ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE VOLUME 37 Eag NAT'L. NEGRO PRESS CHICAGO HONORS NOTABLE TESTIMONY HONORING CALIFORNIA EA NATL. NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION CHICAGO HONORS GOLDEN WEST ```markdown ``` TELEPHONE: 829-244 (Special by N. N. Press Association) Chicago, Ill., March 1.—Transforming the stern order of the famed Horace Greeley to the youth of a heftier day, to "go. West," Joseph Blackburn, Bass, Editor of the California Eagle, opened his broad arms and begged the people of the Middlewest to come still further West in a brilliant address delivered at a banquet in his honor held in the famous Appomattoch Club and of which Melvin J. Chism was the host. Leading members of the local press fraternity were guests at the banquet. Mr. Bass set all queries as to why he had come to Chicago at rest when he told his hearers in a few words that out in his home, California, they regarded Chicago as the Negro Capitol of the world and that he had come here to beg that the influence of the leaders of such a great city be used to persuade Negroes to come to California and grow. The California editor explained the situation: "They have put the law after the Japs. They can't land. They are coming off the farms. They have supplied the Los Angeles produce market, one of the greatest in the world, with $17,000,000 worth of produce annually. The law is driving them out. Somebody has got to take their places. Why not Negroes?" Robert S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender, was Toastmaster. Other speakers were Joseph D. Bibb, editor of the Chicago Whip: A. L. Jackson, contributing editor of the Defender; N. D. Brascher and Claude A. Barrett of the Associated Negro Press. Mr. Chism who was host to both newsletters of the Chicago Bees explained that all his spare money, that men as a rule use at cards or other forms of pleasure, is spent in pursuing his hobby of seeing hat newspaper men get something good to eat. One of the significant features of the dinner was the tribute paid by the speakers to the effectiveness and value of women as workers for the Negro Press. The souvenir programs furnished by the distinguished host, Mr. Melvin Chism were indeed a work of art and genius and were surely worthy of the notable occasion.

Booker was born in San Antonio, Texas, attended schools of San Francisco, Albquogue, Colorado Springs, Denver, and Prairie View, Texas. Was assistant to Dr. Schusto, surgeon of American Smelting and Refining Company, attended Northwestern University, Chicago, Supt. of Provident Hospital, St. Louis, then took a post graduate course in London and Paris. Practiced in Des Molines fourteen years, when he taught two years at Drake University Medical school. He served in the World's War with the 365th Infantry. The City Hospital, Des Moines, says: "He has been a member of our hospital staff on the medical and surgical service. We have the utmost confidence in Dr. Booker's ability. His service has always been highly satisfactory." The Methodist Hospital: "Dr. Booker has been a member of our staff for years. Our contact with Dr. Booker in the conduct of his professional work has been a most intimate one. He is a most ethical practicing physician." Mary Hospital: "He has worked at our surgical for a number of years. During that time he has given proof of his ability as a very capable surgeon. He has always been willing, courteous and faithful, and we can recommend him to any one." Polk County Medical Society: "We regret very much to have the doctor leave us, as he was willing to do his part, to a member for the good of the society. He is ethical and is considered one of our most influential members." Iowa State Ilystander: "Dr. Booker is an unusual student of his profession, having studied abroad and made a special study of surgery. He came her fourteen years ago and built up a large practice, having devoted much of his work to surgery for which he has proven particularly fitted. It is to be regretted that Dr. Booker leaves Des Moines. No community can well afford to lose a man of his caliber. Two few people appreciated his ability until his mind was made up to weave. We shall miss him sordy." A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 7, 1924 Colored Infants Fight Oppression By William Pickens For The Associated Negro Press The beautiful black, brown and brunette babies battle the beast of race prejudice. We have always heard that one can do more with the young generation than with the old, and so we concluded that if there be any virtue in the youngness of the generation, we would employ the services of the youngest generation of all, the babies. And surprisingly enough the Brown Babies of Dayton, Ohio, are making a bigger fight against lynching and segregation than the older Brownies he ever yet made. Fourteen Babies, of Dayton, ranging in ages from t few days to only three years, have at the same time brought about more cooperation among the older folk of Dayton than those older folk have ever known before. When we visited Dayton four weeks previously, there was so much dividedness among the grown-ups Brown, that we were seriously considering writing Mr. Bok to lend us one hundred thousand dollars for an inter-colored Peace Plan in that town. But after organizing a Baby Contest, we find that a Baby is better than a Bok in their gs'o amZZZ better than a Bok. In their four weeks' contest, these babies have exhibited some admirable qualities which we are recommending that the older folk try to "inherit" and "take after". For example: The babies have not been egotistic or conceived: Not a single Baby entered the contest thinking that he or she would just naturally have to win, unless the managers or judges were crooked. They have not been selfish or snobish: Not a single Baby but was perfectly willing to enter the contest the moment it was called to his attention, and not one was heard to remark "I would take part of that Old Baby So-and-So wasn't in it, I can't put myself down wit that crowd." They are not clannish or "stuck up"; The more well-to-do Babies welcomed even the poorest Babies into the contest. "My set" had no meaning for them. They are good sports: No Baby really worried lest some other Baby win the prize, and no one cried and pined or cried and whined because he missed the prize. There was no instigation, one against the other, and when the hotly contested struggle was over, nobody said: "Well, I don't see how she ever got a prize!" They are brave, frank, open, "above board"; Some carried banners, reading: "A vote for Me is a Vote against Lynching", or "I am working for the N. A. A. C. P.-You work for me, and other such unapologetic declarations. And there was no graft: Not a single cent went into any Baby pocket, except the three cash prizes. And when Urbana and Springfield Babies heard what Dayton Babies were doing, they did not say: "That's nothing. We don't want to imitate that Dayton crowd". But they said: "That's good! Show us how. We want to do it too." God, give us more babies, even if you must make room for them by sending more of the Old Folks to—Heaven! Miss Hallie Q.

N. I. A. Hall at 1034 E. Adams St. Prof. Lawson is proving to us that the natives are not as uncivilized as has been said. In the mean time the Professor is trying to take back with him some real men and women of trade for manufacturing in Africa, as there is everywhere in Africa, but the natives are unable to turn their products into money. Prof. Lawson will be in our city until June and quite a number of our race have prepared themselves to go over to our "Homeland" and do some real work. Come over to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and hear the speaker from afar. Much good is being done among them. AFRICA IS HELD LAST 'GREAT WEST' ON EARTH (By the United Press) LOS ANGELES Feb. 25. "Africa will be the last great west," said Oscar W. Meeker of London, writer and globe trotter. When the tide of migration moves to the end of the present west, said Meeker, it will jump across Asia and Western Europe to the shores of Africa. "There it will find richness beyond the fondest expectations; a beauty no man can accurately describe; belay breezes trailing with them the scent of virgin forests and the warm intimacy of the island A HOMELESS CHILD KNOCKS AT THE DOOR seas; rivers that murmur the chant of the tropics; all in all, a land far cooler and far more pleasant than people elsewhere think" was Meeker's description. Verdict of Guilty is Returned in Race Fight Case Visalia (Tulare Co.), Feb. 27.—It took a jury in Superior Judge J. A. Allen's court just fifteen minutes yesterday to find Frank Tilly of Portersfield, colored, guilty of assault with intent to commit murder upon R. G. Stewart, Judge Allen will pass sentence Saturday. The offense occurred at Porterville last November. Stewart, who is from Texas, had been attending a motion picture theatre. Coming out, he remarked to a companion, white people and Negroes attend the same show out here." The remark was overheard by a colored woman who took exception to it and berated Stewart. Tilly, a husky bricklayer, took up the argument and, according to testimony introduced at the trial, struck Stewart with a heavy hammer. The blow was aimed at the head, but Stewart, ducking, averted very serious injury. Tilly has against him a prior conviction for assault. In 1921 he pleaded guilty and was admitted to probation.

