THE EVOLVED CAUCASIAN
AND HIS SOCIAL SYSTEM

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
Permit me to submit a few para
graphs in an appeal to your religious
Caucasian readers In behalf Of their
own race. In our present social system
there are poor descendants Of ancestral
plutocrats, and there are plutocratic de-
scen1ants of paupers. There Is no con-
tinuous dividing line through the gen.
erations between tho working and the
wealthy classes. The extreme condi-
tions Of plutocracy and poverty with the
fluctuations between them result from
a social system that does not conform
to the present stage of Caucasian evo-
luton, and this non-conformity prevents
the full enjoyment of life. Morality is
nothing more nor less than conduct that
best serves ones race. The habits rep
resented by our social system are vio-
lations Of morality and of natural law.
Any violation of law is anarchy. The
term anarchy Is usually applied to the
violation Of man-made law. But there
is far worse anarchy in the violation OF
law. For such violations
penalties will be exacted. Neither the
titles CT Europe's impecunious prin ce-
lings. nor the bank accounts Of Am
erica's plebeian plutocrats. nor the con-
junction Of the two can prevent the ex-
action Of the penalties.
(Ny next paragraph will give the
unities of evolution).

CONFEDERATE FLAG

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
have just read the letter of "a
Southern Natron," and heartily agree

Bars deserve a place In every Southern
Home. 1 will go further. I say that
the Confederate flag deserves the re-

men who died fighting for what they
thought was right have left page in
history Of which any nation might well
be proud. and every other Southern

failed to love and respect the flag for
which our fathers died.

most of US realize It; but few like
Mangan, Spencer, and "A Comorade,

Trips To
Norfolk Attractive

With the black bass jumping to the
fishermen's hooks in Lake Smith. with
q 400-mile sail to reach the fishing
grounds, and the hospitable doors OF
the Chamberlin Hotel wide open at the
end of the journey, the weekend Nor
folk trip of the Norfolk and Washing
ton Steamboat Company, is specially
attractive at this time.
The steamers OF the company, modern
and well appointed, give every convent

are many other attractions. The seem

One-Third of Actress
Success Due to Her Arms.
Success to an actress" said Miss
Shattuck. "is two-thirds due to per-
sonal attractiveness. and the arms
easily amount to a half Of the por-
tion. The general appearance of q
woman when she appears before an
audience must be impressive, but
after the picture has fixed itself In
the eye of the auditor. the arm plays
the important part.
practically all Of the gestures used
in acting are made with the hands
and arms and on this account they
must be the attraction de resistance
OF the artist. The average woman
pays too much attention to her face
and figure to the neglect of more
important factors. A perfect arm
must be round and plump, but NOT
fat. and should taper gracefulIy from
the SHOULDER to the elbow and round
out in'a delicate curve from there to
a small wrist. where a small hand
with long expressive fingers taperfne
TO well-kept nails completes the pic
ture."
Miss shattuck's arms have served
her well in other capacities besides
acting. She has posed for several
artists VINO required per-
fect arms In their work. and probably
has lad more photographs taken dis
this charm than any other
woman In America.
