California Eagle

Volumne Thirty-Five DR. E. C. NELSON SPECIAL IZES WITH MODERN X-RAY—HAS A WONDERFUL PRACTICE The heights to which the Eagle has soared has been made possible by the strong and hearty support which it has received from men and women in all walks of life, most particularly so of the support of the plain, common every-day people, the masses. At the beginning of Dr. Eugene Nelson's career as a practicing physician and surgeon in this city he said to us, "I appreciate your stand for the people and I want you to count me in as one of your supporters, for I am always with those who stand up for the people. He has rung true to form and we value his friendship and support to the utmost, and without solicitation or consultation we hesitate not to write these lines and to speak up for him at all times. We appreciate him for his application to his calling, where-by he seeks each day to become even more proficient, that he may qualify in the highest degree in his profession. He is one of our professional men who thinks well of his profession; there is no side issue with him; his ambition is to become as great and proficient in his profession as any other man can become in the profession of medicine and surgery. Makes Rapid Rise. We have noted his rapid rise and we have discerned that it has come by close and incessant exploration of the vast fields before him. He has graduated, post graduated; neither satisfied nor content, he searches for the last word in medicine, the last stroke in surgery. He, visualizes that if doctors there are and surgeons as well, why not be the best there is, and on this hypothesis he has gained for himself a place in the confidence of the people which puts him in the first rank of his profession. This sketch would be incomplete should we fail to mention the marvelous X-Ray machine which Doctor Nelson maintains and the great results which he has scored in his researches with this modern instrument. The machine proper is, of highest powered voltage and one of the largest ones in the West; it was installed some months ago and every accessory was installed with it; at the doctor's labatory it is possible to take an X-Ray of any part of the human body and develop the same in the space of fifteen minutes. The X-Ray has long since been acclaimed as one of the greatest, and now indispensable, instruments, which makes it possible for a correct and positive diagnosis of the ills of the human body. Dr. Nelson, keeping pace with modern progress, specializes with this feature of his profession, and indeed it has played no minor part in the marvelous success of this, leading physician and surgeon. It is gratifying Indeed to note the improving conditions, overnight so to speak, of the business status of the Race in general throughout the length and breadth of the country, at present as compared with those of a year ago. There has been a spontaneous outburst and clamor on the part of the Negro to accomplish something. Words have been supplanted by public. Public speaking and a wish to display outward ability is on the rise, and a desire to acquire thru a channels of business much that is not due us has become a fixed and stable part of the program of the firm. And especially no is this true of the new facility, where the casual observer has seen new business enterprises and industries or every legal description spring up within the rest. The insurance company has been a huge first-class garage recently equipped for service and all brick building has been completed. PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON ery has opened its doors. A bakery shop equipped with all the modern machinery for bread making as required today is an accomplished fact. A tire concern has decided to put the big B in business by purchasing a prominent corner in the Central avenue district. Then just to put the quietus on hard times, a well known Assemblyman has had the tenacity to not only take out a marriage license but actually use it. Hard time! Bah! says he. In politics the Race has demonstrated the fact that 5000 Negroes can be persuaded to vote one way in Los Angeles. A commendable fact in itself; an unheard of thing in the past. A large Negro building contractor employing over 50 brick masons steady, working exclusively on business properties. A ice cream factory making its dairy grounds on Broadway and Spring streets. A furniture factory turning out nigh grade household furniture. The Peters block, 9th and Central, representing a valuation of $60,000 or more, owned by an adopted native son, gained at the expense of Boley, Oklahoma. Yes, and "less we forget," a large grocery concern conducting a chain system of stores, a la carte Sam Sellig. meat, groceries, bakery and confectionaries; all under one roof. Yes, too; then a large auto concern wakes up to the fact that close on to six hundred Negros earn enough in business and various other vocations to own their own automobiles, so they get on the job and employ a Colored auto salesman. Their motto is: "If 600 must have autos, why, sell them the best, which is ours." These are just a few of the many new (something so different from the rest) things worthy of mention that have been born this year, representing financially perhaps $250,000 or more. Incidentally, we are still overstocked in barber shops, but not torsorial parlers; hash houses and cafes but not noteworthy bootcloth stands but not shoe shining parlers; cleaning and pressing businesses but not tailor shops; pool halls and gambling dens, but thanks to the Five C's, the sun is setting on the latter. Among our concerns worthy of favorable mention are the drug stores. The professional standing has improved and today Los Angeles can boast of having lawyers, doctors, dentists and school instructors the equal of any in the country. This brief inventory gives the Race lever so powerful in construction that with another year the Race, insofar