The governor's proposal is no idle dream. All that is required to make it a success is to keep the 3teani3hip companies out of the railroads and his suggestion to have i lines owned or controlledby the state i provides against this shortcoming. i North Carolina possesses ualimit 1 1 ed waterway facilities, once they are , developed and utilized. The state i and the nation have too long neg " i lected the possibilities of waterway ! transportation. Nature has supplied :he United States with the greatest natural system of waterways in the world, yet the country has been very slow to make use of it. North Caro. Una's great coast area is an asset that has been neglected along with the rest o fthe natural resources that are waiting to serve commerce. A state-owned steamship line should jo more to bring about fair freight rates than all the hearings and ad justments that could be conceived. j The governor has started something i j worthwhile. It remains for the leg r islature. the corporation commission and the people of the state to awaken to the great possibilities of wat t Transportation. HISTORY I When you were seven and I was eight, We nsea to meet at your front (yard gate, And I carried jour books to school for you, Though the boys would tease me a j a lot, I knew; But I bore their jeers with a cour age stout. For you -were worth being teased about, And I felt, with a sort of a warm delight. You were my lady, and I your knight. When I was twenty and you nine teen, The days flowed bp in a way serene. With comradeship as our slender tether. We danced and chatted and walked together; Until, one night, in a whirl of bliss, Our young lips met in a long, long kiss, And we knew, as the wonderful moon shone bright, You were my lady and I your knight. ! als should lend their a!d to the You're slxy-two and I'm sixty-j cause by attending the meeting in ts . th.ree' , , , . , i which the Woman's club has taken But whenever I look at you I see The girl of s:-ven the lass, nine-lhe leadership.

The Woman's club has taken the lead in the matter by calling a meeting Wednesday night at the Sheraton hotel, at which time Miss Mary B. Palmer, of Raleigh, an authority on libraries and director of the State Library commission, will speak with particular refrence to establishing such an institution in High Point There is no necessity for a discus sion of the need of a library, but the methods of procuring one that will be worthy of a city of this size will be discussed. It is along these lines that Miss Palmer's recommen dations should be of intense value. Civic organizations and Indivldu. dor keen; I know the thrill that I used to: know When I squired you pridef ully. long ago, And now, as then, though our hair is white.

High Point, North Carolina's great furniture manufacturing city, next to Granj Rapids. Mich., hi that ndustrial respect, proposes to in crease her population to 21,000 by the 21st of November. High Point has grown into quite an Important city itself, and because of the furni ture manufacturing industry there some smaller towns have grown up outside the corporate I'mits. Tbey .-vre nevertheless a part aud parcel , of the city of High Point, but theli population is not enumerated witl: j that of the city proper. The whole city and suburbs are one as a busi ness proposlfon, but it has long been High Point's aim to take In her uburban neighbors. Annexation of outlying -town units is now the big Idea in Hlgt Point, so the city fathers have calL -d an election to be held Navem er 21 to let the citizens of the city nd neighboring communities decide by their votes whether they shall consolidate or grow on like a hill of onions. Civic spirit at High Point is rampant and It is reason- ble to conjecture that all cltyvoters ire one for extending the city s boundaries, but whether the subur ban population possesses the same civic spirit remains to be shown to he annexation election. Leaders ana boosters are clnti- dent that the election will result in consolidation and expansion, and it Is High Point's ambition to take -anK as Guilford county's largest city. In order to do that she would have to top the husky city of Greens boro in population, and even at that be furniture city will have to keep on growing if she hopes to indulg? her metropolitan ambitions long Guilford county hag reason a to be proud of two such cities, and cer. a'.nly Greensboro is proud of High Point. The Greensboro News Is a good sport, and rather admires High Point's nerve, for that paper says: "To be sure, all the persons in cluded In the proposed boundary are not of one mind about it; but it will be by no means a case of a majority within the present limits coercing a majority in the added limits. Pride '.n High Point, and recognition of the fitness of all those who proper. !y belong lnsid;, is not confined to those now actually inside. Many outsiders express the intention ol voting to come In; opposition it is expected will mainly be confined to the ownerg of suburban textile mill properties. High Point proper, there ?eems no reason to doubt, w 11 vote with practical unanimity for this en largement, which has been deliber ately considered for many months In all its implicat'ons."

His con federate in the crowd made a criti cism of some kind and Ernest ans wered. But so vindictive, abusive, and vituperative did Ernest be come, that out of sheer sympathy with the "innocent by-stander" th? crowd turned on Erne9t, and he was obliged to drive away leaving the eal owner of the c-ir advocating a lol'cy with which he was not in entire avrapathy.

Howev er, personal cleanliness Is a rather modern habit. A book on etiquette published at the time of Louis XIV advises polite society to wash their faces as often as once a week, and their hands more frequently As a matter of fact, soao itself Is of somewhat recent origin, and whll definite dsta regarding its first use seems lacking, it Is not thought NEW YORK.

One1 mellow bachelor of forty Is actually moving to get into the district. "In the old days," he txplained, "everv time I wanted to make a call from the office the ope rator listened in. As I was usual!-- trying to date some one up for lunch or dinner I wasn't keen about having the whole office know it. With the switch: board girl knowing, everyone knew. She used to rt cog nice some of the numbers I called, and her giggle and the office boy's smirk fo lowed. Under the new system I get all my own numbers, and while some one ma,y overhear what I say, no one gets the come back of the lady." Greater New York Is going to have a silver anniversary soon. Twenty-five years a city under the existing charter. And what a thriving Institution It Is! But this time it is the bride who takes the initiative In arranging the celebra tion.

The American Business Woman's asso ciation, Inc., will therefore offer its equipment and services for the thousands ot business women ot the country whose business activities bring them into constant touch with Now York on the occasion ot the c?lebrallon ot the anniversary.
