THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE The Wilkin's Music Academy Scores a Big Hit Mr. Frank E. Benedict scored quite a hit when he presented Mr. William T. Wilkins and his pupils, assisted by Mme. Florence Cole Talbert and Mr. Claude V. Pitts, in Recital before his Lodge, the Pasadena B. P. O. E. (Elks) Lodge No. 672, in their beautiful club rooms, 400 Colorado Street, Pasadena, on Thursday evening, February 13th. The audience was composed entirely of men, lal white, including many newspaper men, musicians, and notables, including the Pasadena District Attroney. Our own Florence was in fine voice and held the large and discriminating audience spell-bound with her beautiful voice and superb artistry. Her selections were chosen to exhibit her mastery of bravura, and her thrills and runs were executed with ease and brilliance. She responded to many encores and made a decidedly favorable impression when she sang a new song entitled "Pasadena," by a Negro composer. Mr. Claude V. Pitts, who is shortly to be presented in recital by his teacher, Professor Patrick O'Neal was also in fine form. He possesses a tenor voice of exquisite quality, ranging between lyric and dramatic. He sang "My Dream," by Tosti, and was compelled to respond to an encore. We predict a great future for Mr. Pitts, as he is a young man and unspoiled, a hard worker, with a voice of great natural beauty; and he has the good fortune to be under the guidance of an excellent teacher. Mr. Wilkins himself created a profound impression by a rendition of his original descriptive composition, "The Path of Destiny." So vividly did Mr. Wilkins interpret this "inspiration," as Dr. Ray Hastings called it, with its ever-changing moods and dramatic effects, so realistic was the storm effect, that half the audience, composed of strong and hardened men, rose to their feet and stood until the composition ended with its grand climax. Salvoes of applause, ending in a veritable ovation, followed, and Mr. Wilkins was compelled to respond with an encore. He has been besieged with invitations from both white and colored organizations, to render more programs in Pasadena, and subsequently filled a return engagement, on Washington's Birthday, before the ladies and families of the Pasadena Elks, by request of Mr. Benedict. This program is reviewed elsewhere in this issue. Incidentally, Mr. Wilkins has been engaged to play his "Path of Destiny" at one of Pasadena's leading hotels, within a week or two. Mr. Benedict and the Elks generously entertained Mr. Wilkins, his pupils, together with their parents and friends, at a sumptuous banquet, following the program. The District Attorney expressed the opinion that Mr. Wilkins is too good a pianist to devote his time to teaching, and should travel and play his "Path of Destiny" throughout the country. A number of professors expressed a desire to interview Mr. Wilkins, with a view to learning something of his teaching methods. All of Mr. Wilkins pupils played with consummate artistry and were enthusiastically enced, although Mr. Wilkins was compelled to decline to allow all to respond, owing to the latness of the hour. The following is the program as March Wind (McDowell), Hazel Robinson; Pendente Valse (Lack), Juanita Terry; La Gazelle (Wollenhaupt), Algie Collins; L'Arabesque (Lescheitzky), Fraulie Wilkins; Lark Song (Tschalowsky), Francis Curry; Rustle of Spring (Sinding), Gilbert Allen; Sexette—Polk⁴ for Three Pianos, Twelve Hands; Vocal Solo (Selected), Claude V.

Florence Cole-Talbert; Path of Destiny (Wm. T. Wilkins); Professor Wilkins; Turkish March—three pianos, Twelve Hands; Trot de Cavalier (Rubenstein), three pianos, Twelve Hands. RETIRED ARMY MAN DIES UNEX PECTEDLY Mr. Isaac Sanders, 25th Infantry, Regimental Band Division, who came to Los Angeles recently as a retired soldier, and purchased a beautiful homesite at 4117 Hooper Avenue, was overtaken by illness a few days ago, and had to be removed to the Solders Home at Sawtelle, where he passed away at 10:45 on Tuesday evening, February 27th. He was buried Thursday, March 1st. from Soldiers Home, with all military honors. Mr. Sanders' death came as a sad to Mr. P. H. Dupas, his army comrade t o Mr. P. H. Dupas, his army comrade of many years, who had just renewed his old time friendship with the deceased. PHARAOH TOMB DIGGERS SCORED BY UNDERTAKERS Associated Undertakers of Greater New York have protested against exhumation of Tutenkham. Meeting to consider the activities of Egyptologists, the undertakers decided that the dead should be honored even 3000 years after burial. "The mummies - in our museums have no business beng there," de- clared Frank E. Campbell, head of the organization. "They should be restored to the tombs from which they were removed. NEGRO DOCTOR FINDS CONSUMPTION CURE Great White Plague Is Conquered by Discovery of Dr. D. H. Brown. By George E. Taylor. .(Staff Correspondent Crusader Ser- ...vice. ) JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb 26.—The great white plague that has baffled medical science for centuries has at last proven to be a curable disease by the discovery of Dr. D. H. Brown, a practicing physician of this city and a graduate of Mehara Medical College. For more than ten years, Dr. Brown has prescribed his wonderful discovery with remarkable success. Having kept a record of cases treated, he discloses the fact that over seventy percent have been given relief and that a large number have actually been cured. One case was known to have only one lung and a portion of the other in a sound condition when he began his treatment and after a year's treatment this patient was placed under the X-ray and found to be perfectly clear of any semblance of tubercular germs and what was left of her lungs were completely sound. After this revelation, the doctor placed his remedy on the market under the name "The Magnolia Consumption Remedy." His success has been phenomenal. Recently Dr. Brown placed the sale of his remedy in the hands of the "Magnolia