RICHARDSON Governor of the State of California. NORMAN O. HOUSTON JOINS GOLDEN STATE STAFF The Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company is pleased to announce that Mr. Norman O. Houston, one of the original organizers of the company is now devoting his full time to complete the organization of this life insurance company. Mr. Houston was born in San Jose, Calif. He attended the public schools of Oakland and the college of commerce of the University of California at Berkeley. During the World War he served as a lieutenant in the Headquarters of the 217 in Ammunition Train, acting as Regimental Personnel Adjutant. After his discharge from the army he worked in E. E. Potters & Lous Insurance Office in San Francisco and came to Los Angeles as local representative of a railroad insurance company. Later he acted as Superintendent of the American Mutual Benefit Association during which time he graduated with distinction from the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company's School for Salesmen. Several flattering offers have been made to him by Eastern Insurance Companies but he prefers to stay in Los Angeles and help develop business in this section. Mr. Houston is a Director and was one of the organizers of the Liberty Building-Loan Association, which has just completed its first year of successful business. He is a Past Commander of Benj. Bowie Post American Legion and is now a member of the City and County Inter Post Councils of that organization. He claims that California will be proud of this life insurance company with home offices in Los Angeles. It is incorporated under the Laws of California with a Guarantee Fund to BERRY BROTHERS IN CAST OF KIDDIES MINSTRELS AT LABOR TEMPLE One of the sure fire hits of the Kiddies Minstrel is the team of James and Anantas Berry. These two lads have probably had more professional experience than any of the c' ever children appearing in the Kid fun show. They are both well known at the moving picture studios where James is known as "Bubbles." Their most recent appearance was "Kentucky Sue," the musical comedy. Lauretta Butler the directress of the Minstrel has announced that the show will be given for one night only, Monday, May 11th at the Labor Temple. Because of the excellence of former performances it is a certainty that the Temple will be sold out. L. A. ATTORNEY DIES SUDDENLY L. A. ATTORNEY DIES SUDDENLY By: L. O. Campbell Leroy D. Barnett, one of Los Angeles' most prominent and successful attorneys succumbed to an attack of acute indigestion last Friday night, May 1st, at 1:15 after a brief illness of a day. Barnett was born February 25, 1884 in Jamesville, Ohio, where he received his first years of schooling. He then entered Dennison's University in Grandville, where he took a proms and began entering Ohio State University, from which he graduated in the summer of 1910. He came to Los Angeles, Nov. 11, 1910 where he started practicing law. Barnett married Miss Emma Davis September 5, 1911 in Detroit, Michigan returning immediately to his practice where he has made rapid strides to success. His last and greatest success was accomplisher Thursday April 30th, the day before his death when he succeeded in taking Judge Georgia Bullock to a scene of arrest at 23rd and Griffith to show proof against arresting officers. The judge rendering her decision there on the scene in favor of defendant. This act in itself was a success in as much as possible, and the first reign of terror that a few petty offenses have been creating in the East side which is not only a discredit to them but demoralizing to the whole police Department. We the colored citizens of Los Angeles feel that we have lost our most progressive and influential attorney. We need more men like Leroy D. be deposited with the State Treasurer. It is a mutual company in as much as it shares its profits with its policy holders, there being no capital stock-holders. A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL Barnett, unassuming and humble in his greatness. At the time of his death he had offices in the Canadian Blg. and resided at S. Normandie Avenue. He was an only son of Mrs. James E. Jackson, 2141 S. Santee Street, to whom he was very devoted and a wife Mrs. Emma Barnett who is very prominent socially and a host of friends to mourn his loss. W. H.