PHONE 150-44 VOL.36 WANT NO BLACK MAMMY MONUMENT VOL.36 Nevel H. Thomas has opened up a vigorous campaign against the erection of a statue in Washington on government property in honor of the "black mammy" by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. "Why, should our inveterate enemies suddenly want to do something for us," he says. "The same section of our country that wishes to raise this monument raises mountains of obstacles across the path of Negro progress." He as addressed an open letter to the Washington Star in reply to its espousal of the project, to the leaders of the United States Senate, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the New York World. "The white people who pay such glowing tribute to the divine virtues of loyalty and truth which the "black mammy" possessed in abundance, overlook that other divine virtue which was her offspring, Mr. Thomas continues. "Her patient sacrifice of self was in the hope that the conscience of her country would awake and give justice to her posterity. Every "black mammy" looks down from Heaven upon this disordered world is pained at the disordered of her mistress and master, and the infinite suffering her offspring must endure in their struggle upward her best friendships. She delights her best friendships, filling aspiring and attaining into the beautiful and the true in spite of the handicap which the Southern spirit seems to erect this monument has thrown about them, filling positions of usefulness, taking honors in the leading universities in the land, and reigning over cultured homes, not as "black mammy," but as devoted wives and loving mothers. Democracy is the monument that the noble "black mammy" wants erected to her, and not this marble shaft which can only be a symbol of servitude to teach white and black alike that the menial callings are the Negro's place in the scheme of things." "We fear the Greeks, though bearing gifts." OPEN LETTER January 22, 1923. Mrs. C. A. Bass, Editor. THE EAGLE. 824 Central Ave.. Los Angeles, Cal. My dear Mrs. Bass: I feel that you will be interested in letting the public have a brief resume of the achievements of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History during the past year. I am, therefore, sending you today an extract setting forth the most important facts in the annual report of the Director. Anything which you may do to give this publicity will be greatly appreciated by the undersigned. The appropriation of $25,000 obtained from the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial requires the employment of investigators to develop the studies of the Free Negro Prior to 1861 and of Negro Reconstruction History. The annual allowance of $5,000 is devoted altogether to this work, inasmuch as special instructions received from the Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial prohibit the use of this money for any other purpose. The Association has, therefore employed Dr. George Francis Davy to read the eighteenth century treatise on the Negro in England, C. G. Woodson to make a story of the Free Negro Prior to 1861. A A. Taylor to study the Social and Economic Conditions of the Negro during the Reconstruction, and a clerk serving the investigators in the capacity of a copyist. At present Mr. A. A. Taylor is spending only one-half of his time at this work, but after the first of next June he will have the opportunity to direct his attention altogether to this task. During this year it is expected that he will be involved in the Social and Economic Conditions in Virginia and South Carolina. In the study of the Free Negro the Director has spent the year compiling a statistical report giving the names of free Negroes who were heads of families in the South in 1880 showing the number in each family and the number of players owned. Within a few months that part of the report dealing with Louisiana, South Carolina and North Carolina will be completed. The Association is also directing attention to the work of training men for research in this field. The program agreed upon is to educate in its best graduate schools with libraries containing works bearing on Negro life and history as best those young men a year, supported by fellowships of 500 from the Association and each additional stipend as the schools themselves may give for the support of the undertaking. One of these students will take on the study of the pre-1880 life and will give him his stance on the importance of Fortune and the importance of success. He will attend Academy and Academy in the undertaking the GEORGIA GOVERNOR SPEAKS OUT GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA URGES THE KU KLUX KLAN TO UNMASK It has become known that Gov. Hardwick of Georgia is not a Klanman as many thought when he was running for office. He approves of the order but objects to their regalia, especially their masks. He has suggested to the order that they change, their robes, leave off their masks and keep a list of the names of their members. Now it is said that unless the Klan unmasks he will recommend to the legislature that the wearing of masks be made unlawful in the State. “There is no room for an invisible government in this State,” said the Governor. “So long as I am Governor and can prevent it we shall not have it either from the Kimbal House or Klan palace, or the U. S. Capitol at Washington.” The following letter was written by the Governor to W. W. Rainey of Columbus, Georgia and made public July 10th. It was written in reply to a letter from Mr. Rainey indorsing Mr. Hardwick for another term. The effect of Governor Hardwick’s opposition will be watched with much interest. Already it has called forth some criticism. Dr. Caleb H. Ridley, a preacher of the sensational type, who likes to take part in any discussion that will bring him into the limelight announced Tuesday, July 11 th that he intends to answer in his sermon next Sunday night, Governor Hardwick's office calls on the Kn Klu Klux Klan to unmask Dr. Ridley leaves Atlanta next Monday for a two month's tour of California and Oregon in the interest of the Klan. "My Dear Mr. Rainny: "Pressure of public business and a slight illness have combined to delay my reply to your letter of the fourth instant. Please accept my excuses for the delay, which has been unavoidable, in the circumstances. "First and foremost of all, let me assure you of my deep and sincere appreciation of your letter. 'Ill is the letter of a real man, and I value it and respect it as such. "So far as past differences of opinion between us are concerned, they do not count at all with me, and I am so glad to see that they do not with you. "Individual judgment is the crown jewel of liberty, and it is the glory of this republic that its citizens may honestly differ with one another without losing either respect or regard for each other. I never have bitterness of either mind or heart on questions of this sort. I am never concerned about honest past differences of opinion. The question with me is, not the quarrel of yesterday, but the duties of today and the responsibilities of tomorrow. "I quite agree with you laso that we should not be intolerant, even, towards - honest, law-abiding members of the Ku Klux Klan. There are many honest people who are in it and who went into it with the highest and most patriotic motives for its creed and principles are patriotic and unassailable; outrages by mobs of masked men by members in this state, however, and these performances must be checked. It is my earnest hope that the leaders of this organization may promptly realize the necessity for discarding the mask and for removing all secrecy about their membership list. Law Threatened "Unless they do, it will be necessary in the interest of the public and of law and order, to take strong steps to make the wearing of mask criminal in this state and I shall unhesitatingly advise and recommend such a course to our general assembly. "We have no room for invisible government in this state. So long as I am governor and can prevent it we shall not have it, either from the Kimball house, or the Klan, or the United States capitol at Washington. At any rate, I shall do all in my power to combat it from whatever source it may come. Whatever were the excuses for the frat Ku Klix Klan and they were strong and numerous—there are some for any klan of a similar character operating to enforce their own opinions and to execute their own desires, outside of the law not be tolerated by the honest man and woman of this state and I do not believe it will be tolerated by them. "Permit me, in conclusion, to again express my earnest and sincere prelation of your latter and of my largest purpose to continue in unity Georgia the very best government of which I am capable, to stand for law and order and security, and to save man from nothing in the administration of our state's affairs. In any instance, absolutely regardless of all mankind."

Taking Advantage of Molded Baition in Europe, Tripoli, Tripolians Strike Ii ow for Fowr (Crusader *Svruc*) ROME, Feb. 18.—Italy is fused with another colonial war in Tripoli. During the World War, owing to the pressing demand for troops on the Austrian front, Italy武力 obliged to withdraw a large part of her forces from Tripoli, thus gradually losing her hold on the colony, and having to content herself with the possession of the coast towns. The first column, which advanced from Taguire, has been wiped out by the native revolutionists and the rest of the Italian forces are menaced as a result of this initial disaster. A second column is advancing from Homs. The third column is advancing from Elazimism directly to Tarhuma. The fourth must guard the right flank of the whole expedition and is advancing from Gharian. All four columns have encountered considerable resistance, but especially the first nad third, which have been engaged in several bloody encounters with the Arabs. The first column was annihilated near Cair Careb. The third column attacked the Arabs in entrenched positions near Sidi Bu Arga and obliged them to retreat after a hot fight, leaving thirty dead.

RUNS DOWN GIIRL; NEARLY LYNCHED Colored Driver Saved by Two Spectators from Threatening Crowd. (Crusader Service) NEW YORK, Feb. 16. — After he had driven an automobile upon the sidewalk and run down a four-year-old girl last evening, James Mall, 29, colored, of 525 West 147th Street, was threatened by an angry crowd whose attack was staved off only by the prompt action of two men who protected him, until the police arrived. Mall was locked up in the West 135 Street Station, charged with felonious assault and driving an automobile while intoxicated. Mary Morris the child whom he ran down, was not seriously injured and was taken to her home, 247 West 130 Street, after Dr. Harlem Hospital had examined her. The child was playing on the sidewalk in front of her home when the automobile struck her. Mall is said to have jumped from the machine and attempted to escape. He was seized by several bystanders, who were threatening to beat him when John Cogen of 135 West 128th Street and John Praecy of 204 West 121st Street interfered and stood off the crowd until patrolmen John Tooker of the West 135th Street Station arrived. French Communists Aid Africans in Fight for Liberty See Strong Revolutionary Movement In North Africa—Rap French Imperialist Policies. PARIS, Feb. 16.—The following article sent to you translated is from the "Tribune" of January 18. The "Tribune is the slogan of the Dutch Communist Party. The article indicates the vast extent on which Communist work among the Negro population of the world is being planned: WHO ARE "COLONIAL SOLDIERS" The new program of action of the French Communist party includes an intensive propaganda among the Colonial peoples. Our comrade A. Key writes: "The colonial peoples were called upon by France and England to fight for right and Freedom. France has spoken in strong terms to its human reserves of N. Africa, Senegal, Soudan, Madagascar and French India. She has made beautiful promises to her colonial slaves. The peoples of Asia had even hoped to secure oustments but all these illiterate jongles were defeated. The yoke of the Mother/land has had no precedence. North Africa especially is under a reign of terror; the European monarchs are outlawed, their mails are opened, their press is often tied up, they are personally manhandled. "In this manner they store the best lands of the nation, formed thus over as concessions to colonies or gave them to private companies having great political influence: the Geneva company, for instance 40,000 acres of the best land. "Revolts occurred repeatedly, the most violent in 1871, when the natives made attempts to throw off the yoke, but unorganised, these rebellions were drowned in blood and the oppression became worse. "In 1910-11, the distress was so great that part of the natives migrated to Turkish-Syria. But the administration stopped the migration of many by means of violence, because these cheap slaves had no right to leave their masters. Besides, the outside world must not know that France is an oppressor. But the facts speak for themselves. Then came the great World War, which was to have freed the oppressed peoples! "The unhappy, native, from the ages of 17 to 30 years were compelled to serve the 'Mother-land' France, and without any counter-performance, to execute the hardest duty of a citizen. "In spite of their religious beliefs they were, inadar as it concerned wearing the knapsack and offering themselves to be shot, fullfledged French citizens, but this equality is unknown in regard to education and voting. "Yet all this wretchedness had one good feature: Many natives, soldiers and laborers, once in France, came immediately in touch with the workers there, and learned something of the idea of the glass struggle and learned to realize their own interests and rights, which they will soon as Chicago Millionaire To Sue Ku Klux Klan (Crusader Service) CCHICAGO, Feb. 26.—William Wrigley Jr. announced tonight that he will take action tomorrow against Tolerance; the organ of the American Unity League, which is fighting the Ku Klux Klan by publishing lists of the Klan's members. The league organ had published a supposed application for membership to the Klan by the millionaire gum maker, an application bearing a signature which Mr. Wrigley says is a "rank forgery and about as near like mine as is the North Pole like Vesuvius." KLAN NIGHT RIDERS PRECEDED RULE OF MOB HARRIS, Ark.Feb. 16—(Crusader Service) Although members of the Committee of Twelve have persistently denied any connection between the Ku Klux Klan and the expulsion, hanging and whipping of railroad strikers, it was learned today that the Klan fogged a man here at night two and a half weeks before the committee suddenly came to life, Jan. 16th. About midnight of December 28, four men, completely covered by white hoops and robes, which bore the black circle and red cross of the Klan on the breast, entered the bedroom of L. M. Davis, a cook in the restaurant of W. W. Wilson here. There followed a rough, wild ride for two and one half miles. At an old railroad embankment he was dragged out. "They said they was the Klan," said Davis today. "They told me to take down my clothes, and then they laid me over the embankment and whipped me. Each of them took a lick. They had a leather sleep. It hurt abpiling. After they got through whipping me they told me to go on back to Letonia as fast as I could get there, and then turned me loose. I walked back to town. "I didn't recognise any one in the crowd that whipped me for positive. There was a number I thought I recognised by their bulld and the way they acted. So I took the paper and showed it to some of those I thought I recognized. They was Clay Holt, who runs a grocery; Jack Holt and a man named Ireland in the meat shop. HOLT DENIES IT.

Snapp is Claudius and Dr. Colman is secretary of the parliamentary committee which created out of all the committees of twins established overnight in all the town along the railway.

ESPECIALLY QUORANTIN-ABLE By Dr. E. B. Lewis, B. Sc. M. D. 1618 1-2 East 9th Street Tuberculosis and leprosy are the sneak thieves of man-acquired malades. Any health commissioner who falls so utterly in his plain duty to arrest it at all—on the safe side, in those things that might secure his community against these two infections, deserve to be exposed as a marplot against health and as an egotist, who would jeopardize his people for his own selfish and dangerous opinion. servitude, the bacilli of tuberculosis. loss and leprosy may find a lodgment Irrespective of race, color, climate in the human tissues. A single germ of either may find its way mysteriously from the tuberculosis or the leper to your child, your mother or to your lips, there to encyst itself for years, waiting the inevitable moment when you are out of sorts or run down, to finish in the fertile soil thus provided. Malades which owe their unpleasant origin to the slow and insidious vegetation called bacteria are known as chronic infection of tuberculosis and leprosy are of this nature, their victims owe their violation to the indifference of school commissioners and others with authority to do their utmost to isolate those who have these diseases. If each and every sufferer with tuberculosis and leprosy were completely shut off and quarantined from all communication with the healthful inhabitants of this country, these two dread scourges could be abolished. Tuberculosis and leprosy are communicable diseases, all the more vicious because the tracks they leave behind—the pathway of infection between a laundress, a waiter or some one's chance handclasp and the second victim—are long forgotten ere the outward evidence of the decade incubation is seen. In fine, the consumptive and the leper that is now in your neighborhood scatters one or two invisible bacilli on your neighbor's dishes, towels, lips or finger-nails, and the neighbor has forgotten about it fifteen years hence, when the great-grand-daughter bacilli hatch out and multiply in your tissues. The health commissioner responsible cannot be hung now, because he died years before, confirmed in his terrorizing decision that leprosy cannot be transmitted to others in this climate. Once the germs of tuberculosis gain lodgment in the animal fabric, it propagates itself slowly until enough of them are born to prove the poisonous effects of their products on the lungs, kidneys or other structures. Then a mild fever, cough, a little apitite or some loss of weight pay indicate that some mischief is brewing in the textiles of your vitals. If every person on earth ill with tuberculosis or leprosy were removed to the islands of Madagascar or Mozambique there is logic in the assurance that these two purple plagues will be disposed of for all time. Moreover, a large part of those seet would in due time be healed and removed to health. The plague is not a painful test for tests to free them of any tuberculosis and undoed of by their own powers and finally returned to their original habitat. If You Fail.

