The advent of a 10-cent fare would be but the opening wedge to an increased street car fare, for if a motor bus company with two million dollars invested could demand a 10-cent fare, why couldn't the street car company with one hundred and ten millions invested ask for a raise and get it? There is absolutely no occasion for the streets of this city to become further congested by the presence of this antiquated means of transportation. They tell us that this mode of transportation is very popular and an unqualified success; as a matter of fact this statement is eroneous as well as misleading. he Motor Buss n New York City functions pretty much as the sight-seeing cars n Los Angeles function, they operate on streets where there are no street cars, as sight-seeing cars on the boulevards, up the Hudson River and other historic points and places of interest. They figure in no way as a relief to congested traffic. Let us grant that our present street car situation fails to handle the ever-gaining traffic as it should. Is it not equally true that the Street Railway Company has bound itself to bring to us a greater relief than the Motor Bus can possibly do, by extending its lines and laying down new ones also of furnishing bus transportation with transfers to all parts of the city? In other words the Street Car Company has submitted and bound itself to a program of improvement which calls for an immediate expenditure for improvement of six million dollars; mind you this is for improving what they already have and the installaton of the motor bus itself calls for only a two million dollar outlay. We all remember the deplorable traffic conditions when we had the Jitney bus, likewise how the people fought and sacrificed to enact into legislation the Anti-Jitney Bus Law, and now at one fell swoop the New York capitalists are asking that we repeal that law. Will you do t? We hardly think so. remember the deplorable traffic co 汁ney bus, likewise how the people enact into legislation the Anti-Jitney bill swoop the New York capitalists a at law. ..Will you do t? ..We hardly Stand By The Home Folk all is said and done, we must re regeles and Pacific Electric Railways the wonderful city; with their 10550 races, of our citizenship, with an 00.00 and ...is tells the story of rea an appreciating public to the extent Then after all is said and done, we must realize that the great Los Angeles and Pacific Electric Railways mean to the progress of the wonderful city; with their 10550 employees of all classes, all races, of our citizenship, with an annual pay roll of $16,000,000.00 and this tells the story of real progress and devotion of an appreciating public to the extent that a solid phalanx of the great masses of average men and women are lining up to defeat Amendments 5 and 6, which will appear on the ballot at the Primary Election, May 1st.

One of the pleasantest trips it has ever been my good fortune to make—pleasure or business—was on last Thursday afternoon when I set out with a party, numbering five, to visit the Verdun Mines, located in Toulumne County, with an elevation of about 12000 feet, and just 25 miles from the Yosemite Park. The party consisted of Mr. A. G. Mahan, General Manager of the Verdun Mining Co.; Mr. J. B. Simms, Sales Manager for the same company; Mr. A. H. Dearing; Mr. W. M. Cole and myself. We left Los Angeles at 3:30 o'clock, taking the road through San Fernando, over the Ridge and along the highway to the mining camp. We had much trouble along the road, the first taking place about 63 miles from home in the Ridge when the generator of the car became unhooked from the shaft and burnt the 6. Fares—The railways charge 5c and 6c within one zone, 8c and 10c through fare between zones, with liberal transfer privileges. Experience in other cities with street car service is badly deteriorated or, as in Des Molnes, ceases thru lack of living revenue, to be remedied, of competition continues, only by increases in street car fares. 7. Free and Reduced Rate Transportation—Policemen, firemen and postmen carried free, saving them $104, 220.00 annually. School children carried at half rate, an annual saving to the parents of $203,580.00. 8. Territory Developed—Years of time and millions of dollars put into carline extensions ahead of traffic development—new territory made available and outlying homebuilders served. 9. Relief of Traffic Congestion—Part of elevated railway already built to the East at cost of $850,000.00, to speed up traffic North, South and East. Right of way for $3,500,000.00 Hollywood-Glendale-San Fernando Valley tunnel purchased, and now ready to begin work. Greatest traffic relief yet offered. 10. New Equipment—Fifty new cars, costing $850,000, recently put in service on Pacific Electric's Hollywood Line for handling traffic in advance of building tunnel. Fifty new cars, costing $725,000, recently put in service on Los Angeles Railway. Orders have been placed for 50 more new cars for Pacific Electric and 100 more no wear for Los Angeles Railway. Total cost of new equipment purchased and ordered reaches $4,887,000.00. CAPTAIN FREDERICKS FOR CONGRESS Standing for the real progress of the great and mighty Tenth Congressional District of the sovereign state of California and recognizing real worth, merit and super-qualifications, all the people join in with the mighty hosts which are moving onward in triumphant battle array for the election of that stalwart Republican and high class business man, Captain John D. Fredericks, to succeed the late and esteemed Captain H. Z. Osborne. Captain Fredericks stands pre-eminent as a man who can and will serve the people. His environment in business but reinforces his legal attainments and fits him to go forth magnificently equipped to render a service from this district, as it has never been its lot before. Momentous propositions will come up before this great body which will affect, in all probability, the future growth of this great city and Captain Fredericks' ability, his intimate knowledge of the vast resources, and in complete touch with the program of progress outlined by those who stand for a greater Los Angeles, makes him a commanding figure and the ideal man to bring these things to pass. Captain Fredericks' close-up stands with the boosters for Los Angeles and his ever-aggressive attitude to procure for this section all of the things which would make it prosper and grow also makes it certain that he 6. Fares—A 10c minimum fare. No service to majority of districts means an additional street car fare. 7. Free and Reduced Rate Transportation—Policemen and firemen not carried free, excepting two to a bus. Postmen charged regular rates. School children charged full rate— 10c. 8. Territory Developed—Not a foot of undeveloped territory served. Wants only the cream of traffic al- ready developed by the railways. 