present administration doesn't
know the meaning of the word

state house to cut salaries and

answer to the problem of gett-

is to raise taxes.
At the very time that the

Stark Addresses Reserve
Officers; Election
Ends Convention

The United States Navy is giving
considerable attention to compart-
mentation - increasing compart-
ments to make it possible for a
vessel to take more damage and
still remain afloat-Admiral Har-
old r. Stark, chief of naval opera
tions, told the United States Naval
Reserve Officers Association at a
luncheon at the Hamilton Hotel
yesterday.
The two-day annual convention
ended with the election of national
officers, two of whom, the president,
1t. Comdr. r. A. Van Voorhis, and
the secretary-treasurer, John w.
Shultz, are from the District of Co.
lumbia. The other officers elected
are three vice presidents, 1t. E. L.
Rimpau, Los Angeles: 1t. Comdr.
w. R. Cole, Camden, N. j., and 1t.
Comdr. George Akers, Detroit.
Stark Praises Reserves.
Admiral Stark praised the work
OF the Reserve in the last war. He
told how much the Navy depended
on these citizen sailors, and ex-
pressed the hope it w0.Ld not be
necessary to mobilize them again.
He also gave an "off -the-record'
review of the Navy's problems in
their relation to other world powers.
Representative Melvin j. Mas of
Minnesota, colonel in the Marine
Corps Reserve, told the group the
naval expansion bill is one of the
most popular bills in Congress to-
day, and that the public is thor
oughly sold on the idea of a bigger
Navy.
The association adopted a num-
Der of resolutions, including one pro-
posed by the District of Columbia
delegation seeking for an armory
here, The resolution approved any
program of Federal assistance for
improvement of the present made
quate armory situation of both the
Naval and Marine Corps Reserve
throughout the country.

Handle your red accents with care,
however. Sparing use of them can be
eye-catching and effective. Too many
red spots have poster-like effect.
Some of the best matches are made
with jewelry and the equally orna-
mental polishes that fash from the
nails. If you have rings or bracelets
jewelled with rubies, garnets, carmel
ians or fine rose quartz, make the
stone reflect more glory by repeating
its color in your nail enamel. I've seen
costume jewelry duplicating the exact
color of fingertips, and have learned
that women are lacquering last years
junk bracelets, ear bobs and rings with
their nail polish.
Gloves can add the same interest if
you tie in their color to your nail
polish. One example is dark suede

uasting color in various nail-polish
shades. Lacy mittens and summer
gloves. minus fipgertips. that you see

New Bsovty Enssmblss
Illus makeup gets its color cue from
your wardrobe this summer more than
it does from your skin tones. The
orange-red and blue-red undertones in
makeup this summer are new in name
only. But what is newsworthy are the
co-ordinated color ensembles in face
powder. rouge, lipstick and nail polish,
perfectly correlated to the costume
shades that you will be wearing. Many
manufacturers specify what makeup
colors 60 with what costume colors.
One MATCHMAKING trick in makeup
is to match your face powder to the
veil on your hat. The color range in
the fragile matching wells is. of course.
limited to the flesh tints, but you have
variety of these in spun-sugar pinks,
lilac-sifted pinks and delicate golden
tones. The combination of powder
tints and misty yelling gives a color
through-col effect and more soft
focus picture of your face.
If you wear eyeglasses, you can
make these aids to better vision also
aids to smarter ensembles. You see
women everywhere making more and
more use of eyeglasses as jaunty ac-
cessory. and tying in the color of shell
frames to dress, jacket. a scarf,
a string of beads or hat. Red eye
glass frames. for instance, make a gay
color foil for red feather slanting
across navy blue hat. Or milhner
will make up hat to match eyeglass
frames in color and heighten interest
in both accessories.
You can further make your coiffure
repeat the up-swinging line of eye
glasses. The idea behind this, of course,
is to play handicap down by playing
it up. The google type of eyeglasses,
designed like harlequin mask, can
be accented with a hair-line detail to
increase their Puckish effect What
you do is to wing your hair upward at
the temples from center or side part
in the same tipped up lines that the
frames of your eyeglasses follow.

On February first Randall L. Ty-
us, for seven years salesman for
the Rumford Baking Powder Com
pany, was added to the Endowment
Campaign of Fisk University. Mr..
Tyus was graduated from Fisk I'm
iversity in 1892 and since that time
had been engaged by the Rumford
Company up to the time of his APP
pointment by Fisk. When Mr.. Ty-
us entered the employ of Rumford
he had the natural ability and am
bition to become a salesman but no
actual experience as that afforded
by the Rumford Company. How
ever, by hard study and close ap-
plication he gradually forged ahead
of those who had been in the Com
pany's employ for years and it
must be remembered that all of
the sales force of the Rumford
Company had been exclusively
white until the employment of Mr..
Tyus. 1t was Fisk University that
broke down the color line in the
Rumford Company's sales force
through Mr.. Paul K. Edwards, at
that time head of the Department
of Economics. Mr.. Edwards show
ed the Company the possibilities of
the Negro market and recommend
ed Randall L. Tyus. Mr.. Tyus has
received many concentrations dur
ing his rapid rise in the Company
and leaves behind him a perfect re-
cord with Rumford and the officials
of the Company regretting to lose
him.

The secret of the remarkable

preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam c. j. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today.
after over thirty-five years on

withstanding the fact that the

reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every

Nine. c. J. Walkers Glossine.
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives

Negro History Week

Negro History Week
Another year has passed and we
are observing Negro History Week
again. This observance is becom-
ing more and more popular. Schools
churches and civic groups are spon-
soring programs that give much in
formation and inspiration about the
progress of the race.
The Negro showed his ability in
many fields before Emancipation.
There were inventors, orators, tea
cheers, preachers, etc, during the
days of slavery. Freedom has
merely accelerated the speed of our
progress.
We are thankful for accomplish
ments that we have made in our
N years of freedom but this is no
time to stop and pick flowers by
the way. This merely indicates
what we can do if we continue and
trust in God. May every young
Negro use the hardships and ex-
amples of the past as a stepping
stone toward higher goals.
