Branch University Student Takes Manly Stand Knowing that it is said that public opinion rules this country, and realizing that public opinion helps to rule it, we feel that the public should be acquainted with certain vital and poignant facts. The University of California at Los Angeles has a student body of about four thousand persons. Approximately thirty of these persons are black Americans. The University of California is largely supported by the taxes of the people. The last fact mentioned means that the black Americans of this city, thus their labor, are proportionately responsible for the existence of a state university. The regents of the University, the governing body, are supposedly, the representatives of the will of the people. Of this body of regents, the Hon. Mr. Hayes, of San Jose, is the next to the youngest member. He should represent every type of the noble State of California. On the anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the Hon. Mr. Hayes addressed the student body of the Southern Branch, a democratic and cosmopolitan group, representing the young manhood and womanhood of all classes and races of America. His subject was - "The Greatest American—Abraham Lincoln". On the evening of the same day, honoring the same occasion, Mr. John Stephen McGroarty addressed the group, largely sectarian, at the Knights of Columbus auditorium. Not a Black American was present. Yet Mr. Groarty eulogized the Negro and lauded him to the skies; everything he said was on the basis of fact. It is said that he brought forth facts honoring the black man that black men never learned. To Mr. McGroarty, poet philosopher, free agent under obligation to none, we owe a debt of gratitude. But to the Hon. Mr. Hayes, member of the Board of Regents of the University of California representative of the people, honored by their labor, and supposedly in his position to exercise discretionary powers, we can never write his address. In spite of the truth that Abraham Lincoln is remembered by the mass, not because he preserved the Union, but because he freed the slave, the only mention made of the black man within the entire discourse of Hon. Hayes, was in a story of chicken stealing, where the negro was the victim of the slave thief. He not only said "darky" once, but said it an unusual number of times and, at the end of is little bit of humor he attempted to present a bit of Negro dialect. It was amateurly presented. We would not presume to censure or criticise any action of Hon. Mr. Hayes, but the reaction, redefending to the degradation and humiliation of some thirty Negro students, sitting in different parts of the auditorium, surrounded for the most part by their white classmates, smacked of every thing that would tend to do discredit and dishonor to the Negro, and of nothing significant of the Democrat principles of the University of California. Hon. Mr. Hayes may not see the point; for his edification we will cite two examples: A young lady, hitherto unnoticed, became immediately the object of scorn, sneers, giggles, remarks, raiding of eyebrows, etc., until her embarrassment and humiliation became almost great enough to drive her to tears. The writer, sitting far from her, was so insulted byusive humor of his white associates. The possible conditions arising from such a talk are easily seen by any one of normal intelligence. We would request of Mr. Harris to not an address a student, but again. We would ask the University of California to post speakers professionally in their appearance as to their audience and the use of tact (the student mind is usually impressed). We would leach the community to think upon these things and to take more interest in its power its university, and its students. We feel like asking "Is there any punishment too great for a man or men who would sell the women of their race into immoral slavery?" Two years ago when we visited Stockton we observed that it was impossible for a strange colored woman to walk the streets of this fair city without being subjected to some form of insult. While visiting the churches we endeavored to call the people's attention to the fact that the only thing that Negroes in that section had commercialized was vice, and if things were to go as they appeared on the surface, there would come a time when the old settlers of the reliable, industrial class would greatly regret that they did not take a hand in a much needed house cleaning. Now here comes the "Stockton Daily Independent" of Wednesday, February 6, with this front page header. Arrest Negro Women As Vags 11 Taken Into Custody in Raised on Colored Section of City "In araid by the police on the Negro quarter of the town yesterday 11 colored women were arrested and charged with vagrancy. They were later released on $100 bill to appear before Police Judge Warren H. Atherton Thursday. Their appearance in court will be demanded, it was declared, and bench warrants for their arrest and appearance in court will be issued should they fail to be present in court Thursday. The eleven women gave their names as Ia Drisden, 30, Helen Duval, 22, and Sullie Overman, 29, all of 205 South Monroe Street; Edna Hopkins, 37, and Ethel Moose, 27, of 412 West Main Street; Beasle Turner, 40, of 32 South Van Buren Street; May Woods, 37, of 345 West Market Street; Jeanette Chapman, 31, of 46 West Market Street; Pauline Murphy, 25, of 130 West Market Street, and Anna Alexander, 23, and Billie Jackson, 28, of 42 South Madison Street. Starting at Center Street and moving west between Main and Washington Streets, the police squad arrested every woman known to be a vagrant and raided many alleged disorderly houses. The drive followed an infus of vagrant colored women into Stockton, and is the start of a drive to clean the city of vagrant-women. The raiding squad was composed of Captain of Detectives C. O. Smith and Officers Clarence Frederickls, F. J. MoHugh and C. Fred Tros. And this unsigned statement written on the margin of said paper—"All of these women are from Los Angeles, Oakland, and Pasadena. They come here, and make it hard on the rest of us. The Negro men come first, get places for them, and they tell people they are visiting. So you see what they are doing. The Negro men tell them to deal with white, Mexican, or Hindu men, in fact anything but colored. They are disgracing the race running out into the streets, grabbing white men trying to pull them in. We don't want this low class of Negro men and women up here. They had better stay away." In answer to this protest we suggest that the colored citizens of Stockton who stand for decency demand of the authorities of that city that these lawmen lepers be driven out and along with them drive out also those higher up who stand between the law and common decency in their own residential sections for a patry sum.

