Happy New Year To One And All THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE A Great Cantata: "The Christ Child" Everyone Reserve the Date of that Historic Play: "A Tale of Old Japan." PHONE 150-44 VOL. 36 BY: LOUIS MICHEL On Christmas morning at 5 o'clock there gathered at the 1st A. M. E. church, st. and Towne Ave. a large and zealous audience, record breaking in numbers and sublime in magnificent bearing, and this audience came to witness the first rendition in this city of the Cantata, "The Christ Child." The guiding genius of this successful and most impressive presentation was Professor Elmer C. Bartlett, who had prepared his well chosen choir members for many weeks for this notable performance and who proved once more his splendid abilities as a conquering director who fully understands the trying art to make creditably performing people out of struggling, hardly known and even crude material. To manage so large a choir, to prompt the participants into a splendid and most lasting discipline, to earn their good will, their effective cooperation, their unharmed best capacities without being an exacting boss or an exclusive paradising "superior" tyrant, is indeed a grand work accomplished through the good tact, the victorious capacity and the fine, nonostentatious fellowship of this Plebian director and man of the people. Director Elmer C. Bartlett. The story of the Christ Child is the great, old dramatic truth of real greatness humbly born, of wondrous ability obscured and handicapped by extreme poverty, by cruel persecution by heartless tyranny that always moves against the ringing truth, the kindly heart, the noble mind. The writer as a non-compromising Jew admires Christ, since Christ had a Jewish parentage and is agonized even by the Henry Ford stripe of pretending Christians that are, we are sorry to state the most unprincipled Jew-baiters in this country. The message of Christ was a great and a world-stirring one, a good deal like the message of Moses, like the message of Joseph, the son of Jacob, like the message of Eugene Debs. Only in this spirit does this writer accept Jesus Christ, as a Jew who aimed to make this world a better and a juster place to be in, but we have never and could never accept him as the God himself, as a deity that we must worship with bended knees, with folded hands and with the idea that a flesh was any different from our own, excepting that it may have sustained a purer, a wiser and thus a nobler spirit. In this broad and humane sense do we gleefully accept "The Christ Child" and call the production a most inspiring and thrilling one, for the betterment of all mankind, for a return of the Christians to the simple life and honest teachings of Christ and for the Jews to be proud to have given to the whole world a genuine limb of the old Jewish stock that is the most imperishable stock of humanity on earth with the probable exception of the Negroes. Indeed "The Christ Child" proves to the world the heavy and unpaid obligation all humanity owes to the Jews for having produced Christ, who was raised, but not killed by them, for true history reveals the indisputable fact that Christ was martyred and murdered by Roman pagans and Roman moneymongers. We congratulate Professor Bartlett and his numerous and well-disciplined Choir heartily and proudly upon this effective dramatic lyrical and historical Poem presentation of the coming of Christ and we confess gladly, without being less of a Jew than we are, that this masterful rendition by amateurs, under the superb guidance of director Bartlett thrilled us deeply and for all the time. How splendidly was gold egotism brushed aside and only the spiritual purity of the humane soul revealed! How kindly these Ethiopian singers exalted Christ, the Jew, and proved by their wondrous sincerity and by their dramatic attitudes and their dusky skins that they (the Negroes) would not forget the very Jew (Christ) who has been forgotten by most of the living Christians of this age all over the globe. Truly, this great performance was worthy of the little trouble to rise at 3:30 in the morning and manage to be at Rev. A. M. Ward's church promptly at 5 A. M. to be a happy participant of these joyous manifestations of Christ's advent. The six notable and outstanding stellar points of a fair and honest criticism must revolve in these facts: 1. Director Elmer C. Hartlett's grand and flawless mass direction of the entire choir and cast. 2. Mrs. Pearl Roberts' magnificent handling of the organ, producing melow and heart melting sounds of exquisite sweetness. 3. Madame Florence Cole-Talbert's wondrous rendition of the sacred classic "Ave Maria," again emitting these non pareil lyrical notes of tendenst sweetness that are bound to earn for her the sobriquet "The sweetest nishtingale of the Ethiopian singers!" Her violin accompanist, Atwell Rose, too, was a decided feature. 4. Mr. E. Hall's famous, naturally pure basso voice. 5. The realistic biblical impersonifications of King Herod, Virgin Mary, Joseph, the wise men, the reader, the priests, the scribes, and all the rest of the spectacular personnel needed for the true portrayal of the historical event. 6. The splendid efforts of the entire choir, consisting of these loyal men and women: Mesdames Emma Smith, R. Howard, Rose Boswell, city Hamilton, Greene, Duncan, Balch, McCoy, Prather, Mallory, Allen, Mac Williams, Daniels, Hattie Williams, Florence R. White, C. W. Smith, Kittrel, Broomfield, Leath, Love, Inman, Robinson, F. Williams, Wilson, Lamb, Moore, Vass, Madame Florence Cole-Tabert, Gertrude Hartlett, Mme. Butler, Directress. Misses M. Collins, J. Stewart, Margaret James, M. Cox, Rust-Woodruff, Catherine Bowers, Della Doogan and Ada Ross. Messrs. Charles Boston, A. A. Thomas, L. D. Roberts, Grant Johnson, Moore, C. W. Smith, Vass, A. W. Wilson, J. Thomas Norris, Duncan, Stratten, E. Hall, Broomfield, Stafford and A. Alexander. Mr. L. G. Eggleston, trombone. Mrs. Alva Hightower, Cornet. Mr. Atwell Rose, Violinist. Mr. Jones, Saxaphone. Probably of the ladies the most noted and picturesque choir member under Professor Bartlett's direction is Madame Florence Rita White. Modest to the largest degree, a born leader, she can essay the most humble role within the ranks, though she has a professional career of 11 years as an actress, a mimic, a dancer and a singer behind her. Once she starred with a company for the Griffin circuit and she has toured all over this country and in Canada as a public performer. She is now a successful outside saleswoman, representing four wholesale houses and has determined upon a resourceful business career rather than stage work. She is proud to be under Professor Elmer C. Bartlett's direction and highly pleased with the impressive success "The Christ Child" has scored, for the modesty of Christ, his birth, his life, his death and his work should be a live reminder for all humans to be modest, no matter how great they may be.

AND ITS RESULTS MOST. "CROOKED" POLITICAL DODGES AND HIGHHANDED METHODS DOMINATE THE ELECTION OF PRESIDENT OF CONVENTION. By: ONE WHO WAS PRESENT Editor California Eagle: The National Baptist Convention as assembled at St. Louis, Mo., in good form from the 6th to the 11th of December, "King's Theatre," one of the largest of its kind in St. Louis, and in the most restricted district, was engaged for the occasion. The delegation, and general attendance, was the largest in the history of the Convention. People came from all parts of the country. The President, Rev. Dr. W. G. Parks, called the session together in a short and most befitting address—speaking particularly of the late Dr. E. C. Morris, the former, and for many years president. After scripture reading and prayer, the various states in one representative offered remarks touching the life and work of Dr. Morris. Singing was quite a pleasing and appropriate part of this befitting memorial service. The enrollment of delegates soon followed, and disclosed the unworthy purpose of, some to take advantage of the rather elastic Constitution, and overwhelm the Convention with 'illy secured delegates for the sole purpose of securing the Presidency. The temptation to aspire, truly, brought out the worse in some, who, before, appeared as shining lights. In the running were: Revs. Dr. Parks, Philadelphia; L. K. Williams, Chicago; Norman, Washington, D. C.; Moses, New York; and Bryant of Georgia. Ten minutes were allotted each candidate for nomination speech. The oratory during this time nearly tore the roof off. Friends of each candidate held the over-taxed building in rapturous gaze and delight from 9 a.m. tl11 p. m. Thursday night. Drs. Bryant and Moses, in brotherly in favor of Dr. Parks, and Dr. Norman withdrew in favor of Dr. Williams. This of course left Dr Parks and Dr. Williams in the field The vast multitude at this time began to show signs of eagerness to vote. The Chicago wing using every known political trick to win, while Dr. Parks sat quietly as the gentleman and the Christian, after making the wonderful and open statement that he had not asked any man, living or dead, to vote for him, he believed that the office should seek the man and the office should seek the man and not the man the office. He (Dr. Parks) personally took one delegate from his church, while Dr. Williams had more than 200. Williams had out very large pictures of himself, church magazine, and buttons with his likeness which during the election were freely given away among the delegates. A song was composed bearing his name—"Williams for Me"—and was frequently sung during the voting. The voting was done by calling the State—and a lively time it was—many repeated. At the close the Tellers reported: Parks, 769; WILLIAMS, 790. Dr. Park's conduct will go down as an everlasting example of a noble Executive, the true Gentleman and faithful Christian and Servant of God. He, however was plainly and painfully disappointed. That night at 12:30 someone offered a motion to make the vote unanimous, but there was such a howl against it, that it did not go through. The next morning, however, it was brought up and passed by a small number of delegates present. After this Dr. Parks was requested to install the President and Vice President; this he did in a sweet spirit. Dr. Park's Death He preached a most forceful sermon at Central Church the Sunday morning and left Monday night of the 11th for Philadelphia. Wednesday he attended a dinner at Rev. Dr. Robinson given in his honor. At 6 p. m. he left saying, "I must go, I have an engagement at 6 o'clock." He entered the house of a deacon of his church, and the aged sister meeting him as he sat in a chair said, "And what about the Convention?" He replied "O, they treated me rough; they treated me"... and he fell back, dead. He died of a broken heart. The funeral was Monday, the 18th from his church at 11 a. m. till 3:30 p. m. More than 2,000 crowded the building and about 200 ministers from all over the country were present. It was a service indescribable—O, it was wonderful. All the speakers had to admit that he died of a broken heart. The streets for blocks were crowded. "He conquered, though he fell." A GREAT SINGER HERE SUNDAY Mdme. Sadye Cochrane-Chadwick, lyric soprano singer, from the far East is to apper in sacred concert recital at Eighth and Towne Avenue, First African M. E. Church, Rev. A. Milton Ward, Minister, Sunday night at 5:00 o'clock. The recital is to last one hour, when a thirty minute recess will be given prior to the old fashioned watch-night service which will be conducted by the minister, beginning at 9:30. The singer rendered a solo at the morning service last Sunday prior to the sermon; and many and loud were the amens! Mdme. Cochrane-Chadwick hails from Brooklyn, New York, and comes from a family of singers. She is a singer for the Black Swan Record Co. Radio listeners of Los Angeles heard her sing last week at San Diego. So pleased were the people of the First Mehtodist Episcopal Church (white) of San Jose, California, that she made a return engagement. She sings with ease and grace. Hear her and judge for yourself. Mrs. A. Milton Ward, wife of the minister in charge of Eighth and Towne Avenue Church, has known this charming singer for more than a score of years. During her thirteen years' service on the reportorial staff of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, New York City, Mrs. Ward, who was then Mrs. Lydia C. Smith frequently wrote up the mother and father of this new singer. She is being presented by Prof Barlett and the Choir Sunday night. Mrs. Eliza Warner will hold an op en house at her resident 461 N. Fig ueroa from 3 to 10 p. m. All are cordially invited. Exer. Virgil Toney and Aurora Toney, daughter of Prof. C. H.