Sales Company," a corporation of mixed race men who propose to market the remedy as a specialty. The name of the remedy has been changed to "Creoca" and will by this sales company be advertised widely throughout the United States and Europe. Undoubtedly, the name of Dr. Brown, discoverer of this wonderful remedy, will soon become a household word and humanity will be his beneficiary. Still, the Negro Race continues to climb the ladder of fame. N.A.A.C.P. vs Garvites By Floyd Calvin, Author of "The Mirrors of Harlem." The fight between the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Universal Negro Improvement Association has reached such a stage that it might not be unwise to impartially review both groups and see what should be preserved and what destroyed in each organization for the best interests of the public at large. The names of both denote progress. One wishes to "advance," the other to "improve." One has for its objective building up the historic Motherland, Africa; the other, equality in America. If both carry out their programs, both will render a distinct service to the Negro race. But for either to forget its primary purpose for existing and devote its entire time to telling the other: "Your program is impossible," is like the pot calling the kettle black. In the first place, neither program will be realized soon. The very foundations of each denotes a continuous struggle in their respective fields. In the second place, if the public finds that the cardinal principles are suddenly forgotten and the controversy drops to the level of personalities, then both sides should be let severely alone. If members of two organizations cannot go about their business carrying out their respective programs—which are basically not programs of destruction—without, being disgraced by personal fights between their respective leaders, then both leaders should be repudiated. Now what about the charges flying to and fro? First, the followers have not anything to do with those charges—because they didn't make them. The followers joined with their respective leaders to carry out what they believed to be a good program. To be sure they have a right and ought to be loyal in a crisis. But they have no right to give their support until their cause denotes a public nuisance rather than a public service. They have no right to be worked into a frenzy until they hate every one who is not of their cult. They have no right to become suspicious of every one who is not as wild and excited as they. It is then that they become victims of personal grievances, rather than followers of constructive leaders. So that, rather than become demoralized and undermining, it is better to dismiss the leaders before the leaders destroy the unity of the people, for the people can always produce new leaders, but the same leaders cannot regain the confidence of their former supporters. Who constitute the respective movements? What are the real differences between the two groups? The N. A. A. C. P. has typical "American" ideas—"advancement," "political equality." The U. N. I. A. has "universal" ideas—"improvement"—"redeeming Africa." Now everybody LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA MARCH 3, 1923 wants to see the Negro "advance"—to political equality if he can. Likewise everybody wants to see the Negro "improve"; if he had a Motherland he would not be any the worse off. The immediate program of the U. N. I. A. is businesses, self-respect, pride of race, race-consciousness and general uplifting. Certainly this would be a blessing to all. The immediate program of the N. A. A. C. P. is civil rights. There is nothing wrong with this. What must be done? Simply "improve" and "advance"—the "leaders" to the contrary notwithstanding. Ed Macon Comes To Town. Way up at the base of Mt. Shasta at the Siskiyou lives one Edward Macon, at the lumber camp of Weed. He is known far and near for his bigness of heart and genuine hospitality. This writer has visited him at his home and we have never been better cared for at any time or place than by this big hearted and whole souled man. Everything which stands for progress he is in on, if it's a church, lodge or any organization which means the uplift, Ed Macon spares neither time nor money tohe lp it on its way. For the first time in his career he struck Los Angeles last week and was lifted off his feet by the things he saw and the entertainment which was his and he did not hesitate to say so. Macon Head of Compact Masons Way back yonder in Kansas in Bill Matthews time we heard of the compact of York Masons; since that time we have not heard much of them but Macon brought the news that there are over three hundred thousand of them in this country and he forcefully stated his case. .... OFFICER PROMOTED In naming the Detective Sergeants who were promoted in our last issue we inadvertently omitted the name of our good friend and supporter, R. F. Green and we are only too glad to chronicle the fact that he too received the merited promotion of Lieutenant with a star just as bright as any other.

SHORTRIDGE FAILED IN DUTY, HIS VIEW The following is a letter received by Mr. Luke last December: UNITED STATES SENATE Committee on the Judicary December 20, 1922. Mr. Lucas C. Luke, 1220 Birch street, Los Angeles, Calif. My dear Friend: I received your recent letter and enclosed newspaper clipping. I appreciate all you tell me concerning your condition and am only sorry that I am not in position to help you. I scarcely need to add that I was greatly distressed over, the temporary defeat of the Dyer Bill. I say temporary defeat because I think this bill or one along the same lines will ultimately be passed. My views are so well known that it is not necessary for me to add that I shall continue to favor such legislation believing as I do that it is constitutional and will help those who need help, who, whether black or white; are entitled to the equal protection of the laws. With best wishes, I remain. Yours sincerely. SAMUEL M. SHORTRIDGE.