WASHING- INGTON, JR., STIRS UP HORNETS NEST The following article appeases in last Sunday's edition of the Los Angeles Times. Further comment is unnecessary as said article state facts in brief, and every fair minded reader, black or white must certainly commend Mr. Washington for the brave and fearless stand taken in a matter which not only interests himself, but the race as well for after all what affects one affects all. Six months or a year ago, Mr. Washington, in Sierra Madre may, we hope, give those who have seen it to try to make it unpleasant for him and family, an opportunity to study the Negro community, and hand and pave the way for those who are swimming in both ignorance and prejudice to realize the skin has nothing whatsoever to do with one being respectable, and entitled to respect. It may, we hope, as has been the case in other places where the same trouble has arisen, prove to the objection that the Negro is not only a Negro, but an American citizen, and too, more than that, a man, despite the fact that he has suffered 300 years of subjection, humiliation, and been amalgamated by the same fellow who, as Chandler Owen has stated, practices social equality at night, and stirs up race hatred in the days. And when the times you can't tell where the Negro begins and the white man ends, and as such, he is entitled to at least, if nothing more, to reside in the beautiful section of a respectable community commensurate with his means, where his taxes have helped to pay for street improvements, electric lights, gas, and installation of sewer malns in preference to being segregated and pushed back to live in grave yard hollows, stockyards, and manufacturing districts, where street improvements are unknown, sewer drains the vill, health conditions the most unsupratory. As long as we as a race accept these conditions and continue to see our tax money go to improve white districts, and make no just protest, just so long will you be considered a Sambo, and your place, it matters not what your financial status, is the dog house. ing. You will do well to hear her. She speaks each night. Those who will avail themselves of the opportunity to hear her, will receive a message of rare importance. The voice of Mrs. Howard pleads for a higher Christian perfection. There is no voice in the church today that rings more clear and distance than the voice of Elizabeth Howard. Among the testimonials that come concerning the effort of Sister Howard is this one from Ohio, which we are publishing because it appeals to reason. Portsmouth, O, Sept. 10, 1923. To whom this may come:— In times like these when the forces of darkness are arrayed with so much subtlety and deception against the influences of life and light, when materialism is sapping the life blood out of the church. It is refreshing to hear a voice that rings out for the highest possible Christian ideals and thunders against the castle dome of the church. Such is the voice of Mrs. Elizabeth L.

On Sunday, February 17th, Vallejo awoke to record upon her history the most fluentish and atrocious crime ever perpetrated in the State. At 109%-rear Carolina street lives a mother (Mrs. Miljard Oliver) and her six children, four boys, and two girls; the mother and larger boy laboring daily that this family might have the common necessities of life. But while this little family group was enjoying as best they could life in its fullness, a thief, a robber, a murderer, a bribe in human form, violated the sanctity of this home, and with a stolen and possessed a big money doll dressed sweet little Rosie who was but six years old to be old shed in the rear of a vacant house in Kissell Dark Alley and there committed a murder unparalleled in the annals of crime. When little Rosie failed to get the Big Mamma Doll promised to her on entering the shed her human instinct sensing danger and foul play taught her to scream, whereupon Marion Taylor, a twelve year old Negro boy of Napa city, proceeded to strangle her to death and while the gentle zephyr of the evening bore her sweet little life to that Great Beyond, stripped her of every vestige of clothing, even removing the shoes from her feet, and accomplish his brutal purpose. After satisfying himself that his vic- tim could no longer make an alarm, he proceeded to make his futile escape. He walked sixteen miles to Napa, his conscience troubled him so that he returned to the scene of his crime, wandered around the outskirts of town until dark and was picked up at the three mile house by a motorist and carried to Napa.

