M. E. Church entertainers ever given in Los Angeles. She tells us now that she is preparing to give her first one since the production of "The Temple of Fame." Sometimes in early spring of 1919. This great entertainment will be given at some large place up town, and will be greater and better than any of her previous ones. Mrs. Craw is an enthusiastic Missionary worker and president of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society of the First A. M. E. church. Dr Craw is supported in his pastorate also by a splendid coterie of faithful church officers and scripter members who delight to do their Christian duty at all times. This working together they have accomplished the almost seeming impossible. Dr Craw led the Puget Sound delegation to the Centennial session of the general conference at Philadelphia so May 1916, and will be an aspirant for delegate from the California Conference to the general Conference of Saint Louis Mo May 1917. He is prayerfully soliciting the solicitation of the brethren and if you think and worthy deeds, stand for anything at all, we are assured that Dr Craw will be selected as one of The California Conference delegates to that forth coming great session. Visitors and strangers will always find a cordial welcome at the First A. M. E. church. THE ADVENT OF A LIVE BUSINESS ON CENTRAL AVE. The people are indeed inclined to appreciate to the utmost any business man or concern which shows real life and will give to such business their support. So to Dr Fred J. Marney, Optometrist and Jeweler who only a few months ago, opened one of the nearest and highest class businesses of its kind in the entire city at 1292 Central Avenue. It immediately became the magnet which drew the people of that section to the place of business. With a long and varied experience as both an Optometrist and Jeweler, he has demonstrated beyond preadventure that his highest ambition is to give the people the very best service and the very best goods. His work as attested by scores who have had his glasses is the very best that can be secured and satisfaction with his work is sure and certain on the line of jewelry this store carries the best and every article which goes forth from his place goes with "Marney's" guarantee. Therefore during the holidays, or at any other time, for jewelry, by all means see "Marney's" selections before going elsewhere and you will surely save money as well as to gain satisfaction. Marney is of a pleasing disposition and it is a pleasure with him to please his customers, and at all times is pleased to give his advice along the line of suitable suggestions in his line of effort. The Eagle commends his business and his appreciation of the support which he has and is receiving. He is a strong supporter of this enterprise and has been a signal benefit to the material growth of business in this section, therefore we bespeak for him a continuation of your patronage and support.