ANHASSON BSC. --- RAINBOW MUSICAL THE BYSTANDER Club Recital Last Friday, February 16th at Special Hall on Waverley Drive, a music and literary program was given by the Rainbow Musical Club, composed of a set of young folk of musical talent who made their initial public appearance. The object of this club is announced by their president Mr. Elwood Hunter is to give etter-entertainment among Negroes. A full house greeted them in this attempt to demonstrate to the public what they were trying to do in a musical and literary way. Mrs. Phelps, the wife of our popular young druggist acted as Mistress of Ceremonies who in her introductory remarks gave encouraging words to the young participants, commending them for this initiatory move urging them to continue to perfection. This organization has been under preparation some time, playing at the different churches and fraternal organizations but never before have they had a public recital. The occasion of this entertainment was in memory of Geo. Washington the father of our land and Abraham Lincoln, the Emancipator. The hall was tastily decorated with flags and in either side of the room were the portraits of Lincoln and Washington around which were draped the national colors all of which lent patriotism and enthusiasm to the affair. In the rear of the room was an improvised stage where sat the musicians and speakers who when the time came for the opening broke forth with the strains of "Star Spangled Banner," the audience joining them in singing. The program consisted of the following numbers all of which were most wonderfully enjoyed by the audience. Rosebuds Orchestra The Character of Geo. Washington Elwood Hunter Mr. Vernon Bills Orchestra Vocal Solo Dave Jarves 5th Noctue—Piano Solo Elwood Hunter, Pres. Our Boys Orchestra Call Me Back—Solo Dave James Lincoln's Gettysburg Address Miss Banks who presided at the piano, and her brother, Solomon Banks, are High School students and both are very adept in the handling of the piano and clarinet respectively. We make especial mention of the oration by Adrian Hunter on Life of Abe Lincoln which was a masterpiece well delivered and forcefully enunciated the fine points in the life of that noble man who with one stroke of the pen freed a million slaves and set the world upon a new plan and threw the Negro out to meet the inevitable until now he can sound the praises of a friend whom he shall never forget. Mr. Dave James an embryo on the horizon of singing did remarkably well. Miss Fredrica James, his sister, without a doubt demonstrated her ability as an artist. The saxaphones played by Wm. O. Solomon, Jr. and Shirley Hunter, added appreciative volume to the orchestral music and we expect of them a bright future. After the program all present gave the young folk a hearty hand shake and Good speed and asked them for a return engagement. COLONEL YOUNG MEMORIAL The Lambda Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity in co-operation with the N. A. A. C. P. will observe the Col. Charles Young Memorial Day, March 11, at the A. M. E. Zion Church, corner Pico and Paloma, at 3:00 p. m. A galaxy of songs appropriately arranged for the occasion, the public appearance of celebrities, and declamations by college men, brothers of the late Col. Young, will color the programme with animation and absorbing interest. A complete announcement, including program, will appear in next week's edition of the Eagle. THE MISSING MAN In a calm, suave and scholarly manner Dr. Du Bois, the fearless champion of civil rights, discussed "The Negro In a Wounded World." The speaker was in a happy but serious mood; and his subject, deeply interesting, with a most sympathetic background, had its appeal and scored its mark. Everyone present knew from imagination, narration or self experience that dread and horror of the world war—it was a universal cord. As the speaker skillfully tugged at this string with touches true and certain the commendable audience sat in silent approval which occasionally burst forth. It was a treat. The wealth of study, the result of refinement and culture, long research with first hand information were the returns for those who heard this lecture. MUSICC The writer would feel decidedly impotent and guilty of infidelity if he failed to mention the masterful playing of Mr. Atwell Rose and the sweet, vibrant singing of Miss Leonidas Simmons. The work of these young artists, sparkling, full of tone and color brightened and cheered every one present. It demonstrates that art does not know color; it responds to concentration and labor. FRATERNITIES Welcome to the Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega fraternities. These bind our student life and activities to those of the East. It is stretching hands across the continent. These organizations when properly conducted promote better scholarship, foster higher moral and social ideas. Here young men are schooled for life in conducting the political, financial and social affairs of their fraternity. The writer was a member of a fraternity five years and considers such association of inestimable value. May the young men here take full advantage of this opportunity and through friendly competition and rivalry raise the standard of manhood and usefulness among colored students. POLITICAL POT PIE The Committee sent out by the Forum for the purpose of getting concerted action on a candidate for the City Council and presenting said candidate to the electorate of this city and expecting a strong support for him in return for their continued loyalty to all other groups is in a fair way to bring things to pass. A big mass meeting will be held during the coming week, every man who has any aspirations along that line is asked to submit his case and the candidate receiving a majority vote will be the candidate for the concentrated effort to nominate and elect. Our pie maker got the dough mixed up wrong in this column last week, when he put Mr. C. Weickman in the Congressional race, instead of in the race for the city council, however it was no reflection but rather a compliment. Mr. Weickman will be a strong contender for one of the new members to be elected to the Council in the coming city campaign. Titus Alexander among many other endorsements for the City Council has received the endorsement of the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance. Bert Farmer's boom for Mayor appeared again on the scene of action during the week along with another dark horse, who came forth to do battle against Mayor Cryer. Mrs. C. A. Bass has been appointed as a member of the Tenth Congressional Central Committee. They say that the uplift Association is taking up the political situation and that there is a rattling of dry bones every Sunday afternoon. Mr. Noah D. Thompson has been mentioned as high class councilmanic timber. PAGE Gods and Men. The white man has taught us For centuries old Of a great and infinite God. Who out of the dust of earth did mould Man, with an immortal soul; And when this God of the Sun and the Sea. Beheld the work of His hand. He said to Himself. (For there was no one else) "What manner of man will he be?" He knew all the time That man's finite mind Could never discover the mould; That his earthly eyes Would never devise The shape and size of a soul; And the white man has said To men, black and red. That God is as white as the snow; Still eye hath not seen. Ear hath not heard