Huggins of te Commercial National Bank Says Officer Course of Arrest About 2:00 p. m. Monday afternoon Central Avenue at Seventh was the scene of another daring bank rebbery when DeGrove Bullock, a young man of 22 years stagger a holdup by entering the bank and giving Assistant Manager, Mr. Huggins, a note through the window, demanding all the money within his reach, Mr. Huggins compiled with the demands after being confronted with an automatic pistol. The robber obtained $1,858, and with gun drawn back in to the street. He ran to a taxi cab, and, pressing the pistol to the driver's face, ordered him to drive away. Mr. Huggins ran out of the bank into the street and reported the robbery to officer F. E. Corley, traffic officer at the corner of Seventh and Central, who fired several shots at the fleeing taxi cab. After jumping on the running board of a passing car, officer Corley gave chase dawn Central Avenue until the robber leaped from the car at Sixth and Gladys and ran to a restaurant on East Fifth Street. When the robber left the restaurant an expressman summoned other officers to help in the chase. The robber ran to St. Francis Hotel and up to his room; where the officers recovered the $1,858 hidden in a water pitcher. He was hiding behind the door when the officers entered the room. Before being taken to jail he is said to have made a confession. In getting this report from Bank officials of the Commercial National Bank, its Assistant Manager, Mr. M. Huggins, has this to say about the prompt action of officer Corley in making the capture: "The much praise can not be given officer F. E. Corley for the part he played in the affair. We would not have made a successful capture If not for his bravery, and we want the people of Los Angeles to know that we appreciate to the highest the remarkable courage and bravery shown at so great a crisis". Julius C. Lewis, the proprietor of the Pioneer Studio located at 1435 Central Avenue, met an immediately and somewhat mysterious death early Wednesday morning. Mr. Lewis was taken from the studio to the Receiving Hospital in an unconscious condition, and he did not regain consciousness before his death. ASSAILS KLAISE CRAINES N.A.A.C.P. In a. Lincoln's Birthday address broadcasted by station WJAR, one of the most powerful radio broadcasting stations in the country, Robert W. Bagnall, Director of Branches of the National Association; for the Advancement of Colored People, sent the Association's message out from Providence, Rhode Island, Mr. Bagnall's subject was: "How to Preserve the Spirit of Lincoln in American Life," and his address was part of a one-hour program arranged by the N.A.A. C.P. Mr. Bagnall poluted out; that the Emancipator had stood for equal opportunity and equal justice fr all. As against this broad spirit of intolerance, the Ku Klux Klan, has handed itself together, not to obtain more rights for its members, but to deny right to others. On the other hand the N.A.A.C.P., composed of both white and colored people was working in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln, for the rights of all people irrespective of race, or creed or color. Following his address Mr. Bagnall has received a letter from Thomas W. Bicknell, of Providence, by radio. I cheered but you did not hear. *In 1860 I was a student in Brown University and a member of the General Assembly of Rhode Island. My first speech was to open all schools in Rhode Island to Negro Children. In 1863 all schools were opened by Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. My life has stood four square with your purposes and arguments. The day of Deliverance is not far off. po relW reshst ctond Hamilton, Fish, Representative, in Congress from the State of New York, and former Major in the 15th Infantry, read a letter, during his address before the Anti-Lynching Mass Mass Meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which he had written to President Cohick in behalf of the imprisoned colored soldiers of the 24th Infantry. The letter is as follows: "February 9, 1924. "My dear Mr. President, "I am taking the new writing to ask clemency for the fifty-four soldiers now confined in prison for participating in the Houston, Texas race riot in the fall of 1917.

I do not give any more information on the clemency and commissioned troops who may be involved. Mr. Grant Smith head of the Suite Williams. Unde-taking Establishment, passed into the beyond Wednesday mcrning at his home on Central Avenue. He was born in Richmond, Va., 1865 and at an early age he graduated from the Raleigh Institute, Raleigh. N. C. After graduation he took a course in embalming and travelled extensively 'teaching and lecturing upon "Modern Embalming". He went to Salem, N. C., where he first engaged in the undertaking business. He came to Los Angeles in 1905 where he opened the Smith-Williams Undertaking Co. and was made the president and general manager. Mr. Smith connected himself with the Second Baptist Church and remained a faithful member until his death. He married Miss S. McCormick 1616 in Los Angeles. He was a member of four lodges. P.

Advertising Rates Made Known Upon Application EDITORIALS MORE BUSINESS FOR HAIR GROWERS. It looks as if the hair business would be very good this year. The latest edict from Paris is bobbed hair in the morning and long tresses at night.—"Voila." The rewards of a duty well done are the sweetest and most satisfying in the world. A man who says behind your back what he can't say to your face is a living definition of a coward. Well, I guess if King "Tut" had had anything else they would have included it is his burial collection, as it is "everything has been found save Madam Tut's every-day hair pins. It would be well for some of the outstanding followers of the Forum to leave home long enough to see how other people run such institutions as the Forum. You cannot get right thinking into the mind of yourself, or your child, if you permit wrong conditions to remain in the body. We must cultivate the mind if we want it to grow. It is supported in good red blood, precisely as the body and should not be neglected. Faith, loyalty, devotion, heroism and principle are vastly important. But before all these things in importance, it is to find out what is reality and not delusion, what is fact and not fiction, what is truth and what is mere supposition. Co-operation—it's the key that must open the future for the Black men in America. Until a man has reached the top in his line of endeavor he is not in a position to think that even a majority of his ideas are flawless. Haven't you a long way to go before you reach that state? Let us not get so puffed up that we cannot learn. "There is danger in thinking you are a superior being." DETERIORATIONS OF POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS: All political institutions will probably, from whatever cause, tend to become worse by time. If a system were now formed that should meet all the philosophers' and the philanthropists' wishes, it would still have the same tendency; only we do hope that henceforward to the end of time, men's mind will be intensely awake to the nature and operation of their institutions; so that aftr a new era shall commence, governments shall not slide into depravity without being keenly watched, nor be watched without the sense and spirit to arrest their