He is a man-about-town. He is an industrious man of action. Mr. Wilson is now conducting a successful Real Estate business at 580 Central avenue. Phone 824616. By honest methods and fair dealing THE NEW YORK TIMES he has won the confidence of all whom he has aided in securing beautiful homes in pleasant neighborhoods. Mr. Wilson gives it as his opinion that square dealing insures success. We-recommend Mr. Wilson to the purchasing real estate in and out of public as a safe man to consult when the city of Los Angeles. For general information call 824616, or write 580 Central Ave. LOS ANGELES THE GREATEST FIRM DOUBLES ITS SALES The well known firm of Wm. H. Gamble & Co. has doubled their sales for the fiscal year ending June 30th, a statement which in itself speaks of the Company's ability to give service. The personal interest of their client is considered by them their first duty. Despite the scarcity of improved property to be handled, Gamble & Co. have some of the best bargains in real estate to be had. When asked by the Eagle man if they had any statement to make concerning conditions in general in their line, Mr. Gamble, president of the firm, said: "Log Angeles is fast becoming the mecca of a large cosmopolitan city where the better classes of all races are gathering, looking and hoping for bettering their personal conditions. No city in the world offers the opportunities that our city offers, and being in constant touch and co-operation with the Chamber of Commerce, the largest body of its kind in the world, the many civic and business enterprises of the city and Race, we feel that we are in a position to secure for any and all, including the thousands of visitors gathered here for the National Baptist Convention, many of whom contemplate remaining, anything that they desire in property or business locations. If we fail it can't be done." We have endeavored to assist in raising the Real Estate profession to the standard of that high level which it rightly deserves. There are a good many people who think that all one has to do to become a successful realtor to get out and find a piece of property for sale, and then secure a purchaser, but they are soon convinced that they are entirely wrong. It is just as possible for one to succeed in the realty business without the proper training; honesty, experience, and ability, as it is for him to succeed as a physician, lawyer or one of any other profession without special training in his particular endeavor. There were some people who looked upon all realty brokers as deceptive and dishonest, but those of that belief have been forced to admit that they were mistaken, that one can find just as many honest men among realty brokers as can be found among men of any other profession. We ad mit that there are those in business who cannot be trusted, just as there are men in every profession and busi-proper thing for the public to do is to turn the searchlight on the record, reputation and ability of any and every one in the professional or business world, find out if they are qualified, dependable and trustworthy before placing business wit hthem. Those who would succeed in the business world can have but one policy, and that is to do unto their neighbor as they would wish their neighbor to do unto them. In following this policy, one's business will thrive and prosper; evade it and one's business will wither and die. I would like to call the attention of the public to the following adv. appearing in the columns of our daily papers: "Buy from owner and save commission!" I know this adv. to be placed in the papers by certain persons who practice buying property for cluck turn-overs. They purchase their property thru agents, raise the price above market value and deceive the public by the above adv. Many of them have purchased property thru my firm, so BEWARE! LO! AND BEHOLD! Walter J. Lowe & Co. are as usual living up to their reputation of giving service. Mr. Lowe stated to the Eagel man yesterday, while he didn't mind being interviewed he was so pressed at present making delegates, members and friends of the big Baptist Convention at home that he did not have time to say anything other than that he was as stated too busy just now to speak. A LIVE WIRE P. H. Taylor, who is in the Real Estate business on E. 17th street and doing well, is a believer in advertising. If one is honest in their methods and dealings with the public in any capacity, their chief asset is to advertise in the papers, or personal letters through a mailing list system. If Los Angeles wasn't so well advertised the N. B. A. Convention would not be with us this week. If not for his belief in advertising, C. C. Julian, the great oil man who has sprung up over night, would not be where he is today, a millionaire himself, with hundreds of satisfied investors, and so on down. Hardly a day passes but some one doesn't stop in on the strength of receiving a good strong letter or having seen my personal ad. in the papers. I am expecting one-half of the ten thousand Baptists delegates here for the Convention to visit my office.

"As to growth one thing is ceratin. We will grow more as a city in the next ten years than we did in the last ten years and that means growth enough for any town. "By all means begin buying a home, but do not be content with paying less than 25 per cent of the price in cash. "There is a wise psychologic value derived from owning real estate, for it is a safe profitable investment and it makes you a better citizen because of the stability which characterizes ownership in land. WEALTH, HONOR, FAME ONLY TRIFLES COMPARED TO PEP Much has been said regarding the trite word pep, but still more may be said without stopping on any number of toes. Just as a web-footed person can walk in water on rainy days without getting their feet damp, so those who are possessed of pep can bounce about, move spryly, and overcome most obstacles. Pep is enthusiasm to the 1st degree. When Tom Jones' rooster has pep wrapped up within his tender heart and tough hide 'tis hard to keep him still. He will wake the neighborhood before day and remind Mr. Jones that it is breakfast time by his crowing; and show the world that he is boss of the cooped kingdom by, the egistical poise of this head and his hard-bolled walk. But when he has the pep he can hardly keep his head on his neck because of its wobbling tendency. He will lean against the door of his palace with his legs crossed as the he were ready to cash in. If you are able in your manifestations of pep, which you regard as a priceless jewel, to give some of it to others who need it, don't neglect doing so. Pep is like love, in that it may be given and taken. And if a man has wealth, honor, fame, and other blessings, but has not love, he is miserable indeed, isn't he?

Pastor Sunday was Pioneer's Day and we venture to say that in their twenty five or more years of residence they have not listened to a more appropriate and well spoken sermon. Full of common sense, business advice and exhortation the pastor from the subject "Pathfinders" came into his own and pleaded with old and new alike in appealing words. Moments of intence silence were witnessed as the pastor spoke. In line with this sermon Rev. Shaw will offer some business suggestions Sunday morning, next April 22. A very liberal collection was taken by the Pioneers and presented to pastor, church and choir. Sunday evening the young people of the church held a social hour at which time they attended an attorney Attorney Lewis K. Beeks, President; H. W. Markham.

In all cases these appeals will be based on the high ground of the Association's achievements in the past and its far-reaching program for the future. The 1923 program is especially noteworthy. The intensive campaign of the Los Angeles branch began, formally, Sunday afternoon, April 15, with a mass meeting at the second Baptist Ch. on Maple Avenue (Rev. Dr. T. L. Griffith's church). At this meeting attorney E. Burton Cerutti spoke Besides being an able speaker, Mr. Cerutti is one of the pioneer members of the local branch. He is also the legal adviser, being at the same time one of the National Directors of the Association. The finest talent curable in the way of speakers musicians and workers, make the Drive meetings very attractive. The public will do well to remember this. There will be full and authentic information always regarding N. A. A. C. activities. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH— 14th and 18th Streets. On Sunday, April 8, the regular services were well attended.

Judkin's Music Store, 1152 Central Ave. By John A. GGray What is artistic atmosphere and what does it mean to the student? The atmosphere used in this connection are the surrounding conditions, both physical and mental, in which the student finds himself. It is almost impossible for one to grow artistically and yet never come in contact with those things that are artistic. Students used to go to Europe for study and atmosphere. They still go for atmosphere but do not need to go for study. Since the war most of the great teachers of Europe have come to America and are teaching here. One can find today the very best instructors in the world without leaving the United States. It is difficult to find an environment, though, that is conducive to higher development. With the exception of some schools and colleges and a few places such as Greenwich village, our artistic atmosphere in a musical sense, is confined mostly to private groups. The environment that is needed for the musical student should be just as potent and universal as that which is manifested among the studios and homes of the motion picture people of Hollywood. Or, that which one finds on the stage, or in the sporting world. It means something that the majority knows about, is interested in, and at which a large number are working. That condition must prevail in order to promote a healthy growth and development in any specific line. Our music students, and especially those of the race, are more like hot-house plants that are not able to stand the scorching sun of the non-appreciative nor the withering winds of the indifferent. They soon give up the struggle and follow the crowd in its mad rush for jazz and frivolity. All art must have patrons who can give time and money for its propagation. Unfortunately there is no element of this type among the groups of our race except the students themselves, and when the future history of the race is written, the world will be able to see what a colossal task the pioneers of our art were compelled to undertake. In simple words our students must study, pay for their lessons, give their time and talent to every organization that comes along, suffer indignities from those who don't know, and meet all deficits resulting from concerts, recitals etc. isn't this a very encouraging condition for the young student to face? However, it is being done and will continue to be done because the artistic urge for self-expression is greater than the forces that are trying to hold it back. Parents of students can help by requiring their offsprings to give musicales and have programs of different kinds when the youngsters entertain. The average party consists of dancing and frivolous talk, with now and then some silly game. Students themselves should cultivate the acquaintances of those who are striving to be something. Every person takes up ones time socially is either helping or hindering. What is the use of sending your child to school, especially the high school and colleges, if, when they come out, their ideas and ambitions are no higher than the boys and girls who have run the streets all of their life? This sort of environment is not of help to any group and this atmosphere will stifle all forms of artistic growth. MOREHOUSE SWAMPS CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY ATLANTA, Ga., April 7.—The Morehouse Tigers continued their heavy ranked next with two home runs, hitting Saturday afternoon and won a 16-1 victory from Claflin University. Captain Dunn, Idlett and Williams led the Tiger outfit in batting, with three hits each, while Hankerson Smith, the star backstop of Claflin, showed great ability as a catcher. The Morehouse infield functioned well throughout the entire game, making many chances seem easy, while the Claflin nine made a total of five errors and showed signs of too much work. R. H. E.

IMPRESSIONS There is Beauty in All. Are You Asleep or Awake. Every artist takes delight in giving his impressions to those who love beautiful paintings. He devotes his life to perfecting his art. There is a beauty in every art and every craft. No matter how humble the trade or vocation, men strive to do their very best. When they love their work they take as much interest in it as though it were the loftiest calling on earth. If one should spend a few moments of his time noting the perfect lines and arches in a newly constructed building, he may rest assured that it is the result of the creative mind of the architect. And what is more wonderful about the artist and the craftsman is, that he feels he is contributing to the betterment of mankind. Learn to see the beauty in every created thing. Do not cultivate the habit of overlooking the fine points of any work. Remember the humblest work that man may do is as pleasing in God's sight as the loftiest, when it is done with willingness and sincerity. Clayborne D.

SOUTH SIDE MAN MAY BE NEXT MAYOR As the campaign for the nomination of municipal officers draws to its close, a remarkable switching of sentiment in favor of Edward E. Moore for Mayor is the outstanding development. Mr. Moore came out a little late, and no money is being spent in his campaign, except for legitimate advertising, but his clean record and splendid qualifications have won such widespread support that he is now acknowledged to be in the forefront of the principal contenders for the nomination. He is not backed by any corporation or "interests," and declares he has no object or ambition but to give the city a clean, effective, law-enforcing administration. Senator Moore is a resident of the South Side, his home being at 1728 West 48th Street. Before coming to Los Angeles he lived in Indiana, where he was a member of the State Educational Commission, and was twice elected State Senator. His candidacy is endorsed by the United Church Brotherhoods, the South West Reality Board, the South Western Avenue Business Association, and other influential organizations and individuals. Other things being equal, the people of the South Side should naturally favor a South Side man for Mayor. And if such a candidate happens to be the best man for the job in addition, he certainly should have their heartiest support. Adv. On Saturday, April 28th, the SOUTH WEST REALTY BOARD will lead a monster Automobile parade in support of the candidacy of EDWARD E. MOORE for Mayor, and C. W. CLEGG for City Councilman. The people of the South Side are thoroughly awake to the wonderful opportunity of putting one of their distinguished citizens in the Mayor's chair, and a strong and capable representative in the Council. The South Side is a mighty big and important part of Los Angeles, and demands and deserves recognition. Hibertoro one might think, so far as the powers that be are concerned, that there is no such section as South Los Angeles.

WATER ON BRAIN BAFFLES SCIENCE M. H. By Dr. E. B. Lewis. B. Sc. M. D. 1618 12 East 9th Street "Water on the brain" is not the joke that everyday speech might lead you to believe. To level this expression of opprobrium at some one who fails to see the point to some argument or joke may be very amusing. In its true meaning, water on the brain or an accumulation of lymph, serum and fluids in the cranial cavity, is a serious matter. It is termed "hydrocephalus" or water-logged brain. External hydrocephalus is the name given when the fluid is between the skull and the brain, and internal hydrocephalus when the fluid is inside the core of the cerebrum or gray matter. The latter type is not uncommon. The causes of hydrocephalus are not clearly understood. Many of them are present when a child is born, although the malady is not an inherited condition. Rickets and other diseases are in evidence sometimes, although a large head in a child with rickets is often wrongly due to "water on the brain." This condition may exist with a small head. The bones often harden prematurely in these infants. Such children, if they do not die at an early age, frequently become idiots. With this exception, the hydrocephalic child is recognized by the abnormal size of its head. At birth, the circumference of the head of a normal child measures about 14 inches. At its first birthday it is 18 or 19 inches. The head of a hydrocephalic child at 4 months measured 24 1/2 inches, another a little older 26 3/4 inches, and a third at 8 months was 32 3/4 inches. Occasionally the head is globular again it is pyramidal, but all are usually symmetrical. "Highbrows" receive but little comfort from these unhappy sufferers. An exceedingly broad and high forehead is not always a sign of intelligence. In many of these infants so afflicted the condition is not manifest until the little one is three months old. Then the head begins to grow too rapidly. The child may be dull, unable to hold up its head, have weak muscles and dulled senses. Even convulsions may appear. The head enlarges and the rest of the anatomy wastes. The causes of death may be marasmus—the wasting disease—convulsions and other intercurrent maladies. Incision, puncture of the brain strapping and other surgical procedures have hitherto been in vain. Dr. Lewis will answer questions for readers of this paper on medical, hygienic and sanitation subjects that are of general interest to the public. He cannot always undertake to prescribe or offer advice for individual cases. Where the subject is not of general interest, letters will be answered personally, if a stamped and addressed envelope is enclosed. Address all inquiries to Dr. E. B. Lewis, 1618 1.2 East 9th Street. Phones 820-389 and 822417. Question—My little boy nine months old is under weight, very fretful and has severe bowel troubles. We feed him only on mashed potatoes with gravy, rice and other soft foods. He has fever now and then. What is your idea about him. Answer:—From what I can gather in our querry, your baby is not getting the right kind of diet. Rice and mashed potatoes are not to be given infants of that age. There is a great percentage of starch in either of the foods you named, and starch, is no food for babies, as the digestive enzyme amylopsin is not to be found in the digestive organs of infants at that age. This enzyme is a starch digestant. It would not be unwise if you would have your baby examined by some one having the authority, and proper diet prescribed.

Farmer the Eastside Independent League has not done so without good and sufficient reason. In all previous campaigns in which we have engaged we have based our argument on the high ground of fairness and general advancement of the whole people. In promoting all candidates whom we have heretofore presented to our own group we have done so believing in the sincerity and integrity of the man together with his ability to fill the office.

Farmer for Mayor of Los Angeles. Bert L. Farmer, a big, capable man with many years of experience in public affairs, will go into the Mayor's office with his hands untied. Under the present city charter, which must remain operative during the entire term of the next Mayor no matter who he is, Mr. Farmer sees his way clear and open to advance the City of Los Angeles along proposed civic lines and at the same time conduct his high office in a sense of fairness and consideration towards all classes of citizens. Unlike the present Mayor Mr. Farmer sees much that he can do for the uplift of Los Angeles while the proposed new charter is framing. And in keeping with the big, generous spirit of the man he pledges himself to all uplift movements which make for the betterment of the whole people. We are not setting ourselves aside as a separate and distinct part of the people of Los Angeles for which special laws must be made and favors granted. We simply ask that the chief executive of this great city enforce the laws under which the city is operated in such a way as to pre serve the peace and safety of all. To that end, and firmly believing is the man we have selected to support we ask all progressive citizens to help elect Bert L. Farmer for Mayor of Los Angeles.

