She Must Earn Her Own Living
Sometimes the sudden death of the bread-winner makes i»
necessary for girls and young married women to become self
supporting.
The question then is: “What kind of work can I get?”
Among the occupations open to girls, the most attractive and
easily learned is that of Stenographer or Private Secretary.
Other lines require ipalny years of study and disagreeable ap
prenticeship.
Stenography and Typing, on the other hand, is pleasant, well
paid work, with short hours and pleasant surroundings.
Earnest students mayv learn shorthand in a surprisingly short
time and thus be able quickly to earn their own way in the
world.

Shorthand Is Valuable to Young Men
Shorthand is, a particularly important study for young men.
Many men, now prominent and successful in business, began
their careers with the aid of shorthand.
Former President Wilson, you remember, found shorthand ex
ceedingly useful.
The young private secretary, too, has unusual opportunities to
study the broader phases of business and his work brings him
in contact with big men and big opportunities.
To the young man with his business career before him, we rec
ommend Shorthand and Typing, even though he may never be
destined for the usual work of the stenographer.

PORT GOMM1SSON
AWAITS REPORT OF
ENGINEER CHIEF
War Department Expected to
Make Recommendations as.
to Need of Local Terminal
When Governor Morrison’s ship and
port commission meets In Raleigh next
month, one matter that -will bfe given
serious consideration 1* the report by
the chief of engineers, In Washington,
on the needs at the port of Wilmington
relative to additional terminals, espe
cially public terminals.
State Senator Emmett H. Bellamy, ot
this city, who is a member of the gov
ernor's commission, has stated that in
his opinion this report would carry
much force with It, and that it would
influence the members of the body not
a little In the decision they are expected
to make to the general assembly rela
tive to the establishment of a state
owned line of steamships, with neces
sary terminals at some North Carolina
port.
Maj. Oscar O. Kuentz, United States
district engineer officer, prepared some
time ago. extensive statistics, which
show what the port of Wilmington now
has In the way of steamship terminals
and other facilities for the unloading
of cargoes. It is expected that the
chief of engineers will, after thorough
ly studying the report, file with the
district engineer a report, tending to
show what is needed1 at this port In the
way of additional terminals and facil
ities for the quick dispatch of ships.
It is not unlikely that the future ap
propriations by the government foe the
Improvement qf local waterways will
be influenced on the port’s ability to
provide what may toe considered ade
quate terminals.
NOTES OF NORTH CARO- I
LINA IN WAR OF 1812
(Continued from Pate Eleven.)
The most common will he assigned,
severally, to particular grades ■ next
year, for particular effort in those
grades.
(E) By incessant emphasis on the
part of the teacher.
(F) By asking parents to insist upon
better marks in language work in the
cases of weak pupils.
(G) By conference between teachers,
pupils, and principal.
(H) By having very weak pupils
work especially hard outside of the
class routine, in conference with the
teacher or principal.
(I) Especially in the seventh and
sixth grades, by adapting the language
work to the class section.
(J) Especially in the seventh grade,
by stressing those errors found bo
prevalent when the above mentioned
tabulation was made.
<K) By refusing to be bound by the
adopted grammar to the extent of in
flexibility.
In the seventh grade, the Willing
Scale was followed up, March 14, 1923,
by the Nassau County Supplement. Ap
proximately the same amount of time
was used in writing by the children.
These results were obtained:
Room 1 attained a median of 1.9, or
the third rating on the scale. The
Nassau scale, incidentally, is similar to
the Willing Scale, except that story
and form value are combined in a ten
paragraph scale. Room 2 attained a
median of 4.6. This is practically the
sixth step on the scale.
Bicycle Concern to
Move Quarters Soon
The ‘Wilmington Cycle company,
which started in business nine years
ago, has for some time found its store
at 215 Market street too small for its
growing needs and about May 1 will
move to 28 South Front street, J. W. H.
Futchs' old place, where they will add i
to their .line of bicycles and repair de
partment a full stock of sporting
goods, including fishing tackle, base
ball goods, etc.
J. R. Sneeden, who started the busi
ness in 1914, took into partnership last
year F. Porter Davis. In its new loca
tion the company expects to have one
of the most fully equipped bicycle and
sporting goods stores in the 'Carollnas.

Jusserand Cannot
Speak in Tarheelia
By H. EX O. BRYANT.,
WASHINGTON, April 21.—Jules J.
Jusserand, the French ambassador here,
has been invited to speak before the
American Legion meeting at Rocky
Mount, September 12, but deolined, ow
ing to the fact he expects to be out of
the country about that time.
Mr. Jusserand is a favorite diplomat
in Washington. Everybody likes him.
His business-like way, his affable man
ner and his readiness to co-operate
with Americans has made him very
popular. It has been reported for two'
years or longer that Mr. Jtfsserand
would be recalled a® ambassador. Those
who repeat these rumors explain that
he has not been able to influence Amer
ica to induce a more friendly feeling
toward France. There was nothing
wrong with the United States and
France during the World war. and Mr.
Jusserand did a good part by his coun
try. Sinoe the war there seems to be
a coolness and an aloofness on the part
of Americans. Many of the soldiers
who served in France are critical of
the country. The Washington govern
ment i not in sympathy with the
French program in Germany. France
has lost a great deal of what she had
for years hut It Is not the fault of Mr.
Jussarand , who Js well liked.
Mr.' Jusserand said he considered the
invitation from Major James A. lg>ck
hart, commander of the American Le
gion of North Carolina, and regrets
that he cannot attend the-Rocky Mount
session.
