GRAND OPENING OF THE DUNBAR HOSPITAL DRAWS GREAT THRONGS ON LAST SUNDAY Auspicious indeed was the opening day of the Dunbar Hospital on East 15th Street, midway between Hooper and Central Avenue. Early after the noon hour the crowd began to gather and up until 6:00 p. m. it is estimated that fully 3000 persons paid their respects, to this the latest addition of ace enterprise. Gratifying to the Public From many angles are the people gratified at the opening of this long delayed institution. They appreciate the same for its completeness and that it is thoroughly modern in every way and everything including the building itself is bran new. They appreciate it for at last the race has a first class hospital of which it can boast. They further appreciate that a trio of our professional men have by practical demonstration convinced even the skeptic that they can bring things to pass. Personal of Dunbar Hospital Doctors F. J. Whittaker, R. S. Whittaker and C. S. Diggs are responsible for the ultimate establishment of this institution and the many vicissitudes have stuck together and with their means have given to the race a hospital, which all may point to with pride. These gentlemen say that the doors of Dunbar Hospital will always swing ajar for any reputable physician and surgeon and thus they have brought about a condition which, has heretofore been denied race physicians at least. To these forward looking and progressive physicians the race owes a debt of gratitude which they cannot pay. All of the physicians and surgeons stand in the front ranks of their profession and will demonstrate to the utmost the capacity of the race to conduct a first class hospital. Location Ideal Midway on E. 15th between Central and Hooper is indeed an ideal location for an institution of this kind, free from noise and other influences which militate against a sick patient. The hospital building itself while not massive in size measures up in all requirements of a modern hospital. It has accommodation for fully 40 patients. As you enter the hospital proper upon each side of the large veranda there are two sun or convalescing rooms and you enter a large and commodious hallway. To the left is located the hospital office, in the rear of which is located the minor, operating room. The 3rd room on the left is a private patients room for one or two persons. This room is most beautifully furnished by the generosity of Friendship Baptist Church of Pasadena. Likewise is room No. 5 furnished through the philanthropic spirit of Mr. and Mrs. William Dixon of Pasadena. Room No. 6 is also a private patients room for one or two persons Room No. 7 is the sterilizing room, two mammoth nickle plated boilers, dry racks etc., give an idea of its completeness. Room 8 is the maternity room uniquely furnished with tiny cribs and highly ornamental scales. The next is the Dietetic room where properly cooked foods are prepared by chefs trained in the art of culinary. The storage room is in the extreme rear of the left side. Room 9 on the right hand is the delivery room equipped with all modern conveniences. No. 10 is the large air well lighted Major Operating room, equipped with every modern appliance for an up to date hospital. The operating table (latest model) in this room was presented to the Dunbar hospital by Dr. Frank Pearl. Room No. 11 is the Nursery room where juvenile patients are domiciled, children from 5* years to 12 are inmates of this department. This room was furnished by Mrs. Booker T. Washington Jr., and will accommodate 4 patients Room 13 is a regular ward with accommodation for 5 patients. The floral offerings for the hospital were profuse and beautiful and furnished by the N. I. B. C. Club, while the sun room was furnished by the Metropolitan Baptist Church of Pasadena. The opening was a wonderful demonstration to a wonderful undertaking and in days to come there is no question but what the promoters of the same will discern that their efforts have not been in vain.

ELKS LODGE OF SEATTLE TO THE FOREFRONT In our recent trip up the Pacific Coast on business for our forward moving traternity the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and while holding high the banner of Odd we are not so narrow for unmindful and give credit where credit is due to note the marvelous progress of the Ellis in this ballpark and at Seattle it seemed as though the climax was at hand when the Enabled Ruler of the Seattle Lodge showed us over one of the most elaborate as well as most beautiful fraternial homes which of NEGROES IN AMERICA ARE HUNDRED YEARS AHEAD South African Educator Pleased With Race's Progress Here. Sets Standard for World. Africa Offers Fine Field of Service for Trained American Negroes. ATLTNTA, Ga., (Special)—That the Negro in America is in every way a hundred years ahead of the natives of South Africa, is the statement of Dr. James Henderson, a noted educator from that country, who is spending a few months in America in the study of race relations and Negro education. This is due, he said, to the fact that the American Negro came much earlier into contact with Christian civilization and has had far greater opportunities for education and self development. He was particularly impressed with the economic progress which the race has made in this country, which he said was far beyond anything he had expected. Dr. Henderson has given his life to the education of the natives of British South Africa, having been for many years principal of Lovedale Institute, the great African Tuskegee, a missionary institution with a faculty of 60 and a student body of 900. While in Atlanta he visited a number of Negro colleges nad was greatly pleased with them, commenting most favorably on their fine equipment, competent and devoted teachers and intelligent students. A number of well-trained American Negroes, he said, are rendering fine service in Africa as teachers and social workers. Wherever they have been tried they have made good, was his emphatic testimony. He believes that the number of such workers will greatly increase and that in this way the educated American Negro is destined to make a great contribution to Africa's development. The good will work of the Interracial Commission, of which he had heard in Africa where its methods are beginning to be adopted, interested Dr. Henderson greatly. The problem of race relations, he said, is much more difficult there than here, and much further from solution. It was his opinion that the progress of the American Negro is setting a new standard for the world in the development of backward peoples. From Atlanta Dr. Henderson went to Tuskegee Institute. has ever been our lot to see. We can truthfully say that it is the most beautifully located, elaborately furnished and well-conducted home of its kind in this country. The following extract from Cayton's Year Book is a fair description: "Situated upon the brow, of one Seattle's many commanding hills gives to it a sweeping view of Seattle's great chain of lakes to the east Seattle herself with its busy bustling waterfront lined