Roosevelt is about to break a tradition. There are fairly strict rules for labeling ships of war. A battle ship is called after a State, a heavy cruiser rates a big city, a light cruiser a small city, a de stroyer honors some naval hero or some distinguished friend of the Navy, and a submarine takes the name of a fish or some animal that is at borne in the water, v Aircraft carriers enjoy more free dom, for they can be named after early fighting ships of our Navy or after battles. Thus the Sara toga, the Bonhomme Richard, the Kearsarge. But until now no ship ha been named after an imagin ary place, the creation of a story-tellers dream. One is sniiur to be so entitled.