Washington, DC, Smith Grove The notorious city of 600 miles north of New York has been and remains by Congress both a landmark and a museum. Boekel and Washington, DC, Dr. Shenley, St. Paul Niles Mall, St. Joseph's College, and many other institutions honor writers and thinkers. We have been too busy trying to get a hold on the situation of things and pull ourselves up to the high ideals of thought and enlightenment trying to busy our minds with discussions about "miniatuite slave grammies" who were mistresses to white slave drivers. Now that "prince-sapi" comes to us and discovers a colony of "white black people" right in our midst many of whom are college-bred and live in luxury" and now we didn't know it belonged to us, we must read its articles with some degree of care, and having done so, pass out, opinion upon it, and in identically upon him, whom he may be It is one bad the "processor" that not dislike his identity by name and address, since he says he has decided to devise the rest of his life to uphold his trust. He of course could begin in his better way then to make himself known. The "uplifters" who is unknown, who conceals his identity, "uses the better part of his opportunity. It must first appear that he has those qualities of head and heart that make for leadership; that he is imbued with that love for the race (that is to say for all of it), the "white black" part and the "black black" part, that is so essential and so vital to uphold work. We must be certain that he comes to us out of love for his own, and with a life spent in kindly and helpful direction, and doubly sure that he does not come to us out of chagam at his failure to "piss for white" or out of a "dread of discovery" if he attempts to pass for white. These things we must first determine, and since he conceals the identity of himself by name and past residence and reputation, we are limited so far in our knowledge of him by what he says about himself in his article. Let us review it in some detail and see what it disclosures. In the first place we find an article written in the style and after the manner of a bright little grammar school girl. It lacks in collision, is disjointed and disconnected, tails in choice of words to express ideas. The writer shows the greatest unfamiliarity with the topics he tries to discuss, and wholly lacks clarity about his own relations either with whites or blacks, of problems, he would solve, he contradicts himself in his main premises; in the theory that intermarriage results in "disaster", and that there is a tendency in Negro women to breed back to black, for he uses his ancestry and descendants as the basis of his main statements, but confirms neither his "disaster" theory nor the "breeding back to black" by anything that has shown either in his ancestry or children, for he does not contend that he or eith er of his children is a "disaster" or that either of them was "bred back to black." The article begins with the threadbare story of a matattoo love girl and a shaded-tie relation with a white shoe liner. Of course this white brunette was of prominent family they all were. But why hit the veil of the post and bare new for this and institute time the shame of this matattoo girl who is granddame to the "professor." With what pret to kin, or his beautiful children. Our so what necessity of promoting his fortune or oil, uphilting" the Negro race. He next proceeds to tell of the death of his father, but does not explain to us why, after he finished Life-ever god-trial Dustine (which he was rapidly) a college bishop permitted the murderer or his father to be. We are then upon that we can commence in Kelowna, but shall quite at once write white people but as uncomfortable as we would be with a crowd of black people. To whom does this a good effort? Certainly not to lack in perfectly comfortable, timeless, with white people. Except when a person is being persuaded that they may have a support of others, the white people of this country are not so far. I know important when with a crowd of black people. White people attend Negro Camp Meetings, Churches, Fair-Lectures, Cates, Dance, Ball Games, party contests, in which they like the Negro crowd. The aim of the unequivocal part comes in when a light-composed Negro strabiles the fence from one side to the other, and then back again, when he tries to delineate himself into beholding the passing of white. The prose-sor spots not tell us, however, he was in that or admitted to other businesses, professional or social standing as a "white man" other in Kansas or anywhere else. He only was at best, in school boy fashion that he once lived in a white neighborhood and was "treated kindly." Want a revelation? Wondering? There are more than one unimposed Negro native in Angeles, who are very tall hands, white sometimes hands and trees didn't have to rest the shins, the shins didn't have to rest them so past in the rough hardness either. processes at next points, that he has been in the office of a white relative a sort of 'bad hand man' in this city, and was treated 'kindly'. That is to say the 'mute' didn't kick him out. What this kind treatment consisted of, we are not told, except misfortain as we may assume it from the statement "I have always kept away from their houses". This is not the last time that I have heard in Los Angeles of a mutant boasting relationship to prominent white people because of the technical rape on Negro women who were slaves in the South and wholly without protection of power of resistance. We hope that the light of present-day civilization will soon displace the darkness of mind that gives breeding to this way of advertising white blood illegitimately gotten there. There is now to our people here in the fact the professor's daughter was once asked to a party that is an occurrence to common in the North to notice. Neither do we agree with the remark that because of the late war in Europe the Negro man of the South has for the first time had to provide his own bread-basket. Nothing is farther from the truth. Negroes in the South in the ratio of 80 per cent live in the country. They farm grow cotton, work in turpentine fields, names, kumber camps and on the public roads and public works. Three million two hundred Negroes are engaged in cotton-raising alone. They have always tamed the selves. The "store keeper, with惩恶价钱 has been the Negroes' babe for the past fifty years. Every small proportion are cooks in white families with the right to carry away food. Of late this number has become alarmsmally smaller and white watters, cooks and domestics, have supplanted Negroes in thousands of the richer families. In fact the complaint against the Negro has been and is now, that "he eats up all he makes." The "Professor" shows a woofful lack of knowledge of the South; it is pitiable to read his feeble attempt as a sociologist-writer. It is not always given Kansas country school teachers to be profound students of sociological and economic affairs. The "professor" next takes a thing at Los Angeles. He says it is worse here than in the South; we would have expected anyone else to have stated in what particulars. He glides over the looked for statement of the facts as easily as a duck glides over the water. He is satisfied to say he saw a professional man "wolf down a sandwich and glide out the back door." I am far too polite to doubt our "professor's" word, and were this not true I should candidly say that I don't believe it. At any rate, are we to assume that the "professor" means this professional man in seeking a moon-day meal in the South would have been at once a special guest, and had the turt seal at the head table in the leading cafe. I should like to know just where these "Negro quarters, with bad san- itation and insufficient street work are, in this city. In fact the Negroes here are exceptionally well posited by comparison with other cities. This is all schoolboy "want" designation to tickle the ears of a low grade of white people, but an insult to the home-loving Negroes, 90 per cent of whom are struggling very hard in deal with street and keeper assessment bonds and a reflection on the commendable attempt of our city to distribute with equality the pity funds devoted to street and sewer improvement. Ordinarily, we expect "educated professors" with good brainy—to know what they are talking about when writing for reading publications, and to stay within speaking distance of the factual truth. As much can be said of a "white black colony" with college graduates living apart as such and in luxury The professor's has joined it Hurray! Rather he should say, "Eureka! I have found it." We did not know it was here The Negroes here have been too busy home building, renting families, maintaining churches, and striving for general upright to insidious in the "Bobla Make believe" history of a white-black colony. The "professor" says in fifty years, whites and blacks will be living side by side but mind you no social intercourse or intermingling. What profound statement, what philosophic vision? Just as it the Negroes and whites are not living side by side today, all parts of the country, and in the face of the facts that many have intermarried, and one third on the whole have white blood in their veins, among whom are the "professor" and his family. He says the evil of black pe-cession began in the South and must be cured there. With this we do not agree at all, just in our words. 3452 - Gal. - Eagle Sacrery arose in the South, it was not intimidated there; it was remedied on battle hills, both North and South; it was misket shot in Northern girls that endured slavery. The "Jim-Cim" car—lynching distance-emment, injustice in court and in private and public dealing are the great shame and evils of the South; the South will not remedy them any more than it remedied Slavery. The country must remedy them, the whole country—the whose people. These must come and there will Some awakened public conscience, consent with the spirit of democracy now railing around the world which will take away forever these evils of the South; these cancer-growing on the heart on our civilization. Not until every American in every hamlet and township in the North decides that the un-American violence and bourbancy practiced on and against the Negroes of the South must cease will it be put down. Perhaps the protestor pleased the Southern race haters who protest every time Northern sentiment throws the light of truth or investigation on their conduct. Certainly he does not by this sentiment please this great Negro race he has come to uplift. nor does he offer a solution for these evils by this temporizing. There is but one solution! Abolish the evils—make an end to wrong. Give justice a chance to breathe at a "fair play"—ground enough upon which to stand. Two matters now remain, which call for some discussion in detail. We take the space to do it here and the time to do it now—because we hope we will have no more of this schoolboy not from the "professor." No more slams at the intellect of Black Negroes—nor more attempted apology on his part, because he doesn't want to be a Negro but is afraid to try to "pass for white," for "tread of discovery," no more childish attempts to dispose of so great a question as racial intermarriage, by a few weeks, thinly, disconnected phrases which attempt to dispose of so tremendous a subject. The writer asserts that the former taught school, that "My pupils were mostly colored children. Some were real Africans who were born in Africa. I found that these latter had the minds of little children and never could learn much. The American-born children of very black parentage had a peculiar characteristic. They went along very well for awhile; then they suddenly seemed to bump into a brick wall. There seemed to be a definite limit to the amount they could learn." In answer to the foregoing, it is regretted that the "professor" should have said near the beginning of his article "I have a good brain and a good education" Ordinarily this self assertion would conclude the matter, the "professor" has said his brain is "good" and that his education too is "good". If, having so informed as he had brought his article to a close we would at least have been left in doubt. As it is, he goes further and shows by what he says that his brain is more or less "cracked" and his "education" has been sadly neglected. No doubt our "professor" had a little "schooling," but to say that he is "educated" is to malign him African children could never learn much, and this from the pen of "an educated man!" Mr. Edward B. Grit points out in substance the following facts regarding the Negro in literature. Africa is the mother of civilization. Our Professor must certainly have know of St. Augustine, one of the greatest and ablest scholars of the Roman Catholic Church. Both his parents were African blacks—he died at Hippo, in Arica, A. D. 430, giving in twenty-two volumes a remarkable monument to his piety and learning, entitled "St. Augustine's City of God." Virgilius, an early African black scholar, was of Thapsus, and to him he called another that of Athanasius, St Cyprinus, one of the early writers of the Catholic Church, was an African Christian, clan or orator and writer. These men were representatives of the high intellectual states of the blacks who lived in their day and of those who were still to be found in many parts of Africa in the present day. We invite you to prophesy or to read "Problems in Tropical Dependencies," Isaiah Christianity and the Negro Race, "The Cushite," "Timibueto the Mysterious," "The Negro," "The Rhits of Empire," and we are sure that if he will do so critically he will do that the African Negro advantage for advantage, does not suffer by comparison with any race in the higher reaches of thought, or for anything that men like doing, or can be in the domain of intellect. The political African poet Terence, put it in this way: "I am a man and I consider it using foreword to me that elates it." Saint Joseph's Brother, was a distinguished Vicar, writer, and writer to many such volumes on husbandry in the Latin language. These were so well represented by the Romans that the Roman Senate ordered them to be translated into Greek by Cachis Dioerges of Utica, and these volumes were found in the Libraries of Vienna. The Cartilage was taken by the Romans. Of so early Vicar scolars and writers that no named Aesop or who's name is known to the black man), celebrated as the author of the "Fable," Lindsay taught a school of mathematics in Vienna A. B. C. Travis, an old world over as the local school and arate of poets; Lacanius, an ancient writer and able defender of Christianity! Origen, the important whose work, the "Philocalia" or Origen, is still extant; Rebecca the "Holy Black" and "Latin John," who were both unmistakably Vicarans, are residents of Italy and Spain respectively. Coming to more modern times, Mr. Armstrong makes a Tribute for the Negro withhold at Manchester, England. Ness, as said follows. An accord to the intellectual capacity of the Negro it may be observed that Africa was once the tutor of science and literature, and it was from those that they were disminated among the Greeks and Romans. Solar Plato, Pythagorus, and others of the master spirits in search of knowledge Africa had once her churches. Her colleges and repositories of learning, and of science. Once she was the emporium of commerce, and the seat of an empire which contended with Rome for the sovereignty of the world and she has been termed the cradle of the Ancient Church, and she was the asylum to the ancient Saviour. Say not then that Africa is without her heraldry of science and of tame." Jupiter titanium in a slave, in Queen Village, L. L. N. Y., was the first most to claim and hold public attention in this country. He shares this honor equally with Phillis Wheatley, an African slave girl, and both were unmarried Angres. Francis Barber, on unadulterated black of England, was Samuel Johnson's literary aide and confidante, Samuel Johnson is made a bequest of 750 pounds to him upon his death and said another "All the rest reside and remainder of my estate and effects I give and beheade to the said Francis Barber, his executors and administrators Witness my hand and seal this 96 days of December, 1784—Samuel Johnson." The most that can be said is that so far as the Negroes of Africa having decelerated into the condition in which they were found in the middle centuries when they were brought as slave captives to this country, is that the seed of civilization, Christianity, with all its deniance influences, moved from its cradle in Africa to Europe, and as a result, the former glory and learning of the Negroes in Africa fell into the hands of an educated man would attempt to maintain that African Negroes are incapable of learning Russia Vilton, President of the Trickleage Institute and now on a mission to France by special request of the President of the United States, is a pure African black, and traces his ancestry to an African King or Tribal Chief. But read with what confidence and would be authority our "professor" goes on to say that "The American-born children are very black parent-age got alone well for a white, but seemingly burned into a brick wall. There secured to be a definite limit to the amount they could learn." Picture this statement; turn the light of the facts upon it. What does our professor intend to do with the genius of Paul Lawrence-Dunbar? What explanation will be make of the intellect of C. M. C. B. Mason? What must he say of W. T. Vernon and of Bishop I. B. Parks, of Evans, Tyree and of Bishop Bowen? What explanation would the professor make of the intellect and ability of the great baptist divine, Dr. C. T. Walker or Augusta, Florida? or of Alexander or Crummell? or of Dr. Scarborough? Perhaps we shall ask too much of him it we name others. Certain Nannie C. Burroughs, Mrs. Fannie Coppin, Ida B. Wells, and (Continued On Page4) What the Chur What the Churches are Doing --- SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH 740 Maple Avenue Our Sunday School was largely attended. The lesson—"Joseph Forgiving his Brethren"—was helpfully discussed. Emphasis was laid on the fact that in Joseph's act of forgiving his brethren there was no recall to ills he suffered at their hands, but the insistence that they regard the past as the over-ruling providence of God working good, to them all as a family. Peace between litigants is often hampered by recall of the past. At 11 o'Clock the church was filled with earnest worshippers. The ban at Pasadena was the occasion of many of the members of Friendship Church with their pastor, the Rev. Dr. Tillman, visiting us. The gentleman preached a very acceptable sermon on the prayer of the dying thief. At the close a part of his Choir led by Captain Reynolds, sang delightfully. The baptismal service was solemnly observed. The Young People had their usual service at 6:30 o'Clock, when the Rev. Pettigrew delivered a stirring address urging personal work among the young people coming to our city. The pastor paid a visit to Monrovia in the afternoon comforting the sick at Mrs. Wright's home for Inlids. The service at night was very largely attended and the word of God was again presented. All in attendance enjoyed the day's services. Superintendent S. P. Johnson who has been on the sick list for several weeks is greatly improved and will be in his place on Sunday morning.

