EAGLE FOR PROGRESS FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN TELEPHONE: 829-244 A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL $2.00 THE YEAR VOLUME 37 DECEMBER 21, 1923 NO. 34 A MERRY CHRISTMAS County Jail Scandal Exposed On the tenth floor of the Hall of Records, last Thursday afternoon, the Civil Service Commission with Mr. Chappell in the chair, as acting judge, listened to the eight charges brought against Miss Rose Ruff, matron at the county jail by the Sheriff's office. Miss Ruff was represented by Atty Lineman, while the county was upheld by a Mr. Geo. W. Dowd of the Sheriff's office. After the eight charges had been read, all of which were flimsy and inconsistent, and if due any credit at all, about all one could say, is that they were deeply, dried by colored with prejudice. Among the first persons called to the stand was herder Thager himself, but his honor denied any first hand knowledge concerning the so called "riot" at the county jail, and beat a hasty retreat. It was then briefly discussed as to which side of the case would be heard first, and "judge" Chappell could see no reason why the defense should not offer His case first, but Atty. Lineman, with her very pleasing Irish accent pointed out wherein the defense would be helpless to defend without the prosecution first putting on witnesses to substantiate the charges brought forward against Miss Ruff, to show why she was unsuited for matronship at the county jail, and these witnesses were: Mr. Cronshorn, jailer; Mr. Miller, assist jailer; Mrs. Oreda Sullivan and Mrs. K. Waddell, matrons; Mrs. McDonald and Mrs. Anna Tiernan, inmates; and all of whom testified that Miss Ruff's method of dealing kindly with the girls had won for her their love, and esteem, and upon being closely questioned by Mr. Chappell as to whether or not this method contributed to disorder, rather than order, the prosecution was helpless in pointing out any instance when disorder prevailed under Miss Ruff. The prosecution made a strenuous effort to convict, but lost every point. Mr. Dowd, who was chief counsel to the prosecution used as his leading question which he did not hesitate eo put to each and every witness, "Did you ever see Miss Ruff kiss Rachel DeVine? (colored). Yes, came from several, while others of the prosecution witnesses floundered when the question was put and were uncertain as to whether Miss DeVine kissed Ruff, or Miss Ruff kissed Miss DeVine. The following witnesses testified for the defense, and, the weak and flimsy case of the prosecution fell to the ground, Rachel Devine, Babe Washington, Willie May Thompson, Genevieve Albritz, Ella Bradt, Eleonore Walling, Ramona Von Lippen, Louise Lynch, Bernice Dodge, and matrons. Mrs. Bartoo, Mrs. Francis Wallis, Mrs. J. C. Cole. A Net Work of Scandal The Ghost of Ex-Jailer Bailes 'Still Walks at the County, Jail Walks at The County Jail To say the least, out of all the testimony produced it disclosed a mos deplorable state of affairs, intrigue, prejudice and rank discrimination as between black and white criminals on the part of the jail officials. The ghost walked. Now Bailey and accusing Matron, Mrs. K. Waddell had sworn vengeance simply because Miss Ruff could discern no fault on account of the color of the pigment of one criminal from another. Evidence was brought out showing Bailey's hatred against colored prisoners also Mrs. Waddel's antipathy against them. In fact; the whole situation was nothing more or less than color prejudice, and disclosed the fact that Mrs. Waddel should have been the one on trial instead of Miss Ruff. Bailey long since walked the plank but seems to yet hang on the county pay roll in some lesser capacity than the Sheriff's office. Letter signed by the women prisoners give the real inside of "riot" at county jail. z. It is about time that the truth is published about the "riot" in the women's quarters of the county jail. To begin with, we have only four colored girls in our quarters, three at the time that the trouble started. One matron, Mrs. Waddell, had a failing of calling one of the girls "Toysey". When asked not to do it by one of the other colored girls she looked all three in the "dark cell" (enforcement cell). She then said the question that she had asked one of the girls what she was going to do about it. This nearly caused a riot amongst the white girls as these colored girls have a good deal whiter souls than those that are supposed to be white. So much for that. A very general remark was made by a Mrs.Tierman about another woman prisoner. When asked to retract this statement she liberated taunted the one she had slandered. Things that are trivial on the outside amount to mountains in here: Taunts in here where every one is high strung were a little more than this one girl could stand. Mrs. Tierman was neatly slapped on the mouth. When she went to the matron's department to report the argument, Mrs. Waddell opened the door. Mrs. Tierman, trying to get in all the words possible before refused admittance. Mrs. Waddell listened to her complaint and while Miss Ruff was in another room, slammed the door in Mrs. Tierman's face, saying, "Miss Ruff is on duty, if she can't the girls quiet she hasn't any business in the capacity of matron". Then "Bang!" goes the door. Now, we all realize that we are prisoners and that therefore we should not criticise our superiors. But where are we to go when we need protection, if not to the matron? If said protection is denied us there, where are we to go and what are we to do? Exactly what we did do—take it in our own hands. When Mrs. Waddell was ready to go home, about thirty of the thirty-nine prisoners were grouped about the door. Mrs. Waddell was asked by the "entire company" to repudiate the statement made about Miss Ruff. Understand this, we did not demand an apology, but asked politely that the statement be retracted. The girls blamed, principally the ten that were taken downstairs, were not "leaders" in the group that was by the door. The girls were led by Helen June Osborn. I am within my bounds when I say led and sincerely believe that I am not making too broad an assertion when I make that statement. The mentioning of the names hasn't and bearing on the case now, as Miss Osborne has been assured of her probation, from the results of turning against Miss Ruff when at first she was for her. Mrs. Waddell asked us if we should like to have our privileges taken away for a week, then asked Miss Ruff to open the door.Miss Ruff opened it without hesitation, altho she has been accused of refusing, and Mrs. Waddell passed out. Next morning we were grilled by Mr. Cranshorn. Everyone knew nothing except what I have told. altho two of the inmates sware that we had planned to take the key from her. Altho accused of being one of the "ring leaders". I knew nothing of this. Later in the morning a fire was started. None worked harder than the accused "ten" to put it out. We were questioned about this, Mr. Crane-shorn had no more than reached the downstairs office when another fire was started. Again we worked and again we were questioned. This time all the girls were in the hall talking with Mrs. Dorr. Some of the accused were even downstairs conferring with their attorneys. Again we were questioned. The number being reduced each time. By this time we know that some of us were bound for the "dungeon", it was eas to see which way the wind was blowing. When the fourth fire was started most of us (the ten) were in the back dormitory. Three of us were talking to Mrs. Suillivan, the matron on duty. Still we were blamed. All questioning was waived this time. Ten of us were lined up, Genevieve Albitz, Bernice Dodge, Willie May Johnson, Leanne Grapech, and Jake Washington were put in one dungeon and Ella Bradt, Eleanor Walling, Rachell DeVine, Pauline LaMarr and Romona Von Lippen in the other one. We were in the dungeon tank possibly three hours when the girls began to faint, Bernice Dodge and Pauline LaMarr had to be carried upstairs to the matron's department. Willie May Johnson and Genevieve Albitz had to be taken to the doctor's office because of this we were removed to tank 18. We have absolutely no complaint to make of our treatment down stairs. The jailers, Mr. Higgins, Mr. Miller, and George Frank are head trusty, were strict, but wonderfully kind. The papers have published, everything but the truth in this case. We stood together and came back together. Romana Van Lippin and Genevieve Alblitz had to be removed to the hospital. Geraldine Creble, who demanded to be brought down later, was sent to San Quentin. Louise Lynce was released on bond. We were down stairs four nights and four days. We could have been back upstairs by apologizing, but why should we apologize for something we did not do? Mrs. Waddell was induced by Mr. Cranshorn to apologize to us and thereby admitting her guilt. We compromised by saying that we would behave ourselves if taken back upstairs. The papers, that printed the story that we begged to return upstairs, printed an absolute falsehood. Miss Ruff is loved by all the girls for the simple reason that she treats us as women should be treated. Not with sarcasm or with the insinuations that we are crazy and should be treated as the inmates of Patton, which Mrs. Waddell does. Miss Ruff has never, to my knowledge, had a girl disobey her. She asks, not commands, and I can truthfully say that there isn't a girl but that loves her for these qualities. Mrs. Waddell entered the living room one morning and sweetly remarked, "What do you think, girls? I had to borrow car fare from an utter stranger to come t work this morning. I locked up my pocket book in order not to tempt the girls and went home and forgot it." Nice remark, yes? I am writing this for the girls and in behalf of Miss Ruff, who is unjustly accused. Anything that we can do towards lightening things, we are only too glad to do. Mr. Higgins, Mr. Miller and Mr. Craunshaw also-Miss Ruff, may be assured that we will do our level best and that they can depend on us. Now you have the truth in regards to the riot, as far as we know it.

Jalier Cronshorn has written a letter to the board correcting his testimony to a great extent. The board took the case under advisement. Miss Red, only lights for vindication and stands under the conditions existing at the county tail she would not go back under any condition. (Continued in next issue) DR. EUGENE C. NELSON No Holiday issue of the California Eagle would be complete without a line about this popular and progressive Physician and Surgeon; always to the forefront and a strong supporter of racial enterprise, he has during the past year initiated a movement along business lines which will be of inestimable value to the future progress of the race. It was in the fertile brain of Dr. Nelson that the idea for the formation of the Commercial Council originated; and he immediately put the thought into action and every since that time there has been a decided improvement along the line of business opportunity. We appreciate it very much when our professional men will take the time to be a part, and parcel of the people and assist along the line of their material welfare JUDGE J. W. SUMMERFIELD OF THE SUPERIOR COURT The name of Judge J. W. Summerfield, as a result of his wonderful service on the bench of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, has gone forth to the four corners of the earth, as a judge of unusual capacity for the dispensation of justice. As an arbiter in the divorce court, he has a record equalled by few and surpassed by none. The people of Los Angeles are proud of the achievements of Judge Summerfield, for he is truly one of them. He has been with them in all their trials and efforts to rise, and has never forsaken them, and he never will, for the people long since recognizing his sterling worth with almost a unanimous vote, expressed their confidence in him. He has never betrayed their trust, he has more than made good, and no man stands higher in their estimation than this eminent jurist, J. W. Summerfield. We have looked for him to even ascend to higher fields of effort and that he will dispense justice on the Supreme court of our land. The doctor a pronounced success himself is wholly unselfish and is doing all in his power to assist the race in its onward march. PULLS A BONER RIGHT OFF THE REEL On last Saturday evening, the new head of the vice squad, Captain Plummer, with almost the first stroke against vice, pulled off a spectacular raid and swooped down on the office of Dr. E. C. Nelson, 1339 E. 12th St., without any warrant or other authority, broke open the door and searched the premises in quest of a still. They gave as an excuse that they received an anonymous call over the phone that a still was in operation at that address. Dr. Nelson's brother, who was on guard at the office, says the men were rough, and forced him to get in one room, while the premises were being searched, and one of the officers called him yile names and said: "I don't like Niggers anyhow." Of course n ostill was found. Now we feel that these officers exceeded their authority and when conducting a raid on any reputable physician or other person should at least be armed with a warrant. No doubt some enemy of Dr. Nelson inspired the raid and Capt. Plummer, gave them a hand by responding. If anybody thinks, for one moment, that the doctor will stop short of getting satisfaction they have another thought coming. Look for particulars in our next issue. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, noted Eastern Educator and president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, will spend the winter in Club women are showing much interest in the coming Banquet honoring Miss Hallie Q.

At the 11 o'clock service Dr. Prowd proached a very timely sermon from Joshua 23:11—"Not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you!" It was indeed a just presentation of the goodness of God to His unworthy children, which calls for thanksgiving and praise; and furnishes good reason for faith on our part for the continuance of His providential care. It was truly a time for testimony of mercies received. At the usual hour Mrs. Bass presided over the session the B. Y. P. U. and carried out a good program. The subject, "Christian Inventory," was able and generally discussed, Mrs. Bass guided the proceedings.

Negroes in 47 cities are now enjoying programs of community recreation, announces the Playground and Recreation Association of America, which materials the Bureau of Colored Work of Community Service. Prof. Ernest T. Attwell, an outstanding Negro thinker, directs the field work of this Bureau. He has made community play his profession, so that he can help his race to obtain much needed play facilities and play leadership. Wholesome and abundant play, thak many authorities on social conditions and race relations, can make one of the strongest contributions to Negro progress. America's more than ten million colored citizens, whether they live in the South or in the North, the city or the country have found few opportunities for the right kind of recreation open to them. In many sects normal social life for Negroes is entirely lacking. But both colored groups and their towns and cities have lately been turning their attention to this problem. The present 47 effective programs of community recreation for Negroes are offesing a shining example. Community Service recreation programs for Negroes are supported by contributions from colored people, often helped by white friends and by the city government. In Norfolk, Va., the city appropriates $5,000 each year toward the colored Community Service Work. Organized emmunity play activities among Negroes include playgrounds for children, boys' and girls' clubs, music dramatics, athletics for folks of all ages and social evenings. In many cases the activities center around a community house, such as the one in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which has been attended by more than 1,000 colored people a month. Douglass Community House in Kalamazoo, Michigan, is the center of social life for the Negroes of the city and its influence also extends out into the country. Not only have these community programs fostered health and fun and neighborhood among Negroes, but through their artistic side they have enriched the life of cities as a whole. The "Festival of Negro Music" presented by the colored Community Service of New Haven, Connecticut, made musical history in that city. No other people can sing the Negro spirituals with the same sympathy and spontaneity as colored people, and the performances of the spirituals as well as of music by modern Negro composers by colored community choruses in a number of cities has helped to preserve this typically Negro music and to familiarize all with its beauty. A recent pageant of Negro progress in Rockofrd, Ill., brought out a large crowd of both white and colored people and received enthusiastic praise from leading white citizens. In cities which support Departments of Recreation, special recreation for Negroes has often been arranged. During 1922, seventy cities maintained playgrounds exclusively for the use of colored children, reports the Playground and Recreation Association of America. Indianapolis has set aside for the recreation of her colored citizens a tract known as Douglass Park, equipped with playgrounds, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, horseshoe pitching courts and a huge concrete swimming pool built at a cost of $70,000. Colored play leaders are in charge. The way in which Indianapolis colored folks have been flocking to enjoy this park proves how much in need of just such recreation they have been. Though public recreation facilities are needed by all, they are especially needed by Negroes, who as a rule can get no recreation except the expensive and often degrading commercialized kind. Splendid laws recently passed by the states of Iowa and Illinois should be of interest to all Negroes living in these states who desire playgrounds, parks and other public facilities for wholesome recreation in their cities. These laws oblige city or town to submit the playground and recreation proposition voters if a petition to this effect has been signed by a small proportion of the voters—10 per cent in Illinois, and 15 per cent in Iowa.

In speaking of fighting editors who stand up to the rack, in season and out of season, we cannot fail to mention the brilliant and forceful Lieutenant W. A. Betts of the Wichita Protest. And we congratulate his successful effort in thwarting the Birth of a Nation in his home town. WE ARE ON OUR WAY. Regardless of who runs for President and who guides the destinies of the several candidates, we are on our way for greater progress along all the various lines of effort. We find that it is after all largely a matter of opinion as to who is the most desering and stands up for the people. Colonel Jack Dempsey, coached and advised by his side-kick, Major General Jack Kearns, are demonstrating propaganda spreading to the utmost for the following result—to make all the money possible for the pair of them and by all means to avoid meeting Harry Wills, who without doubt, would wreck of the syndicate. On last Monday evening the Eagle Editorial Staff gave to the Eagle force a rousing banquet in appreciation of their loyalty and service for the year 1923. The affair was just as great and grand as it was possible for us to make it, for we stopped at neither pains nor expense. Both our Managing Editor and our Auto Editor worked like trojans to make the affair a grand success. When Judge Taney, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court handed down the Dred Scott Decision in 1856, he little suspected it would be one of the most remarkable travesties in the annals of legal jurisprudence, to the effect that the "Black man had no rights that the white man was bound to respect". This startled the legal and thinking minds of the world, as well as these human chattels, then bound and fettered and manacled by the yoke of slavery. Though their condition then was already abject to the third degree, so much so as to almost lose faith in humanity, yet with silent fortitude and aching hearts, they kept on in their belief in a higher power. Years later from the epochal moment, civil war broke out and raged throughout the land, only ending in broken chains for these chattels and the emancipation of this mass of crucified humanity, steeped in ignorance and poverty—stricken with this new heritage of freedom bravely turned toward the unknown future. Under the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments of the Constitution of the land, statutes were framed guaranteeing them all the rights and privileges that citizenship entails, and that no legislation could be made to abridge his rights on account of color, or previous condition of servitude. But at the close of this dreadful war, the disgruntled South and its sympathizers, filled with the gall of hate and bitter defeat, and seeing the end of their most cherished institution (that of slavery), which had brought wealth and a uence to their door, finding themselves impoverished and no longer able to use the Black man as a chattel legally, then they began those devilish machinations of insidious and deadly propaganda directed against the rights of their former slaves. Racial hate was constantly tanned by scurrilous newspapers and the population of the south, that they had grievances against the Black man, as an economic force, and in the new constituted democracy, this action of the press forced the states and government to do many things not sanctioned by justice, and to make this more effective, the cry of "Black Supremacy" sounded throughout the land. Little by little their rights were abridged all over the South until becoming emboldened by the non-interference of the Federal Government, the Ku Klux Klan was organized in the South, in one of the states that at the beginning of the civil war was first to secede. This noxious Klan, or invisible empire, as they chose to be called, conceived in the womb of racial hate and ignorance, had its birth at a time when the country's condition was in a chaotic state in the aftermath of the late war. Already their cowardly and infamous methods, with their reign of murder and outlawry are being taken in hand by the thinking men of the land, and their own officials appeal to the President to wipe it out, or its cheap political power and organized red spirit, will disrupt the tenet of the Constitution and the usurpation of the laws will give way and the forces of evil enthroned. With the mountainous forces to combat, from adverse rulings of the Supreme Court, racial hates, prejudices and labor troubles, in which we figure as an economic force, the condition of the Negro (while grave) forms quite an advancement to the position held when the Justice of the Supreme Court handed down his infamous decision, which seemingly at that period, took all hopes from us—the memory of which comes reverberating forth from the walls of time. Already we have outlived these forces of evil. We have gone on through it all. The silent forces of Justice are at work and we have already taken a new spirit of racial consciousness and unity. We expect to hold our own and advance slowly in racial progression, until the full rights of the Constitution have been achieved and the protection of the Stars and Stripes spreads its protecting arms over all American citizens alike! "We have no rights which the white man is bound to respect" has melted into "One Big Brotherhood" of man.

Goodcell. Approximately $3,000,000 in claims filed in the Southern California District by 2,000 income taxpayers are affected by the line of policy announced.

(2) In cases where prior to the enactment of the Revenue Act of 1918 a return was filed under the Revenue Acts of 1926 and 1917, and after the passage of the Revenue Acts of 1918, no return was filed unded that Act, the five year period of limitation for the making of assessments is not applicable, and assessments for that period may not be made at any time.

(4) In cases where no return was filed either under the Revenue Acts of 1916 and 1917, or under the Revenue Act of 1918, the five year period of limitation is not applicable, and assessments may be made at any time. In income and profits tax cases where the taxable year is a fiscal year ending during the year 1918, the time from which the five year period for making refunds and credits begins to run is as follows: (1) In cases where prior to the enactment of the Revenue Act of 1918 a return was made under the Revenue Acts of 1916 and 1917, and after the passage of the Revenue Act of 1918, a return was made under that Act, either by the taxpayer or by the Commissioner, a collector, or a deputy collector, if the taxpayer made no return, the five year period begins to run from the due date of the return made subsequent to the passage of the Revenue Act of 1918, which is the due date provided under that Act.

(4) In cases where no return was made under either the Revenue Acts of 1916 and 1917, or under the Revenue Act of 1918, either by the taxpayer, or by the Commissioner, a collector, or a deputy collector, the five year period is not applicable. REVENUE. 218 Federal Building, Los Angeles, Calif. PROMISES ? ? ? ? SAVING Participation by many communities in Southern California in the natural resources of the Colorado River was brought a long stride ahead of realization by the announced decision of the Board of Public Service Com- missioners of Los Angeles City to seek additional water and water-power supplies from the Boulder Canyon section of the river. The Los Angeles City Board declared that securing a fraction of the Colorado's flood for that city was an absolute necessity for two reasons: First, because the demands upon the city's municipal power and light systems already exceed its supply; and second, because the present Los Angeles aqueduct capacity provides for only 2,000,000, which population, according to William Mulholland, chief engineer of the aqueduct, will be reached by Los Angeles within the next ten years. That the water and water-power projects of Los Angeles City are inseparable and that power as well as water for Los Angeles' use must be developed at the Colorado River to build and operate the proposed aqueduct, and augment the present power and light system of the Angel city, were positive declarations of Chief Engineer Mulholland. Mr. Mulholland asserted that this would be the opening wedge in the coming battle to assure participation by all those communities in Southern California topographically located to receive water and water power from the Colorado's flood. He said the building of the proposed aqueduct would be a colossal undertaking and that it should be done on a scale commensurate with the bigness of Los Angeles. Certification that Los Angeles' Municipal Power and Light Bureau was earning a surplus despite the low rates it charges for municipally owned and operated power and light was made recently in an audit-report by Price, Waterhouse & Company, nationally known public accountants. The surplus earned in the year ending June 30th, last, was fixed at $2,693,624.34 and the earned surplus since the Bureau began operations was $5,423,203.76. Chief Electrical Engineer E. F. Scattergood, of the Municipal Power and Light Bureau, declared that the saving in power and light rates to the people under the rates charged in communities outside of Los Angeles, exceeded $20,000,000 since the power bureau began business. Scattergood assorted that revenue from the proposed aqueduct and power development from the Colorado River would go far toward helping pay it. REDLANDS, CAL. REDLANDS, CAL. Both Sunday Schools had their Xmas exercises and tree Monday evening; Christmas evening a wonderful sermon was held at the Second Baptist Church, at which time, Rev. W. C. Young, of San Bernardino, preached a wonderful sermon. Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Young and daughter, of San Bernardino, were in the city Christmas Day, visiting Rev. and Mrs. Dones, of Alta Street. The little folks of the city were entertained at a party given by Class No. 2 of Second Baptist S. S. The party was given at the home of Mrs. Jessie Taylor, 103 E.

GRIFFITH, Manager LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA In The Messenger For January Text: And the Lord Said unto Me, "Amos, What Seest, Thee?" And I said, "A Plumb Line." Then said the Lord, "Behold, I will set a Plumb Line in the midst of my people, Israel." At times, you will note that the Lord makes His message into a striking dream, that is, He holds a plumb line, and makes it talk to His people. "Behold, I will set a Plumb Line in the midst of Israel." The plumb line here referred to, is God's method of teaching and it is very effective, and again it is used in the form of an application, and it sings as of fire, touching the very souls of men. Whenever the Lord wants to use us, He calls us each by name. The Lord called Saul by name when he came near Damascus, so it was with Amos. The plumb line is the similarity of love. For God is love. If we be guided by the plumb line, it means that we belong to God, and that God belongs to us. It means that we are satisfied with God, and that God is satisfied with us; it means that God and we are one in love, and again, the plumb line here dropped into such a fellowship, reveals that in a straight line, in God, in us, is one and the same straight line; i. e., God and us and one in all things. What is God's message to the World, through the plumb line? I answer by saying, "Man is a responsible creature; he is responsible to himself, he is responsible to his fellowmen, and he is responsible to his God. Man's responsibilities are the most solemn fact in all of his history, and that is because he has a deal with God. What is the plumb line?—Christ is the plumb line. —GEORGE W. BRIGHT. M. G.

