Our own Mrs. PaulineDaniels of this city read the call in the Defender and came to our office asking that womake a similar appeal to Los Anwe make a similar appeal to Los Anindeed we say, let all race men and Power, go down upon their knees and beseech Almighty God that a relenting hand be placed upon the hearts and hands or maliciously charged with crime. We hope that this appeal to Los CHRISTMAS WAS WORK DAY IN THE SANTA CLARA VALLEY Thousands of Trees and Vine Cuttings are Called for. Santa Clara, Lower California. Mexico. Dec. 25—Christmas morning broke bright, and wasm in Santa Clara Valley. After an early morning Xmas prayer led by President Troy which was followed by a hearty Xmas breakfast and which newly killed venison was the "piece de resistance." the men were at their ploughs for a hard day's work. As things now stand the Santa Clara Valley boys are ahead of the Guadupe boys in their ploughing. Mr. Eugene Roberts is in the ploughing champion for the past week, leading Mr. Dewey Massey by a slight nose. Mr. Dewey Massey announces that for the coming week he will show a greater acreage of ploughing per horse than Mr. Eugene Roberts ever showed in his life. The time will soon be here for the planting of orange and lemon trees, walnut trees, apple, peach and apricot trees as well as Thompson's seedless vines. All Santa Clara Valley land holders are urged to get their trees down in the early part of January if possible. In addition to fruit trees and vines the Company is desirous of having land owners plant at least five thousand young Eucalyptus trees during the coming season. Engineer Walter J. Simpson accompanied by Mrs. Claudius A. Troy and her children left for a brief visit to their respective families in Los Angeles during the Xmas season. Mr. A. J. Ellis is not only a valuable assistant in surveying the lands of the Valley but holds the record as the crack shot of the Valley in addition to being the only man in the Valley who can slap a Mexican broncho into submission at will. On and after January 1, 1920, the price of Santa Clara Valley fillable lands will advance from Thirty Dollars ($50.00) to Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per acre. Only those may obtain advantage of the $30.00 price who have listed their orders with the offices of the Company prior to January 1, 1920. RACE MAN BREAKS RECORD Mr. John F. Turner, colored deep sea diver, broke the world's record for sea diving on December 16th at Grave's Light, off the Massachusetts Coast when he descended 360 feet; his previous record was 167 feet. The diving suit worn by Mr. Turner was constructed entirely of brass and weighed 400 pounds. It was invented by Mr. Chas. H., Armstrong a colored mechanic; it is built upon the principle of the ancient coat of armor. Engineers estimated the pressure upon the metal suit was 150 pounds to the square inch. After being encased in the huge suit Turner was lowered into the sea by a derrick; the descent required thirty minutes. The Soaring Eagle on the job 52 weeks in the year will have an important announcement to make in our next issue which will be our initial number for the year 1920. Look out for the same. The California Lawyer CHRISTMAS TREE SUCCESS THE CITIZENS 1919 YULETIDE COMMITTEE'S FIRST CHRISTMAS TO THE POOR CHILDREN OF THE RACE A SUCCESS With the spacious Y. M. C. A. building tastefully decorated, a huge Christmas tree, laden to capacity, and a real spirit of Christmas reigning supreme the efforts of the Yuletide Committee to give to every child of th race, a ral Christmas celebration, was crowned with success. Professor J. A. McKiney, who has toured the world with his magic art, gave the children an hour of entertainment, that they will always remember. This Committee was organized only two weeks before Christmas, and the success achieved clearly demonstrates what can be accomplished for and by our people, when efforts are united and real workers take the field. Arrangements were made for 300 children and owners of machines contributed their use to convey the kiddies to and fro. Never again should we ask others to provide presents for our children, or baskets for our poor, with a little efforts, we can well care for our own. It is a pleasure to note that all the funds were contributed by race men and women. It is also a pleasure to note that the Los Angeles Forum, led all organizations in contributions for this purpose, as well as having taken the initiative in launching this movement in the community. The Committee tenders it thanks to all who contributed in any way to the success of the idea, and sincerely request a like co-operation in future years. The Yuletide Committee is a permanent institution, that will make every effort to give to our poor a greater