Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy of

invited bids on a new tWin-screw,
$4,000 ton passenger liner for the
Uni ed S ateS lines to replace the

lad up in 1885.
After a series Of conferences in
New York with officials of the
line Kennedy worked out details
for construction of a % knot lin
cr of the maritime commissions
own design to compete with the
speedy foreign liners for the rich
North Atlantic traffic.
The new vessel will be slightly
larger than the Manhattan and
Washington. the two mos mod
ern liners flying the American
flag. l. will be 723 feet in length
with a beam of 80 feet, depth to
promenade deck of rs feet, and
will accommodate about 1900 pas

of about $50.
Bids will be opened a. noon

quire that the vessel be completed
within two years and four months
of the date of award.
All of the latest safety devices
recommended by the senate safe
ty-at-Sea committee which inveS-
tigated the Moro Castle and Mo-
hawk disasters have been incor-
porated in the design. Most of the
lifeboats will be motor propelled
and radio equipped. Ample provi-
sion has been made in the cargo

Independent
Sets New
High Mark

When a single copy of small
town newspaper sells for S4.85,
that is news, yet that Is what a
copy of The Independent sold
for on the West Coast a few
weeks ago.
A Mrs. Derr, of Tulsa, Okla
homa, who is visiting here, tells
the story. Mrs. Derr ran into a
friend recently who had been
out on the West Coast, and he
related to her how he had come
to pay nearly $500 for copy
of a "ittle hick town newspap'
er."
This man was stopping at the
Hotel Wagner in Los Angeles
one night and a worn copy of
The Independent carrying that
privy satire was on a table in
the lobby. Picking it up, he
read the pFivy page and liter
ally hOwled. Other statesmen in
the lobby crowded around to see
what had struck him so funny,
and soon they all were inludg-
ing in good belly-laughs.
There naturally was an argu-
ment as to who could take the
paper off with him, and they
finally agreed to settle the argu-
ment by selling the paper at
auction.
Mr.. Segal, Mrs .Derr'S friend,
finally bought the paper for the
grand sum of S4.85.
Its been worth a lot more
than that" he told Mrs. De1r.

Despite a slight July slump, the
marriage license business in Pas
quotank County so far this year
is we'll ahead of the first seven

Thirty-two licenses were issued
during July by Register of Deeds

than last July's total of %. The
total for the first seven months OF
this year is 259, against a total
of 1875 for the first seven months

an all-time high.
The number of licenses sold this