It was the "Herald," Ardmore's yellowest journal. !!ASSEMBLYMAN JOHN PETERS MURDERED!! YOUNG NEGRO IN JAIL CHARGED WITH THE CRIME!! shrieked the headlines. The attorney uttered an exclamation and with scarcely a glance at the pictures illustrating the article, scanned it hurriedly. "John Peters, Assemblyman from the 41st District, was stabbed to death last night on North Boulevard, near Nineteenth, by a young Negro who gave the name of D. Douglas. He was arrested by Officer James MacDonald. "That officer, who was rushed to the scene by an eyewitness to the crime, nabbed the murderer crouching over the body of his victim. Robbery prompted the deed, as the assassin, when collared, held an envelop he had just taken from the dead man's pocket, containing several hundred dollars in currency. The arrested man stoutly maintained his innocence. He declared he saw Peters lying on the pavement, thought him ill and stopped to help him. "Douglas is a stranger in Ardmore, having arrived here from the East a few days ago. He was employed by Randolph Carrol, vice President of the Standard Auto-Equipment Company as chauffeur. His young bride of two weeks is with him. When she learned of her husband's arrest, she firmly reiterated her belief in his innocence. "Peters was well known in political and club circles, and his death comes as a shock to many. It is t obe hoped that this time the authorities will not let the perpetrator of a cold-blooded and brutal murder escape without paying the full penalty for his crime." The last sentence made Lester smile family, the words "this time" a mild slam at Farwell Nichols, the Brilliant but unpopular district attorney, who had already been subjected to some caustic criticism by reason of his failure to convict in three sensational cases, within the last six months. Moreover, Farwell Nichols was a southerner of distinctly prejudiced tendencies, which had been accentuated in the case of Lester, the only Colored attorney in Ardmore, who had scored over him in two different legal actions during his term of office. Lester then glanced at the cuts. He knew John Peters in a way. It was the picture of D. Douglas, the alleged murderer, that held his horror-stricken attention. For a moment he stared at the pictured presentation of a broad-shouldered youth, dark of skin but well featured—Donald Douglas! Lester's mind leaped back across three year of time, and through his memory there flashed the picture of a dinghy bobbing over the blue waters of Lake Adrian. He was in that dinghy, exulting boyishly in the joy of his first sail, while a short distance away a power boat was running him a friendly race. A quick turn of the rudder—a sudden gust—and he was struggling in the water, struggling clumsily, helplessly, futilely, for he had not yet learned to swim. In an awkward effort to save himself, he struck his head against the side of the boat. Stunned, blinded by apray, choking and gurgling, he felt himself engulfed. At that crucial moment he was seized by powerful arms and pulled aboard the motor boat. When he had somewhat recovered, his rescuer, a bronze giant, a stairwright young athlete, had laughingly introduced himself as Donald Douglas. This pictured face was unquestionably that of the man who had saved his life. Now, a stranger in a strange city, he was in prison, accused of an atrocious crime, enmeshed in the deadly net of circumstantial evidence! The waiter appeared with a tray. Lester signed his check, and leaving the meal untainted, hurriedly departed for his office. There he stopped only long enough to give a terse message to his stenographer. "Tell Tommy we won't serve these papers on Peter's—be his dead. I'll be back in an hour." And thus it came about that when Lester Logan and Donald Douglas sat for the second time, their greetings were exchanged through a gratitude of steel. "I can't begin to say how grateful I am. Lester," began Donald, rather briskly. "Don't try to, old man," said Lester briskly, as he drew up a chair. "You see, neither Alice nor I know a soul in Ardmore—except the Standard People, and they turned me down when I asked them to help me! I suppose they think I did it." he added, bitterly, "And now Alics—" Best easy, as far as she's comed. Don, old boy," exclaimed Les-warmly. "A dear girl whom I will take care of her until we can sort out this scrape." Donald and for a moment did not trust much to speak. Lester tacitly and himself, shattering a peculiar tale, told me exactly what he pened last night," he said, finally. Donald said his employer stayed late at the plant; he had then driven him to the railroad station, there Carroll had taken the 11:30 train for San Francisco. Donald had started back to the factory garage with the car, and had been driving slowly in his roadster down North Boulevard when he noticed, by the light from the street lamp, the body of a man lying half in shadow, in the entrance to a store. "As I slowed up at the curb I heard a groan. Thinking the man was sick or hurt, I jumped out and ran to help him. He was lying on his face. When I turned him over, I saw the sidewalk covered with blood! It—it almost unnerved me! But I noticed the poor devil kept trying to gasp out something, clutching his hand to his breast. I thought he wanted to open his coat. I started to help him—and my hand touched the handle of a knife. It—it was buried to the hilt—" The young man broke off with a shudder. "Take it easy, old man," admonished Lester, writing rapidly. "He was still trying to speak—I bent over to hear, and caught the word 'box.' I'm sure he repeated 'box' two or three times. And then—God, Lester! I'll never forget that horrible rattle in the poor fellow's throat—he—he died right in my arms!" Donald's face went white with the horror of the memory and his lips twitched. "And then—" prompted the young attorney. "I laid him down, and at the same time saw something white on the pavement beside the body. I hardly knew what I was doing—I picked it up—it seemed to be an envelope, a large thick envelop with papers—and as I started to get up two men ran at me. One was an officer. He grabbed me by the collar, handcuffed me—"And the other?" asked Lester quickly. "I couldn't see his face well in such a light, but he was excited and kept repeating over and over again that he saw me stab that man! Lester, did he lie in cold blood? Or—or maybe he really thought he saw me do it!" The young man slumped down despairingly and buried his face in his hands. "Come, come!" urged Lester, energetically. "You said the dying man repeated the word box.' Did you see a box of any kind—" "No, no—nothing like that! Only that accursed envelop that turned out to have money in it—And they said I stole it—" "That's all right," soothed the young attorney, writing busily. "I'll look after that. Cheer up," as he finished, and roge from his chair. "Lester, tell me—" question the prisoner, rather huskily. "What do you think...." "I know you're innocent, Don. And believe me, I will leave nothing undone to prove it, to restore you—" he added, smiling, "to liberty and—your little wife. I'll see that she's well cared for, old boy, and I'll get her a pass to see you tomorrow." As Lester passed thru the grim portals of the jail out onto the street, a swirling gust of wind almost anmatched his cap from his head, and the chillness of the breeze was such that he stopped at his office to don a high-collared overcoat before sallying forth on his trip of investigation. Mere trifes, seemingly irrelevant and in the natural course of things, but, by the irony of fate, destined to play and important part in the drama of life and death that centered about the prisoner. Donald Douglas. The Street Cleaning Department of Ardmore had taken no action as yet at the corner of North Boulevard and Nineteenth. It was a poor neighborhood, marked by vacant lots, empty stores, and tumbledown shacks, for the most part abandoned. The district had been given over to the homes of factory workers, who, with the coming of the war time prosperity, had left for more desirable localities. In the entrance to a vacant store, in a one-starled brick building on the corner, a large red-brown stain marked the spot where John Peters had met his death. Lester, looked about carefully but discovered no trace of anything resembling a box. A miscellaneous collection of trash littered the gutter, and for some minutes the young attorney raked through it with a stick, without discovering a particle of any size, he suddenly perceived a small black box and hurriedly picked it up. He examined it minutely. It was of lacquered tin, without a lid, and in size about three inches long, two inches wide and an inch deep. And then, as though subconciously aware of another's presence, Lester looked up and saw a man watching him from around the corner of the store building, about a hundred feet away. At the same moment the stranger came forward with jerky and at the same time slightly dragging steps. He was obviously striving to see the object Lester had picked up—and which the attorney instinctively concealed as he observed the man's siggier appearance to see it. We have endeavored to point out clearly how deep rooted is the spirit of the college fraternity, as in other organizations where mutual understanding and cooperation are factors. More than this, the relationship of fraternity man was discussed, not in detail, but sufficiently to stimulate interest and thought. These are fundamental ideas. The actual programs are worked out only after careful, concerted and intelligent action, based upon openness of atm. Now we shall consider the college fraternity from another angle. Fraternities create desire in the members for high scholarship attainment. In many of the large universities the grades of the various fraternal groups are placed on the bulletin boards where students and faculty may ascertain their standings. This method in itself has unlimited influence has a tendency to uphold the standards of the institutions. Sometimes prizes are awarded, and honor is given to those who merit such distinction. It will be found that fraternity men top the lists of the scholars because of the competition and urge, and the honor and glory necessarily redound to their organizations. Scholarship attainment can not be emphasized too much. During the regular sessions the various clubs and groups encourage well rounded development on the part of all students. It is not the daily routine of study alone which makes for the all-round college man, but participation in the activities about the campus and in the community whenever possible and practicable. Dramatics, athletics, debating, rallies all have their peculiar attraction, and new students and old display talent. And those who have possibilities of developing are given opportunity thereby. But back of all the ambition of the men their brothers are giving them aid and encouragement. They know how much any honor will mean to the fraternity. In politics social activities, and the Y. M. C. A. lies a wide field for worth-while endeavor not only for personal satisfaction and help, but for fellow-students who need the contact of elevating personalities and inspiring souls. The kindly word, the good strong hand-shake, and interest shown others will serve as a boomerang and in the days to come those same students will show their gratitude. Here is another grand opportunity for fraternity men to make college life more beneficial and make life-long friends. Constant consideration for others in college pays. There are many students in college who do not desire affiliation with the fraternity. Nevertheless, fraternity men should not be partial, and too discriminating with them. Association and helpfulness will mean much to them. They will begin to see how much can be accomplished through co-operation and friendliness. If they have been regarding the fraternity men as students holding themselves aloof from the mass of students, they will show a different attitude when they learn that the attempt is ever for achievement and fellowship. Service in the community, based upon love and devotion is the grand opportunity awaiting men of the fraternities. These selected men of the campus and class-room and of the community are regarded as leaders. Much is expected of them. Let them not disappoint those older men who have treaded similar paths to hein goals in the various vocations of life. The development of the human soul should be parambant and the ultimate end of the efforts of the college fraternity. Style Suggestions Mile, Dorothy Armstrong. The blue crepe de chine suit, which is practical for hot weather, having a pleated skirt and sleeveless straight-line jacket, worn over a blouse and with lingerie pinafore collar, the hem turned up on the right side and corded with rose color. Yards upon yards of taffetas in changeable and plain colors, plus yards upon yards of lace and net ruffles—some of which are ribbon bound, go to make up one charming trock worn at the Savoy Hotel recently. On a belge color coat applique embroidery worked with goatskin is very clever. A French Blue Canton Faille Cape costume is made with a triple flounce arrangement. A suit trock of navy blue is trimmed in red. Net blouses worn with jacquets are very new. Circular and pleated fountains are noted on soft crepe and foulard frocks. The Bouffant skirt still reains is Black and white are the very much worn colors for sports wear. A clever little trock for the younger Miss is of French poacher combined with beard. (By Wendell P. Gladden, Jr.) II. On other occasions John played his violin. He loved it. It was his great ambition to master this most difficult of string instruments. He rendered classical and jazz music with ease. John had acquired that poise and technique which stamps the great virtuoso. There were times when with the wide sweep of bow and the quick manipulation of his strong long fingers, the Young Master, as they called him about the campus, brought forth beautiful and touching music that held the boys smiled. There were expressions of joy and gladness at times. Then familiar strains rose. Home thoughts, love of the great out-of-doors and the sea, the birds, and trees; of adventure of war, and of peace. These were the hours of happiness for the boys. Sometimes there were tears welling up in eyes which had sparkled with joy of living and activity. All their sacrifices, and strivings for knowledge, their self-defensals, seemed worth-while during the thrill of those memorable moments, and the spell of exquisite music. Yes, John Hartsook was truly the Young Master; and everyone loved him. Football practice began in earnest about the middle of October. The Young Master, although a good player, was a little "soft" as he expressed it to me. Sometimes we would rise early in the morning for a jaunt of five or six miles, returning in time to prepare for breakfast. Occasionally we would wrestle and go through with some exercise in the gymnasium. When I had heard him play that last night at the sorority house, I cautioned him against playing the rugged American game. But he would not heed my warning. He was in college to make good in anything he attempted. It was not such a long grind for the Young Master to condition, himself for the grid-Iron I felt that he would make the team. He was a wonderful, end and also a backfield player of no mean ability. So I concluded he would fit it in one of the positions. Practice, line-plunging, tackling, signals, bucking, were the things that made life a continuous swirl for us. We were determined to make the team, nevertheless, nad wear the coveted sweater and letter which all college men prize so highly. BLACKIE RICE RETURNS TO LOS ANGELES FROM ARIZONA Blackie Rice, classy, middleweight formerly of New York, but now of Los Angeles, returned recently from Arizona where he engaged in a ten round bout. It was Blackie's from start to finish. He had been here only a few days when the Madison Square Garden Arena celebrated its re-opening under the management of Fred Windsor, formerly Dempsey, manager. A double Main Event was scheduled but one of the fighters failed to enter the ring, so Blackie substituted. His opponent was Mexican Battling Ortega, who was almost unbeatable in his prime, and still a hard man to combat. Rice had not trained for the fight, consequently, he was not in the very best condition, but he won the favor of the fans by his repeated attacks and boxing skill in the first two rounds. Although he tired slightly afterwards, he was never in danger. He fought a good draw against a man who weighed twenty pounds more than himself. Blackid knows the boxing game, as attested by his clever fighting tactics and wonderful foot-work. He is the kind of fighter the fans like; clean, agressive, with a fighting heart. His followers and admirers predict a great future for him in the postgladiate 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.

South 1540 IN THE MUSIC WORLD By: John A. Gray It is interesting to read what the great musicians have to say about their art and how they work. Perhaps if more students read what these great ones had to say they would be more patient and work harder. The following extracts are taken from an interview with Madame Sigrid Onegin, the Scandinavian contralto, who was a sensation at the Metropolitan last season. The interview was published in the Etude for June. "The true artist must always study and also must work very hard. I for one, have learned the value of hard work. There is no resting on one's laurels, even if they are possessed; one must always keep up to the mark. I give at least a full hour or more every day to vocalizing and breathing exercises. This does not mean, of course, that I work a full hour without stopping. No, I break up the hour into quarters, doing fifteen minutes at a time; then I rest a bit and do something else. I soon begin again. Working for short periods should be kept up, and if they are varied with some restful occupation, you will not become tired. "Every student of singing should be able to play the piano. The piano is the most necessary of all instruments for the singer. Without some knowledge of it, she is greatly handicapped. Think what it must mean for the singer to be always at the mercy of an accompanist! Not that she must be her own accompanist in public, but familiarity with the piano enables her to study her voice far more profitably, for she can know to what she is singing, she can play over new music, and be much more thorough in her work. "When studying a song or part I do not use full power, except occasionally when I wish to determine the effect. When singing in public I must adapt the power of tone to the size of the room or hall where I am to sing. For a small, intimate space, great power is not needed; it would be out of place. If I know I am to sing in a large hall, I choose some songs that are big and powerful; whereas, for a small hall I arrange the program accordingly, using songs that are more quiet and do not need great force of tone." SIKI WINS AGAIN Battling Ski, world's lightweight champion fighter, recently knocked out Nilles, French heavyweight, in the second of a scheduled fifteen round battle. The Senegaless boxer took all Nilles had in the first round, but in the second Ski floored the Frenchman for the count. Ski will meet Carpentier in the fall.

Much empathy was laid upon business training and study of familiarity with economic conditions. "Indeed," Mrs. Bass continued, "we, as a race, need fewer doctors, lawyers, ministers, and more business men and women—people of action. "For a business, in economic achievement, lie the Negro's great opportunities for progress. Only when the Negro is an important economic factor, an element to be reckoned with in the great world of business, will he be in a position to force the Caucasian to accord him the rights, he demands, only then will his just claims be recognized. "The Negro should not aim to become a mere 'economic factor', however. He should become a menace Japan and her yellow men are respected, because their power is so great as to be a menace to the white man. "And the black man will be respected in proportionate menace, as he exalts himself in the world of commerce and business." "She lauded the people for the progress already made and added that: 'The day is past when man lies by his natural wit alone. Training and education are essential to success, even to survival. And self-wellness can no longer be the keynote of individual action. Social service is indispensable to progress.'" Many graduates received honorable mention. Among these were: Rev. B. Miller Beare, A. B., D. D; Samuel B. Danley, Jr., A. B.; Atty. Bert McDonald, A. B., Ll. B.; Mme Ethel Asbury Reeves. Several high school students received praise for their work.

They first stopped at Arcade Post Office; they were accompanied and shown through the building by the Chief Robbon and served with ice cream in the cafeteria. Chief Robbon and Grand Orator, Ill. C. S. Broady, acted as guide. Party after leaving here drove West on 5th to Broadway, South to 6th, West to Eigueroa, South to Vernon, East to Main, South on through to San Pedro, where they were shown the Submarine Base after having lunched at the point. The party then motored to Anaheim and Long Beach returning to Los Angeles having enjoyed the outing and hoping for another soon. At San Pedro Grand Master W. P. Cook was called in question by one white man who said to him, "I didn't know that there were any colored Arabian Shriners in California." Bro. Cook replied to him and said, "Sir, this only a few of my Nobles of Palestine Temple of which I am Potentate." The white man said to him, "God bless you, Noble. You have every reason to feel and believe that you have my sincere wishes." By way of a closing remark, I wish to state that Arabia is mother of True Shriners. I feel certain that every one perpetuates the standard of manhood. For that cause we would be glad to give anyone full information in reference to same. SANITARIUM CAMPAIGN SWEEPS LOS ANGELES.

Miss Agnes Grant is spending her vacation at home. Many strangers are coming to Watts from the valley. Messdames Cunningham, Walton and Wright, with other Watts people, attended the Grand Lodge Session at San Diego, and returned with glowing reports of the progress of the Order. Also the news that the Grand Lodge will convene in Watts in 1924. Hurrah! Hurrah for Watts! Mrs. Lucy Roberson, formerly of Chicago, now of Los Angeles, was to undergo an operation on the 12th. Mrs. Cunningham, on Thaxter St., has recently suffered from a severe attack of indigestion, but is slightly improved at this writing.

We welcome the return of Rev. Simpson, who was recentl yhurt in an auto collision. He has spent a few weeks at his seaside home in Santa Monica, where he also has charge of the A. M. E. Church. Rev. Simpson is one of the pioneer citizens of this city and community. Mrs. D'Almida is no more—D'Almida. The happy young couple (Mr. Reggins and Mrs. D'Almida) eloped to San Bernardino last Tuesday and were joined in matrimony. While it was expected by many of their friends that this would be the outcome of such an ardent friendship, when the news came all who heard it gasped for it was guarded with such secrecy. Prof. Bynum of the Zion A. M. E. Church and Mrs. Novela James, and Mr. and Mrs. Hicks of 8th and Towne A. M. E. Church, Los Angeles, passed through the Fourth on their way to Elsimore, they stopped over for a few moments at the A. M. E. parsonage. It was quite a representative number that went to San Bernardino Thursday night to attend the meeting at which Dr. Greggs of Wilberforce delivered a lecture. The meeting was very inspiring and many were glad to hear of the great institution from its president. Mr. and Mrs. Daniels, members of Ward Chapel and other friends motored to Riverside Sunday and spent the day with friends, they were worshippers at the A. M. E' Church. Other visitors: Mrs. Millie Davis, 1359 E. 33rd St., Los Angeles is spending a week with her mother Mrs. Gordon on East 13th and High Sts. Mr. and Mrs. T. A.

Knox of Fremo visited friends here Saturday en route to Santa Cruz to spend the summer. Columbia Lodge and Silver Leaf Court, K. of P., M. & W.

League put over a very unique patriotic program Sunday evening in the young people meeting at St. Andrews. After the lesson each participant was given a fire cracker, the fuse of which was attached a motto when pulled out. Then there were four bundles of firecrackers ranging from very small to large representing (1) small things in life; (2) true education means better government; (3) honesty, loyalty and sacrifice; (4) love; a roman candle represented good habits, manners, etc., to make a beautiful land and the skyrocket represented our Missionaries who carry the message to distant lands. It was a great stunt and the whole thing meant the league arsenal. The church was decorated in flags, flowers, etc. The N. A. A. C. P. pulled out of the 4th of July parade at the last minute and did not enter their float which would have been a winner, owing to the fact that the parade was to be at six o'clock in the evening and most of our folk would be away at a picnic at that hour. The Stanger Says; That when you ask some folk to join the N. A. A. C. P. they say what has it ever done? They spent $14,000.00 in the Arkansas riot case and six Negroes are free, peonage is writhing in death throes and lynching has decreased two-thirds per cent this year. Get in, you small bore fellow who wants to know what it has done, you may need it next. That you ought to buy a paper and quit borrowing the other fellow's.

WE FINANCE BUILDINGS AND ACT "Lost anything, mister?" queried the stranger with an ingratiating smile. He was well-dressed and appeared to be about thirty years of age. Lester's keen eyes took swift note of this yellowish skin, dry almost to the point of scaliness, the thinness of the black hair below his hat, and the shifting graygreen eyes whose iris was extraordinarily contracted. "Well, I lost something myself. Lost something, I say, right along, here, too. Yes, just about this place." The man's tongue seemed suddenly loosened and he appeared to be chattering with a volubility beyond his own control. For a mere second the man host-tated, then blurted out: "A little box! A little tin box. Did you see it? I must have lost it around here. God! I've got to find it! I must" He stopped abruptly and eyed Lester with a mingling of suspicion and cunning. "You see—I—I had some money in it." "Money?" smiled Lester. "Well, old man, you're not likely to recover that—but I wish you luck." He turned as if to leave the scene. The stranger, muttering to himself, after a final glance around, walked away, in the opposite direction. Lester crossed the street and followed until his quarry entered a billard hall some blocks distant. From a nearby drugstore Lester telephoned the Rainey Dective Agency, and fifteen minutes later the searcher for the lacquered box was under surveillance. The State hastened Donald's preliminary examination, which was held next morning. Lester realized that the people's case against Donald was strong enough to hold that young man for trial in the criminal courts, but was utterly unprepared for the shock received when he recognized in the State's star witness—the man who had sworn he saw Donald Douglas kill John Peters—the stranger who had accosted him the day before at the scene of the crime! While Cuthbert Williams gave his damning testimony, Lester watched him closely. The witness labored under a nervous excitement that bordered on hysteria. Words gushed from his lips in an almost incoherent torrent. He repeated himself again and again, but with no variation in his story. He did not recognize Lester—thank to the cap that had shadowed the young advocate's face on the previous day—and scarcely looked at Donald and the group about him. In fact, as the interrogatory ended, he collapsed and had to be carried from the room. After a few words of encouragement to his client, Lester returned to his office, impatiently awaiting the Rainy operative's first report on Cuthbert Williams—the man whose rambling, almost incoherent babble, if it stood unshaken as testimony, would send Donald Douglas to the gallows. A misty December rain seeped down through leaden clouds; chilling winds snapped fitfully around the ivy-bound corners of the grim old court house, but in the criminal department on the third floor electric lights glowed mildly, and a comfortable warmth filled the court room where Donald Douglas was on trial for his life.

And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh, by the decree of the King and his Nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything, let them not feed nor drink water. But let man and beast be covered with sack cloth, and cry mightfly unto God. Yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent and turn away from his fierce anger that we perish not. And God saw their works that they turned from their evil way and God repented of the evil that he had said that he would do unto them and he did not. What a wonderful example of repentence. What wise consideration they used as this given in the subject. Through humble and determined pleading God was moved to repentence. What a wonderful thing to know even though God may in his fierce anger, because of our wickedness threaten us with destruction, but as we see in the example of Nineveh, that we can so earnestly repent and turn from our wicked way and cry unto a merciful God with such might that God himself repents even though he promised to destroy us. Here in the great city of Los Angeles, which is known far and near for her glory and grandeur, blessed with her delightful climate. Where the hand of God has designed a most beautiful garden. And because of the special blessings that the State of California is endowed with, it is very natural that her large cities especially, will be sought by people from all over the world. Therefore her gates are crowded with every kind and character and as the scripture teaches us that the imagination of man's heart is naturally evil. Therefore in great prosperity he gets beyond himself, and finally turns his blessing into a curse as previously explained. Los Angeles is a very prosperous city and so much so until it has forgotten God in a true sense. Because of her glory and grandeur and carefree attitude, her influence has invited the carefree, pleasure seeking and fortune hunting characters of people from the four parts of the globe. These carefree characters just mentioned, who seem to think only of self and ease, in their worldly pleasure lust, and mad rush for money have built up a stronghold of wickedness and so much until the history of that great city of Nineveh is being repeated here in the great city of Los Angeles, for trusty the wickedness of this people has come up before God. And as God visited that great city Nineveh in the person of his servant Jonah, with a tremulous sorrow in his heart, wickedhead, Nineveh I came, and in the name of Almighty God I set my hand to this task, hoping and praying that the people of this great city will take wailing and follow the sword. --- AT YOUR SERVICE! PHONE FOR APPOINTMENT! NINEVEH THAT GREAT CITY Subject to be found in the 3rd Chapter of the book of Jonah 9th, and 10th verses inclusive—9th verse. Who can tell if God will turn and repent and turn away from his fierce anger that we perish not. 10th verse. And God saw their works that they turned from their evil way and God repented of the evil that he had said that he would do unto them and he did it not. Those who are versed in the history of the rising and falling of nations, the over-throwing and reestablishing of kingdoms, and the destruction of great cities, as history repeats thru the process of time, we are convinced by observation and personal experience that the two fundamental causes of our ups and downs are righteousness and sin, both collectively and as individuals as well. Because in holy writ we are taught that righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. It is through righteousness that nations and peoples of the earth rise to honor and true prosperity, being naturally evil continually, thus in great prosperity he gets beyond himself, and eventually turns his blessing into a curse of wickedness. The bible and history show us this to be true of nations and people through all the ages. But God being always mindful of his creatures, sends us this warning, by calling our attention to the great city of Nineveh for an example. Now from what we learn of the great city of Nineveh as we read the book of Jonah it was a large, popular, prosperous and a very wicked city, a noted one like many of our great cities today, and one of them namely Los Angeles, California. As I have before said, that Nineveh was known as that great city, great even in size, just another Los Angeles of today. So we read in the 1st Chapter, 2nd verse of the book of Jonah, that God commanded Jonah to go to that great city and cry against it, because the wickedness of that people had come up before God, in the 3rd chapter, 3rd and 4th verses we read where Jonah finally went, and as he entered that great city he cried out and said, yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown. And this is what came to pass. Read beginning at the 5th to 10 verses of the 3rd Chapter of the book of Jonah, which reads thus: So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a hat, and put on such cloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them, for word came unto the King of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne and he laid his robe from him, and commanded him with such cloth and might of the people of that great city Nineveh. We must remember that God has no reacond of persons, and as He saw their work of resistance and spared them, that they perished not, why should we not believe that he will do the same for us, if we repent as did the people of Nineveh. In the language of the subject we ask the question they did, Who can tell if God will turn and repent and turn away from his fierce anger that we perish not? My prayer is may God help us to turn from our evil way and from the violence in our hands and call mighty unto the Lord. That he may be so touched with our earnest endeavor, that the evil that he has said he would do unto us soon or late. We also hope that God will repent and do it not. For God has no pleasure in the destruction of the wicked, but we provoke him to do so even to his own hurt. Let us consider how our loved ones provoke us sometime. Very often those we love even dearer than we do our lives, provoke us to such a rage of anger, that we destroy them, and ever after repent, and so it is with God our Lord and our dear Saviour. For he loves us dearer than is possible, for any two creatures of earth to love each other, therefore he is swift to mercy and slow to anger. O that we may realize that Jesus loves us and gave his life that we might live, and as a servant of God I plead with all to call mightily on his holy name. Though he withholds us for a time to try our faith and determination, yet not one ever called on him earnestly, faithfully and patently, but what they received the blessings that come to the true and faithful. We do not believe that the Almighty and All Wise God of heaven seeks to destroy us in any way, but like every other being that loves, it is the ones that we love most that can provoke us the most. And isn't it very natural, because it is for those we have the care. We care what they do. We want to know of their whereabouts at all times. We want to know all and especially if we are true lovers, we want that true devotion that love owes love. And so it is the same with our Lord and Saviour, the supreme fountain of true love. Just think what a price he paid for those we loved. How can we think of Gethsemane's agony, and the cruel cross he bore to the summit of Calvary and there suffered the shameful agonies of death, nailed alive to the cross he bore, and shed his blood that we might live. When we remember this sacrifice, we can't help but be sorry that we sin against such a one. O how terrible it must be to provoke such a love as this to anger. God help us to be sorry and turn from sin to thee. Let us take the timely warning and follow the example of the subject of this message. Remember San Francisco and let her be our warning. Because San Francisco had her warnings before that great disaster just a few years ago. And I am told by eye-witnesses that many laughed to scorn those who gave the warning. We well know that Los Angeles or the entire State of California is not the only wicked place in the world, but because of the special blessings which it is endowed with, it is more responsible than the many other places that are less endowed. Traveling down the western border of this country from the North en route to a Garden of Eden so to speak, the very rocks cry out against us, if we refuse to see the glory of God in their many mysteries, for here and there the great monuments of rock just as God has placed them, seemingly stretch their lofty peaks in effort pointing upward, and in their silent way they tell us to look up to the God who exhibits the glorious wonders before our eyes. With such an experience on arriving in the great State of California and city of Los Angeles we should have no other resolution, but to help make it a Paradise or Eden instead of a Calvary or a place of skull. How shall we escape the wrath of God, if we blind our eyes with the vain glories of this world, and turn his Glory into shame. Stop and search thyself. O man, and with a dieing determination possess thy soul. In the name of Almighty God we propose that all the ministers and head official of this city take council together and proclaim from every pulpit and publish through every press this message to the people of this great city and if possible carry out the example of the noble repentance of the people of that great city Nineveh to the latter, and in conclusion we repeat that wise question of the subject. Who can tell if God will turn and repent and turn away from his fierce anger that we perish not? And God saw their works that they turned from their evil that he had said that he would do unto them and he did it not. THE MISSOURI GROUP MINING SELLING PROPERTY AND THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMO-BABI CONSOLIDATED MINES I am here to get money to finish up the show up of our property to sell and I want all the co-owners, especially those not present at our meeting to try to see me before I return to the mines on or about the 17th of this month. I have only good news for you. Our delay has been unavoidable, but the compensation that has come to us thru this delay is overwhelming and doubles the safety of your investment—for besides the getting into the contact of the great vein system on our central showing we have cut large important veins in each of our three tunnels, and have had ore all the way down in our second shaft as well as highs 1500 ft. The worst of all our problems has been overcame and worked out and down to a practical bank. The only delay that we now count is financial, but we have ensured the climate is not remotely discovering free gold or fine milling gold ore, meaning gold decimated thru the vein rock in nuggets, wires and stakes. We now have all of our forces concentrated on this free gold, and expect to make this discovery put our big selling property over by the small added assistance we get from you and your friends. It is this free gold discovery that I claim has compensated for all of our delays, because it is more than a local discovery of free gold in rock but it means to us that in a certain kind of rock in a certain geological period, with a certain third factor present, we can find free gold in any mining region, and especially this applies to our Comobabi property to make special effort to see me before I recurrent to the mines, you can leave word at the following-places for me to-call on you or call you-up—The Eagle Office.

