CHURCH---MEMORIALIZED AT 8TH AND TOWNE AVENUE CHURCH PHONE 150-44 VOL. 36 NEC And Mos BISHOP ALLEN-FOUN CHURCH---MEMORIA TOWNE AVI VOL.36 RICHARD ALLEN, FIRST BISHOP OF AFRICAN DESCENT AND FOUNDER OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH MEMORALIZED AT 8TH AND TOWNE AVENUE CHURCH. Last Sunday was observed as Pounder's Day at 5th and Towne Ave. A. M. E. Church. Rev. A. Milton Ward preached at 11:00 a. m. and the two choirs, under the direction of Organist, Elmer C. Bartlett, furnished good singing. There were nine accessions to the membership of the church, in- cluding one convert. In the evening there was a big platform meeting under auspices of the Allen C. E. League. Lawyer W. O. Tyler the, interesting and forceful speaker of the evening was applauded again and again as he portrayed the life and times of Richard Allen and the early establishment of the A. M. E. Church. Mr. Tyler declared that Richard Allen, who was born Feb. 14, 1760 was the first great Christian preacher to declare for religious freedom in modern times. He was regularly ordained bishop by Bishop Asbury of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the A. M. E. Church bishops have always been recognized as full fledged bishops in any Mehtodist or other religious gatherings. Large audiences including many visitors attended both services. Among the latter was Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson. Other features of the evening program included a solo by Mrs. Florence Cole Talbert, a violin solo by our violinist. H. Atwell Rose, a vocal solo by Mrs. Mae Williams, a piano solo by Miss Thela Lowery. The Senior choir gave pleasing renditions under direction Prof. Bartlett. Mr. A. A. Thomas presided. Rev. Ward conducted the opening services. The collections for the day were more than $300.00. QUICK RESPONSES TO UNITED NEGRO APPEAL Splendid Spirit Displayed by Kelley Miller, National Equal Rights League and Other Organizations. N. A. A. C. P. Alone Declines. Secretary Johnson Sorry, But cannot Join United Front Campaign Until His Organization is Ready to Lead it. Boston, Feb.—(Crusader - Service) Dr. M. A. N. Shaw, president of the National Equal Rights League, reported a prompt and spirited response to the invitation sent out by his organization for a United Front Conference to achieve unity of purpose and action among the organizations fighting the Negro's battle for recognition and equality of treatment. The African Blood Brotherhood, the International Uplift League, the Negro Race Congress have promptly and cordially accepted the invitation in the spirit in which it was sent out. All of these organizations have expressed themselves as anxious to achieve a united front for the Negro Race in order that the light against our enemies may be waged more effectively. Of all the organizations invited to an initial conference in New York, at which plans would be laid down for a more general call, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only one to decline. The others have put the Negro's race interests above mere organizational interests or their desire to lead. The National Equal Rights League, because of the coincidence by which Prof. Miller issued a call for a Race Sanhedrin at about the same time that the League sent out its invitation by mail to the organizations mentioned, has expressed itself as willing to take in Prof. Miller in the initial conferences and is at present enclosed in negotiations with him. Prof. Miller, too, in his latest statement on the subject of a United Front has avenged a fine willingness to let others have a share in this important matter of advancing the interests of the Negro Race. Oonly the N. A. A. C. P. declines to have anything to do in any effort to save the race that is not initiated and lead by the N. A. A. C. P. The letter of Secretary Johnson to the President of the National Equal Rights League speaks for itself and constituents a terrible self-indictment against an organization that should be striving, with others, for the early achievement of a United Negro Front: Copy of Secretary Johnson's Letter January 10, 1923. Dr. M. A. N. Shaw, President, National Equal Rights League. 689 Shawmut Avenue, Roxbury, Mass. Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your communication addressed to Mr. Storey and myself, under date of Dec. 29, relative to the calling of a conference of representatives of the various organizations negaged in work for the rights of the colored people. I wish to say in reply that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People began some weeks ago drawing preliminary plans for the holding of a great conference which will embrace a larger representation than merely the several organizations engaged in the specific work of securing civil rights. We feel however, that such a conference should be, carefully planned and worked out with great thoroughness. Therefore, we are not prepared to say now just how soon we can put the project under way. When we are ready it will be a great pleasure for us to invite the cooperation of other organizations and individuals who are interested in the question. Yours very truly, (Signed) JAMES W. JOHNSON, Secretary Mr. and Mrs. Bass, Los Angeles, Calif. Oh! I understand now, upon receipt of your Christmas number, why the shadow of the "Soaring Eagle" fell, on this side of the Rockies, and that we have heard its triumphant scream. My wife and I have read your editorial sections with avidity, but we missed the "Hog Section".....so I said, J. B. "hogged" that one. It truly does up proud to note your steady progress and like the noble bird adopted for your motto, may each gyration of your upward fight become wider and wider until the California Eagle shall overshadow our entire country with its beneficial and elevating influence, and help to mould a wholesome public opinion for the guidance of a nation. There is much inspiration to be drawn from the characteristics of the Eagle, because he, of all birds, dares to soar thru heaven's unfathomable heights, flaunts his wings in the very thunder's home, braves the northern hurricane, then poises to rest on the lofty mountain crag. Hence his thoughts and actions are always above the fog, out of the mire and muck of swamps and valleys. In these virtues I am glad to see the Soaring Eagle set an example for other journals, in helping to mould public sentiment and thereby aiding spiritual progress of a Race. I ento advance the economic, mental and close Postal Order for one year's subscription and may the EAGLE ever scream with righteous indignation when needful and useful. As ever, Yours very truly, J. H. KELLY. 