Noted Chicagoans Feted in L.A. Phone: VANDIKE 9244 Notable Chicago Citizens Feted By The California Realty Board and Eureka Villa Advisory Board. On last Thursday evening at the beautiful Ben a Del Cafe, 26th and Central Avenue there was held a notable banquet and reception in honor of Col. Wm. Cowan, prominent Realty dealer of Chicago, Hinois, and Hon. Claude Barnett, head of the Negro Associated Press with headquarters in the same city. Both of these distinguished citizens spent several days in the city last week on a business and pleasure trip. During their stay they were both lavishly entertained, and the gathering on this occasion was the climax to their weeks stay in Southern California. During the day while Colonel Cowan was looking over real estate in the city, Mr. Barrett was the guest of the Eureke Villa officials on a visit to this very popular and growing sub-division. He was shown over every foot of the immense tract and learned first hand of its availability and worth, which no doubt will find expression thru his mighty chain of publicity in the Negro Associated Press. Those accompanying him on the tour of inspection were: Sidney P. Dones, Rev. V. M. Coe, Wm. Shelten, Ernest Bennett and J. B. Bass. Returning in the evening what was intended as a luncheon was transformed into a veritable banquet at the place heretofore mentioned with the Realty Board and Advisory Board of Eureka Villa as hosts. President Sidney P. Dones, after the serving of the sumptuous repast in a few well chosen and appropriate words introduced Editor J. B. Bass as toastmaster and from that moment until the close, words of eloquence, force and wisdom, followed one after another by various speakers who re apended to toasts; among whom were Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth; Prof. J. C. Banks; Editor Fred Williams; the guests, Col. Wm. Cowan and Hor Claude Barnett. All departed with words of praise, hope and inspiration and truly the exchange of greetings between the Pacific Coast and further east was considered another link in the chain of progress, under the new order of things. Those present included Prof. and Mrs. J. C. Banks; Attorney and Mrs. Hugh E. MatBeth; Dr. E. A. Johnson; Editor J. B. Bass, Mrs. E. Davidson, Mrs. Nelle Turner, Editor Fred Williams, Sidney P. Dones, Clarence Brooks, Eugene Houston, Rev. V. M. Cole, Wm. Shelten, M. T. Stokes, C. H. Jones, W. M. Bowers, Clarence Ennis, Harry E. Martin, L. W. G. Parker, Wm. Kelley. Boys Jailed On Hearsay Berwick, Pa., Dec. 10.—(By The Associated Negro Press).—Details are lacking in the arrest of three race youths, James Jefferson, Lee Shaw, and Ernest Brown, each 19 years old, who were committed to the county jail Friday on charges of having illicit relations with 17 white girls within the past two months. It was learned however, that one of the girls made complaint to the police that she was "unwillingly attacked by the three youths" giving their names to the police. Yet she was the only one of the 17 girls whom the police stated had made a complaint. The girl also gave her name and the names of the other girls, but the police have withheld their names. The three youths denied attacking the girl against her wishes, and stated it was a case of lealoya. As usual feeling is "running high here" because the parents of the girls could not believe that their daughters would associate with Negro boys. RETURN ABYSSINIAN CROWN RETURN ABYSSINIAN CROWN London, England, Dec. 10.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—The crown of the Emperor Theodore of Abbasin, which after being kept n a SHE KNOWS Mrs. Lillian Dean of New York City recently returned from an educational visit to Honolulu, who is booked to lecture Tuesday evening, December 18th, at Independent Church, is a distinct character, an der lecture on Thursday evening promises to be interesting from many angles. For Mrs. Dean is a practical person. She is interested in race development from the economic standpoint. Young men and women especially should hear Mrs. Dean, and let those that should know, whether young or old, be at the Independent Church. Thursday evening, December 18th and hear many things from the lips of one who knows. ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRA ORDINARY The University of Southern California Alumni Association meets Sunday, December 14, 1924, 4:00 P.M. in the Auditorium of Wesley Chapel M. E. Church.

All members are kindly requested to be present. Mrs. WALTER L. GORDON, Pres. Finds Thief In Overcoat Vineland, N. J., Dec. 10—(By The Associated Negro Press)—When William DeRouse reached into a clothes closet to get his overcoat last night he was thrilled to have a man inside the coat jump on the floor. DeRouse coloured the fellow and started with him to the City Hall, but foun the place deserted, the police being out for a few minutes on an extra call. The fellow begged and induced DeRouse to go around Elmer Street to see his wife "who would make everything right". The wife was found sitting in a sedan and after promises were made DeRouse let the couple go. He took the number of the car, which is owned in Millville, a new miles from here, and expects the would-be thief to make amends. The man did not give his name. TRANSLATE NEGRO'S SONG INTO MANY LANGUAGES Evanston, Il., December 10.—(By The Associated Negro Press).—"America First and Forever", a patriotic song composed by Hermes Zimmerman, composer-tenor, has been translated into French, Spanish, Polish and German, and is being used by the Americanization branch of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Mr. Zimmerman was given a big ovation when he sang the song at the Orrington Hotel before a large gathering of workers of the Union. He responded with four encores. glass case at the Victoria and Albert Museum, this city, since 1869, is now to be returned to its former home in Africa. It has had an eventful history. This crown was taken to Britain by Sir Robers, afterwards Lord Napier, of Magdala, after the capture of Magdale and the death of Theodore in the Abyssinian war of 1868. It is a ponderous piece of silver-gilt filigree work, many sizes too large for any ordinary head. It is lavishly decorated with little squares and diamonds of red and blue glass, varied with diminutive paintings. A feature is the strange looking pipe which pro jects several inches through the center of the dome, apparently for ventilation. The king's intention to present this crown to the Empress Judith was announced when he granted a farewell audience to Prince Tafari, the heir-apparent and regent of Abyssinia, whose recent visit to Britain created much interest. It is interesting to not that the only son of the Emperor Theodore was educated at Rugby. He died in 1879, at the age of nineteen, and was buried in St. George's Chapel, Windsor.

