to christen the superintendent
! Nevada. which will be launched at
the Fore river ship yards on Octobe,
|. is not only a native daughter 81
the state in honor of which the ship Is
named, but is the youngest person
ever chosen for such a signal honor.
She was born at Tonopah and passed
her llth birthday last month.
Little Miss Siebert is the daughter
OF Fred J. Siebert, an expert min
ing engineer, who is a member of a
family prominent in the business
and social life of Columbus and
CINCINNATI, Ohio. Her mother is a
sister OF Governor Tasker L. Oddie
OF Nevada. and is of a family we'll
known in New Jersey and on Long
Island. On her mothers side Miss
Siebert is a direct d~escendent OF
Benjamin Stoddert. the first secre-
tary of the navy of the United States.
who held that office from 1903 10
1901.
Accompanying the youthful spon-
sor of the big fighting vessel on her
long journey from her home to
Quincy will be her parents, Governor
Oddie and a number of prominent
Nevadans.
A movement has been started
against using the traditional bottle
of champagne at the christening.
1t has been suggested that a bot
tie of pure Nevada mineral water be
used instead, but the question has
not yet been determined.

pected to do" said Miss Siebert at

or accorded her. and | intend to