as Los Angeles is concerned, will have gone a long way toward the solution of many local problems that heretofore words have failed to solve. I am optimistic as to our future, both nationally and locally, and with the above as a foundation with the N. A. A. C. P., the P. C. N. I. A., and the Five C's, fighting all forms of injustice in the future as in the past. with the Negro clergy showing an inclination to teach rather than to preach and with the Race awakened to the fact that they must do something in a constructive way for themselves. I say, in an apologetic tone for using this slang phrase, 'on with the dance.' THE BOY After some quick questioning I was taken to the city jail, where I remained over night. Of course this was a new and horrible experience. When questioned as to my age, I said I was 14 years old, the next morning those in authority of Sharon jail set me free once more. And again I had the great wide world as a playground. But then there was the severe realization that some time or other, during every 48 hours at least, I must eat and sleep. Immediately upon release I saliled forth to different sections of the city—always seeing what was goin on, and to my delight in the eastern section of the city all was action, for a great carnival was to be staged in the near future. After asking some questions and seeking some information I secured a job which consisted in some work about the "shooting gallery," where I earned $2.50. My work was satisfactory to the extent that I secured regular employment from those in charge during the duration of the carnival, which was one week. At the close of the carnival, which was Saturday night, all hands were on the job tearing down the shack which housed the effects of this, one of Sharon's greatest affairs of the season. Now Sharon is one of those busfilling commercial centers next door to the smoaky but great city of Pittsburgh, Pa. One needs no special inducement to move on. Now even though this was one of those terrible stormy nights—the order to move on had gone through our ranks. Even though I had been employed for that one week during the company's stay at Sharon, when the car carrying the necessary and other personalities left Sunday morning at the early hour of 1 a.m., I had been told to be out overwhelming others to help the crowd that evening. ments I had tucked myself singly away in the "possumbelly" of one of the coaches, with a three hundred and ninety mile jump ahead of me, and now, even though water from some source had seeped into my bed beneath. I was neither disturbed nor dismayed but determined to go on, and on I went until the morning light broke upon Urbana, Ohio, and even though I remained quiet in my damp bed I soon learned that this was the carnival's next stop, and it did not take long for me to decide that it was also my next stop. Truly, it was somewhat of a surprise for those who thought they had left me at Sharon to find me "ready" at Urbana almost the instant they were there. I don't know now whether it was push and pluck or audacity which they admired, but I do know that they again gave me the job I had held at Sharon, and for four days I was again all action. During this four days' stay at Urbana greater excitement than we had heretofore experienced prevailed. Urbana is in the southern part of Ohio, and next door to West Virginia, hence Race prejudice makes itself keenly felt at all times. J. L. ARNOLI When it comes to putting over the cafe business, one must need go, a long way before they will meet anybody who will surpass the doughy and resourceful J. L. Arnold, who has proven himself a "king pin" in this avenue of business effort. It was Arnold who came on Central avenue and conducted a cafe business which was patronized on a large scale, where business was established in a large way. After his business on Central near 11th reached its zenith and Arnold had demonstrated how this business could be conducted on a large scale, he retired, but the demand was so insistent that he returned and has opened a new business right opposite where his former location was and is doing a capacity business. Modern and up-to-date is Arnold, though in smaller than his usual quarters, he gives service second to none in the city and all are congratulating him on his coming back and according to him a most hearty support. JUDGE L. W. SIDMERFIELD JUDGE J. W. SUMMERFIELD. At the last general election, Judge J. W. Summerfield was elevated to the Judgeship of the Superior Court by one of the largest votes ever given to any person for that position. This was indeed a deserved recognition for a man who in all of his career has been the personification of all that the word justice implies. He has literally built his own road to success, and step by step has rounded out a career thus far which has been fraught with honor and the highest credit not only to himself but to the people whom he has so faithfully served. He gained an enviable record as Justice of the lower court, and since his occupancy of a place on the Superior bench he is serving with signal ability and deals out evenhanded justice to all litigants who come before him. The Eagle recognizes the Judge Summerfeld a man who is truly of and for the people and any man, no matter how humble he may be will always receive at the hand the aid of alteration which he deserves. We look for this just Judge to return out a long and useful career as a part of the foremost jurists of the great THE HONORABLE GRIFFITH JONES C We were very sorry that it was necessary for us to postpone the conclusion of a very interesting, as well as entertaining, trip we made to the northern part of the State last September, which we promised many of our friends in that section. it is with no small dergee ofter, and 'we wish to state that from the geneology of Geo. W. Dennis, whose life was brim full of (doing things) sprung many useful branches and from among them we