ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE TELEPHONE: 829-244 PEOPLE Johns Lawrence Johnson Gains His Freedom This class Payne, one deacons in gled incess long-felt w thoroughly This class is taught by Deacon Payne, one of the most progressive deacons in the church who has struggled incessantly to accomplish his long-felt wishes—the perfection of a thoroughly organized ideal Bible Class. Mrs. Homer Jones, as Mistress of Ceremonies was introduced by Mrs. Etta Butler the president of the class. The program included the following numbers: Scripture reading by Mrs. Ida H. Ford; a retrospection of the class' work; covering a period of 8 years by Mrs. Williams, contained many items of interest during its early struggles for mastery; a song or two by the class chorus followed with a very spicy paper by Mrs. Virginia Corry which was the source of much inspiration. The duet by Mesdames Harrison and Wood was sweetly rendered and enjoyed by all. The feature number on the program was an address by Mrs. Eva O. Solomon, Director of Religious Education of the Western Baptist Association was a masterpiece of feminine oratory. She dealt with all the auxiliaries of the church without exception in a masterful way offering solutions and suggestions for the shallowness of general church activity, urging a closer cooperation of the members and a better understanding of God's word that we might enlighten others. After this address, presentation of certificates of membership were made by the instructor Deacon Payne to each member of the class. This event was for the purpose of raising money to augment their treasury in paying off their pledge to the building fund, realizing in this effort $29.00. This amount was taken after regular church offering. Mrs. Pearl Booker as organist for the class played chants at intervals during the program. After a few remarks by the pastor, C. Madison Young and R. W. Troy, Superintendent of the Sunday School, benediction was announced. A large number of old Los Angeles' settlers, attended the highly successful recital of John Payne, baritone and his accompanist, Lawrence Brown, last Monday evening, at the First A. M. E. Church, presented by the Soujourner Truth Club. Mr. Payne, who comes direct from London, England, where he sang before His Majesty, the king, has a deep, semi-dramatic voice of pleasing, with a personality as kingly, as His Majesty, himself, selections Handel, Pergolesi, Lully, Mendel deissohn, Quilter, Franz, Schumman Denza, and Mary Cook, with a number of Negro spirituals held the attention of the audience throughout the entire program. Mr. Brown ranks foremost with American accompanists, and was one time the accompanist of the world famous Roland Hayes. Several of the numbers sung by Mr. Payne, were arraged by him, and besides he sings with equal splendor. Friendship Bible Class Observes Anniversary ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING AT SUN, MARCH 30TH MEETING with equal Miss Ber Payne, acci stion, "Hi Violin Obl showed he strument. MRS. BE NUAL Miss Bernice Anderson, niece of Mr. Payne, accompanied the Denza composition, "Had You But Known" with Violin Obligato, in a manner, that showed her familiarity with that instrument. Mrs. Belle Oneal's Fourth Annual Piano Pupil's Recited of the Junior Class on March the 17th last was a great success in spite of the pouring rain. Nearly three hundred people attended and from the comments that were heard from all sides, the folks were highly pleased. The children were at their best, ranging from three and six years on up; not one child displayed nervousness or stage fright. Three years ago Belle Hoard carried the house away by playing the first house in the Midwestern Standard book with one hand and did not make one note. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` VOLUME 37 Following the recent verdict of manslaughter, carrying with it a recommendation for probation rendered by the jury selected to, weigh the evidence in the second trial of Lawrence Johnson, held on a charge of first degree murder growing out of the shooting in self defense, as claimed by Johnson, of Morris Harris, some ten months ago. Mr. Johnson, on last Tuesday appeared before Superior Judge Charles Burnell who presided over the now celebrated case, for sentence. Much bitterness was evidenced by the prosecution over the jury's verdict and Deputy District Attorney Costello used every means at hand to influence the judge to set aside that portion of the verdict which recommended probation and have him sentenence Johnson to a term of years in the state penitentiary. However Attorneys Coruti and Ford who so ably defended the accused man during his trial were on hand to see that the verdict of the jury, which in itself was a moral victory for the defendant, was carried out to the letter, and Judge Burnett, after carefully weighing the evidence of both the defense and prosecution as to the sentencing of the defendant, rendered the only verdict possible if justice was not to be miscarried and sentenced the defendant to two years probation, at the expiration of which time the whole matter will be a closed chapter. In arriving at the announced sentence Judge Burnell said in part: "If we did not have this idiotic indeterminate sentence law and I could sentence this man for a fixed term myself, the probabilities are that I would sentence him to about a year in State's prison. But inasmuch as this sentence is passed on by a political board of prison directors, I am going to give him probation. "In giving probation we must take into consideration all the facts in the case the interests of society, first, and second, the interests of the individual." The judge then went into a long "explanation" of how he was opposed to probation in the "ordinary" criminal case, but believed this to be an "excption". "The interests of society are the larger interests", said Judge Burnell. "We must consider the effects of a case upon society. If this man were imprisoned his wife and children might become a charge on the people. His previous record shows him to be a man who has not been in any previous trouble, a man of good and temperate habits and a man who is doing well. Prison would not make a better man of him, but would give him the stigma of an ex-convict. "This man has been in the county jail almost ten months, and this trouble and prosecution has undoubtedly been a very good lesson to him. He will probably, never commit such a crime or get into any trouble of any sort again." The Friendly Bible Class of the Friendship Baptist Church of Pascadera observed its second anniversary last night in the main auditorium of the church with a program very unique in its authority to a large and appreciative audience. The probationary, Gonodra's "Prince ye the Prince" song by the class as they secreting the Choir but was very impressive; Prairie by Mr. Bunie Purse, Chapel. Numerous reminiscences were held interperved with their close friends and a roll in response by boys and girls of the Sunday School which polled much pay and enthusiasm in the classroom.