Sunday night, December 29th. You know the story of the three men from the East, and how they traveled from afar to offer their gifts at the Manger-Cradle in Bethlehem. But have you ever heard the story of the Other Wise Man who also saw the Star in the rising and set out to follow it and yet did not arrive with his brethren in the presence of the young child, Jesus?

D. Pastor. Two magnificent audiences were thrilled by the inspiring services held at this church on last Sunday. At the morning hour pastor Greggs occupied his pulpit and preached a very edifying and practical sermon from the subject, "Walking in the Highway." In the evening Sister Wilson a great Evangelist of the A. M. E. Zion Church delivered a burning message on the subject, "Christian Zeal." Nine accessions to membership were recorded—one soul was brought to Christ. Soul-stirring music was rendered by the Choir. These are truly great days at the couple' Independent Church, spiritual inspiration is in abundance at every service. In spite of the lost time caused by the Phi ban, preparations are being made to have a merry Christmas for both old and young. Watch for the announcements. The services on last Sunday were highly spiritual and much appreciated by those in attendance. It's very noticeable, however, that the members are not returning to the services very rapidly. We are sure that conditions will improve gradually and all will eventually find their way back to Zion. We desire through the columns of our very courteous and efficient papers, to extend to our members and many friends the compliments of the season. We are now upon the eve of the world's greatest Christmas Tide. Nothing since the gift of the Savior some two thousand years ago to the world as a Christmas gift has ever transpired to make the nations as happy as they will be during this Christmas. If the contention of the Allies is as honest as His. If their Democracy is as genuine, then it will bless all the people. The Master's first great Christmas to the world was true Democracy, both morally and spiritually, and was a great example to the world, because The Kentucky club will hold its next meeting on December 26th at the residence of Miss Jessup. 71012 East 18th St. Take San Pedro Car.

Our services on the next Lord's Day will be as usual. All are welcome to this home-like church. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH F. C. Cothran, Pastor. The church enjoyed two most excellent occasions of worship last Lord's Day, when two uplifting and elifying sermons were the greetings from the pastor. At 11 a. m. he spoke upon the subject, "The Tests of Loyalty to Christ," taking his test from James 2:18, "Show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works." The pastor demonstrated that every profession worth while rests its claim upon most rigid and thorough tests, from which fact, he declared, it was quite conclusive that the Christian profession above all others must be able to make indisputable proof, both in doctrine and life, for its claim. We were highly gratified not only with the message, but with the presence of quite a few visitors—a feature in which the church feels a special pride and one over which it is always highly elated. Our Christmas greetings for the children is Christmas Eve, December 24th, 7:00 p.m. Come and enjoy yourselves with these little talk.

Pastor Brooks was at his best both morning and evening and each heart was made to rejoice in the God of their salvation. The morning theme was truly a doctrinal sermon and clearly set forth the foundation and ordinances of the old Baptist Church. He gave examples and proofs for each statement made. In the evening he spoke on the power of Jesus and his wonderful miracles while on earth.

