DEATH WARNED
FOR HOFFMAN

NEW YORK, March 81 G.N.S.)
Brooklyn was being secured today
for a mysterious man who tele-
phoned to Newark police head
quarters last night that Gov. Har-
old Hoffman Of New Jersey would
be assassinated tonight.
The man, who, police believe is
a Crank" telephoned from a
Brooklyn drug store pay station.
He spoke with John Fagan,
switchboard operator who quoted
him:
II want to deliver q message
to you. Your governor will be
aSSaSSinated tomorrow night"
Pagan asked the man to "hold
on" intending to connect him
with the office of Acting Capt.
Timothy Rowe, but the caller
protested:
mo, I won't hold on. You
deliver this message"
Then he hung up.
The call was Immediately traced
to the drugstore, but the man had
fled before patrolmen arrived and
the clerk could provide only the
vagueSt description of him.
Pagan said the man made no
mention Of Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann'S scheduled execution to-
night or of Governor Hoffman's
connection with the Lindbergh
case.

'If they execute my brother
tonight, an innocent man will
have gone to his death. Some
day the case will be cleared up,

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRoWLs.

d In. JESSE W. OF hO"Ao.
THE average man or woman believes
that dreams hold some signific-
ance for the future. They are not sure
Just what that significance is. But the
suspicion is strong. Otherwise cheap
and altogether useless dream books
would not have so large a sale. But
that's nothing to wonder about. Even
Freud, the greatest of all dream stu
dents, now and then hints that dreams
are prophetic.
Perhaps the problem may be ap-
preached from this angle: Your
dreams are generally mixtures. Mix
lures of what you were thinking about
during the day and similar thoughts
which you must have had months or
years before. All mental processes tie
up the past with the present. Like
wise, they tie up the present with the
future. If you look over your thoughts
for any day you will find they refer
more often to the future than they do
to the past or present. Since your
waking thoughts are made of such
stuff, you naturally infer that your
dream thoughts also have something
to do with coming events
Now and then your dreams CORE
spond with events that transpire later.
So do your waking thoughts In either
case you will find more non-corre-
spondence than correspondence. But
none of us pays attention to the non-
correspondence.

some of our native birds, forever
gone.
There are some very interesting
State farms and private breeding
establishments. Here are to be found
some of the most beautiful birds in
the world.
The Reeves pheasant is a native of
North and West China, and Is the
giant member of the pheasant clan.
His outstanding feature is his long
tail, that grows to be S feet or more
in length. He Is as lovely as q piece
of Persian embroidery. In fact, it is
claimed that the colors worn by this
royal bird are woven into the gar
ments worn by only those of royal
blood.
His feathers are golden and chest
nut colored. margined with black.
No other bird is so fastidious or dis
likes SO much to have his handsome
feathers bedraggled. His spouse, as
is true of all pheasants, is modestly
clad and self-effacing. While the
Reeves pheasant is the largest in size
and swiftest In flight, the birds are
not so easy to raise nor is the family
so large There are State farms in
Oregon, Connecticut and Massachu-
sets where the Reeves are being
reared successfully.
1t is well known to those acquainted
with these birds that they are de-
voted to their mates and ready at all
times to defend her and young. They
must have clean water. food and cages
in order to prosper. As there is a

old trick of getting into bunch OF
Sheep and having them kill the scent.
"Well, it's a good thing came out
when did. That Fox is going to be
fooled. I don't want any Foxes
around here"
So the farmer went out into the
field where the Dog was by now cir
cling around and criss- crossing this
way and that, trying to find the trail
of the young Fox where the Sheep had
been. Now and then he would get just
the faintest whiff of Fox scent, just
enough to tantalize him. The man
went out and whistled to him. He
whistled and called. Reluctantly the
Dog finally went to him.
Now all this time the young Fox
had been getting away from that
place as fast as she could. Having
made her escape from that flock of
Sheep, she was very thankful. OF
course she soon discovered that that
Dog had stopped barking. This
meant that he had lost the trail.
TN remember that" said the young
Fox to herself. 1T may come useful
later some time. l don't know what
those silly animals were, and I don't
want to get in the middle of lot of
them again quite the way did this
time, but I might be able to make
use of them, if it became necessary.
l would know better another time how
to make use of them. l would run
through among a lot of them before
they we're all so close together. Well.
I guess I'm lucky. I had a narrow
escape from being trampled to death,
but I guess I'm rid of that Dog at
last"
In this she was mistaken. She
might have been rid Of that Dog, had
it not been for that man. 1t would
have taken a long time for that Dog
to have worked out her trail after it
had been trampled over by all those
Sheep, even if he could done it at all.
The man who had called him knew
just which way that young Fox had
run. and he led that Dog right over
there. OF course the Dog got the fresh
scent at once, and away he went on
the trail once more. while the man
went back to the barn. stopping only
long enough to talk soothingly to the
flock Of Sheep huddled near the barn
yard gate.
The heart of the young Fox sank
when again she heard that voice and
knew by the steady baying that that
Dog was on her trail once more. She
began now to think of home. 1t
seemed the only possible escape from
that Dog. You see, being young Fox,
she had yet to learn many of the
clever tricks that had made her father
| and mother famous.

I II y
who Is thinking Of marriage:
Watch out for the girls family. Re-
member that you are marrying the
whole family. The parents, brothers
and sisters will make most Of the
trouble between you and your wife"
have always said that young mar
ried couples could and would work out
their own solutions, If the rest of the
family on both sides didn't spill the
beans. My own mother, with the best
intentions in the world, called my at
tention to the shortcomings of my
young wife. Fortunately, I was quite
in love with the girl.
Here's a sister who tells us how she
thinks her brothers should run their
homes:
Dear DIR. Dean:
Just recently. both of my BROTH
ers married. Bill. who has been work.
ing in fathers Office since he finished
high school two years ago, married q
very pretty and quiet girl. She is l8
now, but went only two years to high
school. Henry, who is older and has
been out of college for four years,
married a college girl.
Although Bills wife is not well
acquainted with social life, she is a
model wife. Bill Is very much in love
with her; not because she never makes
mistakes in the use of don't and
doesn't but because she's sweet and
clever in managing home. When he
comes home to visit, he always praises
her, for just the smallest things at
tract him-the way she labels all the
bottles in the medicine cabinet, the
way she wraps all the linens in wrap
| ping paper. or the way she folds and
pins his shirts. She keeps a budget
Of her household expenses and banks
all the money she saves in her hus-
bands name. When we walk in un-
expectedly at meal time, she is always
In q smart, starched house dress, and
the table is in perfect order. When
her window-box flowers are in bloom
there Is always an artistic centerpiece
in the dining table.
However, Harry Is less fortunate.
/ Wnlle ne WAS nome WIN us, we con-
stantly heard him boast about the fact
that he'd never marry some one who
was social wallf1ower.' Well, he did
The girl he married had Just finished
college and was a social bud When
he returns from the Office in the eve
ming he often finds note stating that
his wife is spending the afternoon at
this or that club. Many times he has
to wash and iron his own shirts, and
the house, although 1t is twice as large
as Bills home. is never kept neat and
tidy. Often we have walked into her
living room and have found stockings
and underwear on the radiators dry
ing She is not unreasonably extrava-
CANT, but she is wasteful To avoid
having to go home and heat up left
overs she frequents a nearby res
taurant. THE SISTER -IN-LAW."
My advice is: LET young people
run their own homes. II some want
their linens wrapped in paper and
their shirts nicely folded and pinned
it is o. K. with us. If some want
society and dirt more than housework
it's no affair of ours. Each to hi;