THE TAINT By William Pickens (For The Associated Negro Press) The claim that a Negro millionaire had married some girl who has colored people's blood in her veins, brought forth headlines of the usual nonsense about being "accused" of being a Negro; about "denying the taint"; and about the boo-hooing of sapheads and idiots, who are easily frightened into asseverating: "Iain't colored." Who is it that "ain't colored" in the United States, if to have a few drops of Negro blood or other people's blood in one's veins makes one "colored"? Why, nobody can know. There are unknown millions of "white" Americans who are colored by that standard. Race prejudice has been forcing mulattoes to "cross the line" for ten generations. And what do you suppose those mullatoes have been doing all this time? And it is idiocracy for an editor to speak of "taint" in blood, meaning only that a person belonging to one race has a minor quantity of th blood of another race in his veins. The only tainted blood is diseased blood, or the blood that flows in the veins of the maniacs and idolls who write such rot as we all have the privilege of reading when some supposedly 100 per cent person marries another person who is known to have other blood besides Teutonic or Nordic in his veins. If to have is your vein the blood of some other race is to be "tainted" then about everybody, "white" and "colored" in this country is tainted. That is, we do not need to consider the few who are not. A fellow, supposedly "white," got married to a girl of the same kind in Boston, and after the ceremony he went into her room and found her boo-booing as if her heart would break. Asking what the trouble was, he heard this great confession: "Dear, I've got colored blood in my veins and I just can't fool you any longer, Boo-000-000-000-00!" He patted her on the shoulders found it convenient to ignore the fact, find it convenient to ignore the fact and especially to keep it from the knowledge of others. Then there are many more thousands still who have a many more thousands still who have own knowledge Seems to us that only the knowledge of it is the thing that does any harm. Then, forget it! The best taint ered. The Menelik Poultry Market, formerly owned by J. B. Bowman, has been purchased by two race men, E. J. Warren and F. L. Young. Give them your support. Browne's Metropolitan Jubilee Singers In Concert Monday evening, December 22nd, at the Assembly Auditorium , 833 Central Avenue, from the throats of these well known Jubilee Singers, will float such harmony of song as to make you feel that our place in the Community can be made a better place in which to live. The white people of this community are clamoring to hear them—why not you? Negro Cities-Atlanta (For The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta is effected by migration very much like the average northern industrial center or urban community. In an address delivered at Kansas City before the Urban League in industrial Conference during October 1923, the writer made the following statement, "It is as far from Jasper County to Atlanta or some interior point of Alabama, to Birmingham, on some rural sections of Louisiana, to New Orleans, as it is from Atlanta to New York, Birmingham to Washington or New Orleans to Chicago. Geo graphically, of course, this is not true. It is true economically, educationally and politically. The relative degree of greater freedom in the larger cities of the South as compared with the smaller towns and rural sections is on a parity with the larger freedom gained by Negroes leaving larger centers in the South for the larger cities of the North. Atlanta like many other strategic points is the "Gate-Way" from the southeastern section for the migrants coming from Florida, Eastern Alabama, Western South Carolina, Central and South Georgia. While we have had a large number of Negroes leave Atlanta going to northern and western sections, our population has consistently increased for the past five years during the period of this exodus. This is indicated by the degree of increase in our school population. 1914, 6,629; 1920, 8,313; 1923, 13,104; cities react quite awkwardly to the demands of their urban environments as the Negro goes from a southern city to a northern community. They bring with them, therefore, many social and economic problems growing out of an effort of adjustment. A large percentage of them, however, become readily absorbed in the new social and economic fibre of their new environment. In many cases they become articul in the industrial and fraternal life of the southern cities more readily than is correspondingly true when they reach northern centers, from the south. This is due to the fact that 93 percent of the Negroes in the southern cities are southern, to the "Manner-Born" and therefore, are more sympathetically disposed toward the new comer and give him a more cordial welcome than he is likely, generally to receive in any northern section. While they have labored for the most part in agricultural industries prior to coming to industrial centers, many of them quickly learn the mechanical processes, of the new communities and become very productive. They have large families usually, and the earning capacity of the head of the family, because of the lack of training is insufficient to provide adequate support. Therefore, the majority of the older children and very often the wofe must become "bread-winners". This, or course, makes an unfortunate moral situation because the children are left at home unsupervised. These people, come of course, for the same reason the children of Israel left Egypt—seeking freedom from political and economic slavery, peonage, mob violence and all of its kindred evils. While they bring to our city social and economic problems, a majority of them, also bring ambition, man-power, determination, sobriety, frugality and steadfastness of purpose. They make a definite contribution to our financial economic and spiritual welfare. The total population of Atlanta is 227,000. The total Negro population is 75,666. There are eight hundred and sixteen Negro businesses in Atlanta. The kinds of businesses in Atlanta are as follows: Grocery, Haberdashery Drug Stores, Barber Shops, Automobile business, Beauty Parlors, Real Estate, Furniture Stores, Public Draying, Jewelers, Plumbing companies, Studios, Safe Moving Business, Tailoring, Banking, Coal and Wood Dealers, Public Stonegraphic Offices, Insurance Companies, Prateral organizations, Employment agencies, Pool Rooms, Contracting and Building, Dress Making, Understating, Business (Continued on page 4) COMMENTS By W. J. Wheaton EMIGRATION Time and again we have called the attention of our "Dealers in Real Estate" to the opportunities that are now presenting themselves to tillers of the soil, and to the desirability of placing experienced farmers in California where they would have a chance to become desirable assets to the community. To those who observe the trend of events it is a fact, a most noticeable fact, that there is a concerted effort being made on the part of certain interests to either repeal or amend the present Emigration Law to the end that an increased number of the foreign people may be admitted to this country. Cultivation of the soil is essential to the prosperity of the nation, and the prosperity or the nation is essential alike to all of its people of whatever color. It seems a most pitilable thing, a travesty on the foresight of our leadership, when we call such spendid offerings to go unheeded. Any increase in the number of Race immigrants to our cities or urban districts should be discouraged. Unless they come with a trade or are skilled in labor they can soon become undesirable charges. All labor is honorable, but there is a law of economics which governs labor. When domestic labor bacomes over supplied there is bound to be decrease in the wage. We are of times inclined to the belief that if the preachers in the churches of the cities would not be so zealous in the matter of building magnificent Tempes of Worship, and increasing the amount of their dollar money by increased membership, and would become as interested in the material welfare of the Race as they are in its spiritual salvation, many of the difficulties which at the present seem insurmountable would be overcome. Suppose that they, the preacher, when he writes Brother John Smith back home, would, instead of of describing the beauties of th eurban surroundings, tell him that what is needed is more producers, that we have an overflow of consumers. Tell him that there are chances for big money in the hinterland of the state where Sister Smith can aid the bank account materially by raising chick-ens. There is only one thing to do. The Negro must pioneer! The vast, but fertile, desert wasts are calling. Calling for men who dare to try; men who can not be deterred by a first failure but still retain the grit of the forbears who brought out from actual slavery a possible pair of trousers and a shirt, who laid the foundation for the present status of the Race in this nation. This another era and it calls for men as determined to achieve as those who carried from thralldom their earthly possessions on their backs. We received, recently, a letter from Minnesota, way up North, it was from an old acquaintance of years ago. He came from Georgia, quite a big difference between the climate of Georgia and that of Minnesota, especially during the winter months, yet at the suggestion of this writer, 30 years ago he took a number of acres of stump land, cleared it, worked it, married, has a family, and a form worth, stock and all, $60,000. Worth while: Was it not? So Jarret is dead! J. L. Jarret, and the Forum commemorated his activities by special services. Nothing could have been more appropriate. The Forum has at all times stood for something worth while. We review the procession of founders as they pass by. None of them endowed with erudition as the collegiate of to-day sees it, but what they lacked in collegiate training was more than made up by good sound "Horse sense". Edmunds; Norris; Slaughter; Troy; Roberts; A. J. Colman; Crumley; Snell; and other outstanding men and women of that time made the Forum the Watchman of the Negroes' rights in the community. Deeply sensible to the fact that the rapidly increasing Negro population was awakening racial antipathies and that they would have to be best down by diplomatic methods, the Forum was ever alert to combat all things that had a tendency to kickle the misunderstanding. m Dances WHY NOT BUY A HOME IN PASADENA WE HAVE LISTED THE POLLOWING BARGAINS New 5-room stucco, all modern.