"Count that day lost whose low de scending sun, finds from thy hands no worthy action done." Why is it that every ninth stranger out of every ninth says I do not like Los Angeles. I don't seem to understand the people. Simply, because some of the strangers do not exchange the common courtesies like the other. I think it depends wholly on the stranger, if they are amiable and meet the peo-half way, they will more than likely understand the people. There are some strangers though that come to Los Angeles, who wish to impress upon the people, their grandeur, their extraiveness and their greatness but the only thing they succeed in doing is to impress their stupidity, and the narrowness of their brains. The great stranger is always corral, to the company they are in; they emit none of the small sweet courtesies their smile is sunny and their voice quiet natural, their air is not a veneer, you never feel their effort to be little you or to squelch you. So to you strangers, who think that this pose is the most impressive, why forget it? in the first place other people are not caring half so much as you think they are.

"Independence has been the key- note of this pastor's success. Al. though young in the ministry he has succeeded In winning the respect; es- teem and admiration of the entire comniunity of Watts and Los Angeles by his thrift Rey. A. P-Ramsey came to Los Angeles in the year 1911. He found the vicinity of Los Angeles already Nooded with Divines. so to the neg- lected hungry field of Long Beach he wended his way and there within four and one-half years, he had clear- ed the debris off, planted his crop and harvested the golden grains of joy- ful hearts and newly-awakened souls. Rev. Ramsey's experiences at this field gave hima wider vision. 4 stronger and more capable minister he was after this his first charge and test.

The morning service hour finds the older people diligently wending their way, bible under arm and with bright expectant counte- nance, to the House of God. After service there is the friendly greeting, and hearty hand-shake, the merry laugh of the young people and groups of trustees, deacons and Missionary sisters around the pastor, expressing enthusiastically their hopes and plans for their new and beautiful Zion building .

Books on decorum do not teach the best manners, for the best; manners spring from the heart. Not long ago I asked a couple if they had attended a certain social wrair. The husband answered «with bitterness, “Why no, most of that professional bunch-was there, and I being a janitor they would not ex- tend that courtesy to us."* Now, we all know that'a few of our professional men (not all) feel that when they are on the road-to success they must need appear above the laity to maintain their dignity, which ; SHE: CALIFORNIA EAGLE [is #8 so footish for in these days it H. the rank and the tile.” But then Mhis sociai couple was not satisfied that this bunch should regard them with good will and general friendli- hess they wish to be included in the hear friendshin of people with whoa patter all they had no congenialities, iow if they had them, they would find those peopie inevitably drawn — to ikem, regardless er the husband being a janitor or pofi®r or what not.

You can't beat the Soaring Eagle, 70 columns of original home made matter tells the tale; All set and made up in our own shop, with our own Line operator, truly is in line with real progress. We are also thankful even for that Turkey which did not come to make glad the hearts of the Eagle staff; The staff will however as is our annual custom remember the children and on Xmas day will have our usual Christmas tree at this office all children are invited to come, there will be something for all. The article in "Sunday's Times" has been widely read and much discussed during the past week, and many have guessed as to the author of the same; we opine however that all the guesses are way off; but whoever wrote the article, is handled without gloves by our special correspondent W. O. Tyler in this issue of the Soaring Eagle, his stinging reply will doubtless be as eagerly read and discussed as the origin. from epoch to epope, and from century of c nstian world has approached this day of da nce, and thanksgiving. We are now as it w should of a new year; we are about to close twelve pages, which for the last twelve month From a poch to epopen, and from century of century the Christian world has approached this day of days with reverence, and thanksgiving. We are now as it were, on the threshold of a new year; we are about to close a book of twelve pages, which for the last twelve months we have been compiling, as ever telling the story of progress along the various lines of effort. However the pages of this twelve months history are crimsoned with the blood of many battles: brave deeds of valor also adorn our pages as well as stories of vicarious suffering, and sacrifices too numerous to mention. But even though some of our hearts are breaking because those who were nearest, and dearest to us have been left upon the battlefields of France, we deeply feel, and highly appreciate the gifts that have come to us within the past few months—the first of which was the Hunt from the battlefield; and then signing of the armistice and last of all the great vessels that daily plough the Atlantic, and weekly dump their cargo of human souls in that greatest city of all the world, New York. Yes the spirit of the Yuletide is tinged with a peculiar sort of sadness at this time, but back of this sadness we console ourselves by realizing that the greatest battle of the ages has been fought, and even now the nations of the Earth are seated in a peace conference, laying a foundation for the greatest season of peace the World has ever known. CHRISTMAS NUMBER OF THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE About Ourselves. The annual Xmas number of the SOARING EAGLE comes to this issue, not as pretentious as we had hoped; for the reason that up to less than a month ago it was very uncertain according to the ruling of the war industries commission as to whether we would be allowed to do so, however on receiving notice that it's ruling in putting a ban on holiday editions had been annulled; we pulled ourselves together and on short notice, we present to you in holiday dress our Xmas issue for the year 1918. We have striven in this issue as in those which have preceded it, to present, the various lines of effort which appeal to the great masses of the people; strong for racial uplift and material progress; no vagaries, or unsound propositions are promulgated in these columns, turning the Searchlight on the untoward and pernicious activities in life, we feel that we are at least entitled to due consideration for our effort, and we can testify that the same is ours. A pleasing feature of this years effort, is the fact that every line of type is produced in our very own shop and by our own operator, on our own Linotype machine, truly a mark of real progress, as a result of our efforts; we are enjoying an unprecedented demand for our production, the Soaring Eagle, is daily growing by leaps and bounds, our subscription list is becoming worth while; it demonstrates that after all the people can be depended upon, for real and genuine support, when a newspaper qualifies, by giving them really a run for their money. Appreciating the support mentioned to the utmost, we shall be pleased to continue along this line, as the servant of the people, standing right up for them at all times, preaching the same doctrine and giving all the people a chance at all times to be heard. Therefore the staff of the Soaring Eagle, with your cause as our cause and your battles our battle; presents to you our 1918 Holiday edition, with the heartiest greetings of the season.

From the very first the people of the community showed by their patronage that they knew good goods when they were getting them. From more until night this young woman was kept on the jump to supply her patrons. The business grew, larger quarters were in demand and in order that she might give her patrons even better service than ever she moved to more spacious rooms. The Far West Dairy Lunch and Tea Rooms are located at 1197 Central Avenue. Here Miss Wiley, the proprietress has maintained her splendid reputation as first-class manager and excellent judge and satisfier of appetites and with it her old patrons and a host of new ones. The new location is pious and well arranged, so that family dinners or party dinners, reserve their indivisibility. These lovely rooms Miss Wiley orers at any time to the use of any young lady wishing to entertain in them. Furnished rooms may be had here for rent. The Xmas trukley will be as delicious as was the Thanksgiving one. Special orders ought now to be in. Those who have eaten one meal at Miss Wiley's will eat another. The who-haven't eaten one have not need much for those that board there to gather have changed the maximum of eating to live to have to eat.