Mr. Bolling is now serving at San Pedro in the Navy as first class Petty officer. THE NEW YEAR By Chandler Owen. The New Year is upon us. It is a time when many people and organizations take stock of their resources. With some it is a sort of moral inventory. They reflect upon what they have done and make resolutions for the future. The writer wishes to extend a happy New Year to all the upon us. It is a time when many people and organizations take stock of their resources. With some it is a sort of moral inventory. They reflect upon what they have done and make resolutions for the future. The writer wishes to extend a happy New Year to all the readers of this column. He wishes that each reader might be as much happier than he was this time last year, jjjust as the writer is. Dark clouds have hung imminent and shadows have been upon the horizon. Despite these untoward circumstances, however, sunshine has broken through the gloom. The Ku Klux Klan has steadily gained in power. It has extended its fangs into Oregon, Kansas, California, Washington; and almost every state of the Union. Attempts to segregate the schools have become nation-wide. Lynching and tarring and feathering have gone merrily on. The Dyer Anti Lynching Bill was defeated through an almost unanimous collision of the Republican and Democratic parties. Disfranchisement and jin-crowism have not receded. Unemployment, like a hydra-headed monster, has plunged its fangs into the life of our people everywhere. Marcus Garvey, America's chief laugh-maker, has not only made a laughing stock of the Negro, but at New Orleans and at Raleigh, N.C. in his efforts to cater to Southern Cracker sentiment, he made the most shameless attacks almost ever recorded, against a weak and persecuted people. This is a dark picture indeed. Is there any light still leading kindly? Are there yet pastures into which we rage going? Can we call with Tennyson: "Ring out the old; ring in the new; Ring out the false; ring in the true." We are delighted to say the signs are encouraging. While the segregated school has made headway in certain places, supported unfortunately, by hatin-hand Negro editors, politician, teachers and leaders—at some places, like Springfield, Ohio, the Negroes have stood their ground. They have defeated the separate school gang by refusing to send their children to school, by picketing, by protesting, by every legitimate means within their power. The example set in Springfield is good for the Negroes of the entire Nation. Politically, the Southern Negro is still disfranchised, but he is still migrating to the North where he becomes enfranchised. The Negro has shown more political selection than ever before. Wherever he had the power, he defeated opponents of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, and elected supports instead. In New York the Negroes voted so solidly for A. Philip Randolph, co-editor of The Messenger, and the only Negro nominated on the State ticket, that he polled 30,000 votes ahead of the gubernatorial candidate. They thoroly rebuked the Republican praty—a party of promise, but not performance. Civilly, a large number of Negroes are insisting upon every right to which they are entitled—including social equality. Economically, the Negro worker has become entrenched in industry. He is getting into the unions, establishing more fraternal racial relations. This is true of the Negro workers. Negro business men have also been advancing. Just like the whites, some of their businesses have failed, their banks closed and their integrity impugned. This is true only with a small minority; the majority of them have increased in public confidence, enlarged their businesses, and become more formidable competitors in the world of trade and commerce. Improvement in the Negro press is encouraging. it has $ ^{8}$ become a more alert, more efficient gatherer of the $2.00 THE YEAR NO.41 Child" NO.41 news, a more vigilant sentinel of the Mrs. Amelia T. Wubb entertained with an elaborate dinner party Sunday evening, Dec. 24th at her beautiful home, 1342 W. 35th Place. Artistic in every detail were the decorations and favors which were carried out in yule- tide motif. The candies and mints were made by the hostess. A large turkey graced the table with all the delicacies that go there- with. An ice cream cake decorated with a Santa Claus was a feature of the dessert. Sharing in the hospitality of Mrs. Webb and Miss Melba Simpson were: Mines, C. M. Jason, O. L. Tippins, L. B. Patrick, T. A. Coven, Mabel Turner, Frances Simpkins and Misses Rose McPherson, Julia A. Jenkins and T. Coven. Mrs. Louise Johnson of 610 Brooks Ave., Venice, Calif., died Dec. 16th. The funeral was held on the 20th with Rev. James of Santa Monica officiating. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. The relatives of the deceased are Mrs. Williams of Phoenix, Ariz. and Mrs. Marrow of this city. Mrs. Simons of Santa Monica and Clarence Johnson with whom she lived and others. The interment was held at Evergreen. Mr. Paul McClendon and Miss Georgia Tooke were quietly married last Saturday at 1131 E. 34th St. at the home of the groom, where they are now happily domiciled. Negro's rights. It is purveying education and instilling stamina. Proably the most hopeful phase of the year just passed has been the tendency of leaders of different political, religious and social faiths, to get together. We refer, of course, to the honest men. They have learned also, that it is just as important to get together in opposition to a vicious Negro, as it is in opposition to a vicious white man. Honest and clean men of all faiths have therefore joined hands against the blackest (inside) of all the Negro race traitors in history, the conscienceless renegade, the unspeakable Negro villein, that indescribable clown, that monumental mountebank, that libidinous liar, that lusty lunged leech, that—as Cicero would say: Oh, what shall I call him?—infamous Marcus Garvey. This Negro's influence has been killed, his schemes have fallen through, the fanaticism for him which once was, has now changed to wrath. Fire you have read this, gentle reader. Marcus Garvey will be on trial, and the New Year will be happier when justice is ueted out to him. In this New Year, may the old demagogic devil be driven out of the life of the Negro and held in such check that he can sin no more. Another thing about which Negroes should be especially happy this New Year is the powerful allies who have been forced to their side. Men often combine because of a common enemy, even thoughb no other force would weld them to gether. The Ku Klux Klan, in opposing the Catholics and Jews along with the Negroes, has driven together a trinity of power which will yet dissolve this lawless tar and feather fraternity. Our men and women have moved space in Art. They are taking their place upon the stage. There are nine big-time acts on the Keith-Orpheum circuit; about thirty more small acts are also put on by Negroes. Quite a number of companies have withstood the bitter competition of the times, emerging victorious in the theater world. Roland Hayes, Florence Cole-Talbert, Harry Burleigh, Helen Hagan, Charles Gilpin, and a score of Negro artists have climbed to heights of achievement which throw a beautiful and irresistible charm over human achievement. Courageous, talented, able young men and women are hammering out and fashioning a place in world civilization (or the Negro. They are heralds of the dawn. They are advanced guards of the new day. They carry a torch whose light is breaking thru the thick windows of the past. Then all of us will have happier New Years. We will enjoy brighter and better days. A happy New Year to all is the sincere wish of this writer to every one of you.

HUMBOLDT 4914 Arion Hall, Monday Nite, Greet Winners, Close of Cont The judges who have been appointed to supervise the final count are: Dr. Engle C. Nelson, H. A. Reeves, Charles E. Pearl. THESE ARE THE BIG DAYS Between now and the closing hour Saturday will be the biggest days of the contest. It is not unusual in events of this kind, considering the enormous value of the prizes at stake that the subscriptions turned in in the last week will equal or exceed the amount turned in the entire time of the race previous to the last week. Consequently the management has arranged every detail in such a manner that a fair, square and impartial deal will be assured to every candidate in the list. There promises to be a fierce battle for the honor of winning the $1755.00 Roo Phaeton and the biggest prizes ever offered for conscientious and hard work. PRIZES WORTH EVERY EFFORT In this spectacular campaign, the prizes are surely worthy of the effort—in fact the first prize represents more than the average man's salary for an entire year—more than the average family saves in a lifetime. In other words, the big, brand new Reo represents a small fortune to the winner. 10 O'CLOCK SHARP LAST MINUTE The ballot box will be turned over to the judge immediately after 10 o'clock Saturday night. The count will be made as rapidly as possible, and the results will be announced as advised, and officially published in the next issue. FAIR AND SQUARE The method under which the contest is being closed is absolutely fair and square to every one, for the management itself does not know what any candidate has turned in until the campaign is over. OUR THANKS The management wishes to thank the contestants one and all for their assistance in making this campaign the phenomenal success which it has been. Our only regret is that instead of one, there were not about four or five dozen automobiles to be distributed among the earnest workers who have been the means of giving The Eagle an enormous paid-in-advance circulation - by far the largest of our papers in Los Angeles. CHURCH DISSENSION REVIEWED (Continued from Page One) (Continued from Page One) together to consider the building project. At this meeting, the then chairman of the board of trustees, arose and in a most eloquent speech, advised the church not to attempt to build on the present site, giving many calls to the question. When the chairman's recommendation was carried with but one dissenting vote, at the next business meeting of the church, said trustee changed his mind, handed in his resignation and advised the church not to sell the present site (as he had advised at the former meeting) but to "build right here" on the present site. A few agreed with him this time, but the great majority held on to their former decision. The pastor always favored a new location. This is a true story of the origin of the trouble: the pastor and four dithfs of the membership wanting to sell and build elsewhere, while one-fifth of the membership, headed by three trustees, emma M. J. Goodwin, John Craft and L. E. Goodwin; and three deacons, E. W. Williams, W. M. Osley and C. W. Battles, opposing. In an effort to thwart the expressed will and wish of the great majority of the church, the said trustees and deacons did, on their own initiative, pastor and domaining to hanker in his assignation with thirty days. When the letter was read a member of the church made motion "that the church absolutely ignore the infamous document", which motion was carried by an overwhelming majority. Failing in their first attempt to defeat the will of the majority, these same officers did, on the 26th day of August, lock and nail up the church building without the knowledge or consent of at least four fifths of the membership. Failing in this to accomplish their purpose, the said persons went into the Superior Court of San Diego County on August 29th, and on their own initiative, swore out a complaint and had an injunction issued against the pastor restraining him from performing his pastoral duties. This was also done without the consent of knowledge of the membership. On September 4th, while the pastor was attending the National Baptist Convention in the Angeles, court. Having failed on outstretched court, Having failed to oust the pastor they amended their complaint and Rev. Thomas was obliged to appear in court to answer the amendment. The amendment received the same fate as the original, and was ruled out, thus leaving Rev. Thomas still the pastor of the church. In the meantime, however, the said officers had secured the services of an attorney and had gone into court to prevent the sale of the church property. When the case was called, they appeared with their attorney and witnesses, and one of the best informed Baptist ministers in Southern California, as their coach and general "adviser" to assist them in conducting their case; yet, after all the evidence was in, and the lawyer had made his argument, the permit to sell was granted, and the pastor and church were victorious again—the third time. This is a true and complete statement of our church troubles. To sum it up, we should like to say that these brethren not only failed in all their legal efforts in the courts, but they have failed in everything they have attempted in the meetings of the church. When formal charges were brought, start them for these of If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened their, wrong and apologize to the church for the trouble they had caused; and for "Failing to hear the church", they have become to us, as a heathen man and a publican."

COLORED CITIZENS SURPRISE ATLANTA Commission on Interracial Cooperation 409 Palmer Building Atlanta, Georgia *Make Notable Contribution To Community Chest Campaign* Atlanta, Ga., November, (Special) —A notable feature of the Community Chest Campaign for $600,000 which was successfully conducted because it week with the active and generous cooperation of the colored people, who made 4261 subscriptions to the fund, aggregating $33,084. This sum about equals the total amount apportioned in the Chest Budget to the six participating Negro Organizations, indicating that in Atlanta, at least the colored population is reaching the point where it can care for its own philanthropies and need no longer tail a burden on the community in this regard. More surprising than the total has the fact that the second largest individual subscription of the whole campaign was one of $3500, made by Heman Perry, colored, in the name of The Service Company, an organization which affiliates eleven Negro businesses, with a total capitalization of $5,500,000. Officers and employees of this company subscribed a total of $8050, E. R. Black, the campaign chairman, paid an appreciative tribute, to the spirit shown by the colored people in this great community enger- CLUBDOM Cooperating with the American Red Cross, under the direction of Mrs. Edward Harrison Stamm, recreational director at the Soldiers' Home, Sawtelle, the Southern Division of the California State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs has inaugurated a definite plan whereby the cooperation will be methodical and permanent. To that end the matter of helping with the social comfort of the Colored exservice men in the two hospitals—the Annex and the Main Hospital and the barracks known as No. 12—have been equally assumed by the seventeen Clubs interested, so that each organization will function in turn once during the year, the said organization affording whatever form of recreation and cheer it desires. The Eastside Mothers' Club, being the first in alphabetical order, took up the month of November. Adde from the personal visits of the members the specially arranged entertainment was a beautifully appointed party at the home of Mrs. Edwards, the president, following the picture show given for the benefit of St. Philip's Episcopal Church at the Dunber Theatre last Tuesday evening at which eight of the convalescent hospital board members attended. The Eastside Board of the Independent Church, while not a federated club, extended its hospitality and spirit of co-operation by inviting eight ex-service men to be honor guests at the Thanksgiving dinner served at the church Thanksgiving Day, thus ending the month of November. The Duarte and Monrovia Art Guilds will plan the recreation for the month of December, but since this is the work of every loyal American citizen it is earnestly hoped that every sympathetic man and woman in this section, especially the young people, will hear this "heart-cry" and do something to bring cheer to our own boys at the Soldiers' Home. But, please, let us suggest that whatever is done be done through some one of the seventeen organizations now co-operating with the American Red Cross in order that there be system and permanency. Executive Board State Federation, FILA L. CASSELIS PASADENA Services were well attended on last Sunday at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Rev. F. H.