Hiawatha Dancing Academy 1824 Central Ave. News of Calitornir State News of Calitornir State --- RIVERSIDE, CAL. Mr. Felton is satisfactorily recovering from the effects of the wound sustained last Monday from the gun of Edw. Butler. The evidence shows that Felton was shot not knowing that his assailant was near as he was shot in the left shoulder from the rear. An eye witness (Mrs. Backer) says Butler when he raised his gun, aimed and fired. Others had previously cautioned Ed not to do any thing desperate. Edw. Butler who shot Felton is under Ten Thousand Dollar Bail, which he has not been able to furnish yet. Felton is one of those extraordinary characters who has a wealth of friends among the worldly and retains the good-will and sympathy of the members of the churches. It is more commendable because he is of the world, yet respected by Christians. The Spring is in full swing with a strong call to the lovers of the great out of doors to leave the busy streets of the city, and spend pleasurable hours in the canyons and parks. Several picnic parties were formed and spent Sunday at various canyons and resorts. Many Los Angelesen spent Sunday in Riverside. Among the number were Mr. I. W. Wallace Treasurer of the P. M. Benefit Association and wife Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Craig. Mr and Mrs Collins. Mr and Mrs W. Rollins. The above named members of Phillip's Chapel C. M. E. Church. Los Angeles, and cousins of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Boyd. Riverside. They were the guests of Mrs. Boyd at the family pew service at Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church at the morning service and expressed great delight in being able to hear Rev McCorkle again as many of them frequented special services where he spoke in Los Angeles and remembered him with a desire to hear him again. Mrs. Hurd, of Needles, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Miller spent the week end in the city attending business and visiting her parents. She also spent the morning at Allen Chapel. The Masonic Fraternity was invited to worship with the Second Baptist Church Sunday, they accepted and made a splendid showing in the congregation Sunday morning. The pastor, Rev. Cooper was at his best. It is commendable how the men of the world (masonic brothers) who owe no affiliation to any church responded to the call. The second Baptist church and The A. M. E. Church were represented at the Rally in Ontario, in the building rally of the Baptist church there. Rev. Shepherd is pastor. Rev. Davis of Monrovia preached the sermon. Less than ten members with the assistance of the three churches raised $100.00 The Feature Services at the A. M. E. Church Sunday were the best yet from a Spiritual view point. Also it was well attended. The pastor preached with compelling emphasis on the need of Family Religion. The program at night on the New Jerusalem also well attended and all expressed benefit and pleasure with the departure. The choir sang with elation. Special on the program were numbers by Lois Thomas, Bertha Wyley, Mrs. A. McGee and Mrs. J. E. McCorkle. Mrs. McCorkle displayed some of her school day ability in rendering the Holy City. Miss Melba Allen played masterfully. The oldest couple at the Feature services were Mr. and Mrs. Bryant, the sum of their ages was 173 years. He being 93, and she 80. It was a treat to see them there. The largest family was Mrs. Boyd's. There were thirteen represented in her family. Every third Sunday, something special at Allen Chapel. REDLANDS, CAL. By Lorna Doone. Mrs. Nettle Jones spent the weekend in Los Angeles visiting friends, returning Monday. Quite a few visitors from Indio were in the city last Sunday and attended services at Second Baptist Church. Mrs. E. Jones and Mrs. Charles B. Dones and son were guests of Mrs. Lucile Carmichael in a motor trip to Los Angeles Monday. The ladies shopping and Mrs. Dones and son visited with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albritton of Council Street. The party returned Monday evening. Mr. Thomas Coleman was the driver on this flying trip. Mrs. R. B. Burton who has been a little indisposed is able to be up and around. Mr. and Mrs. R. Carmichael, Mrs. and Mrs. L. Jones and Mrs. J. H. Scotland motored to Los Angeles last Thursday where they attended the show in which Mamie Smith was acting. Mrs. Julia Williamson who was quite ill last week is up and out again. Mrs. Charlotte Young, who has been It You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened ill with influenza is up and around again.

The preacher could make additions or changes as would meet his requirements and which would serve to help our cause effectively and make it a success. The outline is as follows: 'The Two Bible Insurance Companies' Gen. 41:47:49; Matt. 16:18; Matt. 6:20 I am writing to call your attention to the special drive which the Benefit Board of the National Baptist Convention is making. This drive has been approved by the Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention and the Conference held at Memphis. The Benefit Board is putting on the drive for 100,000 members. 1. God through Pharaoh, made Joseph president and founder of the world's first Insurance Company, with headquarters not in New York but in Egypt. Gen. 41:41. 2. Joseph's appointment to the Presidency of this Company, and his wonderful success as the first man to 'corner' the world's grain market, was due solely to the fact that he was a Spirit Filled President. Gen. 41:38. This would be and is an easy task for our great Baptist host, if our pastors would, on one Sunday in April, preach a sermon on the importance of our members carrying insurance and that they carry this insurance where it is possible with the Benefit Board of our Convention, which has been organised for this purpose. Our Christianity, our churches and denomination will sustain a very great loss if we allow others to have undisputed monopoly of this class of protection, which our race so much needs. 3. So much for Body Insurance, which is good and should be looked after, but we come now to a far greater Insurance, namely, Soul Insurance. Every man living should take out a policy. If the poor sinner is wise he will take one out today. A man deceived himself one time thinking that he was going to live a long time. Just about the time he got to thinking that way, God said to him, "Thou fool, this night thy soul is required of three." I am hereby submitting the outline of a sermon taken from "Sermon Outlines" by William Hicks, D.

Earthly companies some time bankrupt or fall in some way, but this Old Line Company that I am talking about which is, the church, can never fail. It is written that "Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Its President, Jesus, came all the way from Heaven down to a lost world to organize church insurance. 4. We repeat every poor sinner should today take out a straight-life policy with Jesus. Matt. 6:20. It is wise to lay up something with this company. Deut. 11:18. Prov. 7:1. 5. A policy with this company is more valuable than that of earthly company, because its face value is both the value and salvation of a soul. "What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lobe his soul." Face values: Eph. 1:11; 1 Pet. 1:4.

MEN AND CHILDREN PHONE: PICO 175 THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE SLAYS INFURIATED HUSBAND KILLS WIFE Another victim paid the toll of the reign of lawlessness which seems to be prevalent on the Pacific Coast at this time, when on last Monday morning at 4:45. Milton Taylor brutally beat up, and then shot his wife, Lucille Taylor, three times. She died instantly from the effects of the wounds inflicted upon her by her husband. From what could be gleaned by the Eagle reporter, Taylor and his wife had been estranged for the last ten days. She had left his room and board, and rented another room in the same building, but on the same floor. It seems as though they had been quarrelling for a day or two preceding the shooting, about a small trunk which Taylor claims his wife had taken from his room. He finally, on last Monday morning, at 12th and Hemlock streets, where the building is situated, waylaid his wife in the hallway, and when she came out of her room, he seized her, beat her up, shot her three times, then made his escape. This was not the first time Taylor and his wife had had trouble, as only a few days before the shooting, he was in the act of beating her, when the police arrived and placed him under arrest. She pleaded so hard for him that he was released. Taylor was captured by Officers Stevens and Kimbrough at about 9:00 o'clock p. m. of the same day the murder was committed. He had hidden around in the city, slowly made has way to Watts, and there had caught a Pacific Electric car for Santa Ana, whence he had hoped to make his way to Mexico. The officers were on the alert, and had a clew that his route would possibly be through Santa Ana. It happened that they were on the same car which Taylor caught, and looking around in one of the rear seats, they saw the man they were pursuing, placed him in irohs and brought him back to the city, where he was placed in the city jail Taylor at first expressed no remorse for his deed, and seemed glad that he had accomplished his brutal act. However, at the coroner's inquest on Wednesday, his spirit was broken, and he wept most bitterly. This was a cold-blooded, brutal murder, and it is to be hoped that the law will be upheld to its fullest extent. Much credit is due to the police department for their prompt action, and to officers Stevens and Kimbrough for their alertness in bringing the murderer to bay. BANK EMPLOYEE MURDERED SAM McGEE FORFEITS LIFE IN DAYLIGHT ROBBERY On Tuesday morning, February 13th, Sam McGee, acting as chauffeur for the 1st National Bank, was slain by bullets from a sawed-off shot gun, in one of the most daring daylight hold-ups in Los Angeles' crime history, Mr. McGee was a janitor at the Firt National but on this occasion was working in the place of Davenport, the regular chauffeur. Three men in a touring car trailed the bank machine, containing a pouch of registered mail, from the Arcade Post Office, Third and Central, to Fourth and Wall streets, where the bandit car suddenly swung into the bank machine and forced it to the curb, and when McGee did not with sufficient slacrity obey the command to stick 'em up, one of the robbers fired at such close range that McGee's head was blown almost off. After seizing the mail pouch, holding the bank guards at bay with guns meanwhile, the slayers made their escape. Every effort, stimulated by the offer of a $5000 reward from the bank, is being made to apprehend the bandits. The funeral of Mr. McGee was held Thursday of this week. He leaves a widow, who upon receiving news of her husband's shocking death, returned to this city from Arizona, where she had gone for the benefit of her daughter's health.

ENTERPRISES CONTINUE Still Another Failure Marks Self- Advertises Genius of U. N. I. A. Grand Mogul (Grusader Service) NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Following fast on the trail of the Universal Laundry, the Universal Doll Factory and the Universal Tailoring establishment, founded and founded by Marcus Gervey, and conducted by the Negro Factories Corporation, was evicted from 2305 Seventh Avenue for failure to pay several months rent. This marks a rapid period in the toboggan slide of universal failures that have overwhelmed the various Garvey business enterprises and the morale of the most fanatical Garveyite has subsided to zero as a consequence. Fortunately for Harlem many monuments of independent and ably managed Negro enterprises, such as Hart's huge department store, stand out in creditable contrast to the much advertised but insignificant hole in the wall businesses of the "provisional president of Africa" and self-styled Moses of the race. PIANO CONTEST BRILLIANT The piano contest held annually by the Musicians' Progressive Association, was a brilliant exposition of talent and training last Tuesday Eve, at the A. M. E. Zion church. Eight talented young players gave concrete proof of the ability of the race teachers of Los Angeles. The first contest was won by Luella McGill, a pupil of Miss Lilias G. Hart.

MONROVA "STOOL PIGEON" LETTER TO DAUGHERTY PROVES "DUD" Anti-Garvey Letter Fostered By Messenger Editor Gets Little Publicity/ (Crusader Service) Feb. 16.—The much-whispered about appeal to Attorney General Daugherty to investigate the. Universal Negro improvement Association because of its alleged "anarchism" has been made public and proves to be a "dud." it has fallen, so flat that even the newspapers of George Harris, one of the seven signers, failed to print it. 'Illustrative of the breach in opinion between the editors fo the Messenger on the question of baiting all black aliens for the actions of Marcus Garvey, is the fact that although the appeal bears the address of the Messenger office and is signed by Chandler Owen, it is not signed by A. Philip Randolph, his co-editor. The appeal cities instances of meetings broken up in different cities by alleged Garveyites and is blatantly ex parte. Among the citations are some regarding the interruption of public meetings that were addressed by two of the signers. Chandler Owen and William Pickens. On the whole the appeal, apart from its stool pigeon charcater, is so obviously weak that it could only secure the signatures of seven persons: one Garvey's landlord, three officials of rival organizations and two editors and publishers of rival newspapers. It is unquestionable another case of a mountain laboring to bring forth a mouse. This new effort for the uplift which meets every Sunday afternoon at the Christian Church corner of 14th and Birch Streets is attracting the people who flock to hear live issues discussed. On last Sunday quite a crowd came out despite the inclement weather, the meeting however was postponed until the coming Sunday when AttorneyHugh E. Macbeth will speak on: "How Many Confessions did Esley make, and Why?" H. Douglas Greer will speak on New Leadership. The Bilbrews will sing and a glorious time will be had. 8:00 o'clock is the time. POWDER AND PATCHES Will be worn by the Belles at the Colonial Ball, Normandie Hall, Thursday, February 22nd. Come in costume; or come out and see those who will be in Costume! Remember the Date! THE COLORED VOTE OF VENICE The Colored Voters of Venice, will vote "NO" on Consolidation because Santa Monica hates them and Venice has always liked her Colored Citizens of whom she is proud for they have done well there. The Big Question next Tuesday, Election Day, with them, cr with other voters, is not Consolidation but the Charter—whether Venice shall have a new Charter or go on under the same form of government it has now. The present form of City Government in Venice was intended for little towns and villages of 500 to 3500 population and was all right when Venice was small but it will not and does not work right with Venice as it is. With 17,000 population; $12,000,000 assessed valuation easily worth $30,000,000. A hundred men on the pay roll and required to keep up police force, fire protection, light, water, sewer, etc., etc., for not only our own people but 50,000 to 150,-000 more who come down here Saturday, Sunday and holidays all year round and all days in summer, it can't be done on this little village government plan. No five men in the world can meet one evening a week and do our city work right it cannot be done. It must have all the time of a good man trained in City management work. The new Charter provides for this and provides for it right. It is the best Charter ever written, and it does not take away any liberties, keep a City manager in power nor open the door for extravagance at all. Don't believe any of that bunkam, there is no truth in it. Vote for the Charter and against annexation and Come to the Charter Boosters Club, Chamber of Commerce Building and enroll as a member. CHARTER BOOSTERS CLUB 1617 Trolllyway----62129. POLITICAL POT PIE The pot is now on the hook and soon will begin to boll. The Congressional seat in the 10th district, Mayor, Councilmen and city Attorney and Auditor will be the goal. O. W. R. Robinson, prominent Attorney-at-Law, and one of the most prominent public men in this section, will be a strong contender for election for Congress, from the 10th district. He has a clean record and has by practical demonstration shown his interest in the welfare of the people. Mr. Robinson is well qualified and if elected would fill Congressman Osborne's place with the highest credit. Assemblyman F. M. Roberts is back home to spend the recess in finding out the wants of his constituents, all of whom want him to keep his weather eye on the bill for redistricting the Assembly district of this city. W. H. Oaks brother of Chief of Police Oaks, will be a candidate for the City Council. Mr. Oaks seems to be a live wire and fit timber for the duties of city father. Ward L. Johnson, prominent realty broker is well spoken of by the peo- ple, and will enter the councilmanic race and his friends expect to put him over. Senator Charles W. Lyons is prominently mentioned as a candidate for Congress to succeed the late Capt. H. D. Osborne. Senator Lyons is a brother of the late Henry Lyons and has a host of friends who would go behind him should he decide to enter the race. Should ex-Governor Stephens run for his old seat in Congress he must run without getting any appreciable support from the colored voters. For Stephens above all has demonstrated in the past that he does not stand for representation of all the people. Mayor Cryer has announced his intention to run for a second term on his record and it is a foregone conclusion that he will receive a strong and hearty support for re-election. Titus Alexander has been highly honored by the Democrats by being elected as one of the Board of Directors of the Democratic Clab of Southern California. He has so proved his worth to that party that they have no hesitancy in giving just recognition. Republicans take notice. Mrs. Peter Davis of 14th and Paloma, after a brief illness, climaxed by an operation on last Friday evening, died Saturday, February 10. She was buried Wednesday afternoon, February 14th, from Hamilton A. M. E. Church, Rev. S. M. Beane, officiating. THE BY-STANDER THE BY-STANDER THE FIXER Here is the word and person that we have been looking for a long time. Someone to fix it so that our Race will become alive to business acumen and alertness as the Japanese and Jews; a fixer that will unite our intelligent and social forces so as to systematically combat race propaganda and obstacles; finally, fixer who would unite the classes in the race and cement us into a sensible, progressive group of race loving individuals. Such a fixer would be worth a fortune and $75 would be a small price on Central avenue or elsewhere for his inside information and pull. The week passed as some of our more thoughtful celebrated the birth of the fearless, matchless, proponent of freedom—Frederick Douglass. We honor Douglass and why? Some who could not quote a single line or mention a solitary circumstance connected with any of his speeches hail the name of Douglass. It is with this illustrious character as with most men of standing, we stand aloof failing to realize and appreciate our heroes, and martyrts until the other race steps forth and proclaims, "Here is your leader, Hail him!" We are obedient people and we follow. The time must come when we ourselves must set some standard of manhood and womanhood and not wait until some other race lands our kin and then launch forth in tardy fashion to pay homage and due respect. To keep alive in the breast of young colored America the possibility of attaining success in spite of discouragements the life and works of Douglas Dunbar, Washington. Sojourner Truth and others should be told and retold with such vividness that such character would be as dear to us as parents. We know books but we are too little informed about people especially those of our own race. THE MEMORIAL Around five hundred white pupils were graduated from the High schools of Los Angeles recently. Scarcely twenty colored faces reached the coveted goal. It does not take a very efficient mathematician to figure out and reach the conclusion that with such an army of trained fighters arrayed against our depleted squad the future does not look numerically hopeful. It would take a race of Herculean strength and power to offset such odds. Producing here and there an outstanding ability is complimentary to our race but what it takes to bring victory is a continuous, crowded stream of trained man power. Encourage our youngsters to go at least through High school for everyone and more will be needed to stem the tide of hatred and oppression. Mrs. W. M. Sanders of 1328 E. 40th Street, entertained at a lovely and real surprise party for rher husband, Rev. W. M. Sanders at their lovely new home, where every one enjoyed themselves until a late hour.

