 Mrs. Adams Honored
 After christening the battleShip, sixth American naval vessel to bear that name, Mrs. Adams was pre- Sented with gift by the le,0o0 Shipyard workers.

 Officially described as lone of the most powerful vessels ever con- structed" the Massachusetts wai preceded into the water by the 36,. 000-tonners North Carolina ane Washington, which have been com. mISsioned, and the South Dakoto which was launched Tn June.
 Constructed without portholes tc save building time and add struc. tural strength, the Massachusetti was completed seven months aheat of schedule.
 The 7S0-foot dreadnaught will bt driven by huge turbines developing li6,000 horsepower from oil-firec boilers. She has c designed speed in excess of 27 knots as compared with ships of the preent battlelinl that average l8 to 2l knots.

 The Massachusetts Is capable oi the grpatest broadside ever fired She has nine le-inch guns in threC turrets and 20 five-inch guns fin a secondary battery for use against aircraft or small surface targets.
 AS protection against enemy fire the Massachusetts has i6-inch arIn- or plate amidships, and water-tight doors making 1t almost impossible for the vessel to be sunk by tor. pedo' fire.