914 Frederick Avenue, St. Joseph, Missouri, Feb. 10, 1923. LOS ANGELES FINEST POLICE ON DRESS PARADE It was indeed an inspiring sight as the police force marched down Broadway on last Thursday which was its annual inspection day, all resplendent in their brand new uniforms and new shields, they presented an inspiring sight. Sprinkled throughout the more than one thousand officers A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA FEBRUARY 24, 1923 were the colored officers demonstrating that Los Angeles is a real democratic city and that all forces are with each other to keep the city great. The procession was headed by the incomparable police and fireman's band, followed by Chief Louis Oaks, Inspector Jackson, Chief Homes and staffs followed by the several battalions of officers. GIRL SHOOTS HER LOVER Out on East 23rd Street (not Central Avenue) Number 1622 on last Wednesday night Irma Brown in a fit of jealous rage over the action of her lover, in keeping company with another woman, fired two shots at Richard Richmond, both of which found their mark on his body, one shot hitting him in the groin and another in his leg. Richmond is in the hospital in a serious condition while Irma Brown is in jail pending the result of his injuries. It is said that the Brown woman is the housekeeper for Richmond and when he failed to come home at the usual time she went down town to look him up. When found, he was dining with another lady. She created a scene and Richmond ordered her home, to which place she went, but she did not relish the situation and got hold of Richmond's gun. It is further stated that she put it in her bosom and told another girl, Beatrice Morgan that when Richmond did come home she was going to kill him and from the above results it seems that she endeavored to carry out her threat. She made her escape after the shooting but was arrested the next morning by officers, Thornton, Glenn, Stevens and Kimbrough. BLACK-FACED ROBBER SHOT TO DEATH BLACK-FACED ROBBER SHOT TO DEATH High School Student One of Few Caught in Popular Trick. (Crusader Service) KANSAS CITY, Feb. 23.—His face smeared with charcoal and his body clothed in overalls and a jumper, Ray C. Bishop, nineteen, white, student and member of the Central High School football squad, turned bandit last night, robbed two gasoline filling stations of approximately $22 and was shot to death in a gun battle with a policeman after wounding the latter. Lawrence W. Ferguson twenty-five, chauffeur at the Sheffield Police Station, bounded by the youth, is in the General Hospital with a bullet in his groin. He will recover. Through tear-dimmed eyes, the youth's gray-healed mother, Mrs. William H. Bishop, looked at the black smudged face of her son two hours after the tragedy. "I can't believe it is my boy," she said brokenly. "He was too good for that." The news came to Otto Dubach, Principal of Central High School, as a shock. His voice grew husky as he narrated the virtues of young Bishop, whom he characterized as a "splendid type of young manhood, rugged, bashful, athletic studious and loved by his companions." Yet on the desk of the Sergeant at the Sheffield Police Station lies a $23 callbler revolver taken from the lad's pocket, a jumper and a pair of overalls, the former stained with blood, which he wore when he fell—and $22 in bills. And in the General Hospital, Ferguson, bullet through his right groin and the red streak of another across his chest, testified between groans that Bishop fired first. Mrs. Lucille Shell, that inspired and beloved woman evangelist, is newly returned from Bowls, California. In that town she has just brought to a close a rousing revival, which resulted in some sixty new members for the church, and five baptisms. Mrs. Shell's seafront offices are always well rewarded by a generous harvest of souls. ```markdown ``` This eminent sociologist and statistician has given upward of five years to an intensive study of the Negro in America before, during and after the war.

WHITE CIVILIZATION IN DEATH THROES No One Knows What Forces Will Rule A Year From Now, British Scholar Asserts Wells in Agreemnt. English Intellectuals Paint Gloomy Picture of White Race's Future—Capitalist Civilization Doomed. (Crusader Service) LONDON, Feb. 23.—Modern civilization is falling in ruins, in the belief of Professor Graham Wallas, British classical scholar and economical lecturer at London University and the latest of the intellectuals to cast a gloom picture of civilization's future. Fifteen hundred years ago, says Wallas, ancient civilization was visibly falling in ruin Today history is repeating itself. "Alaric had just sacked Rome; Atilla was a boy of 17, dreaming of still worse disasters that he was to inflict upon the Western world, and the vandals were pressing on toward the destruction of civilization in north Africa," Wallas said in speaking of the year 423. "All the structure of government on which the ancient world as organized by Rome had depended had come to an end. Roman law was no longer valid. All habits, all loyalties, all ideas, all philosophies, all religions of the ancient world were passinb away, and men have asked themselves at that time and if the mind of man was strong and wise enough to keep the reconstruction of the world under control or whether disaster must come." And then Professor Wallas flicked through the ages and brought up with a sharp halt on the threshold of 1923. "In 1923," he declared, "a problem of more than equal magnitude is before us. The material world—the world that slowly and painfully created itself upon the fragments of the Roman civilization—is falling in ruins. "No one knows what is government in China; no ones knows what will be the government a year hence in Russia; no one knows what will be the government in Germany, in italy or in Spain. Right across, from the Atlantic is the Pacific, right across the great Eurasian continent, the old system has fallen in ruins, and the danger we have to face is greater and more intense than the danger with which the world was confronted at the fall of ancient civilization." For one reason, the danger is greater today according to Professor Wallas, because our social system is definitely more complex. A few farmers amidst the clearings of forests, a handful of shepherds out in the plains have given way to millions of industrialized and concentrated factory BOLDEST workers. The professor continued: "The very existence of the present population of the Eurasian continent depends upon organization means to reduce the population to something like what it was at the fall of the ancient world." Confesses 8 Murders; Wrong Man Lynched MAN LYNCHED (Crusader Service) Waco, Texas, Feb. 23.