SOUTH STILL IN SADDLE For The Associated Negro Press In our study of the "American Commonwealth" by James Bryce, we gleaned that curs was a system of parties where the life of the party depended on loyalty of the units to party leadership and to party principle. No such rule is being followed by Republicans, of today. There are at present in the party, notably in the Senate, a handful of wilful men calling themselves Republicans who are a disgrace to the party. They seem most pleased when they embarrass the party. They go the Democrats one better by their treachery to the principles of Republicanism. We. Republicans, cannot understand why real Republican Senators are seeking to outlalt Attorney General Dougherty when nothing has been proven or even shown against him: they have not even made out a primacile case. Mr. Dougherty has made more important appointments of Negroes than any Attorney General before in the history of the United States. We, Republicans, cannot understand why these same Republican Senators, when they were in the minority, and even while they have been in the majority, have not brought to light some of the wrong doings of the Democrat which everyone knew well on in wholesale fashion during the Wilson administration. It seems that they have been asleep and have been outgeneralized by the Democrat in party. They have allowed the best-mouthed, skeptical northernmen to put them in the foreground and enslave their own people with respect to稚稚 people even though the world itself is in the foreground. We should not be so blinded by the wrong doings of the Democrat in party. We have now begun the first build these pretty Spelling Hallways, Apart and all of the amenities. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Brown and daughter Mary Louise Brown, gave a dinner Friday evening in honor of Miss Jelly Isaac, of Chicago, Ill, and Miss Zena Isaac of Northern California. Plates were held for us, after which games and sanding were enjoyed to a late hour. We have now begun our first build, these pretty Spelling Hallways, Apart and all of the amenities.

Little Robert deJarnette, three-year old son of Stanley deJarnette, passed away Tuesday evening, following a fatal attack of spinal meningitis. The baby's mother passed away a month ago, after a lingering illness. Mrs. Aurelia Williams was hit by a truck last Saturday afternoon. She was seriously hurt. Information has reached The California Eagle that a legally authorized Building and Loan Association has been formed and chartered by the State of California. It is sponsored by a group of local business and professional men whose support should mean its immediate success. Such a Building and Loan Association has been our local need for the past few years. The United States Government through its Housing Commission after two years investigation, stated that the only solution of the housing problem seemed to be through the local Building and Loan Association plan. This plan had its origin over a century ago in Scotland. Today, in this country there are over 10,000 Associations with more than 6,000,000 members. Many of our own people have received their start in life through the Building and Loan Plan. The object of these associations is to encourage systematic savings and to help finance home building and home owning among its members. The rain beginning on last Saturday night and lasting throughout Sunday in Monrovia, was one of God's most choiceful blessings to the people of this city and surrounding communities. Mr. and Mrs. Satterfield recently here from Richmond, Indiana, have bought a very fine piece of property on South California St. Mr. J. A. W. Fisher one of Monrovia's colored pioneers, has returned to this city after four years' sojourn in the Imperial Valley. Mr. Fisher owns quite a bit of valuable property in this progressive city. The young people of the Verick Christian Endeaver of the Zion Methodist Church, took a hike to Mourvoux Canyon last Saturday and from there to the falls. They were chaperoned by Mmes. Reed, Tillman and Adams. All reported having a good time except the chaperons, who, of course much younger, (?)th their charges returned long faced, limping, footsore and weary. They were compelled to stop on the way and call a taxi obing them home, where they found the limiment bottle, rubbed their sore and tired limbs and went to bed. The young people silently said, "We guess they will stop trying to keep up with us after this!" We understand that somebody is "gum-shooting" around in Monrovia slyly inquiring of the colored people as to their political affiliation and use the names of those who have them as cats pass in "hill chimpanzee" out of the fire for some political aspirant, without the knowledge of the persons whose nature we need! They are trying to leave the impression that they are apologists or women for Monrovia, and it seems they are fooling some of the people in Los Angeles. The Otro-American League and Coolidge club represent the Colored people of Monrovia. Fine service at both churches, Sunday. The weather was inclement but good crowds attended the meetings.

Call: 222 MALE AVENUE IN THE REALM OF SOCIETY One of the most beautiful, and simplest weddings was witnessed at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church Saturday evening, February 3rd, when Brother John Leahley gave his daughter, Catherine to his. Thomas Smith, in holy matrimony, Virginia Breashe was the flower girl, Mrs. Isabella Breashe was brides maid and Mr. James Langley best man. Just about six minutes of eight o'clock, Miss Jane Brown came forward and sang as sweetly as a mocking bird, the song entitled, "Somewhere a Voice Is Calling," and at 8 o'clock sharp the wedding march was played by Misa Guena King, and the bride and groom, with the bridal party marched to the altar. Rey. P. R. Robinson, former pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, performed the ceremony. Many useful and beautiful presents were given to the young couple by their friends, who wish them many happy years of wedded life. They reside at 1621 C street. This has been a season of beautiful social affairs but none has been more beautiful or delightful than the luncheon given by Mrs. Leon Wilson at her palatial residence 116 S. Nondale Ave. Saturday, March 1st. Thirty-seven charmingly gowned ladies were seated at 3 tables arranged in his living room. A beautiful centerpiece of choice Spring flowers graced each table and places were marked, by dainty hand-made cards and corsages of volleys and jonquils.

Robinson of Omaha, Nebraska. Words are inadequate to describe the richness and beauty of the table over which lung an oval-shaped canopy artistically covered with fancy cut pink crepe paper and real Cherry blossoms; in the four circular corners of the canopy were golden corpus copia baskets, filled with fresh flowers. In the center of the table stood a tall golden basket, filled to overflowing with pink carnations; cherry blossoms; lilies of the valley; hyacinths; cecil brunner roses; malden hair fern and pink tulle, that reached from the center of the canopy to each hand-painted place card below. Favors of every description marked places for eighteen including Easter bonnets and corsages for the ladies; bright colored hats and boutoniers for the men. Little butterflies beautifully graced the tumblers and flowers, that completely covered the table leaving the least possible space for the exquisite boxes of mint and salted nuts.

Stokes, Peerless-Pulpiteer, Matchless Orator, and for forty years the untrammlered 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 sexonarian, he is the youngest, as well as the noblest Roman of them all. Dr. Stokes was a life-long friend of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and was his private censor 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. Much time has been spent on two separate occasions in Palestine, when he explored the land made sacred by the life and death of Jesus Christ. These trips have added, veneration, which is akin to the prophets. 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.