9. Relief of Traffic Congestion—Bus Company would not build anything over which to operate, or relieve any congestion. Nothing offered for present or future relief—but propose to put 125 cumbersome tow-story buses on the streets to further congest traffic. 10. New Equipment—The total of the investment promised by the People's Motorbus Company is $2,000,000,000. $2.00 THE YEAR NO. 3 MED O CITY CAPT. J. D. FREDERICKS will ever be on guard at the Nation's Capitol at all times for the real progress and prosperity of this district. He stands for all the people all of the time and if Los Angeles moves up, all who live in Los Angeles will be on the moving. For this reason as well as many others, the people are giving a hearty support to the candidacy of Captain Fredericks. His republicanism is unquestioned, it is not of the milk and water variety, but has been tried and true. A few more Republicans of the Captain Fredericks type, will strengthen our Republican Congress to the point where it will really accomplish great things for the principles which the Republican party stands for, and will not be at any time subservient to the whims of a Democratic minority; and with a strong pull all together, let's put Captain Fredericks over the top for Congress, on May 1st. CHANDLER, OWEN COMING TO CITY Chandler Owen, the brilliant editor of the Messenger, who, on his visit here a year ago, set all Los Angeles agog over the tremendously interesting and illuminatry addresses which he delivered, is on his way, and we are in for another rare treat, for he comes reinforced by the momentous happenings during the past year and will give to the people his latest and newest address; subject—"A new Solution to the Negro Problem." He will arrive here on the 28th, and after resting up for one week, will speak at the Labor Temple, large auditorium, on the above subject. He comes under the auspices of the East Side Mothers' Club, and there is no question but that the auditorium will be filled to its fullest capacity to hear him. Reports from the East at all cities where he has spoken on route here are to the effect that great crowds have turned out to hear him and are beseiging him for return engagements.

MAKING OF MANKIND Mankind can only be made by all men, the world by all its powers together. Often enough they war among themselves, but even as they try to destroy each other, nature holds them together and brings them forth again. From the first animal impulse towards construction, up to the highest exercise of intellectual art. From the laughter and shouts of childhood up to the glorious utterance of the orator and the singer; from the first scuffles of boyhood up to the huge armaments by which nations are lost and won; from the faintliness and the most transitory affection up to the most burning passion and the deepest bond; from the most mysterious present up to the most mysterious presentiments and hopes for the furthest spiritual future: all this and far more lies in man, and must be brought out and unfolded, not only in one man but in many. Every capacity is important, and all must be developed. One individual can only work for the beautiful, another only for the useful; but both are needed to make a man. MOTOR BUS-JITNEY BUS SYNONQOUS That the Motor Bus and Jitney Bus are synonomous there is no question, and if you want the Jitney bus back again, all you have to do is to vote for the motor bus. As this campaign proceeds the people are getting their eyes open to the issue and they will not for one moment be dazzled by the protestation of interest in their welfare by the capitalists of New York and their agents who are essaying to put this thing over. In other words they realize what our own great car systems have done to make Los Angeles great and will praise the bridge which has carried them thus far, and without a quiver of the eye, will vote No—on proposition 5 and 6. EDUCATIONAL FIELD Until the negro learns to do something for himself in the field of education he will never be able to consider himself a real man. If he is not going to become an educational factor among his own people, then education is not the leverage to lift him, in the sense that it has lifted other people. A man is educated when he can do without a teacher and when he can—and will develop and grow without the stimulus of instruction. So it must be with a race. ALEXANDER FOR THE COUNCIL This paper without any reservation whatever stands fairly and squarely for the election of Titus Alexander. We appreciate the effort of the people to get together and for that reason reinforced by the competency of the candidate we are rendering unto him our most hearty support. HELPING QURSELVES We complain because white newspapers publish our crimes and tell of the evils we do, but do not say anything of our achievements in those lines that tend to stamp us as a people of the world. We must learn to tell the story of ourselves. It is our duty to develop a press. LOOK THE PART There is great power in appearance. You are usually judged by the way you look and you usually cloak the way you feel. But you can feel the way you like and you can live in any mental attitude you like. Therefore discard If You Fail To Read----THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE----You May Never Know It Happened all attitudes of inferiority. Never appear as if you were inferior. He who habitually thinks of himself as common, becomes common. To look your best is not expensive. And to look your best you must think your best. RACIAL PRIDE There must be a sense of racial pride aroused in us before we may hope to overcome. How this may be accomplished is a problem now puzzling our brain. Back the men who are doing things for the race is the word. A Negro newspaper is better than a mess