ESTABLISHED 1870 LEADING RACE JOURNA THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 THE CURE FOR MOR VIOLENCE By J. Whitcomb Brougher, D. D. Pastor of Temple Baptist Church Scripture: Ex. 20: 1-21. Acts 19: 23-40. Text: 1 John 3:4. James 2: 8-13. Acts 19:40. Introduction. The burning question of the hour in our country, is whether law or anarchy shall be supreme. Lawlessness is in the air. Every day as we pick up the newspaper we read of strikes, lynchings, riots, murders, and lawlessness in all parts of the world. This spirit of unrest and disregard for law is not confined to one class. It extends from the paper to the millionaire, and from the ignorant, to the educated. Laboring people organize into unions and seek to accomplish their demands by physical forces. On the other hand, capital organizes and calls upon the military arm of the Government to protect its property rights from the destructive tactics of labor. The I. W. announces their purpose to ignore all legal rights, overthrow the government and institute anarchy for law. In Chicago, Omaha, and in Arkansas, the mob forms and, animated by race prejudice and hatred, demands the life of Negroes who in their vicious lawlessness have assaulted white women. This same spirit or lawlessness is to be found in every nation on the earth. It was rampant in Paris on May Day. It breaks out in Germany in one revolution after another. Husia is convulsed from one end of the country to the other by Bolshevism. The world certainly needs to be called to account for the lawless spirit which now manifests itself in every nation on the earth. If any organization on earth can help to guide to a solution of this problem, then it ought to be the Church of Jesus Christ. What are the things that the church may do in order to help to a solution of this problem? I. It should Proclaim the Majesty of God’s Law. 1. We need to get back to the foundation upon which law rests. We need to proclaim the great funda, mental truth; that all the law of God are not for the enslavement of mankind but for his highest possible liberation. If we study the Ten Commandments, or the laws proclaimed in the Sermon on The Mount, we will find that they are the expression of God's character. There are two great facts that are characteristic of the laws proclaimed by God in the Old Testament and re-emphasized in the New. They are the expression of God's character. They are what they are because God is what he is. Just as our words reveal our innerm thoughts — just as the laws of a people reveal their ideals — so the laws of God give to us a revelation of his character. Illustration. There is a copy of the Constitution of the United States so printed that the shading of the letters presents to the reader the face of George Washington. When we look into the royal law of life as enunciated in the Old Testament or the New, we can behold the purity, the holiness, the love, the goodness, the sincerity, the perfection, of God himself. The Ten Commandments are not true because they are in the Bible. They are in the Bible because they are eternally true in the very nature and being of God himself. It is in this fact that we find the inability of thesies, or anarchism to destroy and abolish the Ten Commandments or any of the eternal laws of God as revealed to us in his word. God's laws are a revelation of his will and his character and they are as eternally true as God is himself. 3. In the second place, these laws are in harmony with man's nature. Whenever man puts his life in harming with the laws of God, he is morally guilty that the gods betray (1000) responds to those ideals and has its highest possible development. These great laws of God have been established as the medium along which human nature may develop and accomplish its purposes in this world. Illustration I was preaching to the mechanics and other railroad men in the O. R. N. shops at Portland, Oregon, one noon day. I saw a very rusty old engine-standing off to one side. I stopped in the middle of my talk and said, "Men, what is the trouble with that old engine?" A man answered back. "It jumped the track and tried to swim the Willamette River. It went to the bottom and was stuck in the mud for several weeks. It was pulled out and hauled in to the shops the other day." I took the cue, and said to those men. "That engine was constructed with the distinct understanding that one of the important features of its success depended entirely upon its keeping on two iron rails which formed a track upon which it was to run. That track was in harmony with its nature. When it jumped that track and tried to swim a river, it was in an element that was out of harmony with its nature and it went down to failure and ruin." This is absolutely true of human nature. God has established certain great laws which are in perfect harmony with the development and success of all his powers and very being. When a man jumps these laws, and tries to live along lines that are absolutely out of harmony with his nature, he will and only failure and ultimate ruin. 3. These laws, therefore, are universal and unchangeable, and should be known and obeyed. If the laws of God are in harmony with his nature—if on the other hand they are in harmony with the highest attainment of human nature—then they are eternal and unchangeable. There could be nothing more important, therefore, that a man should do than to know these laws and seek to obey them. I am well aware of the fast that when we co meto study civil law, we are almost buried in confusion by volume after volume of laws that differ in the various states and cities of the country. It is beyond a man's ordinary capacity to commit to meet when we come to study civil law, we are almost buried in confusion by volume after volume of laws that differ in the various states and cities of ory and keep in mind the ordinary traffic laws of our City, let alone the laws involving the rights of property, and life, and liberty. But more fundamental than all human laws, are these eternal principles of God preclaimed in the Old and New Testaments. They involve our temporal and eternal happiness. Herein lies one of the greatest-rasons why a man should study dilligently his Bibel. Illustration. A sea captain takes a light to look at his chart in the night. He must steer his course carefully and persistently by the chart which has been made upon scientific principles and upon experience. In the midst of a storm at sea he must be extraordinarily careful. If his ship gets out of the course, another one coming in his direction may drift also. They may come together with a crash and go down to the bottom laden with precious human lives. Can we imagine a captain fool enough, who did not like the chart, taking his light and putting it out, and saying, "We will run our ship according to our own likes and our own judgment? No, he can blow all the lights out on the boat but the chart will remain the same and the storm will rage just the same. The only thing he has done is to destroy his ability to see the chart. The Bible is the lamp to our path and the light to our feet—it is the light to interpret the laws of God. Throw it away and the truth remains the same. Sin and temptation, snararchy and lawlessness, are rampant if the man has no light to see the chart of life. Let us remember, that these three great facts concerning the laws of God are eternally true: First, they reveal the nature of God Second, they are in harmony with human nature Third, they are eternally true and should be known and observed San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1919 II. The Church of Christ Should Seek to Have Human Laws in Harmony With Divine Laws, Metting Out Equal Justice to All. law and in the courts of the land. III. The Church of Christ Should Seek to Inculcate the Spirit of Absolute Obedience to the Laws of PASTOR DRIVER 1. In the first place, the church of Christ must stand for the enactment of such laws as will give impartial justice to all. This is fundamental if we are going to re-establish the confidence of the people in our legalistic bodies and in our courts. A mob violence, Dr. Mullins says. "Showws both a lack of confidence and also it is an expression of overconfidence in American institutions." From a lack of confidence men say we are being wronged. The laws regulating these cases are not equitable; they are not just. The laboring man says the laws continually favor capital. They do not give us an equal opportunity for the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. He believes that legislatures are corrupted with money; that they are influenced to pass laws that will make it easy for the capitalist and the corporation to make millions of dollars out of trade and manufacturing opportunities. It is true that these things have happened in our political life in the days gone by. Our politicians have been corrupted by the monetary influences used by the salon, the gamble, and greedy corporations. If we are to restore the confidence of labor, then our legisla- tures and courts must be set absolutely free from corrupt influences, and he lee t enact and enforce laws that are absolutely just and equitable to the laboring classes. On the other hand, organized capital is crying out against the injustice of laws being passed which are virtually destructive of their business. Whenever labor organizations have the upper hand, they have taken advantage of it. They have selfishly turned the tables upon capital, and are as unjust in their demands as capital has been in the past. It is for the Church of Christ to stand as a great bulwark of justice. It is for us to proclaim the gospel of equal rights, and no favored classes. 2. In the next place, the Church should seek to re-establish confidence in our courts to enforce the laws justly and impartially. A spirit of disrespect for our courts has been created by people who are seeking vengeance and desire to take the law into their own hands. This is the usual spirit of the mob that lynches the Negro who has violated the sanctity of womanhood. The argument of such a mob, if they present any at all, is that a helnous crime has been committed. Our courts are too slow in acting; they cannot be trusted; we will take the law into our hands and right our own wrongs. Thus they scatter the seeds of doubt in the minds of all the people, and especially destroy the confidence of the youth in the power of our legal institutions to right our wrongs, and maintain justice in the land. But one of the very first things that ought to be done in this country, is for Congress to appoint a Committee that shall seek to establish a better method for the enactment of fewer and more just laws, and discover if possible a quicker means by which the courts can act in cases calling for quick and decisive action. Our criminal procedure especially seems to be too complicated for speedy action. This ought to be changed. This inability on the part of courts to act promptly in these emergency-cases, tends to make for lawlessness among the people; tends to give confidence to the criminal; and tends to encourage other criminals to continue their career. In no country in the world does the person accused or crime, have thrown around him by law so many extraordinary protections against justice as in this country. He has also more opportunities to escape than exists in any other jurisprudence in the world. Where a crime is proved, beyond all question of doubt, delay in the action of the court should not be permitted by technicalities and sub-terruces which make possible the escape of the criminal from exert justice. It is for the Church of Christ to stand for just and humane laws, and for the enforcement of them with absolute impartiality. For rich and poor, great and small, ignorant and learned, justice of the equity before the law and in the courts of the land. III. The Church of Christ Should Seek to Inculcate the Spirit of Absolute Obsedience to the Laws of Both God and Man. It may be true that many human laws are unjust. They are not worthy to be obeyed. But if we are not going to throw the whole nation into anarchy, then let us not only obey an unjust law, but let us make a terrific fight to get the unjust law changed. The great mass of the American people will respond sooner or later to the call of justice. There are laws on the Statute Books of our State and our City that are beyond all doubt, made in the interests of certain classes, and do not give to all an equal opportunity for the exercise of their rights. The best way to deal with that situation is not a determination on the part of those injured to break the law, but rather to make a persistent and determined fight until the law is changed and their rights are recognized. I know there are exceptions to the rule. In England when the Government taxed Baptists to support the State Church, the Baptists pursued the policy of refusing to pay the taxes, and were arrested and thrown into jail rather than pay their fines. In this way they called the attention of the whole world to the injustice of such a law, and it was not long before the law was modified. Nevertheless, as a general rule, if we are not going to advocate the principle of lawlessness, we must call upon the people of our nation to respect the laws of the land, and where they are unjust, seek to have new and better ones enacted. 2. In the next place, the spirit of obedience is absolutely essential to the destruction of the spirit of lawlessness. The breaking of any individual law may not be of such great concern, but the spirit of lawlessness which is so rampant in all the world today, must be overcome or else law wall have no power to regulate society in a just and equitable manner. This spirit is to be found among all classes. a. The spirit of lawlessness is seen in the fact that some people excuse themselves for breaking certain commandments because they are punctilloids in keeping certain others. A man says, "I do not sweat. I do not steal. Or, I do not commit murder. I try to pay my honest debts." And then he excuses himself for breaking the law of the Lord's Day, and ignoring the demands of the Seventh Commandment, or the Eighth. Not many people think it a very great crime to gossip and bear false witness against their neighbor. They excuse themselves for doing that because they do not commit murder. b. Again, some people keep the Commandments part of the time, but do not pretend to keep them all the time.