chose this young blossom, which has passed on to the other side. Marguerite Louise, the second daughter of Mlnnle Louise and Alfred Driver Benson, Mrs. Benson and the granddaughter of George W. Dennis on her mother's side; Mr. and Mrs. Benson are both natives of San Francisco, Cal., and we say it now, while she still lives, Minnie Benson is one of the intellectual touches that leads the way to the literary shrine of that great northern city, San Francisco. But Marguerite was all her mother was and hoped to be. She was neither grown nor out of school when she realized that there was much to be done; and she did not ask to go to foreign fields to be of service, but one bright morning when youth's bright torch beamed in her eyes she looked out of her parents' back door on greater San Francisco and said there is work, do; with this as her slogan she went forth scattering cheer in the mean hovels of the lonely; lending her support in political issues that were destined to do good for the people, never forgetting that the church was the great highway by which men hoped to make it into heaven. And so it was that Marguerite Benton Evans, for while she was but a child, she became a wife and mother, and when her short but active chapter closed she bequeathed to her devoted husband and parents three beautiful children, who at this time are the joy of their grand parents. THE HONORABLE Those who heard Griffith Jones speak at the Douglas Temple a few Sundays ago cannot doubt for one moment but that he is a true friend of the Colored people. The Editors of this paper knew Mr. Jones when he first commenced in the practice of law in this city many years ago, and have watched with interest the immense growth of his practice. He is now an attorney for the National Chiropractors' Association, which has a membership of over twelve thousand, and he will be remembered as having represented the Record in the biggest libel suits that were ever filed in the city of Los Angeles. Mr. Jones has made several addresses to the Colored people of this city and in every address has consistently stated that he is not, and does HON. GRIFFITH not intend to become, a candidate to office. For the reason, the sincerity of his remarks cannot be questioned, and he has always urged the Colored people of this community to trade and do business with the Colored business man and to support their own people in movements of a community and civil nature. We have heard Mr. Jones say upon many occasions that the Colored monarch of the California bar hays at all times maintained the dignity of the local generation and that some of the local generation and that some of the local generation in the Colored community have been involved in the business. So timely was the obituary, autobiography of this character, we are here printing it for the cation of others. MARGUERITE BENSTON EVANS Obituary and Autobiography. Two sturdy oaks grew side by side out in the West. The gentle ivy came to twine its tender tendrils about their branches. Thirty-one years this vine clung on. Soft breezes of progress and growth swayed this young vine and stronger winds of achievements successfully attained, but to wrap its stronger stem of affection about this tender plant and as the years rolled on three birds came to make their home under the branches of the oak and blossom among the leaves of the ivy. Maruerite Louise Benton-Evans, the lovely, talented and sincere daughter of the Alfred. Beustons, is gone. A flower from out of the Garden of Life and in the full bloom of womanhood has passed. Gone! Westward! Thou art gone. The abyss of heaven has swallowed up thy form. Yet deeply on my heart is sunken, the lesson thou has given me. In the first spring months of 1888, bringing more joy than all the birds GRIFFITH JONES believes that every litigant of our Race should retain a lawyer of the same race if at all possible Mr. Jones is not only known as an attorney but also as a public speaker, and within the past few months had five meetings in the Spreckles Theater at San Diego, fifteen hundred to three thousand being turned away at every meeting, unable to secure seats. Upon the last occasion, the San Diego Union published a statement of the manager of Spreckles Theater to the effect that Mr. Jones attracted bigger crowds than any Presidential candidate who had ever visited that city. Mr. Jones was then speaking under the auspices of the National Chiropractors' Association. In his speech in the Douglas Temple he referred to the friendship that had existed between himself and the JONES. Editor of this paper, several years ago and also urged the Colored citizens to discredit those so called newspapers, which always start before an election and always terminate immediately afterwards. He stated "that these kind of papers were printed for the purpose of getting graft money from candidates for office and discredited the Colored people as a whole because the deception of such papers was immediately recognized by the white people as soon as the election was over." He emphasized the fact that he did not rule in the white papers which appeared in the newspapers after the election. and flowers of the season, came Marguerite Louise, to become the loving and faithful daughter of Miss Louise and Alfred Driver Bennett, and dearly loved sister of Alfred Carlisle, the eldest, and Bottle Gladys and Harold France, who followed after. This lovely girl, with her fashing and vivacious charm, gang, danced and played herself into the affections of all who came within in her radius. At the age of 17 she was graduated from the Commercial High School, now known as the High School of Commerce, with extraordinary honors. Then followed a period of six months' training in a business college. Always endeavoring to be among those of energetic effort and inevitable success, she won her place and even today the record is holding good in the memory of her former