of scandal. Let us appreciate the least thing accomplished by a Black man and treasure it in our hearts as the gift of God to our race and an exhibition of the tangible assets which make us feel proud that we are Negroes. DRIFTING WHERE DRIFTING WHERE The world has fallen into a moral slump. There has been a universal recrudescence of sin, particular in America, and that physical force, rather than the moral law has been given supremacy. Ideals have undergone amazing changes and conceptions of primary principles have been distorted; truth has been perverted, christian virtues have lost their divine luster and the sense of sin has been dulled. There is a growing vulgarity and recklessness in dress and behavior and an increasing disregard for the sanctity of the home. The world is groaning under industrial coercion, oppression, antagonism, race riots, ignorance and illiteracy. The world wants to be rid of poverty, ignorance, lust, greed, violence, ill-will, social injustice, and the working burden of hatred and war. What help is there for this broken world? Naturally we look to the church, but we find it full of imposing ceremonies, thundering moralities, rigid decencies, the clatter of rules, platitudes, venerable traditions, infinite cog wheels of organizations—everything except the spirit of the Gallilian peasant who came to plant in the garden of the world the seed of the love of the Almighty. The family altar is Heavens threshold. Immortality grows out of servitude and previous conditions. Earth possesses no finer attainment than womanhood. A faithful, intelligent, virtuous motherhood will elevate any race. Man is what he thinks. Race prejudice represents the lowest in mankind. Real culture, real character (black or white) knows no prejudice. Nothing is easier than fault-finding, no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character are required to everlastingly find fault with some one. The greatest pain of hell is the uncertainty of the judgment. Christ had no where to rest on earth save in the sepulchre. His enemies only ceased to persecute Him there. THE BYSTANDER THE MAYOR L.K. BREKK Sunday morning the Pioneers in the number hold their annual ser- vices at Wesley Chapel. It was an appropriate and impressive occasion. We are proud of the fact that we have such a group as the pioneers. They cleared the forest, felled trees and acted as a vanguard for our present existence. Another fact however., is significant and affords us cheer. We are more elated because growing with time and lide, there is a young set, fresh from school, full of fire and vim, not dwarfed by slavery, who are more disposed to venture, unite, speculate and take a chance. It is expected of them not to testify in years to come as the dwellers of old that we had a chance to buy a piece of property years ago which is today worth thousands of dollars. Rather the hope is entertained that in less than twenty-five years Central Avenue will be changed from a business center of barber shops and restaurants only, into a wider diversion of substantial ventures. The pioneers, handicapped and restrained, wrought well. The New Negro must build a suitable memorial on the foundation they laid. A source of encouragement follows from the fact that the Great Bethel Church of Chicago has injected some business phases in the working of the church. Our people naturally go to, and believe in Church and pastor as they do no other establishment whether it be a success or a failure. One local pastor has advanced the idea, and it would be a most interesting experiment, if some successful minister, and his faithful board of trustees would organize and promote for their group, or our group, a business enterprise. We do not intend to make the church a commercial institution, yet, advantage would like to be taken of the fact that our people have explicit confidence in church association and will contribute money in its coffers when they will refuse to purchase adequate food and clothing. We are commercially sinking and consequently grabbing at every straw for relief. HEAR 250 VOICES IN CONCERT-DE LUXE PHILHARMONIC AUDI TORIUM BY FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH CHOIRS.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT TAMALES & CHILI A SPECIALTY 1159 E. 10th St., Los Angeles. MRS. SARAH LAMAR, PROP. (Formerly Mr. James) THE BEST MEALS IN TOWN TAMALES & CHILI A SPECIALTY Continued on Page 1. 11. Bus Service—Railway companies offer to establish bus feeder lines to rail lines so that all sections of the city will be adequately served, issuing transfers between street car lines and bus lines. 12. Paralleling Bus Service—The Los Angeles Railway, if the City so desires, will install bus lines paralleling its rail lines on streets selected by the City, on permits issued by the Board of Public Utilities, to determine if such a service is desirable and will not add unreasonably to the present traffic congestion. These permits may be cancelled by the city, and the service discontinued, at any time. 13. Bus Prohibited in Congested District—In 1817 the City of Los Angeles, by vote of the people, prohibited the operation of jitneys on its streets on account of added congestion and unwarranted paralleling of street railways. 14. Extension of Lines Into Hollywood and Universal Transfers—The City of Los Angeles, the State Railroad Commission, and the two electric railways are now making a survey to determine how the two street railways in the city of Los Angeles can be operated as one system. Extensions of lines and universal transfers are both economic questions and can only be determined in an orderly way as is now being done. hThe street railways of Los Angeles are ready and prepared to care for the transportation needs of Los Angeles. They have invested or have authorized investments for this purpose, expenditures made or underway, of $9,200,000.00 within the last year alone, for subways, equipment and extensions. Applications have been before the Board of Public Utilities since January 10th, 1922, in effort to get city authority to provide needed motor bus service auxiliary to car lines. In view of the fact that the two street railways have aided very much in the up-building of Los Angeles, we respectfully urge our patrons and the people of this City, to do all in