Historical Significance Of Camps
Name.
The Charlotte cantOnment has been
named Camp Greene" in honor OF
the celebrated Gen. Nathaniel Greene
of revolutionary fame who commanded
the American armies in the South and
made his name household word
through this section. 1t is OF espec-
ial significance that this notable New
Englander took command of the ar
mics of North and South Carolina and
Virginia in Charlotte on December 4,
1880 Immediately after the disastrous
defeat of the patriot army under the
command of General Gates at Camden,
South Carolina. 1t is matter OF his
tory that when General Greene took
command of the army of the revolu-
tionists. their fortunes began to i'm
prove. the end of the war being accel-
Grated by this brilliant Rhode Islander
through the victory achieved at the
battle of Guilford Court House. Cen
eral Greene assumed the leadership Of
the patriot forces in Charlotte on what
is now East avenue.

Charlotte's Water and Climate.
Charlotte's water comes from the
Catawba river, a distance OF II miles,
the plant having been built five years
ago at-a cost of approximately one
million dollars. It has daily capac-
tty of $4,000 900 gallons and a re-
serve capacity of 60,OOO,OOO gallons
Two million gallons daily run into the
cantonment according to present esti-
mates.
The physical aspects Of Charlotte
lend peculiar favor to the city. 1t
boasts OF climate of exceptional con-
geniality. The city is situated equi-
distant from the Blue Ridge noun
tains on the west and the Atlantic
ocean on the east, Wilmington being
the nearest seaport town and Ashe-
vile, in ''The Land of the Sky" it's
most favorite mountain resort. Char
lotte is practically IT'S miles from
each of these two cities. It's loca-
ton gives the city its delightful eli
mate. 1t has been pointed out by
an authority that with a single excep-
ton, this is the healthiest city in the
United States, according to the NOR
tally records. It is noted for it's free
dom from sudden temperature
changes, high winds and destructive
storms. The average annual temporal
ture of the city is 60 degrees, having
January as it's coolest month with an
average of 40 degrees and July as it's
hottest with 70 degrees. The aver
age number of freezing days during
the winter is 49, The climate of the
community was one of the strong
points which impressed the war de-
partment officials as to the advis-
ability of putting one OF the 16 army
environments here.
The fact that it is situated zoo
miles inland preeludes the possibility
OF a superfluous humidity which is
SO deadly in the summer months IN

what made you ask me that QueS-
ton about being on the Lady Sal
Via?" I asked Donna Tenney.
Simply because I seemed to feel
your presence everywhere on the
boat" she answered, but more than
all else, I felt it in Malcolm Stuart's
staterOOm. Why, Margie, that room
seemed more like you than even your
own room in your home"
Describe it to me-" l said. 81 am
very anxious to know what kind of
a room looks like me-" AS l said this,
little book, had a queer kind of ex-
citment inside of me. It seemed so
strange that Malcolm Stuart should
have a room in his boat-a room in
which he was to spend most of his
time-that seemed to one of my
friends to look as though had fur
uished it.
We'll, to begin, the woodwork is
all painted white"
There is nothing original in that"
said. Almost all boats are painted
white"
q know it." she answered, but
the carpet is white with sprigs of sal
via dropped over it. Over the built
in divan, which I suppose serves as
a bed, is a gorgeous silk cover of sal
via cover, and let into the panel at
the foot of it was the picture of a
woman standing knee-deep in glow
ing, blooming salvia-her arms out
stretched and her face raised in a
way that seemed to say, Pm glad I
am alive That woman, Margie, was
an idealized you"
"Oh, Donna, you certainly are TO
mancing. Malcolm Stuart never had
my pictuTe-in fact, I have not had
a picture taken in years"
Il can't help that, Margie, that
painting certainly looks like you
not as you look every day, perhaps,
but as l have often seen you when

eTnOOn, the sun came through the
window and suffused it with an I'M
canny radiance"
Did you mention my likeness to
MalcOIm?"
Il certainly did, and was met by
the assertion that the picture had
been painted by an artist in Italy
who had never seen you. Malcolm
Stuart said he, too, had noticed a re-
semblance. He said it seemed to him
to look as he imagined your joyous
soul must look when shining through
your eyes,"
THAT was pretty compliment"
1 interrupted, q am glad some one
thinks l have a joyous soul. Tell me
what else was in the room.
Nothing, except a small, glass
covered table on which was Won
derful piece of coral carved into a
spray of saliva and many books in
red bindings"
Il can't understand, Donna, why
the room looked like me. I am not
at all fond of red and would never
use it in the furnishings of a room
you certainly know that, Donna"
Eyes, . she answered, 81 know that,
and it may be the picture that stamps
the room with you, but somehow,
Margie, all the afternoon as l lay
there with that aching tooth had
the feeling that you were going to
walk in any minute? Why didn't you
come with us?"
q was not feeling VeTv we'll that
day, and besides Dick wrote me while
he could not get down for the sailing
party, there was a possibility that he
might get down in the afternoon, so
waited for him"
Devoted wife!" remarked Donna
lightly. Then she added more ear
nestly, "MaTgie, have often won

Dick. You had never had any mis-