MAKING OF TINFOIL AN INDUSTRY The making of tinfoil is an industry which employs many thousands of people in China. Its chief use is for sacrificial purposes. Age-old methods of beating are employed in reducing small cubes of this material to a paper like thinness. In China tinfoil is actually made of tin, a manufacturing practice contrary to that followed in Western countries, where lead is commonly the foundation of tinfoil. In China large slabs go to workshops where they are melted and poured into molds containing many holes about an inch square. The one-inch ingots, are taken out from the molds when they are cold and are beaten into a finish paper of about two and a half square feet. Tremendous pounding is required to transform the square slag hammer and steel plates being the utensils employed. Prince Kojo, it sunderstood, was expecting upon his arrival in America early in the fall to make a tour which would include many of the principal cities and would be under the direction of Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People. At the time, Mr. Dubois had joined in co-operating toward the proper reception of the French guest and to insure the success of his tour, Mr. Garvey, according to reports, seized upon the Prince's presence in New York, to project the royal visitor before the delegates to his convention. Prince Kojo seems to have been taken off his guard. e did not know that Mr. Dubois and his adherents might be angered because of courtesies which Garvey might show him. e was later surprised to receive communication from the Crisis editor in which Mr. Dubois withdrew his promised aid. Mr. White later deserted the Prince. When he came to this city Prince Kojo found himself enmeshed by a group of invitations to speak offered by Garvey's or affiliated organizations. He explains that is was no more his purpose to confine his studies to the work of Mr. Garvey than it was to restrict himself to an investigation of any other single Negro leader. He hoped, and still hopes, to acquaint himself with al.

The heads of the departments furnished a program that not only afforded a source of delight and helpfulness for the day, but set a new mile stone in the progress of our Christian activities. Peakor Mitchell having preclaimed the first Lord's Day in each month "Laymen Day" our morning services were occupied in this manner. A goodly number of laymen brought fervent messages, while others offered prayers with heart and soul and enthusiastically took hold of the devotions. Prince Joseph Emanuel Blysechettal was caught in the whirl of inspiration, brought a message that stirred the hearts of his andiors. The evening's activities 1 were equally interesting. Slater Katie McNair and Madam Lena Reid, president of the Senior and Junior Christian Endeavor Societies, having promised the children and the young people movies conducive to church use, called their promise with some of the most educating pictures that the Film Educational Society honors with its trade mark. The pictures lasted for two hours. Plans are under way to secure films for regular Sunday evening's services. At the close of the splendid young people's sessions, Pastor Mitchell, stirred the hearts of his hearers with the closing messages of the day, one fine young man, desiring to cast his lot with us, a people who stand for the union of all God's people, took membership. Next Lord's Day another rare treat is in store for all who will be present. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian Sts. Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor Sunday will be State day at Wesley.

Griffith, Pastor We had another high day last Sunday. In the morning one was bathed, two were bathed, at night ten others united with the church. The young people rendered the program in the B. Y. P. U. to the great delight of all present. Rev. Shipley delivered the communion sermon. The pastor's morning text was "And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah." In part he said: "Moses went up. UP is the right direction for a Christian. Get up. Look up. Walk up. Shut up. Pay up. Move up." The way is tedious, but it is better than the way down or the dead level. Moses, snatched from the depths of a watery grave by Pharaoh's daughter is led to the heights of Nebo by the lone hand of God, and here on Pisgah peak he passed to the beyond. He went up, and he went across, and he went in. From Pisgah he looked on a physical promised land, and from here also he went into the real promised land. We know that he went in, because he came back centuries later, and met Jesus on another mountain. Here is a remarkable life and a wonderful experience. For forty years he had led the people to a land he had never seen. But he believed the land was there. We are leading people to the Promised land. We have not seen it. We must believe that it is there. Like Moses we shall reach our Pisgah and view the land some day. EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH 9th and Naomi Sts. Wm. Alex D. Venerable, Pastor Ebenezer, "Stone of elp" is alive to, and seeks to provide for, the need of the people in a practical way. We believe in preaching, praying, singing and shouting but, we do not stop there. Much practical work must be done for the people, and by the church, or she should be deserted by them. Now we are engaged in a campaign of Soul Saving, that is, saving Church members and sinners. Rev. W. E. Gaines, a Holy Ghost man of God, is helping us. Come and witness the power and the presence of God every night. WADSWORTH SEVENTH REV. AD VENTIST 666 East 36th Street A wonderful work of revival and prayer has so bloomed the members and visitors that the Pastor, Elder P. G. Rodgers, has arranged to conduct special revival lservices each Sabbath (Saturday) at II A. M. and Sunday and Wednesday nights at 7:45 P.M. By special request a slight change will be made in the above program, by presenting the "Feast of Behshazar" in sermon form, Sunday night, December 13th at 7:45. This sermon not only deals with the drunken feast of the King of Babylon but given the origin of Christmas and the way the Bible and secular witnesses view this popular festival. Every lover of "Truth" will attend this service and come on time as generally the church is packed long before the opening of the service. Everybody is welcome. MT. ZIQN BAPTIST CHURCH 50th and Hooper Avenue Sunday will be a full day at this Church. Rev. A. J. Williams will speak at the morning hour services.

Don't miss this opportunity. It is absolutely free to all. NOV. 21 A. E. BURGLEY, Pastor Our Sunday school is doing nicely. The old time covenant nesting was enjoyed by the many worshippers at eleven o'clock. The Holy Spirit was in evidence. There was one addition to the church. The B. Y. P. U. is making rapid strides.

Douglas, Pastor We an continually report victory through the Blood of Jesus, for his ever present spirit and never falling guide, who helps us not to falter whatsoever betide. In the midst of the rain many bright faces were seen present at the Sunday morning service, with hearts open for the truth. Our Sunday School is always at the usual hour in which we invite you to come in and bring your children to this wonderful Bible studies together with the national Sunday School lessons which are taught in every church. The message Sunday morning was precious, which came to us through the pastor speaking from Col. 2:9—Subject: Nothing can be added to completeness; and ye are complete in him, even Jesus. The showers of blessing came down like rain upon the grass, which was really falling on the outside of the building but the rain of righteousness from the Lord on the inside of the house refreshed every Christian heart. At 5:20 o'clock the young folks meeting was begun and we listened to that wonderful topic of labor. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Pico and Paloma Rev. J. H. Miller, who has been holding the fort at Zion pending the arrival of the new pastor, was obliged to deliver the morning sermon. Rev. Miller always knows just what to say and just how to say it.

INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CIHRIST A large and appreciative audience enjoyed the Communion Services on Sunday morning. The morning program was one of unusual merit. The pastor, using as his text, "The Drawing Power of the Cross," preached a sermon that stirred the very souls of his hearers, and intelligibly stamped upon their minds impressions which, if rightly followed, will go far toward making this old world a better place in which to live, move and have our being. The Sunday School, under the leadership of Mrs. George Beavers, Jr., was well attended, and the exercises were interestingly conducted. Mrs. Beavers is a capable leader and deserving of your loyal support. Help her put this branch of the work over the top. Much interest is now manifested in the work of the Christian Endeavor Society.