Barker and Homer Turk, for which two Negroes are now in prison. One of them, Cooper Johnson, is under a death sentence. CONVICTS NEED THE LASH! GEORGIA PRISON HEAD MAKES STATEMENT (Crusader Service) ATLANTA Feb. 23.—Convicts cannot be worked on the roads of Georgia without the lash as a means of enforcing discipline, according to the opinion of members of the state prison commission, expressed in a conference here with Governor Hardwick in regard to the abolition of whipping in the convict camps and at the state prison farm. Governor Hardwick has been urged to issue an executive order putting an end to the lash. The majority of Georgia "convicts" are Negroes picked up on one flimsy charge ro another. LEAP FROM FLAMES FATAL TO WOMAN Three Women and Four Firemen Hurt in Lodging House Blaze in New York Negro District. NEW YORK, Feb. 23.— Mrs. Clara Wilkinson, 27, was killed yesterday, three other colored women and four white firemen were hurt in a blaze which swept swiftly through ha four-story lodging house at 130 West 53 Street with wiirlwind velocity. Flames and smoke pinned six occupants against windows, from which three jumped and were hurt and two were rescued by firemen. The sixth, a woman, remained astride a window still until the flames had been put out. Next door to the fire 150 cats and dogs in the New York Canine Infirmary, were thrown into a panic by the smoke. About three o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Liza Southernland, who is 85 years old, and who lived on the second floor of the lodging house with her daughter, Mrs. Clark, decided to cook herself a late lunch. She stuck a match to light the gas stove, but her unsteady hand brought the flame too near a curtain. In a moment this had blazed up, and the flames had spread to other objects. The aged woman tried vainly to put on the fire, and then ran screaming out of the building, leaving the doors open. Mrs. Southernland's screams were heard by Mrs. Moran, a white woman who, with her husband, managed the lodging house, and who ran to her own rooms on the third floor rear, closed the three doors and shouted "Fire" from the window. "Closing the doors behind me was the only thing that saved me "Mrs. Moran said later in describing the fire. "I sat astride the window still determined that I wouln't jump except as a last resort. Woman Jumped From Above Her. "As the smoke become denser I heard Mrs. Brown in the window above me scream 'Look out!' and when the smoke cleared a little I saw her lying unconscious in the snow in the yard. In the window at my right I saw Clara Wilkinson intermittently through the smoke. She cried out to me. 'What shall I do?' I replied, 'Stay right where you are.' She screamed back: 'My God, I can't.' Theames ar Heiress and Dauhter of Madam C. J. Walker Thrills Large Audience at 8th nd Towne Ave. Church On Trip to Holy Land Heiress and Dauhter of Madam C. J. Walker Thrills Large Audience at 8th nd Towne Ave. Church On Trip to Holy Land on my back! A moment later she had thrown herself into the yard below. Mrs. Moran described the rescue of Florine Perry from a window above her. As the flames neared the window, Fireman Edward Dornself of Truck 2, held by his legs from the roof by Lieutenant Robert Jackson and Fireman John Tucker of the same company, reached into the fourth story window and caught the young woman and his comrades pulled him again to the roof. Flames were spurting from the second, third and fourth story windows and were seething through the hall. Fireman William Kennedy and Chief Dennis Curtin hastily raised a ladder to a third floor front window, at which Mrs. Adele Smith was crying for help, and Kennedy then brought her down. Reserves were called out from the West 47th Street Station House to control the crowds which pressed against the fire lines. Traffic in several streets were interrupted for more than an hour. The damage was estimated at $10,000. Mrs. Wilkinson died at midnight in Bellevue Hospital, where Miss Brown is in a critical condition with a fractured skull. BRITISH FEAR CRISIS IN NEAR EAST BY HOLY WAR See Prestige, Built Up With Infinite and Brutal Care, Collapsing before Antagonism of Moslems. Failed in Efforts to Divide. Islam Unitedly Opposes Puppet Head of Faith by Wily Englishmen. ((Crusader Service) PARIS, Feb. 23.—From that region of Central Arabia which is unknown to white men by reason of the fierceness of its warrior population. 300,000 Wahabites, armed with modern weapons of war, gallop toward Mecca. They want the head of the puppet king whom the British are backing as Head of Islam in the effort to divide the Faithful and dissipate the strength of a United Islam. The success of the Wahabites would mean the collapse of a branch of English intrigue, for which several hundred natives have been murdered and many others thrown into jail in an effort at stern repression of Moslem repugnance to alien rulers. By setting up a new "Head of Islam" who was a mere puppet in the hands of the British, the latter had hoped to abate the menace of an united uprising of Islam's hundreds of millions of followers, from the Pacific Islands across Asia and Africa to the Atlantic coast of northern Africa. Therefore the chancellories of Europe are ill at ease at the failure of the British intrigue and the challenge constituted in those 300,000 Wahabites who are rushing fearlessly to meet the British forces and their puppet "Head of Islam" at Mecca, the holiest of the Holy Cities of the Mohammedan Faith. This fear of a religious or racial war, in which the colored races of the world would be pitted against the now depleted and terribly weakened white race, inspired France's friendly policy toward all Mussulmans and her cultivation of the Negro population of her African empire. It was this fear that filled the minds of her diplomats when they made treaties with the Turks and it was behind England's time-worm policy of dividing the followers of Mohamet under the old Roman plan of "divide and rule." This fear caused France to surrender to the Turks in Cilicia and to sign the accord of Angora. But this also was the reason why England backed the Greeks in their attempts to establish themselves in Asia Minor and why she proclaimed King Hausselin the Khalif of all Islam. Only in both cases the British intrigulists miscalculated badly. They did not correctly gauge the power of resistance of the Turks, nor have they shown that they $2.00 THE YEAR NO. 48 EST hes L. A.