Commercially, it holds first place among vegitable oils. The section of Southern France, formerly known as Provence, the Luca district of Italy, and our own state of California, produce the best olive oil from the fruit so extensively cultivated in those parts. The fruit is plucked by hand in regions where quality rather than quantity is of the first consideration. When the olives are gathered they are carried to the nearest mill, where they are first spread out and beaten for the air spread out and beaten for the extraction of the oil easier by expanding the oil vessels. The whole process requires a great deal of experience and skill, as even slight overheating will damage the product. (Therefore efficiency is absolutely essential where the best results are obtained, as in all professions. A paste is made up when the fruit is crushed or ground until the oil begins to swim on top. The paste is then put into rush or alpha wood baskets called "scourtins", into sacks of similar material, or into a container made of iron hoops covered with crash A certain number of these receptacles are piled together with or without slat-grating between, and are then subjected to a gentle pressure. CARE OF OLIVE OIL The first oil extracted is of the finest quality, and is called "virgin oil". The second pressing requires more force, and is continued until nothing further can be extracted in that manner. The oil thus obtained varies in grade and value. The "second" oil contains a large amount of water and some vegetable matter, which may be removed by repeated "settling" and "decanting". On an old-time firm cellars or vaults, neru-fam. Mafr makes it, it is next taken to underground cellars or vaults, where it settles for about two weeks. Then the cleaned oil is run off and the oil is then ready for market. One hundred pounds of olives yields an average of 15 to 20 pounds of the first and edible oil. The finished product is rated upon the quality of the fruit, its condition when picked—for neither underripe nor overripe fruit will give the finer grades—and the method ofanning. You can easily tell the best olive oil by its flavor and color. That of a golden or straw yellow tint is considered the very best. Many times you see some olive oil that has a greenish hue, which shows that it is either an inferior grade or that it has not been well refined. If the olive oil is fresh and of good quality it has a sweetish and nutty flavor. While the Italian olive oil is more fruity in flavor than the French oil, it has more of a decided olive taste. Most people prefer the French olive oil because it is more neutral, softer and more delicate. California olive oil has attained front rank, and the demand steadily increases among the best class of customers for the finer grades from our Western paradise state. Probably you do not know that olive oil is faded by light. For this reason it should never be exposed to extremes of either light or temperature, and heat will make it rancid. Cold will cause it to congeal and separate, but does not injure the quality. tfeqqqq nosgy neay artmislsh sh mhm Dr. Lewis will answer questions for glenic and sanitation subjects that are readers of this paper on medical, hy- of general interest to the public.

If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened Eagle's $4000 CONTEST ENDS Sat. Night,at 10 O'clock ALL VOTES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS MUST BE IN THE SEALED BALLOT BOX WHEN THE RACE IS DECLARED CLOSED AT 10 O'CLOCK SHARP, SATURDAY NIGHT, DECEMBER 8TH. Letters may be mailed to The Eagle office bearing subscriptions and marked "for sealed ballot box" which will insure, them not being opened. Particular care should be taken to mail such letters in good time to reach this office before the final hour and it is advisable that all such letters be sent under a special delivery stamp. All subscriptions deposited in the ballot box must be accompanied by cash, money order, or certified check for the full amount to cover. Personal checks up to $10.00 are acceptable providing no two checks are signed by the same party. This ruling is made in fairness to all candidates and will be strictly enforced. Today's vote standings are the last that will be published until the judges make known the results of the final count. As explained before, to insure the strictest secrecy, all subscriptions will be deposited by the candidates in the locked and sealed ballot box which is now in the Bank, Cor. 8th and Central Ave., and will remain there until 12 Noon December 8th, at which time the Ballot Box will be taken to the Eagle office, 822 Central Ave., until 10 P. M. Under this arrangement no one, not even the Campaign Manager or the publishers can possibly know the voting strength of the respective candidates. When the final hour (10 o'clock, Saturday Night, December 8th) arrives the campaign will be declared closed. The judges will then open the box and immediately thereafter, or as soon as votes can be issued on subscriptions contained therein, the last count will begin. The winners will be determined by merely adding to the last published vote totals, which appear today, to the reserve votes and those contained in the ballot box. There will be no waiting, but simply a matter of adding the vote totals and announcing the winners at Arion Hall, Monday Evening, 9:30 o'Clock. It is calculated that it will require some time, however, to canvass the findings in the ballot box and to determine the winner of the $1,795.00 Reo Phateton Car and the other big prizes. The official results will be published in our next issue and announced at the Eagle's Big Entertainment and Dance, Dec. 10th, when the final count has been completed. In case of a tie, tying contestants will each receive the full amount of the prize for which tied. Call in Person, Telephone, or Write the Campaign Manager, California Eagle Campaign Headquarters, 822 Central Avenue; Phone: 829-244 HOW TO GE TTHE MOST VOTES ★★★ Wide awake contestants will see the advantage of getting the BIG subscriptions this week, the close of The Eagle's contest. Every 10-year subscription has a vote value of 600,000 votes—a 5-year subscription is worth 260,000 votes. On top of this you still get 100,000 EXTRA votes, in addition to the regular votes, for every $25 in subscriptions turned in. Estimate your competitor's strength—but be careful not to UNDERESTIMATE it. It's better to win by a million votes too many than to lack just a few thousand votes of having enough to land this big $1,795.00 Reo Phaeton Automobile. If you expect to win, you'll have to get busy and KEEP BUSY until 10 o'clock this Saturday night, the last minute of the contest. ★★ The winner of this $1,795 Reo Phaeton and Cash Prizes will be decided between now and Saturday 10 P. M. and presented to their winners the night of the Eagle's Big Dance at Arion Hall, 116 $2 East 3rd Street.

Author of Simms' Blue Book, etc.) WHAT BUSINESS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE One of the hardest things for any one to do is to choose the business or profession that he should enter upon for his career in life. A young man may be highly fitted to make a good doctor, but have no qualifications at all for a lawyer and • ever versa. Another may have all the necessary qualifications necessary to make an edible of succeeding as a restaurant proprietor. We might go through the whole calendar of professions, trades, and the different kinds of businesses and find that where one is fully qualified by natural attainments to enter a certain profession, trade or business, that he may in no wise be qualified for some other profession, trade or business. It often, happens that one chooses and enters upon a career that h from natural qualifications is incapable of carrying on. After having wasted a number of years, he finds that he cannot succeed in the career that he has selected, and that he must abandon it and take up something else. In such a case, time, capital and energy have been lost and can never be regained. It is therefore important that one gets the right short. To select the profession, business, trade or employment that one is best suited to pursue, is by no means an easy task. Neatly every person, at some time, has shown special qualifications for a certain kind of vocation. When these tendencies are shown, they should be heeded. It is true that training along certain lines fits one for certain careers, but where one has natural qualifications to which it is added special training for a profession business or trade, it makes the success much more easy to attain, and the career more brilliant. You, no doubt, know of many instances where men have had every advantage that education and training could afford, but could not succeed along the line they had chosen, while on the other hand, you may know of other men whose educational training was very limited, and whose opportunities to succeed had not been at all encouraging, yet these men are meeting with great success, making wonderful progress in spite of their handicaps. Such persons have natural qualifications for the careers chosen, and such is usually the case If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened where one has been fortunate to choose the right career. Of course it does not follow that unless one has natural ability to aid him he cannot succeed. Education and special training will fit a man for most undertakings, but no amount of education or training is ever equal to natural attainments. Musicians, orators, great lawyers, surgeons, great financiers, and the world's foremost leaders are born, not made. So everyone who contemplates entering upon any kind of career should ascertain whether he have any natural qualifications for doing th thing that he has chosen.Every man to his own calling. If you can be satisfied that you are naturally qualified to do a certain thing, you have a great advantage over the person who cannot make a definite decision. Follow the natural bent of your mind when you are trying to decide what you shall do, and do not enter any profession, business or trade because you know of some one else who is succeeding in that particular line. Consider carefully your natural atalentments, your training and mental tendencies to assist you in deciding upon the career you shall enter. LINCOLN NEWS SERVICE Washington Letter VIOLENCE AGAINST RAILWAY SHOPMEN PUT UP TO GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS Guilt for the lynching of one railway shopman, and the flogging, imprisonment and exile of others in Harrison. Ark., and vicinity since last January is laid at the door of the Missouri and North Arkansas Railway officials in a report on the situation made public last week by Charles J. Finger, an Arkansas publicist of national repute and a former railroad manager. The report, a copy of which is in the hands of Governor Thomas C. McRae of Arkansas, embodies an independent investigation undertaken by Finger at the request of the American Civil Liberties Union, which has been knocked, a way to help the "condition of terror" along the railway. Two facts upon which Finger focuses attention through a mass of detailed evidence are especially significant: first, that the bridge burnings used by the road officials to arouse the public against the strikers were doubtless due to natural causes; second, that Wise and Orr, strikers who are still in prison for alleged sabotage, pleaded guilty only upon the advice of their attorney in order to escape violence at the hands of the "Citizens' Committee" which had lynched J. C. Gregor the night before. Finger shows that the railway was for several years in bad shape, some of its locomotives and trestles having been condemned by Federal inspectors, in a period of extreme dry weather, the wooden trestles easily caught fire as trains passed. He draws the conclusion from the circumstances that the fires occurred only when trains were in operation. When Orr and Wise appeared in court, Finger recounts, the news of Gregor's lynching and other acts of mob violence were known. A threatening crowd surrounded the court house. Judge Mitchell, council for the two strikers, urged them to plead guilty. NATIONAL OFFICE N.A.A.C.P. WILL ARRANGE FOR PRINTING HOUSTON MTATYRS' PETITIONS It was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at 63 Fifth Avenue, New York City, that the National Office will arrange for the printing of the petitions to be used in gathering signatures asking for the release of the 24th Infantry confined in Leavenworth prison for the use of individuals and those organizations which desire the petitions only in small quantities. This the National office has arranged to do for reasons of economy. Therefore, those organizations which desire only limited quantities of the petitions may secure them at the rate of one cent a sheet, approximately one half the cost of printing and mailing, by sending an order and the amount necessary to cover the same to the N.A.A.C.P. These orders will be turned over to the printers at New York and filled as promptly as possible. Larger organizations are following the original plan and having their petitions printed locally, but the N.A. A.C.P. feels that the above outlined plan will be a convenience to smaller organizations and individuals. The N.A.A.C.P. reported today there has never been any cause which has been entered into with such whole-hearted enthusiasm as the campaign to free these men. The Methodist Episcopal Church through its Bishop R. E. Jones is distributing petitions among its churches; the Knights of Philthias, of North America, etc., through Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green is circulating through its Grand Chancellors more than five thousand petitions (each petition having space for 60 signatures); the Citizens Club of Borkley, Norfolk, Va., has unanimously passed a resolution pledging complete cooperation in this effort and, during the special meeting which it will hold on November 11th, the audience will stand for five minutes in silent prayer for the release of the men. According to all present indications many more than the original goal of 100,000 signatures to the petitions will be secured. ```markdown ``` The Ring That Made Us Famous in a Day 7-Stone Cluster Diamond Ring sold to you on small payment down, balance in weekly payments; 10 months to pay it in.