Walker is seriously ill at the residence of her aunt, Mrs. Breedlove of this city. Mrs. Wilson's many friends are honing for er recovery. Jim Crow Is Growing Up Collier's, The National Weekly, for The northward movement of the Negro is making the race problem a personal matter for more of us than ever before. We shall have to forget about "keeping the Negro in his place". He is growing out of it. Literacy among Negroes has increased 70 per cent in the past 56. There are 50,000 Negroes in business in America, more than 70,000 in the professions, and nearly three-quarters of a million engaged in manufacturing. The lazy and unsploring are being replaced by new types, educated, ambitious, and a little proud. Mr. Saunders, who has traveled for Collier's among Negroes North and South, tells here what the new Negro is doing, and how he is creating a new race problem which we shall have to solve. Our greatest trouble in understanding the Negro in America is not unlike our trouble if understanding American youth. The Negro is a child growing up, and nothing gets out from under you and away from you quite so fast as a child growing up. This new Negro is creating a real race problem. The Negro problem that the South has had to wrestle with was never a Negro problem at alf; it was a political problem only. Unsurprising white politicians used the ignorant Negro in politics for the dual purpose of advancing their own cause and punishing their enemies. The Negro became obnoxious in politics because unscrupulous white men made him so. And he finally became such a stench in the ballot box that the South, in desolation, eliminated him from politics by virtually disfranchising him. Removed from politics, the Negro turned to self-improvement in more satisfying and remunerative ways, and he has made astounding progress in a very few years. One thing we must recognize in any study of the Negro in America today is the fact that there are as many different kinds of Negroes as there are different kinds of white folks. More; there is a lot of vain, selfish, arrogant, bulb-headed Anglo-Saxon blood mixed up in the colored race in America. I am convinced that one of the fastest growing things in America to-day is the Negro. In sixty years of freedom Negroes have acquired ownership of 218,612 farms, embracing 12,948,512 acres, with improvements valued at $554,153,000. Negroes have established seventy-four banks with a total capital of $6,250,000. doing an annual business of $35,000,000. They have established insurance companies with assets of $6,500,000, all told, with more than 100 million dollars in policies to force. The National Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., organized and operated by Negroes, has over 28 million dollar* insurance in force on the lives of colored people, with assets of more than 2 million dollars and a net reserve of more than 1½ million. The Bleecker The Better In the town of Durham, N.C. (G. (Fap) which there is not a greater white malt shop in the Belle South), and finds a secretary, office building of the most medium drunken construction, owned and operated by the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, an insurance company owned and operated by Negroes. Durham Negroes list for taxation more than 2 million dollars in property and send 2,500 children to the city's public schools. Seven Negroes in Durham have accumulated individual fortunes of from $50,000 to $200,000 each. I might produce facts as interesting from Greensboro, Raleigh, of Winston-Salem, N. C.; Nashville or Memphis, Tenn.; from Atlanta or Savannah, Ga., from Jacksonville, Fla., or Birmingham, Ala. What Negroes in Durham, N. C., are doing, in a friendly environment in which they are permitted to work out their own problems, is being done by Negroes all over the South today. But when I spring these facts about Negro problems, I always find some one ready to discuss them with the explanation that it is the white blood in the inmlatto that displays such thrift and enterprise. And the an who say that doesn't know what he is talking about. In my long association with the Negro in the South I have found the pure black types generally more thricity, more threw in barter than the lighter types are, and as ambitious to educate and advance their young. Right here I am going to present two of the foremost Negroes in America, both of whom have achieved wonderful successes and made the best use of their talents. One is a scientist, the other is a business executive. One is light, the other is black. One cannot contemplate these two distinct types and their achievements without being forced to the conclusion that it isn't a matter of race or color, but a matter of education and the fact of the ultimate improvability of any Negro type. These two men are Heman E. Perry, president of the National Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga, and Dr. George Washington Carver of Tuskegee Institute. Just a thumbnail sketch of the pair and I rest my case for the improvability and progress of the Negro. Heman E. Perry, an ambitious young Negro, started out to organize the Standard Life Insurance Company in 1908. The State of Georgia required a bond of $100,000 of any insurance company doing business in that State. Perry had to aim for stock subscriptions amounting to $100,000. A charter for the Standard Life Insurance Company was secured in 1909, and the company given until January 28, 1911, to make its deposit of $100,000. The date of January 28, 1911, rolled around, and only $85,000 of stock in the company had been sold. At the close of that day Heman E. Perry faced the sad task of returning to every investor each dollar that had been paid in. By February 3 every check had been sent out for the amount invested with 4 per cent interest added. Mr. Perry pocketed his own losses incurred in selling the stock. But right here was where he won; the return of that money to the thousands of small stockholders instilled into everyone a new confidence in the man who had kept ever promise. Heman E. Perry started anew, and onm hrc23 of that qtft.cox v xb and on March 27, 1913, he secured from the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Georgia a certificate showing that $100,000 in bonds had been deposited by the National Insurance Company. Then, to insure the production of business, Perry went into the field and wrote and placed $250,000. worth of insurance himself, for which he refused to take a commission. The National Insurance Company of Atlanta has been the inspiration for other Negro enterprises with which it is affiliated. One of these is the Citizens' Trust Company, which opened well it is succeeding is reflected in its deposits of $469,730.88 on March 1, 1933. In 1917 Perry and his associates founded the Service Company with an authorized capital of $100,000, operation at that time a laundry in Atlanta. In 1923 a second laundry was opened in Augusta. From these beginnings the Service Company has grown into other lines of laundries and includes a $400,000 institute. It is the largest corporation in the world today organized by Massey. The company was in much demand a contract to Auburn. lic school building by the city of Alanta at a figure of $212,000. **Carver is a Black Genius** Now for Carver. He is the Negro scientist in charge of the research laboratories at Tuskegee Institute. You will find him in "Who's Who in America". He is a member of the British Royal Society of Arts, a distinction enjoyed by not many Americans. Working in his laboratory at Tuskegee, this colored man has developed 165 by-products of the sweet-potato. Some of his sweet-potato products include synthetic rubber, black paint, and white flour. From the clays of the Georgia hills this black man has developed colors that have been the basis of his potato products, salad milk, buttermilk, butter, butter, salad oils, cheese, face lotions, inks, and dyes from peanuts; flour paint, sirup, a coffee substitute, and ginger from sweet potatoes, and everlasting colors from the clays of the hillsides—these are but a few of the wonderful discoveries of this black genius whose works have been recognized on two continents and who is now in almost daily conference with capitalists and investors seeking to make practical application of his discoveries. And this George Washington Carver was born of pure Negro stock on a Missouri plantation about the time of vegetable and insect life. At the age of ten he was admitted to a little one-room schoolhouse. At the age of welve he got an opportunity to go to Fort Scott, Kan, with a family and there he worked and went to school until he bot an opportunity to go o Fort Scott, Kan., with a family and there he worked and went to school until he had secured a high school education. After more years of work he got into a small college in Iowa. Later he went to the Iowa State College, at Ames, where he pursued agricultural work and took the degrees of master of arts. After taking his degrees he was elected a member of the faculty and given charge of the greenhouse, bacteriological laboratory, and the laboratory work in systematic botany. During all those years in which he was acquiring an education he paid his way as he went, usually as a laundryman. About thirty years ago Dr. Booker T. Washington recognized in him the man he needed at Tuskegee. To Tuskegee Dr. Carver went, and there you will find him to-day. With a great love for all mankind and a sublime faith in the Creator of all things, this black man, in whom here is no trace of a white man's blood, continues to make discoveries and perfect processes that may yet revolutionize the agricultural industry in the South that once embraced human slavery and thereby trapped itself into slavery to a one-crop system of agriculture. A New Kind of Race Pride Perry and Carver! Two distinctly different types of the same race, each working along distinctly different lines, but both imbued, with racial pride and race consciousness, and both working for the economic emancipation of their kind. At the same time they are working up a real race problem by the new race consciousness and race pride they are inspiring in teif once lethal, lary, unaspiring kind. Jim Crow's sons are making places for themselves. There is your real race problem in these United States to-day. The Negro's biggest stake is in the South. Here he has worked out his problems and established his greatest religious and educational institutions. And it is here that he, in large numbers, has rooted himself in the ownership of buildings and lands. The uneducated, unskilled lower working class, tired of the struggle and helpless in their ignorance, will continue to seek economic and social betterment in the North, the East and the West. But the leaders and those better equipped Negroes have achieved economic independence in the South are not going to be certain gains for our own people in these parts of the country unless they work with us to make them work for us. OUR LAST APPEAL Sometimes ago in last month we asasked for volunteers to take part in this great drive for a baby. This drive 'closes Saturday. April 12n at 5:30 o'clock, so will you answer now and enlist to sell Buttons on that day or will you call up the captain of the drive and she will gladly come and get just what, ever you care to give toward a homeless and motherless, friendless child, whose only friend is the children's Home Society where it is cared for daily with patience until it finds a loving, kind hand to take it so it will enjoy the happy thoughts and happy hours of a mama and daddy. Won't you help them live and grow. If it has no mother, no home, then its yours and mine to care for. Thirty years have passed and our have never been asked to help the babies came and went and all were cared for. Won't you help this time? This is not a daily or monthly appeal so friends, its up to you, to help these poor kids as we can if we will. Will you? Say yes and moll a dollar. No more! You will not miss a real charity of charity for California's greatest church of charity for California's McNell our church in this particular line made her appeal to the congregation of St. Paul Baptist Baptist of this city and Paul Baptist Church of representing Mrs. McNell, as she a volunteer in the drive and collecting funds donated at that church which will be announced in a later paper. Mrs. McNell also made her appeal before the U. N. I. A. Society, and collected $2.50. Then on last Sunday evening and on Tuesday evening the Sunny Land famous Orchestra had Mrs. McNell make her appeal at their dance and raised $64 for her there in their small crowd owing to bad weather. Many thanks to them. On this coming Sunday morning Mrs. J. McNell will be at 8th and Towne street Church through the kindness of their pastor. Rev. Ward, and on the same Sunday evening will be at the People's Independent Church of Christ, Rev. Greggs, Pastor. Please come out and hear of her work among the outcast and destitute, motherless, and homeless children of your and every other race of this city and northern California. Respectfully Children's Home Society, 919 E 25th Street, City. GIVE MUSICALE Among the foremost of last week's affairs, was an interesting and brilliant musical given by Mrs. Arthur Luster and Florong Borday, at Mrs. Luster's home on East 20th street, assisted by Mrs. Alma O. Eadens and Mrs. Arctura C. Taylor, Mr. Maurice Matthews and Mr. Lockhart Hansberry, Mr. Arthur Luster, formerly of New York and New Orleans, who has now made her home in Los Angeles, proved a very charming hostess. Mr. Borday, who conducts a studio of classic dancing, presented a number of his pupils, with the assistance of Coral Gilmore Johnson, pianist, an artist of distinction. Little Caty Jean Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Johnson, gives promise of becoming a brilliant dancer, deserving much praise, this being her second appearance. Juanita Williams, daughter of Mrs. May Williams, proved to be one of the leading dancers of her race. Both little ladies making a charming dance dancing amidst the floral decorations, in their numbers, reflecting the very splendid training they have had. Many prominent people of the social and professional world were present. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Jean Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Mammy, Mrs. Mr. W. Williams, Mrs. The right of land subdividers in exclusive tracts and of individuals to attempt to prohibit race folk from owning and occupying residences therein are now in a death grip in the Courts of California. Many years ago it was the fashion to say that: "Land conveyed should never be leased, rented, sold or conveyed to any person not of the Caucasian race." In 1918, upon the advice of Attorney Willis O. Tyler, Homer L. Garrott bought a home in West 59th street with this restriction in the deed. Immediately a suit was filed by the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, a millionaire corporation, to forfeit the title and the case went to the Supreme Court. Attorney Tyler defending the rights of his client, Mr. Garrott. A victory was won for the race and the Supreme Court decided that restrictions against "please or sale to persons of the Negro race were void." Immediately thereafter the restricts were reformed and made to read "Nor shall any person non-Caucasian use a cupy or premise" after Los Angeles. Involvement Co. a millionaire corporation, issued Alfred Gary, a Negro because he was violating the restriction against "use and occupancy". When this case went to the Supreme Court the decision in the Title Guarantee & Trust Co. vs Garrott (183 Page 470) was sustained as to the lease or sale but the Court split the difference and held that the restriction against "use and occupancy" was good. In-May of 1922 the Jans Investment Co., a millionaire corporation, sold a lot to J. H. Walden, a white man and he in turn permitted Jesse Walling to use it. The contract contained a restriction against "use and occupancy" by a person non-Caucasian Jesse Walling is a Negro. A suit was filed to forfeit the title because of the violation of the restriction and Attorney Willis O. Tyler represented both Walden (white and Walling (Colored) upon an adverse decision in the Trial Court and appealed to the Supreme Court. As the case now stands the Supreme Court is called upon by the appeal perfected by Attorney Tyler to decide whether or not the restriction against "use and occupancy" is valid. Following upon the heels of Jans Investment Co. vs Walden, et al. H. Letteau sued W. H. Long of 1171 E. 41st street to forfeit a title because of the restriction against "use and occupancy". Mr. Long, a stanunch race man and a member of several fraternal orders, bought a five room residence at 1171 E. 41st street, and met the restriction face to face. The case is now pending trial in the Superior Court. Attorney Tyler is determined to have a decision from the Supreme Court putting at rest for all time the rights of Negroes in the supposed exclusive residential districts of this state. The case Begutit Mr. Long is but one of a similar kind and Attorney Tyler and Attorney Jones are united in the fight for the rights of Negroes and determined that the Supreme Court of the United States shall finally pass upon the question of necessary.