with acres of oceangoing crafts and finally of three moun tain ranges from all sides studded with gorgeous snow covered moun tain peaks, the beauties of which are surpassed throughout the wide world. If viewing the wonders and beauties of nature count for anything in man, then no wonder that members of this Ellis lodge feel bigger and better men after having spent a season at this palatial clubhouse. The interior of the building is no less inviting than the exterior, and from parlor to pantry and from kitchen to the lodge room on the second floor capable of accommodating 200 or more members at once, a perfect place presents itself." Under the regime of Eraited Ruler H. R. Chanley, the order is moving on to greater heights by lea ges and bounds and he has truly brought to pass a new day for fraternal progress in this section of our country. EDITOR MAYFIELD OBJECTS TO PO LA NEGRI'S "DIRTY PLAY" EDITOR MAYFIELD OBJECTS TO PO LA NEGRI'S "DIRTY PLAY" Coarse, contemptible and insulting. Vulgar, bestial and degrading. That is the only description I can give of Pola Negri's dirty play. The first picture of the Polish vamp in America is an open insult to the nation. It is a brazen propaganda for social equality. It is a stench in the nostrils of the Southland and an affront to the Caucasian race. Europe's alleged star should be sent back to Poland to twinkle among a people where the white instinct is not so pronounced as it is in America, and with her should go the depraved second-hand clothing merchants who foisted the production on the American people. The picture was barred from Houston by the local censor board and permitted entry, over their protest, by the mayor of Houston. Thank God for the censor board, and—well, you can guess my sentiments for the mayor. The story of "Bella Donna," Pola Negri's dirty play, deals with the mad infatuation of a white woman for a dark skinned North African, yclept an Egyptian. Those who saw the play witnessed the horrible and revolting spectacle of a white woman, clinging in the arms of a colored man. The white face of woman melting into the passionate countenance of the black man, and those Jews made the Egyptian good and black, as if to vent some ancient grudge. The picture is an insult to all America and a direct thrust at the Southland. I told you some time ago that the depraved and degraded bunch of Kikes who control the movie industry of this country had deliberately and with malice aforethought planned to break down the moral life of Protestant America with the subtle and convincing propaganda of the screen. I told you how, inch by inch, they dragged the heroes and heroes of the youth of this land into the utter depths of sin, depravity and human nakedness. I told you of the foul and immoral lessons they daily schooled into the children of this land and I predicted then that the day was coming when they would seek to carry that degradation to further depths by introducing the negro on the screen to act in conjunction with white people and attempt to foist that on a white Protestant race for whom they seem to have nothing but contempt. I told you it was coming, and here is its approach. Already negroes are being given roles in screen plays, more and more they are intruding into the plays, and the latest step is the Negri in "Bella Donna."

If the Negroes of Los Angeles ever expect to secure just recognition, they must certainly get out of the old rut of waiting for somebody to give them something. In other words, they must stand up, and use their fullest resources to procure something for themselves. The recent primary vote demonstrated the fact that less than twenty percent of the voting population of our group availed themselves of their franchise to vote. Had they done so, there would have been no question of the nomination of Titus Alexander by an overwhelming vote. We could name various precincts where, to our own personal knowledge, hundreds' of voters reside; and yet at Tuesday's election, in these very same precincts, they absolutely went to sleep on their rights, and lost the opportunity to nominate Mr. Alexander. Therefore, it is apparent that we have nobody to blame except ourselves. To get anywhere along the line of political effort, we must certainly learn the lesson of helping ourselves. NORTH VS. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. The failure of the present legislature to enact laws apportioning the state into assembly and senatorial districts, as provided for in the constitution of the United States, is indeed a sad commentary upon the law-makers of this State. In other words, it seems as though the northern section of California has entered into a conspiracy to rob the southern section or Los Angeles, of its just dues. Los Angeles cannot help it, because she has that magnetism which is drawing to this section thousands upon thousands of citizens from all parts of the United States, to make their homes within these portals; and the constitution of the United provides that representation shall be granted according to the population, and if a legislature fails to obey the constitution, what is to be expected of the ordinary man or woman? Disrespect for the constitution and the laws of the land is what brings about confusion and crime. Therefore the present legislature may temporarily succeed in thwarting the constitution, in in doing so, they will bring down upon their heads the condemnation and just criticism of all people who stand for justice, for law, and for order. It may eventually rejuvenate the movement for a separation of the state, and then Northern California can look over the fence at the Tehachapi Mountains, and watch Los Angeles and Southern California grow. HARVARD'S TWEEDLEDEE TWEEDLEDUM! Most of the Negro editors have been jubilant over Harvard's latest announcement on the Negro question. Almost without exception they express themselves as quite satisfied. We cannot bring ourselves to this position. In fact, a careful reading of the opinion issued by the Board of Overseers W. M. SHEI If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened will reveal little of any difference between the policies of the Board and President Lowell. It is just a twist of words—a pretty good piece of verbal fiddlesticks. For instnace, after stating that "Harvard would not surrender its traditional ideals," it goes on to state: "Immediately after the overseers had approved the policy of non-discrimination, they adopted another motion to the effect that freshmen shall be required to live in the freshmen dormitories, and stipulating expressly that men of the white and colored races shall not be compelled to live and eat together, but that no man shall be excluded by reason of his color." What does Harvard's Board mean by saying "freshmen shall be required to live in the freshman dormitories, but men of the white and colored races shall not be compelled to live together?" They have never been compelled to live together in the same rooms. Neither are white students compelled to accept roommates against their will. All