SIX SHIPS ARE
LAUNCHED AT
OAKLAND TODAY
This Launching is Record
Breaker. For Whole
World. -,

Oakland, CAL, Dec. 20.-Six steel
vessels. totaling nearly 100000 tons,
were launched into Oakland inner
harbor today in space OF less than
an hour-the largest number Of ships
and the greatest tonnage ever set
af1oat on one tide in the history of
shipbuiiding.
The nearest approach to this
worlds record was when Hog Island

. May 30, last totaling $4,000 tons.
The sextuple launching WAS made
tion under the auspices of the Oak
land Chamber of Commerce, Ten
thousand invitations were sent out to
federal. state, county and city off,
cials and distinguished personages,
, but as the gates were thrown open to
the public 1t is estimated that several
times that number were present. The
crowd is said to have been a record
breaker also in the witnessing of q
launching.
Adrnirals. generals and high officers
OF the marines with their staffs, were
special guests, as were members of
the consular corps and officials Of the
United States shipping board. Six
hands.s one on each vessel, furnished
music.
The first ship to go "overbosrd"
was the Salina, a 10000 ton tanker,
named after the city in Kansas as q
reward for its subscription in the Vic
ter, loan.

Foundation Co. Brought In.

Mr.. Duff continued his sinking work
through the ninety-one feet of over
burden and went about a foot into the
ledge before letting up on his sinking
operations.
IL was then apparent TO the owners
that the opening up OF the ore BODY

some definite plan should be adopted
and followed in the work with the end
in view OF proportioning the expense
to the probable tonnage of ore TO b,

had been overcome.
1t was decided to seal up that part
of the shaft between the ledge and

AUTOMOBILE NAMES.

There are many styles and types
Of automobiles In use today. but prob
ably the eve best known and most
popular Ia the United States are the
coupe. the sedan, the limousine. the
touring car and the roadster. The first
three names are French In their ori}
gin and the last two are English.
The word coupe" was applied orig
inally to a four-wheeled closed car
rage for two persons inside. with an
outside seat for the driver.
II Is derived from the French word
meaning ITO cut" and is s6-called be-
cause Il gives the appearance OF
larger carriage cut in half. The
word was later taken over and APP
piled 70 the present enclosed car with
one seat in the rear. a drivers seat
and an auxiliary seat.
The word sedan is probably one
OF the Oldest terms applied 10 a We
ticle for transportation. II was used
for the first time In France and takes
its origin fom the Fench city OF that
name. This name takes on a peculiar
Significance now when 1t is remem-
bered that sensational advance OF

The nine new styles OF the 1920

way responsible for the popularity
which these types Of cars enjoy. Since
the appearance of the 1920 Haynes
sedan, coupe and limousine the in
crease in the demand for closed cars
has been especially noticeable.
Whereas the sedan and coupe few
years ago were used mostly for city
purposes, these types are now being
used by thousands Of motorists for

Men Who Appreciate SuperuUe Values Prefer The Brunswick

In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: How much can
we give for the money!" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
Germ - noted as a leader in every
line it entered since 1876 has once
more proved that its policy is right.
A perfect tire is simply matter
OF knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skimping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization of
tire makers includes brilliant staff

HOG SHIPMENTS
On the Increase From Sequat-
chic Valley, Celebrated as a
Hog Feeding Place.

Holloway Bros, of Whitwell,
have shipped a large number of
cars of hogs from this valley
this year, more than usual, more
than usual, and it bids fair to re-
snme its old-time prestige as a
hog feeding place. The Indians
who named sections of country
from what it was chiefly distin-
guished, called the valley Sequa-
chez. a name composed of two of
their words, Sequa. a hog, and
chez, feeding place. hence Sc
quachee means hog feeding place.
The Holloway Bros. have shipped
ten carloads from Bledsoe coun-
ty this year. and probably as
many from other points in the
valley.

Sisters are calling me, brothers are calling me,

Do you not hear how the voices are calling me,
Calling me, calling me, calling me still?

and its eyes, no doubt, cleaning
ahead like a miniature Ford head
ing the procession. At the first
bridge as aforesaid, it darted off
the road, which was the first
time it had ever shown the
least disposition to leave the
highway. and landed with a
crash in the rocky gulch below
and when the reverend clergy
man could stop his engine to lis
ten he could hear it tearing up
the river bank in the direction of
Little Sequachee Cove.
No doubt its habitat is in that
wild precinct, and it had strayed
thus far among the homes of men
in search of food, and had cap
tured a chicken for a repast. Pos
sibly in some, wild den in the
mountain fastness, it is recount
ing in bobcat tongue how some
strange monster with great big
yes.and an awful roar chased it
one night at top speed.
However, the question is, what
would have happened to that
preacher if the bobcat had side
stepped the machine and leaped
in on a investigating tour. OPP
inion is that a badly scratched
preacher would have been the
result, as these animals are pref
ty tolerably well armed with big
and sharp claws. and have been
known to pull down and kill sheep
and goats.

while incidentally Moabites, Hit

were Eplaying with his car and
abstracting accessories to the
amount Of $25, when he came up
on a bobcat on the highway, the
Dixie Highway.
He was costing down the gentle
grade near the Jones Spring,
when he spied a large animal on
the bridge. 1t was devouring
some prey it had captured, chew
ing voraciously. AS the car drew
up and the animal stood fully il
lumined in the glare of the head
lights, he saw it was a wildcat,
better known as a bobcat, and a
large one. Apparently blinded
by the light it turned down the
road, and started on a slow lope,
and then it's bob tail could be dis
tinguished.
The sporting blood of the
preacher arose and he determin-
ed to run down that bobcat at
any cost, and he applied gas to
his Ford. The gas, took effect,
the Ford accelerated, and SO did
the bobcat, the inspiration Of the
gas evidently having an influence
on it, and the faster the Ford
flew the faster the bobcat hob
bed. At times the machine was
as close as three yards to the cat,
only to lose out on curves and
bad bits of road. The preacher
said he never drove so fast in his
life, andthe bobcat was on high"

PRIZE SNAKE STORY
Fifty Small Snakes Found in
Body of Large SNAKE.

The prize snake story comes
from Noah in Coffee county.
James Banks discovered a snake
under some lumber. He chopped
it in two with a hoe, and discov-
cred the head of a small snake,
about six inches long, protruding
from one of the sections. He in
vestigated and found forty-nine
other small snakes in the body of
the older one. This proves the
contention that a SNAKE swallows
its young on the approach OF dan
ger. Mr.. Banks killed the
snakes, making his slaughter for
