Colored Firemen In New Home TELEPHONE: 829-244 VOLUME 38 Colo LOS ANGELES BOASTS OF FINEST FIRE COMPANY AND BEST EQUIPPED FIRE HOUSE MANNED BY COLORE FIRE FIGHTERS IN THE UNITED STATES. With the abandonment of the Fire House on 1st and Belmont Sts., and the moving of the Colored contingent of fire fighters to the modernly equi- ped fire house at 14th and Central avenue and with the addition of 16 men to be same. Los Angeles easily outranks any other fire house or com- pany of fire fighters in the United States as the most up-to-date and modernly equipped station. This came to pass on last Wednesday when the boys were transferred to their new location. The Mayor and Fire Chief, Ralph J. Scott are to be complimented, and commended for this forward step and due recognition to faithful service. That these intrepid fire fighters will make good with their new opportunity goes without saying; all they want is a chance and after years of watchful waiting this chance has been granted unto them. Some years ago the Republican Protective League, headed by Wm. Qualls and Charles Olivier made a valiant effort to have this step brought about and failed to get the desired result, but created quite an agitation pro and con. In the last campaign, the California citizens Civic League in a circular letter in support of Mayor Cryer, claimed that if elected he would give another fire house to be manned by Colored firemen and that the force would be doubled and backed it up with figures. It is now a true prophesy as the matter now stands. Fire House No. 58 will be manned by 32 men, against 16 as heretofore. The people generally are much pleased with this new order of things and the Mayor and Chief of the Fire Department are spoken of very highly in the premises. A committee of citizens have informally arranged for a house-warming on next Wednesday night for felicitations and a royal welcome to the boys. The Mayor and Chief will be invited; refreshments will be served and music will play, also short speeches will be made by those who know how. The following is the roster of the officers and men at Fire House No. 58 at 14th and Central Ave.: Company 30: Captain, W. E. Hall; Engineer, J. L. Taylor; Auto Fireman, E. Edwards; Firemen: G. S. Bailey, Paul McCarty, W. R. Brown, H. A. Young, O. Brown. Engine 30: Lieutenant Walker; L. E. Washington; I. F. Wilson; H. C. Taylor; J. D. Reynolds; W. H. Moore; B. T. Hooks; H. C. Green. Truck No. 11: Lieut. A. H. Kyle; E. Freeman; C. L. McDainels; C. Shipp; C. M. Dean; J. E. Welch. Truck No. 11: Lieutenant H. A. Brown; LaFrancis Jordan; William T. Patterson; William M. Bitton; Samuel McDonald; William H. Boyd.

EXTRA! COUR Grand Concert And Jubilee Festival to the Los Angeles public who are lovers of music, art, wit, and humor, reserve on your calendar the date of June 23rd when M. Ed. Atkinson presents for the first time to a Los Angeles public Douglas Temple and Orchestra, the most popular Choir in the city, regardless of color. Assisted by many of the finest musicians and artists of the city. You will also hear Madam Della Ridgeway Brown, celebrated contralto from the East who ranks with the best of Chicago's most wonderful singers. Among the artists of our city who will participate are as follows: Mrs. A. C. Bilbrew who just a few nights ago so wonderfully delighted a crowd and enthusiastic house at Philharmonic Theatre. Mrs. Bilbrew will appear with Dunbar recitations as only she can present them. She will also appear with her Ladies' quartette who are now the town talk and truly they are "Harmony Queens". Next appears Mrs. Lottis Bolds Anderson and it doth not yet appear what she shall do, but we know that when she shall appear none will be like her for she is in a class all her own and I call her Lottie, the Versatile. We have also, Mrs. Naomi Farr, contralto, like in quality and sweetness unto the great Schumann Heinck. We also have the versatile men. Mr. Malcolm Patton who shall appear in grand opera selections, male choruses and etc. Shall wonders never cease? At the harmonic cord of the orchestra appears Miss Rowena Muckleroy, coloratura soprano prima dona of the evening. While Mrs. Bertha Sprulil with her dramatic and lyric tones will charm her hearers. Regardless to what is said and done about William T. Wilkins, there ain't but the one. The professor will appear as never before and in his unique way will delight the most fastidious. Among others of the special artists are Mr. Arthur F. Walker of Chicago, a silvery tone lyric tenor. Mr. Walter Allen, tenor robusto. Mrs. Leola Longress, soprano, whose voice is very pleasing and flute like. And Mrs. Lora McLaughlin, lyric soprano. Mrs. Zenobia Frierson, contralto; Mrs Elnora Howard, contralto. Mr. Wright, basso, and Prof. Howard, basso. Mrs Lucille Banton, head assistant teacher in the William T. Wilkins's School of Music, and accompanist of Douglas' Temple Choir will be at the piano assisted by little Miss Robert V. Edwards, a musical genius. Miss Stoart, a new resident of Pasadena, graduate of several of the best musical colleges of the East and now a student of U. S. G. will simply charm her hearers on that wonderful Philharmonic Pipe Organ. The able Professor Johnny Mitchell, violinist and director of a 25 on 30 piece orchestra, trained by himself for this occasion and composer of some of the best instrumentalists of the city. To miss this treat is to miss the greatest musical event ever presented to our group by any group. From Grand Opera up to the greatest music known to the world today: the Negro Spirituals. The inoculated Negro of the have scoffed at the mention of the Jubilee or Negro Spiritual. But the new Negro of today and especially of Douglas Temple is on the scenes to let Los Angeles know that the Negro Folk Song is about the only thing that the Negro has given to America. Other nationalities are proud of their folk lore, then why should the Negro be ashamed of his? The over educated musicians who have taken their seats in the pavilion of doxion, claim that there is too much ragtime or jazz in the juffle for their highly cultured taste. But permit me to inform that class that syncopation is but syncopation wherever found, in grand opera, comic opera, classical semi-classical and every class of music in which you will find syncopation. It is only the lyric or the motive behind the mucus that makes it rattle or jazz. Let us not gag at a grat and swallow a camel. I know that there are numerous worthy entertainments on but don't mistake this one. Note this one is M. Ed. Atkinson's Grand Concert and Jubilee Festival by Douglas Temple Choir and Orchestra, assisted by the best local and foreign talent. Monday Night, June 23rd at 8:15 sharp at Philharmonic Auditorium. The boxes and leges are about disposed of. The orchestra circle and balcony tickets can be secured through the following: Mrs. J. M. Scott of N. A. A. C. P. Mrs. James Slaughter, president of Sojourner Truth Home, 1448 E. 17th street. W. T. Wilkins, School of Music, 1325 Central Avenue. Miss Hulbert, Phone H. 3061-W. Mrs. A. C. Bibrow, Phone H. 4929-W. Douglas Temple, 1434 E. 21st street. M. Ed. Atkinson, 1442 E. 21st street. Clarence C. White Scores in L. A. One of the most unique musical programs staged in Los Angeles this season was the appearance of Clarence Cameron White with the Second Baptist Church. Wednesday Eventing, May 14th at Philharmonic Auditorium. Mr. White is a violinist of first rank. His stage manners are pleasing and his tones are mellow, but resonant. Upon this occasion each selectio ntold a story or painted a picture that lived with the audience through the evening performance until the final when he very impressively closed, unaccompanied with "Should Old Acquaintance be Forgot." Mrs. Luvenia Harper-Patterson was the accompanist for Mr. White. Mrs. Patterson is easily classed one of the best musicians in the city. Mme. Marie Overstreet Jackson was at home at Philharmonic for it was here alone that the superb quality of her voice had free play for the demonstration of pitch and range. Mme. A. C. Harris-Bilbrew, originator of The Bilbrew Ladies Minstrel, and Les Angeles' only interpreter of Dunbairn was at her best and brought down the house with applause. The Second Baptist Chorus was also in good shape and greatly pleased the audience with a high-class rendition. The Choir of the Second Baptist Church is to be commended and even praised for giving to Los Angeles such a high class evening entertainment. The program was as follows: Fantasie ..... Vleuxtemps Clarence Cameron White (a) Hallelujah Chorus, The Messiah (b) O Hail Us Ye Free The Choir, assisted by local talent Eula Myers at the piano 2. (a) Romance .....

F., WITH DRILL UNE 2nd.—AT ARION Will Build Missionary Training School (Special to the Cal. Eagle) Nashville, Penn. May 20: Definite plans for raising the twenty-five thousand and dollars necessary to make final payment on the National Baptist Theological and Missionary Training Seminary located in this city was made by Doctor John E. Wood of Danville, Kentucky, President of the National Baptist Convention who was here yesterday in conference with Dr. David E. Overr of Denver, Colo. The special Field Representative of the Convention and President of the School and local ministers and pastors who have been supporting the school. Doctor Wood states that the property valued at more than One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars was the first and nly National Theological and Missionary Training Seminary to which the Negroes of the United States held title and which would be owned, controlled and operated by them. Five other definite phases of work to be accomplished by the National Baptist Convention at its Chicago session were outlined at this Conference. They are to be further enlarged at the Executive Board Meeting to be held in Cincinnati, Ohio, June Eleventh to the Sixteenth, while the Sunday School Congress is in session there. President Wood was assured that there would be three hundred Nashville representatives to leave this city on a special train next September to attend the National Baptist Convention that will be held in Chicago, Ills. . September 10th to 15th when all of these plans will be turned over to the Convention making the final payments and making the property safe to the Negro Baptist and their posterity. Leaving the home of Lincoln early on Saturday morning we arrived at the Mound City, St. Louis, Mo. at 8:30 A.M. M. After a short stay down in the city we were on our way for the first time to visit the far-famed Poro College. Arriving there we were aweed by the magnificence and splendor of this great institution, but wended our way on the inside and still we marveled. We asked for the manager and were soon met by a very courteous amiable and dignified gentleman whom we later learned to know as Mr. C. E. McDaniels and he in turn discerned that the proprietor, Mrs. Malone would surely desire to welcome us and saw that we were immediately in her presence. The sincere welcome and cordiality with which she greeted us was refreshing, as well as assuring to the highest degree. She explained to us the absence of Mr. Malone and bade us welcome on behalf of both of them. She called forward the office heads and introduced us as their friend from California and added the instruction that nothing at Poro College was too good for us. And then we felt good again and we were indeed proud to have the good will and genuine hospitality of this noble woman who was all appreciation for the humble efforts which we made toward making their recent trip to our Western shores a pleasant one. Finally Mrs. Malne instructed the General Manager, Mr. McDaniels, to take the day off and put at our disposal her own chauffeur and limousine with the admonition to make our stay a pleasant one. We were assigned to one of the choicest rooms of the Poro College Hotel and told to stay as long as we liked. Mr. McDaniels saw to it that we were able to go to every place of in- terest possible in the short space of time which we of course could spare in St. Louis and we of course felt honored and appreciation was all ours to both Mrs. Malone and her very efficient and amiable manager. THE PORO COLLEGE We had heard much, read more and had related to us by Mr. and Mrs. Malone and others about the wonderful Poro Institution. Let us assure our readers the half has never been told. To appreciate Poro College one must needs tage a visit to this wonderful institution. Words are insufficient to convey the beauty, grandeur and the real mission this hive of nidustry is filling. With its various ramifications in the manufacture of Poro products and the force which it requires for the upkeep of this magnificent structure. Mrs. Malone is indeed a busy woman attending personally to the needs of the nidustion and looking out at all times for the welfare of the community. We regretted very much the absence of Mr. Malone during our short visit, for we appreciate most highly his worth and the keen interest he takes in all matters which tend for the uplift of humanity: to meet him is to appreciate him. And to know him is to visualize the intense fervor which permeates his soul in the effort to do the things worth while for the advancement of the race. In company wittie Mr. McDaniels we visited the big Y. M. C. A., met the officials and our old friend, Mr. Leon Stewart who for a time was in charge of the boys work of the Y. M. C. A. of this city. Mr. Stewart holds the same position in the Big St. Louns in institution and is rendering yeoman service in the work. He presented us to Mrs. Sewar whom we found to be a most amiable person and much in love with her husband and his aspirations. She is just the type of womanhood that those who know Mr. Stewart would expect him to select and this explains to his friends just how she looks and where we bade them adiew with beaming countenances we left most certainly a happy couple of newlyweds. METHODISTS OR UNIFICATION AGAINST LYNCHING (By The Associated Press) Springfield, Mass., May 20.—The General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, now in session in the heights of its quadrennial session here believes in going on record. The record of the Methodist Episcopal Church is one of human opportunity on Christian principles, according to observations dating back to John Wessley. Albeit, there, now and then, arises a small element to "throw a monkey wrench in the wheels", the denomination, is one of world power, and is always counted upon to take high ground. The recent vote for unification is an instance. It is called by those who backed the movement, of years standing. "Christian Idealism". It is interesting to study the Methodist doctrines in the making. As interesting as is the United States Congress, it is not more so than a General Conference, onr is it more minutely organized. In fact, with more than a thousand delegates from all over the world, the Conference gets "things ever" in better fashion than, at least, the present Congress and it is not filling the newspapers with so called investigations. Of the thirteen votes cast against unification between the church North and the Church South, only two were colored. S. M. Strayhorre, of the Tennessee Conference, and William J. Echols of the Central Alabama, Leaders, f the church like Dr. I. Garland Penn, J. W. E. Bowew, Ernest Lyon, John R. Redmond, W. A. C. Hughes, and many others, including the Bishops Scott, Jones, and Clair, favored the unification program of the church. They are all willing, according to investigations by The Associated Negro Press, to put the test of Christianity and sincerity of purpose up to both the church North and the church South. From the practical viewpoint, although it will take, according to estimate, from four to twenty years, to get the undertaking in a practical, working basis, the dream of the leaders of unification is a General Conference of the varied Methodist bodies, at which time churches North, South, A. M. E., C. M. E., A. M. E. Z., and the racial group within the Methodist Church will all meet at the esame time and at the same place, and transact business according to the needs and purposes of the various divisions. The great session of the Colored Conferences, here in Springfield, which time, fraternal delegates from the A. M. E., C. M. E, and A. M. E. Zon Church were present was held Saturday night at the magnificent auditorium, the seat of the General Conference, and the session presided over by Bishop Robert E. Jones, of New Orleans. The ramifications of the Colored delegates in the various committees and the honors conferred upon them by the General bodies, brings out the importance of the contact, and the value that will again come to Colored America when men of the group are in both houses of Congress, and sit as judges on the bench. Bishop Hartzell, venerable, white-haired, and still active, who gave twenty years of his life to Africa, as well as work here in America; Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield, a former President of Howard University, and a former Bishop of the area presided over by Bishop Jones are among the stalworts of the church who have great faith for the future of colored America. Bishop Clair is to be given an Episcopal residence in the United States, and a number of the conferences here, as well in Liberia. Thers will not be another Colored bishop elected at the present General Conference, but one is certain of being elected in 1928. The reaction from the war activities, is making the church economize, and cut down all episcopal areas in many respects. According to present plans, tho not finally decided at this writing, the Episcopal committee will recommend the residence of Bishop Clark to be in Covington Ky. There has been opposition to this from northern Methodists. On the question of lynching, the General Conference came out strongly in support of the Dyer Anti-Lynching measure. The resolution was presented by Rev. Morris, a minister of the North Carolina Conference. The resolution as carried was, "Whereas the constitution of the United States is opposed to lynchning, and whereas, the Methodist Episcopal Church has through the Federal Government opposed whiskey, and whereas, lynchning is destructive to our Democratic form of Government, and whereas, there is now a bill before. Congress known as the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. Be is resolved that we, the representatives of the Methodist Episcopal Church in General Conference, Assembled, request our Board of Bishops to appoint a Special Committee of five, two of whom shall be bishops to study the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill an dsend a definite communication to the President of the United States, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of of the House of Representatives, expressing the attitude of the Methodist Episcopal Church on this bill." Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Dorsey and family of Columbus, O., are recent additions to Los Angeles ever growing population. Mr. Dorsey, durinig his residence in the East, where he was born, was associated with various race enterprises. Coming direct from Columbus, O., where he occupied the position of Mgr. of the Poplar Fourth Gas and Coal Co., his wife also engaged in the catering business for over 18 years as a member of the firm of Foley & Scott. They are stopping at the residence of Mrs. K. Bass, 1351 No. 36th Place. $2.00 THE YEAR NO. 4 Home Los Angeles Girl In The East To the Editor and staff of the California Eagle comes greetings of the California musical artist's wonderful success in Chicago in the musical world.

NO SUPERIOR RACE, SAYS O'NEILL New York City, May 20.—(By the Associated Negr Press) Engenee O'Neill, playwright, author of "Emporor Jones" and of "All God's Chilien Got Wings", this latter play has provoked a storm of criticism because of the situations in it which provoke American white prejudice, has come out with the statement that he does not believe in the prevalent superiority idea that whites nurse in regard to other races. In reply to a question from a representative of a "New York newspaper" as to whether he did not think the white race superior to the black, O'Neil asserted: "Spiritually speaking, there is no superiority between races. We're just a little ahead mentally as a race, though not as individuals." Regarding the critics of my play O'Neill opined: "The persons who have attacked my play have given the impression that I make Jim Harris a symbolical representatives of his race and Ella of the white race—that by uniting then I urge intermarriage. Now Jim and Ella are special cases and represent no one but themselves. Of course, the struggle between them is primarily the result of the influence in their racial heritage. It is their characters, the gap between them and their struggle to bridge it which interests me as a dramatist, neither else. I didn't create the gap, that vage—it exists. And members of her races do struggle to bridge it we love. Whether they should or not be in my play." ARREST WHITE WOMAN FOR HITTING NEGRO Memphis, Tenn., May 20.—By the Associated Negro Press) Mrs. M. M. Briggs, manager of the Black Cat Café has been arrested on charges of less driving in connection with an incident in which Wiley Jones 60, struck. Jones is ni a serious criminal suffering from a fractured skull, white woman in said to have been sitting at a high rate of speed when rounded a corner and struck who was standing near the cushion. MONDAY EVENING Thus Alexander, militant Democrat, left on Thursday for Baltimore where he will attend the Convention of the Negro National Democratic party. Titus is a strong booster for McAdoo and will use his best endeavor in his behalf. He will remain until the big Democratic National Convention adjourns in New York City. The Citizensg Civic League went on record at its last meeting as endorsing the school bonds to be voted on at the June election. Sidney P. Dones headquarters reports much encouragement for his candidacy and that support is assured from all sections of the 73rd Assembly district. Judge Ira Thompson's backers are legion. Everywhere you can see a judge Thompson booster. Booker T. Washington, Jr., is reported to be a seeker for Assembly-manic honors from the 74th assembly district. No Cathops will be in order or will they go over down in the 74th District without due and timely notice. If the thimble riggers and fixer shink so they will have another thought coming. Deputy District Attorney Jones seems to be a prime favorite for Judge at this writnig. Wood Wilson says that he is rearing to go and will back a winning ticket at the winning ticket at the August primaries. Governor Richardson has not to date seen fit to recognize in any tangible manner the very group which caused him to receive the nomination for governor, and as time is a fleeting thing it begins to look dubious as to whether he will ever do so. Major George Cryer looms up on the horizon as fit timber for gubernatorial honors and no doubt would make a strong showing should he decide to make the race two years hence. Sheriff W. s Praeger, the proposal of the Native Sons for Governor and they claim they will back him to the limit. What we want to see is a governor who will recognize all groups of our citizenship in that high office. We were satisfied that either Mayor Crayer or Sheriff Trager will be an improvement in this respect over any occupant in that office in the last decade. A PLÉASANT TRIP TO CASTAIC COUNTRY CLUB SUB-DIVISION Last Sunday, I availed myself of an invitation extended by F. L. Banks to visit the location of the Castaic Country Club Subdivision. I particularly noted the excellent paved highway up to and within one mile of the club grounds. The trip through the green and fortile San Fernando Valley affords many natural scenes of rare beauty. From the office of the EAST-SIDE REALTY COMPANY, 1437 Central avenue, to the club grounds the speedometer registered forty-two (42) miles which required one hour and thirty-five minutes through unusually heavy highway traffic. CLUB HOUSE SPOT The exact spot selected for the pro posed club house seems to have been made to order as it is surrounded with oak and cotton wood trees, supported by the majestic grandeur of a moun tain back ground, and commands a wonderful view of the valley below, a know of no place better suited for pic nicking, hiking and horse back riding. I actually saw several deer tracks quail and rabbits seem to be plentiful. There is plenty of rolling level ground in the valley for the Golf course, with natural hazards. WATER I found water in the well that is now on the grounds and drank water from two springs near the club house location. There is all indication of developing several artesian walls or water may be pumped I nabundance from Castaic Creek, which is nearby. CONSTANT MOUNTAIN BREEZE The most interesting thing that attracted my attention was the pure mountain breeze that seems to fan and soothe you into a perfect state of relaxation. I went there with the intention of seeing everything to be seen and I made a good job of it, as I hiked over the mesas, rolling hills, mountain ridges and back down into the canyon dolls and valley below, which is spotted with trees. In other words, I made a complete circle of the entire two hundred forty acres. There were some spots from which a landscape artist could no doubt have drawn beautiful pictures. Most of the ground can be used for ideal cabin site lots, and told of many interesting and natural scenes fruit or Charlie Curtis Sugar 10 lbs----84 cts. Quart, Mazola Oil 44 cts.

