One of the greatest divines of the Baptist Church is in our midst for an indefinite stay, in the person of Dr. J. Douglass Herben, late of Atlantic City, N. J., at which place for seven years he pastored the leading church of that denomination. [Portrait of a man in formal attire, seated in a chair with a decorative backdrop]. THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD Dr. Herben comes to the Coast highly endorsed by his connection throughout the country, his credentials from the church, the press, public officials and laymen paying him the highest tribute as a pulpiteer and great force in the religious uplift of the race. His strong force seems to be his ability to get results by saving souls and maintaining the church, and when the results of his efforts as an evangelist and preacher are taken into account it is no wonder that his fame has preceded him here. proud when he City to find the largest and best whom honor is.

A record which shows for itself his great ability. At a meeting of two weeks duration in Roanoke, Va., which he conductd, there were ninety-seven conversions and fifty-six accessions. The following article from the Christian Banner, published at Philadelphia, will give an idea of Dr. Herben's great work in the East. We are proud of the work that has been accomplished by Dr. Herben in Atlantic City, and of the magnificent church which he has given to the Baptists of that city. It makes every Baptist feel MUTI MUTILATED PAGE Volume 27 We want to compliment the church on the fact that they showed their appreciation of the service of Dr. Herben by giving him one of the greatest farewell receptions ever tendered a prelate in this section, and we are glad to number the Second Baptist Church among the nobler churches of our denomination which are willing to give honor to The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or details.