(POP) SANDERS, THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE CRYER'S COLORED FORCES SAY: The election is over now; let us all get together and help make Los Angeles what it should be—the best place on earth to live in, and remember the greatest virtue one can possess is to forget that you ever had anything to forgive from the other few. (Pop) Sanders has played the bame of politics for the past 40 years or more. His success is due to the fact that he is noted for his charity, which is done in a very unobtrusive fashion. The poor of his district are well taken care of, and no deserving person ever applies to (Pop) and goes away empty handed. His political wisdom deserves to be kept fresh in a book of many editions, as an aid to reformers and a beacon light to the feet of the bothered average citizen, who tries in vain to stumble through the mazes of our American political system. The world is his educator; to do good his religion. In behalf of the "Cryer for Mayor" Campaign Committee, we thank you for your loyal support. With malice toward none, and a great love for you all— Curtains. We thank you, H. DOUGLAS GREER. CLAUDE E. McKINNEY. E. L. CHEW, 5th Dist. JAS. M. VENA, 12th Dist. THOMAS W. MILES, 9th Dist. FRED LUCAS, 8th Dist. Head Of. Liberty Life Insurance Co. Dies Head Of. Liberty Life Insurance Co. Dies (Associated Negro Press News) Editor's Note—In the field of Insurance, Colored America, has made amazing strides, in the last fifteen years. Insurance, itself, is practically a new field, and there are those even now, who are prejudiced against an insurance policy, just as there are all the nurses who are afraid to go to a hospital. Who are afraid to In the we have gone forward. There have been ups and downs, but, fortunately, far more ups than downs. In the early days, such of us who, carried insurances, carried them with white IN·APPRECIATION MAYOR CRYER—RE-ELECTED AT PRIMARIES companies. Then a small group, of our own insurance companies were formed in the South, and many have prospered. The field has not only given wide protection but opportunity for employment to our men and women. Followed the migration, and the vision of an Old Line Company came to Frank L. Gillespie, of Chicago, who founded the Liberty Life Insurance Company. Results prove his vision was justified adequately. His timely death removes an eminent figure in the Insurance World, a loyal man of the race and a valued citizen of the city of Chicago—a man who believed in young people. Chicago, Ill., May 5.—The city of Chicago was shocked at half past twelve Friday afternoon when the news was cried out that Frank L. Gillespie, founder and president of the Liberty Life Insurance Company of Illinois, had succumbed at his residence, 4524 Grand Bouievard, to an attack of hemorrhage. He had been ailing slightly, but not enough to give the slightest suspicion that his end was near. He is survived by his wife and two children, a boy of 20 and a girl of 17. IN-APPR MAYOR CRYER—RE-EL Mr. J. B. BASS, Editor California Eagle Loo Angeles, California. My Dear Mr. Bass: I wish to express thanks to the voters in the city for their loyal support they gave to our present Mayor for his re-election. We feel that we have scored a splendid victory by re-electing Mayor Cryer to succeed himself. With the vote that we have given him, it will, no doubt, be appreciated, because we have voted practically 4 to 1 in his favor. We know that President Coolidge and our beloved Senator, Samuel M. Shortridge will feel honored in having California elect a staunch Republican who will be in o__ce for the next four years instead of a Democrat. We have some great problems to face in the coming legislature in Washington, and, no doubt, our Mayor will have to visit Washington for some heaf these projects and are confident that he will receive a hearty welcome by our great leader as a Republican, and our champion, Senator Shortridge of California, who is to STUMED DRILL TEAM W SDAY EVENING, MAY 14 It is doubtful if any single event could have produced the effect on colored Chicago that the death of Frank L. Gillespie diu. In the last five years of his life, he had promoted a business which was the pride of Chicago and had come to be regarded as one of the new and sanitary influences in Negro business. He was a bold pioneer, intrepid, keen and resourceful. When his aids in the beautiful Liberty Life's Building heard of their leader's death, they were stunned. The girls in the office cried. The men were sad. Asked as to who their new leader might be, they couldn't say. It was hard for them, it is hard, or anybody to think of a successor to rank, as he was familiarly called by those who knew him. Only one name has so far been called: that of K. K. Taylor, vice-principal of Tucker, a possible man to take up the trims where Gillespie left off. Mr. Tayler is a member of the board of directors. Frank L. Gillespie was born in Osceola, Arkansas, November 8, 1876. The early years of his life were spent in Memphis, Tenn., where he received his grammar school education. Later, when his family moved to St. Louis, Mo., he attended Summer High School for three years. However, as (continued on page 6) ECIATION ECTED AT PRIMARIES succeed himself next year. With the support of Mayor Cryer behind him, will mean a great help to his cause. Our group in Los Angeles is thinking for themselves today and is not letting anyone think for them. They know whom they should