E. CHURCH Eighth and San Julian Sts. Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor Sunday was a fine day at Wesley. The pastor's morning sermon was helpful and inspiring. Many visitors attended our services. The Musciane' Progressive Association rendered a very fine program at the evening hour. I especially want to comment these musicians for their fine character and taste in the make up of their organization and the program rendered. Any church is highly honored to secure the services of these young people. This Sunday promises to be a record breaker. The pastor will preach and conduct the communion service both morning and evening. Special music by the chair. Wesley promises a service both helpful and inspiring. Come and see.

At the evening service "Uncertain Sounds" was the subject of his message. The mixed quartet gave a special musical number which was enjoyed by the audience.

April 5th You are invited to attend these meetings and bring your unsaved friends. We will be assisted in these meetings by the Rev. Brother Lewis; the great singing evangelist. WARD CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Our Sunday school last Sunday showed much interest and zeal. A number of visitors being present. Among them was Major Anderson, retired from the S. S. service, who addressed the school with great interest, and very impressively. He also attended our morning services and addressed the splendid congregation present who expressed their appreciation by hearty greetings. At the morning service the pastor spoke from the text, "Preach the word, be instant in season." At 3:00 p.m. m. Mrs. Anderson wife of the Major delivered a splendid address to the Missionary society, which was highly appreciated. Mrs. Washington, the wife of P. E.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH 33rd and Hooper Ave. M. Frederick Mitchell, Pastor M. Frederick Mitchell, Pastor Last Sunday was truly a high day at the Christian Church. Pastor Mitchell bought us two old time gospel sermons. All the other activities made excellent showing. The boys "Welfare League" and the Girls "Industrial Club" partock of a marked degree of helpfulness for the young people of our church and community. The Literary Society had a fine program last Monday evening. Regular services next Sunday. If you are a stranger in the city, visit on. church, for strangers are made to feel at home. PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST It is news to know of the activities of the people of the Independent Church. There is something new every Sunday. This is evidenced by the big crowd that throngs the church auditorium every Sunday. The inspiring services of last Sunday were characterized by an all-day interesting program. In the morning the pastor preached a very pointed sermon. Mr. Dewey Johnson sang a beautiful bartone song. Music by the choir was melodious and very good. The Annual Sermon of the Knights of Pythias was preached by Rev. A. Lively, pastor of the New Hope Baptist Church. Music was furnished by the Independent Choir. A large audience was in attendance. Interesting discussions were had in both the Junior and Senior Departments of the Endeavor at the 6:30 session. A permanent organization of the men's club was effected through the brotherhood of the church. The hour of 7:30 ushered in a wonderful program by the Young People's Lyceum. This is a limelight organization of the young people of the church and is making commendable strides in the front line movements of the educational, social and religious activities. The program rendered by the live bodies of the young people on last Sunday evening was quite rare and will be remembered for its inspiring instructive features, in time to come. The speaker for the occasion was Mr. James McGregor. The subject of his address was "Living". His eloquence was captivating to the audience and was animating to the mind of every youth present, aspiring for the distinction of an orator. Rev. Greggs responded to the address with encouraging remarks, telling of the work and accomplishments of the Lyceum workers. Such encouragement is exemplary of the co-operative spirit that should be given, from time to time, by able, experienced leaders to those aspiring to be constituent elements of a great Church of Tomorrow. Our Sunday school is still growing. The truth is still being held up before our eyes. Solomon says "Train up a child. . . ." Our children are being trained. God's pure word is being taught them diligently, and the results are being left to God. Rev. Rozier preached from 11 Kings 4:48. "O thou man of God, there is death in the pot." The lesson is discussed from three points. The cause of the death pot. The effect of the death pot. The remedy of the death pot. We thank God for his word, and for His servant, who makes His truth plain to us. We find that it is necessary for the people to hear and receive the truth. Sunday night Rev. Rozier preached from St. Luke 9:67. Back sliding, various scriptures were discussed and it was made plain how God abhors back sliding. The back slider does more harm, and is a greater stumbling block than one who has never been converted. A very good program was enjoyed in the B. Y. P. U. and rare talent is sometimes discovered in our little folks. Every one is given a chance to use the talent God has given him in our B. Y. P. U. Come and worship with us, and partake of our spiritual and material feast. A free dinner, with every thing to eat is served in the dining hall every Sunday to all. Services each night in the week except Saturday. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C.M.E. CHURCH Fourth and Bay Sta. Santa Monica, Calif. Evangelist Wm. Lewis, National Gospel Singer of Chicago, IL., is con- ducting revival services for Rev. D. C. Carter and members of Phillips Chapel, Santa Monica and a great meeting is on.

Thompson, Supt., is beginning to put great big plans that will accomplish great big results. The eleven o'clock sermon was given by the pastor as usual. Text: "Israel's New Leader", Josh. 1:1-9. After he dismissed the members of the church reassembled and discussed plans, which no doubt mean the expenditure of about $600.00 for inside repairs and finishes of the general assemblage and Sunday School rooms. W. J. Thompson, F. B. Miller, E. Everett, E. Gooch, A. Ashcraft and Sterlin Leo were appointed as the committee to oversee the work, Mrs. S. A. Richardson, president of the Ladies Social Hour Club, handed over to the church treasurer an order for $160.00 from their funds for the church. Great things are just ahead. The section leaders of the Willing Workers are becoming enthusiastic over building their sections. Section 1.1 fell in its average one per cent. Section 2 made an average increase of 3 per cent. No. 3 increased 1 per cent. No. 4 fell 75 per cent. No. 5 increased 5 per cent. Y. P. S. C. E. has now the most efficient leadership of Mrs. Helen. J. Thompson. Watch it grow at 7:30 p. m.

Fisher, dean of McGay school of Religion, University of Southern California, from the subject "The Authority of Jesus" was an inspiraton and a blessing. He handled the subject in masterly fashion, and the audience went away edified. At night there was a Men's program, consisting of musical numbers, by Messers, Walker, Allon, White, Bryant, Mr. White playing a cornet solo. There was a literary selection by Mr. Davey, and an address was delivered by Mr. T. B. Norman, from the subject "The Call of God." The chief address was delivered by Atty. W. O. Tyler, from the subject "Have We Made Progress?" It was a masterly effort. The program was much enjoyed by the large number of persons present. The women will conclude their program on Sunday night with a very fine literary and musical program.