So Los Angeles Baptist and religious circles in general are glad to have in our midst such characters as Dr. Herben, and feel honored with his presence. He is at present conducting a series of meetings at Furlong Tract, at the Harmony Baptist Church. He is a forceful and eloquent speaker, and all of our people should avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing Dr. Herben. He is a man who does not stand and wait for things to turn up, but goes aftr results, hence on his arrival in our city he got right into the harness to work and to do good. Great work is needed all over our land to keep up and maintain our religious institutions, and we need in our midst men of the type of Dr. Herben. And we truly hope that he will see fit to remain in this bailiwick and make even a greater record than he did in Atlantic City. Dr. Herben's wife is one of the leading educators of the East, and has been of inestimable help in the great results which have been his. She is at present principal of one of the public schools at Roanoke, Virginia. The Doctor at the present time is field secretary of the Western Division of the Baptist Conven LATED CALIFORNIA Los Angeles, Cal., APRIL 10 1914 OUR CITY FORUM According to Webster's definition of the word, it was a public place in ancient Rome where causes were tried: a tribunal, Jewish diction. But according to a more modern use of the word, it is defined as being an organization where public questions are discussed, for the purpose of assisting other kindred organizations in the development of the highest possible public sentiment in order that such decisions may be reached by the public that will be in harmony with the highest combined interest of all. Our city forum was organized about fifteen years ago when the colored population of the city was less than 2000, which was less than one-tenth of our present number. The organization has passed through many discouraging conflicts, which at times has put the institution to the severest conceivable tests as to its right to live and flourish in the community. Through all of its struggling periods a faithful few have patiently clung to it, and community as a sentiment, moulder, and an intellectual and a moral lever to help push forward all laudable causes of the race. The motto of the forum has at all times MRS. J. DOUGLASS H been simple and noble, but under some of its administrations its executives have not been as careful as they sohuld have been in ruling out all party politics, sectarianism and personal matters. Hench much of the time was spent clashing over matters which were of but little or no value to any one. We are proud to say now that we have outlived those days of seed-sowing, and that we are now reaping splendid harvests from the same ground over which we once carried grevious burdens. Our present administration is one of the best that could have been had in this or in any other city: Capt. F. H. Crumbly, president; Theo. W. Troy, chairman of the committee on program, and J. R. Scott, secretary. The splendid results which are being achieved through and by the Forum are largely due to punctuality of those three officers. President Crumbly is a man of unusual executive ability, and while he is well up in his knowledge of parliamentary usages, he is no slave to dead formalities. So consequently his rulings are of the very highest practical order. Mr. Troy is a man well informed as to the needs of the hour, and he is constantly on the alert for the right persons, to come before the Forum and speak upon the right subjects; and as to how well he is succeeding, one simply needs to attend her sessions from time to time and he or she will be made to wonder where and how does our program committee get in touch with so very many of the right sort of persons to discuss those live issues which mean so CANNOT BE IMPROVED much to the race. Mr. Troy is the right man; he is in the right place; also it is a well known fact that a faithful and competent secretary if any institution means everything to the life and the service of the organization. Such is our fortune in the person of Mr. J. R. Scott. He is truly a lover of his race; and a young man of whom we should all feel pround. There are quite a large number of others, men and women who are highly deserving of personal mention, on the account of their untiring fidelity and spirit for the welfare o the Forum Among them are Mrs. Owen, our treasurer, who never misses a meeting when it is possible for her to be present; A. J. Jones, vice-president, and J. W. Coleman who is a splendid prospect as a presidential possibility at our next election. The roll book of the Forum is always open for the increase of its membership, but only men and women who are of a good moral reputation are solicited, being a member of the Negro race. The Forum is strictly a racial institution, and a booster for the race everywhere. Since you are a Negro, pure and simple, the Forum invites you to come to its meetings. If you are rejoicing, it will help you to rejoice; and if you are an unfortunate or in need, it will seek to lighten your burdens. We may truthfully say here that a larger-hearted body of men and women do not assemble anywhere in our city than the body constituting the Forum, which meets at 4:30 p. m. every Sunday at Odd Fellows' hall at Eighth and Wall streets. There is no task too large for them to undertake, if it is for the uplift of member of the race, regardless as to what church, no church, or of whatsoever political party you may belong. All they demand of you is to know that you are a man or a woman of integrity and a booster for your race, so long as you do not attempt to bring those personal matters into the Forum. All of the regular sessions of the Forum are opened and closed with prayer, and throughout all of the deliberations the very highest order and decorum is observed. Hence if you care to spend one and one-half hours pleasantly and profitably, from 4:30 to 6:30 p. m. you can do so at your leisure. Last Sunday was young men's day at the Forum. The program was simply grand. The participants were William Wilkins, a pianist who is destined to become one of the world's great wonders in music. Also Mr. B. H. Jones, who is his close second, rendered a musical solo. Dr. Lenard Stovall had a paper on the needs of a hospital which was practical and instructive. The doctor outlined his subject under three distinct divisions: First, the hospital as a home for the patient; second, as a school with object lessons for nurses and, third, the knowledge imparted indirectly to the public through resident nurses going out among the people, and in this way to a great extent the public gets valuabel lessons and knowledge in the care of the sick in the home. Douglass Warren is a young man of no mean ability as an orator. Indeed he is highly deserving of credit for all that the name "Douglass could mean to us." Last but not the least of this personal mention was the speech made by Attorney Afew McDowell, subject, the needs of an efficient leadership for the race. Mr. McDowel was introduced by EAGLE EXAMPLE OF YOUNG BUSINESS MEN MAKING GOOD Chairman Troy as an orator of the Du Bois type, which would have embarrassed many of our lesser lights, but Afew did not seem to have been daunted in the least by the flattering introduction which he had received. He gave some very splendid definitions, and drew some fine conclusions as to what constituted an efficient leadership for the people. But he said that no leader was efficient to lead the people who could not impart the facts of his capability to the people themselves; and in proportion as the public could see in the leaders those qualities he could become an efficient race leader. Upon the whole the address was a grand one. The yonug men did great credit to the race and we hope that they may soon be called again to appear before us. Our president closed the session by urging the people to subscribe for our race papers. The writer was highly pleased at his remarks along this line; they were indeed timely and doubtless many were sufficiently influenced by them to cause them to do business with one or the other of our editors. We close this brief review of the Forum by saying that whatsoever of credit it merits from the public, the praise is all due to its active members who are affiliated largely with the church. Let God be praised for all good things. "For it is in him we live and have our being." H. F. HENDERSON. [Image of a man with dark hair and glasses, wearing a suit and tie.