Do not fall to be present Sunday evening at 7:30. Judge Carlos Hardy of the Superior Count will speak on the subject, "The Training of Man in His Threefold Nature." You cannot afford to miss hearing this most interesting speaker. --- THE FAMILY OF THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK PORO BEAUTY SHOP NOW OPEN AT 1425 E. 20TH ST.—READY TO SERVE THE PUBLIC WITH GREATER CONVENIENCE MRS.

The Best Without Extravagance AN EXPOSE OF OFFICIALDOM By Prince Kejo Teuvalou-Houencu (Second Installment) I am ignorant of the problem as a whole otherwise I should have presented it, but. I shall content myself with giving you a history of its successive phases in Europe and America. I shall content myself with telling you rapidly and briefly that the problem arose from the moment when America was first discovered, when Europeans, intoxicated by glory, adventure and above all, by rapipe, sought to conquer new territories which did not belong to them. They destroyed the aborigines—exterminated them. Then terrified at the void, they had created around them and being themselves incapable of labor, they turned to Africa for workmen. It was Africa that furnished contingents for penal labor—this Africa with those unhappy history you are acquainted, but which, some day, one of her sons will outline for you in darts of fire—a moment of shame for that civilization of which you boast. Without humanity there is no civilization! If the monsters, fall of vice, sedden alcohol, contaminated by disease, whom you send to us, have nothing else to offer than what they have already given us, then keep them for yourselves and let us revert to our misery and our barbarity. The whole fatality that burden Eschyllian tragedies cannot compare with the blackness of the African tragedy. Under cover of civilization, men are hunted like deer, plunderer, robbed, killed; and these horrors are presented afterwards in eloquent orations as blessings. Hypocrisy and knavery are added to crimes! Since, regardless of the Africans, regardless of the Negroes, a great deal more civilized than themselves, Europeans have presented the problem of race, and particularly that of THE MAGIC CONNECTION Under This Beauty and Modern it If you o Prices that are They Invite LADY AV 1400 East 17th SMALL NON-COM That is Why a Con 8811 CENTRAL AVE. SHACKELFORD AND LOGGINS REAL ESTATE BROKERS, INSURANCE, NOTARY PUBLIC the Negro race, what can be the solution? What do we want in the Colonies—we subjects—or made citizens by a grudgingly conferred favor? We want all these arbitrary laws abolished. There are no half-measures! There is need for a new constitution in the Colonies. When a limb is gangrenous, it is necessary to amputate the limb. That is what the surgeon does. It it happens that he hesitates, lingers, delays, the pain is aggravated, the disease gains ground, then an ignorant adventurer takes a scapel and wounds the healthy organ, while attempting to remove the affected member. It is thus that the Government who should aid in the evolution of the people—for evolution implies liberty of movement—is driving natives to an ignorant, unskillful and awkward intervention—that which, after all, is the first stage of evolutionary revolution. And, in the exercise of this revolution, in the execution of these rights of the people to act in stead and place of technicians, regrettable incidents occur. We must forsee and arrest all gesture_g that are ill-omened and fatal for the common weal. Now, if we are not careful, unfortunate events will occur in the colonies. The conclusion that we must draw from the examination of the present conditions in the colonies is the following: First of all it is necessary that the colonies should have the possibilities of making their voices heard in the affairs of the government. Mr. Augagneur, governor of Equatorial Africa, has often intervened at the Ministry for the colonies to point out the daily abuses of the Colonial Policy, and in particular, of the policy called Native Policy. This policy is a source of perpetual vexation. Let me illustrate. A European passing along the highways can arrest a native and condemn him to 15 days imprisonment for the sole reason to be held to take off his hat to a white man. You will say to me that these are insufficient matters but the arbitrariness goes much farther. The power of the administrator is enormous. PHONE: METROPOLITAN 0175 Contrary to that which happens in Europe, it is the accumulation of judicial and administrative powers, it is despotic power without control. Sometimes the administrator—a man rudimental, vicious, indulges in all the bas efancies that cross his imagination. These acts—and I should have wished that Mr. Rhee Marian, whose preface to his "Bamboula" has been so much criticised—could have recounted them to you himself; for with his clearness of vision and moreover his realistic style, he would have been able to depict them in their horrible crudity, I shall not approach this realism, and I do not wish to linger at these repulsive pictures. It is sufficient to say that even today in the Colonies, there are administrators who/insert, like suppositories, cartridges of dynamite in the natives, and order them to run, then suddenly the dynamite explodes and the natives are blown to pieces. This happens in French colonies! You see, I regret to say abuse things publicly. And there are so many others! I have assumed a painful task. It is repugnant to me to insist. I commenced at the opening of this conference by absolving France from the acts of her functionaries. It was necessary to do so. I have felt the reflected indignation which passed through the audience, and we are all selzed by the same shiver of horror. These are facts so far removed from our mentality that I should like to tell them as if they were ancient legends. But I assure you that they are exact, and that they happen, even today, alas, in the colonies. This is why we wish—contrary to that which you are told, either in Parliament, or at the Ministries, particularly at the ministry of the colonies, which is a veritable Bastile to take that you should be convinced, that with such a clique so backward, more backward than the peoples whom they pretend to civilize, there can be no compromise. It is an amputation that is necessary to make. It is dynamite that must be thrown at them to save a part of humanity! And what part of humanity? That which is as important as Europe, since it concerns a continent: Africa. (To be continued) Y. P. L.

At the 11 o'clock service Dr. Prowd preached from Luke 11:13—"And I say unto you." The subject was that of prayer and we had a blessing from the Lord. At the usual hour of the B. Y. P. U. Prof. H. D. Greer gave us a splendid discourse on the voluntary submission of Jesus to suffering and death, they being inevitable in the redemption of the world. All the members of the B. Y. P. U. took part in the discussion and all offered commendation of the speaker's ability. Dr. Prowd afterwards spoke on the position of Joseph the secret disciple of Christ. We have special sermons for the coming Sunday. Come and worship with us—come praying for a blessing. Dr. C. R. Evans will address the B. Y. P. U. at 7 P. M. PHILLIPS TEMPLE C. M. E.