Whether God is blue, black Red or green He may be as white as the drifting snow As pure as a lily unfurred. But there is one sad mistake. Which all white men make When they say. A white man made this world. Now I am not a prophet. Neither priest nor saint. But somehow I think for myself. And this thought comes just now. That it all men must bow. Let it be without force and constraint God The Indian knew none. Save his great God the sun. Whom he reverenced by night and by day. How the tribesmen fell this and that way. E'en as the pestilence ravaged by night And the tribesmen's blood grew cold. Each uttered a prayer To the God of the air; For they knew not that they had a soul With faces uplifted, hands outstretched. Their suppliant voices did thrill The caves of the winds in the mountains, And each echo was heard Like the trill of a bird. Then suddenly all else grew still All else save the voice of the tribe's great chief Though wrinkled yet stalwart and bold. Who believed in no power but Mani- to's The invisible God of their fold. "Gitche Manito, the mighty, Thou infinite God of the Sun, Send food, send rain and send harvest. Ere the days of the winter are done!" This prayer over the mountain tops echoed. And the tribesmen all danced as they sang. Every warrior, great, bold, the young, and the old. Gitche Manito the Indian God of right The white man had taught him to do: Two lights, though they burn by day and by night. Yet had they proven untrue: Poor Indian Believed all the white God had said. While Indian children were crying for bread. Believed for the author was white not red: So they turned once again to the God of their tribe. Who knew not the Pharisee nor the scribe; The Jew, the Gentile, Mohamed are one. Mohamed loves Allah, the Indian the sun Gitche Manito, the Indian God of The African knows one. Not the great White God Nor the God of the Sun. But Islam, the God of the black man; Who carries neither pistol nor gun; No compromise even with pagans. He speaks to the human heart Demands more than prayer and fasting. Islam wipes every spot off the sun. King Radama of Antananarivo. With the innocence that invests the child The blameless octogenarian. Lost his kingdom by missionary guide. Not until he had made this proviso. And closed it with Kingly seal. Saying "send a few missionaries. Be they skillful in what they do. My people must learn to be workmen. Quite as important as that they kneel! This proviso was loyally adhered to. And many a useful art is found to day on the island. A Bible translated in part. But the edict of queen, Ranavalona. Was more than the King's mild decree. It revoked what Eadarna had granted. And from white domination they're free. The heart of the pale Anglo-Saxon. Craves deference, power and case. And he wants to be King, Lord and Master. At home, abroad, on the seas. Unchecke by the bonds of duty. Unconstrained by established law. His chief sport is race subjugation. The imperishable specimen of war. O Islam, thou God of Ethiopia. In plenitude now of Thy power. Push onward the cause of Ethiopia. While at they shrine, Morimo, we bow Believing that through you our victories are won. This decadent God of the white man, Is the fortress opposing all truth, lies unmitigated, succeeding. --- In face of Naomi and Ruth. O Islam! O Bible! O Koran! Druid's temples and open sky. Make bare thy pages for reading Are the black man proves the lie; Offend not the God of our fathers, Islam was good in the past, If the new civilization unmade you. Backward march for Islam's recast: Twas his mould that shaped you for power, And gave you a status with men, The white God will never adopt you. Though you're washed without, within. Every tribe has it's God supernal, Superstition and fetish abound Hold fast the traditional notion— Again you will wear the crown— Ah! that bulk of unwritten tradition Salutations, songs, fables, proverbs, Richer than the Greek Septuagent Moriope speaks, have you heard? The idea of Islam, however, Is clear in the ancient songs. Though the customs and tribal tradi- tions Grow dimmer and dimmer along With passing generation— Who have strayed from Unkulunkulu Still a few are toiling, impassioned, Just waiting to give you the clue. Written by OuK Em. Los Angeles, California November 30, 1922. Note: Radama—King of the Island of Mad- agascar. Antananarivo is the Capitol of the African Island, Madagascar. Queen Ranawala succeeded Radama Morino as an African Diley. Ukunikukulu is the retrospective process by which the African deduces Cause and Effect. Written by H. Douglass Greer. COUGH DEMANDS TUBERCULOSIS TEST M. B. To paraphrase a well-known saying: a cough stopped in time saves nine. Few mortal men fear one cough, and almost as many do not fear any number of coughs. Nevertheless, if you will fear coughs in the mediacal sense of the biblical admonition to fear God which means to have a wholesome understanding and regard for power interwoven there—you will avoid much evil. When you are admonished to visit a diagnostician or a hospital "for a tuberculosis test" the fear that strikes your heart cold is almost altogether uncalled for. The advice is good and necessary for almost all coughs—other than whooping cough in children—that endure more than two weeks. This holds true as well for summer coughs as for those of January, February and March. As an illustration, let me quote a young man in the twenties who tell ill on a hot day with "slight cold" as he and his friends expressed it. He coughed in various ways—there is no constantly characteristic cough of tuberculosis, bronchitis, harynitis or pneumonia—by day and by night. Wise bushybodies who met him, a merchant, a money king, an editor, and a clerkman, told him by turns that he had a "stomach cough," a nervous cough," a "cigarette cough." Each meant well. But error often kills despite good intentions. Moreover, there are no such things as "stomach," "cigarette," and "pervous" coughs. These are easy-going terms of ignorance, laziness or quackery. This individual suffered from his cough for two or three weeks before he met a physician who did not jump at conclusions. He was neither in capable, ignorant nor lazy. He went to the trouble and took the time thoroughly to search the whole machine called "his patient." By means of the various "adjunction-sions" called instruments of precision, this conscientious doctor after an hour's search found that his patient had the first signs of tuberculosis. The young man, to be sure, for the time was very much frightened. But the doctor had found the real cause of his trouble in time, and he was made well. Most coughs are not tuberculosis. Many of them pass into the limbo of memory within two weeks or so. Only when they persist, when they are accompanied by loss of weight, when you and your friends begin to get on terms of contempt and familiarity with a cough, has the danger progressed to serious proportions. Obviously, it is wise to anticipate this by a thorough search for, and an insurance against just such contingency. To listen to, and to follow the advice of every Tom, Dick and Harry you meet is like relying on a sieve to If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---YOU May Never Know It Happened transfer water to or from a reservoir. Only by going to a competent physician and permitting hmi to make a thorough examination, and then by following his advice can you hope to win the well being you desire.