And at the evening service "Christ typified by the handful of corn in the mount." Both sermons were full of interest and inspiration and highly enjoyed by an appreciative audience.

On last Sunday afternoon at St. Paul A. M. E. Church an interesting program was rendered by the Junior. Mrs. E. L. Dawking was in charge and Mrs. Harte, the organist presided at the piano. The singing was especially good and showed the care of well trained voices. The paper by Mrs. Boykins on "Our Country" was very much enjoyed by all. It pointed to the upift work that we are all so busily engaged in. At the close of the program Mrs. Dawkins invited her guests in the dining room where a delicious repast had been prepared by herself as only she knows how to prepare it and entertained them in her charming way.

BRITISH FEAR CRISIS IN NEAR EAST BY HOLY WAR understand the new spirit of Islam as evinced through the Turks, and in India and Africa today. Theoretically, England's plans were excellent, but, practically, France seems to have been backing the right horse. For a moment, especially when the Sultan was ordered out of Constantinople and his nephew was proclaimed the new Khalif or head of Islam, it looked as though England. All forces are directed against one enemy-anti-Semitism and the programs if engenders. IS OFFICIALLY SECRET Although it has been in existence for more than a year, it is officially secret. For purposes of clarity is best to summereze the present situation of the Jews, especially in view of the misinformation spread in the outside world regarding their role in the Soviet Government. Anti-Semitism still exists in Russia, particularly among the peasants. The Soviet Government has taken measures to suppress persecution of Jews, but was compelled to relinquish an apparently hopeless task. So the worm of history turned—little less than a year ago. It was toward the end of the numerous counter revolutions in Ukraine. Whatever else happened, the Jewish population invariably suffered most in these clashes from the anti-Soviet forces. Failing in their task of overthrowing the Soviets, the interventionists fell upon Jewish villages and tortured and killed with savage abandon. Everywhere you go you hear of these pogroms, most of them to horrible to repeat. With rare sagacity, a group of Jewish Zionists seized the first meagre opportunity. Groups of Jews were formed throughout the country. Their leaders told Soviet officials this volunteer army would drive out the bandits and interventionists from outlying villages and thus save the Red Army the task. Arms Are Provided Them The Soviets agreed, arms were provided and every facility given. All Jewish men between the ages of eighteen and fifty were taught the art of shooting straight and then despatched to the scattered fronts. The pogroms had driven the Jews out of the villages and left them stranded in the three big cities of the Ukraine—Kharkov, Kieff and Odessa. From these points the new warriors marched on their old homes. They were successful. Led often by patriarchal rabbis, accompanied by their wives and children, they descend upon their occupied homes and fought with the strength of despair. What the casualties were no one will ever know, for no official record has been kept. But it is known they were heavy. Once in possession of a village, the Jews made it an armed camp. Sentries were stationed on the outskirts. Armed men patrolled the treet day and night. At the first signal of trouble every man and boy rushed out with his weapons. Demanded New Rights All through that thickly populated section verging toward the Polish and Roumainian borders this was recreated. The Jews won back their homes, and as victors they demanded new rights. They no longer cried before the peasant. They had gained new self-respect. After the invaders had been ousted the Jews still maintained their organization. Here and there groups of drunken peasants turned upon them. Before the Jew would have submitted. Now he shot back and won. From my interviews with members of this new army, it was apparent that they realized the Soviets inflicted the death penalty upon anti-Semitic offenders, but—the Jews could not wait for the commission of the crime and then the dispensing of justice. They had armed themselves to forestall and to prevent. Punishment after the crime was not enough, although during Czarist days the Government winked at persecution of Jews and indulged in this pastime itself.

WHEATON THE NORTHEN TREK It is estimatet that over 50,000 Negroes have left the South in past ninety days. They have come from the rural districts of the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama. In most of cases they have drifted to the industrial centers of the North and middle West States, which because of the wage inducements seem alluring. The Press, both North and South, and according to the angle from which they approach it, are giving their different versions of the exodus. Political unrest. Taxation without representation. The desire for better living conditions for themselves, and greater educational facilities for their children. The South's utter disregard for their property rights and the flandish neglect to protect them from the hands of the assassin, have, without the shadow of a doubt, been potent factors in the migration. RESPONSIBILITY Whatever the cause of their emigration a responsibility for their welfare rests upon those Negroes who are conversant with the environs of the more liberal sections of the United States. There is no denying the fact that the more illiterate class of the Negro emigrants takes undue advantage of their newly acquired liberty, and fail to appreciate them at full value. Whether it is liked or not the Negro who is as painted with ways of the community in which he resides, must take upon himself the task of educating the new arrivals as to their conduct. For every ten Negroes emigrating from the land "buxus" there are nine whites, and they are not the best class of whites either. They bring with them the prejudices or race which has so permeated their systems that death alone will be the only educator. Not alone do they bring with them the prejudices of a subtle system of prejudice that, unless it is combated with skill, will have a spiended chance of taking root in the North. "BLACK MAMMY STATUE" One of the most subtle means of perpetuating the humiliation of the Negro is the bill in the Senate sponsored by Sharp Williams to commemorate in marble the loyalty of the "Black Mammes of ante-Bellum days." Such a proposition coming from such a source, is the most insulting piece of racial humiliation the Race has ever been offered. After debauching our womanhood, who suffered the sensual attacks of their masters under stress, and creating a race which strigles for a place in the sun, they would now perpetuate their bestiality