CUURCH 8th St. and Towne Ave. Sunday was a great day at historic Eighth and Towne Avenue. Sunday school beginning promptly at 9:30 o'clock. The Sunday school is growing by leaps and bounds. Supt. Stratton, with his corps of officers welcomes you. The 11 o'clock hour wa sthe occasion of the Holy Communion. In the face of rain the people came to the service, and long before S. S. had adjourned, anxious people were there to worship the Master. The Rev. Dr. Miller, the pastor, discussed the subject, "Self Examination". Among the many things he said of examination was: "that there is no examination as self examination, for conscience is the ever directing agency that tells us to go straight."Many amens were heard as he pictured so forcefully the necessity of staying close to the Almighty. Three hundred and fifteen took communion. Consecration Services were held by the Allen Christian Endeavor League Mrs. Nettie Hughley will be the leader for next Sunday. Mrs. W. D. Miller, our pastor's wife, arrived in the city last week. She is a woman full of Christian piety, a HAMILTON M. E. CHURCH E. 18th St. and Naomi Ave. Rev. S. M. Beane, Pastor Sunday services at this church on last Sunday were of that high order which usually characterizes them. The pastor preached at the morning and evening hours, sermons that were at once interesting and profitable. The Sunday School held its monthly missionary day, and a fine offering was made for missions. The Epworth League was up to its usual standard. On Tuesday evening the King's daughters held forth, with a play entitled "The Revelation," under the direction of Miss Trent. This was an evening well worth while. During the day the Circle held a Turkey Dinner. On Friday evening the Literary and Social department of the League held their bi-monthly meeting. This evening, was enjoyed by all. This is the church of the cordial welcome and handshake. Come and see. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Furlong Tract, Cor. 54rd & Holmes T. Hines, Bastor Rev. A. T. Hines, Pastor We were blessed with splendid services on last Sunday. The pastor filled the pulpit both monning and evening. Baptismal services were conducted just at the close of the morning service. Rev. Hines used for his subject in the evening—The Call to Service. At this time after hearing such a wonderful subject so beautifully handled there were three in persons of Bro. P. B. Brown, Sis. E. Adams and Sis. Minnie Dent stepped out on the promises of God, declaring they had heard and accepted the call and were ready for service. In this issue we wish to thank the ministers and their congregations for their presence and support at our dedicatory services on last Sunday, Nov. 30th. They proved to us that we still need larger quarters as our new building was filled to the overflow and a number were unable to get inside at all. Again we repeat our appreciation for your loyalty. RECEIVES THREE DELEGATIONS Recently the President received three delegations of Colored Americans within an hour. Two were political; one a delegation of Chicagoans, who were the guests of the Congressman Madden, and simply called to pay their respects. In this latter connection it may be stated that Congressman Madden gave a luncheon for the Chicagoans in the private dining room of the speaker of the house of representatives in the capitol. This is the first time in history that any such luncheon was ever given there, and demonstrates a slant in the new order of things that is being generously commented upon. The congressman was ill, but was represented by his secretary Gilbert Nettleton and by the 2nd Asst. Postmaster General Paul Henderson, his son-in-law. Remarks of welcome were made by Mr. Netteton, and were responded to by Nahum Daniel Brasher of the Associated Negro Press. Other addresses were made by Oscar De Priest, Robert S. Abbott, Dr. Mary Waring, Mrs. Charles Pickett and General enderson. The tables were elaborately decorated with cut flowers, and the menu was "rich and rare". The other delegations received by President Coolidge at the White House were headed by Dr. George Cannon of Jersey City, N. J. and William Matthews of Boston. Dr. Cannon was the spokesman of the occasion, representing the Colored Citizens' Conference of which he is president and which held an executive meeting two days before in Washington. Those with Mh. Matthews were largely the personel of the nastere and western headquarters of the Republican National Committee during the campaign. They were united in purpose. Three specific proposals were put before the President out of the seventeen points of the program outlined by Mr. Matthews. They were: The abolition of segregation in government departments; the appointment of citizens to office strictly on merit, without regard to color, and financial consideration by the State Department for Libreia. The delegations were grouped around the private office of the President. The President stood while Dr. Cannon talked and listened with ken interest. In his response, the President made the significant statement that the recommendations are reasonable. e spoke of his earnest interest. In his response, the President made the significant statement that the recommendations are reasonable. He spoke of his earnest desire to serve the public fairly, an commended the efforts of Colored America to seek political justice, and merely cautioned against impatience, giving a widely known concrete example of impatience, but which is known to have developed eventually to the satisfaction of all right thinking people. The delegations were very much impressed with the sincerity of purpose of the President. The third event is the passage in the annual message of the President to Congress. Know the Coolidge nature his way of doing thing and read between the lines and it will be discovered that the utterance of the President excels anything that has been aid in recent year. Here are the words again: "Gradually, but surely with the almost universal sympathy of those among whom they live, the colored people are working out their own destiny. I firmly believe that it is better for all concerned that they should be cheerfully accorded their full constitutional rights, that they should be protected from all of those imposition to which, from their position, they naturally fall a prey, especially from the crime of lynching, and that they should receive every encouragement to become full partakers in all the blessings of our common American citizenship." Political leaders of all classes, are of the opinion that the President means exactly what he says with reference to "cheerfully accorded their full constitutional rights". Thers is an element of psychology in the suggestion, as well as significance, that is far reaching. In a letter to the President, William C. Matthews said concerning the message: "Permot me to thank you and congratulate you in the sentiment expressed in your message to Congress about colored people. It will strike a sympathetic note in the hearts of all our citizens. If such a policy is consistently adhere dto by all representatives of our government, the time will soon come when the Negro will not be forced to look upon everything in terms of race." STAFF CORRESPONDENCE Washington, D. C., Dec. 10.—(By The Associated Negro Press.)—President Coolidge has given a no wvision to America on political and economic justice. He has done so in three events it are outstanding and unmistakable. America will not underestimate this lofty position of the President, and subsequent events will undoubtedly justify the confidence that so many thousands of voters placed in him at the November election, according to the opinion of leading people here: The first event was the quiet suggestion to Secretary Mellon that the "segregation tablets" in the office of the register of the treasury be removed. The force of this suggestion is better understood: when it is recalled B. B.

JIM CROW AS IT IS. - One of the most realistic articles on Jim Crow practice is the product of (he editor of the Black Dispatch published at Oklahoma City. Editor Dungee speaks right out and indeed his trenchant pen moves sturdily for the service of his race. We vote the call for the Annual meeting of the Negro Press Association and appreciate the fact that a visit to the meeting place will give .he newspapermen an opportunity io visit and inspect a model. The Argus to our mind measures up as a real printing establishment, Aside from this che great Poro College and the big Y. M. C. A. truly the 1923 session should be full 6f hope and inapivation. The pernicious killings during the last ten davs in which members of our group have played the leading role is to be re-| gretted, for up to this time the gunmen and high-jackers were playing havoc all over (he city and 20 one accused ihe lowly blacks. However, this situation could not last and ihe crap games and moonshine were largely responsible for the snuffing out of several human lives—while whisky, craps and women went on a rampage. Assemblyman F. M. Roberts, a four time winner io the As- sembly will go to Sacramento as one of the strong and depend- able forces for safe and sane legislation at the coming session of the legislature and truly the time has arrived when he can command a place in the very front ranks and in doing this his constituency will or should be the beneficiaries. We have an abiding faith in his ultimate success to procure just legisla- tion and all the things which go with it, for and on behalf of those who have so valiantly labored for his success. | JUST THE COMMON SENSE WAY. Not the old way—nor the new way, but just the common sense wayris what the world needs today. There is life, oh yes, real life and joy in the wake of life that can be had without the destruction of one’s mind, and body. ‘ The average young fhan or woman of ioday will not even permit the sages left over from yesterday to tell them to go back to the old way, and we agree with them in that, but we do ague that men eve losing sift of the commonsense way. In business do unto others as you would have them do unto you. In society keep. your nose in the middle of-your face for as a rule the one who readily turns up his nose is conscious stricken to the extent that he is trying to beat the other fellow to it. In religion words without worke'are like a sounding brass and tingling symbal. Works, however, do not mean that ygu should attempt to point the way to the straight and narrow path when you are toddling along in the middle of the road. |, We are in receipt of numerous lettersall of a pessimistic strain, in comment on our last week’s editorial—“Don’t Wait Too Late.” They tell us that we must keep it up but that our very own people, “just won't do.” They say they simply will not.get together. One writer goes so far-as to say, that the on- ly possible means for the members of our group to get any- where with a dry goods or shoe store, is for the whites to quit selling’ from their stores; that only the proscriptions as practis- ed in the South will bring them together. To admit of these suggestions shows. Weakness and begs the question. We_ate satisfied that it will take a campaign of education to bring these things to pass aaieercfore we must urge upon all who stand for race progress to join in and make up an army of volunteers to put over this program of progress.