Dones, one of our young business men; the whole race should feel proud of Mr. Dones, who is at present engaged in the insurance and real estate business, 412 Germain building. Mr. Dones deserves the patronage of every colored person in the city, for he has in the past proven his ability as a successful business man and his rapid advancement is more than remarkable. When calling at the office of Mr. Dones we always find him busily engaged transacting business with all classes and races. Mr. Dones is doing a splendid fire insurance business and it is but justice to the race as well as to this young man if every member of the race would allow him to look after his interests in this respect. He is now associated with the enterprising young attorney, C.A. Jones, where he extends a hearty welcome to all interested in his line of work. The Eagle highly recommends Mr. Dones. Inmen YOUNG BUSINESS ING GOOD Mr. Clarence Irwin, one of the energetic young business men of the city, an excellent judge of plays, having participated in a large number, comments as follows on the drama, "On the little Big Horn": "All lovers of good plays and persons interested to any extent in romantic drama, should by all means witness the above performance which is to be staged at Elk's Hall next Wednesday evening, April 15th. In the first place the play is being staged by ambitious young actors desiring to place before the public something of merit and re- ceive in return just recognition. Nothing cheap or frivolous is being attempted but an instructive performance from which every one present will derive a lifelong lesson and benefit. Well trained players., attractive scenery and brilliant costumes will feature the occasion as well as the literary qualifications. The prices are reasonable so that everybody can have the opportunity of enjoying this treat—meet there." THE NEW YORK TIMES Mr. Dones we always find him busily engaged transacting business with all classes and races.

GEORGIA STATE SOCIETY ENTERTAINED Friday evening, March 27, Mrs. Willie Williams and Mrs. N. E. Hall, of 1240 Long Beach avenue, entertained at the cozy home of Mrs. Hall, the George State Society. The home was tastefully decorated with the state colors, white and green entwined, with white carnation sand ferns. The lavishly laden dining table was further beautified in the center with a hand painted vase containing ferns and Easter lillies in which the rooms were also decorated. Each guest was presented with a carnation and piece of fern. A high class literary program was rendered which was begun with prayer by Rev. Lambert, a solo, Miss Cornelia Leggett; reading; Mrs. E. Childress; vocal solo, Miss Rosemond; remarks, Dr. L. Storall; reading, Mrs. Dr. Leggett; vocal solo, Miss Nelson; remarks, Mr. Eugene Walker. After the rendition of the program the guests then assembled in the dining room and were served with a three course dinner. The color scheme was carried out in the refreshments. The cream was served in white bricks, each of which bore a "G" of mint in the center. First A. M. E. Church fair will open May 11th, 1914, the second Monday evening, and will continue for five evenings. It promises to be among the best, if not the very best, church fair ever given in this city. It is hoped that there will not be anything to conflict with the fair. Each evening there will be a program rendered. Watch the columns of this paper for further particulars and program in detail. The proceeds are to be applied on the debt of the church which we hope to reduce considerably this conference year. Metropolitan Baptist Church tended for its rights in the comp. Pasadena, Cal. April 8, 1914. Sunday was a busy day and full of interest. Rev. Geo. W. Hall, acting pastor, gave a very interesting review of the Sunday school lesson after which he preached a soul-stirring sermon at 11 o'clock, taking for his subject, "Christ our example for service," from Luke 22:13-27. In his discourse he said true servants of God are those sent by the Holy Ghost. In the whole course of Jesus' life he ever took the place of a servant. Those who spread the palm branches one day, cried crucify him the next. Two were united to the church. At 3 p.m. the Eastern Star held services. Rev. Alfred C. Williams not being present, Rev. Hill preached their sermon. Subject, "Follow the Star" Matt 2:2;; and now the Rev. has promised to follow the star soon himself. The Reverends Fleming and wife were present. Evening services, sermon from Matt. 10:38, "Take your cross." Jesus led the procession of cross-bearers. Let each of us take upon ourselves a personal cross. The communion was also given. We are learning to know Rev. Hill as an able minister and a man of business qualities. He was with us in our business council last Thursday evening.

Allen Reese, Correspondent Our beach correspondent has been appointed beach agent for sales in Dunbar Tract, which has just been placed on the market by Goding & Thompson. Venice is soon to boast of a hotel, lunch room and soda fountain for the exclusive patronage of its colored residents and visittrs to the vicinity. This project is being fostered by Mr. John Bridges, who has moved to the beach and is located at Fifth and San Juan avenues. He expects to spend $4000 and will himself superintend the construction. With the municipal election near at hand the Venetian colored population is attracting no little attention. None have pledged to support individual or party and as a consequence both political factions are baiting their hooks with attractive promises in order to land the much prized "negro vote." The Golden West Literary and Social Club, after marking time for three months, heard the command "Forward March" on last Monday evening. The club met at the home of Quince Tabor, and there an enjoyable evening was had. An important feature of the meeting was the discussion of what would be done with the $12 in the treasury. Some were bent upon spending the money for a frolic. Manuel Murrell thought it best to buy Bibles and distribute them as souvenirs to the club members. J. Allen Reese thought it best to place $10 in the bank and keep $2 on hand for current expenses. The matter was voted upon and as a consequence the money was placed in the bank on term deposit at 4 per cent. The club will elect its officers at its last meeting this month. Next meeting to be held on third Tuesday at the home of Walter Edmonds in Sawtelle. "A clean-cut man." Such was your editor's opinion of the genial Recorder of Tulare county, whom we met on our recent visit to Visalia. Without any hesitation or excuses Mr. Christman showed himself to be the man whom we vouch for, as friendly and appreciative of his colored constituents.