Christmas yearly. Especial credit is due Miss Gladys Harris of the County Charities, who conceived the brilliant idea, and her tireless co-workers of the Executive Board—Miss Caution, Y. W. C. A. Secretary: Mrs. J. White and Mrs. Mrs. Richardson. T. A. Cole; Secretary Green of the Y. M. C. A.; J. B. Bass; the President; Treasurer and members of the Yuletide Committee awakened at the eleventh hour and worked hard to carry out every detail of the plan. Committee members Westheimer, Winston, Gordon, Eades, Snell and Banks gave their Dollar Contribution, but were awfully shy on rendering any "Brown skin service," the thing that actually counts when going over the top. A final report will be made by the Secretary, closing accounts for the present year. In our next weeks issue, we will publish a detailed account of the above celebration under the auspices of the Yuletide Committee. THE AGME BUFFALO REALTY COMPANY 1400 Central Ave. We desire to call attention to this institution of which a whole page advertisement appeared in our big Xmas number of last week. This firm has located and opened up magnificent quarters at 14th and Central Avenue, and promises to make that location famous for the bargains which they can offer in their line. By their aggressive campaign just launched they propose to demonstrate the real worth of a real business right in the midst of the people. Dealing justly and offering the very best bargains that can be obtained will be their specialty. The Eagle bepeaks for this firm your earnest consideration and a trial. It is few and far "veen that our men is business will out" like they really want LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1919 THE OLDEST LARGEST to do business, but here comes the Acme Buffalo Company right out and announce that they want your business and offer their inducements—square dealing; the best possible bargains at the lowest possible prices and a corps of salesmen at your command who have made a study of the Realty business and are ever alert for real bargains. The main spring of the firm, Lleut. J. W. White, aggressive and right on the job every minute of the time, assisted by V. M. Cole the veteran realty dealer; J. D. Groves; Wm. Sedge; Mr. Cunningham; Slosson and other are certainly in a position to bring things to pass. CHRISTMAS OBSERVED BEAUTIFUL SERVICE WAS HELD AT 8th. AND TOWNE AVENUE CHURCH XMAS MORNING. The 5 o'clock A. M. service at the 1st. A. M. E. church on Christmas morning drew a crowd which filled the large and spacious Auditorium of that church. The service was most beautiful to behold and in keeping with the spirit of the birth of the Christ. Rev. A. M. Ward the pastor preached a most wonderful sermon. A special feature was the musical arrangement by both the senior and Junior choirs of the church. The Junior choir with their new and immaculate robes was impressive indeed. A NEW DAY The spirit of Southern intolerance, aggressive and unresisting is fastly reaching its climax in the Nation's life. The spirit of true Americanism not insured nor plused by the hypenated influx of foreign influences has produced here and there a disciple who has the courage of his convictions to rise up and publicly protest against the dominating influences that apparently hold in anchorage the Negro's progress, and his right to his initiative. A new liberty, broader and better,—a new spirit of justice, untarnished and unfettered is growing up and is declaring itself out of the thirty decades of African slavery and although the present generation may not enjoy it, yet they will witness another Lincoln who will come and challenge their cause and will leave behind him the trail of glory, shining like the sun in the path of which freed through the mandate of the great soul of the immortal Lincoln, four millions of Negroes. No other injective is needed to spur the young ones on other than the aftermath of the world war, for those black men did not die in vain who gave their all but left encouched in flaming characters for all men to see, that the new day is dawning. It is not ours to get discouraged, for the American white man will yet share with their darker brother all that is distinctively American, recognizing that we are with him. We were with him in the slaughter hells of Europe and over the fields and upon the spots where in centuries gone by the armies of Caesar, of Hannibal and Attila of Charlemange and Napoleon had fought and bled and perished. Yes, the new day is dawning. And there is no room in this country for the pessimist—the imbecile, or the dyspeptic who disparages the real greatness of the American Nation and yet only hirelings would dare do such. So whatever may have been our blunders or our mistakes, our material worth and our