THE BOONE TRAIL HIGHWAY
(Salisbury Post)
Josephus Daniels, writing his paper
from Boone, says that the Boone
Trail highway is now complete and
that you can ride from Boone to
Winston-Salem in five hours in a fliv
ver. Dr. Daniels also rode over the
road being built into Blowing Rock,
there to connect with the highway to
Lenoir. When the whole project is
put through one can leave Salisbury,
go by way of Statesville. "and Wilkes
boro and to Boone, then to Blowing
Rock, to Lenoir, then to Hickory,
there strike the Central highway and
run into Salisbury. It will be a cir
cuit of great interest and every foot
of the highway will be of intense
value to the State, and the large ter
ritory touched.
The day does not seem far off
when the beautiful mountain section
of our wonderful State will be made
accessible. The well built highways
in which North Carolina leads will
enable all sections of the State to
travel to the beautiful mountain
lands, and to the rich coastal plains
in comfort and with ease. These
highways will also furnish delightful
automooue tours lor thousands from
outside the State, and with the com
pletion of the Present ambitions clan
the State ought to begin a well de
nned advertising campaign to impress
this great resort section on the tour
ists. There will he no fairer land on
earth, not only most 'beautiful, but
imade easy to view by reason of the
nne highways. If the State will
properly advertise what it has to offer
by way of sightseeing, vacation pos
sibilities, the tourists of other States
will pay a larsre share of the treat

AMERICA ESCAPES THE SUN
ECLIPSE IN SEPTEMBER
The fact that you do not live on
the east coast of Africa, Australia
or on islands in the southern Pacific
ocean relieves you of the unpleasant
ness of a dark day on Sept 21. On
that date, according to Prof. Edwin
B. Frost, of the University of Chi
cago and director of the Yerkes ob
servatory, a total solar eclipse will
occur over that region. The moon,
coming between the earth and the
sun, will cast a shadow which will
sweep over the southern sea from a
point off the eastern coast of Africa
near the equator, cross a few scat
tered islands and the continent of
Australia and, then out to the south
ern Pacific ocean, he said. The dura
tion of totality ' at different points
will' vary from three to six minutes,
and Prof. Frost declared this to be
an unusually long eclipse.
Expeditions from various astro
nomical institutions will be estab
lished at favorable points to study
the eclipse.
"The total eclipse of the sun al
ways has been one of nature's most
thrilling spectacles," said Prof. Frost
"It. gives a momentary glimpse of
the mysterious veil surrounding the
sun, called the corona, which is never
visible at any other time. Gieantic
rosy eruptions of flowing gas also
may be seen along the rim of the
eclipsed sun."
On Sept 19, 1923. he said, a to
tal solar eclipse will touch the coast
of the United States at Santa Bar
bara and near San Diego, Cal. After
the one of 1923 the next total solar
eclipse that can be observed under
favorable conditions in the United
States will be on Aug. 23, 2017.
EDUCATION PAYS
Does it pay to go to school? We
mean from a monetary standponit
Most emphatically, it does. If'vou
ever hear of a boy or girl who wants
to quit school, when it is necessary;
if you ever hear of parents who are
thinking of putting their children to
work when it is,, unnecessary, just
bring these figures to their attention;
Every day spent in school navs the
child $9.
Here is the proof, based on the
wage scale of 113:
Uneducated laborers earn on the
average of $500 per year for forty
years, a total of $20,000.
High school graduates earn on the
average $1,000 per year for forty
years, a total of $40,000.
This education requires 12 years
of school of 180 days each, a total of
2,160 days in the school.
If 2,160 days at school add $20.
000 to the income for life, then each
day at school adds $9.25.
The child that stays out of school
to earn less than $9 -a day is losing
money not making money.