We held meetings every night and prayer services in the afternoon. Every one was revived and six added to the church, one by baptism. Rev. Allen is a noble worker. His heart is in his work therefore he is bound to succeed wherever he goes. Sunday, April 5, Miss Beatrice Rainbow was baptized by Rev. Allen and received into the church. Sunday evening Rev. J. L. Allen organized a Christian Endeavor Society with Bro. Payne, president. Rev. Allen lett Monday morning to attend district convention at Stockton. As this was his first trip to Allensworth he was very much pleased with what he saw and intends to return soon and make quite a stay. The officers and members of the First Baptist church of Allensworth have pledged themselves to begin work on their church in the near future. You will hear more about us soon. Rev. Simpson of Fresno, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, is with us and will preach for us this evening. Easter services Sunday Monday, April 6, Mrs. J. W. Singleton entertained at Hotel Allensworth in honor of her daughter, Mrs. J. L. Williams of Alameda. The ladies report a very pleasant time. Mrs. Julia Smith, who spent the winter in Denver, Colo., visiting her husband, returned home Monday morning. She says while her friends were kind to her and she had a pleasant time, but there's no place like home even if it is in Allensworth. Mr. Grigsby, who works in Backersfield, is spending his vacation here with his family. POLITICAL. Mr. Court Smith, candidate for election to the office of sheriff of Tulare County, spoke to us at the schoolhouse. Some say they will vote for Mr. Smith. He is a booster for good roads. Mr. Rosenthal of Tulare accompanied him. After the speaking was over the Progressive Association came to order, and the members of the election board were nominated and elected. Mrs. Anna Mills Johnson for County Superintendent of Schools of Tulare County. The voters of Tulare county will have the opportunity of voting for a woman to supervise the schools of the county for the ensuing term, in the person of Mrs. Anna Mills Johnson of Visalia. She is in every way fitted for this most important position. She has spent 26 years in the public schools of this county and has always had the distinction of being one of the best teachers of the same. In her candidacy she has a large circle of friends and supporters who—knowing her real worth—will laave nothing undone to elevate her to this position. Our people will find in her a friend who will zealously guard the interests of all the people. The colored residents of Visalia speak of her in the highes of termts and are among her staunchest supporters. She, through this medium, solicits the support of our people to this position. F. H. Lambertson for County Attorney. Hon. F. H. Lambertson, our present and efficient County Attorney of Tulare county, is up for reelection to that position and is deserving of a hearty support on the record he has made in that position.

We want to see what is the matter and also if we really have civil service. We invite our readers to become better acquainted with us; we want you all to feel that this journal is a mouthpiece for all, and when you have anything of general interest come up, tell us, or write of it and send the same to us.

POLITICAL PARASITES Just now the season is on for the political parasite to prey on the unwary patriot who aspires to the honor and glory and the emoluments of public office, and just how some of these political leeches ingratiate themselves into the confidence of these both seasoned and embryotic political aspirants is an enigma that we are unable toravel. As a matter of fact, their glowing promises to do something are only hot air. The great common people shun these parasites and are not influenced for one minute by them. Whenever there are great questions to be decided, especially wherein their suffrage is a factor, they seek knowledge and in doing so they are not going to look for it from these political leeches. PUBLIC RECEPTION FOR HOWARD DREW World Champion Sprinter of the University of Southern California, at Eighth and Towne Church Tuesday Night, April 12th.