The next meeting will be held April 11th, at 2 o'clock at the Y. M. C. A. All clubs are expected to send representatives. Last Sunday afternoon from 4 to 6 the Sojourner Truth Club entertained in honor of Mr. John Payne, Mr. Lawrence Brown, distinguished artist, and Miss Anderson, niece of Mr. Payne, at the Sojourner Truth Home. Mrs. Tillie Allen, Social Chairman, assisted by Mrs. Lula Slaughter, Mrs. Eva Thomas, Mrs. Lucile Shelton, received. Mrs. W. H. Joyce, Mrs. Atherton, Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Thibble served. Mrs. Edgar Page furnished music. About 300 guests called during the afternoon. Sojourner Truth Club did itself honor, Monday evening, March 31st, when it presented to Los Angeles the two distinguished artists, Mr. Payne and Mr. Brown, and Los Angeles turned out in appreciation. The Eighth and Town avenue church was packed which told of much success in every way. Los Angeles N.A.A.C.P. Activities for the year began in earnest with the enthusiastic meeting of February and March. Excellent programs characterized each meeting, and both were enlisted by the splendid singing of the Douglass Temple Choir. A forceful address by Major Anderson, on the subject of "Education", was delivered at the last meeting. In response to a plea by the President, Mr. J. C. Banks, many membership renewals were received. A substantial collection was taken for Mr. Ford, formerly of Detroit. The following is the list of officers for 1924: President, Mr. J. C. Brooks, VicePresidents, Mr. J. Thos. Norris, Drs. J. A. Somerville and Roberta Robinson, Mrs. Sadie Cole: Secretary, Beatrice S. Thompson; Treasurer, Mr. Eugene Walker; Legal Advisor, Atty. E. B. Ceruti; Speaker, Rev. W. E. Shaw; Executive Board; Rev. E. Ligtener, Rev. G. W. Shields, Rev. G. W. Shields, Rev. W. T. Cleghorn Ma. A. Hill, Hon. Frederick M. Roberts, Dr. Vada J. Somerville, Mrs. E. C. Buckner, Mrs. A. C. Richardson, Mrs. J. Mc Scott, Mrs. Lulu Slaughter. The secretary begs to submit the following report of activities for the year 1923, publication of which has been delayed due to absence from the city. Los Angeles Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Mr. President and Members of te Los Angeles Branch, N. A. A. C. P. The Los Angeles Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has held ten executive board meetings, ten regular monthly public meetings, eight Membership Drive meetings, a memorial service for Chas Young, and a Lincoln-Douglas day celebration anice the last annual report. The program of the Col. Young memorial was arranged by the Lambda Chapter of the Omega Pal Phi Praternity. Among prominent speakers at public meetings should be mentioned Congressman Dyer of St. Louis, Mr. Chandler Owen of the Messenger, Congressman Lineberger of California, Assemblyman Frederick M. Roberis, Mr. Booker T. Washington, Jr., Counselman P. K. Wheeler, and Rev. G. W. Shields of Los Angeles, Mr. Chas P. Seabright, representing the Jewish Christian Mohammedan Alliance and Mr. Chas L. Robinson, representate the "Order of Justice." The program committee, under the directon of Mrs. J. M. Scott has func ted very effectively, each member of the committee being responsible for the entire program of at least one meeting. Mme. Florence Cole Talbert was a guest artist on one of these occasions. Active support and cooperation in the work have been given by the following reverend gentlemen: Rev. T. L. Griffith, Second Baptist Church; Rev. Lively, New Hope Baptist; Rev. W. E. Shaw, A. M. E. Zion; Rev. A. M. Ward, First A. M. E. Temple; Rev. W. T. Cleghorn, St. Phillips Episcopal; Rev. Mitchell, Christian; and Rev. E. L. Lightener, Congregational Church. Revs. Lightener and Ward are members of the Executive Board. The membership drive under the direction of Mrs. Lulu Slaughter resulted in about a thousand members, including many five and ten dollar subscriptions. The outstanding feature of the drive was an open air meeting and barbecue arranged and conducted by the Rev. G. W. Shields of Douglas Temple Spiritualist Church. One hundred and forty paid memberships were received from this church, and Rev. Shields has instructed his secretary to prepare a N. A. A. C. P. Honor Roll to be framed and exhibited in his church. The Talbot Lodge, A. F. and A. M. is among the ten dollar subscribers. Mr. J. B James, who has been a regular five dollar subscriber for a number of years, paid twelve dollars subscription with the explanation that he wished to contribute a dollar a month to the work. Very effective committee work has been done by the School. Legal Redress and Legislative committees. Thru the eternal vigilance of Mrs. E. C. Buckner, chairman of the School committee, all disturbances affecting the relationship of the colored and white children in the schools have been amicably adjusted. Mrs. Buckner represented the N.A.A.C.P. at the last State Conference of Social Service Agencies held in Venice, California, for the branch conducted a lengthy investigation of the shooting of Mr. King in Blythe, Calif., by a deputy sheriff. Insufficient evidence presented the case from being prosecuted by the Branch. At Mr. Cerutl's suggestion, the Branch opposed the election of Ralph Criswell for the City Council by publicity showing his alleged association with the Ku Klux Klan. Assemblyman F. M. Roberts, a member of our Executive Board, cooperated with Assemblyman Bodoroco (white) in the passage of a bill at the last session of the State Legislature prohibiting the appearance of masked figures in public. This bill is an effort to curtail the activities of the Ku Klux Klan, which are becoming alarmingly vicious throughout the state. The visit of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois to California in the spring greatly stimulated interest in the Crisis. The Lcs Angeles Branch was represented at the Fourteenth Annual Conference in Kansas City, Kansas, beginning August 29th, by the secretary, Beatrice S. Thompson. The entertainment committee under the direction of Mrs. A. Hill, chairman, assisted by the firemen and policemen, gave a successful affair at which over two hundred dollars (200.00) was raised to apply on the annual apportionment. Respectfully submitted.

Secretary Homely Philosophy By Georgia Douglass Johnson she has many precious jewels in her lap. If we should count up the invaluable aftermaths of sorrow, we would not be so despairing when she draws near. Many if our most cherished experiences have been those resulting from sorrow, thus is the heart attuned, the ten-trimmed eye beholds the rainbow, the stricken hand receives the caress of the munificent. Sorrow's mantle is a high privilege and we should wear it gracefully, under its shadow life's rarest lessons are learned. Into the garden of sorrow Some day we all must room. If not today, then tomorrow. Beneath its purple dome. Sorrow overtakes each mortal in time, thrown her sable mantle over him, to see if he can see: to sing, ANNUAL EASTER BAY RECEIVES AN EASTER he can sing; to love if he can love. "Sorrow has many precious jewels in her lap". PHI BETA KAPPA WON BY COLORED GIRL AT WELLSLEY COLLEGE Mary Elizabeth West, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Charles I West of Washington, D.

POLICE OFFICERS CORRECT ERROR-DELEGATE BASS REPORTS ON GREAT MEETINGS OF EAST-CAPITALISTS AND FINANCIERS TO MAKE ADDRESSSES SUNDAY Before an audience that crowded every seat of the Forum's auditorium Captain Glen and Lieutenant Garrot of the city police department presented the records and facts refict to the arrest and extradition of Mr. Ford to Alabama. These two officers were chosen from those present as spokesmen. With words well selected and in concise manner they showed to the satisfaction of all that they were at all time within lin eof their sworn duty, rendering whatever assistance possible to their charge, setting at naught the wholly erroneous impression that these officers maliciously railroaded a Black American from this state to Alabama. Chairman McKinney took occasion to state that the most of the colored officers of the police department are a credit to our people, that they are our servants, guardians, protectors, not spies and persecutors, and, instead of maligning and condemning them, all law abiding citizens should encourage and support them in the discharge of their duties, for only upon the wicked and transgressor, and him who sits in the council of the ungodly does the lash of authority and the heavy hand of the law descend. Editor Bass was the Forum's representative at the Sanhedrin Council that met in Chicago last month. While he attended the sessions of the Lincoln Republican League and enroute home stopped at Nanhville, Tenn., where the National Negro Press was in session. In all of these meetings and gatherings our representative was an active participant and conspicuous figure. His recounting of these meetings was indeed interesting as evi- Walk into any of the great business institutions of our city.