MEXICAN ANTI-NEGRO PROPAGANDA EXPOSED MEXICO BARS COLORED FOLKS MEXICO CITY, MEXICO, FEB. .....Alarmed at the headway being made by the colored people of the United States in acquiring vast land holdings in Mexico, and the migration of thousands of colored farmers to the Mexican Republic; the white oil interests thru their press agency, the Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service, is sending out propaganda to the daily papers stating that colored colonists are not wanted in Mexico, and that Pres. Obregon objected to the colored people upon the grounds that they were not good prospective colonists on account of "the ethnic problem." The opposition of the oil interests is chiefly against permitting the colored people to colonize in the Tampico and San Luis Potosí districts, which are in the heart of the Mexican oil belt. NEGRO COLONISTS HELD AS UNDESIRABLE On January 25 a colony of Oklahoma colored people started for San Luis Potosi, in the heart of tropical Mexico. Other colonies have gone to the Santa Clara Valley district on the west coast of Mexico about 200 miles below Los Angeles, Calif. In this district the Lower California & Development Co. of Los Angeles, a Negro Corporation, owns and controls a vast estate of over 5,000 acres of valuable farming, mining and oil lands. Mexico City, Feb. 7.—Colored colonists are not wanted in Mexico is the notice which the department of the interior has sent to all customs houses on the border, ordering the strictest vigilance to prevent colored persons from entering Mexico. In spite of the opposition of the oil interests, this movement to open up the fertile valleys of Lower California to the colored people, has the hearty support of not only Pres. Obregon but of the Mexican Government as a whole, the Chamber of Commerce of San Diego and Los Angeles, California, and other influential interests. Several months ago. President Obregon said that he was no respecter of country or race on the question of immigration, provided that the people were moral and likely to become good citizens. In the same interview he asserted that colored people were not good prospective colonists on account of the ethnic problem. PRES. OBREGON MEETS NEGRO DELEGATION In July 1922 Pres. Obregon met a delegation of 22 colored citizens of the United States headed by Atty. Hugh Macheth of Los Angeles, and Mr. J. B. Key of Okunulgee, Okla, and stated in person to the m. "That Mexico has no color line and the Mexican Constitution forbids Race distinction on the ground of race, color, creed or degree of wealth." At Ensenada, Mexico, the delegation was welcomed by the Mayor who said "Mexico offers the greatest opportunity and future to any people on the face of the earth. We are inviting the American Negro to come and cast his lot with us, nbt because we know that he is mistreated, and unjustly dealt with in his own land, but because we believe that in the development of commerce, agriculture, and trade in our own country, he will be fair enough to take some and leave some and not try to take all as some Americans have done in the past." Mexico already has the problem of assimilating vast bodies of native Indians, and the president felt that it would not be wise to increase the complexity of the question. Talk for weeks past of extensive colored immigration to Mexico set the executive wheels in motion to prevent American colored people from turning their faces toward Mexico. Pres. Obregon received the colored delegation cordially at the "Mexican White House" and promised his support and that of that of the Government to any legitimate colonization movement that would bring a desirable element of American Negroes into Mexico. He was especially interested in the colonization plans outlined by the Lower California Land & Development Co. in building up the fertile valleys of the district adjacent to the great Mexican, Pacific seaport, Ensenada, 60 miles by auto from San Diego, California. The above Propaganda was re- cently published in leading dailies.

BAY DISTRICT BRIEFS By Mrs. E. J. Layne. Santa Monica is being populated with some of the best families of California. So much so that they can't find houses to live in. Most every day we meet some one looking for a house and their cry is, "We like Santa Monica and want to live here if we could only find a house." So it behooves the property owners to get busy and build more homes. Among the Churches Calvary Baptist is taking new activity and their Slogan is "Out of debt and over the Top, by the third Sunday in March." The Masonic Temple has opened wide her doors and the A. M. E. Church will hold their services there until they build. Rev. Simpson is the pastor. The First Baptist of Venice is having house to house prayer service each Wednesday afternoon and is doing much good. Mr. and Mrs. Will Dudley are all smiles over the little stranger that recently came into their home. A little Miss Dudley. We are indeed very, very proud to note that two of our Bay District girls won the first and second prizes of the Piano contest on last Tuesday evening, February 13th. Miss McGill, the winner of the 1st prize from age up to 12 years and Miss Bernice Stout, the winner of the second prize from 12 years to 18 years. We hope some day to see them among the foremost artists of the world. Mr. Arthur Burks, Alden Prudome, Verne Brunson and Elmer Layne entered the Santa Monica High School Monday, February 12th. The Philo matheian L. A. S. Club met at the residence of Mrs. R. Linkey Friday, Feb. 16th. A short business meeting was carried on and the program planned for the ensuing year. The funeral services of Miss Willie Mac Gordon was held from Todd's funeral parlors, February 20th. Rev. Jones of the Calvary Baptist and Rev. Parham of Phillips Chapel officiating.

