FIND MISSING WOMAN
SAN ANTONIO. April 1, <JV
Weakened from exposure and near
ly unconscious. Mrs. Jo Hamma. 64.
who had been missing from her
home at Helotes since Monday
morning, was found only a few hun
dred yards from the home late to
day.
Searching parties which had been
over the vicinity for several miles
around for the past week, came up
on Mrs. Hanna in a wooded sec
tion on a farm adjoining the Ham
ma property about 700 yards from
the Hammas home.

Dr. Seth Benson, assistant cura
tor of mammals of the Museum of

sity of California, in a monograph
prepared for publication by the uni
! versity, said the protective colot a
tion was the result of natural selec
tion.
Benson established a camp In the

the mice at first hand for more
i than a month. The rodents, cal'ed
pocket mice because of the presence
of small cheek pouches, are noc
iturnal animals and much of the
work was carried on by moonlight.
In an extensive study, which aiso
took into account the possible ef
fect of climate and diet on the mice,
Benson eliminated these as fac*o-s.
Diet, temperature and humidity, he
decided, had no bearing on the
coloration of the rodents.
‘"Hie lava flows and the whi.e
sands In the basin are surrounded j
by and isolated from each other by
.stretches of alkali desert." Benson
sal dtoday. "It seems probable that
a concealing coloration has de
veloped as a result of natural selec
tion and isolation. In other woM.*,
dark mice. living in the black ba'k
ground, being better protected
against the ravages of birds irid
beasts of prey, survived because mica
with protective coloring lived and
passed on their protective color
characteristics.
"Similarly, mice with white, or
partly white, coloring, survived and
bred on the white sands, in *lme
this produced a white race, truly a
survival of the fittest.
"Larger mammals, able to range
between the black and white areas,
did not develop protective coloring.
The fact that the isolated ra-'es
have developed such coloraton is
explained by the fact they are not
exposed to Interbreeding with ani
mals not subjected to the same sort
of selection."

HITLER WELL
SATISFIED BY
msBOYcon
BERLIN. April 3. —Chancel
lor Adolf Hitler's national socialist
party appa ently was satisfied to
day that it had dealt a stunning,
if not a knockout, blow to what ;t
regards as an international Jewish
menace.
Resumption Unlikely
A resumption of Saturday's na
tionwide boycott which paralyzed
all Jewish commercial activity was
considered unlikely. Its announced
purpose, to force an end to the
spread r broad of stories of /inti
Jewish atrocities in Germany, was
believed achieved.
The Nazis also had reason to oe
satisfied with the permanent ef
fects of the great organized dem
onstration. The boycott was kept
alive unofficially yesterday in sev
eral towns in lower Silesia. There
have been hundreds of Jews dis
charged from businesses and many
more permanently eliminated from
medical and legal practice, from
teaching schools and from news
paper staffs.
(Reports from Switzerland said
200 Jews and socialist exiles were
arriving daily from Germany and
trains entering Denmark from Ger
many were crowded with Jewish re
fugees. Thousands more have been
reported arriving in Vienna, War
saw and other cities».
The I’azi leaders have made clear
that the machinery is all set up to
resume the boycott on quick notice,
if it is found necessary. Boycott j
committees in all towns have been
formed and the thousands of storm
troops ha\ - learned their duties.
Strong Opposition
But there were reports of strong
opposition being brought to bear
against a renewal of the boycott, i
Powerful industrial interests were
reported against such a move and
disaffection in the Hitler cabinet
was disclosed.
The nationalist party majority in
the cabinet had long been counted
upon by Jews to curb any radical
anti-semitic moves by the Nazis.
The disclosure of the attempt by
Konstantin von Neurath to r<
sign as foreign minister last fill
brought the explanation that he
opposed the boycott. He was per
suaded to keep his post by Vice
Chancellor Franz von Papen.

door. From a nearby express office
he telephoned the sheriff while five
employes and two patrons were
herded into the bank vault. The
robbers were unable to close the
vault door, however.
Knew Robbery Planned
As the bandit car sped away, '
Thompson drew another pistol and
shot out the rear window of the
machine. J. C. Walker, employe
of the Manufacturers State bank
across the street, emptied an
automatic pistol at the fleeing rob
bers.
Officers said they have been in
formed the robbery was being
plotted by a gang from the vicinity
of Kansas City and had hoped to
capture the bandits.
DALLAS PACKING
PLANT ROBBED
DALLAS. April 3.—UP)— Three
men armed with a machine gun
and automatic pistols today rob
bed the Adkins Packing company
in South Dallas of $1,500 in cash.
The men entered the office soon
after four persons opened the
building for the day and ordered
all of them to sit on the floor.
Then the man with the machine
gun asked who was in charge.
Henry Beck replied that he was
the manager. The leader of the
trio ordered him to open the safe,
or well blow up this place with
nitroglycerine.'’ Beck opened the
safe and the two other men scoop
ed up all the currency and cash in
sight.

‘GOLFER’PRINTS
LOCAL TOURNEY
An article about Brownsville
which is expected to be more wide
ly read by prospective tourists than
any other ever printed appears in
the April issue of The American
Golfer, foremost golf magazine of
the world, just off the press.
The article is entitled “The Right
and Left of It,” and tells about the
one-arm golf tournament wliich
was staged on the Brownsville
Municipal Golf course a short tune
ago between C. E. “Happy” Hen
derson of Harlingen and John
Herndon ol Mercedes.
It is illustrated with 19 photo
graphs, both the article and the
photographs being by H. G. $til
well Jr. of Brow’nsvlile. It calls at
tention to the Brownsville course
as the southernmost in the United
States. The one-arm tournament
was staged here through the ef
forts of the chamber of commerce,
with cooperation of The Browns
ville Herald, which donated cups
to the two players.
Henderson and Herndon were :
accompanied in the round by j
George Shine of Harlingen and
Chief George of Brownsville, pros,
who are mentioned in the article.
The American Golfer is edited
b> Grant land Rice. Bobby Jones is