We note that here too as at Denver that "white Red Caps" are the ones who rustle the grips, hand bags and suitcases of the passengers. We were not long in getting our bearings and soon hied ourselves to the sanctum of our brother of the craft the Hon. Nelson C Crews who presides over the destinies of the "Kansas City Sun" located at 18th and Woodland Avenue in the heart of the black belt of that city. Marvelous indeed has been the progress of this highly creditable journal. Since Mr. Crews has been at its helm, everything has an air of activity and progress and ever at the service of the people. Mr. Crews himself is indeed a worthy representative of the race and rings true at all times for the things which tend for the advancement of all the 1.

Beginning Monady night the sixth Special sermon was preached, each night Rev. C. C. Coat preaching to the Y. P. W. W. Rev. Morce preached Tuesday night; Rev. H. D. Renbow, Wednesday night; Rev. Dr. Holt, Thursday night; Rev. Wm. A. Washington, Friday night; Sunday morning Dr. C. P. Jones preached one of his old time sermons, we were helped by the same. Sunday afternoon Rev. Dr. Shaw of Wesley Chapel preached a soul-stirring sermon, after his sermon a most wonderful healing was performed when our sister Ross came forward stricken with Paralysis and who was able to walk and praise God after praying for her. We all rejoiced when the Lord touched her body.—Amen! Sunday evening was the crowning service: many beautiful songs were sung and some of the most inspiring papers that were ever listened to were read. Rev. Bro. Arline responded to that they were as good as he had ever heard. After the reading of the papers and the entire program of the Knowing how brief our visit was to be we did not tarry, we were soon on our way to Olathe, Kansas, to pay a surprise visit to our daughter, Mrs. A. B. Porter of that town which is 21 miles; from Kansas City the way the Crow files, arriving there after dark. We by chance met her accompanied by her husband on the street before reaching her house, on discovery of whom she was meeting, indeed a scene was enacted right on the streets of Olathe so happy was the meeting, the first for nine years. We spent the night at her home and, the next day visited the school over which her husband and herself preside. We found it to be indeed a modern edifice; the school was assembled and we entertained them for some time by telling the scholars all about California, they seemed to be immensely pleased and interested in our exposition on California. On the day we were the dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Harris, friends of our children and enjoyed to the utmost a real Kansas home dinner. We were presented to many of the prominent white alcees of Olathe and our lawman, Pete Sutherland. Y. P. W. W. and Women's Prayer Band was rendered, the presentations of tokens were given Pastor Driver as expressions of love and appreciation to them for his majors among them; each department of the church was represented. The Deacons represented the congregation as a whole and gave as their token of love and appreciation $6.82; the Sunday School, $20.00; The Y. P. W. W. $70.00; the Women's Prayer Band, $6.60. After the presentations, Rev. R. H. I. Clark came forward with a burning message, all of us were made glad. Pastor Driver offered a most forcive prayer which set on fire the whole congregation. We can truthfully say that Pastor Driver is a loving shepherd and tender father. His sermons are filled with goodly advice as well as Godly strength, and nothing we can do can pay him for his labors. We are praying for him; we mean to stand with him in the fight against sin and wrong, and hold up his arms for he is a Messenger of God. Pastor Driver will soon be leaving for the East to attend the Annual Convocation of the church. May God bless him. —Amen! Hear the pastor Sunday morning. (Signed) RWPORTER indeed our brief stay was a continual round of happiness. Tuesday evening we boarded the train and returned to Kansas City, and repaired to the home of the Hon. Nelson Crews whose guest we were while in the city. Mr. Crews possesses a beautiful home in a prominent section of greater Kansas City which is presided over by his estimable helpmeet, and we shall never forget nor cease to apprehate the many courtesies extend to us. Mrs. Crews is a sister of Mr. Thos. Bass of Los Angeles and by adoption a relatur of the writer. In his Bulk touring car Mr. Crews drove us over Greater Kansas City and we manvled at the vast growth and noticeable improvements of the last decade. And then, again it came to us that we had conjured up in our minds that there were some colored people in Los Angeles. But after this drive and a trip through 12th and 18th streets, we changed our minds, for since we have been born we have never seen so many colored people as we saw in Kansas City; why, we do not doubt for one moment that there has been 100 years in Kansas City. Yes, we are very pleased to have made the trip; studied conditions as they affect our people; studied the land and its productive qualities. throughout, the different valleys. Leaving September the 2th the writer on behalf of the Progressive Business League made an extensive tour of investigating the Imperial, Yuma, Yuma-Mesa, north and south Gila, Palo Verdi, Colorado, Blythe, Perris and Elsinore valleys. It was out of the kindness of Dr. Wilbur C. Gordon, and his willing, needy to make this very hazardous trip by automobile that we were permitted to see that wonderful country in the now productive state. Mrs. W. C. Gordon and Mr. Bertram Tucker were also along—all of whom made the party very enjoyable indeed. On leaving it was decided to start at 6:50 a.m. The morning was very brick but the air very invigorating. We rolled along nicely having reached Orange County at a time when the people were most busy with their crops. Farming in that part of the country has been going on a good many years without irrigation on a large scale, quite a large part of the land is farmed by dry methods. The county authorities are trying in every way to tunnel the mountains with a pipe line for the purpose of drainage Elsinoire Lake, that the water might be used to irrigate that land on a large scale, this is estimated to cost about $6,000,000. We hope that beautiful Elsinoire Valley will not be drained of its wonderful lake which lends so much to the attractiveness of the city, and to cool breeze is quite appreciable. Driving slowly we passed many beautiful little towns arriving at San Juan Capistrano where stands the Mission Founded in 1776 by Juniper Sena. It was about noon when we reached San Diego; realizing that our objective was the Imperial Valley we did not remain very long in the city, but continued on our way. We wish to add that the roads thus far are very good. On leaving San Diego you encounter roads not quite as good and eventually enter Devil's Canyon, a place to be dreaded by all tourists and which requires much nerve and skill to cross; nor a blade of grass can you see upon these mountains, simply a huge pile of builders, extending about 800 feet into the air. We learned that man lives were lost on those sharp narrow turns. Coming down from that height and passing out of the canyon, you enter upon a more won, derful stretch of boulevard which carries you into El Centro. The description at this time brings as to our first valley - Imperial. It has not been more than 10 years ago that that part of the country was "severely desert," today by the set of water or irrigation it is most productive; the white people from Yunnan are fast coming into the valley where cotton is the chief product. There are quite a few of our people who have gone to this valley and it is gratifying to know that they have gotten a hold on some of the best land to be had. Some have gone into business—their ranchers and their businesses are flourishing. We were more than pleased to find Dr. De Vaughn, the first oriented physician to enter that part of the valley and from all reports he is doing excellent. To grow up with a small community means much to the enterprising young man with a vision. A vision in life is everything, nothing big can be accomplished without that vision, which if planned well, efforts concentrated, specialization applied, and last but not least of all with diligent application the man with that vision must succeed.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH— 740 Maple Avenue. H. D. Prowd, Pastor. Special emphasis this year is ing laid on the work among the yo people. The Wesley Chapel Eyce The strangers and visitors received the most hearty welcome in our Sunday School last Sunday. The lesson was excellently taken up all taking the usual interest in it. The main features brought out were the readiness, and great faith of the men called. The Superintendent and the Teachers drove home the fact that the men called were all busy men. At the 11:30 clock service the house was filled, and all appeared glad to receive and welcome back the pastor. The large audience was quite an inspiration to deliver the message, and indeed the Lord was with us. The Text was Matthew 24.45—"Who then is that faithful and wise servant." All present could not but be impressed with the power and truth of God's word. The Junior Missionary Society gave a very successful entertainment at Mount Olive Church last week for the benefit of our New Church. The B. Y. P. U. had a delightful session. At night the pastor delivered a discourse on The Raising of Lazarus. A full account of the proceedings of The National Convention will appear in a separate report next week. Come out early on Sunday Morning and come praying for a blessing. ST. PAUL BAPTIST INSTITUTION- AL CHURCH 2st and Naomi Avenue Rev. R. N. Holt, D. D., Pastor. The services were well attended on Sunday, in the morning Rev. Thomas of Kansas preached and in the evening Rev. Hardiman of Riverside preached; both sermons were very good and enjoyed by all present. Pastor Holt delivered a masterly address together with report of National Baptist Convention in the afternoon, the same will be repeated in the Ministers' Alliance, Monday next at St. Paul. Rev. T. G. Holt the venerable sage who had charge of St. Paul Church while Dr. Holt was in attendance at the National Baptist Convention returned to Oklahoma last Saturday night, we hope for his early return. Watch the Eagle for announcement of the coming of one of the greatest rators of the age. Wm. H. Harrison, Attorney of Chicago. Come to St. Paul Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock and hear Rev. C. H. Anderson of the C. M. E. Church preach; his Choir will furnish the music; the officers of the two missionary societies will be installed at that service. We extend a cordial invitation to visitors. PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST— Cor 18th St. and Palma Avenue Last Sunday the services were well attended, as usual. In the morning the pastor, Rev. N. P. Greggs, spoke from Phillippians 3:12-13, which was very interesting and vividly illustrated. In the evening, the sermon was taken from Matthew 18:20. The collection for the day amounted to $100.00. The Orchestra sprang a delightful surprise on the congregation last Sunday by playing a Prelude to the services, which was indeed inspiring. This new feature was introduced voluntarily by them which goes to prove that the young people who compose the Orchestra are interested and constantly working for the betterment of the services. Beginning Wednesday, October 22nd and continuing to Sunday, October 26th, the A. M. E. Zion Conference will be held in the Auditorium of this church. Evening services will begin promptly at seven o'clock commencing the first Sunday in next month. It is hoped that all members and friends will govern themselves accordingly. Members on the sick list this week are: Mrs. D. C. Bird, and Mrs. Rosa Wooden continues ill. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Eighth and San Julian Sts. Roy A. P. Shaw, Pastor. Wesley started the new conference year last Sunday with an unusually good day. The pastor's sermons were very helpful and inspiring. Two persons united with the church.

The pastor delivered his 4th annual message at the morning hour, using as his text: "Where Art Thou?" Gen 2:9. The spirit was manifestly present and all present were greatly blessed. At the evening hour, the pastor spoke on "Borrowed Religion," taking as his text the cry of the foolish virgins: "Give us of your oil," Matt. 25:8. There was one accession to the membership at this service. Our Anniversary services of last week were continued this week and all have been greatly helped. This Sunday will be filled with good things. The pastor will bring the message at the morning hour. At 3 p. m. the Simpson-Lewis Memorial Fund band will have its regular monthly meeting. Rev S. M.