that was ever required was that the men should live in the freshmen dormitories, in rooms with walls between them. And pray! what is meant by saying "colored and white students in the university shall not be required to eat together —but that no man shall be excluded by reason of his color?" Here we are on slippery ground. It is a mystery how attendance in the dormitories and dining room can be compulsory, yet the students are not compelled to live and eat together, and no man be excluded by reason of his color." Now either the white and colored students must be compelled to eat together or the Negro students must be discriminated against. No two things can both be "is" and "ain't" at the same time. If the white and colored students do not eat together, where will the colored men eat? Does Harvard anticipate a separate dining room or an "ordinary" for the colored men? Or does Harvard intend to have a separate dining room for the white Southerners who do not care to eat in the dining room with Negroes? Then, too, how will Harvard determine what white students are opposed to eating with the colored ones? Will she send around a questionaire? And doesn't she know that such action will arouse nd stimulate race prejudice where none now exists? Or will make the fires burst through where now they are only smoldering? As we are able to see thru it, the Board of Overseers has simply made an adroit play upon words. It is Harvard's tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum on the Negro question. It is a slight-of-hand on words. In very truth, it is a "Trojan Horse." Before getting too jubilant, our Negro journalists should probe into this newly stated policy of Harvard. It may prove to be the same old horse just dressed up in new livery. Let us await Harvard's practical application of this "discrimination non-discrimination" policy—this exclusion -non-exclusion rule. Our candid opinion is that the Board of Overseers holds the same position President Lowell expressed. The chief difference is that Lowell was brutally frank while the board is running, true to form, with Anglo-Saxon hypocrisy. Yes, that's the difference! THE BYSTANDER Charlie West of Washington and Jefferson College, Hubbard of Michigan and Woodyard of Jefferson High School make us feel just proud of the young manhood of our race. Charlie West by his prowess and skill won the coveted pentathlon at the celebration Penn Relays last week. This brings to him and to the race the honor of the greatest all-round athlete in the land. Three cheers for Charlie! Some will remember him as a member of the celebrated Washington and Jefferson football team that played the "wonder eleven" California, to a tie game in Pasadena, Hubbard of Michigan on the same occasion won his event in mastery style. Mr. Woodyard a local member of our tribe simply ran all over the field last Saturday and equalled the record of the "fastest human," Charlie Paddock, in the 220 yd. dash. An Eastern, Middle-West and Western boy in each case demonstrates the fact that with fair competition and no favors our men will break even or outstrip the best. Tuskegee Hospital. Our good friend, brother Moton, seems to be between the devil and the deep blue sea down in old Alabama. The much heralded Memorial Hospital, that was supposed to bring to the city beauty and splendor, has afforded much room and opportunity for risappointment and grief. The possibilities are that here we will have a hospital for colored only, to be received from every nook and corner of our globe. The biggest split however is over the administration of affairs. Robert Russia in his modest manner plead for colored. The Governor of Alabama and other Dixie supporters say "It must not be." They have got the old boy at last. And in our sublimest moment we who wonder at the policy of the way of least resistance are justified in asking "What does a man gain when he compromises with the South and loses his man hood and soul." If the adherents of pacificism wish to uphold the law of peace and quietude, and dropping your bucket where you are they had best stand by the Russia brigade. THE MUSICIAN Historic Eighth and Towne Avenue Church will be the scene of an intellectual repast next Friday evening. The select of our, various High Schools will entertain us with declarations selected from famous speakers. Everyone loves good speaking, and it is safe to conjecture that with the formidable array of talent Hsted from the High Schools Clay and Webb School will be the school clay training Here is an opportunity to see and hear what high school training is doing for our young people. It is a noteworthy occasion and every citizen of color ought to be on hand to witness this battle of intellects. BRAIN NOT SOLE SEAT OF MIND BRAIN NOT SOLE SEAT OF MIND When I present newly discovered facts about the brain, do not misunderstand me and continue to think, as many persons do, that the brain is the same as the mind. The mind pervades the whole human being. The brain is only a small part of it—a structure used by man to co-ordinate and to switch reality seen, felt or perceived on the outside from the senses to the muscles and elsewhere. The fissures of the brain are held by some physiologists to be the result of limited cranial capacity. Just as Queen Dido succeeded in enclosing an immense area in a small sheet by cutting it into strips, so the surface of a smooth orange is necessarily smaller than a rough, corrugated "hill and valley," one of the same diameter. The increased need of space in the animal skull without a corresponding increase of the bony dome is met by unfoldings and repupilations, hollows and hillocks in the fibres and cells of the gray matter. It is an 'egotistic guess' unsupported by the facts to maintain that intelligence, knowledge and genius make for a greater number of convolutions in the brain. Professor G. Jefferson in his latest researches has shown and has been confirmed by all who have repeated his experiences, that the furrows of brain are not so extensive than characteristic that make for more space. Dr Zellony, of Paris, kept dogs alive without brains from 11 to 16 months. Men have lived for hours and days after battles of the last war with practically no brains. And while Professor Zellony kept his dogs without brains alive for nearly two years, he was able to prove by experiments that they could learn, hear, distinguish different sounds and tastes, and recognize the difference between these sounds and tastes. These and many other experiments in the last nine or ten years show how love affair of a white woman with a black man. Ye Gods! Is it conceivable that such a play could be presented in the Old South? Worse than that, open insult follows rapidly on the heels of displayed immorality. This bulletin is flashed on the screen. Read, white sons of the South—read it and reflect. Read it, again and again, and see to what revolting depths the depraved Jews have dragged the moving pictures: "WHITE SKINNED LADIES WILL FLIRT WITH BROWN SKINNED MEN WHEN THEIR HUSBANDS ARE AWAY."—Pola JOHN H.