At three p.m. the Women's Mite Missionary Society had a great meeting. Representatives from the First A. M. E. Church of Pasadena and the Second Baptist Church, and Zion A. M. E. Church of Monrovia were present. Several interesting addresses were given on home and foreign missionray work. We failed to mention Mrs. Blanche Hurst who delighted our congregation with a beautiful solo on last Sunday morning. WATTS NEWS Miss Grace Owens, of Watts, was recently united in marriage to Mr. Hooker. The young couple have taken up their abode in a pretty home on Manhattan Street. A host of friends wish them happiness. Rev. Patrick brought his revival to a highly successful close last Sunday night. Many souls were brought to Christ through his zeal and eloquence. Mrs. Sid Garner, of Thaxter Street, is confined to her bed with a seveo cold. Mrs. Smith, of Thaxter Street, whose recent illness was so severe that she had to be removed to the hospital is now improving rapidly. The recently given sacred concert at the A. M. E. Church was an artistic treat. The members of Rev. Fleming's church gave a most enjoyable social on Friday evening, February 23rd. Mr. Laving has sold his home on Ruby Street; at the same time, Mr. Sanders has purchased property on Astor Street. The Country Club Needle Workers had a pleasant meeting on Friday, February 23rd, at the home of Mrs. Lane on Manhattan Street. Mrs. Perkins, of Fountain Avenue, has sold her acre at Compton.

Gladden, Jr. Anelo and her guides arrived at Leopard's Lair and found to their great pleasure that they had beaten the excavation party. They approached the chief guard of the entrapped beasts, questioning him in regard to Jamba's plans. The guard looked surprised. "I thought that Mantuba was leading the procession." "Mantuba is ill. Jamba persuaded him to let him direct the expedition. "I know nothing of this. The chief notified me only a few days ago of the party that would enter the buried city of our fathers." "Are you certain that none of the other guards have been informed to release some of the animals as the men go by in order to instill fear into them and thus prevent the successful excavation?" "Yes. I have taken every precaution against any of the party taking the wrong trail which may lead to their death." Anelo stated that this warning had been given by Jambro, who lay ill at her home. The guard assured her that there was no need of alarm. Leaving one of the guards at the big gate, Anelo followed the head guard, inspecting the dens where many animals typical to that and other sections of Africa, were to be seen resting lazily; or pacing restlessly the soft grass covered floor of their man-made abodes. Tigers, boopards, lions and lionesses, panthers, monkeys and gorillas all moved coercelessly, yawning, lounging, nibbling, playing, yet, robbed of the freedom of that primitive land where they were wont to room almost unimagined. Occasionally there was a long bond roaring of one of the masters of the forest, the lion. Elephants wobbled a few paces, only to turn slowly at repeat their coarse. A leopard stopped in its own circular journeys, and started carefully at the woman who watched beside the guzzler guard. The piercing gaze seemed to go through her and thrill her. "Why do you keep the curious things here?" he said, in earnest grunt. "It is Manubha well. There is secret trail just beyond this place which leads to the buried city. No foreign people shall ever enter without his permission. We have only to open the huge doors yonder and all intruders will be destroyed." Thus the guard told briefly the reason of the awaiting, lingering, certain death of Leopard's Lair and the reference which the powerful chief held for the ancient city. "Do you not remember me, daughter? I am Bakwa. I was taken from the home of your father, the missionary, years ago when you were quite small." "Yes," Anelo said. "I do remember you. Father wrote me while I was abroad that you were sent to America to be educated. Why did you not go?" "Mantuba would not let me. He liked me very much and entrusted big things to me." They were returning to the entrance. "May we depend on you to help us in the event of trouble?" The man looked at Anbo, smiling his assurance. A native rushed up to Bakeva sweating, and said, "I'm in short breaths, the message of Jamba." "But it is the father's wish that the plan be carried out," replied the courier, still panting. Bakeva stood perplexed. TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK STARTS NEW PLAY By the Reporter "The Temple of Flame" is the name of the new play that the members of the Young People's Lyceum have been gun rehearsing.