J. WALKER BE- COMES THE BRIDE OF PROMI- NENT CHICAGO PHYSICIAN High noon on Saturday, November 21th, 1823, will be long remembered in the annals of New York Society for the gorgeous wedding or Miss Mae Walker Robinson, g.and daughter of the late Madam C. J. Walker, to Dr. Henry Cordon' Jackson, of Chicago, Illinois. Although the day was cold, gray, and rain threatened as early as ten o'clock, the guests began to arrive and occupy the seats of vantage at fash- ionable St. Phillips Episcopal Church As the hour for the ceremony approached, a cordon of poli$^a$ was required to keep back the ever increasing crowd which lined both sides of the street. By eleven o'clock the church was already two-thirds filled with a typically well-dressed New York audience and by noon soars offering a good view were not to be had. At ten minutes of one the Chair in processional sang Mendelssohn's "Here Comes the Bride" and following down the entire aisle came the memorable bridal party and took their position in semicircular formation facing the altar, which was abundantly decorated with palms, ferns, cape smilac and garlands of brides ribbon. A beautiful spectacle to behold, I assure you—a stately, classic church appropriately decorated and graced with an audience honoring the union of two members of our increasing aristocracy. Miss. Jackson was radiant as a bride-to-be, gracefully slow and unfaltering in her steps. Simply beautiful is inadequate to completely describe her costume, for it was both simple and beautiful. It was of white chiffon, adorned with an all over design of genuine imported sea pearls over brides Satin, a tulle veil attached to an Egyptian Read dress purchased by her mother on a recent trip to the Holy Land, fraught with orange blossoms and which gracefully fell to form a ten foot train. She wore broached-silver slippers, no jewelry, save a diamond broach, the gift of the groom, and carried a large bouquet of brides roses showed with ribbons and bulla of the valley. She was indeed a picture, on the arm of Attty, F. B. Ransom, of Indianapolis, Ina, who gave her in marriage. The Matron of Honor, Mrs. Norman Harris, nee Katie Wilson, of Washington, D. C., was chaining in a simple straight line gown of silver cloth wearing a dainty chiffon picture hat, and carrying a Shepherd's Staff of butterfly roses. Typical of the good judgment of the bride was her selection of her Maid of Honor, and her Brides Maidstor, arrayed among them was beauty, brains and blood. Her Maid of Honor was Miss Consuella Street, of Indianapolis, Ind., and her Brides Maids were the Misses Louise Jackson, Eunice Hunter, Marion Moore, Mildred Randolph, of New York City, and Miss Anita Thompson, of Los Angeles, Cal. They were traditionally lovely in Bouffant Gowns of cream colored pure Chantilly lace over silver cloth, appropriately trimmed with ropes of Orange Blossoms. They wore coronets of Braided silver cloth covering their Egyptian Hair Dress. Brocaded silver slippers and carried Ivory-bound Episcopal Prayer Books. Leila Emma Bansom, of Indianapolis, Ind., Betty Payton and Kathleen Barnum, of New York City were petite flower girls daintily clad in fluted ruffed dresses of white georgette crop over white satin trimmed with silk lace, hand rosebuds and ribbons. They carried wicker baskets filled with Ophira Rosels. Little Vetner Taudy, Jr., in a Lord Faunteroy suit of white satin was in his bearing of the ring on a heart shaped pillow of Venetian satin and silver lace. Madam Leila Walker, mother of the bride, becomingly wore an elegant straight line gown of gold metallic cloth designed and imported for the occasion from Paris, France. The presence of such substantial young men as Drs. Libert Lozama, Ned Chestnutt, Waldo Alexander and Bindley Cyrus, of Chicago, Attorney Drake L. Smith, of Baltimore, and Attorney Henry Rucker, of New York City as ushers, in the bridal party; attest to the popularity of the groom. The gentlemen were attired in strictly formal morning dress and wore boutonieres of white carnations, excepting the groom who wore illies of the valley, and the best man, and donor of the bride, who wore gardenias. Father Hutchins Bishop, Rector of the Church, performed the ceremony, and was assisted by his son, the Rev. Shelton Bishop. Throughout the ceremony Prof. Paul Bolin, organist, softly rendered organ numbers and at the close of the ceremony the choir sang an old marriage hymn. The couple and party gracefully marched from the church to the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding March. They found difficulty getting through the battery of camera and newspaper men, and the curious, but well-meaning crowd. It was only by the timely effort of the police that a stampede to touch the bride was averted, and the couple were enabled to proceed unmolested on their way to the wedding break fast at Villa Lewaro. PRE-NUPTIAL AFFAIRS All of the two weeks before the wedding were crowded with events given in honor of the newlyweds, notable among which was: Friday Evening, Nov. 16th—A linen show by the Debutantes Club. Saturday, Nov. 17th—A luncheon at the home of Mrs. Czarina George, by Mrs. Grace Kellog, and Mrs. George. Saturday Evening, Nov. 17th—Entertained at the home of Mrs. Marie Payton. Monday Evening, Nov. 19th—Party at the home of Mrs. Harry Austin, by Misses Annabelle Anderson, Ethel Gardener, Pearl Grayson, Regina Anderson, Anita Thompson, Marie Moore, Midred Randolph, Andreas Lindsay, and Mrs. Percy May Tweedy Lewis.

Patterson, Gertrude Curtis McPherson, Godfrey C. Patton, Harry Austin, Godfrey Nurse, Charles Ramey, Norman Cotton, Fluorun Miller, Clarence Johnstone, Custus Venie, James Harris, John E.

Friday Evening, Nov. 23rd—Rehearsal and Dinner to Wedding Party at Villa. Friday, November 23rd - Kitchen Shower by Bridesmaids. THE RECEPTION After the ceremony and Wedding Breakfast a reception was held at Villa Lewaro, at Irving-Hudson, the $250,000 Country Place purchased by the late Madam C. J. Walker, grand mother of the bride, and present home of Nadam A. Leila Walker. The reception was remarkable for its notable attendance and the splendor of its setting. The Villa was never more beautiful with its new and costly decorations and embellishments of palms, ferns, pot plants, sunflower, white chrysanthemums and ribbon. The entire Eidul party was the cebing line, and more than a thousand passed it and showered congratulations and wishes for happiness upon the bride and groom who stood beneath a canopy of cape silax and garlands of ribbon. During the reception selectives were rendered on the orzan by Mr. Lorenzo F. Dyer, on the harp by Miss Anna Welch, Mrs. P. M. Murphy, accompanied by Miss Beatrice Lewis, who sang "O Promise Me." The following we house guests at Villa Lewaro for the wedding: Dr. & Mrs. Ernest Lyons, Baltimore, Md.; Mrs. Hale Jackson, Cleveland, O.; Miss Anjetta Breedlove, Los Angeles, Cal.; Miss Alice P. Kelley, Indianapolis, Ind.; Miss Consulencia Street, Indianapolis, Ind.; Atty, F. B. Ransom and daughter A'Leila Emma, Indianapolis, Ind. And aside from hundreds of New Yorker's present at the reception the following out of town guests were noted among those present: Mrs Samuel Thompson, Mrs.Essie Saunders, Miss Mania Owens and mother of, Los Angeles, Calif., Mrs. Alice Burnett, and daughter of, Chicago, Ill.; Mr. Harry D. Evans of Indianapolis, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. George Dean of Germantown, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. Beresford Gale, Philadelphia, Pa.; Mrs. Eva P. Francis, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Artena Miller, Richmond, Va.; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Ray, Bethlehem, Pa.; Miss Doris L. Madison, Albany, N. Y.; Miss Beatrice Lewis, Washington, D. C.; Miss Madeline Layton, Philadelphia, Pa.; Mrs. B. Perry Rhodes, Philadelphia, Pa.; Mrs. Julia Barny Jones, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Mrs. Fannie Harper, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Mrs. Norris Skelby, Morristown, N. Y.; Dr. and Mrs. Chas. Craft, Germantown, Pa.; Mrs. Arthur L. Cortis, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Wm. H. Washington, D. and Mrs. Wm. H. Green, Mrs. Juzz Helen, Newark, N. J.; Mrs. S. Henderson, Boston, Mass.; Miss Marjorie Henderson, Cambridge, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Jackson, Chicago, Ill.; D. Wm. Rhone, Orange, N. J.; Prof. Arthur W. Long, Trenton, N. J.; Mr. Jas. Owens, Jamaica, L. I. Great significance is attached to the wedding, uniting, as it does, two of the Race's leading families, and it proved itself a gala society event, elipsing even the most vague anticlinion in beauty and gorgousness. GIFTS The mother's gift to the couple was a heirloom of especially made solid mahogany case containing 126 pieces of hand turned sterling silver from Tiffany & Company. The groom gave to the bride an expensive diamond brooch. The bride gave to the Matron of Honor a braided green gold bracelet fastened with a lock containing two diamonds and a sapphire. The groom gave to the best man and ushers walking canes and cigarette cases. The bride gave to the brides maids Gold Coast Ivory Bound Episcopal Prayer Books. Valuations are odious to place upon the many handsome and costly gifts to the couple. Friends from throughout the land generously remembered them with jewels, silver ware, cut glass, fine linens, household goods, apparel and personal congratulations. Nine thousand invitations were issued to the wedding, one thousand of which covered the mailing list of Madame A'Leila Walker, including friends and acquaintances in every State in the Union, British Guana, the West Indies, Canada, England, France, Haiti, Liberia, Nigeria, Panama and the Phillipine Islands.

Los Angeles Commercial Council. The message of the President delivered to Congress yesterday is a notable state paper, in which without the least fear or favor he met all issues and side-stepped none of them. He went squarely on record as against the granting of a bonus to the World War veterans, endorsed President Harding's stand for a World's Court, a more strict enforcement of the prohibition law and placing the employees of that department under the Civil Service. He also opposed recognition to Soviet Russia and favored lower taxes and freight rates and fertilizer for the farmers. Conspicuous among his recommendations was a law against Lynching; with the exception of ex-President Wilson, his words on Lynching are not unlike those of his predecessors—all of whom deplored the hideousness of the crime of Lynching, but Congress always turned a deaf ear to the plea. The President, however, made an advance step in recommending a Commission to establish a better understanding between the White and Black people. He characterized the difficulties between the races as local in character and must be worked out by the mutual forgiveness and human kindness of each community, and said that such a method gives more promise of real remedy than outside interference. To be frank, the last and concluding sentence on the Race Question, to our way of thinking, cast a pall over the entire subject, for he called for a suppression of Lynching by the Federal Government and in the next breath, declares that it is a question for the States to decide for themselves—and in this situation he might just as well have passed up the question in its entirety, for this statement made by the President is a powerful weapon in the hands of the Southerners who have stood in the way of the passage of any such measure in the past. HOW MUCH OF THIS BUSINESS SHOULD BE GAINED BY OUR GROUP? A conservative estimate of the amount of money spent by members of our group in the city of LOS ANGELES annually for seven articles only is $16,373,333.00. Basing the population at 40,000, the estimate which is conservative to the highest degree, gives for food at $3.00 per week, $6,240,000.00; shoes at $18 per, $740,000.00; clothes at $1.00 per week, $2,000.00; Electricity, $80,000; Gas, $80,000; Car Fare, $1,253,333—a grand total of $16,373,333.00. The great big question is how much of this business, Mr. Business Man, are you getting; and if not, why not? Our answer is less than one and one-half per cent. Our admonition is, Get busy and corral some of your own business and become a real factor in the community in which you live. COMMERCIAL COUNCIL ON THE JOB. The interest of the Commercial Council in stimulating ambition and hope into the minds of our young men and women, by providing a Silver Cup to be contested for annually is to be commended. It is a foregone conclusion that the youth of today is to be the salvation of the Race along business lines. Therefore the Council acts wisely in its encouragement, and the beautiful Silver Cup give into the Society winning the first Annual Oratorical Contest of the Lyceum is perhaps a stepping stone to a more sincere devotion, not only for literary efforts, but along business lines as well. Long may be the life of the Los Angeles Commercial Council. BYERS FOR CONGRESS. We note the favorabe mention J. E.