There were also visiting friends from the Macedonia Baptist of Watts and Friendship Baptist of Pasadena and from the New Hope Baptist of San Bernardino. Rev. H. B. Thomas, pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Garden City, Kansas was present. We had a great time, everybody went away pleased with the meeting. Rev. A.

FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH- 8th and Towne Avenue Rev. A. Milton Ward, Minister. The Rev A Milton Ward, the new pastor of 8th and Towne A. M. E. has occupied his pulpit and preached to large congregations during the past two Sundays. here were six accessions to the membership and the spiritual tide ran high. Rev. Ward came to Los Angeles from Denver, Colorado, where he served as pastor and Presiding Elder for twelve consecutive years, in the city. He has the distinction of being the only minister to serve five consecutive years as pastor of Shorter Chapel, the mother African M. E. Church in the Colorado Annual Conference, 1907-1912 inclusive. Following this he was Presiding Elder of the Rocky Mountains, presiding over Shorter and Campbell Chapel, Denver, respectfully for four years, 1912-1916. For two and a half years following this he served in the pastorate of Campbell Chapel. Denver, where he reduced the indebtedness from $5500.00 to $3500.00, put in a steam heating plant in the Church and paid for it, remodeled and improved the parsonage and paid for all of it. In February 1919 Bishop Parks called upon Rev. Ward to go back again to the pastorate of Shorter Chapel. He returned to the pastorate of Shorter, had the Church to furnish the parsonage (which he bought at a cost of $5200.00 during his first pastorate there), with little more than $300.00, in furnishings, paid off all indebtedness and part $700.00 in trust for a building fund of a new and greater Shorter Chapel. Rev. Ward made the greatest report for Shorter Chapel at the Annual Conference last month ever given. Rev. Ward will occupy his pulpit Rev.

Girls, here is the article we have been waiting for, an authentic history of the Croix de Guerre, by Dr. Ballard who maintains up-to-date offices at 1700 Central Avenue. Dr. Ballard is the winner of the Croix de Guerre and is quite a busy physician. We certainly thank him for his interest in our column. There are two books on display at the main Library this week which every girl should read; they both discuss the colored girl. If you are interested ask for "Woman's work in Municipalities" and "The Neglected Neighbors." The Croix de Guerre Three Metals are given by the French War Department:—1. The highest awarded for gallant and meritorious service being the Legion of Honor, which design was adopted November 1870. 2. The next highest is the Medaille Militaire, established by Prince Louis Napoleon, January 1852, which is of silver and is given for valor to sergeants, corporals and privates, the Commander in chief of the army. Marshall Joffre being the only officer allowed the honor of woiing. 3. The next in rank is the Croix de Guerre, which was established April 8, 1915, is of Florentine bronze. It has erroneously been stated that its weight corresponds to that of the human heart. Its actual weight is $2\frac{1}{2}$ ounces, while that of the human heart is from 8 to 12 ounces. This Cross is awarded to the highest officer down to the lowest private and also may be given to women doing service on the field of battle, e.g., nurses, ambulances drivers, etc. If the captain or officer in charge, considers the soldier's deed of extraordinary merit he sends a recommendation for citation to the colonel of the Regiment, quoting the act in detail. If the colonel approves it, he in turn forwards it to the General of the Brigade. If this General approves a cross carrying a bronze star on the ribbon, is awarded from his headquarters. If he sees tilt he may send the request to the next ranking General—the General of the Division—who, if approved gives a cross which carries a silver star on the ribbon, and so on the request may travel through the General of the army corps up to the Field Marshall headquarters. A citation from the general of the army corps carries a gold star; the highest award carries a bronze palm on the ribbon of the cross. Whon a soldier has been awarded five bronze palms for five separate acts of bravery he is a silver palm. From the amount of "red tape" and the number of hauls the matter must pass through one can see the difficulty the soldier has in obtaining his cross even after his deed has been brought to notice, to say nothing of the many acts of heroism that because of isolation and the absence of lime-light passes unseen and unheard. I myself took up personally with the Colonel of my regiment, the recommendation for Croix de Guerre for four men of my detachment who were with me when I obtained mine. I succeeded in getting only one through for my Sergeant Deny Brown of Chicago, the others receiving only honorable mention for bravery under fire. The men had assisted me, under a heavy barge fire in treating and rescuing officers and men fallen on the field on No Man's Land, my Sergeant fell at my side so badly mangled from shrapnel that he was sent back, to the States probably a cripple for life. Fragments from this shell struck me but not doing sufficient harm to stop me from continuing my work. I felt that the men who worked so faithfully with me, Byron Parks, Robert Gray, and Ruben Alms should have received the same reward that I had. The above is an example of the difficulties even in the French army where prejudice does not enter at all. It evidently was not the policy of the U. S. Army to confer metals on her colored heroes. There were over 100 metals awarded to soldiers of the 8th Illinois of 3,000 men and almost as many to the 15th New York of 3,000 men, both brigaded with the French Armies. With this as a basis it is impossible to believe that there was not one hero to ward honors in the whole 92nd Division of over 40,000 men, fighting under Americans; only a few of this division, who fought with the French, received metals from French headquarters, but none from the U. S. These probably were never brought to the attention of General Perming and he certainly did not investigate to find out. LLEUT CLAUDRUS BALLARD, BY JOHN A. GRAY "There is strong national characteristic in America. A characteristic born of her broad Democracy, the gathering together or many nations, a cosmopolitan note which your composers must catch and write into your music. How it will be done, or when or where, no one knows. I am convinced, however, that the plan of taking Indian themes, and Negro themes, is scarcely likely to produce the great, distinctive American music, unless indeed, these themes are developed by Indian composers and Negro composers. The highest quality in all art is sincerity." The above quotation is taken from an interview with the great Russian composer, Rachmgrannoff, which was published in a current issue of the "Etude." Attention is called to the latter portion of this extract, in which he says that the Indians and Negroes, by developing their own themes are likely to produce the "great, distinctive American music." In other words, he means that, no one can be sincerely with these themes as the creators themselves. These themes must be as much a part of the composer as his manner of speaking is. The composer must be able to think in their idioms, to feel their pulses, and to know their poignancy. No one can do this so well as the Indian and Negro himself, and even they, must not confine themselves to taking themes bodily from their collections and developing them, but rather become so imbued with the spirit of them that the flavor is imparted to their works. These words, coming as they do from one of the foremost living musicians, should be an incentive to all serious students of the greatest of all arts—MUSIC. There is, in our city, a class of so-called musicians and music-lovers, who never attend a recital or concert of any kind. These same persons will condemn every musefort made by our home musicians and even pronounce an affair "rotten" before it is given. Some of these people ventured out to witness the most protontious offering ever attempted by the musicians of our race in the city. "Queen Esther" the cantata, as presented by Madame Hulbert. The affair was such an artistic success, for amateur talent, that these same persons were forced to say "Why, I did not expect it to be as good as this." The moral is—Never condemn a thing unheard. Tragique and Comique There it lies, slg. feet, but no, scarcely two feet under! The hope of a generation, a grandmother's darling, a grandfather's joy. A heavy tombstone, half as large as the little grave marks its final resting place. There she stood and stared as she had numberless times before. Her dry eyes shone with a wild lustre; her hand clutched to her side in a suddenness of a convulsion passing through her body and causing her to stand intensely rigid. A great hope, a superhuman faith was seeing the stone rolled away in a sudden resurrection—A sudden relapse! A faraway look stole into her eyes. The gloom of despair replaced the lustre of hope. Involuntarily, unconsciously, purposelessly her head was tossed from one side to the other, her bosom heaved with great sighs, her breath came hard—and the tears came not. Night came on, only by a dim outline was the heavy stone distinguisher. With heavy tread, feet that seemed to want to stay put, once they were down, almost failed under their burden of weary body and heavy heart that they carried up the stairway. At the top landing there was a pause that grew into a watchful, listening walk. An intense moment, during which every nerve of ear and eye were strained and the heart stood still to hear the little joyful footsteps fall in their rush of greeting and to see the little form draw near. Only the tick of the old time piece on the wall which sadly said: "Forever—nerevr, never, forever!" Every bit of the breath of her body did she seem to draw in in that one moment. A queer声 from an auteur from the heart itself broke the death-like silence, forward, she fell and then between the lamentations of "Oh my Darling, Oh my sweet—my Kitty!" The great fountain of tears broke their bounds and overflew. So it was that on last Monday Little Kitty the only itying possession of the lost Blue-Eyed Office Cat breathed her last breath, sighed her last sigh, meowed her last mow and kicked her last kick in parting with AFUE McDOWELL, ATTORNEY AND BOUNSELLOR-AT-LAW NOTARY Has just returned from Military Service in the U.