their power to enable us to continue to serve the City and to better the service in the future. Tho that end we ask that you—— Vote NO on proposition No. 5, requesting the sale of twenty-one year franchise, paralleling the heavy traveled street care lines in this City. Vote NO on proposition No. 6, to amend the litney bus ordinance. Reasonably submitted. PACIFIC, ELECTRIC HAILWAY CO., LOS ANGELES RAILWAY CO. By: D. W. Pontus. By: Geo. J. Kuhrt. Vice-President and General Manager. General Manager. We would call to the attention of our members and friends a few of the casts of justice shown our group by Hon. Geo. E. Cryer, Mayor of Los Angeles. It is our opinion that he has entertained a very friendly feeling towards our people. He has, of his own free will and accord, secured a promotion for Miss Homer Stapler who is, perhaps, the only representative of our race employed in a clerical capacity in the City Government. This promotion carries with it an increase in salary. Several other appointments have been made in the Police Department. Each received the endorsement of Mayor Cryer. He also championed the cause of those Colored Officers who were dismissed from the service on charges which, in his just estimation, were not sufficient, but which in the absence of that discretion, would have produced an unfavorable result. These men are working now. They have proven worthy of the consideration shown them. Under Mayor Cryer's administration five Colored Officers have been promoted from Detective Sergeants to Lieutenants, a signal honor to our group and an economic stimulus to their families. More Colored men have been appointed to the Police Force during his term of office than have been under the combined periods of any two Mayors. On the basis of population and representation, he has given employment to our men in the Park Department of the City, each instance denoting a salary commensurate with the time and labor pursued. Perhaps the most marked achievement for us in the near future will be the establishment of a Fire House, to be occupied solely by our group. This progress is not the outgrowth of an effort to segregate or ostracize Colored citizens, but rather it hastens and prepares the development of that day when our people will take on the responsibilities which their citizenship demands. It is simply a victory made possible through combined efforts. We say "victory" advisedly, for a new Fire House would give us 16 more Colored firemen, four of which would be technically licensed engineers, drawing salaries pro-rated by the Commission. Two other officers of superior rank would follow as a result. The approximate pay of these men would be, for the individual, $170.00 per month, or $2040.00 per annum. This number multiplied by 16 would approximate the sum paid our men by the City Government. Their salaries approach something like $24,480.00 annually; with 16 more men added the sum would reach $57,120.00 every twelve months. The difference between winning and losing this fight means a matter of thousands of dollars for our people. A vote for CRYER is a step towards the realization of a race Fire House. St. Paul, Minnesota, has one. It was procured in the manner which we now suggest to you—that to give your support to the candidate who sees the need, propriety and benefit of those rapid changes and developments. 11. Bus Service—People's Motorbus Company offers bus lines—125 machines on streets already served by car lines, with few exceptions. 12. Paralleling Bus Service—The People's Motorbus Company propose to parallel the street car lines, on a 21-year franchise which cannot be cancelled regardless of the changed transportation conditions and traffic congestion will undoubtedly grow worse. 13. Buses Prohibited In Congested District—The McAdoo scheme would be a greater contribution to congestion than the jitneys because traffic on the streets has quadrupled since then, the McAdoo buses are four times the size of the former jitneys and the streets are the same size as i n1917. 14. Extension of Lines Into Hollywood and Universal Transfers—If street car lines are paralleled on the same streets by the People's Motor bus Company (McAdoo buses), it will not only stand in the way of unification, but make extensions out of the question.

We journeyed on from here the rest of the way without a generator. Our other troubles were now confined to the tires, which halted us on five different occasions, necessitating the purchasing of a new tire in Oakdale, 55 miles from our destination. The Roads The road to the camp is paved highway all the way with the exception of a small stretch, about 7 miles in length, known as Five Pass. This Pass is very dangerous, winding around the side of the mountain with always a drop to the left bank of from 100 to 600 feet. It is a one-man way, and only admits of two cars passing each other at certain sections prepared for this purpose. We arrived in camp at about 4:00 o'clock Friday afternoon, being on the road exactly 24 hours, due to the many stoppages we were forced to make; ordinarily it is a pleasant 18 hour drive. We found more at the camp than we expected, for on glancing around there were bunks, or cabins, everywhere; the first that we wended our way to, of course, was the cook house. Here, in an hour's time, through the industriousness of Mr. Dearing and Mr. Cole, we were sumptuously fed, and felt like ourselves once more. Owing to the lateness of the hour, it was decided to spend the evening as pleasantly as possible before retiring, and on the morrow to explore or prospect the hill—the object of our trip. (To be continued.) Owing to lack of time to secure the cuts of the many pictures we secured of the mines and vicinity, we will give a detailed report of the mine, whose vein is 5 feet across, takes in three claims (20 acres each), and whose ore, at 90 feet under ground is assayed at $42.00 per ton, in our next issue. Owing to the pressure of urgent political matters at this time, we were, to our regret this week compelled to omit certain items of importance, including the account of the Recognition service on the Belfast Epiphany. These news items will appear in our next issue. The Roads For Your Best Interests VOTE - WORK —For— PHIL JACOBSON A Good Business Man PRIMARIES MAY 1ST Campaign Headquarters 1029 SO.

