Finding More Names.
The two other freighters beside
the Honolulan now being built b.
the All. company win be name'
the Kentuckian and Georgian. Tn
company has utilized the names of
large number of states of the union t.
name its fine big ships and to some ex
tent the supply will soon run short
The names of the New England state
are not suitable as the terminal Gan
cannot be affixed euphoniously. Ney
York and New Jersey are also out o
the list, Maryland is not suited t.
the method of naming employed by tn
All. company. It is likely that tn
Southern States will be drawn upon t
supply names for new vessels fo
awhile. dependent, of course, upon tn
company continuing to make addition
to its already large feet.