Geo. discusses Jazz and Synoopated music. He says, among other things: “But there is a’ distinct difference ‘between jazz musle and syncopated music, better known as ratime music. Jazz music is yeung in comparison with syncopated musie, and syncopat- ed music is aa old as, o: older than, our Negro meladies. This is , proof that jazz and syncopation are not the same, Snycopatad music is almost explained in its nume. In this kind ‘of music the accent is shifted from a regular strong beat Yo a weak or un- accented beat making the time seem Tagged. But jazz music is syncopat- eq music that hag become demorsl- ized by harsh and superfluous em: bellishments, ‘The more complex: the embellishments and the greater the varfety of brutish noises, the more pesfeect the music approaches jazz as a limit, All sustained tones are Tepugnantly coloreil, All pauses and rests are substituted for sharp and repulsive gdditions. Jazz music is saturated ma conéentrated to ita ul timate capacity. When made by\an orchestra the unharmonions, simul taneous jazzing of the cornet, violin, trombone, saxaphone, drums and xylophone converges. into a tuneless medley: time, not rhythm, only re: nts eie woe e : “‘Syncopated music cannot be just- ty condemmed;—it' fe mn: excellent phase of igh amusement: it relieves the fatigued mentality of an individ- ual as well ag stimulates, the rhyth- mic instinct with an airy and tuneful melody. Some technical musician may say that the rhythmic instinct can be thoroughly stimulated by the classic sonatas of Handel and the @ignified preludes’ of Bach, 1 most heartily agree that these classical compositions cannot be excelled in rhythm, but. their melodies and struc- ture are thoughtful and meaningful, ‘and will not be appreciated by the lay auditor. “waste not your energy in fighting jazz music. It is becoming very un- popular even among its own advo: cates, and will soon fade out. But see to it and command as much as is in your power, that syncopated music remain-pure. ‘Let us revere and res- pect the Negro melddies!

On the 26th day of August, 1262, the Secretary of War prdered him to proceed to the Department of the South and orgen- ize 5000 troops of “African Descent”, which were to be designated for ser- vice in garrisons not in danger of -at- tuck y"the enemy, to. relleve" white regiments wohse terms of enlistment had expired. 102, Who was Carney of Wagner? When the 54th Massachusettes Reg- tment, under command of Col. Sher stormed Fort Wagner, the regimental colors were entrusted to W. H. Cat ney, a young sergeant. As this gallant regiment ascended the wall-of the fort the ranks were full. but as they reached the top they melted ‘away before the enemy's fire almost instant ly: Carney received a severe wound in the thigh, but falling upon his knee he quichly planted the flag upon the parapet, and lay down on te outer slope for sholter. Carney with a death grip on the flagstaff held it erect for over.an hour and despite that he was later shot in the head held on until he was relieved by another officer. When he was being carried past a brigade of his comrades, on the way Yo the field hospital, he partly raised up\and cried, “Boys, the old flag never touthed the ground.” 108, What incident took place when\the first New Orleans Colored regiment received its flags? ‘The first Colored regiment raised in New Orleans; after remaining in camp for about six months were pulte efficient in\the use of arms.

Greggs, Pastor Last Sunday was another day that marked an epoch in the history of the People's Independent Church of Christ. It was the Seventh Anniversary of the church. A masterly sermon was delivered by the pastor, at the 11 o'clock hour, his subject being, "The Refiners' Purnace." The practical plions brought out were very exemplary of the life of the Christian Wayfarer, and a beautiful picture of the life of all the great. A free will offering of several hundred dollars was given by the magnificent and deliberative audience. In the evening, Dr. Greggs preached on the subject, "What Saves a Man." His wonderful discourse was spiritual food for that. Many coming events of marked interest, which will practically fill the church calendar, tells that all Auxiliaries of the church are very much alive. For live-wire activities mainly among the younger members of the church with the many out side friends visit the Sunday school, 9:30 a. m., Sunday Mornings, the Christian Endeavor Society 6:45 p. m., and the Young People's Lycum which meets the second and fourth Tuesday nights of the month. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH Holding its services in the Y.M.C.A. Cor. Ninth and Hemlock Sts. The rain somewhat interfered with our services, especially Sunday school. We had a good lesson which was gone over by Superintendent Dr. Evans. At the 11 o'clock service Dr. Prowd preached from Matt. 28:30. "Teaching them to observe all things." This was a wonderful subject. "The Four Men." (1) The Ruined Man. (2) The Restored Man. (3) The Godly Man. (4) The Fellow Man. All who head this wonderful discourse were greatly benefited and requested to hear it again, and at some future time it will be repeated. We carried out a good program at our B.Y.P.U. Meeting. Mrs. Foote, an excellent Missionary greatly inspired us by her talk on the lesson. Mr. L. H. Prowd again presented us with an excellent paper. We have special sermons this comming Sunday, and at night The Lord's supper will be observed. METROPOLITAN BAPSTIST CHURCH— 37th and Paloma Sts. M. C. Carter, Pastor Religious services were above the average Sunday paste. The pastor preached a plain practical sermon. Subject: "What Happens When a Man Becomes a Christian?" His text was taken from 2 Cor. 5:17: "Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature." The Spirit of God was prevalent throughout the services and continued until evening. At 3 p. m. it was quite marked when Covenant and the Lord's Supper which was changed from 7:30 p. m. to that hour, were held. Every true child of God could not help but witness to this fact. At the evening service the pastor preached a very instructive sermon. subject: "How to Pray." Many beautiful as well as helpful thoughts were brought out in this sermon. The pastor will fill the pulpit Sunday A. M. His subject will be "Does Christian Religion Really Satisfy?" At 3 p. m. Dr. Underwood and Choir of Phillips Chapel will be with us, while Rev. I. N. White will preach at 7:30 p. m. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Furlong Tract Rev. A. T. Hinzs, Pastor Last Sunday was a great day at First Baptist, the building itself seemed to be throbbing with life. The pastor filled the pulpit in the morning, preached for Dr. Brown at 3 o'clock and at home at night, preaching a sermon that stirred the flames in every breast. We regretted very much to have Sister E. Adams on the sick list as she is greatly missed when absent from our devotions. After the evening service however we carried to her the Lord's Supper and prayed for her, she was healed immediately. We left her rejoicing in the Lord. To our visiting ministers and friends we appreciate your worshiping with us especially those who follow us from time to time when our pastor preaches elsewhere. It is great encouragement to us. It makes us know that far beyond the pain and bruises of the real truth that is preached and taught here nightly there is an unconscious longing for the very thing you hear in testimony, songs, and sermons, keep coming. MARD CHAPEL A.M.E. CHURCH 102 Eas. 29th St. Rev. B. R. Guy, Pastor Last Sunday we general class and Sacrament Sunday at this church. The services were well attended although the weather was showery. The attendance was splendid at the morning services and the warming influence of the Holy Spirit was plply manifested. Four persons came and kudl for m prayer. The Sunday School was not large because of the rather morning times. We were well represented and the lessons were good. At ```markdown ``` night the pastor spoke from the text. Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man Cometh. One person joined. Next Sunday will be Trustee Day. Please bring fifty cents each for trustees' purposes. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C.M.E. CHURCH 1406, Newton, 8t Dr. R. W. Underwood, Pastor Sunday morning was a glorious morning with all who sat and listened to that eloquent sermon delivered by our paster. He gripped his hearers with a message that shall live with the people. The Sunday School was well attended. Brother E. B. Maxey knows how to grow a Sunday school. The Epworth League has put on new life, and is destined to do a great work for the advancement of Christ's Kingdom. Every member is asked to be present Sunday. Prof. R. M.

