Whites and Blacks Can't Fight TELEPHONE: VAndike 9244 LOS ANGELES MAN GETS VICE PRESIDENCY OF ALPHA PHI ALPA CONVENTION Phone: VANDIKE 9244 VOLUME 38 LOS ANGELES N PRESIDENCY OF CONVE After a triumphant trip to New York City, where he attended the Seventeenth Annual Convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and was elected First Vic-President of this organization, James McGregor, popular U. S. C. student, returned Sunday. The largest assemblage of college men in the country was present at this convention. From all parts of the United States, representatives came to assist in making out the program of Alpha Phi Alpha for 1925. With more than fifty chapters in various college centers throughout the country, Alpha has over 2,000 members in its undergraduate chapters alone. It fosters annually a "Go To College" drive, offers scholarships and assists in various ways in promoting racial progress. MR. JAMES9 McGREGOR This is the third consecutive time that Mr. McGregor has been honored. In 1922 he was elected third Vice-President; in 1923, second Vice-President and in 1924, First Vice-President with entire supervision of all chapters on the Pacific Coast as far East as Chicago. At the convention he met and intermingled with some of the Race's most distinguished men and women and dined with Dr. W. E. B. DuBois Editor of The Crisis, at the New York City Club. TO THE PULBIC IN GENERAL SUSPEND BAPSTIST PREACHERS FROM MINISTERS' UNION THE REV. ARCHIE WILLIAMS AND REV. MACK ALLEN NAMES NO LONGER APPEAR ON ROSTER At Monday's session the following resolutions were adopted. Resolution 1. Resolved that this Union suspend the Rev. Archie Williams from its official roster of this Union and also that his membership he suspended pending the investigation of the evidence received from the proceedings of the Court. Resolution No. 2. Because of the newspaper reports circulated throughout the state concerning one Mr. Mack Allen a Baptist preacher, and a frequent visitor to our churches in the interest of an orphan home in this city for which he solicits money from the public to operate this home, and because we have reason to believe the truth of the report of Mr. McAllen. Be it known to the public in general that we have withdrawn from Mr. McAllen our Christian fellowship and that we will investigate the running of the orphanage home before we give any more help. Signed. L. A. Baptist Ministers Union, Rev. J. D. GORDON, Pres. HOW TO BE A BUSINESS MAN ```markdown ``` In his interview with Dr. DuBois, Mr. McGregor was given many valuable suggestions as to how to effectively carry out the Junior N. A. A. C. P. work in this city, of which organization he is President. He brings to his followers in the N. A. A. C. P. an immense fund of ideas and continued plans for promoting the work of this organization. On his return trip he was fortunate in visiting some of the most outstanding Negro business concerns in Chicago—The Binga State Bank; The Liberty Life Insurance Company; The Douglass National Bank; and the main office of The Associated Negro Press—and says he was greatly impressed with the progress of Negro business. Mr. McGregor embodies the ideals and intellectual aspirations of the New Negro. Along with Pickens, DuBois and Kelly Miller, he has implicit faith in the power of true education to surmount all obstacles and to solve the Negro's problems. Aside from the many scholastic honors he has won in debating and public speaking, he is Contributing Editor on the Young Citizen Magazine, official publication of the Church of All Nations. ALPHA PHI ALPHA CONVENTION THE MOST REMARKABLE GROUP OF NEGRO COLLEGE MEN EVER ASSEMBLED MORE THAN 800 PRESENT FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS IN NEGRO LIFE DISCUSSER CANNON RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT 1925 CONVENTION AT DETROIT, MICHIGAN New York City.. Jan. 9.—The most remarkable group of Negro college men ever before to assemble for the definite purpose of seriously discussing fundamental problems of the Negro youth in America and the particular part which the Negro college men and women must play ended a five day session in New York City, Wednesday, December 31, 1924, at 12 o'clock, mid-night, when Raymond W. Cannon, the National President of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, declared the Seventh Annual Convention of that organization closed at the annual banquet held in the 135th Street Branch Y. M. C. A., New York City. It was this organization which had brought together fully 80 of its members, graduates and undergraduates of the leading American colleges, and universities from all parts of the United States, from Maine to California, and from Minnesota to Georgia. The concrete results which may be expected to grow out of the action taken by this group will, it is predicted, bring lasting good in connection with the development of the Negro in America, socially, economically, and politically speaking. This serious group of young college men brought inspiration to the great Negro population of New York City and the influence of this inspiration will be felt throughout the country. Alpha Phi Alpha Oldest Of Negro College Fraternities The Seventeenth Annual Convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the first and the oldest college fraternity organized by Negroes, was the occasion for the coming together of this large group of Negro college men. The convention opened Saturday afternoon, December 27, 1924, at 2 o'clock, at its headquarters, St. Phillips Episcopal School Auditorium, New York City. The opening session was attended by some 600 delegates and members of the fraternity, who came from all parts of the country to attend the convention which lasted from December 27th to 31st inclusive.

Strelenger, Chairman of Board of Boxing Commission for Los Angeles has decided that there will be no mixed boxing bout in this city. The fight game excludes the aspect of gambling: it is at least supposed to be a game of fair play, and the idea of injecting Jim Crowism into a game of play is decidedly un-American. Commissioner Strelenger should realize or be forced to realize that California is a typical American State and such small prejudice will not be permitted. [Ey The Associated Negro Press] Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 8.—A war be between white farmers, covering several southern states, is now being waged with Negro tenant farmers as the cause. The migration of Negroes to the North has so seriously affected farm labor that it has placed the large farm owners in the position of fighting to get and fighting to hold their "hands." During the week there have been two deaths, both caused by one white farmer enticing away the help of another. The first death occurred at North Carrollton, Miss., when Stanley Brady was shot and killed by Melvin Chambley. Brady had accused Chambley of taking his men over a long period. Chambley admitted shooting Brady, but claimed that he did so in self defense. Much excitement has prevailed around Birmingham. Ala., following the slaying of Eaton Hayes, a white farmer who was called from his home in the night and shot from an ambuscade. The Hayes family and the Rives family, both white, have cared on a feed for more that a year the first death occurring last year when Hugh Rives was slain. One of the Hayes men, Russell, was tried and discharged. Ill-feeling, however continued. The Rives were charged with taking a colored worker, James Duncan, from the Hayes. Duncan was arrested soon after the shooting and is being held as the star witness for the state.

The members of the Eta Chapter of Alpha Phi-Alpha Fraternity, located in New York City, had been busy during the week of the organization with welcoming the delegates and members who came pouring into the state since Wednesday, the 24th. The officers of Eta Chapter are: Dr. P. F. Anderson, President; Walter W. Scott, Vice-President; Herbert I. Boyd, Secretary; C. J. E-Robinson, Financial Secretary; Dr. E. P. Roberts, Treasurer; Dorland J. Henderson, Chapter Editor; and William K. Bell, House Manager. Formal Opening The convention was formally opened by Dr. P. F. Anderson, the President of Eta Chapter. After the invocation by Rev. Marshall Shepard, Assistant Pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church of New York City, also a member of Eta chapter, Attorney Thomas B. Dyett, of Eta introduced the National President of the Alpha Phi Alpha, Raymond W. Cannon. President Cannon made his annual address, follow- (Continued on Page Ten) WOMAN BRUTALLY ATTACKED Mrs. Anna Stokes who lives on San Julian Street near eighth, and maintains a cafe on East Ninth Street, was brutally attacked Monday morning at 2 A. M. in her San Julian Street home, which is also a rooming house, by two well dressed young men who applied for a room. It was said that, after giving Mrs. Stokes a $20.00 bill out of which she was to take the rent, when the woman turned to get the change she was struck on the head, and about the face by the two young men, who then robbed her for $25.00. Hearing Mrs. Stokes' screams the neighbors came to her rescue, but too late to intercept the bandits who had down. By William Pickens (By The Associated Negro Press) We hear that once upon a time a chap who was heir to millions of dollars married a "colored girl", as they call them in America when they have a little Negro blood ni their velene. But if they have Indian blood as a late mistress of the White House boasted that she had, they are still "white" to all intents and purposes. Well, this millionaire chap married this girl in secret, which indicates that he expected his dad to object to the "color". He professed to be "in love with her". acknowledged his knowledge of the "color". starred and posed for a day or two; and then, although he is a full grown man in both law and nature, he let himself be quietly "kidnapped" by his family, and in a few hours we hear of his suing for divorce from this girl whom he was living so "happily" with only yesterday. He had no charge against this woman whatsoever; she is his wife; she is evidently of good character or his dear daddy's filthy money would have muck-raked her long before this. And so this chap is now in the hands of his fellowspirators again, while his young wife is forced to fight alone against the whole hellish lot of them without his sympathy or support. He sneaked like a contemptible coward away from duty and manhood, abandoning the best chance he will ever have to make somebody out of himself and to be something more than an insipid "heir to millions". But the stuff for which noble women crave was certainly not in him. If I were an American girl of any color whatsoever, I would not accept him off a Christmas tree with a mille-dollars wrapped up with him. For such a creature is not a marr; he is just a MILLIONAIRE'S CUB. I have never seen such a Mistake-of-God,—but I have heard that once upon a time he was seen and known by name. (Ry The Associated Negro Press) "Chicago, Ill., Jan. 8—Cary B. Lewis, widely-known newspaper man of this city, bids fair to break all records as a diamond prize winner among colored newspaper men and writers. This year, for the third time, he was returned winner in an all-Chicago essay contest, the prize for which was a diamond ring. The subject written upon was: "The Negro's Contribution to the Solution of Present Day Problems'." The contest is promoted by B. W. Fitts, president of the Crystal Printing company. Mr. Lewis won his first prize in 1911, another in 1915 and this year entered the contest which was staged for winners in all past contests. Each year a diamond ring is given. The winning essay was read Sunday before the Grace Lyceum, one of the most select audiences of the city and is to be read before the Sunday school club of the Metropolitan Church.

