OLD HOME TOWN HONORS EDITOR OF EAGLE On the occasion of our recent visit to Helena, Mont., from which place we came to California in 1911; the following clipping from the Enterprise of Seattle, Wash., gives the following account: The citizens of Helena turned out en mass Monday night to greet their former citizen, J. B. Bass, editor of the California Eagle. For several years Mr. Bass owned and managed the Plain Dealer of this city. This is his first visit here since going to California nearly twelve years ago. J. A. Calleander presided at the meeting, which was held in St. James A. M. E. Church, and opened with an instrumental solo by Mrs. M. A. Lowery, followed by an address on journalism by Rev. George S. Allen. Mr. Edward Miller, bass soloist, was accompanied by Mrs. Miller. Mrs. George M. Lee and Mrs. J. D. Hart, presidents of the Pleasant Hour and the M. B. T. Art Clubs, respectively, welcomed the distinguished visitor in behalf of the women of the city, Mrs. Hart presenting him a picture and journal of the State Federation. Following a solo rendered by Miss Elenora Anderson, accompanied by Mrs. Lowery, J. E. W. Clarke read a poem entitled, "Central Avenue," the Negro business street of Los Angeles. The chairman of the meeting then, in his usual inimitable manner, presented Mr. Bass, who held the gathering in rapt attention for one hour while he painted a glowing picture of the inviting possibilities of California. He tolm of the steady stream of Colored people daily arriving from the South and Oklahoma, of the religious, business, political, professional and civic life of the Negro in his state. He enlarged upon the agricultural possibilities and inducements awaiting producers to extract from the rich soil the product of nature to feed the millions in other ORED VOTES for Councilman honors than any other white candidate; (Can you believe it?) while men like WHEELER, SPARKS and MUSHET, who fought the KLAN and made it unlawful for them to appear disguised in public places, received little consideration from the Colored voters.

PATRON OF THE STATE OF BOSTON. 14TH SCHOTOL AUDITORIUM IS PACKED TO OVERFLOW Congressman Dyer, author of the famous Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which measure passed the House of Representatives but failed in the Senate and which bill the colored people along with all fair minded persons of the white race rae insisting must be passed a simple matter of justice and redemption of the Nation from the shame and disgrace of mob law. The distinguished Congressman was met at the Ambassador Hotel by officers of the N. A. A. C. P. At the corner of 8th and Central avenue, they halted and were snapped by the Eagle photographer, and were joined by an escort of honor, the uniformed rank of K. P.'s commanded by Captain Leo and headed by the Los Angeles Progressive Band. Arriving at the school house, escorted by president J. C. Banks, E. Burton Ceruti and a guard of honor, through open ranks the party entered the large auditorium which was packed and jammed to the utmost. Thousands were turned away. President Banks called the big meeting to order after an anthem by St. Phillips C. M. E. Church choir. Invocation was offered by Rev. S. M. Beane, pastor of the Hamilton M. E. Church. The audience then stood and sang "America." The president then turned the meeting over to Atty. W. O. Tyler to lift the collection, which amounted to $237.00. Prof. J. C. Banks then, in a brief but masterful, manner, introduced the distinguished statesman and humanitarian, who came forward and straightway waded into the address which pleased everybody who heard it. The speaker did not mince words but struck a responsive chord when he told his hearers where the fault lay in the failure of the United States Senate to pass the Dyer Bill. Republican Party General Johnson nad Shortridge Responsible He did not hesitate when he put the blame for the failure of the passage of the Dyer Bill upon the Republican party and included therein the senators from California, Johnson and Shortridge. Later on in his address for fear there might be a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of what he said, he reiterated his former statement and said, "You can tell the senators that I came here and said that they, Senators Johnson and Shortridge, were responsible for the defeat of the Dyer Bill." The Congressman admonished the preachers of the race to get right with GOD and get together for the uplift of the race. This sally brought forth tremendous applause. Told President Harding He related that before he left Washington he called on our president and in the course of conversation, the President told him that he was planning a trip through the country in behalf of International Justice. He said that he told the President that he wished him well, and he was also planning a trip but that his trip was to be in behalf of Justice for America. This brought forth thunderous applause.

Wheaton The Mark of the Beast We received a letter from a friend who lives in the State of Montana. He is a cattle raiser, and told us that a band of wolves payed havoc among the young of his herd this season. He has succeeded by the use of poison and strenuous hunting to kill off the most of the band, but not before they had caused him great loss financially. Those wolves were hungry; their destructiveness was not wanton; they killed and satisfied their hunger. They did not kill for sport, neither did they kill for hate. The color of the steer or calf was nothing to them; they killed for hunger. A pack of human wolves, not urged by the pangs of hunger, but by hate of color, and disregard of the law, descended on a black man, "who it is alleged" attempted to assault a young girl, who belongs to the race termed white, and without due process of law took his life. The El Paso Times, published in The Paso, Texas, has large head lines, stating that the Co-Eds of Columbia. The University of Missouri were among the number of women who cheered on the Lynchers. So much for the higher education in Missouri. The ranchman in Montana exterminated the band of wolves that killed for hunger. Will the Guardians of the Law, who represent the State of Missouri prosecute the human wolves who killed for lust of blood, and hate? —The Marathon Dancing Craze— Some young men and women have been acquiring records for dancing. That is to determine which could drag their weary legs around a hall the greatest number of hours without stopping. When it is over, what does it amount to? Have they contributed one thing to human development, or added one mite to the happiness of the world? Dancing as a recreation contributes to the enjoyment, but it is the apex of silliness to see a young woman half asleep, her feet dragging, and being groomed in public like a race horse, taxing her strength and stamina, for what? They say that the Japanese breed a species of mice with brain that is abnormally developed on one side. They term them dancing mice; they whirl around and around until they fall from exhaustion. We have not heard of any Negro Marathon Dancers. It must show that, at least, the brain of the Negro is normally balanced. It must be so, for they are going ahead building Hospitals, and other things that count in the world's development. The Negro brain shows things that count in the world's development. The Negro brain shows equipulse, and it counts, wonderfully, in the summing up of world events. —Why Did He Do It— Word came to us of an act of heroism, which being enacted far from the plaudits of the multitude, without the blare of bands or waving banners to herald it, standsout as one of the most sacrificing acts a human could make. There was nothing to prompt the deed. No fraternal ties; not even the bonds of a personal friendship. Yet one man deliberately sacrifices his arm to save the life of his working companion. The two men were digging a well. The one below would fill the heavy metal bucket with earth, and it would be drawn up by a crank by the man at the top. In drawing up the bucket something became wrong with the winding gear and the cable began to slip with the heavy laden bucket. If that bucket slipped there was no possible way for the man below to escape death, and there was no time to search for a bar or something to check the speed of the descending bucket. So in went his hand, the cable and cogs commence to move slowly, but they ate his hand then on up to the bow, and to the shoulder, before it could be stopped on its bloody journey. Thus they found him. His mangled arm flattened out and suffering pain, excruciated. There are impulses which impel men to deeds of self sacrifice. What are thy? CHANDLER OWEN THRILLS LOS ANGELES AUDIENCE NEGROES BEGIN TO THINK The long-heralded Lecture by Hon Chandler Owen, on "The New Solution of the Race Problem," at Labor Temple Auditorium on Monday night, May 7th, was the greatest intellectual treat our public has enjoyed for many a season. Chandler Owen is nationally known as the joint editor with Phillip Randolph, of the "Messenger," noted radical politico-economic Race magazine published in New York. Mr. Owen is unquestionably the Race's best-informed living authority on economic and sociological matters and addressed a night so ill which it will people at least and to even interpret. In the course of cited a number of his personal influence succeeded in having Unions in New York bership to Race w efforts some thou girl needle worker now receiving Uni on economic and sociological matters $70.00 per week. phrases Mr. Owen told his anxious audience that it is far better that these thousands of women-wage earners should thus have the doors of industrial and economic opportunity thrown open to them; than that one or two "big" Negroes should hold high-salaried jobs with high-sounding minds. its solution must economic lines. Mr. Owen declare the "nickel, under The Negro sho his sad lot in this said; conditions are, are far better countries whi He cured upon the fact that the industrial and political aspects of the Race problem should engage the attention of our people at this time, rather than the question of social equality. He proved, with brilliant, incontrovertible logic, that the race problem is fundamentally a matter of economics, rather than Color, and screened a picture termed "Bella Donna." The heroine makes love to swarthy Egyptian who treats her as all Oriental treat women subject to them. But the heroine seems to like it for she delights in the embrace of her Lord and is jealous if he is not attentive. But, and here comes the comic part, a fiery Southern gentleman? takes umbrella at the picture, and ventils the spleen on the producers as well at the actress. He terms them "Kikes" and says that they are subtle demoralizing the "Southern" youth by portraying a white woman in the arms of a man with a dark skin. Now! Don't that seem ridiculous? Just the other day—Down South—a prominent politician was found entwined in the arms of a comely woman with a dark skin, and don't the gentlemen from Texas remember, that not so long ago, some address on last Monday and sounded a distinctly new note, night so, probably take the Negro which it will score of years people at least another to even interpret. In the course of his talk, Mr. Owen cited a number of instances when by his personal influence and activity he succeeded in having certain powerful Unions in New York open their membership to Race workers; through his efforts some thousands of Colored girl needle workers in New York are now receiving Union wages of $55 to $70.00 per week. And in stirring its solution must be worked out along economic lines. In other words, as Mr. Owen declared, it is a question of the "nickel, under the foot." The Negro should cease bewailing his sad lot in this country, Mr. Owen said; conditions here, difficult as they are, are far better than in those other countries which are frequently referred to as havens of race refuge. The Negro must realise that he is forced to fight for whatever he gets, wherever he may be. There is no "problemless world" for him. And his fight can be more successfully waged in this country where his weapons, political power, and labor-power can be most effectively wielded. of the brainsest of the Southern women, when they were decrying the single standard of morality as practiced by Southern gentlemen? said, "That what was the sauce for the Goose, was sauce for the Gander," or words to that effect. We would not like to trace the footsteps of the Texas gentleman? if there was a screen put up on some prominent corner, and he was warned that his derivations with women of color, committed under the cover of darkness, would be thrown on that screen for the public to gaze at. We think that Texas would lose a prominent? citizen, and Honduras or some other hiding place gain a BLATHERSKITE. The Jews will go on producing motion pictures, and the frithing of the Texas fellow will eventually evaporate. SELAH.

Tomorrow is the big day with the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. It is the day upon which all members as well as Lodges, Households, etc., come forth in all their resplendent glory and in some public place of worship give thanks to the Grand Master of the Universe for the manifold blessings which they enjoy. With this precept as a guiding star, this great order has prospered as few Orders have, as evidenced by the progress which it has made, not only in numbers, but in tangible results attained along the line of erecting buildings, establishing Endowment benefits and etc. In appreciation the founders of the order put in practise the Thanksgiving Day which has become the biggest event by this great Order and at this same hour all over the world Thanksgiving service will be held on this and every second Sunday in May forever and forever. The Negro is the test of American Democracy. The situation might be worse—cheer up. You can't right a wrong even by slaughtering, it remains a wrong still. Those whom we see to be Christians without the knowledge of the prophecies and evidences, nevertheless judge of their religion as well as those who have their knowledge. They judge of it by the heart, as others judge of it by the intellect. As a rule the unrefined, illiterate, the stupid and uneducated are they who contribute to the crimes of this country. The intellectual and moral constitute the environments which lead a race up from the common walks of life. It is peculiar how the Southernners reason upon the peonage question and their belief that the Negro is not human. Not only do we find the low element that the Negro is inferior, but from the pulpit, in the school room and the judiciary comes the echoes of souls long dead with prejudice and race hate, attempting to oast its ghostly shadows upon a new problem affecting the social welfare of the human race.