teachers; a new of whom are now the tutors of her brilliant son. tutors of her brilliant young son. Love came to Margarite early, no in 1908, this more glip of a girl became the wife of Robert Lee Evans. During her voyage of thirteen years upon the maritime sea, three jolly and adorable children came to play and grow beside this young mother. They are Robert, Jr. aged 11; Carroll Franklin, 4 years, and Stanley R., 4 years old. While the early life of being in his country's service base, the husband and father of this little group from them for indestructible persons, still the fire of faithful love burned on; and that unseen Power which causes all things to be made it possible that in the days and weeks and months when splendid strength and encouragement were most needed, he was ever present and has never laxed in his tender care and vigilant service. Oh, mother and father, what can be said that ever cover the vast chasm of grief in their hearts. Faithful, hopeful, encouraging to the unexpected end, we know the words which will be spoken to them in the great final, only too well. "Well done, thou good and faithful servants." "Thus ever it is in this world of ours That the brightest light will fail; There's a fear in the eye and an aching heart. When we come to the end of the trail." Father, mother, brother, sister, aunt and uncles, for the moments now so swiftly passing, heartbroken, "Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." Look not backward on your sorrow, but looking forward, see the tomorrow, Margarite has just passed on and watches unseen, to see you mould her three most precious treasures, and how your gifts. Bobby, with his alert young brain, attent for knowledge; Carrol of the young mother heart, and Stanley with his baby chatter, must recall from your memories, sorrow and the aches of your heart. Look to the life just passed this 22nd day of February, 1921. Who can say that it has not played its part in the better things of existence. Always ready and willing to stand tall and has now answered the greatest summons of all. Friends, all of you, as from the four ways you come, with your floral offerings or respect, your words of affectionate sympathy and your resolutions, Marguerite is still with you in the spirit as one in the flesh. Cherish the memory of the splendidness of her sincerity and let it be an inspiration to you in the new efforts that you will enter, as time passes. She wore herself out in service and has gone to her reward; surely you would not recall her. "There is a Power whose care teaches Thy way along the pathless coast. The desert and the illimitable air, Lone wandering, but not lost." Your loss is her gain; and now, it is only au revoir, and not goodi bye. M. MARGARIA PARKER Feb. 22, 1921. VISIT TO STOCKTON At the close of our two weeks stay at San Francisco we went by steamer to Stockton where we spent a very pleasant as well as profitable five days as house guest of Mrs. Ashford where we had the very great pleasure of meeting our good little friend Miss Alberta Deavers who was very kind in taking us around and introducing us to the Rev. Donoho at whose church we later spoke to a large and appreciative audience. But we were soly grieved to find that our group was lagging in the rear in the line of effort that minda for pribrig in this beautiful little city, and we did not, while there and cannot more hostage to lift our voice against our conditions in this city. It is a very common sight to sit on the stoop in what is known as the respectable station and showy vantage so it is carried on by most of the race while women of the race represent the slaves.

Waco, Tex. This person left Stockton with the understanding, that he was going on a vacation with his wife. He returned nor he be made any money to return the borrowed money. Hence the descors of the Second Baptist church of Stockton California asked that this picture be published in The California Eagle in order that other churches may escape being victimized through this medium. Visit To Marysville. Our next stop was beautiful little Marysville where we were royally entertained by Mr. Geo. Wilhelm and daughter and Mr. and Mrs. John Bagby, and shown sight seeing courtesies by Mr. and Mrs. Williams. We had, the privilege of meeting and addressing the Marysville N. A. C. P. and we were not only impressed with the work of the organization of this section, but likewise charmed with the people generally. The Smith ranch is one of the most wonderfully equipped in the whole state of California. This large蓄 age is dotted with the last whine in machinery. So what is this ranch and its new durful in equipment that it is lea- gible for us to feature it at this we desire but we shall run out of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and the that wonderful hog that took flair poke at the County fair in a later edition. A: Sacramento. While we had made a short stop over in Sacramento in 1913 the grandeur of the Capital City had not been seen or appreciated until last September. Sacramento being the last lap of our vacation journey we were eager to drink in, to the fullest extent all that might be of interest to our selves and readers. On Wednesday morning Sept 22 when we landed we were met at the station by Mrs. Laura O'Reilly and the Rev. Fred A. Hughes. Mrs. O' Reilly was equipped with her big car driven by her son Random who conveyed us first of all to the Cap- itol Building where we were our friend the Hon Jacob Scribner who took us over the Capitol pointing out various places of interest. We were certainly pleased to know that Assemblyman P. M. Roberts of the 74th Assembly District had made a lasting impression at the Capital. We went into the Assembly and spent some little time looking over things, and especially were we interested to know that he as Assemblyman had elevated the Race in the estimation of those of the other race with whom he came in contact.