All of these persons are doing the best possible service for both Mr. Farmer and the Motor Bus Proposition. Fred Frank, the genial, good-natured, all-around, and well informed statesman, is receiving a strong support in his race for the Council. Fred has helped so many of the other fellows to land that it is both deserving and becoming that all hands should get behind him. RESOLUTION FOR ENDORSEMENT WHEREAS, Henry Z. Osborne is a candidate for Congress in the Tenth District, and WHEREAS, he is a highly trained engineer whose record for public service over a period of more than twenty years has been of great credit to himself and to the engineering profession, and has been of incalculable value to the City of Los Angeles and Southern California, and WHEREAS, Henry Z. Osborne is in the prime of his ability as an active down-to-date engineer and one who has taken the most intense personal interest in the advancement of the engineering profession in Southern California, and has at all times given unselfishly of his time for the benefit of the engineering fraternity, and WHEREAS, by reason of his training, experience, and personal connections he is remarkably equipped for giving the district the most efficient service, and is known to be unservicing in his loyalty to public welfare and public interest. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved by the American Association of Engineers, University of Southern California, Student Chapter, to cordially endorse the candidacy of Henry Z. Osborne for Congress, and to pledge our earnest support to him throughout the entire campaign, and we strongly urge our members to exert their influence to the fullest in order that a capable, energetic and trustworthy professional engineer may represent the Tenth District in the next Congress. WOOD WILSON SAYS Motor Busses Unqualified Success in Other Cities A statement on the success of motor bus operation in the large cities of the country, where motor busses have operated, was issued this week by the People's Motor Bus Campaign Committee in furtherance of its project to expend approximately two million dollars to give the people of Los Angeles additional transportation facilities. The statement of the Committee points out that in New York City motor busses have been in operation for a considerable number of years, operate on various streets, have had no appreciable effect toward wearing out the pavements and have in no degree added to the traffic congestion. In this connection the Committee quoted telegrams received this week by Marco H. Hellman, president of the People's Motor Bus Company. One telegram reads: "Transportation by motor bushes has proved a great success in New York City. Three hundred are operated under city supervision. Bus operation started September, 1919." The telegram is signed by Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner of the Department of Plant and Structures. A telegram similar in tone was received from Detroit, Mich. one of the most progressive cities in the country. It reads: "Motor bus company in this city started service in June, 1920, which met with the approval of the riding public generally to such an extent that the service has been greatly extended and has been very satisfactory to citizens and local officials. The busses operate without a franchise merely under a license fee." (Signed) JOHN C. LODGE, Acting Mayor. Chas. H. Wood, a strong constructive man of affairs, is a winning candidate for the Council, and will receive a hearty support from all classes. In the light of the action of one of the would-be aspirants for the Council, the action of Sidney P. Dones stands out in bold relief as a man who politically would not stand in the way of success for the race. When Fred Roberts seemed to have the best chance five years ago, Attorney Mr. Dones had his petition signed and already filed, he gracefully stood aside and gave his hearty support to Roberts, who was elected. Also, in this present instance, due credit must be given J. W. Thompson and other aspirants, who gracefully stood aside and giving their support to Titus Alexander. W. H. Sanders (Pop) pulled off the biggest purely political meeting of the season at Central Hall Thursday evening. It was an auto motor bus meeting. All the candidates were there and Pop gave all of them a chance to meet the people. Henry Z. Osborne and his friends are making a straight-forward campaign, the seat held so long and ably by his distinguished father and are extremely confident when other candidates finish ham stringing each other that Mr. Osborne will be triumphantly elected. PHILIP JACOBSON, CANDIDATE FOR CITY COUNCILMAN, OPENS CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS Mr. Philip Jacobson, a prominent young business man of this city, takes this occasion to announce his candidacy for the city council. His campaign headquarters are now established at 1029 Broadway Place. Mr. Jacobson is a graduate of the University of California, and during the many years of his residence in Los Angeles, during which he has taken an active part in civic affairs, he has acquired a knowledge of the people nad their government needs, which preeminently fits him for a seat in the City Council. Among the public-spirited organizations with which Mr. Jacobson is affiliated are the Associated Secretaries, Los Angeles Transportation Club, and the Franchise Motor Carrier's Association, of which last body he is secretary. Mr. Jacobson's candidacy has been enthusiastically endorsed by a number of representative Los Angeles business men, who are fully acquainted with his ability, high ideals in business and in politics, and his irresponsable integrity, and who believe that he would be of real service to the public as a Councilman. His many friends and supporters are confident that Mr. Jacobson will be among the leaders to the eighteen candidates who are named for Council at the Primary election on May 1, and Mr. Jacobson takes this occasion to solicit our suffrage at that time. THERE WILL BE A HOT TIME AT THE FORUM SUNDAY Last Sunday was field day at the Forum, and it being the political season, things were sizzling all along the line. Henry Z. Osborne, Jr., was present, and addressed the gathering, also one of the labor candidates for he Council, both of them made good speeches, but it remained for the Motor Bus Proposition to furnish the fire works for the afternoon. It came about where the versatile and wide-awake Daily Express man, Noals D. Thompson, asked Mr. Osborne a question, a very pertinent one, which answer might have shown for or against the Motor Bus Proposition. Before Mr. Osborne