deterioration. BOYS' VISION OF THE FUTURE The American manufacturer and often a philanthropist, sees in every boy in the manual training shop a future employee, either master or jouneyman. He is watching the boy and his training today as never before; and if the leaders in education were only alive to the fact it might be turned to good account. The parent and community also see in that boy a useful citizen, with whatever genius he might possess properly developed. The broad-minded teacher likewise sees in the shop work a practical and concrete application of the boy's mathematics. It is only from some of the older pedagogues of staid ideas that the objection came. And now the boy himself—since his is the viewpoint that really counts—sees the thing that the rest of us miss. It is the vision of his own future and its gradual attainment by his own efforts. With his high imaginative powers he can see around the stool or chair that he makes a great furniture or impliment factory. In the drafting room he sees himself an architect, etc. Sometimes the picture is overdrawn, but he is forming an ideal and if he is the right boy he can attain it. If statesmen and leaders of men would publish before they go in the triumph of virtue to the "last audit," or leave to be published after htey are gone, each a frank expression of their motives, cabals, and maneuvers, it would give dignity to that blind adoration of power and rank in which mankind has always superstitiously lived, by supplying just reasons for that adoration. It would also give a new aspect to history and perhaps might tend to a happy exorcism of that evil spirit which has never allowed nations to remain at peace. No matter what motive prompts war, it is a great slaughterhouse of human lives and in its trail follows chaotic conditions that take centuries to replace. War consists of an infernal abomination when maintained for any object, and according to any measure, not honestly within the obsolete necessities of defence. In these justifying necessities we include the peril to which another nation with perfect innocence on its part may be exposed from the injustice of a third power. It need not be said that wars, justifiable on either side, on the pure principles of law defence, are the rarest things in history. Whole centuries, all over darkened with the horrors of war, may be explored from beginning to end, without perhaps finding two instances in which any one belligerent power can be pronounced to have adopted every precaution, and made every effort, concession, and sacrifice, required by Christian morality, in order to avoid war. FREDERICK DOUGLAS Along with the illustrious characters that decorate the pages of American history, and are known as February children, is Frederick Douglas, commonly called the "Bronze Knight" of the Civil War. Mr. Douglas was born in Tuckahoe, Maryland, February, 1817 of slave parents. Though kept as a slave on the farm of Edward Lloyd until ten years old he was sent to live as a waiter with a relative of his master in Baltimore, where he learned to read and write. He was next bought by a Boston ship builder in 1832 for whom he became a waiter and later a ship calker. He escaped from slavery in 1838, and settled at New Bedford, Massachusetts. It was here that his clarion voice first rang out. Phillip, Lovejoy, Sumner and other strong anti-slavery agitators had been heard, but the fire that burned slavery out of the hearts of the American people was first kindled by Douglas. The others who favored the abolition of slavery were those who had seen its evil results, but here was a man who had felt; and when he appeared with his message, it came from a heart that had drunk deeply from the cup of bitterness—and the people heard. The American Anti-Slavery Society engaged him as lecturer, in which capacity he attracted considerable attention and was greeted by large audiences. He visited England, collected $750, with which his legal emancipation was purchased from his former master. He established two weekly newspapers at Rochester, New York. In 1877 he published the New National Era in Washington. A year later he was appointed Secretary of a Commission to Santo Domingo, and was named as a Republican presidential elector from New York State in 1872. He served as U. S. Marshall in the District of Columbia from 1877 to 1881. In 1889 President Harrison appointed him minister to Hayti, and the Haytian government made him a commissioner to the Columbian Exposition. Aside from all of these activities Douglas was an author of no mean ability, and two of his most illustrious contributions were: "My Bondage and My Freedom," and "Narrative of my Experience in Slavery." As an orator this black man who made his way up from slavery was unequalled. And unlike the average he was unselfish. In spite of the fact that he could have found safety and happiness in Canada or England—Douglas was not content to gain alone his own freedom. When he was in the height of his own glory he never ceased to hear the groans of his less fortunate brothers and sisters who were still bound in the chains of chattel slavery. As time moves on the glory of this man's character who was once a slave brightens with the years. We have measured him with the other men of his time and find that he stands head and shoulders above them all. So we place him against the wall of time beside the martyred Lincoln and the halo about Douglas' head shines as brightly as the one that adorns Lincoln—and while on Lincoln's face there are lines of suffering for those who suffered, on Douglas' these lines are overshadowed by the smile of a conqueror. Booker T. Washington, Jr., another race man, has been humiliated by the citizens of Sierra Maedra who protested against him and family buying property on one of their main streets. We admire the stand Mr. Washington took—showing the superior qualities between the contending parties. Perhaps these conditions could be eradicated if the white people would come to the fact that, of the two, they show the inferior part of humanity by their ignorance of the race problem and progress of other races. They have only studied their own history and are as ignorant as sin of the others who constitute four-fifths the population of the world. It is rather amusing to us as to what some of these Southern Negro-haters think of us anyway. If they could keep us in the swamps and make us live in huts, huddled together like cattle as they do in some parts of the South, then they would feel that they are our "masters and superiors." But thank God, out in Sunny California, the Black man can be what he wants to be: own all the property he is able to buy and become a useful, law-abiding citizen, as he so desires. walls and murkers"—see 20:1. A wall is an elevation of any sort of material that may be available or obtainable, which elevation is to protect the place, or whatever is therein from danger or discomfort. All the ancient cities were walled. This because toes were many and treacherous, and dangerous wild beasts were numerous in the wildernesses that were not far away from the cities. II Kings 2. They who did not live perpetually behind the walls lived near enough to die to them in time of danger. Jer. 35. Walls are therefore a refuge. Romulus and Remus built walls to Rome. The walls of Babylon said by some to have been twenty miles