When you recollect that the brain is analogous to a three-way electric switch or a telephone central station, it might be expected that the animals born with brains to hold fast the various complicated parts of the anatomy might not live one day, much less months, after their brains were removed. Furthermore, it would seem that the animals born with brains if they did continue to live that they might be unable even to see, much less remember, perceive, decide between pleasant and unpleasant things, recognize friends and foes and perform tricks and voluntary movements. Finally, if those persons who still believe that the mind and the soul reside in the brain care to be overwhelmed with the new experiments, observations and facts to the contrary, I beg to refer them to the mighty array of research workers, physiologists and experimental psychologists, to wit, Professor John B. Watson, of John Hopkins University; Dr. Shepherd Ivory Franz, of the Government Hospital for the Insame; Dr. P. Korundryg of France; Dr. G. Mengazzini, Dr. A.

There is a movement being carried on throughout the nation known as the "Go To High School—Go To College" Compaign It is being conducted by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the first and strongest of Negro College Fraternities, having chapters in forty-four of the largest Universities and Colleges in America. The drive is an annual event with Alpha men and is an attempt to arouse the general interest of the colored youth of the country to "Get an Education—Stay in School." It is unnecessary to dwell at length on the importance of such a measure; the need is evident when one measures the conditions that constantly confront our people. Only thru such a medium will we be able to cope impressively with the ungodly situations to which we are to often forced to submit ourselves. The author of Alpha Phi Alpha, known as the Alpha Delta Chapter, and having its seat at the University of Southern California, will take its place in promoting the spirit of the general-organization, by holding its Educational Campaign from Sunday, April 29th to Sunday, May 13th. Following is a schedule of the meetings: Sunday, April 29th, our national Educational Sunday, will be called by two big meetings. In the morning the chapter will conduct its first meeting at the Westminster Presbyterian Church, on 35th Place and Denker St. Dr. John H. Montgomery, the registrar of the University of Southern California will be the principal speaker. In the evening an unusual program will be presented at the A. M. E. Church, 8th and Towne Avenue. At this meeting the Chapter will present Dr. R. B. Von Kleinsmid, the President of the University of Southern California, who will deliver a forceful message that should be of interest to all. A splendid musical program will accompany the address. Friday, May 4th, will find the Fraternity holding a meeting for girls at the Y. W. C. A. On Sunday, May 6th a most unique meeting will take place at the Forum, on 8th and Wall streets, in the form of a Symposium. A number of noted educators will discuss the main subject: "Educational advantages" followed by a musical program and an open discussion. An Educational Fete will be given for all high school and college students, on Sunday afternoon, May 13th, at four o'clock in the Parish Hall of the St. Phillips Episcopal Church. Dr. H. J. Stomer, executive secretary to the President of U. S. C., and a most able orator, has been secured to address the students. In the evening of this day, the campaign will be brought to a close at a meeting at the A. M. E. Church of Pasadena. In conjunction with the campaign, an Essay Contest will be held, open to students of high school grade. The subject will be "What Education has done for the Negro." There is a limit of 500 words and all essays must be in by Wednesday, May 9th. A prize of five dollars will be awarded the winner, and the winning essay read by the contributor, at the Educational Fete, May 13th. The committee in charge of the Educational Campaign, is made up of the following men: Malcolm H. Patton, Jr. Chairman, Dr. T. A. Greene; Arthur Prince; Samuel B. DANLEY, Jr., and J. ivan Johnson III. James McGregor President of Alpha Delta Chapter and National Vice-President of Alpha Phi Alpha, is one of the national directors of the Drive. These men appeal to every right-thinking person to lend support to the carrying on of a much needed work, prompted and guided by a spirit of loyal service, the spirit for which Alpha Phi Alpha stands. WINS MUSICAL RECOGNITION Adolphus Webb, Los Angeles student at Pacific Union College and member of the College Glee Club which at present is touring the northern part of the State, won exceptional recognition as tenor soloist in a recent program that the Glee Club gave before the critical musical audience of the Tuesday Club of Sacramento. Th music critic for the Sacramento Union gave the outstanding commendation to Mr. Webb. In his "write up" he made this statement: "Adolphus Webb has a tenor voice of quality, 'Duna,' by McGill, was one of the best numbers he sang." When such a statement as the above comes from the pen of the uncompromising music judge for the Tuesday Union, one cannot fail to note that Mr. Webb has received signal distinction, and that he is a singer far above the average. Mr. Webb was formerly a student of the well-known Carl Bronson of Los Angeles. At present he is specializing in music at Pacific Union College. This is his junior year in the Music Department. NOTED SPEAKER AT EAST 36TH STREET CHURCH Pastor Green of Washington, D. C., will lecture at the East 36th Street Church next Sunday evening. Pastor Green is at present making his semi-annual coast-to-coast tour of the states in the interest of the Lord's wrok. He