by erecting a marble shaft to the women who through instinct of feminine loyalty, kept a vigil over the safety of the wives and children of the men who were striving to keep them in bondage. It was not enough to create a mongrel race by debauching the womanhood of the helpless peoples whom they held as chattel, but now they propose to tell the world by the erection of a marble statue that they have a pride in their bestial accomplishment. All of the bronze and marble shafts that the South might erect would not, could not, atone for the tears of those enslaved women when their children, even the offspring of their masters, were torn from their breasts and sold into a distant land. We knew that John Sharp Williams was capable of doing many things that would bring humiliation to our people, but of all the subtle forms for humiliation, the "Black Mammy" statue is the limit. FAITH Nothing, political, religious or otherwise, in the controversial line would be complete without the "Negro in it." Dr. Grant, Episcopalian shocked the Protestant faith by his declaration of disbelief in the divine origin of Christ. Then comes Rabbi, Wise, Jew, douncing the story of the perception of the Ten Commandments by Moses must fire and smoke on Mount Sinai, and last but not least, Dean William Pickens, who flings the assumption that there is a Hell, a Lake that burns with fire and brimstone. Many good Baptist and Methodist preachers will question the proclivity to "Heresy" voted by the Dean, and we expect to see him deluged by the Philips and Polemics that will be hurled at his devoted head. Few of us care about the origin, but we do know that if the world adhered to the Sermon on the Mount, or lived according to the precepts of the Ten Commandments it would be a pleasanter place for many of us. TARDY RECOGNITION In the Valley of the Kings, Egypt: They have exhumed the remains of Tut-Ankh-Amen, who ruled, and was buried thirty centuries ago. We cannot find in the history of the past where he eut so much of a figure but civilized curiosity has unearthed his burial place and brought to the light of day the treasure that was intered with him. A few weeks ago even the name was unknown, possibly one in a million, with the exception of Egyptologist or Archeologist who make special studies of antiquity. But today "But" as he is familiarly termed by the news writers is on the tongues of millions, even school children. Thirty centuries seem a long time to wait for the adoration and reverence of the people, but what is the paltry sum of thirty centuries in the plan of the infinite. Maybe in that length of time many of us will receive our "just deserts." Who can tell! We Negroes growl because we think that we have not accomplished what we should in seventy years.

Discontent is the lever of progress and it is hoped that we may ever be discontented, even thirty centuries from now. If it is as some of us believe, and the spirit which dwelt in the "tentment of clay" can watch over the things of earth, it would be worth while if we could know just what that ancient Ruler thinks about the desecration of his burial place. THE BYSTANDER Why the United Daughters of Commerce should resolve to erase a stance in Washington in honor of the "Black Man Way" is an emblem that correlates in most optimistic mind. Such strangle and unvicious philanthropy at this day and time ought and indeed is beyond customary comprehension. The United Daughters of Commerce holders and Kell Kirk Klein in most have a quartet of shade and embarrassment which they hope to wash their hands of as Pilate and to this end effect such a meaningless remembrance. If these good, kind hearted ladies really wish to do something worthy of their time and effort let them prevail upon their relatives, friends and neighbors to cease lynching, abolish the Ku Klux, destroy mob violence, eradicate Jim-Crowism, stop race propaganda and race hatred. There is not a black mammy who toils nad labors here or peeps down from the pearlygates of heaven that would not gladly endorse this program as a fit and just commemoration of all that she did or attempted to do. A Little Research From down in good old Texas comes the news that one Roy Mitchell, a mulatto, has confessed to a series of horrible murders and rapes. This chap is either a genius for crime or a colossal liar. Should he be telling the truth it would be interesting to delive into his ancestry and find the lusty old rascal from which block Mitchell was a chip and report the same to the Daughters of Confederacy, the builders of monuments, and maybe they will formulate an idea that charity begins at home. KEEP TRYING Busy Central Avenue stopped long enough to suggest a very timely idea which was veryibly presented to the public by a local paper. The proposition of buying Miss Coleman, the aviatrix, a new plane should argue itself most convincingly into the minds of most people. This plucky young lady deserves our encouragement for her nerve and effort. She is willing to teach us a subject that attracts the world. During war trained men got the choice of ease and comfort, during peace some tly over cities and wreak vengeance on those below as they stand trembling and helpless. We need to learn and know about flying as any other race for any emergency. If buying Miss Colman another plane will give us access to the air, it's best to PARIS, Feb. 23—Battling Siki is to be restored to good standing in the boxing game and reinvested with all the titles taken from him when the French Boxing Federation celebrates its twentieth anniversary next Monday, it was asserted today by Siki's attorney.

MAN, Prop. PHONE: SO. 6759 MALNUTRITION MAKE CHILDREN BAD NEW YORK. Feb. 23—The Children's Aid Society has found by a series of investigations that children are still suffering from the unemployment crisis of two years ago. A jobless period which their elders have forgotten is still markedly affecting the children, who through the several months it lasted had little to eat, and not the right things for growing bodies when they got it. The society, after making this interesting survey of home conditions of children in the crowded sections of the city, is therefore in a position to warn parents to find out exactly what makes Jonny throw stones, break windows, fight and tear his clothes before they use the hairbrush. The invariable connection between the so-called "bay boy" and under-nourishment has been discovered by the society in conjunction with the city health department. They point out that animals will go any distance for salt, a boy minus his daily supply of vitamines is just as restless as any other animal out on a salt hunt. And being small and inarticulate, at least about expressing his needs, he tries out his settlement in the only way he knows. He bothers his family, touches his little sister, and throws umballs in school.