The trip was certainly an unexpected pleasant surprise and the kind of a visit that is so important. APOSTOLIC FAITH CHURCH 1122 E. 33rd street Eld. Wm. Carson, Pastor Sister Wm. Borden, Evangelist Services were well attended all day, Sunday School was very interesting. Our two new teachers, Brothers Frank and Wm. Borden, showing great interest in their classes. At 11:00 o'clock services, Sister Borden, Evangelist, brought to us a message from Acts 19:2. "And he said unto them, have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed." Her message was forcible. At 7:30 p. m. praise service was led by our sister, and great glory rested upon all present, as one young mannan came forth for Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ according To Acts 2:38, and was filled with the Holy Ghost, as he went into the water, and came out speaking as that spirit gave utterance. Brother Jackson then with much demonstration and power spoke to us from Acts 1:8. But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come. We extend, to you the invitation to worship with us next Sunday. Midweek service each night except Monday and Saturday. Prayer meeting Thursday 10:30 p. m. to 2:00. All are welcome. METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH 37th and Paloma Streets M. C. Carter Both spiritual and intellectual were the services held at Metropolitan Sunday past. The Pastor described very beautiful the happiness and prosperity of the Godly and on the other hand the failure and destruction of the ungodly at the evening services. Rev. I. N. Whitten, one of our assistant pastor filled the pulpit and preached with force from the subject "A Reasonable Proposition". The pastor will fill the pulpit at both services Sunday. A cordial welcome is extended to all to worship with us on our Second Anniversary, June 1st. 3:00 p. m. Rev. Eldridge o Trinity Baptist Church will preach and his wonderful choir will furnish music. Mrs. Jennie Bishop of San Jose District Grand Most Noble Governor of the Household of Ruth was a visitor to The Eagle office this week. She was accompanied by Mrs. Eliza Warner, Secretary of the Endowment department of that order. Part of the Eagle force, headed by the editor, with Mr. S. G. Hamilton,ino operator and Adolphus Jones, apprentice journeyed to San Diego last Friday where they spent the week end. J. E. Fennell, D. D. S., of Washington, D.

The importance of the message they will deliver, coupled with the sincerity of their purpose, justifies a large response on the part of the people of Los Angeles, to the efforts this group of young college men is putting forward in urging the colored youth of the country to seek intellectual development. It is hoped that the church will be filled to capacity Sunday to heed the message and to encourage them in their great services to their fellow race men. Y. W. C. A.

Brown, graduate in the courses of Short-hand, Typewriting, Bookkeeping and Commercial Law-Biggers' Business College, Los Angeles, California In the gray dawn of civilization, which began around the banks of the Nile in Egypt's Land, providence placed a great race with all of its incipient endeavors. In this cradle where mother nature taught her children of fate the lesson of a long and painful life, the course through which they must go to reach the Royal Crown of Victory and the Haven of Success. From this time down to the present day, who has played a more important part in the world's civilization? We answer, "The Black Man." Who did the toiling and the labor? We answer again, "The Black Man." Taking a retrospective view o'er the long and dismal past, and going back to the daye of Toussaint L'Ouverture, as far back as 1793. This brave and fearless Negro Warrior wrote his fame and his noble name on the sands of time. He, unlike Napoleon and Washington, the great men of the Anglo-Saxon race, was untrained and unschooled. He did not only live the life THE FORD & FARRIS REALTY CO. of a hero that Hayti might be a republic, and it is to be remembered that he never lost a battle. And his dying words were, "My boy, you will some day go back to St. Domingo and forget that France has murdered your father". We behold no race that can truthfully boast of a statesman so loyal and so brave. Reflect back a moment with me to the early days of the grey down of civilization, when biblical history writes its truth of humanity, and then search out the secrets that the Anglo Saxon has kept in the dark, and you will find that the Black Man was in the making of an unrecorded history. And on down through centuries he has toiled for humanity. Turning the rough into smooth, the darkness into light, the wilderness into fields of sunlight and a bright civilization for mankind in general. While he has imitated the White Man he has improved on his works and profits by his failures. With an ambitious and energetic mind he has turned obstruction into opportunity and we see him marching on. Despised and rejected as he is, and scorned by nearly every nationality, he elbows his way to the front and makes a place for himself in the front ranks of fame. In the ranks and file with the onward movements and the trend of civilization, this despised and rejected race has made America what it is today, and is therefore, in position to tell indeed what is meant by 100 per cent Americanism. The world war shook the world up from the state of lethargy and indifference and idle dreams of life and awakened the Negro from slumber land, and placed him on his guard and opened his eyes and cast his views to the path of prosperity. And he is there making himself whole, not only by and through the spirit of industry, but in the amiable act of economize through the buying of War Savings Stamps, Liberty Bonds, Bank, Land and Oil Investments, and showing to the world what he can do by carrying out the spirit of thrift and energetic progress. In this the 20th Century, the Negro's progress is miraculous from the mechanical skill, his commercial enterprise and his social economies. We see by looking around us that prosperity is in the breeze. The open door of opportunity is calling for trained minds. "Efficiency" is the passport. Commercial training is needed on every side. The boy and girl who has a business education can justly face the perils of this world. For they will be able to turn mountains into mould hills, and with the eye of business conceptions, they view with pride the rough path that leads to the goal. As to how we may help others is not told so much by what we pay, but the things by which we do. That an courages the boy and girl struggling in these highways and to maks a place for them every day in every way as the demands are made from the cry "Help Wanted 5". Then Negroes in business should find favor in employing boys and girls which will encourage them and help them carry out their aims of their predecessors. Let us help and boast of the youth of today who is trying to make a mark for himself along life's way. As we have done may we advise you to do. Make and sharpen up your tools in the walls of some business college; then you will be prepared to build for yourself a tower and a lighthouse that will guide others along life's uneven way or o'er life's tempestuous sea, and take your place in the world's civilization among other stars of fame.

Great Mass Meeting Endorses Pilgrims' Home Hospital (Speakers From All Walks of Life Pay Glorious Tributes to Mother Pryor On Sunday afternoon last, one of the most representative and substantial audiences 'of its kind assembled in the Main Auditorium of the La fayette Junior High School at 14th and Naomi streets, to hear the report of Pilgrim's Home Hospital, Inc., and the project for the establishment of the Pilgrims Home Hospital at Monrovia, California. The occasion was an unusual one in the history of the City. Led by the Black and Tan Band, under the direction of Messrs. Southern and Lietleton McDuff, the crowd proceeded from 12th and Central, East an 12th street to the Auditorium. Seated on the restrum of the Auditorium was one of the most representative galaxies of public officials and speakers that has ever graced a similar occasion. With the band seated on the right, the splendid Metropolitan Baptist Church Choir under the leadership of Rev. M. C. Carter, the pastor occupied the platform. The speakers who faced the audience were the Hon. Boyle Workman, President of the Los Angeles City Council, the Hon. Paul Burge, of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, the Hon. Griffith If you see this tract, you will be dumfounded; the prices are low, from $350.00 up; only one-fourth down and the rest monthly. This is a fine chance for everybody, who is trying to do something for the future. Two years ago, Mr. Simmons sold two lots for $1500.00 a piece; the other day the people sold them for $10,000.00. California is destined to be one of the greatest States of the world; why not help make it, and make yourself at the same time. California is growing by leaps and bounds, and now is the time for you to get into this leaping. SIZES OF LOTS: The Business Frontage 25x120; Rsidence Lots 40x135. See--- E. C.

Titus Alexander, and the Hon. Charles Kane representing the Board of Education. Atty. Hugh E. Macbeth presided. After an opening work of prayer by Rev. M. C. Carter, president of the Los Angeles City Council, Boyle Workman was introduced. In an unusually eloquent speech, Mr. Workman lauded the work of Mother Elizabeth Pryor, the Founder of Pilgrims' Home Hospital and declared that he had known her for over ten years, and during that period he had carefully followed her activities. He recited the fact that at present there was an average of but one and one half beds for each one thousand of populace. He declared that the work of Pilgrims' Home Hospital in providing further beds for hospitals was not only commendable, but absolutely necessary at this stage of the community's growth. The speaker stated that every colored Church and Lodge section should positively get behind the movement and help the Pilgrims' Home Hospital. He lauded the management for their refusal to draw the Color Line in the plan of this hospital. Along this line the speaker declared that the work of Pilgrims' Home Hospital was a work for humanity as well as a work for the race. Mrs. A. Donnivan, one of the leading white singers of our city followed President Workman in a much touching rendition of the song entitled, "Mother". Throughout the programme, the wonderful Metropolitan Baptist Church enlivened the occasion with its harmonious and spiritual music. The work of the choir in this respect, assisted by that of the band emphasized the musical part of the programme as one of the very best that has been heard in our city. The Hon. Griffith Jones was the next and principal speaker of the afternoon. Taking as his theme, "Onward, Christian Soldiers", the title of the song just previously sung by the Choir, Atty. Jones thrilled his hearers as he recited the advancement and activities of the Pilgrims' Home Hospital's project and its wonderful Founder, and Backer, Mother Elizabeth Pryor. In words of striking force, he stated to all present it was not lip service which was required by the world today, but on the other hand, it was the actual practical self-sacrificing service amid many discouragements, false reports, false charges and every conceivable form of opposition such service as Mother Pryor and her co-workers are rendering the community that was needed to make it in truth. "Onward, Christian Soldiers" in --- our midst. So thrilled was the audience by the remarks of Atty. Jones that immediately upon the close of his address the following from the audience rose to their feet and volunteered their services to assist Mother Pryor on her Campaign Committee for raising the funds to the building of Pilgrims' Home Hospital at Monrovia, George W.

Claude McKinney represented the Los Angeles Forum. He took the platform in glowing words and pictured the struggles of Mother Elizabeth Pryor, the Head of the Pilgrims' Home Hospital in her efforts to pay for the land upon which the Pilgrims' Home Hospital is to be built. Every penny for the land has been paid, stated Mr. McKinney in addition Several Hundred Dollars are now in the Bank towards the building. The speaker said that the time had come for Colored men and women to bear their own responsibilities and cease dending upon white people for such things as hospitals and other social needs. Every Negro should contribute something towards this great movement as an evidence of his good faith. The speaker pledged fifty ($50.00) dollars towards the building of Pilgrims'Hospital. In this respect he was followed by Attorney Hugh E Macbeth, chairman of the Meeting. The next speaker was he Hon. Paul Burke, Judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles county, seldom has such a quiet but forceful speaker been heard in our midst taking as his theme that wonderful epic poem, "The Long Trail", Judge Burke wove a beautiful picture in words as he held up to the audience the work of Pilgrim's Home Hospital, and its wonderful Founder, Mother Pryor as the work of those who are engaged in helping struggling humanity in find the right trail. Judge Burke stated that every one present should consider himself and herself a committee of one to assist Pilgrims' Home Hospital and its Founder, Mother Elizabeth Pryor; they should go into every section of our country and solicit further funds and start immediate erection of the Hospital on the land already acquired at Monrovia, California. Judge Burke said that the work of Mother Elizabeth Pryor stood as a shining example in our community, for she worked not only for her own race, but for all races and human MAX SHIPIRO SAM LIVITZ Phone: HUmbolt 1198 Under Sheriff Eugene Biscalus the next speaker. The Under She claimed that there was no person the many who were coming in out of the county jail doing Mission work, who had done more the Mother Elizabeth Pryor had done was_doing. The speaker stated, there was no favor within the gift the Sheriff's office, which was not the command of Mother Pryor. In his ten years of intimate knowl and experience of Mother Pryor work in the county jail, he had no of not a single instance in which work had not been successful. M. J. B. Loving followed the Under Sheriff, Biscaluz and witnessed to all Under Sheriff Biscaluz had stated cerning the work of Mother Biscaluz, and the need for furnishing immediate financial assistance for building of the Pilgrims' Home capital in Monrovia. The speaker said that solicitors be sent out immediately in all parts of the surrounding area to solicit assistance for the building of Pilgrims' Home Hospital. The programme of the mass came to a close when the quietly figure of Mother Pryor came the front in the response at the demand of the master of ceremonies words which touched the hearts and brought tears to all eyes upon Mother Pryor told of what she done and what she was trying to In the closing prayer she asked help to bring to her assistance who would help her finish the which has been so gloriously done In a burst of fervent amnesia, the ing was dismissed by the beauty of this demure little woman and body present went away readily help take up the fight which Elizabeth Pryor practically handed has urged in our course and which fight through the sacrifice of this good little woman been brought to within striking tance of success.

Prof. Walter Verdon Howard, for fifteen years the leader of the choir at Wesley Chapel, has tendered his resignation to the regret of the many lovers of music who congregated and worshiped at that church each Sabbath. There is not a book or corner in Los Angeles where Jubilee songs and hymnals are sung that has not rung on some occasion with the echoes from the trained voices of Wesley under the capable leadership of Prof. oward, Ill health takes Prof. Howard fro mhils familiar post, and with his parting will go much of that vivacious dash and spirit which was peculiarly his. He made for Wesley a choir and in so doing he incidentally carved for himself a niche in the hall of musical recognition in Southern California. Prof. Howard took charge of the choir under the pastorate of the late E. W. Kinchen, and from a medocre, struggling organization, he has in these years through faithfulness and sacrifice built an organization that is much in demand and ranks as the biggest asset financially of any organization connected with the church. Prof. Howard leaves his post with the heartiest and best wishes of those who can appreciate unselfish effort and service; and along with him must be considered the local support in stealing his hand given him by his wife, two daughters, and son during the days which were dark and dreary WALL ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH E.8th and Wall St. Our services Lord's Day were fine. Bible School was well attended. Our pastor brought us a fine message at the morning service.

Order of service, Bible School, 9:45; Preaching, 11 A. M. and 7:30 p. m. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREATIONAL CHURCH 34th Street and Central Ave. Rev. E. E. Lightner, Pastor Dr. Gee. F. Kernaght, Ph.D., Supt. of the Southern California Congregational Conference was the espeaker at the morning hour on last Sunday, and brought a splendid message on "Work and Wages." Mr. L. S. Hart was the soloist and pleased the audience in the singing of "Face to Face." The service was greatly added to by the selection "Onward and Upward" rendered by the Lincoln Male Quartet, led by Prof. G. M. McClellan. There was one addition to the membership of the church at this service. In the evening the pastor, who attended the Conference in San Diego last week, gave "Echoes from the Conference." This Sunday, May 25th, will have good things in store for us. The pastor will occupy the pulpit at the morning hour. In the evening as a special feature, Mrs. Rosa Hatch, of the Pilgrimage Play will give a Sacred Reading entitled "The Wanderer," based on the story of the Prodigal Son. The pastor will sing "The Holy City." You are cordially invited to worship with us at all times. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH Holding Services in the Y. M. C. A. 9th and Hemlock Sts. Rev. H. D. Prowd, Pastor Our Sunday School was well attended and the lesson carefully tken up and driven home. The many strangers were accorded the usual hearty welcome. At the 11 o'clock service Dr. Srowd delivered a most helpful sermon taking for his text: Solomon's Song, 2nd Chap. Verse 4: He brought me into manufacturing house and his banner over me was love." Truly it was good to be present. The B. X. P. U. met at the usual hour and carried out a good program. The subject was that of "The Book of Books." All had something to say about the good old Bible—none wants to give it up. The day was closed with another stirring discourse by the Pastor on God's strength to His weekchildren. Come out this week and hear the messages which the Master will send us. PLEASANT HILL BAPTIST CHURCH Corner Bonnie Brae and Court Rév. W. H. Razier, Pastor Our Sunday school was well attended on last Sunday. pupils are being added to our school weekly. We have one of the best core of teachers that can be found in any school, and they love the children, and love to labor for the Master. Our pastor is an indispensable help in our Sunday school, and care is taken to see that the children get the vital truth. Rev. Rozier preached Sunday morning from Matt: 24, admonishing us to forget the crowd, to forget the masses, and push on, press on, to the end for the race is not to the swift, neither to the strong, but to him who endureth to the end. Our B. Y. P. U. is still going on, and is represented by a large, wide awake group of young people. We are studying the article of faith, not just to memorize, but to really know the fundamentals of the Baptis doctrine. The seed should be sown in the hearts of the young people, and the B. Y. P. U. workers and heads should make every sacrifice that those entrusted in their care are properly trained, and a special invitation is given to the public to worship with us. The evening services were opened by baptizing two candidates. Rev. Carter spoke for us. We always realize the value is to the Baptists of Southern California. A good donation was given him to help towards his trip to the Northern Convention. A free dinner is served every Sunday after the morning services, to our many friends and visitors. Baptismal services every first Sunday. All Los Angeles is invited to come and share the blessings which God is bestowing upon us at Pitasant Hill for the truth is going forth, and people's eyes are coming open, as never before. Sunday was a glorious day for the First Baptist Church. Rev. Featherston, who united with us last Thursday night preached a soul stirring sermon at the morning service. We are praying that he will be a blessing to our pastor in every way. At 2:00 p.m. m. Rev. Hines preached at the Old Fols' Home. He was accompanied with hree trucks and five machines loaded with members and five machines loaded with members and friends aside from those who went via street car. He proved a great blessing to the home through the service rendered. On last Wednesday afternoon, the Junior Missionary of which Miss Mamie Freeman is president presented the pastor at their meeting with a beautiful brief case with his name engraved in gold letters as a surprise to him manifesting through this gift along with others previously given, their appreciation for his interest in them, and the great love shown for them. He was almost overcome by the spirit shown by these children at this meeting. The following verses were composed and recited by Minnie Dent just before the President presented the gift. TO OUR PASTOR Rev. A. T. Hines Pastor we greet you, one and all, blessing of love, peace, and joy. This is our message bright and fair. Oh, that your heart may rejoice. Pastor we greet you, when you are sad, sunshines of joy, may be your theme, ever with love we'll cling to your side, this is our message of love. Pastor we greet you, with a heart full of peace, even a friend to be, love in our heartshines on our life ready and willing to do what we can.