CHRISTMAS GIVING Christmas is thought of in a special way as a time of giving. | But to the loyal, true and generous, the whole year is-a time of giving; for the best gifts are not merley those which beautify life, but inner gifts—gifts of personality, gifts of our own best selves to those we are journeying with to the bright land of the future. There is no record of Christ making any material gifts, yet He was the most generous giver that the world has ever known, for he gave to it the exceeding riches of a perfect love andpeace: The miracle of this manner of giving is that it enriches the _ giver. This kind of giving is all the more unselfish in that it is likely to be unconscious. The difficulty with this kind of giving is that those who want to give in this way and upon whom there have been be- stowed many rare gifts, so that they can give, have also been gifted with the beautiful gift of humility. They feel that “it is more blessed to give than to receive”, in that to always be receiving and never giving anything in'return means that one taints himself with the sin of ingratitude. But how shall one give unless he has something to give? So each says to him- self, “others have been ertriched with. many precious gifts ft beside which mine are poor and mean. I want to give, but Iam a mere beggar in my Father's House and have nothing ; to give’. They see the imperial gifts of eloquence, or beauty, or ieadership, with which others have been endowed—gitts that shall carry these shining ones to the bright places with distupetion. in seeming tp themselves so empty-handed, they litue suspect that scme stray fairy has pagsed their way and Jelt in tne Kevging some magic giits gi! happiness, good- will and affection, fhey tittle suspect inat me finest gifts that Heaven sendc not ine gilts that set us apart aud avove vtners, but the common gitts, nave, Ke the sunsnine, shower Lie JuyOUS goid Of YOOE CHELE Ol ail allac.: ANd What ure some Ui Luvet Wnoudpecteu, MIUUED gis, ULag PeaueL, al WMI lane yuu Mappy 4 yOU WHI reurm WwW Loe Witul aur UE sade. 1923 XMAS NUMBER A strenuous subscription campaign prohibited us from our usual mammoth holiday special.

We are informed at this time that strenuous efforts are being made to dethrone the present vice squad in order that a certain Central Avenue character with a record as a trimmer, extortionist and all around political hobo can hand-pick another squad who will do his bidding—what is the country coming to? We have been watching with disgust the influx of foreigners who cannot speak a word of English, being brought to this country; given jobs in hotels, restaurants and even city construction and other positions, and not one Negro can secure one of these places. The labor personnel of the entire city of Los Angeles is drifting away from the Negro to the foreigner, with a few exceptions. The Negro has been grossly mistreated under present labor conditions. He is paying tax and assessments to keep up the expenses of the city and county and the only position he can hold is not worth mentioning. Give the Negro a square deal and help him to grow big and develop the powers within him of becoming a real red-blooded American citizen. Now that school has closed, what are you going to do, Mr. Student, the remainder of the Summer months? Will you go back home and help your old father and mother to work, or will you be too proud to be seen working? The average boy, or girl pays but little respect to those who are laboring to make men and women of them. Some of them are ashamed of their parents after they return from college. God pity the boy or girl who so forget to honor their parents who are suffering death that their children can come up under better conditions than those they came through. Pay more attention to your parents and let them feel that you appreciate all the efforts they are putting forth for your welfare. The Soaring Eagle in the leave to ask these questions.

We call on the Polls The Soaring Eagle in this situation of police activities begs leave to ask these questions: Why is there such violent efforts made by the officers who are not on the Central Avenue Vice Squad to get on it? Why is it that well known crooks are sent out with petitions asking withdrawal of present Vice Squad in order to put in one of their own choosing? How long must the people of this community be brow-beaten, exploited at hands of these trimmers and political rum dummies, who are playing to rake the chestnuts out of the fire at the expense of the people? We know who Sampson is now and a viler crook never lived. We call on the Police Department to give us relief from the specie of vampire who sucks the life blood of the community and leaves turmoil and strife at every turn. HARD KNOCKS. Hard knocks never downed any man who had hard steel in him. They tend to spur on those who have a stiff backbone, and crush the ones who can't stick. "I can't stand Hard Knocks" are the worst of enemies, and in every conflict, "I Can't" always loses. In the course of time neraly all of us run across a man who thinks he is better than his associates. When he meets new people he can't down that impression. In his every-day J. B. BASS E. W. KYLE C. A. SPEAR-BASS E. V. HAMILTON ROBERT ANDERSON A QUESTION! One of the greatest hindrances to the progress of the Black man's fraternal side of life is that they elect to membership some men and women whom they wouldn't have the nerve to invite into their homes and introduce to their families. There seems to be no standard to which one must reach in order to become a member. All one has to do is to have some pull and the price of admission and he can enter without question as to his character, or reputation in the community. The insurance features of the fraternities, some claim, make it difficult to weed out the applicants who may apply for membership; paying little attention to the social side of the order. The hurt comes when these questionable characters have to meet in social gatherings and mix with one another. Not only are the fraternal societies being threatened with questionable characters but they are making inroads into everything they can get into, and are bringing on a serious condition, that if let alone, will destroy what little respect we hold in the community. Let us be careful in electing people to membership in these orders if they are to serve the high place they have set forth to reach. Let the officers be men and women with spotless characters and not those who cannot stand up in the midst of present conditions without selling out their race and honor to those who are thriving and growing fat because these leaders double-cross us and tell all what happens in the society and the home. Not that we shouldn't help these who have fallen, but we must have some line of demarkation stretched between good and evil; and let none cross until they have been purged and cleansed of all sin and shame. Color legislation is responsible for a condition that does much to lower the standard of sexual morality and the home life of the nation. In all the Southern states are laws prohibiting whites marrying Negroes and yet every other person you meet has the Caucasian blood in their veins. The record shows eight out of twelve millions are mulattoes. There is no law in the South to protect the young Negro women, and even the married, against the wishes of these despoilers of outraged womanhood. She is inferior in the day and queen at night. The only time a Southerner will wake up, is when a Negro crosses his fireside and gives him a dose of his own medicine. There are enought Negroes in the South to wipe out, eternally, this stain upon their lives. It cannot be done in running, whining, or fighting single-handed, but by organization, by standing together—man for man—even until death, for rights this government has sworn to give to every citizen; regardless of color, or creed, or conditions of servitude. If the other races can burn, lynch, mob, and crucify the Black man for crimes some of them commit upon their own women, then why can't we do a little dieing for our own women, who stand pleading, begging and praying for protection against the human ingrates—these debasers of character—these one hundred percent Americans who preach race purity for themselves and race segregation, discrimination and hate for others. If we were together as the white man, peonage, the worse form of chattel slavery, would not exist, we would not have to run away from our farms, our homes and families because we resent the wrongs of our oppressors. Let the South make all the laws it wants to keep us in "our place," let it build mountains around its firesides to keep us out, but let us too do some building around our fireside and keep out these vultures of the night who are too proud to be seen in the day with us. Don't be too afraid of dying. You died like sheep to protect the white man—can't you do a little for your own race? You are going to be killed anyway—why not for a principle. Until the South changes its attitude toward the Black man; until her laws are written for him as well as his own; until the Negro woman is safe in any part of the South and this color prejudice is buried in oblivion, will there be a problem and a growing unrest between the two races. SYSTEM YET NOT' SYSTEM. Since this editorial is written with one idea of aim, if you please, and is to throw whatever light within our power on the subject with the hope of benefitting some individual with whom we come in contact daily we deem it necessary to first of all give Mr. Webster's definition of the word, which is: SYSTEM —Method or order, regular or orderly arrangement of parts in a connected and interrelated series or whole; as, system lightens labor. The man who creates or gives birth to ideas or in other words an organizer is not necessarily a good business manager. The systematic arrangement or manipulation of a business depends largely upon those employed, they either make or break the business. If a man does not put the best that he has in his job when he is working for the other fellow, he will never be able to put anything in anything for himself. The best training that one may get along the line of business efficiency is by taking pleasure in doing his best for the man, or woman for that matter, who employs him. The average young Colored man is diseased with the idea that if he puts too much in the other man's business he will not have anything left for himself when he starts. As a rule this sort of thinking spells failure to begin with. The young Colored man must realize that the Gold Age has passed. Truly there are acres of diamonds but they are at your feet if you would but stop and dig deep enough to unearth them. It is pitiful to hear the young man of today say that he has plenty of time to get his—plenty of time does not mean the number of years old that you are but the number of ways that you have conserved your strength, energy and the God-given qualities that go to make up a real man. An humble beginning rightly interpreted spells a better foundation for a successful business career than the silver tongue proposition. John D. Rockefeller's father was an herb doctor, and pedded his herbs through the rural district of New York State in a pack on his back. The present John D. came on the scene and picked up the herb trade where his father left off and by his consistency and sticking to business he sank his pick below the herd family and oil sprung in his lap, and today this once humble herb peddler controls the oil industry of the world, and until a few years ago when Henry Ford came sizzling through in his "Tin Lizzy" was the richest man in the world. And now "Youth" take a hint EDUCATION Hundreds of young Negro boys and girls have graduated from the various schools, and our June periodicals have been lavish in giving praise to those who have gained scholastic honors. The crop of graduates seems to be a promising one, and the Race should be benefitted greatly during the next decade. There was a meeting in San Francisco, recently, and it brought together men and women from the nations of the earth. China, India, as well as the European countries met and conferred as to the best means of disseminating knowledge. University professors and the country "school marm" exchanged ideas. But after all was said the address which interested the most was one delivered by a modest little teacher from up the mountains, who said that "The foundation laid in the little 'Red School House' was after all the most useful for it lingered when the recollections of the higher institutions of learning had been forgot." She was right: Think back, you old boys and girls, if it is not so. 0——00——0 There's a fuss over the originality of the design for the "Black Mammy" Statue, or monument. Sculptor Dunbar claims that another. P. Zolney, stole his idea of the tablet which he had moulded some 16 years previous. THE BY-STANDER By: ATTY. LEWIS K. BEEKS 822-24 Central Avenue Telephone: 150-44 WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? Now that the echoes of commencement orations and salutations have dled away, the admirable blush and seductive charm of the sweet graduates have faded and gone, we may lay aside exuberance, gaze through the mist and ascertain just where we are. Well would it be as a suitable aftermath if some bright scholar would take as his theme this subject: "Where do we go from Here?" Last Friday evening as I sat with the Alumni group, gazing with childish glee upon a spectacle rich with color, enjoyable in setting and scheme, suddenly a thought crept over my mind and stole that overflow of enthusiasm I had experienced during the evening; my search for truth and wisdom had led me along these same avenues. I had revealed in this same atmosphere of triumph and victory; I had worn the cap and gown and hood twice and passed in silent review to take the highest our greatest university could give as hundreds applauded. That was not all, it was scarcely a beginning. I thought how painfully it dawned on me in my day and how soon, would it reach the attention of my fellow students. There were certificates of merit, of scholarship and of efficiency rewarded but what do they amount to when there are no jobs, no landing in sight for those who launch forth. The greatest incentive for progress and triumph is an objective. We went to school because we felt that in the end we would be personally fit and our efforts and sacrifices would be amply rewarded with better positions and re- --- HEALTH NOTES HELPING A DEAF CHILD TO HEAR A deaf child is often more handicapped by its elders than by its sad and unfortunate visitation. Frequently those same parents could have prevented the loss of so valuable a sense. When "a mild attack of sore throat," running nose or a "slight cold" appeared, proper treatment by a throat specialist, with the subsequent removal of adenoids and tonsils responsible for the "colds," would very likely have warded off any such mischance as this of deafness. The second, learn rapidly to comprehend what they hear. Then they speak in sentences. Much of all they thus acquire is from their mother. If their mother is ungrammatical, slovenly of speech, or given to baby talk, the child, despite its later schooling and associations, will, as a man, carry its careless speech into many high places. It is a grave error for parents to give up trying to speak to a deaf child. A deaf child should be spoken to, if possible even more than a child with normal hearing. Those around However, the evil has been done and other things must now be carried out. It is worse than harmful to be downcast about it, because such melancholia reacts upon the child. Dumbness is by no means a concomitant of deafness. Indeed, it is sometimes initiated by parents, who cease their seemingly futile efforts to talk to the deaf youngster. The elders must talk to and with their deaf children. Talk to Him A deaf child is not different from children with good ears. He needs no more coddling than others. Indeed, the deaf child must be safeguarded from indifference, selfishness, impatience and irritability in the same punishable fashion as other children. A deaf child must not be spoiled because of the mishap. He or she must obey, work and play just as other children do. Sounds affect hearing just as weights reach the earth. That is to say they appeal to the ear as the square of the distance.

The Negroes of the United States were led to believe that Marshall was to have a position of authority as a representative of the U. S. in Haytai. Now it seems as if Marshall has the status of a clerk and therefore is not entitled to official recognition by the Haytian government. Dunn, a hold-over in the diplomatic service from the Wilson regime, is the Charge de Affaires in Hayti and has recommended the recall of Marshall and that the position of CLERK be given to some man less prominent than Marshall. Verily, the Harding administration has proven a fizzle where the Negro has been concerned. We are waiting patiently to see the final results of the Tuskegee Hospital embroiglio. munerations in life and now, at the end if we fail to accomplish this end there is personal discouragement and those in school are made the laughing stock of their uneducated compeers who stroll leisurely in handsome autos as we gaze wild-eyedly and wonder, "if it pays." It does pay, but it takes time to tell. The young graduate has spent out of money and funds. He faces a world, barren and cold, waiting for him to do almost the impossible in his particular line of endeavor before it notices him or becomes a patron at his shrine of endeavor. The youthful doctor is eyed with suspicion until he raises the dead; the young lawyer only gets a few notes and deeds until he snatches all of the crooks and bootleggers from the throes of legal procedure; the dentist must rejuvenate some elderly mamma and implant a set of sixteen year old teeth in her jaws fit and fine or he is not on to his business. This confronts the youth who raps patiently at the door of opportunity. However, there is hope and it is most favorably sustained because people—white and black—are realizing that young men are for counsel as well as for war. They are active, active, aggressive and studious. They keep abreast of the times, and bring to everyone's attention all that is late and up-to-date.

So on with the dance! Let joy be unconfined." the second, learn rapidly to comprehend what they hear. Then they speak in sentences. Much of all they thus acquire is from their mother. If their mother is ungrammatical, slovenly of speech, or given to baby talk, the child, despite its later schooling and associations, will, as a man, carry its careless speech into many high places. It is a grave error for parents to give up trying to speak to a deaf child. A deaf child should be spoken to, if possible even more than a child with normal hearing. Those around the deaf baby should speak more loudly as well as more distinctly, more carefully, more slowly and much nearer to the little one's ears. Do Not Grimace But grown-ups should never exaggerate their speech or make grimaces and contortions when speaking to a deaf child. Instead of alding the child these grimaces dampen its ardor, distract its attention and serve only to confuse it. Many parents thus innocently add to the deafness of their children by making them depend on reading their lips. Contortions, grimaces, exaggerated facial movements, gesticulations defeat the very purpose intended—the strengthening of the acuteness of audition. When the eyes or gaze of a deaf face is fixed on the mother's face it is beseeching her to speak to him. According to Mr. John Dutton Wright, founder and principal of the Wright Oral School for the Deaf, the habit of the deaf infant looking at the face of the speaker, and the habit of the mother to observe his gaze, and when it wanders, to pause in her talk until he looks at her again, are two very valuable aids with which to develop the deaf child. The mother should also sing to the little one often whilst she her lau with Telephone: 150-44 there so that they could meet the desire, the Lord will take others who will supply their needs.

He replied that he was not a member of any church, but that his parents were Christians and his father was of the Baptist persuasion. When we begin to erect a house commemorating with the name and standing of the Baptists throughout the land, I have no doubt that this gentleman will want to do some large thing in memory of his father. For he will reflect that the faith and love of his father are lying at the foundation of his personal success. What is true of him is also true of others. For others, although they may have departed from the faith of their dear old mothers now sleeping will want to do some large program we have in mind. the faith which blessed their mothers, and which made such large things possible for themselves. TEACHER, PUPIL, PARENT Clayborne D. Cookrey The average pupil of today is only successful by co-operation with the parent. If for instance a child has an appreciable amount of talent for music and before he or she starts studying, they build beautiful castles in the air of being a great pianist because of having seen some good performer on the instrument namely the piano. So far, so good, the teacher arrives to begin the first lesson. In the mean time the castles are still standing in the air and as the pupil advances they begin to notice that each lesson is slightly more difficult. The castle is wobbling on its foundation. After a while as the teacher continues to hear the recitations, he notices there is not as much interest or enthusiasm as at first. By and by the lessons begin to be poorly studied or practiced as is verified by the recitations. What is the trouble, Mary? Oh, I don't believe I want to take music, mother! Why, my dear! It is too hard. At this point the "Air Castles" are demolished. Now if the parent is a quick witted one they will at once take steps to locate the difficulty. Also to judge whether the pupil is really talented enough to encourage further study on the instrument. At any rate when this occurs, the teacher should confer with the parent. Now, talent can't always be detected especially in small children. But after consultation the pupil is found eligible for further study, the child should be compelled to study. In many cases good musicians may be produced by forcing a child to develop that God-given talent. Just a word about that great master—Beethoven—is said that his father, early recognizing that little Ludwig possessed unusual musical ability, with shrewd intent of developing a musical prodigy he kept him, often weeping, to his practice. There should be a regular practice period, the same as the regular meal time. It should also be a serious concentrated practice in order to become proficient. A pupil, whether he or she is a genius, talented, the average or dull require practice. The same result may not be realized in each case but the same means must be adopted. Playmates should not be allowed to interfere with the regular practice hour if lessons are to be learned. Moreover there are parents that want the child to learn in an awful haste for the sole purpose of "showing off" for friend and acquaintances. Some go so far as to ask the teacher how long do you guarantee to have the pupil "playing the piano." This undue haste and "showing off" is very detrimental to the child because if it falls—breaks down—it is something the child never gets over. Cases of this kind are very bad as it is detrimental to the quality of good music development. If the pupil succeeds in a premature performance and is praised, and perhaps petted he becomes spoiled. Parents of pupils and also the musically untutored can derive much benefit by attending all concerts and recitals, it also shows a sign of interest in music. her mouth close to his ear. On her lap, too, she is able to speak directly and distinctly into his ear. She must never use baby talk, nor such words as "ain't got." Furthermore, she should be careful never to use incorrect pronunciation. Let the mother talk closely, clearly and lovingly of daddy, pusy, doggie, birds, toes, brothers, sisters, flowers, trees and Mother Goose rhymes, just as she would to the other babies. QUES.

CHEF RODNEY JEFFERSON, CATALINA ISLAND, AND HIS ER NUMBER OF COLORED MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZ Last Spring Mr. W. H. Stanley, Sec- retary and General Manager of the great Wm. Wrigley, Jr., Company, manufacturers of chewing gum, the flavor of which has lasted so well that most of the competition has just forgotten to exist, donated a handsome sum towards the success of a new Boys' Club in Chicago, saying at the time that he wished to give more colored lads a chance to make good in a big way like Mr. Wrigley's remarkable Chef, Rodney W. Jefferson, out at Catalina. At the time, we were so impressed in helping the boys we did not stop to investigate just how big an opportunity this organisation, had given a colored man. But this year, when we got ready for our yearly donation, Mr. Stanley introduced to us, Mr. Wrigley and then we took advantage of the occasion to ask him personally about this colored man out on Catalina Island in the Pacific Ocean! The Hon. Mm. Wrigley, Jr., owner and founder of the most unique business in the world, selling only one product—chewing gum—and that confined to three generally advertised brands until his son, Philip K. Wrigley, another booster for colored Boys' Clubs, added the now fast selling "P.K.'s", talked fully an hour about Chef Jefferson and his remarkable achievements at Hotel St. Catherine on Catalina Island. To sum up, he just gave up trying to tell the whole stor ONE TON OF THE 18 VARI WRIGLEY'S CATALINA FIGS YOUR HOME STYLE WITH FLAVOR." and threw up his hands saving, "Well, Jeff is the whole works out there". So your humble servant, always alert for a big story, and knowing the singee effort on the part of our leading publishers for information as to the success of colored men when given an opportunity by ibg hearted and true blue white men, started for Wrigley's Santa Catalina Island in the Pacific Ocean via Los Angeles, California. CATALINA ISLAND "In all the world, no trip like this"; courtesy, kindly attention and every employee from the highest to the lowest, a genuine representative of Mr. Wm. Wrigley, Jr., the host of every visitor to the island. From the moment you leave the ticket office at Los Angeles, where Mr. J. N.

Allen, "the personal escort," who used his good offices in securing a seat for us on the upper deck with the Captain of the ship, wh ogives us the benefit of his long seafaring experiences as he heads for the island, through the Pacific fleet of battleships of the United States Navy, including the largest and the fastest. This sight alone is incomparable; it is worth a life time, as it truly opens up a new world in the islander from back East Then, Mr. Fred Braxton, the colored steward on the Pacific Coast and the Senior of the Wrigley Crew, comes and tucks a blanket about your feet to protect you from the winds of the open sea. Mr. Braxton also advises that the Vice President, Mr. Stewart, has ordered that a stateroom and every convenience be prepared for our party. Now, yo uhave left the land behidn, and as the good ship "Avalon" speeds along at about 18 miles an hour (fifteen knots is the language of the sailor), in every direction you gaze only on the deep, sapphire blue of the smooth waters of the Pacific Ocean; this expanse seems to end only where the sky meets the sea. In turn, as the first mate, then the second mate, took the place of the Captain, we learned more and more about wonderful Catalina Island; and ETIES OF THE 1923 CROP OF S. "PRESERVED BY JEFF IN THE ORIGINAL CATALINA as we neared her shores after traveling about thirty miles, we were awe-striken by the great mountains of rocks extending out of the sea nearly 10,000 feet into the heavens. The first discernible object was the modern white castle of Mr. Wm. Wrigley, Jr., overlooking the hrbor and city of Avalon. It stood as a beacon light on one of the highest peaks. This beautiful mansion of a hundred rooms glistened in the sunlight, as the brilliant diamond, set off, as it were, by myrtle flowers, like the smaller gems of MR. FRED BRAXTON AND MR.

On nearer sight, we saw nestled at the foot of the mountains, at the very water'sedge, the beautiful St. Catherine Hotel, made famous the world over by Chef Jefferson's "endless chain" and "food that tastes like Mother used to make". Now the ship goes around Sugar Loaf, a giant rock blasted from the mainland in order to make a passageway to St. Catherine. We are about to land on the enchanted island. Our welcome to Avalon, the only city on Santa Catalina Island, was no less cordial than our treatment by Mr. Fleming on the mainland. Again, Mr. Allen escorted us ashore where he introduced us to Mr. D. M. Renton, Vice President and General Manager of the Island. In his car we sped to the St. Catherine Hotel, where he introduced us to Chef Rodney W. Jefferson, as the man who, backed up by Mr. Wrigley, the king pin of the whole organization, as Mr. Stewart remarked, had given the St. Catherine Hotel the right to preface the Catalina slogan with 'The cook, the cook, 'In all the world no trip like this''. Mr. Renton added, "Mr. Wrigley often repeats the old adage in accounting for the world wide fame of this island from practical obscurity only five years ago, 'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.' Jeff's meals have made this spot a wonderful summer and winter resort, the year around mecca for the homesick traveller." Mr. Stewart, the Traffic Manager and Vice President, confided that Chef Jefferson was the Czar of this realm. Mr. Renton, the General Manager, became reminiscent, "Jeff sits here of his desk. or MR.

He is a general, an organizer, thorough and almost uncanny in his knowledge and versatility. Like the message I heard over the radio the other night; The lecturer said only a very small percent, between 10 and 20%, I believe it was, of the human race, thinks. Well, Mr. Jefferson is in that minority class of thinkers. I suppose he is one of the highest paid chefs in the United States. Last year we gave him a $1,000 bonus when he went on his vacation for thirty days. You see he is a good, clean, moral man himself, andnd the organization knows it. He keeps his own counsel and understands his place; he does not associate or mingle with the other employees either on or off duty; he does not permit visiting and talking between the cooks and waitresses, and consequently, the work always functions harmoniously. He is strictly business and we notice the difference when he is away on his vacation." These lines crossed my mind, as I gazed from Jefferson's desk down the length of that kitchen; "Tar from the maddening crowd's ignoble strife." There was White and Black, Mexican and Jap, Jew and Gentile, Catholic and Protestant, all working to please the vikrators to Catalina Island. Some in authority and high place were white, some were black, some were Catholic, some were Protestants, some were Jews, some were Mexicans, some were Japs, but all working peacefully and neighborly one with the other, each recognizing the other's position, be it great and mighty or low and humble: working harmoniously, not alone for self, but learning how to better serve their fellow man. This wonderful, and extraordinary fellowship and appreciation, one for another, knowing no creed; this institution that recognises men and their capacity did not just happen.

The Hon. Wm. Wrigley, Jr., is that extraordinary genius. He owns and directs Catalina through Mr. J. H. Patrick, President of the organization of this magic isle. What a good old world it would be if all of us could pray each night and day that simple prayer that we might always have that humble spirit which also was in Christ Jseus. JEFF STARTS PHILOSOPHIZING "There is only one class of people that I cater to," said Mr. Rodney W. Jefferson, the premier colored Chef of America, "and those are the little children who cannot tell you what they want. I make a specialty of taking care of them, either at night or in the day. The further you go into cooking, the more you realize you do not know," continued Chef Jefferson, pointing to his library of over 1200 books. "In an entire lifetime, no man could ever hope to learn it." What the country demands is young men who are ambitious and have a little brain, added our host. "I have had to sacrifice a lot of pleasure and I am just getting started. I never had time to attend dances or social functions. But I believe in the law of compensation, and I am still studying until 12 and I A.M. nightly.