east and west, and the same north and south and high and thick enough to be accounted impregnable. Therefore Beshazzar felt himself secure and grew the more haughty and secreglous as the foo beleaguered the city. But he had not counted on the fact that the enemy might change the channel of the river and come in under the gates that spanned the mighty Euphrates. Jerusalem was walled, and tho a number of times these walls were always repaired and replaced. Even Paris and London were once walled cities. The Chinese about 246-202 B. C. built a wall between them and the Mongols, 1260 miles long, every brick of which is said to have cost a human life. None of these walls afforded adequate and lasting protection. They all at length failed of their purposes. So God, in His great love for man promised to give the world salvation to take the place of walls and bulwarks. A bulwark was made of logs, stumps, or trees from behind which men fought. God designed to give the world a salvation thru Jesus Christ which would dispense with these things. Has He done so? After twenty-seven hundred years what do we see? Great cities sprawl themselves all over the landscape and do not think of walls. "Within our gates" has only a figurative meaning, a poetic application. Such has been the power of gospel ligh and the strength of the sale of the church that only in heathen lands do cities require walls; and even there they ar more or less being dispensed with. Salvation is given instead. Despite the hypocrisy, the covetousness, the hatred, the lust, the banditry, legal and illegal that seem to run rampant, things are better than they were in a sense; for cities no longer require walls. Salvation has taken the place thereof. Now as to those who have come to know this salvation, no one needs judge or jury or policeman or sheerist to keep them from injuring their fellows. They have salvation. It is their wall of protection. It is also their wall of restraint. They have learned the power of God. They have the wisdom of God. I Cor. 2. They understand the beauty of holiness and the advantage of righteousness. They have the the Christ hope, the Christ mind, the Christ vision, the faith of Christ. They love a holy God. They love, too, their fellowmen; Salvation to them has taken the place of walls and bulwarks. And being by divine arrangement, kings and priests unto God their prayers and their preaching and their testimony and their holy song restrain the world more than they know and even more than the world knows But they who have it know enough to praise God for salvation. What is man without it without its holy power and sacred influence? A treacherous savage, an oppressive beast, an unhappy subject of a burdened existence. - Thank God for salvation thru Jesus Christ. Have you got it? Do you know its assurance, its joy and its power? We all may, both now and eternally. Amen. CHRIST TEMPLE CHURCH C. P. Jones Cor. 37th and Naomi Sts.

I consider that it would be a great step of the traffic authorities could only put in force a plan to make every one signal properly, as this one very particular duty of every motorist seems so very much overlooked. Quite often a gentleman driving and smoking will throw off ashes from his cigar or cigarette and goes thru the same movements as when signaling for a left and turn. Again when some people are so very enthused in conversation they make all kinds of movements with their hand that appear to be signals for certain changes of their course. Some people depend wholly on their electric signalling devices when quite often they are out of order, while at the same time others see both hand and electric signal and fail to obey. To my idea these conditions need a remedy if Los Angeles is to have its bit of accidents reduced. WILLIS L. GREEN, 1551 E 49th Street. Los Angeles. EXHAUST F. L. Woods, our prominent realtor and financier who has been confined to his home for several weeks surprised his business associates by driving up to his office in a brand new Lincoln limousine this week. Mr. Norman Houston, prominent insurance broker, was slightly embarrassed last Tuesday when one of his tires blew up. Fortunately, no one was hurt. The Elite Taxi Company has no equal when it comes to service. Try them. S. P. Johnson, our fraternal genius, much to our surprise, passed us the other day driving an Essex coupe. He was accompanied by a broad smile. Floating on Air! John F. Palmer, inventor of the Cord Tire, Patented in 1833; consulting Engineer of Hewitt Rubber Company, Buffalo, N. Y. The awakening of the public to the advantages of Balloon tires has created a demand broadening and increasing in force each day that passes. The automobile manufacturer, with his ear to the ground for the voice of his public, is making all speed possible to meet a demand created almost over night. The tire manufacturer, with equipment for tires of standard sizes and construction, is confronted with a demand for tires of balloon type available for use on the millions of automobiles now in use and in the showrooms of dealers. It would have been better for all concerned if the change to low pressure tires had come about in a more orderly manner as it will take time and experience in the hands of the user to finally settle on the best expression of this new old idea. The writer has advocated and labored for the adoption of this idea for a great many years and until the Hewitt Rubbber Company took it up, had small encouragement principally because the public mind was not yet educated to demand super-service, comfort, and safety to be had only in what has now been developed and cirsitated BALLOON TIRES. Pneumatic tires are the one thing that has made modern passenger automobile possible, and that we do not have all the cushioning possible through their use today is due to the fact that all through the years following the inception of the cord tire there had to be tremendous development in materials, processes and appliances to bring the tire to a point of development where it would give the phenomenal service had today. It is a wonderful thing that a structure of cotton and rubber can, and does, carry at all speeds, vehicles weigling thousands of pounds for a number of miles beyond the wildest dream of the day when manufacturers, limited their guarantee to, 3500 miles and were content to set aside a liberal portion of their profits to take care of such of their tires a stalled to give this much needed service. The demand of the public was, of course, first for service as measured in tire miles and that at the lowest cost possible. This established a practice of using the smallest tire that would get by. Added to this was the demand of automobile manufacturers for the cheapest tire they woud accept as original equipment. This also spelled smaller tires. Small tires and heavy vehicles necessitated high air pressure to carry the load; hence, the fundamental characteristic of enu- matic tires, cushioning, was relegated to the background and major developments were wholly in the line of service for low cost until today the automobile owner who does not get upwards of ten thousand miles from a tire is apt to carry it back as defective and demand cautions in price on a new tire. Today the public and tire manufacturers alike are awakening to the fact that it is n absurdity to use a vehicle weighing thousands of