Composeer. 1543 East 55th Street. 1924. There is no phase in the history of the progress of the church mere striking and remarkable than that of the spiritual development in both young and old. It is clearly manifest that we have reached the dawn of a better day. Rev. C. P. Jones will speak for us on next Sunday evening at 3:00 p. m. All are invited. Don't forget the nightly bible study. You are also cordially invited. In the morning the pastor preached to a crowded house from the subject "Shall the Baptists Fall". He used as a text, "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ". At the conclusion of the sarmon six persons united with the church. The evening services were held under the auspices of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, and the address of the evening was delivered by Dr. Gillifand, professor of history in the University of Southern California. Every one is looking forward to the Building fund rally which is to be had next Lord's Day, May 25th. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Last Sunday was "Girls Day" at the Independent Church. In keeping with the spirit of Girls Day, every woman played the part of a girl, if not in costume, in display of interest in the Girls, Day program, and with a spirited desire to see the girls make such a showing that the boys cannot surpass them on the Sunday following, which is "Boys Day". But the accelerated interest being engendered in the spirit of Boys Day program of next Sunday will no doubt give the boys priority over that of the girls. All are watching the "time table" for the climax. The sermon delivered on last Sunday by Miss Consuela Bright was one of rare excellence. Being filled with the Holy Ghost, she delivered a sermon so spiritually inspiring that the audience was captivated and spell-bound. Such is so rare of a young girl. The sermon was delivered from the subject: "Living Waters". Scriptorial review and personal experience told by Miss Bright was so effectively received that the same resulted in a big number of accessions to the church at the close of her sermon: all of these accessions were young girls. A beautiful solo was sung by Miss Mayme Lowe, and the entire service was fittingly carried out. The closing service was marked by the christening of an infant, very sacred and touching. At 7:30 in the evening the regular Girls' Day Program took place. The program consisted of solos, both instrumental and vocal, a quartette, a sketch drama and a special anthems from the choir. The program was praiseworthy, and will mark an epoch in the history of Girls' Day program. The May Festival of Tuesday evening of last week was an important feature of a preliminary and preparatory of Girls' Day program. This was a joyous occasion, and was honored by a large audience. Miss Edyth Smith was crowned queen of the occasion. This program was more than matched by the boys big May musical given Thursday evening of this week. The famous Boy Band under the direction of L. E. LeBlanc was one of the entertaining features. More will be said of this band later. Everyone is going to be present on next Sunday to see what the Boys of the Independent Church and their friends of other churches will do in presenting the greatest telling efforts ever put forth by boys, and to hear the decision of the judges as to who has won the day, the girls or the boys. WESLEY CHAPEL M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian streets A. P. Shaw, D.D., Pastor Sunday was a great day at Wesley, the Rev. G. W. Woodby, among the greatest; if not the greatest living historian of our group, delivered a masterful sermon dealing principally with ancient Bible history; the Life and Rule of the Chaldeans. No one can listen to the Rev. Woodby, wheather in sermon or lecture, without profit. Sunday evening, by invitation, the Wesley Chapel Choir rendered the entire service of the First M. E. Church, 8th and Hope streets. The Mother of our Southern California Methodists. Believe me when I tell you that the Wesley Chapel Choir in all of her history was never better than upon this memorable occasion. When more than 2,500 people were simply spellbound when they heard the strains of Martial Music as came from the throats of 80 or more persons. For the choir was ably assisted by members of the Junior Choir and the Junior Choir and the Women's and Men's Choral Club of the church. The program was well balanced with Jubilee and Classical selections. Closing with the Hallelujah Chorus. The solo leaders being Miss Moses, Mrs. Bryant, Mrs. Carrie Warren, Mrs. Evelyn Warren, Mrs. Longress, Mr. Longress, Mr. Wicks and Mr. Rollins. Mrs. Emma Markham with ease handled that great organ, and Prof. Howard did honor to the Church and to himself, in the direction of this entire program. Sunday the 35th, at 11:00 o'clock, the Rev. Gavit, the former pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, of this city, will deliver the sermon. At 7:30 the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity will render a program on Negro Achievements, having many brilliant speakers. The Junior Choir furnishing the music. You are welcome. Come, Come, Come. Two very good congregations greet ed the pastor last Sunday. He prescheduled at both services. We are encouraged from the reports of the various leaders of clubs for our fund.

Our Sunday School showed remarkable interest last Sunday in attendance and offering. We hope it will continue. At the morning services, the pastor spoke from the text, "God is our Refuge and Strength, a very present help in time of trouble. There was a large mixed audience and a number of visitors from other cities present who expressed appreciation of the services. Both endeavors had good lessons. At night the pastor spoke from the text, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right, and the first commandment with promise." The mixed congregation gave strict attention, and promised to return. Next Sunday will be trustee day. Everybody come. Bring 25 cents each or more for the trustee work. And be sure to attend our big rally, July 13th. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Cor. Pico and Paloma streets Rev. W. E. Shaw, Pastor Sunday, May 25th, the pastor, Rev. W. E. Shaw, will occupy his pulpit. He expects to return from the General Conference which convened in Indianapolis. He will bring the news and happenings of the conference. Prof. J. C. Banks, lay delegate from this church will probably return later. Services were very good on last Sunday. Rev. J. G. Edmonds preached at the morning hour. His text was found Matt. 5:16. "Det your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven." Very good music by the choir. Prof. Bynum gave us a rare treat from his bass violin. Rev. Miller delivered an instructive and interesting sermon at 8:00 p. m. from Luke 18:1. "And he spoke a parable unto them, to the end that men ought alwaye to pray and not to faint." Come to proyer and praise service Wednesday evening. A hearty welcome awaits you at Zion. CHRISTIAN CHURCH $ ^{1} $ 33rd and Hooper avenue The interest in all departments of our church ran high last Sunday. Pastor Mitchell was present with an able sermon at each preaching hour. He renewed interest as afame on the part of our membership in the study of the bible. Next Sunday there will be a mass meeting of the Christian Churches of Los Angeles, at the Y. M. C. A. Rev. C. R. Hudeson, superintendent of Christian Missinary Society will conduct the mass meeting. Sunday morning the pastor will bring as a sermon from the life of Jeremiah, the prophet. All are welcome CHURCH OF CHRIST Long Beach Blvd. and Redondo Car Line. Isaac J. Williams, Pastor We had a fine worship on last Lord's Day at services. Every one seemed to have enjoyed the message of God's Word from our minister, Br. Williams, who took the stand at 11:30 a. m. and he took for his text or subject, the 14th chapter of St. John and the sixth verse, and the first clause, "I am the way". This will end our series of kermans on "Why I believe the Bible to be the Revealed Word of God, and Why I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God". We had a splendid crowd to witness all of these services. And on next Lord's Day we will give to Brp. Slade the right hand of fellowship. He was baptised some few Sundays ago and had to leave on business. He will be with us next Lord's Day. Services for next Sunday as usual. Bible school at 9:45 a. m. and preaching at 11 a. m. All are welcome. BIRCH STREET CHRISTIAN CHURCH Corner 14th and Birch Streets Rev. A. W. Jacobs, Pastor Regular weekly program is as follows: Sunday school, 9:45 under the able supervision of Bro. W.

THE GULLIBLE - 7 ‘Talk about the gullibility of a race only fifty years out of its chains. They can give a large per cent of political managers and candidates cards and spades and then prove its worth on the estimate to be placed on men. Gandidates and managers, especially on these western shores would rather be buncoed any time or place than to recognize real worth, ability and io give these qualifications the consideration they deserve. Fake politieal organizations and ‘political tricksters have the call and “Nero still fiddles while Rome burns”. The gullibility? of candidates for office leads them to seriously believe that every pseudo self style leader can deliver votes in bunches of from 100 to 5000, when as a matter of fact, the delivery of their very own is alwaye a question of doubt. The average candidate, how- ever, prefers this sort of service to any other and falls for it in every election. 4 BUSINESS MEN The Eastside Realty Company manned by Messrs Ingra~ ham and the Banks Brothers is a business institution which has reflected high credit as to the capacity of members of our group to conduct big business. This firm has not only made a success in the line of the Realty Business, but stepped out and suby dividers of large tracts of lands made a notable succes The: have kept the standard high and marched onward and bpward for the things which stand for progress and a name worth while. They have not shirked from responsibility, have as- sumed it and stood by their guns on only one ground, that of a square deal and honest effort and on this basis have made for themselves a name and for the race a record worth while. + Harry L. Beal, who conducts a branch agency for the Wists Meter ‘Company, though only a shora time in business on a large scale, has demonstrated. beyond peradventure, a rare business acumen which stamps him right up in the front line as a success in’ business. Without one untoward incident fo mar higpath he is an outstanding figure in the automobile’ business. ‘His place of business is modern and for its size not one in the city has anything to beat it. It is conducted on, purely business principles, and its patrons are all loud in their praises of the sa- gacity of Mr. Beal and his manner of doing business.

Dorsey ~- | Several months ago the United States Treasury Depart. men received a note from Henry Ford attached to which was a check for several million dollars.| The note brielfy stated that he was forwarding inclosed amount which represented the net profit during te war from goyernment contracts handled by him, ” Last week President Coolidge after a scathing denouncia- tion of the soldiers’ bonue bill wach was introduced.in con- gress and passed both houses in an effort to partly compensate the boys who carridd the flag to victoy over the dead bodies of hundreds of their cpmrades, vetoes same. His argument in support of his action was perfectly rea- sonable in so far asjit applied to healthy, able bodied ex-service men, if this had been the only issue involved. In substance he stated, why place 4 premium upon one’s services rendered in the national defense of this, our government: The President might have, if be had chosen to, in a second breath; nay, should have had the begk bone and exercised the liberty to inform ¢ongress that since he was sincere in his righteous belief that no premium should be placed upon ser- vices rendered in time of war that he was so unalterably op- posed to the retention by capital of the millions of dollars in profits made by them at the expense of the thousands of dough- boys that fought, Hled and died in the trenches in order ihat this government with its varied and|many interests might be preserved and to that end. he should have recommended con- gress to have introduced and passed 4 bill calling for the mon- ‘eyed interests to fall in line with Henry Ford and reimburse the government with the profits and spoils of war made possible by our entry into the world war. As between setvices rendered by| big business which made millions out of exploiting the masses during the ‘war under the guise of patriotism, pnd services'of our soldiers that risked their all,.the line is cleat. Why, if our Government saw fit to con- script and induct in| the army the young blood of America, did not the government see fit to conscript capital“in order that differences might nbt have entered into the controversy. Capital as organized during the war did more to prolong the conflict than any one thing else. |Congcription of men did more to end the war because it put €very man df fighting age on equal footing while capital ‘was permitted to bid and form combines which, inbtead of placing the interest; of the nation first were busy seeing how much they could squéeze out of the treasury department for the construction and erection of myth- ical or defective ship yards, wooden ships unworthy of sea ser- vice, charging prices bordering o nthe brink of extortion. Looking at thd soldiers bonus in|this light he is as much entitled to his shard of the spoils of war as capital. The President should draw no lines which tend. to discrim- inate as between capital and our heroes in the light for a bonus, for 6ur President ahd cpital must remember one thing as con- gress pointed out ‘(That but for the loyalty of our men who faced death capital jas well as-Uncle Sam would perhaps ioday have no place to lay their heads. | Congress in passing the bonus bill over the. President’s veto selected the only honorable course since capital is unwil- ling to refund to the government the millions they made profi- teering as the expense and human saerifice of our boys fight- ing in what has prdven itself to have|been a trade war rathe than a war waged im the interest of democracy. “GO TO COLLEGE”: THE SLOGAN OF ALPHA PHI ALPHA We were especitlly glad to join hands with Alpha Delta chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha ternity,. University -of Southern California] in sending the sacred message of ednca- tion to 5.000,000 of|our bovs and girls throughout the length and breadth of the United States. — It|is upon our alertness in inducing our young}men and women to go to college that ihe future structire of gociety surely rest. They owe it to them- selves and to their [posterity to embrace he abundant oppor- tunities now offered] them to get an education; and it is such movements as these that Alpha Phi Alpha with her 58 chapters scattered across the| continent, from the University of Minne- sota on the North to| Harvard Univer on the East, from At- lanta University on.the South to the University of Southern Cal- ifornia on the west, which are calculated to spur our young men and women out of {hat self-complaceicy which too ofted ac- companies them in al breathless Ru uiti of material possessions, _.

A MATTER FOR THE SENATE | aes of Before the child labor amendment can become a part of the Constitution of the United States it will be necessary, for every man and woman to insure its success by prompting’ their epresentatives in the Senate to give the measure their unquali- fied. approval. .The jvote in the House, 297 for and only 69 painst:is-encouraging-enough, Yet it is not safe to Dresape pose the successful jenactment of.the| amendment upon: scisay ate eriticis Syn sca pues itgoes to the a gee: cor may de aor & should pass directly to the Senate, as thestate legislatures can give it but scant attention. The best they can do is to ratify it, not take jt up as a matter for each individual state to settle. Each-state, moreover, would have to consider the benefit of the child in that particular state. if the amendment was passed. There would obviously be, according to this, a few which would falter in indorsing this in view of the great amount of child labor employed in them. Rather than takesa chance in having the amendment rejected by those few states in whichichild labor is a household word, such as Pennsylvania and New York, it is imperative that we urge its acceptance di- rectly bythe Senate. verse . We were glad to see““The Chicago Whip” publishing “Ed- itorials Don’t Grow on Trees” in the edition of May 17th, as “the best|editorial of the week”. We assure them that we shall scan as carefully their columns in search for wisdom as they were in searching, finding and publishing ours. bo eee WHY NOT THE MINISTRY To most youth aspiring for leadership and high honorable standing in the community: the idea of entering the ministry for real and earnest service is too greatly disregarded. The er- roneous gesumption is that the ministry does not offer oppor- tunities commensurate to those of other vocations, that it con- strains and limits and deprives one of fo small amount of per- sonal freedom. It is this narrow and unfounded attitude that elicited from J. Stanley Durkee of Howard University a plea for liberal thinking on the part of parents whenever the notion of entering the ministry is entertaied. Doubtless our: notions concerning the ministry are manifestly wrong. If it were not so, our schools of divinity would be crowded with students seek- ing the enlightenment which needs must be acquired for an earnest effort in that direction. Only a remedial measure will redeem ub of the error. It is more liberal thinking; less hate, more prolonged deliberation in the process of choosing a voca- tion. It may be of some interest.to know: that there.is no voca- tion which offers a greater promise of success or a larger chance for creative effort. The controversies which have re- cently sprung up between the Modernists and Traditionalists and the fverwidening gap which increasingly separates one school of theologians from another attest to this. Some inspired leader timen through hard and persistent effort may enter in and enlighten us and point the way for us out of the labyrinth of difficulties and differences into a unified conception of that which is ¢ssential-to us in religion. Some present day Cardinal Newman may steer us around the wreckage of conflicting dog- mas arid beliefs, and guide us safely into that consensue of opinion which needs must be inseparately linked up with soli- darity and progress. Shall we not earnestly work toward this end. ' CHARLES F. MURPHY ~ . ‘The gutstanding leader of Tammany Hall, Charles F, Mur- phy has passed into the great beyond. He was the lengthened shadow of Richard Croker, a friend of Negro freedom: a man of courage and integrity. It was Murphy’s leadership of the Tammany) machine which cio politics in the Democratic circles of New York of its cupidity and petty lobbying. It was his fortitude that dared to face every insult and threat which brought into every department of the city government Negro officials nd made possible the employment of nearly 1,000 Ne- gro civil service men. Whatever he attempted was accom- plished. Wherever he went he was respected. He set the’ ex- ample for|his colleagus in Tammany Hall: an example which shall bring great joy over the faithfulness with which it shall be followed. New York and especially the Negroes of New York oweto him a great tribute, for he was their friend and champion. | With them he-will be remembered as an advocate of equal eens in the municipal government and general inter- ests of the|people of the community . <b ee EASON AND THE REST With real pleasure we enjoyed Mr, Charles L. Eason’s re- view which. appeared in the columns of our esteemed contem- porary last week. It was masterly, it was scholarly, it was an impressive | demonstration of real ability as a writer and of broad capacity as an investigator into the real causes of Cau: casian propaganda. Mr. Eason went to the heart of the matter. In a-dignified and elevated style, he remarks that France's strenuous activity in training the natives of Africa it not so much’a menace to Nordic ‘superiority’ as it is a demonstration of what can result in interracial co-operation and good will! Itis type of writers and thinkers of which Mr. Eason is perhaps the most able local representative on the press that we are in pregsing need of.

Low ex- ‘pressed himself at a meeting at the Proximo Club luncheon yesterday, fol- lowing addresses by Lucius C. Dale and Dr. Wiley.J. Phillips, who de- clared that the Ku Kfux Klan today stands for fair play and progress for the peoples of all nationalities. ‘The remarks for and against the Ku Kinx Klan were called forth as the re- sult of an address'given by Rev. J. Gordon, pastor of the Taberaach®-Biy. tist Chmrch (colored), who urged an alliance between America and the Ne- groes of the world, and who declared that universal peace cannot be estab- lished “until the wrongs perpetrated against Africa shall have been right- ed”. “England has taken 4,000,000 square miles of African territory”, said Mr. Gordon. “France has 3,000,000, Belgi- um -900,000, Italy 700,000 and Portu- gal 200,900 square miles of African ter- ritory, leaving only ,600,000. square miles of the continent that, as yet, have not been stolen from the natives.

It will be one of the biggest day in the history of Los Angeles baseball. A new field will be dedicated and a new team will take the field against an as yet unnamed opponent. Who will pitch the first hall and other details have not been decided but all of the usual ceremonies will be gone through at the ball park. GOODYEAR PARK GOOYEAR PARK Goodyear Park is the new stadium location and it is one of the finest parks in around Los Angeles. Its capacity is over three thousand persons. It also boasts a grass infield which is certainly big league stuff. LOCATION GOOD Located at Sixty-fourth street between South Park and Central avenues the park is easily reached by two car lines—the "U" and the "S" lines going south, and it takes only twenty minutes to make the trip. MANAGEMENT AND PLAYERS Will Carroll and Bonnie Goodwin both well-known in local baseball are the men behind the team which by the way is as yet unnamed. Both of the above gentlemen have had a tough time getting a home for the team that they had planned to form and now that they have landed the beautiful Goodyear Park wires are being sent to the players who have been marking time waiting for the call. Many new faces, men who have never played on the coast before but who stand high in the estimation of southern fans will be seen on this new club. Arkansas will send Hill, Davis, Jackson and Johnson, Prue Texas will come Hogert, Spearman, Beard and Burns. More about these players later. JOHNNIE BAUGH IN COMEBACK The great and only Johnnie Baugh who was a great favorite at Alexander Park will pitch the opening game. There never was a more popular player than Johnnie and he is due to get a great send-off when he takes the mound. Incidently Johnnie! is in great shape, his arm having regained its former cunning. Johnnie is to bring a backstop from Pomona so the little city of Pomona will be well represented. FAGIN NAMED CAPTAIN Bob Pagin the great second sacker who turned down a big league offer to stay here for Goodwin and Carroll will hold down the keystone sack and act as captain. Slowtime Jackson a southpaw will share the pitching honors with Johnnie Baugh. Paul Wilson the sensational young outfielder is also sure of a berth on the new club. The player situation seems to have been solved to the satisfaction of all. Several local players will be taken on but they will have to battle to hold their position against the invaders from the south. This should keep the players traveling at high speed and in good condition because the player who can't stand the gait will get a long rest on the bench and finally a blue ticket. Will Carroll is attending to all the business details while Lonnie Goodwin will manage the ball club. It has been serving customers since Alexander Park was in the flood but the good old days still element here again. Only one more spell has been the familiar call of play and the cries of hickory against the oak tree. The runner circling the same ground ball calls over the fence. There is no end. PRETTY NORTHERN GIRL BE COURS BRIDE A pretty home wedding was solemnized at the magnificent home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Chavorn, when their attractive daughter, Miss Elfieca, became the bride of Mr. Lee Roy Calhoun. Rev. T. M. Davis came down from Oakland to perform the ceremonies. The bride's only attendant was her sister, Mrs. Zella Manasheld, and Mr. Joe Wilhorte was the best man. The guest list was confined to the two immediate families and a very few friends. The official force of the Owl Drug Store, where Mr. Calhoun is employed, were present and presented the Mr. and Mrs. Calhoun with a chest of silver.