My teacher, Mr. Taylr Jrdan, f Cincinnati, in the 80's was one of the best all around men in his day. "Cooking in 1923 is more than the preparation of food—it is a system", continued the little man, known as the Wizard of the St. Catherine, as he looked up from his desk, and, looking down the line of twenty men, he called to his broiler, that the fowl should be taken from the fire. It is common knowledge around Catalina Island that Chef Jefferson's sense of smell is even greter than his keen observation and uncanny perception of detail. There is no place in the world, according to the best authorities, that has come nearer the absolute ideal of the modern evolution of the culinary art, than the St. Catherine on Catalina Island. This present day criterion, which is none other than that summed up by the familiar boost, "It isn't like Mother's cooking!" has been realised by Chef Jefferson with his system, known far and wide as the "endless chain", which gives home cooked meals, the very best quality and the most palatable the year around, at one half the cost anywhere else for half the satisfaction to 2000 guests a day from every clime. THE CHEF'S HISTORY If we can be permitted to depart for a moment from the philosophy of cooking established by this extraordinary colored man, let us note the early beginning of Rodney W. Jefferson, colored chef at the St. Catherine inn Hotel of Mr. Wm. Wrigley, Jr., on Catalina Island. He was born in Middleport, Ohio, in 1867. He has two brothers; one, W. V. Jefferson, an Attorney in the Sanitary District of Chicago; and the other one is the Foreman of the Construction work on the beautiful, palatial home of Secretary Mellon in Pittsburgh. His first experience as Chef was obtained at the Griffin House in Detroit. "Here, at the feet of Captain Griffin, I learned in the early morning hours THE BOOKS THE WIZARD OF ST. CATHERINE IN HIS PRIVATE "DEN" WITH THE NATIONAL TENNIS CHAMPION PERUSING ONE OF HIS LATEST BOOKS ON THE CULINAR YART, CHEF JEFFERSON STUDIES EVERY NIGHT UNTIL 12 P. M. HE GOES BACK EAST ONCE A YEAR TO SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING. the fundamental principle of how to run a house, treating friend and foo allike", Chef Jefferson mused, as he puffed his cigar. "He was an Irishman, but one of the whitest men I ever worked for. He was exacting, but he was clean cut and a square man. He is one of the very best friends I have today". From Detroit, Chef Jefferson went to the famous Beaumont House at Green Bay, Wisconsin. Then he took charge of the kitchen of the Pioneer Limited from Chicago to St. Paul and Minneapolis, serving with Dan Healy, the greatest dining car man since the advent of rafrond service. Later, he came West with the Pacific Railroad. Here he was "discovered" by Clyde Opelt, and with him after the purchase of Catalina Island by the world famous merchant, Wm. Wrigley, Jr., of Chicago, came out in the sea and put the St. Catherine, Catalina Island Hotel, on the map of every country, in five years, as the one spot in all the world where the traveller could enjoy real Southern Cooking, or the favorite dish of his own country, which Chef Jefferson knows better than the native cock, if we read aright the thousands of testimonials from foreigners who have dined at Catalina island, now the greatest summer and winter resort in the world. I followed Chef Jefferson around for three days and sat up with him until early morning hours, as he expounded the intricacies of refrigeration, the essence of how to handle and preserve the food after your proprietor burs it, about his years on travel with Prof. Gibson the great authority on mushrooms, and his fathom of knowledge covering the evolution of modern cooking back to where it started, which gives the food its natural flavor, or, as some would say, the idea is to approximate "Mother's Cooking" and still satisfy thousands at one meal instead of five or six. The following description written by Mrs. Overholt, an authoress of national reputation for the 1921 October number of the Los Angeles magazine, the Arrowhead, tells better of Chef Jefferson's idea of an "endless chain" where all the food comes from Catalina Island and then is scientifically preserved and prepared in the $100, 000 annex and kitchen equipment of the St. Catherine Hotel. In 1921, when the following article was written, there were four large ice boxes; today, there are eight, and Chef Jefferson says, "I am going to ask Mr. Wrigley for $6,000 more worth of refrigeration" it is our guess that he will get it.

"The domain of this king of the kitchen of the present day is filled with romance in itself, so let us take a peep at its wonders. The first impression we get on entering the huge kitchen of the Hotel St. Catherine is ```markdown ``` "The Hotel St. Catherine, with its (thousand guests, to serve at one meal, must keep a huge store. In hotels of big cities the wholesale markets are close at hand. Catalina is cut off from these supplies by sea and must depend on shipments brought in by steamer and the products of Middle Ranch—a farm situated in the interior of the Island where live stock. N.

"Potatoes are brought in from Middle Ranch by the truck loads—from ten to twenty a day—and stored in special vegetable vaults kept at a temperature of 42 degrees, several truck loads of green vegetables in season, beans, peas, carrots, squash, cabbage, and cauliflower—both the later growing to enormous size on the ranch—water cress, endive, celery, lettuce, radishes and herbs, huge pumpkins, and then the wonderful fruits—all grown without irrigation on a fertile plot of ground in the mountain fastnesses of the island. Berries, apricots, peaches, pears and apples, plums and figs of such size and flavor that the choicest fruits of the city markets pale into insignificance. It is a scientific fact that, the wild flora and growth of Catalina Island is different from any found on the mainland in size nd splendor: of coloring.So it is with domestic vegetation. The honey dew melons and watermelons of Middle Ranch are of a sweetness and flavor unexcelled, anywhere else in the country—Rodney Jefferson, the colored King of Cofs from Dixland must know. "So we have the huge vegetable refrigerating room in the kitchen of the Hotel St. Catherine which opens another pantry where the paring and cleaning are done. Here is an electric potatoo peeler into which an entire sack of potatoes is emptied at once. They are whirled around and around against corrugated iron sides and constantly washed with fresh water flowing into the peeler. "Then we must look at the butcher shop—an entire institution of itself. A meat vault, kept at 35 to 31 degrees, holds some twenty dressed steers, 60 lambs, as many hogs and suckling plugs, all brought in from Middle Ranch. A butcher is in charge of the meats and skillfully carves the cats wanted by the chef. Then comes the poultry vault. Here are several hundred fat dressed hens, for chicken gumbo, a hundred and fifty ducks, a hundred turkeys and six to seven hundred squabs. Three to four hundred of the latter are frequently roasted for one meal alone. All are carefully cleaned and packed on ice daily. "From here we step over to the fish boxes.

Also the Christmas program evening, Dec. 23, at 7 p.m. Everybody is welcome. Come. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. CHRISTIAN CHURCH 33rd and Hooper Ave. M. Frederick Mitchell; Pastor Good and wholesome services last Sunday. The pastor filled the pulpit both morning and evening. Four to take membership Sunday morning. Lively Sunday School with Prof. T. S. Anderson as Supt. The Young People's meeting at 6:45 p.m. reached a high mark in attendance and interest in general. A large group of young people of the community of the church was present and took active part on the program. The evening's service was enhanced with the presence of a goodly number of new faces. Every department of the church is growing. Next Sunday a hearty welcome awaits all who will come. NEW HOPE BAPTIST CSHUCH 1623 Palma St. A real treat was missed by those who failed to attend services, Sunday, December 16. The sermons were excellent, and each carried a wonderful lesson. The soloists were, Miss Luna and Mrs. E. Washington, Sunday, December 23rd, is the anniversary of our pastor, Rev. Lively, who has ably filed our pulpit for the past eight years. Much credit and praise is due Rev. Lively for the success that New Hope has made. And the great secret of that success is that Rev. Lively is a leader by example, from a moral standpoint, and from a religious standpoint. To celebrate the occasion services will be held at 3:30 Sunday afternoon, at which time Rev. A. P. Gordon, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church will preach. An interesting program has been arranged in connection, by the Junior Missionary Society, including numbers by the New Hope choir. On Monday night, December 24th, the Christmas tree will be given for the children under the auspices of the B. Y. P. U and Sunday School. The presidents, Mrs. Washington and Mr. Boles are sparing neither pains nor finances in order that every child's heart will be made glued. And then on Christmas morning at tata entitled "The Christmas Adora 5 o'clock, the greatly anticipated cantion", by Carrie Adams, will be reddened by the choir. Promptly at 5 o'clock the herald angels will blow their trumpets proclaiming the birth of Christ followed by the processional. A cordial welcome is extended to everyone to attend this wonderful musical program. Sunday was another good day with us at Mt. Zion. We were pleased to have so many visitors with us at both the morning and evening services. The pastor spoke at both services. At the morning service the subject was: "Faith and Acceptance", the subject at the evening service was: "God's Wonderful Love For Man". Next Sunday the pastor will speak at both services. All are welcome. SAY! Have you heard this Black and Tan? (Not the Old One) OGDEN PASTOR IN L. A. ON EXTENDED TRIP Rev. M. A. Elliott, of Ogden, Utah, was a visitor at the Eagle Office this week. He is the pastor of the Wall Avenue Baptist Church of that city. The pastor is making a tour of the Western country, studying conditions and seeking information in such parts thereof as a number of the racial group are located. He arrives in Los Angeles after a short but interesting trip thru the Imperial Valley, and will be in Los Angeles, and left on Friday, the 14th, after two weeks' sojourn here. SAY!

CITY BROTHERS We Extend Season’s Greetings HAS LOS ANGELES AN INDUSTRIAL FOUNDATION? Is Los Angeles established on a firm industrial foundation? While occasionally some visitor will come to the wrong conclusion after spending a very brief period here, the person who digs into the facts and figures is due for an agreeable surprise. For example, it will be found that the annual output of the Los Angeles industries is now conservatively estimated as being between $1,000,000,000 and $1,100,000,000 while some even see the possibility of the 1923 figures going as high as $2,500,000,000 for the metropolitan area. This city now stands eighth, and possibly seventh, in the country as a manufacturing center. These figures are interesting when it is noted that the annual production for 1922 was $359,806,503, while for 1921 the figures stood at $800,926,641 and in 1920 $788,652,885. The population of Los Angeles is now conservatively placed at 1,000,000. At a recent luncheon of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, celebrating the passing of the million mark, it was shown that statisticians of the Los Angeles R. R. return a population of 1,023,000. The gas companies report a population of 1,032,212. Figured on the basis of school attendance, with a gain of 85 per cent since 1920, a population of 1,002,335 is shown. If the population figures are based on building activity or building permit, 100,792 new families have been housed since 1920, and with 4.3 persons per family the answer is a population of 1,014,210. From the above figures it can easily be seen that there is a healthy condition here as far as population growth is concerned. But of the 1,600,000 tourists and visitors that have been coming here during 1923, one out of every 10 has decided to stay. At that rate Los Angeles is growing at the rate of 160,000 yearly. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce has recognized the need for industries to take care of the workers that are constantly arriving in the city. If the present industrial growth continues until the first of the year, there should be no les than 4750 industries here, of which 550 will have been secured during the present year. It will be seen that with the securing of 550 new industries, the industrial campaign of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce has taken hold and started the ball rolling. From a banking standpoint, Los Angeles is in a healthy condition. Clearing figures for November show that for the 11 months of the present year the figures show a gain of $1,748,292,2445. For the month of November of last year of $148,849,332. The 11 month total this year stood at $6,384,302,394, against $4,636,010,149 for the same period last year. This tremendous gain is even more remarkable when it is considered that for the entire year of 1922 clearing figures stood at $5,152,311,8.19, while ten years previous, in 1912, they amounted to but $1,163,941,800, or less than the gain this year over last year. A report recently released by Collector of Internal Revenue Rex Goodcell shows that California corporations reported more gross income for the business year 1921 than the combined gross returned by the corporations of 16 big western states. The report further shows that more income tax was paid by California corporations than the combined tax paid by similar business concerns in 16 Western states, with Delaware, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire and Hawaii added. It is shown that for one year California corporations reported gross income of $3,544,932,721, which exceeded the combined gross income returned by Arizona, Alaska, Arkansas Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. During the first six month of 1923 there passed through the Panama Canal a total of 5,644,837 tons of intercostal commerce of which the port of Los Angeles alone originated or received 3,727,340 tons, or more than 66 per cent. The above figures were set forth in the compilation of intercoastal traffic for the first half of 1923 by the United States Shipping Board, which is keeping track of the intercoastal tonnage of every port in America. It is also interesting to note that along with the rapid building activity of the city that forest products received at Los Angeles Harbor for the first six months of 1923 totaled 739,281,216 board feet. This was almost twice as much as for the same period of 1922. The facts that have ben given here do not by any means cover the many remarkable gains that have been made by Los Angeles. In every line of endeavor substantial gains have ben made during 1923. Business leaders see no reason why new records should not continue to pile up during 1924. Some assert that nothing can stand in the way of Los Angeles' growth if the subject of ballanced prosperity continues to occupy the attention of the industrial leaders. WHAT OF CONDITIONS ON CENTRAL AVE.? Central Avenue has been commented upon favorably and unfavorably perhaps more than any other street in the past several months. But after all we know of no business in the city whose moral status, all things considered, is any better, nor where business, proportionally speaking, has increased any more in volume, or a greater bit of sectional pride displayed by those in legitimate business than on Central Avenue. One hears of the expression, Greater Pico, Greater Broadway, Greater Western Avenue, but take it from one who knows, none is destined to become greater than Central Avenue. OLNE HILL BROADWAY STREET MAIN LOS ANGELES CITIES, LIKE INDIVIDUALS, HAVE HEARTS AND THIS IS THE FINANCIAL HEART OF LOS ANGELES The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or details. It appears to be a grayscale silhouette of a building with a sloped roof and a chimney. WHAT BUSINESS MEN HAVE HAD TO DO The biggest fight on the Avenue has been by business interests to help protect and retain the decent name in the interest of all concerned, and the city of Los Angeles in particular, against a very unfavorably high handed, cowardly attack by one or two of the uptown dealers, who, every time their reporters hear of a Jew and a Gentile, a Jap and a Greek, or a Black and White American attempting to amiably settle some small unpleasant differences, put out in great glaring head lines, RACE RIOT, and then proceed to tell a tale of lies that would shame the very innmates of NOT IMMUNE Pico, Western Avenue, Spring or Broadway, great as they claim to be, are not immune by far from such trifle incidents that these dailies make capital out of to gain a few extra pennies and nickels, at the expense of a group already saddled with hardships and problems. BOOT LEG AND ASSIGNATION HOUSES The records of the police department will not substantiate the purported accusations flung broadcast by this same channel of information that Central Avenue, and its neighborhood tributary is the only location where boot legging, houses of ill repute, dope and narcotics are to be found, and indulged in from a business stand point. Indeed we emphatically deny that they do exist, and if they do it is only in equal proportion with other thoroughfares, and neighborhoods. With the last ninety daye the neighborhood of Western Avenue has been highly excited at the police discovery, thanks to Chief Vollmer who has been crushing crime violators, matters not what the neighborhood, of two of the most modern equipped boot leg distilleries turning out a fliuid that robs the undertakers of the necessity of embalming the victim. Crime is the arch enemy of every decent, respectable person in our city, and Centra 1 Avenue and vicinity enjoys its share of respectable representatives. The price paid in advertisement to the dailies for ads in their papers by big influential business interests, so powerful that some newspapers must do their bidding, and that lack of advertisement support given our own papers spells the difference between what we receive in versed and adverse comment. Every time there is a wedding, dinner party, or dance, some of us interested in the affair are johnny on the spot to have it favorably commented upon. Every time trouble or reported trouble breaks cut, the officers of the Central Avenue publications are crowded with dozens wishing to break into wrist A SUGGESTION Suppose, just suppose that you and I, who are in business and do not advertise, joined the volume of those who do contribute toward supporting our Central publications, not out of sympathy for them, but because it is a business proposition; would bring you mere customers, consequently larger profits, and too, strengthen the hand of your public spokesman, friends, the only channel you have through which your interests may be looked after and protected. I say the only channels through which your interests may be looked after and protected, and if you don't believe it, take an article to the majority of your uptown dailies for publication and see what happens to it. Why because, you Mr. Business Man, great race man, in fact, when it costs nothing, are 100 per cent race man and American citizen, do not contribute ta that daily's upkeep and support. We'll agree with you that one individual or a group advertising in the columns of these dailies could not make them our spokesmen, but must acknowledge it would bring some consideration and create better feelings. Just suppose you who want more business, and those individuals who have money and means, and we have a bunch, had the cataracts cut from their eyes that they might see and visualize results to be gained. The controversy between Bullocks and a large daily and which ultimately cost the latter a few hundred thousand a couple of years ago, is an example of what failure to advertise cost them in publicity. While the controversy was supposed to be in the interest of the city's property, rights, that prived to be only camouflage, and that is why we citizens, and the good name of Central Avenue are constantly being assailed. Commencing with today, not tomorrow, not Jan. 1st, but today, get busy start a propaganda by supporting our Central Avenue publications and in particular the California Eagle, that along with one of its contemporaries has born the brunt of maintaining the high standard equilibrium forall citizens irrespective of race, creed, or groups. There is nothing unusual the matter with Central Avenue, only it needs your sincere and hearty support. REALTORS AND REAL ESTATE By William H. Gamble I have had several men and women to come to me during the year and ask me what they should do to obtain Real Estate License, as they were desirous of entering the Real Estate business. Most of them seemed to have thought that Real Estate Licenses were all that was necessary to make them fully competent, capable and trustworthy for the public to place their life's savings in their hands; and just as soon as the license were granted, they would be. WM. GAMBLE then and there, able to direct investments; make appraisals, draw all kinds of legal documents, advise which is better for their clients, Trust Deed or Contract, and protect their client from falling into the many traps set by dishonest and unscrupulous persons who are out to get any one in any and all kinds of ways. To them I endeavor to point out the great responsibilities and obligations of a realtor. The realtor is second only to a Medical Specialist in importance to the human family. Health and wealth go hand in hand.

(Upstairs) GAS FITTING AND JOBBING The Largest of its Kind in the West Our Workmen are Experienced and Reliable.—We carry a complete line of up-to-date Plumbing Fixtures. The highest in quality and a standard of merit. WE UNDERTAKE ALL JOBS In this Line—Large or Small, we do them all when he is dangerously ill, the best physician is called, not because he is licensed to practice, but because of his known ability, because of his experience in the great field of Medical Science, and because of his trustworthiness. The physician is called to aid the patient or client on to wealth. Without health one cannot enjoy wealth, and without a home one cannot enjoy health or independence. Consequently, we find the efficient and dependable, realtor, and the skilled family physician occupying relative positions of importance to the men and women whom they serve. The real estate dealers who will eventually make the greatest success and enjoy the confidence of the public, will be those who use discretion in placing their clients at the minimum commission allowed by the real estate commission of the State of California. There is a class of people who make a practice of buying property as low as they can get it hmere in the city, and putting it up for sale immediately for all they can get for it, and they find ready victims to prey upon, as there are many people who think that if they purchase direct from the owner, they get their property cheaper, when as a mattrt of fact they could have purchased better property at a lower cost through a reliable realtor. Today the experienced and dependable realtor takes pride in his work, he is an expert in his line, and he will find the property that best suits his client. He knows values; he knows how to invest, without him our great city would not be where it is today. The realtor and the Chamber of Commerce have done more to push our city ahead than any other one group. It requires the better part of the laboring man's life to save enough money to purchase a home, then why not be careful in selecting a realtor to advise him or her, as the case may be, as to the best possible investment, its value, and its chance for increasing in value, the legal instruments necessary to properly convey the property to him. Everyone who possibly can, should invest in some kind of property. The land that can be bought today at a fair price and terms cannot keep from increasing in value. We cannot help growing, we cannot help the expansion. Los Angeles is in the midst of a steady growth. This is not a boom, it is a stable advancement, it is the result of natural resource combined with the millions of dollars that are being brought from all over the world to our city, and being invested in great manufacturing and industrial plants. I cannot understand persons who are not taking advantage of these wonderful opportunities, for there will be a time, and it is not far away, when a single lot will cost you as much as a whole block is now worth. I know that everyone has a right to his or her own opinion, but I cannot for the life that is in me, see how a man in his right mind will continue to pay high rent, when he is able to make the first payment on a home his own. So I say, BUY NOW, while the prices are still within your reach, and to the ones who DO NOT purchase, I say, You will pay a great price for negligence. OUR POPULATION No one that has actually had the opportunity of seeing Los Angeles, can fail to agree that she is destined to become one of the greatest cities of the world. Already there is within the precincts of the city, a population of over one million. Nor are these figures reached promiscuously. Our Chamber of Commerce, and such other authorities as the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association, our Colored Reality board, and many other reliable authorities are responsible for this statement that the million are here. Visit the industrial section on the East side and you will not only agree that the one million are here, but that every one of that million that wants to work has a job or position to support him. And that is the most important reason why Los Angeles is growing in such a healthful manner. Because the industries are here to guarantee each individual that enters a chance to earn a livelihood and buy a home without subjecting themselves to unnecessary hardships. With the coming of industries came the expansion of banks until at the present time each bank has from one to three five or seven branches. Nothing can stop the city's progress, so let's each of us do our part toward making a greater Los Angeles because the city rests upon a foundation that is sound. FORGING AHEAR Perhaps no mame in the realms of local business is better known than that of Mrs. Mamie V. White. Mrs. White conducts one of the largest employment agencies in the city and enjoys the distinction of being the only woman in that avenue. Hundreds of new comers to our city owe their present prosperity to the fact that through the business enterprise of this energetic young woman they were, following their arrival, able to secure well paying positions that gave them their start. Mrs. White is well known, and popular, and deserving of the patronage of all. The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text.

ORANGE REALTY CO. Ere long the year 1923, which came in so promisingly., and lasted so well, will have sung its swan song and departed and in its stead, we shall be living in a new year, a new age. During this year the Orange Realty Company has been one of the few concerns that has found it necessary to increase its office space, so heavy has been its increased volume of business. Mr. V. M. Cole, president, wishes to acknowledge his appreciation for the confidence placed in his concern by the public and wishes each and all a happy new year. The Eastside Realty Company needs no introduction to the public. Their rapid rise from an unknown business concern to one of the leading lights in their line has been inundated spectacular. Subdivisions were unheard of before among colored dealers until the Eastside opened up and sold out a large tract in the Southeast part of the city. The Company is responsible for many new steps taken in the business by others and has under consideration several huge propositions for the coming year that are destined to revolutionize the real estate business as now conducted. In this, the closing issue of the year they extend season's greetings to each and all. READ THIS! Recently in this city, there appeared at the door of a colored property who, after exchanging morning greetings with the owner's wife, stated her owner a stylishly dressed white lady, mission as very desirous of purchasing said property for a colored doctor, and offered nine thousand dollars. That evening when her husband came from work, the wife told him of the offer to buy them out, and the amount which was six thousand, five hundred more than they paid for it. The story sounded real until in a conversation the following day with another colored citizen who owned property in the neighborhood the fact was brot out that they too, had a similar offer, only it was for a colored lawyer from the East. Great Scott! What could be happening that there was such a demand at those prices for their homes for colored professional men; when homes of their style and order could be purchased for much less elsewhere. The truth was finally brought to light that said lady really did want to purchase the homes, but not for the purposes stated. It was to rid the neighborhood of its colored neighbors. Thus far the temptation has not prooved inviting enough, and folks still enjoy their home fire. Don't be too anxious to sell if satisfied, because there is a big difference between yesterday and today. BARGAINS FOR SALE BY WILLIAM H.

STARNES ```markdown ``` THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE ROBINSON RANKS HIGH IN SERVICE OF COUNTY L. G. Robinson, since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, has been in the service of Los Angeles County. And in this service he has made an enviable record. He is not only a credit to himself, his race but to the county of Los Angeles, and is noted for his integrity, industry, and efficiency. In fact with him efficiency is the key note of his success. M. B. L. G. ROBINSON With a pleasing personality, no person can meet Mr. Robinson except to appreciate him and learn of his worth in organizing the large force of workers under his supervision for efficient service. Mr. Robinson takes no credit unto himself, but rather gives the same to the men who have never hesitated to cooperate with him for the service of the county. He also gives high credit to the supervisors for their cooperation and interest in this particular branch of service. In all affairs for the civic, religious and fraternal betterment of this county, L. G. Robinson can be found to the forefront, and a strong supporter of enterprises conducted by our group. The Soaring Eagle appreciates his worth, his interest and support and hesitates not to chronicle these lines to this fellow servant whom we believe to be a friend to man. IN THE MUSIC WORLD By John A. Gray Many of the disappointments that parents experience in their children's development could be avoided if they would use preventive measures in time. For instance, ambitious parents will deprive themselves of many necessities and makes untold sacrifices. In order to send their children through college or university. Their greatest hope is to be able to see them blossom forth into great men and women. How rudely are they disappointed when these same children for whom they have suffered so long, return from school and find that father and mother are old-fashioned, somewhat crude in manners, and unfamiliar with even the common topice of today. In short, they are ashamed to present their thoven or Brahms. The parents find new friends to father and mother. And why are they ashamed? Who must be blamed for this condition? If father and mother had realized years before that in order for their children to be proud of them, they would be compelled to improve themselves culturally, such a condition might have been avoided. And it seems that the more parents have sacrificed the less the children think of them. It is better for a young man or woman to work all summer, in order to be able to go to school next winter, than it is for him to loaf all summer and expect father and mother to finance him the next winter. The latter procedure only makes him unappreciative and lazy. No child is too good nor too precious to work for his own advancement. There are different mental strata just as there are different strata of earth and rock. One is higher or lower than the other. When an individual begins to develop his thinking faculties, he commences to ascend to a newer and higher mental plane. It is natural for him to look down on those mentally inferiq. Mother and father might have used their money in buying books and periodicals and might have used some of their time in studying them. Night schools are open for everyone where instruction is free. At least they would be conversant with modern topics and would have an intelligent view of the present conditions. How surprised would son or daughter be to find that their parents are able to keep the conversation going and are able to express themselves intelligently when the occasion arises. More important, however, is the fact that they can, in some measure, appreciate the achievements of the children. If the child has chosen music as his medium how appointed is he to find that no one at home can appreciate his Bach. Bee only noise where they should find lofty thoughts, beauty, character. We know of cases where parents have sent their children to Europe and upon their return have found much more pleasure in hearing them play jazz music than in playing the music of the masters. How foolish to make such a sacrifice and not be able to appreciate the result. No wonder children are ashamed. As with the individual, so with the race. We must study, read, hear good music and develop, if we would really be able to appreciate our coming young musicians. We have a Roland Hayes, a Florence Talbert, a Hazel Harrison and others. How many of us can really appreciate them? Is it not time for us to start if we would have them feel proud of us instead of ashamed? DR. STARNES-SELLS THE TABLES THAT CURE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE!