J., Jan. 10.—Convicted of impersonation William Green, a city garbage collector, James Caldwell, 30, was sentenced to 60 days in the county jail Monday by Acting Recorder Waldmayer. Green informed the Court that he believed life imprisonment was the only adequate punishment for the offense. It appeared that Caldwell had benefited by the Christmas amnesty of Recorder Corio, and was released from jail. On Christmas eve he weat to Chelsza, an exclusive residential section of the city, and at the homes of the wealthy represented himself as their garbage collector. He was showered with presents. Green received a chilly reception when he made the rounds somewhat later and was branded by some as an imposter. He called in the police and the fraud was detected. The Tower-Looking On And Listening In The Tower-Looking On And Listening In (For The Associated Negro Press) In the Annual Survey of The Associated Negro Press, a prediction was made that 1925 will be the year of Grand Opportunity for Colored America. It was pointed out fully in detail that all the signs of the tims, in all the fields of activity lea do that conclusion, and so might it be—must it be. It is very evident that whatever progress is made by the people of America, Colored people must do their part, an the whites must do their part; and in many matters there must be communicating interest. President Coofidge, in his December message to Congress, noted the significant fact that there is today a pleasant feeling, a more cordial relationship between the two distinctive acid groups of America, than ever before. This is undoubtedly true, and upon this truth must the larger development go forward. The loud fact is this: There are more white Americans standing who are willing to give Colored Americans a man's chance than have ever before been seen in this country. They are going about it quietly, where quietude is satisfactory; and they are brilliantly audible, when it is necessary for their voice to be heard. This is a very hopeful sign for racial advancement. Without here recounting the several causes for all of this, b it said that it is a condition that the people must not lose sight of, for even one moment. In fact, there must be generous encouragement of this developing attitude, there must b generosity and mutual toleration. To do, whatever, will be done in 1925, the men and women now before the public will perform the largest amount of the work: and there will be new men and women, who have been in training, so to speak, who will make their appearance, prepared to take their place in the work of better adjustment. Some of those now active, will drop out of the march, from weariness, displacement or death. Some of the new ones will take up the colors and march on. Wise people are always looking for new leadership, development. "Making Little Men Big and Big Men Bigger" is not a bad motto, and only dangerous where people are too cowardly to stand the test of merit. In such cases there is only one thing to do: March On! There has been a Tower built by the Associated Negro Press, and there is a watchman in the tower. He is looking on. He has the latest im proved radio equipment, he is listening in. He will tell the world what he sees and hears, he will call names he will be fair, he will be just, he will never sleep. There will be some hum- life is hard without humor; there will be some surprises, no doubt, and there will be some warnings, when such are necessary. In all events, The Man In The Tower, will never miss. The season ought to be one of fine weather, and the harvest good. A LIVE WIRE Chas. C. J.