He is of Congressional calibre and a man who stands, not for a part of the people, but for all the people. His record as Sheriff of San Diego County stands out as an example for all Peace Officers to aspire to; and the people appreciating such signal service, and recognizing the ability of Mr. Byers, will make no mistake in sending him to Congress to succeed Judge Swing. MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE WHOSE OX IS GORED. Ever since the present City Ordinance prohibiting public dancing after 12 A. M. has been a law, the common, average, every-day man, who is no other than the great common people, has had to observe it. If he violated this law, he paid the price, and not a holler did he make. Now, what we would like to know, what is all this confusion, when the police officials demand the same respect for the law from those who dance at the Biltmore as they do from those who happen to dance at the "Needmore Hotel" on Central Avenue? We are absolutely at sea and we cannot conceive that anybody would advocate one law for the rich and another for the poor. It looks to us like a new day and a new deal when the law is to be applied impartially to all. We like the spirit of fair play under the present regime, when regardless of who is concerned the law is taking its course. Poor man gets arrested down town for violating the law, rich man uptown gets arrested on the same basis. To our mind this is real Democracy. Of course it is not the sort of Democracy that some people like; but it's Democracy just the same. All along the line, as we note above, the common, ordinary, average citizen has been made to abide by this law and now it hits the higher ups and there is a wailing and gnashing of teeth, and a rattling of dry bones. So after all, it makes a big difference as to whose ox is gored. Service Information Bureau Washington GROWTH OF COLORED INSURANCE COMPANIES SIGN OF PROGRESS Assets Called Financial Reservoir Of Race Washington, D. C., Nov. 30—One of the surest signs of the progress of the Colored People of America is the remarkable prosperity of the insurance companies that have been organized and are being conducted by members of the Race. It is estimated that the sixty insurance companies operated by Colored People have approximately $110,000,000 worth of insurance in force with aggregate assets amounting to some Ten Million ($10,000,000) Dollars. The value of having this vast sum of money is a financial reservoir for the uses of the Colored People of America is very forebly pictured in an article appearing in the November issue, The Business, Achievement Number, of The Messenger Magazine of New York City, written by Herman E. Perry, President of the Standard Life Insurance Company, in which he makes the following statement: "In addition to the religious, social and educational, excess which, in the main, make up the elements composing the foundation upon which a race is built there is another factor which is equally as important and without which no race can ever-acquire that strength and character necessary to enable it to stand out as a power among the races of the world. This factor is the economic life of a people, or that which deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of wealth, estates and wealth which is accumulated as a result of labor of the partici- pcular racial group. These strong, financial institutions are at the present time the backbone of the structure upon which we, as a race, must rise. "The money distribution of Life Insurance Companies are the stepping stones to future fortunes which could be乘ased in no other way. Through them, new communities will rise beautiful residences will replace the squall huts, modern fire proof apartments will take the place of the fire-trap, and the unsanitary tente. Flowers will bloom where weeds once grew, and the unlightly side street and alley will be transformed into attractive sub-divisions with paved streets, lakes and parks. They grounds and swimming pools will be created for recreation or America's black children, with every modern equipment for the prolongation of human life and great colleges and universities will be built." The growth of life insurance organizations among Colored People in America is indicative of the new idea of thrift which has taken hold of this racial group and of the fact that they are taking advantage of the general wave of prosperity which the country is enjoying at this time. That the sale of life insurance among Colored People is not unnatural is shown by an article recently appearing in The Washington, D. C. Post calling attention to the fact that the sales of life insurance in the United States continues to eclipse previous records. During the first nine months of the present year policies representing more than $4,000,000,000 were taken out, of this amount, Th EPost, the three months ending September 30th, 1923, were responsible for $2,350,000,000 showing an increase of 19 per cent above the same period in 1922 and 36 per cent above the corresponding quarter of 1921. These figures besides being striking in themselves, are an evidence of the generally prosperous condition of the country. When people are in straightened circumstances the last thing they think of as a rule is life insurance. That prosperity is widespread is apparent from the fact that no State were the sales of life insurance less up to October 1 than they were at the same date last year, and that form of investment is a good barometer of the financial condition of the population is proved by the further fast that in this respect the West Central States have gained less in the period under notice than any other section of the country, the cause assigned being the poor agricultural situation. In addition to showing prosperity, these insurance figures evince a fine spirit in family life and a kindly care for others, for it is mainly in the interest of dependents who may be deprived of their bread that life policies are effected. From every point of view, then, the increase in insurance is to be hailed as symptomatic of good. THE LOS ANGELES "FORUM" NOTES An overwhelming cqwd jammed the "Forum" on Sunday, November 25th, to hear the "Y" boys de- serve the program. You can see the demonstrator Prof. C. Biggers' new method in Commercial Business Courses; Prof. Biggers said, in part, that this course can be finished in the space of three months, on a guarantee basis. It is to any one's advantage, who would like to take this course, to call at the Metropolitan Building and have a "chat" with Prof. Biggers. It would take too much space for me to tell how the "Y" boys so enthusiastically rendered their program. It would be a great pleasure to see some mothers and fathers out, to hear their sons express themselves for the higher characteristic in Life. Also the wonderful way in which M. Noah D. Thompson spoke on behalf of Prof. Green and his boys. We want the public to always visit the "Forum" from Sunday to Sunday and get acquainted with these boys and girls. This is the day of commercialism, the day of electricity, the day of scientific progress, and invention; above all it is the day of idealism. Inheritors of all that is best in the greatest religion of the world, and of the cream of all the system of ethic, moral, and social ages of men and women today, in every phase of life find themselves inspired by all the fine sentiments and aspirations, which have grown out of the individual and collective, will of men, and developed those qualities which differentiate him from the beast. However, as a race of people, we have not yet learned to encourage our boys and girls openly; so that they may profess their idealism; to give free expression to their higher thoughts and feelings. It is probably because there we, a time when our idealism was young, and required protection from those of the opposite race. Today it is different, and with the exception of the comparatively few members of a fast-vanishing type of human beings, the race admits and admires these spiritual qualities, which have the urge of every earnest heart, and has ever been the foundation for all worthy people. Therefore, the time is at hand, when individual is need no longer be either afraid or ashamed of their ideals. It is timer for the idealist to trust the average man and woman, be believing that every heart will respond to an expression of the beautiful and the true. It is also, time for all of us to take our idealism to work; to counter every vulgar jest and neg which flooded our souls in the hour of prayer and meditation. It is time to counter every vulgar jest, and negative word we hear with a clean thought and positive, wholesome speech. I am not speaking of that brand of optimism, which gives breath to embarrassment by demanding a perpetual gaze on the face of human; nor yet that blatant idealism, but that profound idealism which awakened the vim of the boys and girls, "that you shall be called blessed." NINTH STREET HI Y DELEGATION MAKES GREAT IMPRESSION AT CONFERENCE By Clarence Brothers (Delegation Reporter) "Having torches in their hands, they will pass them on from one to another." To carry out the purposes symbolized by the torch, and to discuss the methods they can pursue, observe them on November 30 and December 1st, and 2nd. Nearly every high school in Southern California was represented at the 18th Annual Y.M.C.A. Older Boys Conference. The torch, as accepted by this conference, is a symbol of princess which the boys aim to possess. Bringing the boys together once each year is one of the finest means of establishing a thorough understanding between them. Several messages of the torch were given. Among the topics discussed were: "Carrying the torch," by Dr. Daniel Fox, of Pasadena; "Carrying the Torch in Other Lands," by Ray Moreman, Smyrna. The Ninth Street H. Y. Club was well represented. The delegation consisted of Thomas Southern, Edwin Jefferson, Michael Mackham, Theophilus Smith, and Clarence Brothers, Senior Roy Johnson, Prince Greene, Haven Johnson, Junior Hi Y. Benjamin C. Colly and Wendell Gladden, Leaders. Edwin Jefferson, President of the Senior Hi Y Club, was elected President of the delegation. Thomas Southern was chosen yell-leader. The delegation president held the standards of Ninth Street by well-prepared speeches, while eight fellows formed a double quartet and rendered song selections on every program. On Sunday this quartet sang two songs at the First Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the six largest white churches in Pomona. Three of the invitations could not be accepted for lack of time. The people of Pomona, especially the three colored families, Mr. and Mrs. James Austin, Mr. and Mrs. Baugh, and Mr. and Mrs. Marks, who so admirably and willingly cared for the delegation deserve much praise for their wonderful hospitality. *Rev. Woodby To Speak Sunday* Rev. George W. Woodby, noted historian and lecturer, will address the Y.M.C.A. Sunday at 3 p.m. on the subject of "The Negro in Ancient History". Everybody is cordially invited to attend, and hear this brilliant speaker. Pryce Service Bureau BUSINESS AND FINANCE By James N. Simms, LLD. Author of Simms Blue Book, etc. BUSINESS in BUSINESS To succeed in business, requires first of all, a knowledge of the business, that one engages in, honesty, sufficient attention to business at all times, promptness in meeting obligations and systematic advertising. To acquire a knowledge of the business is of the greatest importance. If you have no working knowledge of the business to start with, you will not be able to meet intelligently the simple requirements that will confront you at the outset. There are certain things that must be done in connection with all businesses from the moment you invite the public to trade with you. If you are not informed how to meet prospective patrons and present your wares or state propositions in a clear and concise manner, you at once bring upon your self unnecessary criticism from the pubs because not only your patrons but those who are dealing with you to lose confidence in you from the start and confidence in you lost by a patron is harder to regain than to obtain at first. The first impression made is always the most lasting one. It is, therefore, necessary that you be able to convince those you deal with of your ability to satisfy them. If you enter into a business that you are not familiar with, you should employ someone who thoroughly understands the business to work with you until you have acquired sufficient knowledge of it to carry it on intelligently without assistance. By doing this, you will more quickly enter upon the road to success. HONESTY. You may gain the confidence of the public and thereby a large patronage, but if you prove dishonest, you will soon lose the confidence, and respect of those trading with you, and the result will be a gradual losing of your patronage. You may not observe this loss at first because of the fact that new patrons are constantly coming in, but in time you will see the mistake of being dishonest for there is even an end to numbers. One may succeed for a while by misrepresentation and sharp bargains, but this will not last. Strict attention to business should she observed at all times since none wants to do business with another who does not give him attention to his business. To succeed one must be on the job at all times during business hours. OBLIGATIONS. To gain and hold the confidence of creditors, you must meet your obligations promptly. No one can successfully run a business of any proportion unless they can get credit. ADVERTISE. You can not hope to sell your wares unless you let the public know you have them for sale.

Patton, Jr. Watch for THE HISTORY OF THE HOLY TRANSVERSAL Dr. A. J. Stokes, Peerless Pulpeteer, Matchless Orator, and for forty years the untrained leader of the race comes to the pastorate of the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church this city. The Mt. Zion Baptist Church in particular, and the Baptists in general, have a cause for great rejoicing. For in the coming of Dr. Stokes into our midst, we have a ripe scholar, an experienced leader in the practice and polity of the church such as in but few others. Dr. Stokes has been honored with every office in the gift of the National Baptist Convention. He is now the treasurer, and has been for a quarter of a century. Though a sexoagenarian, he is the youngest, as well as the noblest Roman of them all. Dr. Stokes was a lifelong friend of Dr. Baker T. Washington, and was his private counsel in critical times, while building up the great Taskekege Institute, Major Robert Ruska Moton, head of Taskekege, recognized the wisdom of Dr. Stokes, and had him elected to the board of trustees of the school. Dr. Stokes leaves one of the greatest churches in the South. Its membership is more than 5,000. Most of whom he added while in the pastorate of forty years. The Doctor is said to be one of the few Negro ministers who is wealthy. This is stating it mildly. Much time has been spent on two separate occasions in Palestine, when he explored the land made sacred by the life and death of Jesus Christ. These trips have added veneration, which is akin to the prophets. Though spending most of his time in the South among the prejudiced whites, still that unconquerable spirit and indomitable will have never been surrendered from the highest interest of the people whom he served and successfully led, and this has endearment to him both races.

Freedrick Mitchell, Pastor of the Christian Church at Thirty-third Street and Hooper Avenue, is indeed entitled to be called the miracle man, when, with a flock 'which is not noted for its numerical strength, can break ground, and, in sixty days or less, have the edifice in which to worship as the one at this location, we cannot fail to give such a pastor and his congregation, due credit for the same. Opening Day The doors of this edifice were opened on last Sunday at M. doobek for the 1st regular service. In the afternoon a platform meet in the theater, and program in蹲 in the theater, under the endangered. Among those who spake were: Rev. Stevens, Rev. J. E. Edmunds, Rev. E. E. Lightener, Dr. H. T. Howles, R-representatives of the Pacific Ready Cut Builders, who built the church, C. A. McKinney and Editor J. B. Bass. Rev. Maddux, an able minister of the White church, delivered masterly discourses morning and evening. His subjects were "The Church" and "The Lordship of Jesus." The able pulpit left no stone unturned to make every phase of his subjects plain. Musical numbers were rendered by Mrs. Boston, Mrs. E. S. Jackson, with Mrs. Brandon as accompanist. Quite a neat sum was realized from the offering for the occasion. This church is located in a section where a great service can be rendered, and with a leader like Rev. Mitchell in the lead, watch it grow. It is the plan of the pastor and members to effect further changes within a few months, namely, to move the temporary building to the adjoining lot and erect a spacious church edifice with a basement and all departments of a modern church.