Bad as they undoubtedly are, they are primarily the expression of a thoroughly healthy social instinct, an instinct which if properly guided may become one of the best forces in a boys life. I would not quite call these boys a gang, before they were organized, but they did meet in the streets of the neighborhood most every night and they did laugh and talk and yell and sing, and somewhat disturbed the neighborhood peace of mind, but now since organized into a community Club they have already became more dignified, more self possessed, more manly. We have organized two Clubs, one consists of young men; and the other of boys. The Young Men's Club was organized at my home by Mrs. Davis September 9. They call themselves The Clover Leaf Club. They meet every Monday night at the different members' homes. Their Club colors are purple and white. Foot ball is their athletic game. The Boys' Club was organized Nov. 14 at my home. They call themselves The Beginners' Club. They meet every Tuesday night at the different members' homes. Indoor ball is their athletic game. they both challenge other teams and play to be the victors. We are hoping to have a Club House soon, because we are anxious to take 'W' Temple St. Community one of the best recreational centers for boys in the city. The Clover Leaf Club gave a party last month and we had a wonderful time! The Beginners Club will have a Xmas tree and party Dec. 27, and of course we are contemplating a time. I brought some, of my boys along with me. I will introduce Mr. Peter Thompson, president of the Clover Leaf Club, and Master Tim Center, president of the Beginners Club, Respectfully, MARY E. REED, Superior. HOLLY-PENN. On Tuesday evening, Dec. 20th, at the Sojourner Truth Home, was the scene of the most beautiful wedding of the season, that of Miss Rena Holly of Portland, Ore., and Mr. William Penn of U. S. Ship Pennsylvania. The bride was given away by the matron of the Home, Mrs. S. E. Hancock. The presents were numerous and handsome. The wedding strains were played by Miss Fay Bynum, and two charming solos were rendered by Miss M. B. Fortiere. The couple will be at home to their friends after an extended trip back East. Many showers of rice were tendered upon them by the girls of the Home. IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC. (By John A. Gray.) As we near the end of the year we are reminded to look back over the months and days that have passed and that will never come again. We wonder how many of our youths have taken advantage of the golden opportunities that have slipped past them. We are concerned principally of course with those who have shown signs of musical development, although other lines of endeavor are of interest also. How many can say with pride that they are a few steps farther up the road of artistic training? How many can truthfully say that they have gained in knowledge during the passing of the present year? We are pleased to note, however, that the young folks are realizing that hard study and more hard study is required for the development of their talent. Even the public is being educated to note the difference between a trained and untrained performer and that a good sign. It is becoming harder and harder for the untrained performer to win applause and this alone will force development. The coming year will show forth a brilliant array of budding talent and we urge the public to be quick to encourage and appreciate them. We would have the proper recognition given the true and the proper criticism given the false. Underserved praise does not help but hinders, and unmerited condemnation does not encourage the youthful aspirants. Let us near the good, bad and indifferent. We shall then be able to intelligently appraise the worth of each student and we can then really help him on. Wishing our many friends and readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, we beg in closing. Note more sympathetic attitude toward our things artistic.

Few men that you meet, regardless of the expensity in which you meet them, leave the impression of their immediate contact with the master that is left by W. A. Brown. It matters not what the circumstances or condition, the shortest interview with the apparent of the teachings of the Nazarine will convince one that he is truly walking in His footsteps. In this age of doubt and despair, unrest and turmoil, the question is often asked, "what is the matter with the world?" "Why this discord and confusion?" The answer is found in the statement, "we are falling to observe the Golden Rule." But in Brown we find all that is containing in these blessed words of our Lord and Master, "as ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them." The humblest citizen, regardless of his color or condition finds in W. A. Brown a daily example of the observance of the teachings of the Master. Give us more Brown. May his tribe increase and racial bickering and misunderstandings will cease. W. C. MUSHET.

Thus far California has kept its place in the forward march of civilization—and at this time, the close of another busy year, we are wont to check up as to our achievements as a group. As we look over the record we find nothing of greater value as a literary contribution than The Negro Trail Blazer," by Miss Deleah Beasley. This volume, consisting of 250 pages beautifully bound, deals with the present and past history of the Negro in California. It has been more than a year since The Negro Trail Blazer was first published; but the true merit of the volume is just beginning to make itself felt, and the effort of the author, Miss Beasley, is just beginning to be appreciated by not only the Negro population but by the people who think, feel and hope always Not only is The Trail Blazer occupying a place on the library shelves of private homes but likewise in the public libraries, public schools, and in fact all public institutions of the State. And we do well to see the merit not alone in the production but likewise in the author, who suffered and sacrificed much in order that she might give a struggling group what it so well merits in the way of historic recognition.

Co. to make an automatic water heater that would be less complicated than any other waterv heater ```markdown ``` on the market, and received the same or better results. For the majority of automatic water heaters have from 10 to 20 parts. Mr. Westerfield believed it possible to make this heater, so he did not stop to question his belief, neither did he ask any one's advice, but held fast to his idea and simply went to work. Laboring each day for his livelihood and working each night to develop his idea, after one year's ceaseless effort Mr. Westerfield succeeded in perfecting an automatic water heater with only two moving parts. He succeeded in doing what all the white inventors with their financial backing had failed to do. After put- GREEN FRONT GROCERY Wholesale and Retail Groceries Phone Pico 4298, 950 S. San .....