HON. CALVIN COOLIDGE Get Ready to Vote for a Republican Candidate And Progress Registration for the presidential primary on May 6th will close on the day that the current issue of The Eagle comes from the press. A greater body of citizens will be eligible to vote than ever before in the history of the state, according to the latest figures which have been compiled. Registrar of voters, Lyons, on March 28, had registered 424,623 citizens in this county. Of this number 265,995 were registered as Republicans. At the last primary held in August, 1222, the total registration of Los Angeles county was 429,801. The Republican registration at that time was 263,457. The vote cast in this county was approximately 37 per cent as compared with 56 per cent in San Francisco county, 57 per cent in Alameda county, 52 per cent in San Diego county, and 69 per cent in all other counties. The problem which confronts all political parties and all factions of these parties is getting a large per cent of the votes to the polls on May 6th. The large registration, according to party leaders, is meaningless unless a great per cent of those registered vote. Residents of Monrovia have organized a Coolidge for President Club and have made plans for conducting an intensive program in President Collage's bahal in the nearby city, according to an announcement made from the local campaign headquarters yesterday. Officers of this organization are W. D. Holllins, president; Mrs. S. H. Reed, H. C. Conley, Thomas Bane, vice presidents, and Mrs. Lacy Cherry, secretary. The reverend G. W. Reed has been selected as chairman of the campaign. Headquarters of the body have been established at 211 Last Huntington drive. Organization workers at the local headquarters declare that a number of additional race organizations are to be formed soon. The three express, together with the title of the literature, the central ideas of the Coolidge candidacy, according to members of the committee directing activities in President Calvin Coolidge's behalf in Southern California. When the Republican party was returned to power by the greatest majority ever given a party, in 1920, there was one salient idea in the minds of the populace of the country—that of a continued prosperity, according to expressions of that time. It was then that the effort was instituted for a "return to normalcy". The result has been that industrially the United States has been recognized as the world's most prosperous country. In a last analysis this has meant jobs for the rank and file of the country's workers, according to leaders of the Republican party. In the agricultural sections of the country there has been a slower recovery from the post-World war condition, but the confidence in the Republican party and Pres. Coolidge as expressed by the large vote he received in North and South Dakota indicates, it is generally stated, that the farm program of the administration satisfies the farmers of the country. Since 1920 Southern California has enjoyed the greatest period of prosperity of recent years, according to the members of the campaign committee. This, they declare, has been due in alarms measure to the constructive policy that has been maintained by the Republican administration. A continuance of this policy during the next four years will mean continued prosperity for Los Angeles and Southern California, and this belief, they maintain, is responsible for the support which they have given the President and which they are asking from Republicans of this state. During the next few weeks Republicans of the United States will go on record regarding the policies of President Calvin Coolidge. (Campaign managers for the chief executive in Southern California have predicted that there will be a sufficient number of delegates pledged to the President before the National Republican Convention so as to make possible his nomination on the first ballot. As the count now stands 244 delegates have been pledged to the President. The following is a list of these representatives and the sections which they represent: Minnapolis, 27; Kansas, 23; Iowa, 24; Colorado, 15; Kentucky, 26; Virginia, 17; New Hampshire, 11; the Phillipines, 2; North Carolina, 11; Louisiana, 13; Idaho, 11; Mississippi, 12; Missouri, 6; Georgia, 2 and New Mexico, 9. The following is a list of the primaries which will be held prior to the National convention: Washington, April 6th; Rhode Island, April 7th; Illinois, April 8th (following a primary on April 8th); Florida, April 12th; Delaware, April 23rd; Oklahoma, April 23rd; Arizona, April 24th; Missouri, April 28th; and the Phillips faction in Georgia on April 28th. POLITICAL POT PIE Sheriff J. M. Byers of San Diego County, so they say, will make the race for Congress in the 11th Congressional District which comprises San Diego, Impala, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. This will be welcome news to the Colored Republicans of this district. The incumbent Congressman Swing has never been able to see them much less to give them any political recognition or consideration. Sheriff Byers is a broad gaged, high class citizen who is the friend of the people and if he decides to run should receive 100 per cent support from our group. Governor Friend Richardson was in town for a few days this week looking things over so that he will be in a position to make a few more new judges. The Governor looks due and is as congenial and democratic as ever. We have for the Governor a high personal regard but we have just kept up our demand for recognition and will continue to do so until our change comes. We are giving him due credit for the consideration which he gives to our good friend and fellow citizen, W. E. Easton and we say that Mr. Easton is worthy of all the consideration which can be bestowed upon him. We have not for many mpoons witnessed such inactivity leading up to a campaign for delegate to a National Convention and we rise, to inquire from the leaders. What's the matter? Look out for combinations on the Superior Court Judges and don't leave Judge Ira Thompson out on any of them. Police Judy, Hugh J. Crawford has announced that he will he a candidate for a place on the bench of the superior Court and take it from us he will let them all know that he is in the race. Charlie Olivier who has been in usually working on this page of the California Ease left on last Tuesday for Washington, D.C. It will be about about ten or twelve days. He goes on a business trip the nature of which he did not reveal. Church politics are very busy in some quarters just now. But in so far as California is concerned we are satisfied that we have too much of that sort of religion and we don't want any more of it. If it is again thrust upon us we are going to talk right out in church. THE RESURRECTION THE RESURRECTION By Dr. C. P. Jones Answering letter from J. L. Steward, 922 Pacific Avenue, Algiere, La. Text John 11:23:27. The subject of the resurrection is one on which there has been many differences of opinion. But is this not true of every religious doctrine? But on every subject the word of God is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, Isa. 8:20. There is no light in us unless we speak according to the word, Ps. 119. DEATH ABOLISHED Notice first that the Holy Spirit declared by Paul to Timothy that Jesus "hath abollsight death and hath brought life and immortality to light thru the gospel." Him T. 1:20. Notice that it does not say that He will abollsight death, but He hath abollsight it. So then really in Him there is no death. All is life. And what seems death is only sleep. And resurrection is only an awakening out of sleep. He that believeth hath everlasting life. Jn. 3:26. Do not His words at the grave of Lazars agree with this? I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth on Me shall never die. I have live; and whosoever liveth and believeth on Me shall never did. I have quoted the revised version which translates a little more faithfully the Greek in which Jesus spoke. One can see several things here— 1. The all-in-all ass of Christ. No resurrection apart from Him. "I am the resurrection." No life apart from Him. John 14:6; Phil 1:21-24; Gal. 2:20. 2. Next we see that the believer may die, (in a sance), but he shall not live. This bespeaks the final resurrection of all who "die in the Lord." Rev. 14:13, 1 Cor. 15. 3. It also bespeaks the fact that their spirits never die. Mark 12:28, 27. All live unto God, glorious thought. Luke 29:28. 3. The translation. Enoch never died, but inherited glory in a translated body and spirit. Heb 11:5, 6. So with Elijah. Here was the larger triumph of faith. These were, as it were, types or forswearers of a church, shall be engaged in an engagement in the twinkling of an eye. Whoever CALVIN CO second time without sin unto salvation See I Thessalonians 4:13-18; "But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that fall among us, that we sorrow not even in others that have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them that are fallen alive in Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel and with the trump of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up into the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord." Especially delightful at this season when the mountains are garbing themselves for Spring.—5 Trains Daily from Main St. Station, Los Angeles 8.9.10 A.M.1:30 and 4.P.M. There Shall My Servants Be We see by the foregoing that all shall not die; but that those who are alive when the Lord comes shall meet Him in the clouds and in the air. We see that He in His coming will have each the earth realm, for He will be not in the far away bleak 'heavens of the stars', but in the earth's atmosphers among the clouds. Those who are alive enjoying the translation shall meet Him there. For where the carcase is there shall the eagles be gathered together. Matt. 24:28. But we see also the dead shall arise—the dead in Chist. The resurrection of the wicked is mentioned elsewhere, but here the Spirit is speaking of His own. The Lord is speaking of His saints. His body. Two Resurrections The Bible teaches two resurrections, that of the just and that of the unjust. John 5:24:29; Acts 24:15; Rev. 20. CONNER-JOHNSON & COMPANY UNDERTAKERS AND FUNERAL DIRECTORS Whose Courteous Treatment and Polite Service Please Those They Serve. There are those who talk of an "out resurrection" and a "better resurrection", as the Body of Christ should arise in Sections. Such 1 fear, have not properly discerned the body of Christ, but have just followed plious notion. So doing we may become the authors and frequently the strenuous advocates of all sorts of vagaries. THE CAR The Undivided Body But when Jesus arose and He was the first fruits of the resurrection, He did not arise in sections. When the head came from the grave so did the little toe and the little finger. Also our baptism teaches us this. We shall all, being members of Him, He being our life, rise at once and walk with Him in the newness of a glorious resurrection of life. Ro. 8. The creature shall then be born in the glorious uberty of the sons of God. Literally True Some refer these things merely to spiritual and moral conditions. They say there will be and can be no libera resurrection. Such are, maybe, wonderful talgs, but they are poor believers. All things are possible to him that believeth. Mk. 9:24, 24. The just shall live by faith. David said hate thoughts. Faith is victory (1 John 5:1-2), and they who believe enter into rest. Heb. 4. Believe God and He will do what He said, not what some one imagines that He meant. Everything predicted concerning Jesus was fulfilled literally. So shall these things concerning the resurrection be. He speaks and it is done. Ps. 23. EQUIPPED WITH OUR OWN HEARSE AND SEVEN ASSENGER CAR, WE ARE PREPARED TO DO SERVICE THAT WILL SATISFY. We invite the public to visit and inspect our Parlors and complete Show Rooms. Of what shall follow the resurrection of the unjust upon earth, we are informed in the Revelation 21 and 22 and Psalm 37. Read them and be wise. D. C. MITCHELL W. J.