pounds to carry a live load of from two to seven people. Thus, we have again turned to the original idea and the demand is—why cannot we have better cushioning in our tires. Vehicles should be lighter and more comfort in riding should be bad by the user. Everything has been done in the way of springs and it is now up to the tire people to give the better tires. the answer is BALLOON TIRES and if the automobile manufacturers develop a car along the same lines we shall in a few years have a more reasonable, sane and satisfactory combination of tire and car that will give a quality of comfort and an upkeep expense, otherwise impossible of achievement. Get into a flyover equipped with four inch thin-walled tires at twenty-five pounds pressure and you will be surprised at the tremendous increase in comfort and road grip As cars go heavier, increase the size of your tires. In each you will find the same contribution of lower expense in the way of repairs as; by reason of the fuel that the air pressure in your tires is the measure of the pounding received from road inequalities and also the frequency of your visits to the repair shop the new old idea in tires will return dividends in comfort and durability never before had. You will roll along over building rock or cobble stones and scarcely know it. Rattling in your car will not develop to the same extent and finally, your gasoline consumption will not be measureably increased, nor will the tires cost you very much more than those you are accustomed to using. What does it matter if the initial cost be a little more; what would it matter if you used a little more gasoline; automobiles are not a utilitarian transportation agent, and once you have tried out Balloon tires you will be content with no other equipment on your car. Some say that Balloon tires steer harder. Perhaps some of then do at slow speed, but it is wholly a matter of design and, if present, it can be eliminated. I would counsel you not to expect absolute perfection today. We have had twenty-five years of development in the present tire at an expenditure of billions of dollars and while the major portion of the tools, materials and processes used in the tires of today are available in Balloon tire manufacture, it should require but a short period to determine where details in manufacture and application could be improved. Personally, I have been experimenting for a number of years at te factory of the fewitt Company, in Buffalo and we have achieved to as near perfection as practice has permitted. Doubtless, minor changes will be made but there is no major objection or criticism known today of the large low pressure fire that in our opinion we have not overcome. The final test of course, is years of service in the hands of the user without, which no tire can be developed to its final form as only by continued public cuse under all character of service under the management of children, adults, truck drivers and bankers, the race driver and on the aristocratic limousine can final judgment be pronounced. The Balloon tire is here to stay and its development a foregone conclusion to the last word, if the public demands it, as they surely will after a trial of its merits, then manufacturers will furnish them, for you a consummation helpful, alike physically and financially. Mr. Joe Hardeman, who has the only shoe shining parlor on wheels, is half way considering equipping another Ford. F. M. Westhimer and wife still have the Paige that has attracted so much attention. Jack Holt has disposed of his chummy roadster and at present is without a car making the accumulation of enough dough to purchase a new Cad. Mr. and Mrs. George Neimore journeyed to the beach Sunday with a party of friends. Mr. F. L. Banks of the Eastside Realty Company, accompanied by his family made a trip to Fish Canyon in Ridge Route in his Auburn Beauty Six on last Sunday. Jack rabbits and fish were distributed to his friends on their return. J. U. Barefield on his way home last Saturday evening, after receiving a severe whist trimming, was so affected that he attempted to climb a telegraph pole with his Paige. His partner, Ellis Cook, finally succeeded in persuading him to desist in his attempt and they both landed home safe. Take a taxi next time, Mr. Barefield.

Recently George E. Brower, a lawyer and all around sportsman, was appointed chairman of the commission and Muldoon with James A. Farley, are just lay members with little executive power. The pugilistic world has been shaky as to the status of the game under its new head but was suddenly put at ease last week when Chairman Bower outlined his program. "Brower is glad to get on the job, even thou there is no salary attached. With Muldoon and Brower as a majority vote it's a dead certainty that these grapevine reports of "something wrong" on the Boxing Commission will get scant heed and sparse circulation. The integrity of both men is above suspicion, and, on top of that both are said to be smart enough to realize that everybody in fighting is not to be taken for granted. There's a lot of skill and druggery going on behind their backs and they mean to have this eliminated. One point Brower makes that is interesting as well as emphatic is the question of mixed matches. For three years the status of Harry Wills has been a mooted question. In cold turkey analysis there were to be no mixed matches when championships were involved." On this point Brower said: "The constitution under which boxing returned to New York and legally recognizes no sect, creed nor racial lines. I must uphold this in act and performance. I mean to do so. Willie will NOT be barred from championship matches and is perfectly acceptable as a challenger. "In Willis case, however, he must prove his fitness as a challenger for Dempsey by taking on others. He must PROVE himself worthy of a championship match by fighting with his fists, not through the newspaper columns where his conversation overshadow his lack of performance." "Can't quarrel with Brower on that stand. And if Mr. Brower and Mr. Mulroden will chase the gamblers and make the weighing in of fighters a matter of public record, as the law provides, all may yet be well with New York's pugilism. Right now New York's pugilism means the Nation's." California prides herself on the fact that she has the largest registration of Motor vehicles in the United States and in the world. Los Angeles County has the greatest part of that registration, BUT Los Angeles County and particularly the city of Los Angeles has had more accidents than and other city of its size and larger in the United States. WHY? It is the only state in the whole United States with such a large registration of motor vehicles that required no examination before permitting a person to operate a motor vehicle on the public highways. One thing that would cut out accidents at least (conservatively estimated, 25 per cent), would be to require every person who intends to operate a motor vehicle upon the highways of the state to undergo a rigid examination such as are required in the States of Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Michigan and others. "There are hundreds of people who are operating motor vehicles on the streets and highways of the city and state who, if they had to undergo a rigid test or examination would not be allowed to drive at all.