Will Make Men Live Forever (Lby The Tssociated Negro Press) London, Jan. 10.—In a signed statement, Mcnday, Dr. George Vorndoff, the gland expert said that in the efuture men will be able to live as long as they like. "The grafting operation" he writes, "cannot shorten life, but must lengthen it. This is easily explained by the fact that the young, healthy substances which the new gland desseminates throughout the system not only tone up the cell but increase their vitality and bring them fresh energy. "We know definitely, therefore, that life can be prolonged considerably by grafting, all the more because we can repeat the operation when a young gland taken from another subject finally after many years has-become exhausted in turn. In the experiments I have made with animals, I have found the second graft has produced quite as much effect as the first. "Our bodily cells, like infuscoria, can live forever. By means of successful grafts at long intervals we can, I believe prolong life at will. Therefore, the time will come when we will allow ourselves to die only when we have become tired of living." Zone Gale "Bursting Bonds (For The Associated Negro Press) Every public library should include a copy of "Bursting Bonds", the enlarged edition of "The Heir of Slaves" which is the story of William Pickens. First, because every student of whatever age will be stimulated by this recital of a boy's struggle, told in this straight forward and compact fashion—for we are still sufficiently a primitive people, we are in the world, so that the story of the conquest of a start has the still greater drama of the struggle as carried on by a Negro, in a land where deference to the social stigma of cutgrown slavery is regarded as race prejudice. In the first part of the book. The Heir of Slaves, there is the immemorial and basic moment of the awakening of a mind within a body which is shackled by adverse conditions of poverty plus this social color line. The march of the little boy through the southern schools, his arrival at a preparatory school with his 75 dollars and his otherwise empty hands, on no more than a half line written to him months before—"You can have hope"; his ultimate graduation from Yale University, with his Phi Beta Kappa key; his election as dean of one college and then as its vice-president; and his career as a lecturer in the interests of his people, all this is the stuff of life of whatever race. The simple fact that we are all more alike than we are different was never more strikingly symbolized than in histories like this taken from any race or nationality of the world. And in the majority of them, too; will stand, shadowy, some figure who knew and who cared and encouraged; such a figure as this author lightly etches in the person of his mother, Fannie Porter Pickens. The second part of the book is a grim commentary on the first, though the commentary lies between the lines. For having followed this lad through all his courageous and triumphant years as he was equipping himself to take his part in the world, we have next his playing that part against a prejudice not only cruel but provincial. We have the picture of William Pickens, Fale Graduate, dear and vice president of a college with honorary degrees from Fisk, Tennesse; see, Alabama and Texas universities; a college teacher of Latin, Greek German, and Sociology, an author of half a dozen important studies of his race, and above all as chief figure in his own astonishing story, and we see him, put to indignity and discomfiture in travelling on trains from one lecture engagement to another. The book is a valuable record, an important contribution to the story of contemporary times, for the future to wonder at and for the present to weigh. Also it is absorbing reading. James H. Garrott, popular architect, is confined at the Dunbar Hospital. (By The Tssocated Negio Press) Catawissa, Pa., Jan. 10.—Death recently broke one of the most unusual quartete of which residents of this vicinity ever heard, it was learned here last Sunday, when word was received of the death of George Waters, of North Carolina. The four men met here a short time ago, all of them being named George Waters. Two of them lived in Catawissa, being uncle and nephew, and the other two were father and son, living in a small town in North Carolina. Wrecks Train For Sweetheart Wrecks Train For Sweetheart (By The Tssociated Negro Press), (By The Tssociated Negro Press) Lewistown, Pa. Jan. 10.—William Rosemund, 28 years old, a deaf mute, was arrested by Pennsylvania Railroad police Sunday in connection with three attempts to wreck fast night trains between the towns of Mifflin and Denholm, near here. The police examining Rosemund through his father and sister, said they are told by the father that the prisoner said he had been despondent over the refusal of a girl in New Brighton a suburb to marry him, that he had been counselled by "spirits" to wreck trains to trighton the girl in marrying him. The police were told also that he had given her $300. BOGUS A real man never hides his hand. Whatever was the intention of the person who, in the name of Mrs. Porter, sent in the announcement of the marriage of her daughter, Miss Thelmer to Mr. R. Smith; it was a cowardly act. Not even a clean cut joke between intimate friends would be carried to such an extreme. Such an overt ast is not only embarrassing to the parties concerned, but also to the newspaper that has been duped by your deception. Persons who resort to such tactics for whatever purpose are usually weak, non dependable characters. WOMAN ATTACKS ROOMER WITH COFFEE POT Among the court sensations of the week was the story of how Mrs. Maud Duncan, one of the proprietors of the beautiful Palm Inn ran amuck with a coffee pot, and nearly obliterated the eye sight of Mrs. Nono Simpson, one of the roomers. Texas Paper Praises Concert Master (For The Associated Negro Press) San Antonio, Texas, Jan 10. The an Antonia Express in a recent issue devoted nearly a column to comment upon the excellent work of Prof. N. P. B. Johnson of Nashville, who has been presenting local choral groups to the general public in Texas cities. A woman critic visited the concert and wrote the story. The particular woman is the most severe critic in the state. The story informs us that the white patrons for outnumbered the colored persons present. This is a mark of more friendly relations. This with the fact that Prof. Johnson has been working in this field for a number of years under the auspices of the educational board of the National Baptist Convention shows that the church fully appreciates the value of Music and the cultural value of the platform and stage to our advance. ALPHA PHI ALPHA (Continued from Page One) ing his introduction to the Convention. Among the other National Officers who were present at the opening session were Norman L. McGhee of Washington, D. C. National Secretary; Raymond P. Alexander of Philadelphia, Eastern Vice President; D. L. Brown, of Columbus, Ohio, MidWestern Vice President; James W. McGregor of Los Angeles, Calif.; Western Vice President; Dr. Homer Cooper of Chicago, National Treasurer; and Oscar C. Brown of Baltimore, Md. Editor of the official organ. Ever since the establishment in 1906 of the Alpha Phi Alpha, the college fraternity idea among Negro college students has rapidly spread until there are now seven national Negro college fraternities and three sororities. From the mother, chapter organized at Cornell University by a group of Negro male students, the Alpha Phi Alpha has spread until it now has fifty-three chapters located at the various colleges and universities of the United States, numbering among them such institutions as Harvard, Yale, Cornell, the Universities of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Illinois, Chicago, Ohio, Kansas, California, Howard, Wilberforce, Lincoln, Virginia Union, and Meharyr Medical College. It has now a membership of 3500 of whom 2000 are prominent graduates and honorary members, and 1500 undergraduate members. Curtis And Herndon Made Honorary Members One outstanding feature of the oonvention was the initiation of Dr. A. M. Curtis, prominent physician and surgeon of Washington, D. C., and Alonzo F. Herndon, noted Negro capitalist of Atlanta, Georgia, into the fraternity as Exalted honorary members. The initiatory ceremonies were held the early part of the evening of Saturday, December 27th. It was a most impressive affair. Particularly inspiring was it to the members of the fraternity, as well as to the men themselves, as they later expressed it. What was of unusual significance in connection with the initiation of these men into Exalted Honorary Membership was the fact that both men journeyed from their homes to the convention for the sole purpose of being made Honorary Members of the organization. In Mr. Herndon's case, it was necessary that he journey some 1500 miles, coming from the southern part of Florida to New York City for this occasion. Other Prominent Persons Attend Convention It was noted that members of other prominent men of the race who are Honorary Members of the fraternity felt compelled to forego their personal affairs and answer the call to be present at the New York convention of the fraternity. Among these were: George Cleveland Hall, of Chicago; Ill; Aaron E. Malone, of St. Louis; Mo; Garrett A. Morgan of Cleveland, Ohio; James A. Cobb, of Washington, D. C.; George E. Cannon, of Jersey City, N. J.; W. G. Alexander, of Newark, N. J.; Atty Isaac H. Nutter, Atlantic City, N. J. Other prominent members of the fraternity present at the convention were Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Eugene Knickle Jones, Atty Daniel W. Bowles, Dr. George E. Haynes, Dr. C. H. Tobias, Dr. M. V. Boutte, Dr. J. E. Moorland, Dr. A. Lurtis, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Atty. C. T. A. French, Atty. Thomas B. Dyett, Dr Charles Lewis, Dr. Willis Cummings Dr. Charles H. Roberts and numerous others. Pilgrimage To Hunton Grave During the past few years the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity has held in connection with its annual conventions pilgrimages to the grave of some person whose life's work improved the lot of the Negro in America. This year a pilgrimage was made on Sunday morning, December 28th to the grave of William Hunton in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Brooklyn, N. Y., the first of his race to become an International Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The short memorial services which were held at the Hunton shrine included an address by Dr. C. H.Tobias, the present colored member of the International Y. M. C. A., and also an Honorary Member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, an original selection by the young poet, Contree Cullen of Eta Chapter of New York City, and a short address by Raymond Cannon, the National President of the fraternity. Present upon the occasion were the guests of honor, Mrs. William Hunton, wife of the late International Secretary, his son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Lisle C. Carter, who were escorted on the pilgrimage by Norman L. McGhee, National Secretary of the fraternity. Also present on the occasion was Mr. Morse, nephew of Samuel F. B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph system, who was a member of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. when Mr. Hunton was called to duty in his important relationship with the Y. M. C. A. work. Some 500 and more members of the fraternity and visitors were also present. Simeon S. Booker Secretary of the Baltimore Branch Y. M. C. A. and a former National President of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity was Master of Ceremonies upon this occasion, which proved to be a most inspiring one. Public Session Sunday evening a public session of the convention was held a the Abysinian Baptist Church at which time an address was delivered by Mr. Emory B. Smith, Field and Alumni Secretary of Howard University, and a member of the fraternity. The public session program also included invocation by Rev. M. L. Shepard of Eta Chapter and Assistant Pastor of the Abysinian Baptist Church a welcome If Yo. Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened ing address by Dr. A. Clayton Powell, of Eta Chapter and Pastor of the Abyssinia Baptist Church, a selection by Mrs. J. H. Eckles, and an address by Raymond W.

When lab or is plentiful Real Estate will go high- Members And Friends Told Open House A unique feature of the Sunday program was the holding of 'open house b yarious brothers residing in New York City, to receive members and visiting friends in an informal way. The members of the fraternity holding their homes open on this occasion were Dr. P. F. Anderson, Rev. Shelton Bishop, Dr. Leo Fitz Nearon, Dr. Godfrey Nnrse, Dr. Charles Roberts, and Dr. E. P. Roberts. Dr. Eutchins Bishop, Pastor of St. Phillips Episcopal Church, although not a member of the fraternity held his home open to receive the members and friends of the fraternity. Dr. E. P. Roberts Delivers Annual Fraternal Address Each year during the sessions a special place is allotted on the program for the annual fraternal address which is delivered by some outstanding member of the fraternity. Dr. E. P. Roberts, Honorary member of Fta Chapter, was assigned to this special duty on the program for the Seventeenth Annual Convention. Dr. Robert's address was spoken of as one of the constructive influences of the sessions. He marked out with amazing clarity and directness of the serious purpose of the organization and the definite and constructive work expected of the delegates. Social Evnts Of Convention Among the various other events which took place during the days the convention was in session included the smoker at the Eta Chapter House on Saturday evening, reception on Monday evening at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, N.Y., by the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and the annual formal dance to delegates and visiting friends of the fraternity held at Renaissance Casino, New York. City on Tuesday evening, and the reception given by the Alpha Gappa Alpha Sorority of New York City on New Year's day evening at the International House on Riverside Drive. Officers For 1925 Election of officers for the year 1925 was held Wednesday afternoon, December 31st at the closing session of the convention. Raymond W. Cannon, National President, James W. McGregor, Western Vice President, Norman L. McGhee, National Secretary, Dr. Homer Cooper, National Treasurer, and Oscar C. Brown, Editor of the official organ of the fraternity, were elected to their several offices. Dr. P. E. Anderson, President of Eta Chapter of New York City, was elected as Eastern Vice President and Charles W. Greene of Atlanta, Georgia, was elected to the newly established position of Southern Vice President, and James A. Scott of St. Lowell Mo., as Mid-Western Vice President. Go-to-High-School—Go-to-College Campaign To Be More Effectively Waged—Executive Council Authorized Among the important acts of legislation taken by the convention were the provision for an Executive Council composed of officers of the fraternity and three members at large, and the provision for a more effective conduct of the "Go-to-Hogh School—GoTo-College" campaign over which the National president, Raymond W. Cannon was named director, and Norman L. McGhee, the National Secretary, Assistant Director. This "Go-to-HighSchool—Go-to-College" campaign which has already been pronounced the most forward-looking movement ever inaugurated by a group of college students has come to be the "Raison detre" of the fraternity. The commendation it has received from President Coolidge, Secretary of Commerce Hoover, Governors of the leading commonwealths of the country and various educators of the country, and the constructive results secured during the past five years has definitely assigned to it a permanent place in the educational life of the Negro in America and for all others for that matter. Six More Chapters Authorized Other important legislation included the granting of applications for the establishment of some six graduate and undergraduate chapters of the fraternity. A resolution was passed approving the constructive work of the N.A.A.C.P., The National Urban League, the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A, and the Federal Council of Church- Detroit In 1925 The selection of a meeting place for each annual convention is always a cause of intense rivalry among the several chapters of the fraternity. This year there was a spirited contest between Detroit, Chicago, Louisville, Ky., and Atlanta, Georgia. The final vot enamed the site of Gamma-Lambda Chapter at Detroit, Mich., as the place where the Eighteenth Annual Convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity will be held, the dates being December 27th to Jint inclusive, 1925. In accordance with tradition the convention closed with the annual banquet which was addressed by Dr. William E. B. DuBois, an Honorary Member of the fraternity, with the singing of "Blest Be The Tie That Binds" as the ringing of bells announced the passing of the old year and the arrival of the new. M. DR. G. J.