On last Friday evening the members and friends of Second Baptist Church met in a reception in honor of their pastor and wife, Rev. and Mrs. Chas, B. Dones, who will soon leave the city and church. A most splendid program was rendered after which freshments of brick ice cream, home-made crackers and coffee are served. One of the many addresses and papers given in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Dunes is the following read by Mrs. Jessie Taylor, president of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. Mistress of, Ceremonies, visitors and friends, and women of the Missionary Society of Second Baptist Church:—With regret will try to write upon this important subject. Sister Dones, the secretary of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, and general Christian worker, arriving in this city about two years ago, after meeting and getting acquainted with Sister Dones. I found her to be a sweet Christian character. She tried to make everything pleasant for me as a Christian. I found her in church work in every department of the church, trying to make the church work a success as all pastor's wives should do. After being here a short time I was elected president of the Women's Work. Sister Dones was elected secretary and all during my term Sister Dones was to me what Aaron was to Moses. I found in her so much consolation and good advice, so much consolation and good advice, lead as a successful president, and would so many time talk the matter over with Sister Dones. She would give such good advice, until after praying. I would find our work moving on nicely. After I had served one year Sister Freeman was elected president. Sister Dones was re-elected secretary. She proved to be a faithful secretary through that term. Then I was elected president again. Sister Dones was re-elected secretary again, and of, how faithful she has been until tonight. What a companion she has been to me and what a help to the society. Will we miss her? I can readily say yes. She will be missed in our church work, in our society, in our prayer meetings, yes, from the choir. She was a Dorcas to Redlands, as Dorcas was to Joppa in her Christian work. We ask the prayers of each and every one that the Lord may send another such Christian worker in our church as Sister Dones. In prayer meeting every Wednesday evening with her two little children. When it seemed too bad for us to come, it was just right for Sister Dones. There to mingle her voice and prayers with us. In every department she was there to play her part well. Her burden, never seemed too heavy for her. Never complaining, always accepting whatever was put on her to do. We wanted to see Sister Dones play with us, and she will Level to send her to another field of labor. Rev. J. H. Jones, of Pueblo, Cole, prescheduled at the A. M. B. Church both morning and evening two very fascinating sermons. Rev. M. G. Harris, of Yuma, Arizona, was the speaker at Second Baptist Church Sunday. Rev. Chds. B. Dones made a trip to San Diego Saturday night where he filled the pulpit at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church both morning and evening. SEATTLE NEWS Great crowds turned out last Sunday morning and evening to hear Rev. Jones speak. He is the pastor of the A. M. E. Church and it was a splendid lesson. At each service the Rev. Jones is indeed quite interesting. If you fail to hear him you certainly miss a treat. Mr. O. J. Denward of 753 Eighth st. Los Angeles, Calif., spent the week of March 16th in our city on his return from the East, enroute to his home in California. He was quite welcome in our city and the gang sure hated to see him leave so soon. We all tried to make it pleasant for him during his stay. Something new for him every evening, Dances, whist parties and regular gentleman parties, etc. and we all hope he will return and ask us. Eddie Gardner went away and he didn't say where, and he didn't say what. Anyway, use your own judgment. If you want some real good dope for dolling up your hair see C. L.