marvelous allegiance to our government has hastened the advent of this new day and the still halting faith of the inquiring Negro will reap its glorious reward. THE LEADING A special ruling allows all former service men, no matter when discharged, to reinstate their insurance on or before December 31, 1919, on statement in their applications that they are in as good health as at the date of discharge or at the date of the expiration of the grace period for the payment of premiums, whichever is the later date, and payment, of two months' premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated. After December 31st, the privilege of reinstatement will be limited to the period of 18 months, following the month of discharge, or 12 months following the month of lapse, if reinstatement is made after 18 months following month of discharge. As only two months' premiums are now required for reinstatement, a former serviceman who paid more than two months' back premiums in reinstating prior to July 25, 1919, can, on application, obtain credit for any premiums so paid in excess of two and have the overplus applied toward future premium payments. The Bureau of War Risk Insurance wants the service men to know what their rights are as to Government insurance and themethods by which this insurance may be retained or reinstated. It is to the interest of every service man whose insurance may have lapsed or been canceled to apply at oncefor reinstation. To wait may mean disaster. Check of money order should be made payable to the Treasurer of the United States and, with the aplication, sent to the Premium Receipt Section, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D.C. that State by 40,000 last month, was made chairman of the Committee on Arragements of the Chicago convention on the 8th of June. New England, the Middle West and the Rocky Mountain region all brought reports of the trend from President Wilson and his party. "The Republican party faces the ap proaching campaign with devotion and confidence," said Governor Sproul, of Pennsylvania. "It comes forward to the contest with clean hands and a stout heart, convinced that upon the termination of the issue to be fought out next year depends not only he progress but the safety of the Republic." Candidates for the nomination were discussed, as they always are six months before the convention, but public expression was confined to the issue. Foremost of these will be Americanism. This includes determination to remain aloof from the effort to control European affairs, to assert aggressively our spirit on this continent, to retain involate on constitution and institutions, to maintain law and order and to assimilate into a common language and inspiration all of the nationalities of the "meeting pot." Secondary issues will be Democratic extravagance, waste, usurpation of power, vascularization of policy and failure to conserve American interests in Mexico and in the treaty of peace. "It is essential, however, said Governor Sproul, "that we approach the next campaign notin an attitude of criticism but in a spirit of constructive suggestion. We must lay our plans to meet the menace to our place and well-being on our southern boundary, not by high sounding phrases and impotuous and unprepared military moves, but by a sane and definite policy which will represent the real feeling of the American people in dealing with the arrogant and ignorant enemies of the country who are in control of the affairs of the Mexican nation and who have no respect for the power or dignity of the United States. But our first duty is to our own people in meeting the questions which intimately affect the welfare of every citizen. While we are organizing a mopping-up policy to clean out the intolerable nests of inefficiency and extravagance in some departments of our national government." RACE JOURNAL our plans for a broad-minded adjustment of our industry questions. Someone has said that this country is now fully developed and that we may turn the larger part of our attention to other projects, many of which are vague and indefinite, and seemingly impracticable. How can anyone hold that this country is developed when there is so much to do, here for our own people? We must come down out of the mists of the impracticable and plant our feet squarely upon the path of national development. The people want relief from the intermable melding of government departments in their personal affairs. They want a return to the people themselves of the powers given to the executive in time of war. The Republican party is ready and equal to the task. With Republicans on guard and Republican policies in effect we may look forward to a period of progress unexamined in all our wonderful history. A A. B.