Rodgers; Miss Elizabeth Hueston, Mrs. Josephine Curry and Mrs. Ida Harris. The beautiful gowned ladies added much to the beauty of the affair. The home was beautifully decorated with huge bakets of choice cut flowers in every space possible and the soft red light gave grace and beauty to the color scheme of Valentine which was being carried out in red, white and green. Small red hearts were passed to each on throughout the afternoon. Madam Royal and Douglass rendered beautiful selections throughout the afternoon. About 100 guests attended. Mr. and Mrs. Hueston have been residents of Los Angeles for more than 18 years and are well known in social and church circles. Dr. Anna Mae Williams CHIROPRACTOR 1168 E. 12TH ST.

Domingo, former editor of the Emancipation was asked to, give a statement of the article entitled "Back to Africa" by Dr. W. E. D. Du Bois, in the Century Magazine for February. Mr. Domingo said: "The article is very ably and cleverly written but shows a great ignorance of many elementary facts. Dr. Du-Bois is at is best when he philosopher of the day made for GGarveys' rise but is hopelessly at sea in many of his conclusions." "Illustrative of the factual mistakes of Du. Dr. Duis, for whom I have the highest regard intellectually, he states that Garvey rooted over his dismal dungeon, Liberty Hall. This is not true, as this place was formerly Metropolitan Baptist-Church under the pastorate of Rev. W. W. Brown. He speaks of "potentates" when as a matter of fact Gabriel Johnson of Liberia, who did the "Knighting" is the only "Potentate" of the U. N. I. A. The impression that one gets is that Emmet Scott, Booker Washington's Secretry, knelt down and was "Knighted." Mr. Scott denied being present as far back as last September. "Dr. Du Bois gives the impression that the West Indians began to travel since the Great War and that the demand for their labor at Panama began after Garvey was articulate in jamaica. The venerable tyranny of Indian masters over the West Indian overcrowded, to Panama during the DeLesseps attempt to cut the canal and again in huge droves around the time of the American operations in 1905. The immigration to Panama began to subside in 1910. The later West Indian immigrants to the United States came principally from Panama, Cuba, Costa Rica, Guatemala and other Central republics. Comparatively few came directly from the islands. And those who came were not all "laborers and servants." It is safe to say that fifty per cent of them were artisans and found employment in building cantments and ships, besides working in ammunition plants and in the machine shops of many railroads. West Indians have long been travelers. Port Limon, Costa Rica, is practically a West Indian town, and most of the construction work in Haiti, Ecuador, Brazil and Panamas was done by British West Indians, not to mention the fact that Jamaicans man the banana industry of Central America. These are but a few of many, very many, mistakes of fact. One point has been used to be a good example of this. As far back in 1919 predicted that when the Garvey debacle became a reality the attempt would be made to fasten the responsibility upon West Indians, particularly Jamaicans. This was inevitable; but fortunately I anticipated this and in the interest of truth will make the facts available to those who interested in the accuracy. Garveyian never gained any kind of foothold in the islands. Such West Indians who have embraced this egregious folly are those who are living abroad or have lived abroad and these gained racial consciousness. The best proof of this is the fet that Garvey failed to make good in Jamaica and was laughed at by the "peasants" as a huge joke. It was in the 20th Century America that his insane ideas fructified numerically and financially. Here he raised money and hired his paid intellectual assassins. Especially was his success great after the two articles by Truman Tally in the "World's Work Magazine" that boosted the black Moses sky high. Colored newspapers published the articles and white newspapers handled Garvey's reprint releases as though they represtaged the hopes of the race. This resulted in Negroes everywhere flocking to the red, black and green standard. "Before that, his chartering of the Yarmouth had, as Du Bois says, an 'electrical' effect upon even his appenents. "If a calm examination is made of the various funds of Garvey, it will be noticed that since 1920 the most of the money was abstentions and most of that amount from points west of the Atlantic Seaboard. "As most West Indians (and 4,000 out of about 60,000 in the U. S. live in New York) live in the cities on the Atlantic ocean it is a mystery to me how Dr. Du Bois concludes that West Indians are the principal sufferers! "Regarding the nationality of a majority of Garvey's members, I believe that Dr. Du Bois is gravely in error when he asserts that they are West Indians largely Jamaican. Not that Jamaicans are notools (for isn't Garvey a Jamaican!) but they know their man. "In the January Crisis, Dr. Du Bols quotes Garvey in the Jamaica Gleaner as saying that one half of his active members were in America. An analysis of Garvey's figures first made by me and later verified by Dr. Du Bols fixed the maximum membership of the U. N. I. A. at 89,000. That gives America 40,000. Garvey claims to have 10,000 members in New York City. "Leaving aside his known pachment for lying, and accepting his statement, let us suppose that $0 per cent of the New York members are West Indiana—that gives $0,000 or $344 of the total-West Indian population in that city. If the proportion of West Indians in the U, N, L, A is no greater or than the proportion in New York than the total West Indian membership in the United States is 15,576, we have the American members at 84.44." "Hearing out my conclusions which does not allow into consideration the possibility of Governor's exclamation of his New York membership, I quote Norman Garvey's words in the Boston Chronicle Jan. 37th, 1926." can gather ten times as many Ameri can Negroes anywhere in America as Du Bols can." I think that the above should settle the question of West Indians being the principal sufferers. The last convention of 200 or less delegates was overwhelmingly American. "I have no objection to the word 'peasant'—it is much more pleasant and indicative of a higher social and cultural French are a nation of peasants which means that the land is owned in small freehold by the population. The article is on the whole amusing and beautifully written but very much at variance with easily ascertained facts. A RARE INCIDENT Even in the Southland, once in a while something will happen to lighten the black woman's burden and give her strength to go forward if she does not allow herself to see all the bad and close her eyes to the good. Such was the case the other day when I was coming home on a suburban car. As I stepped into the car I saw at a glance that the white people had arrayed themselves one on a seat from rear to front—both sides with the exception of one short seat. He was not talking to me but being one of the two women standing I shared the seat with the young woman to whom he was talking. If looked at her and she looked at me. We looked at each other long and hard. Then I said, didn't he touch his cap? She nodded. What was that he said? I continued. "He asked me if I have his seat," said the girl. Involuntarily I looked to the front to get a good look at a young white man who would touch his cap to a black woman. He couldn't have thought her white as sometimes happens in the world. A woman was standing—a gentleman never sits and allows a woman to stand was bred in that young man so thoroughly that he arose and mechanically touched his cap. The girl whispered, "Northerners from the Fort." Reckon so? Asked I for II am loyal to my folk and my section and while they are not angels still some of them are as thorobred as are found in any section. When the young men got off and the girl had later left the car, I kept thinking: that was a little thing to do but it's so unusual.

Hooten of Harvard University. Closely connected with these plans, moreover, are certain other projects to preserve Negro folklore and the fragments of Negro music. In this effort, the Association has the cooperation of Mrs. Elsie Clews Persons, the moving spirit of the American Folklore Society. She is now-designing of making a more systematic effort to embody this part of the Negro civilization and she believes that the work can be more successfully done by cooperation with the Association. As soon as the Director can obtain a special fund for this particular work, an investigator will be employed to undertake it. The interest manifested in the study of Negro History in clubs and schools has been very encouraging. Most of the advanced institutions of learning of both North and South make use of The Journal of Negro History in teach social sciences. The Director's two recent works, The History of the Negro Church and The Negro in Our History are being extensively used as textbooks in classes studying Sociology and History. The enthusiasm of some of these groups has developed to the extent that they now request authority to organise under the direction of the Association local bodies to the Body of Negro History.

If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--YOU May Never Know It Happened INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WELFARE LEAGUE NEWS "YOU MEN AND WOMEN" We are in a position to place 500 of you in good paying positions. But in order to do so we must have enrolled upon our books in the Los Angeles Branch of the International Community Welfare League the names and addresses of 5000 men and women as members of our organization within the next ninety days. Does this interest you? If so read of this "cold Turkey," common sense, business proposition without strings or red tape attached to it. We are not trying to show "you" any deep points, but as "you" know everything warns you and me, to face the facts and get together and work together for our common good. The first process in getting things done is to believe that YOU can do them. The next step is to put your legs, arms, eyes and fingers to work to back up this thought of yours. In so doing YOU kill that old Goliath who keeps you where you are by making you be lieve. "IT CAN'T BE DONE." As a demonstration a group of men who, knowing that you were being denied your rights, but believing that there were ways and means by which you could gain justice, banded themselves together to find those ways and means. After years of determination, perseverance, effort, and personal sacrifice they made good with the Mexican Government, and purchased and got options on land together with good will enough to insure all American Negroes who wish to go to Mexico, a refuge and a home. With these men who pit themselves upon the altar in the interest of humanity, money was a secondary consideration. Personal gain held no place in their thoughts. Being able to see the great possibilities right here in this Garden Spot for our group they erected an international structure. The International Community Welfare League with all of the protection, advantages, and opportunities that an individual could hope to gain through organization and under organized control. All this is offered today to YOU. YOU are common with all men and women: YOU have something to sell. It may be a house, an idea, your talent or your labor. For your labor only there is a scant demand, but there is demand for your ideas or talents. If you take membership in The International Community Welfare League it will create a market for your wares. Great actors have done their turn upon the stage of action, have made history and passed out. The great event for which the world has looked forward is at hand. It is your time to appear on the stage. The Great Director writes on the wall, "Organization is your cue." The industrial, religious and educational program prepared by The International Community Welfare League which set the stage, will carry YOU to the front in full spot light. You cannot do it alone; you must join with others and they must join with you. It calls for ensemble and team work. Concerted movement and co-operation are required to put it over the footlights. By the applause from the grandstand we know that WHITE SUPREMACY is pitching hard against us. We need pinch hitters. We need to tally. We are playing a losing game. Don't sit on the bench any longer whining for opportunity. Don't look further for something better than what you have. The plan, principal and the method by which you can best profit is here before you. Why wait for it to happen? A half baked idea which is expressed and set in motion is better than a half dozen better ideas stored away. Any reasonable desire if it is strong enough will be realized. Why jog along in the same old rut? Aren't you tired of waiting for something to happen? Then come along and lets make it happen. Remember now that 5000 of YOU men and women of all trades and professions and every line of human activity should enroll your names upon our books within the next ninety days. If this is done we guarantee to place 500 of YOU in good paying positions where you may express whatever talent you may possess. Such co-operation will enable the League to secure jobs and positions with wages according to merit for you. It will enable the League to work out plans for industrial development; in fact we invite men and women with plans and ideas which they would like to see carried out in building right here in Los Angeles. Also we invite investors with small or large capital to invest to join with us for as we are wide awake to the needs and possibilities of the race we guarantee that with your membership we will start such activities as will safeguard your interest and make it a paying investment to you. This is of interest to each and everyone of us. As a race we are dangerously near to the brink of the falls. Our thin shell bark skiff made of rear, superstition and ignorance will not hold much longer against the onslaught of the Ku Klux Klan and other forces who are casting rocks of Jim-crowism, lynching, etc. Up stream is The International Community Welfare League in "The Steam Launch Will Power," anchored to the solid rock bottom-right principles and Christ-like service. It cases the line of hope to YOU as an individual. Take ye hold of it and help draw those with whom you are classed and associated and those whom you love and would die for back to a land that you have really played a part in making its Democracy safe for all peoples. In the language of The Internation. al Community Welfare League I have strength to life in hundred weights, but if you join your strength with mine our strength will increase threefold. A deed done today is better than two deeds done tomorrow. Everything which the League has done, is doing and hopes to do is done for your profit and happiness. What you can do, YOU ought to do. What YOU ought to do YOU can do. What YOU ought to do and can do, by the Grace of God YOU must do. No better time will ever come than now, while the world of men are striving one against the other in an effort to find a solution for their problems. Now, when 12,000,000 are drawn closer together than ever by the realization of the necessity of organization, stand ready and willing to join YOU. The idea is new to YOU but think of this: David the Shepherd used a new idea and method so effectively that the terrible old Giant Goliath lost his head. One dollar admits you into member ship of The International Community Welfare League which has thrown the door of opportunity upon to you. ROBERT L.

PHONE 150-4 IT PAYS TO KEEP CLEAN HOUSE. On last Monday, the Los Angeles Ministers' Allinace (whit) some two hundred (more or less) strong, unanimously passed resolutions aimed at the Mexican government, and to be forwarded to Secretary of State Hughes for presentation to said Mexican Government, denouncing the vice conditions which prevail at Tia Juana and Mexicali. They cited at great length the snares, pitfalls and the sinister influence of border conditions upon the American youth, as a result of the easy access to vice at the two places above named, and they are praying our central government at Washington to use its good offices at the City of Mexico to forever put a stop to these conditions at the border. To all of the above, the California Eagle, along with all good citizens, must subscribe and endorse. But we must go further, and offer amendments to the resolutions passed and submitted and demand equally a cleasing of our body politic in our own home in the dear old U. S. A. For moblaw sometimes runs riot, lynching and burning of human beings almost a daily happening in some of the states of this Union. Therefore we ask, not only the preachers of Los Angeles, but the ministers of all cities to pass resolutions, not to the Secretary of State of the United States to present to some other foreign country, but to the Secretary of State, to present to our president and our Congress, that these conditions should not obtain. Citing further reasons in support of this amendment, in the State of Texas, one day last month, there was a man learned in medicine, whose only offense was that he was dark and too prosperous; he owned and conducted a large sanitarium, where pationents flocked by the hundred. Yet people who called themselves citizens of Texas said that this was too much for a black man to acquire—and hooded knights, with black masks over their faces, went to this man's place of business, took him there from, misused him, burned off one limb at a time; stuck hot irons in his eyes—and hung him up, as an example of what others may expect if they, too, should happen to become prosperous. Another doctor recently was taken from his place of business, in the great city of Houston, Texas, unsexed, and left in a precarious condition on the plains of Texas. He had to flee for his life, and found refuge in another city of these United States. These conditions have been repeated in Oklahoma, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana. Therefore, it is eminently proper that the Ministers make their stand more in harmony with law and order; that they should nclude in theri fight against vice conditions in a foreign land, a petition to this government to help all those whowho stand for law and order to clean up our own home—FIRST! ATTENTION, ODD FELLOWS! Grand re-union of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will be held March 1st by Golden Rule Lodge No. 5959.

Jones puts his stamp of approval upon the selection of Indianapolis, Indiana as the place for holding the next annual Sunday School Congress. He recites in his sattement the hospitality of the citizens of the capital of the Hoosier State. Dr. Jones says: "The Baptists throughout the United State will find at Indianapolis during the session of the Congress in June a reception for which Hoosiers are noted. Drs. Lewis, Morris, Leonard, Young, Farrell, Seymour, Hendon, Lillard and others are all strong characters and with them are united congregations whose endeavors are to make strangers welcome. Our city had expected the Congress to come here but the choice is a wise one, and my congratulations are extended to the Board upon its wise selection. Rev. Dr. B. J. Prince and Dr. H. W. Knight are already busy securing rates and accommodations, and from Chicago and vicinity an army of inspired young men and women will com to learn and greet those coming from all quarters of the country.

Days of sadness still come o'er us; Secret tears do often flow, But sweet memories keep you near us Though you left one year ago. Loving thoughts of you are with us And the happy long ago. Still our hearts are aching for you For we loved you, loved you so. No more your footsteps will we hear; No more your voice calls mother dear Mother is lonely since you went away And it grieves me you are gone to star We miss your loving cheerful face. We miss your sunny smiles. But when we meet the face to face, There'll be no more good bys. JANIE E. WILLIAMS, Mother.

GIRL FLYER RECOVERING RAPIDLY Bessie Coleman, internationally famous aviatrix, who has been at St. Catherin's Hospital, Santa Monica, since her recent accident, is rapidly recovering from the severe injuries she sustained.

Miss Coleman has been the recipient of many attentions and friendly remembrances during her enforced "captivity" and wishes to thank her friends and well-wishers for the same. Thursday morning at the St. Paul Baptist Church, quite a representative number of Baptist met to further the work of the Baptists in the West. Divines, hoary head and striplings, alike, were here. LaLymen too, who had set aside their toil for daily bread, in order that the work of the kingdom might be made more fruitful. They all met in one common cause. The morning session was devoted to the Sunday School work. Many good suggestions and plans were made for a bigger work this year in that department of church work. Reports were made from the District Conventions which showed progress in the development of the work. The afternoon session was one full of enthusiastic planning for the perfection of the work among the Baptist Young People. Among the speakers who lent inspiration to the meeting were: Refs. W. H. Tilman, Wade, Hutchison, W. B. Banks, Rozier and R. N. Holt also Mrs. E. O. Solomon and M. Sweet. The Board extended to Rev.