If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened OLD FASHIONED MOTHER. By: E. W. Kyle A wise son maketh a glad father, but a foolish man despiseth his mother, says the proverbs. The very name of mother-sounds like what we know and hear of the old times, and her name has a good old-fashioned meaning. She lived so long ago that it is strange to have any record of her, and we were not surprised, either, for she was 'of the kind whose name and fame endure. There were some mothers in that olden time whom we do not at all admire, and so we do not address to this one simply because she lived a long time ago, nor do we wish to heap any reproach upon the mothers of today just because they lived in a later age. We are fond of speaking of "Old-time Religion," "Old-fashioned Mothers," and the "Old-Time Homes," because they stand for things which endure, because they are built upon a rock foundation, because from them have come people and characters which have stood the test of time and have proven worthy of confidence. You can look into those eyes, listen to that dear voice, and notice the feeling of even a touch that is bestowed upon you by that gentle hand. Make much of it while you have that most precious of all gifts, a loving mother. Read the unfathomable love of those eyes, the kind anxiety of that tone and look, however slight your pain. In after life you may have friends, fond, dear, kind friends—but never will you have again the inexpressible love and gentleness lavished upon you which none but a mother bestows. Years have passed since we laid her away beside our father in the cold church yard, yet her voice still whispers from the grave, and her eyes watch over us as we visit spots long since hallowed by her memory. Happy, successful "Old-Fashioned Mother!" Such faith, such sacrifice, such wisdom, such fidelity do not produce a race of sentimental weaklings, of grown-up babies, of untrustworthy men and women when great tasks are to be undertaken and great responsibilities are to be borne! She is not perfect, she makes mistakes in judgment and discipline, she is far from what she ought to be, from what she wants to be and continually strives to be, but because she is so genuine, because she makes no claim for herself, because she loves so and sacrifices so, and prays and works and trusts, we have nothing for her but admiration, sympathy and love and confidence. Amid the roar of mirth we hear only her voice; in the glitter of dissipation we feel her gentle hand upon our brow; in the midst of business when failure stares us in the face 'tis that soft voice dispelling the gloom and giving us courage to go forward. We wear in her honor the badge of a white flower, and pay tribute to the best of God's creatures, AN "OLD-FASHIONED. MOTHER"—Let her last days be bright and happy. Pay more attention to her that your days may be long upon the land the Lord God giveth thee. We hear the much oft talk of giving the people a religious training to conduct them on through a close avenue, where they can look straight before them to discry distant spiritual objects, while shut out from all the scenes right and left, by fences that tell them there is nothing that concerns them there. There may be rich and beautiful fields of knowledge, but they are not to be trampled by vulgar feet. All pleasure must be bought at the price of pain. The difference between false pleasure and true is just this: for the true, the price is paid before you enjoy it; for the false, after you enjoy it. How much we regret to see so generally abandoned to the weeds of vanity that fertile and vigorous space of life, in which might be planted the oaks and fruit trees of enlightened principle and virtuous habit, which, growing up, would yield to old age an enjoyment, a glory, and a shade. NEGRO MIGRATION. Negro migration is disturbing the South. The shortage of labor is disturbing both northern and southern employers. The South would stop Negroes from leaving. The northern employers would flood the country with immigrants. It is not to the point merely to call the immigration (so longed for by Judge Gary) "cheap labor." For while the average immigrant does have a lower standard than the American worker, black or white, at the same time, when the supply of labor becomes so excessive, all wages begin to come down. No one knows this better than Mr. Gary of the United States Steel Trust. And no more dangerous force could be operating for the repeal of the law limiting immigration than Judge Gary. He has great economic, political and social influence, and he is an untiring worker. Now is the time for Negroes to migrate from the South. They should become intrenched in every industry—so thoroughly intrenched that they cannot be so easily removed in future years. Negro migration helps the Negroes who migrate because they get better jobs where wages are higher, hours shorters, work more desirable, conditions more humane, civil rights more secure, plus political power." Their leaving also helps the Negroes behind because it holds out a constant threat to the Southern white employers. These white bourbons say: "We've got to treat the Negroes here better or they will all leave. Besides if we treat them bettr, the others who have gone may return." And this is quite true. Of course the Negroes are coming North for better economic opportunities. They are in search of higher wages. It is true Negroes would like to escape lynching, jim-crow cars, discrimination of all kinds, and general abuse and injustice. But they are not coming away for that Reason: For the last twenty-five years more Negroes have migrated from the North to the South than from the South to the North, until the war work attracted Southern Negroes to high wage fields. The reason is fundamentally economic. People don't live, as a rule, especially where they desire, but where they must—that is, where they can get work. This is as true of white as of Colored people. The Pilgrim Fathers came to America—not to worship God according to their consciences, but in order to chase gold. The white people of Europe will leave the culture and refinement and comforts of Paris, London or Berlin and go into the Klondike—uninviting and uncomfortable though it be generally—in order to amass wealth. Negroes who enjoy the best mixed, non-segregated schools of Boston, New York and Chicago, who have the right to vote, to go into the best theatres, hotels and places of public accommodation will pack up and go to Florida, the back door of Georgia, every winter—not because they like the place, but because they can secure work at good wages, or good returns in tips and wages. It is well that this migration should be thoroughly under and bacteria to the mouth and somestood. It is well that we should catch the economic significance of this movement of Negroes from Dixie. It makes little difference what any leaders, white or colored, northern or southern, may say—these Negroes are going to get to the high wage fields. And should the South at some future time develop to the industrial stage of demanding large numbers of workers who would be paid higher wages than the northern industries are paying, then Negroes and white people will migrate from the North to the South of these United States. A study of the situation, too, would probably reveal that the Southern whites are migrating, also. They are trying to get part of these 'nickels' which revived industry is offering. GIVE YOUR HANDS FASTIDIOUS CARE GIVE YOUR HANDS FASTIDIOUS CARE THE BOSTON EDITOR By Dr. E. B. Lewis, B. Sc. M. D. 1618 1-2 East 9th Street. Your hands act as first aid many times a day, for there are very few things that can be accomplished without the assistance of these helpful members. They should not only be servants, but an attraction and an additional feature of your charm. Next to the face, the hands are the most useful means of expression, even indicating at times the state of repose, agitation and excitement of the mind. Since the hands are so conspicuous and all important, they cannot be passed by with a careless washing and then pronounced "clean. Scrupulous attention always should be given to the hands, should they be carried by carriers of disease gerris. The hands must not only be kept clean, but every effort should be made to preserve the skin and keep it in a soft condition. If the hands are chapped or rough, cold cream massaged thoroughly into them at night is most beneficial. After the application of cream, dust the hands with a good talcum powder. This prevents the cream getting in contact with the bed linen and nightrobe. Bathing the hands in glycerine and rose water also is most helpful. Those who have lean, awkward hands can easily overcome this appearance, generally. Bath the hands in hot water and then rub them in cormeal and cottonseed oil, and keep them dry. The results of this treatment are surprising. Exercise of the fingers and muscles of the hands' also greatly assist in beautifying them. Blemishes, such as warts, very often may be removed by a lotion made of one dram of salicylic acid and flexible collodion, one ounce. Paint a little of this on the wart with a brush twice daily for two or three days. Then the wart should be soaked in water and scrubbed with pumice stone. This treatment may be continued until the warts disappear. If they are very small they may sometimes be removed just by keeping them dry and applying boric acid. The nails are the finishing touches of the hands. They protect the ends of the fingers, and give item a better grasp on objects. If they are brittle and break easily, there is some disorder in the general health which needs attention. Soaking the nails in hot water very often softens them. Then there is the other extreme of very soft nails which have a tendency to turn over. Very often applications of cocoa butter and castor oil is all that is necessary to toughen them. Fingers nails should be slightly curved from side to side, light pink in color, and the lunula or small white space at the base should be visible, and the entire nail smooth. They are then in a healthful perfect condition. Well manicured nails are the "beauty spots" of the hands. Dirt very often gets under the nail. Not only is this disgusting to see, but it also is a means of conveying germs times causing serious trouble. Every person ought to wash his hands and remove any deposits from under the nails before eating. Use soap and water and a nail brush to clean the nails. Never use the end of scissors or the blade of a penknife for this purpose. Cut the nails in a curve or file them away. An orangeweed stick is used to push back the outer skin which comes down over the root of the nail. If not often gently pushed back, this becomes torn and ragged, making openings in the skin which are excellent lodging places for infectious matter. Blood-poisoning has occurred from the infected hand, causing unpleasant odours. Insightly stains on the hands may be removed by a solution of acetic acid and rosewater, one part of the former to sixteen parts of the latter. It is always wise occasionally to visit a medical manicurist and to have the nails put in perfect condition. Then the individual can generally care for his nails and keep them in good condition for a long time. Dr. Lewis will answer questions for readers of this paper on medical, hygienic and sanitation subjects that are of general interest to the public. He cannot always undertake to prescribe or offer advice for individual cases. Where the subject is not of general interest, letters will be answered personally, if a stamped and addressed envelope is enclosed. Address all inquiries to Dr. E. B. Lewis, 1618 1-2 East 9th Street. THE BYSTANDER How it hurt Sunday to have a member of the other race, in the person of Congressman Dyer pay us a visit and try to arouse our spirits of lethargy and indulgence. Here was a bill introduced and sponsored by members of the opposite race, and particularly for our benefit, yet many of us had to wait until this Congressman left his post of duty, and traveled a few thousands of miles to bestr us, before we could be aroused to a sense of duty. We spoke of the shame of America, but here we have disgrace upon the Negro. The fact that some of us have been fortunate enough to escape the toils of mob law, and the cry of "lynch" precludes us from taking a retrospective view and giving a few serious moments of thought to the less fortunate. No one seemed better informed as to the strength and weakness of the race than Mr. Dyer. He had found that our biggest asset lay in church organization, and accordingly, stressed this point with unmined words. Our weak spot, as was pointed out, is utter disinterest through lack of proper organization and sensible investment. We like the crowd, noise, the road of least resistance and new self-satisfaction. Nothing new was told, nothing startling. The only surprise was the fact that Mr. Dyer was so ably informed of our status in life. We were glad that he came. We welcomed his message. The hope now is that these words coming from the source of many colored people's encyclopedia of belief, may cause less talk and more action. The N. A. A. C. P. to say the least, got some more subscriptions. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Atty. L, K. Beeks Office 822 Central Avene. The Same Thing. The Attorney General of this great state, in summing up his argument before the United States Supreme Court in Washington recently, stated in substance that if the Negro of the South had possessed the energy and alertness of the Japanese on the coast, the South would have been taken by Negroes. This is the supported bugaboo of the South, and it makes the Klan noisy and loud. Backward whites on the coast and in the Southland, straggle around and wait for malicious and crooked耻itation to hurt them into fortune and possession. The papers say that 2000 were infiltrated into Klasdom a few days ago. Let's counteract all of this scarecrow propaganda by blaring in our headlines, "Three or four thousands have joined the N. A. A. C. P." If the colored people had availed themselves of the, opportunity and casted about 20,000 or 30,000 votes at the primaries, instead of about 10,000 scattered ones, all things would have been added unto them by now. It would have been a signal of awaken- Office Phone, South 7602-J; Res South, 3106-J .1521 1-2 Central Avenue ing and the town - would have been aglow.

Not a lawyer's shingle, not one of those distressing shingles that the learned medicos call "herpes zoster," and not any old shingle. He wants the oldest sawn shingle in California. When he gets to he will place it in General de Young's Park Museum. With the assistance of Frank L. Mulgrew, Peter B. Kynne and others, Gus saved the shingle at the last election when the State Housing Act which would have made the shingle an outlaw, was chopped into kindling wood by the intelligent voters. So Gus proposes to honor the shingle. The shingle, says Gus stands for something significant in California. The first roofs built by the Argonauts were of shakes, thin split boards made by driving a wedge through a log. Many examples of shake roofs may still be found in the mountains of California. Shakes were always made on the premises. Sawn shingles did not appear until a more permanent civilization came, so sawn shingles mark the beginning of community life in California. Sawn shingles were tangible evidence that the rough, shifting social base of pioneer times had become stabilized. Hence Gus Russell's interest in the oldest shingle to be found in California was the latest volume issued by the California Historical society contains The Chronicles of George C. Yount. Yount was a pioneer of 1826. Under date of 1833—mind you, we are speaking of California—I find this entry: "From Benicia Yount proceeded to Petaluma, and the Missions of San Rafael and Sonoma. The padre of the two missions, recognizing his all around frontier ingenuity, hired him to make some needed repairs on the buildings. Mrs Watson says that Yount was the first person to make shingles in Ala. California." And we are referred to a manuscript in the Bancorp library which contains the following: "I made arrangements with Geo. Yount to manufacture shingles to shingle Valleys' house in Sonoma. "The shingles had to be made in the most primitive manner as we had no machinery. The tree was followed, barked, cross cut off in blocks of 18 inches long, then split and shaved. With all these difficulties Yount and myself used to make about 100 shingles a day each, and I have seen men make as many as 1500. Those shingles we made were the first that had been seen in the country." Gas Russell is offering a prize for the oldest shingle. Somebody in or about Sonoma ought to make an ef fort to win it. DELAYED NEWS States in Class C (asked to raise $600.): Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska New Hampshire, New Mexico, South Carolina, North Carolina, Utah, Wisconsin, Wyoming. States Class Amount 11 A $55,000.00 14 B 42,000.00 13 C 6.500.00 Total Amount $103,500.00 We all know how our A. M. E. bethren raise their Dollar Money, the briands they make by acting to together. To aid our bethren to make the task easy, we are urging that each pastor appoint a National Baptist Convention Committee of three in his church, who will be a member for ONE DOLLAR for the National Baptist Convention work and that the 5th Sunday in July, the 29th be set apart as our ALL TOGETHER DAY. On the day no pastor is to fill his own pulpit, but exchange, with a brother minister in or out of his state and on third of the amount pledged by our church, be raised; the second to be raised and reported at the National Baptist Convention in Los Angeles, September 5th, and the last third be raised on the 1st Sunday in December By these plans, your church, the Baptists of your state and our national workers can all do their part to the glory of God, to the help of His cause in the earth and the expanding of the Christian character of manhood and womanhood in all our churches. Having served my brethren in a public way for twenty-seven years and knowing my brethren as I do and thinking of the great death toll during the past seven months of our ministerial comrades, I believe a deep consciousness has come over us who remain to come nearer God in our efforts to fulfill our task of the world's work. This appeal is made to: "Owe No Man" by freeing our National Baptist Convention of debt, that it may enlarge its influence for good; unite the hands of our Boards that they may do better work in the fields we have assigned them and build our Publishing House that it may enlighten the masses by flooding the country with religious literature. In the hope of united prayer and effort, till the task is done, I am. Yours in His service. L. G. JORDAN. MARIA MAYER SUNBEAN BEAUTY SHOPPE 1511 West Jefferson Street Lottie Johnson, Prop.

Patterson, representing the Comobabl Consolidated Mine Company, was a visitor at the Eagle offices this week. He is in Los Angeles for a brief vacation. Mr. Patterson, in company with Mr. W. T. Allen, Treasurer of the Company, left six months ago for Tucson, Arizona, to assist Mr. G. W. Miller, President of the firm, to put into shape an independent property to sell. The mining man's report is that developments are progressing beyond the most optimistic expectations. During the period spent by Mr. Patterson in Arizona, a vein of ore has been opened up, 20 feet wide, averaging $116.00 to the ton. They have several other claims, upon which they are working, and which it is proposed to develop to a greater extent before placing the same upon the market. At the time Mr. Patterson left Arizona last week, the workmen were just entering a large quartz porphyry vein, that showed every indication of carrying rich gold values. This vein is twenty-five feet in width, and it can be traced for miles across the country on the surface. The Company had planned to show this property up within sixty days, that on account of damage in operations, it will take some 50 days longer. Mr. Patterson will be in Los Angeles about ten days, before returning to the basis of operations. PROMINENT BAPTIST CLERGYMAN A VISITOR Dr. B. F. Abner, A. M. and Ph. D. of Oakland is at present in Los Angeles, in the interests of the National Baptist Convention, which is to convene here next September Dr. Abner expressed himself as looking forward to a most inspiring gathering of Baptists from forty-eight states. Dr. Abner arrived on Saturday, May 12, and is the house guest of Dr. Mahon C. Cooley, of East 12th Street. He will shortly return to his home in Oakland. The Popularity Choir Director's contest given at Phillips Chapel, C. M. E. Church last Tuesday evening by Mrs. H. E. Norwood was a huge success. Three choirs were represented. The Christian Church Choir, with Mrs. Brandon as director could not be present, but they sent in a donation which was greatly appreciated. St. Paul Choir with Prof. Pitts as director, rendered two beautiful numbers which were graciously received. Metropolitan Choir with Mme. Outley as director rendered two beautiful numbers which also defended great applause. The first prize, a director's gold pin was won by Metropolitan Choir. The second prize a $5.00 gold piece was won by St. Paul Choir. Both Choirs sang beautifully. Aside from the Choir contest an enjoyable program was rendered. Eevery one went away highly pleased with the entertainment. Too much praise cannot be given Mrs. Norwood for this wonderful effort which was both entertaining and very successful financially.

In a wild race down Central Ave. last Sunday night, in which three automobiles took part, Isadore Solomon was struck by one of them just after he had alighted from a Central Ave. ar and struck with such force that he was hurled from 39th St. to 38th St., and killed instantly. It is said that the racing autopilot kept right on without investigating or stopping in any way whatever. Officers Kimbrough and Broady Make Arrests With a meager description of these racing automobile drivers, Lieutenant of Police Broady and Kimbrough founded up and arrested O. B. Bagley, driver and O. J. H. Mack of the death machine. At the Coroner's inquest on Thursday these two men were designated as the slayers of Solomon and they are now in limbo accused with manseaughter and must go to trial on that charge.