This time a community theatre, where Negro talent will receive due consideration, and impartial recognition. Perhaps this is the most gigantic movement made directly in the interest of race artists, and the phase of it that is most interesting to Angelenos is the fact that our very own Mrs. Eloise Bibb Thompson is an important member of the staff.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES By William Narcisse The interclass track meet at Jefferson was held last week at which time many race lads participated. The 100 yar dddash was won by Williams, alias Tack or Spark Plug, Harrison pulled down third place; in the half mile, Martin was second and Gresham third; 220 yard Hawkins second; 440 yard run, Jackson, second; High jump, Hawkins and Manson finished first and second; shot put, Bisco and Manson, first and second respectively. Interclass meets are open only to novices, boys who have not earned a letter. The purpose of these meets is to secure and develop varsity material. If a mediocre athlete does fairly well or shows some promise of becoming useful to the tract team, he is kept under the surveillance of the coach. With the coach's help and some good, hard, and earnest training, the boy who was once mediocre, can become a point winner. Tommy Myles, captain of the Roosevelt High track team, won the 100 and 220 yard dashes against San Pedro High School. Thursday. Jefferson's track team defeated the Downey High tracksters 73-40, last Tuesday on the latter's oval. Blaco won the discus with a heave of 103 ft. 10 in.; Woodyard won the century with Harrison a good second; half mile, Gresham second, Markham third Levy second, and Smith third in the 220 yard dash; Harrison placed second in the 440 yd. run; Davis was third in the broad jump; and Tiny Prayer copped second in the shot put. The relay was won by Jeff. Levy, Williams, and Woodyard and a white boy composed the relay team. The Hi Y conducts the annual "Find Yourself" campaign February 12nd. This campaign is one of the most important activities of the club. The purpose of this campaign is to start the high school boy in the right direction towards his life's work. After the boy fills out the self analysis blank, he is interviewed by some one who is ancaby interested in his line of endeavor. Assemblyman Fred Roberts delivers the address of the evening, his subject is "Life Preparation." The Pioneers were favored with an address by Prof. P. H. Moss. Field Secretary of religious Education. His subject was based on Physical efficiency, which was enjoyed exceedingly by the pioneers. The Pioneers club meets at 5:30 p. m. at the Y. M. C. A. every Tuesday. All boys between the ages of 9 and 15 years are eligible for membership. DANNY EDWARD LOSES TO GOLDSTEIN IN NEW YORK Little Danny Edwards, the best race bantom weight developed on the coast since the days of Bubbles Rob inson was defeated in a ten round bout with Abe Goldstein last Thursday night at the Pioneer Club, New York, which strengthens Abe's and weakens Danny's chance of a crash at Champion Joe Lynch. Edwards has lost five and drawn six and won fourteen battles during his two years of Eastern campaigning. IN THE MUSIC WORLD By John A. Gray Now that Los Angeles is going to have an Opera Company of its own, and that it will be equal to the New York and Chicago Companies, we ought to feel proud that our city is moving up to the ranks of the other great musical centers of the country. This means greater opportunity for the musical student, especially those of our race. With a permanent orchestra and symphony all other things will easily follow. Schools, colleges and teachers will grow naturally in order to meet the demand. Perhaps the greatest help that any student can have is the chance of hearing fine music sung or performed by great artists. It is worth a dozen lessons from a teacher. With all these opportunities right at our door we should produce some very worth while singers and players within the next decade. Yet if we measure the future by the past, the outlook will not be very encouraging. Take New York and Chicago for example. These two great centers of culture have not given us the race musicians that they might have given, if our boys and girls had made the most of every opportunity afforded them. But the worst part is that the community at large is not musical. New York with its great colored population is not musical as Los Angeles with its small population. We mean that Negro schools, teachers and performers of the higher sort are not supported in the manner that they should be. Music as an art is not on a level with the theatre and drama, etc., that one finds in that city. The race seems to profit little from the culture and advantages around it. Why should not Los Angeles produce, within the next ten years, at least one singer of the calibre of Roland Hayes, one pianist of the calibre of Hazel Harrison, and a host of artists of lesser attainments? The opportunities are here, the young people simply have to grasp them. There is a real future in music for the boy or girl. Great artists earn from two hundred and fifty dollars to one thousand dollars or more for a single recital. But to be a great artist one must begin when young. A virtuoso technique on the piano or violin is difficult to obtain after one has reached the age of seventeen or eighteen. A singer must know music, should know how to play the piano, and must know several languages besides having a good general education inorder to become a great artist. Now is the time to start while the body and mind are young. Parents you are justified now in sacrificing in order to give your boy or girl a musical career. Don't fall to grasp these wonderful chances right at your door. CALIOFNIA POPPY ART AND SOCIAL CLUB The California Poppy Art and Social Club met at the residence of Mrs. Suriela Houston for their weekly meeting, 3244 E 34th Street, under the anneaux of our art instructor, Mrs. Elizabeth Houston. The club is programming on their music show. All of us have tickets for the show here. A few Sundays ago, while listening to a very fine program at the