NON-COMMISSION FUNERAL DIRECTORS EMBALMRES That is Why a Complete Funeral for $75. Other Funerals in Proportion. The Best Without Extravagance (For The Associated Negro Press) If we had to live the life of a powder puff, we should feel that all the known methods of suicide are inadquate. If we were told that some day we were going to change into a powder puff, we believe the information would be deadly. For certain death we should prefer that news to either dum-dum bullets or potassium cyanide. The only good powder puff is the unused powder puff. There is only one thing to be said for it—it gives more than it receives. But what is receives it keeps, and there's where the rub comes. A powder puff as we have seen them, is a "rattaggy", dirty circular pad used by girls and women to take the shine off their noses. Of course that is not though to be such a bad job. Shakespeare might have written that a woman's nose was sweet, but if he did, he was ignorant either of the science of noseology or of chemistry. A woman's nose is about as sweet as the end of a piece of missionary washing soap. The work of a powder puff is to give the noses of women respectability. The old folks said that sweat on the nose means meanness. By that token, most of these girls are not the angels the fellows call them. They have to keep powder puffs to hide their meanness. Of course the gals have a right to the dirt they rub into the puffs. It's their dirt. But why is it they never stop to think of how the puff they feel about it? I have seen puffs come out of the store bright and buffy, prepared for a wholesome happy existence. Two or three days later they have been as flat and delirious as a Silver Grill pancake. It's a wonder they stand up as well as they do our hats, are off to a twooone powder puff which can take in all the manness of a 150 pound woman. Compared with a powder puff, the life of a first rate mate on door or door is luxurious. Statisticians are at work compiling the number of deaths which result from the misused and abused nuff. Many men have become afraid to kiss in the dark. When a girl is ready to get rid of a sport, the nurses her nose, turns down the lights an then shoves her nose in his mouth and then breathes a sigh of satisfaction! Three days later she attends his funeral and tries to learn of the has a trust fund for her. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY By George Wells Parker Editor of The Children of The Sun Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere if of general interest and not too long, will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When space will not permit or the subject is not suitable, letters will be personally answered, subject to proper limitations, and when a stamped envelope is enclosed, Address all communications to George Wells Parker, The Associated Negro Press, 5123 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Copyright, 1924 by Associated Negro Press. Of what nationality was Abushag mother of King Solomon and the apostle, St. Peter?—G. W. T. Tarboro, N. C. The Hebrews are a people considerably mixed. Their color runs all the way from fair to jet black and wooly hair. In the Old Testament current among the Jews of Palestine, the illustrations show the kings and prophets to have been rather colored. Black Jews were common. In the Sons of Solomon, which has been attributed to that ruler, he calls, himself black. We know of no description of Peter the Apostle: but so many of the early Christians and church fathers were black that it would not be surprising if Peter were so. Did Lincoln and Harding have Negro blood?—W. L. H. Keokun, Iowa. Rumors to that effect that both Lincoln and Harding had colored blood have been current. During the war a German was arrested for publishing a book in which he claimed Lincoln was a Negro. We all recollect what the whispering galleries said of Harding. Exact data is difficult to obtain, but from the excitement which such claims have caused, one may retain their own opinion. SMIT NON-COM That is Why a Con 1311 CENTRAL AVE. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened I am writing a story laid in Africa, but do not know much about the country and the people. Would you kindly give me some information? E. M. D.—Omaha, Nebr. Africa is one of the largest continents and contains many tribes and nations. Your request would demand a whole library to answer. Would advise you not to write about countries of which you know nothing. When did Paul Lawrence Dunbar die?—A. D. V. Detroit, Mich. Dunbar was born at Dayton, Ohio, June 27, 1892, and died there February 9, 1906. Where and what was the temple of Philae?—T. T. F. Charleston, W. Va. The Temple of Philae is considered the most beautiful of all Egyptian temples. It was quite small in comparison to others, but really a work of art. It was located on an island of the Nile in Upper Egypt. What oracle of ancient times was it that a Negro woman was said to have founded?—P. L. J. Troy, N. Y. The oracle of Greece known as the Oracle of Delphi Herodotus mentions the legend and says that the woman was an Ethiopian. What language do the natives of Africa speak?—R. F. L. Duluth, Minn. Many. It is to be regretted that the American Negro knows so little of Africa. Among the English speaking Africans there are scores of scholars who have been educated in France and in England, and who are more highly educated that many of our own race in America. Many of them speak from three to ten different languages and are conversant with all phases of learning. Ger. hold of some of the newspapers from West Africa in the United States and read them. Some years ago an African author had published a number of short stories that were better than anything our own have done. He wrote under the pen name of "Creole." CONNER & JOHNSON CO. FUNERALS J. B.

