Harmonic Makeup With Fall
Shades
And when you've completed youl
fall wardrobe, don't forget your fall
makeup. The sha e of powder,
rouge and lipstick which has been
so becoming with your summer pas
tells may prove altogether inade-
quate with the deeper hues you are
wearing this autumn. Experiment
with a variety of colors until you
decide which is best suited to your
skin tone and the colors you are
wearing. And remember, the make
up which is most natural looking by
day Is not necessarily the one that
will make you most glamorons by
night. Many women have two COM
plete sets of makeup, II for day
and one for after dark. At night
you can get away with more vivid
colors which by day might make you
look artificial.
Bear these things In mind while
planning your fall glamour. A lit
tie forethought will save a lot Of
complications later on.

NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIA,
TION TAKES SURVEY OF
CONSUMPTION"
Disease Shown to be Most Active
Between Ages II to 80

Norfolk, Va. Oct. 10 amp
The report of the tuberculosis
Commission, National Medical AS
ISOLATION, recently released shows
that TB is much harder to cure
between the ages II to 81 and that
at this period i runs a more active
course. The disease is especially
violent among females aged Is to
81 years.
As age increases the disease is
much less active, although it must
not be thought that old people
don't have TB. On the contrary,
it is very frequent among them
and while not so dangerous to
themselves, they spread the disease
especially among children and 9TH
ers with whom they r in con-
tact.
The report dismisses an "inade-
quate and ineffective" such meth
DDS as bed rest alone, medicine and
vein injections and it recommended
such modern methods as Pneumo-
thorax or collapse of the lungs by
injecting air into the pleural cavi-
ty and other surgical methods of
obtaining complete rest for the
affected lung.
In its summary, the commission
strongly urges the support of local

CLOSEUP ON CLOTHES

With the first touch of chill in the
air. most of us are beginning to
think about fall clothes. There are
so many attractive things In the
shops that II Is hard to make a
choice. A number of new shades
have made their appearance this
fall, puppies, greens, reds and the
winter blues. For this reason the
wise woman will carefully plan her
entire wardrobe before she plunges
into a shopping spree. If YOU start
without a definite scheme worked
out, you are likely to find yourself
with a purple dress, red hat and
green bag, with perhaps a pair OF
blue shoes thrown in. Each looked
so irresistible in the shop that In
your enthusiasm you overlooked the
general effect.
Color Scheme important
The sensible thing to do before
you buy so much as Il pair of gloves
is to pick out a basic color and then
limit yourself to the various shades
which will harmonic with that
color. Suppose, for instance, you
have n green suit which is going to
do heavy duty this fall. Green Is a
very practical color since it looks
equally we'll with black or brown.
Thus, you may choose a hat in
black, brown or one of the new rust
shades which blend so well with
green. From there you can go on

ask, Noodr.ng? Why are Ne-
gro soldiers excluded from each
class Of the finance school? From
the quartermaster school at Phil
adelphia? From the chemical
warfare school? You say there
arc no provisions whereby these
men could be quartered. I am
wondering if there will be any
way in which these men can be
auartered when shells are flying
thickess"
Unfair Responsibility
Referring to scout ears granted
the Ninth and Tenth since 1888
and under command of a private
firss slasr, Pierce declares, 1T is
unfair for a man rated at $50 to
$40 monthly to have to assure
the responsibility of a $4,000
fully equipped scout car, while
not less than $3.50 monthly IS
among whites an officer drawing
rssponsb bic for a $4,000 ailplane.
Property value in dollars and
cents should be as important TO
the government. from one angle
as from another. To place this
obligation en- a man without Gle
recognit on is unjust.
ar Ninth cavalry pro'rotions,
10. example, they have been held
down to the point of longevity
rather than for efficiency. This
has been true through all Negro
regiments. Promotions have come
from likes and dislikes. This has
reduced the morale of the regi-
ments and has caused the army
to lose good men who would have
been an asset
In the Seventh corps area it
is an unwritten law that no Ne
gre from the regular army a
receive a reserve commission,
Pierce SAYS. He and another sol
der, Private Carl Russell, tried
it and were turned down on
physical qualifications with
enough defects to make each of
us a corpse" Others have been
rejected because of mental and
technical qualifications.
To War in 30 Days
Despite the pitiful lack of
training the Ninth will be given
exactly 30 days to get ready for
the firing line whenever war
comes, according to official or
ders. Meanwhile, without colored
officers the policy of suppression
continues. Pierce says that Lieut..
Col. T. F. Limbooker, executive
officer of the Ninth bases all his
decisions on racial attitudes and
the belief that "a Negro is not
equal to a white man.
From 193O-35, colared regi-
ments we're denied the right of
promotions except for one or two
in the upper brackets. The lily
white air corps was formed and
grades taken from colored units
to mako room for white soldiers,
with the result that the total of
Negroes enlisted dropped "from
5000 in 1881 20 less than 1850
today"
"Why are not Negro regiments

as those in which they are now
placed? he asks. "Why is ii

1t is an "unwritten law" to