CAPABILITY Ottimes the occasion demands a visit to a large two story edifice at the corner of Hemlock and 9th Sts., always it is a pleasure and oftimes there is a desire to go even when no business demands, just for a glimpse into the sunny, smiling face that is surely to emerge from behind the porters that enclose the work-room of this place of business. A peek into the work-room and there three young women are busily at work. Towseled heads are white in foam. The electric drier buzzes constantly. Several women sit in the waiting line, the room is full of chatter and gay laughter. The fingers of the manipulators are very busy but their faces are free from worry. They have that surety and confidence written on them from knowing their business. There is no nervous haste, only quickness in action. Those in magic work-room; the inspiration comes from a very small person, as far as physique is concerned, yet her personality precludes the entire atmosphere. "Have you a minute for me Miss Ross?" I always yell on approaching. "Oh yes dear, come in," is the cheery reply and never is she too busy to exchange a word of good day. "Tis the secret of this young woman's success—her everlasting cheerfulness. She attracts her customers with her personality and holds them with good service; for she has a reputation as a hair grower and scalp specialist; hers is the Camo system and preparations. Her establishment is complete in fixtures. Miss Ross is interested in her cases and no pains are spared to produce the best effect with each individual one. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE LODGE NOTICE.

Indeed we have always made it our business to keep our eye on the progress of community faju. For the past three years the earnest activities of a certain couple has merited our keen interest and encouragement although by way of pen we have not spread it broadly; be it now known, that we have in our community a race, man and woman that are actually doing things "talk is cheap". At the corner of 14th, and Hooper Ave. is located the most unique retail grocery establishment that Los Angeles can boast of, be the principals black, white, tan Mrs. Jones is first class in every response. In their salesroom the customers every wish is sought to be satisfied. The house wife comes at noon with market basket and in a little while she is seen wending her way homeward, face beaming with satisfaction and basket filled with fresh meats groceries and vegetables, with the morning dew still on the bakery goods and staples, or she calls Main 2779 and the delivery boy in his auto in no time at all at her door. There the hot and thirsty are cooled and their thirst quenched, the smoker stops in for a smoke and exchange of pleasantries. For each comer Mr. or Mrs. Jones has a smile and word of cheer, so that the community in response are spending their money with the man who will return them service and build an enterprise to the race.

There are 12 in the cast and it is scheduled to be the best of the season. Full program will be presented later. Mr. Walter McDonald, the mail carrier, has been sick for nearly 3 weeks with the flu. Mrs. Sarah Baxter of Phoenix, Arizona, was in San Diego for four days this week to look after her son, W. L. Burks, who by accident broke his shoulder bone. He is now getting along nicely. We learn that Mr. Baker at Camp Kearny is sick at the hospital. Mr. Gathen Perry, a San Diego boy, was on the George Washington, the President's ship which sailed for France December 14th. Artie Banks and Dan Badgett, U.S. volunteers, are now in the Philippine Islands. Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Braxton of Long Beach, were in San Diego last Friday to attend the funeral of Mrs. Myrtle Brown. It is rumored that Prof. Biggers, professor of the Biggers' Business College, will be in San Diego the first of the year, to engage in a course of business instruction, and also to offer six weeks training on important business subjects. We believe that it will meet with the hearty co-operation of the general public in San Diego. The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Cross on Martin avenue, passed away on last Friday night. He was buried from Johnson and Saum Undertaking Parlors. Rev. P. E. Robinson officiating. Mrs. Littles on 10th St., and Mr. Adams were both death victims of the influenza last week. Mrs. Rosa Dricken of East San Diego, has been very sick with influenza, but is much better now. It is rumored that the ban will be on for wearing flu masks another week. Those that attended services Sunday were allowed to remove their masks while singing and praying. Mr. Arthur E. Jones will spend the holidays in Los Angeles with his cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Walter English, and will then leave for Oakland, where expects to make his future he Regina. He regina in leaving his many friends but the best of friends must part so he extends to a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years. Mr. A. Thompson of Texas, and Miss W. Woods of Omaha, Neb., were united together the morning of December 12th. They never knew each other only corresponding by mail and the sending of their pictures to each other was the means of this grand uniting. The intention of the bride was to visit San Diego and court with Mr. Thompson for a few months, but the time was so far away that they decided to start trouble sooner. The many friends wish them both prosperity and let the death angel be their only separation. What God put together let no man put asunder. Mr. John C. Clark, chief, and Mr. E. D. Hubbard, potter, on Mr. E. P. Ripley's private car, President of the Santa Fe Railroad, spent a day in our city they couldn't stay longer as the "fut" kept them on the move. Mrs. B. Johnston, chairman of the Red Cross at Watts, Cal, was a visitor of the newly weds, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson. Miss Hortense Gordon, sister of Mrs. Chas, Ankrum and Mrs. Arthur Johnson of Oakland, spent four months with her father, Mr. M. W. Gordon at San Diego, and has returned home for the holidays. Dr. A. L. Brown kindly thanks his many friends for the donation of the beautiful flowers to his deceased wife, Mrs. Myrtle Brown. The names will be published in the next issue of the Eagle. The public is invited to attend an organization meeting at the Masonic Hall on Market, between 6th and 7th streets, Jan. 1, 1919, for the purpose of organizing a branch of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People.