Tyler returned to Los Angeles Thursday and will be found at his desk the first of next week. Attorney Tyler was the lay-representative of the California Conference which honer was bestowed upon him twice in succession. He paid to a staff reported upon his return: "The last session of the General Conference was the greatest in the history of the church. In fact, the Conference is the greatest representative body of our group in the world both in numbers and in influence". When one remembers that five thousand A. M. E. Church folk in California are entitled to only four seats in the General Conference, one can realize the tremendous size of the connectional church. Seven hundred and sixty-eight delegates were entitled to seats and six hundred alternates were in attendance. In addition to those over three thousand non-delegate visitors attended the Conference. Woman Suffrage The most outstanding piece of legislation was the great forward step taken by the Conference in granting women the full rights in the church with men in everything except the ministry. This however, is a constitutional question and must be ratified by three-fourths of the Annual Conferences before it becomes effective. There is no doubt this will be done and the next General Conference, or at least the session of 1939, will see many women delegates upon the floor. Lay.

It occurred to me that the beat thing to do was to propose one additional lay-representative to each Annual Conference with a ministerial representation of five or more delegates and this was enacted into law. The result will mean about seventy additional lay-representatives at the next General Session. Allen Life Guards One of the great achievements of the Session was the confirmation of the plan of Rev. S. S. Morris, secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League to have written into the law a constitution for the Allen Life Guards. This was done and the details of this plan are to be issued soon from the League with authority of the Blokpa's Council Under the plan a complete Boy Scout organization within the church and known as Allen Life-Guards, will be organized with com- (Continued on Page Twelve) LOS ANGELES GIRL WHO DIED IN SAN FRANCISCO LAID TO REST AT SCREEN GENEETY AT EVENGREEN GENERALY Mrs. Grace Vibla Condon, wife of Charles Condon of San Francisco and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.

Don't let anything kee pyou from gambling with the Bills when they give their monster celebration all day at Eagle Rock Park, June 19th The Colored Citizens of St. Louis participating in the Three Million Dollar Y. M. C. A Development Campaign, went beyond all previous records in their subscription. When the final reports were compiled on Friday night, May 28th, the total stood at $125,335. This sets a new high-water mark for the participation of our people in philanthropic enterprises, and it will stand for years to come, as in inspiration to them in all future financial projects. Two things stand out in this Campaign. First, the Colored citizens were an integral part of a big city-wide effort. There was no Negro quota assigned, but instead, the Negro Citizens were asked to join with all of the citizens of St. Louis in raising Three Million Dollars to meet the common needs of the city. GF from the very first Committee Meetings, ur group was represented. There were members of our group on the Executive Committee, on the Big Gifts Committee, and other functioning Committees of the Campaign as a whole. This situation held good throughout the Campaign down to and into the noonday hatchure. St. Louis M to be congratulated in taking this forward step in recognizing manhood status of our men. The second outstanding feature of the Campaign is the denomination of the gifts. One of these gifts was for $25,000 by Mr. and Mrs. Malone. This, of course, establishes a new record for an individual gift by a member of the Campaign gifts more than contributions of $25,000, $2,000, $1,000, $500, $250 and so on. There were one hundred twenty gifts of $250 and over. The funds secured from this Campaign will be placed in the erection of five new buildings in various parts of the city. One of these buildings will be erected west of Grand Avenue in the rapidly growing Colored section of the city, and will be given wholly to the use of Colored men and boys. This will make St. Louis the first city in the country to have two modern buildings for our group. In addition to this building, extensions will be made on the present building at Pine and Rewing streets. The third feature coming from the Campaign will be the establishment of three Boys Clubs in congested sections of the city. Our efforts in this Campaign were under the direction of Mr. R. B. DeFrantz, personal and Finance secretary of the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association. Our chairman in the Campaign was Mr. Frank L. illums, Chairman of the Fine street Branch Y.M.C.A. The success of the Campaign is in a large measure due to the wise direction of these two men. The organization and co-operation to achieve the results described above in being held in fact in order that it might be related to other civic and financial efforts. The campaign has disclosed potentialities in our group that were heretofore undreamed of, which potentialities will be related in the future to many business and other co-operative efforts. HENRY K.

May 19:—The cause of good will and co-operation between the races in Mississippi took a decided step forward in the organization here last week of a strong State inter-racial Commission, which enters enthusiastically upon the task of improving conditions in this State. The organization meeting was called by Bishop Theodore D. Bratton, the best-known churchman in the state, and was attended by more than twenty white and colored leaders. Bishop Bratton was elected chairman, Mr. Mike Godray, of the State Y. M. C. A. was made recording secretary, and Hon Francis Harmon, assistant attorney general of the State, was made executive secretary, backed by a strong executive committee. The colored leaders present who accepted membership on the Commission were: Professors W. H. Holtzclaw, Z. T. Hubert, L. J. Rowan, B. Banshy and W. A. Battle, Dr. A. W. Dumas and Dr. Zuber. Dr. Dumas was the principal spokesman for the colored group and made a fine and effective presentation of their viewpoint. He emphasized especially the need of better educational facilities. Prof. Eura Hilburn, State Supervisor of colored schools, made a happy response, placing his department to do all in its power to improve educational conditions for colored people and pointing out the rapid progress already better made in that direction. Mr. Harmon and the executive committee were authorised to organize the whole state as rapidly as possible. R. W. Miles, field representative of the General Inter-racial Commission, was immediately sent out on this mission and within the week has interested leading citizens of Meridian, Laurel and Hattiesburg and formed the Council of committees in those cities. Sentiment over the state is said to be more favorable to this work than ever before. Training Colored Social Workers Atlanta ..School ..Completes ..Fourth Successful Year The Atlanta School of Social Work, conducted in connection with Morehouse College, is just completing its fourth year of successful operation. Established in 1920 because of the special need in the South for an institution for the training of colored young people in professional social work, it has been steadily raising its standards and enlarging its effectiveness. Courses are given in case work, human behavior, social investigation, physiology, home auraling, community organization, play leadership, social problems and field work. In addition the school is giving extension courage to forty-six public school teachers, conducts a short course for ministers' wives at Gammon Seminary and gives two lectures a week to the senior normal students of Atlanta University. The school is controlled by a committee of representative white and colored men and women, headed by Dr. John Hope, President of Morehouse College. The faculty consists of E. Franklin Punster, who is also the director, a teacher in case and Seld work, and a number of executives of Atlanta social agencies. A nominal tuition fee of twenty-five dollars is charged. The chief handicap of the institution so far has been lack of adequate and stable financial support. It is hoped that this need may be supplied at an early date by philanthropic donors of making a constructive specification to the fund. The inspired purpose of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" again rings out in the recently published book of Joseph Henry Jones, Jr., of Boston, entitled "By Sanction of Law," a story of love that attempts to point out the futility of race prejudice. Mr. Jones graduated from Brown University in 1903, and immediately began his career as a journalist and soon became prominent in editorial work on several New England newspapers, finally settling in Boston. He left journalism to become secretary to Murray Curley of Boston, and has edited the Boston City Record the city's official publication. He was for a long time on the editorial staff of the Boston Post. Story of Thrills His story presents a vivid picture of conditions of living in the South, and draws the lesson for America that mistreatment of the colored race cannot continue in its present trend without seriously harming the entire body politic of the country. The book makes a strong appeal not only for its characters of stardy New England type who stand for justice and right, of better class Southern type who are still passive to the wrothers being perpetrated about them by the less law abiding, and the types of colored man who is an inspiration to the race. Just also for the compelling interest of the story itself. The story moves along with a quick succession of thrilling incidents, some of which are plausible and convincing, and many of which echo "movie scenarib" strategy. The author rises to the supreme majesty of his purpose in the scene where the hero is brought before the college faculty meeting and defends the traditions and hopes of his race in an audience of mixed opinions and in the race riot scene. The reader in these scenes feels that the author has struck his full stride, as also in the love scenes where the vital import of love is powerfully portrayed, but whites that the author had created unity of structure and emotional effect, by less intrusion of blood-breaking incidents, in the moments when quiet restraints would have equally filled the bill. That the heroine should finally discover that she herself also had a strain of color in her voice, rather evades the issue, but makes a more pleasant ending which seems so vital in all good stories nowadays. The Plot To Story The story starts with a scene on the plantation of an aristocratic Southerner when he is horribly hipped by an aged white tenant whom he has ordered off his place after having been a tenant for a number of years. The action quickly shifts to the North, to a New England college town where the daughter heroine of the story is to spend a year in finishing her schooling. In this town as the result of a street car strike and riot, in which she is inadvertently drawn, she is rescued by the hero. There are thrilling scenes, three of the most striking being a lynching scene, a cyclone in which the hero rescuer the father of the heroine and a fight between the brother of the heroine and the hero. There will be many Southerners particularly who will condemn the book for its frank, outspoken preaching and justice for a loyal group of chitons. There will be also many who will dispute the theories advanced as to the prejudice, since the book preaches the doctrine of equality for all. The theme is tense and the dramatic situations are tense. Throughout the whole, thereafter feels the highest curry of the author and realizes the minor technicalities of plot setting are vehicles of smoothing pressure that noteworthy only lies on the principle moral that the story is particularly converge. (Continues on Page Tables) The one most beautiful spot in the whole world, is "Lincoln Gardens," six miles east of Long Beach, surrounded by over 125,000 people, on good roads and everything to make the future nothing but happiness for people who will take the advantage. As you see the beautiful palm trees, the green grass with all its splendor, the orange orchards dingling with their ripe and juicy fruits, it's most amazing! This beautiful sub-division lies between the cities of Stanton and Westminster, the scenery is most beautiful with the jugged mountains surrounding the ethereal sky. There are no race restrictions in this beautiful garden; all are welcome. This firm has spent a great deal of time, trying to find a fine sub-division for the people; at last they have found exactly what the people want, a beautiful and level tract of land. GENERAL CONFERENCE OF A. M. E. CHURCH Louisville, Ky., May 21—What might be termed the most successful General Conference in the history of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, has just passed into history. It was indeed a business session and much was accomplished not alone for the church, but the entire race. There were some surprises as well as disappointments in the election and it was expected because there were as many aspirants for each place and some had to be left for the next time and it will never come. In the election of Bishops, there were 57 aspirants, and only three to be elected. Three strong men were elected and the church will continue to move on. The bishops elected were Lincoln Gaines, Reverdy Clement Bansom, John Andrew Gregg, Michael Gates was the first to be elected on the first ballot, and then followed the other two in their order on the second ballot. The consideration of bishops took place Sunday and it was a great occasion, so it was the first time a bishop of the A. M. E. church had been consecrated, and it was not surprising that the crowd should number over three from all parts of the country, including many Kentucky people, reptenting all religious denominations. It was a solemn occasion. Bishop Levi J. Coppin was in the chair, the senior Bishop, Benjamin Franklin, now being unable to be present because of his physical condition. Music for the occasion was furnished by a senior choir of one hundred voices under the direction of Prof. Hiram Duncan, of Portsmouth, Va. W. H. JARMAN, Sales Manager Gow, South Africa; J. C. Beckett, Pennsylvania. Bishop A. J. Carey made the consecration prayer, and the Bible was delivered by Bishop W. Sampson Brooks. There were several general officers who were re-elected without contest. In this number were Dr. D. M. Baxter; Manager Book Copper; John R. Hawkins, financial secretary; A. S. Jackson, Commissioner of Education; S. S. Morris, secretary Allen Christian Endeavor League; and for the others, there was a lively contest. There were some surprises in this connection, for the Rev. Dr. E. H. Cott of South Carolina was elected missionary secretary; Dr. J. G. Robinson of Michigan was elected editor of the A. M. E. Review; Dr. G. W. Allen of Tennessee, was re-elected editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, and while there was a candidate for the editorship of the Christian Recorder, he was so far behind that the men declare that Dr. R. R. Wright was elected without opposition; Dr. J. D. Barksdale was elected editor of the Western Christian Recorder. Dr. S. J. Johnson, the noted preacher and leader from Texas, was elected Church Extension Secretary. It was decided that in the future women could hold membership in district, annual and even general conferences. She will be contending for an election four years hence. She will be a factor in church work in the future. The representation of the laity of the church was increased from two to three. This was considered an advanced step. One of the hardest fought battles in the General Conference was for secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday school Union, yet after much discussion, and many side meetings, when it went into the General Conference, Prof. Ira T. Bryant was re-elected over all opponents on the first ballot. Immediately on the election, Bishop Joshus H. Jones served notice that I would contest the election or Ira T. Bryant on the ground that too many ballots were cast and the secretary had not received a majority. THE FORD & FARRIS REALTY CO. THE FORD & FARRIS REALTY CO. FOR Bishop W. Sampson Brooks of West Africa raised $500 in 20 minutes for his work in Africa. Prof. Aaron E. Malone played an important part in the General Conference. He is one of the most active laymen in the connection and served on some of the most important committees. He introduced a measure making better provision for the old ministers, those who had devoted their lives to the work of the church often serving on starvation salaries, and when they had reached the place where they were no longer active, then they were thrown away. He wanted the rural preachers have better pay, and when Prof. Malone made his talk, each word went right to the heart of the ministers. He is regarded as a safe leader among the laymen and has demonstrated his love for his church as well as his race. He made his committee's work tell. There were many laymen active in the General Conference, men who were present at every session and did not spend any time in social affairs. The bishops were assigns as follows: First District, Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York and New England conferences, Bishop WI H. Heard. Second District, Baltimore, Virginia, North Carolina and Western North Carolina Conferences, Bishop J. Albert Johason. Third District, Ohio North Ohio, Pittsburgh and West Virginia Conferences, Bishop Joshua H. Jones. Fourth District, Indiana, Illinois and Chicago Conferences, Bishop Levi J. Coplin. Fifth District, Missouri, North Missouri, Southwest Missouri, Kansas and Colorado Conferences, Bishop A. J. Carey. Sixth District, Georgia, North Georgia, Mason Georgia, Southwest Georgia, Atlanta Georgia, South Georgia, Augusta, Georgia, and American Georgia Conferences, Bishop J. S. Flipper. Eighth District, Mississippi, North Mississippi Central Mississippi and Northwest Mississippi Conferences, Bishop W. W. Beckett. Ninth District, Alabama, North Alabama, Central Alabama, East Alabama and South Alabama Conferences, Bishop Win. Alfred Fountain. If you see this tract, you will be dumfounded; the prices are low, from $350.00 up; only one-fourth down and the rest monthly. This is a fine chance for everybody, who is trying to do something for the future. Two years ago, Mr. Simmons sold two lots for $1500.00 a piece; the other day the people sold them for $10,000.00. California is destined to be one of the greatest States of the world; why not help make it, and make yourself at the same time. California is growing by leaps and bounds, and now is the time for you to get into this leaping. SIZES OF LOTS: The Business Frontage 25x120; Residence Lots 40x135.

What We Saw, What We Heard, In Chicago We had the pleasure of visiting the printing plant of the St. Louis Argus Our good friend, J. E. Mitchell editor in philip was out of the city. We were, however, certainly greeted and shown over the plant by his brother, who is the manager of the same, and we can truly say that the Argus is a real plant, owned, manned and fully operated by the race. The hum of the linotype and presses was music to our ears. Black boys and black girls manipulated the keys of the linotype machines and certainly made us feel proud that the Mitchell Brothers are playing well their part for race advancement in the great metropolis on the Mississippi. The plant occupies two large floors and an assembly room on the third floor; it is fully equipped with four linotype machines and half a dozen jobbers. It is a high credit to the genius of the Mitchell Brothers. On our Way We left St. Louis early on Saturday and in a blinding snow storm at rived at the Kingdom of Callaway the county in which we were born more than a half century ago. We visited with the Harley family, smuggled friends of more than a thirty year standing. Men and women who many years ago we taught in the public schools of this county, paid their u fine stopped only for a few hours and were soon headed for Topeka, Kansas, the town in which we were reared. We lost no time in reaching the residence of our cousin, Mrs. Susie O'Brien, and to get in touch with our faithful friend, J. H. B. Taylor, City Marshall Charles Lytle, F. M. Stonestreet, and the only and inimitable Nicodemus Chiles, editor of the Plaindealer. This galaxy of leading citizens certainly entertained us. The Republican State Convention was in session on the next day and we again for the moment became entranced with Kansas politics. We noted, however, that the boys could not measure up to the old times in things political, and as a consequence, do not get the play which is their due. We were amused at the queer antics put forth by the Colored Contingent in the convention assembled. We shall not, however, say more fr after all the boys performed the best they could. At nightfall we boarded a train for Salina, where we visited our children, Prof. and Mrs. Porter. Prof. Porter is the principal of the big Dunbar school while Mrs. Porter is one of the staff of teachers. This is a most splendidly equipped school with every modern convenience and these two dear children are beloved by all, both children are parents. With this fleeting visit we boarded the Limited for Los Angeles and home, out of the snow and ice. We gracefully passed through Denver, Salt Lake City and again landed among the sunshine and flowers of God's own country, California. (The End) The Wasley Peoples Press Service, San Francisco, Cal., Special to the California Eagle. um or to go to West End Park to wit- ness the ball game between the Dallas Black Giants and the Houston Black Bluff. After eating the greatly satisfying meal in the midday I yielded to the temptation of seeing the ball game. This game was held in the Texas League Park, and the whites and blacke divided the seats in the grandstand evenly. The large crowd being about half and half. It was some game between the black boys Houston won by a score of 6 to 5. Now these natives take their baseball like a man taking his coffee. Very violent partisans. In all my attendance at Recreation-Park I have never heard such rooting. Why, if the seal could get such rooting they would win the pennant in a walk. It was a pitcher's duel up to the eighth inning when the black giants, and believe me they were giants, broke thru the defense of the Bucks, and when the big black boy called the Beaumont Shot came to the bat with three on he proceeded to hit a three bagger to left center and then it looked as though it was curtains for the Houstonians, and you should have heard those babies in the stands singing the Blues to say nothing of the nivectives heaped on the heads of the home players, but all was not lost as the home team came to the bat in the last of the ninth, for they hopped on the big black boy from Dallas and the story runs something like this, a walk, a triple, and another single, five runs and the game for the Houston Black Bulls. A feature of the game was the fielding of the Dallas first baseman, and say, this baby sure can field, hit and run. He brought all the fans to their feet several times. Another feature of the game was the circus catch in right field by a Houston player. These fellows put it on strong. They had a jazz hand to play between the innings. All stood at attention for the seventh inning stretch while the hand played the Star Spaghetti Beaner. In California. The church was packed and they sang everything from the old spirituals to the classics. It was a rare treat indeed. Odd Fellows They had a turn out of about two thousand members here. I saw some of the members of the household of Ruth in their beautiful white dresses. Someone said peaches and another added cream, both win, they were all of that and then some. Incidentally they were building a $250,000 building near the heart of the city. The contract has been awarded to a Negro builder from Dallas and the foundation is being laid as this is written. Coming down from El Paso the other day I ran across Attorney W. M. Lawson from Waco. He was just returning from a extended stay in Douglas, Arizona. He informs me of the development and the opening for settlement of large tracts of government land in the vicinity. He says a golden opportunity awaits the race settler there and urges all who can to take up a homestead there. Hates Restaurants Down here in Houston where I make my headquarters with the Yates Printing Company, are two brother owners of the shop. On my last trip here and on this trip I have asked both out to lunch with me, oh, yes. I was going to pay for it myself, but I have always met with a rebuff. To hear them plead against going you would thik I was trying to poison them. They just hate restaurants, that's all. It has often been said that there is a double for every one of us some where in the world. So I am under the delusion that I have seen some of my California friends down here. I will give you the name of some of them: Grand Chanseeir J. C. Rivers taking up a collection in the Bethel Baptist Church; J. B. Bass heavyweight editor, preaching in a tent on San Filipe Roads Daley Hill swinging down Milam Street, F. M. Roberts reading announcement in C. M. E. Church, J. L. Ealey, Nane Wiley, Walter Butler, Well, I saw their double, that's all. Where, no matter.