could answer, the editor of this paper got in an objection and after much discussion pro and con, the question was not allowed and no answer came forth. On tomorrow the chairman of the program committee, among other things, will conduct a joint debate on the Motor Bus Propositions and there will be a "Hot Time in the Old Town." Don't miss it. Work and Vote For Titus Alexander For the Council Special Articles Book Reviews Opinions Interviews Archie Woodyard Makes New Record Archie Woodyard Makes New Record PREP ATHLETES COMPETE IN CITY TRACK AND FIELD MEET ON PATTERSON FIELD Track N. Thusiast. One of the most successful city track and field meets was held on Patterson Field last Saturday. It was a great day. The meet was featured with very fast time and keen competition. Six records were broken, two were tied and the national scholastic eight-man one-mile relay record was broken by Hollywood high school with the lively time of 3 min. 6 3-5 seconds. Manual Arts formerly held the record of 3 min. 7 seconds. Many Colored athletes competed and starred for their schools. Chief among them was Archie Woodyard; Jefferson High flyer, who smashed the city mark for the 220 year dash, by winning it in 22.1. The judges gave him second in the 100 yard dash but there are many who believe that he beat the Pasadena flash, Pollack. According to Maxwell Stiles, writing for the Examiner: "Woodyard of Jefferson set a new record in the 220 on a straightway of 22 1.5, and in the 100 yard dash he ran almost a dead heat with Pollack. Photographs of the finish show Woodyard actually won the race, although the judges gave it to Pollack. The boys were within half an inch of each other and Pollack had a lane nearer the judges than Woodyard had drown." Whizar of Pasadena placed third in the blue ribbon event and helped his team to finish second in the relay. He has been a consistent point winner throughout the season. Hurlic, also of Pasadena aided his Alma Mater by grabbing fifth in the century, second in the broad jump and running the fastest lap in the relay. Charles Diggs was handicapped with an injured leg and consequently did not place in the high hurdles, although he qualified for the event on Wednesday. Diggs ran the first lap in the relay for L. A. and his performance was good considering his condition. George Duncan of Lincoln finished fifth in the 220 yard dash. ran a fine race in the first lap of the relay. An- GREAT SALT LAKE By: Wendell P. Gladden, Jr. Unique is the setting and beautiful. Just beyond Ogden, Utah, to the west, a chain of rugged, cloud-covered, sun-swept, and sometimes hardly discernable peaks encircle an immense body of water. It is the great Salt Lake. On crossing this lake, a journey of about thirty miles, looking far out on either side, one notes gaps between the mountains where the little sea rolls on. But the peaks loom up to join the circular chain again. Now the eyes begin to trace slowly the innumerable, converging paths of salt, to follow carefully their ragged borders back to the train, where, just below, they break on the cold and colorful rock, only to retreat in beds of foam. Westward, there is a small peninsular, a break in the flowing lake. To the north, a huge bowl of brimming red water shimmers in the morning sunlight. Again, the lake calls, fascinates! How much like the sea it is; but there is never a ship, no, never the pictures; que sail to break the lake's clear clean edge. Ah! so much like the sea, with fluteering sea gulls gliding and dippng and swaying in their play; only the mountains and low flat foot hills continually pierce the background of azure. Here and there can be seen immovable dried lakes of salt not unlike the tin of sand. No sea gulls are here, only bits of shrubbery on their surfaces, and sometimes little meandering golden streams. There is a loneliness and sadness prevailing as one looks upon the rain-trailed hills and mountains in the distance, and the desolate expanse at hand. Farther, the water s salt and yellow on the one side of the narrow roadway, fresh and almost crystal on the other, with the same upturned cup of blue hanging over O lake, green and glistening and rippling now, but restless still, how many warriors and chiefs of lost nations have gazed in wonderment upon your surface, rhythmic and tumbling! What is the hushed song you sing? Why do you wail when you have strength, and power far superior to man? You are so vast, yet, you complain. What is your sorrow, O, lake? Is it that Death stalks naked and silent on your depths immeasurable? I can not help you, little sea. I also bring my grief here in quiet communion with you, but can not groan, for you are so vast and wonderful, your voice utters a thousand tones of distress, while I remain so weak and small. O lake, I surrender my boon of woe to you and am amazed again at your beauty, and immensity supreme. IVAN JOHNSON WINS QUARTER IN ARIZONA TRACK MEET Ivan Johnson, the U. S. C. quartermiler, stepped the 440 yeards in 52 seconds for first place in the U. S. C. Arizone meet Saturday, beating the four-man one-mile relay helping his team to win in the good time of 3 minutes 32 3-5 seconds. TED SHAW PLACES IN 220 YD. DASH IN SAN FERNANDO MEET In the San Fernando Invitational track and field meet held in the valley town last Saturday, Ted Shaw of Monrovia, won third place in the finals of 220 yards. He placed second in the first heat of the half lap event, and second in the first heat of the century. Ted equalled the Central League mark of 10.1 some days ago. other year may find him a very hard man to beat. De Lavallade of Polytechnic looked record. good in the high jump, but was forced out of the running the height of 6 feet 1-4 inch was attained by Turner of Hollywood, establishing a new city Dawson of Jefferson and Poynter of Pasadena performed well in the broad jump, although they did not place. Leroy Johnson of Manual Arts placed seventh in the half-mile race. Hanson a team-mate won the event and tied the city record of 2 minutes 1 4-5 seconds. We'll say Johnson was in fast company. This is Johnson's last year of track at the Toiler institution. Clarence Brothers of Toiler man the first lap for the toiler team. He has been consistent this year. He is handicapped with the loss of one orm, but has done 10.2 many times, and he aided Manual in placing third in the relay. Hurd of Lincoln did not qualify for the quarter-mile last Wednesday, but was there for Lincoln in the eight-man affair. Bisco competed for Jefferson in the discus throw, though he did not place he showed his class and will with another season be heard from. The Good Samaritan. W. P.

