far as picture making is concerned in
her career.
The reception of her first American

ed with great curiosity by producers
and fans, for the producers are so en-
thusiastic about her work thus far that
they have planned her next two-rThe
Cheat" and Don Caesar de BaZan"-

The changes wrought in Miss Negri's
appearance by experiments in makeup
and lighting have been source of de-
light to the European star. Recently
she saw Bella Donna in it's COM
pleted form and she was so enthusiastic
about IL that she sent the following
telegram to Jesse l.. Lasky, first vice
president, in charge of production of the
Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, In
New York:
81 am almost too happy to find words
to tell you that | think Bella Donna

NO REAL SHORTAGE
 OF LABOR IN U. g.,
 SAYS ". ". HUSBAND
Commissioner General Thinks Those Here Should Be Put to
 Construction Work.

"If everybody in this country was doing his full share along productive lines, there would be no need for 100 years to augment the labor supply by immigration, declares w w. Illus band, commissioner general of immi- grafton. "The natural increase of births over deaths would meet the de- mand."
 There is no shortage of labor in the United States, Commissioner General Husband maintains. The trouble is that too many men are endeavoring to live by their wits
 Don't cry for more immigration but put the workers already here to work" Is MT. Husbands solution for the industrial problem To back up his statement he points to facts developed within the past de- cade
 With unrestricted immigration from the world at large in 1913, the United States faced an oversupply of workers. There were more jobs than there were men to fill them, in the cities and on the>farms. Then came
 the world war. Almost overnight, the
 immigration supply from Europe was l cut off. Thousands of foreign born
 Tn the United States left to fight for l their native countries. Those re-
 maining found additional work in the
 munition factories and other war ac- | tIv1tleS.
 In 1917 the United States entered the war. Uncle Sam rolled up his shirt sleeves and demanded the same of everybody else More than 4,ooo,-
 900 able bodied men and boys were taken from peace time and industrial pursuits and drafted into the army. lConservatively the war took at least 5,ooo,ooo men out of normal business
 and industry. This represented 5 per
 cent of the total population and about
 25 per cent of the male workers of | the country.
 Yet in face of this enormous loss
 of workers, the United States pro-
 duced more in 1917 and 1918 than 1t
 ever produced before in its history. While there was curtailment in some
 lines, necessitated by the war, the in-
 creased production in other lines far exceeded the losses.
 | Too many men are leaving 1egiti-
 mate pursuits of labor and business, MT. Husband declares, to "get-rich-
 quick" They are filling the ranks of
 the bootleggers, the drug peddlers, the race-trakc followers and "hy by | night" promoters who are shirking I the real jobs that are waiting to be filled.

FILIPINOS DON'T LIKE
 MILITARISTIC RULE

Washington, Aug. 4-Little pub licity has been given the Filipino side of the ruction between them and Gen- eral Wood, governor general of the Philippine islands, and which has re- suited In the resignation of several Filipino officials because of "encroach- ments by the governor general upon the constitutional rights already en> joyed by the Filipino people, and against the usurpation of powers in direct violation of existing laws"
 According to- the Filipinos, General Wood, Tn true. military style, disre- garded law and reinstated an official who had been suspended from office. This was the continuation of long series of differences between him and the Filipinos, who said to him in their letter of resignation:
 "We have observed for some time past that 1t Is your policy and desire as governor general to intervene and' control, even to the smallest details, the affairs of our government, both ,insular and local, in utter disregard of the authority and responsibility of the department heads and other off, cials concerned This policy recently eliminated in an unfortunate incident which shook to it's foundations the public opinion of the country, when you, by undue interference with the powers and jurisdiction of the secre- tary of the interior and the mayor of Manila, reinstated a member of the secret service of the city who has been legally suspended from office, and whose resignation you subse- quently accepted on your own initia- tive.
 ''This series of acts constitutes a clear violation of the fundamental law of the land, and other legal provis- ions, especially those of act 28o3, and of section 2447 of the administrative code, and at the same time is back ward step and curtailment of Fili- pino autonomy guaranteed by the or ganic act (passed by the United States congress) and enjoyed by the Filipino people continuously since the operation of the Jones law"

THE TEACHING PROFESSION

Our Sister State, North Caro-
lima. has gained considerable pub
LEFTY as a progressive and grow
ing state, to a great measure
due TO the fact that she has IN
dertaken a tremendous road build
ing program, but member Of
the legislature has introduced q
bill in the General Assembly of
that state, that if passed will
cut the salaries of the teachers
Of public schools ten peg cent.
We do not presume to criticise
the action Of the legislator or to
offer him advice, neither do we
wish to speak disparagingly or
derogatorily of the state Of North
Carolina, but we most certainly
believe that the teachers Of Viz
cinia-if not Of North Carolina
receive less pay for the capable.
efficient and splendid service that
lis required Of them, which re-
quirements they fully meet, than
any county or state officials.
To our teachers is entrusted
the education Of the future citi-
.zens Of Virginia and they are q
most important factor in the
moulding of the characters Of the
leaders of tomorrow. Their SER
vice is a high and holy one. Much
lis demanded and Virginia and
Loudoun county is fortunate in
that the public schools are di-
lvcted and taught by conscien-
tious, professional experts.
We trust that Virginia will
look with disapproval upon the
measure Of the North Carolina
legislator and that Loudoun coun-
ty and Virginia will before many
years have passed, be financially
able, TOR we are confident that
this alone impedes) to increase
the salaries of her school teach
ers, those making secure the
sound principles Of government
and safe principles Of citizen

to be considered, for it is an IN
stitution, but of late years the
twills and tricotines have sup
planted it somewhat, perhaps be-
cause they do not wear shiny

really satisfactory solution of a

When one leaves the woods she
plunges into : perfect maze of
color and design, whether she is
seeking silk or cotton fabrics. For
in one respect the two are SINH
lar-both have yielded to the fas-
cination of the new printed motif
that is everywhere. There are
of course plain colors in both
cottons and woods; there will al
WAYS be dimities, Swiss, linen

plain fabrics are the exceptions,
not the rule. When the fabrics
are not actually printed, they arr

printing, though embroidery stand:
out rather more than the real
printed patterns. These embroid-
cries take the form of wool on
wool, silk or cotton; of cotton Or
silk and wool; and silk on all
three. They are, it goes without
saying, wildly gay.
If one were to attempt to enum-
crate the colors that the present
fabrics employ to their very ama2-
ing ends, she might go on end
lessly, for surely the dye-pots OF
the world are boiling over in their
busy eagerncss TO produce rare
shades. All that rare tapestries,
yarer paintings; all that the East

preston; all that nature has to
offer may he found in the decora-
tive fabrics of the hour. Not
only vivid, these colors, but used
in profusion, widely varying col
ors, many different tones, subtly
blended into marvellous whole.
One might use the word GLOW
ing" in connection with the reds
and purples--sWely they are
worthy Of the adjective-yet the
blues, greens and lighter shades
Of tan are rather cool, than gay.
1t is hard to fittingly classify
them, for one is ever conscious Of
the contrast that is the true law
of success. One fabric LOOKS as
though some painter man had
splashed the canvas Of the fabric
with his most vivid colors: an
other is gay, but bit subducd;
while third is positively demurc
in its soft tones and simple pat