MUSIC FROM A SAW Next Sunday evening at 8:00 o'clock Professor Joahson, Saw soloist of extraordinary ability who has been obtained by Evangelist Troy, will play the sa wait the East 36th St. Church. Most persons think that the only music of a saw is the monotonous tone that is produced when the saw comes in contact with a piece of wood. But Prof. Joahson's skillful application of a violin bow to the teeth of the saw produces incredibly pleasing melodies. Tuesday and Thursday evenings, lectures will be given as usual at the East 36th St. Church, 666 E. 36th St. This church may be reached by taking "S" car. Also the "G" car may be taken to Jefferson St., then walk south on Griffith to 36th.

Gladden, Jr. Jack Contier, graduate of a leading Negro university, and student of history, is financed by a rich friend and several universities, sails for Northern Nigeria, where he meets the Fringes, missionaries there for many years. He also meets and forms a friendship with Anelo, the Fringes' daughter. Contier is taken to a neighboring village. Here he is shown about by Mantuba, chief of the descendants of a once highly civilized people. Mantuba tells Contier of a secret trail which leads to an ancient buried city where are to be found a great treasure of elephant tusks and gold and diamonds. The chief introduces Jack to Jamba, his son, who is in love with Anelo. Contier and the Fringes are invited to a feast, and in the midst of the celebration Juba, loveless of the native girls, dances. Her love has been spurned by Jamba since the coming of the Fringes girl. Contier is pleased with the girl's dancing and talent. She mistakes his interest for love. Meanwhile, Jamba realizes that Anelo does not care for him, but encourages the newcomer. Several days after the feast, Contier plans a trip to the buried city where he expects to make excavations and shed light an ancient African history and culture. On the night before the trip Mantuba is taken ill, and notifies Contier. Juba learns of Jamba's plan of revenge and hurries to inform Contier. He does not heed the warning at first, and the girl believing that she is ignored, and loved neither by Jamba nor Contier, goes away. Shortly afterward, Jack follows in her wake. NOW READ: VI Contier crept quietly to where the girl stood. She was uttering something quite unintelligible to Jack. In her hand she clutched a knife. She did not hear Contier as he had approached. Jack, perceiving her intention, seized the burnished weapon. Juba started. She gazed into Contier's face, as if amazed, and afraid. She tried to smile in her cunning way. Now she offered resistance, but her strength was fast waning. The girl fainted; and was carried away helpless in the strong arms of the man to the Fringes. Dawn found Contier at Mantuba's hut, where he told of the experience of the night before. Jack had had an eventful night; nevertheless, fired now with new enthusiasm and his old ambition, he seemed fresh and in high spirits. "Father is very ill this morning." Jamba told Contier as the chief's son came upon him in front of Mantuba's hut. "I have persuaded him to permit me to accompany you." "But where are the plans and the code?" Jack asked half in perplexity and disappointment. "He has turned them over to me. I know where the secret trail is and can interpret the code. We have been preparing for the trip and will be ready to start shortly." With these last, words Jamba left Jack and went about giving orders to the men and making every moment count. They liked him and were glad to go again on a trip with him. His fame was known throughout that part of the country as the best elephant-hunter and the strongest of the young chiefs. And the women all admired him for his prowess, but had become jealous of Juba to whom he had shown preference. But Juba was not in the village, so they thought they would seize this opportunity to make him happy and win his favor by bestowing gifts, and other tokens of love upon their hero, when he was ready to depart for the forestland. Although Jamba showed Contier the utmost hospitality and courtesy, Jack had not forgotten the message given him by Juba the night before. He had, among other things, a revolver for the treacherous young chief, should he attempt to carry out his plan of revenge. Contier was not satisfied to leave on such an important journey without first seeing Mantuba. John Fringes, the missionary, had been unable to accompany him, and he was therefore, reluctant to go with men in whom he could put little trust. He gained entrance to the chief's hut. Attendants led him to the mat where 'Mantuba lay.' "Mantuba," Jack began, seating himself on a small stool made from a log. "I am sorry that you are ill and can not direct us. Why did you not let me have the plans and explain the code to me, instead of Jamba?" "You can depend on him. He always takes my place when I am till I do not fear." If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—YOU May Never Know It Ha abroad and acquire an education. Then there was Juba, queen of the village whom he, Jamba, had of late slighted. She had talent. She could be sent abroad and under a proper chaperon, and efficient tutelage in the art which was indeed a part of her life, she would become famous. But Jamba was indifferent still. Deep down in his heart he was determined to carry out his purpose, in spite of his father's wishes. The excavation party was ready. Jamba retained the designs and promised Custer that he would have no reason to doubt the success of the undertaking. Jamba had almost everything appropriate to chieftainship, including trumpets, horses, drums, arms, and equipment. There were in all thirty men mostly scantily-clad and armed. The forestland had been familiar to them and they loved it; but there had always been one trail unknown to them. Today they would know. These warriors had been on many tours with the missionaries and European explorers, so that they could well be depended upon to take care of themselves and others in any emergency. When Juba awoke she was surprised to find herself in Anelo's room with the girl bending over her. Her anger and jealousy were aroused at first at the slight of her whom she blamed for her sorrow. She would leap at her and then put an end to her life. She was in a dilemma. Anelo tried to quit her. Juba had received instructions from the missionaries and had never forgotten some of the principles of Christ. She remembered one of the verses by the apostle Paul: "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." Juba knew that charity meant love. No, she concluded; it was not right to be ungrateful. She thought of the past night—then of Contier's danger. "Forgive me for my words, my actions, there is something I would do. I must leave. Contier is in danger. Jamba will kill him surely. I must go—" But the beautiful dancer was in a weakened condition and very nervous and unable to leave her bed. "No, Juba." Anelo urged. "Let me go to his rescue." Juba gave the girl directions as to the place where the trap would be effected. Anelo hurries with two natives, to the rescue of Contier. She must save him now or find her life a continual round of unhappiness. (To be continued next week.) ... SAFE FROM INTIMIDATION There is no surer way for the steady growth of state than the keeping alive those elements of harmony among its inhabitants. It is a waste of funds to advertise our advantages, when, fears for ones own safety of property and even life creates unrest among the people of any community. We admit that disgruntles are in every place, but in general, every element of citizenship of any consequence, must be looked after, so that they will also sing the song of harmony and praise, or else the readers of these advertisements will conclude that there is too much smoke to be no fire. —Southwestern Review, Albuquerque, N.

RAGE RELATIONS SUNDAY Sunday, February 11, is agreed upon by the Political Churches of Christ in America; as the day that there should be a general interchange of church coveness between races. Exceptially is this apparently an effort to provide a better fellowship between the black and the white races in America. We sincerely hope, as must all right thinking persons, that it will profit much good to both races. We believe that it shall—in the churches—white and black. Then has never existed very much bad feeling between them sayly. There has never appeared any evil feeling from the black angels against the white churches. We only wonder with such a move that be expected of us ambling a better, unconventional balance, the more of both races should be better. that knoweth not the prayer book. Furthermore, we have not read, nor heard that any of the colored churchmen suggested such a move as that indicated as a means of promoting a better understanding between the masses. They know better. ONE MAN'S OPINION As we grow older we become more and more familiar with the existing stereotyped discussion of the race problem. As we hear this problem discussed, and as we cast our eyes around us to see proofs of these discussions, we become very polignantly aware of the neglect of the preceding generation. And as these thoughts dawn upon us, as the fallacies in most existing arguments present themselves, as history becomes more understood, and as the "insness" of things looms up, we learn that there is no such thing as a race problem. There is no more, no less, than a purely economic problem. There are those, who from the preponderance of their knowledge and from the ingenuity of their speech, will try and impress us in tones magnificently modulated that Amalgamation is the solution to the Negro problem. They will prate, these constituents, among them being southern senators, that the first white man who co-habited with a black woman solved the Negro problem forever and ever. There are those who spout of emigration to distant shores. Friends, we find that most of these spouters and expounders are after one thing; self-aggrandizement. There is but one solution to the so-called problem that is practical and near at hand, and that solution is the accumulation of wealth. Wealth is the power of the present age; to be considered, you must have it, and you can't get it warming chairs and spouting your hot air. We have professionals, musicians, intelligentsia, dressers, literati professors, and all those classes that go to make up the lighter and, yes, spiritual ideal of life. We have a multitude of thinkers. But where are the doers? Stop spouting problems, thinkers who don't do. Spring from the womb of void, unborn black economists and business men. Be fair with your customers, black merchants. Trade with your own. you 40,000 buyers of commodities with your spending power of millions per year, said millions being capable of commanding any flavor or stopping any injustice imaginable, if properly used. Do these things individually. Do these things by towns and cities. When you do these things you have solved your mythical race problem, that is no more, in its last analysis, than an economic problem. It was, we believe, John Ruskin who said that the material side of life is but the servant of the spiritual as we observe our social condition, with its wonderful parties, magnificent dances, houses of brothel, pall-halls of the lower classification, self-styled professors, and a most remarkable system of caste, we think that we have done a most worthy thing. We have developed a spiritual side without having to bother with the material side. Aren't we wonderful? No, we are fools, too lazy to paddle against the current. CUB CAPER By Leon Whittaker. Tuesday evening in a track meet held on Housh Field, between U. C. at L. A. and Pasadena, Stovall placed first in the high jump, first in the low hurdles, and third in the 100 yard dash. Thompson ran the 220. Thompson, considering that this is his first year in track athletics is doing well. Jeff Brown is improving day by day in this matter of pugilism, and when the day of the big time comes around, Brown will be there. We say there, boy, there. This is Wednesday. Tomorrow night Jeff goes over to Cal-Tek to meet one of the toughest 150 pounders in the conference boxing circles. We look for him to bring home some beacon. We have quite a number of new faces here. It seems as though we see a face on the campus each day that we have not seen before. We welcome quite heartily these new students, and, if possible, we should like to hear from them. Mr. Wright, a student of science, is specializing in Physics; this is very commendable, especially in view of the fact that we need so many highly trained teachers. Miss Miriam Matthews, an ardent student of Logic, can be seen diligently studying every afternoon in the Library. She can be considered an exemplar of study. Mr. Edgar Johnson, of the College of Commerce, is the best dressed man on the campus everyday enclosing Saturday. We see the most beautiful Fa(1)ge in history every new and then Fa(1)ge 666.

M. C. A. NOTES IN THE MUSIC WORLD Because of the inclement weather on last Sunday, the lecture on "What An Oriental Thinks About America," was postponed until Sunday, February 18. Mr. Ahmed Mirza Sohrab, noted Persian lecturer, will begin his lecture at 3:00 p. m. A large audience is expected to hear him. The YMCA is organizing an inter-Sunday School Baseball League. It will comprise more than ten groups of boys in the various Sunday Schools throughout the city. Later, these groups will compete in track meets, swimming meets, handball tournaments; they will go on hikes on Saturday afternoons, as well attend the great camp activities in the summer. Many prizes will be given to winners in the events to come. On last Wednesday, February 14, the annual Membership Campaign began with a "bang." A large number of young men and older men have signified their intention to run as candidates in the Mock City Election, for mayor and city councilmen in the campaign which will last for 46 days.

Negro Organizations Launch Flight to Have Prejudiced Nincoopoop Removed From Office He Disgraces. (November Service) (Orlando service) NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Jack Dempsey, world's heavy weight champion, and Harry Wills, New Orleans Negro challenger for the title, will not be permitted to box for the champion in New York State while William Maldoon is Chairman of the State Athletic Commission. Chairman Muldoon made this positive declaration yesterday at his home in Purchase, N. Y. The commercialised conditions surrounding a bout of such importance, Chairman Muldoum said, would produce an element which would jeopardise professional bonding if permitted to go unnoticed. It is in this commercialism, not any discrimination against either Dampsey or Wills, which prompted Chairman Muldoum's decision, he said. Some men make their money in business—some in stocks—some by toilsome savings of their daily wage. But I submit to you the unquestioned fact that more men have reached a comfortable competence through the ownership of property—houses and land which bring in a fixed income—than in any other way. Business requires your sole attention—Stocks mean sleepless nights and days of worry—Property works by itself for you without your care. Select it—Set it to work—it takes care of itself and will take care of you. A good example of this sort of investment is found in a few of my special listings as follows: Seven room house, East 40th St., $4200.00; $1000.00 cash. Five room house, corner Hooper Ave., $3950.00 $1000.00 cash. Three rooms East 51st St., $1750.00; $500.00 cash. Five room bungalow, Naomi St., $4200.00; $700.00 cash. Making Money The following clipping from Musical America is interesting. "The S. Coleridge-Taylor. Musical Society, formed about a year ago in New York, already has a membership of 1000, and hopes to present in public concert in New York at an early date a symphony orchestra of 100 players and a chorus of 100 voices. This society, which was instituted to perpetuate the memory of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, aims to foster the works of the famous Negro composer, to encourage Negro artists by assisting them to obtain engagements, to promote and preserve Negro art and to encourage orchestral playing and choral singing. It plans to keep a look out for all promising young aspirants among the Negroes and to assist them in furthering their musical education by providing scholarships. One of its activities will be to promote Sunday afternoon concerts, at which artists from various parts of the country will appear. It is the aim of the organization to have 10,000 members and to rank as one of the leading musical associations among colored people in the world. Gwendolyn Taylor, daughter of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, has written from London that she's very much interested in the movement started in America to honor the memory of her father. The founder and president of the society is David A. Donald, a young Negro musician who has been influenced by the works of Coleridge-Taylor. Mr. Donald, who is a violinist, has been a resident of New York for fourteen years. He began his musical career under David I. Martin and later took up the study of the violin under Jean Munkacsky. He is now a pupil of Carl Tollestan. Mr. Donald has interested many Negro musicians in the society, and, to further its work, is editing a magazine, Musical Activities, which is devoted to the development of Negro music. The other officers of the society are G. R. Falconer, vice-president; Gertrude Mae Hill, second vice-president; Dr. Alma Haskins, treasurer; Cornelia Fishburn, assistant treasurer; Beatrice Thompson, recording secretary; Carrie Evelya Williams, corresponding secretary; W. Arthur Calhoun, musical director; P. R. Waples, assistant director; Rudolph Grant, choral leader, E. Gilbert Anderson, orchestra leader; James R. Mallit, assistant orchestra leader; Cecelia de Silva, chairman recognition committee, and Blanch Dear Harris chairman of program committee." WORK FOR HUNDREDS Bethel A. M. E.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL' CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 34th Street and Central Avenue. Rev. E. E. Lightner, Pastor. ..... Not to be bailed by the constant downpour or rain, appreciative audience invited to help with both services the past Sunday. The pastor occupied the pulpit at the morning hour using as his subject: "World Demands." At the evening hour the service was a celebration of the birth day of Abraham Lincoln. Prof. E. J. Moore delighted the audience in a splendid address on; "Lincoln, the Humanitarian." Prof. Moore in select language, gave a brief History of the life of Lincoln, and of his great service in freeing over four millions of slaves. Lincoln was declared to be not only a friend to the Negro Race, but he was a friend of humanity. A Lincoln program was also presented in the Sunday School. This Sunday being the first Sunday in the Lenten season will have good things in store for us. The Pastor will begin a series of special Lenten Sermons at the morning service. In the evening the Rev. Dr. J. M. Young will be the speaker. You should not miss these services. Strangers cordially invited to all meetings. WARD CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH—1252 East 28th Street. Rev. B. R. Guy, Pastor.

About 20 person communion. The Sunday School was well attended. The Endeavor was led by Mrs. M. Henderson and the information was first class. Rev. Gantt preached again at 8:00 p.m. from the text.

The congregation in the morning had quite a number of visitors, one from Watts, one from San Diego besides those from other places. SPECIAL INVITATION All pastors are cordially invited to come to a Pastors' Fast and Prayer Meeting at this church Friday, March the 2nd at 10 a. m. to 12 noon.

