WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-Taking up
the contention of Admiral Sims in the
matter Of medal awards point by point,
Secretary Daniels today before the
senate investigating subcommittee took
direct and emphatic issue with the Ad-
miral. AS justifying his contention
that individual duties ashore are nec
essarily of secondary Importance to du-
ties afloat MIR. Daniels asserted: "On
shore man decides important ques-
tions in the quiet of Office surroundings
with time to find the pros and cons and
if he makes a mistake his error of
decision is not Immediately followed
by disastrous results. At sea, particu-
larly in submarine warfare, the com
mander like all his men is in iminent
peril of death. He must make momen-
tous decisions in the flash of a single
moment Often when his ship has been
attacked and when coolness and poise
are necessary to save the lives of scores
and hundreds of men a mistake in this
emergency is fatal to an officer at sea. :

Brattleboro Lumber Corp.
to Make Heels for
Ladies Shoes
WILL EMPLOY AT
LEAST 40 MORE
Capital Stock to Be Increased from
$4,000 to 100000 - Electrically
Operated Factory - Additional Dry
Kilns to Be Constructed.

Brattleboro is assured a new industry
which will employ at least 40 hands,
through the decision of the Brattleboro
Lumber corporation to engage in the man
ufacture of wood heels for ladies' shoes.
A store-house 40 by 80 feet already built
on the corporations premises on lower
Vernon street is being converted into an
electrically operated l0-lathe plant to
accommodate the new machinery, and ad-
ditional dry kiln facilities win be pro-
vided soon by the erection of new
building.
In order to finance the new industry
the corporation voted at its annual meet
ing, Just held, to increase the capital stock
from $4,000 to 100000, and all of the
new stock will be taken by the present
stockholders. The stockholders elected
these directors at their annual meeting:
William p Becker of New York, Albert
c. Wyman of Brattleboro, James III. Un-
derwood of Newfane, Edmund j. Baas of
Woodcliff, \. j., and G. Menzies Miller of
Brattleboro. The directors elected these
officers: President, William P. Becker;
vice president, u MenZieS MllleTi SecIe-
tary, James Fl. Underwood; treasurer,
Albert C. Wyman. The local stockholders
in addition to those mentioned are Her
bert G. Barber, Frank E. Barber, Frank
Prescott and William B. Keeley.
Mr. Becker is well known to the shoe
industry and is business man of excep
tional ability. The business of manufac-
!. turing last blocks, which has been under
, the direct management of Mr.. Becker
since last May, has made an especially
= good showing Mr.. Becker will have man
) agement of the new branch, the manufac-
ture of wood shoe heels, He comes here
> every two weeks. There is every reason
to believe that the new branch will mean
much to the town, and it is probable
q that besides the 20 new hands which are
wanted at the factory employment viii
: be given to 20 or more women at some
!, place in the village, as it is likely that the
) trade will want many of the shoe heels
: covered with the black eelluloid which is
common on ladies' shoe heels.
Some of the heels win be shipped in the

women while recuperating after leaving
the hospital, and the house also was to
become available as a home for aged
women who had not the means to secure
themselves a home in the Home for the
Aged. Besides the building sum of
money was to be left as the foundation
for an endowment with which the home
