Dimples and Rags. Children of South Russia have nothing much to make them happy. Their clothing is nothing but rags, hundreds of them have no homes and their only food is what they can beg, steal or pick up in the street. Schools have been abandoned and they have nothing to do but roam the country.

National Photo Company

During the administrations of Presidents Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, the National Photo Company supplied photographs of current news events in Washington, D.C., as a daily service to its subscribers. It also prepared sets of pictures on popular subjects and undertook special photographic assignments for local businesses and government agencies. The bulk of the images were created between 1909 and 1932. The photographic files of the National Photo Company, including an estimated 80,000 images (photographic prints and corresponding glass negatives), were acquired by the Library from its proprietor Herbert E. French in 1947.