CLAUD V. PITTS SUCCEEDS PROF. AUSTIN Prof. Claude V. Pitts' promotion as head of the Los Angeles Music and Sing Association comes as no surprise to his friends, for he is one of the city's most prominent musicians. Those who have had a standing acquaintance with Prof. Pitts, realize MRS. RUTH BANKS Immediately upon her arrival in this city in June, Miss Banks began to seek the companionship of those engaged in the profession of teaching. She learned that the time for the city examination for those aspiring to be teachers was close at hand and determined to be among the aspirants. Her efforts were crowned with immediate success; for she received an appointment to the primary department of the Palo Verde School. Miss Banks comes from the middle West and is a graduate of the Kansas State Normal, which is one of the best institutions of its kind in that section. Miss Banks holds the position of secretary of this organization, and has proven herself very efficient. She is untiring in her efforts and has the ability that the association is very proud of. And it would not be complete to close this sketch without mentioning Miss Helen Beavera, our stenographer, who is a very worthy addition to our organization. She has a pleasing personality, and takes care of our office work in a very satisfactory manner to the extent that the school would be at a loss without her services. MOZELLE TE OUTLEY Pres. Los Angeles Music and Sing Association The subject of this sketch is a woman well experienced in the musical world. She is an alumnus of Roger Williams University, Nashville, Tenn., and was, at one time, assistant music teacher at that institution. Mrs. Outley was pianist of the choiral class of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, Ill., of which Dr. L. K. Williams is pastor, for five years. While that he has always aimed at the stars in his profession, and they do not hesitate to prophesy that his success will be abundant. As head of the Association, Prof. Pitts has much room for expansion, and it is believed that through him the voice of the Association will be heard, not only in Los Angeles, but on the Pacific Coast, and from coast to coast. holding this position she began the study of the organ under Prof. W. Alphonso Johnson and after two years study, was elected organist of the Pilgrim Baptist Church, which is now located at 33rd and Indiana Ave., of which Dr. S. E. J. Watson is pastor. She held this position until moving to Los Angeles, Cal. in 1921. Mrs.' Outley was pianist for the Nationl Baptist Convention which convened here Sept. 1923, and her work was, so satisfactory that she was elected National Baptist Pianist for the Convention which will convene in Nashville, Tenn., September, 1924. Mrs. Outley has traveled very extensively as pianist and reader for Chautauqua and Lyceum Bureau, and the experience gained thereby has placed her in the first rank in her special line. She is teacher of piano, sight singing and elocution in this conservatory and because of her personality and keen insight of human nature, one will be amply repaid to sit under her instruction. BIG MASS MEETING IN INTEREST OF INDUSTRIAL SETTLEMENT HOME The Big Sunday afternoon meeting of the past week at Tabernacle Baptist Church, 12th and Hemlock Sts., was a glorious success. Los Angeles citizens rallied to the support of Miss Bessie Simon who has been in Los Angeles for the past few months in the interest of the home. It is believed that many substantial donations will be secured for the home during Miss Simon's stay in Los Angeles, and the Eagle says, let every support. DOCTOR M.

LOAFING AROUND PLACES OF BUSINESS It is a common thing to visit an office or a business establishment owned by our people and see two or three men who are out of employment, or who may be employed, but off duty, sitting around engaged in a useless conversation or a heated argument that attracts the attention of pedestrians on the streets and particularly persons who come in stores or business places to transact business. Such persons may be there because they have nothing to do, or hare no other place to go, or because the proprietor wishes them to come in to gossip. Let the circumstances be what they may, it is bad policy, and poor judgment from a business standpoint. or sitting around observing their purchases, especially women. People who go to a doctor's or Lawyer's office, as a rule, go there on private business. They do not want to see anyone sitting around listening to their conversation or wondering what the trouble may be; and as it is with the businesses and offices mentioned, so it is with every kind of business in which we are engaged. We always prefer when we go into any business establishment that no one be present, except the person or persons we are to do business with, or to make our purchase through. Barber shops, pool and club rooms are supposed to be places where men gather to waste their time and engage in useless conversations. Often these do-nothing people who gather about different places, get so loud and boisterous that they can be heard by persons passing on the streets of by customers coming to the place to transact business before they enter. Or when not too loud, they often show equally apodor breeding by continuing to sit; talk and laugh, when customers come to transact business with the proprietor. Such conduct constitutes a nuisance, and the sooner the "boss" of the place learns that and puts a stop to it, the better it will be for his business. Many a doctor has lost a good patient who came near enough to hear or see people loafing in his office, and desiring to see him personally and not being seen, have passed by his office and gone to some other doctor where more privacy is observed. Especially is this true of women. The same thing holds good for all the businesses and professions. A business place of whatever kind, should be used strictly for the purpose it was established for and should be kept clean and inviting at all times. A place of business should "clean out" every thing but business during business hours.

BROWN Hold! gentlemen, hold! For God's sake wait, just one moment's speech please, just one little request. I realize that no power on earth could stay the crime for which they are destined. Fully do I know that not one of you would endeavor to spare my life. But won't you be so good as to permit me to see my mother? Three years have passed since I have looked into her face. I have been away to college. I have just finished Harvard Law School and have returned home to visit her, my mother. I was on my way to her house, which is about three miles down the road, and I was happy as the lark which you hear in the meadow, when you men selzed me. For what? I do not fully know. For some crime no doubt, of which I am innocent. But because I appear to be a stranger, my face is black and because your hound dogs sniffed at my legs, you laid hold of me crying, "Lynch him! Lynch him." An dthat is what you are planning to do. Already you have thrown a rope over the lower branch of that huge oak. The spirit of lynching has contaminated your minds and bodies. Yes, even now you yell "Lynch him! Lynch him!" Surely you can lynch me. What could one black man do against 300 whites? Yes, what could one white man do against 300 black ones?—Nothing! But that isn't the question. Being a lawyer, as I am, I could, in the course of time prove to you as citizens of these United States, where in you are basely wrong. I could influence you to see the great civic injustice that you commit in lynching me. But in the end, all this would be of naught. For you are determined in your hearts to hang me to that tree. It isn't my life that I want, gentlemen, no, it isn't that. I could have it if I did, there I do not. But, oh, men of the Southland! God created men sons of honorable and noble American citizens, it is this one request that I beg you grant me. Please let me journey down this very road just over the summit of that wooded hill to a little brown house where I may see and kiss for the last time my dear mother. This is all I ask, "What! you rear back no? You yell still louder—lynch him." Are you men, have you souls, is there any human in you at all, or are you the lowest of heathens who would not permit an innocent boy to see for the last time his mother? THE UNIVERSE The tremendous strides made by science in the past decade, have eclipsed all former period for variety of achievements. No branch of science has been without some striking advancement. The layman has viewed the successive results of scientific research with varying opinions. He is certain to ridicule anything, be it science or what you will, if in his mind the data are not clear. It is not always the new things which serve to puzzle his incomprehending mind, but the facts of old, even ancient subjects are scuffed at. The facts of Astronomy perhaps the oldest of the sciences, the results of the study of which bears relations of utmost importance to our daily life, has received perhaps more than its share of depreciation. Belief in the conclusions arrived ta by scientists comes only after long study of the procedure and methods involved in the determination of the facts. Moreover, no scientist is able to broach a new theorv or discovery, but that it receives the closest scrutiny by the scientific world before it is accepted. So the layman who cares to delve in the field of pure science can be assured that the basic facts are incontrovertibly true. The earliest recorded history of man contains evidence of an interest in the stars which were no doubt, place there by the great Creator, as he sent this insignificant portion, spinning in space. The early studies resulted in a series of myths, which have left their imprint, since many of the names, of mythology are still used in designating the "stars". But it was necessary for Galilio to invent the telescope for great progress to be made. Since then it has been a matter of time and of genius for the facts to become known. The marked improvement in optical mechanics, the adaptation of photography to astronomical observations, the perfection of the spectroscope, have all been important factors, in the attainment of the results as they are. These instruments and others together with intricate mathematical processes have given us data previously almost unhoped for. The determination of the speed of light which was first obtained astronomically was the first step toward further knowledge. Light is proven to have a speed of 106,000 miles per second and from this is shown clearly why some "stars" move, and others do not; why some have shape and others are merely points of light of varying intensities; in other words why some are planets and others merely stars. Since a beam of light will travel 186,00 miles per second in one year it will travel $311\%$ times that distance, this resulting quantity is termed a light-year, and many of the brighter stars are known to be many light-years away. For the reason, any orbital motion they may have cannot be noticed by methods of observation in use at present. The planets Jupiter, Neptune, Vranus, Mars, Venus, Saturn and Mercury are "closer" to the Earth, and are known to travel in orbits and to be spherical in shape. Jupiter, the largest, has seven moons, and Saturn has a peculiar system of rings" encircling its equater. Mars has a system qi canals, on its surface which have been photographed, and Dr. W. W. Campbell, states that, "there is live on Mars without a doubt." Many other interesting data has been discovered of this group. The earth is known to be 92,000,000 miles away from the sun, a distance called the astronomical unit. Some of the planets are closer to the sun, some are further away; Jupiter being 60 units away. In point of size Jupiter is many times as large as our earth but all the planets together represent less than one per cent of the total matter in the system, the Sun contains the remainder. This group of planets with a few small stars revolve around the Sun in orbits or paths that resemble elipses. If we represent their orbits as slightly elongated circles, and make them on a scale of one inch equals one astronomical unit, they could all be placed ni a box 5 feet square and one-half-inch deep, and then we would have, on a small scale, a plan of our solar system. The planets which make up this solar system are arranged quite similarly, each with its axial motion and orbital motion, moving in concentric paths in the same plane. There are other planetary systems of the same type, each with its "sun" and each quite independent of the others. That there are other "suns" is clearly shown for Betelgeuse, the outstanding star with the Constellation Orion. It is many times larger than our Sun, but appears, owing to its great distance, as a bright point of light. A great deal has been said by the learned and unlearned relative to the Sups motion. To quote Dr. Campbell again, in substance, the Sun with its planets is hurtling through space at the rate of 400 miles per second. Veritabw the "Sun do move." With the dates approaching, upon which the Sun and Moon will be observed in eclipse, the ordinary public is paving slightly more attention to the things above us. May some minds among our negro youth feel a compelling urge to venture forth into some field of original research and blaze his name on Time's book of achievement WILLIAM RUX, Jr. LURE OF THE OPEN ROAD It was late in the afternoon. The sight of the setting sun shedding its last flickering rays gave the sky a mixture of soft colors. Everything seemed fresh and fragrant. Far out the green foliage of the trees and shrubbery and grass was pleasing. Contented, well-fed cows munched lazily. Just beyond great gorges a lone cow puncher, riding his trusty steed, moved slowly, noalg. His appearance was very picturesque with the Arizona country. As we climbed steadily up the grade we could see a few horses grazing near fallen trees and broken branches. The pasture lands were exquisite—little streamlets meandering here and there in miniature valleys. We also saw many stately pine trees on the hillsides. All the while the swy was softening and the end of day was fast nearing! As I gazed at the great bouncers and masses of rock which resembled huge collections of Egyptian mummies I had visions of Egypt and the great Sahara of the Egyptians and their rulers. Between these brown and gray mountains, and above, the blue sky with dabs of motionless white clouds could be seen. Mrs. Spear Bass Gives Hundred Dollars to Sanitarium, Dr. Eugene C. Nelson Donates Like Amount. Backing up the splendid gifts of Dr. Norman Bridge, Editor Harry Chandler, Dr. John R. Haynes, Mayor Geo. E. Cryer, Dr. George P. Clements of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and others, the Colored Citizens of Los Angeles opened up their drive for donations to raise their quota of the Santa Clara, Sanitarium fund, Mesa Charlotta Spear Bass, editor of the California Eagle led the list by subscribing $100.00 donation. A committee of young women of the race is calling upon every prominent colored man and woman to do his part in building this much needed institution. As soon as the 30,000 bricks allotted to us have been sold strong white friends stand ready to complete the 0100,000 fund, and within thirty days thereafter begin the erection of the sanitarium in the wonderful Santa Clara Valley, Lower California, Mexico. Miss Dorothy Armstrong is leading fifteen patriotic young women of our race in the brick selling and subscription campaign. She is being assisted by Miss Hazel Matteson. To date 1,500 of the 30,000 bricks have been sold. Don't fail to buy your brick and mawe your subscription. Last week another one of our people died of tuberculosis because of lack of sanitarium treatment. Buy a brick and donate to help save these lives that are being needlessly wasted. Help today. It may be your turn to need help tomorrow. STOCKHOLM, (Sweden)—Aug. 3—Rallying to the request of American Negro delegates, Baptists of all races in attendance at the third congress of the Baptist World Alliance here elected the Rev. Dr. L.K. Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention and pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, the largest Church in the world, to the executive committee of the alliance. The Negro delegates were led by the Rev. C. H. Parrish of Louisville, Ky., and the Rev. E. Arlington Wilson of Dallas, Texas. They were appointed by Dr. Williams, as head of the Baptist Convention, before they left America. Other delegates were: T. S. Sandefur, Camden, Ark., J. H. May, Shreveport, La, C. S. Brown, Winton, N. C. J. W. aBiley, Marshall, Tex., R. A. Adams, Dermott, Ark, Miss Fannie Givens, Louisville, Ky., F. W. Wiliams, Norgolk, Va., W. H. Ricks, Newark, N. J., J. P. Robinson, Little Rock, Ark., J. H. Henderson, Knoxville, Tenn., Walter H. Brooks, Washington, D. C., E. R. Carter, Atlanta, Ga., W. H. Rozier, Los Angeles, Cal., A. A. Graham, Phoebus, Va., Mrs. S. B. Brown, Reidsville, N. C. C. H. Parrish, Jr., Lousville, Ky., O. J. Allen, Statesville, N. C. and D. S. Klugh, Boston Mass. Dr. Williams, chosen for the new honor, has had a meteoric career in church work, starting in a small way in Texas and rapidly achieving the sort of things to cause his constant advancement. He came to Chicago during the World War and quickly assumed a place of leadership in the city's affairs, being made a member of the Lowden Commission on Race Relations, and revived the work of the great church to which he had been called. SELECTION IS ALMOST AUTOMATIC It is thus apparent that light—which is real, tangible, electronic material and not a glea mof empty space as many believe—is a substantial thing, which hits you like a man's tist, but much more gently, in the eye. The various colors are pleasant or unpleasant, perhaps, according to the size and strength of the blows. Blue rains down sharper and shorter waves much more frequently in a given time than does red. Red is a series of slow, long particles that are like the tapping, gently tapping of some soothing lotion. Black rains up most of the blows and thus frees the eyes from the knocking and banging, while bright light fairly beats a drum fire of seventy-fives upon the retina. Colors of course, differ not only in the legions of hues, but in their brightness and luminosity. Yellow and adjacent colors are much brighter than the others. It is a psychological difference, not a "psychic" one. There is also in nature a reflection or a mixture of white light in many colors seen. This dilutes the strength of the color and makes "grays" and hues of "reduced value." Rays of light are not mere vibrations as is still taught by some books. They are actual loss of substance from the source of illumination sent out far and wide. The particles travel as clouds of dust do. The rate at which they travel makes the hue. If small and close together in waves sent out rapidly they are seen as violet by bees as well as man, by birds as well as butterflies. Yous mental processes have no more to do with it than they have to do with the recognition that a mountain is different from a mole hill, that the nightingale's song differs. from the squak of a sea gull. If the waves of particles are slowly sent out in wide circles, and very large, red is seen. The impression or "ideas" or "phantisms" or "images" received by the retina differ as color according to the worldly realities of the wave length of each cloud of likht particles that strike the eye. Colors are as unconsciously interpreted as the fact that the whole is greater than any of its parts, that the eye is made to see, that a circle cannot be squared, because the very definition of a circle is something that is contradictory in physics, metaphysics and language to a square.

Stars and woods and stream his altars—God is very near him there" More than 25 boys between the ages of 12 and 18 have already signed to spend the ideal vacation at the Y. M. C. A. summer camp in the Sierra Madre mountains August 16 to 23. The camp which is under the supervision of Harold Wilson, is 4,000 feet above sea level on the West Fork of the San Gabriel river, back of Mt. Lowe and Mt. Wilson, in the heart of the Sierra Madre Mountains. The camp nestles on the side of the canyon, in the shade of large spruce and oak trees, with a beautiful mountain stream running through the camp grounds. This stream feeds a fine cement swimming pool. There is splendid opportunity here for hikes, fishing, baseball, basket ball, volleyball, swimming and many other joyful activities. Mr. Wilson, who is spending the summer home, has been attending Western University in Kansas City, Mo., conducted the camp last year when he organized the Rangers Club, composed of the following boys' Wallace Markham, Kenneth Levy, Eugene Benjamin, Henderson Benjamin, Theodore Ecton, Wilbur Sadler, Vernon Harding, Stanley Curtis, Thomas Nelson, and Earl Robinson. The leader is a young man of exceptional merit, chosen especially for his ability and personal qualities. He is prepared to give real service and expert wide influence for good upon the boys placed in his charge. The kitchen and cooking will be handled by Harry Silke an expert cook who has successfully presided over this important part of comp the past two sumers. He will be under the immediate supervision of the camp director. A series of three concerts by the boys will help defray expenses of the camp. Each boy will be assessed $10 for the eight days, but in order to meet other minor expenses programs will aid greatly. The first concert was given at the Watts Community Hall. Following was the program offered: Saxaphone Solo—Wilbur Sadler; Reading (original) Opportunity—Henderson Benjamin; Vocal Solo—Stanley Curtis; Acrobatic Stunts—Harold Scott; Vocal Solo—Miss Florence Lishey; Comedy Sketch—Henderson and Eugene Benjamin; Finale: Bishops Condlesticks—one act play by Ellis Salisbury, Leroy Dent, Tolita Meeks, Juia Ellis, Reginald Lishey. A large audience was present and a donation given the boys. Other concerts are at 2nd A. M. E. Church, 1736 E. 53d St. Friday night, August 10; the final at the Y. M. C. A. August 15. Camp traditions make the Rag a thing earnestly sought and highly prized. This system of Honor badges is now used in all the camps of this state. The Blue Rag is awarded as a recognition to those showing the proper Camp spirit. A Brown Rag is given to those Blue Raggers' who throughout the year, and in Camp, have proven themselves worthy and have shown an increased Camp Spirit. A Red Rag represents Camp's highest honor. Honor men have a large part in conducting the Camp activities. An unknown committee judges upon these things. Health nonness, promptness, cheerfulness, warmers, service, trustworthiness, obeissance. That committee must be recommitted to the Camp Director. After the boy has memorized Ragger's Law and ceremony, he is presented with his Rag, the appropriate color bandana, in an impressive secret service attendant copy by the Rag 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.

Real Estate, Loans and Fire Insurance NOTARY PUBLIC gers and the boy being initiated. An initiation ceremony of the Blue Raggers was held at the Y. on the 27 when the following boys received blue rags: Kemeth Levy, Henderson Benjamin and Theodore Ecton. Wilbur Sadler, Wallace Markham, and Vernon Harden are the other raggers. All packs and money should be turned over to the camp director at Y. M. C. A. on or before the 13. Two trucks will be engaged, to take the packs and boys to the mountains. The Why of Camps may be summed up thusly: An ideal vacation for the boy. A summer outing at nominal cost. Health and character building activities under trained Christian leadership. Fellowship with God and man in beautiful mountain camp. Hikes, games and supervised swimming in cement plunge fed by mountain stream. Bible Study and Camp-Fire decision meetings. Situation at Negro Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee Reveals Lack of Doctors and Specialists Report Shows Also Yearly Increase of Doctors and Nurses Needed to Adequately Aid Suffering of Race (By Wendell P. Gladden, Jr.) Some very interesting facts concerning the Government hospital for Negro veterans suffering from mental disorders and tuberculosis, established recently at Tuskegee, Alabama, were disclosed in an article which appeared in the July 18 issue of The Outlook. It was necessary to create a staff of specialists for the two difficult fields already mentioned and a large number of trained nurses. According to the statement in the magazine, the original plan was to have a white staff of doctors and head nurses, the other nurses colored. Later the plans were changed so that there might be a complete Negro staff. Meantime, the hospital was opened with a skeleton staff of white doctors and nurses. The task of replacing that staff with competent doctors would have to be made under regulations of the Civil Service Commission, which would appoint eligibles whether white or colored. An adequate staff of Negro X-ray men, bacteriologists, and dentists, was developed, the article pointed out, but the number of specialists in mental disorders and tuberculosis was very limited. Several days ago the situation grew tense, when the white population at Tuskegee objected to having Negroes comprise the staff on the grounds that there was not a sufficient number competent, and the community might be endangered. The N. A. A. C. P. requested the Government to send troops to the scene. This act, according to The Outlook, was "injudicious," because it incited members of both races A report from the Department of the Interior in collaboration with Howard University showed that the average number of doctors and dentists graduating from various institutions throughout the country is 63, while the number of trained nurses is 90. It declared further, that in order to meet the demand adequately 500 doctors and dentists, and 600 trained nurses should be the yearly increase. The fact was brought out that more doctors and dentists are practicing in the five large cities, New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Washington than in all the 16 southern states where the population of Negroes is approximately 8,000,000. If the trouble arising over the Veterans hospital and the investigation did nothing more it proved the amazing lack of medical men and nurses and especially specialists of the race. It has long been argued that young men and women should venture into other fields of endeavor, because the medical profession was crowded. Since the investigation it can be seen clearly that there is indeed great need for men and women in other vocations, but that training in medicine is still very needed.

The latter dainties served nowhere else in the world but at Catalina island, where these game sea monsters are caught. Then there are sandabs, crawfish, and abalones, also a seafood distinctive of the island. "Cream, butter and cheese are kept in another refrigerator. Along one wall of the kitchen are special screened shelves, artificially ventilated, into which cooked foods are placed before being put into the big refrigerator. "A large ice plant is part of the kitchen equipment of the Hotel St. Catharine. Several tons of ice are manufactured here. There is machinery for moulding into blocks, chipping and shaving huge ice cream and sherbert machines. Rodney Jefferson's frozen dainties are famed. The ice plant also supplies the entire cooling system of the hotel kitchen. The hotel kitchen also has its own electric plant. "Then we come to a warner clime—the bake shop Here Baker Henry Haneman piles his art. The cookies, tarts, cakes, bread, Johnny-cake, gingercake and oh, too many goodies to tell about, are made. Gallons and gallons of rich Middle Ranch cream, cases on cases of albs, sacks of sugar INC.-REAL ESTATE 50 CENTRAL AVE., TE-L-D HUM.8289 and all the good things that go into the richest of pastry are consumed. Electric mixers, kncaders and creamers are the baker's assistants. His large brick oven is kept busy twenty-four hours of the day. "But let us look around the main kitchen. Here are electric toasters, egg boilers, electric gridle cake and waffle frons, tea and coffee urns, roll warmers, long steam tables, enormous ovens and stoves. "Oh yes, how about the dish washing, that nightmare of all cooking? An electric dishwashing machine washes, sterilizes, dries and polishes fifteen thousand dishes per hour. It takes ten men to feed this machine and receive the clean dishes to put away on the shelves. The men who take the sterilized dishes from the machine wear sterilized white cotton gloves, so each dish comes to the table of the Hotel St. Catherine chemically clean. Even the refuse of this big kitchen is taken care of in a sanitary way-put fresh into a separate refrigeration vault where it is kept twenty-four hours and thoroughly frozen before being hauled away." "Rich, wholesome food, prepared by a master chef in an ultra clean manner—small wonder that the cuisine of the beautiful Hotel St. Catherine at Catalina makes you hungry to even think about." "What must such truly Southern dishes as baked Virginia ham with candled yams, roast suckling pig, with baked apples, Kentucky burgoo, smothered equab chicken with green corn fritters, Johnnycake, ginger, bread, are daily daubles at Hotel St. Catherine, luscious food would make even an invalid sit up and take notice." Chef Jefferson has made an enviable record; in the entire five years on the Island, he has never been one minute late for a single meal, though bakers have walked out, and the Union men struck, but the Chef knows every department and can do ten men's work, and as his head assistant, Mr. Sweatman, one of the hundreds, of splendid-young colored men he has trained, who is holding big jobs said: "The men love him and greater patience, I have never seen. I hope in my life time I can be just one half as good. He can cut up any beast or fowl without ever using a saw—he knows the anatomy of the carcass so well. In fact, he is an all around man, a close student, who attends strictly to business and is always on the job." Chef Jefferson explains his keen interest in this fashion: "For a man of the Wrigley caliber, I would not be more careful and judicious in the handling of my own business than his trust. He has been the whitest man in the world to me, and I love him because he expects every man to produce and I am going to stay with Mr. Wrigley as long as I can get results." He twitched his head to one side as he smiled characteristically and added: "He has been so nice, I wouldn't have nerve enough to leave him. I came here expecting to stay six months, and I have been here five years." As a little surprise for Mr. Wrigley, Chef Jefferson has prepared over a ton and a half of figs in 20 different styles, just to show the Big Boss what can be done with the vast quantity found on the island. Chef Jefferson is a man past fifty, still he is in the best of health and mounts the steps to his private rooms, three at a time. He says it all depends on what you eat, and from the number of people who get well at Catalina Island, following the dietary plans laid down by Chef Jefferson, we suppose he must be right: Chef Jefferson became reminiscent when he spoke of Eddie Wick's, his friend, and the late Senior Steward, who passed away. "Well" he consoled himself, "when he became incapacitated, the Company did everything for him and his pay went right on. They paid his hospital bill of over $1,000 and then sent him to Kansas, and paid all the expenses of his wife and brother Charlie, who now has advanced to his place on the steamer." The little fellow was touched, and his words came with an effort as he proceeded: "Mrs. Wrigley is a great big mother to everyone and he is wonderful. What he tells you, you can rely on." He grew eloquent as he burst out, "I do not believe there is another couple in America like them. There is nothing I would not do for them." We will never forget Catalina, for tears came to our eyes as the island Orchestra played a beautiful Hawaiian forewell tune as the boat very slowly if not reluctantly, moved out in the deep blue sea. Fondly, we gazed until blue sea, the giant rocks were lost to sight. Notwithstanding we did not even tell of our trip on the Glass Bottom Boat, showing the wonders of the sea, we add our approval to this unique revelation of the ocean secrets and the onchanted island of "mother's home cooking" in the universal language of every visitor. "In all the World, No Trip Like This." UNITE FOR CHARITY Local Societies to Hold Big Christmas Bazaar in Cosmopolitan Bldg.

Comment: In a survey made by the Homilistic Review on the "Young peoples problem in the church" the following comment was made: the principle causes of worse condition among young people is—bad example and lax discipline of parents, modern dance, and immoral suggestions of the movies. It would seem therefore, that instead of this generation going to the devil, that it was the last generation that went, and that this generation has but to imbibe the hell in which they are b'ought up. They are neither responsible for the modern dance, the movies or their own existence. 6 Sunday was a gala day at St. Paul A. M. E. church the congregation enjoyed a glorious sermon. Rev. R. H.