"Socrates, the Little Philosopher" philosophied and caused quite a commotion by placing said philosophy in the Girls Column—not really under a none de plume but who would guess that L. E. P. were the initials of the Lino Operator; especially most unreceivable when attached to such philosophy. Anyway the Editress of the Column feels greatly indebted to him for his valuable assistance in helping to promote the idea of a horseback riding class for girls. She says that the philosopher must not know that to the girl who would arid go, an awe-filled passer-by only lends excitement and fun to the sport, and giggles contentedly to herself. Next time Mr. Philosopher—"a hint to the wise is sufficient." The Printer's Devil is walking to the tune of "School days" these days. A new determination lights his eye, a new soberness sets in the corner of his mouth. He seems bent on the task of reshaping his head and in such a manner as to admit of no fool's cap setting comfortably or becomingly thereon. LEAGUE NOTES Every Friday night is General Get Acquainted Night at the Progressive Business League, for members and their friends. Don't fail to come out and assist us in promoting more business. The Board of Governors held a very successful meeting Tuesday evening. It is claimed that Negroes spend $600000,000 a year for food. How much of this amount are you spending with the colored groceryman. Courtesy is one of the chief assets in business. It will do you no harm to tip your hat, and say "Call again please." The ministers are learning to appreciate the good work the League is doing, and we note their presence at the headquarters more frequently. Fridaf night, October 31st, will be a general members meeting. Every member is expected to be present and bring your membership card. Good program. There is $^{9}$ but one way to achieve success—keep everlastingly at it. The darker the outlook, the more persevering you should be until you have placed your business on a paying basis. Los Angeles is fast becoming the Chicago of the West, so far as its Negro population is concerned. Come on, folks let's get together and establish more business institutions and keep pace with the steadily increasing population of the race in this city. The League is pleased to see so many young women in the ladies' parlor each week. The only regret is that more of them do not take advantage of this privilege. c. Some people keep the Commandments in one locality and do not pretend to keep them everywhere. Many a man practices the Ten Commandments at home who does not practice them at all in business or in politics. 3. In the next place, the Church must proclaim that lawlessness means death. "The wages of sin is death." Obey a law and the power of that law becomes your servant. Difobey a law and you become the slave of the power of that law. Obey the law of gravitation and it becomes your servant. Break the law of gravitation and it breaks you. Illustration. Jump from a high bouldin gand try it. Obey the law controlling fire, and this might agent becomes your servant. Put your finger in the fire and break the law, and it breaks you. Obey the law of electricity and you have all the power and light and energy that you need. Disobey that law. Take hold of a live wife and you will learn that the wages of law disobeyed is death. The Church has gotten away from the idea of hell, but hell is only the penitentiary for those who break eternal laws. Paul's says the law is a school-master to lead us to Christ.

The law cannot save us. No man has the power to live a perfect life. Jesus Christ, and Christ none, fulfilled all the demands of the law. In his life and character he was the incarnation of the perfect demands of a holy and righteous God. The call of the law for perfection finds its consummation in Jesus Christ. Unable to fulfill perfectly the demands of the law, I turn to Christ as my Savior and my helper. By his spirit I seek to live so in harmony with the will of God that his laws shall be only a blessing in my life. Conclusion. There are some things absolutely essential if we are going to put down the I. W. W., the anarchists and the mobs: 1. Let every good citizen denounce mob violence. Preachers, and press, 4 minute speakers—the whole patriotic program of victory drives—should be put into operation if need be to inculcate the spirit of law and order. No grievance is ever big enough to justify the overthrow of those things. 2. Let every citizen have courage to support the administration of all just laws. Let us elect good, courageous men to office and then support them. 3. Let us proclaim and practice the principle of arbitration as the only reasonable method for settling commercial, civic, state and national differences. 4. Let us educate our children to believe in law and order, and use methods of arbitration for settling their differences. 5. Last of all, let us proclaim and practice the principles of Jesus Christ in all our relationships in life. (See Editor's comment). ATTORNEY AND SOUNSELLOR-AT-LAW ARY Service in the U. S.