She is not asking for charity but she is giving out of the abundance that God has give her. May her tribe increase. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH Watts Last week was a delightful week at Phillips Chapel Watts, California. The pastor spoke each evening. Rev. Lewis, the Gospel Singer, sang his way into the hearts of the people. Eleven souls were added to the Kingdom and we all rejoiced in regard to our salvation. Sunday at 11 a.m. the pastor spoke on the subject "The Second Coming of Our Lord" and it was enjoyed by all. In the afternoon we worshiped at the First M. E. Church (white); a great crowd taxed every inch of space in the main auditorium to hear the National Singer. Rev. W. M. Lewis, who swept our souls away. After which the pastor was called on to repeat a statement made Friday evening by him concerning the unknown tongues of today, which he did with much emphasis to a mixed audience. Here is his statement: "I a-b-s-l-o-u-t-e-l-y do not believe that the unknown tongues of today are of God." He makes many friends and loses many. The revival closed Monday night, March 3, 1921. Rev. Lewis spoke on "Love. Loving and Lover" which was very helpful. He sang as never before. Some $65.00 was raised. The pastor will speak next Sunday morning at 11 a.m. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Cor. 14tn atn Birch St. Rev. J. W. Jacobs Pastor A warm welcome awaits you at every visit. We welcome all visitors and visitors are made to feel at home and among true friends as they enter the building, or are met anywhere upon the grounds of the church. We were very much delighted over all the program of the past week. Sunday school was very good. Regular preaching at 11 o'clock Sunday morning brought us a message from Gen. 6:14. "Go Build," as a text, showing the ark as a type of church of Christ. At 3 p. m. we again assembled at Watts Sunday School Mission and perfected the organization of a church of Christ and returned rejoicing. At 7 p. m., Y.P.S.C.led by Miss Gooch. The meeting was very interesting. "Stretch Forth Thy Hand." Wednesday the regular prayer meeting period gave way to Prof. P. H. Moss, who has been in our city for six weeks among the Sunday schools. He gave a great message. Thursday evening a grand reception was given in honor of Prof. Moss, and leaders of the race were present to honor the occasion. We invite you to come anytime to services. Sundays: 9:45 a. m. to 11 a. m.; 7 p. m. to 8 p. m. Wednesday 8 p. m. Fridays 7:30 p. m. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Eighth and San Julian Sts. A great treat is in store for those who worship with us this Sunday. In the morning the pastor will preach a great sermon on "What Should The Modern Church Do To Be Saved?" in the evening Rev. Dr. Woodby, one of the best historians of the race will deliver his famous sermon on "The Negro in History." If you miss these great treats it is your own fault. Sunday was a fine day in spite of the inclement weather. The pastor's sermons both morning and evening were very helpful and instructive. Mrs. Olive Norman recently of New York City, was the morning solitair. Wesley promises helpful services. We are so certain that our services will be helpful that we are willing to offer a prize to the person, who attends our services and goes away unhelped and uninspired by them. Even chronic complainers are invited to come and see. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE- GATIONAL CHURCH 34th St. and Central Ave. Rev. E. E. Lightner, Pastor In spite of the inclement weather the past Sunday two splendid services were held: At the morning service the pastor gave the closing message in a series on: "Some Questions of Jesus." The text for the morning was: "What, could ye not watch with me one hour?" Matt. 26:40. Following the sermon the mixed quartet sang: "Let Jesus come into your heart" very effectively. "Well doing" was the subject of the evening message. The Lord's Supper was administered at the close of both services. This Sunday, March 9th, the pastor will begin a series on: "The Teachings of Jesus," at the morning service. In the evening the Rev. Dr. J. N. Taft will be the speaker and his subject will be: "Why I believe in Prayer" or "What the Prayers of a little Girl did?" Special Music at both services. You are cordially inviaded to worship with us at all times. Our services last Sunday were good. Bible School up to standard. At 11 a.m. Elder P. H. Moss, one of the famous speakers and Bible School Workers, filled the pulpit and brought us an inspiring message. All were filled with the spirit and encouraged. May God bless him in his work of love, and we pray that he may live long to proclaim the Word of God. Our night services were fair. Our pastor. Elder F. C. Cothran, had a serious automobile accident on the way to church and could not be with us. We pray that he may be able to be with us on next Lord's Day. All ar welcome to come and work with us.

Special efforts are made by the leaders of both the Sunday School and the Y. P. S. C. E. to arrest the attention of the young people. Excellent showing both in interest and numbers has already been made. The special features of the C. E. Society at 6:45 are expressions from each one present and a message from some public spirited person. Last Sunday evening attorney McDowell was the speaker. He certainly brought the young people a message that will be remembered a long time: Subject: "Temptation". It was truly a fine effort. Next Sunday Soul winning sermons both morning and evening. At 10:00 a.m. a Sunday school that teaches. In the evening at 6:45 C. E. Society that thrills. Special speaker upon this occasion. All are welcome.

The pastor preached a strong sermon on the prosperity of the church and all went away relocating of their presence. CHRISTIANS FOLLOWERS OF THE APOSTLES "Brehren, be followers together of me, and work then which walk so as we have us for an ensample"—Phil. 3:17. Sometimes we encounter people who belltle the truths taught in the apostolic epistles. They make much of the Old Testament or parts thereof—"partial in the law," Malachi. 2:2—or they pretend to make much of the special words of Jesus, but belltle the words of the apostles. "That's Paul," say they; "That's Peter," that's John. But what did Jesus say? Jesus Spoke Thru The Apostles Now the real fact is that Jesus said whatever the apostles said. How do we know, what Jesus said anyway? He spoke, but never a word did he write. We know not nothing of what he said, except as the apostles told us. Under The Law Jesus was under the law. He could only speak as under the law. Gal. 3: 4. His human life was lived under the old covenant. He said this, however, of His disciples: "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth is come, He shall guide you into all (truth)." John 16:12-15. In Acts 1:5, we read that: "But ye shall receive power after that: the Holy Ghost is come upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto Me, both in Jerusalem and to the innermost part of the earth." The apologies were therefore filled with the Spirit of Christ and particularly prepared to proclaim with tongue and pen the Gospel of the New Covenant. The Prophetic Gospel The Old Testament was not the Gospel but law, Compare Exodus 34: 27, 28, with Heb. 4, and Ro. 10. Yet there was a gospel preacher under the old covenant, a prophetic gospel. This gospel Jesus and his apostle preach; because before His death and resurrection they did not have finished gospel, except in purpose of God. Heb. 4, but after Jesus died and rose against the old Covenant or Testament loss its force and the full free salvation of a finish work, the gospel of substitution, reconciliation, atenement, free grace, was preach by the apostles the witnesses, messengers, mouth pieces for Jesus, under the New Covenant or Testament. As God spit thru David, David, 23,2; so he spoke by the apostles and their consecrated and inspired coadjutors. Christ Lives Agan Morrow Jesus lived His life over in these chosen men and women who believed in Him and were filled with His spirit, Gak. 2:20; J. Cor. 2:16. They had Christ's mind. His spiritual presence was to them wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption. J. Cor. 1:36, 31. St. Paul could easily say, "Be followers of 'me'." He was Christ-filled. The Spirit of Christ was in him, not to exalt Paul and make him some great boss or leader; but to take the thinks of Christ and show them to those who followed. Exalt Themselves The great religious leaders of today exalt themselves. Those of the early days minimized themselves and exalted Christ. "Be followers of me" did not mean "I am the great power of God, I am the wender of the age." For this Paul saith, "Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ." A Gospel From Heaven But Paul had received from heaven the gospel to the Gentiles, and God's patterns and plans had been made known to him. Accounting himself as nothing, he yet was the wise master builder and father of the Gentile churches. Praise the Lord. In his day there were heretics and men deceiving believers off after themselves. They promised to be worse after his departure. Acts 20:25. Knowing these things, He was jealous over the churches with a goodly jealousy that he might present them as chaste virgines unto Christ, uncorrupted in doctrine, practice or leadership. Practically A Finished Life He is now a prisoner of Jesus the Christ. The end of his ministry is nearing. The shadow of the evening are stretched out,/He has fought the good light.

