North Dakota Launched at

People

Quincy, Mass, Nov. 1.-THE battle
ship North Dakota, the first American
war vessel of the Dreadnought class,
was launched at the yard of the Fore
River Shipbuilding company at Quin-
cy Point shortly after noon yesterday
the ceremonies being partly married by
a heavy fog
More than 10000 persons, including
a distinguished gathering of officials
of North Dakota, together with sew
eral representatives of Massachusetts
naval officials and three foreign naval
attaches, saw the launching.
The official party arrived at Quincy
on a special train which was run in
to the shipyard at II o'clock. The
customary platform had been erected
at the bow of the vessel and there Gov
Burke of North Dakota and Miss Mary
Benton, sponsor for the ship, together
with Rear Admiral Francis Bowles. L.
S. N, (retired president of the Fore
River company. took their stand
AS the noon whistles blew in the
yard the workmen began to knock
away the shores. AT 1927 the last
piece was cut, giving the vessel mot
ion At that moment Miss Benton
broke a beribbOned bottle of cham
payne against the bow and said:
Il christen thee North Dakota
So great was the impetus of the ship
as she left the ways that the four tugs
sent to aid in the launching could not
stop her until she was nearly half a
mile from shore.
For several months the North Dako-
Ia has been known as the American
Dreadnought but this fact has not
saved her from severe criticism in
which President Roosevelt has joined
A new record for speed in the first
stage of battleship construction has
been made in building the North Da
kota as only 2S2 working days have
been employed from the time of lay
ing the keel until the day of the
launching.
Before the conclusion of the thirty
four and a half months allowed by the
government for delivery, however, the
hull launched today will present q
different aspect. BY that time, ten !.
inch breech loading, long range rifles
will have been placed in position as

val conference at Newport at which
the president spoke, many minor de
tails of additional protection will alsC
be added.

BACK TO HUMBLE LODGINGS
Hetty Green Tried High Living at a
Fashionable Hotel and
Didn't Like II.

New York. June 13.-After a brief
stay at the Plaza, Mrs. Hettie Green.
who is reputed TO be the richest wom-
an in the world, accompanied by her
daughter, in whose behalf it was stated
she consented TO leave her modest
apartment in HObOken, paid her bill
and left the hotel without saying where
she was going.
1t came as a surprise some weeks go
when il was learned that Mrs. Green
was occupying one of the most expen-
sive suites the Plaza has to offer. 1t
was on the second floor and command
ed a fine view of Central Park. Dur
ing the stay of Mrs. Green she enter
tanned her friends at several dinner par
ties.
She never neglected her business af-
fairs, however, and for a time when il
became known she was at the Plaza
she was besieged by impecunious per-
sons clamOring for assistance. Then
she became annoyed and threatened TO
leave the hotel.
Whether she tired of the glories of the
hotel and has gone back TO her hum
BILE mode of living. or has gone to an
other hotel, has not yet been ascer-
tanned.

The seventy Y. NJ. c. A. boys at Peli-
can Point on Utah lake are having the
time of their lives. The location has
proved first class from every stand
point. The tents are high and dry.
though close TO the lake shore. Nearby
are excellent grounds for baseball and
other athletic events.
The one thing that every boy enjoys
is fishing when the fish will bite. In
this regard the fish in Utah lake are
very accommodating. for in less than
three days the camp record had reached
335. Some of the boys found some
large carp in shallow pool; the usu-
al fishing methods were abandoned and
for an hour there was an actual Wres-
Ting match in which the boys came
off Victors. Every day hiking parties
are formed and various points of inter
est visited. The most popular trip is
to see the great bird rOOst a few miles
down the lake from camp. Here hun
dreds of blue cranes have their home.
The habits of these peculiar looking
birds are Of great interest TO the boys.
The athletic activities consist of base
ball, track events, swimming, horse
shoe playing. etc. all of which are
events for keen competition among the
clubs represented. The large silver cup
won by the Burlington club last year is

a delightful graduation from the days
activity to the dreamy night. Each
days activity is planned by the lead
ers and announced at the morning
chapel or assembly, which occurs i'm
mediately after breakfast. In addition
to the athletic activities the boys are
taking a brief course in Bible study.
They meet in groups after supper and,
under the direction of the leaders, study
special course in the PARALLELS, pre-
pared especially for camp use. In ad-
dition. each boy who completes for the
red rag" camp honor is required TO re-
peat the Ten Commandments as we'll as
run the 100 yards in Is seconds, etc.
The first camp closes Friday. June 10.
The second camp leaves the city Sat
urday. June 20. at 7:30 a. m. All the
boys who are planning to attend this
camp should get their applications in
at once. over fifty have already prom
ised TO go. Probably as many more
will sign up by Tuesday.
The clubs attending the second camp
will be the First congregational. First
Presbyterian, First Baptist. East Side
Baptist, St. Marks, st. Pauls. Burling-
ton school boys and the junior gym
nasium class. Any boy who was not
able to so with his club on the first
camp may attend the second if appli.