Sunday School Superintendents are urged to aid in the league. HOWARD'S CAMPAIGN HOWARD STARTS INTENSIVE CAMPAIGN FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL ENDOWMENT. Howard University has entered upon the most intensive part of its campa- ign to obtain $250,000.00 that it may claim the conditional gift of a like- son offered by the General Education Board, founded by John D. Rocke- Seller. This Board has agreed to give the School of Medicine of The Howard University, as an endowment, the sum of $250,000.00 provided an equal amount for a like purpose is ob- tained by July 1st of this year. In making this offer the General Education Board was influenced by the fact that the School of Medicine is in danger of losing its standing as Class A School. The American Medical Association now requires that all Schools of Medicine of Class A standing have an independent income of at least $25,000,000 over and above tools to provide for research, experimental purposes etc. To meet this signification it is necessary that there be an endowment of not less than $500,000,000. After a most rigid examination of the work being done by, and of the great need for, the School of Medicine of The Howard University, the General Education Board decided to assist in the endowment of the school by offering a conditional gift. Such skill as is given by the Government cannot be applied to meet this currentity. It is given yearly, after great discussion, is not obligatory upon the part of the government, and its use is specified. That which can be applied to running expenses of the school of Medicine covers only about one-third of the amount needed. OR 1 Stanley Durene, President of 11 Owatonna University said, in connection with this phase of the offer: "Should the School of Medicine of the University lose its Class A standing it will have a more serious effect than many at first realize. Many States now require graduation from a Class A Medical School before permission is granted applicants for licenses to practice to even take the State Board examinations. What this means to 12,000,000 people in this country can easily be seen when we stop to think that the too few medical men now practicing will have a decreasing instead of increasing number of men to take their places when their work is over, the ministering to the needs of a constantly increasing population. This applies to Dentists, druggists, and Trained Nurses as well as Physicians. All four classes are cared for under the direction of the School of Medicine of Howard. All ready we have been forced to limit the number of entering students in each Department to fifty. This action was more than unpleasant. It meant the turning away of over 200 men eager to fit themselves for service. But it was a physical impossibility to take care of them and properly train them all." The opening gun in the intensive campaign of the School of Medicine of Howard University was fired Wednesday evening, February 9 at a meeting in the New Dining Hall of the University. About forty of the most prominent Physicians of the city and their wives attended and laid the plans of solicitation in the City of Washington. Dr. William C. McNeill of 1123 T St., N. W., the chairman of Washington campus campaign The campaign itself opened officially Friday evening February 9th when the same group met for final instructions, supplies, etc. They met with about 130 students now in the School of Medicine, who have volunteered to assist them in the solicitation of the various districts of the city. Thus for almost a week there will be a total of 200 men and women who will seek the assistance of the people of Washington in an effort to save the standing of the School of Medicine of the University. The campaign will close officially on Thursday, February 15th. About $65,000.00 has already been secured in cash and pledges from the Trustees, Faculty, Administrative body, Students, and a number of Alumni and friends of the University. This leaves $185,000.00 to be raised by July 1st. next. It is planned to put on campaigns in whatever cities time will permit before appealing to the wealthy men and philanthropists of the United States for the balance. This will be done through a nucleus of graduates of the School of Medicine in the various cities, who will rally to their support all friends of The Howard University and higher education in general. Experts in campaign work are agreed that experience has proven that the wealthy and philanthropically inclined will extend their help much more readily when those who are to receive the benefit of their gifts show a hearty measure of co-operation by themselves contributing according to their financial ability. So pronounced has this tendency become, that practically all large scale giving is now being conducted on this basis, as witnesses by the Harkness gift of $10.

By Lea Wiener, Published by Messrs. Innes and Company, Philadelphia, Pa. Price $50.00 Postpaid. This is the second part of a work to be completed in three volumes its thesis is a new one; that Negroes from Africa visited America before Columbus and left their mark here. This second volume concerns itself with evidences in America of African civilization as seen in the introduction of cotton, tobacco and shell money. I wish that I might be able clearly to present Prof. Wiener's argument, but this is impossible because this very learned scholar cannot present it clearly himself. His book is for experts who can disentangle salient facts from a mass of evidence, a mass that shows a learning 'prodigious' in its scope. Loo Wiener is professor of Slavic languages at Harvard University; and in his first volume, he related his discovery of African influence in America. While working on a comparative grammar of American languages, he came upon a number of words that study told him were corruptions of adaptations of words used by the Negroes in Africa especially by the Mandingoes. In this second volume he tells especially of material signs of African influence. There can be little doubt that in some things African influence was exerted before Columbus. Probably the Mandingoes first reached America in the middle of the fifteenth century, with the Portuguese explorers. The Mandingoes were a study tribe, and if we look on the map we can see that the trip from West-in Africa to Northern South America was not an impossible outfit, though it must have required immense courage to take it in a canoe. I remember seeing in Norway the open boat like a large dory, in which the Norseman is reputed to have made his early discovery of North America. At least the African came over milder waters. That they did come Professor Wiener does not doubt. He shows us, among other things, two pictures, one of an African, another of an Indian, stockade. There is indeed an extraordinary similarity between the two. One is reminded of the interesting chapters in Brawley's "Social History of the Negro" concerning the close Association of Negro and Indian in this country. Wiener has a great deal to say about tobacco, relating the story of nicotine from very ancient days to the sixteenth century. It was brought by the Arabs to the Negroes and they in turn brought it to the Indians, "possibly a century before America's so-called discovery." At first tobacco was used only by the priests in their rites. In the wampum with which the Indians first traded with the Americans, we again see an African origin. And lest the African become too puffed up with pride at this precedence, he would note that Prof. Wiener finds that he got his civilization from the Arabs, those marmallous folk who have been consistently maligned by the Christians through the centuries to today. I have spoken of the learning evinced