The announcement that the historic
Old frigate Minnesota is to be broken
up is a striking reminder Of the rapid
ity with which one type of warship
succeeds another. When the Mime
sofa was launched 40 odd years ago,

mira1ion and no little envy. But since
the advent of the steel warship. the
ships have been useful only in times OF
peace

Mrs. Collins has two little girls who