At present they are stopping at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Barnes in "F" street. A Case of "The Blame But Not the Game. The cause of this wall is the folowing clipping from a recent issue of the Topeka Plaindealer: "We note with pleasure that our old-time friend and co-worker, Jos. B. Baes, Editor of the Los Angeles California Eagle has recently taken unto himself a help-meet. The name of his bride has been misplaced in our rush, and we are sorry the same cannot be located." "However, Joe is one of the best old boys the country ever produced, and from what information we have been able to glean from this great distance his bride is one of California's best—a woman of beauty, culture and refinement. With these high attainments, and Joe's pleasant disposition and great hustle ability, their future will be bright and happy. "Mr. Bass has a host of warm, personal friends in this, his home city, among both races, who join with the Topeka Plaindealer and the entire staff in wishing him luck." We appreciate, more than words can tell, the sentiment expressed—especially coming from our old home and from those who have known/us for a life tine. But we look around, and—where is the game? We have it not! On our return of a month's tour of the State we found upwards of a hundred letters from friends throughout the country congratulating us; but—we cannot say "Thank you," as we have not—as yet—taken unto ourselves that "beautiful and accomplished bride. But, we promise—if we are EVER so fortunate as to take unto ourselves the same, we will notify our Alma Mater, and they will not take any "falls" out of our stock in the matrimonial field.

Lambert, a Pullman porter on the Grand Trunk Railroad between Montreal, Can., and Chicago, found $1,000 worth of diamonds and $150.00 in money belonging to Mrs. and Mrs. Long of Montreal. The Longs were aboard the train that reached Chicago Thursday, March 19, late in the afternoon, just east of Chicago. Mrs. Long took off her belt in the toilet room and left it there. The Longs took a Santa Fe train for Los Angeles, not knowing of their loss. The porter found the belt containing the $150 and diamonds worth 1,000. He turned the find over to the officials of the G. T. R. with the information that Mrs. Long was the last woman in the compartment. But the Longs missed the belt further on and are now on their way back to Chicago to reclaim it. No name of the porter was given in the article of a Chicago daily; but a Chicago Defender reporter learned from the Pullman Co. that the reporter in question was Geo. W.

MUTILATED PAGE STATISTICAL REFERENCE AND DIRECTORY OF SAN The furthermost point in Southern California is the beautiful city of San Diego. In our research of statistics in line with our efforts to exploit the status and accomplishments of the race on the Pacific Coast, we have to chronicle here a citizenship that bids fair to make in the not far distant future a highly commendable showing along all of the various lines which has attracted the attention of the cixilized world to the progress of a possibly less favored race. In their efforts to rise in this particular community, as in many others, they have the support of the best class of the opposite race, who at all times are ready to aid and assist them in any worthy undertaking. We met here the people of both races in al lof the various walks of life and find an optimistic feeling by all for a grater and better San Diego. With a negro population of more than 1000 as artisans, skilled and unskilled labor, and a sprinkling following business pursuits, we can truly say that they are making an effort to be counted as a part and parcel of this fifty years of progress which has challenged the admiration of the civilized world. The following facts in figures will speak louder than words as to what this people have and are accomplishing along these lines: value of church property owned by them, $65,000; approximate value of property owned by them, $400,000; population, 1350; voters, 650; working at the trades, 83; chauffeurs, 17; jewelers, 2; chiropodist, 1; contractors, 8; garbage contractor for city, 1; employed by City Street Department, 15; employed by county, 2; restaurants, 4; livery business, 1; mail carriers, 2; laundries, 2; rooming houses, 3; barber shops, 2; churches, 3; lodges, 4; pharmacist, 1; grocery store, 1; social club, 1; civic organization, 1.

San Diego is one of the most enterprising and broad gauged cities of the Pacific Coast and is made up of a citizenship that stands for progress. We are proud to state that in every movement for its continued progress the colored citizens are found on the right side supporting these movements; and in compiling this work showing their status in this community the following firms generously contributed to make the same possible, for which we are very thankful Note—This work has been extensively published in the California Eagle and in the present book form.