SPRT PAGE TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF CALIFORNIA EAGLE COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES SCHUPP VS GURLEY Another great boxing show has passed into history with the final count over Sailor Borgardus just knocked out by Young Ford in the final round of the final bout at the Assembly Athletic Club, tonight. Wednesday Night, December 10th. Another great boxing show has the final count over Sailor Borgard Young Ford in the final round of the bly Athletic Club, tonight. Sailor Borgardus was substituting for Victor Alexander who was unable to go on because of an injury to his leg sustained boxing Kid Savage at Mexicali, last Sunday night. After such a torrid session of four rounds put in by Young Sam Langford and Young Papke the main event seemed a trifle slow but everybody kept their seats expecting something to happen. Something did happen in the third round when Ford caught Bergordus on the jaw with his right. Bergordus stayed down so long that everybody started home. He came up on the count of nine and then the bell rang. After a refreshing minute's rest Bergordus came back strong and was doing real, well even carrying the battle to Ford when the short upper cut came that ended the battle. PARKE KERT LANGORD BUSY The extra weight that Papke carried about his broad shoulders was almost the undoing of Young Sam Langford. The decision was a draw but everybody was too much out of breath to cheer when the decision was given. Young Sam was given a good hand however when he entered and also when he left the ring. We gave Sam the first and third rounds. The second went to Papke when he bounced Sam on the canvas with a right swing to the head. Sam made a monkey of Papke at times with his left jabbing and poking to the stomach, but you could hear Papke blows all over the arena when he landed. This bout alone was worth the price of admission. THOMPSON A WONDER Boxing erect, his guard always shoulder high and without making one superfluous move Jack Thompson boxed his way to an easy victory over Young Compson. We can only repeat that Thompson is the classiest boxer that has stepped into the Assembly Athletic Club ring. Thompson jabs, hooks and punches perfectly and Compson's face was a red smear at the end of the fourth round from Thompson's bulls eye punching. In the other bouts Kid Dixon took a popular decision over John Tilas, Joe Burch knocked out Frank Cruze in the second round and in the curtain raiser Young Jimmie Dixon koed Joe Ferra in the first round of the opening event. The crowd was the largest that has attended the Assembly Athletic Club's boxing and with a corresponding increase next Wednesday night the house will be packed. TID-BITS By Leonard Massenburge (For The Associated Negro Press) China $i_5$ the ancestral home of the goldfish. It still abunces there in a wild state. It is widely distributed, also, throughout Japan, but it is said to be possible that it is not indigenous to that country, but has escaped from cultivation and reverted to its original character, just as it has in Europe and America. The Chinese began to breed goldfish and to produce new varieties at a very remote time. Characteristic features which they engrafted on the goldfish stocks are dragon eyes, slimless backs and calico color. In Japan the colored goldfish has been known since 1500. ```markdown ``` VIC ALEXANDER VICTOR OVER KID SAVAGE L. A. Heavyweight Outboxes Serb In Twenty Rounds At Bull Ring Arena BIG CROWD SEES BOUT Floyd Johnson Sends Challenge To Winner Mexicalli, Mex., Mex. 8.—Vic Alexander, colored heavyweight, won his second victory over Kid Savage at Mexicali, bull ring yesterday afternoon when he defeated the powerful Serb in twenty rounds of hard milling. Alexander won his bout on points. He received the unanimous decision of three judges because he outboxed his opponent. Neither contestant showed and indication of physical weakness at any time in the long battle. Savage seldom gave ground. He bored in incessantly, waiting for the clinches before striking a blow, and then working hard on the Negro's kidneys and the back of his heal. Alexander met these onruches with clean left jabs to the head and undercuts to the body. In the opening rounds he fought back in the clinches outpointing Savage at his own game, but toward the end of the contest, he changed tactics and wasted but little energy in fighting back after they had locked arms. One Round For Savage Savage had a clean-cut lead in only one round of the fight. That was in the ninth, when he opened up and forced the colored boy to the ropes with sedge-hammero blows to the body. Alexander had a safe margin of advantage in at least ten of the twenty rounds, and finished in the twentieth with a burst of slugging that made the judge's task an easy one. Tendler Whips Negro Boxer Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 10.—(By The Associated Negro Press.)—Joe Libby, the crack race welterweight boxer met his waterloo in the person of Lew Tender, white, at the Armory Monday night, when the white boy defeated Libby in seven of the ten rounds of the wind-up before a packed house, while thousands tried to gain admission. The fight was a hard one and Libby was promised a match with the welterweight champion if he won from Tendler. This Libby tried to do, but the white boy had more experience in the art of hitting and light from being hit. Libby was sent to the floor for the count of nine in the last round. Both boys left the ring badly beaten up. --- J. BELL LEADING HITTER OF ST. LOUIS GIANTS ACCORDING TO AVERAGES RELEAS- ED BY OFFICIAL SCORER Official batting averages, published exclusively in this issue of the California Eagle and including all games played by the St. Louis Giants at Goodyear, show that James Bell, the acrobatic southpaw center fielder tops all Giant plays with a batting average of .377. "Steady" Murray the greatest catcher seen on the Pacific Coast since the days of Petway in his prime follows Bell by just two points. "Dancing" "Yipping" Bobo the lightning bolt first baseman batting .290 leads the entire team for total bases with 31 to his credit. Out of a total of fourteen hits nine of Bobo's blows have been for extra bases including 2 home runs 4 doubles and three triples. Murray is second to Bobo for the number of total bases with 30. BIGGEST BASEBALL SERIES TO BE PLAYED SOON Managers Lonnie Goodwin And Lorenzo Cobb Get Together On Playing Dates Beginning Christmas day and continuing for five games, Saturday December 27, Sunday, December 28, New Year's Day and the following Sunday, The St. Louis Giants now playing at Goodyear Park and the L. A. White Sox playing at 38th and Ascot will lock horns in a "Croocical" series that will probably decide which is the better team. It is a pleasure to announce that the managers of the two clubs have gotten together and arranged a series of contests that would sooner or later be demanded by the public. The teams will alternate from Park to park and during the playing of this series the fans will have only one park to attend but at the same time seeing both clubs in action for the price of one admission. This series will out draw any series of contests that could be staged at this time and it is the belief of the writer that some sparkling baseball will be played before crowded stands. J. BELL LEADING HITTER ACCORDING TO AV ED BY OFFICE Official batting averages, publish California Eagle and including all gane Goodyear, show that James Bell, the a all Giant plays with a batting average "Steady" Murray the greatest cat the days of Petway in his prime follow "Yipping" Eobo the lightning bolt first team for total bases with 31 to his cniine of Bobo's blows have been for doubles and three triples. Murray is s bases with 30. "Pinky" Ward a product of the Los Angeles sand lots has a very respectable batting average of .360 and is number three from the top. "Pinky" is playing the leadoff position and has scored 12 runs four less than J. Bell who leads his teammates in that department. Ward has crashed out four triples and is tied with Creacy for the highest number of three base hits. Looking farther into George Reed's averages we find that Russell the kingpin pivot man is tied with Bobo for home runs with two. Murray and Riggins have a home run each. Bobo is the only player to drive the ball over the Goodyear fence this season. Third baseman Creacy is also a long distance hitter. Six of his fourteen safeties have been for extra bases four being triples and two doubles. "Sparky Plug" Reece batting near the end of the batting order has gathered 11 hits most of them which have come in a pinch. "Sparky" is great at out-guessing the infield as he can either hit or bunt. Team Average Good The team itself is hitting the ball for a grand average of 282 which shows that the team is by no means a weak aggregation with the willow. Ross Leads Pitchers Captain Ross leads his pitching staff by one game. Ross has a one game advantage over Gurley and Bell who are tied for games won and lost. Record of Games Played P W L T Pct.