A few days ago all California was astir because King Alfred and his Queen with their retinue of courtiers, servants and Prince Leopold, who is to be his father's successor were passing through. Now while America doesn't believe in Kings she certainly kicked up a muss over this crowned head. Few dark-skinned Americans laid off to see the King and his young son Leopold who, if he is like grandpa is a human fiend ready to cut off heads, ears and hands of the dark-skinned subjects of the stolen portion of his domain. THAT PEACE THAT PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING. After going to Europe with the hope of making peace among the warring Nations both President Wilson and Mr. House it seems are about to be called upon to make that peace that passeth all understanding for themselves. In the case of these good men it seems that they seeked to far to do the good that they might have but stopped and done at their very door. However we hope that the Almighty will permit our beloved President to finish his Presidential career before laying down his armor. IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT'S GOOD AND BRAVE IN US LET'S TRY IT. This Lower California movement is growing larger and larger in our vison daily. If enough of these colored Americans would get enough ginger in them to step across the border into Mexico and plant a colony that would attract the attention of even our white hatters. Who knows but what this would be the first real step towards immigration to Africa. The Negroes after all are the real builders of this Republic. They tilled the soil made the roads, and were the pioneer builders of America before European Peasants ever turned their fates towards this country, and until they get out and do for themselves and their what they have done for the white man will be considered only the hewers of wood and drawers of water whose movements are directed by the white man. Now we believe that, if enough colored people would come into Lower California to build a model as well as modality for the first time we would be certainly considered ```markdown ``` Feeling keenly the position of the Negro in the United States, Louis Michel a free lance Jew has sounded his claion in his defense. Last Tuesday evening at the New Hope Baptist Church under the auspices of the Young Women's Missionary Auxiliary Mr. Michel appeared for the first time in what he considers his defense roll, in behalf of the Negro for he believes that sane agitation is the weapon that must be used to break down the methods of discrimination used against the colored American. He named many of the disadvantages suffered by the Negroes in this country, but said, that the thirteen million Negroes in this country who are the rightful heirs of that early African Civilization that produced a Hannibal builted the Sphinx, the Pyramids and laid the foundation for the civilization of the Western World, but who on account of their wandering into idolitry had lost the way, would again come into their own. Mr. Michel has carefully studied the race and as is expressed in his great Epic Poem, "The "Tortured Negro," has pledged it" his support in the new fight for liberty unhampered by prejudice and discrimination. NEGROES HAPPY IN MISSISSIPPI Chicago, Oct. 9—Exceptional happiness, contentment and prosperity among the Negroes of Mississippi is reported by a committee of Chicago white and Negro men after an investigation of conditions in that State. The committee was delegated to visit Mississippi by the Chicago Association of Commerce, the Federal Bureau of Labor and by organized labor to which had been referred a question of aiding the return of southern-born Negroes to the South. A written statement prepared by the committee said: "The happiness, contentment and prosperity among the Negro race in Mississippi is much greater than the committee expected to find. We know no place where greater happiness and prosperity prevail among them." School Facilities Good: School facilities were found to be good; churches adequate; housing conditions being improved rapidly and race relations good, according to the report, while the industrious Negro is afforded excellent opportunities to become a land owner. No police oppression, imposition or "lawlessness" was found. Negro workers in the saw-mill districts were reported happy and contented. Many of the farm laborers were found to be working on the share system. Negroes having no capital, teams or implements are equipped by the land owner, receiving, usually, a half of the crop they produce, while those with teams and implements are given two-thirds. The statement continues: Farming Profitable. "We found that the average worker who cultivated what is known as the 'one mule crop' was able, using the year 1918 as a criterion, to produce a sufficient crop to net him, over and above all living expenses, from $500 to $1500 a year. We found several men who began work under the tenant system and who now own their own plantations and are themselves employers of Negro labor and are worth from, $10,000 to $175,000. These facts were secured from the Negroes themselves and we had the privilege of riding with them and surveying their farms in automobiles they own." NOTE: It is absolutely ridiculous for the daily papers to hand out this sort of stuff to the reading public. It is like giving a baby dying with the Colic soothing syrup. Everybody knows that the Southern and Northern Negro alike is disappointed with the outcome of this World War, that loudly promised Democracy for all. The attitude of America but reminds one of Pharoah's experience with the children of Israel when God commanded him to let them go.

DIG DEEPER BROTHER BROUGHER IF YOU WOULD GET AT THE ROOT OF THE EVIL! The text Law and Lawlessness as discussed by this able apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ—and when we use this sacred name in this discussion may we say that we are simply borrowing it from our good brother's sermon, for our part we are very careful of our own attitude of mind before allowing ourselves to use the name of the Deity in any connection. After reading and carefully considering your very timely sermon Bro. Brougher, we have tried to turn our chemical vision upon what we find therein—good and bad—with the hope of making an unprejudiced analysis. We believe that if some of your suggestions are carried out by State and National officials at least some of the evils that stalk boldly up and down our land will be remedied. But, my good Dr. Brougher aren't you afraid that you, yourself are suffering with a slight attack of prejudice in the case of the Negro? You suggest that the sanctity of white women should be protected from the vicious lawless attacks by Negroes. Do you honestly believe that Negro men are as vicious, and as lawless as you suggest in your sermon? Have you forgotten that the record shows that during the Civil War, when white Southerners went tothe front to fight to retain Negroes as chattel slaves that they left these same Negroes at home as the sole protectors of their white wives and daughters, and in not one case was their sanctity and virtue disturbed by these black protectors. Have you ever thought anything about how the four million mullatores came about in the United States? You no doubt would blush to have old black women living in your very midst relate to you how they became the mothers of their master's sons and daughters, who afterwards became their slaves. It is needless to attempt to analyze the physiological and psychological circumstances that surrounded these early mixed bloods, but it looks like the American white man sowed the wind and now he makes the Negro reap the whirlwind as a result. Some white preachers must tell the truth and nothing but the truth—preach it so hard that it will sink deep into your own soul and become a part of you.