Most Worshipful Grand Master. Royal Grand Matron, Officers, and members of the M. W. Alpha Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M. Scottish Rite of the jurisdiction of California. Ladies and Gentlemen: Words fail me when I try to express to you the hearty welcome, accorded you tonight, by the members and friends of St. Paul Baptist Church, because we know full well the principles of your Grand and Noble order. We welcome you because you are the Most Ancient of all secret Fraternities, resolving as far back as King Solomon's time. Let us take a retrospective view of the milie stones of progress you have made. From a beginning so small that even the promoters couldn't see the possibilities, you have spread the principles, for which you stand throughout the length and breadth of the world, and so firm has your stand for the things which PAGE-2 son means much. With God as your head no man can be a true Mason without being a Christian. The compass which is one of the emblems of your noble ordr, causes you to circumscribe your actions, and do only those things that become a member of the Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, Scottish Rite. The Square, another emblem of your order leads me to believe that you deal on the square with your fellowman, and that you retain from the petty things that would reflect upon your fraternity. Not only do we welcome you because you represent justice, mercy, honesty, truthfulness, etc., but because of the protection you are able to live to a brother while he lives, when he has answered to roll call, heaven, you administer to the needs of the distress of the widows, and orphans, for it braces a woman in her hour of grief to know that although the cruel hand of death has taken her prop, yet there are those who stand ready and willing to do what they can to lessen her sorrows. To the members of the Eastern Star, we welcome you because you represent five of the illustrious women of Ancient times. The Noble qualities which these five Heroes possessed, teaches you how to be a good wife, mother, daughter and friend. For these things we welcome you to our church, to our pews, and to the beautiful music turned you by our excellent choir. On behalf of the members of the St. Paul Baptist Church, I again bid you welcome, yes thrice welcome. To which III. V. M. Cole 32 degree, W. M. of B. H. Stillyard Lodge in fitting words responded. II. Charles S. Broady, 32 degree, Master of Ceremonies, handled the program elegantly. With R. W. D. G. M., J. L. Arnold, 32 degree in charge of the Craft. This Supreme Grand Council of the A. F. and A. M. Scottish Rite in its fourth annual session, began to investigate the true status of the origin and geouness of the African Lodge that was then at Boston, Mass., with one Mr. Prince Hall, as Grand Master. Among colored men in the U. S. A. at that time, Brother W. C. H. Curtic, was President of the Congress and appointed the following Committee, W. R. Lawton of Missouri, John G. Jones of Chicago Ill., B. F. Rogers of Springfield, Ill., Jos. H. Banks of Providence, R. L. and H. D. Vena of Detroit, Mich. Committee report I. We find that the establishing of the African Grand Lodge of Modern Masons in Boston, Mass., among colored men in June 24, 1791, the whole work was irregular, unlawful and contrary to Masonic law. The names of the officers, that were elected at the organization of this spurious, irregular and clandestine Africu Grand Lodge, of Modern Masons, were as follows, Prince Hall, Hall, Grand Mastrir, Nero Prince, Deputy Grand Master, Cyrus, Forbes, Grand Secretary, and Peter Best, Grand Treasurer. 2. We your committee further find that according to the record it only had one Lodge that took part in this organization. This statement is also confirmed by these officers, viz: Prince Hall, and others. And this Lodge was African Lodge No. 459. Now according to Masonic law it takes not less than three subordinate lodges of orginate a legal and lawful Grand Lodge and these must hold warrants of constitution from some regular Grand Lodge that is warranted and working. Then some lawful Grand Master must preside in Masonic convention and leave his official copy of Masonic residential, official Seal on same for it to be full and regular. This Grand Master must be an acting Grand Master serving by election in full power to 30 Masonic If You Fail To Read----THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE----You May Never Know It Happened Mrs. M. G. PATTON. Following this organization in the year 1847, these same men in part met wint one, Mr. John T. Hamilton, in Masonic convention in Mass., and there again organized what is known as the F. A. A. Y. M. National, Compact. Which is now in many parts of this country. Later on we find another organization known as the American Universal Federation of Freemasons. Each and every one of the above named organizations claims to have some sort of connection with the A. F. and A. M. Scottish Rite. Every thing wants to have some thing to do with the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, Scottish Rite, but unless one will have taken the first Three Symbolic Degrees in a regular, A. F. & A. M. Lodge, holding a legal warrant from some regular Grand Lodge, known throughout the world, my friend you are still clandestine. Turning now to what may be said of the Craft look for yourselves into the true record of Masonry by Thorn burgh, page 169, which we will mention hereafter, also see page 171 of Alpha Podge, A. F. & A. M. of New Jersey which we mention hereafter. The Most Worshipful Alpha Grand Lodge Is not connected with any other Grand Lodge in the state of California, (colored). So no comment is needed to show why. Yet some will tell those who do not know, there is no difference by saying that they are both, F. & A. M. and A. F. & A. M. at the same time in carrying a two-faced application blank reading as mentioned above. Again some will attempt to carry water on both shoulders, by telling those who know not that they are both. Now no man can be both white and black at the same time. Therefore be not deceived. See Thornburgh of the history of Freemasonry, among colored men in North America, as stated by Them on page 169. In 1775 a traveling Lodge of a British Regiment stationed in Boston, Mass., conferred the degrees on Prince Hall and fourteen other Negroes and they applied to the Grand Lodge of England for authority to form a Lodge and in response to their request the Grand Lodge of England. (That was organized in the year 1739 at London on Sept. 29th, 1748, authorized the establishment of African Lodge No. 459 to work in Boston, Mass., only, with Prince Hall as Master, Boston Smith, as Senior Warden, Thomas Sanderson as Junior Warden. So says the record of Mr. Thorntburgh, that this regiment conferred the degree on Prince Hall and fourteen other Negroes. These Negroes applied to the Grand Lodge of England for a charter or authority to form a Lodge and in response to their request the Grand Lodge of England on Sept. 20, 1754, authorized the establishment of African Lodge in Boston with Prince Hall as Master. This Lodge was composed entirely of Negroes. It was not given authority to grant dispensations for the establishment of other Lodges and therefore had no right to do so. In 1813 the name of this Lodge was dropped from the roll of Lodges of England and its authority ceased. At the union of the Grand Lodges of Mass., African Lodge if it was then in existence, was not recognized by the Union Grand Lodge of Mass. Therefore by the action of the roll of Lodges of England and its by the action of the United Grand Lodge of Mass. African Lodge became Clandestine and as all the Negro Lodges of so-called Masons derived their authority from African Lodge, they are, so far as white Lodges are concerned, Clandestine and not recognized by any Grand Lodge in the United States. Mackey in his encyclopedia says of African Lodge: "This Lodge ceased its connection with the Grand Lodge of England for many years and about the beginning of the Nineteenth Century, its registration was stricken from the rolls of that Grand Lodge its legal existence in the meantime never having been recognized by the Grand Lodge of Mass, to which body it had always refused to acknowledge allegiance. After the death of Hall and his colleagues, to whom the Charter had been granted, the Lodge for want of some one to conduct its affairs, fell into abeyance, or, to use the technical phrase, became dormant. After some years it was revived but by whom or under, what process of Masonic law, is not stated, and information of the revival given to the Grand Lodge of England, but no reply or recognition from that body. After some hesitation as to what would be the proper course to pursue, the Negroes came to the conclusion, as they have themselves stated, that with what knowledge they possessed of Masonry, and as people of a color by themselves, they were and ought by right to be, free and independent of other Lodge. Accordingly on the 18, of June 1827, they issued a protocol, in which they said: We publically declare ourselves free nd independent of any Lodge from this day, and we will not be tributary or governed by any Lodge but that of our own. They soon after assumed the name of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, and issued charters for the constitution of subordinate and from it have proceeded all the Lodges of colored persons now existing in the United States except one. Admitting even the legality of the English charter of 1784—which, however, is questionable, as there was already a Masonic authority in Mass, upon whose prerogatives of jurisdiction such charter was an invasion—it cannot be denied that the misnominated self-revival of 1827, and the subsequent assumption of Grand Lodge PHONE 23074 both Prince Hall Grand Lodge and all the Lodges emanated from it, clandestine, so far as the white organizations are concerned. And this has been the unanimous opinion of all Masonic jurists, North and South, in this country. It is to the credit of the Negroes that they do not claim any connection with the white Lodges, but are a separate and independent organization." One Negro Lodge In 1871 there were several negro men in Newark, N, J., who had been made Masons in regular Lodges, perhaps in foreign countries, where such is allowed; these Negroes together with a few white Masons obtained from the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, a charter for a Lodge which was given white men who belong to this Lodge the name Alpha. It appears that the dropped out and as only Negroes joined it, it became practically a Negro Lodge. The attention of the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Miss, being called to a report of the condition of the Lodge, he addressed the following letter to the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, under date August 22, 1908. Most Worshipful Sir: I have heard that there is a Lodge in your Grand Jurisdiction composed of Negroes, and that your Grand Lodge permits the initiation and affiliation of Negroes as Masons. I wish that you would advise me if this is true. Edwin J. Martin, Grand Master. To which letter the following answer was made by the Grand Master of N. J. under date August 25, 1908. Most Worshipful Sir and Dear Bro: Yours of the 22 inst. Inquiring concerning a Lodge of Negroes in this state, received. Your information is correct. Alpha Lodge 116. A. F. & A. M. of Newark, under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of N. J. is composed almost entirely of Negroes. The Lodge was warranted on January 19, 1871, but it has never been very prosperous, and is not how so, having a total membership of only 46, there is no law in this jurisdiction, against making Negroes Masons, nor of affiliation by regular made Masons, irrespective of color. Alpha Lodge, however, is the only Lodge in this jurisdiction, that has any Negro members. There are of course, a number of so-called Negro Masonic Lodges in the state, but we do not in any wise recognize them. William JD. Wolf-skull, Grand Master. Fraternally Yours. Speaking of the A. A. O. of N., the Mystic Shrine. The Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine was instituted by Mohammedan, Kilif Alee (this name be praised, the son-in-law of the prophet Mohammet, in the year of Hegira 25: A. D. 656) at Mecca, Arabia. William J. Florence, 33 degree of New York City, while on a visit to Arabia was initiated in a temple of the Mystic Shrine in that country and the secret work of the Order was brought by him to the United States in the year 1871 and placed in the hands of Dr. Walter M. Fleming, 33 degree. Sovereign Grand Inspector General of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite and Eminent Commander of the Columbia Commandery, No. 1. Knights of Templar, of N. Y. Dr. Fleming in conjunction with William J. Florence, 33 degree with William Eddy, 33 degree and others, instituted Mecca Temple of the Mystic Shrine at N. Y. Noble Flemings was unanimously chosen as its presiding officer, namely illustrious Grand Potentate. Owing to death of four of the original Craft until 1875 when the work revived and the order spread over this country. On June 6, 1876, the parent body was formed for America etc. The above referred to speaks of the white Shrine. Now for the A. A. O. of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of Chicago. III. the Mystic Shrine of Chicago, III. III. John G. Jones, 33 degree Sovereign Grand Commander of the United Supreme Council of the Southern and Western Masonic Jurisdiction. United States of America, after several years of correspondence, made application to the Grand Council of Arabia to be initiated into the work, and power and authority to institute Temples in the United States. His application having been received and accepted, in June, 1893, in the city of Chicago, Noble Rofelt, Pasha, Deputy of the Grand Council of Arabia and acting under the authority of the Grand Council of Arabia, and assisted with three other Nobles, with imposing ceremonies at the Masonic-Hall, conferred the degree of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine upon him, and gave him a patent of power and authority to confer the degree of the Mystic Shrine, institute Temples and organize the Grand Imperial Councils, and be the Imperial Grand Potentate of the Imperial Grand Council in the United States of America. Noble John G. Jones, 33 degree, of Chicago, is the only Mason and Shriner, either white or black, in North and South America, who has hte exclusive and legitimate right, power and authority to institute Temples of the Mystic Shrine work in this country. Noble John G. Jones, 33 degree, was the first and only colored Mason in the United States who has power and authority to confer the Mystic Shrine degree and institute Temples in the United States and all Mystic Shrine degree work in North and South America, and unless it is done under his sanction of power and authority, it is spurious, clandestine and bogus. It may be here stated that no authority was ever given to Noble Wil- liam I. Warren, or his entwins who were associated with him who were all prominent white Moors in the State of New York under the Temples or form their Imperial Grand Council in the United States, from Grand Council of Arabia or any other source in Arabia, and they have been compelled to acknowledge the same to be true, that they never had any power whatever to do any work. LAST, BUT NOT LEAST Now to the Lawful Craft of the State of California, and of the M. W. W. Alpha, G. L. You Craftmen, assembled, who the white apron wear. Who meet on the level, and part on the square. With the square and the Compass, to counsel and guide. You may traverse this earth, with a feeling of pride. And with smiles on your face, that a clear conscience brings. You may shake hands with Princes, and sit down with Kings. Be the land-marks unharmed, that for ages have stood. When the fire and the sword, swept the earth like a flood. Protected and watched by the ALL-Seeing EYE; Heart rooted they stand, and time's changes defy. At the Alter you kneel, where your fathers have knelt. Where the proud and the strong into tenderness melt. So firm and enduring, that man cannot sever. Is that Mystical tie, that now binds you forever. As you stand by these Masons and weep. With feelings of gladness, all loving and tender and deep. Oh, forget not, the wants of his desolate hearth, Nor the dear tender ties, that once bound him to earth. Go: kind sympathy, visit that foreside of grief. And if want should be found, there carry speedy relief. Do not give, as you would to the indigent poor. Who may tremblingly stand, and beg alms at your doro. Should the feelings of evil, your wild passions fire. Let moral strength triumph, and wisdom inspire. Gaining virtue, and beauty, as down that sure path. That must lead you to Glory and Heaven at last. Sermon by Lil. Dr. J. M. Young, 32 degree. Subject, "Masonic Thanksgiving Sermon." Text, Psa. 136:1-2-3 verses. Master of Ceremonies. Ill. Worshipful Grand Master of the Alpha Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. Scottish Rite., W. M's Wardens, Brethren of Masonic Lodges an members of the Order of the Eastern Star. In obedience to the Supreme Architect of the Universe, we are in the Temple once more assembled in our first semi-annual sermon of the above named Lodges, and Order of the Eastern Star. Under the jurisdiction of our Grand Lodge, to celebrate our Thanksgiving and St. John's festivities. The text very beautifully sets forth the power and strength of union. This entire Psa. is a brief Encomium of Unavianity arithmetically. Love. It is thought that David penned this Psalm on the occasion of the union of the tribes, at which time he was made King of Israel. It leaves a message of splendid service to all societies, great and small, secret or benvolent, social or sacred, and it benefits the communion of the saints. (1) Give Thanks unto GOD for His infinite Goodness; provision; (2) His Goodness in protection; (3) His Goodness as set forth in the plan of Salvation; (4) For GOD so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth on him might not perish, but have everlasting life; (5) Give thanks unto GOD for Goodness in material creation. The Earth, with its production of food, (2) its treasures in jewels, in minerals, in Gold, in Diamonds, and Rubles. For animals, wild and tame. For the sea with its innumerable contents. The refreshing air, with its feathered population, (3) Give thanks unto GOD for national peace and prosperity, and multiplied numbers of our nation, (4) Give thanks unto GOD for the principles of the A. F. & A. M. Grand Lodge and its world wide promulgation, benefits, and blessings, for which we give thanks, unto him; from whom all gifts and blassings flow, (5) Oh give thanks unto GOD for the Order of the Eastern Star, for the virtues set forth in its five points; and for the distinctive colors and the emblems, first Ada, in blue, symbolizes Fidelity. It teaches unfading Love. (2) Ruth robed in yellow symbolises ripened grain—harvesting, reaping—Industry. (3) Esther, robed in white symbolizes purity, faithfulness to kindred and friends—Jeopardizes her life in saving her people from impending death. (4) Martha arrayed in green is a living illustration of faith in the hour of trial and death. A woman of high rupee and noble parentage. (5) Master robed in red stands as an emblem of charity—Gave her wealth to the poor. Setting forth devine mercy. J. P.