Gregois Pastor Attending services on the second Sunday of the year was like going to some royal banquet: for, truly, all who were present enjoyed a real intellectual and spiritual feast. After a Sunday School meeting, marked by an appreciable increase in attendance and enthusiasm, the regular services of the morning were entered into under most auspicious amens. The Holy Spirit, bringing showers of blessing from on high, seemed to have been hovering over the scene from the very start. The musical numbers rendered by the choir, especially the beautiful solo sung by Miss Thelma Porter, went straight to the hearts and brought tears to the eyes of the listeners. The pastor was at his best. Speaking from the subject: "Numbered Hairs," he drove home the fact that God watches over His own, and takes care of those small details of our lives which we are wont to pass over as being insignificant. There were four accessions to the church. We were pleased to note that there were several new faces in the audience at the Christian Endeavor meeting. It was also gratifying to note that more young people were present than we have had at any meeting during the past two months. The very interesting discussion, which was opened on Sunday evening, January 4th was concluded at this meeting of the Endeavor, with several persons who were eager to express their opinions debarred from doing so, because of lack of time. This means that we must be on hand at 6 o'clock, if we would receive the full benefits to be derived from these meetings. Mrs. N. P. Greggs, the treasurer of the society was absent on account of illness, having been confined to her home. 1649 W. 37th St. since Wednesday, January 7th. Let us at least, carry or send a word of good cheer to our sick. The evening services, in spite of the fact that they were; not so well attended as those of the morning, were of the same high order, and no one regretted having been present. Come out and worship with us. THE LOS ANGELES FORUM Hon. J. W. Coleman held the Forum spell-bound for fifty-five minutes, last Sunday, January 19th. The Forum was packed to the entire door with the many spectators to hear the Hon. J. W. Coleman. Mr. Coleman has not only given employment to the many citizens of the county but also facts about their ancestors. His subject was The Final Analysis of The Negro in America. He starts from the primitive man to our present civilization. Also from Adam and Eve to the Hon. Fred M. Roberts, Editor Bass, and the Hon. Noah D. Thompson, member of the Editorial staff of the Evening Express. Mr. Coleman, also stresses his subject on the line of the future development of the Negroes in America, on social environments between individualism, public opinions, and the acts that are penalizing, stigmatizing, the characteristics of despotisms as a race of people in groups. Among those who participated on the program were Pop. Sanders, Master of ceremonies; reading by Mrs. Martin; Selection by Mr. C. Duell; Remarks, Hon. Thomas Norris; Selection Mrs. Haig; Reading, Master Ammons; Solo, Mrs. Steward; The Negro Woman, Mrs. Coleman; Introduction, Mr. Jas, Alexander; Principal speaker. Hon. J. W. Coleman. The president also asked if there is any one who would like to join the Forum stating that they could do so at that particular time. A great many responded by joining the organization. Next Sunday will be program day also, owing to the fact that the Charman of the program committee, had engaged some of the best speakers to discuss some of the most essential topics on the eNegro History. APOSTOLIC FAITH ASSEMBLY 1122 E. 33rd St. Elder F. I. Douglas, Pastor The Sunday School hour opens on time at 10 A. M. and is attended with much interest. At the morning service we were blessed through the message from our evangelist sister, speaking from Matt 9:13; 18:11-12; Luke 15:7. Her theme was 'The Lost Sheep'—The Seeking Lord, who came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. At 5:30 p. m. Elder Douglas spoke concerning the missionaries who are really out in the harvest fields away laboring to bring precious souls to Jesus. His message was very sympathetic and stirring, arousing the hearts and minds of God's people here in the homeland to remember those who are out in the heathern land seeking the lost; also a nice offering was taken at the close of this meeting. At 7:30 P. M. the Lord was magnified through his saints again and the pastor preached from 1 Sam. 2:2:1a. 52:1-3. He was appointed for the message as he exhorted the saints to arise from the dust and shake themselves and put on the beautiful garments. Request was made for those who wanted prayer and a number of persons desired to be drawn closer. Everyone is welcome at this assembly. Meeting nights: Tuesday, Wednesday day, Thursday. PASADENA By: W. MATT SOLOMON TOWN GOSSIPERS The most nauseating thing to be associated with in a community is a chronic gossiper. One who ferrets out to their own satisfaction things and affairs as they see them or want them to be. It is this class of individuals who are always the instigators of trivial remarks which grow as they are carried from one person to another and no two persons tell it alike. Only a recent occasion a rumor was circulated here by persons purported to be gossipers of the first water and from authentic information we learned the rumor was false. These gossipers are generally laden enough with their own burdens and we can't see that they have time enough to peddle other men's matters. DR. W. D. CARTER HERE Despite the many things that confronted him on the first day in the pastorate of Friendship Baptist Church Dr. Carter spoke from the subject. "What is expected of me as a pastor." He was greeted by a crowded house which he intensely interested during the whole of the service. The sermon was continued at the evening service where he with a great deal of enthusiasm brought to bear many of the fundamentals necessary for the success of any pastor in a new charge. We prophesy for him much success should he proceed along the line mapped out in his sermon. NO GROUND BREAKING Owing to the impossibility of being able to let the contract for the erection of the New Friendship Baptist Church on Dayton and Delacy Streets there will be no ground breaking. There will be, however, recognition services for the new pastor in the afternoon at the church, at which time Rev. W. D. Carter will be introduced to the public, making his debut as pastor of Friendship Baptist Church. All members of the churches of Los Angeles and vicinity are invited. An augmented choir under direction of Mrs. C. B. Hicks will sing. 0 — 00 — 00 Rev. McCorkle is preaching at the First A. M. E. Church every night this week. 0 — 00 — 00 The Tri-County Convention meets on January 21-22-23 at Riverside. A large and successful session is anticipated. Rev. W. C. Carter, Supt. of Negro Work was a visitor at Friendship, Sunday morning. An elegant chance is afforded the young girls of Pasadena to develop the spirit of unity through the agency of the Y. M. C. A. which organization is under the leadership of Mrs. Capt. Williams. Much time and effort are given by her in attempting to keep this group of girls together, but owing to the laxity of encouragement on the part of the parent the work lags a great deal. She would greatly appreciate an earnest endeavor on the part of the girls interested to entice others to participate in this move, that something worth while might be accomplished. WHERE ARE THEY For some time past we have been unable to locate the Lincoln League or any of its activities. We were much hoped up at the incipiency of this organization, expected them to inaugurate some reform and put them into execution whereby the public at large would know they stood for the making and maintaining of high ideals, but up to now nothing has been done. Judging from the lethergy displayed, one would think they were lost in the avalanche that usually sweeps away these "over-night" organizations immediately after "election" is over. It about time that something substantial should be done in Pasadena, but for these many years its the same old thing, "organize, organize, and that's all." yet we want political rights, who's going to ask for them. And besides all this, who's to be recognized. METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH-37th and Paloma Streets M. C. Carter, Pastor We were blessed with the gospel preached by our own pastor at both services. In the morning he took for his subject: "The Master's Program." Every possible thing of interest was brought out and each point proved to be of vital interest to all. To end this beautiful morning service a young man, Charles Williams was baptized immediately after the service. Everyone attending the evening service was also benefitted by the most fitting sermon preached by our pastor. He used for his text Matt. 5:9. "Blessed are the peace makers forthy shall be called the children of God." Both services were well attended. The public is invited to attend our B. Y. P. U. The lesson is taught by Rev. Wallace.

REAL ESTATE - FIRE INSURANCE NOTARY PUBLIC 1110 E. Washington HUmbolt 1540 the Colored Actors Union. Through interviews with the executive secretary, we know that the Actors Equity Society, and the Four A's have been open to them. Very few have joined. The Colored Actor's Union has pleaded for them. Either could provide the protection craved for in this respect, and assume many other battles for them or none could wage alone. (By James A. (Billboard Jackson (By The Associated Negro Press) In a recent exchange, one of the colored newspapers that maintains a theatrical department, we have read a lengthy article upon the complaint from the colored performers that they are dissatisfied with being required to do a midnight show, without, as their complaint stated, receiving any extra compensation for the extra performance. There is justice in their complaint; and it is one with an interesting history. Managers respond to tangible pressure, not to back door vaporings. It takes treasuries that can employ legal and other talent, numbers that can cripple a man's business and the courage to back these elements with intelligent action. When a show is stranded, the musicians have no trouble in collecting the irud; the stage hands and electricians are cared for before the lcs favored. The press agents are organized; and so are billposters and billers. Even the treasurers who handle the money are organized. And, they all pay direct dues to a central body that provides the protection that our performers long for in out-of-the-way places. Not once does it seem to occur to them to furnish their own means of defense. The performers really have them selves to blame for the imposition from which they suffer. While the original "Shuffle Along" was playing in Chicago, performers of the company brought the same matter to the attention of the Page in a round robin letter. Then another zime vaudevillians complained against a Sunday Midnight show in Philadelphia that either obliged them to miss the next week's work or to go to the new stand entirely rest broken from a performance that concluded in the early morning hours followed by a train ride, the anxieties attendant upon the transportation of the baggage and reporting to rehearsal with the orchestra all of which brought them just about to the hour of the opening performance without sleep and perhaps proper food. Why will people pay big sums for ridiculous publicity, and waste other large amounts on "big-timing" while they decline to spend a comparatively small sum to protect and improve their own condition. Performers again; we cry, wake up. DONAHUE BROS. MEAT MARKET These instances are typical of many that prevail in the business. The eradication of the evil rests with the performers. Newspapers cannot accomplish it for them, not even trade journals that reach the eyes of all the world, so long as the artist is too indifferent to his own welfare to take the obvious steps that almost everyone but him bag taken. 1309 E. 9TH STREET Wholesale and Retail—Restaurant Trade a Specialty The Negro performer is the only unprotected element of the show business.

OBITUARY Once more in our busy rounds of life we are gently reminded, that in the midst of life we are in death. Miss Virginia Hennem, daughter of Rev. W. H. Speese and wife, was born in Chicago, Ill., Oct. 26, 1969, departed in Los Angeles, Cal., January 10, 1925, Age 18y-15da. She was ever the brightest inspiration of our house and church, of which her father and mother, were pastor and laborers. Bright, witty, was in third year high school, a natural born musician, and conversationalist. We miss her, but heaven needed her. Before she passed she sang: "Gather at the River" "Jesus loves me, this I know for my bible tells me so." "Vale of Beahh." And bid all good bye. I am not afraid to go, grand pa, grand ma, and Jesus over there. Heaven won't be lonely. She passed in the full triumph of faith: leaving father, mother, Rev. J. H., F. D., Lois, and Paulina, sisters, uncles, ants, cousins and a host of friends to rejoice that such a sweet christian had come into their lives. soon for two years. Miss J. Fers also has the distinction of being the first colored girl to graduate from the California College of pharmacy. She has also studied vocal in the Oakland Conservatory of music where she received a certificate. While in Oakland Miss J. Fers has made a host of friends and is very popular among the youngest society girl. She is a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Alpha Sorority and the Lyceum. CLUB NEWS FEDERATED CLUB NEWS Mary E.

We notice the drafting of a child welfare bill at Sacramento this week. The object of the bill is to provide a closer co-operation between the State Board of Charities and Correction and county welfare agencies in the supervision of boarding homes and other institutions for children. --- We hope that in the drafting of this bill, that the law makers' attention will be drawn to the fact that many laws regarding child welfare in the State seem to even fail to recognize the presence of the Colored child entirely. We know of one case in particular of a fourteen year old Colored boy who has walked the streets of Los Angeles for more than a year without any settled place of abode. The school and probation authorities know of his predicament for we ourselves have reported the case, but to date nothing tangible has been done. Colored people pay taxes for the upkeep and support of public institutions, and "Taxation without representation" is just as tyrancal today as it was in George Washington's time. DISTRICT REPRESENTATION. We have a very fearful feeling of sentation and we advise you to neither until this matter of the deviding lines We have a very fearful feeling concerning District representation and we advise you to neither sleep nor procrastinate until this matter of the devising lines are settled.