The many kind words of cheer, telephone calls, fruits and flowers, together with the many visits made by my beloved Craftmen, and friends, and the inmates of the Eastern Star Chapters, all I sincerely believe worked in unison with the tender care of our own beloved Dr. Stovall. I am thankful to say, at this writing, that I am up again and almost able to resume my daily activities.

Gordon) On account of the set program that was to be offered at the Forum Sunday by Miss Elizabeth Airline the usual time allotted for general discussion of the current topics was dispensed with. They were, however, to the point, and of the variety that always gives room for wide thinking and plenty of discussion. It is to be hoped that the current topics will be given their share or the program so that those who are eager to air their opinions and perhaps, pick the other fellow's argument to pieces will be given a chance to do so. If the length of each person's discussion of the current topics were limited, particularly when there is a very popular topic, it would give everybody a chance and would also expedite matters generally. Rev. Arline, father of the young lady for whom Sunday at the Forum was given over, had charge of the program. Quite a pleasing program was given: Mrs. Arline handled very commendably a paper dealing with child life and the home. Over $50 was subscribed by the Forum toward this young lady's tuition at Sgellman College, Atlanta, Ga. On this coming Sunday, October 19th Mrs. Minnie Bates will present the Juvenile Order of the Household of Ruth in a body in connection with a splendid program. Whenever the children are announced it is naturally expected that a large crowd will be on hand to greet and inspire them. Our president, Mr. J. W. Coleman is presiding in his usual way, making an earnest effort to please all and to rule fairly and wisely. Programs of excellent merit will be announced each week. The question—Am I my brother's keeper—is perplexing to most men; but to my mind those of us who consider ourselves torch bearers for the kingdom, should first of all feel the responsibility of those about us. At so much what we say here, as what we do here. A good many of us reach way out trying to rectify some other person's home, while our home is left uncared for and is given up to Satan. God is going to hold us responsible for that—this is why we are not bringing more to Christ. The ungodly man and woman when asked about their souls refer us to our own. If you cannot bring your own into the fold you have no business trying to bring others, which is right. Sisters and brothers it were high time for us to be waking up. That is why the world instead of getting better each day is growing worse. Sometimes we say "My if the world would grow better." It will not bring better until we get rid of a lot of living hypocrites who are only in the churches as stumbling blocks. That is why we have hardly any more power in the churches today, we are going empty handed to Jesus when we do go. Some people think by going to church on Sunday and giving their collection that they are good Christians; sometimes if you were to ask the minister about them he would hardly know them, the way they render such poor service to God. "Be not deceived, whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." We who go out as Missionaries should be pure and understand our duty to God. We seem to be so particular about doing anything down here for our friends and when it comes to doing something for God we give Him half-way service. Let us all give God full service. A mother was talking to her son, and said: "What are you worth, John?" The son looked up indignantly. "Why what do you mean, mother?" "Well," answered the mother, "when one wants to find out what one is worth, we must know what he owes, and cannot pay; are you not heavily in debt?" "What do I owe?" asked John. "How about the clothes and food and the education?" "Well, I owe to you," said John. "Yes, but it was Christ who made it possible for you to have the food, and the clothes and the school. You see it costs a great deal to build a little house into a man; and then, there is all our Christian country made possible through Christ." "If never the thought I am supposed to wish John," "Well, if I wish the mother, you can never say it, but there is one thing that you can give to Christ, and that is your soul. He will boy of Christ's body. We pray to Christ, as the hand must pay the heal if the hand does its duty. Oh! if everyone of us could only realise our duty—lightening up dark corners; cheering the woes; helping the needy; not looking for our reward down here but a crown which the Lord our righteous judge will give us in the day of his appealing. The great gate swere opened and many people were passing in. A child had slipped through and stood within the courts of paradise looking up at the palace of the king. An angel stood watching at the gate. "May I go in too?" the child asked. "I do not know dear child. Our great king is giving audience today to those whose names are there written in the Golden Book of Remembrance. Only those names are there whose good deeds the King likes best to remember. I shall see if your name is there" "My teachers all praise me and say that I am the best girl in school. I know it must be there." Then the angel opened the great Golden Book and seceded it carefully. "What did you say you had done?" asked the angel. "I once gave half the money from my savings bank to a Missionary. None of the others gave so much." "No," said the angel. "there is nothing about that here." "At Christmas time I used to give half of my playthings to the poor children, surely that must be there." Again the angel shook his head. "It is not written here." Tears came into the child's eyes. "I can remember nothing more. Oh, how I wish I could have done something to make the king glad!" Then the angel looked lovingly down at the child. "Every deed of kindness gladdens the heart of our king but in the Golden Book are written only those deeds that done with no thought of praise, but just for love sake, it is written in the book that once a little girl found a poor, hungry boy in the street, and gave him the cake that had just been given her; you were that child." The child looked up puzzled. "I don't remember that act at all. If it were I who gave the cake, I must have forgotten it." The angel smiled sweetly. "The things we forget are often the things the King likes to remember." Then the angel took her by the hand and led her up the shining steps right into the throne room of the king and a voice like wonder music said to her. "I was hungry and ye gave me to eat; inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me." So we see by that illustration that it is not the big things in life that count but little things done that our king likes best to remember.