MASS MEETING OPENS NORTHWESTERN CONVENTION The convention of the Northwestern Federation of Coloured Women's Club opened on Sunday afternoon, July 15th with a mass meeting at St. Paul's Baptist Church. Mrs. Paul Lowery Winters, President of the California State Federation, wished, after being introduced by Mrs. Moxley, Past President. After assembly singue, M. S. Moxley read preamble from Miss Hilley Q. Brown, National Press Jent, followed by greetings from Mrs. Eliza Warner, President Ringling, California State Federation, and Rev. Holk, pastor St. Paul's Baptist Church; Rev. A. M. Ward, Mr. McKinnan, on behalf of A. L. Forum; Mrs. H. S. Houston of Onuesday evening at Eighth and Temple Avenue Church, Prof. Elmer C. Bortlett presented his pupilship in his sixth annual piano and pipe organ recital. A large crowd listened to an interesting program of some thirty or more numbers consisting of solos, duets, six, eight and twelve-hand piano numbers. The audience was particularly delighted with the unusual ensemble numbers which included, "If I Were King" for three pianos and twelve hands, and "Overture to William Tell" for two pianos and eight hands. Assisting on the program were Miss Velma White, juvenile soprano; Miss Ada Ross, reader; Miss Anna Mae Griffith, lyric soprano, and Mr. Atwell Rose, violinist. The stage setting, unusually beautiful and unique, was a delightful surprise to the audience. Majestically occupying the rostrum or stage proper stood three Sohmer concert grand pianos. At advantageous places in the choir loft where the pupils were seated, were arranged lovely colorful floor lamps and around the foot of the stage were beautiful baskets of flowers. The whole lent a soft, classic atmosphere quite in keeping with the artistic occasion of the evening. The pupils rendered their numbers creditably and with an assurance that showed they had been well-prepared for the concert night with good common sense instruction. Prizes were awarded for scholarship and application and the Bartlett Studio is to be especially commended for this simple means of encouraging its pupils to strive for the best. The prizes were awarded for merit regardless of grade of advancement. They were presented by Assemblyman F. M. Roberts. Miss Mattie Nelson, winner of the first prize, a gold medal, played Mundeldsohn's "Dondo Capriccioso" in a manner that showed exceptional talent. Miss Cartherine Bowers rendered extremely well "Concert Piece No. 2" on the organ. She is one of the best of the younger student organists and if she continues with the rapid progress she is making, she will rank high as an organist. Both Miss Bowers and Miss Nelson are to give recitals in the fall and winter. Mary Jane Clark, winner of the second prize, the silver medal, played Schubert's "Impromptu." Although a very young girl, Mary Jane showed unusual talent in her dexterity of finger work, her pretty singing and singing melody. She has been well taught and if she continues, one sees in her a real pianist. Little Willie Polk was the youngest prize winner. A bronze medal was presented her as third prize. She played "Cinderella" by Kuhn very well and says that next year she will strive for the gold medal. Tuesday night Elmer C. Bartlett renewed the impression of his worth as a teacher. Perseverance and earnest study has rewarded him with a piano and organ class of which he may justly feel proud. The Bartlett Studio has adopted the University Course of Music Study and Prof. Bartlett has been especially trained to teach this course. He is an affiliated teacher and holds a certificate for same from the National Academy of Music. His studio is located at 936 East Pico Street. the Eastern Star; Mrs. S. Joe Brown of Des Moines, Iowa, Grand Worthy Mansion, international Council of the Eastern State University. The President of the Northwestern Federation, Mrs. Snowden-Porter, was then introduced, also Mme. Azalia of Chicago; Mrs. Carter of Arizona, and Mrs. James of Arizona. All made brief interesting works. Music was furnished by the Wilkins Academy of Music, pupils of Professor John A. Gray, and Miss Hazel Gottschalk. Mr. Malcolm Patton, well-known baritone, and his sister, Mrs. Junita Patton-Parker, rendered a duet. The Brandon Quartet, directed by me. Iola Brandon, Mr. Jones baritone, Mr. Johnson, Miss Julia Hubbard, Mrs. Cotinne Hicks, Third Vice-President, State Federation, rendered an enjoyable vocal.solo. Other artists well known in musical circles also contributed to the enjoyment of the assembly.

At #1 o’clock from.2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, fo ringtruc- tion in righteousness. He briught some very vital points to our atten- tion. The young people’s meeting at 7 p.m. was indee da treat and at 8 p. m. Bro, D. C. Allen brought another one of his stirring messages to us, using for his subject, Matt. 16:18— ‘And I'shy’aléo unto: thee, that thou ‘a rPbter ‘and upon this rock -will J build’ my chyrch ;and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

ROZIER EN ROUTE TO SWE- DEN WITH DELEGATION WRITES OF DELIGHTFUL VOYAGE. Rev. Rozler, pastor of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, and delegate to the World’s Ministerial Alliance, meeting at Stockholm, Sweden, writes home of his successful journey across the At- lantic. He states that the Olympic (the ship on which the delegates sail ed) wag one of the largest passenger ships on the seas, with a spacious It brary 60x60, well supplied with books, ‘stationery and and everything necess ary for the comfort of the ship's pa trons. The very best food is served in the dining room, and waiters at ‘one’s service every hour in the day. ‘The Olympic has a church and pas tor of its own, and frequently services are“held on the vessel. The Negroes on board pleyed @ eqnspicuous par on the program, and when uot in ser- vice, the white people were begging them to hold services. 5 Rev. Rozier writes that the people seemed to have forgotten that they were at sea, instead of on land. They were participating in sports of differ. ent kinds, boxing, baseball, racing and many other sports. The Atiantic was never known to be more calm than at this time, and the trip so far, states Rev, Rozier, as been a very success- tul one., W6" pray God's blessing on the ‘en- tire delegation. ‘A cablegram dated July 17th reads: “Arrived:in Paris.

August Olivia of San Francisco Pub Be Inspired Citizens Join for All the People and is an Outstanding Figure for the Square Deal Prominent in the latter days of busi- as well as political effort, stands the undaunted and forceful personality of August K. Oliva of San Francisco, who stands in the front ranks as an advocate and a square deal for the great common people. Knowing no man by race or creed, but for their worth Mr. Oliva was born and reared in the evirons of San Francisco, and came up from the hustings as a worker with his hands, and white a student in the school of adversity, he graduated with high honors and today stands as a living monument; to thrift, honesty and integrity in the community which he lives. Like the Danes, who in time of warfare would destroy the hearing of their horses that they would not become frightened in battle, he has turned a deaf ear to all the things which would impede progress and has risen on his merit as one of the leading business men of the great Pacific Slope. From the Tribune of San Francisco we quote as follows: Had we the ability to narrate his story worthily we could surely do so, as there is nothing either sensational or thrilling in his whole life. It does not take much time or great space to tell the round, simple, unvarnished, yet sympathetic tale, because his convictions were always firm, his enthusiasm always ardent, and his ideals always lofty; because he has always had a worshiping fervor for his daily task and always was an honest defender, not a despicable flatterer. He always extended a helping hand to the poor without discrimination of race, creed or color, and the few of the many letters which he received and which we publish below, amply testify to this fact. With equal generosity he assists the negro, the Jew and the Gentile, cherishes the heart of the forgotten veterans of the World War, and thinks about the neglected poor children of San Francisco. "Many a Christmas Santa Claus passed me by," said he, reviewing his boyhood days. And remembering how sad were those Christmas days for him, creates a fund so that every poor boy and girl may have his or her stocking well filled when the Day of Days for children comes. In all history, both ancient and modern, there are some characters to which we are especially attracted, and which have for us an interest beyond expression. There have been men great in name who have given us examples unworthy of imitation, but some men there have been who surrounded by difficulties and obstacles have chosen to walk in the path of justice; men who have gloried to pass through conflicts that they might better the world and that their pure example might be a benefit and an inspiration to others. Such is the effect of the life of August R. Oliva. Among the various groups which have had occasion to come in contact with Mr. Oliva none are more appreciative of his genuine sincerity to assist humanity on the upward trend than the Colored people of San Francisco and surrounding territory, and the soaring Eagle, hearing from them first hand, has no hesitancy in heralding the same to our big family of readers that all may be enlightened as to who's who when the question of the Square Deal comes to pass. Born in 1890, worked his way through life by toil and knocks, and rising to be one of the business forces in a great city like San Francisco truly is a program worthy of emulation. A DESPERATE EFFORT TO SAVE ORPHANAGE PROPERTY Will You Help? APPEAL FOR ORPHANS Afflicts for Neglecting Them "Ye shall not afflict a fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any wise and they cry at all unto me I will surely hear their cry and my wrath shall wax hot and I will kill you with the sword; and your wiyes shall be widows and your children fatherless."—Exodus. "Let their days be few and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow, let his children be continual vagabonds and beg, let the extortioner catch al the hath; and let the stranger spoil his labor, let there be none to extend mercy unto him; neither let there be any to favor, his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generations following let their name be blotted out, let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out, let them be before the Lord continually that he may cut off their memory from the earth because that he remembered not to show bercy but persecuted the poor and the orphans that he might even slay the broken in heart; therefore let cursing come to him, let blessing be for from him; let this be the reward for his conduct."—Psalms of David. 517 Thousands of letters have goope, and you have, no doubt, received one, or at least by this time heard that we were trying to finish the mortgage debt against the Orphanage. We are making the fight of our lives for you here. Please answer this appeal at once. You have money that we ought to have for this work. Read the above scriptures in Exodus nad the Psalms of David and see what God has in store for them that hate Him in neglecting orphans. Let us hear from you with money to pay the balance of the mortgage which was reduced last year from thirty thousand dollars plus eight per cent interest to fifteen thousand dollars plus eight per cent interest. Do it now—God loveth a cheerful giver. The liberal soul shall be made fat. He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord. Our treasurer is bonded. It is heavy to pay mortgage and interest, upkeep and maintenance. The State provides at the e expense of its taxpayers support for white orphans but nothing for its negro orphans. Until the State comes to our rescue, we must go on with this responsibility. Little or more—send it to a nearby L. L. CAMPBELL, Chairman.

That might makes right is the argument of cut-throats and thieves, never of honest men. The doctrine of inequality is emphatically a science of white peoples—it is they who have invented it. From the manner in which the Negro is being beaten on the anvil of adversity, it would appear that he is being fitted for some vital task. Can a man that is kicked, cuffed, beaten and insulted every waking moment o this life, be an efficient worker? Will not the thoughts that should be devoted to his work be centered on his condition? If you continually point out the thoughts of the ordinary man and try to impress upon him what a very inferior creature he is, you will succeed in most cases in making him a debased spiritless thing. On the other hand if you praise his good qualities, you inspire him to do better and may make a truly noble creature out of him. HELP THE DOWN AND OUT We say that we are full of the Holy Ghost and have our tickets straight to Heaven, when we have not done one single thing to help the man or woman from the gutters of sin and despair. Our religion prevents us from going into the slums and gambling dens and compelling these unfortunates to lead different lives. Other races are working daily for the salvation of their young people while we just sit idly by and do nothing.

This rule followed will bring success to all who seek it. The real foundation to success lies in doing all things well. Many of us get discouraged and lose interest in our work because we think the positions we are filling are too humble and that we are not given an opportunity to display our talent and worth to the world at large. There is no profit in repining, just be faithful to the work at hand, no matter how ignoble it is classed. The smallest and least lovely task can acquire a dignity by the fine and enthusiastic performance of it. If we are not willing to do our duty cheerfully and faithfully in that which is least there is no certainty that we could accomplish more on a larger scale. "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, might." This rule followed will bring success it.

The precarious condition of the police department as a result of the upheavals during the past few days, reveals the fact that the "SOARING EAGLE" was on the right track when we opened up the fire works and in both these columns and in person the editor of this paper called for a show down on pernicious political activity in the department. Matters had reached the stage, when denizens of the underworld could with unerring prophey announce on the street corner, just what officer would walk the plank and tell us who would take his place and give the exact time that "our change would come." This condition was protested against, and now out of the present shake up better conditions will obtain, all for the purification and betterment of police conditions in Los Angeles. Of course we are wise to the many ramifications of this whole affair, but we could hardly catch the angle until the bombs of the last few days began to burst, and now we trust all things will be made right and we can again be on our way for a real and lasting peace for the good of the community in which we live. LYNCHING MUST GO That the black stain of mob-violence should continue to disgrace the fair name of America is a thing that seems impossible. Even the most savage African tribe of the jungles can not equal in barbarity the infamous lynching record of the republic, with its churches, schools and colleges—with its hundreds of years of culture and refinement. When before in the history of the world, from its darkest moments until now, has That the black stain of mob-violence is disgrace the fair name of America is a thing able. Even the most savage African tribe not equal in barbarity the infamous lynch public, with its churches, schools and colle dreds of years of culture and refinement, history of the world, from its darkest mome there been a country where its citizens are dismembered, burned alive, and every other form of atrocity which a flandish ingenuity can devise, be visited upon them just because their skin is black, or they show any marked progress, or if they stand up for their rights or become saucy. We have had so much lynching that it is now accepted as one of our American institutions and sports. The conscience of the nation is numb. Not an executive has ever gone out of the way to put a stop to it and when the daily papers advertise the lynching, long before it happens, these officers of the law sneak off to quitter quarters until after it is over, or become one of the leaders in assisting the mob to get its victim without having to break the jail door. There is too much catering by the better classes to the ignoble spirit in the lower classes here in America. Indeed every man, be he president or peasant, who upholds the theory of Negro inferiority, is in his own way an aid and abetter of lynching for lynching is after all but the culmination of this error. But National indifference to lynching does not minimize the horror of it. Think of the excruciating pain of a burnt finger, then imagine what it must be to have the whole body in flames. Where is the superiority in the white man if he is content to fold up his arms while fifteen million of human beings are treated worse than cattle and undergo tortures worse than death? If he is genuine, if he has the soul qualities of humanity surely he will rise up with his strong arm and demand that lynch law and mob violence, and even discrimination shall cease, and give the black man the same rights he is entitled to under the constitution. COMMENTS By: W. J. WHEATON According to the statistics on lynching issued by the N. A. A. C. P, there has been a slump in the activities of the promoters of the rope and torch during the past six months. In the year 1922, up to the present, there were thirty-three illegal burnings and hangings, but this year, 1923, there has been but 11 murders by the mob. There is a reason, and we are forced to ask: Is it a humanitarian or an economic one? There has been in exodus of Negro labor from the states which, hereof, had made no attempt to stem the wave of lawlessness. Those states have the greatest power in the shortage of labor. The crops—worth millions of dollars—rotated in the field. The element which were the foremost in the lynching bees, would not respond to the call of labor. One live horse is worth a thousand dead ones: A dead horse can not work. Come up this way brother! Life may be a bit more strenuous, but then, what should the progeny of Attucks, Peter Salem, LeOuverture, and the hosts who aided in the preservation of the Union, and the "Keeping of the world safe for democracy" care for that. The builders of this nation were made hardy by struggle. The progress of the race must be gained through sacrifice. Senator Hiram Johnson of California has anticipated President Warren Harding, formerly of Washington, D. C., and when he returned from his trip in Europe let loose a broadside from the craft, Anti-World Court, which has caused the Republican Pachyderm to squelche. The President had announced his subject, Our Foreign Relations, for his speech in San Francisco, the citadel of the doughy Senator, and will be delivered before this goes to press. We are anxiously waiting to hear what he will have to say in defense of his negligence of urgent domestic affairs. We would not say for a certainty but we have a hunch that when the Senator spoke of our failure to reduce our murder status to that of Europe, that he had in mind the nonchalance with which the Government has looked upon lynching. One thing is certain: There is so many laws which our domestic courts could enforce, but don't, that there is little need for the establishment of International Tribunals. Not now. An incident is reported from Paris, France, which if allowed to continue without protest from REAL AMERICANS, will do more to lower the boasted civilization of the. United States in the eyes of the world than any other one thing. The other one from this side protested to the presence of a party of black Frenchmen being served in the same cafe. It was without avail. Enov- HEALTH NOTES How you are Really Able to Distinguish Between Colors. L L L L L L By E. B. Lewis B. S. C. M. D. 118% East 9th Street The "wallpaper" which lines the innermost surface of the eyeball gives the sensation of light to the human individual. It is upon this that real objects outside of you are centred. It is not true, as far as experiments and facts warrant, to say—as many books and writers do—that the sensation received on the retina is interpreted in the brain. All that can be truly said is that the brain is a threeway switch or central station through which the gravelled sleeves of sensation, experience, emotions and notions are knit together from the multiplied impulses of all parts of the living fabric. This innermost layer of lining of the eye is called the retina, and it has a superintensive spot in the center of the back wall. An impression received at this point is more distinctly perceived at any other point. For instance, the retina is focused on a small part focused on this central point of the retina is seen in any detail. ing a number of Negro Americans, one of the number demanded that they sing the "Star Spangled Banner," and waved his hands to conduct the music, But, after a little consultation, the American Negros broke out in song, and it was the Marsalleise. The orchestra which had put up it instruments, when the boisterous "Pecks" made our national anthem rediculous, joined in the volume of song with their instruments, and the singers were cheered vociferously by the foreign patrons of the cafe. It is such people as those tourist which place the government of the United States in such rediculous positions abroad and cause the nation to be detested for everything but its money. A case of such cruelty as has been rarely unearthed, is alleged to have been perpetrated by a step-mother on a girl child who was kept in a style like a pig, fed like the swine and denied of every comfort a human being is entitled to. The step-mother, a white woman, is said to have kept the child so confined for years, it was totally ignorant; did not understand how to play with toys, and was as deficient in its vocabulary as a two-year-old child. The wife of Robert Brown died some years ago, leaving to his care a baby girl. After a length of time Robert again married. It was not long after his second venture into matrimony that he made his demise. Every day the second Mrs. Brown could be seen carving to and from her home huge bundles of washings. Very recently the issue of Robert and the first Mrs. Brown graduated from the high school. The Mrs. Brown second, was a proud graduate. He hopes to give Marv a thorough education. All concerned are Negros. That is, the Browns. At Columbia, Mo., it took the jury which tried George Barkwell for complexity in the synchronic of James Seeg. Just then he was free him. And that after witnesses and testified to seeing him adjust the rope about his neck and shove him from the bridge to which Scott was hanged. The prosecution of the case was made by the prosecutor, R. N. Hulen, who declared that the "prosecution right prove a warning against the transgression of the law." It is impossible for the man up a tree to see where the liberation of a culprit who was positively identified as the mob robber can save civile moral tendency to cause any apprehension whatever to the murderers. If we could only think in unity for the common good; if we could mass the individual mind to think for the good of all, much would be accomplished for the race. The rest of the stene is missed because it falls on the parts of the retina 'other than its "bull's eye." The general and greater part of the retina, then, merely gives you a faint glimmer of its truth, a vague idea of your environment and its relation to other things. That is to say, you can see only one thing at a time in all its ramifications, while the rest of the eye tells you that there are more real things in heaven and earth than you are capable of knowing. If you wish to know something of the others do not keep your outlook on life glued to one key-hole. Shift you rgare frequently in order to get new truths, new points of view and brighter images of misty and confused impressions, which are very likely to be prejudices, bigotries and partisan narrowness. WHAT COLOR APPRECIATION IS Color vision complicates uncolored realities still more. While color is wrongly held by many physiologists to be a mental attribute, those same sav- sates hold that animals distinguish col- ored animals have no "psyche", no powers of the intellect. Color appreciation, however, comes from the effect analogous to the recognition of differences in size, shape, health, vigor, weight, moises, music, distances. That is to say, the appreciation of color is sensation plus memory. It is a distinction in reality, therefore a physiological activity, which results from the influence of the physical world, not the phychic states. Briefly, then, experiences, knowledge, training, healthful tissues and instincts make you know checkers from fleur-lys, red from blue. All arise in the world around and not inside you. It is the separation of the rays or aaves of white light into sizes and groups that make red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. When white light is thus broken up or disassociated, some tints, such as red and yellow, take in less space than the others, blue, for instance, although they do not differ correspondingly in wave length. The spaces occupied in a rainbow or a spectrum by the different colors are proportionate to their differences in length of light waves.

Now as a matter of fact the present incumbent, Thomas Finn, has served in this position so long and faithful that the people refuse to look any further and just re-elect Tom Finn. Nobody asks the question, "Who is Tom Finn?" They all know who he is and in knowing him they know a man of absolute courage, honor and integrity, they know a man who is efficient to the highest degree and a man who will give due consideration to the humblest citizen of the great city and county of San Francisco. This writer knows Tom Finn and we can say for him that he measures up to the highest possible standard as a real man who appreciate to the utmost the rights of persons. We shall never fail to speak up for such characters as Tom Finn, in this day of travail and sorrow, men of his type are few and far apart. The Colored citizens of San Francisco in return for his broad gauged spirit have always been among his strong supporters, and at the coming primaries and election they no doubt will line up in one solid phalanx for the greatest peace official in all Northern California, the Hon. Thos. Finn, to succeed himself. (Continued from Page One) To show the democratic spirit of this Camp Dix. Of course, he was promoted at the time of going on the General's staff. lawyer, it is only necessary to relate how he shocked all the Army officers at Camp Dix by posting a notice that any enlisted man could come to him. If he had a cause without first getting permission from the First Sergeant some other non-com. A great protege went up and Captain Grasty appeared before a board and there told them there was, no military civil law against the board had to agree with him. Therefore he became the most popular officer among the enlisted men in the camp, and this was one of the causes for the request of the General. After the war Captain Grasty went to South America on a business trip for one of the largest corporations in the United States, in the capacity of Contract Agent. He visited every city in South America, and on his return was stopping in Rio Janeiro, Brazil, where he fell ill with a stomach disorder. He spent many months there and in Cuba, in hospitals. This sickness covered the period from December, 1919 to May, 1922, when he arrived here, weak and gaunt, from a sanatorium in Wisconsin. The subject of this sketch has a very charming daughter, Lillian E. Grasty, who is now in the east, at Hartshorn College, where she will finish her career before joining her father. In San Francisco, Captain Grasty was the moving spirit in every matter that tended to raise the standard of our people, and now that he has fully regained his health, we hope that he will join the ranks of those here who are striving as he formerly did in the northern part of the state. Miss Myrne Shivers on last Sunday afternoon with a formal luncheon for Miss Mildred Scott, who left that same evening for Topeka, Kansas, where she will spend the summer months with friends and relatives, returning to Los Angeles in September for the fall term at U. S. C. Among those who enjoyed Miss Shivers' hospitality on this occasion were Miss Laura Williams, Mr. Harry Tracy, Mr. Thomas Moore, Mr. Phillip Munn and the honored guest.

