IT is interesting to note that the
battleship "New Jersey, (which was
launched at the Fore River yards
last week, was christened by a
daughter of the governor of New Jer-
sey. Governor Murphy Of New Jer-
sey and a large and distinguished
company from that state were
present. The Fore River Company
possibly learned something about the
etiquette of launchings from the
Rhode Island incident.