He has not been turned aside by Greek nor Jew not Roman. Nor politics, nor philosophical flattery nor ease of life nor dread of persecution has deflected him from the doctrine and truth that Christ is all. He has not turned back to the moonlight of law, nor to the beacon fires of human thought, nor the darkness of looseness and lust. He has not invented something to suit the selfishness not swerved to please the proud. He has preacht Je- sited by Rev. S. M.

Now he bids us follow with him. Shall We? Shall, we follow with Paul? Or shall we become wise above what is written and follow with those who, like Uzziah of old, are smitten with the incurable leprosy of a spiritual presumption? Where are we standing? What are the ideals before us? Are we following with those who gave us the New Testament? Shall the apostles be our leaders in example, forbearance, conduct, doctrine, spirit, mind? Shall we have a New Testament religion, or shall we go asgray after strange spirits and offer strange fire at God's altar? Own Your "Home" and Avoid Notices to Move.

"IF I HAD YOU DOWN IN TEXAS" By Jesse O. Thomas For The Associated Negro Press A few nights ago, leaving New York City at 11:30 over the New York Central en route to Rochester, passengers in one of the Pullman care were awakened by a controversy between another passenger and a Pullman porter. Some misunderstanding arose in connection with the handling of the passenger's baggage. The other passengers' attention was attracted to this discord by the loud speaking of the fellow passenger who exclaimed to the porter at the top of his voice, "Shut up! If I had you down in Texas I would swing you to a limb, cut off your ears and take them for a souvenir."f. Without any further discussion, it is clear to the reader as to the race and nationality of the passenger in question as well as the geographic boundary of his birth place. The Constitution of the 21st chronicles on of the most peculiar, horrilic murders that have ever been committed in any civilized community, and especially as it seems to be a sequel to a criminal escapade covering a period of a year. A young man by the name of Frank McDowell, claiming to be directed by some invisible spirit and actuated by some divine impulse at the command of "Jehovah" killed his father and mother while they slept on February 19th, exactly one year from the date that his two sisters were burned to death in their bedrooms at Decatur, Ga. An uniring effort was made to connect, the mattress of the bed where these young women slept in Decatur. This woman was taken thru the "third" degree and perhaps the "thirty-third" degree and made to testify that her husband set this room on fire that burned to death these girls. If this had occurred in many parts of the state, it would not be surprising if the husband of this discharged cook would not have been "down in Texas". Young McDowell, brother of the two unfortunate girls, now confesses that it was he instead of the discharged maid wh planned the destruction of his sisters for the same spiritual reason that he murdered his mother and father while they slept in St. Petersburg, Florida, to which place they moved shortly after the death of the girls. It now appears before the testimony if some of the leal minds employed in an effort to fasten the guilt on one of four Negroes under suspicion as well as statements from the relatives of ly conceded at that time that Krank conceded at that time that Frank knew something about the burning to death of his sisters. I wonder what Frank would do if he had a Negro "down in Texas?" On the other hand, I wonder if Frank's father ever had a Negro "down in Texas?" I wonder if Frank's grandfather on either his father's or mother's side of the fence ever had a Negro "down in Texas?" In other words, I am afraid that some of the people who have Negroes "down in Texas" do not realize what influence this may have on their own children even down to the third or fourth generation, in the matter of twisting or warping their mental selves so that they become mentally depraved and thirsty for blood. Psychologists might give some interesting information on this question of the effect it may have on our children whenever we have a Negro "Down in Texas." As important as it is to the Negroes who are the victims it is of very much more importance to the white people, the victors, and their children to cease to have Negroes "Down in Texas." SAN DIEGO Mrs. Martha J. Rutledge, State Secretary of California Federation of Colored Clubs, was joined in holy matrimony to Mr. Allien J. Butler, February 14, 1924, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Dodge, 2835 Imperial Avenue, by Rev. LY, S. Langley, Mrs. Rutledge being vice president of Ladies Book Club, they honored her by giving her wedding. The house was beautifully decorated with smilax and carnations. Little Elizabeth Pickens was flower girl and ring bearer, carrying the ring in a beautiful basket of sweet peas, Mrs. Baker was matron of honor, Mr. C. R. Carter acted as groomman. The bride was dressed very becomingly in rose silk with silk hat and gloves to match. A beautiful bouquet of pink roses, a gift of friends added to the beauty of the bride. The remalder of the evening which was the beginning of the honeymoon was spent at the Valentine and Colonial Dance given by the Junior N. A. A. C. P. The Junior Allen Christian Endease or League held a memorial service, last Sunday evening for their recently departed supervisor, Mrs. W. T. Hendry. The program was very impressive and very well carried out. The program was in charge of Mr. Theodore Harper, Vice-President of the Juniors. The Sikodeska Girls entertained a number of young people at the residence of Mrs. Ethel Oliver, Wednesday evening, February 29th. A joyful good time was had by all present. The club is progressing nicely under the leadership of Miss Matta Ritchie, president. The object of the party was to swell the membership. Miss Erma Johnson entertained her friends at a delightful party at her home on Franklin Avenue. The honored guest was Mrs. Woods of Colorado, who has been in the city for a number of days as a house guest of Mrs. Thomas Wilson. Dancing and whist were the favorite pastimes of the evening. Delicious refreshments were served by the charming hostess and every one declared that the evening had been delightfully apart. Miss Pansy Harper reports a pleasant trip to Uma, Arizona, with her brother, George Harper and she met many strangers although her stay was very short. She saw a great deal of the town and expects to make the trip again soon. Mrs. Rainwater returned with them, and will spend several days in our city. Mr. and Mrs. J. Brown, who recently came to San Diego from Phoenix, Arizona, are stopping with the Estes, 234 16th street. Mr. Brown is a plano and repairer, and is seeking to locate there in San Diego. We would do well to meet him. Robert C. Davis of the U. S. S. Kennedy, arrived in San Diego, after more than two months absence. He has been to Washington. He was greatest by his young bride, Mrs. Batrice Davis. He will leave next Wednesday for the Panama Canal to join the fleet. Mrs. A. Shelly is recovering from the operation and will be out again soon we hope. Excelsior Lodge celebrated Peter Ogden day at the Masonic Hall. The meeting was well attended. Rev. Dyvson assisted in conducting the ceremonies, having served all offices. As an Odd Fellow he was well prepared to deliver the service. He has been of much help to the lodge. You can't keep a good man down. This is proven in the case of Syl Stewart, who sometimes lost his foothold in a big fire in Tia Juana, and it was whispered by many who begrudged his success in life that his end had come at last. But the old saying that God works in a mysterious way is true. When you think you have a man on the ground sometimes you get fooled. Mr. Stewart possesses a Christian heart and is ever helping the ones who are trying to pull him down. It is truly said that God will help the cheerful giver. The writer joins The Eagle Staff in wishing Mr. Stewart all the success in the world. And his new and beautiful place will be a a light house in Mexico. It is whispered that he has the finest place in Tia Juana. His new Bar is located on Second Street. If you want to spend a real evening while in Mexico, don't forget to stop at the new Post Bar. The home of Mrs. Thompson was visited by Dan Cupid on last week when she gave, away a beautiful daughter, Miss Anna May to Mr. M. Chestnut. It was a lovely wedding, Mr. N. Long was the best man, and Miss Thomas the bridemaid. The wedding was a private affair. There were many of the young people present. Rev. Powell performed the ceremony. We wish the newly married couple much success life. Mr. M. Allen J. Butler are well and pleased with their new home. They are often seen, hi the meeting at Bethel A. M. E. Church, being greeted by their many friends, and Butler is wearing a smile that won't come off. Grace Presbyterian Church has just completed a series of six services arranged in the intereste of the several fraternal societies of the city. The orders appreciated the spirit of of the church's invitation, attended in large numbers, and were cordially welcomed by the members of the church. The pastor, Rev. E. M. Lewis, delivered a practical discourse on each occasion, setting forth the principles of the organization, their practical value and spiritual significance, and appealing for a fuller application of these principles in every day life. These interesting and thought provoking sermons were well received, and will doubtless bear fruit in many lives. A list of the Orders and the subjects of the sermons prescheed to them follow: Knights of Pythias, "Friendship"; United Brothers of Friendship, "Truth Personified"; Elks and Daughter Elks, "The Royal Law of Brotherhood"; Knights and Daughters of Tabor, "The True Tabernacle"; Order of the Eastern Star, "The Guilding Star"; Free and Accepted Masons, "The Triumph of Freemasonry".