N. A. A. C. P. A. conducted by the Federated Women's Clubs this joke concerning the monkey was related by a certain gentleman. He stated that a certain engineer had, in the past, carried with him a pet monkey on his runs who observed all of his master's actions in working his engine. One day the engineer stopped at a nearby eating house leaving his pet monkey in his cab. While alone, the monkey thought he would try running the engine, so he threw open the throttle and away went the engine at top speed. When the engineer returned all he saw was smoke and dust, so he stepped in the telegraph office and telegraphed ahead saying, "Clear the track for the monkey is on the main line." As the different questions of how the Negro could be helped to be a better citizen and how he could best serve as a blessing instead of a curse. For this condition of which I am about to speak is one of the great drawbacks of Los Angeles, a dastardly act which is capable of destroying unconsciously more young people than any one act which one part of our group can inflict upon the other and it is, unpissishness, snobishness, and self-conceit. And at this meeting there was also being discussed an article in the Daily Times concerning some segregation idea of some one of the other group. But I could not voice my sentiments in the matters discussed because I too, am a stranger in my midst, only having lived here one and a half years. But I can say this much for your fair city, the climate is ideal, the Colored man is thrifty, business among you here seems to compare favorably with any city which I have visited and I have visited and I have met many good Christian people here but I have also found in your midst that green-eyed monster of jealousy, envy and hate in the wake of which travels that evonious idea of big "I" and little "u"—"no one is quite as good as I am." Stop and think awhile, the stranger may be as good as you are, or better. God says, "Be careful of the stranger within your gates lest you entertain the Master in disgust. I speak from experience not only for myself but for many others. In your midst there are a high opinioned few who seem to think they should be honored and looked up to. Some no doubt own homes, some automobiles and a few small bank accounts, some higher education and some paying positions which they seem to think places them on such a high plain that the rest of us should bow our heads in recognition of their greatness. Great is as great does. I may be poor, I may be ugly and curved as it were by poverty but if I have character though I may be a stranger, I too, am great in the sight of God. I do not believe that we should take into our homes every stranger that comes to town and make a social pet of them without first finding out who they are but we can welcome them into our churches and religious organizations and make them feel at home until such time as they have proven themselves unworthy. I attended a religious meeting and was received very graciously of which I felt very grateful because I too was of the same faith. On going a second time with the intention of placing my membership with said organization I was met with that high headedness of having to be introduced anew apparently no one had ever met me before. I was a stranger, a poor widow woman. So I was not worth recognition. With sad heart I went home and paid them no more visits. It is just such actions that turn many a young woman to shame and destruction, and yet, no doubt, she has been all of her days in the best society in her home but having for some reason to come here unacquainted and having no one to introduce her has been scorned and been looked down upon in such manner that she finally makes up her mind not to bother these self-styled upper-class but go where she will be treated kindly and that is the class which is always waiting to welcome and drag her down. For myself I ask no favors of Los Angeles as I am preparing to return to my home in the Mid-West where we teach all men up and no men down but I am pleading for those who have to remain among you, be charitable to them and as you climb the ladder of success encourage your brother to do Ihkewale. Aim high and not low and if you find among you anything that is sick with self contest do not call in the elders of the church to lay hands upon them but rather call in the greatest doctor of the universe "Doctor Common Sense" and he will aid them to clear away the rubbish of conceit from the tracks of intelligence and thereby keep the monkey from getting control of the main line.

STOKES Dr. A. J. Stokes, Peerless Pulpiteer, Matchless Orator, and for forty years the untrammelled leader of the race, comes to the pastorate of the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church, this city. The Mt. Zion Baptist Church in particular, and the Baptists in general, have a cause for great rejoicing. For in the coming of Dr. Stokes into our midst, we have a ripe scholar, an experienced leader in the practice and polity of the church such as in but few others. Dr. Stokes has been honored with every office in the gift of the National Baptist Convention. He is now the treasurer, and has been for a quarter of a century. Though a sexogenarian, he is the youngest, as well as the noblest Roman of them all. Dr. Stokes was a lifelong friend of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and was his private councilor in critical times, while building up the great Tuskegee Institute. Major Robert Russa Moton, head of Tuskegee, recognized the wisdom of Dr. Stokes, and had him elected to the board of trustees of the school. Dr. Stkes leaves one of the greatest churches in the South. Its membership is more than 5,000. Most of whom he added while in the pastorate or forty years. The Doctor is said to be one of the few Negro ministers who are wealthy. This is stating it mildly. Through spending most of his time in the South among the prejudiced whites, still that unconquerable spirit and indomitable will have never been swerved from the highest interest of the people whom he served and successfully led, and this has endeared him to both races.