will, after speaking in Los Angeles Sunday night, leave immediately for San Diego where he is to conduct a revival. At 7:45 a spiritual song service will be conducted before the evening's discourse. The song service will be interspersed with solos. Oldest on the Coast 15,000 Circulation the screen in the leading theatre in the city of Houston. So help me God, that foul and blasphemous lie was sent over America by the depraved and conscienceless Jews of Hollywood. Where are the thunderbolts of Jove? Where is the manhood of the Old South? The South has never been safe from the negro rape fiend. We have hung them by their necks, we have burned them at the stake, and still no woman is safe beyond the range of her husband's rifle. Conditions have ever been deplorable in the South, watch as we would, along this line, and now comes the Jewish propaganda that, "White skinned ladies will flirt with brown skinned men when their husbands are away." That brutal lie and that dirty play will lead more negroes to the funeral pyre than all of the other influences that ever combined to lure the black man to death for ravishing. That dirty lie will play upon the lips of ten thousand negroes now dreaming of social equality; that dirty play will stir up more turmoil and strife than all the influences of rabid negro papers ever published in the history of America. At this time when the colored man is chafing under the lash of incendiary writers, goading him to impossible dreams of social equality, Pola Negri's dirty play will lure him to extremes that lead but to the tomb. And that is but the beginning of the Jewish assault upon social equality. They hate the Ku Klux Klan; they have no interest in nor love for the Gentile race, and the batteries of their tremendous power are turned on social equality. They think, in their money-crazed lunacy, that they can get away with it. They will send out kindred pictures to Pola Negri's bestial act. They will have white men wildly infatuated with saddle-colored women; they will do anything under God Almighty's sun to degrade the Protestant people. Pola Negri's play was barred from Houston and Mayor Holcombe overrode his censor board and permitted it to be shown here. It is the story of a white woman who falls in love with an Egyptian coon, and is despoiled by him in his tent, and then goes madly in love with him, meets him nightly, and to make the picture more hellish, if that were possible, the white woman is spurned and kicked by the coon, while she swoons pleading at his feet. Pictures of that kind are going to cause more bloodshed in the South than flowed during the Civil war. The manhood of the South will not stand for such stuff. It is a specie of propaganda that must and will be stopped RIGHT NOW. There is a line beyond which the propaganda of the depraved Kike can never pass, with all of his power and wealth. Those pictures shall not be shown in the South.—Col. Mayfield in "Colonel Mayfield's Weekly." Houston, Texas, Sat., April 14, 1923. "THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YE FREE!" The supreme ignorance of the white mob of the South, is positively pathetic, as is discerned from the article entitled "Pola Negri's Dirty Play," from the "Mayfield Weekly," edited and published by a Colonel Mayfield, at Houston, Texas, when it, in most un-American fashion, attacks Pola Negri, the beautiful Polish star, who dared to portray in moving pictures an American-behind-the-scene act that has gone on, unhampered, for nearly three hundred years. "Ye Gods!" says Ye Editor Mayfield, "Is it conceivable In answer to this query, we say That this editor and his In answer to this query, we say: That this editor and his ilk in the dear old South, should have been perturbed over this black and white illicit love-making in the dark days of slavery, when they so lowered their white manhood as to become fathers of illegitimate families, by their dark-skinned slaves, who, it is said by those who experienced and suffered, obeyed the master's wishes in these matters, to the tune of the lash and became the progenitors of a mixture of half-white and half-black chattels for the slave market. And now, Mr. White Ku Klux, we would advise that you make a very quiet investigation and find out who were the real aggressors in the case of this "WHITE-SKINNED LADIES WILL FLIRT WITH BROWN-SKINNED MEN WHEN THEIR HUSBANDS ARE AWAY"—Pola Negri in "Bella Donna." And we believe that your dark eyes, imbedded in your white skin, will celebrate a grand opening on this subject that is causing you such great anxiety—and "the truth shall make ye free!"—C. A.

Our 11:00 o'clock service was attended with evidence of The Master's approval and blessing. The B. Y. P. U. session was ably conducted by the President, Mr. J. E. Prowd, and all present took part in the discussion that followed. The sermon at night was on Service. Dr. Prowd made it quite plain that our religious life must be fruit-bearing. The witness to the Christian is within, but the evidence of that life must be an outward manifestation in works of charity and holy living. We invite all to come and worship with us.

CONCERT DE LUXE It was an exceptional and varied program that greeted the hearers who perchance took advantage of the opportunity to listen to the concert at Philharmonic Auditorium Monday evening. The First A. M. E. Choirs and friends, under the direction of Prof. Elmer C. Bartlett, offered their third Annual Concert De Luxe. There was music for everybody as the program proceeded from high opera and classics to what one artist called "Honest to Goodness Jazz." The singing of the Senior Choir was --- We have advanced our own money for the purchase of this lease, and all expense of equipping. BECAUSE WE FEEL ABSOLUTELY SURE OF PRODUCTION.