The two outstanding institutions upon which the future of the race's development depends is the pulpit and the press, hence there can be no war waged between these forces. Of course the church has had a much longer period of development than the press. On the other hand the press has a larger and more cosmopolitan field of operation. But our main point is this: In dealing with the evils of the age in and out of the church, the pulpit and the press should be heartily in sympathy, one with the other. In reviewing the exchanges of the week we notice a battle between the "Louisville Ledger" and the "Broadway Temple," and a little further on we notice the record of a gun battle between pastor and members of the Mount Zion Baptist Church of Knoxville recorded on the first page of the "East Tennessee News." And now, with no small degree of trembling and fear we turn our focus on dear little old Los Angeles; our own sunny home town,—nothing definite brothers and sisters, just a wee bit of rumbling coming up from different quarters of church-dom But we will say this and conclude: If a man is truly God's servant and the object of his preaching is to honor Christ in seeking the eternal salvation of souls, the very minute that he finds that his influence, as a Christian, is waning and that he is no longer the choice of all the people, he should, still trusting in the God who promised never to forsake, pass on to another field, greener with the Master's need for service. Not only should the newspaper make a fight against preachers who have not the moral stamina that the community asks for, but also ministers, whose selfish needs and desires have been cultivated, instead of being modified by the Christ in their lives that stands for unselfishness and sacrifice for His name's sake. "UNITE" IS OUR SLOGAN. The Negroes of Southern California effort to fight prejudice and "Jim Cr been said over and over again, that fighting each other, but we are goin stop the fight, one toward the other at that we have a common cause and the The Negroes of Southern California should unite in their effort to fight prejudice and "Jim Crow" in the State. It has been said over and over again, that we waste too much time fighting each other, but we are going to say it again, let us stop the fight, one toward the other and realize as never before that we have a common cause and that cause is to maintain our citizenship rights in the State of California. There are Negroes in our midst who would spend three hundred dollars willingly for one night's pleasure; next day enter some public place and be pointedly refused service on the ground that the proprietor did not serve Colored people, but would not even trouble themselves to the extent of using the weapon in the California Code which pronouncedly states that there will be a minimum charge of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) against any person or firm who or which so discriminates against a person on account of race or color. It is alright to have pleasure, but this pleasure that keeps you pouring sheckles into the white man's coffers for the rent of his halls, his shabby evening dress suits filled with germs that often poison you, the use of his ice cream and other delicacies, which you enjoy should certainly come in for an evening of serious consideration once in a while. 1925 wants an ice cream factory, a large shoe store, a steam laundry, a bigger and better print shop—and above all, hearty co-operation among business folk of our group. Now, who's ready! Hot air and night after night of deliberation will not turn the trick; consistent effort, action, action, correling of cash is what we need along with confidence in one another. WE are watching with interest the question of district representation, which, according to a recent decision of the California Supreme Court, this city is soon to have. This is a thing of vital moment to the Race. WE have our eyes on the methods of re-districting the assembly and senatorial districts of the state. Shall there be "gerrymandering" out of our political interests? Watch it folks! It is worth a vigilant eye. ALMA WETTAKER belongs to that class of white judges who are forever throwing dust into the eyes of our people by a few ill-ballanced phrases of compliment and flattery, a 'thing which tends to divert us from pursuing the solid and durable methods of achievement. Like so many one-sided theorists, bereft of ample information and experience upon which to base their conclusions, she passes judgment. We are not here attempting an analysis of her sweeping inspiration derived from a Negro church service which she attended in this city last Sunday and her impressions of which she recorded with such enthusiasm in last Monday's Times. It is sufficient to say that, we think as much of it as we do of a similar effort of hers nearly two years ago when she endeavored to flatter us into-believing that noise should be accepted as an expression of spiritual fervor and a kindergarten reputation of the scriptural background of a text as a mark of the qualified scholar and theologian. We are Negroes ourselves, and would be the last to oppose the well-founded compliments of white critics to any within our own group, but we are here to say at once that the man who lives within the immediate family circle and night knows more about its strength and weaknesses than the visitor who merely peeps and pops in every two or three years. NOR do we appreciate that kind of compliment which is sublime in one breath and ridiculous in another. Why should our little children be described as "tiny piccanninies?" We suspect that Alma Whitaker would not regard our compliments of her writings as very sincere if, each time we presented her literary picture we said some glowing things in one breath and deserved to the cheap and humorous in another. WE are listening for the rustling of the new leaves which have been turned over for the New Year. God grant that those that are worthy will remain to be rea dand followed with inspiration and profit. But remember what we said two weeks ago! First examine the old leaf before moving to the new! ASTHMA M. DR. V. C. HAMILTON The term asthma which means panting, is well known to the laity some of whom are sufferers from this disease themselves and a great many others have seen the agonies of sufferers. During an attack of asthma the patient is in great distress, and usually feels as if he or she is about to lay dawn the activities of life forever. Great difficulty is experienced in breathing not so much in inspiring but in expiring the inspired air, hence after taking a breath and the chest is expanded the air becomes imprisoned as it were in the air cells of the lungs due to a spasm of the muscles of the small bronchioles and the unfortunate victims feel as though they are being smothered. During an attack a great deal can be done to relieve the patient, but if between attacks many of these people will present themselves for the proper study and examination the cause may be discovered. The cause of asthma has been found so far to be due to a certain reactinon closely allied to "Anaphylaxis" a term used to express an unnatural sensitization. In asthma and incidentally also Hay Fever the condition is referred to as an "Allergic reaction". These individuals are peculiar in that they are particularly sensitive to certain substance es with which they occasionally come in contact. The substances evidently induce in them the production of toxic or poisonous material that acts so as to produce a spasm of the small muscles of the bronchioles thus decreasing the power to expel inspired air. There is a long list of substances that various people are sensitive to. Some are sensitive to pollen of certain plants, so that merely smelling a certain flower or coming in contact with scattered particles of wind borne pollen will be enough to produce an attack. Others are sensitive to certain types of foods usually of a protein nature. Certain types of bacteria are also responsible for this sensitization. Many of the proteins to which people are sensitive can be discovered if they will seek medical aid and take the proper tests to discover the offending article. When they are aware of the plant, pollen, food, etc., to which they are sensitive it is a simple problem to keep away from it; or take a course treatment that will immunize them against that substance.

