The Golden Autumn
Now that the rain is over and
gone and the sun is back again
on his job, The Advance rises to
remark that the most delightful
picnicking season of the year in
this good section is now on.
Many Advance loaders may
have the idea on reading the
foregoing sentence that the edi
tor is out of his head. Folks
generally think that the pic
nicking season ends with sum
mer; but, really, that is a gross
delusion. The most delicious
picnicking dayfi of the year oc
cur in late October and early
November?days when it's chil
ly and perhaps a bit gloomy in
the house but when all the out
of door's world warms up un-|
der a kindly and not too ardent
sun.
This doesn't mean the lan
guid and hazy Indian summer
of the very late fall or some
times even of the early winter.
It means crisp and vigorous
and seasonable autumn weather
when the air is crystal clear and
when the oscillation between
warm noons and cold nights
makes you think of the moun-'
tains.
Picnickers in the autumntide,
however, should be vigorous
and carefree, afraid neither ot
rheumatism nor of sunburn.
They should also lie unafraid of
burrs and all manner of adher
ent weeds that the thrifty seeds
furnish with ingenious means
of attachment to the tails of
cows and the clothes of those
who care to go a-gypsying in
October. The older the clothes'
the better; and for the mon
folks leather leggings are han
dier than either trousers or golf:
Stockings.
It is also important that the
picnickers should be free from
the obligation of a mid-day j
Sunday dinner and an after-j
noon Sunday joy ride and all
other barbarities. The best
hours for our picnic will be
from 12 to 4 when the sun is1
strongest. After 4, a zephyr is
liable to spring up and chill
oife's well-warmed hide.
A successful October picnic
requires an especially suitable
spot. It should be a clear space j
exposed to the sun during the
hours specified'in Ihe foregoing
paragraph; and yet it should be
contiguous to shade, in case the
sun should wax too hot.
The beauty of wood, lield and
stream is beyond that of any
other part of the year in late
October.

Norfolk Is Next
An interesting study is pre
sented in today's story l>.v Iiob
ert T. Small of the amazing
growth of New York City,
which, if the present rate of in
croase were maintained, would
become a "city of 28,000,000
souls by the year 2000,
But The Advance does not be
lieve that the present rate of in
crease will be maintained. Some
other city must take over the
overflow that crowds the limits
of the world's greatest metrop
olis.
In all probability the Atlantic
seaport that has most to gain
from the congested condition of
transportation, both of freight
and of passengers, in New York
is Norfolk.
More Laurels
We see by the up-state news
papers that Miss Catherine Al
bortson of Elizabeth City, but
with offices for the time being
in-the North Carolina College
for Women at Greensboro, is
featured frequently on the pro-j
gram of teacher and parent
teacher meetings as a speech-;
maker.
Miss Albertson has already
won laurels as a teacher and a
writer, and The Advance has no
doubt that she will make a rep
utation equally as enviable on
the platform. -
When we glance through the
advertising columns of a North
Carolina daily newspaper and
see a lady's oxford priced at
$16.50 we know that they lie!
who say that the war was,
fought in vain.
Wake Forest alumni in these
parts have a new glint in their
eyes since reading in the liews
papers that old W. F. C. is the;
most likely runner-up in the
contest for the State football
championship.
Let's hurry uj> with this race
between Zev and My Own and
have this talk as to which is the
faster horse done with.
Trouble is that folks who are:
for a third party ain't for Ford.'