The added weight of father time's hand was more than the Kid could carry and get away with and the Kid, just a Kid in name only, went down to a defeat before the merciless punching of Tommy Gibbons. The battle was the main event of the Christmas fund benefit of the New York American. The gate totaled $107,599. The State tax was $5,379.95. This leaves a net sum of $102,719. The boxers got $52,665. The expenses will run about $4000, leaving almost $46,000 profit. It was the most successful show of the boxing season, and all the spectators agreed it was the greatest. GIBBONS WON ALL WAY Gibbons worked carefully on Norfolk in every round and scored his first knockdown in the fifth round. He had Norfolk down three times in the sixth and after the third knockdown the referee stopped the fight Gibbons being credited with a technical knockout. FLOWERS IN BRILLIANT Tiger Flowers with the fower of youth on his side and Johnnie Wilson former middleweight champion fought the semi-wind up Flowers tore into his man in the first round and from then on R wadd just a question of how long Wilson would last. Flowers is headed for a championship and this event was just a stepping stone to greater achievements in the squared circle. ER OF ST.

True it is a fact that the Giants beat Schupp the last time they started against him but it is not a foregone conclusion they will repeat Sunday. There will be a real hot game at Goodyear regardless of who wins. The Gilmore Oilers are coming to Goodyear for two games this time instead of one.

Gray Fighting race prejudice is an important and necessary feature of racial endeavor. It is made doubly difficult on account of the lack of co-operation and sympathy manifested by our own group. The work of years can be torn down overnight through the carelessness and lack of foresight on the part of some of our people. The dominant race is always ready to poke fun at our serious efforts and they invariably emphasize our weaknesses and shortcomings. They lose sight of the fact that their faults are as numerous if not more so than ours. There is, perhaps, no weapon that we have used to greater effect than our great gift of song. We have used it to build schools, churches, homes and hospitals. We have used it to soften the hearts of those to whom we have pleaded for justice. Many plans that would have worked harm to the race have been changed on account of our sweet songs. Music then has played an important part in our development and is a powerful agent when properly used. How careful then should we be to see that only our best music is rendered before the other race and above all, that the performers should be of a high caliber. Yet fate seems to will it that our worst side is presented when members of the other race are present. We must not forget that man judges from the outward appearance. We the judged by what others use us do. A constant demonstration of superiority, culture, and progress is absolutely necessary for any group of people or individual who would command the respect due it or him. One cannot stand still. It is not enough to say that we are this or we are that. The world must see for itself. When a colored performer steps on the stage the white audience prepares itself for fun.If it doesn't get it there is disappointment. The general belief is that we are not capable of anything else. We know of one young man who took his violin to a repair shop to have it overhauled. The man was surprised when he learned that the owner was a serious student and knew something about Bach, Paganini and other masters. He said that he did not believe that a Negro had brains enough to learn the works of the masters. When Roland Hayes went to Berlin the audience came prepared to laugh. After he had sung German songs in perfect German, they were amazed and said that he sang in better German than many of their own singers. This is the attitude of the mass regarding us. We help to strengthen this attitude every time a group of our people goes before a white audience and give an entertainment that our own people would not come to hear. They do not believe that we can do anything and we help then to believe that by showing how little we can do. We know that we have capable performers whose work ranks well with theirs. We know that all of our people are not wild, illiterate and "good for nothing". We know that we are progressing and have high ambitions. The bitter part is that they do not know. In former years our talented people had to "pass" for something else in order to get decent engagements Now we are receiving better recognition and can "pass" for Negroes. We have much work to do, however, and must commence wi hourselves. We must quit encouraging impossible talent. We must declare war on imposters who come here claiming affiliation with some great school and who do not even play the notes of the pieces they are supposed to render. We must urge those groups who appear frequently before the other race to select the best talent obtainable and to maintain a big standard in their work. They must remember that they cannot sing the spirituals without rehearsing them. That is one of their gravest mistakes. We must support our own race talent. There is no reasonable excuse why a city with a population of two thousand or more Negroes cannot have a visit from at least one good race artist a year. If we want race artists we must support class" music, it is nobody's fault but our own. Schools, teachers, theaters, recitals, the phonograph, the radio, books and other agencies are doing their best to spread culture and the them. If we do not understand "high- A. L.

