as graceful as a swan, until the last
speech was made by Representative
French in the banquet hall nearby,
everything went like clockwork.
The launching was witnessed by the
greatest crowd that ever assembled at
the Cramp yards on such an event.
Idaho was particularly well repre-
sented and considering the distance
between the two points made a sur
prisingly good showing.

Mississippi, which was launched on
September 30, and will be battleship

MILLION A DAY FOR BOOZE.
Liquor Sold in New York Probably
Worst Sold in Nation.

The New York Press says men of ex-
perience and discrimination say that
in no large city in the world is so
much bad liquor sold over the bar as
in New York. they say also that the
quality of the stuff sold is getting
worse every year New York spends
more than 100000 a day for its al
coholic drinks. Purchased at retail,
this amount is about equal to what II
pays for meat and more than it spends
for bread and vegetables.
