The new arrangement which put
the Girl Scouts tea house within
reach of the public has made that
lovely spot on the point of land op-
posite the Washington barracks and
overlooking the eastern branch of
the Potomac a rendezvous for society
in the afternoons. 1t is the goal for
nearly everyone who motors in the
late afternoon, for the girls serve de-
licious tea and sandwiches at tables
under the trees and under a little
marquee here and there where one
may always find a breeze and see a
panorama of moving steamboats, and
seaplanes and airplanes from Boiling
field opposite. The point where the
tea house is located is now known
as Haines Point. whereas in the old
days when willow trees lined the
bank. it was Willow Point. 1t is here
that one may meet a great number of
the diplomats with little parties who
have motored down just to have a
cup of good tea in the open with
few glances out seaward past Alex
andria and the staunch forts below.

The fact that the Carolinas

first permanent settlements in
South Carolina were about
Charleston, while those in North
Carolina we're around Albemarle
sound. The life in the two Sec

South Carolina was largely de-
voted to the cultivation Of rice
and indigo and the planters soon
grew very rich with their large
estates on which the labor was
performed by slaves. In fact,
Just before the Revolution the
population showed twice as many

In 1729 the government Of the
I Carolinas was turned back by
the lord proprietors to the king
and there was then formed the
two separate provinces.

SKACIT BAY
DIKINC PROJECT
IS IMPRACTICABLE

Chief Engineer e. M. Chandler, of
the state reclamation board, has filed
with the reclamation board reports
in which he states that 80 per cent
of the soil is sand and that the cost
of the project is prohibitive regard
ing the Skagit Bay diking project,
which takes in $500 acres of land.
The report follows instructions which
the chief engineer received some
months ago from the reclamation
service to investigate the Skagit dix
ing project.
The investigation was made by
Chief Engineer Chandler and his as
sistant Earl Bracken, and the soil
analysis by the Washington State
College at Pullman.
Cost Per Acre $257.
Chandler points out in his report
that the cost of retaining this land
would be 1857 an acre, and the pro-
ject calls for the retaining of $500
acres of land. He believes that 1857
is a very low figure for the acreage
cost Of retaining the land.
The report will be considered at
the final meeting Of the reclamation
service board, or will be turned over
to Dan Scott, new director of con-
servation and development, who will
handle the work formerly considered
by the reclamation board.
