Mrs. Wheeler Pays
Tribute to Stein
no THE HERALD,

~ 41AE A4EAb1I1
May I have a bit OF space to ex-
press my appreciation Of n who
has done yeoman service for the
Brownsville Daily Herald. as well
as for the upbuilding Of Browns
Vile and the rest OF the Lower Rio
Grande Valley? II was with sin
&c reregret that I learned that
Morris Stein had severed his con-
nection with The Herald. Even
more did I regret his sale OF the
paper some months ago. For Few
have done better work in the news
paper field OF Texas than he. Nj.
Stein was with me IN the publication
OF The H<ald for about 10 years
before + sold the paper to him. As
his employer. 7 wish to record that
he was ever active and energetic
in the performance Of Of his ardu-
Gus duties. He brought a keen IN
telligence and t~ireleSs work to his
task. And he was ever faithful and
loyal. I could trust him with n
direction Of The Herald, II I were
absent. because I knew that he pos
itively would publish no word that
wsS at variance with what he un-
deaetood to be the policy OF the
publisher.
7 was satisfied to sell my inter-
est in The Herald 10 Mr.. Stein. IN
1924. because I knew that he was
devoted TO the interests OF Browns
vile and the rest of the Valley. he
loved Il and took pride in its Won
derful growth. And he justified my
faith. He made a fine example OF
newspaper progress Of The Herald.
which has set the pace for other
daily papers in towns Of similar size.
I do not hesitate to declare that
The Brownsville Herald compares
very favorably with afternoon pa
pers OF even the largest cities OF
Texas and its progress has been a
great credit to Mr.. STEMS efforts.
The citizens Of Columbus, Ga, 70
which place he has transferred his
activities in the newspaper field.
are TO be congratulated upon the
acquisition of a publisher Of such
talent and ability.

Story Sermon For
Children Planned

An innovation In the form OF a
story sermon for children will be
started at the Presbyterian church
Sunday morning. according to the
Rev. Z. p. Day. pastor. The new
feature is to be a part Of the regu-
lar one-hour service and is being
added to create more interest
among among the children.
The average church service has
little In II to interest the child. yet
they all need the reverent and wor-
shipful atmosphere found there. Bv
adding q sermon especially designed
to interest the children. we believe
that we can make the services more
helpful to them. without detracting
from the benefit OF the adults" the
Rev. Day explained. He will be as
sisted in the new feature by his
daughter. Miss Fern Day. who has
been active in children's work.

Letter From Garner
Explained BY Cousins
THE HERALD:

TO THE HERALD.
The communication from j. o.
Garner which seems to have been
the basis Of your news item from
San Benito on September the fifth
has come into my hands.
The trouble IN Mr.. Gamers case
IS that he did his undergraduate
work with us in education ana Eng
lish. He was informed very def
nitely that It would be necessary for
him to proceed along the same lines
in the university IN order 10 get his
masters degree. II he wished 70
achieve that degree IN one year
But 1t did not SUIT Mr.. Garner to
pursue these courses fully in the
university. He chose rather TO
switch into the work. In Spnish
for which he had not prepared IL
the South Texas Teachers college.
At the close Of the year he finds
that he is unable to obtain his mas
ter's degree because he changed
his course contrary 70 the advice
OF the college authorities.
Unfortunately Mr.. Garner has
been totally blind since childhood
and because OF this affliction he Is
not amenable to the usual forms q
reason and advice.
The work Of the South Texas
State Teachers college has been ex-
amined and approved by the greatest
college authorities in the country
and upon these the college has been
recognized by the Texas Association
OF Colleges as q senior college. The
southern Association Of Colleges
and secondary schools has likewise
recognized our work in every de-
partment-
am glad to say that there Is now
every prospect Of q greatly enlarged
attendance and usefulness, as In
college Of arts and industries.
Sincerely.

tent, il not used throughout the tire, espe-
cially not for the tread, which comes i'm

put to its greatest test.
Not one blowout in a carloadl
Ninety per cent of black Sidewalk tires blow out
before they wear out; NINETY-NINE per cent
of white sidewall tires wear out before they