Billy leaves behind a host of admirers and friends. these belonged to the man who lay panting on the pavement. His hat lay a few feet away, shabby and dirty. And still he lay there numb, half conscious. But, lo! he cannot rise! He needs help! He gradually sinks to the pavement, and in doing so strikes his head against an iron fence. Again he is still and crumbled and disfigured. Two women follow, laughing and making fun. A great joke, eh? Other men and women standing across the street watch, but offer no assistance. White and black alike pass, but only look back at him. Ah! here comes a man with heart big enough, soul stirred, and helps him to his feet and carries him home for teratment. The stricken man often had these paralytic spells. BLACKIE RICE BEATS JACK MOORE IN MAIN EVENT AT COVINA Blackie Rice, local 165 pounder, won the decision over Jack Moore, sparring partner for Jack Dempsey, in the main event at Covina last Friday night. Blackie had three knock-downs to his credit. He is managed by H. W. King of this city who is also the manager of three other good boys namely: Baby Gans, Young Burtom, Lightning Davis. All of these battlers have been going great in recent fights. SON GOODRICH BEATS-FRENCHIE AT MADISON SQUARE The following were the winners at Madison Square Garden boxing arena Wednesday night.

It is beautiful with tints of azure, and a flood of sunlight illumining the prussian blue above. Below is an artistically-designed rose-arbor and miniature gardens velded with bowers colorful and sweet-scented, while beyond is the court of crimson and tents of gold. The ex-sheik slowly paces the soft carpeted floor of gray and green. He meditates. His arms are folded and he walks, hesitatingly again. All of the Associated Sheiks and scouts have reported and have just been given private interviews. So the ex-sheik has sought solitude here to plan future movements and tactics. Backbiters, chewers, nibblers and followers have been slightly negligent in their maneuvers and are subject to increased activity and urgent duties for the coming week. The Ex-sheik-Speaks: April showers still come and go and threaten again, but soon this month of rain and changeable weather will fade into eternity. There is much within to do. Festivals, entertainment, reading, smoking, and strolling about the verandas of my vast estate, or seeking shelter and comfort from high winds, enjoying companionship with my favorite. Attendants make daily inspection of our wardrobe. Our horses are well-cared for. There is unity and peace on my premises. Green are the trees against the blue background of sky; tender and frail are the fresh upshoots in woodland and glen, but Mother Nature will be bountiful with her treasures. Then will the ex-shelf roam again accompanied by his favorite, his love for her love belongs to him; and love is life with the spirit. Edited by WENDELL P. GLADDEN, Jr. YMCA Y. M. C. A.

The swimming tank will receive a fresh coat of paint, the handball court will be improved with a cement flooring. Another feature will be an open box arena with facilities for outside wrestling, under competent instructors. Gym classes will begin early next month and all business and professional as well as men engaged in other occupations are urged to enroll. There will be plenty to keep them busy with swimming, handball, boxing, wrestling, and gymnastics, and new steel lockers for their use. Stunt Night is Successful. A good crowd was entertained in the gymnasium last Tuesday when the first of our monthly Stunt Night and Minstrel Show programs was the feature. Boxing, wrestling, gym stunts, and music furnished the attraction for the evening. Some new and bigger things are promised for next month. Clothing for Russian Students. The Y. M. C.

Annual YMCA Track Meet Scheduled For May 20. Entries will be received soon for the Annual Track and Field Meet conducted by the Ninth Street Branch Y. Many new events will be added this year and a large entry is expected. We are arranging to have the Y boys from Oakland to compete on this day. They have a strong team, and with the material of the Southland, competition should be very keen. Further details regarding the meet will be published in length. Now that there were no more infidels to disturb his haremes, and it was dismal without, the ex-sheik desired even more entertainment and amusement. He detailed his counsellors to send for outside talent. These men in turn sent scouts across the windswept plains in search of new dancers. But a few hours pass before the attentive and obedient followers have secured unique performers. Each performer is announced. Ah! the dance! The dancers had been trained to dance from childhood. They came tripping, swaying, swinging rhythmically, falling as if prostrate, before the ruler of the land. Orientale music continued far into the night. News item. Dispatches-reached the private office of the ex-sheikh to the effect that more than a hundred Shehas corralled in his harem. Unfortunately this advance agent met with the law. Hard luck. A slight re-union of the Association of Sheikhs was registered not many days past. Music als Orientale and als sheikh and general footwork were in practice.