In the building of the sanctuary in the wilderness God was pleased to show us His way of doing things. When the idea of building a tabernacle arose then arose the problem of ways and means. He setted that here and held to it all the way thru the Bible. We will consider the matter under in following heads: I. Needs. II. Gifts. III. The Willing Mind - The Spirit's Work. IV. Spirit filled leaders. V. Willing Workers. May the Spirit of Holiness (Ro. 1:4) show us the truth as God would have us know it. And He will, for it is promised that when He the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide us into all truth. John 16:12-15. Let us then soberly and truthfully consider— I. The Need. God Has a dwelling place. The heaven was His throne and the earth was His footstool. He there- fore needed no home. He made the cloud His chariot and rode upon the wings of the wind. The thick darkness was His pavilion. And in the glorious majesty of His omnipresence the heaven and the heaven of heavens could not contain Him. But if He was to go up among His people as their God and their leader He must needs have a tabernacle where at and by which they could draw nigh to Him and be instructed and guided and helped. Matters had to be so arranged by which a saintful and stiff necked people coul dbe so humbled and purified and sanctified that they could draw nigh to a Holy God and worship Him and learn of Him. For this sanctuary the materials had to be furnished by the people. God does great things for us, then allows-us to do great things for Him. There is the human side, the side of human obliteration, of human debt, of human privilege to religion. God was, Israel's light and hope an guide and protection, but if they wanted Him to be with them and go with them and forgive their sins and sanctify them by His presence and make them strong against their foes they had to provide Him a tent. So later, when as their Messiah, He manifests Himself in the flesh, he tribe of Judah and the bouse or David must provide him a virgin mother and a Joseph willing by faith to be a reputed father and all that pertains to essential human existence. He could not save us merely as an invisible God, nor yet as an angel with the powers of a harlequin. He had to come as we should, live as we live, (Heb. 1 and 2)' suffer as we suffer (I Pet. 4) take our infirmities and bear them, and carry our sorrows. There is the human side, the human privilege, the human obligation. The need. God needed a tent. The need. God needed a tent. Now the tent of God was built after an expensive pattern. The story of this matter is told us in Exodus 25th to 40th chapters. The plan was given to Moses and executed under his direction by Bezaleel and Aholiab, of whom we shall speak later. Now as I said, this was a costly Now as I said, this was a costly structure. They needed rams' skins. badger skins, fine linen, gold, silver brass or bronze, and acacia wood. The sockets of the tent, all of them were of silver; solid masses of the precious metal. The candlestick itself was a talent or gold, $20,000 worth of gold. The Brazen Sea was not made of common brass but of a highly polished substance used in Egypt as women's looking glasses. This sea was a great, fine shining metal pot, holding a great many gallons of water. There was the golden altar, a sort of incense table of gold. The cherubim and mercy seat were made of gold. There was a talent of gold, about $20,000 worth in the cherubim. Indeed the cost, of the structure approximate three millions of dollars. II. Gifts. All this expense the people had to meet. All these needed things they must furnish. They were not taxed for it. They did not beg for it. Moses simply let the people know he needed it and they willingly brought it. That is God's way, the free will offering, the unforced gift, Praisda the Lord. To make the church a common street beggar in the world is not God's plan and is intensely humiliating to the Saviour. We read that the people brought of their substance till he workers had more than they needed, and had to stop the people from bringing more. This mind you was not tithes, but a free will offering to build God a place among His people. Nor was it just a place for Moses to preach and Aaron to hold prayer meeting. It was a place where God met with His people, and where they became recrucled to Him, learned of Him and worshiped Him. But the people gave swillingly of their substance more than was needed. That is the point. And this was not the common tithes and offerings whereby the priests lived and the worship of God was sustained. But what accounts for this excess of gifts this wonderful liberality on the part of a people just out of slavery and personally poor? III. The Willing Mind. There is nothin good too hard for us and no godly task too great when we have the willing mind. For with the willing mind faith works, and to faith all things are possible. Said the Savior, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth". Mark 9-23 The Willing Mind. When the temule was to be rebuilt under Zenibabel, and the walls of Jerusalem under Nehemiah, nothing much could be done till the people were given a mind to work, a willing mind. But whence comes the willing mind? It come from the Holy Spirit. God's spirit always puts willingness of mind in His people when there are sacrifices to be made and when there is work to be done. It is God that worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Phil. 2:1-13. God has no pleasure in that which is done in His name, if it be done just to out do some one else or get ta name. He would far rather have us sincere, and true, into w eworship in a bush arbor, or a ducking tent, or a slab house. The mind, the pure mind, the holy mind, the willing mind, the mind that is so true and willing that it is anxious to dosomething for God's sake, that is the mind that pleases and glorifies God. IV. Spiritfilled Leaders. In Exodus 35:30 we read: "And Moses said un to the children of Israel, See, Jehovah hath called by name Bezelal the son of Uri, tb eson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; and he hath filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom, in under standing, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, and to devise skillful works, to work in gold and in silver and in brass, and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood to work, in all manner of skillful workmanship. And He hath put it in his heart that he may teach, both he and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. Then hath he filled with wisdom of heart to work all manner of workmanship etc. R. V. We see here something about the filling of the Spirit. It is not a mere religious drunkenness, which takes our senses from us and sends us screaming and raving and shaking, tha at times He may full us with such joy as that we shall want to cry out and shout. Isa. 12. Acts. But the Spirit gives wisdom, wisdom to lead, wisdom to do. He adds clarity to the mind, courage to the heart, determination to the soul, fire and zeal to the spirit. Notice too, the Holy Spirit's way about leaders. He sends them two and two, but makes one the leader of the other. Moses and Aaron with Moses as the leadle. Bezaleel and Alsolai, with Bezaleel as leader. Barnabus and Saul with Saul as leader. Peter and John with Peter as leader. Yet each man is a chosen vessel holy and beloved with an indispensable work of his own to do. God's ways are wise and right. Two are better than one, even in leadership, and a three-fold cord is not easily broken. V. Willing Workers. In Exodus 30:1-3. we read: "Then wrought Bealeeal and Aholab, and every wisehearted man, in whom the Lord put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of ork for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the Lord had commanded. And Moses called Bealeeal and Aholiab and every wise headed man, in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, and every one whose heart stirred him up, to come one to the work to do it; and they received of Moses all the offerings every morning." Here we see nfen whpm God had given wise and willing hearts, working under the direction of the Spirit-ointed and Spirit-filled Bezeal, accomplishing the will of God in the erection of the sanctuary, the work was gloriously done by willing givers and willing workers. We read too, in Exodus 35:25, "And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands and brought the twitch the 7s had "sun" the twicken they had spin" Wise and willing hearts made def and willing hands. It is always so. So God says, "My son, meaning daugh- ter as well" give me chine heart", Pro. 23:26. There is yet work to be done for God. The building of the great sanctu- ary of the church is yet going on. We are builders, we are workers together with God. The gospel must be preached, souls must be saved meet- ing houses must be built; the sick must be healed; the afflicted and the needy cared for; houses erected for worship; schools built; children taught; workers trained; sin overcome. We are workers together with God. He needs thy wise and willing heart and mine. He needs thy time willing given and the willing labor of thy hands, and mine. Shall He have them? Will we fail Him, or will we say "Here am I; send me." Look up, hum ble, willing, devoted, surrendered "Here am I send me." Then wait on Him. He has work for you to do. And He will pay you well. Amen. MRS. TIBBS DEAD Mrs. Geneva Tibbs, colored, died at 12:45 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lucille Bynum, 1223 Iowa street, Davenport, Iowa.

Burleigh Jubilee Seven who appeared at Phillips Chapel Temple C. M. Church on last Monday evening was indeed a treat. One of the best musical programs that has been presented; pure harmony and rare technique. The individual toes blended with lucid sweetness. Mrs. H. E. Norwood with her pleasing, charming personality, has made a record as a singer with rare ability of range, volume and sweetness. Mrs. Norwood captured her audience when she brought forth a dramatic reading. The Soul of the Violin, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Obelia E. Teel, the great violin imitator. She responded the second time to a pleasing and appreciative audience. Mrs. Ada Stewart brought forth much laughter when she recited "The Party" from Dunbar. It was very pleasing. Madam Outley, the renowned, in her sweet and pleasing way gave a dialect reading. Marandy at the Phone," which was so enjoyed that she was forced to give two more. Mrs. Obelia Teel so sweetly appeared with a solo by request, "Ol Carliina;" its sweet echoes floated over Phillips Temple. Mr. Charles Boston, tenor, with his soft and melodious voice charmed the audience with a beautiful solo; he was forced to give a second number. Then he and his wife rendered "Whispering Hope." Mr. Barnes, that great bass soloist, with his pleasing personality, rendered "Old Black Joe;" there was much harmony. Mr. Arnold who sang "Asleep in the Deep" with his basso voce was very much appreciated. Mrs. Norwood wishes to thank all who assisted her in any way on last Monday evening. Too much praise cannot be given Mrs. Norwood for the splendid work she has done and is doing for Phillips Temple C. M. E. Church. TID-BITS TID-BITS (By The Associated Negro Press) It is reported that when the raisers of silkworms go up to Weisun, the sacred mountain, here, for the feast of pure brightness season, they put the eggs into their clothing so that the worms may make the assent with them. Silkworm rafters are very superstitious in this part of the country and this is done to bring good luck to the cocoons. Strangers going through the country where the mulberry trees grow are asked to refrain from conversation because the silkworms might be excited or agitated by the sound of foreigners at hand. The worms are carefully guarded against all noise, worm keepers being so careful and alst so superstitious as to announce the arrival of travellers to the silkworms. If this custom is not observed and anybody comes to the town making any noise, or is not announced, the raisers of the silkworms become very angry. The travelers receive scant courtesy and are driven out of the town with curses. In 1895 the Negro population of Rochester, N. Y., was 900, and only six men and women could read or write. Noted Soprano To Be Heard At Historic 8th And Towne A. M. E. Church Next Sunday morning January 18, Mme. Bertha' Dickerson-Tyroe, dramatic soprano of Chicago, Ill., and the most brilliant and sensational soprano Los Angeles has ever received, will sing to what will most likely be her largest and most interesting audience of the race in this city. Madam Tyroe is being presented by the Dramatic League of this church which purports doing large and splendid things this Spring. All should avail themselves of this opportunity, as this will probably be the last appearance for us while here. Mrs. Maude Rosemond-waatson will accompany Madam Tyroe on the piano. Come early and get a good seat. My dear Mr. N. D. Thompson:— A most interesting item in this week's California Eagle, concerning your standing as an authority on Race matters would be amusing as a proof of a "City Editors" ignorance, if it did not bear the earmarks of malice, be it personal, political or otherwise. You know of my own interest in the welfare of, and justice for your people, to which I gladly add at this time a word of sinners respect, due you and your service to your people. Jealousy alone could have induced the stirrup; malicious jealousy, at that. But dear Mr. Thompson, in a case like that, you may justly say: "Thank God for the enemies I have made." The late, I wish you still greater success in the New Year and if enemies MUST come, may they be of a more acceptable type. (Signed) JULIUS C. HEHNKE.