Migration of Negro Labor The migration of Negro labor from the Southern States continues, and it is causing untold losses to the firms and plantations of those sections. White the fate of higher wages is one of the reasons for this exodus; it is not the primary one. That is, if we are to judge it by the stories told by the men and women who have, virtually, left most of their earthly possessions behind them in the flight from terrorism. We have been told that since the exposure of the cruelties of peonage the lower and criminal classes of the white population have entered on an organized system of terrorism, unbearable. It has been stated—and the statement seems to be borne out by the confession of the Florida Ex-Jailer, who testified to the bestiality of the county officials—that there is no means of redress because the officers of most of the counties are of the lower strata of society. It being almost an impossibility to elect decent white men to such positions as sheriff and other county offices. Many of the men and women who have fled the South, naturally, prefer that section. To many it holds memories that are dear to all, but as one man remarked, "I hated to leave! My parents and my wife are buried there, but when I looked at my growing daughters and realized under what handicaps they would grow into a decent womanhood, I decided to seek other fields." It is up to the decent white people of the South to take up once again duties which they laid aside, and were insured by Tillman, Blease, Williams, Harrison, Vardaman, and that ilk who with cacophonous voices have risen to political power through exploitation of the Negro. Give the South decent officers for law enforcement, and the labor movement will cease. Pride:The Right Kind We listened, recently, to a member of the, United States Congress who addressed an audience composed mostly of Colored people. He spoke under duoplices of a nationally famed organisation, and in behalf of an equally nationally famed measure. It was a lucid address, replete with the recital of brutalities which should cause self respecting America to blush with shame. The speaker showed a knowledge of the racial traits of his audience enough to cause one to wonder if they had obeyed the injunction, "Men know thyself." It was during that portion of his address which related to the apathy shown when the Association was in dire distress for means to carry on its war for humanity, that he mentioned that a white woman who was interested in the fight for justice, gave a check for ten thousand (910,000) dollars. The audience applauded. We bowed our heads in shame: Twelve million Negroes in the estimate of the population of the United States. Ten thousand dollars is needed to carry on a cause that would aim to put a stop to the brutality against the Race by mobs. Is it possible that among that twelve million there was not ten thousand Negroes with enough race pride to pay one dollar each to "Carry On?" There is pride and there is Pride. No end can be gained without effort. One puts it that "The road to heaven is to do something with all your might, the road to hell is to do nothing persistently." If we would put an end to the evils which we now, through injustice, endure we must have enough PRIDE to do for ourselves. The Florida Legislature has passed the bills prohibiting the whipping of Peon prisoners in the convict camps. The death of a white boy was necessary to awake the good people from theirpathy. Awake them to the knowledge that their beautiful State was being pointed out as a specimen of ignorant brutality meriting the scorn of civilization. The Federal Court of the same State, (Florida) has indicted, the former sheriff of Leon county, J. R. Jones. The whipping boss in the convict camp of the Putnam Lumber Co. Walter Higgenbotham, and the Superintendent of the camp, Fisher. They were indicted on charges growing out of the legislative probe into the death of an aged Negro, Ned Thompson by name, who it is alleged, died as the result of brutal treatment while in the Putnam camp. If the Federal court will adequately punish them if convicted we will begin to believe that at last, "The dawn is breaking." Sponsored by Wm. Jennings Bryan, the Florida legislature has before it a resolution banning the teaching of Darwinism in the public institutions of the state. The Apostle of sixteen to one has been "up in the air" ever since some one had the temerity to suggest that man was descendant of the anthropoid ape or some of the monkey species. The great Commoner could not see it that way. We wonder if he ever gave a thought to the dastardly crimes which have been unearthed by the recent exposures. We suggest not. Even pious hypocrylic oftimes takes on a different complexion with its environs. Why The Attitude? One would think that when a people have fled from surroundings which had become unbearable; and were acquainted, first hand, with persecution and prescriptions; Yes, one would think that those people would be overly anxious to assist in any movement which could ameliorate the condition of those whom they left behind. But the hardest task that one can take, and be successful, is to seek to convince the person who has but recently arrived from one of the Southern states that it is a dire necessity that he or she join the ranks of forward thinking groups in the fight for better conditions for the Negro in these sections. It is a tank to get them to contribute their money or to give their moral support. Having escaped from thralldom they have no need for the ones who remain. This is not as it should be. Let us think it over, and join heartily in the movement for racial uplift. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May, Never Know It Happened A. O.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Umpire Negro National League. By William Narcise The Declamation Contest was, won by Miss Ethelwyn Hunter of Pasadena High School. Before a full house a the A. M. E. Church last Friday night ten representatives of the various high schools declaimed for all they were worth, in an effort to win for his school the beautiful loving cup and a gold medal for himself. The school winning this cup three consecutive years keeps it permanently So far, no one school has won it more than once. Mr. Clarence Brothers of Manual Arts High School, was second, and was awarded a silver medal Other speakers who deserved honorable mention, were: Miss Viola Baucom, of Lincoln High School and Miss Edna Johnson, of Jefferson High School. Previous winners of this contest were: Mr. Wilialyn Stovall, Hollywood High School, 1920; Miss Mildreed Washington, Los Angeles High School 1921; Miss Marjorie Bright, Polytechnic High School, 1922; and Miss Eth elwyn Hunter, Pasadena High School 1923. Miss Benniemal Pryor, student at Lincoln High School, again received four ones in solids. Miss Pryor has been in the Alpha Society (a scholarship organization) for four terms. Miss Mildred Boyd who just entered Lincoln this term has received three ones in solids, missings the Alpha Society by one I. Misses Pryor and Boyd are to be commended on their high scholarship standing. In the Long Beach Jefferson baseball game, last Friday, Jimmy Sims, Long Beach second baseman, played the game of his young life. He was the first man up for the Eastsiders, and he clouted the ball over the fence, he repeated this stunt a couple of times. In addition to his heavy hitting, he played faultless ball at the second sack. Hollywood won the State Meet Saturday, in one of the greatest and hottest contested prep meets, that was ever held in Los Angeles, with 17 1-2 points; closely followed by Sacramento with 15 markers. Archie Woodyard, Jeff's speed marvel, surprised a good many fans, by placing third in the 220 yd. dash, and his failure to place in the century. He was beaten in the 220 by Lee of Franklin, who won the event( and Smith of San Fernando. Woodyard was, without a doubt, off of his game, while Old Dame Fortune favored the winners greatly. Hurlic and Whlizard of Pasadena, ran true to form in the relay, which Pasadena won by yards. They now have the opportunity, for which so many athletes yearn, and that is, a sure trip to Chicago for the National Inter-Seholastic track meet. May 25 and 26. These lads deserve a lot of credit for their excellent achievements. ALPHA PHI ALPHA NOTES The Alpha Delta Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity concluded its Educational Campaign on last Sunday, May 13, with two well attended meetings. On the afternoon of the above date the Chapter entertained a large gathering of High School and College students with an Educational Fete at the Parish Hall of the Episcopal Church. Nearly every High School in Los Angeles was represented, as well as U. S. C. and S. B. U. C. Pep was plentiful and the various High School and College yells demonstrated an enthusiasm that was gratifying to the onlookers. This coupled with the brilliant address by Dr. Stoner, executive secretary of U. S. C. and the splendid program, contributed to make the affair quite the most unique and enjoyable event witnessed in the city for many moons. Sumptuous—refreshments—were served in banquet style. The many young people seated around the beautifully decorated tables, presented a picture vivid with the spirit of youth, and glowing with the vitality of our youth of today from whence will come our leaders of tomorrow. Beside the addresses of the afternoon the program consisted of the following numbers: Remarks, by the President of Alpha Delta Chapter, M. James McGregor; Cornet Solo, Mr. William Prince, accompanied by Mr. Henry Prince; Piano Solo, Miss Marion Carter; Selection by the Crown City Quartette; Messrs.

An individual is then capable of pursuing successfully any specialized training for useful en- deavor. ‘There is felt in the business-worl today an increasing need for educated men and women. Training along. one Ine is not sufficient in business to meet the demands of our complex so- ciety. Colleges and business schools and institutions realize this and are adopting ptograms of general know- ledge in connection with the regular work in business theory and practice. It is with the hope of inspiring boys and girls, men and women to ac- quire through the high school and unt- versity and the library, and through contact with the study of their fellow. men, a broad education as the ade- quate preparation for a business ca- reer that this article is written. The prerequisites of a liberal edu- cation call for a knowledge of many subjects, which include science—na- tural, exact, and social; bistory—an- cient, medieval and modern; modern languages; literature; and commerce. Students the world over have pon- dered over difficult, mathematical problems and have been made to think. Attention to the details in- volved In the study of chemistry, phys- ics, and biology, as well as other kindred subjects, shows the import- ance of small things, the value of Te- search work, and the training derived therefrom. Of the social sciences may be mentioned ethics, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. A careful study and application of the principles of these will prove invaluable in bus- iness activity. Executives include in their advance studies, the study of men, in order that they may the bet: ter understand them as_ individuals and groups, and,use this knowledge in the expanding of their commercial in- stitutions. . In the study of history we are able to ascertain the forces which, in other days, actuated men. The continual march of events demands the atten: tion of every wide-awake man and wo- man in business, because they must be able to see clearly ahead and sc adjust their programs and work not only for individual aims, but , for “greatest good to'the greatest nuim- ber.” A knowledge of at least modern for. eign languages is necessary in bust neess. One should learn thoroughly and speak fluently not only his mother tongue, but the language of the people on whom he depends for trade ané business relations. Froeign heads of businesses are constantly consulted and ofttimes the most fatimate busi ness relations result, which demand mutual understanding. Every day we note the rapid ad vancement in industry and commerce | New methods are employed, Conse - quently, many things are accom plishe¢ in a very limited amount of time | Commercial, ‘and international las ’ ghould be studied if the prospectivi business man would be successful, Aspirations, and suffering of th | many peoples of the earth in all age - are made known in literature.

Some one has sald that order‘is the first law of heaven. Through years of training and ac- quisition of general knowledge order has become habitual with those en- tering business. It 1s the manager, and worker who is systematical who orderly in his business activities who evokes the respect fo his associates, and makes a lasting impression on clients. A glance at a man's desk may reveal the kind of business man he is. Another trait displayed in diserim- ination, the selection of what is good from the bad, the ability to recognize the honest.from the dishonest man. ‘This careful and correct selection of- ten means smooth business opera- tions, and permanent service to the worthy. Broadly educated men and women tn business are big enough to, know thdt “no man liveth to himself.” They come in contact with others in the office or shops, \in other business es- tablishments, and appreciate what they learn fronm| the everyday exper- fences, and the| advice given. They do not imitate @lrectly, but assemble the wealth of information, and then make their own conclusions. Such gratitude and appreciation make nob- le lives in the world of business. Imagination or more emphatically, vision, 1s ap asset td any business man or woman, By means of this quality, he is able to see far beyond Present conditions, sometimes dis- turbing and even discouraging and be- hold the ght of a brighter day. There are many things of merit that one with a liberal education and business ability can give for the suc- cess of business enterprise. - This in part, we have endeavored to show through the application of education to business. Efficiency in business is of paramount importance; and it is the efficient and liberally-trained whom we may depend-on. it is the same today as when Victor Hugo said: “He who every, morning plans the transaction of the day and fol- lows out that plan carries a. thread that will guide him through tha-lab- yrinth of the most busy life. ‘The or- derly arrangement of his time is like a ray of light which darts itself thru all his occupations. But where no plan is Inid, where the disposal of time is surrounded merely to the chance of incidents, chaos will soon reign. 4 A In attempting to.interpret the mean- ing of service, we have only te refer - to those who have been instrumental in building up the tremendous bus! ness institutions of which we are proud, and without which we would be hampered greatly in obtaining the / mecessaries of Ife, It is the willing ties to be of service to fellow-men ‘and aid in'the promotion of the public | welfare.

Gray This coming week is music week and all energies will be directed toward the exposition of the beautiful and good in music. There will be over a thousand musical events in this city during the week. There will be recitals and concerts, community sings and plays, and many various forms of musical endeavors. The week starts Saturday with a big parade at night in the downtown section and in which the colored people have been asked to participate. Sunday will be music Sunday. In the afternoon, at the Bowl in Hollywood, there will be a tremendous Community Sing and the race has been asked to contribute a chorus of 500 voices on the program. There will be music everywhere and why? Because the American people are beginning to realize that music is one of the greatest factors in the development of character and good citizenship that they can draw upon. That the refining and enobling influence of music is spreading throughout the country and that the American man is beginning to realize that it is as manly to follow music and the allied arts as it is to engage in any sort of legitimate business. community through having the opportunities and advantages of contact with the world's best as teachers and performers. These advantages are not being grasped in the way they should by our people, but we hope that with the coming season the number of serious students will be increased and the audiences at concerts and rituals will give evidence of the presence of a large number of race people. We earnestly urge that every person in the city will make an effort to hear some kind of music during the coming week and that he or she will pledge support of some racial form of musical endeavor during the year. For after all, the gift of music was given the Negro in greater quantities than any other gift, and he should must and will develop it.

Bilbrew, Directress. wonderful the past year and much good is expected of it in the future along the lines of elevating the minds of our people as well as other races to the real worth and appreciation of good church music. The unusual feature of our choir is the beautiful spirit of brotherhood that exists as one family. We have not been successful in charming those of our own race alone with our work; but the demand from other races and other denominations is so great that we are compelled to refuse calls for Sunday nights especially, that we may worship at home. We do not confine our efforts to singing alone but we are self-supporting and not only that but we find so many ways that we can assist the general church. In our "Out of Debt Rally" we gave over $2,500 and on our recent repair program we paid $600.00. And we intend to give $1000.00 in the again free Rally by Sept. this year. We realize that with music the life of any institution is kept up. No Pastor can serve without it. No church can succeed without it. And we find among the large churches of the city, (and near by towns) the demand for a sacred program not of folk songs alone, (while there is nothing dearer or nothing could possess more rich harmony) yet the appeals come as great when the work of the Master is used as when the folk songs. Again I say this is a wonderful organization. With our sweet toned organ and our very efficient organist Mrs. H. W. Markham to support us, not only with the very excellent selection that she thrills our souls with from time to time but with her sweet spirit of unselfish sacrifice. We have an organization that any director would be profoundly gratified for one that would add to the dignity of any church. Let music charm me last on earth, and greet me first in Heaven. Edited by JOHN A. GRAY THE CHORAL SCHOOL THE BRIDGETOWER TRIO PEOPLES INDEPENDENT CHURCH CHOIR PREEMINENT AMONG LOCAL MUSICAL ORGANIZATION. The Choir of the People's Independent Church of Christ had its beginning on Sunday, October 10, 1915. On that day the church held its first public services in the Odd Fellows Hall, Eighth and Wall Streets, and a call was issued for voluntary singers, to furnish music for the occasion. About seventeen persons came forward and from this beginning, and out of this hand full of volunteers, many of whom had never had any experience in choir work, our present splendid choral organization has been developed, during the short period of seven years. Our first pianist was Mrs. Gerrtund-Brown. Having no church home, the rehearsals were held in the homes of well disposed members without the Graduate Teacher Chicago Musical College services of a director. Finally, the aid of Miss Maude Rosemond was secured as pianist and director and the real and worthwhile work of the organization began, in earnest. She was succeeded by Mrs. C. J. Smith, at the piano and Rev. N. P. Greggs, took charge as director. He has served in that capacity many times since, in the absence of a regular director. Our present pianist is Mrs. Fannie Wilson Benjamin, a product of the Wilkins Piano Academy and a student at U. S. C. She is assisted by Miss Lucile Banton, who is also a product of the Wilkins Piano Academy. Prof. Thomas Johnson, the peer of directors, is directing their musical work and study. The choir, although, one of the youngest in the city, has developed into a formidable contender for leadership. It has a membership of sixty-five.

Through the never tiring and faithful support of our church membership and under the leadership of our Director, accompanied by our Pianist, and the spiritual guidance of our beloved Pastor, Rev. N. P. Greggs, we are aspiring to great things, spiritually and musically, in the future. The Sunday morning service was of the regular enthusiastic nature. The members are apparently receiving great blessings. It is indeed a spiritual pleasure to worship at Independent. CLAUD V. PITTS VOCAL INSTRUCTOR Pupil of Prof. Manuel Sanchez De Lara—Director, De Lara Grand Opera. STUDIO: 1242 St. Mariquita Ave. PHONE: West 3650 THE VIOLIN History The Violin is a flift to the world from the darker race, and it was in India, that the art of inciting vibration of strings, by means of a bow, was first discovered, and our present day violin had its origin in Ceylon. The first violin was invented by a Ceylon King, (name unknown) who reigned 5000 B. C. This original instrument is now held as a relic, in the National Museum, at Leipzig, Germany. Shortly before the Mohammedan invasion, a rude example of this original was brought to Arabia, and then on to Europe after the crushers. Still later the primitive instrument was recovered and brought into Germany, where it is today. Qualifications With the essence of time and education, it has developed from a onestring instrument, into our present-day violin, the Cremona, heading the list in valuation. Stradivarius, second; Amatt, third and Guarnerious, fourth. This valuation nad rareness is decided by three qualifications: Quality of wood; seasoning of wood; skill in shape and contour. These three qualities combined in the most artistic and scientific manner, best suited for richness of tone production, is what gives to us a rare and valuable violin. Technical Scope Violin is considered the most perfect of musical instruments; first, because of its capabilities of rich tone and expression; second, because of its unlimited technical resources, resulting from the fact that. ALL the tones fo any scale can be accurately produced, in perfect intonation, adding to this, every intermediate semitone, in a compass of four and one half octaves, and this compass may be indefinitely extended higher and higher by touching the strings lightly, namely, what is known as Harmonics. These astounding accomplishments rest entirely with the skill of the player. The greatest means of cultivating an ear for melody, both in player and hearer, is a violin. For this reason violin was selected to head and to exclusively lead All orchestral music, by Cultivation of Voice By Mayme Wiley Lowe The acquisition of the art of singing ought to go hand in hand with the other branches of education, for it is a most important aid to culture, and singing has a peculiar power of prifying and elevating he mind. All representations of Heavenly bliss refer largely to singing and music. Rochlitz, the founder of musical criticism, thought that music must be the proper language of Heaven as common to all. It was music that first mightly stirred the souls of men. The most important point in the art of singing is correct breathing, the student must above all clearly distinguish between superficial and deep breathing, and avoid the former, excepting the occasional use of the natural light breath, which requires no especial study for its acquisition. In relation to the human voice, nearly all the musical knowledge is obtained through the cultivation of the ear. It is so much an ear process that little heed is given. It is interesting to find that the cause of the phenomenon of voice is the little vowel, which is the essence of every word. This vowel, together with a puff of air, is the only means of bringing the delicate vocal bands together, and holding them approximated long enough to sustain either a spoken or singing tone. Monteverde, and it is an acknowledged fact that there is no greater cultivation for ear and melody than orchestral research and practice. Spiritual Resources. From the most earliest time, string instruments have been the favorites for soul touching music, and the violin offers the widest scope of all string instruments to truly express the player's soul and inspiration, because of its unlimited octave heights and tone qualities. All the vast richness of sense citation, all the definiteness of expression, all the magic of tone key, all are yours with a violin, combined with endless sources of the human imagination. In fact, combining all violin is a noble instrument. A gift of God. An art of God, and therefore it is true expression of the soul. Result Through the medium of a violin, if the players' soul be one of character, tenderness, sentiment, truth and love, combined with the vital quality of intelligence and patience that is required to acquire and fully possess the technical knowledge of this intricate instrument, he or she will produce music, full of virtuous expression, that will set the souls of humans in unison and communion with the souls of the spirits of Heaven.