William H. Gamble & Co. Real Estate, Loans and Fire Insurance NOTARY PUBLIC "STRUTTIN ALONG" HAS SUCH CESSFUL WEEK IN LOS ANGELES "Struttin' Along," the musical comedy sensation of the season, in connection with Mamie Smith, celebrated record star, and her jazz hounds, opened at the Philharmonic Auditorium last Monday night, under direction of Ackerman and Harris, and proved to be one of the fastest shows ever to perform on the coast. Moving picture stars and other local artists were among the first to attend, all proclaiming the performance great. More than thirty-one hundred people crowded into the auditorium during the week and were highly entertained. The first act began with a snappy scene "Down on the Old Plantation," in which Frisco Nick, William Pierson, and Richard Courtney were featured in some very good comedy. They were assisted by a chorus of about twenty-five girls. John Rucker and Sid Perrin were a scream in "An Afro-Chinese Fracas." These funny comedians won the audience with their humor and dancing, and received much applause. In Strut three, Susie Hurst and Jessica Derneck offered a clever little dancing and singing act in "A Bit of Carolina Sunshine." At the opening of the next scene the sweet harmony and unusual touch of syncopation of Mamie Smith's famous Jazz Hounds pleased. The New York Favorite came forth in beautiful and gorgeous costume, and rendered several jazz numbers, and was also well-received. This scene served as the peak of the climax of the first act. The Sheik's Harem scene was elaborat, and realistic with Bee Blake as the sheik's favorite, Frisco Nick, the sheik, the favorite's dancers, sheik's counsellors, slaves and harem dancers. It was colorful with just enough comedy and wit and excellent dancing by Zoe Ramee and Carolyne Snowden to make it light and appealing. There was some clever dancing by the sheik, and singing. Sid Perrin, as the Chinese, together with John Rucker, Richard Courtney, Eddie Anderson, Katherine Reese, and William Person, in "The Railroad Accident" proved to be a sensation. Perrin's dancing was commendable. Three more scenes concluded the program. Zoe Ramee exhibited wonderful artistic talent in Strut three in connection with the Coloradora Sexet, trailing on her toes with the cake after the cake-walk. Richard Courtney and Carolyne Snowden were in a snappy act singing Agravatin Papa, a popular jazz number. Carolyne Snowden's performance in the Sudanese Danse was wonderfully attractive, displaying agility and artistic taste, rhythm and movement extraordinary, to say the least. Zoe Ramee descended and mounted the stairway on her toes, evoking more applause and admiration. Mile, Augusta Petit rendered an operatic number—The Lark. She displayed a wide range and almost perfect control and placement. Models and Muff girls were in the final strut. The Mamie Smith Contest and "Struttin' Along" ended the most delightful evening. The show is on the road again and it is hoped that their return visit will be soon.

Selig Zoo World's Greatest Show Place AN OPEN LETTER TO DR. PROWD. THIRD BAPSTIST CHURCH Cor of Clay and Hyde Streets. San Francisco, Cal. April 13, 1923. We know that you have probably heard of the death of our dearly beloved Pastor Rev. J. A. Dennis of Feb. 20th, and this comes to inform you that the church will hold a grand Memorial on Sunday afternoon April 22, in his honor, at which time a subscription will be raised for the purpose of erecting a monument o'er his grave and to install a Memorial window in the church. It is within our knowledge that you were a close friend of Rev. Dennis, so it is needless for us to recite his many excellent qualities that so endeared him to all who knew him. We only address you at this time that you may have an opportunity to subscribe to the fund that will be raised. Although your subscription may not reach us by the date of the Memorial Service it will be acceptable at anytime, and you are advised to make your remittance to Mrs. I. B. Reed, same payable to Memorial Committee of Third Baptist Church. Mrs. Reed is our Church Clerk and resides at 339 Kirkham Street, San Francisco. Thanking you in advance for your co-operation and for whatever amount you may give. We are Yours in Christ. Rev. J. L. ALLEN, Pastor. T. COX, Chairman Board of Deacons. B. L. TYRELL, Chairman Trustee Board. J. M. THOMPSON, Chairman of Committee. Orval Anderson, Secretary of Committee. Mrs. I. B. REED, Church Clerk. THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH— Cor of Clay and Hyde Streets. San Francisco, Calif. April 13th, 1923. I take this liberty to address you concerning enclosed matter, as we desire that you do your utmost to swell the subscription in Los Angeles, and would like for you and Rev. T. L. Griffith whom I have written, to join forces and arouse as much interest in the affair as possible. I also beg to state that any amount derived in the fund over what is required to erect the monument will be given to the widow, Mrs. Dennis. There is quite a bit of talk about not installing the Memorial window but simply erect the monument and turn the balance over to Mrs. Dennis as a contribution from the public. I failed to state so in the appeal enclosed herewith as it somewhat delicate, although it is known that Mrs. Dennis was left without anything, owing to Rev. Dennis' overwhelming charity, as you may yourself know. I trust you will find it advisable to take charge of the Los Angeles end of the subscription jointly with Rev. T. L. Griffith, and that you will be able to raise a handsome amount. Thanking you for your interest, and success in your work, I am, Yours in Christ, Orval Anderson, Secretary of Memorial Committee. MARYSVILLE, CALIF. The Mt. Olivet Baptist Church will lose its pastor, Rev. E. C. Dyer, who received and has expected a call to become pastor of the Independent Baptist Church of Portland, Oregon. He plans to leave May 1. Mr. Dyer came here a year ago and took charge of the work. He came highly recommended and we must say he has not come short of the recommendations and we say he is a man of great worth wherever he may be. The church has been the center of activities since he has been here. The members do not hesitate to say the church and the community sustains a great loss by his leaving. Mr. Dyer's resignation came as an unexpected shock. The members voted unanimously not to accept it. Although Rev. Dyer insists on going, we want him and the world to know that he is going against the will and wishes of the members, and friends of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. Much improvements have been made in the building including a concrete floor in the basement which is just being completed. FOR RENT: Neatly furnished room —3509 Paloma street.