Next day the party is ready and starts on the journey for the hurried city, with Jamba directing because of his father's illness. Juba's paeoniay and anger are aroused at the sight of Anelo, whom she blames for her sorrow, but she tells Anelo of the plot. Juba is too weak to make the journey, so Anelo hurries with two natives to Contier's rescue. VII. Jamba and Jack are well ahead of the procession. They have been engaged in friendly conversation. At times they would stop, when Jack's curiosity was around over some object, and Jamba gave explanations. The party has moved along without mishap, save when a group of natives ran across a panther and speared it to its death. The chief's son had made his arrangements. He would put his plans into effect when the time came. He talked continually with Jack and gave Jack no cause for suspicion. Jack howeyer, was cognizant of his surroundings. Meontime. Anelo has taken a short cut, hoping to reach the fatal place before the excavating party. She has with her two faithful guides on whom she feels she can rely in the event of trouble. "Do you think he will be in time to prevent any harm to Jack?" Anelo asked one of the guides. "If we can reach Leopard's Lair. That is a dangerous point. There are so many tricky guards who keep theates to the colony of guttured casts. If Jamba takes a notion to "oopardise the lives of the men and us make futile the efforts of the swimmer." "We must hurry!" said the girl "This terrible thing must not happen." So they sped on their steeds which they obtained from the missionary, John Fringes. The day had become intensely hot. They had before them yet, a journey of two miles. When they reached the thickets they would have to go on footed that would retard their progress. But nothing could stop them now. The men were armed heavily so that they could cope with almost any situation. The excavation party has moved along, and is not far from the famous place known as "Leopard's Lair." Two of Jamba's men have joined him and Jack. Jamba speaks to one of them in a native tongue an itch sends him far ahead with a message to the guards of Leopard's Lair. (To be continued.) CUB CAPER CUB CAPER By Leon Whitaker Jeff Brown, the nighting 125 pounder took his bout with ease when the cub varsity boxing team met Cal-Tek in first boxing meet of the year. Friday of this week. Jeff battled to a decision over McNeil of U. C at Los Angeles in the inter-class elimination tryouts. Wilayn Stovall took second place in the high jump at 5 feet and 11 inches in the A. A. U. meet at Occidental last Saturday, defeating Alma Richardson one of the contestants in the last Olympian Games in Europe. Edgar Johnson, the debonair youth with knockout punch in working at the postoffice. The coach wants Edgar out for the boxing team, but he seems to prefer this heroic task of working all night and going to school all day. Organizations are taking a decided hold upon Branch students. We understand that there is a sorority on foot among the young ladies, and that Erskine Ragland, Summer Thompson and Wilyan Stovall have been initiated into the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. Speaking of men that are men, and not just parlor and tea room decorations along with the other social funiture, that is just what the majority of men at the Branch are trying to be. We take our hats off to those men who attend the University under extenuating circumstances. Lorenz Graham is just one more of those men, who are seeking higher learning entirely dependent upon their resources. There is an 18-year old Sophomore in the Pre-Medic College in the person of Miss Hoffman. Better look to your pars, boys. Sorry to mention the same persons so much, but, unfortunately, we can't get any scandal on any body else. The women are studying diligently, the men are studying diligently, and all unite in saying, after Lincoln's and Washington's birthday holidays that the high-school never was like this! Visitors are welcome at the smoker next Tuesday night. LAMBDA CHAPTER OF OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY ORGANIZED IN LOS ANGELES The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity is approaching the cosmic vantage of national predominance with amazing alacrity, and in this way has formu the science of our present ideals. Unattractively relentless this organization, established upon fundamental principle of sterling quality, not quantity, has demonstrated advantageously to thinking men, with reciprocal values, the all importance of creative effort when sustained to reach a goal of a distinctive achievement. Today, there are literally a score of men holding deserved places in the If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—YOU May Never Know It Happened limelight of public opinion who in the sense of self-realization and self respect, tower conspicuously above the goodly fellowship of men. It follows therefore, that silently but closely observing these metrical strides for predominance, a group of young men with Kingly virtues and matured skill have organized the Lambda (the 30th) Chapter to cater to only socially resourceful and scholastically eminent, young men. Such a chapter organized in Los Angeles with its remarkable proximity to academy and library, where culture is appreciated, and ability commended, must recognize the individual needs of young men who seek not to arrive in the limelight of public opinion; but in the sense of self-realization. Moreover, it must establish better and higher principles in the minds of our young men. It must teach them the value of organized society, to utilize physically, mentally, intellectually, and spiritually. It must create withing them a willingness, a readiness, and an ableness to render real service, and instill within them the value of self-respect. Mr. William Peterz with unwearied enthusiasm and touching idleness has made possible this asset to mentally alive young men. Mr. Peterz still in the hay-day of youth, is working for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in Pathology, University of Southern California. His brilliant personality fills a deserved place in Lincoln, California, and Southern California Universities, and as Basilieu we are confident that he shall bring to book, with a youthful buoyancy, the softening influence of the late Colonel Young, and the throbbing personality of Charles Gilpin, as illustrative Omega examples for his fellow-brothers. Mr. Lloyd Griffith a pre-legal student in University of Southern California, and a lad who writes a phrase that casts a purple shadow, has been elected as Keeper of Records. With coptic fonts of thought, and illusions of logic, Mr. Griffith is preeminished to secure an impregnable stronghold for the organization in Los Angeles. Mr. Erskin Ragland Southern Branch of the University of California, a glorious monastery of power and enlightened judgment, has been selected to serve as Keeper of Seals. Mr. Ragland is pursuing the degree of Bachelor of Science and he is of that thorobinary vigorous character which gives men a tremendous impetus to grapple with the stern realities of life. Wilkins, Stowall. University of California, an