There were three accessions at each service, giving a total of six men and women added to our membership for the day. There included one man converted at the 11:00 o'clock service. The singing lead by the senior and junior choirs, under direction of Prof. Bartlett was inspiring and good. Because of the rain last Sunday "The Mutual Aid Society of the First A. M. E. Church did not turn out in such large numbers as on previous occasions. The Society was organized January, 1894 under the pastorate of the Rev. David R. Jones. Its object was to care for the sick and aged members of the church; and when it war started had no age limit. The society has a membership of 290, and it has a substantial bank account. Mr. A. W.

The rain did not stop church goers from attending Zion on last Sunday. Both morning and evening a very appreciative audience was present. Rev. Shaw took for his text at the 11:00 o'clock audience, "Let a man examine himself." 1 Cor. 11 Chapter and 28 verse. If you wish to get close to God hear Rev. Shaw. The Bible Class and Varick Christ ian Endeavor Society held interesting sessions. Dr. Ruth Wade D. S. C. talked on "Improving the Community." Each Sunday a short program is rendered. At 8:00 p. m. Attorney Willis O. Tyler one of Los Angeles' greatest orators as well as one of her most prominent lawyers gave an address on "Education." This address was given in commemoration of the birthday of Rev. J. C. Price founder of Livingston College. This address was a great tribute not only to the honored Price but to all those men who have fought and labored for higher education for the Negro Rafe. Preceding the address of Hon. Willie O. Tyler, Mrs. J. C. Banks read the biography of the life of Rev. J. C. Price which made us realise what a wonderful 'nator, flanker and race man he was. A viola selection by Atwell Rose and a vocal solo by Mr. Emanuelau Hall could not have been excelled. The choir under direction of Prof. Brynn rendered excellent music. A neat offering was lifted for educational purposes. WEST SIDE, MISSION, A. M. E. CHURCH West 51st Street, near Dunker. Major G. W. Priebus, Pastor.

He provided an excellent and hospitable service which was highly appreciated by the friends and members of the Church. One member of the Sunday School founded the Church, Alice Maughy, is one of the most active members should join hands in fighting the curd instead of fighting the churches.

THE BIRCH STREET CHRISTIAN CHURCH— Corner 14th and Birch Streets. F. C. Cothran. Dear Brother: I feel it my duty at this time to give you this information in order that you may act wisely in adjusting your affairs so that you may not embarrass yourself. Your statement yesterday about giving more time to church work does not harmonize with my remark made in your presence and also the board last meeting. In view of the fact that I am having some difficulty in getting the board to agree on whether they will continue your service at all, makes your statement very much out of place at this time, and also nullifies my efforts, in that it would seem that you at least had some understanding and called for explanation that I am unable to make. I have been trying to get the Board to agree to a definite call for a year of your service, but they thus far have only agreed to six months. So you see it is not wise for you to figure on the church continuing your services indefinitely. I had planned to have a talk with you before the next meeting, to lay the matter before you. However, your statement draws me out before I reached my decision. All members of the Board look upon you as a good Christian man, and all love you, but they do not think you have done or can do the church any concrete service. > Faithfully submitted in His name, > (Glennley) B. S. HUMAC (Signed). R. R. TURNAGE. Elder Cothran was called to the pastorate of the Birch Street Christian Church indefinitely by a unanimous voice of the congregation January, 1922. His public announcement to the congregation Sunday a. m. January 21st, 1922: "That he is arranging his business relations so as a give more time in building up his church revealed the conspiracy of some of the members of his official board to discontinue his services as minister. Official Board and Members of Birch Street Christian Church. Dear Co-Laborers: My resignation as minister of this church, to take effect sixty (60) days hence, as per the custom governing church and minister, is based upon the position of the official board, revealed in a letter of January 22, 1923, which I received from Elder R. R. Turnage, and upon a public statement of the said Elder Turnage, in our last Board meeting of February 6th, 1923. That notwithstanding my good Christian Character, unblemished reputation and exemplary life, I cannot preach to the members constituting the Birch Street Christian Church. The above position and statement, I take it, represents the sense and spirit of the membership of this Church. Therefore, I deem it best for all parties concerned, that the alienation of said church and minister be effected. In accepting this resignation, please take it alice that you will kindly grant me a letter of recommendation and likewise, to each member of my family.

C. DURANT, BUILDER OF MORE THAN TWO MILLION AUTOMOBILES. T These laws will become effective Saturday: Visiting time limit extended to six months. Address changes must be reported immediately to registration department. Private garages must report tenants. Public garages must start keeping records of cars stored over 18 hours. Minimum age for automobile drivers is to be 14 years; for chauffeurs 16 years. Loads carried on cars allowed six inches past hub caps on right side, nothing past hub cap line on left side. Commercial vehicles must have windshields. Vehicles must keep to right of the road. Cars being passed must not increase their speed while passing car is getting by No turns can be made except at street intersections. Residential turns are permissible in light traffic. Speed trap evidence on state roads will not stand in courts. New weight law for trucks. (Truck owners should secure copies of the law from the motor vehicle department and adhere to it.) Tire law for trucks also effective with new stipulations. Hand signals must be given and from the left side of the vehicle only. Any vehicle with a rear vision obscured must be equipped with a rear view mirror of some sort. A new embezzlement law is also effective. After Saturday the Motor Vehicle Department will close on Saturday. New car and used car dealers can issue blue slips to buyers during that period so that the cars can be operated until certificates are made out. The Auto Show which was held at Pearl's Garage on 9th Street, August 18th and 19th proved to be a big success both from a point of attendance and a sales standpoint. Hundreds visited the show and intense interest was shown. Many handsome cars were on display and the space given over to the show was appropriately decorated for the occasion in potted plants, streamers and flowers. Among the cars on display, and they were all spiked and span bran new, were a Pierce Arrow Brougham, special built, this high priced price of automotive machinery being bought by Dr. Nelson. Durant-Steve's Motor Sales Co., located on South Grand, had two designs on hand. One a sport touring special equipped and the other a high powered skx. Accompanying this outfit was one of their salesmen, Mr Chas. Thomas. Every body knows him and the Durant otuft made a big hit. It was one of the most popular cars on the floor. Several sales were reported. Chandler and Cleveland J. Revelle represented W. P. Herbert Co. agents for these well known makes and he was constantly on the go, showing and advancing information desired . The Company had three cars on view. Palge Display— The Palge cars were in direct charge of Mr. Pearl, and they received their portion of visitors. Independent Rubber Co.— While they did not have a space display ewing to the short notice, several cars on the floor were equipped with tires handled by them. Chevrolet and Fords were in evidence also and too there was an accessory department fully equipped, and Vestra Battery also had display space. All in all every one that visited the show is alive with interest and still talking about the smooth manner in which things went off. Special Display— Owing to the fact that the N. B. Convention is meeting in the city this week there will be gathered for display a few of the cars that made the show famous. Visitors and friends are invited to look them over. Paving the Way— This show, our initial one, is a forerunner of what the public might look forward to in the future as occasion demands. The various automotive units are becoming thoroughly organised and the next effort along these lines should find every one interested in business taking an active part. GOOD ROADS BIG ISSUE In summing up the automobile trends a word should be spoken for good roads. The money spent on these is not an expenditure but an investment which turns in a remarkable dividend. Where good roads go, the automobile and truck follow in ever-increasing numbers, and behind these come the builders of homes and factories. It is the duty of every patriotic citizen to boost the movement for good roads, but for the fun in the automobile industry it is the surest way of taking the business along its proper line of development. There are 239,000 miles of road in the country and not more than 200,000 are hard surfaced. Most of our hard roads are too narrow. The time is coming when trucks and passenger cars will open new country long before the railroad comes in. The time will arrive soon if each and every one of us gets behind this great movement, which means more to the world than did the coming of the steam railway. We are cultivating a great speech in world development. Lot each man play his part. AGAIN Again the California Eagle has the unique distinction of issuing another, its second classified automotive section. Mr. E. L. Dorsay, who edited the last edition is again at the helm, and shares with us what ever success or credit there is to be gained. Aside from occupying a front row in the Medical profession, aside from his energetic effort to fill in the gap and bring up a solid front along organized business lines, for diversion the doctor specializes in the acquisition and maintaining of good automobiles. DR. E. C. NELSON'S NEW MARMON Way back yonder before autos had virtually displaced the horse, the doctor was an admirer of blooded and thoroughbred horseflesh and his highest ambition as a fancier thereof was to own and ride behind or on a thoroughbred. This penchant for speed has remained with him in this day of fine and exacting autos. M. A. B. DR. EUGENE C. NELSON he accompanying illustration give to the class of cars he prizes; a 1923 Marmon and of which he made, while below is his Engl. first model Pierce Arrow is the indeed a classy turnout. So it is that the Doctor is one fancier, I not be content unless he is all of its fullness. The accompanying illustration gives an insight into the class of cars he prizes; the upper one is a 1923 Marmon and of which no better car is made, while below is his English creation latest model Pierce Arrow is the ral class and is indeed a classy turnout. So it can be observed that the Doctor is one fancier of speed who will not be content unless he is in on the same in all of its fullness. 100 DR. E. C. NELSON'S PIERCE ARROW has substituted for the Four in "tally ho" by acquiring and ma designed automobiles which He has substituted for the Four in Hand and even the "tally ho" by acquiring and maintaining the best designed automobiles which truly symbolize the replacing of King Horse when he reigned supreme. EVERYTHING FOR YOUR AUTO---- Whether it be Packard or a Ford, "Western Auto" can supply the Accessories, Tires and Parts at money-saving prices. Countless thousands of motorists realize this and make "Western Auto" their Auto Supply Headquarters. THREATENS YE EDITOR Last evening while The Automotive editor of the California Eagle was sitting at his desk busily engaged attending to his usual duties, a large and threatening crowd gathered in front of its quarters and demanded point blank that the automotive section of the HOWDY edition be eliminated. Can you imagine but that confusion reigned for a few moments. Doors were bolted, shades drawn and decks cleared for action. Deputy sheriff J. E. Proud who guards The Eagle constantly, was asked, prevailed upon and finally induced gun in hand to crack the door and ask the crowd to disperse. One look and John retired to the rear. Bob Anderson, the Foreman, The editor and Managing editor, the two Bass's, their assistant Mr. Kyle, supported by the office boy Adolphus and Freddie, all got as far as the door and then took the J. E. Prowd"three second course in retreating." The crowd wanted—nay demanded but one man, and on that one man depended peace or war. When so informed the gentleman majestically rose to the occasion. Laid aside his literary efforts and darted through the door, and made the following eloquent address, while the mob listened breathlessly, and at its conclusion immediately dispersed in a quite orderly manner, for it was "some speech": "Friends, Countrymen and Lovers: Hear me for my cause and be silent that you may hear. Believe me for mine honor and have respect for my honor that ye may believe. Censure me in your wisdom and awake your senses that ye may be the better judge. If you ask me why I started this Automotive Section, it was not that I loved the California Eagle less but a deserving public more. Horses and other forms of dumb brushes used for transportation will never gain their full freedom until we, you and I who must depend on some sort of locomotion to meet our conveniences to and from a given starting point, become thoroughly awake and educated to the fact that horse slavery must be abolished for man's convenience and womans' too if for no other. And so with the assistance of this and other editions published by other concerns, we hope, dear friends, to properise you back sliders who still believe in horse and mule slavery with dope, of a very good brand, and plenty of it until we see you with our naked eye go into Pearl's Garage to store your car, or the Western Supply to see Saving Sam about some needs or Trublprul Michelin, Racine and Independent to shod your steeds. Hensley at the L. F. C. for a battery to give you speed or the L. F. C. Garage to fix your mechanical needs. Or until our good friend Charlie Thomas reports to us direct that the Durant Steves Motor Sales has missed a car off the floor through the channel of a purchase or Jones of Cheverlolet fame brings in your name or J. Revelle of Chandler and Cleveland fame says Mr. Manager. I have his name or thousands of other concerns do the same, then and not until then will we cease the publication of our Automotive Section, I thank you. THE AFTERMATH Shades were raised, Lintotypes were started and every body resumed work, and the "Howdy Number" with not only its Automotive Section but a Real Estate Number is before you, the judge. Speak up. I DON'T Most motorists are blooming fools, They trifle with the traffic rules. I don't. No man should try to get the drop On any seasoned traffic cop, Nor fail to heed his sign to stop. I don't. A man should never drive too fast, Or brag about the cars he's passed. I don't. For Safety First should be his creed. There really isn't any need To drive a car at reckless speed. I don't. A man should never lose his bean When piloting a gas-machine. I don't On city street or open road, A man should never break the code, Nor fellow-farers incommode. I don't. He should not equestrians, Nor chase the poor pedestrians. I don't. In fact, I have no car to run. I'm shy the coin to purchase one. You'd think I wouldn't have much fun. I don't. —Battles. Production of motor vehicles for the year ended July 31, ttailed 3,585,000. The output of cars and trucks during the first seven months of this year was 2,444,000, showing an increase of 68 per cent over the corresponding period last year. TOWING INTELLIGENCE Never fasten a tow rope to the axle of a car when towing. The rope should be fastened to one of the front portions of the frame, so that the pull comes on the chassis. The same thing applies to the car doing the towing, except that the rope should be fastened to some part of the rear frame. Continual dripping of oil from a car indicates leaks or worn bushings. All brake connections should be lubricated carefully and regularly. FOR SQUEAKY WHEELS Occasionally wheels cause squeak due to the hubs becoming loose or the spokes drying out. A few drops of kerosene oil allowed to work into the spoke joints will usually eliminate the noise. L. E. C. GARAGE J. W. WELSH----Vulcanizing, Washing, Polishing and Greasing. J. B.