A. Wright, 1428 Sixth street. The house was beautifully decorated in the club colors—yellow and green. Many delightful games were the event of the evening. Mrs. Manuel Murrell, the newly elected president is to be highly recommended for her wonderful club ability. Too much cannot be said in praising her. The invited guest present numbered about thirty making a party of about sixty, among which were many of Santa Monica's prominent people. At eleven-thirty a delightful repast was served in the club colors. After which the many guests departed for their homes declaring the ladies of the Philomathon Club wonderful hostesses. On Tuesday evening, March the 11th, Santa Monica will have the pleasure of hearing Mme. Hallel Q. Brown speak at Phillips, C. M. E. Chapel, 4th and Bay street.

Kyle, Bishop of the Fourth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Zion Church, delivered a special sermon Tuesday, February 19th. The Missionary Sister rendered a beautiful program which consisted of solos, and recitals. R. C. Lay, D. S. S. delivered an address, subject: "Our Boys" [The speaker said we should keep our girls at home, train them to be nice, send them to college and prepare them for the many professions in life. That they will make some man a real wife. But our boys, we just let them ramble and do all manner of evil. Then the boy grows up to meet the best cultured girl in our group and they become friends. From friendship to love, and from love to marriage. Who has the girl for a husband? Then we complain that our girls have no decent boys to correspond with. Who is responsible? Mother and father are responsible. If we have the race to take the front ranks we must train our boys as well as our girls. You should know what your boy is doing, and where he is as well as the girl. We must train our boys to be men so when he picks the prettiest girl, the most cultured and trained young lady for a wife, that young lady in exchange will have a pure husband. A man who is able to lead her instead of the girl being trained the boy untrained, it should be the duty of the parents to train them both. By training the boys as well as the girls we will get rid of the bad blood. Never will we have leaders in the future unless we begin in our boys and girls. Rev. B. J. Moon, State Musical Director, of Arkansas, is a recent visitor in our city and contemplates being in our city for ten or twelve months. Rev. Moon is also musical director of M. W. District B.Y.P.U.

Instead of such we have knows about as much as the city hall bunch knn Unsuited and utterly unqualified for the job, officers picked up here and there from the police we have no real brainy business men in Los A for the job. For God's sake, let us get them else for them. Continue as you are doing and you s the laughing stock of the world. It is much to be men in our city who should stand ace high am are the smallest and cheapest when it comes to ciple, they have none. "Last Saturday morning a colored policeman entered a confectionery shop and ordered a drink. When informed the price, he said all right, give it to me, then inquired for the proprietor. Being informed he was at home asleep, he ordered him to be brought to the shop. On arrival he was called all the white trash, and he would be framed upon and cleaned up and told to come along. They walked to Vernon avenue, the police station was called, and with arrogance the officer gave the proprietor ten cents and told him to go on home. Ye gods, has Los Los Angeles come to such a pass where a colored officer can commit such an act, where such whose patronage is not wanted, let them stay away, either in business or residential, as the only outcome will be trouble. God made a race of people for each country, and he intended they should dwell therein and not to mix, creating a mongrel race. China for Chinese, Japan for Japanese, Turkey for Turks, etc. Much of thi strouble is caused by the low politicians and the general public is having their eyes opened. "The tax-eaters in our city hall have played dirty work, but the all-seeing eye is forever upon them. And at next election there will be a thorough housecleaning. Had we the right officials at the head of our city government, conditions would be quickly settled, but politics has been their game and still their game. Therefore, clean them out. The trouble today is cheap politicians who govern our city and our country. Their only qualifications is to take order from the higher-ups; they know not the meaning of honesty and integrity; their stock in trade is chicannery and deceit. Our harbor is a beautiful illustration. Every child knows that to have a house built it has to have a solid foundation, and so it is with the harbor. What is required is men thoroughly acquainted with harbor work and the best is none too good, and who know it from A. to Z. practically and otherwise, and who have been a success in that line of business. Instead of such we have a bunch who knows about as much as the city hall bunch knows themselves. Unsuited and utterly unqualified for the job, a job lot of politicians picked up here and there from the political trough. If we have no real brainy business men in Los Angeles suitable for the job. For God's sake, let us get them elsewhere and pay for them. Continue as you are doing and you soon will become the laughing stock of the world. It is much to be regretted that men in our city who should stand ace high among the people are the smallest and cheapest when it comes to business principle, they have none. "Pub. Com. Res. Prop.

