Arthur Bruce did not stop to soothe

Mildred Brent loved a sensation.
Moreover, she liked to shock her

So it was with a perverted sense
of pleasure that she returned to the

''oh, I guess there's more money

FREIGHTER CASEY"
WAS LAUNCHED AT
PHILADELPHIA, PA
Sixtieth Vessel Launched Al Hog Is.
land Shlpyard Christened In Honor
OF knights OF Columbus

The sixtie:h vessel to be launched
at the Hog Island Shipyard at Phila-
delphia by the American Information
Il Shipbuilding Company for the Ship
ping Board went down the ways
at two o'clock Saturday. The
vessel was christened Casey" in
honor of the workers of the knights
Of Columbus, who were given the So
briquet by the soldiers in the Argonne
Forest The Casey" is a steel cargo
carrier of the "A" type. 400 feet long,
so feet beam and capable of making a
speed of II knots an hour Kit is an
oil burning vessel driven by a geared
turbine of $500 shaft horsepower and
can carry approximately 5,775 tons of
cargo.
The Casey will be able to cruise
$500 nautical miles; 1880 tons of
steel riyets were used in the construc-
ton of the hull and over 100000 rivets
were driven. A most interesting fact
regarding the building of the vessel is
the fact that several of the men who
worked on her construction have been
through the war, been given medals
for bravery in action and all know
about the efforts of the knights OF
| Columbus during the war.
An elaborate program was ar
ranged for the christening of the YES
sci. Little Miss Miriam Rita Flaher-
| ty, daughter of James A. Flaherty, OF
Philadelphia, Supreme Knight of the
Knights of Columbus, was chosen
as sponsor for the ship, the huge ship
yard was thrown open to the mem
bers of the order and their friends
during the afternoon of the launching
which was the eve of Columbus day
and all the ranking officials of the
Knights of Columbus were present. A
detachment of naval marines and sol
diers were a feature.
The Knights will in the future act
asa sort of Beacon Light for the
Casey in the matter of keeping the
crew well supplied with entertain
ment. A library, recreation room
movie machine, films, victrola, player
piano, and other novel features have
been planned for the crew of the
freighter. The interest will always be
maintained.
When the good ship Casey" puts to
sea. no matter what her latitude be
she'll always in her listless hours
find the good will of the Knighted
powers. Little Miss Flaherty says she
is not the least bit perturbed over the
big job which was assigned to
her. The Casey" may make her first
trip to Genoa, Italy, the native town
of Christopher Columbus.