BAN ON MIXED BOUTS NEW PLAYERS BEING IMPORTED TO STRENGTHEN ST. LOUIS GIANTS Hurley McNair, K. C. Outfielder, Wells And Goodrich, Big Leaguers New Additions When the St. Louis Giants trot out upon the Goodyear turf next Saturday and Sunday to battle Barry's Classy hatters, they will have a lineup of athletes that will make the Giants as formidable an aggregation as that which opened the season last October. NEW PLAYERS HAVE CLASS Hurley McNair the property of the Kansas City Monarchs will appear in a St. Louis uniform and hold down an outfield berth. McNair's sensational fielding and hard hitting will be a great help to the Giants. To fill Russell's place at shortstop. Manager L. N. S. Cobb has sent transportation to Wells who is playing and wintering in Texas. Wells is the regular St. Louis shortstop during the National Negro League season. On the same train with Wells, will be Goodrich another St. Louis regular infielder. With the above additions and the remaining cripples in the Giant lineup getting over their injuries the Goodyear players should be in championship form very soon.

Murray and Russell left for home during the week and substitute infielders held down second and third. Ward worked at the hot corner and Ree eat second base. Both worked as the they had played those positions for years and the loss of the game could not be blamed on their fielding. Curley and Ross started in the outfield and when Gurley relieved Fred Bell from pitching in the second inning, Fred Bell went to the outfield. GURLEY RIGHT During the seven and one-third inning that Gurley worked he only allowed the Merchants two scratch hits. The Giants simply beat themselves by taking undue chances on bases and being thrown out by accurate Pasadena arms.

California has always been a free state with never a segregation law written into the statutes of the state that would deny Black Americans any rights of citizenship as clearly defined by the Constitution of the United States of America. It is indeed surprising that you who fought in France in the great war for "Democracy" would attempt to set up a law that would prohibit America's or California's Black sons from reaping the full benefits that the skill of their profession may entitle them to. You have told Black Citizens to their faces in your frank way and also announced it in the public press that black and white boxers shall not meet in boxing contests in the state of California. There is nothing in the new boxing law as adopted by the voters of the State of California that gives you the right to take the action that you have. Not only are you going against the wishes of the voters of the free state of California, but you are depriving Black Americans of the right to earn a fair living at their chosen profession, an act that could almost be classed as criminal.

JIMMIE SMITH WHITE SOX AND HANNAH'S TIGERS AT 38TH & ASCOT BALL PARK Now that the White Sox have beaten on the King Soapers in a three game series just concluded, the question is can they repeat the dose to "Hard Hearted" Hannah's Tigers. The Tigers have been the jinx team for the Sox all season but the way they are playing now it takes more than a jinx to beat them. The Tigers are composed mostly of Vernon players who are anxious to pull the Sox down from the leadership of the Professional Winter League. Captain Hawkins announces to the world that all of his players are in good shape and that he will start, Drake, Bell and Curry against the best that Hannah can put no the mound. MOORE HAS NEW SUIT "Dobie" Moore is sporting a new suit that is attracting plenty of attention along the Avenue. Last Sunday Moore hit the diamond on the Diamond Tailoring Company's sign on the White Sox fence, thereby winning for himself a new tailor made suit. George Corr the home run king of the Sox claims that he is going to be th enext player to earn a suit. Most of George's hits have been going over the fence so he will have to pull his blows a little. GAME SATURDAY AND DOUBLE HEADER SUNDAY As has been the custom for some weeks the Sox will play one game Saturday with ladies admitted free, and a double header Sunday. The Saturday game will be called at 2:30 and the first Sunday game at 1:00 P. M., with the second game following ten minutes after the completion of the first.

Boxing patrons, promoters, managers, referees in fact every one who has the good of boxing at heart is condemning the action of Commissioner Strellinger. The fact that Victor Alexander engaged a mixed boat under the law at San Diego and no announcement has come from the north to support Strellinger's action, makes it appear that the commissioner has drawn the line without consulting the other two commissioners who live respectively in Sacramento and San Diego. DELEGATION TO ATTEND MEETING Wednesday night a delegation that included, Watson Burns, J. B. Bass, James Akers, and Messrs. Cox, Lamar and Moore, left for Sacramento to attend the first regular meeting of the new boxing Commission. Armed with letters of protest from prominent citizens, the above gentlemen will start a fight to have the ruling of the Commission reversed. The matter is also brought to the attention of Senator Pedrotti and Assemblyman Roberts. Both of these lawmakers from Los Angeles will be asked to give whatever aid they can. am-RIGHT * : tf You Fill To Read —THE CALIFORNIA EACLE You May Neva Know Tt Happened «_ 7 Nsomentss- : TON 8:7 RS Pramas.

Prepare New Colored Show For Broadway the big declaration that the showman and performer are to be given more consideration in the seats of learning, in the centers of culture, and the his- tory of Race achievement. Secretary Albon Holsey, in a lengthy interview in the Biltboard: office recently set forth a plan for a pageant of histeric history that will be a feature at Tus- kegee this winter. The episodes and characterizations depicted will be ex- plained by the dramatic director and their bearing upon Race history and value to our progress outlined to the students. The script will be available to other schools to the end that the Race performers will be encouraged to continue ther narmonious work and become even better and more useful instruments of culture and har- mony. It’s a great move. (By J. A. (Billboard) Jackson) New York, N. Y., Jan. 10.—Last| week Flournoy Miller spent a day in the city, jumping in from “Running Wild” which he left for a tew brief hours with his family as th eshow jumped from a New England stand to the Majestic theatre, Buffalo where se opened @ week's engagement on Jan- wary 5th. While i town, he took oc- ‘aston to look over a performance of a. ‘show fii which he fs interested as the author. Between acts, he discussed the work of the company wih ite star and stage manager. It happened that fae Page wae present anc urged to remain. This is part of what he said: “Nothing but the best that is in everyone will do. If they can’t work together, can't cooperate to give a satisfactory gntertainment, then one or both should be let go. Don't hold, people who are obstinate, who place ‘their personal preferences or dislikes above their work .You can't afford it. even if it should be your best friend. Tt 1s not your show. It is not the prop- erty of your manager nor yet mine. No not the owner's show. it belongs to the public that pays for éach per- formance. The rest of us are mere in- struments. When the public quits rez- istering approval of the show at the box office, this or any other show is done. A show can’t live on reputation Every performer and every perform- ance mut be the best. 1 wouldn't let my own brother get away from that standard in @ show in which I am con- cerned.” That speech told a lot. It explains most vividly why the author and star of “Shuffle Along,” “Runnings Wild” and a number of preceding things has been a success. More Fluornoy types of mind will mean more pro- gress for the show business, and that Koes for the whole business. Edward Jobnson, known the show world over as Black Carl”, one time magician, but of late years connected with, the’ Dasinens end of the shows, remained in town when “Running Wild” resumed its read tour on Christ mas day. He had been on ihe front with Miller and Lyles attractions for several years and is reputed.to be the best informed Negro who has evér funetioned in that manner. ‘He has assumed the managemcnt of the Dressing Room Club. Already there is avery noticeable t-viral of interest at the 131 Street club house. * Dropped by the Lincoln Theatre on Saturday at matinee time and found the audience jammed right back to the street doors enjoying most thoroly the second week of Drake and Wal. ker’s| Bombay Girls". It is remarka- ble how, this show continues: io draw Drake certainly knows how to gauge the desires of his audiences. Learned at the time that Mrs. Mary Dons owner of the theatre was obliged t wo under the medical treatment for @ nervous breakdown on New Year's day. While we are deeply sorry for her, we can uuderstaad =the cause leading up to it.

Wo have at least been able to see an approximately perfect Nero monthly maga-iue. The Joauary num- ber of The Messenger, a spec:al theat- Theal edition, .has come to our desk. It is a work of art that will challenge comparison with any publication js- sued in America. It is 80 pages of «lig- nified presentation of the story of Ne- gro. progress. Chandler Owen and A. Phillip Randolph, its editors, have pre- sented a profusely illustrated journal with a dozen special articles by men who know whereof they write, includ- ing a story by “The Page”. | Other contributors are Otto H. Kahn, Alan Dale ,Eugene O'Neill, The-| ophilus Lewis, George S. Schuyler and | J. A.

To be worth wile a thing has to be practical, it is to work. é A young man had to adopt some sort of a policy of treating hig « low- men. If this policy seems’ wort it is called religion. Some religion is «ork, others should always be in the ‘pair ‘shop. My advice to a young min is ‘that the most important thicg t's he ‘can do next to finding his job is life, 18 to build a religion that work: one that he can use in his dafly life For that’s what ethics and morals ar for, for USE. : The only reason I care witat a fel low believes, is that what he DOES is pretty definitely influenced by what he believes. I suggest that as the tirst part of this plan that ae build « be- lief in God. Notice 1 did nor say “ac- cept” I said “build”. A hoy who tuinks the thing through has a ‘nuch jiner conception of the Creavor than a hay who simply accepts. I am sure that any boy who is willing to think, will have to believe that ons world and its laws of nature wera created Things like those can’t “just happen”.