NCE! --- (From the Associated Negro Press) ST. Louis, Mo. May 25—If the world of bachelors will just keep quiet for a minute, the public applauded colored residents of this city would like to rise as one and comment on the query as to whether the Negro as a race, is learning, or has learned, to look after his own—to give, even to the danger point, in support of worthy institutions dedicated to his benefit. S. Louis wants to get a word in before a final vote is taken. This city believes the world may have heard in an offhand way of how its Negroes rallied and subscribed $60,000 toward the $27,100 building for the Young Men's Christian Association up on Pine street. But the town is fearful that outsiders will think that grand work was a drowning man's effort, the last, fatal tug. Its citizens are now offering for consideration and comment (and for emulation by other Negro communities) another $60,000 subscription they have made toward the establishment of the Colored Orphans' Home. Sixty thousand dollars were subscribed in a seven-day drive and over thirty-eight thousand dollars have been paid in already. The public spirit of colored residents of St. Louis has thus made an institution valued at $120,000, designed to fill a charitable purpose, the taking care of the orphans of this city and vicinity. One of the reasons St. Louis may take the lead in such affairs is probably because of the active part of its greatest benefactors, (or, rather, a pair of its greatest benefactors) takes Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Malone, the famous Poro people, never miss an opportunity to help and to boost. The Colored Orphans' Home was established a good many years ago. It struggled along from one place to another season after season until its hackers became seized with a desire to see the Negroes of the city get behind it and see what they could do. An appeal was made. Mr. and Mrs. Malone stared the ball rolling, started it rolling to a definite, practical goal. They purchased and deeded over to the home a $10,000 building site. That meant that other folks had to get busy. The building site cried out aloud that it wanted to be useful. Then came the giant subscription to put the site to work. A building has been constructed and furnished and in this later work, Mr. and Mrs. Malone have also taken an active financial and spiritual part. Only recently the employees and students of Poro college united in an evening's entertainment the proceeds of which went to the home. Accomodations are now available for 100 orphans. The home is located at the intersection of Goode, Kennerly and Cottage avenues, facing the Tandy playground and Summer high school. It contains play rooms, manual training and domestic science departments, locker rooms, laundry, store store rooms, auditorium, offices, dormitories, a pure milk station, a free clinic, a circulating library, rooms for mothers, class reams, a day nursery, ad everything else to make it the equal of any such institution in America from the standpoint of service. nualneff, erlymma miniform chapia w The Home is strictly a non-sectarian, charitable institution to which all orphans, half orphans and neglected children may be sent and cared for free of charge when they have no one to pay for any part of their maintenance. St. Louis colored citizens have made it possible, in a pure spirit of charity and self-help. Circulars addressed to some of the people who gave included this quotation: "I shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now." And if they don't do it now, they are being urged to provide for so worthy an institution, guaranteed $18,000 this year from the Community chest, in their wills. From the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C. March 25.—Congress recently struck out from Howard University appropriation the items, designed to take care of an improved and enlarged medical school which had been recommended by Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work-Mr. Work called attention to Howard's position on the only college, save one, for colored physicians and dentists. In his annual report to President Coolidge made the 12th of this month, he explains: "The recommendations were made after an investigation showing that the colored population of the United States has increased to nearly 12,000,000 and that there is only one colored physician to 3,194 persons, while the white race has a physician to every 553 citizens thus raising an important issue in the Negro inhabitants. The disparity is even greater in the proportion of white and colored dentists. Statistics show that there is one white dentist to every 2,470 white people in the United States, while there is but one colored dentist to every 20,500 colored persons. only a very minor number of medical doctors and dentists are completing the courses study past of the Morgan University, the first university member of physical dentistry. For the past ten years being 80 while the number of dentists averaged 42. Relative ability for the discipline is attributed to the illimitation of old youths to study medicine and dentistry and education them as professors but to the adaphrastic institution and the capacity of colored educational institutions. During the fall term of Howard University we need 485 physicians for admission to its medical school. Out of this number but 60 could be admitting to take the course because of the inadequacy of laboratory space, the number rejected being 115. The appropriation presented to Congress insured $755,000 for a new building and $120,000 for equipment. Mrs. Sadie J. Anderson, in company with her husband, Major J. W. Anderson of Cleveland, Ohio, is spending the winter in our city for the benefit of her health. Mrs. Anderson is a statistical secretary of the Women's Parent Mite Missionary Society of the A.M. E. Church. While here she is visiting the different Missionary Societies of the city and surrounding towns, speaking and giving encouragement to the missionary workers. She has travelled extensively through Africa, and is giving many interesting facts of her travels, especially through the Holy Lands. On the 27th of February Mrs. Anderson was the honored guest of Missionary Society of First Church of Pasadena. An all day meeting was this meeting was largely attended and was indeed interesting and inspiring. During the morning, the Conservation Services were held followed by the regular monthly program. During the noon hour a repast was served only as Pasadena can serve, and in the afternoon Mrs. Anderson was the speaker. Her subject: "Paying the price" was well received. March 2nd, Mrs. Anderson was the speaker at the Furlong Tract Second Church. March 9th a wonderful meeting was held at Duarta. This was indeed an inspiring and spiritual meeting. There were many visitors from Monrovia and Pasadena. On the evening of March 9th, Mrs. Anderson was the speaker at West Side Mission under the auspices of the Missionary Society, Mrs. Ella Braxton, President. The interesting feature of this meeting was singing by a chorus of children, directed by Mrs. Gladien. March 16th, Mrs. Anderson spoke at San Bernardino in the evening at Riverside before a large and appreciative audience. The singing of the young people of te different churches of the city under the direction of Mr. Williamson is an interesting feature. Monday afternoon, March 23rd, Mrs. Anderson was the guest of the Missionary Society of Watts. Mrs. J. W. Pride, President. After the devotional services, the monthly program was taken up, followed by an elaborate reap. In the evening Mrs. Anderson spoke before a large and appreciative audience. The singing of the choir under the direction of Prof. Eggleston was indeed inspiring. They featured folk songs. Mrs. Anderson was accompanied on her visit to the various missionary societies by the conference branch president, Mrs. A. T. Washington. She will soon leave for her home in the East, and the missionary workers will take on new life by having heard her many inspirations talks on the missionary work. May she leave us with the conscious feeling she has tried to do that which the Lord would have her do. The Sweet Sixteen Club met at Miss Anita Monroe's home, 2620 Leta street, on March 24th, with Miss Marcia Trutta as the visiting guest. The refreshments were enjoyed by everybody, and all present had a lovely time. The club will meet again on March 31st, at Miss Mary Mineleton's home. (Continued from last week) Wednesday was work day, for the Lincoln League of America. The process and fireworks had proceeded amid scenes of enthusiasm and splendor. All of the great figures in our national life had passed in review, and Wednesday all of the forces settled down to business and the real work which called the body together was under way. The committee on credentials reported and its report was adopted. The special committee to wait upon National Chairman John T. Adams, headed by the Hon. Oscar Deblief reported. Their work was approved. The Committee on the admission of women to the membership in the League reported and its report admitting them was unanimously adopted. It was also recommended that a woman as National Committeeman from each state be elected which recommendation was also adopted. The Hon. Benjamin Davis, of Atlanta, Ga., known as the fighting editor, introduced a resolution ni reference to the Hon. Lincoln Johnson taught him the permitting him to dissuade the Committeeman from Georgia and take refuge which brought him conditions at the Veterans Hospital at Tennessee etc. This resolution was grimly contested and was the scorny patrol of the meeting. Most all of the delegates took part in this debate which wanted furious. It was referred to a special committee which turned it down to some extent and it was brought before the body again for decision. Benjamin Jefferson Davis hard for its adoption and Henry Lincoln Johnson added his weight in its favor. Yet Homer Phillips of St. Louis leading the fight against its adoption would not yield. The gentleman from California raised the point of no quotum, and this for a time set things in confusion, when after a conference with leaders the point of order was withdrawn and the resolution was passed. The committee on address made a report which was unanimously adopted. This address to the Country was widely published and of course readers have no doubt are this writing perused the same quite thoroughly. The election of officers resulted in the re-election of the same principal officers. The Hon. Robert Church declined to head the Executive Committee for another term, but remains as a member of the committee. The accomplishment and the manner in which things have come to pass both before and since this great convention, tells the story of the usefulness of the Lincoln League. With a short session on Thursday the work of the session was completed, and the 1924 session of the body This writer was not equal to the task of riding the two horses at one time, therefore we were unable to attend the sessions of the Sanhedrin before Thursday, although this body had been in session since Monday. However, we saw fitting back and forth from the League to the Sanhedrin many who proved themselves adepts at the art or riding the two horses. We finally found our way o the Auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. where the Sanhedrin was in session and to the officials made our mission known, and what we represented and we take it we were duly recorded. Being a tardy representative we of course were not wise to everything going on, but we caught the drift of things, by our watchful waiting policy. There was a vast difference between the two meetings, the Lincoln League was a purely political proposition. It met and did politics and adjourned. The Sanhedrin was not called a political gathering, and of course was supposed to steer clear of all political activities. There are those who say it didn't, but it was supposed to do so just the same. Anyhow this gathering had been called that all factions of the race might come together for agreeing upon a program, a platform as it were, from which all could go forward without overlapping or breaking ranks in a battle for common weal. We of course, were curious to know why, if such was the case, was not the meeting running opposition to another great meeting? It was in session at the same time of the Lincoln League and the League meeting could not be held at any other time than Lincoln's birthday, because its constitution so provides, and to our mind while, it was announced as a get together movement, they were starting out with a practicable demonstration as to how not to function together. Many Lincoln League men however, were friendly with the Sanhedrin and vice versa. It was discouraging to those who really wanted to attend the deliberations of both bodies. It is a condition which should never have existed, and we hope will not obtain at future meeting of there be any. This was the first effort along this line and of course allowances are to be made. At this first session we attended labor was making an effort to be heard and as often did the presiding officer tell labor that no place had been provided for them. But a young laborer, Woodhouse, we believe his name, would not be denied and forcibly out manouvred the presiding officer and got in his say for labor and he received a great hand. Our condensed impression of he Sanhedrin was that it failed in making up its program to consider the average every day man and woman of the race. That it furnished a stage and setting for the seekers of the lime light to the exclusion of the elements upon which the race must depend for its future progress. The preacher, the professional man, the educator, was prolific to the exclusion of the very forces which go to build a race, namely, he toiler and the producer from the soil of the earth. Our program has been made was the cry. To our mind the program of production and of toll is never out of order and maless this program is heard we are out of order and no great unity will be possible at any time without a hearing for these great forces. With a mighty banquet fit for kings, princes and potentates, did the Saharin close on Friday night and if too adorned sine die. (To be continued next week.)

Daugherty, his only reason in doing so was that the constant wail and cry from frenzied Democrats and timorous Republicans has placed such a sham upon the Attorney General that he could not continue to defend himself properly and to care for the work of the Department of Justice, as it should be cared for at the same time. Legions of loyal friends are not alienated because of the campaigning of innuendo and hear-say dug up by such rattle-brained fanatics as Wheeler of Montana and are satisfied that Daugherty must be all right or else these dudes would at least dig up something against him. The members of our group will always appreciate him as a loyal, fair and square public official, who was willing that all men should have due recognition. The race has received more consideration and recognition under his regime in the cabinet than ever before in the history of our country.

Consequently carefully read and every effort made to have the aforementioned ordinance inserted if it has been scrapped in the new there is no assurance that the only feature of the old charter that is to be relegated to the scrap heap, will not be scrapped with the other ordinance that has not been enforced.

The N. A. A. C. P., whose confessed duty is to safeguard the interests of the colored people, should see to it that this ordinance, making punishable with a fine, jail sentence and loss of license to do business, have the aforementioned ordinance inserted. If it has been scrapped in the new charter to be voted on. Our lawyers never invoked this law and have always asked for damages. There is not a Negro hating concern in Los Angeles, but would rather pay paltry judgment advertising racial discrimination than go to jail or, above all things, have their license revoked. The new ordinance before it is submitted to vote should be city charter to be voted upon. HOMELY PHILOSOPHY—THE WINNER Paradoxical as it may appear, the winner is not always the best man. Often, among those who failed is one outstripping in many respects the laureled winner. What was wrong? Discouraged probably, his foot slipped perhaps and he felt the race lost; but was it? Something stopped him, he gave up, and then said to his pride, "I don't care!" But does he? Often a promising youth is taken from school because of illness or poverty at home, and then, when he may return, he will not—why? A foolish pride, immediate and shortsighted as the philosophy of youth generally employs; and thus, boys less nobly endowed with brain and brawn are crowned as winners on graduation day; they face life, to handicap the loss. On the other hand, the loser in the game drifts down stream usually and balms his pride with "I don't care". Sometimes the heroic character is met with who seems to letten on defeat: the "bloody buy unbowed" spirit, to him the cap is raised! Generally, defeat crushes, hides the sun and hills ambition unless one takes an immediate right about turn before he has drifted too far. Remember, the winner is not always the best man. Did you not start out to win? What stopped you? What restrains you? Pride? You know you have it in you to win! PROVE IT! GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON.

