MANY NEGRO DOLLS BEING
SENT OUT.

Nashville, Tenn.-An announce
ment was made by the National Ne
gro Doll Company that their rush
season, which it usually has during
the Christmas, is just now on. This
is occasioned, declares the manager
of the company, on account of the de-
lay in the importation of material
from which these dolls are made. The
ship was caught and held as a prize
of war and was only recently re-
leased, hence, the material did not
reach Nashville until Christmas day.
But the people, says the manager,
were so determined to have the size
doll they wanted that they all replied
I'VE will wait to get the big dolls"
While hundreds of small dolls were
sent out, the manager declares that
it was surprising to note that the peo-
pie wanted the dolls ranging in sizes
from SEVENTEEN to THIRTY
SIX inches. The orders are being
sent out rapidly. Many of the
churches have sent in orders for dolls
that they might conduct their bazaars.
Dolls will be shipped throughout the
year, declares the manager of the
Doll Company, as we are ready to fill
orders as they come.

Miss Helen Gardner, the beautiful

stitutes beauty. Real loneliness lies in
the poise and control of expression.
she AYERS.
II believe. says Miss Gardner. that as
promoter of real beauty, the beauty of
expression. the picture play Is without
an equal. Symmetrical features and
clearness of skin are desirable gifts.
and the possessor Of them Is fortunate,
be envied more than beautiful CON-
plexion.
Unlike upon the speaking stage, the
figures ON the screen are enlarged to
many times their natural size, and In
the closing close up scenes every mus
Gle Of the face and every movement of
the eyes used to express the different
emotions are shown as though under
a magnifying glass.
1.-THE successful motion picture &C.
tress is thorough mistress of the art
Of expressive action and by 1t attracts
and holds the interest and sympathy
Of her audiences. Paint and powder
and colored stage settings play no part
in the influence she exercises or the
attention she commands. 1t is her
beauty-not the symmetrical beauty OF
face or figure. but the beauty of truth
and the magnetism Of soul reelected
and glorified in expression is the
real charm.

ronges II you will. They are harmless

The Far-Reaching Significance of
Segregation.
To the casual observer the assign
ment of space in a government build
ing to handful of colored civil serv-
ice employees would seem to be a
matter of trivial Importance. But
closer inspection reveals a deeper
significance. 1t is but the thin blade
of the wedge whose entrance threat
ems to split the log asunder. Should
the National Government adopt this
seemingly simple provision it would
thereby sanction all of the discrim-
inatory legislation on the statute
books of the several States and would
suggest and justify all such enact
ments in the future.
The Plight of the Negro.
The present plight of the Negro
is significant commentary on the
doctrine that the white race is good
enough to become the beneficent gov.
ernor of the Negro without his con-
sent or participation. There are
100000 Negroes in the United
States who are rapidly progressing
in intelligence and wealth and in re-
sponsible elements of power. He has
no voice in making, administering
or interpreting the laws by which he
is to be governed.
Men in the highest public place,
whose positions rest upon the basis
of a Negro constituency, denounce
their black constituents from the seat
of public power in language not to
be found in the lexicon of decency.
There is no voice answering back.
Legislation is proposed to humiliate
and degrade the Negro such as no
officer of the Government would dare
whisper concerning any other ele-
ment Of the nation. But the Negroes
tongue is tied and his voice is hushed
because of his political nullity

Properly there is only one verb for
love. It is not "amo." 1t Is not
"aimer." It is not the softest Italian
verb. No printed language Of man
knows it. But the violin knows It..
and the wild bird knows it; even the
sea knows it. The rose is it, and the
moon Is it. and the look of d mans
eyes into a woman's is 1t, and the look
of a woman's eyes back again is it.
But no man or woman can say it In