Scott, Secretary Treasurer of Howard University, announces that Col. Theodore Rooselvelt, son of the former president of the United States has accepted the suggestion of Dr. J. Stanley Durkee., President of Howard University, that his name be proposed for election as a member of the Howard University Board of Trustees at the meeting of the Board to be held in February. President Rooselvelt in speaking of Howard University some years ago, said, "It is from this Institution that are graduated those who will lead and teach their less fortunate fellows. Upon their leading and teaching much depends for their race and their Country. I have a peculiar interest in Howard University because of having seen the effects of their work close at hand." The former President's son has something of the same "peculiar interest in Howard University", and is planning to co-operate in every way possible with the officials of the University in putting under way the great reconstruction and reorganization program of the University, as he has aptly said, a new conception of her mission, through aiming practically and deliberately at meeting the National demand in race leadership.

RAILROAD BILL No clause against Jimcrow cars in Cummins Bill—Colored race demands abolition of this American humiliation after bloody war for World Democracy—Northern Senators petitioned—Hearing demanded—Race everywhere should write and telegraph Sen. Cummins to grant hearing and Senators from their states to move amendment to bill on floor—Rev. Robinson elected organizer of League. Washington, D. C., Dec. 8, 1919 Last week saw the opening of the regular session of the 66th Congress. The chief interest of Colored citizens was as to Jimcrow cars, aside from the curiosity whether President Wilson would make recommendations against injustices to the race in his message, as requested in the "Open Appeal" of Secretary Trotter of the Equal Rights League. Te Cummins railroad bill was reported from the Interstate Commerce Committee on Wednesday and had no clause whatever against Jimcrow cars. It is given the right of way. Every Northern Senator has received a petition from the National Equal Rights League to secure and support an amendment forbidding color segregation of interstate or denial of any grade of service because of race or color. Both Senator Frelinghuyson, Republican of New Jersey and Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Kansas, had promised assistance. The League also on Thursday telgraphed chairman Cummins a request that a hearing on the matter begranted before the Interstate Commerce Committee. At a meeting of the national executive committee of the National Equal Rights League held Tuesday fornoon in the vestry of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Rev. J. G. Robinson, until recently of Chattanooga, exiled since his Open Letter to THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP—NO MAN DOWN President Wilson on the Washington Riots, was elected National Organizer in place of Rev. B. N. Murrells who resigned and recommended Rev. Robinson whose address is to be at 631 Pine St. Philadelphia. Bombard The Senate To pressing duty of the race everywhere, churches, organizations and individuals, to make the test on world democracy and to uphold the manhood of the race is to at once write or telegraph Senator Cummins, Chairman of Interstate Commerce Committee, L. S. Senate, Washington, D. C. to grant a committee hearing for a clause against interstate Jincrow cars, and to write or telegraph Senators of their state (except in South) to move on the floor of the Senate and to support an amendment of this kind.

