FLORIDA AND UTAH, THE MIGHT
lest SHIPS IN U. S. NAVY.
Floating Fortresses, 521 Feet Long,
to Be Manned by 60 Officers
and sss Men.

Washington. Sept. 4.-The sister
dre%adnaughts. Florida and Utah, the
mightiest warships in the American
navy. will be in fighting trim by No.
vember Is, according to calculations
of naval experts here.
Within a week the Utah, just placed
in commission, will enter the docks
of the New York navy yard to re-
ceive the finishing touches. This work
involves the installation of coming
towers and the sights for her guns.
AS much secrecy surrounds these de-
vices. they are invariable constructed
at a government yard instead of in
the plant of a private builder.
The Florida will be placed in COM
mission about Sept. Is, and will be
ready for active service simultane-
ously with the Utah.
These two floating fortresses will
be attached to the first division Of
the Atlantic fleet, the Florida becom-
ing the regular flagship of the divi-
sion and the Utah occupying that sig.
nal relation whenever her sister goes
to dock for overhauling. Captain Har-
ry S. Knapp will command the Flor
ida and Captain Henry S. Benson the
Utah.
Greater in Every Respect.
Greater in every respect-size, arm
or and armament-the Florida and
Utah will wrest from the Delaware
and North Dakota the honor of being
the most powerful war vessels afloat.
The displacement of the two new
dreadnaughts is 21,S25 tons each. Ten
Pinch guns distributed in five tur-
rets and sixteen 5-inch rifles consti-
tute the main batteries. The hulls
are belted with armor ranging from
9 to II inches in thickness, while
steel walls a full foot through protect
the turrets. ,
. The ships are 521 feet long, and are
equipped with turbine engines, gen.
Grating $4,000 horsepower, which, it is
expected, will drive them at a speed
greater than the 2O.75 knots required
by the navy departments specifica-
tons.
Each of these castles of the sea will
be manned by a crew of 60 officers
and SS8 men.

LOCOMOBILE PLANT PUTS .
 IN RECORD SEASON

Evidently the Locomobile plant is rushed in its work at the present time. The manager of the New York offices of the company has received the following note from the plant In this city:
 Tt will interest you to know that the week of March 6, 1911, broke all records for shipments in the history of this company. The total value Of shipments amounted to more than any other week in the twelve years we have been manufacturing and shipping Locomobiles.
 we have no means of definitely deciding the outcome of this pleasant increase in business, but we believe that it. is due to the wonderful per formance of our new six cylinder car. The said car has been in hands of customers some five months, and the reports received from all sections Of the country are more than encourag- ing. Our customers tell us that the cars performance is in excess of any thing they have ever thought would be accomplished in automobile con- StructiOn. This undoubtedly is the cause of the continued increase in busiresS.'