ALBERTA HUNTER SINGS DOWN HEARTED BLUES" A. B. JUDKINS 1152 Central Ave. ANDERSON Decorator ing and Paperhanging - - 1220 So. Hobart Blvd. LOS ANGELES, CAL Emerson said, "Thought is the seed of action." Proverbs says, "As a man thinketh, so is he." The only reason in this world why we, as a race have not been more closely drawn together is, because we are on the wrong road through ignorance of four inherent mental power; which fully realized and developed, would put us up with the world power instead of being as we are now weaklings among the races. We think, "it can't be done," consequently, we are bumping our heads against the prison walls of Race Prejudice, and will continue to do so, just as long as we look for some power outside of ourselves to liberate us. We now, are expecting the impossible. Our freedom will come only from within the race, by the process of scientific, positive, sober, common sense, thought, action, and the most simple method. The race must be organized. Its members must be taught organization and co-operation. In order to do this, there must be an organization. In purpose it must meet the needs of the race. For an organization to do these things, or meet the various needs of the race, it must have a program. In its present complicated form the race problem cannot be solved by any scheme in which the selling of shares, stock, or bonds is the predominating feature; neither can any one man, set, or group of men, solve it. It is going to take you, me, every member of this race, and "then some" to solve it. The great minds of other races are being brought together, so must ours, or Negro minds must be prepared to accept a great reform. The parent body of this organization then, must be made up of several divisions. There must be at the head of each division, a man or woman who has prepared himself, or herself, and chosen a particular line as a life's work; whether it be newspaper work, law, politics, or anyone of the many human endeavors. The program then, must be so constructed as to create a place, and place each one of the organization members in his or her rightful place. More than that, to have something to offer the people, is not enough at this time; but to interest all the people, an organization must be able to render them a real service, by seeking them out and laying at their feet, an industrial, political and religious education with an opportunity to gain happiness, prosperity and contentment by working at the thing he, or she, may have studied, trained or fitted himself or herself for and would love to do. Now then, we write you, because we are thoroughly convinced that the program we have planned and written, if put into action and carried out, would afford you and each nad every one of us, these things for which we have prayed, looked and pleaded for, namely an equal opportunity, a chance to raise the galling yoke of the oppressor. With your assistance, influence, talent, knowledge and information there can be built the foundation of an organization right here that will astound the world. The race stands in dire need of young force and will-power, strength of character and uplifting influence, harmonized with other strong ones, that the weak ones may be used to a high level. let a better understanding may app up between members of our group, also that men of all races and nations of the earth may be drawn into a closer relationship, one with the other, will you join such a movement as this? If so, answer the ell when a meeting is announced. The average Negro uses only a tenth part of his brain. "That is why we are treated so." Let's you and me know the value of thought and are willing to use our brain, start a stream of thought through this race of ours that will clear the mud of superstition, fear and ignorance out of the brain and turn the trick. The world is expecting it, of us. American Negro, Why wait longer? Twelve million Negroes are anxiously waiting for this sort of an organization and program, you will get their support. It was David, with a new thought that caused Goliath to lose his head. Christ came with a fine of new thought and the plan of salvation was simplified and made easy. He also said, "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me." Our only salvation for elevation, is Christ, Love and Thought. P. S. You notice nothing has been said here about money. We are in the firm belief that if the brain of this race can be harnessed so as to work double, money and all other things will follow. Brain action is worth more to the race now, than anything else.

Lightner, Pastor. Pastor Lightner occupied the pulpit at both services the past Sunday at his church. At the morning hour he gave a Christmas message using as his theme: "The Message of the Angeles." At the evening hour he used as his text: "Upon this rock I'll build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Four persons united with the church at the close of the morning service. The children of the Sunday School presented a splendid program Saturday night, following which presents were distributed from the Tree which was laden with good things. The coming Sunday, being the last of the year will have good things in store for us. The pastor will fill the pulpit at both services. Following the regular evening service there will be an intermission during which the congregation will have a social hour, and light refreshments will be served. Beginning at 11:00 o'clock a watch night service will be held, extending a little beyond 12:00 o'clock. You are cordially invited to worship with us at all times. The First A. M. E. Zion Church can boast of the best Christmas they have had in years. On last Sunday morning the Christmas sermon was preached by the pastor. "Glory to God in the Highest and On Earth Peace, Good Will to Men." The choir rendered a beautiful cantata-"Yule-tide Memories." Sunday evening, Professor Bynum and Miss Hazel Gottchalk have a right to be proud of their work. Every number was a success. On Monday evening the Sunday School had their Christmas exercises. The tree was laden with goodies and toys and gifts for everyone. But there was another Christmas tree and $100 dangled from its branches for the A. M. E. Zion Church. Thanks to Rev. J. H. Miller and members of the Bible Class. The pastor and wife were not forgotten by Santa either and a table laden with gifts by the members was gladly received and appreciated by them.

COTHRAN, Minister Last Lord's Day was indeed a great day for this church. The worship was highly inspirational. Our minister spoke upon the birth of Christ. The words of his text were these—Glory to God in the Highest and on earth peace, good will toward men, Luke 2:14. He declared that here the angels pronounced God's design for the peace and happiness of the human race. At 8 p. m. the Choir presented the children of the Bible School in a Xmas Cantata. The Choir rendered excellent numbers and the children played their parts well. Next Lord's Day being the last of 1922, a Home Coming is urged upon each member of the church. The minister will preach at 11 a.m. upon the Great Commission and Sister C. C. Pope of Culver City, organizer of the W. C. M. Society, will be present and will speak to the women of the church.

Dinner will be served—the gospel preached—and souls made to rejoice—ALL FREE! Such and other countless gifts and countless gifts and commodities has continued to flow through our doors bringing smiles to the tearful, relief to the suffering and uplifting the aged. Zion rejoiced last Sunday while Rev. Rev. Shockly talked there was great manifestation of the holy spirit. St. John 3:16—"Christianity." The work of the Choir was amazing singing as it seemed with their souls; sending tears into every heart with their able conductor. THE FIRST AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH 8th and Towne Ave. Rev. A.

Watts Pastor's Wife Laid to Rest in Kansas HIGH TRIBUTE OF RESPECT PAID DECEASED With impressive ceremony, services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at Calvary Baptist Church over the remains of Mrs. Louis Stewart Flemings wife of the Referend John A. Flemings, pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church of Watts, Calif., who died at a hospital in Pasadena, California recently. At 2:30 o'clock the large auditorium of Calvary Church was well filled with a representative group Member of the ROT of citizens of the community from all walks of life, who had gathered to pay the last rites of respect to a woman who was born and reared in Wichita from girlhood thru all phases of a minister's wife and retained her gifip upon the hearts of many and gained a high place in the social, civic and religious life of California. The funeral processional was played by Mrs. Ora Carter as the casket under the escort of the Reverends John Wesley Hayes and J. E. Douglas followed by the several mourners moved slowly up to the altar of the church where the remains lie in state during the service. Following a hymn by Calvory Choir to which was added the voice of Marie Fines, director of St. Paul Choir under the direction of Mrs. G. Gertrude Walton; Rev. B. C. Rannavalona as master of ceremony presented Rev. J. H. Van Lieu, state missionary of the Kansas Baptist State Convention, who led the opening prayer. Rev. E. T. Fishback, pastor of the New Hope Baptist Church read the various resolutions from Sunday Schools; Womans' Mission Circles; The G. L. A. Club of Wichita; and letters of condolence from the Rev. J. R. Ransom of Topeka and others from various sections of the country. The Rev. W. C. Cartwright, secretary of the Kansas State Baptist Convention read a resolution from the Wichita Colored Ministrial League and Mrs. G. Gertrude Walton one from the Mission Circle and Calvary Baptist Church of which Mrs. Matilda Clark, mother of the deceased sister is an active member. Following the reading of resolutions and a selection by the choir, the Rev. J. E. Douglas, pastor of St. Mary Baptist Church read the Scripture lesson from Philippians 1:21-30. Miss Nettie Fay Oliver next rendered a touching vocal selection after which the Rev. Fishback read the obituary followed by the funeral discourse which was delivered by the Rev. John Wesley Hayes, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church. Selecting as a text Philippians 1:21: "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Rev. Hayes delivered a brief but impressive discourse in which he highly commended the loyal, faithful Christian efforts of the deceased in her work as a minister's wife for her God and humanity by which her life had been a force in all circles which it touched both in Kansas and California. Following the discourse Rev. Fishback paid a touching tribute to the dead after which the vast congregation viewed the remains while Mrs. Thomas H. Yancey rendered a touching vocal selection, as only she can. With a bonediction by Rev. Rannavalona while the congregation remained seated the cortex under the escort of ministers left the church as soft strains of "Flee As A Bird To Your Mountain" pealed forth from the church organ. Burial was made at Highland Cemetery, where the burial service was conducted by the Reverends Fishback, Hayes and Rannavalona. Thus closed the final chapter in a life which all in Wichita, had learned to revere due to her high Christian ideals and the exceptional charm of her many efforts in the interests of the Christian church.