Church will preach in afternoon and brethren from the liance, with members of their A large and joyful audience presented itself to Superintendent Johnson last Sunday morning in our Sunday School. The Subject Lesson was that of the Birth of Christ, and all were deeply interested in it. The chief point brought out was that of Los being the universal gift to all unkind. When the Pastor rose to enlarge upon the Lesson he was additionally inspired to speak by the surprise gift of a sure enough Five Dollar Bill from the Superintendent. At this time of writing the receiver is smiling still. Our 11 o'clock service was marked with evidence of the Divine presence and blessing. The Text was Matthew 1:21—"Thou shalt call His name JESUS for He shall save His people from their sins." Truly the Lord was in His Holy Sanctuary, and there to bless His people. The Visitors and Strangers received the usual recognition and sincere welcome. One united with the Church at the close. The Junior Missionary Society hold its usual Meeting and provision to treat the Poor with kindly tangible remembrance for the Christmas. The Meeting of the B. Y. P. U. was most inspiring. The Officers nominated for election this Sunday evening accepted their nominations gracefully. In the Evening our Brother Shipley preached for us a very helpful Sermon on The Prodigal Son. At 3 o'clock the Pastor with some of the Deacons and Deacons, and members of the Church went out to The Old Folk Home and there held a most delightful service with the inmates. Dr. Proud will deliver a Special Sermon this Sunday Morning on The Faithfulness of God to His People. The Young People will elect officers for the ensuing year. The Sunday School will also elect its officers. Convention and Trip Report will oe made at the B. Y. P. U. Meeting by Mrs. Pauline Hubert, corroborated by Mrs. Alice Busby. These Sisters will have much of interest to relate and therefore a large gathering is expected. Do not fail to attend our Special Do not fail to attend our Special "Watch Service" Wednesday night.

The pastor preached two soul-stirring messages at the morning and evening services. The Hily Spirit was present and blessed the hearts of the worshippers. There were three accessions to the membership of the church at the morning service. This church cotinules to grow in popularity and numbers. The singing of our choir is always a pleasing feature of the services. They sang to the delight of the worshippers on Sunday. Strangers and visitors are always welcome at the services of this home-like church. Come where a real gospel message awits you and where the old time fire is burning.

PAUL BAPTIST INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH 21st and Naomi Avenue There was a large attendance at Sunday School this past Sabbath. The Lesson was interesting and made very plain by the facts brought out in the review by Pastor Holt. At eleven a.m. Pastor Holt preached a soul-stirring sermon using as a text, Gen. 7:7—"And Noah went ind and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the Ark, because of the waters of the flood." Subject, "On the inside loking out." Theme: "Heed the Warning." This was a lesson that shall long be remembered, showing how mindful God is of man, how he had provided everything for him. He is so merciful until he never sends a catastrophe until he has given warning and every one has given a chance to be saved. After all this kindness, Pastor Holt plainly illustrated man's ungrateful attitude towards God. At 8 p. m. the Pastor came with another message: Text John 7:46—"Never man spake like this man." Theme: "Jesus the brave man," Subject: "The Heavenly Orator." This was a glorious meeting, many were compelled to give vent to their feelings as this man of God delivered the message, as the Holy Spirit gave him utterance. One young woman joined the army at this service. Come to St Paul and enjoy a real Gospel Feast. BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST— (Holiness) Heeper Ave. and East Adams St. Elder Wm. A. Washington, Pastor.

MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH— Watts, California Rev. John A. Fleming, Pastor. The past Sunday was a very busy day at Macedonia. The Sunday School was largely attended. At eleven o'clock, Rev. R. H. Wade, field missionary of the Western Baptist Association, preached from Revelations 4—"Glory to the Glorious One." At three o'clock, the B. Y. P. U. Federation held its last meeting for the year at this church. After an excellent program, election of officers was held. The same officers were elected, with the exception of three—Chorister, Organist and Corresponding Secretary, these offices being vacant, were filled from this church. Rev. Wade was also present at this service. At the Evening service, Rev. Wade again preached to us. A beautiful B. Y. P. U. lesson taught us what Christmas means to us and how we best can celebrate Christmas by making others happy and prayerfully acknowledging the presence of our Savior. EDITORIAL COMMENT An extraordinary state of affairs is revealed by the publication of the facts surrounding the preparation of the Fall resolution concerning Mexico, which the President condemned in his recent letter—a condemnation which related not merely to the resolution was introduced. It developes that the Fall resolution was matured in collaboration with and at the request of the State Department. Secretary Lansing, in view of the gravity of the situation, saw the need of co-operation, and at his request Senator Fall was summoned to Washington. The Senator went from the station to the Secretary's house. There the Secretary outlined his plan and received hearty indorsement. The matter was then taken to the Foreign Relations Committee and resolutions along the line of Mr. Lansing's policy were prepared Ambassador Fletcher, acting for the Department of State, selected the form deemed the better, and this resolution was introduced in the Senate the next day. This was the resolution which the President has assailed as infringing his prerogative. No wonder Chairman Lodge when the amazing letter came out of the White House, dryly remarked: "We waited to help—that's all." Secretary Lansing continues in the State Department and has been quoted as saying he does not intend to resign. He did not resign when the uncontricted Bullitt testimony showed he was opposed to the covenant as drawn. So perhaps there is no special reason why he should quit now.—New York Tribune.

Each week we see our girls taking more interest in newspaper, work—Miss Lucinda Pollard, a local girl and a graduate of a recognized Domestic Science School is furnishing excellent recipes for brides and home makers, through this paper.—More subs more news—Subscribe now! --- Sergeant London, formerly drum major of the 368th Infantry band was declared by the House of Representatives to be the neatest soldier carrying a musical baton at the head of any military band. He is now a Policeman on the Philadelphia police force. The National Memorial Association held a large meeting last week at Liberty Hut, Washington, D.C., to prepare for a drive to raise funds to build a monument in honor of the colored soldiers and sailors who fought in all the wars of the Nation and the great World War. Thirty military fraternal and benevolent organizations were represented. During the coal strike in Oklahoma, Governor Roberson called for troops to protect property, etc., when he discovered he would be sent two companies of colored infantrymen from Columbus, New Mexico, he cacelled his request with the insolent statement that such troops would only involve us in unnecessary conflict and confusion. The needs of our city or the business I would like to see opened and would all in my power to support. We resolve to start the New Year right— We believe that our girls can be leaders, can co-operate, can succeed— We believe that this is woman's hour and she cannot fail— There are over 35,000 colored people in this city—there are at least 10,000 young women who have their race at heart and want to see business enterprises succeed and new ones opened. The hour is at hand for colored girls to take the reins in their own hands and offer suggestions or constructive criticism on the needs of the hour Colored girls all over the U. S. are being dismissed from positions they have held for years—just think one store alone in Washington, D. C. dismissed 58 race girls in one week. They were honest, capable, efficient girls and the only reason offered was that the minimum wage for women has been placed at $16.50 per week and that was too much money to pay colored girls. In a lecture recently, Miss Eva Bowles, National Secretary for Colored Y. W. C. A. said, "The time has passed for white leadership for colored people. The war has given opportunity for the colored woman to prove her ability for leadership, she had the chance and she made good." Woman's day is at hand and we must produce leaders among the young women. What do you think would be the most beneficial business girls of this city could enter into? A Coupon good at the Brazington Photo Studio for photographs will be offered as first prize. A year's membership in the Y. W. C. A. is offered as second prize. A hair dress at one of the leading beauty parlors is offered as third. Mall all answers to Social Editress write only on one side of the paper; all answers must be in by January 22. three competented judges will be appointed, their names will be published in our next edition. Have you decided on taking a course in auto instruction yet? The night schools will be opening new classes in a short time. The annual report of the Red Cross states that 12,000 women were active members of the motor corps. In New York City there were two units of colored women, one unit had a membership of 40 young women. These women prepared themselves in advance and we would do well to follow their example—Go to night school and learn free of charge! Miss Lillia Jones and Mrs. Josie Jones Wharton are attending the Gunter School for Embalmers, the only recognized school for Colored students in the Southwest. Classes for illiterate women and girls of our race have been opened in Philadelphia by the Association for the protection of colored women. They intend to see that every race woman and girl can read and write. Thirty race women acted as saleslady's demonstrators at the U. S. Navy supplies sale, held in New York this week; the sale was conducted at Salem M. E. Church. Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 11—"I have never worked, and I am never going to," Susie Jennings told city judge Wels today. "Alright, Susie, remarked his honor, "fifty years at hard labor. The sentence isn't legal of course; he commented, "but she'll stay in the work house as long as I stay in office." This is characteristic of Southern justices. Vinita, Okla., Nov. 16—A white Undertaker here would not hire his hearse to be used in the funeral of a colored lady, saying that colored people could not ride in the same hearse that whites rode in. SERMONETTE "The old year is fast slipping back behind us. We cannot stay it if we would. We must go on and leave our past. Let us go forth nobly. Let us go as those whom greater thoughts and greater deeds await beyond." —PHILLIPS BROOKS. THE UNKNOWN PATHWAY We stand at the threshold of an opening year. None of us know what is in store for each and everyone during the year 1920. This we are assured of however, being children of the Heavenly King, that whatever comes to us; we can only welcome it as coming from one who knows and directs our destiny. Can you recall the many you danced with last year who are in Eternity this year? And how many more you will dance in the New year with this year that will be in Eternity next year? Maybe many went into Eternity without making peace with God. Does it ever give you a thought, that our life here is not life? Because the life to be enjoyed is the life beyond. Won't it be a sad day to many who are glorifying themselves in the ballroom dancing away the old year that will be sadly disappointed at the end of their journey to hear these words? "Depart from me into everlasting punishment" Let me ask you this question; Would it not be more edifying to find ourselves in a house of prayer, returning thanks to God for all His goodness to us during this year? These are the times that are calling for serious men and women. Those who are Bible students will see, according to the signs of the times that the Son of God is at hand. How will you meet Him? Will you be reedy? God in His nobleness of heart gave the greatest gift to the world and that was in giving up His only Son for us, that we might be saved and have everlasting life. The greatest gift we can give in return is to offer ourselves to Jesus and see that the New Year finds us saved men and women.