There is going to be a reckoning day in this man's town at no far distant date. And it will be truly a fact which Congressman Dyer shouted, when he said some of the ministers must get right with God. Take the ministry as a whole of Los Angeles, it's all right, but there are some who as it were, stand in high places and have an exalted opinion of themselves, who are about as small as it is possible for them to be. They not only fail to function in progressive movements but stoop to some of the lowest levels to stifle meritorious efforts which are often put forth at a sacrifice by forces which have made it possible for this same ministry to occupy the position which they MIS-REPRESENT in this bailiwick. We are wise to every sneaking move of this species and while we are not posing as a prophet, but we are going to venture the assertion that it is no far distant date when this gentry will be seen reaching for their hats. The Negro Press of the country mourns the passing-of that energetic, eloquent, fearless advocate and late owner and editor of the Kansas City Sun—Nelson Crews. His life was one of action and his voice rang out at all times for and on behalf of justice for his race. Peace be to his ashes. John Mitchel, veteran journalist, leading financier and business man has the sympathy of the craft and people generally in the trials through which he is now passing. There are very few but who have the utmost confidence in his integrity and believe him to be the victim of purely untoward circumstanees and hope that the higher courts to which he has appealed will right the wrongs and give him an ultimate vindication. THE HIT DOG HOWLS. Te American Civil Liberties Union of New York has pointed out that two-thirds of the tarrings and featherings and about one-half of the lynchings for last year were those of the white race. This is a hopeful sign. What do we mean by such a statement? This: so long as only Negroes were lynched the whites were indifferent, but now that someone else's ox is gored, the whites are beginning to wake up. For instance, labor has been very cold to pleas of the lynched Negro group. It has been difficult to get organized labor to take a public position. It even turned down a resolution denouncing the Ku Klux Klan at the American Federation of Labor Convention last year. But just so soon as McGregor, a white railroad worker in Harrison, Arkansas, was lynched, Mr. Gompers and the American Federation of Labor started out to raise three million dollars to suppress lynching. The same is true of the Jews and Irish Catholics. So long as the Ku Klux Klan carried on depredations against the Negro only, just so long were both silent. But so soon as a few Catholics were flogged and some Jews lashed, both got busy to wipe out the Kluxers. It is fortunate that no group in society may continue to suf- If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened fer from any malady which will not eventually strike the other groups. Crime germs, like disease germs, know no race, creed, color, or state lines. The tubercular Negro today will leave a tubercular white man beside him tomorrow. The thief who robs the poor Negro will hold up the white man ere long. The South disfranchised the Negro and it was also the last section to grant political rights to white women. It kept the Negro in ignorance by segregation and discrimination, but the white children of the South also suffered and paid. A double school system is too expensive, so the school fund was divided, the whites getting the lion's share, but both white and black getting too little! The result is that the Negroes in every northern state, where the schools are mixed, have less illiteracy than the whites in most of the Southern states. To keep the Negro down the South has stayed in the ditch. Its short-sightedness has cost cost it a taste of civilization. It lags behind, were it tries to keep the Negro. It is suffering from its own folly by which it has been struck. Like a hit dog it howls, and it must continue to be hit and to howl until it removes the stone which is striking. BE NATURAL One of the little habits that's be coming very serious and tends to ruin many of our young girls, is the use of too much paint and powder on their faces. It makes one look ridiculous and causes the public to mis judge many of them who are just trying to keep up with the style. Every time we buy preparations concocted from lye, vitriol, and other caustic acids, for the purpose of bleaching and disfiguring our natural complexion, it is a tacit admission by us of what the white man has had in his head for years; that the Negro is inferior because he, himself, is ashamed of his color; and every time we purchase ox-marrow, glue and other sticky substances, for the purpose of making our hair straight, we doubly affirm the contention of our inferior lye; that our illusion, futile use of face bleaching, acids and glued abomination for purpose of plastering down our hair, is leading us daily from all semblance of racial pride; and racial pride is the very foundation of race's success. When you go out upon the street be very careful how you dress. Be modest and quit showing off on the streets and the street cars. Quit painting your face so red. You may hear what others say about you. Be natural, that is what counts in life. The imprisonment of Editor John Mitchell, Jr., the veteran Editor of the Richmond Planet, is one of the most regrettable incidents that we have recently encountered. In the last Presidential election, it was Hon. Mitchell who ran up the Republican ticket for Governor of Virginia. From that time he has been marked by a few race haters and enemies among our own group that has caused this condition to come in the life of one of the best prepared men of the rceae—one who has met the torch and the mob and has stood out against the wrongs and inhuman treatment of the Black Man in America. We do trust he may be able to clear himself of all accusations and be restored to the confidence of the people he has learned to love. News comes that the city of Denver has gone)Democratic in the selection of Hon. Ben Stapleton as Mayor to succeed Mayor Baily. Under the present Mayor, the race received many good positions in the City Hall and County Court House, as Clerks and stenographers. We will keep on the same high standard and belief in the fitness of our people to serve in responsible positions instead of giving them a few janitor jobs. DELAYED NEWS Jack Johnson was awarded the decision in his first fight with Farmer Lodge on May 6. It was declared that Johnson fouled Farmer, but this action was final. BLACKIE RICÉ GETS DRAW AT COMBTON Blackie Rice and Lightning Davis both got a draw verdict in the bouts at Compton last Wednesday night. Ted Lewis outweighed Davis several pounds. Blackie was forced to use only one hand, the other having been injured in a recent battle.

The Press declared the bout one of the best 158 pound battles ever staged out at the Doyle arena. EDITORIAL REFLECTIONS By: E. W. Kyle Falsehood is cowardice—truth is courage. Every human being has some good qualities to offset his backwardness. Sin in us is like the beard—we are shaved today, and tomorrow, behold it has grown again. Perfect sincerity and old fashioned honesty are so rare, that if one is so, he is regarded as a crank. It will be the acme of condemnation for one to point to you in the last day and say, "Ye did it." On the other side of the vapor called death we shall have the same Guide that we had on this side of it. Before us, as behind us, is God, and all is well. "Too late" is the curse of life; too late for obedience; too late for love; too late for respect; too late for reverence; too late for reform; too late for success; but never too late for ruin." Real Christian joy is not immunity from trouble, as so many imagine, but in the assurance of victory over them. "In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." The whole faculties of man must be exerted in order to call forth noble energies, and who is not earnestly sincere lives in but half of his being, self-mutilated and self paralyzed. Men who attain to real leadership and those who lift as they climb; broad in mental impulse; they forget self and become the embodiment of principles that make genuine progress and win the hearts of their comrades by the compelling force of character and personal magnetism. Don't be afraid of the truth. The truth is going to survive. In the very nature of things, truth stands and error passes. It is often necessary to fight for the truth, but it is absurd to fear that no matter how hard the fight is going, truth cannot be defeated permanently. If we are with the truth, we are forever on the winning side. God has written upon the flower that sweetens the air, upon the breeze that rocks the flower upon its stem, upon the raindrops that swell the air, upon the rain that recesses the smallest sprig of moss that rears its head in the desert, upon the ocean that rocks every swimmer in its channel, upon every pencilled shell that sleeps in the caverns of the deep, as well as upon the mighty sun which warms and chores the millions of creatures that live in his light—upon all has He written. "None of us liveth to himself." THE POISON OF SELF. PITY Get angry with yourself, pat yourself on the back, commend yourself, but don't pity yourself. Pity is a glorious and creditable attribute—when it flows out toward another. Then it is like the mountain brook, sparkling, chattering, leaping, the laughter of the woods, the refreshments of birds and beasts, carrying health nad joy to all who drink of its coolling flood, or gaze upon its happy play. But pity, when it turns upon self, is like a stagnant pool covered with hateful scum, and, concealing ugly, slimy, hateful things in its foul ooze. The self pitying are abusely talk about them. Others are promoted, ed over them. They get no proper thanks. The self-pitiers invite every variety of spiritual microbe to come in and breed. They are the clouds the, mud and the slush of mankind. They are rarely efficient. The source which springs the prevailing unrest, violence and lawlessness throughout the country can be dated back half a century. The moulders of popular sentiment, especially the press, have been giving continuance and encouragement during this period to extraneous, questionable and illegal methods for the alleged purpose of preventing "Negro Domination" and to maintain "White Supremacy." No crime was too heddous, no offense too grave and no deed too dastardly if utilized for the accomplishment of the purpose referred to. In several of the reconstructive states of the South, the disorganized and defeated remnants of the Confederate army were reorganized in the form of military clubs, fully armed and equipped, and as such, took charge of those governments vie et armis. Intelligent people knew then as they know now, that those methods were used, not to prevent the domination of the South, and not to prevent the domination of the political party with which a majority of the Colored voters were identified. The method thus adopted and enforced, although under false pretenses, have become so popularized that they are now national instead of local, and are utilized for any and all purposes The criminal as a rule, draws no col or line when he has a purpose to act compil. Hence he reasons: "That if the Constitution can be nullified and the statutes disregarded and diso beyed for one purpose why not for another? The poor man feels it his right and privilege to force the rich man to divide some of his riches with him. So we have the incentive for law, and the teachings resulting from the tolerances of illegal methods, make the enforcement of law and respect for the orderly process of law local; and since public sentiment is stronger than law, there is no remedy for the wrongs thus committed until there is a change in popular sentiment. When you get the worst of it in anything—when failure comes instead of victory for which you worked so hard and hoped so confidently—how do you take it? Sullenly, letting go of courage and good temper and all that went into the effort? Then you are making your failure much worse than it need be. Frequently the thing that looks very dark, indeed, when you are close to it, does not look so bad when once you get away from it a bit, out of its shadow. Cheer up, keep your courage, smile instead of scowling, and try again, harder, harder, harder, until you win. IT IS BRAINS THAT COUNT There is a demand for men of brains on the farm, in the mines, in the workshops, factories and indeed in every line of business. The world is seeking brains to conduct its gigantic enterprises, to guard its borders and to enforce its mandates on land and seas. The farm is reaching out for men of brains to delve deep down into its soils to bring to light its hidden secrets that multiplied millions may rejoice in prosperity and live in comfort. It is to the soil we must look for all that sustains life. It is to commerce and traffic we must when so soon power which them. Brains in the power which removes the obstacles and barriers over which mankind have been perplexed and disheartened. It levels the mountains of error, bridges and rivers of superstition and guides the universe in right paths. LET'S LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME If we as a race overcome the impediments and bestemest of life, let's begin today and live one day at a time. Start each day with a fresh record to be made. This must not be muddled with with the blurs of yesterday nor the possible blots of tomorrow. If the disagreeable ones go down to failure, you smile at the present full of life and sunshine. Don't let other people's troubles keep you from closing the day with thanksgiving. The young girl with a clean mind does not dread the morrow. She takes all the fun out of the present until it becomes a habit; such a strong habit that even the worries as they come fail to dim their determination to go forward. Try it for just one day, young man, young woman. Begin this morning to rub out your recollection of those nasty, mean, contemptible little prejudices you have against your neighbor and wish them the same pleasures you are enjoying—the pleasures that must count of we are to win this fight. Some people are more careless than others. Those who are extremely so are, perhaps, not wholly to blame for in many instances they but show the lack of home training. Those who permit themselves to drift into the habit—for habit it is—are wholly responsible. They are responsible for not only the habit itself, but for the valuable time that is wasted. It makes no difference what the profession or occupation of the man may be, or what engages the attention of the woman. There is no justification for hateful behavior for someone who besides he needs every moment he can command to keep abreast of the progress of his profession. If he is a business man, he can, if he will, coin spart moments into hard cash. If the woman preides over the household, she will find enough to engage her attention without wasting time in looking for misfaced articles or undertaking to undo what a little forethought and care might have prevented. In these days of keen competition minutes count, and minutes wasted are a serious loss. ONE WHO IS SORRY FOR HIMSELF IS ALREADY HALE BEATEN IS ALREADY HALF BEATEN No man that hasn't enough healthy egotism to admire himself a bit, amounts to much. Bad as egotism is, it is infinitely better than self-contempt. Stand erect and face the battles of life like men. Put the imprint of manliness in your own personal lives and resolve to be among those who win. LET'S REASON TOGETHER When in the beginning man's senses were in the embryonic stage the sense to reason stood out with dominant force as the line of demarkation between him and the brute. With this cumulative sense man has rapidly advanced through reasoning, down the ages of time, from the parent cell at the beginning; to the progressed form of mentality of today, gaining his present status only through ages of indomitable effort and struggles in his varied environments, in wrestling from the storehouse of knowledge its locked and guarded secrets. This ability to reason in the face of stern necessity, when mankind was young, are the prime factors that mark the grades of development t of different racial groups of today. The ratio of progression of each being in proportion to the needed efforts put forth in gaining from nature's bosom his needs and requirements of life. Where nature and climatic conditions had been prodigious and bountiful in supplying the wants of life to her children; "with necessity lacking" the lessons of life's stern school were not readily learned, as in other zones where conditions were more favorable and the teacher of life was constantly tutoring through growth and experience in the gaining by reason of their wants and needs. Thus we witness different racial groups of men in the sliding scale of life, from the arrested development of man, from the zone where nature supplied all his wants, to the developed form of mentality of today. In these racial groups stands the Negro, transplanted in the scheme of life, from his bountiful motherland to an alien land far away, where he has taken deep roots, and with his changed environments he has proved an apt pupil, by bridging the gap of years from arrested development, ignorance and superstition, t ointelligence and worth of today, and, while he has been through the crucible of ignorance, slavery and degradation, he is slowly but surely advancing up the ladder of life's progress by the factor of clear reasoning and with the help of that great power which so wonderfully has directed his steps, and from which he at times in his abject misery and despair did wonder if he had been forsaken. It must be through this clear reasoning that he must come to realize that his present handicaps and unjust treatment should be the cause to weld him together more firmly as a racial group, and that further advenience must come from himself alone, that while the pathway of life before him is already by the new spirit of determined effort with the intent to fill the house wonderful with which he is endowed, with the spirit of uprightness, spiritual and brotherly love, and with the true knowledge of effort well done, he will gain the meaning of self respect and self reliance in his steady progress to true manhood estate and the placing of African children further advanced in racial groups. Why Deaf and Dumb Individuals and Never Seasick In the physiologies of childhood's unhappy hours, you were expected to learn and to remember what happened JOHN H. HARRIS By Dr. E. B. Lewis, B. Sc. M. D. 1618 1-2 East 9th Street. to a poor pigeon. Do you recall the two pictures, one showing a pigeon before its ear was opened, and the other showing the semi-circular canals of its head cut out.? These three semi-circular canals shaped like half-pretzels are placed at right angles to each other. One is horizontal, one points east and west, and the other points north and south. Each one is hollowed out and acts in human and animal heads much as the stabilizer of an aeroplane does. They keep men from falling, balance birds and enable fish to preserve their equilibrium. These three half-circle canals are Office Phone, South 7602-J; Res South. 3106-J 15211-2 Central,Avenue located behind the ear to prevent giddiness, vertigoes and loss of balance. They are actually meters to show which way—not the wind, but gravity pulls. Recent experiments on the ear make it plain that even the dizziness of high blood pressure; heart strain and kidney disease are traceable indirectly to the vestibule of this organ which contains the semi-circular stabilizers. This indicates that in sea-sickness, vertigo and other kinds of dizziness, the physiology and the anatomy of the ear labyrinth is more or less concerned. What Investigation Proves.— Man lives in a large fashion upon two score or more senses, such as muscle, touch, heat, cold, pain, vision, hearing, taste, hunger, smell, and particularly this sense of equilibrium and position in space. A perfect balance, such as a flagpole painter or a structural iron worker maintains, is brought about by harmony of action between several senses such as the muscle sense, sight and this static sense which is under consideration. Interference, therefore, with any of this trid will bring to pass sort of dizziness. The worst types, however, are associated with disease and deformity of, or accident to the semi-circular pretzels in the ear labyrinth. Dizziness, seasickness or vertigo spells obstruction or disturbance of the usual relations and sensations which keep the human fluids balanced against the force of gravitation and of life. In 1860, Professor Meniere, of Paris, was the first definitely to associate one kind of failing disease or vertigo with the semi-circular canals. Since then it has been known that the static sense, the sensation of equilibrium, rests in that place. Whenever any malady, injury or birth condition irritates this vestibule of the ear, some kind of dizziness occurs. On the other hand, no matter how severe a disorder may affect the human form divine, if it fails to interfere with the even tenor of these canals, no vertigo appears. How Lymph Acts. A few persons may inherit or acquire such unadaptable semi-circular canals that the constant sway and motion of an ocean steamship will disrupt the fixed fluid relationship in this labyrinth. Even the roll of a street car or railroad train may cause it. The upshot is sea-sickness and other "vertiginus" attacks. So important have these inner car canals become in their association with dizziness that some of the leading medical colleges have created special departments where special tests are carried on to determine the state of health of this static sense. The principle underlying these tests is to find the condition and the movement of the lymph in the hollow half-pretzels. When the lymph passes in a given direction, "nystagmus" or a vibratory twitch to the eyes occurs, vertigo is felt and the individual feels like tearing. The way the lymph is set in motion is much the same as children do, "spin around and see how dizzy you feel." The doctor gives the patient a few twists on a revolving stool. The normal effects are known and deviations from them give a diagnosis. When you are thus spun to the left, you first feel it and then you soon do not know it, you are turning, because the lymph and fluid in the cast and west canal catches up. When the spinning motion is stopped, the lymph continues to move, and you feel as if you are being stirred the wrong way, those sections of falling in a horizontal plane have to do with the horizontal canals. The sensation in rising elevator or a rapid descent concerns the perpendicular canals. The impulse to throw yourself from a high place is supposed to be the pull of gravitation upon the lymph in the canals. Sea-sickness involves first one semi-circular canal and then another. One reason that purgatives help to prevent sea sickness is that the excess of lymph and fluid in the canals is reduced to a minimum. Deaf and dumb people do not become seasick, mals otherwise easily make seasick, mals otherwise easily make deaf, mals otherwise easily make deaf, shall we then eldom become seasick because the vestibule of the ear is very small. Sea-sickness certainly seems to be due to an ear condition.