(We are glad to reproduce the following letter from the Belles Lettres Club----The Contributing Editor Townsend.) SELF-CONFLICT In an article appearing in the issue of a local contemporary for March 28, the Rev. A. P. Shaw, of Wesley Chapel, is quoted as admonishing his auditors not to believe everything they see in print. This refreshingly accurate observation of pulpit authority strikes us with such a sense of satisfaction that we feel obliged to record it here as being in flaming contrast with the attitude of that authority of another type in our midst masquerading under the name of Mr. "Jack Moonfixer" The Rev. Mr. Shaw, a man academically trained would, correctly, have us to examine the printed word for the purpose, we take it, of accepting those elements which are worthy from the finished standpoints of their grammatical, rhetorical and logical significance and rejecting those which obviously belong to the literary waste basket because they are ostensibly valueless by the same tests. Mr. "Jack Moonfixer" would have us accept his common sense philosophies in whatever manner he presents them because they bear the imprimatur of the unknown and unseen DIVINITY behind them. The conscious presence of our new literary mimic in Wesley Chapel, palpitating under the hammer of defiant critics and humorous spectators; a natural jealousy of his own authoritative thought and leadership must have reacted to influence the fighting instincts of the reverend gentleman who so honestly elected to defy those visible and invisible authorities alike of the printed word with the gratifying result that the truth deliberately emerged triumphant and Mr. "Jack Monfixer" is in danger of being consumed by his own persistent narrowmindedness, petty jealousies and prejudices! It looks like the doctrine of the rule which is sometimes eaten up by its own EXCEPTIONS! THE BELLES LETTRES CLUB University of Southern California April 2, 1924.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE has maintained from its inception an editorial page, which, by itself, would have made it one of the few really distinctive journals in America. Time after time it has struck the note of editorial independence and has not been afraid to stand alone in adopting policies which, in the opinion of its management, were best calculated to serve the interests of its subscribers. 2. THE EAGLE has maintained a reportorial staff which daily culls the earth for news in which every particular type of reader may profitably invest his interest. Selection, rather than indiscriminate quantity, has been the key-note of its columns; and it is interesting to note how other newspapers compare in regard to this. Some fill their columns with left-over, belated material cunningly dated on the day on which the newspaper is published: others, fall into the conscious error of publishing just one particular type of news, say, news of crimes and mob violence. But THE EAGLE has carefully steered around both of these selecting news on its timeliness, quality, appeal, importance and by offering a variety of types of news in everything of human interest and race welfare. 3. THE EAGLE has, as its sources of prestige, the best in modern equipment. It was the first newspaper in Los Angeles to install a linotype machine; and is the only newspaper plant in the city offering employment to Negro linotypers and pressmen. 4. To this may be added another source of prestige. It is represented throughout the East in general by a staff of reporters and in Washington in particular by Melvin M. Chism, field secretary of the National Negro Press Association. With these assets, THE EAGLE can proclaim, not in a spirit of affected braggadocia or self-esteem, but upon an accurate evaluation of its own worth, that it intends to lead in journalistic excellence and in championing those causes sacred to the interests of its subscribers and advertisers. COUNTER ATTACK In defiance to a storm of bitter protest and letters of indignation, Eugene O'Neill's new drama, "All God's Chillun Got Wings" is still nuder way. Rehearsals are going ahead and the play will be produced early in the spring. The objections raised to its production center around the white actress who has been selected to play opposite Paul Robeson, a Negro. To us it seems strange that anyone should object to a Negro taking the lead with a white woman in any play which truly and accurately reflects the spirit of Negro life. That spirit is an everlasting, a heroic, a praiseworthy spirit, and we are proud of it. It is strange that anyone would object because we have never objected—although it did not please us—to those productions both on the screen and on the stage in which Negroes have been engaged to play the part of "the black brute", a role which invariably calls on him to make an attack upon a white woman, only to be assailed in the usual stage or screen manner by a flowling mob. "The Birth of a Nation" strikingly illustrates the aforegoing. There are numerous others too well known to mention, but the object of chief importance is this, if we are to be represented in the white man's dramas as "black brute"—are presentation obviously uncompli- mentary to us—then why can't we uninterruptedly represent ourselves in more commendable themes? While both may call for certain close, cheek-to-cheek body-to-body physical formation, it is nevertheless as fair to us to represent ourselves in a more favorable way as it is for the other producer to represent us in circumstances which detract from our sobriety and ethical sanity. The historian is now, more than ever before, going to drama and fiction for his data. It has been found that both drama and literature afford excellent materials for a history because they reflect the spirit of the age in which they were written. It is eminently, then, a point of vantage to make a counter attack upon the already distorted views and concocted in-drama and fiction by Thomas Dixon and David Wark Griffith by flooding the literature and theatrical markets with such productions as may hallow rather than profane and dam us. The historian may then perhape refer to us as something more than "black brushes"—a reference indeed of which we shall not be afraid for our posterity to read about.

Church, March 2th, by Miss Carrie B-Trent, was one of the greatest and grandest Biblical plays that has ever been rendered, composed of 36 characters. From this wonderful play Phillips Chapel realized the sum of $202.78, which helped to make the women victorious women's day. Mrs. M. Wallace received first prize. It was 22 pounds of sugar. Miss Bessie Howard received the second prize, which was a seven pound ham. Now if you wish to put a program over like this, or better, why let Miss Trent render some of her original Dramas. Call upon her, she is a broad hearted young woman. She has helped us, and is willing to help others. Phillips Chapel is proud of this young Christian woman. She is a wonderful church worker and a young woman with higher ideals. So see her. 1384 E. 15th street. CARRIE HOPKINS On- Catholic Doctrine EVERY THURSDAY, 8 P. M. AT ST.

Releases Interesting Figures The annual report of the White Motor Company for 1923 shows that the company experienced the best year in its long history, and further strengthened its position as the leading manufacturer of high-grade trucks and buses, according to O. R. Fuller, president of the White Auto Company, Southern California White Truck distributors. The rapid expansion of the use of trucks and buses as essential units in the nation's transportation system is visualized by the White report. The company's gross sales for the year totaled $14,875,695, an increase of $11,608,380 or 31 per cent, over the 1922 record, and materially exceed the sales of any competitive producer. White's 1923 net profits amounted to $6,364,665. Detuning $2,000,000 paid in dividends, which have not been interrupted since the company's organization, a balance of $4,944,635 was carried to surplus, increasing this item to $9,425,739, slightly larger than in 1920. The cash position of White is shown to be exceptionally good. Notes payable for borrowed money were reduced from $2,000,000 in 1922 to $1,000,000 as of December 31, 1933. Cash stood at $2,347,491, and notes and accounts receivable at $3,749,320. The company continues to carry its notes receivable, none having been discounted. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities is six to one. The value of the company's finished trucks, finished parts, materials in process and raw materials and supplies was placed at $14,668,033 at the end of the year, an increase of $3,527,532 over the 1922 figure, and this inventory puts the company in an advantageous position to meet the heavy demands of spring business. $978,000,000 LOST BY THE PUBLIC LAST YEAR THROUGH THE EXCHANGE OF AUTOMOBILES. HAVE YOU SAVED ANY PORTION OF THIS LOSS THROUGH THE PURCHASE OF A GOOD USED Ridge Route To Be Made Safe Safety of travel over the Ridge Route, the State highway between Los Angeles and the San Joaquin Valley, will be increased by the expenditure of $24,000 during the next few months in "daylighting" ad widening curves and other similar work. This is the announcement of Highway Commissioner Nelson T. Edwards of Orange. The action authorizing the work was taken at the last meeting of the commission in Los Angeles. The day labor crew which has been at work with a power shovel widening the Mountain Springs-grade, on the San Diego-Yuma highway has about competed its work and will be moved to the Ridge Route. The proposed work has the hearty approval of Chairman Harvey M. Toy. Funds for financing the work will be taken from the motor vehicle fees and gasoline tax fund. Mr. Wm. Nickerson, local manager of the Los Angeles Benefit Association appeared on the avenue last week in a brand new Buick limousine.