Price $2.00 "Could a Franklin or a Priestly have seen in a vision of the future the steamship taking the place of the sailing vessel, the railroad train of the wagon, the reaping machine of the scythe, the threshing machine of the flail; could he have heard the throb of engines that in obedience to human will, and for the satisfaction of human desire, exert a power greater than that of all the men and beasts of burden of the earth combined; could he have seen the forest tree transformed into finished lumber—into doors, saashes, blinds, boxes or barrels, with hardly the touch of a human hand; the great workshops where boots and shoes are turned out by the case with less labor than the old-fashioned cobbler could have put on a sole; the factories where, under the eye of a girl, cotton becomes cloth faster than hundreds of stalwart weavers could have turned it out with their hand looms; could he have seen steam hammers shaping mammoth shafts and mighty anchors, and delicate machinery making tiny watches; the diamond drill cutting through the heart of the rocks and coal sparing the whale; could he have realized the enormous saving of labor resulting from improved facilities of exchange and communication—sheep killed in Australia eaten, fresh in England, and the order given by the London baker in the afternoon executed in San Francisco in the morning of the same day; could he have conceived of the hundred thousand improvements which these only suggest, what would he have inferred as to the social condition of mankind?" This, in the exquisite style of Henry George, opens us into the field of inquiry wherein we at once seek to discover the cause of growing poverty amid advancing wealth. The association of poverty with progress was the great enigma of the times until Henry George produced his "Economic Principles", of which this little volume is a reliable and trustworthy adrignment. He sought to find the law which associates poverty with progress and increases want with wealth, and, after showing that wages are not drawn from capital but from the product of labor for which they are paid, he proves, with remarkable power of persuasion, and in a fresh and elevated style, that the only functions of capital are those of increasing the power of labor to produce wealth. The cause of poverty amid advancing wealth must be traced to the laws of distribution. The law which determines what part of the produce is distributed to the labor as wages must be separated, for close examination, from the rest. From this separation we may find a remedy, a way to remove poverty in considering what may be hoped for: 1. From greater economy in government. 2. From a better education of the working classes and improved habits of industry and thrift. 3. From combinations of workmen for the advance of wages. 4. From the co-operation of labor and capital. From governmental direction and interference. 6. From a more general distribution of land. In considering the first, our author proves that "no reduction in the expenses of government can of itself cure or mitigate the evils that arise from a constant tendency to the unequal distribution of wealth". But he believes that the education of the working classes and improved habits of industry and thrift may do much to relieve the workman from want; while the combinations of workmen for the advance of wages "are destructive of the very things which workmen seek to gain through them—wealth and freedom"; and very little can be hoped from cooperation, governmental interference or from a more general distribution of land, for: "To extirpate poverty, to make wages what justice commands they should be, the full earnings of the laborer, we must therefore substitute for the individual ownership of land a common ownership. . . . We must make land common property." This, then, is the remedy, the panacea proposed by Henry George. Some have regarded it as visionary. Others have believed it to be a thoroughly practical and workable plan, calculated to remove at once, and for all times, the cause of poverty amid overwhelming wealth. Whatever may be the consense of opinion, the book has been translated into a dozen languages and read by millions the world over—an unmistakable indication that it carries a message for all who are affected by the rules of taxation under which we live—that is, to every one of us. LEVIATHAN Mr. Bolitho writes journalism with a philosophic detachment; his papers are at once commentary and interpretation. He is more interested in the implications of current politicism than in the policy of ephemeral office-holders; he is poking around the scenes while the public out front is applauding the speeches and watching the exits. When he writes that "changing guard at Buckingham Palace is the state Ballet of the English", he sums up British imperialism in a phrase; his paper on Curzon and Chicherim has the flavor of journalism in its best estate.

The proportion of text to commentary in this small volume reminds one of a book on, say, the Epistle of James. The Introduction and Notes, however, are very far from regarding the text as infallible. But quite apart from them, the Autobiography reveals the features of a vain and injured woman. In an appendix there is a letter from Tolstoy to his daughter after his departure from home. The purpose of the appendix seems to be the presentation of Tolstoy's side of the case. It is, alas! disillusionizing in the extreme. Both parts of this sad and important book prove that the worst you can do for people is to quote them in their own defense.

Their misguided steadfastness is the stuff out of which heartaches are made, and if the reader is so constituted as to be able to extract profit from their vacillations, he will enjoy "Love Courageous."

Spingarn, one time professor at Columbia, Major of Infantry in the A. E. F., but best of all for some years Chairman an dnow Treasurer of the Board of the N. A. A. C. P., has published a collection of his poems, and those who love him for his sympathy and daring and unswerving battle for justice, will want to know what is in it. It is a small volume, only one hundred and forty pages, but beautifully printed and full of verses that move rhymically, with smooth cadence and always with rhyme. After these days of bumping over cobble stones it is good to ride with one's poet along a smooth road. The road takes us through many experiences and moods. The earliest verse has a swagger in the love songs; then the youth sees visions, and in the New Hesperides, the best known of the poems, shows the America of our dreams.

All these threads ofong the poems together, yet those that deal with any are few. The sheer beauty of the poems is marvellous. I wish quote many of them. The poet deeply stirred by love. Later comes the champion of the unpopular cause with his "Fate of a Scholar", and then the soldier giving us a glimpse of other soldiers and of war. All these threads of a life string the poems together, yet those that deal with any incidents are few. The sheer beauty of the poems is marvellous. I wish I might quote many of them. The poet deeply stirred by love: "And I thought these were stars, and I did not see these Until the breath of her lips set my heart aflams And made it starlike so that it could understand the stars". The lover of nature: "The March mists melting into flowers." "Winds ripping with the rich delight of spring." But I am going to satisfy myself with giving one poem in its entirety. It is written at Amenia where there was a great conference once upon a time. But I am going to satisfy myself with giving one poem a try.

All the world is rent with doom But here these furies find no room; Here all is quiet; all is peace, Roses and illies, my garden fleece. But the rose whispers: 'Why do you stay When my soft petals fly away?' The lily saye: 'Dreamer of dreams, Why do you linger beside these streams?' The larkapur says: 'I loved a man, But that was when the red blod ran.' The fxlove cries: 'Why stand and wait, When every moment is rich with fate?' The hollywood with pride aglow Cries, 'Soldier of peace, I bid you go.' O garden of dreams, is there no peace Even in your own soft release? Must the blind fury of worlds at war Dim the light of your garden star? Is there no haven horizon-free From the dark vision of misery?" DANCE WHI CLUB ANCE. WHERE?

Several of the articles in this volume were finished within a few weeks of his death and a series of studies which was the nucleus of a book he had projected is included also. Dr. Stuart P. Sherman, head or the department of English language and literature, University of Illinois, has recently issued a second printing of "The Genius of America". The larger amount of discussion in this book is devoted to the mediocrity of American literature. Whether our readers will agree with Dr. Sherman or not is a matter to be subsequently settled. But they will certainly regard his exquisitely academic style without reproach. The book is from the publishing house of Charles Scribner's Sons. 0—00—0 Lloyd C. Griffith who regards Upton Sinclair as "the most spectacular thinker of 1924", has consented to interpret for the readers of this page Mr. Sinclair's exhaustive study of American journalism. "The Brass Check". 0----00----0 "Byron and Greece, by Harold Spender, just issued by Scribner, contains a large amount of new material bearing on the romantic story of the poet's life-long attachment to Greece and of his death in her cause. The full story of the burning of Byron's memoirs is given in a concise and authentic form, and there is a special chapter on the episode of the taking of the Greek Marbles from Athens by the Earl of Elgin, which elicited the famous "Curse of Minerva". Judge Edward A. Perry, the eminent English jurist, author of "What the Judge Thought" and "Seven Lamps of Advocacy", has written a book which takes into account the popular interest in famous and sensational trials, an interest which he maintains is not of a morbid nature or due merely to a seeking after unwholesome sensations. His book is called "The Dawn of the Law." to be published by Charles. Scribner's Sons, discusses famous cases as tragedies, comedies, one part-pieces, farces, melodramas, crook dramas, and supernatural plays. In his chapter "Concerning the Eternal Triangle", he deals at length with the Thaw case. 0----00----0 For probably the first time in American literary history, cameraman of the newsreel companies came to a publisher's office to "shoot" an author in the act of signing a contract. The author was Nathalie Crane, ten-year old Brooklyn poet, whose first book, THE JANITOR'S BOY, is being published by Thomas Seltzer. The announcement that the book would be published took the New York newspapers, and those of the whole country by storm. In New York it was greeted by long front-page stories, editorials, feature stories, and it put a mob of movie and cameramen on the youthful poet's trail. Critics who have read little Natalie's verses say that not only is she the most talented of the youthful writers, but that much of her verses is a distinct achievement judged even by adult standards. Probably no American author has been the subject of so much popular acclaim before the publication of his first book. Natalia Crane is of the same family as Stephen Crane, that meteoric American author, friend of Joseph Conrad, subject of Thomas Beer's recent biography, who in his short life achieved lasting fame as a novelist. She is descended of a long line of illustrious statesmen and men of letters on her father's side, and on her mother's from an equally illustrious Spanish family, of whom a member was Minister of State to Ferdinand and Isabella. 0----00----0 Iconoclast, author of the notable biography of J. Ramsay MacDonald, has written ENGLAND'S LABOUR RULERS, which has just been published by Thomas Selitzer, publisher of J. RAMSAY MACDONALD. The new book contains biographies and studies of the twenty-seven men and the one woman in the Ministry, and is the only book which gives an account of the brilliant group now governing Great Britain. Each biography is accompanied by a pen-and-ink portrait of its subject. 0—00—00 David Grew, author of THE TWO COYOTES (Seltzer), a novel of the Alberta prairie, says that in all his life in the West he never met a guntoter, or any of the stock characters of Western fiction.

Edwards, for the Associated Press 116. What Race woman was a member of the U. S. Secret Service during the Civil War? When the war broke out, Harrinet Tubman, whose activities in the Underground Railroad earned her the cognomen of "The Moses of her people", secured a letter from Governor Andrew of Massachusetts and set out for Washington, where from the proper authorities she secured an appointment in the secret service of the Federal Government. With this appointment went a written order to all federal commanders, military, and naval, to give her all facilities, transportation and rations necessary to fulfilment of her duties as she should see them. 117. What Negro was buried side by side with a famous American Naval Officer? In the War of 1812, Commodore Lawrence, commanding the U. S. S. Chesapeake, sailed out of Boston Harbor with half of his crew composed of Negro 'sailors, and attacked the British frigate "Shannon" off Massachusetts Bay. Negro bugler, who was the commanders orderly, sounded the attack, which was against tremendous odds. Lawrence shuced his last order though fatally wounded, to his orderly that he might transmit it to the crew: "Don't give up the ship". The bodies of the Commodore and his Negro bugler were buried side by side at Halifax with military honors. 118. Who was the only American survivor of the British ship "Belgian Prince" sunk durning the Great War? William Snell, a Negro of Jacksonville, Fla., was the only American survivor of the "Belgian Prince", which was torpedoed during the Great War. Mr. Snell says, "As the torpedo hit the engine room, a submarine quickly came to the surface, drawing alongside and taking our captain. We were then ordered to the deck of the submarine which slowly submerged, leaving us to drown, and I was saved only because I had hidden a life preserver under my raincoat." **NEXT WEEK'S WHATNOTS** ...119...What race woman commanded a formidable expedition during the Civil War? 120.

AN OPEN LETTER (To The California Eagle) Dear Editor:—Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say a few words of interest to our race. There are hundreds of our people coming to the City of Los Angeles and the State of California each week, and thousands today are without jobs. This condition is getting alarming with our people. Many of our best people from the East and South, men and women that stand for something in their community, are told that this is land that flows with milk and honey, and that the Garden of Eden was located in California, and there was no restriction, plenty of work, and the cemetery was the only place that was short of men and women, and this was due to the fact that people lived on and never died. These people sell and give away their belongings at home many of whom have nice modern homes, and nice farms and come here to seek the Kingdin of earth, and all other things would be added, only to find nothing in favor of the Black Man. No work, restrictions on every hand, nothing to do but to walk around in this garden of Eden until the serpent beguiles him. He makes a little investment expecting to get work to meet his obligations, then he is, told we don't work colored and his poor wife or daughter has to get out and toil daily to help take care of these obligations, and that's why many of our wives and daughters go astray. So let the so-called leaders of our race, and our political leaders who are always trying to put something over for the other fellow, use that energy in trying to put something over or himself and the race, then and only then will he be a real race leader. Form a committee and petition the proper authorities to see that more of our people are given employment, and I am sure these that are in authority will take this matter under consideration. Ask, and it shall be given, knock and the door will be open. We have shouted and prayed for it long enough, and let us act now. Y. R. CUNNINGHAM, the tailor, 107 Central Avenue. HARMONY LODGE No. 481, I. B. P. O. E. OF W. OF SANTA BARBARA GIVES GRAND BALL. Harmony Lodge, No. 481, gave their Great Ball on the night of May and at Recreation Center, a beautiful building. The dance was well attended by out of town Brother Elks andators from Los Angeles--Bro. Wm. Anderson, Bro. Johnnie Norwood, Bro.

Perfect order prefilled and a good time was had by all. Mrs Bros. Orchestra, rendered the best Jazz and waltz selections. The Eiks had the largest attendance any local organization heretofore; it is only one of the good times that the colored people of Santa Barbara. The members of Harmony Lodge to thank those who attended the first effort, the support has en- gaged them to such an extent un- likely will see that everybody will be an enjoyable time at all of their meetings in the future. Draft must be given the Arrange- ment Committee for their uniting ef- fairs crowned with success. CHAR. S. NEWTON, Exalted Ruler Houston, Texas, May 13, 1924.—The public Schools of this city thib- dle their annual May Day Fete and Track Meet, in which thousand school children par- lade, and which was witnessed of over twenty-five thou- sands filled to over flowing the of the Houston Ball Club Houston League. ```markdown ``` and colorful sight, resplendent with everything that goes to make up a gala day. White members of the board of education witnessed presentation from three boxes reserved especially for them, otherwise the back ground was all black. The B. T. Washington school presented living statuary of Goddess of Liberty idealistic of Liberty and Citizenship. It received a wonderful ovation. Cream of the May pole dances was the sixteen little girls from Gregory School. They were nearly all of the same size, colorfully dressed and wonderfully drilled, and the little Queen of the day possessed all the regal qualities necessary in this land of ours where every man, and woman is supposed to be a sovereign. PASADENA By: W. MATT SOLOMON PASADENA PEOPLE ACQUIRE VALUABLE PROPERTY Mr. James L. and Bertha L. Turner of 920 Worcester Ave., prominent in business and social circles of the Crown City and owners of much valu- able local realty, have just this week made an important addition to their holdings through the purchase of a palatial residence of 10 rooms, con- sisting of every modern convenience, ad situated at 725 Winona Ave. The property has been acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Turner for use as a perma- nent residence, and is indeed a most charming home. Mr. William H. Litchfield, of Columbus, Ohio, and for some time a visiting relative of Attorney and Mrs. C. A. Jones at their beautiful estate No. 40 West Mountain Street, has also recently purchased valuable business property on North Fair Oaks Ave. Mr. Litchfield is a successful business man of Columbus, but seems to be fast coming under the spell of the Crown City's charm. Both of these transactions, involving some of the choiceest property in Pasadena, and running far into the thousands as a consideration, were negotiated through "The Phillips Co." the well-known local real estate firm, of which James T. Phillips, the local attorney and James T. Phillips, Jr., his son, are the owners and managers. Brotherhood Class Notes A large crowd was in attendance to greet the Brotherhood Class in its observance of Mother's Day. The affair was rather unique as heretofore the day has been fittingly celebrated by a program usually presented by the girls or women of the Sunday School. The excercises of the school were carried out as usual and just after the teaching of the lesson in classes the brotherhood classes ascended the choir in a body beginning immediately the program arranged. After an opening song by the Men's Class, scripture reading and prayer by Mr. J. Harrison; a mother's Day Poem, "Mother Mine" by Eva Solomone, followed by five minute talks by each of the following men on the subjects assigned them. Mother in the home, by Van Williams; School, C. Mills; Sunday School, R Troy. Following these talks was the rendition of Mothers' Prayer by Capt. Wm. Reynolds which was sung with much expression and added color of pathos to the occasion. Capt Reynolds was at his best and we doubt whether he has ever sung as feelingly as he did on this occasion. The program was further extended by a continuity of talks by Roy Tanner. Mother in the church; at the Cross, by W. H. Harrison; Solo, Holy City by T. R. Harrison. which was wonderfully delivered. The last speaker on the program was the pastor, Dr. Madison Young, who spoke from the subject Mother in the Pulpit, which resulted in a sermonette, which, with nicely chosen words filled our hearts with joy, and too, with some sad, pathete reminiscences of mother, Mr. Homer Jones and Revs. North and Danny made appropriate remembrances, which collection was auditioned and filled to capacity only expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the order of the program. The brotherhood class is very consistently attended, being the second largest class ni the Sunday school, composed of the most influential men of the church. The class is taught by Mr. W. Matt Solomon with R. Turner as his able assistant. We take the opportunity of extending a permanent invitation to the men of the church who are non attendants to be present next Sunday at 9:30 a.m. WHAT NEXT? The time for graduation is near at hand for the boy and girl graduates and with their coming out they are confronted with "What Next?" The many sacrifices made by the parents to make their sons and daughter what they would have them be, the many air castles built and burst over night are mere shadows when you think of the many obstacles one must face while trying to "make it." We look with disgust upon those of our group who have money in these banks, drawing 4% and they ride around in an automobile, while the other fellow takes that very money, loans it out for the erection of massive structures, office buildings and hotels for the employment of their youth while we saunter along the street and admire its architectural outline. The "what next" that confronts our boys is the barbershops, porter, railroad porter, chanfour and the like, while the girls face the drudgery of some hot kitchen. Who is responsible for this condition of affairs? We would like a solution. HIGH SCHOOL NOTE Despite the fact that members of the faculty when addressing those of our group make enunciations, one would think they were interested in our welfare. However, it comes to light that all the Negro boys were called on the carpet to be interrogated concerning their continued use of the plunge which is for the recreation of the entire personnel of the school. While the faculty admits it cannot refuse Negro pupils the use of the plunge, they would like to know what the boys think of the objections made by a certain bunch of strainers whom we suspect are from "down yonder." We insist however that the boys and girls of our group would conduct themselves as ladies and gantlemen and thus offset that prevailing stigma so prevalent among the whites that all "Negroes are alike," and again during a recent assembly on a certain occasion the boys and girls of our group were to have been made goats of when they seized the situation immediately and marched out in a body. We cannot conceive of a faculty porting to be of the highest intellectual standard to stand for the action of and allow such enjoyment as they call it to be heaped upon a fellow student, while among that number were boys who have brought, much glory and honor to the school and were it not for them, the old banner of P. H. S. would have trailed in the dust. It is a great thing to get glory but not to be aggranded at the expense of another. The occasion we speak of was a "Coon Hunt." Fav Over and Fred Over, Jr., the daughter and son of Mrs. Hattie Over of South Vernon avenue, have just returned after a stay of two years in Georgia where they have been attending school. FRIENDSHIP CHURCH The order of service at Friendship was very enthusiastic all day. Beginning in the morning the Sunday School was allied to capacity full of action which lent much color to the service the rest of the day. The superintendent is urging all to attend on time, with their own bible and has been rewarded for his consistency by a daily showing at the opening hour. The growing service was largely attended and the pastor spoke from the book of Jeremiah, along the line of instruction in school lesson. He said constancy in the faith as was striking- exemplified in the life of Jeremiah. The Senior Mission Society will hold its regular Sunday afternoon service at 3 p. m. The public is cordially invited to attend. The Junior Mission Society is making plans for their third Sunday services details of which will be announced later. Rev. W. M. Prince of the A. M. E. Church is filling the pulpit of the 1st A. M. E. Church during the absence of Pastor J. M. Brown who is East attending the conference. En route back he will visit his sisters in Louisville, Ky. stopping at Topeka, his home town also. Rev. Prince is to be commended for the way he is keeping up the interest in the church. THE STAFF OF THE NEW BUILDING PROJECT MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT The half-way house has been passed and we are now on the home stretch of our rally's end. Since the organization of the club they have assumed their individual obligations and gone to work ardently to raise their proposed obligation in a friendly sort of viling. Entertainments of all kinds have been the order of affairs, and most wonderful results have accrued thru the efforts of the respective Captains. In some instance the clubs have united in order to not retard, the work, consequently some clubs are larger than others, yet all are working to the very edge of their strength that the whole amount of $9,000.00 will be raised. Those who attend the services regularly can see the dire necessity of our faithful effort to raise money for the purpose of erecting a larger house of worship. Crowded conditions add much to the discomfort of worshippers, notwithstanding our membership and attendance is increasing continually. The staff is making an urgent request on the entire personnel of the church to give to their uttermost, that we may not fall short of our expectations. The sociological side of our church life has been greatly enhanced through the activity of the clubs and we hope for the continuance of the same, as everybody works with so much ease when their relationship socially is enthusiastic. Van Williams, adjutant of the staff has spared neither time nor pains in writing the respective clubs lending them encouragement and urging each of them to do their full duty. Those of us who are at least pessimistic as to whether we need larger quarters we invite you to come to our Sunday School and see our crowded condition and the inevitable confusion that naturally results from such close contact and the only way to eliminate or improve them is build more commodious accommodations. Will you help us? Will you do your duty? The erection of such an edifice is not only for us but for the posterity of our posterity; as a monument to civilization and a training ground for our already waiting youngsters. The edifice is to be thoroughly equipped to fill every want and desire of the time and no stone will be left unturned that calls for complete equipment. The staff extends to each and every club its best wishes for a successful drive that our motto may be: "A new Friendship" WM.