In Jan., 1921, he applied for patients at Washington, D. C., which he received later. Was his battles over? No. It had just begun for Mr. Westerfield was determined that the public should know about his invention, so after one year and eight months of hard labor, self denial, and patience, Mr. Westerfield is now located at 1520 E. 9th street, where he is manufacturing the Westerfield Thermatic Water Heater. The Westerfield Johnson Mfg. Co. is the only concern of its kind where the patents are owned and manufactured by a Negro. Think of the comfort a constant supply of real hot water would mean to you and to all members of your household. The Westerfield Thermomatic Water Heater maintains a full tank of hot water always at your service, with only two moving parts. No reacting valves, depending on water pressure for their operation. Water pressure for their operation. Fewer parts than any other heater on the market of this type. Long copper coil heating surface, the most efficient; no condensation; no stuffing boxes. Storage tank has the true Thermos bottle insulating construction, as bottom of tank is not exposed to outside air temperature when burner is shut off. No fire through the center of storage tank to draw cold air when burner is shut off, thereby cooling water in tank. Only four inch vent. Mr. Westerfield has several other inventions that he will manufacture in the near future. If we appreciate such a genius as this, let us encourage him by buying a Westfield Thermatic Water Heater. Mr. Westfield will be glad to show you this heater any time you may stop in at the office and factory, 1520 E. 5th street.

Now that all the choices and laborious jobs have been passed out, may some of the sons and daughters of you can be persuaded to miss one of the Monday night foot races and get acquainted with the Fed's meeting house, where Miriam Carrott, the new vice-president, and several representatives of the Blue Triangle Club will take active part in the 7-hole Golf Course for Club House at Hilsworth. A 7-hole golf link has now been added to the already flowery offer made to the tennis fraternity by the Lake Elsinore land magnates and resort promoters, which is indeed worth consideration, as this is an entirely new venture for the Race in the West.

Three lightening like double plays shattered the performance as also did the speed and pep injected into the scrimmage by umpire Bob Knolson who hustles the players on and into the yard with much ginger, all to the lifting of the fans, who dreaded to see the boys loafing along as though performing pall bearer service.

FILLI MISKS: PROVOKES MUCH SHEFFERING IN SPORTDON; WOULD ENGINE DEMPSY A- GAIN; WILLS TABOOED TABOOED Every few days some brilliant luminary of the padded mitt world compels the followers of the game to grip their sled with mirth and laughter at a mental outburst of wisdom; the legend joke artist of reknown in the St. Paul heavyweight battler, William Mike, who startles the pugilistic fervor with a load yell of "task Bremenyltice", although Bilhay has stepped punches with his Jackship a couple of times without a victory or even so much knock down to his spike, but was himself hammered into an innocence in three spasms Labor Day, 1920, at Benton Harbor, Mills. Bill lays his latest claim because of the fact that he, recently drew, a fine decision over Bill Bremen in his Paul in 19 rounds. Mr. Mills doesn't consider worth notice unless the item as that Dempsey flattened the same Brennan in 12 seminars over ago in New York. What does he have wins? Might we forget the query of what's the difficulty with taking a couple of slams at dark ashened but game hearted and hearty opponents? Dempsey opponents are so hard to shorthigh? There is no need of bally hooping about who should meet Jack next, every sporting writer and fan in the country knows that Wills is the logical contender for the heavyweight crown, and just so long as Wills mammoth form looms on the horizon of Dempsey's world championship claim, just that long does a flaw of doubt remain in the mind of right thinking sportmen as to just who is the "real" champion. Dempsey and Wills Must Fight. Dempsey and Wills Must Fight. That Jack and Harry must scrap it out is the verdict of every fan who after all really pays the freight so that the game can exist. While all the humming and hawing; all this stalling the clamoring fans with such got as Fulton, Brennan, Miske and good little man Carpentier and the like? Why haven't these two birds caged together long Timid Commissioners and Promoters Timid boxing officials and shy promoters whisper that the game wight be killed by such a catastrophe as a Wills-Dempsey battle royal, of which we aver that a game in which honest and mainly competition cannot prevail successfully is totally un-American and has no right to exist. If a Colored man battles his way to the top among his own Race he is then on the equal footing with a man of the white race who does likewise, then there is but one way to determine world supremacy, and that is for the beat in the world to duel until one remains on foot—again we chirrup that Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey must soower or later test for the world's heavyweight championship. $100,000 Offered for Match. The first real attempt to settle the dispute of who is the champion was launched last Tuesday when Jack Kanner a Denver promoter sent Jack Dempsey, who is before the footlights in San Francisco, and Harry Wills in New York, an offer of a purse of $100,000 for a July 4 battle for the world's heavyweight championship. Now that the public is all hot up over the prospects of a Wills-Dempsey clash, nothing can stop it, even if it has to be pitched in Mexico or Cuba.