Truth of the matter is we have received many favorable comments concerning the good we have accomplished. OF COURSE Every one knows what is to happen this month. Two things of especial interest to the public. One is the total eclipse of the Sun set by nature to take place on Sept. 10th, 11:00 a. m. or there abouts. The other, much more important to folks in California where one in every three owns an auto, is a two cent tax on gasoline. Of course you are saving your pennies to meet the new crisis. Your troubles never cease if you own an auto, but who can afford to do without one these days and time, when every moment must count. THE SATURATION POINT Supply and demand is the natural channel through which production along any line must flow. The saturation point in production of the automobile is still years ahead. of the automobile is still years ahead. We today who enjoy and recognize the value of the auto in business and pleasure, must admit that looking toward the future it is but passing thru its experimental stages. It is difficult to look even five years ahead and predict. With the public waking up to the fact that war is, as "Stonewall" said,—hell, they have decided to have less war and more of something else—Peace. MICH If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened The auto has been a consistent factor in making the human race like one another and for this reason if for no other has so increased its usefulness that its saturation point is a remote possibility even fifty or a hundred years from now. GASOLINE SITUATION STILL UNSETTLED The gasoline situation is still unsettled. When the crack in uniform and somewhat high prices, came several weeks ago no one dared advance the thought that those folks whose transportation vehicles required gas instead of hay would witness the spectacle along with a curious public of a Jack Dempsey and Thommie Gibbons encounter amongst the "Big Oil Consern" and "Little nidependents." But friends and fellow citizens it's here and oh my the fun we have been having. Just going everywhere this summer and practically having our gas bill paid. Silence— But good things never last and especially where the "big uns" and too the "little uns" are losing money. Listen— Don't laugh, when you are informed that the folks who make the gas are trying to fix a price of 15 cents per gal. to stabilize matters. Hope and pray that the war will soon end or someone will suffer when they finally do get together and the Price Thermomiter starts rising. Don't Laugh— Don't laugh for gas may go to 30 cents. One can never tell what a horse will do when he gets the bit in his mouth. Watch them. DO YOU BELIEVE T? Transportation is one of the biggest factors that is directly responsible for the spread of civilization to all four corners of the globe. First came the ox, then horses made their appearance along with sailing vessels. Both held the scene of action for hundreds of years until our good friend Robert Fulton started folks along the Hudson by calmly propelling a queer vessel down its stream something less than a hundred years ago. Thousands gathered along the 1 banks and watched with eager eyes, this queer looking vessel, as it emitted tugh volumes of black smoke, paddle its way along, not a sail to be seen. When it finally reached its destination, a few miles down stream a comely man stepped ashore and announced to reporters who eagerly sought information, that the dawn of a new era was at hand. The value of steam had been discovered and his new creation was given the name of steamboat. Many still live that remember that incident and the impression it made. Steam engines began to make in increasing numbers their appearance each year. Larger and more powerful they became. Then the cycle system was discontinued and the steam turbins brought into play. So satisfied was the public with the new and marvelous transportation facilities steam had given it that the first automobiles which made their appearance in the early ninties were also propelled by this power. No one ever dreamed steam would outlive its usefulness and be relegated with steam engines to the scrap heap. But steam has passed into oblivion with one or two exceptions and gasoline and fuel oil today share the honors of serving as fuel for the development of horse power. While we have the auto today and the gas to run with, both must ere long step down and give way to the aeroplane and electricity. Both are today being used commercially and the time is not far distant, friends, when you and I must as the birds that soar the air take to aeroplanes to keep our engagements, electrically propelled and controlled. We live in a new era. Today nothing seems impos- W sible. Tomorrow brings many chan es. Do You Believe it? IND. RUBBER CO. HOLDS OWN The Independent Rubber Company, the oldest and best patronized concern of its kind is as usual shooting on all six. The tire business hasn't been what it should for over a year. Many failures have been reported along all lines but by constant attention to business, coupled with the fact that they handle only the best grade of tires and tubes and their repair department is strictly up to date in methods, machinery and service, they are going strong. No job is too small or large for them. "Competition kills lots of businesses" but they seem to thrive on it. SERVICE WITH A SMILE The battery and tire service station of Brown and Leroy is one of the best known places of its kind in the city. Their motto is Service with a smile. They are agents for the Vista Battery and several well-known lines of tires. Located as it is at 751 Central Ave., they have one of the best business locations to be had. Then too they handle the Vista Battery. That makes a difference too. Chauffeurs Asso. Doing Great Work The California Chaufeurs Association is still doing a great work and accomplishing things amongst the drivers. So large has become their membership that they have found it necessary to hold their meetings at the Y. M. C. A. on 9th Street. "If you haven't been down, attend the next meeting convenient and we assure you," says Mr. Henderson, Pres. of the Association, "that you will be surprised to see just what can be done along the lines of organization. GOING STRONG Speaking of Tires, Troubleprut, is the best all around tire for Autos on the market today, says Mr. G. K. Fargo, distributor for this well-known and popular brand. Hundreds upon hundreds are becoming better acquainted daily by equipping their car all around with "Lamberts" troubleproof. When ever one thinks of the pleasure to be had HERE TROUT ABOUND by dispelling from their mind the thoughts of punctures, blowouts and the thousand and one other ills of pneumatic tires, they immediately get in touch with our Trubleproof service station located in the corner of 31st and Figueroa or the Independent Rubber Co, 852 Central Ave and their troubles are solved. "This has been Trubleproof's best year. Their value cannot be enlarged upon, either from a mileage, basis or in quality and material used. They are in every way the best by test. Try a set and be convinced. They are by far the cheapest and best tire on the market. A SURPRISE Dropped in at the Durant Steves Motor Sales Co. the other day and the first person we met was our good friend, Thomas. Charles by first name. Of course every body knows him. He is hale, hearty and well met and then too don't forget that Mr. Thomas has brains. Brains of a very good brand and a neck for using them and this is how we happened to meet him where he was. The Durant-Steves Motor Sales Co. recognised this fact in itself and secured Charles' services not as a cuspidor connoisseur used for bait as is the case in many inhas many sales to his credit." Calling on the Manager in a busi- --- MALCOLM MR. CHARLES THOMAS Thoma an Asset. ness way, Mr. Thomas' name was incidently mentioned and well perhaps, we had better quote what the Manager Mr. Fanluf had to say: "Yes, Charles Thomas is one of us, chiefly on his merits to deliver. We look upon him as an asset. Durant Sales are greater than ever before and we recognize the fact that one of his ability can do a lot toward showing the public in general and his group in particular the true merits of Durantinising the Auto Public. He stances, but as a first class salesman. ND Two of this Co's latest victims are L. Pickins on E. 29th Street and B. Davis on E. 32nd. Both have purchased sport models fully equipped. BETTER AUTOS Better performance and longer life due to improved design and better materials distinguish the 1924 car from its predecessors. One of the healthiest signs in the industry is the uniform determination of practically every manufacturer in the field to improve the quality of his product. There have been a great number of improvements in engines which make them more satisfactory to their users. In the first place, vibration has been practically eliminated in every engine which can be called up-to-date. Crankshafts are now so large in diameter that they cannot whip due to unbalanced forces, which has cut out the roughness apparent at critical speeds in practically all of the previous engines. These have been made possible by the use of the pressure oiling systems, which amply take care of the bearing surfaces, although the greater diameter of the crankshaft has so markedly increased the linear speed of the bearings. The typical oiling system of the American car was up to this year a combined low-pressure and splash system. Today the typical system is the high-pressure type in which the oil is forced positively through the bearings --- AUTOMOTIVE SECTION in quantities sufficient to lubricate and cool the bearings of even the 2 1-2 in. crankshafts. With this system there is no splash used. It is possible to run three engines wide for hours at a stretch without overheating. L. E. C. GARAGE The L. E. C. Garage located at 28th and Central is one of the few concerns of its kind not only operated but owned by one of the group. Mr. Craig purchased the building and ground several years ago and has built up on the principle of service a nice business. Tire Battery Department --And-- Battery SERVICE STATION Agents For PUMP 100% In connection with his garage there is a first class tire department conducted under the management of Mr. J. W.

AUTOMOTIVE SECTION SAVING SAM'S DADDY VAN" DRAWING HIS STUDIO IN It all started back in 1918 in the office of a large advertising agency in Los Angeles. Mr. Pepperdine, president of the Western Auto Supply Company, called upon a young artist to create for him a trade character that would symbolize the policy of his company and suggested the name "Saving Sam" for such a figure. With pencil and paper before him the said young artist racked his "think tank" to bring about such a fellow until Saving Sam hoped out on the paper from the point of his pencil. He was at first a shy, bashful sort of a chap, with a mop of un- DID YOU KNOW? DID YOU KNOW?

That spring shackle play or looseness between the spring end and the shackle may give much annoyance until the seat of trouble is discovered. A good method of taking up the play is to put shims between the spring end and the shackle. Or the play may be removed by tightening the spring bolt. That a knock due to overheating will be noticed on a hill, but it also occurs on level roads. It is accompanied by steam from the radiator.

With a smile on his face; one hand in his pocket to suggest saving, the other extended to render service to the motorist, he is an outstanding trade character and is well known throughout the West to the man with the automobile. ylivania, Rhode Island and Vermont. That regular changing of oil will make a motor last longer. Tires of different sizes will不平衡 a car slightly and make steering difficult. The tires in the rear should be the same size, just as they should be the same diameter on the front. The cord tire is about an inch larger than the fabric tire of the same size. That you should when filling a radiator allow enough water to pass in to bring the level over the end of the vent pipe. That traffic police in eDnver wear special belts with red signal lights on the front and rear of the leather straps. Small batteries are carried in the pockets of the policemen. That the State of New Jersey has a law making the use of rear view mirrors compulsory on passenger cars and motor trucks. That although the automobile has not reached the importance in England that it has in America statistics show an increase of more than 100 per cent. That oversized tires on the rear wheels will give greater traction. That a short circuit is often caused by wires becoming oil or water soaked. Meet P. S. Van Rensejaer, better known as the "daddy" of Saving Sam, the ingenious little trade character of the Western Auto Supply Company. "Van" has recently purchased a new Buick and has it completel yequipped with fittings from his "son's" auto supply house. He calls it his "Western Auto Buick Sport." Seldom do you pick up an automotive magazine or automobile section of a newspaper without seeing "Sam's beaming countenance shining forth from one of the pages. Billboards and highway markers carry the same message, always the same sunny smile that seems to invite you to smile with him. Last year Mr. Pepperdine had a replica of Saving Sam turned out in silver and presented it to the store manager making the greatest percentage of incrase in his sales record during the year. That according to estimates, automobiles and motor trucks in Pennsylvania cover every day 10,000,000 miles and 30,000,000 passenger miles within the boundaries of the State. The automobile industry, including parts and tires, had an output in 1922 of $2,725,000,000, making it the largest manufacturing industry in the United States. That one should never mount any extra heavy equipment to fenders. Signal lamps, tires, suitcases, boxes, etc., should be attached to the frame or other rigid parts of the car. Fender brackets and sheet metal are designed to carry only their own weight. That you should always give proper hand signals. It may save you a costly smashup. That careful driving is a necessary precaution these days. That draining the crankcase is done to the best advantage immediately after a run when the engine is warm and the oil is thin. That accelerating the engine a few times is a good way to warn persons standing in the rear of the car to get out of the way. That when timing the ignition of an engine it is necessary to know when the piston reaches the top of the stroke. STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! Under the boulevard stop plan, effective September 14, vehicles entering the following boulevards must come to a complete stop before crossing or entering: Wilshire boulevard from Westlake Park to the city limits. Figueroa street from Washington street to the south city limits. Mission road from Alameda street to Alhambra avenue. 15,000,000 CARS BY It is estimated today that there is a potential demand for 2,000,000 cars. This started to accumulate in 1918. Up through 1917, demand and supply were running a very close race, growing about uniformly and there was a fairly easy absorption of the 1,800,000 cars produced that year. It was estimated that the production for 1918 would be 3,500,000. Instead of that but about 2,000,000 were produced, because of the war. Production totals for 1923 will be about 3,000,000. If demand had increased only as fast as normal, the 2,000,000 shortage would be a conservative estimate. There is every reason to believe that the spring of 1824 will witness the greatest buying activity ever seen in the automobile field, just as this winter the demand for enclosed cars is, and will be, far in excess, of the possible production of these vehicles. At the present time there are between six and seven million cars and trucks on the streets and roads of the country. In 5 years there should be 15,000,000. The extent to which the truck and passenger car will displace other forms of transportation is governed by only two things First, the production of vehicles and second, the building of good roads. ALUMINUM WHEELS COMING Aluminum wheels are only one of the products which will soon be available from this light material. Wheels for a 3000-lb. passenger car, weighing but 20 lbs. apiece, are said to be perfectly feasible and if we are soon to have these, the unsprung weight will have come down remarkably and the resulting easy riding qualifies secured. If the war has had any influence on design, it is largely in the matter of workmanship. It is not uncommon to go into a factory, particularly one which has been on ordnance or aircraft work, and find that it is making parts to much closer limits with high-speed production methods than was deemed possible before the war. The government insisted on high standards of manufacture and put inspectors in the plants to see that they got it. In the early days of the war there was much grumbling about these inspectors, but when put to it, the manufacturer was able to meet the close limits required and it has been a wonderful lesson. Great Increase Shown In Motor Production According to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, 2,029,000 automobiles and trucks were produced in the United States during the first six months of this year. This compares with 1,161,000 in the first six months of 1922, an increase of 74 per cent. A REWARD In the last ten years the United States has exported 562,000 passenger automobiles, valued at $534,,000,000, to more than 100 different countries, colonies and islands. NEW TRAFFIC LAWS Respect for the law is the first principle that makes for good citizenship. cities that makes an easy citizenship. Laws and their enforcement comes of the necessity that the welfare of the public must be protected against a certain class of individuals and organisations that seek to gain certain definite ends through the channels of crime. The coming of the automobile, useful and convenient as it has been found in its present high stage of development, has been something that has created a problem in every city, county, state and country where gasoline or other forms of fuel can be commercialized, or put on the market at a price which will permit the public owning and operating cars. How to meet these many and various forms of problems, which are largely of a traffic nature, costing thousands of lives yearly and doing hundreds of dollars damage has and is causing branches of governments, organized to handle such conditions, considerable worry. California to Front- California ranking, third state in the Union in number of machines owned, naturally is very much interested in its future, and at the last session of the Legislature much time was given to the drafting and enactment of certain definite laws that would assist in greatly reducing, perhaps to a minimum, accidents and thefts. Eighteen new state laws went into effect on Sept. 1st and it might be well for each person interested to secure a copy of them either from the Auto Clubs or police department. Included in this automotive number we insert the laws in brief. Some one of them are going to fit you, Mr. Reader. Don't be fooled or led into believing there will be any laxity in their enforcement for the state has made ample and sufficient arrangements to enforce the new order of things, to the letter. Calif. boasts of having a couple of million souls and Los Angeles claims the largest individual portion of that population and also leads in number of autos, so many of us are going to have something to do to keep from having to tell the judge how it happened unless we are Mighty, Mighty Careful. TAXI CAB COMPANY KEPT BUSY TAXI CAB CO. KEPT BUSY The Elife Taxi Cab Co has perhaps the largest chain of up to date Touring cars and Limousines in the West. For over three years they have been at work improving every end of the game. They are constantly kept busy serving the public, and hundreds are indebted to them for being able to keep their engagements owing to the prompt service they render. Mr. Francis P. Jones, who is a Chevrolet Dealer, reports that the demands for this car are extraordinarily heavy this season. REDUCTION IN PRICE Despite the present demand for cars at the present price a new and substantial reduction in cost has been made to take effect immediately, which means this popular make car will no doubt hang up a new sales record before the season ends. Mr. J. Revelle who is connected with the agency of the above named cars has been a big factor in making the Auto Show at Pearls' Garage a huge success. His display, has been quite an attraction, and the result of several sales. WITH REGARD TO MICHELIN Quality has been the sole factor which has created such a demand for this well known brand. Visit their wholesale department located on South Hope street, you will see hundreds of this popular make moving daily to the Company's many service stations scattered throughout the city. Company's Policy. It is our policy to try to render to our thousands of customers the best possible service obtainable. Michelin Tires have maintained a name for themselves that we are proud of and through the new system of service coupled with the fact that we have the best tire on the market irrespective of cost why we expect no let up in sales. Worth Mentioning Down at The independent Rubber Co on Central Avenue, this concern, which is exclusive agent for that district has had its biggest year and there is a reason. They handle Michelin and they sell themselves. A RUMOR It is reported about town that Mr. H. Oaler of Oser Racine Tire Co. is retiring from business. This is one of the most popular tire concerns in the city. For years Mr. Oaler has directed its destiny and its success is measured by the large volume of business it has and the thousand of tires today seen on the street in and around the city on all makes of cars. Not Affected The high standard of service rendered the automotive public will not be in any degree altered except along the lines of improvement where and when found necessary, matters not what else takes place. William Pickens Sr. has recently ordered from Steves-Durant Auto Agency a brand new five passenger Durant. Consequently his bank account is smaller by several hundred dollars. Bob Davis was given a Durant brand new one by the same business concern for a cash consideration of dollars. Dr. Nelson who disposed of big six sixty Pierce, his touring car and Cad Coupe and invested the money in oil stock woke up the other morning to find his income had increased some $30,000 per annum. When last seen he was riding in a New Pierce Arrow. The Paige Car still leads in numbers amongst our group but is being crowded by the Durant. Thad Winston, who has a Dodge Sedan has a serious attack of Studebaker fever. His many friends hope for his speedy recovery. Paul Williams, the architect, recently accompanied his Chevrolet to Elsinore for a few days recreation. His wife was the attraction. C. K. Venerable is still having trouble getting folks to leave his Bulck alone. He just got it back after several days leave of absence. The Osburn's on Burlington Street exchanged their Ford for a Chevrolet Coupe, filled it up with gas and oil, bought a spare tire and took a three weeks leave of absence which was spent in and about Sacramento. Mr. Bob Davis, who resides on E. 32nd Street, presented his wife with a brand new automobile last week. Wife and auto are doing fine. Yes, it is a Durant. Speaking of Durants our good friend, Walter Low, who has the em- LET YOUR NEXT CAR BE A CHANDLER—CLEVELAND J. REVELLE PEARL'S GARAGE Central at Ninth 820-755 W. P. HUBERT CO.

