plexes, inhibitions or represSions. The
unbalanced mind is characterized by its
lack OF cheerfulness. Pessimlsn leads
to all sorts of Embellishments on the
social level OF existence. disorgan-
lied emotional life is sure to follow,
In order TO possess a balanced mind,
you need to take an interest in q fairly
wide variety of things The mental
diet should be even more varied than
the bodily diet for its functions are
relatively more complex
