me that public subscriptions are taken
up among the merchants. and the city
and county each contribute *I2.5o per

foor in the center OF the city and has
grown to be looked upon as axture
and an absolute necessity. Several n,er-
chants have ft,ted up individual rest
rooms In their stores, but this In no
"ise takes tho place OF tho general
city rest room. II IS patronized daily
by hundreds Of women and children
from the city and county, and Is largely
used by visiting women az their head
quarters while in the city shopping.
II think the Idea al excellent one
and that every city and town In Vir-
Sinia OF any size, should have an In
stitution of This kind. My personal
opinion IL that II should be maintained
by the CITY Council, Supervisors and
merchants associations in the smaller

Much Talk Of railroad Across Northern
Neck-SomethinR Will Come OF 1t.
At recent meeting OF business men
in the Chamber of Commerce at New
port News IL was decided to grant an
extension OF time TO the hackers OF
the proposed Norfolk. Washington and
New York Railway until December 81
of next year 70 begin construction.
Among those present was +. s. Can
non, 2 Rector Street, New York, who
said that after the right of way had
been assured and provision made for
the terminals he had laid the plan be-
fore three of his friends in that city
and others, the result being tnvestiga-
lions as to the probable traffic for such
road. and the reports of the in
veRtigators was satisfactory. Consid-
cradle money has already been spent
for various purposes. including the MAX :
ing OF soundings for the bridges which
will be required.
The first part OF the line TO be built
will be from Newport News TO Wash :
ington. y. C, about $50 miles and Mr..
Cannon Is reported az saying that he
has arranged with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company for the line to
enter there over its tracks. He said
that the Baltimore and Ohio was in no
way interested in the proposed line
excepting as to the track agreement.
The estimated cost of construction OF
the division mentioned would be about
$S.0O0.0O0 He thought that the neces-
sary financing Sonld be arranged when
the European war ended.
Charming NJ Ward. OF Richmond, is
engineer for the line.
1t developed at the meeting that the
plan for a railway to Washington grew
out OF two other propositions. one of
these presented to Mr. Cannon for con-
sideration planned line from iIamp-
ton to Fredericksburg and the other
was the projected Northern Neck" rail-
road. He looked into them and was
finally impressed with the opportunity
for the construction of n direct line
to connect Washington and Newport
News.

The following is from the Manufac-
turers Record:
AT the last meeting CT the State
Board Of Agriculture of Virginia 1t was
announced that Bert Haines a truck
grower OF Norfolk County. sold last
year $4,000 worth of vegetables raised
on siN-acre farm. The soil upon
which crops averaging $4,000 an acre
were raised are found In 10000 600
acres of land stretching from the
Chesapeake basin along the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts into Texas The soils
are known the Norfolk fine sandy
loan. the Norfolk fine sand. the Ports
mouth series, the Coxville fine sandy
loan and the CoXville sandy loan, all
especially adapted TO truck growing
The agricultural possibilities in these
soils is indicated in the fact that of
the Norfolk fine sandy loan not more
Than 100000 acres are used for any
agricultural purpose, except grazing,
and smaller area Is devoted TO truck
growing. II all the i,eS2.99a acres of
Norfolk fine sandy loan that have been
traced could be made TO WELD on the
average per acre as much as Bert
liaines obtained from his six acres,
the actual output would be worth
$4,000. 100000, sum not much less than
the value OF all agricultural produc-

suit is possible only Statistically But