Carter, is one of the greatest young shepherds in the State. Our pastor will bantize in the morning of the first Sunday. All are invited. WATTS NEWS Our services were above the standard. We had a gaad crowd, and our minister, Bro. Williams, took the stand at 11:20 a. m. He took his text from Daniel 2:24, 44, and Bro. Williams named all of the books of the Bible, and all the chapters and all of the verses and all of the words and all of the letters. And then gave the divisions of both the Old and New Testaments, naming the five major prophets, and then back to his text. He also showed the interpretation of the king's dream of his kingdom, and showing the many wonders of the Babylonian world, and of the wonders of King Nebuchadnezzar, the greatest known king of his day. So Daniel referred to the "God of Heaven". He said that, "And in the days of the Kings shalt the God of heaven set up a Kingdom, which shall never be left to another people. But it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever". We had a good number present to hear this message, and several strangers visited. The services for next Lord's Day Bible school at 9:45 a. m. and precking at 11 a. m. We wish to extend a corralal welcome to the public. You are always welcome to attend our services. Bro. A. H.

BANKS 1437 CENTRAL AVENUE POLITICAL POT R Titus Alexander has gone, to be present at the Democratic National Convention and help whoop up things for McAdco. He is on his way. For the Republican Convention there are several of the faithful who, we understand are willing to make the pilgrimage. But the man up at headquarters is slow, yes very slow in saying the word, and that's the difference in this instance between the Republicans and the Democrats. Judge Ira Thompson had the misfortune, we are informed to fracture his arm. it is said, however, that he is getting along nicely, and will be in fit shape to lead the ticket for Superior Judge on August 26. Judge Hugh Crawford informs us that he seeks promotion and we say by all means lets lift him up. The Judge has proved his worth and no doubt will receive a strong support for the position to which he aspirés. Sidney P. Dones says that no grass is growing under his feet in the 3rd Assembly district race, and that with the big lead he already has, will increase his lead at every jump. Much jockeying for place in the senatorial race for the 39th District is in order just now. Mouser and Pedrotti are the runners up and it will be a mooted question until the polls close as to who's who. And now on the pages of political history for Los Angeles and environs we have another notable; officially so; for we saw it written on his own sheet and that immortal is "Big Jim" which means the name of Bath House John, One Eyed Conneley, and Big Tim Murphy must go into the scrap heap and make way for the advent of "Big Jim". We now want to hear from the Young Men's Republican Club and all kindred organizations. A report from A. P. Alberga livewire of San Francisco states he all ready for Cleveland. Lucas C. Luke says that he is going to New York with the Democratic delegation and cork up Tammany Hall and report back to The Eagle. TENNIS CHATTER Jefferson High Girls Orgaize Tennis Club; Billy Cline, Now Mrs. Everett Roberts; Racqueteers bat May 30th. By William Mells Watson While the dear reader is perusing these lines, two happy looking persons are feasting their glimmers on their newly won, loving cups donated to the occasion by Dr. A. C. Carrott and Harry L. Beal representing the first open state championships in men's and ladies' singles and probably saturated with more athletic talent than was ever before assembled in these parts by our group. Just who the lucky pair are to be no human knows at this writing, but we venture that a certain lady of the Weatside is happier than all the males in town and a man outside of the city is the state champ. Billy Cline Marries Secretly Well folks you could have smacked us over with a cobweb last week when this earful was turned on. Billy Cline, one of the most beloved members of the Westside Ladies' Club has deceived us for many moons and with the utmost unconcern. Last Sunday, May 17th, from the platform of the Santa Fe Limited, Billy blushingly admitted that on February 5th, last friend Eeverett Roberts with his hand on a bible in San Diego, agreed to take her back talk for the balance of his natural life and Everett is a healthy man at that. The happy couple are on their way to South Carolina and way points, where they will eat on their friends and relatives for the next six months, returning West in November "Atta Boy". Rasquet Wielders T. C.

Rozier, Pastor Our Sunday School is still playing a great part in our Church services. Eager faces are present every Sunday and their little hearta seem so willing and to accept the truth. We can understand why the Master said "Except ye become as little children ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven." Rev. Rozier occupied the pulpit at 11:00 a. m., preaching from Matt. 11:28-30. "Come unto me all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Truthy God is talking to the people through His servant, and we find that it is our indispensable duty to hear the word of God; believe the word of God, and actually measure up to the word daily. Mt. Zion Baptist Church, together with the assistant pastor, worshipped with us at 3:00 p. m. at which time Rev. Williams brought us a wonderful message on Prayer, making our hearts rejoice to know of the wonderful privilege and access we have to God's bountiful storehouse. Rev. Rozier occupied the pulpit again at the evening services. Truly we rejoiced in the spiritual feast laid before us all day. We count it a glorious privilege to serve the lionic God. Our B. Y. P. U. is an exception to the average. There is real life in every department. The chairman of the program are striving to keep a good instructive, as well as spiritual program before us each Sunday. On last Sunday our program was at its best. One of the numbers presented on last Sunday was a Bible cake, presented by Brothers B. E. Hines, H. McClinney. This was a real edible cake baked from the Bible nd presented to the B. Y. P. U. The cake was turned over to Rev. Rozler and Rev. Rozler served the entire union with a sample. An excellent program is being prepared for next Sunday evening. There will be baptismal services on next Sunday morning. We are looking for a real spiritual feast. Your blessing is At Pleasant Hill. If you come believing, you will go home blessed. All Los Angeles is invited to come and worship with us. A free dinner is served every Sunday after morning services to our many friends and visitors. We opened Sunday morning at 6:00 a.m. with sunrise meeting, with Bro. Johnson and Bro. A. Williams in charge. 9:30 Sunday school had a large attendance. After class studies Mrs. Eva O. Solomon, director Religious Education reviewed the classes and gave a wonderful talk to the Sunday school which was indeed inspiring and uplifting. Great praise should be given her in the work she has taken, Collection 7:86. At the 11:00 o'clock services, Rev. J. D. Gordon and has assistance, Rev. J. Pias and Rev. Cole in the pulpit. At the 11:00 o'clock service the scripture reading was from the first book of Psalms, Prayer by Rev. Cole, Anthems "Ry the Waters of Babylon". Much credit should be given Mr. S. A. Lewis for she has a chair second to none. Come and hear. After the announcement Rev. J. D. Gordon took his text from the 18th chapter of Mathew: "For where or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst." "The conditions and the presence of Christ", this was beautifully illustrated so that the entire congregation was carried away into the divine presence of Christ. Prayed by Bro. Sandridge, which was very befitting to the sermon. Collection. Dismissal. A cordial invitation extended to the public to one and all to come to the services. Prayer meeting every Wednesday night. 7:30. Rev. J. D. GORDON, Pastor MAY E. FOWLKOS, Reporter. WESLEY CHAPEL M. E. CHURCH sth and San Julian St. A. P. Shaw, D.

Guy, Pastor Our Sunday School was very interesting last Sunday and our lessons were excellent. At the morning service, the pastor spoke from the text. "Will a man rob God? Bring all the tithes into the store house, and prove me therewith saith the Lord of hosts?" The large mixed audience gave splendid attention and showed their appreciation. A number of visitors were present. Both endeavors were well attended, and showed commendable interest in the endeavor work. At night the pastor spoke from the text. "I am doing a great work, and cannot come down, why should the work cease while I come down to you?" The audience was good and showed marked attention. Next Sunday will be general class and sacrament day. All come from an altar of prayer. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH Holding Its Services In The Y.M.C.A. Ninth and Hemlock streets We had splendid services all day on Sunday. In the Sunday School the lesson was carefully studied and applied. The many strangers received the usual cordial welcome. At the 11:00 o'clock service Dr. Prowd preached a most helpful discourse from Proverbs 3:6: "In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths". Our dear sister Clara Perry who goes this week back to New Orleans, was given the most sincere best wishes of the church and pastor. At the usual-hour the B. Y. P. U. held its sessions and carried out a program full of rich information concerning the early history of the church and its teachers and Apostles. The pastor closed the day's services by a timely sermon on Divine aid in extremity. All benefitted. Come and worship with us this Sunday. We will do thee good. Come praying for a blessing. All former Louisianaans are requested to meet at Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, Sunday, June 1 at 5 p. m. to discuss matters pertaining to their welfare. 1134 E 84th st. 548-1 1.

Advertising Rates Made Known Upon Application EDITORIALS NOW FOR THE NEW Y. M. C. A. BUILDING. As you travel over the country and note in all the large centers magnificent buildings for the Y. M. C. A. we immediately catch the thought of the short coming of our own home Los Angeles and feel that this is the one bright spot lacking out here and a silent prayer to hasten the time when this will be rectified is in order. According to the following pronouncement that time is upon us and it is up to our people to take advantage of the golden opportunity: Y. M. C. A. of City Launches $1,500,000 Campaign; Build- $150,000 and $200,000 With more than one-half of the Campaign goal secured in conditional pledges, the Y. M. C. A. of Los Angeles launched its preliminary Campaign last Friday noon at the Biltmore Hotel when more than 500 of Los Angeles' leading citizens gathered at a noon luncheon to accept a gift of one-half million dollars for the Soldiers' and Sailors' "Y" building at Los Angeles harbor. The Colored people have promised to meet the challenge for their building, with a minimum of $35,00 but hope to secure pledges for twice that amount. We have been waiting, talking and criticising for a long time because of inadequate facilities for our men and boys in this city, and now that the opportunity has come at last, what are we going to do about it? We believe that every red-blooded man and woman too, for that matter, in our group, will give to the limit, and let the other great cities of the country see that Los Angeles is as much interested in their boys and young men as they are. In the St. Louis campaign, a leading citizen of color made a pledge for $25,000 and a chauffeur gave a check for $1,000. This last gift is considered by all St. Louis people to be the greatest gift of the Campaign. Fellow citizens, let's put the proposition over in real Los Angeles fashion. BUSINESS MEN Delying further along business lines we find and finding we will relate the pronounced success of J. W. Coleman who conducts perhaps the most notable and successful employment agency of a member of our group in the entire country and absolutely the most successful one west-of the Mississippi River. In 17 years Coleman has placed through his agency 50,000 persons into positions of various kinds. His success has been his close attention to business looking after every detail thereof. His name is a household word and his success cannot be gain-said it speaks for itself. The Smith & Williams, undertakers, is another practical demonstration of the successful conduct of business; for on business principles this firm ranks favorably with any institution of its kind regardless of race. It was organized quite a dozen years ago and today stands as a monument to the business sagacity and determination of its founders. Shackelford and Loggins, Realty Brokers, have earned for themselves an enviable record in this line of effort. Hundreds of satisfied clients testify to the honor and integrity of this combination which has weathered the storm and stands amongst the headliners in the realm of realty firms. The Bateman Furniture Manufacturing Co. on Compton avenue can with pride be pointed to as a successful proposition. It is here that they take up the raw lumber and with skilled hands turn out some of the most beautiful and nifty furniture one would care to see. The Bateman Furniture Company is a demonstration of business along the line of manufacturing. The Lee Brothers, W. J. and E. M. Lee, have demonstrated their capacity to establish and maintain a strictly modern tonsorial parlor and to those who come their way they present one of the most complete and modern establishments of its kind in the entire country. George W. Whitley on East 2nd St. successful transfer company has lighted the path of progress and in a big way handles the business of some of the largest wholesale firms in the city; his effort has been a notable success. The Warren Brothers on Central avenue have not only made history for the race by a successful conduct of various business, notable among which is that of specializing in Trucking and the maintaining of a fleet of them and are the first of the race to successfully maintain and operate an up-to-date oil and gas station. They are shining marks of the successful race men in business. Mr. Eugene Johnson who conducts a class-A pharmacy on the West Side and serves the residence section thereof is a shining example of the capability of our young men in business. He has by close attention to business and giving real service to his customers established one of the foremost Drug Stores in the city and is preparing to move into even larger quarters and to construct one of the best appointed pharmacies in the city. Mrs. Stella Ross has demonstrated beyond per adventure the ability of the women of our group to successfully conduct business. From the ground floor on up she has built the Ross Confectionery on Central avenue near 18th. The same is a huge credit and a silent witness to the part being played by woman to make and conduct business concerns. A. J. Roberts Sons & Co., funeral directors, poineers in this line of effort, have kept pace with progress and step by step have built-up a business which takes its place among the leaders in business. This firm has played well its part and contributed its full quota for the propagation of business by war group ```markdown ``` HOW GOOD IS YOUR CREDIT?

Burns and Akers, who operate a Billiard Parlor on East 12th street near Central avenue by business methods and a close attention to the business side have been a noteworthy success. They have put on all the features in this line of effort that would tend to lift it up and have earned for themselves the name of reliable business men. ing of the bill was positively not, as Senator Shortridge has handsomely indicated, a rash or unpremeditated act; it was a slow, deliberate decision, utterly dispassionate and inevitable. Now, the economic significance of the enactment of this bill is simply that production which formerly was supervised by the Japanese immigrant must either be definitely curtailed What is the right job which waits just around the corner for the young man or woman of today, about ready, it may be, to leave the high school or college? This is the problem of ever increasing importance which demands the attention of civic and educational leaders, as well as of youth itself. According to the philosophy of Dr Harry L. Hollingworth, professor of psychology in one of America's greatest universities, and the author of several textbooks, there is a "right job" for everyone of earth's inhabitants, if only care in seeking and patience until it may be found are exercised. The belief of this expert is that one should do only the kind of work which is congenial—that which one really wants to do. Everything else will be drudgery, and the drudge is rarely a success at anything. Time was when the orator made the best lawyer, but today there is an equally responsible place for the man with a legal mind in the drawing up and preparation of important papers and the management of important business affairs. And so the modern division of other vocations could be cited indefinitely, but this will serve as an illustration. Parents must avoid forcing their boys and girls into careers for which they little or no fitness, while opposing their espousal of lines of activity which are congenial to the young people but obnoxious to their elders. Remember, all honest business is honorable and the right job consists in doing the thing that one really wants to do and wants badly enough to do regardless of what others may say. On this pathway lies success now and in the future.—Evening Herald. It begins to look like the Ku Klux Klan is creeping into queer places. For instance, the bone and sinew of the Republican party of Indiana seems to be diseased with the virus furnished by the Klan. With the passing of the Japanese Exclusion Act, it is well to reflect again and again on the part played by this thrifty people in the realm of production on these Western shores. When we visualize the same we cannot help but note the wonderful opportunity for our group unfolded therby. The burning question which now confronts us is, "Are we Equal to the Occasion?" While we played no part nor did we ask for exclusion for anybody; it is here, also the alien land law along with it. Without the asking, a tremendous opportunity is at hand. Nothing handed out on a silver platter, but a chance to work at a vocation which will yield a thousand fold more than any yet offered. The Japanese have been for years the agricultural kings of this section, they made and dictated absolutely the prices on the products of the soil. They had to work and work hard, the reward was worth while for in from seven to eight years they gained a competence for themselves and their families and financial independence. Now the position the Japanese occupied as producers of the soil is yours and the only question is—Will You Accept t? It means wealth, happiness and contentment. What will the answer be? The mobmers f the A. M. E. Church connection rejoiced for a moment when the Defender nounced Bishop W. T. Vernon assigned to this district. However, that rejoicing in so far as Bishop Vernon was concerned was short lived, for numerous persons had received messages announcing that it was Bishop Parks who had been assigned to this district. At any rate, it shows that the people are awaiting a rejuvenation, especially in the part of the district where the largest church is located, which happens to be this city and let it be either bishop, they want real aggressiv eaction that historic 8th and Towne avenue Church will regain its lost prestige. Imagine this great church, the pride of the denomination, West of the Missouri River, being relegated way back in its standing and the need of a head who will remedy this condition is apparent to the utmost. The people are not in a humor for any trafficking in political maneuvers or favoritism, the church itself is bigger than any man in it and the new bishop who comes this way is certainly expected to right the old ship of state so that she will weather the storm. The note attached to President Coolidge's approval of the Japanese exclusion bill is both friendly and cordial in tone. He emphasizes that our relations must continue to be marked by amity and goodwill, that the main purpose of the bill is not to unsympathetically sever friendly relations with Japan but is to protect American property owners from ruthless invasion by foreign immigrants, who can never aspire to citizenship or to be safely assimilated. It is to be noted, also, that the bill provides for students and all governmental officials who may be traveling in the country purely for the sake of pleasure or study. A more cordial way of protecting our interests against foreign invasion could hardly have been accomplished; and whatever the "grave consequences" there may be growing out of the e delayed enactment of this bill, as emphasized in ambassador Hanihara's indignant letter, we may rest in proud assurance that the pass- 1807 Central Avenue (To be Continued) 'THE RIGHT JOB' WAITS.