THE BYSTANDER A matter that demands serious attention, and a matter which the government has taken due cognizance of, is the constant migration from the South to the Northern and Western cities of the Negro laborer. Everyone has the right and privilege to better his circumstances and condition, yet, this is alienable right does not shift or remove the responsibility of properly arranging for, and controlling this inevitable tide and flow of human beings. While our leaders, Profs. Pickens and Kelly Miller engage in I Atty. L. K. Beeks Office 822 Cent'r Avenue. The Same Thing. Atty. Lewis K. Beeks Office 822 Central Ave. Phone: 150-44 a mud slinging campaign, the Southern farmer leaves the land of his birth and sallies forth unknelled and unknown. We must think and start something that will help our downtrodden brother, and at the same time prevent a repitation of the condition in the South. One thing can be summarily suggested and that is, Every Negro ought to go to the polls and avail himself of the one opportunity that is upright and equal, and vote. Other organizations have their solutions. Some of us believe in them while others give them no credit. This is one thing that all citizens can and must do if they wish to maintain the little opportunity and chance we have here. Something must be done and done before 1935. We cannot stop migration and we should not try, but we can set standards and ideals and compel our new comers to meet them or be ostracized. A Little Church Scotts Chapel is a little city that sits on a hill and cannot be hid. Silent in vain boosting and noise making, it speaks loudly when we listen to it from the sounds of manhood and womanhood. Recently we have felt the throb and beat of this little institution. It claims the winner of our declamation contest held last Friday night, Miss Ethelyane Hunter. For her we join them in pride. She claims a former winner of an oratorical contest. Mr. Samuel Danly, Jr., and more, she gave us Misses Murgie Danly, Gladys Harris. young persons we are fond of, and particularly admire. This little church goes on uncomplainingly and quiet, but some day we hope another elegy shall be written, and this to Scotts Chapel, an elegy in a country church yard. The Southern California Alumni Association stamped itself on record last Friday night and Sunday afternoon as an organization that truly seeks to encourage and promote the aesthetic and cultural. The Declamation Contest was a success and stands as the stellar event for the intellectual display of our youth. The Alumni Tea was a magnetic source of encouragement. It showed the youth that we do care, and we care so much that we are willing to give our good time for their enjoyment, only asking in return, lives which become graduates of our educational system. There is still another star for the crown. Three scholarships are offered by this organization to be awarded at the Annual Reception. The organization is far from perfect but it is certainly doing a splendid piece of business, invigorating with appreciation the tender buds and flowers of the race under cultivation.

At the conclusion of the services seven persons connected with the church, two being converts. WEST SIDE MISSION A. M. E. CHURCH West 36th Street Major G. W. Piroleau, Pastor Last Sunday was a great day of service at the Mission. Seventy-two children present to honor their Mothers and show them how they appreciate the privilege of a good Sunday School. The contribution was way above the average and it is refreshing to learn that the Sunday School of the Mission will assume the balance of the debt on the pews. The morning service was largely attended by earnest and enthusiastic worshippers. One addition to the membership. At 3:00 p. m. Presiding Elder Washington conducted a splendid sermon which made the hearts of the people rejoice. At the evening service local preacher William Washington preached acceptably to a nice congregation. The plastering will be finished this week. We will tell you how it was done in our next. Come to the Mission. FIRST Aa M. E. CHURCH— Eighth and Avenue. Rev. A. Milton Ward, Minister Pastor Ward will occupy his pulpit in historic Eighth and Towne Avenue First A. M. E. Church Sunday at 11:00 a. m. Sunday night there is to be a thirty minutes organ recital and the senior chair will lead the congregation in singing familiar old hymns. Sunday will be our annual rally day; and the pastor and trustees are asking for $4,000.00 to remodel the parsonage and pay on our bonded debt. Every loyal member will do his bit. Every club is asked to report at the 11: a. m. and at the 7:30 o'clock services. The thermometer will begin to rise on each side when the first two clubs report. Interesting services were held on last Sunday. Rev. Ward occupied his pulpit at 11:00 a. m. paying a high tribute to "Mothers." Both choirs sang appropriate music and Mrs. Emma Smith thrilled the great audience with a beautiful solo 'Mother O'Mine.' There were four accessions to the membership of the church including one young woman convert. A large gathering of mothers were entertained and served refreshments by the young people of the church prior to the evening services on Sunday evening. An excellent program took the place of the sermon on Sunday night. It was under the auspices of the A. C. E. League, A. A. Thomas, president. Miss Marguerite James presided. Lawyer W. O. Tyler was the principal speaker; and his address on "Mothers" was par excellent. Others who played well their part in the excellent program were Miss Mamie Cox, Miss Anita Boyden and Mr. Charles Banks. Rev. Ward conducted the devotional exercises and the choir sang by special request songs our mothers used to sing in praise of God. Services were largely attended and there were many prominent-visitors. Supt. Orma Stratton and the Sunday School stopped the trip to Palestine long enough last Sunday to pay a timely tribute to "Mothers," in a very fine program conducted by Miss Isaore Stewart. FIRST A. M. E. E. ZION CHURCH—Corner Pico and Paloma Streets. Rev. W. E. Shaw, Pastor. Residence 1217 Paloma Street. No mother that the world has ever known could encourage and inspire our hearts on Mother's Day, more so than that beautiful character, Mary, the mother of Jesus. Rev. Shaw's message to the mother of our day vibrated with truth and sound doctrine as he preached the word of God from John 19th: 25 verse. God bless Mother's Day and may it long be remembered by generations yet to come. Rev. Shaw preached a glorious sermon to every mother. It softened the hardest heart and stirred up fondest memories. Prof. Bynum and choir lived up to their high standard of singing and furnished good music all day. They also furnished the program for the evening service which was excellent. On next Sunday, May 20th Rev. Shaw will preach at both services. Hear him. Don't fail to attend the greatest debate ever held in the city. A popular subject—"Is The World Growing Better?"

Mothers Day services were very enjoyable with us during the entire day, the aged mothers enjoying the feast prepared and served them by the Ladies of the Missionary Society. Our Rally closed with a decided success. We asked for the modest sum. $450. We collected nearly $500, all of which we give God the praise. We are very grateful to all who assisted us in any way. Come, you are welcome to worship with us. Last Sunday was a banner day. We had several new comers in the Bible School and also in the regular services both morning and night. Brother Williams, the acting Minister, filled the pulpit both services. At 11:00 o'clock, he spoke from this subject, and when Peter was come to himself, he said. Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his Angel and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. Theme: "God's Way," Acts 12:11. And at night he spoke from this subject, "And he commanded the chario to stand still; and they went down both Philip and the Eunuch; and he baptized him. Theme: Baptism. These sermons were indeed helpful and all who heard them were wonderfully benefitted. Services for next Lord's day as usual.

We observed "Mothers Day" last Sunday and had a blessed time throughout. Our Sunday School was well attended despite the fact of illness among some of our families. The lesson was helpfully discussed, and all were benefited. White and Red Carnations were very much in evidence. Mrs. Alice Johnson did most gracefully the decorating of each member and visitor. Mrs. Geneva Jones read a delightful paper on Mothers Day, and her daughter Miss E. Jones, was at her best in a very appropriate Solo. At the time for the sermon Dr. Prowd announced GENESIS 3:29 "She was the Mother of all Living." It surely was a surprise to listen to the other side of life and character of dear old Mother Eve. God certainly did open our eyes to see some new things concerning this first lady of our earth. The people went away with higher views of womanhood. The B. Y. P. U. was easily conducted by Y. Superintendent Dr. Evans, the President being away. At night we observed the Lord's Supper and again experienced a blessed season of refreshing from The Master. Our Church extends the hand of welcome, but requests that you come graveyal. THE OLD GOSPEL PREACHED HERE! ST.

Less, than two years ago—in October, 1921—two young Los Angeles men, L. R. Ingram and Fitzhugh L. Banks, organized the Eastside Realty Company, and "hung out their shingle" at 1437 Central Avenue, corner of Clanton, in a six by ten real estate "cabin." Shortly afterward Messrs. Banks and Ingram were joined by O. L. Banks, as third member of the firm. [The Eastside Realty Company now consists of Mr. F. L. Banks, President, Mr. L. R. Ingram, Secretary, and Mr. O. L. Banks, Treasurer A few weeks ago the company moved into new quarters at the same address—a spacious, high-ceilinged, oak-paneled office, handsomely furnished in golden oak, and equipped with all the very latest appliances in office equipment, that go to make for efficiency in business management. In short, the "new home" of the Eastside Realty Company is distinctly metropolitan in every way, and would do credit to Broadway or Spring St. The "field equipment" of the company includes three late-model touring cars, for the accomodation of the public. "Courtesy and tact in dealing with our people, together with strict honesty and accuracy as to details in handling the business of our clients, has won for us the confidence and patronage of the public," said Mr. Ingram, after acknowledging, with characteristic modesty, our tribute to his splendid enterprise. "This has not been easily or quickly done, for the general attitude of the Colored public toward the Colored business man is one of distrust, partly justified by unfortunate experiences in the past. "But twentieth century methods win. I had an unusual opportunity to study the white man's methods of business efficiency first hand, as an employee of the American Railway Company at El Paso, Texas, and I am endeavoring, with the co-operation of my valued associates, to prove that a Negro business, conducted by twentieth century methods, can progress just as rapidly and achieve as signal success, in proportion to the limited capital of the Negro people, as any white business enterprise. "We are now specializing in subdivisions, almost entirely. I believe I can say, without fear of contradiction, that we are the pioneers in Southern California in this line of real estate endeavor. The importance of this opportunity—an opportunity to pick and choose their home and business-sites from valuable and desirable tracts of land, without fear of discrimination—is hardly yet apparent to our people, but they are rapidly awakening to the value of this privilege which has hitherto been the privilege of the white man. "I am free to say that we were distinctly successful in our first essay of this kind—the placing on the market of the Tract known as Central Avenue Gardens. Practically every lot sold within a phenomenally short time, to responsible persons who, I am glad to state, are establishing a record for promptness and good faith in taking care of the obligation they assumed. "An evidence more convincing than any words I might say, is the fact that one of the greatest banking institutions in California, with resources of more than $250,000,000 has now given into our hands for sale to our people, a tract of land which they own, located in the midst of the most active industrial and residential development, in the City and County of Los Angeles. I refer to the Central Avenue Subdivision, thrown open to the public by us a few weeks ago. "There has been much said, pro and con, regarding this tract, and I take this occasion to state to the public that we invite, or going further—we solicit, the most thorough personal investigation into this proposition, both as to the intrinsic value of what we offer, and our methods of handling business pertaining to the same." Eminently practical business man as he is, paradoxical as it may seem, Mr. Ingram is an idealist and a dreamer. The proof of the first assertion is his statement that the pride he takes in the success of the Eastside Realty Company—which he modestly characterizes as "the first step"—is not mere personal valgory, nor money-lust, but has a deeper-laid base in a desire to make the road smoother for those who will come after him. Every step toward winning the confidence and good will of the Colored public, commanding the respect and esteem of the white public, will have a far-reaching psychological effect in making future commercial effort by those of our group more easy of accomplishment, and the youth of this generation will not be a rule, restricted to menial or manual labor, but will find the business world open to each and every one, according to the measure of his ability. Such is Mr. Ingram's ideal; his dream is of a great Negro financial institution in the future, which will place capital at the command of our group without recourse to the white man. This "dream" will undoubtedly materialize. High ideals, hacked by ability, executed with energy and efficiency, will materialise any "dream" that makes for the progress of the race or individual, the business or the community. SCHOLARSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT The California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs is offering its yearly Scholarship Prize of Fifty Dollars, to be paid in July at the Association's annual session in San Diego. This price money will be paid directly to the school or college which the student enters after graduating from High School. The prize is not limited to any part of the State, but is open to graduates from high schools through California, and its award is based upon scholarship and character. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May, Never Know It Happened Applications for this scholarship may be sent to any club member, but must reach the Superintendent of Education immediately after graduation in order to be acted upon before the Annual Session in July. POLITICAL MISLEADERS SHOULD BE POLITICALLY ASSASSINATED CLASSIFIED GET IN MEMORIUM To My Father and Mother, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Bassett, Who Recent ly Departed This Life. When I was but a little child, My mother, as a rule, Would hasten out, on Sabbath Day With us to Sunday School. Some days she could not go, Although she stood waving from the door. "Go on, my dears, I'll watch until I see the last go over the hill. My father stood in the village street Waiting for us there. "Come on, children, or you'll be late!" With us the service he did share. Our mother was a precious one, So loving, kind and true, I'll try to walk the path she trod. And live as she would have me do. My mother worked, my father toiled. The old Methodist church on yonder soil. Built for us there, stamped on our mind. How we should live, as we travel down the line. They loved us then, we love them yet, Their care for us I can't forget. The hardships with us they did share, Though the cross was heavy to bear.

