December IA.

Miss Louise. White of Omaha will
officiats at "bone dry" function on
December IA, when she christens the
scout cruiser Omaha" at Tacoma,
Wash.
A bottle Of sparkling water--no,
sparkling champagne-will be tossed
from the bow of the new cruiser and
will crash against the side OF the ves-
sci as it glides from dry dock into
the smooth, placid waters of Puget
sound. -
For the government has ruled

liquors out Of existence. Hence the
edict that the sparkle in the chris
tening bottle mist emanate from a
quart OF aqua pura and shall not be

Elaborate Preparations.
Elaborate preparations are under
way in the northwestern city, shad-
owed by snow-peaked Mount Shasta,
for the ceremony, which will occur
at S:45 on the morning of Tuesday,
December "a. instead Of December 4,
as was first announced.
High naval officials, including
those at Bremerton navy yard. will

state officials, the mayor of Tacoma,
city and county officials, together
with William +. Todd, president OF
the company which built the cruiser.
who with a party of friends are en-
route to Tacoma from New York to
attend the launching.
Visit in Frisco.
Miss White and her mother, Mrs,
Victor White, 2856 California street,
Omaha, arrived in Tacoma Decem-
Der 3 under the impression that the
christening would be December 4.
Upon learning of the postponement
they went to San Francisco to visit
friends for few days before return
ing to Tacoma for the christening.
The christening of the battle
cruiser Omaha" is not minor at
fair and when Secretary of the Navy
Daniels wrote Mayor Smith saying
that the name Omaha" would be be-
slowed on the new cruiser he really
honored the Gate City. And when

Mayor Smith selected Miss White to
christen the boat which will bear the
name of the Nebraska metropolis to
all corners of the world he bestowed
real favor upon the popular Omaha
society girl.
$50 Feet Long.
The scout cruiser Omaha" IS the
first scout cruiser launched for the
United States navy since the "Ches-
ter Birmingham and Salem" were
launched in 1907.
When the Omaha" is launched it
will leave dry dock bow first, the first
time a boat was ever launched in this
manner at Tacoma. This on ac-
count OF the construction of the
vessel.
The cruiser is $50 feet and 6 inch
es over all, speaking nautically, or
$50 feet 6 inches in diameter, in the
words of the landlubber. 1t is fitted
with Westinghouse Parsons tur-
bines and reduction gear. developing
10000 H. P, driving four propel-
lers, two on each side, and has an es-
timated speed of IS knots.
Rapidfre Guns.
The battery of the vessel consists
of II 6-inch high power rapidhre
guns, two mounted in twin mount on
centerline forward, two in twin
mount on centerline aft. four in
sponsors forward, two on each side,
o,,J fo,,r -, eoopcopc ~, affer aud ~
superstructure on main deck, two on
each side; two three-inch anti-air-
craft, two three-pounders, two ma
chine guns and two twin torpedo
tubes on main deck aft.
The building of the cruiser was
contracted for by the Seattle Con-
struction and Dry Dock company,
Seattle, in December, 1916.
Laid in Seattle.
The keel was laid in Seattle i'll
july 1917, and in October, 1917, due
to the pressure of merchant shipping
at that time, an arrangement was
made by the Emergency Fleet cor
poration and the Navy department
whereby the keel was lifted from the
blocks and the ways on which the
vessel was intended to, be built was
used for building cargo ships.
On the sale of the Seattle Con-
struc,ion and Dry Dock company in
May, 1918 the contract was trans
ferred to the Todd Dry Dock and
Construction corporation, Tacoma,
and the keel and all material OH hand
was transferred to Tacoma, and the
keel laid in December. 1918.

1t Is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening
medicine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver
and bladder do the work nature in
tended they should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of
years. 1t is sold by all druggists on
its merit and it should help you. No
other kidney medicine has so many
friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and