authority of contemporary athletics; and a forpidable sprinter as well, has been chosen as Chaplain. With reverence and earnest supplication. Mr. Stowall shall support the cherished flegals of the organization; and as an athlete, he is predicted to kindle the imagination of his adversaries in every feat, however seen the competition may be. Messrs. Thomas Griffith. Chauncey Townsend, and Summer Thompson have been initiated into the chapter; and as indispensable parts of the whole they are offering a dazzling contrast to evil and undesirable influences which reciprocally lead to sterile death. Mr. Griffith glorifies the commonplace, and basks in appreciation of the philosophy of the true land beautiful in Art and Literature. As a singer, his voice is clear and flute-like, and as a scholar—the very incarnation of colossal, good sense. Mr. Townsend is of that dynamic personality who brings to every effort a keen insight, a broad understanding of life, and the fastidious appreciation of an artist. Mr. Thompson is delicately susceptible to every towering influence which points the way to supremacy. As an industrious student surveying the panorama of Electrical Engineering in the University of California, Thompson is painstaking, and profits by his work with a joy unspeakable. This triumphant victory over the sordid influences of life which drive our young men to perilation with unutterable relentlessness, is unwaveringly approved by the representative men and women of Los Angeles; and with clarity of every obstruction the Lambda chapter of the Omega Phi Phi shall pave the way to success with amazing precision. Men who live on the mere surface of life: retrogrades and predestinated criminals enter not in the consciousness of this organization of young men. Excelsior is written on their brows; and with luminous insight, the feats performed by them shall be of charity uplift, perseverance, and sublime achievement. To prepare young men for a life of usefulness, to contribute to the welfare of 14,000,000 of black folk, to readjust a misconstrued world with legendary valor and consummate prudence is the ultimate aim of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity which has augmented the transcending prosperity of its constituents. Occasionally we hear the hammering of our comrades who have gone aloft. We too shall go aloft by using as a medium, creative effort, the goal of conscious evolution. IN THE MUSIC WORLD IN THE MUSIC WORLD BY: JOHN A. GRAY "Music as a Therapeutic Measure" is the title of a very interesting article by Robert L. Sumwalt, C. E., which was published in the Musical Courier recently. We quote at random from his article: "To the Greeks, music had reference to any act over which the Muses presided. In the present day the word is restricted to that special art which makes use of the phenomena of sound in order to react upon the aud The California Eagle FEATURE SECTION Edited by WENDELL P. GLADDEN, Jr. tive sensation of the brain. In medicine, music signifies that art which gives harmonic life to the aesthetic emotions which in turn exercise a most powerful influence over the human organism. "The ancient Greeks thought the flute could affect a cure and they gave as their belief this quotation: 'Soul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.' It was their belief that if one were bitten by the tarantula there was no way of saving life except by music. It was customary, therefore, for whole bands of musicians to traverse Italy in such efforts. In 1892 Dr. J. Ewing Hunter made a study of the theatrical virtues of music with a piano placed in a sick ward. He stated that the diminution of pain was very marked in many cases and that seven out of ten noted cases were benefited in so far as a reduction of temperature was recorded. "Dr. Beschinsky, a Russian physician, attended a three-year old child in 1896 who suffered from sleepiness due to night terrors. He advised the child's mother to play one 'of Chopin's waitzes. The effect was immediate and satisfactory.'" 00 Dr. James T. R. Davison, formerly senior house surgeon to the Liverpool Royal Southern Hospital, states: "Music exercises its influence over the human organism in the relief of pain. Pain is a special condition of the sensorium felt as distress and is due to a special stimulation of central or peripheral origin. Music is likewise a special stimulation which traveling from the periphery by other routes reaches the sensorium and then gives rise to sensation felt as pleasure. In the sensorium these two sensations have to struggle for existence as they cannot exist simultaneously and whatever of the two adapts itself more comfortably to the then returning conditions of that central organ will gain the day. When the victorious sensation is that of pleasure, pain will cease to exist, but as the conditions of the sensorium are not exactly identical in any two cases music will sometimes be powerless to dislodge pain from its stronghold. "Our business men know the part that music plays in their lives and that it is having a wonderful effect on the people in general. A lecturer on music might shout his lungs out impressing this fact, but when the men and women of this country in love with efficient, clean dealing, with personal initiative and energy which eventually spells success, see a man like Pierre du Pont and Charles Schwab advocating musical culture and confessing to the aid it has given them in crowded hours, they begin to think of the subject from a new viewpoint." Much has been said and written about the value of music in hospitals, but apparently no one had ventured to prescribe dennite pieces for particular adiments before Mrs Isa Maud Hissen, director of hospital music in reconstitution hospitals for the American Red Cross, Mrs Hissen now occupies also the chair of musicn-trapy in Columbia University, New York in her own words, she is trying to coordinate music with living and making the former the greatest possible instrument for Americanization. She had a wide experience before the war in the use of music in curative and penal institutions, and now believes that the time is near when a musical director will be as indispensable an officer in a hospital as an operating surgeon. Of her first class in Columbia University, twelve are now engaged in active musical work in civil hospitals and other institutions. In Allentown, Pa., is a hospital that requires its nurses to take a two years course in voice culture to qualify for work in the institution. Says a contributor to the New York Times Magazine describing Mrs Isa's work: If you are troubled with insomnia, why not try a serenade? To be really up-to-date, you should have a fling at musicotherapy. If you suffer from sclatica, or shell-shock, or fumabago, or housemaid's knee, take a harmonic prescription. A bare-colle or a sonata may bring you out of the Slough of Despondency into new life. If this has a flippant sound it is not because the practitioners of the new system of healing do not take it seriously. The value of music was demonstrated during the world war. Long hikes were seemingly shortened by the singing of songs. Weary struggleg took heart