ORY'S CREOLE ORCHESTRA WILL FURNISH MUSIC FOR ASSEMBLY AUDI- TORIUM DANCES With the placing of the far-famed Ory's Creole Orchestra under contract to play for all dances at the big and most beautiful Assembly Auditorium by Manager, Wm. Roberson, it is a foregone conclusion that this spot will be in the lime light for those who appreciate the best music and the dance. This orchestra will open with a grand prize ball on Thursday night, December 18th, and dancing will be held every evening of the week except Wednesday and Sunday. Ory's orchestra has just closed a playing engagement from one of the largest halls up town conducted by white people. It is well and favorably known as one of the crack musical organizations of the West and the repertoire which they plan to put on at the Assembly Auditorium will please even the most fastidious. Remember the place and the date Assembly Auditorium, 833 Central Avenue, December 18th. CLOSE COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE The ten days community chest drive ended November 26th, the goal $2,522,408.64 was not reached. Donations are being received at headquarters. $50,000 is still required. The campaign has been an education to social service workers and those interested in philanthropy. In our division we found many who were not able to donate, a number of needy cases were reported to our splendid major, Mrs. Sarah Ash, who made note of all cases. Seeing the financial need in our division, Mrs. Ash instead of having dinner each day at the Billmore, donated the price each day to the names of my Lieutenants who rendered splendid service. They were Dr. Batie Robinson, Miss Mary Reed, Miss Lelia Follis, Miss Ada Russel Mrs. Vera Winston, Mrs. S. E. Edwards. Other members on account of sickness or other reasons were unable to work. The last one or two of us with our Colonel Mrs. Charles Gray and Major Mrs. Ash, with our division had dinner at the Biltmore I want to thank each one who assisted me, and Dr. Robinson for the use of her car. I wish also to thank Mrs. Sadie Cole, captain of Division 13 for their donation to our division. EVA CARTER BUCKNER, Captain Team 250, Division 10. Y. W. C. A. Rev. A. P. Shaw of Wesley Chapel will be the speaker at the Vesper service, Sunday afternoon, Dec. 14th at 4 o'clock. Wesley Junior Choir will furnish the music. We are indebted to Rev. Miller of 8th and Towne and his Junior Choir for a fire service last Sunday. love of the Beautiful. If we do not grasp the opportunity we have no one to blame but ourselves. We must not expect the other race to do for us what we should do for ourselves. Every poor performer or performance of a serious program merely increases the other fellow's dislike and prejudices him against other similar efforts made by the race. Let us not think that conditions described above do not concern us. Anything that increases prejudice, hate or oppression is of vital interest to the whole race. New York News And Comments New York, N. Y., Dec. 10.—(By The Associated Negro Press.)—The Geo. Winte "Shuffle Aong" company has been booked into the Lafayette theatre for the holiday weeks beginning December 22. The show with Eddie Conners and Edgar Martin in the star parts and with the biggest and finest production of the piece that has ever been offered has been gain a phenomenal pace since its opening five weeks since. On December 11, the Tattler will present a number of professional artists who have donated their services for a mid night show the proceeds of which will be used to provide Christmas toys for a number of Harlem children who would otherwise be without these essentials for a real holiday. "The Negro Character Combinations or a Surface Melody of Carefree Happiness on a Ground Basis of Sorrow and Melancholy" is the wording of the Lopez program with reference to W. C. Handy's "The Evolution of the Blues". Mable Loving, a former member of the Philadelphia Club is also in New York. The clever and dainty little lady came in to join the Manhattan Players but for some reason the Robert Levy aggregation seems to have been disbanded.

If Matilda A. Walton, the concert singer from Seattle, who has been touring with the Harrod Jubilee Singers for the past five years is as entertaining on the platform as she is as a conversationalist, (and a big scrap book of clippings assures that fact) she is simply marvelous. There are many callers in a big newspaper office, and some are long remembered by the most callous journalist. We shall always be grateful to Archio Harrod for bringing into our sanctum this brilliant and cultured young lady. Johnson and Lillard the big Chicago barmón boys have at last fallen into the hands of the police. They are no cowards. They held their own against over three hundred blue coats, but odds were against them, and they had finally give up to the New York minions of law and order. No. They were not arrested. They just sang for the graduates of the Police School to the new members of the force at the banquet celebrating their admission to the force of "the finest" at the Boulevard Hotel. Hurry G.

Under the new regulations parking of all vehicles on the downtown streets will be prohibited between 8 and 9:30 a.m. The afternoon parking time will be slightly increased, the new regulation prohibiting parking from 4:30 to 6 p.m. The present regulation prohibits parking from 4 to 6:15 p.m. Between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. the parking limit in the downtown district will be 45 minutes. WATCH YOUR STEP Hundreds have been arrested recently before the court for various infractions of the traffic laws. Speeding has been the main violation and many have been assigned to the city jail hoted for from 1 to 5 days. Of course arrests are made daily but just at present there seems to be an epidemic sponsored by the traffic officers and from the number that is being tagged and the stiff fines being levied the tax payers should be exempt from taxes next year. If you must make time save taking a chance by hiring a taxi. ARNOLD LOSES AGENCY ARNOLD LOSES AGENCY "Harold Arnold, for a number of years the distributor of the Hudson Motor Car, is no longer at the helm. Walter Murphy has supplanted him. Mr. Murphy, previous to taking over the Hudson Agency was a Lincoln and Ford Dealer. It is rumored that Mr. Arnold is to become the agent for the Maxwell and Chrysler, saye Mr. A. L. Johnston, a Hudson dealer. CRYSTALLIZATION CRYSTALLIZATION Crystallization and brokerage, formerly given as the cause for the failure of a part of a motor car after a long period of service, has become one of the exploded theories of the past. Studies which have destroyed the old "crystallization" theory have also pointed the way to even greater dependability in highly stressed parts of the present-day car, according to L. A. Danse, metallurgist of the Cadillac Motor Car Company. "As metals are naturally crystalline in structure" states Mr. Danse, "it is evident that breakerage in service is not due to crystallization. The metal is a crystalline mass from the time it is first melted and poured. When it solidifies after melting and pouring it assumes the crystalline character; the same as water solidifies to snow, frost or ice crystals. "Researches in metallurgy show that where a motor car part fails in service, the principal cause is not mysterious at all. It is usually just plain dirt. It is impurity-so microscopically fine that without the most conscientious examination it defies detection. "The method of determining the cleanliness of a metal is really very simple. It is merely a process of taking infinite pains—accuracy of examination and analysis to a degree formerly unknown even in the best of laboratories. "Here at Cadillac every lot of metal intended for use in highly stressed parts for the car must undergo the most thorough microscopical examination. "Sometimes we have to follow a piece of metal all the way back to the steel mill, where it was first poured into ingots, and suggest changes in methods there in order to bring it up to the required standard. Chauffeurs Association Has Rousing Meeting The Calif. Chauffeurs Association had a rousing meeting on last Monday night and decided to do a little investing with their surplus on hand. Look like they have finally struck the right cord. If You Eail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened AUTO INSURES WIDE RANGE OF WEATHER By A. L. Johnston There may have been some causes for critising the sameness of the Southern California climate in the days before automobiles were invented. But when you leave the sunshine and flowers of Los Angeles and in a day's travel have any climate at your command from the frigid breezes of Bear Valley and the San Jacintos to the warmth of the Imperial Valley cotton fields, there is not much ground left for the criticism of "sameness." "If the motor car tourist wants to find them, he can easily get to scenes that will give him plenty of reminder of eastern landscapes", says C. M. Stevens of the Durant-Stevens Co Flint distributors. "Take a drive as that north from Beaumont up Wildwood Canyon to Oak Glen. The autumn colorings you will find along that road now, and the apple orchards loaded with fruit will give you much more of an eastern atmosphere than that of southern California. "Or, the higher mountains will give you a still more realistic touch of winter. In the San Jacinto Mountains, Idylwild, for example,with its mile-high elevation, can give a perfectly good-initiation of an eastern morning right now. Idylwild is visited all winter by a steady stream of motor cars, and only once in its history has it been blocked by snow for more than a day or so. The roads are dragged immediately after every storm, and more and more people each year are making the winter trip for a touch of the zero weather with our regular bran do weather in Los Angeles."

That seems to be quite a shock to the members of the Baptist Church here. So the Executive Board of the Northwest Baptist Committee met here to formulate plans to try and prevent the Rev. Carter from leaving here, because they think that if he should leave here now, it would be disastrous to the city and state. So the committee met here Tuesday, November 25, and will also have another meeting in the near future, which time they hope to arrange things satisfactorily. Mrs. F. R.

Her playing Friday night was characterized by both delicacy and brilliancy and effective tone coloring. The Pianist opened her program with Mendelssohn's "Seventeen Variations Serienes" followed by a Chopin group in which were the Prelude in E. Flat Major, Valse in A. Flat Major and Polonaise in A.