That is why HICKS has been selling and manu-
featuring white sidewall tires.
That is why other manufacturers are changing
over from black to white sidewalks.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 20.
Hearst newspaper executives last
night heard the magic story OF the
Southwest from the lips of the men
who are pushing back the frontiers
of a rugged cow country and turn
ing the reclaimed land into a veri.
table fairyland.
The story was unfolded at a din
ner given the visiting newspaper
men by the San Antonio chamber of
commerce. The executives are here
for their annual convention.
From the lips Of J. Fl. Kirkpatrick,
the editors heard how the south
west was being chained to the hum
ming wheels of industry and COM
commerce and agriculture. He
said:
Land Made Productive
"A few years ago this country
about you was nothing but desert
land. Cows grazed on land that
felt the dampness of rain only a
few times a year. Now beef cattle
and dairy cows Craze on land that
is irrigated through the harnessing
Of feeders to the Rio Grande River.
"The land has been made pro-
ductive until today a fence could be
built around the State of Texas and
the people could survive without
outside aid. Everything man needs
is somewhere within the borders of
the State"
Military aviation" was desired
by Brig. Gen. Frank P. Lahm, COM
mander of the Intermediate Air
Corps Training Center. He briefly
outlined the aims of his department
and the part it is playing in de-
veloping southwest Texas and the
Nation.
Col. Frank Knox, general man.
ager of the Hearst newspapers, re-
sponded for the executives. He said
that Mr.. William Randolph Hearst
and all of his publishers and editors
were proud of being identified with
the development of the Southwest
and that they would unstintingly
work with the Southwest for its de-
velopment.
Colonel Mcintosh Presides
The dinner was presided over by
Col. William Mcintosh. publisher
of the San Antonio Light.
Before the dinner George Hearst
of San Francisco, son of William
Randolph Hearst, placed two wreaths
of American Beauty roses at the
Alamo, cradle of Texas libery."
The wreaths, Mr.. Hearst said
were dedicated to those men who
died without thought of surrender
ing principles of freedom for which
they were fighting"

The statement follows: "The vast
number of congratulatory messages
from individuals in the United
States received by the Holy Father
on the restoration of his independent
sovereignty. has made it impossible
for His Holiness to answer them
individually as he would wish.
His eminence, Cardinal Gaspar1,

OF BAD
MEN

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 20 u.N,s)
Joe Russo, one of the five, convictS
who made their getaway from the
Ohio State Penitentiary here early
Tuesday, was captured today at
Shadevill, miles south Of Colurl1-
bus. y,
Russo was the third to be re-
turned to solitary confinement in
the State prison, Pat McDermott
and Mike Jacko having been caught
in a quarry near here at 1880
o'clock last night, following a short,
cold, hungry and haunted liberty.
F, :. Caught ih Quarry
Deputy Sheriffs John S. Crunaley
and Charles williams came upon
the half.frozen fugitives as they
huddled about a small fire in the
tower of Casparis Quarry, near
here.
The officers rushed the men, ex.
pecting stout resistance, but the
desperadoes were too nearly frozen
to resist. The temperature was
close to zero.
The snow that covered their
tracks and aided them in their
escape yesterday morning, finally
proved their undoing. Crumley and
Williams picked up the trail of the
cohvicts near Cambridge Boulevard
and followed it two and a. half
miles to the quarry tower.
Three Still Out
When searched at the penitentiary
each of the prisoners had in his
possession a small pairing knife
and each man was wrapped in
"slicker." They refused to tell
where they got either the knives
or the coats.
The other three convicts are still
at large, but officers predicted their
early capture.
NEW YORK, Feb. 90 n.N.S.).-
Paul Pippia, being brought from
Dannemora prison to the Tonbs here
| was still at large today after eseap-
ing from New York Central train

Pippia asked to be taken to the
mems room in the coach az the
train entered New York city. He
was not handcuffed. The train
lurched around curve throwing
Deputy Sheriffs Jacobs and Curico,
who were in charge of the prisoner,

The prisoner dashed into the Law

broke the window and apparently