The grounds have been secured and the city park commissioners are leaving no stone unturned to get the grounds in shape and to make the park as attractive as possible. Have you ever visited McKinley Park? It is one of the most beautiful places in all California. It lays just south of Sacramento and contains about forty or fifty acres. The large oak trees have made almost a continuous canopy overhead thereby shutting out the sun at all hours of the day. Its pleasure features are almost unexcelled. There are great spaces for baseball, lawn tennis, croquet and a swimming pool, also a small zoo. The park affords all the sport and pleasure that one might look for. Main Features of the Chautauqua The main features of the Chautauqua will be a great gathering of prominent orators, the learned men of both races. For when we tell you that the coming of ex-Attorney-General W. H. Lewis of Boston and Miss N. H. Burroughs is assured, together with the probable appearance of Bishop Parks of the A. M. E. Church; W. T. Vernon, ex-registrar of the treasury; Drs. McCoy and Gordon of Los Angeles, and other prominent men of the South, you will agree with me that there will be a great concourse of racial intellect that this race can be proud of, men able from every standpoint, orators of no mean ability, the most of them having national reputation. Together with the best who are members of our race there will also be present the governor of the state, the attorney-general of the state, the United States senator from our state and congressmen from our state, together with such men of our general association as Drs. J. M. Rid- MUTILATED PAGE MENTO. dle, G. C. Coleman and J. T. Jones, Professor L. J. Williams and others of our local district of the Young People's Union and Sunday School. Now when I say that McKinley Park during the 23d of June and the 1st of July will be the Mecca for intelligence I feel assured that you, after reading the above names of the persons spoken of and being acquainted with them from a religious and political standpoint, you will say with me that it is well worth paying a visit to the Chantanqua. The Purpose of the Chautauqua. The purpose of the Young People's Chautauqua is to bring about a large united social gathering of our young people. Each summer we find that the Sunday schools and young people's societies give picnics where one or two of the local Sunday schools and young people's societies gather together for their social pleasure. The pleasure resorted to is not always of the most desirable kind, therefore the president of our Sacramento Valley B. Y. P. U. Convention conceived the idea of holding a general outing for the young people of Sacramento Valley. To carry out the idea a committee was appointed composed of the following: Rev. G. W. Reed of Stockton, chairman; Mrs. M. F. Gaither of Woodland, Rev. W. M. Dixon of Sacramento, Rev. J. L. Allen of Marysville, Mrs. L. S. Diggs of Woodland, Mr. L. Williams of Marysville and Prof. C. H. Toney of Vallejo, he being one of the pastors of the Sacramento Valley district. The committee, after getting together, decided that it would be a good thing to make the outing a general one, not simply to confine its pleasures to the young people of the Sacramento valley district, but to invite all the young people as well as the nia to participate at this great soilder people of Norther.

MODING & THOMPSON, San Fernando Bldg., Los Angeles, P. might be the result of this great meeting the committee outlined the following as the plans for the Chautauqua for the social, industrial and religious benefit of the young people of our community and the outlying districts. To carry out this plan is the reason why we have gone to the expense and have invited the persons cited above. The several district conventions which compose the General Baptist Association have been invited to hold their respective conventions at McKinley Park during the Chautauqua, and there will be a day or days given to each of the district conventions for the purpose of holding their convention. Another great feature of the Chautauqua will be a mammoth choir consisting of 150 voices, under the directorship of several of the best singers obtainable in Northern California. Time, Place and Rates. The time of the beginning of the Chautauqua will be the 23d of June, and will hold eight days, closing on the first day of July. The place will be McKinley Park, southern section of Sacramento, the same being reached by two car lines running at intervals of five minutes from the uptown section of the city. Rates have been secured. from all roads entering into Sacramento of one and one-third fare for the round trip. Accommodations Sleeping accommodations will be right on the grounds. There will be tents provided with two cots. The prices for lodging will not be over 25 cents, and probably less, especially for parties who desire to stay longer than one night. The rates will be fixed according to the time the parties are to hold the tent. Refreshments of all kinds will be on the grounds. A great mammoth platform is built for the purpose of the meeting. This platform is surrounded by beautiful trees, completely covering the platform, thereby shutting out the sun, causing the place to be cool throughout the day. Motion pictures by our Bro. Rev. Dixon will be one of the main features each evening of the Chautauqua. For further information concerning the Chautauqua you may address Rev. G. W.

The club was organized with the following officers: John McLemore, president; P.W. Ridgeway, vice president; J. J. Josephs, recording secretary; Ballinger Kemp, corresponding secretary; William Foster, treasurer; J E. Duncan, critic; D. W. Rose, sergeant-at-arms, and Ralph Bilbrew, chairman of publication committee. The colors voted upon are purple and white. The motto: "Higher Even Through Difficulties."

The hostess of the occasion served a pleasant repast and the young men went home rejoicing over this accomplishment.