McKINNEY NOW CONNECTED WITH CENTRAL EMPLOYMENT AGENCY Prof. McKinney, well and favorably known as the leading race magician, is now affiliated with the Central Employment Agency, 1470 Central Ave. The Agency is now prepared to place efficient people in desirable positions, and to furnish employment of every nature to competent persons seeking the same. Prof. McKinney's former theatrical activities have given him a wide acquaintance among the studios and theatres, and he is therefore in a position to furnish talent for stage and screen, from our people. The following letter to Prof. McKinney from the Goldwyn Pictures Studios: May 19, 1923. Prof. J. A. McKinney, 2160 E. 14th Street. Los Angeles, Clif. Dear Sir: We are in receipt of your letter of March 10th, and wish to advise you that we are placing it on file and will let you know when the opportunity presents itself whereby we can take advantage of the characters you offer. Prof. McKinney and his business associates urge all desiring employment to register at 1470 Central Avenue, TRINITY BAPSTIST CHURCH— West 36th St. and Normandie Ave. The Sunday School was well attended and many helpful points were brought out by the teachers. Mother's day was observed throughout the day, beginning in the Sunday school. At the Eleven o'clock services the pastor was at his beat, his subject being, Mother's place in civilization. The text was taken from John 19:22. All who heard the sermon received a blessing. The Holy Spirit was in evidence. The B. Y. P. U., under the leadership of Mrs. Frances Spikes is progressing nicely. The attendance was excellent. The evening services were given over to the choir who rendered a most splendid program. The public is cordially invited to all our services. Contest A Success. The Declamation Contest with banners waving and voices shrill and true. the Colored High School students assembled in intellectual array last Friday evening at the A. M. E. Church, 8th and Towne Avenue. It was the annual Declamation Contest between the cream of the high schools given under the auspices of the Southern California Alumni Association. No one present shall ever regret this wonderful opportunity of listening to young Colored America handle with a vim and a grasp, the comprehensive, varied and masterful subjects such as were chosen and delivered. We may not all agree as to the manner and method of the prize awards, but we are unanimous in our opinion that this occasion takes precedence over most of the affairs which are conducted, involving our youth Then young men and women from Southern California, representatives from their several schools, matched their learning and ability with that of their compere to the ecstacy and edification of all present. After some delay the decision of the judges favored Miss Ethelwyn Hunter of Pasadena for first place, and Mr. Clarence Brothers of Manual Arts, second honors. We do not wish to detract from the praise of the victors but we cannot refrain from commenting on the splendid work of Misses Johnson of Jefferson, Balkin of Lincoln and Thomas of the Los Angeles High School. As a matter of fact every participant deserves honorary mention and should not be disturbed because of the fact that another won. All cannot win and even though our favorite loses, they win in that the experience of poise and effort is a wonderful gain. Much credit for this effort is given to the program committee, Misses Vassie Williamsam and Cardie Stovall; Messrs W. Matthews and L. K. Beeks. The judges of the occasion were Mrs. C. A. Spear Bass, editor of the Eagle, Atty Towson Grasty and Prof Banks, President of the N. A. A. C. P. We eagerly look forward to the coming of this content next year. High & Council City Hall Council Central Avenue Subdivision The Tract of Merit CENTRAL AVENUE SUBDIVISION offers you a home-site in one of the fastest growing sections of Greater Los Angeles, and in the midst of developments that are costing millions of dollars. If you want to live among people who will build good homes, this is the place for you. CENTRAL AVENUE SUBDIVISION has RESTRICTIONS, not race restrictions but restrictions that will preserve the value of the neighborhood and keep undesirables away. Among the restrictions are the following: No building shall be constructed thereon that shall not cost and be fairly worth at least $1500; Each house shall set back at least fifteen feet from the front property line; No fence or hedge shall be constructed or grown that shall be over 3 feet high on the front property line. We all remember when lots on Western Avenue could have been bought for the present price of a lot in Central Avenue Sub-Division, today they are selling as high as $30,000. When Central Avenue is opened, a 100-foot boulevard, to San Pedro, the value of lots on and near Central will increase from m100 to 1000 %. Will this mean anything to you? Will you profit by the LESSONS of the past? HERE is a fac-simile of the Application made by RALPH L. CRISWELL to join the KU KLUX KLAN.

SIM THOUSAND SHARES--- Elk's Annual Picnic Golden West Lodge 86 VERDUN MINING COMPANY IS STILL FORGING AHEAD SALES MANAGER J. B. SIMMS REPORTS OVER FIFTY THOUSAND SHARES---CAPITAL STOCK---SOLD By: JOHN EMERY PROWD The Verdun Mining and Leasing Company has one of the richest hills that has ever been discovered in the mining section of Tuolumne County, where there are no fewer than 10 producing mines, each within a mile of one another. As proof of the belief in the value of the mine, at great cost secured the services of Mr. A. E. Sedgwick, a Mining and Civil Engineer of Los Angeles, Calif., and at present instructor in the University of Southern California, to go over the property for the purpose of making a report, not only for the stockholders, but also for the benefit of the public, who always desire a statement or opinion of an authority on such matters. His report in part follows: scribed is pertinent to the formation under consideration. "The igneous intrusion of Diabase traversing the Verdun and Brown Bird claims is deep seated and probably connects with the underlying igneous batholith, an indication of great depth to the vein. The thermal solutions ascended along the walls of this intrusion, depositing precious minerals along their course and altering the wall rock of the lesser resisting Calaveras formation for some distance out from the intrusion. "The amount or degree of replacement decreases with the distance away from the intrusion, being greater at the contact and usually inconsequential a few feet away from it. ORÉ DEPOSIT "The ore deposit is found along the footwall of an intrusion of Diabase in the Cataveras Formation. This intrusion is 30 feet thick. It bears nearly east and west and dips 60 deg. north. THE PRESENT HOUSE Which lowers and raises the Shaft Just 90 Feet THE PRESENT HOIST AT the gulch surface work shows along the footwall of the intrusion from which it is reported that pocket miners have taken large amounts of free gold. The gulch below this intrusion shows evidence of having been worked for placer deposits. The gulgeys across the gulch leading into it show no evidence of placer workings indicating that the values recovered from the placer workings must have come from the side of the hill upon which these claims rest and, probably, from erosion of the Verdun vein. "Sulphide croppings along the strike of the vein indicate that the erosion of this hill has been more rapid than the oxidation, so that there is no oxidized zone of any extent and that ore encountered will be classified as a Sulphide Ore. "Throughout the Mother Lode in the sulphide zone the precious metals have been deposited by ascending thermal solutions. These solutions contain a great deal of silica with lesser amounts of carbon dioxide, alkaline carbonates and hydrogen sulphides. The gold in this solution was probably dissolved in the alkaline sulphides. 1 THE COOK SHACK AT THE VERDUN MINE Under favorable conditions hot mineral-bearing solutions rising under pressure through the rifts or fissures attacked the wall rock on either side of the fissures which the solutions moved, dissolving the wall rock, wholly or in part, and depositing their mineral content in the place of the mineral matter removed. This is known as Replacement or Metasonatism. In some cases the substitution is complete; in others it is only partial. Ascending thermal solutions carrying the precious metals in solution entered the rock along channels of least resistance, such as rifts, fruits or cleavage planes, penetrated the walls along the cleavage planes or fracture lines and then attacked the solid portion of the swall rock. The change is progressive, being the greatest upon the face of the walls and usually dying out a short distance back of the wall face. "There are many other methods by which mineral-bearing solutions deposit their contents, but the one de- Page---Two scribed is pertinent to the formation under consideration. "The igneous intrusion of Diabase traversing the Verdun and Brown Bird claims is deep seated and probably connects with the underlying igneous batholith, an indication of great depth to the vein. The thermal solutions ascended along the walls of this intrusion, depositing precious minerals along their course and altering the wall rock of the lesser resisting Calaveras formation for some distance out from the intrusion. "The amount or degree of replacement decreases with the distance away from the intrusion, being greater at the contact and usually inconsequential a few feet away from it. The process of replacement is one involving chemical reactions of the alkaline gold-bearing solutions. During these reactions, the character of the solvent is changed, with the result that the gold is deposited as the reaction occurs. T AT VERDUN MINE which brings up the Pay Ore from the Below the Surface "This explains the presence of gold next to the footwall of the intrusion of Diabase and the decrease in value away from the intrusion. "The width of the zone of replacement varies from a few inches to a few feet. Where it is a few feet wide, it would be called an "ore chute", provided precious metals were deposited in the replacement zone. Where it is but a few inches wide, it would be called a "lead" and would be followed to the point where it opened up again into another ore chute. "Differential movements along the walls of the intrusion and the Calaveras formation fractured the walls along the contact, giving freer access to the thermal solutions with consequent enlargement of the zone of replacement. This also has a decided bearing on the location and size of the ore chute. "This explanation shows why the ore chute was found and should be pursued along the contact of the Diabasic intrusion and the Calavera formation. The theory is also borne out by the facts established by the development work on the property." 1 DEVELOPMENTS "Plate 1 shows the approximate location of the Verdun shaft, also the location and strike of the intrusion of Diabase. To the northeast of the intrusion of Diabase, the Calavera formation has been broken by a series of faults, forming passageways for siliceous solutions which have partially replaced the softer minerals of the Calavera formation, forming siliceous shales and quartzites. The quartzites are far more resistant to erosion than the softer unaffected surrounding shales and, therefore, stand out plainly as a prominent feature of the butts and naturally forming the sheet. A cross fault with a strike of south 6 deg. east cuts the ciliceous formations just described, passing very close to the top of the shaft, cutting the intrusion of Diabase, and continues to the serpentine some distance below. The shaft has been located at the intersection of this cross fault --- If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Annual Picnic West Lodge 86 Building War Tax 55c Selig Zoo World's Greatest Show Place Tuesday, MUSIC ALL Black & Tan and The Feature Attract Y IS STILL D S OVER FIFTY and the intrusion of diabase on the footwall of the Dpase intrusion. Geologically, the shaft is properly located. Fortunately, the ground slopes away from the shaft with just enough incline to form mill site, leaving plenty of room for a tailing dump at the bottom of the mill. Plate II shows that the shaft was started on the footwall contact of the Diabase intrusion but that the dip of the shaft is greater than the dip of the Diabase so hat the shaft gets farther and farther away from the intrusion with deh. This is unfortunate for two reasons. First, the dip of the shaft varies between 75 deg. and 80 deg to the northeast. With this high do it cannot be used as a vertical shift and is too steep to be successful operated as an inclined shaft usit a skip running on a track. Skips running on a track with such high inclination are very liable to leave de track when being hoisted or lowend. The shaft either should have been a vertical shaft or sunk with a dipof not more than 65 deg. Second, as the shaft was sunk, it departed farther and farther from the diabasic intrusion so that it soon left the zone of replacement, or ore chute. A sample of the sump made up of rock from the first 35 feet of the shaft averaged $18.00 in gold. Four samples taken from the bottom of the shaft assayed less than $1.00 each. The reason for this variation in value is probably due to the fact that the bottom of the shaft is about 20 feet from the diabasic intrusion and out of the ore chute, while the top of the shaft, being at the contact of the intrusion, was in the ore chute. A cross cut from the 100-foot level to the diabasic intrusion will prove or disprove this theory. "The shaft is 4 feet by 7 feet, the 7-foot dimension being parallel to the dike. It is well timbered and equipped with a small gasoline hoist and bucket sufficient to sink 250 to 300 feet. "A tunnel 140 feet long has been driven into the butte starting in the serpentine, passing through the gouge and some limestone and into the Calaveras formation. The tunnel strikes N. 21 deg. W. and would have to be driven several feet farther before it would cut the ore body. Considerable water seeps into the tunnel and is piped to the camp for domestic purposes. "The sequence of formations in this tunnel is typical of the Mother Lode main system. "Many surface cuts have exposed the diabasic intrusion throughout the length of the claim proving its continuity. ORE VALUES "The ore body has been opened at but one place, at the top of the shaft, so that it was not possible to get samples from different portions of the vein. Along the strike of the vein upon the surface the outcrops were weathered and did not represent conditions that would be found in depth and, therefore, were not sampled. "The ore dips away from the shaft so that the lower portion of the shaft was out of the ore chute. The shaft was heavily timbered and lagged and filled behind the lagging so that the walls of the shaft could not be uncovered, except at considerable expense, therefore it was "impracticable to try to sample the shaft throughout its depth, and unnecessary so long as it was clear that the lower portion of the shaft was not in the ore chute. "A portion of the dump representing about the first 35 feet of the shaft was trenched from top to bottom and sampled. This sample was brought to Los Angeles and taken to John Herman, a commercial assayer. After being quartered down assays were made by Mr. Herman and by us. We made two assays, one gave $17.60 and the other $18.00. Mr. Herman reports $18.60. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the average value of the first 35 feet of shaft over a width of 4 feet is $18.00. "This is a remarkable showing, far above the average values found over such a width on the Mother Lode, and it must not be expected that such values will persist. It can be considered an indication of good values along the contact of the diabasic intrusion and the Calaveras formation." "The reports from pocket hunters that much free gold has been washed from the surface on the strike of the vein and the indications of extensive placer work in the gulch below the vein, add strength to the probabilities of an ore chute along the contact."

The Lord is to be praised for the glorious service at this church last Sunday. The Sunday School well attended had a number of visiting pupils were with us. The offering was splendid. The Morning Service was well attended. It was General Class Sunday and about 30 persons testified to the goodness of God and expressed determinations for heaven. The spiritual power of the Lord was wonderfully manifested upon those present. The large number of visitors expressed their appreciation of the meeting. The Endeavor was very interesting, impressive and the attendance increased. At night the Pastor spoke to a mixed audience of visitors and members from the text "The hath sent me to proclaim Liberty to the Captives, to open the prison to them that are bound. This Church is in an effort to raise $1,000 by May 27th. Everybody please hear and heed the Macedonian Cry. Come over into Ward Chapel, 1252 East 25th May 27th at 3:00 p. m. and help us. Spiritual and otherwise. "Come unto me." was the Sunday morning text. It had been suggested to the pastor. From this subject the Rev. Shaw preached another one of those sermons which have made him the drawing card of Wesley, and has inspired this people to do the many complimentary things done under his pastorage. It being Communion Sunday, and Anniversary Day, as well the spirit of worship ran high and 332 communicants answered the invitation. Good music both vocal and instrumental characterized the day, and greatly aided in the success of the services. Next Sunday is Mother's Day and seats will be at a premium. No one can afford to miss the special church services and Young People's services at 6:20 p. m. Strangers and friends are especially invited. FIRST A. M. E.

Shaw will preach a Mother Day sermon at 11:00 o'clock. The choir will render a program Sunday evening. On last Sunday morning the pastor preached from St. John 6th chapter 55 verse. It was an exceptionally profitable sermon and a very fine attendance was out both morning and night. The evening text was Matthew 7 chapter 1 verse. The choir under Professor Bynum's direction sang very sweetly. They feel quite pround of their new books. The drive for another thousand dollars by June is in full swing. The money is to apply on the mortgage. Everyone is cordially invited to attend all our services. Many enjoyable entertainments are planned between now nad the first Sunday in June.

Prowd, Pastor We had good services all day last Sunday. The Lesson in the Sunday School was heartily enjoyed by all. New scholars and visitors were cordially received. At the 11 o'clock service Dr. Prowd preached from Habakkuk 3.18. "Yet I will repose." It was plainly shown that though the Christian be stript of all blessings, and bereft of relatives and friends, yet one stronghold remains unshaken into which he can run and find comfort. God never deserts His children. The B. Y. P. U. was easily conducted by our President Mr. John E. Prowd assisted by others. At night the subject was that of the downfall of Saul, the first King of Israel. The text was 1 Samuel 15:23. Because thon hast rejected the word of the Lord. He hath also rejected thee from being King." It was a serious presentation of the truth, and all listened with marked attention. Dr. Prowd will discourse this Sunday morning on the subject—Hard places made for ourselves, removed by a kind Father. At night The Lord's Supper will be observed.

Cothram, who was to preach at the 11:00 o'clock hour was unable to be with us as he reported. But would preach for us at 11:00 a.m. on the third Sunday in May. So Rev. Bro. L. J. Williams, who is doing the preaching at this time brought to our attention two very helpful messages. At 11:00 o'clock he spoke from the subject, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth: to the Jew first and also to the Greek, proving to us that a Christian is not ashamed to wear Christ's name. And at night he took for his text the Second chapter of the Book Phil, and the 9th verse. "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: These Two sermons stirred the whole congregation. The services for next Lord's day are as follows: Bible School at 9:45 and preaching at 11:00 a. m. Young People's Meeting at 7:00 and preaching again at 8:00 p. m.

THE INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Cor. 18th and Paloma Sts. Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor The splendid message delivered by the pastor last Sunday morning aroused great religious enthusiasm in the large congregation which had gathered to worship. "Our offering to God" was the general theme of the sermon. The spirit in which our offering is made is the important thing, is a lasting thought to all who heard. Miss Banton was the morning soloist and Mr. J. H. Shackelford, Supt. of the S. S. W. was the first speaker of the Sunday School Membership Campaign which has been launched for some time. He spoke Sunday morning. The Second Quarterly Convocation which convened Wednesday, May 2, 1923, was one of the best which has ever met. $1,439.65 was the amount reported in the combined treasures of the various church auxiliaries. In the general church treasury there was reported $7,715.64. Many excellent reports were submitted.

