of names, and suggests that som
name Of local historical signifi
canoe be used for the vessel. Tn
letter is appended:
Mr.. Dacey has asked me to
reply to your letter of July Is
with reference to the launching
of the ships.
When the name Rock Is
land" was submitted to the
shipping board IL was disap-
proved by the board on the
ground that it was duplica-
ton of a ship now in the ser
vice. The ship which was
launched in February is IN
doubtedly the cause of the re-
lection of the name at this
time. The naming of the first
ship. of course was not done
through this district and is
merely a coincident, OF course
it is to be regretted that you
could not have been responsible
for the name but at the same
time you have the pleasure Of
ship named Rock Island" and
at the same time have the priv
ilege of naming another ship.
There is undoubtedly some
historic connection around
Rock Island or the county in
which it is located which will
furnish an inspiration for an
other name. The name must be
historical or geographical in it's
derivation. The shipping board
will not accept names after
August Is, therefore we hope
you will submit new names be-
fore that time.
Doubtless, also, Miss Cleave-
land. would be glad to officiate
at the christening Of the ship
whatever its name. although
feeling a little disappointed
that it will not be the good ship

Legislation" stirred District hopes to-
day when 1t became known that the
Great Falls development probably will
be included in any general water

Senator Jones, who is chairman Of
the Commerce Committee, which would
handle water-power legislation in the
Senate, expects Congressional action
70 begin some time during the next
few weeks as a result Of strong pres
sure being brought to bear by West
ern and Southern members.
Plans for investigation Of the water
supplies of the District already are
under way in both houses, with yet
no deflnite result II Congress does
not provide for the investigation,
which may or may not include devel-
opment Of the water power at Great
Falls for hydraulic, power purposes, a
strong effort will b made to have the
falls developed under an amendment
to the proposed general water-power
bill.

the necessity OF developing the water

question has been hanging IRE in Con-

JUST HAS TOLNE
ONS15,OOO YEARLY

NEW YORK. June 8o.-Surrogate
Fowler, who manages to exc out a
living on $4,000 a year salary, after
thinking IT over a fortnight. has de-
cided today that, hard as it may be
on her, Miss Lorena Carroll will just
simply have TO struggle along on a
similar amount
To be sure, Surrogate Fowler is not
in the habit of paying $4,000 a year
for cologne and evening dresses and
furs and other thingamajigs, such as
are. really needed by Miss Carroll in
her social position. And that Is one
Of the vital items of life listed on Miss
CarrolHs roster of necessities when
she demanded that her allowance of
SIS, 900 be raised to $20,s50 a year as
a stand-off against the wolf which
bowls at her door.
Miss CatTOI., two years hence, Whes
she becomes 81, will come into $1,75o,-
900 of the estate left by her father,
Joseph D. Carroll. Tammany politi-
clan and a horse dealer. Until then
she is to exist, the will dictates, on
the income of a trust fund Her
father died in 1912.
Miss Carroll, who lists IS, 600 a year
for maintenance Of two automobiles
and $4,000 for education and church
contributions, found that postwar
conditions were horried; that instead
of things going down in price, they
scared. For instance, It cost her
$4,000 a year to go to theaters and
other parties. And that is all of a
third OF her allowance.