Special Articles Book Reviews Opinions Interviews With shoulders squared and head erect, Donald sat between Lester Logan and Tommy Deaker. The latter was a newly fledged attorney whom Lester had befriended in his college days; he had attached himself to his benefactor with boyish devotion and had pleaded to be "associated" with him in the Douglas case. Lester had finally laughingly granted Tommy's plea, all unaware of the momentousness of his decision. A morbidly curious, coldly hostile crowd packed the chamber. Far to the rear, Alice Douglas, like a frightened child, sat beside Helen Dudley, Lester's finance. Helen held Alice's left hand and occasionally squeezed it encouragingly. Lester Logan appeared cool and self-possessed almost to the point of indifference. During those first few impressive moments after court convened, there was nothing to indicate that he felt the full weight of the awful responsibility that rested upon him in this, his first murder case; the realization that he alone stood between Donald Douglas and—the gallows. The jury was soon impanelled, inasmuch as Lester, to the surprise of all, offered none of the lengthy technical objections usually interposed. The jury sworn, Farwell Nichols plunged into the case without preamble. The District Attorney was a tall, slender, fastidiously-groomed young man, smooth in manner and face. His mouth was satirical, his gray eyes cold and repellant with an expression of sardonic cruelty, partly masked behind the glasses he wore attached to a fine gold chain. The testimony of the coroner and undertaker was first heard. The county physician, tersely questioned by the prosecution, testified that he had observed six knife-wounds in Peters' breast, including the one in which the knife had been imbedded. The knife was offered in evidence and the fact brought out that its handle bore a thumbprint similar to that of Donald Douglas. Officer McDonald, was called, and testified to having arrested the accused beside the body of the shin man, and identified the envelope inscribed with the name and address of the deceased and containing five hundred and ten dollars in currency, as the one the accused had held in his hand when arrested. Lester Logan cross-examined none of these witnesses. Tommy Deaker looked doubtful, then surprised and finally anxious — but Lester sternly frowned down the question that hovered on his associate's lips. He whispered a few tense words of reassurance to Donald. That young man smiled; his confidence had not been shaken by his counsel's unusual tactics. However, the faces of the jurors were grimly set. The countenance of the presiding judge was cold as that of a stone statue of justice. Alice sat wide-eyed and tense, watching and listening without comprehending the significance of the proceedings, but to the sophisticated spectators it seemed that Donald Douglas was being speeded to the gallows with a swiftness and directness that actually robbed the firm processing of all interest. Finally Farwell Nichols, manifestly elated by the case with which he was winning his victory, rose and announced that the State was ready to call its other witness. As Cuthbert Williams was sworn in by the clerk and took his seat in the witness's chair, a murmur of sympathy and interest rose among the spectators. Williams was pale and hagard. Lester, watching him keenly, saw the tremendous effort he was making to control himself. Ty the sympathetic and untrained eye, his intense gaze, all the symptoms of extreme illness. Nichols quickly drew out Williams' evidence, which was briefly: While walking down the east side of North Boulevard on the night of September 10th, he had noticed an empty automobile parked at the curb on the west side of the boulevard, near Nineteenth Street. Almost simultaneously, his attention had been drawn to two men engaged in loud argument on the pavement a few feet from the car. He had seen one of them suddenly flash a knife and stab the other several times in rapid succession. The wounded man had fallen; his assailant had stopped over his body. Williams had then rushed for help. A half block away he had come upon McDonald, patrolling his beat. The voice of the witness rose shrill and piercing. Occasionally he stopped to draw a long, sibilant breath, as though in pain; aggrie, he paused to stop paraphration from his face with the nasalkerchief he clutched in his hand. He looked into the face and the condidence of the crowd. Judge and jury listened to his straight-toward testimony with only groove graves intenseness. It might well seem that Donald Doubles was denounced. "And do you see in this room the man you saw stab- John Peters on the night of September 10th?" intold Nicholas, in the pernicious tone and a routine form: "Yes, I do!" shrilled the witness "He's there—sitting by his lawyer." "He there—sitting by his lawyer," At that moment Lester, whose eyes had not left Williams' face, with seemingly inexcusable awkwardness knocked over a stack of books piled near the edge of the table. As he leaned over to pick them up, Nichols announced, with thinly veiled triumph: "The people rest." Lester rose. "If it pleases the court, I would like to ask for a recess of twenty minutes." As Nichols started to object, Lester added, almost apologetically. "I'm sure the Prosecutor will be willing to grant this time to look into certain matters pertaining to our defense." Farewell Nichols barely repressed a sneer. Certain the jury would bring in a verdict of guilty within ten minutes, he attributed the tame, almost cringing attitude of young Logan to the fact that the latter had practically no defense to offer. "The people accede to the desire of counsel for the defense," he said, contemptuously, "and suggest that a recess be taken." When court re-convened, Lester Logan was seated near the end of the room in the morning. At his right sat a young man, bent forward, his head resting on his arms. At his left sat another young man, jotting down notes from an open book before him. Lester addressed the court and asked that Williams be re-called for cross-examination. As soon as Williams had taken the staff, the young man at Lester's right nervously plucked the young attorney's sleeve. With a brusque movement, Lester shook off his hand. "deepen me alone!" he said, sharply. "I'm handling this case for you." At the same moment he wheeled around on Williams, who was watching him drunttfully. For a full half-minute Lester focused upon the face of the witness a look of friendly interest, whose effect was most disarming; the young advocate knew that browbeating, bullying or sarcasm would only add to the sympathy Williams had already, inspired. When the witness's expression all distrust and defiance had given way to one of easy assurance, Lester began to question him in a manner at once courteous and conciliatory. The first fifteen minutes were given to an interrogatory that merely re-covered the ground gone over-by Nichols, and as the witness repeated his original story without variation, the face of the Prosecutor took on an expression of satisfaction boredom. "That's all for the present, Mr. Williams," said Lester Logan, quietly. The witness started to rise with pleased alacrity. (To be continued) THE CONQUEST OF COOMASSIE An Epic of the Mashanti Nation By: Aldebaran Reviewed by Wendell P. Gladden, Jr. Africa, land of unearthed diamonds and forests primeval, has long claim the attention of the civilized world. Interest in the "Dark, Continent" has been renewed by the seething unrest of the dark peoples everywhere, described as "The Hising Tide of Color," and the discovery of the tomb of Tut-akhamen, ancient ruler of Egypt. Archaeologists, historians, scientists, and travellers now spend much time in investigation and research because of this most recent development which has influenced our art and styles and thought. The forth-coming work, "The Conquest of Coomassile," by Aldebaran, will be the cause of further interest. Among the many literary men of national reputation to read the book is Mr. D. Shreve, editor of the Quarterly Magazine, critic, philosopher, who purses. "The Conquest of Coomassile, beautifully told by Aldebaran in an epic poem, is a verification of the theory of H. G. Wells and other writers that Africa was the cradle of the world's civilization." Another comment may be added. Mr. John Steven McGroarty, author of the famous Mission Play and Editor of the Los Angeles Sunday Times Magazine, writes: "It is indeed an epic, really Homeric in its strength and beauty. I have read it with the deepest pleasure." Coomassie is the capital of Mashanti formerly included all the country lying in the watershed of the Niger River. This territory is now known as the United States of West Africa, but is referred to as "Ashanti or Ashanti." In the Ochi tongue, however, it is M'Shanti, and called by the natives of Mashanti. English and the civilized nations in the country attempted to justify the vandalism and grievance which resulted in the campaigns that brought about the disintegration and destruction of the powerful Mashanti people. The author says in new: Edited by WENDELL. P. GLADDEN, Jr. "This country which is so little known to the western world possesses records of have dealt with, and been known to the Arab and Moslim peoples, as early as the twelfth century, and as far east and north as Egypt and the Mediterranean. "Early in the 17th century there came to the throne of Manshanti a monarch named Osai Tutu. This monarch was to that rich extensive country, exactly what Peter the Great was to the scattered tribes of Russia, and Frederick the Great was to the great German Confederacy. "He conquered the territory of Akim and Assin, reduced the powerful kingdom of Denkira to a tributary, subjugated Jaman, Tufel and a great extent of the country beyond the Tano River and extended his authority even to the Great Desert of Ghofan in the north." This monarch brought the Moslem states into the confederacy and built Coomasfe, making it his capital, and won for himself the title of Osai Tutu the Great. The conquered states, on the death of Tutu, attempted to revolt, but were put down by his successor, Osai Opoku, who conquered the kingdom of Dagomba, and exchanged embassies with Dehomey and Akwomu, according to the writer. Osai Kwesi, Osai Tutu Kwamina, the Great, followed in succession. A series of events, during the reign of Osai Tutu Kwamina, brought the people in contact with England, and ended finally with their destruction by the European power. Lord Wolsey led an expedition against the Mashamans in the year 1875, and said regarding his gallant foes that, "From the Ashanti I learned one important lesson, namely: that a virile race can become paramount in its own region if it possesses courage, constancy of purpose and self-sacrifice." It is said that they never appealed to the sword if there was opportunity to secure peace; nor were they known to violate treaties. The Mashants have been lauded for their skill and bravery in war; diplomacy and patrolism; and regarded as the most formidable people of the Gold Coast. Our book then, attempts to epitomize these industrious, progressive, and brave people. It will stand as a monument to their achievements and memory. The Mashants were a Alaskan state: "Without doubt the most powerful and orderly native African institution, which, but for its wanted destruction by the 'treacherous, imperial English, has bid fair to extend its beneficient and civilizing influence over all of the native tribes of West Africa." The poem is divided into five cantos with a prologue and an epilogue. Descriptive scene, tense situations, filled with native beauty and atmosphere and action throbbing with interest and suspense, are noticeable throughout. African culture, traditions, and characteristics, picturesque settings, entanglements, forests, and the wide stretches of scenic Africa, are emphasized, Ceremonies, narratives of the past, military engagements teeming with the cunning of native chiefs and the bravery of warriors hold our attention. More than this, the reader is reminded of the dress of the natives and their original art and designs, of primitive, stirring, but rythmic music. It is all a picture of grandeur, of pomp and power, and blood; it is a story of jealous, greedy military power, and a prosperous and rich country, with gallant and able leaders as attested in the character of King Prempey, which is related in the epic. Following is the Prologue which tells of the departure of the black British Colonial troops from Jamaica for Africa: "The pick of the doughty Second West, On their way to do the King's behest: Had left the shores of Jamaica's land, A blue-green gem in the coral strand. For England's King he had sought their aid, For England's Might it was sorr-afraid. Came the depicts the array of the British troops and defy by the Mashanti King Prempey: King Prempey, chief of a war-like tribe, Had scorned the proffer of England's Had scorned the proffer of England's bribe; He would not barter Mashanti Land To the white king's mercenary band. Therefore, England gathered; her fighting men, From field, from mart and from high- land glen;" In stanzas XI. and XII. King Prempey says: certainly sit on my Golden Throne! I rule Mashanti and I alone! My sovereign Power and Sacred Sod Shall how to none but the Black Man's God! When vapours rolling from the deeps Wrapped heaven's dome! -purple - suggests: And mournous roamed the wild plains 'oer; And murdrous talous reeked with gore And venom talked and death reigned kins. 1868. And she was still an infant thing; Our fathers ruled this ancient land." Thus he tells in this and preceding stanzas when he addresses his people, of the glories and achievement of ancient Aethiopia. The second canto—The Oracle and Prophecy, is a description of native ceremonies. It also includes the in- vocation of the Oracle. When the Oracle speaks, the outline of the whole history of the rise to greatness, pride and fall of the black peoples of the world, is given, and it ends with the prophecy of a redemed Aethiopia. Note the beautiful description in the second stanza: "Or if some demon of the air Vert by their fleece whiteness fair; Had drained a martyred Spirit's blood And steeped them in the sanguine flood." But soon a sombre curtain fell On lurid eve; and down the dell. Throbbing and meaning with affright Came clamorous echoes from the nagat "The Sakro-Bundu's mystic drum Whose songs from the midnight song." In another scene the natives fall prostrate and call upon Sakro-Bundu, whom they prabe and call, "God of us all!" Further an Ode to Bundu is given. It begins with the following: "O Thou who spread'st the desert sands To mark the bound of Aethiop's lands! --- Great Bundu! In thine August Might We call upon thine Ancient Name. Now, then an devermore the same! Stanza seventeen in the Invocation is worth adding, because of its range and beauty: "She spoke, the gleaming blades descend. The victims' shrieks the darkness rend. And gurgling o' the sacred floor In crimsoned streams, librations pour." And eighteen: "The laden air with sweet suffume Had canopied the midnight gloom. And hung, like Suttee's writhing creee An ominous creature worth peering." Canto Three or The Golden Spear, is descriptive of the marshalling of native tribes for war. To battle England's proud Array." "The jungle beasts had rest that morn. Nor slunk behind th'accacia thorn; The blinking crocodile swam free Nor dread the poisoned shaft to see. The vicious wild-cat spat his ire But could not tempt the hunters' fire; For Afric's men from far and near Had seen the Golden-shafted Spear." The Golden Stool is the title of Canto Four. If tells of the coronation of the Mashanti King. In this canto a seer warns Preempy of the destruction of the country by British Colonials. "Deep-voiced, the priest now chants the cows." the song in topes that thrill the gazing throng Thou Lion of the forest-glade! Thou warrior-chieftain unafraid! Mashant's Sovreign Stool I bring, Oasal Qua-kou Dus, King!" " King Pempey has mounted "his gold- an throne That like the sun, for brightness phone. And ladies and maidens fair, Ostf, Prah, and Kabboccier in homage band before the king." But the ceremony is now disturbed by "a bont form, old and withered" which gives the warning to the king. Notice in the following lines the depth of sentiment and poetic emotion which search the soul: "When glow the forest-lamps by night, And dread shapes face their fitful light: "When deep sleep binds with chains of brass. The tired frame, then true souls pass, And out, beyond dim portals go. Bathed in the Future's mystic glow.

Real Estate, Loans and Fire Insurance NOTARY PUBLIC Dread scenes unfolded to my gaze:" Again: "Their Christian masters taught them well! For now with England's shot and shell. From out the Western Isles they come To work Coomasaila's shameful doom." We come now to the last, canto which is the story of the Conquest. Perhaps in no other setting is there such wide range of description and color and action. In this cene is given the actual wanton destruction of the mighty Mashantis. These sketches run the gauntlet of the emotions. Courage, bravery, cunning, maneuvering, marching, glinting steel, fire, yelling and grooming, and mooning, gorgeous costume and military array, the dumb and hiding wild creatures: but alas! blood, and sorrowing, and smouldering ruins of a once great empire: are part of the surging tide of battle and the result of greed. Such are the events which follow. Note the effect of this bit of description: "The phantom Dawn, had conquered Night. Nor sped the Sun one shift of light. But like a guilded warrior bold. With sword of flame and shield of gold He, crouched in pregnant splendour, lies Behind the paraped skies. It was the hour when woods. and hills. Indoor to dunes, and slumb'rous rills. Molok to the river. Molok had whispered to the night. ```markdown ``` Rippled the miamosaa trees, Where bold Jumbala's ambush lay, Waiting the dawning of the day." In the combat between an English soldier and a Kongo chief there is much action. "The nostrils swelled, the eyes shot fire. And like a panther in his ice He sprang. But swift as changing light The English soldier's dagger bright, Its vivid gleam likht lightning sped To meet the charging chieftain's head. "But swift as was the soldier's skill, The Kongo chief was swifter still, 'Ere Gordon's puzzled wits could Had wrenched the dagger from 'his hand.' A panther has been killed by Jumba. These lines show more of the author's ability. "With bulging eyes the huge beast fell: ten; And down Makoba's wooded dell, The echo of his gurgling groan Resounded like a demon's moan." And later: "Noon-tide. Beside Sangara's glen Halted Samadu's desert-men For call to prayer and light repast, Their quattans on the sand dunes cast, And munti sounds the muezzin's call— "Give praise to Allah! One and all! For God is Great! and but One God Rules sky and sea and boundless ad!" In stanza forty-six King Prempey is described turning from his burned empire. All is lost! He goes to his council hall and sits upon his golden throne: "They found him there, proud En: gland's men. Mashanti's Lion in his den. And nobler heart ne'er broke or bled Than broke this heart, to exile led!" continuing, the post writes: "Because I am mad and are That lit Coomason's funeral pals Put out, with the last tortured cry That winged it's protest to the sky?

He has spent years in Mashanti studying the people and gathering and compiling material for his book. Copious notes make the work even more significant. It is profusely illustrated with five full and five half page half-tone drawings. Henry W. Brooks, a brilliant young colored man of Los Angeles is the artist. He deserves much credit for his painstaking efforts and talent to make the book an artistic and literary triumph. George S. Grant, promising young writer, has written the preface to the Conquest of Coomassie. Mr. Grant says in part that, "The Conquest of Coomassie," challenges the Western Civilization; reveals its paucity of purpose and prophesies its downfall. Against the glorious background of wisdom, under the rule "of wisdom, truth, and right," is thrown the pittilary picture of a money-mad world; where the raptivity of an insatiable greed bankrupts the human soul." There is an Autograph Edition of the Conquest of Coomassie now on the press. (Worth While Publ. Co., Long Beach, Cal.) Pocket of Classic size, done in beautiful leather and gold. The cover design includes a sketch of the golden stool which was used by the Mashanti kings. In order to meet the great demand for this work, the first thousand copies of the popular edition will follow immediately. The race may be justly proud of this literary achievement. Many poets have been produced, but none have surpassed the author of the Conquest of Coomassie for attention to detail in description, strength and beauty in lines that glow with imagery and stand out pre-eminently Homeric. It is an epic of the Mashanti people and it is a monument to the culture and pride of ancient Aethiopia. Black peoples of the world over should welcome this most wonderful picturization.

MODERN METHOD, Inc. 1319 East Pine St. Seattle, Wash. NEWS OF CALIFORNIA STATE NEWS OF CALIFO SANTA BARBARA The services all day Sunday at both churches, Second Baptist(Rev. H. B. Thomas, pastor) and St. Paul A. M. E. (Rev. C. A. Harris) pastor were inspiring and well attended. The children of Second Baptist Sunday School have been very busy socially during this vacation. The weenie roast with their pastor, Rev. H. B. Thomas as host, was a huge success and he won great praise from the little folks. The Willing Workers Club of the 2nd Baptist Sunday School organized by the children themselves with Lillie Mae Pruitt, president; Ruby Miles, secretary and Bernice Thomas, treasurer, gave a dinner Thursday night which was cooked and served by them—the notable feature being the fact that cooks and waiters and waitresses ranged from 6 to 13 years. Service was their motto and all the grown ups are loud in their praise of the affair. They were thus able to add $22.70 to their bank account, there being enough over and on hand to amply take care of the union picnic needs without drawing from this fund which they plan to use in another way in the near future. Mrs. Wm. Boykin has been ill but we are glad to say she is improved to att SHRDLU CMFWYP SHRDL 22 so that now she is up again. Get ready for the ball game and races, folks.

Stewart, spent it as such. It was also the National Day of Mr. George Jones of 27 East Gutierrez St., who was 50 odd years old and combining two parties one big time was held.

AND THE MISSOURI GROUP MINING CLAIMS ARE BEING SHOWN UP TO SELL. To Afro-American citizens of Los Angeles, and especially, first the co-owners of the Missouri selling group of mining claims, and second, the stockholders of the Combabi Consolidated mines company; that we are in sight of the harbor of success; our success has been made doubly sure by our recent discovery of free gold about six weeks ago. The brief history of our efforts is that I brought the Combabi Mines Company. to the attention of the Los Angeles Afro-American public in October, 1915, eight years ago to finance, which was only partially successful, the main reason being that we were never able to get the support in a large way that our great, valuable property and plan called for by those of our people who have put our great plans over, overwhelmingly long ago, but those who were able to do so, not only refused to get together and give my claims and presentations a thorough and intensive investigation, as to the truth and practicability of my claims, but many, very many, went into the opposite direction, of extreme opposition to head off in every direction possible the placing of our stock here, and their opposition based on not a scintilla of facts. So, seeing that this wide spread unreasonable opposition and misrepresentation was keeping the great masses of our people in doubt and long ago having decided to make this city the grand headquarters of our great mining business; and financial plan, and to consolidate here before wider national expansion, my close associates and I decided that the best way to overcome the confronting situation, in order to strongly finance our great Comobabi plan and get the confidence of the great mass of our wage earning people, was to get together a large group of mining claims and do enough work on them to outline their true value in quantity and quality of ores and then sell them to big, powerful mining capital, we started to show up this big property the past July, one year ago; we have put down shafts and put in tunnels, we have great out-croping bodies of both low-grade gold and copper, and their true availie has been approximated, which the ordinary prospection was not able to do, and in both our shafts and tunnels we have cut large veins of ores which give both quality and quantit and the finishing up of these shafts and tunnels that has been placed at important strategic places will give us double safety; meaning that we would be able to ship the richer ores and keep full faith with our co-owner investors, if for any unforeseen reason we could not sell at a reasonable advantage when we are ready; which we are going to make a supreme effort to do some time this coming fall, we will at least be in a position to take care of those of our co-owners who have special obligations at meet. I am able to say this because we capped the climax of our year's efforts by making a great free gold discovery about six weeks ago. I mean by free gold, gold distributed through the vein quartz in suggets, wires, and scales, meaning further that if it becomes necessary that we can make this free gold ropery more than finance the finish up the show up of our great 600 acre selling property either by selling the free gold property first and separate, or by shipping some of the extra rich ore. At this point I wish to say to our co-owners that instead of decreasing your pro rata in this sale, the more money we have to spend in the short time remaining to finish up this sale, the more your part will be, and to you who this letter interests see me first before you ask the advice of others or see someone friendly to our aims and efforts before deciding; because if you have not had a wide experience with the public, you will find every effort you try to make blocked. I write in this vein because I know financial organization is the supreme necessity of our people and it's my supreme ambition and desire to contribute the very best that is in me to that end, and I know that my plan as outlined by the Comobabi, mining, real estate guarantee and business plan is the greatest ever offered any people at any time for financial freedom and security; so fortunate will be you who help to put this selling property for your good fortune will just begin, you will be remembered all the way and especially when after our sale we turn to our great company plan, in conclusion I want to ask is it true that according to U.S. census report, that the Negro death rate is equaling the birth rate; if true is not appalling, and does not individual selfishness on our own partie as the basic cause? The law of co-operative effort is beautiful beyond description, it is saving and protective.

He hopes to prevent a double sale of the property, realizing that by, selling the 100 acres of free gold property as a part of the 600 acres of gold, silver and copper property will bring a much larger price so he has gone back to his home state to raise the money to finish up and make one sale instead of two.

HOLD GRAND SESSION 一 KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF TABOR HOLD FORTH IN SAN DIEGO, CAL The Grand Temple and Tabernacle, Knights and Daughters of Tabor, International Order of Twelve, Jurisdiction of California-Arizona, convened in the city of San Diego, California, Tuesday July 3rd at ten o'clock. The Chief GGrand Mentor, Sir W. J. J. Byers called the session to order, and ordered the roll of officers and bodies read. This showed a full attendance of officers, and representatives from all bodies, with the exception of two. The annual address of the Chief Grand Mentor, was a splendid review of the accomplishments of the Order during the year. It was well received and the several recommendations were incorporated into law. The Session was brought to its feet, when the Chief Mentor, dramatically exclaimed that, "Tabor has taken its place in the very front ranks of Fraternialism, and every member must pledge himself anew to its progress and its ideals." Dr. A. E. Bomar, the Grand High Preceptress, who had but recently undergone a very serious operation, was able to be present and make her report. This showed the Tabernacles under her charge to be in a very fine condition. This address showed her interest and contained many very fine recommendations. The report of the Grand Chief Scribe, Sir S. M. Beane, showed the establishment of several new bodies during the year. There are forty-six bodies in the jurisdiction with a total membership of eleven hundred and fifty-two. This is a very splendid increase over last year. The report showed all bodies represented as far as their financial reports were concerned. There were more than seven hundred dollars collected in Grand Dues and assessments. The Grand Queen Mother, Dtr. Sadie Alexander, reported for the Tents, and showed the very fine growth of the department. The report showed a fine grasp of the work, and carried several splendid recommendations. The Death Benefit Department, established less than three years ago, thru the reports of the Secretary, Sir J. E. Walton and the Treasurer Sir R. A. Johnson, showed a balance of over four thousand dollars in the treasury with all obligations paid up to date. This department paid out in claims last year more than two thousand dollars. This is a wonderful showing for the time of its existence The Burial Fund, thru the reports of the secretary Dtr. Eliza Warner and the treasurer Sir A. Turner, showed a balance on hand of more than twelve hundred dollars, with all claims paid up to date. This department paid out in claims during the year more than Five Hundred Dollars. Before a large concourse of people, the Grand Session was welcomed to San Diego; on the part of the city by Mayor Bacon, in an address that rang with words of welcome and brotherhood; on the part of Tabor by Dtr. A. A. Knight, in beautiful and well chosen words; on the part of the citizens and Fraternities by Mr. Saunders, in a very fine address. Responses on the part of the session were made by Dtr. Dorena Flewellen and Sir S. M. Beane. The entertainment of the Session could not have been surpassed. San Diego sparing no pains to make the delegates comfortable and contributing its share in making this the greatest session in the history of the order on the Pacific Coast. The Committee in charge gave a picnic on the 4th of July at one of the beaches and furnished the "eats" tor all who attended. It was a great day and immensely enjoyed by all. It was a great session, enjoyable, brimful of interest, and enthusiastic. It was an inspiration to be present and listen to the splendid reports that were on a high plane. Things were on a high plain. Things were done and action taken that will redound to the benefit and uplift of the Order. Everybody returned home determined to do more for the progress and advancement of Tabor than they have ever done before. The job ought to be easy, for no fraternal organization on the Coast is offering as large returns for the money invested as the Knights and Daughters of Tabor. For $13.50 per year a member gets sick dues, and $75.70 at death. It is impossible to pay more than that amount in a Temple or Tabernacle. That is fixed and cannot be changed. If one wants protection he has it here in abundance and for a nominal price. You cannot duplicate it anywhere. The following officers were elected: C. G. M., Sir W. J. J. Byers; G. H. P., Dtr. Dorena Flewellen; V. G. M. Sir G. W. Brown; V. H. P., Dtr. Alta W. Clark; C. G. S., Sir S. M. Beane; C. G. R., Dtr. A. A. Knight; C. G. T. and Treas. of Burial Fund, Sir Turner; C. G. O., Sir Jones; C. G. P., Dtr. Jackson; G. P. P., Sir Warren Woods; C. G. Q. M., Dtr. Sadie Alexander; G. I. St., Dtr. Katherine James; Burial Fund Secy., Dtr. Eliza Warner; Death Benefit Treas., Sir J. E. Walton; Death Benefit Treas., Sir R. A. Johnson. These officers elected were installed in a beautiful service with the appointive officers on Friday night. The session closed to meet in 1924 at Watts, California. SPECIAL NOTICE All members of the Texas State Association are hereby notified to be present at a special call meeting of the Association, Monday Eventing, the 23rd inst. Consideration of a change of meeting dates and deliberations on visitors are among the topics for settlement. Meeting place, Wesley M. M. Church; 6:15 is the opening hour. J. A. WARBEN, Lt. Gov.

PROGRESS THE GRAY MURDOCK PUPIL, RECITAL The piano and violin recital given at the Independent Church, December 14th by the pupils of Mr. Gray and Mrs. Murdock was much more than a fine affair. The whole thing was an exhibition of Progress. For the past three years I have been watching Mr. Gray's work in his studio, and the high standard which he sets before his pupils, with pleasure, knowing that in time his pupils must register for him what everybody saw them in the recent recital. The playing of every piano number was highly creditable and four of the pupils deserve special mention. Miss Edwards rendered the beautiful, schubert-Luszt's, "Hark, Hark, the Lark" and the Liszt Second Hungarian Rhapsody. In advancement and brilliant playing Miss Edwards, out ranked all else on the program. The second Rhapsody involved more difficulties than the first number, and was not as perfectly given as the first. The Liszt Rhapsodies are based on the Hungarian folk song, and the themes are worked out in different moods and variations, which require great skill to ballance them well. Miss Edwards gives promise of big things. As much can be said for little Miss Shambrey, Miss Dorothy Brown and Wallace Markham gave an exhibition of fine melody; playing in tone picture. Both showed the soul of the artist. Markham's playing was the most perfect in fine finish of all the piano puppe. All of the piano playing was characterized by utune refinement, and with no shadow of silly gyrations and elephant. Mrs. Murstock showed fine teaching in the work of her pupils. The first number of ensemble playing was especially well done. The very finest violin playing of all the pupils was done by Miss Evelyn Kennedy in her tradition of Mussonit's "Thain" and next to her for fine work was Miss Gertrude Praman. From Goumed's Version of Fault. EUGENE C. NELSON, M. D. Extends To Readers of THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE GREETINGS OF THE SEASON [1339 E. 12th Street] closing with the march representing the return of the German soldiers. For this he was awarded the popular prize by the audience. He was clearly the most advanced of the violin pupils in the reditah. But his playing was anything but the best. But the very nature of the piece, given with gusto and swagger as it was, won the audience with great applause. With such fine work as Mrs. Murdock does, it is more than regrettable that the giving of a popular prize should be allowed. Such a performance in a "cake walk" would be all right, but it has no place in such a program as Mrs. Murdock presents. It does no good but always incalculable harm in its effects on both the loosers and the winners. And especially on the winners in any educating of the audience to see and understand fine art. But a fitting conclusion is to repeat what was said in the beginning, that the whole thing was an exhibition of progress. Aside from the program, the fine auditorium of the Independent Church was something fine to see and that Rev. Greggs should open it, without charge to advanced educational things and culture, is something, not only fitting, but an exhibition also of his own progress in forwarding desirable things in the community.

Someance, other thin because of a dis The day of division, distrust, enmity and end and everything points to a nera of conness, good will and disinterested regard for the race. Some things now occurring areance, other things are the results of care because of a disposition to do as one please The day of division, distrust, enmity and jealousy is at an end and everything points to a nera of combination, trustfulness, good will and disinterested regard for the perpetuity of the race. Some things now occurring are the results of ignorance, other things are the results of carelessness, and others because of a disposition to do as one pleases. Sometimes in the face of clear examples, men go along in an endeavor to carry into effect their designs with signs of danger placed all around. That man is a criminal at hert, and has decided to take the chances even at the expense of a few lives and the pledge of his own. What a splendid example would he set, if at the moment of commission, he would lay down his weapon and resolve to reform. The commission of one crime makes it easy to commit another. As a race, we must eliminate the crimes that necessitate the forfeiture of human lives. Another thing which has done and is doing much to break down the race habit, (we mean bad habits) is the habitual use of tobacco, fermented liquors and drunkenness; the habit of gluttony and revelry; the habit of gambling and betting. There can be no argument in favor of any of these classes because of a few cases where men have gotten by without disasters. The tobacco habit in its up-to-date form of cigarettes, has been condemned a thousand times by the medical fraternity, and yet men of the profession use it extensively. Doss that not seem foolish? The greatest danger lies in acquisition by the youth of the land. The uny, sickly boys—the hot-beds of tuberculosis are the results. Another great detriment to the youth of today is that of revelry and the loss of sleep. No boy can get his youthful grasp upon life who will leave his bed at night unrumped and find himself creeping in just before daylight and prepare to do a day of labor. No girl can hope to rise beyond her present condition who attends all kind of public functions where everybody is invited—the good and the bad all together. No sensible man will go to a public ball room to select a wife; he only goes there for a good time. Take a hint your folk and take a start upward. If you are employed take the proper rest so you can render efficient service to your employer. The men and women who have lived best and done the most for humanity are those, who have observed the rules of sobriety, frugality and thrift. THE SQUARE DEAL AND COUNTY OFFICIALS OF LOS ANGELES. Next week we will publish an article from Attorney Clinton T. Ross having to do with recent experience which was his in essaying, through meritorius effort to gain the position of Deputy District Prosecutor or Defender, which position by competitive examination he had gained and stood way up at the top of the list. His name was duly certified by the Civil Service Commission but our new District Attorney it seems displayed more science in dodging this particular appointment, than was ever displayed by Jack Johnson in avoiding the fist of an adversary in the squared arena. This brings most forcibly to the attention of all who read, that as constituted now, in this particular office there will be no square deal wherein an applicant for the emoluments of office happens to have a dark skin. This to our mind is more of a reflection on the part of the ap- EDITORIALS EDITORIALS pointing officer than it is upon the applicant. For in all justice to himself to the County which he serves, would it not be the sensible and right thing to do to give representation to 45,000 of his constituents. While Ross loses out temporarily and the race likewise their future is before them and in due time District Attorneys will come who like Theodore Roosevelt will not hesitate to give all the people a square deal. The Soaring Eagle speaks up for the people at this time and absolutely unafraid of any consequences, that there are men future who will be District Attorneys who will not hesitate to be just to all classes of his constituency and render unto them a fair and square deal and that time will be in the not far distant future. It is up to our Supervisors in a few days to name several judicial officers made possible by new legislation enacted at the last session of the legislature. For one of the place of Justice of the Peace three names o f highly reputable and able jurists of our group have made application and we suppose that they are being backed up by their friends.

