The Mariposa, the first of the three passenger liners that the Matson Navigation Company is constructing under its 24,000,000 dollars building programme for its Australian service, was'to. have been launched on July 18. The keel of the Mariposa was laid on May 17, 1930, at the Fore River plant of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Co. An interesting feature of the Mariposa is that the first rivet was made from iron taken from the famous steamer Constitution, generally known as Old Ironsides. Each of the ships will be 632 ft. in length, with a breadth of 79ft., a draught of 28ft., a gross register of 18,500 tons, and. a cargo carrying capacity of 5850 tons. Each ship will have accommodation for 620 passengers in first class and 217 in tourist class. There are nine decks, and the hull is subdivided into 16 watertight compartihents with a double bottom running throughout, where there is space for 40,000 barrels of fuel oil and 2800 tons of fresh water. The vessels are designed to have a service speed of 20Jknots, the main propelling machinery consisting of three single-reduction geared. turbines working on twin screws. The normal shaft h.p. is 20,000, with .a maximum of 25,000, while the necessary steam wil Ibe provided by 12 watertube boilers. All the auxiliary machinery is to be electrically operated, power ■being supplied by four 500 k.w. generating sets, and an interesting feature is the single large electric kitchen, which serves almost the whole of the passenger complement in two adjacent dining rooms. The names of the two other ships, which will be operated in the service from San Francisco to Australia, will be Lurlin e and Monterey. The building programme calls for the completion of one of these liners during 1931, 1932 and 1933. The Monterey is to be launched next November, and the. Lurline early in 1933. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS.

SLEEP TO-NIGHT! END INSOMNLL . Restful Sleep Assured Without Narcotics. Few know that two genuine Bayer As* pirin Tablets, before retiring, insure peaceful, restful sleep, but be certain you take only the genuine Bayer Aspirin. Bayer, iu 1900, told the medical profession of their new discovery, called Aspirin, Bayer asked physicians throughout the world to adopt it in Insomnia or sleeplessness; having demonstrated that it would quiet excited and overwrought nerves without harmful effect. Now millions find repose without the use of narcotics and habit-forming drugs. Don’t experiment! Be sure you obtain only the genuine Bayer Aspirin sold by Chemists in boxes cohtaining 12 tablets and bottles of 24 and 100 tablets —the Bayer Cross trade mark appears on every tablet. Bayer Aspirin costs no more than the uncertain imitations and loudly advertised substitutes, which physicians would not think of prescribing, L