CHRISTIAN, Jr., (Adv.) THE FORUM CURRENT Just a sweet faced, fair skinned, blue-eyed, cute acting, dapper little lady is Mrs. Partie Theresa Pitts, the capable pianist and bright clear voiced reader of current toques of the Forum, the great clearing house for the best thoughts of the black peoples of Los Angeles and the adjacent towns. This captivating little Ethiopian woman, with the Caucasian type of face and figure, but the ever-true heart beating uncompromisingly pure and loyal for her persecuted people, can best be described in this unchallenged sentence. The form is quite white, but the ideals are "all black." It is but fair justice to describe Mrs. Pitts as perhaps one of the most clear toned public readers, if not the very best reader, the Forum organization could have chosen, as she speaks with a wel pitched sympathetic most appealing voice, rounds out her sentences clear and well and never mutilates nor chops up her words, nor Mrs. Partie Theresa Pitts; a Young Woman of Good Grace and Ability. does she fail to put, the proper emphasis upon the ever appearing climaxes of her themes for reading. As Mrs. Pitts speaks before her beloved Negro peoples she seems to be, body and soul, diffused among them and her own cunning person seems to, vanish entirely as if disappearing within the heartaches of her affected suffering people. She looks at once —this open contradiction of a fully white body and a fully Etheopian mind—as if she were both a white redeemer and a black accuser in her own same-self, or redeemer in the process of amalgamation for her downtrodden Race and an accuser of the Caucasians for their formerly unopposed physical, mental and sexual rulership over her Race. She never fails to win her audience with that sweetly quivering heartfelt skillful, modulated voice of hers and recently she performed the remarkable feat of reading for fully an hour and ten minutes the entire texts of Louis Michel's caustic reply letter to President Harding's most imperfect Race solution speech, as made in Birmingham, Alabama. Mrs. Partie Theresa Pitts is very happily married to Mr. John Verisco Pitts, a practical blacksmith and welder, and since eight years of very conscientious wedlock they have shared many joys, and very little sor EASTSIDE FRANKERIZED MAKES IT A WONDERFUL DRINK GEO. B. CHRISTIAN, Jr. Secretary to the President. rows, nicely together. They knew each other since early childhood and her husband is ever attentive to her every slightest want and comfort. It is a pleasure to hear from the Stranger. Dr. Eason was a recent visitor in the city. He came in the interest of the U. N. I. A. He delivered a strong lecture to a large gathering. Mrs. S. Leroy Williamson made a flying business trip to Pasadena last week. Rev. J. P. Littles, who has been in Blythe for a little over a year, pastoring the Baptist church there, has returned home. He turned the pastorate over to Rev. Mr. Roberson. Mr. Howard B. Williamson made a flying visit to his parents, Rev. and Mrs. H. H. Williamson, last week. Mr. Middlebrook met with a painful though not serious accident last week when Mr. J. H. Dumas' car in which he was riding ran into a telephone pole. The car was somewhat damaged. Mr. Webb, a young man and an auto mechanic, will open a repair shop on Sedgewick street in the near future. It was some rain from Saturday to Monday, and everybody is happy over the downpour. Well, this is Xmas week. Will Old Santa visit you? Mrs. H. H. Williamson is still suffering from the effects of la gripe. Mr. Miller made a business trip to Los Angeles Saturday last Rev. W. H. Rozier will visit Park Ave. Baptist church Sunday, it being his first regular day. The A. M. E. church held a sacred concert Sunday evening. A good program was rendered. The rain interfered with church attendance Sunday, but all the churches will hold Christmas services Sunday, while Xmas trees and exercises will take place Saturday night preceding. The Hon. J. W. H. Eason, American leader of the U. N. I. A., was a visitor here Dec. 13th in the interest of the Garvey organization and lectured at the Mercantile Hall. There was quite a large gathering and the lecture was well received. Mr. Eason is a good speaker and he ably presented the claims of the movement. We are not informed, however, how many, if any, converts were made for the order. Rev. J. D. Gordon, late vice-president general of the U. N. I. A. having resigned and left the labor organization, is now a member of the Blood Boosters, whatever that is, or whatever it stands for. By the way, is it not wonderful how many movements the great Garvey has started in less than two years? The A. M. E. church held a concert Monday night at the Settlement House. Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Lester of Santa Ana will visit Mrs. Lester's parents, Rev. and Mrs. H. H. Williamson, Saturday and remain ever Xmas. Mrs. H. H. Williamson is still laid up with her gripe, but she is slowly improving. Mr. G. B. Bond and Mr. John Alves have each bought an automobile; also Mr. Hall Alves. There are not many families of our people in the city who do not boast an auto. Another thing must be considered, and that is our people are branching out into the business world, which we shall not regret at a future date. Well, up to this writing we have had almost 48 hours of rain, which has sent joy all through the South- land. Glory be. HOLIDAY HOME ECONOMICS. In the seven of choice lands and dainty enriches, the student housewife will do well to stake her fortune in a valued home product, the Violet Brand of Shortening, an article that is the standard of excellence and economy.