Prezant organ of sight which is the chief factor in the education and intellectual development of man, and by its aid, the form, color, size, distance, position and characteristic objects become known. ...The sense of sight lies in the brain not in the eye, and may be divided into three classes of perception—light, form and color. Light sense is the faculty of distinguishing illumination and its graduations of intensity. Form sense is the faculty of recognizing shape, outline. Color sense is the highest level of color and enables the eye to appreciate, light ways of, different, frequencies. In general, all three divisions of visual perception are present but either of them may be lacking in a particular cause. The faculty of visual projection is inherent with respect to distance. It appears to be acquired. A baby obviously makes mistakes in the distance of an object it whishes to grasp, due to lack of sense or education. The exact process of mental interpretation is however unknown. We do not know the nature of the force which conveys the sensation, nor can we assign their respective functions to the known center of vision. island and as such was noted for his efficiency. He is a property owner, churchman and all around man of at fairs and his friends are legion. We also met the talented and brilliant educator, L. J. Williams, who has for many years been a reader of the Soaring Eagle and we appreciate him for his forcefulness and energy in the prosecution of any proposition which he undertakes. At San Francisco we met the District Grand Director of Odd Fellows, Mr. Owen A. Anderson. Mr. Anderson is on the side when not at his post with the Santa Fe R. E. quite a scrib and contributes generously to a local paper. He is one of the rising members of the Odd Fellows and secretary of the famous Golden West Lodge at San Francisco. At Oakland we met S. C. Moore Deputy Grand Master of the Odd Fellows, who extended to us every courtesy and who was all in his glory at the successful setting up of a new Lodge of which he was the promoter at Berkeley. Mr. Moore is serving his second term as deuty District Grand Master. At Fresno we stopped at the beautiful new home of Mr. and Mrs. Barnes 121 D Street and we appreciate the progressiveness of this couple who have improved this section to such a large degree, they have recently moved to the modern skr room home with every modern convenience and luxuriously furnished throughout. No home in all California shows to any better advantage than this hom of Mr. and Mrs. Barnes. At San Francisco we will not close by falling to mention our meeting with the sage, and, politician, John Taylor, who is a patron of the Eagle and acknowledge the courtesies extended us. Also we must mention a sister, suisse Mr. Taylor, under who conducts a flourishing cafe on Sutter near Filmore. Nor Mr. A. Alberga, the hustling genius of Golden Gate Lodge. HOUSTON SHANNON ON ROAD TO HEALTH During our recent visit at Oakland, we visited Mr. and Mrs. Shannon, at their beautiful home on 19th Avenue, and we are glad to note that after quite a serious illness, Mr. Shannon is raidy gaining his health and will soon be able to be up and around. Eagle readers will remember that Mr. Shannon was formerly connected with this aper heater and later as our Northern representative. He was an entergetic worker and rendered valiant service to this publication. Mrs. Shannon, his estimable wife, has always been a staunch supporter and booster for the Soaring Eagle and the editor appreciates most highly the hospitality and friendship of Mr. and Mrs. Shannon.

COMMENTS The members of a Negra lodge of masonrs purchased a lot at Jefferson and University Ave., Berkeley, California. A protest was entered by a comparatively few of the citizens (white) because it was claimed, that the erection of the temple to be dedicated to Masonry would cause a depreciation in the value of thtsurveying property. The Mayor the numbers of the City Council have thus far been in vain, but we learn that overtures have been made by interested persons to r-purchase the property, and that some of the custodians of the property for the lodge are seriously thinking of re-selling, arguing that it can be done at a profit. We hope that the lodge will retain the property, and lay aside any financial interest for the moral effect which their determination will have on all concerned. been fortunate enough to receive an education and are equipped for service to humanity. Sacrifices are to be made; doctors, and the graduate nurses must join with the teachers in the work of welfare. The work must be concentrated on the children; it is the only hope for the perpetuation of the race. Yes, our Doctors, Lawyers and Teachers, must use their diligence, the people don't stop with their graduation Thesis, nor the reception of their diplomas. It is only the beginning. As long as we have to be buried it is well that the caskets be manufactured by Negroes and that Race undertakers bury us, but we hope that there will be rather a decrease than increase in their numbers in the next decade, and that the decrease will be from the fact that improved sanitary conditions have increased the length of our days. The Japanese have invaded the select East Sacramento residential district, and are erecting an apartment house in that exclusive society colony. The usual protests have been made, but the Nipponese go on building. Women's Clubs and other civic bodies have entered protests, and offers to purchase the holdings have been made to the Japanese, but without avail; and there is no law which can prohibit the building. It is to be used house object, in the United Kingdom, where work in the buildings. Remember that the Japanese are being made the objects of discrimination, and a surrender to the claumour of prejudice would be an acknowledgement of the inferiority which is claimed. So they hold on to that which they have. Even at a financial sacrifice. 0----00----0 Dr. Hyde, of Hillsboro, Oregon, speaking recently before an assembly of Spanish American War Veterans, said: "The mixing of white and Orientalis is to be deplored and discountenced, as it invariably creates a degenerate type. This in the face of a statement from one of the best authorities on racial types, who recently after a test, pronounced the progeny of a white woman and her Japanese husband perfect types of mental and physical childhood. It is claimed that the Negro as a type is inferior, yet of the twelve million credited to the Race fully eight million are of mixed blood. Looking back to race achievements it would be very hard to determine, whether it was the preponderance of the white or black blood which had given the best results to civilization. 0----00----0 The increase in the number of Negro undertakers, or to be more polite, Mortarists, should be a cause for health investigation by our Race health experts. It is said that business is a sure barometer of the progress of governments, and if the same is applied to groups, then, we have cause to be alarmed at the increase in the business of the persons who see to the "last sad rites." According to government statistics, the increase death rate among the Negroes is alarming. And the majority of the deaths are from preventable causes. Tuberculosis, Cancer, and diseases from infection are among the cause registered. Of course we know that we are handicapped. Even when improvement to the present conditions could be made from a sanitary standpoint are pointed out; heed is seldom given. There is much work cut out for the young men and women who have now today, exactly 147 years have passed a Negro boy reads the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the old State House. Charles C. Dogan, Negro, Honor Student of the English High School, Boston, was selected by the committee to read the historic document, July 4th. Protest had been made to the Mayor of Boston for the selection of young Dogan, but the only satisfaction gained by the protestants, was an unmerciful exorcication by the Mayor. The death of Attucks, the valor of the 54th Massachusetts regiment, and the reading of the Declaration by Dogan the Negro boy, are epochs in the trend of Negro history. Let us think! As long as we think intelligently, sanely, the Race is safe. We can acknowledge leadership, but should do our own thinking. Leadership does not make the man infallible. Let us THINK! HEALTH NOTES By: DR. E. B. LEWIS. B. Sc., M. D. 1618 $ \frac{1}{2} $ East Ninth Street AGAINST PARALYSIS As long as the winds of heaven blow and the dust rises, the germ of infantile paralysis may find its way to any human being, regards sot class. The child of the tenement who sits in the railroad station may leave upon the bench a nest of bacilli for the woman of fashion to brush up in passing and to transmit to her own child. The scientific name of the malady is derived from the Greek words "pollos," meaning gray, and "myelos," or marrow. Therefore, "anterior polomyelitis" means disease of the gray matter of the spinal cord, especially in the front or anterior portion. The co-operation of every citizen is necessary to prevent the spread, and in order that he may take proper precautions for his own household, as well as for others, he should know something of the nature of this insidious disease. Now, for instance, when some explosion breaks a street conduct and disrupts the cables within it, the effect is felt all over the neighborhood. Electric lights go out, machines stop for want of power, the electric tan comes to a stop, the telephone is, is useless and the functions of a system of communication, one perfect, are deranged. So it is with the spinal cord, a cable of tissues in a conduit of bone. From it at intervals there issue the nerves, which are led out from the sections of the spine, the berthebrae, to the various parts of the body. In a word, this dread scourge of al cord. It infures or destroys a substance in which originate the nerves children is due to disease of the spin- been fortunate enough to receive an education and are equipped for service to humanity.

As long as we have to be buried it is well that the caskets be manufactured by Negroes and that Race undertakers bury us, but we hope that there will be rather a decrease than increase in their numbers in the next decade, and that the decrease will be from the fact that improved sanitary conditions have increased the length of our days. The United States Government is not awed one whit by the activities, or parades of any sect or klan. Hines, as the spokesman of the President, has said that he did not want to invite disorder by doing anything that would create disorder in that vicinity. Shades of our forefathers! Here is a representative of this great nation telling a measly crowd of Negro batters, that ten million people are afraid of them. 000 Crispus Attucks was killed on Boston Common. Col. Robert Shaw led the 54th Regiment of Negro volunteers from Boston to Fort Wagner during the war of the Rebellion, and now today, exactly 147 years have passed a Negro boy reads the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the old State House. Charles C. Dogan, Negro, Honor Student of the English High School, Boston, was selected by the committee to read the historic document July 4th.

The insulation of the great cable of life is damaged, the wires are destroyed and communication is demoralized. Just as a telephone seems "dead" when the telephone operator at the central switch falls to life the key, the arms and legs no longer respond to the brain impulses, muscles wither and decrease in size for want of nourishment, and all the senses are more or less impaired by the baleful virus of infantile paralysis which has invaded the system. The disease is extremely infectious and contagious, particularly in the careless and sloven. For this reason the victim should be quarantined for at least six weeks. The ger mkmakes its headway in warm weather and tepid dampness. It does not seem to be affected appreciably by either cold or dryness, and is, therefore, hardy. It lives a long time in dust, as well as in the silky long hair of the Pomeranian in the splendid home on Wilshire Blvd., the dog that rolls on his back in the vacant lot, the cat that prowls in the collar, the horse that stalls from the gutter and the fly that sticks from door to door. The law of health must be enforced. The mere going to the country carries no immunity from this modern plague. The conditions in the farm house or in the villages or the hotel may be worse than those from which the little darlings escaped. Too much care cannot be exercised in seeing that all places are free from decaying material. Fatigue javies infection.

Advice to Parents See to it that your children have abundant meals of substantial and wholesome food, that their nervous systems are not put under heavy tension by excitement or exertion. Keep your house clean, keep th e children clean, keep their bowels open, keep them away from crowds as best you can and put them to bed early. As the portal through which infantile paralysis enters the system is the nose, keep the nasal passages clean. The irrigation with an alkaline solution is especially helpful. Boracic acid solution is also effective. Finally, "swat the fly" with more vim and vigor than did the little tailor of fairy tale lore, who killed seven flies at one blow. Keep the windows well screeche dawn go after the fly with whatever trusty weapon comes to hand. QUES.

CALIFORNIA EAGLE AUTOMOTIVE SECTION AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY HAS A MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR MICHELIN INDEPENDENT RUBBER CO. 852 Central Ave. Phone: Main 0754 Perhaps no concern has enjoyed the confidence of the Automotive public more than has the Reo Motor Car Company of this city. I mnaking a few informal calls on several of the large concerns of the city it happened to be my good fortune to visit the Reo Motor Car Company headquarters at 12th and Hope, and I must admit I was somewhat staggered as I was courteously shown through its various departments from show rooms and offices to wash rack and exit. No finer outfit is to be found in the city. Wonderful beyond description are the sights I saw. And, more wonderful the system instituted for disposing of what looks to be, and no doubt is, the best car on the market for the money. In an interview with Mr. Byron C. Foy, General Manager, he expressed himself as more than pleased with results obtained through the new sales method. Yes, says he, our business is selling those who wish a car one of our real automobiles, and to that end the Reo Motor Car Company is sending the car to your door for inspection, rather than asking you to call at our headquarters, pleased as we are to have you call. But we believe that the time one spent in traveling through heavy traffic could be saved by just stepping around the corner looking over the several models on display, having the demonstrator take you for a ride, and completing the sale at the office when you return. All of which sounds like a fish tale, but its so. Seven out of every nine that have stepped in for a ride in their looking about for a good car have become purchasers, and the other two. Oh well, they just didn't want a car at the present time, but assured us of a sale when they did. Happy to meet this individual was I much more surprised that it was necessary to use a jimmy to get a private facts about the best car the money. 108-379 (Exclusive Dispatch) A SMITH Detroit, Dec. 20. This has been truly a prosperous year for the Auto industry. The business has not only held its own, but increased in volume to the surprise of every one. Just now, there is considerable rivalry between many factories, each trying to shove the other out of the hands of having turned out the largest number of cars available for 1924. As has been said before in the columns of this paper, Detroit is a wonderful city from a manufacturing standpoint, and one would think, judging from the number turned out daily that detail was overlooked, but not so. Acute and precise to the most minute degree, is every car, and its parts. Again, all concerns are swamped with orders in this neighborhood, and California and the Great West at this moment seem to be leading the process. Hudson, Buicks, Essex's Dodges, Fords, Cadillacs, Lincoln, and hundreds of other makes turned out in the great Northeast, are flying in all directions on freight train specials to fill the Xmas demand. Yes, this has been a great year for all concerned. In fact the greatest in Automobile history. Better cars, great profits to the business in general, despite the substantial reduction in price, which has remitted in a large volume of business. Prosperity in a marked degree is on parade. Success is grand marshal of the day, and Good times represent the make up of those in line of march, and with colors flying, voices crying. Hurrah for '23; they are marching toward the new year, '24, with marked degree. May the confidence of all concerned in this great industry repose release in the minds of the public.

Mail of an inquiring nature from everywhere and everybody customers, euto dealers, and by the way, our friend, the Evening Express went out of its way to pay us a compliment. Made us feel that our effort, after all, was worth while, and we were mighty glad, thankful too, to each and all for that necessary coeration so essential to success. THE NEW YORK TIMES X-MAS True Xmas comes but once a year to bring us each a bit of cheer, and the spirit displayed is buoyant to all. Rich and poor alike commensurate with your condition hangs on your door step the sign "Peace on earth, good will toward men." And I'd suggest that we all attend, at least once a year, the Synagogue, over which John Stevens McGroarty presides from his pulpit in the green verdugo hills. Don't know of any pastor that presides over such a large congregation and accomplishes so much good. ACCIDENTS Wonder if you have been keeping in touch with the many accidents that are daily happening from the careless use of the automobile. If not one should. Reading the bible helps us to be ever mindful of our religious obligations, and keeping in touch with the accidents that happen, if we have any brains, helps us to avert them by beingug more careful. TRAFFIC Every day in every way its getting worse and worse. Horses in their day and time seem to have shown more brains than many self styled auto drivers who seem only to know and remember that every auto has a gas throttle and it is used many times instead of the forgotten brake.

Following breakfast, which consists of air, oil and water, with an occasional gallon or two of gas, I haul the boss to town, return and immediately change for my working clothes, and plow ten acres. Then I pull up by the wood pile, jack up on one wheel bolt on a saw and cut a cord or so of wood. Following this, I pump some water, about 500 gallons. Right after lunch I change and take Mr. Farmer's wife to afternoon tea at Mrs. Goodtime. Then I call for her husband, return, pick her up, take them home to supper, and then to the picture show, safe, home, and I am through till 5 a.m. next day. Q. Ever been sick? If so, of what allment?

Report of examiner—Passed with an average of 95 per cent. GASOLINE GASOLINE America's consumption of gasoline in round numbers, is, just think, 160 million barrels annually. Rather somewhat alluring figures. Particularly interesting to know when the back yard of Los Angeles has become the oil capitol of the world as suddenly as President Coolidge ascended to the head of this government. In this country, there are at present, 13 million machines, enjoying mobile health, and consuming 8 billion gallons of this liquid fluid annually. Our liquid gold, like the Klondike nuggets of vesteryearns has a limit. It is useless, of course, to speculate on the probability of certain fields in the United States going dry or gradually slumping in production. Authorities who are presumed to know seem to be unanimous in their opinin on that just such a condition awaits around the corner. Experts sometimes prove not to be so expert, however, in telling what is below the surface of the earth and just about the time some woll known chap in the line of oil hunting gets through making a report on certain fields in which he state on certain fields in which he states that there is no trace of oil, some nervy wildcatter opens up said field with a bang. It is true, however, that the outlook is far from promising, considering the present producing fields and the greatly increased demand for gasoline, which mounts higher month by month. The search for a substitute goes on with increased interest and government forces are conducting constant experiments in the hope of securing a motor fuel equal to gasoline. In the meantime let the 500 thousand of this neighborhood who are forced to use autos be thankful that we live at a source and production, where gas, the best crude, retails at 15 cents per gallon, and not in Australia or a few other places where gas sells for 75 cents per gallon, and too, let us pray that the government will be successful in finding that substitute whatever it may be, before the well goes dry.

Oil was first used as a liniment under the name of "Rock Oil", and was collected from surface seepage. Following the analysis of oil by a chemist in 1853, its commercial value was recognized and several companies formed to gather it from springs and streams. Colonel Drake conceived the idea of drilling and, organised the "Senica Oil Company", which erected the first crude derrick and won the distinction of being the first drilling company to lose ninth and go bankrupt. With reorganised building Colonel Drake struck oil on August 28, 1853 at a depth of 65% feet. During the first four months the well yielded 4000 barrels at $20.00 each, and still on a paying basis. This was, incidentally, the shallowest well ever drilled in Pennsylvania. REO Michelin is the oldest of all the automobile tire makers for it was Michelin who introduced the world's first pneumatic automobile tire back in 1895. Importance of Michelle's Unexcelled Experience. Other manufacturers may make as many tires as Michelin but none has made tires for so long a time. When you consider that it is literally takes years after a tire manufacturer has made an experimental change in his product before he can know conclusively the results at all seasons, in all climates, under all driving con- citils and in the service of all kinds of people—then you realize the importance of Michelin's extra years of experience. The Great Tire Specialist Michelin is also distinguished as the great tire specialist. It has been said that practically all the important forward strides in science, invention and production are the result of men giving their lives to one thing. All Michelin's efforts have always been devoted to a single purpose—to make the world's best pneumatic tire equipment. Other manufacturers may make hot water bottles, garden hose, rubber shoes, golf balls and a host of other articles, but Michelin makes only pneumatic tires and pneumatic tire equipment. For this, and other reasons, Michelin's leadership in the the industry has become traditional.

IZOIL SAFE LUBRICATION --- SAFE BRICATION uses that the highest type of lubricating oils should still originate from this very region where the first production occurred. "There are two main reasons why this should be so. The first is that the origin of Safe Lubrication is in the crude from which it is refined. The highest type of lubrication cannot be extracted from a crude which does not contain the highest lubricating qualities. Pennsylvania crudes are of paraffin base and are recognized by unblased authorities as the best known source for inlubricating oil. Pennsell is extracted year after year entirely from Premium Pennsylvania Crude—and for that reason is unvaryingly uniform and of the highest standard of value. "The second reason is to be found in the method of refining experience under conditions which preserve the lubricating values of the Premium Pennsylvania Crude to the fullest degree, and give a lubricating oil of the highest fire point and greatest durability it is possible to produce. The filtration methods used avoid the use of injurious acids and sulpho compounds, leaving a lubricating oil of Supreme Pennsylvania uality." What is the value of a used car? Is it worth considering in a trade or purchase to take a chance and get one? There are many angles to the used car story. The used car has wrecked and broken up many persons on the one hand, and it has given tremendous satisfaction on the other. Cars four or five years old have in many instances, been found superior in point of service to the person purehasing a used car than a car only a year or so old. This, it might be stated, is due largely to A the fact that the five year old car has had the best or care, and use while the car a year old has been abused. But one, after all, must place his faith more in the dealer he deals with than in the appearances of the car, for it is largely upon the dealer's information that the sale is made. In buying a used car, therefore, one should be extremely careful lost he fall into the hands of one of the thousand and one sharks that infest the used car business, ready upon a moment's notice to rob the perspective investor of his hard cash in exchange for a car that has everything the matter with it from tire rim to consumption of the caburetor. buyen troes, gett a Seroa sg. sigh buyera tsoes | ostt1 aSgno sras f-siisl As long as we have automobiles, there will be used cars just as there is used furniture stores and other sec- ond hand concerns.

PHONE: 820-755 JOHN WESLEY COLEMAN You cannot write truly of men who by grit and determination have made a success, and especially so in this great Western section, unless you write right up at the top of the list, this great commoner, James Wesley Coleman. We write this with sincerity, and a history which proves every word we write. Coleman occupies a conspicuous place in the growth and progress of our group in these Western shires, and his life and accomplishments are a practicable demonstration of the opportunities which await those who strive and are willing to work and sacrifice in order to bring about success. He is a man who has ever aspired to "Be something", Do Something, and to have something, and at the same time to work in unison as well as to cooperate for not nly the advancement to himself, but for his race as well. No movement along the line of racial advancement has failed for lack of support by Mr. Coleman. BORN IN LONE STAR STATE Born in the town of Columbus, Texas, he was the only child of the family. His lot was the same as that of other children of his time, but early in life the "Star of hope" was implanted in his mind, and every effort was bended toward that star. At the early age of nine years he was placed in the schools of his city, nad later, in Tillotson College, which place he left in 1884. Firmly imbued with the lessons learned, he kept the star of hope as his guide, left the farm at Austin, and came Westward. Having an abiding faith in himself, he never faltered by theway. He had a vision for real and lasting success, and was confident that success would crown his effort. CORNER STONE MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH 1428 E. 14th Street Rev. A.

ARRIVES IN LOS ANGELES On October 10, 1887, he arrived in the city of Los Angeles without means but with plenty of grit and a determination to make his way. From that moment, the history of the progress of the Negro in Los Angeles could not be written without the name of J. W. Coleman. He has been a part and parcel of every movement which meant progress. He himself set the example by taking the lead in many a instances. His first employment was as driver for the Black Diamond Coal Company. He had visions of a business career, and this position proved irksome to him, and he opened at 1st and Los Angeles Sts. a first class cafe. After successfully conducting this business for a year, he disposed of it and became a landscape gardening contractor, which business he followed for three years, when he decided to further his experiences with travel. He worked as a Fullman porter for twelve years, going to all sections of the country, meeting all kinds and conditions of people. START BUSINESS CAREER Returning to the home of his choice he opened up his permanent business career by establishing the first hostelry conducted by a member of our group in Los Angeles, namely, the Hotel Coleman, at 145 South Pedro Street, which place he successfully conducted for five years. He also conducted for two years, the first furniture store. His next venture was the insurance business. He was the pioneer among our people along this line of effort. In connection with this business he was advertising agent for Venice and Santa Monica Bay, as well as superintendent for Dr. Burner and his chain of sanitariums, also at the same time serving as deputy constable.

Sinclaire White-Murdock, "Violin", and Prof. John A Gray, "Plano" Having, in the past; meritoriously won the high honor and unlimited appreciation of the public as to prestige in the musical world, it is candidly conceded that a recital managed by these two artists is always of a magnitude to draw the biggest crowd and spell for the occasion an aver whelming success. At this recital, the students in both the Piano and Violin displayed an artistic touch with a degree of efficiency that music critics might have attributed to one and all the title of artist. At the close of the program, Mr. Noah D. Thompson, thru his diplomatic method, with the audience acquiescing, rendered judgment, after which Dr. N. P. Greegs presented the first prize to Mr. Lawrence Lassiter, and with very fitting remarks, presented the second and third awards to the piano students. Last Sunday the services of the church were marked with historic inspiration all day. The pastor preached one of those able and soul-stirring sermons. At night a program was renderer that will ever register fame for this historic christian body. Prof. C. A. Biggers, acting as Master of Ceremonies, fittingly introduced and presented the speaker of the evening. Dr. Eugene C. Nelson, the speaker, delivered a very pointed and inspiring address. And in this Dedicatory address, he gave a brief history of the marvelous growth and accomplishments of the church, complimenting the pastor Dr. Greggs, for his masterly performances as a pastor of a peerless, reputable leadership. Following Dr. Nelson's address, the crowning event, the unveiling of the Mammoth Pipe Organ by Mr. George Beavera, Jr., assisted by his little son, Master Prince Beavers and the oldest minister in the church, Rev.

Dr. Hastings, Seamed to be at his best, and demonstrated his turn at his best, and demonstrated his ELDORADO GOLD STAR HAS BIG PROGRAM-1924 came a household word throut out the land. In this realm he had found his talent, his fame goes forth as a reader of men and he has in the period of his existence at this location, sent forth more than 50,000 persons to positions ranging in all the various lines of effort, and many substantial citizens readily testify to the fact that it was Coleman who started them on their way to success on these western shores. He keeps in the closest touch with emplorer and employee, and is on the going line at all times giving the best that can be obtained to his patrons. Few people conceive or will give credit to the great service Mr. Coleman has rendered his race. A pioneer in this line of endeavor, he is, at all times on the watchtower, and can discern the true economic conditions which confront the race more so than any other one man in this section. He is a notable success and due credit must be accorded to this energetic and far sighted citizen who has overcome all barriers, and gone over the top, and is truly the Employment King of Los Angeles. HAS CIVIC INTEREST Though a busy man and swamped with calls for help and those seeking positions, he has managed to give of his time and means to further the interests of all movements for the civic settlement of this city and community. He is a prominent member of the Forum, served two terms as president thereof, prominent and charter member of the Independent church. He is a 33rd degree Mason, Shriner, and an Odd Fellow. He called the first National Convention of People of African descent; was elected National President of the same, and put on the most unique and spectacular parade ever held in this city. The work of this organization being so near in principle to that of the Garvey Movement, Mr. Coleman gave way, and became one of the prominent leaders in the U. N. L. A.

During the years, 1921, 1922, and 1923, the attention of many of the substantial stockholders of this company was turned was turned over to the Oil Industry and was made to believe by the promoters of said concerns, that great riches were available and would be paid to all investors in oil stock in a few months. The time for paying dividends has passed, and many of the Promoters are now in the clutches of the law on trial for misrepresentations; while others have already been sentenced to the penitentiary. The truth of the matter is, their duped stockholders will never realize a penny on their investments. The El Dorado Gold Star Mining Company is operated under the authority from the Commissioner of the Blue Sky Laws, because its claims are genuine, and the property is being judiciously developed. The management is confident that ten dollars on each and every dollar invested in its stock, will be returned eventually in dividends; that candid opinion is based on the fact that several care of crude ores were shipped to the Gulf Lake Utah, Smelters. In addition, several bullion bricks of gold and silver were made directly from the ore on the property. The large tonnage of milling ore on the workings, and the vast quantity of the higher grade Mr. Coleman has accumulated property concieting of two flats with 16 and 17 rooms respectively, 2 five and six room cottages, several large vacant lots, from which properties he enjoys an income of more than $350 per month, and as we aforesaid, this came to pass without shirking any of the responsibilities of real, genuine, and progressive citizenship. PIONEER FAMILY Aside from Mr. Coleman's genial and sympathizing helpmate, who has endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact, is Mrs. Coleman Bynum, the venerable mother of the subject of this sketch, who, with her distinguished son, is among the sturdy pioneers of Los Angeles. Mr. Coleman's mother is quite a character, and at her age, full of activity, the affection between mother and son is one of the greatest forces which has contributed to his remarkable success. FAMILY REUNION On October 29th last, Mr. Coleman decided to have a general reunion of the five generations of which the family consists. The accompanying cut with this article is a group picture of the family.