We are operating in accordance with the laws of the State of California, under the jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Corporations with a permit from him, E commendable but that of the Junior choir was amazing. With voices tender and sweet, rich and fresh with youth and glee the young choir put exquisite expression and character in their shading and music. One is led to wonder, however, in spite of this most successful effort on their part to render classical music, whether or not they are left with the wrong impression by offering well received jazz as encore numbers. The choruses were good. Serious, with the nobility of sacred an classical music, there was richness and definiteness of their chord work, and unity like a single voice. The good sized audience evinced its appreciation by AND A CREW OF DRILLERS INSTALLING ROTARY RIG.

Monica, California, and has made arrangements to show moving pictures of her flights in Europe and America for the benefit of the Ninth Street Branch Y. M. C. A. from May 7 to 12. The famous flyer will have screened three motion pictures which display her skill and nerve. One of them, a Pathe-News Picture, has already been shown in one of the popular show houses of the city. It was taken in Berlin, Germany while she was maneuvering there. She was the only American allowed to fly over Potsdam Platz. This reel shows her before her flight, and also when she was soaring high above the former Kaiser's palace. On October 14, 1922, she made several exhibition flights during the TriState Fair, held in Memphis, Tennessee. There were more than 20,000 Colored people who witnessed her flights on that day. At this fair are representatives from Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee. The head man of the Fair presented her with a beautiful silver loving cup, and the keys. If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened Edited by WENDELL P. GLADDEN. Jr. Her third picture shows her swimming at Santa Monica, also when she was engaged in making a picture for the movies. It shows her starting, and flying, also the 300 feet nose-dive, and the crash. Miss Coleman finished the picture this week and had among her friends, Mr. Chandler Owen, who will be seen in the last reel. Mr. Owen lectures here on May 7, the same night of the first showing of Miss Coleman's films. He will be present on Tuesday night when he will speak. One day next week Dick Grace, a stunt flyer, who has been working with Ruth Roland Serial Company, will give exhibitions over a section of the east side, and drop handbills for the purpose of further advertising the pictures at the Y. M. C. A. He has promised to make a personal apearance. Several weeks ago the aviatrix left the government aviation field at San Diego in a Curtis airplane, landing at Long Beach in two hours. From there she made her way to Santa Monica. Here she was engaged to make pictures. It was feared that her machine was tampered with. She fell during this exhibition, sustaining two broken bones in the left leg and a deep cut on the chin. While she was convalescing at St. Catherine's hospital she had many visitors, and letters came from admirers and sympathizers. Among them was Miss Pickering of the A-musement Pier of Ocean Park. She made beads from seeds of flowers of the desert, and presented them to the dauntless aviatrix. Miss Coleman is a member of the International Federation of Aeronauts. Consequently, she has a license to fly in any country in the world. She made her first trial flight in Canada. She received her instruction abroad from experienced pilots in Amsterdam, Holland, Berlin, Paris and many other aerial centers. She piloted a Fokker airplane in Amsterdam, and a Benz, of 220 horsepower, which is said to be about the largest airship ever to be photoged by any woman. Upon her return to the States she was presented with a cup by the Shuffle Along Company, the musical comedy sensation of the East. She has made exhibition flights in many large cities, such as New York, Chicago, Gary, and in Long Island, and Memphis long before she came to the coast. Miss Coleman earnestly desires to help the members of her race. Especially does she want them to learn to fly. She intends to open an aviation school where all may come and learn to pilot ships of the air. In commenting on her ability to fly and her skill, the French Excelsior of March 7, 1922, had this to say of the young flyer: "Bessie Coleman is the most modern black." It stated further that in attempting to teach other members of her race to fly she would "cause the Negro to change. Uncle Tom's cabin into a hanger." Our race is the only race without pilots; and since transportation is so vital in the affairs of a people locally and nationally, none should overlook the value of this means of moving from one place to another and in transporting men and things. Swimming and billiards are her hobbies, while aviation is her profession. She has the highest respect from aviators of every nationality, has received encouragement from them Many important engagements are included in each day's program for the young aviatrix. Among them may be mentioned the recent Tea and Entertainment given hier by the Three Arts Club, a large white organization of this city. Miss Coleman was the guest of Madame Goetz on this occasion, and was pleased to listen to a violin number which was composed by a Colored artist in France. Former President Taft's sister is the president of the Club. And then on the 12th of this month, she will be the guest at a luncheon to be given at the Blue Bird Cafe--Hayward Hotel. Another of her social engagements will be at the Philharmonic Auditorium when she will be the guest of the Victory Post of the American Legion. Miss Coleman is educated, speaks French fluently, and an entertaining conversationalist. Her talk is ever of the race and for the race, which she loves and hopes to do her bit toward its advancement. Los Angeles and the race should not only admire her, but love her and appreciate her efforts along the lines of aviation. At every showing of her pictures Miss Coleman will be present to speak, and show her interest in the cause of the Y. M. C. A., as she feels a deep interest in young men and boys. The writer, therefore, solicits the hearty support of the public in this affair and a never-dying concern for our own and only world famous aviatrix, Bessie Coleman. CUB CAPER By Lee Whittaker With the coming of Spring and the awakening of the hormones in the system, the Southern Branch compusakes on the aspect of Noah's Ark. No longer does the solitary male amble northsouth while the coed trips eastwest. In the library, on the grass, down the walks, some of our most prominent citizens, who once walked alone, are now making themselves at home by taking the line of least resistance. The passing of the mid-term exams, with their disillusionments, disappointments and revivifying of hopes, joins with the passing of the Branch's first inter-collegiate boxing season. Jefferson Brown, featherweight champion has left a standard for all future featherweights to follow. Among the first to announce the call to spring football practice, we find the name of Bill Stovall. Everyone is happy out here in Hollywood. Far from the strife and dust of the marts of trade we bask in the tranquil calcium glare of the motion picture industry.