NOTARY PUBLIC ing of the bill was positively not, as Senator Shortridge has handsomely inticated, a rash or unpremeditated act; it was a slow, deliberate decision, utterly dispassionate and inevitable. Now, the economic significance of the enactment of this bill is simply that production which formerly was supervised by the Japanese immigrant must either be definitely curtailed or taken over, partly or completely, by other hands. That it may be curtailed may be confidently anticipated, but that it may be taken over by other hands yet remains to be determined, indeed, by time. Doubts exist in most minds as to the chances of Negroes taking over this phase of production. They are, to an extent, well-founded, the result of reason—but it is to be believed, and not without reason, that by adaptation Negroes can, if they will, successfully produce in the markets of California. Adaptation, to be sure, is a slow, merciless process. Those who first tackle the job may meet martyrdom. But MAY is not MUST, and, in the slow process of adjusting themselves to this task, a decisive victory may be won. This optimistic view may be taken on its very face for all that it is worth. WOODROW WILSON: MASTER OF MAJESTIC PROSE. Our dead President first attracted attention by the marked literary excellence and significance of his speeches and essays. In tracing back his life, even his career reads like the story of a literary ideal. To him a polished sentence, a felicitous phrase were more than things for which wars are fought. They were a vast mine of erudition; and he, more than any other, demonstrated this most handsomely. Although his detractors, and especially those on "The American Mercury," give him but feeble anlause as a historian and as a statesman, they repeatedly remark that he "was a rhectorian, first and always." No more overwhelmingly is this hown than in his last public message, "The Road Away From Revolution," of which the opening sentence, "In these dark and anxious days, when all the world is at unrest, and, look which way you will, the road ahead is darkened by shadows, which tend dangers of many kinds, it is only common prudence that we should look about us and try to assess the causes of distress and the most likely means of removing them." is more than could be required of one aspiring to distinction as a rhectoricor. Wilson was a master of majestic prose. No one has jet been able to identify the qualities which made him a potent factor in matters of social reform. Nor has anyone been able to accurately account for his meteoric rise. But we hazard a conjecture: his place in history is strictly accountable to his ability to use words of crystal clearness with telling effect. Can you beat it?

"I have not undertaken to present in this book something that will cause the venom of prejudice to grow more poisonous; to arouse greater antagonisms; but to lay before a fair-minded, love-governed world the only real solution of any of the many mankind face. "Having lived, and battled in a world of prejudice, knowing that under the skin I was and am no different from any other human being, and knowing the fallacy of race prejudice, also the swiftness with which race prejudice vanishes when we know 'one another, I have tried to show how all can dwell side by side, good, patriotic citizens, living and allowing to live. "Not all the events described have occurred in the places where they have been placed in the story, but are based on actual happenings, nevertheless." Mr. Jones is also the author of a volume of verse which met with instant favor on its publication. It was the "Heart of the World and other Poems" dealing with the new thought to which the world is returning since the war, that of brotherhood and the deeper philosophies of life. The volume is the embodiment of beautiful thought, in beautiful expression and that musical rhythm which is so characteristic of the Negro who expresses himself in verse or music. He also wrote the words for the song, "Dear Old Boston", which has been adopted as the official song of the city. _____ bably the only Western story that hasn't at least one flash of a gun. His book tells the story of Bailey Bellard, a hermit nicknamed "The Coyote", and of a real coyote of the prairie. 0----00----0 A runaway at sixteen, tramp and in navy at twenty, editor of a London daily at thirty, an official at the British Foreign office at forty—that is the history of Rowland Kenney, author of a PEDLAR'S PACK (Seltzer) which many critics have called the finest short stories published this year. The stories are of navies, tramps, mechanics. It was while serving as Commissioner on the British political mission to Poland, and later with Sir Esme Howard, later British Ambassador to the United States, on the Interialled Mission of the Peace Conference to Poland, that he went back in imagination to his early rostering days and wrote the stories which have now been published. From working as a navy he turned to newspaper work, and in 1910 was publisher of the London Valynt Fair. Soon after he became editor of the Daily Herald. He entered the diplomatic service during the war. THE BOY IN THE BUSH, the new D. H. Lawrence novel which Thomas Seltzer is soon to publish, is, astory of Australia, like his last KANGAROO, Lawrence wrote this novel in collaboration with Miss M. L. Skinner, a well known Australian writer. While KANGAROO dealt with a man's soul's adventures in urban, after-the-war Australia, the new novel deals with a boy and pioneer life in the bush. The magic evocation of the glamorous Australian atmosphere which was so impressive a part of KANGAROO is matched by the "spirit of place" which Lawrence has incorporated in The BOY IN THE BUSH. ATTY.

A day is set apart on which they will present their program annually and camp grounds, meeting places, etc., will be provided. Counting The Ballot Another forward piece of legislation was the enactment of a proposal by the Rules Committee to take counting of the ballots cast or the election of officers and bishops from the floor of the General Session into a private room. Not only did this measure carry but a resolution adopting the Australian Ballot System also prevailed. Hot Contest Over California The bitterest test on the floor of the convention was over the districting of the California and Puget Sound Conferences. These conferences were a part of the Fifth Episcopal District and at the 1820 Session were detached therefrom and joined to South America. At the Conference just closed, the Oklahoma Conference was detached and the Oklahoma Conference were joined to California and Puget Sound to comprise the Eighteenth Episcopal District. Louisiana and Oklahoma had long been united and although Oklahoma was willing, Louisiana waged a three-day fight over the new arrangement. The result is that instead of going to the General Conference in company with eight or ten delegates, California, at the next Session, will be a part of a delegation about thirty-two strong which will greatly add to her usefulness and to her right to induce the leading pulteers of the connection to come into the district. Bishop Parks To Live in California Of course there was great rejoicing when it was announced that the Episcopal Committee had assigned Bishop H. E. Parks to the Eighteenth District. Bishop H. Parks was already signified his intention of residing in California and a very intensive campaign of evangelism and church extension will be inaugurated forthwith in the Puget Sound-California and Oklahoma Conferences. Dr. J. H. Wilson was the California representative on the Episcopal Committee and on the Engagement Committee. We have the pleasure of serving on the Revisioncipline Committee and also on that of Rules of Order to both of which committees we acted as legal advisor.

Mr. Buston, who conducts a small barber shop at 2324 East Madison st., is becoming quite popular in that line of work.

FRESNO Pilgrim Rock Lodge No. 19335 and Queen of Sheba Household No. 26 turned up in full regalia for their Annual Thanksgiving Sermon Sunday afternoon, the 11th inst. The Rev. W. M. Blakeney of Hanford preached the sermon which was very forceful and greatly enjoyed by a crowded house. Pleasure lovers of Fresno were given an unusual treat last week when the members of the Quintillion Club staged a carnival at F and Ticolume streets. Nearly all the social and fraternal organizations had booths at the affair, and an abundance of confetti and serpentine added much to the spirit of the occasion. The feature of the carnival was the minstrel show in which most of the local musical talent appeared. Their best number, by far, was Miss Helen Walfe, who sang "Oh, Baby", and scored a big hit. Mrs. Engin Hinds and Ben Watkins sponsored the affair which proved a huge success. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Roy Calhoun have returned from their honeymoon spent in Oakland and are now comfortably enclosed in their beautiful new bungalow in Madison avenue. Their wedding was an event of a forty night ago, the Rev. T. M. Davis coming down from Oakland to read the ritualistic service. Society has been very gracious toward the newly wedded couples who have recently returned from their honeymoons. On last Thursday evening Miss Berry gave a large dancing party at the commodious Granville Berry residence in B street in honor of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Bigby, Jr. (Ana Dixon). Shaded lights throughout the rooms, together with the luxurious furnishings made the dwelling an ideal setting for the elegant frocks worn by the young ladies. Cooling refreshments were served on the big veranda. About two score enjoyed the affair. Preceeding the dancing party, Mr. and Mra. Bigby were guests of honor at a very pretty appointed dinner over which Miss Rose Hannibal presided as hostess, at her hospitable domicile in B street. A silver bowl FOLKS WE WANT TO SAY filled with sweet peas graced the table, around which covers were laid for ten of the younger exclusive set Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. Lee Roy Calhoun were made the complimented guests at a large whist party given by Mr. and Mrs. William Hemmitt, at their spacious residence in F street. The affair was a brilliant one and the guestlist was composed mostly of the younger married contingent. About two score played in the games. Following which a buffet supper was served. Last Sunday afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Calhoun were at home to their many friends at a large reception at their lovely new home in Madison avenue. In the receiving line stood Mrs. William Hale, Mrs. Zella Mansfield and Mrs. Ed Jones. Cooling refreshments were served to the hundred or more guests who called during the afternoon. The Calhoun bungalow is artistic and luxuriously furnished. Both Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Bigby are World War veterans and held in high estimation at their places of employment. The Owl Drug Company, where the former is employed gave him a number of costly gifts, while the Sheriff's Office, where Mr. Bigby is attached presented him with a purse of seventy-five dollars. Hailing from Rho Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Sorority, University of California, at Berkeley, there came to our campus last Friday afternoon, Miss Nellie Williams. We are always proud to have visitors from the various universities of the country. But we are especially pleased to embrace those who bring with them the greetings of honorary scholarship from their Alma Mater. Miss Williams has distinguished herself at the University of California, by meriting high scholastic honors. It has been rumored that she expects to attend the Summer school at our University. Miss Williams would be a decided asset to our group, and we extend to her our heartiest friendliness, and our friendliest welcome. Among the sources of greatest information that had their benig last week in our immediate group, was an address delivered to the Belle Lettres Club last Friday, by Miss Alice Stoair. Miss Stoair comes to us from the prominent musical societies of Cleveland, Ohio. After pursuing a very extensive musical course in some New England Conservatory, she came to the U. S. C. College of Music. On several occasions she has proven to us that her power to present the compositions of musical masters was not in meagre form. But last Friday, when she spoke to us on 'The evolution of the Pipe Organ', a became obvious that her talent was not confined to LOS ANGELES, CAL. the rendition of musical compositions, for she readily taught us about the mechanism of the "Pipe Organ". Miss Stoard is a soror of Uppellon Chapter, Delta Sigma Theta. Ivan Johnson, University of California, at Berkeley, and Grant Venerable. University of California, at Los Angeles, could no longer stay away form the nurture of their Alma Mater, and, as a result, they visited us last Monday. Johnson and Venerable are Alpha men. The Trojan, which is U. S. C.'s official newspaper, has said in this week's edition that Mack Spears a Negro student and song writer, is a worthy contestant for boxing honors. Campus comment among the athletic officials leads me to believe that the pugilistic powers of Mack Spears, will soon bring about a revelation of new and enthusiastic boxing teams at the University. Alpha Delta Chapter has give us the privilege to call him "dummy", for he is a pledge to Alpha Phi Alpha. We are grateful to Upsillo Chapter for their cordial invitation to a delightful party last Wednesday evening, which was given in hoor of Mr. Morelad, enroute to the University of Illinois. You may expect to see us very seldom during the next two weeks for final examinations are facig us. I am confident that I express the consensus of the attentive audience that listened to the program last Sunday evening which was given by Alpha Delta Chapter, when I say that the old as well as the young were inspired to tear down their own difficulties, to transform their own lives, and to start out on a new path which leads to a goal of success and achievement.

Of special interest is the monthly review of current events. In this much interest and enthusiasm are manifested, as it allows everyone to express his opinions and to display with every advantage his intellectual wares. It has been a feature of the program that has done much to bring about unity of thought and action. Out of it has grown a deeper interest in the trend of the times and a greater responsibility toward shaping them favorably in the effort to secure the constitutional rights of black people. A list of the topics suitable for discussion has been submitted by the committee on publicity as follows: 1. The Negro Sanhedrin: Did it accomplish that? complish anything? 2. Was the Negro Press Association correct in opposing unionism and economic radicalism? 3. Is Marcus Garvey a menace to Negro Advancement? Aside from this review and discussion of current events, ways and means of launching an extensive program of publicity, plans for staging the mammoth pageant which is to be under the direction of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, methods of putting over the membership drive, as well as contributions from the floor will be heard.

FOUR LOTS. --- ```markdown ``` I sat on nothing but a nightgown, and Mr. Binnicker said to me, "You can go to go with us; we are going to whist hell out of you tonight." They sat into Mr. Binnicker's automobile and they drove off down the road about a mile and near the Mr. Sutcliffe's house, they stopped and I was whipped with a buggy trace. They beat me until I could hardly walk. They were cursing all the time they were whipping me, and never stopped until an automobile drove up and I was released and told, "Go out through the woods," and as I ran, I heard some one say, 'Now I guess you will keep your damn mouth shut.' Mr. Binnicker was the one who said this to me as I ran off. I saw and recogized Mr. Binnicker, Mr. Willie Ford, Mr. Louie Garrick, Mr. Whetstone, Mr. George Hutto, Mr. Cecl Hutto, and Mr. Jim Fogle, but I do not remember seeing Mr. Bennie Davis. "Mr. George Binnicker, and Willie Ford are the men who pulled me out of bed and choked me, and the others were with them, and they were all drinkink and cusing. I was bloody from the whipping licks, my nightgown was covere dwth blood. I have been living in this settlement for three years and am the mother of four children and have never had any trouble with anyone at all, as I have always worked in the field and attended to my own business and I do not yet know what I was whipped abut". The story of Mrs. Thomas was corroborated by her son, Marion, and by a statement signed by three local white boys, who witnessed the whipping. OBEDIENCE We should be obedient in all things and to everyone, especially those who are older than we. We should never hesitate to obey and we should always be willing to do the rikse task without a trown or displeasure. Some of the young people of today think that the only thing, at least one of the things that marks them as being "grown-up" is to "disobey their parents. This is not so and further on in life they will soon find this out and feel sorry for their wrong-doings in so far as obedience is concerned. GET SOMEBODY ELSE The Lord had a job for me; but I had so much to do I said: "You get somebody else, or wait till I am through." I don't know how the Lord came out; no doubt He got along; But I felt kind o' sneaking like! I knew I'd done God wrong. One day I needed the Lord—needed Him right away; But He never answered me at all; and I could hear Him say Down in my accusin' heart: "Child, I've got too much to do; You get somebody else or wait till I get through. Now, when the Lord has a job for me, I never try to shirk I drop what I have on hand and do the Lord's good work. And my affairs can run along or wait till I get through; Nobody else can do the work that God has marked out for you. —Adopted from Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Then being obedient to God our Father. We should obey Him always. By throwing off the sinner's yoke and put on that of the Christian and then by bringing others to Him will be in obedience to His word. This will also be pleasing Him too. And when He has something for us to do we should never hesitate but always be eager and willing to do anything that He might ask of us. We can and should be obedient in many things and we will not only be pleasing our earthly friends and relatives but be pleasing our Heavenly Father as well. Dr. R. W. Underwood, Pastor Sunday last was featured with unusual enthusiasm at Phillips Chapel. The pastor preached two interesting sermons full of power and thought. The echoi keeps up to the usual standard of singing the gospel. You should hear this choir sing. The Tacky Party given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Brown, 3514 Paloma street, under the auspices of the Busy Bee Club. Mrs. C. B. Toney, Captain was a grand success. All were dressed tacky. A prize cake was to be given the tackiest person but they had a hard time deciding which were the tackiest especially between Mrs. Butler, Mrs. Hart and Mrs. Dean. The only way it was decided was by drawing straws. Mrs. Hart received the prize. The Sunday school as well as the Epworth League is playing its part in developing the youth of the church. All members of the church are requested t be present Sunday. The pastor has asked each member to look forward to the August rally. All clubs and boards are working to that end. Come out and hear our pastor deliver a fiery message. Strangers are welcome. DR. CORNELIA EVANS, D. C., N. D., PH. D. Hours: 10-2; And by Appointment 1415 $ _{2} $ E. Washington Street Sunday morning our pastor was at his best. He preached a soul stirring sermon. The spirit was indeed high. He took his text from Matt. 25:46, using for his subject, "Hell Bound Express." At the evening service he spoke from Matt. 17:2-17:3; Malachi 4:2, using for a subject, "Sunset Lignament." Both services were well attended. Sunday school and B. Y. P. U, were largely attended. We thank God, our church is growing wonderfully under the leadership of our great pastor Rev. D. C. Khoz.

AUTOMOTIVE SECTION Statistics Show 5000 Victims of Motor Cars Were Under Fifteen Years of Age By. H. P. Stellwagen Manager Automobile Department, National Bureau of Casualty and Survey Underwriters Approximately 15,700 lives were lost in motor vehicle accidents (exclusive of grade-crossing collisions between motor vehicles and trains) in the United States during 1923, an increase of nearly 2000 over the record of 1922. If the grade-crossing fatalities are taken into account, the total of motor vehicle deaths for 1923 exceeds 17,000. In other words, motor vehicle accidents, exclusive of grade-crossing collisions, took an average daily toll of forty three lives during the last year, as compared to thirty-eight during 1922. This estimate was made for the National Safety Council by the Automobile Department of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters on the basis of statistics supplied by the health officers of 135 American cities with an aggregate population, as of July 1, 1923, of 30,123,555. The cities included in the study range in size from 25,000 population upward, are scattered over nearly one-third off the entire United States. It is entirely reasonable to suppose, therefore that the indications of those cities are representative of the whole nation. Many Are Children The 1923 accident reports submitted by the health officers of the 135 cities separated the fatalities into two age groups—under 15 years, and 15 years and over. The data showed that 32 per cent of the total fatalities were children under 15 years of age. This percentage applied to the country-wide estimate indicates that 5000 children were killed last year in automobile accidents over the country. Fortunately, the increase in automobile fatalities has not kept pace with the increase in automobile registration. There has been a steady decline in the last nine years in the death rates calculated on the basis of automobile registrations. The 1925 death rate per 10,000 automobiles registered is only about half the 1015 death rate calculated on the same basis. However, small comfort can be derived from the decrease in the death rate calculated on the basis of registration when it is realized that automobile deaths are increasing today in absolute numbers at the rate of 2000 a year. 1500 Die At Crossings According to the system, of classification adopted by the United States Bureau of Census and by health officials generally, fatalities which arise from collision between automobiles and railroad trains and trolley care are classified under railroad auto- THE BEST SELLER A.

Every year there is a considerable loss of life at railroad grade crossings. According to the statista's f the Interstate Commerce Commission, 1500 occupants of automobiles were killed and 5000 injured in grade crossing accidents in 1923. If the grade-crossing fatalities are added to the estimate of 15,700 the complete total is well over 17,000.—Detroit News.