Dones of Los Angeles, a political leader; Rev. G. W. Dooby, of this city, and Mrs. E. R. Hudson, organized of the Negro, Women's Council, will be the prominent speakers of the evening. WILLIE O. TOLLER'S STINGING REPLY. (Continued From Page 3) Mr. Caldwell, secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, would call for very difficult explanations indeed. To make such a remark about Negro We point these things out because that person is mistaken who assumes that he has been called to the mission of explaining the intellectual failure or power of Negroes on the ground of color. This is equally true whether he attempts it on the theory that pure blacks cannot learn on whether it is attempted to show that mulatto, or Negroes of mixed blood only can learn. Perhaps it did not occur to the writer when he makes the remark that, "Intermarriage can bring gobbling but disaster,"—that he thus condemns himself needlessly and unnecessarily. Would the gobber of Booker Y. Washington know from less and his great shilings and such ```markdown ``` * SAN DIEGO * nent talents diminished, if his slaveholding father had married his African mother and thus made him legitimate? The profound scholarship of Dr. DuBois is one of the distinct assets of his age. He has white blood in his views, and the useful and eminent life he had lived is not a "disaster." Nearly one-third of the Negroes in the United States have white blood in their veins. And Negroes of mixed bloods along with pure blacks, have occupied nearly every position in this country to which white people have attained. They have written 1200 books, though for lack of sufficient funds to properly advertise them, they are not so well known as some by far inferior books, written by white authors. Two have sat in the United States Senate; 20 in Congress; many in State Legislatures; they have served as assistant attorney's general, and filled practically all of the local and county offices from Constable to High Sheriff, and from City Recorder to Mayor. In the racial make-up of the American white people, may be found the blood of nearly all the peoples in the world. A stream of immigrants have poured into this country from all over the world for the past 140 years, and there have been intermarriages between all of the known races of the globe, right here in America. Would our "educated professor" say that these intermarriages have resulted in "disaster?" Certainly the American white man of today, the result of this form of intermarrying for many decades, will not be referred as to a "disaster." For many years before the late war the population of France was at a stand-still, and the French government offered a bonus on the birth of every healthy child. This was due to a lack of racial inter-mixture. What do we mean when we say "Britisher," or "Englishman?" Do we not mean the descendant of all the peoples that have in times past inhabited the British Isles? The Jute, Angle, the Saxon, the Norman and various other races of men? Were there intermarriages? Has not the English aristocracy in the past 30 years been largely recuperated by intermarriage with American heiresses? Was not this a mixture of the races? To announce oneself of "good brain and good education" and their proceed to write the analysis and solution of this tremendous problem of the black and white races is a task of tremendous import, and our "professor" has "rushed in where angels dare to tread." The idea of a man saying: "there seems to be some instinct which bars the way to love between races!" What opportunity has he had to know? Certainly he (the professor) could not have trusted to his observations in the relations between what we commonly call "white and black" people in America for bases to any such conclusion—let us see. "Some instinct which bars the way of love between the races." This is big talk indeed, he thus claims to be ethnologist, scientist, scholar! The Negro race in America has never had a fair chance. The Negro started behind, a slave, a chattel! Brought here under circumstances which denied him every avenue of social, business, and political advantage, it could only be expected that Negroes on American soil would fall under the iron bands of an ostracism—social, business and political in scope. It is only natural that the whites in America from the earliest times taught their children to avoid being like Negroes, and this not because of any "instinct," at all, but because, social and economic conditions ostracized the Negroes. The professor proves this himself; he says: "one of my children is a little girl as white as any white child you ever saw. She was the object of some attention from white boys at school. But she wanted nothing to do with them. 'I don't want them to think I would even marry a white man,' she told her mother." Now let us see! What in that narration as to instinct? Nothing! The most the "educated" professor (I use his own terms) has said, is that his girl: "did not want to marry a white man." But why? Not in nature, not in the natural order and nature of things, because he says, "she was the object of some attention from white boys at school." This entirely disposes of his theory that: "there is some instinct which bars the way of love between the races." He confesses in his article that the way of love was open! That his daughter, was the object of the attentions of white boys at school! It was not nature; it was not instinct, that barred the way of love, it was the inexorable law of social ostracism, existent and actively present, in his daughter's mind, which operated to cause her to "fear" the attentions of the white boys who "honored" her. with "their attentions." Suppose—the daughter of our professor and those "white boys" had both been placed on a far off island of the Ocean, wholly ignorant of the social laws of ostracism prevalent in America, (U. S.). would our professor of "good brain" and "good education," still maintain, that the attention of these white boys, would not (could not?) have ripened into a true and holy love? If he should tell us that, you and I would think still less of him, we do not we know that white children play together; study together, eat together, are raised together, and certainly no supposed "instincts" interpose to prevent the most cordial, lovely, tender and warm feelings between them. It is and was, only when youth grew into manhood, or when girlhood grew in- to womanhood, that the point of denarication came. What brought it about, how did it come? Social laws, the laws of man, the man-made laws of this our own land interviewed, not the laws of God, or of nature, the man-made laws of social ostracism, which intervened and said: "this is a Negro; his race started at the bottom in the U. S.; forget him now, though he was formerly your loved companion: in the future, business, and social gates will be closed upon him, leave him, desert your childhood friend and companion, the laws of custom, the rules of prejudice, the voice of our present day society and sentiment demand that you desert him; I. too, demand that you desert him!" This argument is always final with the white boy or girl. But under what theory the "professor" assumes that a "bar" or a difference between the race exists in nature because of the difference of "black and white in colog," he does not attempt to explain, nor can I see. "instinct"—let us see! We meet a snake in our path, our instinct is to recoil, to retreat, to avoid the attack. This we do by "instinct" because no mental process is needed to warn us that the snake is our enemy. "Instinct" A near white Negro or a black Negro lives for 18 years the friend, confidante, inseparable companion of a white child—and our professor says that because the Negro girl refuses the marriage relation at maturity, "instinct," prevents it. It is not "instinct" at all, but the inevitable laws of social and economic ostracism prevalent in the U. S. Again, in the article, the "professor" argues that racial intermarriage spells "disaster," and say, "from sheer bravado a black sometimes marries an outcast white woman; but I think he rarely feels love for her, either before or after marriage." The "professor" does not know that in New York City alone about five thousand Negro men are married to white women and live happily together. That some of these Negro men have risen from the ranks to positions of honor and trust in the city, Authors, business men, musicians, artists, politicians. The most of these people are blessed with children, and are devoted to each other by the most sacred nuptial ties. This is true of a proportionately large number in Chicago, Milwaukee, W. St. Paul, Minnesota, and many Iowa cities. The most beautiful sweetness of the nuptial relations between Fredrick Douglas and his white wife? I suppose in or- der to get a readable story, in The Times' Sunday Magazine, our "professor" is (and will be willing) to call the second Mrs. Fredrick Douglass, "an outcast white woman." The very learned Dr. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce University, graduate of Yale college, and author of a Greek lexicon, used as a text book in Harvard and Yale Colleges, is married to a white woman Will our professor assert to the readers of the Tintes Sunday Magazine, that: "Dr. Scarborough married her from bravado, and that she was an outcast white woman?" Dr. White, a learned Negro divine, and a man highly esteemed in Ohio, by all who knew him, married a white woman of good reputation; they are blessed with children, and both stood high in the social and religious circles in which they moved both among the whites and blacks. Every reader of this article, white or black, knows that in the nature of things as God made men and women whether white or black, there is no natural barrier—no instinct which separates the races. That the separation is based upon man-made laws of social and economic ostracism—peculiar to the unfortunate start Negroes got in the U. S. That in England, Negroes, Coleidge Taylor, and the Mayor of a great London town, whose name slips me now, have risen to the highest social and business status. Why argue this point further! We hope the professor will forget his article in "The Times, that he will roll up his sleeves, put his shoulder to the wheel, forget it about: "I am nearly white, etc," give what of talents God has blessed him withal, and what years remain yet unto him to do the best he can for humanity—white or black—white-black or black-black and feel in so doing that "in as much as ye did it unto one of the least of these my children, you did it unto me." USEFUL SOCIAL UNIT She is a useful unit in society. Ever has it been her work to get behind that person whom providence has destined for the front and push. Mrs. Clara E. Halbert has by this means, been responsible for awakening, of the ambition that slumbers in the breast of many who might not have awakened to the responsibilities within them. Many of the events of the season that society has pleased in, whose origin could be traced to Mrs. Hulbert's efforts. Greatest among these however, the presentation of the cantatas, composed by Samuel Coleridge Taylor, "The Wedding Feast of Hiawatha," and "The Death of Minnehaha," in one grand musical at the Trinity Auditorium on the 29th day of August, is deserving of special mention, as a step in the dramatic world of the Los Angeles Negro. Few people realize the greatness of the task involved in the undertaking of an effort of this kind, those most severe in criticism of the least detail imagine, because they have never attempted anything or even thought of anything so magnanimous that at the magic word "Open Sesame" the doors of huge Trinity and the musical drama could appear in all its gloriousness minus ones imperfection, however small.