SPECIALIZING IN STOMACH, KID NEY DISEASES AND NEURAS THENIA ```markdown ``` Page----Four ```markdown ``` Branch Office CENTRAL AVENUE South 7840-J "MESSENGER" HAS FOUGHT LONG FOR NEGRO WORKERS "MESSENGER" HAS FOUGHT LONG FOR NEGRO WORKERS Socialist Magazine Active in Fight for Freedom of Speech, Amnesty and Russian Recognition (Taken from New York Call) Six years ago the Messenger and its editors astonished America with their radical message of economic emancipation for the Negro through organized labor and Socialism. Prior to advent no hint of the labor of the Negro problem was made by Negro leaders. Why? Because of the economic control which the industrial and financial capitalists maintained over them as a result of contributions which they made to Negro schools, churches and publications. As a result of the Messenger's merciless and withering criticism of white and Negro reactionaries, of the advocacy of the cause of a new social order, of its uncompromising policy on the race and labor issues, the circulation shot up to 26,000 within a period of six months. During the World War the Messenger stood out boldly and laid bare Woodrow Wilson's stark hypocrisy that the United States was fighting to "make the world safe for democracy," on account of which it was summarily denied second-class mailing privilege, a heavy financial handicap and burden which the radical and liberal labor unions helped to bear. No Negro-leaders suffered or sacrificed with so consuming and unselfish a spirit of devotion to the great principles of working-class solidarity and race justice than did A. Phillip Randolph and Chandler Owen, the editors. In Cleveland they were arrested while speaking for the Socialist party and held without bail for several days. Instead of eing dismayed they fought on with increasing vigor and determination to awaken the sleeping masses of black workers to a conscious realization of their class interest. The Messenger has waged an unrelenting war in the interest of the unconditional release of political and class war prisoners. No publication has been more persistent and scathing in denoucing as a menace to democracy and the American labor movement the rising tide of anti-Semitism in America. Perhaps one of the most valiant and outspoken organs in America in the interest of the right of the Russian people to determine their own form of government, to the right of recognition by America, in the interest of relief to famine-stricken Russia, has been the Messenger and its editors. Through the files of the Messenger may be found an unceasing and unremitting cry against the utter inhumanity of Great British and Ireland. It is a matter of record that the editors were the first to sound a note of warning against the Klan, expressing it through an international mass meeting in 1919. Jews, Catholics, Negroes and labor were represented in that meeting. The Messenger fought the black Klan, too, as it was represented by Marcus Garvey, just as the class-conscious Italian workers are fighting the Fascist in America. The fight so stirred the Klan that it sent A. Philip Randolph a "human hand," an incident that shocked the nation. The Post Office and the United States Department of Justice said that it was the first case in history that a part of a human body had been sent through the mails. The first Socialist branch among Negroes was organized by A. Philip Randolph and Chandler Owen. This work the Negro Communists have done their utmost to destroy. Just as the Rand School, The New York Call, the Workers' Defense Committee, the Civil Liberties Union, the Jewish Daily Forward, the Workman's Circle, the Socialist and labor leaders have been misrepresented and lied upon, so have the editors of the Messenger been libelled.

EVER LOYAL By Eva Carter Buckner. When the sturdy Pilgrim fathers Sought this land across the sea, They were tired of oppression And determined to be free. Of their struggle and their conquest History records well, They declared their independence Liberty, rang or a bell. Long, Oh! long! the sable fathers Prayed their God to set them free, And He heard their prayer so humble Songs they sang so plaintively And He touched the heart of people Those on whom He could depend Those who ever stood for justice And their country would defend. Bless the great immortal Lincoln! Whom He willed through martial Should be savior of our country And should break old slavery's chain Think. Oh think of Brown the martyr He whose soul goes marching on. Lovejoy. Garrison and Sumner Others too, at freedom's dawn. Ah, and we would pay a arblate To the Union soldiers too Dauntless heroes who were fighting For a cause so just and true; For a cause so just and true Yes and to the bold Black Regiment Who so proudly doned the blue Though untrained yet ever ready Glad that they could dare and do. All the heroes of the country Are not dead nor do they sleep But as sentinels on duty They an earnest vigil keej; Justice always finds defenders Altruism finds a place In the heart of those who're ever Mindful of the human race. We've the greatest Constitution And 'twill stand for it is real, He was witness to its framing, And on it He set His seal. We are passing through the crisis Foes are firm, and friends are true There are things that need adjusting in some way He'll do it, too. We're part of this great nation Long have been an dong will be One dependent on the other He has willed it so, to be. And 'e'en with this partial freedom Trifle more than fifty years The achieving and progressing Have dispelled all doubts and fears People mine be ver loyal; Oh do not discouraged be If the God above is for us, Who against us then can be? Let us then be ever loyal While our head's above the sod, Loyal to our friends, our country, Loyal to our flag, our God. A REASONABLE AND WORTH WHILE TASK Assumed by Negro Baptists. The suggestion made to the Conference of Ministers and Laymen held in Memphis, Tennessee, April 3, by Dr. Williams, President, of our National Baptist Convention, to raise $100,000 this year for work of the National Baptist Convention fairly electrified that great gathering. It was received in soberness and by thoughtful Baptists whose eager faces told that the importance of the occasion had THE COLLEGE OF MUSIC University of Southern California Presents EDNA ROSALYNE HEARD---SOPRANO Student Of Mme.

They seemed ashamed of so much denominational big talk and so little accomplishment. The men and women who met there on that day were far visioned Baptists, who determined under God to overcome the little done and the vast undone by helping raise the $100,000. As individual churches, we have excelled everywhere. For example, the Abyssinian Church in New York City the first of April raised SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, and the 16th Street Church of Birmingham, Alabama, during the same month, raised Thirteen Thousand Dollars. But for real team work, as set out in our Lord's Prayer, and now called for in all successful undertakings, we have utterly failed. The men nad women who gathered on that day, realized that not to erect a monument to Dr. Morris and build the Publishing House this year, would make all Baptists look very small, if not a laughing stock in the yes of all thoughtful people. The president suggested the following which was adopted as the plans by which money is to be raised: That the $100,00 to be raised be apportioned among the several states as follows: States in Class A (asked t orale $5,000 each): Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas. States in Class B (asked to raise $3,000.): California, District of Columbia, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia.

In the letter, young Lawrence says: "I shall return to Los Angeles about May 15th, fully prepared to take up my duties as salesman for the Roberts Mutual Paint Company. I am looking forward to this opportunity with every confidence that I will make good, and justify the confidence of both my employers and my patrons and customers." The Roberts Mutual Paint Company is a co-operative enterprise, located at 2215 E. 9th Street. It has been disclosed by Mr. Green, Sr., that a number of people desirous of purchasing paint at this time, are holding their orders until Mr. Lawrence gets in the field, in order that he may receive due credit for the same. To these prospective customers, the Company wishes to announce that they will be glad to take and fill such orders from now on; that all buyers are at liberty to mention Mr. Lawrence Green's name when placing their orders, and the Company will see to it that he receives full credit for the same upon his arrival. Incidentally, a number of painters, contractors, and individual house owners who have given the Mutual's goods a trial, are unanimous in their endorsement of the excellent quality and reasonable cost of these high class paints.

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!

EDUCATIONAL NOTES Special Articles Book Reviews Opinions Interviews THE BATTLE ARCHIE WOODYARD Jefferson Sprint Marvel One of the best local athletes ever to don a pair of spikes is little Archie Woodyard, sprinting ace of Jefferson High School. He has been a consistent point winner throughout the season, winning the hundred yards dash and the two hundred twenty yards. He has run the century in 10 1-5 seconds several times and the fugling in 22 1-5 three times. In the tryouts for the City meet he equalled the existing record of 10 1-5 held jointly by Paddock and Redmond. The following Saturday when the finals for the city were held Archie beat the Pasadena finish. Eddie Pollack in the century, but the judges gave the race to Pollack. Pictures taken by photographers, and especially the one which was loaned to the Jeffersonian, the Jefferson High School weekly newspaper by the Examiner, showed Woodyard winning and looking back at his white rival. Nevertheless, in the two twenty Woodyard led the field to the tape winning easily in the fast time of 22 1-5 conds, and establishing a new City record for the event. In the Southern California meet held last month at Santa Ana, Archie, although ill, ran a beautiful race in the hundred, but was beaten by a few inches by Hershall Smith, of San Fernando, national sprint champ. The time was. 10:15. He came back strong in the furlong. The little speed demon raced to the tape beating Smith by six inches and equalled the Southern California record of 22:15 seconds held by Chas. Paddock since 1917. Woodyard was Jefferson's hope for team honors also that day. His total of points were eight, thus enabling Jefferson to place in the first half-dozen. He is entered in the State meet at Oxy today, and if old man Dope has his way, Archie should make things hot in the century for the speedsters, and should win. Anyway, we believe he will win the other sprint event, as he has made the fastest time in the state so far this year in the two hundred twenty yards. He has an enviable treasure of medals and has been complimented by a host of friends. Archie is expected to be one of the prp athletes to compose Rublen's All-American Scholastic track team, should he compete in the National meet in Chicago this month. SWIMMING POOL TO The swimming pool will open about the 15th. This ought it be good news for all who are fond of the popular tank exercise and those seeking relief from old man Sol. The tank will receive a new coat of paint, and later in the sumer Mr. Hayes Roberson, our swimming instructor, intends to conduct several meets. Moving Pictures of Aviatrix Are Excellent Moving pictures of Miss Bessie Coleman, only race woman flyer, were shown at the "Y" all this week, and proved to be not only educational and entertaining, but inspirational. A Pathe News Reel of her flights in Germany showed the flyer hovering over the former Kaiser's palace in Berlin. The second picture showed her performing before twenty thousand of her people at the Tri-State Fair in Memphis, Tennessee last October. Mis Coleman was engaged in making a picture for the movies at Santa Monica, when suddenly her plane made a three hundred foot nose-dive and crashed to the ground. This is the third and last of the films and at the end Hon. Chandler Owen, Mrs. Jones, and several friends are seen with the noted aviatrix If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened The Alpha Delta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha will conclude its Educational Campaign on Sunday, May 13, with an entertainment to all students of High Schools or Colleges. The affair will take place at the Parish Hall, 1527 Paloma, and will assume the form of an Educational Fete. Dr. Stoner, executive secretary to the President of U. S. C. will speak and a splendid program will be presented. Tempting refreshments will be served. All students are urged to bring their class and school pennants, and be prepared to give their school yells. Now all together, lets be there for a good time. Come one, come all. An Educational Meeting at the A. M. E. Church at Pasadena will conclude the worthy campaign for education among the Colored youth of the country. The Alpha Delta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha scored a tremendous success on the occasion of its Educational Sunday, April 29th, an annual event connected with the "Go to High School Go to College Campaign." Dr. Montgomery, the registrar of the University of Southern California, was the speaker at the meeting conducted by the Chapter at the Western Presbyterian Church on the above date. The force of his words struck home and no doubt inspired many to a greater determination. Musical numbers presented by members of the church added much to the success of the occasion. In the evening of the same day the Chapter conducted an Educational Program at the First A. M. E. church, Dr. R. B. Von KleinSmid, president of the University of Southern California delivered the address of the evening. His brilliant oratory, coupled with his winning personality, carried the audience and he was greeted with rounds of applause. An unusual program was rendered by members of the Chapter, assisted by Miss Naida McCullough and Mr. Armice Fouche. A cornet solo by Mr. William Prince, selections by, the Crown City Quartet consisting of Messrs. William Prince, Arthur Prince, William Stroud and Armie Fouche, a piano solo by Miss McCullough and a tenor solo by Mr. Stroud, made up the program which was received with enthusiasm by the large audience. Professor Bartlett and his choir added to the enjoyment of the occasion by selections. Rev. A Milton Ward, the pastor spoke words of encouragement to the young men of the Fraternity. In his introduction of the speakers, McGregor, president of Alpha Delta Chapter added to his laurels by the eloquent manner in which he presented the distinguished guest. Malcolm H. Patton, First Vice President of Alpha Delta and Chairman of the Educational Campaign Committee, presided over the meeting in his usual pleasing manner.

GLADDEN, Jr. THE VALUE OF AN EDUCATION IN BUSINESS MAY QUEEN (By Wendell P. Gladden, Jr.) My lady brown Now wears a crown Of pink and red red roses; Black curls flow down On gauzy gown. While she in smiles reposes. Green shades and blue, And every hue Abound in scented bowers; Where maids entrance Who skip and dance Before her throne of flowers. Each maiden trips With tinted strips The May-Pole fast enfolding; And so the scene The dusky queen Sits quietly beholding. And still they play Until the day In joy serenely closes; My lady brown Has worn a crown Of pink, and red, red roses. CUB CAPERS By Leon Whitaker. The library seems to have lost its attraction for many of its most frequent habitues. We saw Miss Paige, Miss Cold, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Stovall standing outside (not incide) when they could have been studying. We didn't say that they were together. Rus William is trying to survey the entire campus all by himself with two assistants. This Rus is a smart feller. Lorenz Graham, the handsome corporal, has found a nice way to make money for the haberdashers. He allows some crook to steal all the clothes, then he goes and buys more. Speaking of clothes, this fellow Johnson continues to make the boys weep and the girls bat their eyes with his latest afternoon dress. Uncle Sam is surely nice to his male-men. Miss Hilda Johnson is going to surprise them all yet. She surely is consistent; never misses her Spanish class. Speaking of near-students and coefficients, George Green can't find any place to seek book reference but the Branch library. Maybe there are no insurance statistics downtown. Aw-w. We don't know who she is, but we heard that she vigorously denied being "Colored." We wish that she would come and see us. There are many things to instill pride and a conscientious desire for service into By Benjamin C. Colly. Since education and business have been given various meanings, it is best for us to choose a definition which will suit our consideration. The word education is derived from the Latin verb educere, meaning to lead out or from. From this definition many others have sprung, such as the following: Education is the imparting of knowledge. Again, education means the bringing out of man's powers—the unfoldment of those powers with which God has so perfectly endowed man. Milton goes further in defining education. He says in his "Tractate," "I call therefore a complete and generous Education that which fits a man to perform justly and magnanimously all the offices both private and public of Peace and War." But the meaning which we are to use is that education is to be regarded as training for the varied work of life—industrial, social, and political—in which knowledge is not an end but an incident, in which the student is learning to do things. Business has various meanings. It is defined as: employment, trade, something to be done or transacted. But the meaning we are to adopt here is that business is "the pursuit or occupation that requires energy, time and thought." Since education is learning to do things and business "is the energy, time, and thought required by these things, there are certain advantages when education and business go hand in hand. The first value of education in business is intellectual. In business man has problems which must be solved by thought. The training the business-man has received in school enables him to think and think logically. Every one can think but not all do think. And those who do htink do not think. And those who do dthing do not result of training. In school the pupil acquires a good memory and learns how to visualize. He learns the relative importance of things, which teaches him to systematize and arrange our very fairest nad most beautiful. Personally, we see no honor in being "Spanish" on the campus when one has to be "Colored" socially. However, some folks have strange notions. Time solves most riddles, even at that. Everybody here is working hard and willing under the terrific heat. The end is at hand. Erskine Raigland, the big brute, does all his studying between 12 p. m. and 5 a. m. He surely is ambitious. Sumner Thompson, the hero of Company B, has many activities. They aren't all academic either. We're watching you, Bo. Rodin must have cast his mind into the future and looked upon Miss Mathews when he is sculpted "The Thinker." You ought to see her between 9 and 10 at desk 2 in the libe. Business. If a man know his business, which he does if he has been trained, he can get just as much and sometimes more out of his business than he puts into it. The ratio between the energy expended and work accomplished is the efficiency. The man who accomplishes work equal to energy, time and thought that expands is a hundred per cent efficient. Efficiency increases the production of goods and services, it utilizes time advantageously, and it conserves energy rather than wastes it. It was only in the late war that we learned the value of efficiency. Germany showed the world what efficiency can do, although their efficiency had destructive tendencies. During the war Germany made use of everything with very little if any waste. America, which is opulent in resources, lost your modern business men who have not acquired an education in some school or college think that education is not necessary in business and that work and persistence are the only requirements. They forget to consider that their superintendents, managers of different departments, traveling salesmen, heads of their foreign factories, heads of their executive agents rae men who have acquired a liberal high or commercial education. They overlook the fact that the success of the business is due to the sum total of these men's productive and constructive thinking and not theirs. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Oakland Club Escapes Jinx by Channing Name to Delta Tennis Club. By William Mella Watson. 1555 Court St. Wilshire 3742 1923 Tennis scandal: Have you heard that those Oaklandites with the pretty and winsome maiden as the leader has changed its label to Delta Tennis Club in order to rid theirselves of a pronounced jinx, and the Federation sanctioned their act? That—Mrs. Hyner "Katy" Your and "Joe" Brown were selected by the Alpha Parthenial club to play the tournament at Alameda (Oakland in July?) There's a goof out here so backward that he thought the Boy Wonder was a Juvenile Meditation. Aln't but the one, Bud. them in logical order. The ability to do one's own thinking in business is of paramount importance. In studying for business in school one is trained in business psychology, which plays an important role in the business of today. Business of today is not simple like that of the past; it is complex and has many branches. Psychology aids the merchant in forecasting demands and supply of goods and commodities, in advertising his commodities in such a way as to bring in the best results; and in buying and selling of them with profit and without loss of time and energy. Psychology is very essential to the business manager. If he knows this science he can select "the right man for the place." He can give his men the correct training for difficult tasks. The second value of education in business is productive. Bankruptcy is bad business and shows a lack of business ability in some cases. Panics are the results of bad business. If a man understands the laws of economics there is little chance to go bankrupt except through means unusual. Since the consequence of bankruptcy is panic which prove disastrous to the nation as well as to the individual, and since economica is a remedy for such conditions, education is very essential in eliminating many bad features of business. A business man without any knowledge of economics is like a only with a mind. The man will not except control his course and determine his destiny. In studying economics the business man learns how to foretell, to an appreciable degree, future financial events and control the business cycle, which consists of the periods of depression nad expansion of business. In economies the student studies production, consumption, exchange, transportation, and distribution of wealth. He studies the evolution of money, banking, and financing. He is taught the laws of economics and how to solve economic problems. Summing it all up, he studies man and his means of obtaining a living. Education produces efficiency in Los Angeles Will Soon Be A City With a Population of 1,000,000 The rapid increase in population is bound to cause real estate to increase in value.

