a particularly handsome and becom-
ing Japanese kimono, with a large
chrysanthemum in her hair. which
was dressed with a clever Japanese
effect. Miss Alice Summers Of South
Bend, Ind, who is a school friend Of
Miss Westervelt's, made a hit with
the Hawaiian contingent by appearing
in fetching costume Of old Hawaii,

preciated by the judges who knew
nothing of the dress.

This average for the United States
was for 1909 and was for the whole
country. Since that year wages have
been increased, probably by 10 per
cent. Thus it will be seen that the
wages in such shoe centers as Lynn.
Brockton, Haverhill, Marlboro, ,etc..
would average a far greater differ
ence than the above table shows. Com
pairing our labor cost with that of the
United Kingdom, We find that a shoe,
wholesale value of 1926 to $3.50 is
about 64cents here and 80 cents for
same shoe in the British isles As

Fred Goodrich, his son, has charge of the tool making. department at Corbin's at the present time. Another son, Charles R. Goodrich, died in New Haven many years back.
 Asked how it happened that he was out so early in the morning, the hour being unusual for the reporter to be out, MT. Goodrich replied laugh ingly that he was simply following his regular daily program, which re- quires him to arise at 4:30 A. M and retire at o'clock in the evening. MT. Goodrich's property is among the neatest on Arch street, to say noth- ing about the city. He keeps it in that condition himself moving the lawn, repairing the hedge, cultivating a neat little garden and doing a hum dred and one other little things that only the careful property owner ever thinks of It is seldom that the neighbors ever see the venerable old gentleman idle. It is safe to say that he would still be working in Corbin's had not one of the officials called him into his Cffice three years ago to tell him that, in recognition of his faith full services, he was to be retired with the same salary he was then receiv- ing.
 The congenial old gentleman has pleasing personality and possesses a keen sense of humor. He will tell of funny incidents in his lengthy ca reer with twinkle in his eye which suggests youth instead of age.
 For his "hobSy'' MT. Goodrich has his guns. He has always been great sportsman, particularly as regards hunting. Guns of all sizes and des- criptiCns constitute a collection or sporting goods which he takes great pride in showing visitors.

longevity. Judging from a point of residence, he is the oldest living citi- zen in New Britain, having made his home here as early as 1884.
 Shortly before 5 o'clock this morn ing, when a Herald reporter was com ing down Arch street after interview ing a milk man, he perceived MT. Goodrich in his front yard hauling a heavy garden hose with which he was going to sprinkle his lawn. Knowing that he must be nearing his ninetieth milestone the reporter dropped in to get a few facts on his life and talk over old, times, S,e.~--r-'F>--~ 8.-s~, A+ H-t
 MT. Goodrich first saw the light of day in Wethersfield, Conn.,, June ', 1924. He was the son of Samuel $. Goodrich and Lima Kelsey Goodrich, two of the most highly respected resi- dents of that community. Ten years later he moved here. This particular part of the universe at that time was known as a part of Berlin. That mat ter didn't worry the young Goodrich,
 however, for he took employment inn mediately with one of his brothers, who kept a blacksmith shop across from the site upon which Charles Dehm's saloon now stands. A bet
 ter opportunity opened to him a short time after and he went to work in
 small factory which was situated at the old bridge at the foot of Arch street, which was conducted by the firm of Clark and Vensel. Here he learned pattern making.
 Russell & Erwin soon heard of the young mans ability and he was put on the payroll of that concern. He | stayed in that factory until 1861. | Then he entered the employ of F. & l F.

new ORDER GIVES NAVY
OESERTERS A CHANCE
Dismissal Instead Of lmprison-
ment for .BIuejackets Who
Overstay their Leave.

Washington, July 27.-Abolition Of
imprisonment for desertion from the
! navy In time Of peace was ordered to-
day by Secretary Daniels. Under the
new regulations bluejackets who over
stay their leave or commit breaches
of discipline will be summarily dis
missed instead of being sent to prison.
Men who become dissatisfied with the
service and want to quit may have an
honorable discharge by merely re-
funding certain enlistment allowances.
This radical departure from tradi-
tional naval methods has been under
consideration by the secretary ever
since he came into Office. He an
nounced today that the navy now had
practically full quota-51, 348t enlist
ed men-compared with shortage OF
more than four thousand eighteen
months ago, and that the time to take
the step had come.
Secretary Daniels, in statement
announcing the new order, said:
'Enlistments in the navy have al
ways been for definite period-at
present four years, and it has always
been difficult, and at times, impossible
for men to terminate their contract Of
enlistment by honorable discharge be-
fore the enlistment expired. If man
remained absent from his ship or duty
after having been granted leave, this
made him deserter and on convic-
ton involved prison sentence.
After very careful and thorough
consideration, and after a referendum
in which the opinions Of many Of the
highest officers In the navy were OBJ
tanned. the SECRETARY became con-
viRced that this general situation was
untenable, and not in keeping with
modern business ideas. The new Or
der is in accordance with the opinions
expressed by q majority of officers Of
the navy. -

RAIN Of BUCKSHOT DRIVES
BACK ESCAPING CONv|CTS
Guards at Kansas Penitentiary
Severely Wound Two OAR
ing Prisoners.

Leavenworth Kan, July 28.-Aftel
saving out of the cells and through
The roof of the state prison at Lansing
early yesterday morning, ]. H. Green
and Frederick Hannun, convicts, at
tempted to make their escape, but
were driven back-'by rain of buck
shot fired by guards, who had discov-
cred the plot. Both were badly
wounded but neither will die.
The convicts occupied adjoining
cells. They were employed in the
machine shops of the Irvine plant and
struggled saws to their cells. They
are thought to have worked on the
one-inch steel bars for several days.
Once in the cell building corridor
they climbed to the top of the cell
tier, from where they pulled them
selves to the roof with a rope which
had been thrown over one of the grid
ers. Then they sawed through the
sheet iron roof. The attempt was dis
covered as Green. who followed Han
nun, was pulling himself through the
hole to the roof.
Several guards fastened outside the
walls where they found the convicts
lowering a rope from the roof to the
ground. Neither heard the commands
of the guards to surrender and started
down the rope. When the guards
opened fire Green and Hannun started
for the hole, through which they tried
to crawl at the same time, with the
result that they became wedged. 1t
was during this interval that the shots
which hurt them most were fired.
Green was serving from ten to twen-
ty-one years on charge of highway
robbery and was sentenced in Chero-
kee county. Hannun is a five to ten
year man and was convicted in Will
son county on a charge of burglary.

Official Message Received in Washing

Washington, July 28.-The gravity
of the European situation was reflect
ed in an official dispatch from st. Pc
tersburg, saying the Russian minister

between Servia and Austria Hungary.
The order for the complete mobiti-
zation Of the Russian army. was con-

that In the present crisis the United
States could do nothing.