The Southern California interscholastic track meet was annexed by Hollywood High School, last Saturday at Santa Aana. The Movie City lads won with 25 1-2 points, also being closely pressed by Huntington eBach, last years' champions, who finished with 22 1-2 markers. It was in this meet, that the race lads played a great part. First honors should go to Archie Woodyard, of Jefferson High School, who was barely nosed out in the century by Smith of San Fernando for first place, and who captured the 220 yd. dash in the record equalling time of 22 1-5 seconds. This record was established by Paddock, when he attended Pasadena High School, in 1917. Smith was counted on by many to win the 220, but Woodyard stepped out and trimmed him in good fashion. Hurric of Pasadena, placed fifth in the 100 yd. dash, and ran a very fast lap in the relay, giving his team a lead. Whizcar, his team mate also ran a lap in the relay that was far from slow. Pasadena maintained the lead to the finish of the event, equalling their time of 1 min. 32 sec. made last week in the heats. Duncan ran the first lap in the relay for Lincoln finishing about fifth. Hurd who ran the second lap took the baton and dashed after the fast disappearing runners and overhauled all save one, by this pretty piece of speed work Lincoln finished second. Brothers of Manual by his fast lap, was responsible for his team placing third. All athletes taking third or better, are qualified to compete in the State meet which will be held at Occidental College, May 12. This meet will take in all of the high schools in the state, while the Southern California only took in those south of the Techachan Mts. Hollywood is favroed to repeat its tactics in this meet, if they succeed in doing so, they will have repeated Lincoln's stunt in 1921, when they won the city, Southern California and State meets. While all this excitement among track fans was going on out here, Oakland got third in the city meet, held, here last Saturday. Mitchell Walker, race man of Oakland High, won both the 100 and 220 yd. dashes, he negotiated the former in 10 sec. and the latter in 22 3-5 ec.

SON GOODRICH AND VIC ALEX-ANDER DRAW IN MAIN EVENT AT GARDEN Ted Frenchie Gets Decision Over Mack House Despite the handicap of weight, Sunny Goodrich, popular middleweight fought his way to a draw with Victor Alexander in the Main event at Madison Square Wednesday night. The first two rounds looked like Sunny's, and the third seemed to be his by a shade, but the judges disagreed, and the referee called the fray a dawr. Both boys fought hard, getting in telling blows, though Son was the faster, making Vic miss often. This fellow Goodrich has a terrific wallop, and it takes a mighty good man to stand up under those heavy body blows. The popular opinion was that the middleweight fighter deserved the decision. Mack House vs Ted Frenchie—This affair was another main event, with two of the best local battlers mixing it. The first two rounds were about even. In the next Ted made Mack miss some staggering blows; and Mack's with his quick work in the clinches and when Frenchie waded in, showed effect. But Mack seemed to weaken a little in the last frame, thereby giving Frenchie the decision, which was indeed very slight. They appeared to be in the best condition. Speedy, clever, Young Sam Langford got in an early lead over Lightning Davis, in the lightweight encounter. Davis was just a little slow getting started, but after the second round his in-fighting coupled with his speed, even matters. The fourth was fast and furious, with Davis fighting hard, but Sam managed to keep out of any serious danger. Davis earned his way to a draw. Ernie Owens got the verdict over Ernie Morton. Owens carries a terrible right, which he knows how to use. It told too, in the first round when he scored a knockdown over Eddie. But Morton was up again, only to meet some more heavy punching to the head and face. Eddie worked hard and fast too, and proved to be a very game man, he also got in many good blows over his opponent. Morton improves with each fight. He had a hard boy in Owens to beat, who won over Sailor Smith. Diamond Dick had a set-up in meeting the Boy. Sailor Pressly had the shade over One-Round Norman in the early rounds, but did not seem to have the necessary punch to put his man out. Norman worked well, and stayed the four with the sailor. Both men weakened in the last. Sailor Larry meets Ernie Owens in the main event next week, it was announced.