Wilkins. ...CLEARBROOK DAIRY PRODUCTS CERTIFIED CANNED FRUITS VEGETABLES MEAT PRODUCTS and OLEOMARGERINE. Children, all colors, aged and infants honor and love him. As the Pied Piper of Hamlin chased the rats and lured the children away by his silvery tones of his flute, so the twofold magic touch of this modern pianist-genii has chased poverty and friendlessness away and lured Love, Friendship and a bright prospectus to him. Day by day his classes grow, year by year the interest in his progress and work becomes more and more universal. Things Actually Accomplished Professor William T. Wilkins has actually done this: He has educated the Negro of Los Angeles to the love and appreciation of classical music. The walls of prejudice have actually fallen at his touch and now twenty white students, virtually sit at his knee that he might teach them. He has succeeded in interesting some of the foremost musicians in the city in the progress of the Negro in music so that at a gathering of musicians at the home of Miss E. A. Lamb, a white woman resident, a few months ago his most advanced students were given a chance to perform and receive hearty applause and plaudits for their wonderful technique and artistic playing. In the Pacific Coast Musician Frank H. Colby, editor, glowing tribute was paid Professor Wilkins for the musical education that our people were receiving through his teachings. Prof. Carl Bronson, musician and chair director of the First M. E. church, in a letter to Prof. Wilkins after his pupil recital in May, offers his most hearty congratulations to the Professor for his wonderful work, "for giving to his people the exact science of music in a manner as simple as effective." Prof. Wilkins is still studying. He is a private pupil in the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music and Arts—being accepted as direct pupil of Jaroslaw de Zielinski, director of that institution. Piles of letters of congratulation are in his possession for his wonderful ability as teacher and pianist. The California Eagle has been watching this young man from the beginning of his success. We are impressed most favorably with his character, through all his success he is approachable. On every hand his friendiness has won for him hosts of friends. He is interested in his work. His music comes before temporal comfort and enjoyment and he will succeed in accomplishing his desire: to raise the standard of his naturally gifted people to that raised by the most gifted in ages past. A word about the Wilkins School of Music. Situated at 1325 Central Ave., the two storied building of thirteen rooms is the studio of the music school. Every hour in the day and long into the night lithe fingers are running the keyboards of some one of the six pianos, oftimes as many as four are being used at the same time and sometimes the whole force. The professor's love is for his "baby," he has two, most people call them Baby Grund. One hundred students are taught at this studio regularly weekly Each year-Los Angeles is keenly interested in the progress above the year before and are given a chance to witness it at the May students recital. Professor Wilkins is the principal teacher of the school in piano with the Misses Lucille Banton, Fannie Wilson and Gadys Wilkins as assistants. The voice department has as its instructor Mr. Maiola and in the violin department Miss Nasson (white) has charge. There is harmony in the team of workers-alto-gether it is a place of harmony and music. ```markdown ``` The social structure of any community depends upon its industrial activity. Its industrial limitations will form the boundaries for its social development. Until there are high standards of economic and industrial efficiency there cannot be a high standard of social organization. In all states of society that have reached this efficiency we find the social, religious and industrial developments co-existing and co-operating to the full extent of the resources which result in prosperity for the community. It is in consequence of the foregoing statements that we would engage your attention for a time as will allow us to present a man who is entrenched in his desire to be of service to you and the community. This man of whom we speak is one that knows just the requirements for building up a strong, successful social settlement. He realizes that a small industrial effort will not inspire nor develop a big social fabric. This man will tell you how to grow. Mr. Sidney P. Dones is one of the leading exponents of the strenuous business life. He is easily the shining light among aggressive minds of the West. He is aggressive in his fight for the rights of his people; progressive in his efforts to have them become producers instead of consumers only. This idea has taken a strong hold of him. He will not rest until the Negroes of Los Angeles join the ranks that are now being formed for the attack upon the gigantic business possibilities of this city. Mr. Dones has made an enviable name for himself here in Los Angeles. He stands high in the estimation of his fellowcraft. Money is coming his way, but he is not satisfied because there is room for many more of our people in the commercial arena. With this interest in his race, and laboring for the establishment of a highly organized community, we find Mr. Dones extending his success beyond the realm of personal gain, personal agrandizement; his greatest aim is to have every ambitious, industrious, self-respecting Negro begin right now to lay the foundation for his own success and ultimately for the success of his race. Mr. Dones insists that no stronger foundation could be laid than that one represented by the purchase of real estate. Values are relative or absolute. Real estate value begins with the soil and ends with the soil—plus its development. Of course our object is not to enter upon a treatise concerning relative and absolute values, but rather, to outline briefs leading up to the apprehension of a man who knows all these things. Mr. Dones has apprised himself of the necessary knowledge incident to the conduct of a big real estate business. He is ready to instruct his patrons how to invest their earnings in order that they may get the best results. It is with him a matter of vital concern that our people should learn how to dispose of their possessions, how to expend their money to the best advantage. The executive ability of Mr. Dones, together with his wealth of useful information about real estate, insurance, investments, mortgages, and all matters pertaining to personal and private property of corporations or trusts, place him in a position to be of the greatest assistance to all of his patrons. It will be recalled with no small degree of pride that Mr. Dones, very tactfully, and over a storm of protests, secured control over some of the choicest real estate on and around Central avenue, also Twelfth street. He opened in that community a little business center which formed the nucleus of what today is a prosperous settlement of intelligent Golored citizens. These folks are doing business with each other in peace and harmony. They have unlimited respect for themselves and for each other, and as a result they are expanding extensively along commercial lines. Central avenue today is regarded as the one great industrial artery that courses through the most honestly populated section of our people in the state of California. This district supplies work for many members of the race. This little economic center, like an artery of the human body, furnishes life-blood for many homes which before its operation could not partake of the onward movement of the swelling tide of businesspeople and homes that were held in the power of a enrol system of competition. These folks were not prepared to battle with either the system or the competition. This initiative taken by Mr. Dones lends itself very well to the solution of a part of the industrial difficulties in this section. Mr. Dones did not mean to be misunderstood in his motives concerning the Central avenue project. His honesty of method, his intensity of purpose were declared in his purposeful and purposeful manner. example for his prospective tenant Straightway Mr. Dones bought the parcels of property situated at 1104 and 1106 East 12th street. He did not stop there; the residence at 1119 East Pico street was among his securities. The latest asset to his present holding is the seven-room dwelling at 1591 West 37th St., the place now occupied by Mr. Dones and his family. Mr. Dones was a candidate for the City Council at the election held in April, 1917. It was a very hot political fight. Our friend, Mr. Dones, received the hearty support of our people. Many white voters cast their balots for him and no few workers among the white voters voluntarily gave their services in support of his campaign. The efforts of our candidate were well rewarded, notwithstanding the fact that he did not get the nomination. He was de feated by a very small margin. Three precincts, composed entirely of white voters, came out strong for Mr. Dunes. This signal victory (in three wards composed of white voters) will serve as a stimulus for Mr. Dunes, who announces that he again will be a candidate for the City Council in 1919. In that place he can be of the greatest good to his people. It would be the inestimable fortune of our people could they have Mr. Dones to quicken and elevate of political and economic activities in Los Angeles. It is no wonder that Mr. Dones is forging anead with such great speed—that he is succeeding so splendidly. Mr. Dones has had, and enjoyed, a life-long acquaintance and association with men who know how to do things. That accounts for his facile and forceful business methods—his clear vision in outlining investments for his people. He has opened deals in real estate involving thousands of dollars; and closed business transactions that require the greatest legal skill and knowledge. He has done work for all races and classes of people, each bearing testimony to the fact that he has that faculty of pleasing people in business. All people are not prepared to do business. This is true, not only of the Negro alone, but of any race. Among those who cannot we find them selecting a man to safeguard their individual interests or those of their race. They entrust the legal end to the best lawyers among them; their religious doctrine and creed to the leadership and guidance of their most capable and intelligent clergy; but all matters involving the sale and purchase of property insurance, titles and guarantees are loked after by their able real estate dealers. We could do no better than this; we can follow the example of others by selecting Mr. Dones to represent us in much matters. He understands the arts and crafts of the trade and philosophy that defines and justifies the ways of businesses unto men. Since coming to California, Mr. Dones has made a fine impression with the people of this state. Shortly after his arrival from Marshall, Texas, the place of his birth, he acquired some nice real estate holdings in his own right. Mr. Dones was married to the senior daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Williams, one of the early families of California. Mr. Dones is a very distinguished musician. Her ability as a violinist is known throughout the length and breadth of the state. Mr. Dones was educated at Wiley University and later enrolled among the law students of the Southwestern University of Law. There was born to Mr. and Mrs. Dones a lovely little daughter, by name Sidney She. She is the pride and joy of her parents and proves to be the proverbial tie that binds. We predict a glorious future in this city for Mr. Dones. In his suite of offices comprising four rooms and with his courteous assistants he will build up a business center that bids fair to intensify, the social, religious and industrial activities of Los Angeles as no other medium could do. THE GROWING HAND Have you ever heard of one possessing a "growing hand?" Dunbar has immortalized the "growing hand" in his poetry. Years ago when we all lived on farms the social center of womankind revolved about that blessed woman with the "growing hand." Our natures have not changed, although our style and manners may be more after town dictation. Still do women revere that one among them with the "growing hand." Miss Rosa L. Sampson of 844 Central Ave., has long since been discovered by those in the community as one possessing the growing hand and wide spread her reputation has become, so that not only in the immediate community but from afar they come seeking after her to bestow on them the magistrate of her wonderful hand. So from morn until night, day in and day out she is kept busy. Her system is her own, her applications are of her own making. She has met with wonderful success in life because she was blessed with a "growing hand." Miss Sampson is the proprietor of neat quarters at 844 Central Ave. Her stock of goods for the hair, hair goods and beautifying of the hair is complete. Hers is a scientific treatment of the scalp for dandruff and disease. The Sampson face cream for the beautifying of the skin, to remove all pimples and blemishes in a wonder. It will do all that she recommends it to do—this, from a person who knows. At her parlor brown skin powders, combs and hair goods in abundance and variety may be had. Pay her parlor a visit and with a welcome smile Miss Sampson will meet you. DR. W. H. BROWNING Dr. W. H.