SAUNDERS Our dearly beloved sister, Josie B. Saunders was born in Rodney, Miss. April 1, 1864. Being a member of a very religious family, she accepted Christ as her personal friend and guide in her early youth and became a member of Rosehill Baptist Church. This commendable step increased the love and respectful esteem in which she was held by all who knew her. In 1883 she became the wife of Alexander P. Saunders, and to their union two daughters were born. Before and subsequent to her marriage, our sister was vigorously interested and instrumental in her church and its affairs, nor did she fail to start her little daughters in the Master's work After the death of her husband in 1908 the family moved to New Orleans, L., where Sister Saunders connected herself with the Toulaine Baptist Church and again made loving friends through her, untiring efforts to do good. After a stay of $2_{1/2}$ years the eldest daughter sickened and died and to wear away the gnawing grief created by the loss of their loved one Sister Saunders, her daughter and grand-daughter, moved to Los Angeles, California in April of 1911. Here she connected herself with the 2nd Baptist Church and began in earnest her life's greatest work. Always was she willing to lend a helping hand wherever it was needed. Never did she shrink from executing her duty as a Christian. She was indeed an ideal mother and grandmother and an excellent example of a true Christian. Our sister reached the height of her ambition when she was made a Deaconess. She often expressed her feelings through the medium of her favorite hymns—"Jesus, Lover of my Soul," "Am I a Sldier of the Cross," "Hiding in Thee," "When Peace Like a River," "Abide with Me" and "More Love to Thee, Oh Christ." As long as her strength permitted it sister Saunders never knew what it was to excuse herself from anything requiring the service of a Deaconess and through her unfaithful faithfulness and reliability, won for herself innumerable friends. After an illness of eight weeks the Lord saw fit to call his good and faithful servant home to a well-deserved rest. So on Monday, May 12th, 1924 at one-ten o'clock A. M. Sister Saunders quietly slipped away to answer the Master's summons in the presence of her daughter, Mrs. Alice Johnson, Mrs. M. M. Cotton and Mrs. A. H. Ladd. She leaves one daughter, a grand daughter and a host of devoted friends to mourn her loss. The prime requisite for a performer is tone, and this tone should be rich and vibrant. Since a tone is dependent upon other things we shall speak of them in the course of these articles. A pure tone is thin, colorless and without emotional qualities. The tone for the performer should be rich, luscious, full. In order to produce good tones, one must think good tones. Pitch discrimination is a basic factor in the thinking of tones. A tone should first be true to pitch and one's sar should be keen in order to hear the slightest deviation, one way or the other from this pitch. Some persons possess what is known as absolut epiph. They can tell the exact pitch of a musical sound. While this is a great gift, it is not necessary to the musician; in fact, it sometimes handicaps him, because he may not be able to think the same piece in different keys. Overtones are other tones heard at the same time when the principal tone is heard. For example a string when set in motion vibrates as a whole and also vibrates in sections. These sectione vibrate into other sections, etc. These sectione vibrations are called partials and are heard as overtones. All of them, however, fuse into one rich tone. Naturally, the mboonMo msoo ngfso riatio tttatih A more overtones-there are the richer the quality of tone. This difference is called timbre. The intensity of tones, due to the degree of loudness or softness, affect the hearer in proportion to his ability to hear loud or soft tones. A clever performer will be able to be precise in the matter of stress or emphasis that he places upon tones. These degrees of loudness or softness while they really effect the tone itself, are appreciated by a member of the audience, in proportion only, as he is able to hear different degrees of intensity. Certain words or sentences receive stress and this stress gives the word sometimes a different meaning. One who hears the word and does not get the fore of the stress is apt to lose some of the meaning of the word. That is why one gets different impressions when several persons recite the same piece. The emotional person may convey a different thought from that of the person whose emotional qualities are limited. We have then, to produce a good tone. This tone to be rich, must contain overtones and these overtones when many in number, will determine the quality or timbre, which will be richer than when few in number. A keen, discriminating sense of pitch is necessary for the performer who wishes to produce this fundamental asset to his equipment. N.A.A.C.P.

The gospel does not conform itself to the changing notions of men. It is fundamental. It gives fair notice of this. Men either hear it and believe it or they jeer it and reject it. This they did in the days of Jesus. This they did in the days of the apostles. This they do today. This they will do till the lest one of the elect is saved and the unbelieving world destroyed in the merciless confagrations of eternal judgment. Mal. 4. II Pet. 3. The true gospel preacher is a stand-pattern, a reactionary, a contender for "old paths". Jer. 6:16. He is a progressive also, but a progressive only in the sense of growth in grace and the knowledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the sense of going on to perfection in righteous conflict and holy knowledge. Heb. 6:1.6. He has nothing to do with what the world calls progress or new thought. These things are well enough in their place, but it is the true preacher's duty to call men back to God and His perfect and holy relation. God changes not Mahachi 3:6. Such a man was Paul. Having been converted to Christ from that form of Judaism held by the Pharisees, he became a Christ filled, Christ possessed, Christ ruled man, so that he could say, "to me to live is Christ". See I Cor. and Phil. 1. Believed in The Resurrection Paul believed in the resurrection of the body. He contended, as all the apostles did, that Jesus our Savior died and was buried, and that He rose again the third day. Some deny the resurrection of the body, but whose ever it was that was buried in Joseph's temb that same thing rose. Jesus commended His Spirit into the hands of His Father, but His body died and was buried by Joseph of Aramathea and Nicodemus. Salvation Thereby Moreover so important was the resurrection of Christ in the scheme of things that God made the salvation of man depend upon his believing in that resurrection, saying, "If thou shalt confess with all thymouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Ro. 10:9. 10. How important, how indispensable is faith in Christ's resurrection. Man who is by nature a sinner, by state a rebel, and by practice lawless, and discended, in God's sight, is justified by his faith in the resurrection of Jesus. "Who was delivered for our offenses and raised again for our justification. Ro. 4:24. 25. Are You a Believer Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God? Do you believe that He died for our sins, that therefore He is our substitute in the presence of God? Do you believe that He ros engain from the dead the third day? If you, in your heart believe these things, you are justified in the sight of God. Amen. Our Sanctification Again our sanctification depends on belief in His resurrection. How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Ro. 6:1. So we see here in First Corinthians, the essence of the gospel is that Jesus died and rose again according to the scriptures. This we are to keep in remembrance in order to salvation. Keeping this truth in mind both justifies and sanctifies. So then Easter means much to the church. It is the celebration of the Lord's resurrection. It reminds us again that in Him we died and rose from the dead so that we shall live forever more. We Shall Rise Did Jesus die and rise again? He became thus the first fruits of them that death does not mean death to him who believes in a risen Christ. It is merely a falling asleep to awake in the morning. We believe that in the will of God had the arrangements of His grace that there shall be a resurrection both of the just and the unjust. Acts 24:15. * This is the gospel. By faith we are already risen with Him, for faith counts those things that be not as they were. Ro. 4. The Greek kphilosophers divided this doctrine. It was foolishness to them because it did not appeal to natural reason. But Paul said to Agrippa, "Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you that God should raise the dead?" Acts 26:8. Let the heart believe. Let the soul say "Amen." Let the spirit be set on fire with the truth. God bless us with believing hearts that shall say there is nothing too hard for God. Believe and live. Doubt perish. He that doubts is damned. Ro. 14:23. To him that believeth all things are possible. Oh the believing heart, the believing heart. MONROVIA The Zion Methodist closed its social season with two splendid entertainments. The presentation of Mme. Elizabeth Ford, dramatic reader, and impersonator of San Francisco, a few nights ago, was exceedingly commendable. Mme. Ford can easily be called a star in her profession. She executes with ease and grace that bespeak natural gift made artistic by training. Next came Mr. Clarence Cameron White, the noted violinist, who appeared under the auspices of the A. M. E. ZZlon Musical Committee, a very apprehensive audience attended the concert which was held in the Orange avenue School auditorium. Mrs. Her Couton, who has been indoposed for the last few days, is now able to be out. Mrs. Anna Mae Carter, of Los Angeles, daughter of G. G. V. Edwards of S.

For twenty years he has stood out as one of the few salient figures in American literature who have used their talent for the amelioration of conditions among the poor, oppressed people of these United States. As a Socialist, he must be given first place among those who have represented that cause in the literature of the day. Utterly fearless, Upton Sinclair has hurled defiance at every drawback and handicap to the liberty and happiness of working class. It is to be doubted if a more energetic or enquiring mind can be found among contemporary writers. Paradoxical as the remark may appear, this man, this patriot, who has sold more books in a year than many other writers have sold in a life-time, has been assigned, through his own self-direction, to the economic class of the submerged one-tenth; that one-tenth of people who are destitute of the commonest luxury who needs must live, not upon pre-existing capital, but upon the diminishing returns of the day's work. For Upton Sinclair has given generously fortune after fortune to the Socialist cause, and still freely gives because he cares nothing for wealth or of social eminence. He is a man with a message. Read his message as set forth and interpreted for you on this page. It will inspire you with a desire to join him in fighting the American plutocracy: that selfish class of unscrupulous hoarders of wealth which controls the United States economically, politically, religiously, and in every other way. When you have done these things, when you have followed him sympathetically and with alertness through his books and have seen for yourself the cupidity, the greed, the selfishness, the cruelty, the economic imperialism involved in and inseparably linked up with American education and journalism and religion and industrial production as described in his universally quoted books, such as "The Jungle," "The Profits of Religion." "The Brass Check," "The Goose-Step," and "The Goslings." you will then know that this old world after all is poked full of ugliness and sin and corruption—an ugliness and sin and corruption that can only be extirpated through such great sacrifices as Mr. Sinclair has made in foregoing the monetary gains which would have filled his coffers had he been content with writing sophisticated novels in which the element of social protest is made an absentee. BOOK REVIEWS HELL: A VERSE DRAMA AND PHOTOPLAY Upton Sinclair's late drama and photoplay is "Hell," which tears the veil from some of our most cherished virtues and presents them nakedly as being propagated by agents who are in truth, the very Imps of hell. They are conceived by Mammon and Chief Satan whose efficiency demons incorporate Earth and set up a subdivision of Diabolical rule on this sphere: our own. It is easily discernible that "Hell" is the laborer's perspective of the Industrial situation. However, sidestopping all hints of radicalism, as open minded thinkers with the liberal attitude of real searchers-after-truth, we are naturally inclined to receive Mr. Sinclair's argument as presented. The author has achieved quite a merciless symbolism as he describes Mammon's agents: Diplomats, Bishops; Capitalists, Generals; Propagandists and War! Satan and his Chiefs, with Earth already at their mercy, steal the key to Heaven, lock up the saints and leave the Mighty Ones Swooning and frantic in their celestial prison. God sickens on the throne; Christ gazes helplessly into Void, while the Holy Ghost is dead! Then, Hell lets loose! There's a sermon in "Hell;" enormously more factful than any casual scanning of its subject matter could reveal, and before we lift our virtuous skirts to its ironical style, just bear witness to the truth there is in it. The phraseology of the Imps is shocking, indeed, but what in hell should one expect. The one disconcerting feature about this drama of Mammon is that the actors too often reveal their true characters: they are the laborers whom the Captains of Industry so cunningly disguise as the worm in the core of work-a-day affairs—but, unfortunately they peer through this mask and assert the essence of their nature. Author Sinclair was recently accused of not being a philosopher, but how can one whose primal interest is Humanity escape Philosophy? When we treat of individual temperaments, fanciful whims, strange emotions, and First Causes in general, we feel that a cosmic weight has been assigned our intelligence if we are called "Philosopher." On the other hand, one who humbly possits himself a Priest of the Swarm: the Herd must be content in the lesser category of more "Sociologists." Mr. Sinclair proves himself a modern Dante, a Messiah for the laborer and quite undeniably has produced "Hell" for those who cry: "The public be damned." FAY JACKSON. College of Liberal Arts University o fSo. Calif. STOP! LOOK! READ—A MAY FET This is a continuation of THE GOOSE-STEP and the second of a series of studies on American education. Like its universally quoted predecessor, THE GOSLINGS discloses a shocking amount of cupidity, greed and corruption in grammar schools both private and public. It is a vast and amazing collection of data. It is charmingly written, is marked by a flashy wit which keeps the reader in a state of breathless anxiety over what may next follow in Mr. Sinclair's elucidations. It is, moreover, typical in its exposition of the facts of THE BRASS CHECK, THE PROFITS OF RELIGION and other widely read books published by Mr. Sinclair which are notable in their astounding revelations; and although it may not hold for the student of the literature of social protest the same deep, controlling appeal which THE GOOSE-STEP holds, it nevertheless is indispensable to owe one who desires an accurate exposition of the conditions—sordid as they are—in our public schools. For it should be remembered that the place which Upton Sinclair holds in the contemporary literature of America is decidedly similar to that which Mr. H. G. Wells holds in contemporary British literature. Both have a singular genius for attack. Both are Crusaders. Both are Socialists; and both are deeply imbued with the determination to point the way to social progress or to fall valiantly in the cause. To be sure, it is to be noted that both are energetic, that there is a friendly competition between the two in writing and putting before their vast audience of readers books which are quoted and used by high authority in an infinite number of instances. Thus our most brilliant living novelist writes the author and says: "You have just saved a bit of your property by getting ahead with your "Book of ife." I should have been at that in a year or two. I may do it still in spite of you. Why do you always think of things first. I am older than you. I have read both your books ("The Brass Check" and "100 "). I will not say anything about them except, "Fine." If I start on anything more I shall use up the whole morning and meanwhile you will be getting ahead." It is, accordingly, not difficult to tell of Mr. Sinclair's true place and function in the world of affairs. He is one of the most widely read and most universally quoted writers of our day: and in THE GOSLINGS he has demonstrated his skill and has given exhaustive treatment to a subject which, though regrettable the fact may be, false and erroneous assumptions have brazenly distorted, so that the average mind is wont to think of American education as something big and impressive; something beneficial; something that is controlled by honesty and supervised by scrupulosity. Nothing could be farther from the truth, for "the aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible t othe same level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality." Says Mr. Sinclair in his introduction: "Life has given you one of its precious treasures, a child; a body to nurture, a character to train, a mind with endless possibilities of growth, a soul with hdden stores of tenderness and beauty—all these are Nature's gifts. Modern science has shown that within the child's soul lies magically locked up all the past of our race; also, it is evident that within it lie sall the future of our race. What our children are now being made is what America will be. "You send these little ones to school. Twenty-three millions of them troop off every week-day morning, with their faces newly washed, their clothing cleaned and mended. You bear them, you rear them, with infinite pains and devotion you prepare them, and feed them into the gigantic educational machine. You do not know much about this machine. You have turned it over to others to run. Every year you pay to maintain it a billion dollars of wealth which you have produced by real and earnest toil. You take it for granted that this billion dollars is competently used; that those who run the machine are giving yur twenty-three million children the best education that forty-three dollars and forty-seven cents per child will buy. "The purpose of this book is to show you how the "Invisible government" of Big Business which controls the rest of America has taken charge of our children. . . . Come with me and let me show you what is this "gang" which runs the school system of the United States; how they get their power, what use they make of it, and what this means to the bodies and minds of your twenty-three million little ones." He then proceeds to show how the public schools of Los Angeles are controlled by a group of political shysters. He makes a satirical comment on the "Times." Hollywood, our criminal syndicalism law, and tells in chapter two of his adventure with the University Club of Pasadena, in which he was asked to lecture on THE GOOSE-STEP, only to be declined the invitation after the personnel of the organization had found that he had the courage to verify everything published in his books. He then tells of his experience in trying to get relief for the sufferers in the San Pedro hrbor strike, of the part played by the "Times" in the well-known case of G. Bromley Oxnam and takes up in chapter thirteen the existing conditions in the public schools of New York. From a discussion and engrossing portrayal of the sordid conditions in the schools of Tammany, the author takes us in chapter twenty into the school life of the city of Chicago. He then opens unto us other fields of study where the profiteers of big business and crooked politics are no less strenuously active in keeping from the people of this and that community the proper facilities which should go along with education in a free country. The concluding chapters discuss "The Goose-Step" and its critics, and the developments in the college world since its publication. In the last chapter of the book, Mr. Sinclair makes an appeal to our educators and shows them how they may minimize the defects of our present educational system through unity and resentment to the capitalist world: "I have now said my say, concerning both colleges and schools. I have given two years to the subject, have written nearly four hundred thousand words on it—and these words are the truth to the best of my ability. The problem is now up to the American people, and as specially to the rank and file of school teachers and college professors; the ten of thousands of devoted men and women who are giving their undivided thought to a glorious ideal—the delivering of every child in a whole nation from the curse and entalvation of ignorance. "This great cause has many enemies—and some of these enemies will try to use my work to spread distrust of education, and cut down the money supplies of both colleges and schools. I wish to state explicitly that the purpose of my study is the very opposite of this; I would have the American people devote to this cause ten times the money they now devote—I would have them give all that is given, so that education may be free from the charity of the rich. But I want them, while giving their money, to give also their time; to study the schools and school problems, and see that their money is honestly spent for the children, and that educational policies are in the hands of men and women who love th' children and believe in freedom and enlightenment—not, as too often at present, in the hands of intriguing politicians, and to sycophants and hirelings of vested greed. The aim of my two books is to set our educators free from this control of selfish private interest; to awaken them to their position in a society which is ruled by organized exploitation. . . . I am not for a moment overlooking the fact that educators are idealists and social ministrants; but I assert that they are also members of the intellectual proletariat, having nothing but their brain power to sell, and I appeal to them tp realize their status, and to act upon the realities and not the fairy tales of the capitalist world. The educator is a worker, a useful worker, and the educator's place is by the side of all his brothers of that class. "Workers of the world, unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains; you have a world to gain." In summary, "The Goslings" is one more monument to American education, which is sordid and damnable in its extent and shocking in nits implications. C. T.

P. Putnam's Sons. This volume completes the set. It has been heralded by many eminent bookmen as one of the best histories of the world's literature and contains more than 500 illustrations. 0 00 00 Noah D. Thompson of the "Evening Express" has kindly consented to review, for the readers of the "Eagle"'s literary Supplement D. Appleton's "The Principles of Journalism." The book is one of the latest on the subject and discusses the place of the newspaper as a force informationally, interpretatively, and entertainingly. It closes with a brief essay on the ethics of the newspaper business. John Galsworthy's play, "The Forest," one of the current London productions, has just been brought out in book form by Charles Scribner's Sons. It has been described as a "bitterly satirical attack on British imperialism in darkest Africa at the time of the Boer war." An unusual feature of the play is its division into two parts with two groups of characters, the first and fourth acts being set in the office of a London financier, while the second and third acts are concerned with the human lives which he is juggling in the African forest. As in George Barnard Shaw's "Saint Jaon," there is only one woman in the cast. "The World Crisis," by the Rt. Hon. Winston S. Church has been adjudged on two continents "the best that has come out of the war." Its fairness and authenticity cannot be called into question; its interest is extraordinary; its perspective is admirable. It will boom increasingly as the years of the war recede. To Charles Scriner's Sons we express our thanks for putting before us this overwhelmingly realistic, this vividly authentic and charmingly interesting piece of history. "The Police Woman," one of the late publications of Frederick A. Stokes Company finds its author in a woman of national repute, Mary E. Hamilton. She was the first police woman to be employed by the crime commission of New York City. From every angle she has studied criminology and worked with the police forces of New York. In this book she offers the results of over fifteen years' experience. A review of it for publication on this page is now being prepared by Mrs. Morgan Robinson, whose long experience in the work of detecting crime with the crime commission of Los Angeles makes her the logical person for interpreting it for readers of the "Eagle's" Literary Supplement. The great leader of the Labor party in Great Britain, J. Ramsay Macdonald, has been made the subject of a revealing study in a book soon to be dissected on this page.
