18 CONVICTS SET FIRE T0 TEXAS PRISON Tubercular Inmates Irate Over Discovery of Tunnel. By the Associated Press. HUNTSVILLE, Tex., October 3.—Tu- bercular convicts, irate because prison officials had discovered a tunnel under the building in which they were housed on the Wynne State Prison farm near here, yesterday set fire to the building, and the flames destroyed it as well as four other structures. None of the convicts escaped. and none was injured. The 56 prisoners were herded together in a yard by eight guards when the blaze was discovered. The fire started when one of the tuber- cular prisoners touched a match to paper which had been stuffed in the walls of the building. Before guards and other convicts could interfere, flames had spread to the building for blind prisoners, the laundry, the power house and the water tower. Undermined, the water tower collapsed, leaving firemen :'nhout water with which to combat the laze. Capt. J. H. Spates, manager of the prison farm, said convicts had dug a tunnel five feet underground and 20 feet long through which they had planned to escape last night. The tunnel was discovered by prison officers Sunday, and the prisoners threatened revenge. D. W. Averitt, assistant general man- ager of the Texas prison system, esti- mated it would take $15,000 to replace THE _EVENING STAR., WASHINGTON, TESTS TO CURE GOITRE MADE ON HERD OF MRS. McCORMICK Seaweed Fed to Cows to Pro- duce lodine Preventive in Milk. Experiments on Fine Hol- steins Show More Than Ef- fective Results. By the Associated Press CHICAGO, October 3.—Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick's Holstein herd, one of the finest in the Midwest, has been turned over to science, seeking a pre- ventive and cure for common goitre. Since July 1 the herd of Mrs. Mc- Cormick, Republican nominee for Rep- resentative at large, has been the sub- ject of experiments conducted under the | direction of Prof. George W. Cava- naugh, head of the department of chemistry at Cornell University. By feeding powdered seaweed to the cows the scientists have produced milk with an iodine content sufficient to serve as a preventive and possibly as a cure for goitre, Prof. Cavanaugh an- nounced. Prior to the tests the milk from the McCormick herd was free of iodine. After the experiment had progressed several weeks the milk was found to contain 306 parts of iodine iir a million. The seaweed was mixed with regular feed. Samples of the iodized milk were found to retain flavor and food quality. The iodine content was said to be more tha# sufficient, doctors declaring that a minimum of from 150 to 200 parts of iodine in a billion is necessary to MRS. RUTH HANNA McCORMICK. of the show places of the Illinois countryside in her Rock River farm, where the iodized milk experiments have been conducted. She offered her herd for the tests when scientists ex- pressed a preference for conducting the experiments in the heart of what phy- sicians have called the “goitre belt.” Australian to Lecture.

The guides stole away at night. The green troops lost their way 4n the arid sandy wastes. The water ran out, then the food. And the camels rwandered off and died. Two weeks later in the glaring heat of the desert, the relief train found them—a group of desperate haggard men, almost dead from thirst and starvation, sitting on the packs the camels had carried. And all the while, the packs held \biscuits and wine! \For years the American people have ibeen sitting upon the priceless packs iof their own credit. Lately, they have been looking into those packs, discov- ‘ermg luxuries, advantages and oppor- tunities no other people in history They have found the automobile— magic chariot that annihilates time and distance, and brings the whole world closer.

(Most musical instruments are bought on deferred payments.) They have found homes—houses more comfortable than any king's castle, more durable, better looking. (Who ever pays cash for a house nowadays?) They have found furniture—finer than even the wealthiest families in the world could own a few genera- tions ago. (Nine out of ten families furnish their homes on some sort of deferred payment plans.) They have found surcease from care and deliverance from drudgery in time and labor saving devices—electrical appliances, mechanical refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, oil-burning heating plants.

And in the last few years, some half-million of them—enterprising, commonsensed, ambitious — have found clothing in their marvelous credit packs! Today, there are fifty- six Goldman stores serving them. These Goldman customers are not customers because we extend credit— but because they found out that we are better purveyors of clothing than the average local so-called “cash store.” Goldman Stores are clothing stores first; and credit stores after- wards—a long way after! They have discovered better values.
