TRADITION GUIDES NAVY SHIP NAMING Secretary Swanson to Pick Designations for 17 Under Contract. By the Assoclated Press. Tradition, going back to George Washington's day, will guide Secre- tary Swanson in picking names for the 17 new naval vessels now under contract. There is an almost ritual-like cere- mony to be observed in carrying out policies first started, according to story, when President Washington gulled the names for the Nation's first alf dozen ships from a silver punch- Bowl. L At that early stage, the story runs, the Navy heads had 12 names and nly six ships. Because they couldn't :et, together they wrote the names on slips of paper and dumped them in the punchbowl, Washington end- fng the argument by picking half of them at random. Name Precedents Exist. Since then a wealth of precedent | for naming ships has grown up and there is even a law that battleships Must be named for States. Cruisers, by accepted usage, are named for cities, submarines for fish, dircraft carriers for famous battles or ships of the early Navy, and destroy- ers for Navy heroes Some names have been used over and over again to carry on the tradi- tion of a well-known vessel. There have been six Rangers since the first one commanded by John Paul Jones #nd about a dozen Enterprises. 5 Occasionally President Roosevelt helps think up names for the ships #nd he probably will look over those Becretary Swanson chooses for the 17 new vessels before they are made pub- C. ‘& Six Submarines Named. The six submarines for which con- racts recently were awarded already have been named and names for the dther new vessels will be selected soon. The Navy ran into a little embar- assment on the submarines and the pame of one of them had to be ®hanged from Pinna to Permit. Checking over piscatorial data, offi- ials found that the pinna was a Jowly mollusk, was close kin to the #nail and the clam, and spent a lot of | time buried in the mud. That wasn't very dignified, the Navy thought, so the submarine was named for the permit, a fighting game fish of the pompano (armly DETECTIVE KILLS YOUTH Chicagoan Shot in Pursuit After Alleged Attack on Woman.

Many wives, unknoumglv. serve * *“minus meals.” The food is well eooked. But it has little or mo “bulk”—needed for regular habits. “Minus meals” frequently cause eommon constipation due to insuf. + ficient “bulk” in the diet. Head. aches, loss of appetite and dull, spiritless days too often follow. Correct_the “minus meals” by serving Kellogg’s ALL BRAN regularly. Its gentle “bulk” does not break down in the body as . much as the fiber in fruits and . wegetables. So it is more effective. ALL-BRAN also supplies vitamin B and iron. Certainly it is safer to use this natural food in place of patent med- jcines. Two tablespoonfuls daily + are usually sufficient. Chronic cases, with each meal. If relief is not ob- tained, see your doctor. Serve as a cereal with milk or eream, or cook ifito muffins, breads, . waflles, etc, Get the red-and-green pack. age at your gro- cer's.