and gathered courage to continue trudging through the mud. In the recreational huts, at rest camps into the streets, music was carried by the dough-boy, and the songs they learned as rookies were sung when veterans. A California judge recently opened his court with music and found that the whole day went more smoothly and that everyone seemed in better mood. We read also that a young girl underwent an operation with no anesthetic other than the soft strains of music. In the case of the insane the results have been startling. If you should get up on the wrong side of the bed any morning try listening to beautiful music for a few minutes before going out into the world. It will make your day more pleasant for you and for those with whom you come into contact. This is easy to do in these days with the aid of the phonograph. --- New Fed Constitution A. Pippin; Annual Championship, Tourney On Our Heels (By: WILLIAM MELLS WATSON) 1555 Court St. Wilshire 1812 If poor old John William Marshall Dunn three years president of the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs and author of most of the Fed's new constitution and by-laws can be in order to succeed himself at the election next month let us hope and pray that the dear brothers' path is not so rocky as during the past struggle, as Bill deserves a better fate. Most any other human would have hopped that job years ago but not this tough bird. Every time a militant snuck William along side of the kisser he snuggly turned the other cheek, which is some test. The new law book puts a kick into the Fed's activities and doesn't stand for a lot of child's play. If a club's representative is absent, it is just too bad. If he or she is present but not huffy and fails to vote on the issue that is also sad, a quarter's worth, and no pay, no come next time please. If you don't like the way Mrs. Huff's petticoat sags don't tell her so, swallow it until after the meeting, then meet her in the alley, or it'll cost U more dimes and nickles. Five buttons is the new app for a club's membership, and tour more iron men are collected annually as dues. If said club lags three months, we are very sorry, but suspension is in order. The official Referee is the Harry Lee Woolwine of the Fed., and prosecutors serious offender with disproportion of law. Except during a dispensation period, granted by the Fed, prey, no subordinate club may finger less than two dollars and two quarters ($2.50) as an initiatory membership fee, this being the minimum. One rep in the Fed for every ten members is still law, also club are assessed according to membership. This item was as hot as a brand new bunion in summer time, and may still result in one burial. As a whole the new code of "Cushing and Roberts" adopted at the last seance is the cat's side pockets, and leads toward a wonderful and constructive future for the Federation and tennis in the West. A rule isn't worth a dime if not enforced and Wm. M. D. is one of the best little enforcers in town, so well hafta wait until Wednesday. March 7 to decide whether Oakland, Seattle-Salt Lake City or Hawaiian Islands gets the Pacific Coast Championship tournament 1923, but we will admit that Frisco holds about a ninety nine per cent edge on other noncontenders. Truth is on the Angelos want to see just what the Northernners who at our last event pulled but one leg of the eight championships out of the fire, can do on their home lot. A thorough cleaning is predicted for our efforts, but many doubting Thomases are still amongst us, so let's see. Q.—Would not Miss Shorey, the president of the Oakland club be the logical vice-president in the Federation to represent whatever district the Racquette Tennis Club is placed in? And would she not be better able to appoint a tournament committee. (If Frisco is the site of the tournament than someone here etc.) I C Y. M. C. A. NOTES With a total of fifteen candidates running for or and city councilmen, the City Election is well under way, according to the information to be obtained at headquarters, 1400 E. 9th street, where the Ninth Street Branch Y. M. C. A. is conducting its annual campaign for 200 new Making Money 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. William H. Gamble & Co.

Club considered itself fortunate is securing the services of Dr. Millis, as a lecturer on next Friday night at its regular meeting. Dr Millis is a graduate of the University of Paris, and is one speaker whom one never tires of hearing. From time to time the Y. M. C. A. has been instrumental in securing work for young men and boys. In fact, during the last sixteen years of its existence, it has paired 1507 men and boys tree of charge in permanent jobs. There is always a desire on the part of members and friends of this branch for recommendations and assistance in securing positions. The Y. M. C. A. is only too glad to help young men in whatever capacity it can. We not only with interest a part of a letter from P. P. O'Brien.

Harris, and you are informed that he has been assigned to duty as a substitute clerk in this office in the mailing division." ANOTHER MAN'S OPINION Problems-Solutions. Leon Whitaker. Does it require one versed in economics, psychology, philosophy, and finance to explain why Central Avenue, the representative business district of 40,000 people does not come up to the standard set by First and San Pedro, Temple and Centennial, 25th and Central, and the other outlying community business districts? No. it requires but a few years of contact with human nature, a few years of observation, and the realization that the germ of that something that William James calls "the tendency of the physical being toward inertia," but what the common man calls lazziness, is a most prevalent germ. We accept the fact that Central Avenue is the only logical Negro business district. We believe that it should be developed, exploited and patronized, all in a business sense. Those places that stand out in shining brilliance and order are milestones along the road of Negro progress. Their proprietors need and deserve all the approbation and appreciation that a struggling people can give them. In fact, any man who strikes out for himself in a legitimate and self sustaining occupation deserves just that. We need and must have more business of all kinds. Better that Central Avenue be lined with shaks wherein the fluctuating dollar passes thru several pairs of black hands before returning to its source, than it be lined with factories wherein not even a Negro laboring hand is employed than it be lined with wonderful stores built for our trade wherein not even a Negro counter clerk is seen, or that it be lined with store whose managers are patronizing enough to hire Negro clerks whose salaries are nothing compared with the income from Negro labor. But, the point is this, why do not those enterprising proprietors, those enterprising business men to whom we have referred, paint, clean, polish ey some in stocks—some mit to you the un comfortable competence and which bring in a mean sleepless nights you without your care. f and will take care and in a few of my 1000.00 cash. 00 $1000.00 cash. cash. 1000.00 cash. & Co.