Do we realize our power? Are we developing our talent and gifts? Let every man and woman, every boy and girl ask himself this question: What am I doing to encourage and aid the talent that I find among my people and if I fail to do my share now what loss will be evident ten years from today? By John A. Gray. One of the many great advantages that the city schools offer here to the youths of the race is the orchestra. From the elementary schools up to the end o the high schools there are many opportunities for the boy and girl of the race to take part in them and to receive a wonderful training in orchestra routine. The value of this training cannot be appreciated by these youngsters until they have grown up. If we ever expect to have an orchestra here we must look to the school-trained players for the personnel. The association of many young minds with new and advanced ideas will produce results that are obtainable in noother way. Our boys and girls should be taught to love and appreciate the spiritual and frown upon the manner in which they are being rendered. This music is very serious and dignified and is often sung in a manner that provokes laughter. This is not only bad taste but is very detrimental to the future success of the music of our race. And the principal thought that must occupy the minds of our boys and girls is this: The development and perpetuation of Negro music is almost entirely dependent upon the Negro musician. Each student of music must contribute his little mite in the building up of one of the most virile and valuable forms of art, viz., The music of the Negro. The schools here are offering opportunity and instruction that cannot be understood. Boys and girls, you must grasp these opportunities. Yet our boys and girls do not take full advantage of these wonderful opportunities in the way they should. In fact they take little interest in any of their advantages. When they wake up it is too late. It will behoove our parents to encourage their boys and girls to study and grasp everything that comes their way. It will be too late when these opportunities are withdrawn. If we are recognized at all by other races it is certainly through music. Music and the Negro are synonomous and through music we are able to SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT BIGGERS' BUSINESS COLLEGE AN INSTITUTION OF MODERN METHODS Open Day and Night A 30 DAYS' SCHOLARSHIP SALE Special Terms to the First 25 Students Enrolling.

Social Intelligence Heard or Seen in Passing Page-Eight OWEN GETS GREA ON HIS ARRIVAL CHANDLER OWEN HONORED On Wednesday morning, May 2nd the Board of Directors of the Eastside Mothers Club gave an 11:00 o'clock breakfast complimentary to Mr. Chandler Owen, the brilliant and nationally known editor of the "Messenger," at the Eastside Mothers' Home, on East 22nd Street. The table was exquisitely decorated with Cecile Brunner roses, and covers were laid for about sixteen. A most tempting collation was served. Mrs. Eva Carter Buckner, on behalf of 55th street. $23 per month, water a splendid bouquet of flowers. In this gracefully phrased speech of acceptance, Mr. Owen expressed his appreciation for the courtesies extended him, and paid eloquent tribute to the Eastside Mothers Club, its personnel, and the splendid work it is doing in this community. Attorney W. O. Tyler, Mr. S. P. Johnson, of Conner-Johnson Company, Mr. T. A. Cole, and Editor J. B. Bass of the California Eagle, made brief remarks which were well received. Mrs. Edwards outlined, in a most concise and effective manner, the purpose and aims of the Club, of which she is President. Supplementary remarks were heard from Mesdames T. A. Cole and Morgan Robinson. Mrs. Minnie Davis was Chairman of the Committee on arrangements, and to the skilful management of that committee was due the unqualified success of one of the most delightful social affairs of the season. Mr. Owen is in the West on an extended lecture tour and will be in Los Angeles some days. He is to speak at Labor Temple Auditorium, Monday evening, May 7th, under the auspices of the Eastside Mothers Club. ENTERPRIISING BROADWAY MER CHANTS BID FOR OUR TRADE. For twenty-five years the Western Department Store (long known as the Western Shoe Store) has been preeminent among the shoe merchants of Los Angeles, in offering to the public high-class foot-wear at rock bottom prices. And such was the growth and popularity of the "Western" in this line of commercial endeavor that two years ago other lines of merchandise were added, in response to clamorous public demand, and the Western became a general dry goods store. A stranger arriving in Los Angeles now, after two years' absence, and visiting the old Western, would be amazed at the changes that time and progressive enterprise have wrought, in greatly enlarged quarters, a small army of clerks serve a responsive and satisfied public with high class goods at bargain prices. The Western has eight men in the Eastern market buying for the Los Angeles Public, and when the Hill Street tunnel is completed, this store looks forward with certainty to further expansion. The Western bids for the Colored trade. It advertises in this paper. Read and see for yourself, Mr. and Mrs. Buyer, that it pays to "patronize those who patronize us." NOTICE! Back in Business Again!

The bill allowing religious training for public school pupils was beaten in the Senate Tuesday. The bill was known as S. B. No. 417 and was introduced by Senator Dennett, which would allow children to be excused from the public schools two hours per week for religious instruction at their respective churches or other places designated for that purpose. The bill created a long debate and was finally defeated but will be brought up for reconsideration later. The Jones Committee through its investigations have discovered a new form of lobbying which is far more dangerous than the old form and must be carefully watched to save the state from Corporation domination as was several years ago.

POLITICAL POT PIE We have articles from several Political Clubs for this issue, however all of them reached us too late for publication. Lost Strayed or Stolen—Mr. Wood Wilson, king of the motor bus brigade and his assistants Mrs. E. Cassells and Col. C. H. Alston. The last report we had from them they were making a trip up Salt Creek. Of course it is gratifying to the Soaring Eagle to note the universal confidence in our stand on the Jitney and Motor Bus proposition as demonstrated by the people when they went to the Polls on last Tuesday. About all that was accomplished by some of the candidates for Council from among our group, was to create enough division to prevent anybody from being nominated at all. And probably that was their objective in the first place. Wallace G. Oaks made a splendid as well as a winning race for the City Council, and must be reckoned with in the finals. H. Z. Osborne, Jr. has no regrets, feels that he performed his highest duty and thanks his friends who stood by him so loyally. Mayor George Cryer proved a sensation in the primary, and he not only received the highest indorsement of the people, but appears on the horizon as a political force for any position in the gift of the people. The primary has taken all of the PEP out of the general election and it is surmised that the June election will be a tame affair. W. H. Sanders (Pop) is due to bring out his little red wagon and lead the victory parade. Say what you will the Citizens Civic League made good handling the Cryer Campaign. MME.
