Six Convicts Are Shot and
Two Cut IN Battle With
Prison Guards.
by Associated Press :

-
PITTSBURG, July 1s.-Prisoners
in the western penitentiary here
Monday broke all bounds Of disci-
pine. fired four buildings and for a
time kept the institution in an up
roar while the prison guards, dep
uty sheriffs and policemen, reinforced
by armed citizens, battled to put
down the disorders. six convicts
were shot and two others cut in the
battle. Prison officials said that
three or four Of the wounded prob
ably will die.
The outbreak timed 20 start with
the ringing Of the first fire gong, be-
gan in the dining room, where the
convicts sought to detract the atten-
ton Of guards from the fires, prison
officials said. Alarms sounded from
four places in the institution almost
simultaneously. when guards dis
covered the prisoners had fired the
buildings with any material avail
able.
Send Riot Calls
The guards IN the dining room
tried to quell the outbreak, but the
thoroughly maddened prisoners pelt-
ed them with tableware and cutlery
al the time shrieking and bowling.
The fire department. finding the
blaze beyond it's control, called the
city fremen, while riot calls were
sent in for the police.
Meantime the guard in the dining
room had regained in part their
control and forced some OF the men
back 20 their cells, but 200 or more
dashed for the prison yard, and
when faced by other guards. backed
into q building and ran for the top
OF tier OF cells. From this want
age point they pelted the guards
now reinforced by every available
man in the prison. with bricks torn
from the top of the wall. Deputy
sheriffs and police from every pre-
cinct in the city soon added to the
fighting force within the enclosure
and it was not long until the pris-
oners had been chased from the
wall to their cells. They signalized
their reincarceration by breaking
the glass in the windows and shrek
/ ing and bowling 20 the thousands

MORE THAN A TON OF
FOOD PER CAPITA

Secretary of Labor Davis in a re-
cent statement. showed that the aver
age American eats more than ton
of food in a year. "The exact
amount" he said, els 1854 pounds
per man per annum. In footing up
the cost of living, there's one thing
we've got to remember-we certainly
don't stint ourselves.
us such an appetite any better for
the body than for the pocket book :?
/ notice by these same statistics that
the average American wage Garner
manages to keep the spark of life in
his body on 1,775 pounds of food a
year, and if recollect rightly, the
American soldier did some pretty fair
work on that allowance.
"The medical authorities may make
what they please of these figures, /"
Mr.. Davis added, "but i notice that
the average japanese consume 905
pounds Of food per year and the aver
age Japanese adult gets only 80
pounds of fruit, as against $50 pounds,
the average with u.s."

ISOLATION has attracted such wide
spread attention and the demands for
its services have been so numerous,
that the announcement of this unique
prize has led seal sale managers in
practically every community to re-
double their efforts for large sale.
Wisconsin is the first state in the
union to offer clinic service as seal
sale prize Eleven years ago the state
association through its offer of the
services of a demonstration public
health nurse as a seal sale prize gave
the first impetus to pubic health nurs-
ing in Wisconsin, which is. now the
only state in the union with a state
law making it compulsory for every
county to employ a nurse. Wiscon-
sin now has $50 public health nurses
and it is generally conceded the
development of this field is the result
of the early demonstration work.

FEW DEER KILLED
AROUND HERE
Deer Must be Protected for a
Few Years or they Will Dis
appear Altogether is the Gen
eral Opinion

A number of old time hunters re-
turned from the w Gods this fall
empty handed something they are
not accustomed to dolg. They re-
port that deer, especially bucks, are
very few and far. between, and many
Sof them, heretofore not feeling the
necessity, now declare that deer
should be protected altogether for a
Few years, and that they will use
their influence to have a closed sea-
son for at least three years.
They point out that, since the con-
servation commission and it's field
men are supported entirely from If
cense money, and there will doubt
less be heavy falling off in the
event there should be closed sea-
son for deer, and that, therefore, the
game warden force would have TO be
reduced because of reduced finances,
this situation could be remedied by
the passage of a law requiring Ii
censes from resident male fishermen;
orbetter yet, issue combination
game and fish license to male
residents and fix the fee at $3.50.
They would allow the ladies and
boys under is years Of age to fish
without license, but require IL
cense from ladies who would hunt.
There are many fishermen who never

CHEST CLINICS
Will BE PRIZES
COMPETITION is KEEN FOR
PRIZES THIS YEAR
Eighteen Communities Will Be
Awarded This Service for
High Seal Sale. Washburn
May Secure One.

sale funds for local public health work
Nine classifications have been made
of the cities of the state, which have
been divided on a per capita basis,
and in this way it will De possible to
extend the services OF these prize
clinics more widely and the small city
will have as good a chance as the
larger place. Two clinics will be
awarded in each class, one each to:
/. The city making the largest
per capita sale of Christmas seals
in the 1921 sale, the per capita
figures to be based on the 1920
United States census,
2. The city making the largest per-
ccntage of increase over its 1920
sale.
The classes into which the cities
have been divided for competition
purposes are as follows:
Glass l. Cities over 5000 popula-
ton not having local association.
Class 2. Cities with population
between 1000 and 5000.
Glass g.. Cities with a population
between 1900 and 1000.
Class 4. Cities with a population
between 1000 and 1900.

will be for one day with one examin-
ing physician. In the larger groups,
the length of the clinic and the
number of doctors to be sent will de-
pend upon the population, the estimate
to be used in planning the clinic be-
ing based on the fact that during the
past year an average of geo of the re-
sidents of the communities visited
have taken advantage of the clinic
service.