A goodly number in attendance at both morning and evening services. The pastor, Rev. H. B. Thomas, took for his morning subject, "The Quality of Church Officers." While the evening subject was, "The Deacon's last prayer." As the time is at hand for the election of officers, the pastor explained in his discourse how a pastor could be left open to the criticisms of the public by not having an efficient official board in the discharge of their duty. Each member was told of their duties toward each other. He has always brought to our minds and hearts the greatest of all commandments, "that ye love one another as Christ has also loved us." We trust that the coming year will witness success under wise and careful leadership. At the close of the evening sermon there was one addition to the church. Mr. William Burilson of Los Angeles has left our city to the regret of all who formed an acquaintance with him while here. Brother Burilson was a member of Mt. Olive and an active worker while here in the church. Mr. D. Paterson late of Stockton, Calif., has taken up his residence here in this city. Mr. Paterson is a musician and an evangelistic revivalist and will find a welcome here in our city. Mr. J. R. Norwood has returned from his trip in which he toured the principal cities in the Northern part of the state. He reports an interesting and enjoyable time. He brought with him a barber, who can be located at 18 E. Cota Street. Mr. Cecil Price was made in the Masonic lodge of this city and is now a full fledged member and brother. Mr. and Mrs. Hart were the motif for a Turkey dinner on last Sunday evening in their home. Covers were laid for six and a six course dinner was served. Those enjoying their hospitality were Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Cower, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Price and the host and hostess. Those reported on the sick list are much improved at this writing. The weather has cleared up and we are looking forward to having good weather for the New Year. Both churches are having their programs on Sunday night and the Christmas tree's Monday night or Christmas night. Mr. C. C. Price is suffering considerable pain from having a tooth extracted and the dentist broke it off on last Monday. He is resting quietly at present and we hope no bad results from the operation.

Entertainment, religious services and various exercises have been provided and all in an appropriate way bespeak the spirit of the season's celebration. An audience that more than taxed the lappacity of the school auditorium witnessed an excellent program Saturday night and shared in the community Christmas tree. The tree and the treats for all the children had been made possible by the Second Baptist A. M. E. and C. M. E. Sunday Schools. The program consisted of selections by the School Orchestra; the singing of Christmas Carols; a play entitled, "In Santa Claus Land." Sunday Dec. 24, the children of all nationalities and creeds were dinner guests of the management of the Barbara Worth. Over 225 partook of Mr. and Mrs. Conway's hospitality. Following a treat from Santa Claus, the entire company headed by El Centro's Boy's Band, marched to the Palace Theater and there as guests of the manager, Mr. Cook, witnessed a splendid show. The Elks were host Christmas Day and served in a most generous way. The Sunday School of the Second Baptist Church rendered a literary and musical program Sunday evening. Misses Lucile Catley and Ruth Travers are spending the holidays with relatives in Los Angeles. Miss Ruby. Berkeley left last Saturday morning for a visit with friends and relatives in Los Angeles.

Mrs. Mattie Scott Nelson was elected Secretary of the organization.

On two former occasions the Coleridge-Taylor Music Club presented to the people of Los Angeles HIWAATHA, a musical composition by Coleridge-Taylor. The attendance upon those concerts convinced us that our people love their great men, are proud of their accomplishments, and are contributors to and supporters of all movements instituted for purposes of education. It is not generally known, that each of the HIWATHA productions cost the club a sum approximating one thousand dollars. All financial, as well as moral obligations were assumed by persons who lay no claim to professional or semi-professional ability: they possessed many fine spirits, namely a willingness to work hard, a disposition to sacrifice for the good of others, and a generosity found only among those whose love of race has marked them as belonging to the progressive and aggressive type of Negro. They love art. All their work has been in his interest and furtherance of art. No eye was singled to the highest possible profits that might be derived from the work of the club. Some have been promised fixed sums to the date set for these concerts but they waived all claims for the justification of art and to demonstrate their love for the members of their race who are doing things. Uerhaps our failures in th past were due to the fact that we labored for twelve months to produce a single work of Coleridge-Taylor and then presented it one night only. If the actual cost of production is presumably one thousand dollars, and, if the proceeds for one evening's entertainment is a like amount, then there is only one benefit derived from a whole year's work of intensive rehearsing and sacrificing; another musical contribution has been given to the community. In defense of art this result would justify the existence of an organization as is the Coleridge-Taylor Music Club, but it does not compensate those whose enegris have been exerted in pursuit of music as a profession and who are wholly dependent upon it for existence. The sad part is that it furnishes no inspiration or means for perpetuating th study of music or any other art, either individually or collectively. NOTICE If the person who took the purse from Bruce Drug Store belonging to Mrs. S. Cole will return same to 1116 Dewey Ave. or phone Wilshire 65561, no questions will be asked of them, or no trouble caused for them. JUDGE CCNKLIN OF EL CENTRO Perhaps there are some of our people who do not know that Judge Conklin is presiding in Judge Shenk's court during his vacation. Judge Conklin has made many strong friends among our people since his election to the Superior Bench. Many of those who were opposed to his election are now his most ardent admirers. The Judge is all right; a big man in a big position, dealing out even-handed justice to all regardless of race, color condition or creed. We wish the Judge a Merry Christmas.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN After quite a vacation Madison Square Garden opened up on last Wednesday night to a fair sized crowd to witness a splendid card consisting of 44-round bouts. The Main Event that was to be failed to take place on account of the act that Kid Mexico had a broken and and could not go on with Mack House. Cyclone Williams was substituted and made a really good showing against the hard hitting younger Mack House.

Semi Wind-Up This match betwixt Hobo Alexander and Frankie Monroe was a tame affair. Monroe was too good for the Hobo. The referee stopped the fight in the third stanza to save the Hobo unnecessary punishment. The best go of the evening was the battle between Ted Frenchie and Blackie Rice, the battle was fast and furious, no let up for the full four rounds, both boys fought and fought hard at the end the decision was a draw. This decision was a just one and the only one that could have been given, or otherwise the shade would have been given to Frenchie, who was the aggressor throughout. This Rice boy however is a dangerous competitor and will yet be the top notcher in these parts. Charlie Howard beat Kid Smith in four rounds. Young Ford again took the short end of a go with the Boy Wonder by being knocked out in the 1st round. Allen Gibs gave a good lacing to the Zulu Kid in four rounds of boxing.

With the passing of the Old Year giving thanks for the blessings of life and being spared to witness the incoming of another year, it would not be amiss to eschew all the untoward and now progressive tendencies which have clung to us and start in, that the year 1923 will truly be the year of progress, the year of accomplishments and the year of true cooperation for the ultimate salvation of the race. Down in Louisiana it seems that the Ku Klux Klan is nearly at the jumping off place or in other words they are in "Hawka" hands. We trust the police department will put the vag squad in action and clean up those who refuse to work and also take a slant at the Chinese Lottery sharks who are running wild at this time. We appreciate very much the appreciation and congratulations extended for our holiday number of last issue. On half of our hustling force wish to thank you again and again. THE ARBUCKLE CASE. The case of Fatty Arbuckle who has been re-instated in the movies by Will Hayes, supreme director of the great movie industry, is attracting nation wide attention. The very same forces which will gag at gnats and swallow camels are the ones which are doing their utmost to keep the jovial and good-humored comedian down. A jury of his peers heard his case and acquitted him of a charge which nobody believed him guilty of. He paid the price of his indiscretion, has been down in sack cloth and ashes and the minister, such as Bob Schuler and Rev. Breible want him kept down. Unlike the Savior, they will not forgive one time much less the seventy times seven. Oh shades of the night when will the day come when man will be just to his fellowman, and all shall have the opportunity to be lifted up should they stumble or fall. THE KU KLUX KLAN AND THE NEGRO It seems that the Invisible Empire is beginning to make at least an impression on the Negro church. The Negro preacher seems to think that it is God's plan for this hellish organization to wage war on the Catholic church, and the Jews, and that through this medium the Negro will be able to take his place as a citizen in this country when the battle is over; but this argument falls lightly on those who listened to some with this doctrine of hope during the pre-war period. How well grounded in our minds is the picture of that black phalanx wending its way from the bloody battle ground of France. Upon their foreheads we see in shining letters the word Courage and stamped across each breast in letters red like blood we read the word Man and softly, as with one voice, we hear them humming, alas—"My Country 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty, of Thee we Sing." But the scene is changed, in scare crow headlines we read in the dailies of our country If You Fail To Read----THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE----You May Never Know It Happened that a returned soldier has been lynched in Georgia, and too we realize that mob violence is as much in evidence now as it was before we went to France, half a million strong to fight for Democracy, hence we cannot agree with our preacher brother that the reorganization of the Ku Klux Klan is destined to give the Negro absolute freedom. Too well do we remember why this organization was born and too well do we realize that so long as there is a Klan there will be mob violence and if we abhor unlawful punishment for ourselves, then we do not advocate it for Jews and Catholics. There should be one law for all black and white, Jew and Catholic.

The battle was spectacular throughout, but was a run away for our "Bear Cats" after the 6th frame. It opened up like a real moundman's struggle with Fred Bench shooting 'em for the pale faces, and left winged Jay Bell doing duty for Manager Cobb's performers. The Cox brothers opened hostilities in the second when Deck Cox homed and that was all for six sessions as Jay allowed them but one hit and smote 6 of the batsmen where they stood. Jay Bell was the feature of the day drawing first blood for his followers with a 4 ply swat in the third and three singles out of 4 times at the plate, his first and only bingles since his arrival West.

Brooks announces that as soon as the Madison Square boxing shed can be covered sufficiently to keep out the cold wintry weather he will re-open with renewed vigor, and the class of entertainment presented will be of the highest caliber obtainable. With a roof on the famous Long Leach Ave. Show house, there will be little else the fans could want for and the re-opening is awaited anxiously. BILLY TUCKER MAKING DUNBAR SHOW HOUSE FAMOUS "Rag Time" Billy Tucker is certainly doing his stuff at the Dunbar joy emporium at 10th and Central these days as manager and performer, and Billy knows his lines too. His musical comedy of last week, the Dixieland Follies in "The Avenue Sheik" with Billy taking the lead was a scream and the audience simply howled. This and next week's attractions are sure to be well attended as the company of six jolly and pretty girls and as many males are up to the minute actors and actresses and have a future. WILLS-DEMPEY or WILLS-FIRPO? BOTH GOOD Damon Runyon, the famous New York sport writer is surely doing his best to coax either champion Jack Dempsey or the South American gladiator, Luis Angel Firpo, to sign articles for a little wrist slapping engagement with the much dodged Harry Wills, on May 12th. NO TASTE FOR HARRY Durnig the past three years the heavy white hopes have been very shifty on their feet, and have skillfully dodged the "Brown Panther" from New Orleans. Such so-called heavy weight contenders as Tom Gibbons, Jack Renault and a few others are known to have refused to stay in the same town with Wills. For a long while Harry camped only on Dempsey's trail, but the champ seemed to enjoy his title too well to monkey with the "Black Death," so Will is now begging for exercise among the second and third raters. Luis Angel Firpo, the other one of the trio of real heavies isn't to be blamed for holding out for a return go with the champion, as Dempsey recently stated that he plans to take on Gibbons, Firpo and Wills in order named during 1924, and then retire. ANCELL BULLER BEATS MIDGET HEFFLIN AND ELLERBY George Ellerbe and Bill Hoffner were the boys that broke up the show with the biggest and rarest kick ever put on in this city "just ask 'em". Some of the good timers stuffed their pockets full of those long black 25 centers which they had never sucked on before, and were dizy. The feed and "soft drinks" were in abundance and everybody got a square meal that was unusual. Merriment was at its highest about 1 a.m. Ss you can guess when they were "taken home—some stag." B. P. O. ELKS' ANNUAL SMOKER A KNOCK OUT The birds who failed to scramble into the hall at Washington and Central last Wednesday night are indeed ignorant of many pleasant things. The program that was hung up may some day be tied, "but will never be beaten", take it from us. There were dramatic selections, speeches, sketches, readings, all with a man's kick to them, and then there was that hot three session boxing match which set the sardine packed house wild, but listen! SMITH IN GOTHAM Midget Smith, one of the whitest of the white bantam weight battlers and among the best top-notchers in the country, met his master last Saturday night at the commonwealth Sporting Club's crowded show in New York, when the Harlem colored bantam, Kid Buller, 119 1-2 pounds, battered Smith for ten rounds to a popular decision. The third round found the Midget almost out at the count of nine, something few of his opponents have ever done, and marks a future for Buller as matches will have to come his way and a chance at the crown will doubtlessly follow soon. where he had been reared and trained has raced in all parts of the world, is now matched to compete in the six-day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden, New York, the first colored man in twenty-five years to enter.