Put the drippings into a small pan; add the onions; cook slowly until tender; add the tomatoes, salt and pepper; mix well with the rice and put on a platter and sprinkle with parsley. Two tablespoonful of green pepper may be added. One drop of glycerine added to merings will prevent the whites from falling, and make it stand up in a puff. Six ripe bananas; two cupful of shredded lutte; one-half cupful of french dressing. Skin and scrape the fiber from bananas; cut them into thin slices; place on lettuce and cover them with french dressing at once.

ORANG PUFFS One cupful of flour; two teaspoonsful of baking powder; one-half teaspoonful of salt; one-fourth cupful of sugar; one-half cupful of milk; one egg; one teaspoonful of butter; one orange; one teaspoonful of grated orange rind.

THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Of Manila-Philippine Islands Who has been spending a two years' vacation in our city, after twenty years' residence in the Orient. He has joined and helped every movement for the uplift of our group, originated the "War information Bureau" idea, adopted by the "Pacific Coast Cotton Manufacturing Co., Inc., the first of its kind established on the Pacific Coast. Capt. McKinney is developing a great industrial co-operation idea, of tremendous importance to our people, which he intends launching previous to his departure for the islands.

Others may come and others may go but the Soaring Eagle is with you always even unto the end, for 52 weeks in the year we are on the Watch Tower standing up for the people. Secretary Lansing has sent to the President and the latter has transmitted to the Senate the number of citizens of foreign lands other than Americans who have been killed in Mexico since the departure of President since the departure of President Chinese, 471; Spanish, 209; Arab, 11; British, 38; Italian, 16; French, 14; Japanese, 10; and miscellaneous, 5. Very good but why not also send thenames to the President of human beings who have been lynched, mobbed and burned in our own United States, so that with things in order at home we would be in a position togo to it in Mexico. APPRECIATION The California Eagle appreciates to the utmost the support tendered us by the people during theyear 1919; so much so that we shall strive to give you a real genuine "sure enough" newspaper. Through the perilous times through which we have passed we have striven to do our utmost to give you real newspaper service without increasing the cost to our subscribers for that reason we have not as yet advanced our prices and present you a full 8 to 16 pages each week of real news, nothing patent at all and we have never yet run a piece of plate matterin our columns. We carry a big Saturday night pay roll, which all members of our own group of citizenship enjoy. We have extended out Central Ave., the hum of the Linotype machine and its accessories, everything except the press work on this Journal is performed by this people. We have during the past year turned out an immense quantity of job printing and this department is being improved from time to time to meet the demands of a growing business. We appreciate the fact that we have great big men and women, who notice these efforts and who do not hesitate to on seeing and hearing to give their support, and in finally expressing our appreciation we can say after all its worth while to be counted among those who stand absolutely for the progress of all of the people, all of the time. JIM CROW GETS A NEW LEASE OF LIFE IN CALIFORMA According to a recent decision handed down by our State Supreme Court it seems as though the efforts of high-class land sharks to Jim Crow a large and loyal part of its citizenship here in California have succeeded, temporarily so, at least. This decision is to be regretted just at a time when the country is at unrest and when every possible consideration should be given to the true-blooded and loyal black Americans, here comes this Jim Crow decision. It seems as though it is not only the alien Japanese that are to be barred from holding and owning land wherever they have the money to buy, but the loyal and true black American as well. This decision it seems to us is in direct opposition to even the one gender by the democratic U.S. Supreme Court, which held that no law making body had the right to prohibit the ownership of property. But here the ```markdown ``` Court holds that the restriction clause prohibiting the right of black Americans to buy property in certain districts is sound and within the Law. We are however informed that the attorneys for the defendants in this action failed to file a brief and that the Supreme Court rendered this decision on briefs submitted by the Plaintiffs only; if this is true we believe that under the circumstances a rehearing if the proper effort is made will be granted, and it is now up to the people who are interested to see justice done to come to the front in these premises, for surely we do not want California to bask in the dark clouds of Jim Crow Laws: A NEW YEAR Beforethe appearance of our next issue one week hence, the year 1919 will have passed out and the New Year of 1920 will be ushered in. With its coming in we feel that itwould not be amiss to chropicle a few of our hopes and ambitions for the year 1920. First, We would be pleased to continue an optimistic hope for the future, "Patience" is the word, if we are patient and can stick it out until we have completely passed through the vestibule of civilization and effort, we will find out that our success will be sure and complete; another view of optimism is that we must not expect too much in 55 years. Secondly, with the optomism above mentioned we must just keep on and continue being producers on the largest possible scale, let every mother's son who can, get in the game of producing SOMETHING, the more we produce, greater results from all of our efforts on the upward trend will be apparent. Third. We would suggest a strong front along religious and moral lines, its a reflection on any race or people who would fail to practice what they preach, therefore for our preachers and leaders, see to it that they are men and women for whom we shall never be called upon to make apologies. If our brother would err forgive him, but let him go back to the sack cloth and ashes for giveness before he can again assume leadership, let this be our motto and watchword as well, if we would cease to be the laughing stock as well as stumbling blocks to the sinful and unwary. Let it be known that the day of the crooked preacher and the immoral leader is at an end, be men and women and if necessary speak right out for these principles. Fourth. Along Business lines strive to enter therein, stick to the people, play no favorite, but do you best to establish your your own particular business expect no quarter on the grounds of friendship but rather on merit and ultimately you will succeed in such business as that which you are adapted. Avoid too many irons in the fire at one time, rather make sure of one line of effort, than to try several lines and make failures in all of them. Fifth, Eschew prejudice. If you would scale the heights in the march of progress. Too often indeed is it apparent that the barriers in the way of continued progress is not the prejudice of the white man against the black man or of the black man against the white man, but it is that of the black man against the black man; petty jealousies rise up in the way of progress. Be thou not against the rise of any man be he black or white and truly this will be a better place in which to live with happiness prevailing in its fullness. Sixth. We look with the eye of an optimist on our future political welfare, for the reason of past experiences we can overcome the same conditions in the future, and with a united front along lines political we have an abiding faith that in no far distant future we shall surely come into our own. So along all the various lines of effort let us qualify to put faith the very best effort to put end that in the year 1920 this people might register a greater progress and indeed, qualify along every possible line of effort.