Bass is packing a Packard Coupe around with him these days. Both look the picture of health. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Houston, on 34th Street have ceased patronizing the L. A. Railway. They have a wonderful looking new car. The Chauffeur, Mr. Houston, drives so fast the Eagle man has not as yet been able to catch the name. E. R., better known as Dady Baldwin, by the children, is spending his vacation in Arizona. He journeyed there in a Bulck. Rev. J. D. Gordon, former pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, who was recently recalled by some of its members has a new Chevrolet Coupe. John Barefield, the great and only John, cleaned up his Paige car and invited his wife to take a trip. They spent two weeks up at Elsinore while their many friends mourned their absence. Oh yes, Johnson is still selling automobiles. You can't keep a good man down. Since our last issue the Raglin family have acquired a big six Durant. Mrs. Thad Winston is trying to have her better half to get another car and turn in the Dodge. Dr. Diggs had his Franklin Coupe gone over recently and it looks like a million dollars. Dr. Smith, who has two drug stores, is a Nationalist. Not politically speaking but automobile speaking. Dr. Mohlon Cooley and family have been spending the largest portion of the summer at the sea side. His Cadillac is getting considerable exercise. E. Russell khen last seen was rolling along in a new Buick. S. P. Dones is sporting a new Nash roadster. Miss Christman and mother journeyed to Elsihore to spend a couple of weeks recently. Mrs. Senola Maxwell Reeves is one of the best women drivers we have. T. S. Woods still has his Buick. "Good enough for me," he says. 16TH ANNUAL OF LEAGUE Colored Rights Body to meet in Brooklyn Sept. 26. Calls say nationwide organization to present and push just claims a primary need. A new president of U. S. urgently calls for assembly of Race from every place at home of Beecher before Congress meets. Boston, Mass., Aug. 26, 1923.—The National Headquarters of the National Equal Rights League today issued the call for the 16th annual meeting of that organization, the oldest organization for the Race's rights now extant, to be held in the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, De Kal and Franklin avenues, Brooklyn, N. Y., Rev. T. S. Harten, pastor, Sept. 26th to 29th, 1923. Colored Americans in every com m unity are urged to send representatives for an open delegated Race assembly on the new President of the U. S. A., and on getting the Race as a group into shape to effectively present and promote civil and political justice and equality before Congress meets at a session which runs into the new Presidential year. The call, signed by the National president, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, and national corresponding secretary, William Monroe Trotter, with heyquarters at 103 Court street, Boston, implores Colored Americans to rise at this hour to full Race consciousness as a numerous and politically powerful racial group in need of independent, self-initiated and united struggle by means of solid organization against strong hostility which threatens its progress and welfare. Calling attention to the "CONCORDAT," which the League brought about last March between the League, the N. A. A. C. P., African Blood Brotherhood, Friends of Negro Freedom, International Uplift League, and National Race Congress, whereby these bodies agreed upon mutual friendliness and support, declaring active membership in one should not preclude membership in any others, Page-Three the League urges the immediate and general formation of branch Leagues, or Citizens and Equal Rights Committees, to send delegates with the motive and impulse of sincere Race interest and a truly common racial cause, when a new man has suddenly become President, and a Congress which precedes a Presidential election is soon to convene. That the Convention will be held in the home of the great abolitionist, Henry Ward Beecher, in a state politically pivotal, is claimed to be advantageous. The Brooklyn Branch League, the host, with Rev. Harten as president, offers a splendid church edifice ample accommodations for delegates, also special sight-seeing and pleasure trips on the 2nd and 4th days of the session. For accommodations prospective delegates are requested to address Rev. T. S. Harten, chairman, 443 Franklin Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., and any information needed as to delegates, Citizen Committees, etc., for which no set rules obtain, may be secured by writing to the secretary, W. M. Trotter. Wanda Julia, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Corey, was christened by Rev. W. E. Shaw Sunday, 26th, 1923, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Clark, great grand parents of the baby. The sponsors were Mrs. H. G. Marquez, Mr. Edmund G. Peters and Mr. and Mrs. E. Ory. At the same time little Mary Jane Morris was christened by Rev. Shaw, Mr. and Mrs. J. Bradley Drake and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Clark standing as sponsors for the little girl, whose parent are visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clurk, 217 Cheeebro Lane. Owing to delay in receiving certain lumber shipments, St. Victor's Hall, at 16th and Essex Streets, which was to have been dedicated by the Rt. Rev. Bishop J. J. Cantwell, of the Diocese of Los Angeles on next Sunday, will not be ready for occupancy for some weeks. The impressive dedication ceremonies will be held some time in October. The exact date will be announced later in these columns. Mrs. S. E. Roberts, who formerly lived in Kansas City, Kansas, but now residing in Bakersfield, California, is visiting in Los Angeles. She is the guest of her son, Mr. W. V.

FORTS IN ANTI-LYNCHING . WAR. ~ Inter-Racial Commission Group. Sets Out on Definite Crusade—Will Seek Co-operation of Organized Wom- anhood ef Whole South. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 3.—(Special.)- At the recent annual meeting of th ‘Commission on Inter-Racial Co-opera tion, the woman's section of the Com mission brought in a vigorous Pape on lynching and asked the Commie sion to authorize that the matter b brought to the attention of the va rious women’s organizations of th South and that they all be asked t co-operate in a sustained and syste matic-effort to eradicate this grea: evil. The Commission, which hai been constantly at work toward thé same end, gladly gave its approval t the plan by unanimously adopting the Tesolutiong presented by the women which were as follows: Whereas, Lynching, at one time practiced only as punishment by the ‘mob for the violation of womanhood, is now resorted to even for robbery, petty erime, or no crime, and Whereas, At present the responsi- bility for the punishment of lynchers and the abolition of the evil rests solely in the several State Govern- ments, and Whereas, We, the Woman's Com- mittee of the Commission on Inter- Racial Co-operation- are overwhelmed with a deep sense of humiliation that thia hideous crime is heralded abroad as the only meang available to men for the protection of womanhood, and Whereas, We likewise suffer be- cause of the seeming impotence of our State Governments in the protec- tion of human life and in their inabil- ity to find and punish lynchers and members of mobs, who, in the absence of sufficient law enforcement by the regularly constituted authorities, pre- sume to assume the role of judge and jury, thus themselves becoming the greatest of law violators, therefore Be it Resolved, 1. That we deplore the failure of State Gavernments to handle this, the most conspicious ene- my to justice and righteousness, and the most flagrant violation of the Con- stitution of our great Nation. 2.

Washington, who ig divinely ‘appointed to preach the gospel, deliv- ered a magnificent sermon . His text was taken from Revelation 12:11. At 3:00 o'clock we were pleased te have Rev. George Barsoom, a native of Babylapis and a foreign mission“ ary to'speak to us. Among the many things he told © fhow he was rescued from Mohammedism and accepted Jesus. He had to undergo many per- secutions for the sake of Jesus. But in the scripture we find these words: “Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. After listening to the remarkable speaker we enjoyed the communion services as we partook of the Lord's supper . Souls were marvelously blessed and the spirit, was greatly manifested. At 5:30 o'clock the B. ¥. P. U. was opened by the president, Brother Clar- ence Jones. The lesson was discussed and a splendid program was rendered.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE LOS ANGELES GREATEST CITY IN THE COUNTY While it might seem preposterous to speak of snow where this conceal-ed moisture is seen only a few brief week of the year, and only on the tops of the lofty peaks of the Sierras, that look down upon the golden orange groves and poppy fields in the valleys below, it would appear justifiable to liken Los Angeles to a ball of the "beautiful." We all know, whether by experience, reading or hearsay, that a in size in a comparatively increasing ball of snow, moved by personal power or by its own momentum, will gain proportion as long as it continues on its way and doesn't strike a stone wall or some other obstruction of a substantial nature. In this connection Los Angeles might be properly termed a ball of snow. It required an immense amount of effort on the part of those who possessed a supreme confidence in the future of Los Angeles to start the ball rolling, as it were but they persevered, although it required years of labor and immense amounts of money. Now the ball is moving by its own momentum, to a great extent, at least, and is increasing in size in a most wonderful manner. Thus far the ball has not struck an obstruction of any material proportion. In fact, various obstacles that threatened to impede the progress of "the city beautiful" have, at one time or another, been carefully removed, principally by or at the suggestion and aid of the Chamber of Commerce, now the greatest civic organization in the world, with a membership of more than 10,000 and comprising many of those who gave the ball its original start. One of the first and, in fact, the greatest obstacles to the development of Los Angeles into a real metropolis, was the lack of an adequate domestic water supply. After several years of urgent agitation, the citizens of Los Angeles veted for an issue of $23,000,000 of bonds for the purpose of constructing an aqueduct 250 miles in length to the snow-fed Owens river. That work was the greatest ever undertaken by a city of the size of Los Angeles at that time. By the expenditure of that amount of money, however, Los Angeles not only acquired a supply of pure water sufficient for a city of nearly 3,000,000 people, but it has constructed hydroelectric power stations along the aqueduct, and is receiving a revenue from the sale of both water and electricity. Another big obstruction to the progress of Los Angeles was the lack of You Are Looking For Good Location, Price Initial Pay —Better CITY BR As Others Are Do --- Our Motto: A Square Deal To All!

There was a channel and a series of mud flats at San Pedro and Wilmington, but it was evident that Los Angeles must have a real harbor. The first step was the annexation of the San Pedro and Wilmington districts. By t he expenditure by the city of $115,000,000 and by the work of private interests at equally great expense, there has been developed a deep-water harbor that within a decade has become one of the most famous ports in the entire world. During the present year the Los Angeles harbor has become the greatest intercoastal port of the United States, not excepting New York. It is the greatest lumber port in the world and also is the greatest oil shipping port on the entire globe. Vessels plying between Los Angeles and the various ports of the world now are paying more than half of the tolls received by the United States government for passage through the Panama Canal. Los Angeles harbor not only is the greatest oil-shipping port in existence, but it is either the home port or port of call of more than sixty steamship companies, whose vessels ply one or more of the seven seas and keep Los Angeles in touch with all the ports in the civilize dwarf. Still another obstruction, because of its absence, was an industrial one. The Chamber of Commerce turned its attention to manufacturing, and thru its efforts in showing the advantages of Los Angeles as a manufacturing center, it has brought many industries here. According to a survey made by the Chamber of Commerce a total of 600 industries came to Los Angeles in 1923, increasing the number of plants of various kinds to 4200. The manufactured output of these plants last $960,000,000. There was more than $685,000,000 invested in industrial plants, with a total weekly payroll of $5,325,234. Los Angeles is growing at a rate of possibly more than 100,000 annually. it is considered certain that the city will by the end of 1923, if it has not already reached that mark, be in the million class. There is no doubt that it is the fifth city in the United States. Last year Los Angeles was third in construction operations, with a total of more than $121,000,000. That mark was passed by the middle of August, and the total for 1923 is expected to be close to $200,000,000. Los Angeles is certainly rolling along and there is nothing in the road to stop it.

No movement within recent years has created so much interest and received such a large membership enrollment as "The Commercial Council of this city of which Dr. Eugene Nelson is President and founder, Atty Louis K Becks, Secretary, and S. B. W May, Treasurer. Unlike similar organizations that have at various times been attempted this organization has started in at the very outset accomplishing things by bringing them to pass and has the ear marks of becoming even at such an early stage, one of the greatest organizations attempted to better the economic conditions of our group. Imagine fifty years back, a people hopelessly submerged in ignorance, poverty and slavery, steadily growing and expanding until in June, 1923 that same people effected an organization for the benefit of those contemplating a home, a business or an industry—and you will have a fair picture of the formation of that wonder organization—the marvel of Southern California—The Commercial Council of Los Angeles. This organization proposes to stimulate local business and manufacturers, to induce, direct and control immigration. It will afford the most reliable medium for the accommodation and benefit of persons seeking desirable homes and rest, recreation and recuperation. Whether you want a business in the city or a simple, inexpensive home in the woods, you will find it through this organization. One of its prime objects is to show, through pains-taking methods of classification, the many delights and advantages of living and investing in California and on the Pacific Coast. Descriptive circulars and booklets, other literature and statistics will be kept on hand for inspection and distribution to the general public. 1. The image contains a black background with a white border. 2. There are no visible text or other elements present in the image. 3. The image is likely a placeholder or a blank page. 4. The image does not contain any discernible text or graphics. The organization welcomes the scrutiny of the shrewd investor. The man who studies the city in which he intends to locate with the same painstaking attention to facts that he devotes to his business, is the type of man that the Commercial Council wants as a future citizen. Consider the men who founded and are backing this development. They are representative of the type of men who have marched at the forefront of Southern California's progress, giving their time and material means for the advancement of this city and Southern California. Dr. Nelson in a statement giving out for publication stated that "The needs of our group are many and these needs as well as the solution of the many problems confronting the race today can only be obtained through a concerted or organized effort on our part in which every individual man and woman must join. "I wish to explicitly state that this is not a one person's organization but an organization of, for, and governed by the group and until each and every one is awakened to their responsibility, just no long will we as a race trail in the dust of progress." Since its organization the Council has built up a splendid membership, a neat treasury and the building committee has under consideration the erection of a modern three story building to cost in the neighborhood of $30, 000. Here in a city which boasts of over eight hundred thousand population, forty-five thousand of which are colored, competition is keen and it is absolutely necessary that a spirit of conditions along all lines in general or ces organized, if we expect to better conditions-long ally lines in general or A "CITY BROTHERS' DEAL" Residence of Mr and Mrs. Walter Snell, one of 10 homes recently sold by them in this neighborhood.

EXPANDING THROUGH FRIENDSHIP. There is one firm in this city that can boast of doing a tremendous business, practically from the extensive acquaintance of its personnel. That firm is the Alexander Realty Company, of which James M. Alexander is president; Fred W. Lucas, treasurer, and Clarence A. Brooks, secretary. "About ninety-nine per cent of our clients," said Mr. Brooks in an interview, "come to our office directly thru being personally acquainted with some member of our firm or have been recommended to us by some one who has purchased a home thru us. This is indeed a very unusual condition, but it is not in the least surprising to us when we realize the amount of personal service we render our customers along with the class of homes we sell them." "We feel that the selection of a home is as much a serious and important matter as taking unto yourself a husband or wife. It is primarily for that reason we have always exercised the utmost care and thought in the selection and recommendation of homes to our friends and clients. It is needless to say that this principle has gained us many friends and the confidence of our clients and the general public."

IGNS---- HOME LIFE By R. J. City. Home life. Have you never stopped to consider the value of real home life? Its connection with your success in life; its value as to citizenship, society and social standing. There are many angles from which one may look at the proposition of owning a home. But after all we must agree with one another that home life makes each of us an asset instead of a liability to all things that go to make us better men and women. When Mr. G. W. City and myself decided to enter business here in Los Angeles we spent considerable time looking over avenues and conditions that would best fit us for rendering service, and reached the early conclusion, and time has proven our judgment to be correct, that we could best render service by helping others to help themselves buy homes in improved locations surrounded by a sanitary atmosphere that would insure health above anything, for after all, health is the most valuable thing we can have in life. And so "City Brothers" are what you might term home specialists. We confine our efforts in the main to securing at reasonable cost to the purchaser a home, a modern home, surrounded by every convenience that makes life worth Living. In fact, a close investigation of our many transactions will disclose the fact that divorce amongst our customers, and we have hundreds of them, is an unheard of thing. All are happy morning, noon and night. Owning a real home is a cure for all ills. If you don't believe it drops in and let us sell you one. NEGRO CAPITAL Los Angeles boasts of having some of the wealthiest Negroes in the country. Included in this group are several worth a quarter of a million or more, but so far as the interests and welfare of the Race is concerned, with one or two exceptions, they may as well be residents of almost any other city. If the Race is credited with accomplishing anything tending toward the betterment of living conditions here, that credit must be give into the efforts on the part of the leading real estate concerns who have shown a helping interest in co-operating and with the small investor and working classes and procuring for them, at reasonable prices, business locations and business opportunities. Los Angeles today is short hundreds of homes needed t house the thousands of immigrants today who are coming to this city with money to pay for same. But owing to the lack of interest shown by the Negros who are really in position to furnish capital, and help their own, at the same time making a reasonable profit on their mifoney so invested, better than the three and four per cent the banks offer, these same people are forced to buy or rmt second hand houses in locations fastly becoming industrialized and undesirable for home life.

True, Los Angeles is in position of boast of some fine homes and business locations owned by the Race, but if we are to keep abreast of the times—If we are to progress in the future as in the past, a change must be made, and a few of the millions held by Negro capitalists at four per cent in banks must be withdrawn and used in the purchase of ground, tracts or lots, and small sanitary houses erected to meet the present demands.
