FT. LEAVENWORTH FRISOH
CONTAINS SHOE FACTORY
Will Begin Next January to Male
Footwear for Various Govern
ment Institutions.
Fort Leavenworth, Kan. A million
dollar factory within the prison walls
of the Fort Leavenworth federal peni
tentiary will begin making shoes for
the men of the army and navy and
federal institutions next January.
Warden F. Goldthwaite will be Its
superintendent.
One of the serious problems with
which Warden W. I. ttiddle has had to
contend is that of finding employment
for his prisoners. The shoe factory
will put to work 700 convicts whose
time now is idle.
The men will be taught a trade; a
small remuneration will go partly
toward the supj.Krt of their families
and partly into a fund at Interest, to
be paid them on their release. The
government will take a profit from
production.
The plant is expected to turn out
from 2,f0 to 3,000 pairs of shoes daily
when operating at its capacity, but
this will not be possible until skilled
labor has been developed anions the
prison laborers. When the peak of
quality and quantity has been attained,
the penitentiury will begin manufac
turing footwear for the army and
navy, and later a work shoe In addi
tion, for other institutions maintained
by the government.
The factory was built by man power
at a great saving In cost. Wherever
some expensive bit of machinery could
be replaced by manual labor, It was
done.
When it was necessary to hoist tons
of brick and steel, cement and crushed
stone to the workers on the skeleton
fourth story, a series of runways was
rigged np from lumber sawed at the
prison mill, and up these runways the
convicts trundled their wheelbarrows
of construction material. Six hundred
wards of the government helped build
the plant.
The factory will be fireproof through
out, with large windows and white
enamel walls. The floor surface will
be impervious to grease and shoe
blacking. Modern sanitary and safety
devices and the latest shoe-building
equipment will be used.
Superintendent Goldthwaite came to
Fort Leavenworth from Haverhill,
Mass., where he had completed a
quarter of a century with a shoe raaa
ufactory. lie will be assisted by fiva
civilian foremen.
Gob Loses 173 Pounds;
"Diet Did It," He Says
Philadelphia. After a year and a
half passed in watching himself dis
appear in large chunks. Chief Teoman
Clarence H. Hemerly, V. S. N., at the
League island navy yard, has at last
had something authentic In effective
dieting to give a waiting world.
"It was not a miracle," began Clar
ence. "It was merely application. I
determined to become thin and I did
It."
It wa just 18 months ago and
Clarence ha6 photographs which prove
It that the chief yeoman battled the
scales at 373 pounds, dinner table side.
Today he weighs just 202 pounds, a
decrease of exactly 173 pounds.
"I dieted," said Clarence, running
his finger around the inside of his now
roomy collar.
"I made up this list and day after
day despite the temptations of cream
enibellished coffee and juicy steaks 1
stuck to it. For one year and a half
I have eaten nothing else. This is my
regular daily allowance : Thirty ounces
of vegetal lies, six ounces of lean meat,
six ounces of lean fish, one whole egg,
the whites of four eggs, four apples,
two oranees, wheat bread and
skimmed milk." ,

Memorial to Longfellow
New Orleans. The Longfellow
Evangeline memorial when erected will
be made up of three figures cut Into
a monument that will stand on the
banks of the Bayou Teche, near St.
Martinville.
The monument will arise In a fifty
acre park, almost on the spot where
the forlorn Arcadian girl kept her un
fulfilled tryst with the banished
Gabriel.
For year!, tourists hnve visited th
beautiful Evangeline country of Louisi
ana and have marveled at the beauty
nf the moss-hung oaks beneath which
Evangeline awaited her lover. In the
center of the park will be a wading
pool surronnded by figures symbolic of
the poem. Youth, Gladness, Love and
Despair, over which will stand the
monument consisting of a figure of
Longfellow and his two characters,
Evangeline and Gabriel.
Funds for the project are being fur
nished by subscriptions from pchool
children of the South and Longfellow
Evanegllne associations everywhere.

Missouri and -Iowa
State Tied
in Football
Both Teams Will Clash at Columbia
On Saturday and Decide the
Leadership ; Neither Have Lost
Lincoln, Neb., "Oct. 28. Missouri
and Iowa State this week are tied for
the leadership In the Missouri Valley
conference, neither yet having met
defeat. However, by the end of this
week one of these two teams will top
ple from the throne, for next Satur
day at Columbia they clash.
On a percentage basis the stand
ings of the teams in the Missouri
Valley thiB week are:
Missouri, 1.000; Iowa State, 1.000;
Drake, .750 Kansas Aggies, .500: Ne
braska. .500; Oklahoma, .500; Kans
as, :250; Washington, :000; Okla
homa, :000; Grinnell, :000.
Changes in the percentage table
are Inevitable Xhis week, for all the
schools swing Into action against
Valley opponents except the Kansas
Aggies which enjoy a holiday and
Washington U of St. Louis, which
will net meet a Valley foe.
Decides the Missouri-Iowa Ktate
contest at Columbia, other classics
en the Saturday program include the
Drake-Kansas clash at Lawrence, a

of Nebraska for they must meet

water, Oklahoma., which will boost
one of the two teams out of the
cellar position.
There is, however, another method
of determining the Valley leaders
besides the percentage table. Frank
G. Dickinson, a graduate of the
University of Illinois, has devised the
Dickinson football rating system
which gives points for victories and
defeats as follows:
First division teams are those
which have a percentage rating
above :500. Missoirri, Iowa State
and Drake therefore are the only
Missouri Valley teams in the first
division, the other elevens being in
the econd division. Mr. Dickinson
proceeds to give points as follo'.vs:
If a first division team defeats a
first division team, winner gets :'0
points and loser 15 points.
If a first division team ties 3 firtt
division team, each team gets 22:5
points.
If a first division team loss to a
second division team, winner gets
30 points and loser 10 points.
If a first division team defeats a
second division team, winner sets
0 points, loeer 10 points. If a first
division team ties a second .'ifnion
team, first division team gets IP.
points, second tiivision team '0
If a second division team Jefor.i
n second division team, winner gets
20 points, loser 10 points.
If a second division team ties a
second division team each team gets
15 points.
The total points are then divided
bythe number of games played to de
termine the ranking of the teams.
I'ndcr this system the Valley
standings would be:
Missouri. 20; Iowa State. 20; Okia
home, 20; Drake, 17.5; Kansas Ag
gies, 15; Nebraska, 15; Oklahoma A.