If a man know his business which he does if he has been trained, he can get just as much and sometimes more out of his business than he puts into it. The ratio between the energy expended and work accomplished is the efficiency. The man who accomplishes work equal to energy, time and thought that expands is a hundred per cent efficient. Efficiency increases the production of goods and services, it utilizes time advantageously, and it conserves energy rather than wastes it. It was only in the late war that we learned the value of efficiency. Germany showed the world what efficiency can do, although their efficiency had destructive tendencies. During the war Germany made use of everything with very little if any waste. America, which is opulent in resources, lost much through inefficiency. A great quantity of materials that was lost could have been saved if America had known the value of efficiency. Only that which is saved is gained. The third value of education in business is social. The business man in dealing with other people must consider that there are certain facts and principles which demand his attention. All people are human. None of them is a perfect saint; none of them is a mere animal—at least for business. Business wants them, all of them everyday in the year. It is no favor on the part of the business man to the people that he is in business. It is exceedingly favorable to him that he has the people to do business with. He cannot get along without them, but they can get along without him, for they can get another man in his place. All this means that a man's business power must respect the people. How is respectability acquired except through education? Education teaches man the value of the other man's welfare. All the people want the "Square Deal." The man who deals squarely with his fellowman is the one who is most likely to succeed in life. When people know that a man will transact business justly, they will trust him, have confidence in him, and back him in any reasonable undertaking. In school one learns how to be democratic and valuable square dealing. The social standing of a man in his community has an effect on his business. A man of a meager education is not always ranked very high socially. Society demands culture and refinement. Is a man born with these attributes? Does he have to be put through a process of training to acquire and retain them? It has always been that men and women with culture and refinement are those who have been educated. Socially, education, culture and refinement are synonymous. The educated man has many friends because he knows how to make them. He received his training from his association among fellow students in school. He can interest those with whom he comes in contact. He creates an atmosphere about himself that is instructive and agreeable. In conclusion I wish to state that education is business. All the advantages of education are components of business. If business was carried on without the aid of education, we would still be in the primitive state as far as business is concerned. Education makes business grow with civilization. Business as we know it now cannot be carried on without edu South 1540 cation. So, your modern business men who ha' not acquired an education in some school or college think that education is not necessary in business and that work and persistence are the only requirements. They forget to consider that their superintendents, managers of different departments, traveling salesmen, heads of their foreign factories, and their executive agents rae men who have acquired a liberal high or commercial education. They overlook the fact that the success of the business is due to the sum total of these men's productive and constructive thinking and not theirs. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES HIGH SCHOOL NOTES By William Narcisse Benjamin Colly, student at Jefferson High School, recently demonstrated his ability as an essay writer, by winning the cup offered by Hamburger, for the best essay on "Education in Business." Too much credit can not be given to "Bennie" for his achievement. Walker of Oakland High School, again proved to the public that he is a spinner of no mean ability by placing fourth in the 100 yd. dash and third in the 220 yd dash in the Pacific Association of the A. A. U. annual track meet at the University of California, last Saturday. This is a very creditable showing, as he ran against the best men California, Stanford, and the Olympic Club could produce. Bruce Jackson centerfield on Jeff's baseball team, played a great game against Manual, Thursday of last week. The Democrats took the contest 5-4, due to the excellent work displayed by Jackson, who fielded a thousand percent. He is the best Colored all-around athlete now attending high school. He is a two-year basket-ball man, two-year baseball man and played one year of lightweight football and was very adept in each. Last night at the First A. M. E. Church, was held the fourth annual Declaration Contest, in which nine schools were striving valiantly to annex the honors, and nine representatives each trying to win the coveted gold medal. The schools represented are: Lincoln, Los Angeles, Manual Arts, Polytechnic, Hollywood, Pasadena, Monrovia, Compton and Jefferson. Tomorrow at the Sojourner Truth Home will be held the annual tea for the winter and summer graduates of this year, and the alumni. Today at the new stadium, at Exposition Park the annual state track and field meet will be held. This meet will bring together the best athletes, representing the various high schools in California. It will also be the opening of the stadium, which was recently completed. All athletes winning a first place will be allowed to compete in the National meet, at Chicago, May 26. Archie Woodyard, Jefferson speed phenomenon, has a splendid chance to make the trip. He should place at least second in the 100 and win the 220 with ease.

W. ‘Bush was born in Bamberg, South Car- olina, August 1883 and came to live in New York City for a short time, after which she journeyed to Los An- geles. California, where she married Mr. J. W. Bish. She was very active in Church and Social Work, having organized the auxiliary to the Pull- man Porters Benefit Association, which proved to be qquite a success under her able guidance as President. She expressed her desire as a most devoted Christian of being perfectly contented + in leaving all_ worldly things behind. So that she might walk in the light on the Kings High- way. A few days before she was cal: ed away by the Master, she summoned all her family to her beside and par- ticularly gave her sistérly advice to her Brother that he migbht not stray from the path of Righteousness, She sald that she had not the slightest worry on her mind as to her husband, in fact she even told him that they would soon join hands together and walk in peace down the Kings High- way to Giory. She departed this life, April 18, at 4:25 p.m. as the Hymn of “Jesus Saviour Pilot Me" was sung, and leaves to mourn their loss a devoted husband. one sister, a broth- er nad a host of friends. : SORROW JUST SORROW By Charles L.

To have our clothing properly cleaned, pressed and’ repaired is a vital matter in our being rightly dressed und feeling and looking so.

Mexicali, Baja Mexico, May 9.—(Pacific Coast News Bureau) Special to Eagle. Seeking an opportunity to bring about a better understanding between the Mexican people and the colored Americans thru the establishment of a lasting memorial to the increasing friendship between the two races, one of the most important meetings that has ever been held between the two races was recently held in the beautiful San Francisco Cafe in Tia Juana, Mexico. Among those present were Lic. J. Inocente Lugo, Governor of Lower California; Louis G. Beltram, Mayor of Ensenada; R. D. Manriguis, Mayor of Tia Juana; R. D. P. Jorres, Mayor of Mexicali; Jose J. Montes, Chief of Palace of Tia Juana; Robt P. Fite of Los Angeles, formerly efficiency expert of the Ford Motor Co., of New York; and Hugh E. Macbeth, General Counsel of the International Community Welfare League of Los Angeles. To Establish $100,000 Sanitarium As a result of this conference plans were drawn and definitely concluded to erect a $100,000 health sanitarium at the sulphur springs in the Santa Clara Valley, Lower California. The sanitarium is to be built in units costing $10,000 per unit; the first unit having been subscribed by Mayor Louis G. Beltram of Ensenada in behalf of the Mexican residents of the Ensenada district, and who will be asked to purchase "bricks" at 50 cents each as a donation to assist in building this sanitarium which will be shared without discrimination by all citizens of Mexico, regardless of Race or color. Other units will be secured by the Mexican citizens at the solicitation of Mayor Beltram who has been appointed by Gov. Lugo as Superintendent of the campaign throughout Lower California. Under the supervision of Robt P. Fite, formerly efficiency expert of the Ford Co., of New York and later general distributor of the Cheviroth throat Southern California, with a reputation as the only representative that has ever sold $1,000,000 worth of Chevirots retail in 90 days, the citizens of Southern California and other communities will be asked to subscribe for the remaining units. An Eleemosnary Institution. Ten acres upon which is located the noted sulphur springs has been donated by the Lower California Mexican Land and Development Co., a Negro syndicate of Los Angeles, and deeded to the Sanitarium Corporation, which as an elemenosnary organization is composed of colored, white and Mexican personages, philanthropically inclined, who are interested in promoting a better feeling between the three races throughout Mexico where the Negro and other colored races are welcomed without prejudice. An Ideal Location. The sulphur springs noted by the Mexicans for years for their medicinal qualities lie in the beautiful Santa Clara Valley, about 40 miles by auto from the thriving Mexican seaport city Ensenada; and 60 miles from the Southern California city of San Diego. Situated amid the mountains and only a few miles from the sea, the climate is equal to that which has made the state of California famous. THE LEAGUE STILL LEADS Our recent victory in the Primary election is portentous. Again the California Citizens Cicic League goes on record for an overwhelming success. Our entire ticket carried with few exceptions. This result is due to our members nad friends. They no longer take things for "granted." The new day has produced a new Negro. This man is thinking. Once upon a time he allowed others to think for him. We rejoice that that condition no longer obtains. The Negro in "Politics" today is fast becoming a statist in the van. In public conflicts he is being trained and bred. He has been taught that "Politics is a science of government." Our people are learning that it is more than that—it is the science of handling men; that shrewd reckoning and balancing of one group against the other; by recognition of his political functions and an accurate understanding of policies he is able to forecast a logical outcome from propositional boundaries. The thinker insists that Politics is "the art and science" that have to do with the management of men in the mass; that this management is founded upon a proficient practice of elimination and concentration. The practical politician does not seek to inoculate the "innumerable caravan" of voters with new ideas, on the contrary, he searches not the basic ideas that are already us group. to thank every one of our heir invaluable assistance to re-elect Mayor Cryer. the interest of our other highly appreciated. headquarters at 1331 and give us your ship in the Califor- nue. your PEOPLE OF COLOR OF WEST AND GREAT EAST TO UNITE For the first time in the history of the world, a group of Western men of African lineage, met Wednesday evening and organized a temporary society whose aim and purpose, God willing, is to bridge the chasm between the oppressed racial groups of this Western world and the Mohameden world of the East. The founding of a society whose emblem is to be The Crescent of The House of Islam and whose philosophy is to be that of the consistent Musulman, is a fact of universal significance and in accord with divine plan, the founders declare. The meeting for permanent organization and the election of officers will be held next Wednesday evening at a place and hour to be announced later. Mr. H. H. Gordon, an authority on things Aethiopic and Egyptian and a distinguished racial leader is the chairman, of the present organization, Abdullah Galli, Arabic traveller and veteran of three African Wars, a native of Somaliland, East Africa, and Pedro Byres, poet, African explorer and chronologist are the founders and the three outstanding men, whose cosmic minds have seen the vision and possessed the zeal to succeed in forming this virile nucleus of Mohamedanism, a movement predestined to contact and unite the Black Men of the Western World with hte Afibic and Turkish Worlds of the Great East, whose Moslem ranks will sound the call for justice and present solidarity of purpose to the Nominal Christian Whites.

MODERN NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION TO MUSICAL ART (Mabel Travis Wood) Everyone knows that Negroes have given to America much of her most typical and beautiful folk music thru the spirituals and plantation songs that have grown out of the life of the race. But what musical art owes to the modern Negro composer is not so generally recognized. There is today a wealth of music both sacred and secular which has come from the penn of Negro composers. Some of ti is based upon the spirituals, and some of it is not racial in character. Such Negro composers as Harry T. Burleigh, S. Coleridge-Taylor, Will Marion Cook, R. Nathaniel Dett, Carl R. Diton, J. Rosamond Johnson, and Clarence Cameron White have during the past fifteen years written songs of rare melody and originality, songs that will live. Of late there has been a steady increase in the appreciation of musical compositions by Negroes both among white and colored groups, Church choirs have given over services to sacred compositions by Negro composers. Many women's clubs have devoted time at their sessions to the performance of religious compositions by Negro composers, especially the simpler choral works. Colored groups operating locally under Community Service have presented special programs of Negro music, combining the spirituals with songs by modern Negro composers. In New Haven, Connecticut, a festival of Negro music presented by a Negro community chorus and in Augusta, Georgia, a musical program made up largely of compositions by Negroes brought fresh musical knowledge and appreciation. The Bureau of Community Music of Community Service, 315 Fourth Avenue, New York City, is endeavoring to foster this growing interest and to acquaint more music groups, both white and colored, with the possibilities offered by compositions by modern Negro composers. A bulletin, "Music Composed by Negroes" has been prepared by this Bureau and is sent out at the nominal charge of ten cents. It lists the compositions of seven of the foremost Negro composers, telling for what combinations of voices and instruments they are arranged and where they may be secured. Examples of well-balanced programs of Negro music which already have been presented are given. To help groups desiring to take up the study of performance of Negro spirituals the bulletin mentions the best existing collections of this type of music. Community Service has made in this bulletin the first complete and satisfactory compendium of music by Negro composers. It will prove enlightening not only to Americans in general who may be unacquainted with the treasures that are contained in the storehouse of Negro music, but to colored groups which may not be familiar with all of the music that their race has produced. IN THE MUSIC WORLD By John A. Gray: The great Paderewski, that giant among pianists, has finished his concert tour for this season. He gave in all seventy recitals, and earned over a half million dollars. He is sixty-two years of age and is in great form physically. He lives for the most prat in his private car and practices many hours a day in order to keep himself in trim. For exercise he paces up and down the corridor of his car. On this tour he took his own cook, and American Negro, who has been with him for twenty-nine years. What a wonderful opportunity this man has had to know Paderewski as he is and how interesting his experiences would be to the world if they could be written. 0----00---- Under the supervision of Community Service, choruses are being formed in various parts of the United States for Negro singers. Geo. L. Johnson, one of the most prominent Negro singers and conductors in the United States, is in charge of the movement and has already established choruses in Parsons and Coffeyville, Kan., and Huntington, W. Va. Organizations are being planned in Dayton, Zanesville and Hamilton, Ohio; New Haven, Conn., and Knoxville, Tenn. Others of the forty colored centers throughout the country under the Community Service are also considering starting choruses. 0----00----0 Miss Edna Thomas, who specializes in Negro and Creole songs, was asked what made her first think of presenting them. She said: "Because I happened to hear some badly done. When I heard those quaint, fascinating old Creole and Negro songs which awake in me such poignant memories of forgotten corners of my own childhood—when I heard those delicate melodies trying to hide like frightened children from the huge orchestra which tried to distort them—to bury them under an instrumentation like piles of garments and belfowels never intended for them—I felt so badly that I sat down that very night and wrote to my mother that I was coming home to collect all the old songs that I could find and do them the way they should be done. "Their appeal is universal," says Miss Thomas. "all audiences love the beautiful melodies which the Negro songs have and they respond to that curious rhythm which they cannot define. Then the absolute sincerity that the Negro gives to the words of his songs and the quaint humor which all these songs carry—which comes' to the listener but must never be suggested by the interpreter or else this lovely music takes on a hint of the ridiculous. That is one reason why I wear the hoop skirt. In order to keep the dignity. We who love and understand these things wish to do everything in our power to keep people from taking them lightly." Miss Thomas is from New Orleans and expects to concertize in California next year. We are hoping that she will include Los Angeles in her list of cities. We regret that none of our own singers have awakened to the beauty of their heritage and since the death of Madame Azalia Hackley, we have been watching for signs of a new apostle.

But of the gentler graces lose not sight; If you can dance without a craze for dancing. Play without giving play too strong a hold Enjoy the love of friends without romancing. Care for the weak, the friendless and the old If you can master French and Greek and Latin. And not acquire as well a priggish mein. If you can feel the touch of silk and satin, Without despising calico and jean If you can ply a saw and use a hammer. Can do a man's work when the need occurs; Can sing, when asked, without excuse or stammer. Can rise above unfriendly snubs and slur. If you can make bread as well as fudges. Can sew with skill, and have an eye for dust If you can be a friend and hold no grudge A girl whom all will love because they must.