And this to enlisten to the unwise, article further said that on final ballot Thompson received 66 votes to 90 for his opponent. Now what we would like to know is, what became of the rest of the reported delegation of 60,000 persons? Were they all asleep when this particular contest was going on? The Eagle must, give full credit to our good friend, A. R. Smith, who edits and publishes the Phoenix Tribune, which paper to our mind is one of the best Race journals published. Clean and faultless in make up and arrangement of matter, a first-class line of advertising and a booster for real progress. Petty, selfish and narrow journalism has no space in this clean cut journal. The holiday number recently issued was a gem which would do credit to any journal published anywhere. It is said by many that the Christmas spirit is not in evidence for this year as it has been in the past. We are charitable enough to believe that all Christmas days will come forth in their fullness of Peace and Good Will. In the Kennedy murder case now being tried, the defense has two out of which is the time worn insanity dodge. The defense has its trap set to catch them both "gwyne and Coming." Appreciate everybody's sincere friendship is our "motto"; save and except the friendship of crooks and degenerates; those we pity, that's all. Do not attempt to scale the heights of success by pulling your Brother or Sister down, because if you succeed in your mission of pulling your adversary down, you will fall beath him in the fall. OUR HOLIDAY NUMBER. In keeping with our custom, we come forth this issue with our pages filled with matter and advertisement keeping with the season. Eagle readers all look forward to the coming out of our Special Holiday Number, appreciating the fact that it is collected, set up and published in its entirety by members of the Race. The Eagle in turn appreciates more than we can say, the continued support of our efforts to serve them. We have long since decided on a sacrifice to do so, and every thought and every act of ours is for the salvation and uplift of the Race with which our destiny is linked forever. CHRISTMAS. The day of all days is at hand and we come forth on that day with the real Christmas spirit of Peace on Earth and Good Will to Mank. We would that all persons could in their hearts catch and keep the spirit of Christmas this being true we would in good have love and happiness around. In this situation all people should will together for a common purpose, a common brotherhood and a common service and an uplift. will to show all false pretenses, hynchrisy, and deceit. They will with love and good cheer lie up to the lessons taught by the master of the world for His love and goodness, endureth DEBS RELEASED. This will without doubt be a Merry Christmas for Eugene Debs the great head of Socialism in America, who has been incarcerated in prison over a short war time for having the tendency to speak what was on his mind. In objection Mr. Debs, President Reading but executes the will of the overwhelming sentiment of the people, most of whom think that he should never have been imprisoned. However he spoke in time of war and the laws were such that there was possibly no alternative. Mr. Debs is the old warrior, stands tall all times for humility and the man farther than any man has had in him a character and a friend. We are that Christmas brings such joy this great character and in expressing our pleasure, we feel that we speak in unison with fifteen million Colored Americans who recognize the greatness of Eugene Debs. PASSING OF GOVERNOR PINCHBACK. The announcement of the death of Ex-Gov. Pinchback of Louisiana removes from among us the most prominent reconstruction character. Governor Pinchback was Lieutenant-Governor during the Warmath regime in Louisiana and became quite prominent in Republican party circles in subsequent years. No man of the Race bore with more dignity the honor and respect which his high character and worth won for him than Gov. Pinchback. In the demise of Gov. Pinchback the Race loses an able leader, the party a most loyal follower and the nation a most ardent patriot. A RARE TREAT in is store for all who attend the Benefit Thursday evening, Dec. 19, at Blanchard Hall. It is not worthy that a number of ladies should at this time conceive of a different way to spread Christmas cheer and decide to unite their efforts to assist Mrs. Morrison's Orphanage; and at the same time affords a evening of entertainment to holiday pleasure seekers. The public must be entertained, so why not enjoy an evening and by so doing help a worthy institution. Mrs. Lauretta Batter in directin the program, which in its self guarantee2 success. It's a snappy proraming—all the latest song hits, new faces, the Security Quartette and twelve jazzy youngsters in the Dance-O-Mania. It's a rare treat that you cannot afford to miss.