in this book. I counted in the word index references to 12 European and 9 Asiatic languages, to 13 American and 33 African dialects, and then stopped, not through, only tired. One of my friends who is a historian tells me, that it is dangerous to base historical research on seeming similarity of language and that Wiener is looked upon as somewhat hasty in so doing. He answers this criticism in his preface where he speaks of archaeologists who "insist upon denying all but the archaeological evidence and showers upon an objective investigator a veritable deluge of abuse." We are sympathetic with the "objective investigator" and trust the Mandingoes did bring good things to this continent, when they came here of their own free will. When the evidence is more complete it will be an interesting story for colored children, that of these brave black sailors who dared to cross the Atlantic and who carried thither cotton and tobacco that their descendants, later unwillingly dragged here, were to plow and reap. DELAYED NEWS BOXING SON GOODRICH BEATS SAILOR LEE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. MACK HOUSE WINS OVER BATTLING JONES. BOY WONDER THERE ALSO WITH WIN. Fight fans witnessed one of the best cards of the season at the Madison Square Garden on last Wednesday night, when some of the best top notchers met to test their strength and skill in the main act of juggling. From the sounding of the first gong to the end of the main event, followers of the game never lost interest, as each bout offered thrills and surprises. Son Godorich, the 'Texas Hurri cannot beat Sailor. Lose in the main VAUDEVILLE ACT WORTH WHILE event. Goodrich punished the sailor. cannot beat Sailor Lee in the main event. Goodrich punished the sailor seventy-five in the clinches and was good him considerably. The sailor was calm, however, and got in a few good ones. Son was very delibrate during the last two rounds. Son is in fighting began to tell on Lee, and it looked as if he would go down any second. His body was not from the terrible punches, yet he held on. And the fourth round has a few second-longer. Son probably would have dealt the K. O. punch. Lee can be considered for his good sportsmanship during the one inter when Goodrich accurately flipped and C. O. In the same shirtp, Mack Honor won the decision over Belling Jon. This was a hard-hitting anach. Mack landed on Jones' chin, but failed to make him take the count. Jones drew blood from Mack with a stuff jab to the nose, and later struck him on his injured eye. Mack got going strong again, flooring his opponent, but the "Fighting Irishman" came back for more, and got it. Mack misjudged several good ones when the bout ended both men were battling, but Mack was the more aggressive. Frank Constantin got a draw with Young Sam Langford. The Scottish boy packed a heavy right, but could not use it effectively, because of Sam's cleverness. Sam displayed clever footwork and was hard to hit. Ceygine Williams put the K, O, punch on Black Mask. Although the Mask showed sterling fighting qualities, it was only a question of time before the oldtimer was settle things Boy Wonder came back to the ring greeted with cheers. Wop Flynn was his opponent. Flynn was harder and heavier than Wonder, but he had his hands full when he met the Boy. It was a great exhibition of boxing. Wonder's tooth was loosened again in the fighting, but he was never in dancer. In fact, he forced the fighting almost throughout. He showed clever foot-work and generalship. At the end of the third Flynn began to slow, and could not even touch his opponent. Boy Wonder seemed unbeatable, and gave Wop a good lashing. The decision which Wonder got was well earned and popular. The curtain raiser by Red Perrison and Eddie Melody was a fast affair at first, but Melody's jabs told on Red. Melody was too fast for him. He punched almost at will. Red had a very hard right, although it did not bring him very good results. Ted Frenchie did the referee act Blackie Rice and Baby Gans were among those at the ringside. SAM LANGFORD RETURNING AS WRESTLER Sam Langford, the original, famous toight fans throughout the land, has turned wrestler and will display his wares before Los Angeles grappling fans Wednesday night, March 7, when he meets Roman, the powerful, in the Lyceum Club, 231 South Spring St. This is "Tham" first public appearance as a grappler. He has been faithfully training and advance reports state that he is in fine shape. It will be a strange sight to see Langford rolling on the canvas. There are only a few fighters who have ever made "Tham" kiss the canvas. As a fighter there are few who ever equalled him as a master of ringcraft. He has stamina and strength. The fans can look forward to a few laughs in the course of the match. Langford has never ceased to see the humerous side of anything, and he probably brings out many a laugh while wrestling. Sam's advent as a wrestler must be afflicted before he can be taken seriously. Many believe that Sam can do a comeback to popular favor on the mat. On the same night Jack Ross, the Brooklyn whirlwind and Sammy Sadow will meet Jack (Tiger) Mason. Making Money 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.

A few issues back we published an article headed, "What's the Matter with Central Avenue?" By a marshalling of facts and a review of accomplishment, the answer was apparent—Central Avenue is all right! This particular street is one of the thoroughfares of a great metropolitan city. The crowds, including all classes of people, flock to this street from all sections of this great state. In their natural wake, comes the same amount of vice which will seep into even the City of Zion, presided over by Overseer Dowie. The only reason that more crime is committed on this thoroughfare than any other (if such is the case) is that there are more people who pass and live on the same. For instance, on Spring and Broadway, Main Street and Hollywood Boulevard, crimes by the score are committed daily—but who would be so ignorant and malicious as t oseek to malign a thoroughfare simply because some crimes are committed under these circumstances? Police botters show there is less crime in proportion among our particular group than any other. Our people are, as a rule, law-abiding, and crime is only committed by the vicious element that sifts into the community, as was said before, from all parts of the city. This is to be deplored, of course, and we advise these who have been maligning Central Avenue to keep their own vice (if they have any) away from Central Avenue and thereby help to make it a better street. We were down on the border line of Mexico this week and in spite of the propaganda of the Chicago Tribune, we saw Negro colonists being welcomed across the border as prospective citizens of Mexico. PENCIL PUSHERS WILL GET TOGETHER. Responses to our suggestion to organize a Pacific Coast Press Association have been very flattering indeed. Fully ninety percent of the Race papers published on the Pacific Coast have answered favorably. Accordingly, a call will be issued for the publishers and all correspondents of Race papers on the Pacific Coast to gather in Oakland, California, this month, for the purpose of launching such an organization. When the press really gets together, along with a united ministry, great things for progress will begin to happen on these Western shores. THE COLOR LINE. Over in Europe the propaganda goes forth, according to the white press, that dark days are at hand, now that France is sending her Colored troops into the Ruhr. We opine, however, that despite the inference and effort to establish race prejudice more firmly in Europe, before the thing is over, black troops will be welcomed in the end.
