ment received, bids from private ship
builders for the construction OF these
vessels and regards them as excessive.
He believes that with the Government

ries, the navy yards can do the WORK
much cheaper.
The bids Of the private builders for the
two ships were: New York Shipbuiidins
Company, $4,000 each; Fore River
shipbuilding Company. ssoe7,Soo each;
and Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company ss,24O.500 each
As the limit OF cost fixed in the au-
thorizing act is s.. 500. 1000, Secretary Dan
iels las obtained from three of the
navy yards estimates as to how much
they could build the ships for with the
Government buying the steel direct from
the makers These estimates are as fol-
lows: Philadelphia Navy Yard, 1914
IA each: New York Navy Yard. IS. ss7.
6s7 each; Mare Island Navy Yard, San
Francisco, S,4l3.156 each.
Pending the receipt OF these bids from
the steel makers, Secretary Daniels Is

New York, Nov. 23.-Sai1ors who
come to Broadway for a touch of high
lie have invented a new drink called
the submarine kiss. 1t is a silver FIX
fioated on a pony of creme yvette in a
hollow stemmed champagne glass.
Those who have partaken OF the
drink, il seems, have had a remorse-
full return to a prohibition navy.
New drinks spread like wildfire.
Shortly after invented they are drunk
by patrons in bars ten blocks away.
The liquid combination is milky white
above and purple below and the sub
marine effect is secured after drink
ing about three.
Bartenders say their jobs depend on
knowing a new drink right after it
is invented. For IL they do not know
how to mix IL when IL is sought they
lose customers. The man whose BUSH
