Nine. Bruggpann, wife of the Swiss

occasion was the first experience
Mrs. Wallace has had as sponsor

thrill when the champagne splashed
over the prov and the great sea-
going vessel slid gracefully and
easily down to the water. At the
same time carrier pigeons flew
homeward to Lakehurst, N. j.,
carrying a message from Admiral