T about his knowledge of City Government and We are re-printing with grammatical errors and misspelled words an article which appeared in last week's issue of "The White Way Bulletin," a paper apparently published, by the Ku Klux Klan and dedicated to the cause of keeping a certain end of Central Avenue clean for "white trash." Now, the author of this article first of all is a disgrace to his own race because of the fact that he has not made the most of his opportunities. He knows little about authrophy, less about grammar and nothing about rhetoric. To say anything about his knowledge of City Government and Civic righteousness would be a play on words. If he were called upon to take an examination—his answers to any question, regardless of its character or kind—would be: This is a white man's country and we want to keep the black and yellow people out. CHAUNCEY TOWNSEND On The Cinematic Basis of Reality Sometimes we speak of the motion picture industry in the most complimentary terms employing every superlative at our command to appraise as near as we can, its influence over the world as large; and sometimes—though less frequently—our remarks are full of irony and ralliery. To definitely ascertain whether or not the motion picture is a high and indespensable art reflecting the spirit of the age and expressing the thought and action of mankind is the especial aim of this editorial That the cinema distorts and misrepresents life, that it is almost never an adequate expression of reality is already a platitude. Take the case of the DeMilles. Both Cecil and William have been giving us rot. They have been giving us drivel. They apparently think that all life consists of social scandal and political intrigue. They have lavishly spent monstrous fortunes merely to lead movie-goers into a world of make-believe, which is not only of short and fleeting duration, but is seriously detrimental in the outcome. Their policies and methods offer a singular antithesis to the new movement in English literature. The new movement in literature is decidedly realistic. The new movement in motion pictures is monotonously romantic. And, certainly, if human thought is to elaborate itself, if there is to be had some definite utility from the several arts, they should all consciously work toward the same end. But the producers have apparently this end in view—to swell the gate proceeds for the box-office. Perhaps this is why so many splendid novels when adapted for screen purposes are colossal failures. And it is not always the author's fault. The author—if he aspires to be one of the first rank—usually gives a dispassionate representation of life as he sees it. Whether he sees clearly, whether his vision is free of lethargy, whether it is untainted with the foul breadth of prejudice or pessimism or not is the critic's business to determine; and the movie producers, therefore, cannot substantiate themselves by any system of cold logic when they say that, because a good story does not make a sensational success, an established author's work is devoid of interest. The trouble is that the author's story has not enough of that cheap, swaggering, sentimental appeal which the producers want. It is hardly necessary to multiply instances in which the producer has ravisly sought to assure the monetary gains of his film by mutilating a good novel. In adapting "The Eternal City" to the screen, the scenarists tried to modernize the original story. The effect was not alone disappointing, but disgusting. Although the main theme of the play was made to stand out vividly in every scene, the presentation of so many extraneous features destroyed one's perspective. "Treasure Island" was certainly not the "Treasure Island" which, in our grammar school days, filled our minds with strange hallucinations. It was the ultra-modern version concocted by the cinema in its attempt to push into the arena of stardom two juvenile players who are well-known to every movie fan. After seeing that melodramatic extravaganza, one is apt to come away—if one is not well informed—with an unshakable conviction that New York and New Yorkers have only one interest and that alone; to wit: to spend their time self-indulgently keeping up with the press If he would read history he would realize that the Black man is just as much American or perhaps more than he is, that he owns more real estate; owns and operates more business on Central now than Mr. "White Way" advocates ever will have. Now, about the Negro officer; who resented being overcharged for a drink, we have this to say. He should have refused to pay the overcharge and brought suit on the ground of being refused the courtesies due a citizen and an American in a public place. And the only cause we can lay his derision of the public official to is possibly their caution in signing Ku Klux membership cards as readily as Mr. "White Way" desires. We would suggest that this white way organization utilize this anti-black invasion vigilence committee in the protection of its women and girls who are daily sold into white slavery. reports of the scandals and debaucheries of those celebrated in the pugilistic and theatrical world! A galaxy of artists, sport-writers, humorists, and others more or less prominent are quite inartistically made part of the film, when—though strange it may seem to the undiscerning—they do not add an iota of color or change the plot or action of the play. All this, mind you, was deliberately done, as we have said elsewhere, to swell the gate proceeds for the box-office. Said Mr. H. G. Wells, m answer to an inquiry made by "John O' London's Weekly" concerning the true place and importance of motion pictures: "I am anxious to oblige, but really I have no views about the matter. The cinema people seem to me to be utterly damned fools, beneath the level of a decent man's discussion." We will not speak with such great rancor. We are conscious of some good and beautiful productions which we have seen; but we cannot refrain from closing without making a deliberate expression of the conviction that the cinema as expressed through certain well-known producers, art directors, scenario writers, and others more or less concerned is one of the most inadequate, misleading, sophisticated, most damnable and damaging expressions of reality in the world of art today! DuBois The Stylist DuBois the stylist has been heralded in every academic circle with much flourishing of trumpets and crashing of tympani. With a series of explosive alliterations, the Harvard savant receives much hero worship and much comment from the book reviewers for, securing vivid and telling effects. He possesses a keen sense of prose rhythms and cadences. His phrasing is so smoothly marked by periodic rests that one is led to believe that he expends too much energy in the choice of the individual word. In "The Soul of Black Folk" it is the sophisticated rhetorician; and although "Darkwater" is but an inadequate collection of personal impressions, crudely strung together by various artifices, it nevertheless attains a height, a charm, and dignity of expression commonly denied to the plurality of men. The New Negro Youth Movement The new Negro youth movement has been touched upon and fully described by various writers to the current magazines. Some regard it as one of the most significant movements of the day; others, vastly in the minority, speak of it with scarcely disguised irony, as it were but a feable gesture which youth sometimes employs in its attempt to make itself felt. Perhaps the most graphic and representative account is that which appeared in "The Young Citizen" written by our good friend, James Wilson McGregor, stylist and leader of the young intelligensia of Los Angeles—a name by which those who think they have the latest aspect of mind designate themselves. We reproduce it in part because; it is an accurate account of the restless, and somewhat adventurous and crusade-like spirit of the rising generation; because, our readers should know about the new movement; but principally because, it is charmingly and scholarly written. "The Negro youth of oday," it ruses "will be the Negro of tomorrow. Upon him rests the burden of lifting him people into the new world of Christian thought and practice and of demonstrating to mankind at large the fallacies of racial deremit upon the basis of race alone. It is interesting to note that through him the eyes of America are gradually being opened. Still handicapped in many ways, he nevertheless, stands side by side with the rising aristocracies of intellect among his white brothers to give to them a new understanding—a new conception—of the great and various possibilities existent in the very nature of his people. "Among these two elements there is fast developing a common basis of friendship; and by their influence alone will there eventually arise a new America, stripped of her unfortunate heritage of caste and racial distinctions; baptised and purified in the clarified waters of a new democracy; reading to the world, as she should do, the lessons of racial amity and good will—of interracial solidarity and progress. "It is, in brief, the hope, of the mighty awakening of the spirit of Negro youth." --- Wesley C.

