Most tankers are named for battles and places.
This one is named for man. There's reason.
w. L. R. Emmett was General Electric engi-
neer. Nearly IS years ago he began to urge radi-
cal new method Of ship propulsion-ships powered
by steam turbines turning great electric gener-
ators as in modern power house, and these gen
orators connected in turn to big motors which
drive the propellers.
There were many difficulties to be overcome.
But in 1913, the Navy made test installation in
the collier Jupiter. The trial was success. Mr..
Emmett lived to see his ideas carried out in many
famous ships, including the U.S.S. Lexington and
Saratoga, and the liner Nomandie. He himself was

there wouldn't be any old wolves

Library Concert Tuesday to Mark
 Anniversary of Invention of Monograph

Next Tuesday marks the 67th anniversary of the invention of the photograph. Although the prin- ciple on which instruments for re- cording and reproducing human speech was known as early as 1855 it was not until Thomas Edison announced on November 21, 1877, that he had invented a phonograph that there was a practical applica- ton of it. First recordings were husky and indisHnct, but they demonstrated that the problem of mechanical reproduction of speech and music had been solved. Since then the device has been perfected so that. the natural quality of the voice and music is preserved and so, in the programs of recorded music held at the Base Library each Tuesday evening, it is as if