Danny hit name old story ever again, the only chance a victor has to win out at jack Dotie's is to kill in man of, and if he doesn't show any signs of coming to in the next twenty hours, may be the stranger will not the decision. Danny hit Farrell with ev- rything except the ring-post, chan- ellers and water buckets, and the test he could get from his classic howing was a draw, which was highway robbery. In the first round junny stepped out and gave Farrell sample of what was in store and af- er stepping rings around his man or two minutes Farrell decided that he goings were much safer if he could clench, but Danny proved too ot, just as they broke Edwards ought Farrell on the chin with a pretty upper cut causing the young ent to kiss the canvass in a sitting eation. The second round found Edwards the master again, after mixing things while Danny let go a clean chop to the chin flooring his man for the second time; Farrell tried hard in his round but he found too much Edwards, and had to be contented with being able to stay on his feet he rest of the round. The third round was Farrell's round because banny took a good rest in order not to take any chances in the wind-up. When we say the third was Farrell's round, we meant that he did a little edging and hit two or three blows more than did. Edwards but did no amage. The fourth found Danny out finishing up his boxing exhibition at the expense of Farrell. Edwards came up stronger in this round than he did in he first and plainly demonstrated that he was master at all times, finishing the round nicely appearing to be just getting warm for a real hard right. And the best he received was draw; even Jack Doyle shook his ear on the decision—it was ran. It took us back to the day of old then we looked over in Edward's ormer and saw Watson Barris, one of the best trainers the game has ever known, coaching the little fighter throughout the four rounds. Watson turns has handled the best pokers he world has ever known, and when you see him step into the ring behind fighter you can feel sure that the oxer is going to give his opponent run for the honors, and it is a safe set that if the fighter will listen to instructions he will come out victor. If Edward's will stay here for a while and put himself in Burn's hands can't be surprised if he whips everything that comes his way. He is really good now but under the care of Watson he will be able to learn some thing that no other fighter in that world knows, the tricks of the cold master. Joe Gans. Burns is the only man living that can teach them to him, for no one else knows them but te. Johnny Celmars fought a scared light respecting Dalton's wicked let- tle in four rounds. Next Tuesday light Young George and Billy Shade will meet in the main event. BOXING CLASS If it is boxing you are looking for last drop in at the Y. M. C.

Jake says that Buster Brown and his specials don't amount to much; they are a bunch of large fellows just bluffing their way through and if they will accept his challenge he will cut them down to his size. Now Buster, you have been crying for action, here is your chance get busy, get in touch with Mr. James and let us see if he is right or not. SPORSMAN ON HUNTING TRIP Our pals Joseph Oliver, Littleton McDuff and Roy Mabrey left last Wednesday night for the northern part of the State on a two week's hunting trip. Watson Burns is to meet them in Bakersfield if he can arrange his business so that he can leave it for so long a period. After leaving Bakersfield they will motor through Fresno. Sacramento, Thoma. San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Cruise and Chico, returning the first of next month. The members of the Carribean Cricket Club are notified to attend a very important meeting to be held at the Armory at Exposition Park directly frightening our practicing "pitch." Matters of vital interest will be discussed and every member is respectfully urged to be present. The time is 1 p.m. and the day is Sunday, October 19th. Practice will begin directly after the meeting. HALL OF RECORD OPERATORS GOOSE-EGGED THE JANITORS Van Williams' Pets Failed to Startle The one thing we would like to know first of all is where did the "Apple King" ever get it into his "dome" that he was a pitcher? We wouldn't know; maybe a baseball pitcher lived in its neighborhood years, and years, and years ago when Van was a little funny thing in the disguise of an infant. Anyway, we sincerely hope that he has woke up and won't go around telling everyone that he can pitch for they know different now; one thing we will give his credit for he made a little business for the tailor. All he had was a straight ball and a prayer and believe us he wore that prayer out. Every time he would throw the ball he dropped to his knees and offered a prayer for the batter to miss; when the game was over and he was relieved of his misery it was discovered that he had worn a hole in the knees of his trousers. With the exception of a few errors their failing to connect with the ball and field those hot liners, they played a nice game. Can you imagine Buster Brown playing third base? Oh Poy! he played some game. If you could have seen him in an inning when the pitcher walked him, trying to steal second, he reminded you of a rolling barrel. Early in the first half of the fifth inning when things were exciting the ball was thrown to Buster, to tag a runner out at third? Brown caught the ball alright, and thought he had tagged his man out, but when we finally convinced him that he was wrong, the truth came to light: he had tagged himself on his prominent bread basket, thinking he was touching the runner for an out. The Country Boy will have a real team on the field in a short time. There are some very good players to draw from, and within the next few weeks will be ready to take on all comers. John White, third baseman for the Operators played a star game. He is a good hitter and fielded every chance in nice style. Those to share the honors with White were Daniels, Steward, Albritton and Bynum. The stars for the Janitors were Freeman, Sullivan and Green. Clark caught a fair game for Williams' pets, but he couldn't throw to second and was shy the pep that a catcher should have. Brooks and Edward thought they were playing football in the outer garden and would kick the pill at every opportunity. With a little more training Foote. Hammond and H. White will round into form and put up a strong fight. The last three named have played less ball than any other player in the line up, but with a few more week's playing will find them in line with the rest of the head liners. Say, as a pinch hitter the boss would make a good boiler maker.