Special correspondents to the ABM BANTU, Johannesburg, South Africa. Our Motto Live Stuff Only. By Wesley C. Peoples Special to The California Eagle Your correspondent, having lieved for some time that districts of vice and licensed vice had been eliminated from all American office was anxious to see how it work out in the city of Reno. Well it has helped it has drawn the nondescript from everywhere. Yet contrary to the circumstation of its advocates and devout it has not made this town the booztown that was expected. Of course the opponents of this administration are still organizing for its defeat at the coming election the outcome of which is by no means certain. Of all the better element of colored citizens are aiding in the abatement of the evil. The Johnson Campaign President Coolidge seems to have first call for support among the Negro liberals of this state. His supporters have talked to many of the leader sand paked them to explain their opposition to Senator Hiram Warren Johnson, and it all resolves itself back to his alleged failure to support the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Many of these have professed a great admiration for the Senator, but all express the belief that he should have gon to the bat in favor of this piece of legislation, in fact many expressed the opinion that the lack of support of this measure on the part of the Senator was a direct rebuff to the race. Certain it is that the Senator is losing a lot of support on this particular ground and a great deal of explaining will be necessary on the part of the Johnson manager to reggin it. Have Common Complaint Negro citizens of Neyada, that is, the rank and file, are making some complaint about their organizations here as are prevalent in California, viz, the vast number here and the lack of any concrete accomplishment on the part of them as a whole or as individuals. Then too, they are constantly harrassed by the self constituted leaders. They have found it next to impossible to lay their complaints and petitions before their legislative counsels, saying that usually it is some individual who refuses to be bound by the wishes of the organizations, they being a member of the organization and participating in the deliberations thereof. In The Weather Bureau Reno boasts of the only colored man, or as Percy Buck would say, Black American, in the United States Weather Bureau: Mr. T. Williams gets up in the morning at 3:30 a.m. and takes a few observations as to what old sol or Jupiter Pluvius has to say for the incoming days. This information in turn is transmitted to the papers and the kind hearted natives know whether to put on a back or get out his snow shoes. One In The Post Office Mr. E. J. Hayes is the only Black American in the Postoffice in Reno. He is a World War veteran, correspondent for the Chicago Defender, and a carrier for Uncle Sam. University of Nevada I made a tour of the University of Nevada to other day. They have a wonderful school up here. But I found no black American therein. They have the Mackey School of Mines here and it is wonderful opportunity for some members of the race to get into this line. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Allen have a Boys' and High School here and pay the way they have some wonderful school buildings for the children. Young William is fifteen years old and is a junior in the school. He is also a member of the Y. M. C. A., and a budding race cartoonist. His father is an engineer at the Hotel Coliseum. This hotel is owned by George S. Wangcheng, and Allen has been in his career since 1906. Nevada like many other states, is prefused as to its hotels and restaurants. No black man can procure service in any of the first class or not that second class hotels or restaurants. One must be very careful where one goes. Asked if they have a civil rights law, they don't appear to know what it means, and they haven't sufficient confidence in their legislators to believe that they might be able to have one passed. Reno has a Forum, where all cliff and-political questions are opened for discussion. They have a 'few faithful members' who bear the burden. Thep chief complaint is that the town is over run by the under world element who have no interest in anything save rice. They were successful enough to secure United States Senator Oddis to deliver an address to them. About eighteen were sufficiently interested to turn out and hear the Senator.

And too, no part of the automobile receives greater abuse than the battery. The average person seems to think their battery indestructible and acting on the strength of that belief, the battery receives little or no attention, with the result that sooner or later, generally sooner, the owner finds himself compelled to pay a visit to some service station, to get straightened out. Unlike most things, constant usage of one's auto tends to improve the condition of the battery. However, it is well to keep in mind the fact that this depends upon the condition that the plates must at all times be covered. When it becomes necessary to fill the cells with enough fluid, to keep the plates covered, only pure distilled water should be used. The battery has large responsibilities, and its strength should be conserved. Not only is it called upon to supply energy 10% the motor, but your lighting system, and horn are also dependent upon it to function. So if you wish a healthy battery, don't work your self starter over time; don't have your generator charging too fast, and in the event that a test shows yopr battery to be overcharged, turn on your lights for awhile, if you don't care to cut down generator. Always put in water before taking a spin, so your battery will have an opportunity to charge, in preference to filling on return. Ten days is the limit one should go before looking at your battery. If you don't expect to use your car for several weeks or more you had better take your battery out and put it in live storage at some battery station. Alway see that your terminals are absolutely tight to insure a live circuit. These few timely suggestions might save you the necessity of investing in a New Exide Battery, for which I am agent. Again, after a nabsence of ten years we witness, while traversing our city streets, the double decker motor bus just as in New York and Chicago Ten years ago when the experiment was first tried here, the time was not ripe for their introduction, consequently, after the novelty had worn off, patronage began to show signs of shrinkage, and naturally the revenue so vital to the success of all enterprises grew less and less until the concerns who operated them decided their successful operation a physical impossibility, and gave up the ghost, and the fifteen or twenty bushes were sent to San Francisco, there to operate during the exposition, following which they disappeared altogether from public view. But today the story is different. Yesterear Los Angeles had only about 175,000 population. Today she has 250,000 of those people living and what use is curiosity and novelty, then, today becomes an dealer necessity and so the double dealer is aaain here in our midst and working overtime, doing its bit to relieve traffic conditions, and assist folks to reach home and work on time. TRAFFIC 'ROUND THE BUTTON If you ride in or drive an automobile in the city of Los Angeles, no doubt you have noticed or been caught in one of those motionless merry-go-rounds that seem to happen more or less around any well travelled intersection of this city. Just a little tip—if you are driving and see two or three motorists about to arrive at an intersection at the same time and you think that there is a possibility of a tie-up, don't drive right into it, you will only make it worse, incline to the right and try to work your way around those who are nearest to the intersection, and nine times out of ten you will be well on your way before some one of them makes up his or her mind to back up a little and let the other fellow pass.

ACKNOWLEDGING HOUSTON MARTYR PETITION Has Already Appointed Officers Consider Cases of Men of 24th John W. Weeks, U. S. Secretary of War, has written to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, acknowledging receipt of the Houston Martyr petition, and announcing that he has appointed a board of officers to inquire into the cases of the men of the 24th still imprisoned for their alleged share in the Houston Riot of 1817. Secretary Weeks' letter, which is addressed to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N.A.A.C.F., is as follows: "Dear Sr.; "The petition presented by you to the President in behalf of the so-called Houston Rioters has been referred to the War Department for consideration. "A few daye ago I appointed a board of officers, consisting of no officer of the Adjutant General's Department, to visit the United States penitentiaries at Atlanta, Georgia, and New York, for the purpose of considering the cases of all military prisoners confined in the penitentiaries. and of all prisoners now in confinement in the discipline 7 burgesses mentioned above serving sentences of five years or more. "The board of officers above mentioned is made up of the two officers of the War Department who handle inmatters, pertaining to prisoners, and special attention will be given by the board to those cases in which sentences appear to be in excess of those adjudges by civil counts or like offenses. When this board shall have concluded its work, a similar board will be appointed for a like investigation at the United States Penitentiary, McNeill Island, Washington, and the United States Disciplinary Barracks, Alcatraz, Calif. "The investigation by the above board will include the sentences of the prisoners in whose behalf your petition is submitted." Norfolk, Feb. 21—Concerning this indifference of the Nees—of the latter day towards Emancipation Day observations, the Narkshol Journal and Guide says: "In the first place, and reference to American slavery enters into his imagination a picture of the abhorrence of the times. In the next place he realizes that there is yet no need to be gone to break the bonds of slavery of economic slavery, proscription of opportunity, injustice before the law, and denial of citizenship right, that his attention is focused more upon gaining a newer emancipation, an emancipation that will flow from the Constitutional amendments that grew out of the area of 1863, and made him a man free in opportunity, free in the employment of the privileges and immunities of American citizenship, more than it is now celebrated in the insurance of Abraham Lincoln's immortal preclamation". 0 L.