Winifred, European Water November 20, 1918 Splash! Splash! (?) twenty-five degrees starboard—Bing! Splash! Shoo-ee! (?) twenty-five degrees past then a sudden dive in the mighty sea. The decks are awash, the misty sky is full of low hazy clouds, everyone aboard more or less sick. Gun ever making a rigid search of the waters in all directions. Can you imagine such, in an angry sea this time or year in the war zone. Say nothing of the terrible things conceivable that might happen in the appearance of a submarine. Were you put to the test could you wear a broad smile? Showing the cool and sturdy temperament that is expected of you. Fear is out of the question. Your duties must be performed at any cost. The shadow of life and death seem to hover round about you. The mental and physical test is something severe and rigid. The experience is well worth while. It displays the grit and bravery that is necessary in the making of real men. Alas! Land is sighted along the horizon, what a welcomed relief, the mind, the body and the spirit enjoys such a relax; even the nerves abate themselves freely. Steadily pressing onward you finally reach the coast of Bonnie Scotland. The high moos-covered hills protruding against the blue gray sky have the calmness that seems to tease your view-with a most soothing appetite. Here and there petrious peaks extending aloft, half visible in the clouds, present an amazing quandry upon these scenic wonders of nature. Quaint little villages in the distance of stone castles and huts aged upon the cineritious foof hills possess the quiescence and beauty-described by the posts of old. Soon arriving at a large seaport I was glad of the opportunity of gaming some knowledge of the foreign metropolis. The dow-n town district well compares with that of our own large cities, yet the novelty of the double-decked trams and their female metromen and conductors were rather interesting. The atmosphere was particularly typical of war times. Uniformed men and women of every description were in evidence, especially the hips were popular, and quite unusual to an American. The numerous red-cheeked Scotch issies seeme d towelcome us and expressed unusual happiness in their jocular smiles as they passed to and fro. They seemed to stare with admirable scrutiny upon the sons of Uncle Sam. As a rule members of the over-sea forces soon accustom themselves to the various Y. M. C. A. huts that are established in most every locality. Upon arriving at a strange place he makes for the hut for he knows he is at home and one really feels at home among his own people. He makes this his headquarters because everything possible is provided for his convenience. While visiting this particular port in addition to the usual Y. M. C. A. facilities of welcome I was greatly pleased to find a Red Gross Club for United States Forces as it was called. This unique rendez-vous for pur boys was far above the average. It is under the auspices of an aristocratic branch of Scotch philanthropists whose modern and generous inns were quite obvious in its design. All visitors are requested to register their name, home address, rank and station. This was quite interesting to read over the pages to learn the whereabouts of old comrades. The kind and courteous ladies who were in charge expressed great pleasure in serving to us, coffee and takes to all the boys free of charge at all times and displayed much anxiety as to the happiness and comfort of everybody. Home newspapers, magazines and all kinds of literature were open to everybody. A lovely evening was spent with the Red Gross. Although our ship was many miles out at sea when the Armistice was signed we received the news a few hours later by the wireless. Two days later we arrived at a large English seaport and were able to get the details from the newspapers and witnessed the rejoicing. Our first night in this port we had the heartiest welcome on our best witness. The stream of the city were thronged to capacity. Merrow-makers were blowing horns, parading in patriotic costumes and waving flags and singing. Our ship was the only American ship in port and when they saw the blue jackets there was intense cheering and warm enthusiasm. Thousands stopped our boys and shook hands, greeting us in a most careful manner, especially the young child who in many cases worried them in kipsip. This will remain the high point of admiration and concern.