Everyone has been digesting it believing the same thing, they have said it so often that they believe it themselves. But our old pal Leon W. Steward says nothing doing, and in order to make his prediction true he has challenged the blue coats for a serumage next Saturday afternoon on the Y. M. C. A. grounds in Boyle Heights, 2834 Stevenson Avenue. Mr. Steward has been here but a short time, but it seems to us that he has been with us for several years. He walked right in, took hold of the reins with Prof. Greene and let us all know that he is here. When the Y, M. C. A. secured the services of Mr. Steward to take up the Boy's Work class and athletics, they found a man that was made for the position. When you say athletics you have done nothing but pour water o nthis wheel for he knows every game that can be named from A to Z. The sports he has lined out for this winter are baseball, tennis, men and boys gym classes, indoor basket ball, swimming and a track team. He would like to have a football team but it is so late in the season that by the time he could get one on foot the season would be half over, so we will look forward to next season for the Grid.

This club has the membership of six players at the present time and are playing for a beautiful cup which will be awarded the victor of the series of 15 games. Al Ramsey, by defeating one of the best players of San Diego, P. S. Moore, three cut of three, closely contested games, took first position in the first week of play. The standing of players will appear in the Eagie each week.

HENRY JONES LEAVES MONDAY Friend Henry was to have left last Monday for Freeso but was forced to stay over another week in order to straighten out the company's business in his department before journeying north. BANGTAILS WILL STAY AT ASCOT With one hundred stalls filled, the stabling capacity at Ascot Park is being doubled to meet the demand from horsemen for winter quarters. Many of the owners that came to California in the expectation of going to The Juana will remain here to cast their fortunes with the program being arranged for the next few months.

Mr. Dunn the president of the West Side Tennis-Club presented the trophies to the winners of the Labor Day Tournament who were: Mrs. Henry Young; Miss Lottie Bolds and Mr. H. Gladden. The trophies were properly received minus the speech. JUNIOR BOYS TEAM The Junior Boy ball team is well on its way under the direction of Mr. Leon W. Steward of the Y. M. C. A. and will issue a challenge within the next two weeks to all comers. VERSON AND ST. PAUL AFTER THE MONEY Seems a Prearranged Affair. From the looks of things Vernon and St. Paul were out for the money instead of honors. Vernon no doubt is the stronger of the two teams and should have won the bacon and had the St. Paul followers heading north long ago. It is true that the profits of the first five games went to the players, but the owners had to have their share and pay traveling expenses so the public was the goat. Last Saturday afternoon was a regular Ladies day on the Alpha Courts. There were several new players out and Miss Fern Caldwell our deity little champion played the roll of instructor, which was highly appreciated by the beginners. They considered it an honor to have Miss Caldwell as an instructor and took advantage of every point shown them. Keep it up little champ you have proven a great help to the game and we all appreciate it. Say, when the Omega Tennis Club stages their November Tournament we will see some real action when the ladies face each other in the ladies singles. There will be two new clubs to enter, one of them we will have to give some very careful consideration, which is no other than the Y. W. C. A. Miss Caldwell will have to be very careful when she faces the Y. W. C. A.'s Secretary; for the tournament who will be Miss Harris. Miss Harris has not played in a tournament since the Pasadena affair since that time she has been training earnestly in private not taking part in any public affair. Now that the Y. W. C. A. has joined the Federation of Tennis Clubs she is their best bet, and take it from us girls, be careful or there will be a new champ around the Y. W. C. A. dugout. The Alpha "Partheniai" Club will have some pretty hard players to subdue in the November Tournament. Miss Melvin Smith the newest member of the Partheniai Club can be found on the courts every afternoon training for the coming set to. According to the critic she will be very troublesome for the champion and estwhile champs to dispose of. She is a very enthusiastic young player and is playing a bitter game, even more bitter than she played when at school. Ilroy Lott and Frenest Blygum are in a habit of getting up at sunrise every Sunday morning and playing until dark. We don't know what up but we see trouble ahead next month. They sure put up a stubborn battle last Sunday playing all day without either one winning the first set. So don't be surprised if you should happen to pass tomorrow around sun up, and see them battling for hope trying to break the set. *Powers the smart manager must put out the unsuccessful unit to start.* on a box and peeped over the net to see if he could locate the back line, and get the range for his drives. Eddie Harris was out singing 'em. He says that when he faces Hendell Gladen our new champ next month he will muss that mean little cat and those placements of his all up. We'll see Eddie; don't count your chickens before they are hatched. The East 9th St. Branch of the Y. M. C. A. is to be congratulated for having harnessed up as Boy's Work Secretary Mr. Leon W. Steward, a "grad" of Lincoln University of Penn. who has just returned from overseas service with a radio company in France. Under the direction of executive Secretary T.A. Green, young Steward who is an all around athlete of no mean ability is ambilens to inject a quart or two of "new life, pep and ginger" into the now stagnant blood of young Los Angeles. Yea boy, he proposes to draft recuits for a base, ball club, a basketball club, indoor ball and tennis clubs and will also entertain with little harmless boxing "work-outs." Yes, we'll say they are harmless, but if this bimbo ever straightens out on you once, you never know you were hit. We had a little "owrk-out" with this bird the other day, and say—that guy has a left like the "arm of the law." and a kick in his right like an army mule.—"work-out," huh! But what was far more to our "liking" was the decision to organize a tennis club, with a junior or senior brach, with an age limit of from one to one hundred years. A. D. So a gang of juniors with tennis championships in their carcasses were corralled at the Y. M. C. A. last Wednesday at 5 p. m. and became the cornerstones of the Y. M. C. A. Tennis Club. All men or boys above 18 who wish to join this club can "get in" on the grown floor next Wednesday night. October 22nd at 8 p. m., as this club has all the car marks of becoming one of the strongest bunch of net busters in this neck of the woods; so be sure to brach! Just wait a minute please—those "V" girls are not napping by a ing full. Miss Ethel Caution, get that Dick? Miss "Ethel" Caution, that pretty charming little secretary of the East 12th St. Center, Y. W. C. A. who is also a "grad" from a University (whatever that is) up in the Empire State, (N. Y.) and she has more sheep skins pasted around the walls than the secretary of the War Department. And, an athlete, yeah!—should shay she. O utter see her hurdle those Pasadena hills every Saturday night with her gang of suffragetts on their way to Mt. Wilson or Mt. Chester. I forgot which; anyhow, they are some hikers, believe me. While laying no particular rider to pigulistic ability, but at basket and indoor hall, good night. And as a side-saddle horseback rider? Sax. Miss Caution can do more signs with an Indian mustang money than Widf Bill Hurt ever could do with a new horse or Clydes, "gran." A teenager who has been a horsewoman since whoring conditions to justice like the champion from Caldwell and beech, he is to ensure the championship group as an applauded goo, two, grandbull, how age following about Satisfv Taste; High-Grad- Chocolates A A.