Deacon Henderson leaves today for Lower California, the Santa Clara Valley, where he has purchased land and aims to make his home in the country, where he has already lived two years. The Luncheon in his honor was given under the auspices of the Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the Second Baptist Church of which Rev. Charles Benjamin Dones is pastor and at the home of the twin sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Cook and Mrs. Georgia Cooper, who reside together at 319 East High Avenue. Mrs. Cook, assisted by her sister demonstrated her ability as chairlady of the Entertainment Committee, and from Mr. Howard Peters, the affair was indeed very unique. The Christians United Their Forces. The Baptist and Methodist held joint service last Sunday, in the great St. Paul A. M. E. Church on the corner of High Avenue and 6th Street. The Rev. Charles Benjamin Doneen, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, preached a great sermon at the eleven o'clock service, Subject: "The Hour is Gone," John 12:23; at 3 o'clock Rev. Goodwin of Riverside inspired his worshippers with a very lasting impress sion, as he preached from the subject "Hold up Jesus," and at eight o'clock again Rev. Dones preached from the subject, "Blessed are the Ears that Hear." Great inspiration was gained by hearing these sermons, it was Rally Day for the A. M. E. people and they raised Two Hundred and Eighty Dollars. The visiting ministers congratulated the members and friends upon their liberality ad also the Rev. Mr. Lockhart, upon his ability as a pastor and great leader. The Second Baptist Church, thru the Chairman of the Trustee Board, Mr. Howard Peters with very appropriate words, presented an envelope that contained Twenty_Five Dollars, which is evidence of the Relationship between the Baptist and Methodist in our city. Someone has agitated a merger or the two churches; Rev. Dones when presented with the rumor, declared that he thought it a very progressive idea, providing that the A. M.

It was a creditable program portraying unique local talent. The costumes were in keeping with the occasion and afterth orming and adopting rules by which to obtain husbands, Prof. Jack Spratt enterd with a most wonderful machine that turned out each old maid with a voice for singing or elocation, making others beautiful at their request; after telling their respective age they were cautioned to spak the truth with the penalty of being ground to pieces if they didn't; one of the old maids desirous of being made truthful could not speak the truth and was ground to pieces by the machine. After the program refreshments were served. Rev. H. B. Thomas migrated as far South as Carpentrear, one day last week and returned thesame day.

In the Music World This being our last article for the year 1919, we can't afford to let the New Year dawn without pausing the reflect upon the musical activities of the dying year. Statistics show that this has been the greatest year in music in the history of Los Angeles among our people. There have been twice the number of recitals and concerts which for the greater part, were well attended. There is an increase in the number of students who are studying earnestly. More money than ever has been spent for Pianos, Phonographs, Records and Sheet Music and the first race music store has been successfully launched. The musicians themselves have organized for the good of the art and the people and the city's leading manager has presented arage orchestra on the same basis as he presents the world's leading artists. The foregoing facts are wel worth the praise and admiration of older musical communities than this, and they should serve as a stimulus for still greater activities during the coming year. There is work for everyone to do along this line and since faith without works is dead, no true race man would dare let a month of the coming year pass by, without having patronized some form of race endeavor. In the case of the musician and music lover there are numerous concerts and recitals to be attended, some composition from the pen of a race composer should be bought, or, a record of some Negro artist could be purchased. Race teachers should be patronized and race periodicals should be read, especially those dealing with music. One would been intellectual pauper, laden who never reads a line about the doings of his race. Let us enter the year 1920 with the firm resolve to make it the greatest --- ```markdown ``` PHONE SOUTH 5348-R MRS.

Let us begin by doing something ourselves first, realizing that the chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and that a race is composed of individuals whose separate achievements, no matter how infinitesimal, are the constituents whose combined strength determine the intrinsic worth of said race.

If discharged less than three months, he need not make a formal application nor a statement of health. In either case, he will be required to pay only two months' premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated. One of the two premiums required to be paid covers the month of grace during which his insurance remained in force; the other premium is for the current month in which restatement becomes effective. Premiums for the months between are not required. A man whose insurance lapeed in January, 1919, and was reinstated in December, 1919, would pay only the January, 1919, premium (the month of grace, when he was protected) and the December or current premium.

NOW! is the time to take advantage of our mistakes for the past fifty years as a race of people, by proving to the world at large that we CAN and WILL cooperate the same as other groups are doing, and until we do learn to co-operate, we can never hope to be a power as a Race of people. Check or money-order should be made payable to the Treasurer of the United States and, with the application, sent to the Premium Receipt Section, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C. WE must begin investing our money in legitimate race enterprises of all kinds, and remember, that no matter what our shortcomings might be, it is up to us to work out our own destiny, and in doing so, we are going to make many mistakes. However, that should not discourage us, because, no people have ever accomplished anything who did not make mistakes. RECENT disturbances throughout the United States have "AT LAST" convinced us, that WE CANNOT and MUST NOT, depend upon other groups to help us. And after all, it will be better for us, because they have forced us to begin opening up businesses of our own, whereas, before we were satisfied with supporting theirs, not knowing at what moment they would close their doors against us, which they did without a moment's notice.
