LAFAYETTE. Ga, August 1.-Two
men were killed and another critically

by renter who shot his landlord
to death and then killed a deputy

Only the arrival of Sheriff J. c.

The dead are A. c. Abercrombie, 40,

hit in the back and fell, but Perry,
desperately wounded, escaped. As
Deputy Alexander stepped unarmed

In the forge shop ingots of nickel

hydraulic presses and hammers and
drawn out into forgings of various
shapes. The biggest of the presses can

steel forgings as easily as child

In other shops patterns were being

pressed into shape, cartridge cases for
the big shells were being turned out
metals we're being plated and polished
and optical instruments, such as
range finders, gun-sight telescopes
and periscopes, were being manu-
factured.
In short, the whole yard was alive

Even merchants in the vicinity of

CAUSE OF BLINDNESS
AT BIRTH DISCOVERED
Tests at Texas Station Indicates
Lack of Vitamin A in Parents
Ration Is Reason.

BRYAN. Tex, August 10.-Blind-
ness or defective eyesight in human
babies at birth may be alleviated as
the result OF experiments In diet con-
Quoted at the Texas Experimental
Station here upon lower animals, A.
b. Conner, director OF the station. said
today.
Using pigs farrowed at the station,
Fred Hale. chief Of the Division Of
Swine Husbandry. discovered that de-
ficiency OF vitamin A in the ration OF
the parent animal during the prenatal
period has a direct reaction upon the
body and senses of its offspring.
In one instance q litter OF II was
born without eyes. The history OF
heredity taught that this would occur
only once In about 4,N00,0 900 times.
Seeking to establish this theory,
Hale experimental during 1888. He
selected two gifts, unrelated to the
SOW that farrowed the eyeless litter
and for II days placed them on a
ration deficient in vitamin A. At the
end Of the period one was too weak
10 walk and the other unsteady.
The gilt that was down appeared
10 be past recovery when it was given
vitamin A. 1t recovered sufficient
" in one day to walk. Fourteen days
later both gifts were bred.
The gifts then were placed on a
vitamin A deficiency ration for 80
days, the period In which the eye de-
velops in pigs. At the end Of the
period the ration was altered to in
clude sufficient vitamin A TO insure
developing normal litterS.
When they farrowed, the gilt that
received no vitamin A prior to breed
ing produced 10 eyeless pigs. The
other farrowed IA with various COM
binations OF eyes.

But this year manufacturers
and merchants alike have decid-
ed to give the public a chance.
They apparently believe that we
are ready to spend some money
again; that there is more money
scattered around in the coun-
try, and that the people as a
whole are ready for a session Of
elegance.
The cheap things that so
many people have been buying
for the past few years have not
worn we'll, and now that replace
ments must be made, women
will want better things that will
give better satisfaction, and for
a longer time.
Look of Richness
And also the clothes offered
for our inspection conform to
the mode of luxury which has
been on the increase steadily
for two or three seasons. Paris
and Hollywood started it.. The
New York manufacturers have
followed along beautifully, and I
find this fall that Washington
stores are falling into line. too.
There have been a good many
fashion shows recently, and in
them are many gorgeous gowns,
wraps and hats of decidedly the
finer sort. Gowns at a hundred
dollars or so. we've almost for
gotten about prices like that,
but it's grand to think we might
have clothes like that again. OF
course, prices aren't all high.
for gorgeous things can be had
for very moderate prices. Some
fashion showings I've seen have
kept their prices down to $685.
for dresses, and coats CORE
spondingly low.
Sequins Return
One showing had several even
ing gowns of SeQuinS. u. some OF
them all-over sequinS, some with
sequins trimming net or some
other such material. And there
were goodly number of metal
gowns. and metal blouses for
afternoon. Rich fur evening
wraps and fine fur coats lent
a note of elegance to the show
ing, too.
Don't despair if you can't pay
big prices for your clothes, for
there are plenty that are good
looking for moderate sums. But
do rejoice that at last fine
things are back, for it means
better distribution of money for
everybody, and that we will