elect and whom they should not. "We have, at the final election, a problem confronting us with the District representation which means a great deal to every District to know whom they should support in this election. It is important to know whom we are to support for this coming election. Every district has that obligation to fill and it is vital for us to know our candidates. In closing, we hope that these remarks will not be intruding on the good nature of our voters and hope that tins will be of value to those of our group who do not know what good representation means. We heg to remain, C. OLIVIER, Chm. MRS. GWENDOLYN GORDON, Secretary. VANTS YOU TO JOIN IT th—SUNNYLAND JAZZ KU KLUX KLAN COHORTS SEEK EAGLE EDITOR'S ARREST This week the editor of this paper was summoned before the Prosecuting Attorney of Los Angeles City. He was called there on the occasion of several persons who live at Watts, California, who imagine that they have been mistreated when we published in these columns a letter which was purported to have been written and sent out to various members of our group in Watts by the Ku Klux Klan. The letter in question was signed in typewriter by G. W. Price, Imperial Representative for the State of California. We procured the said letter after it had been put in the hands of the Police Department of Watts by a person who received one of them. We published the same, so that the numerous readers of the Eagle at Watts and elsewhere would know of "What's Going On." We did so without any malice toward any individual, as a matter of fact, we had no individual in mind, but we always have in mind the mob-like spirit of the Ku Klux Klan and whenever we learn of the diabolical propositions they are pulling off we cannot refrain from giving pity to publicity. If we are to be put in jail by the City Prosecutor for this policy, he just as well keep on filing complaints for we promise, that whenever such information as this comes to our mind just that often do we intend to publish the same. This fact we stated to Prosecutor Freidlander when he stated to us that the publication of such matter according to his opinion was clearly libelous. STRANGE ATTITUDE OF ACCUSERS The peculiar and strange part of the whole proceedings is the attitude of certain members of our own group in the premises, who instead of being heartedly with us in our light on the Ku Klux, are the ones who are making the complaint of libel against us. They were accompanied to the Prosecutor's office by one of the chief Ku Klux Klan members of Watts, who was all dressed up with a "flaming" red tie. Those who are aggrieved and feel that they have been libelled because we published the Ku Klux Klan letter are: Rev. Bragg; Mr. Cchrane; Mrs. Spurlock; E. Doram; Mr. McDaniels and Douglas. Despite the fact that we have stated that we did any time before and/or for on time thought that they were what the letter represented them to be, they are very insistent that we go to jail and are urging the City Prosecutor to try and put us there, in fact Rev. Bragg says that he will spend his last dime to that end. We tell him to go to it, just as far as he likes. At no time have we claimed anything in the premises other than printing the news for public information. We continue puzzled, however, just why these particular persons are so "het up" over the situation and why a Klansman is always present at the Prosecutor's office. We rise to ask: Are you sicking the Klan upon us? However, it makes not a particle of difference to us, nothing will deter us from what we consider our bounden duty in these premises and that duty is to keep the people fully posted at all times. We have been taking no part in the political factions at Watts. We stand to serve all the people all of the time. If the above named persons have any case to cite, we will state it for them free of cost in these columns. It looks to us if they are in good faith that they will accept our offer for surely they will get farther by proceeding in this direction than they will by attempting to put us in jail, for we verily believe that that is a matter which is far fetched-indeed. However, it is right along the line of information which was given to us by Imperial Representative. We looked for this by another route and not by the way it has come. After all, there may be in Watts, those who are really in league with the Ku Klux Klan. If there are, they are no terror for us, we are firm in our stand for law, order and decency. We are unalterably opposed to the HOODED KNIGHTS, who are a menace to civilization in general, and America's DEMOCRACY in particular, and shall at all times in our realm stand adamant against them and their SYMPATHIZERS. March on "Old Glory," may your original colors—The Red, The White, and The Blue—never be dyed with the only color known to the Bolshevick and Anarchist—Red; and should it, we will face you in the bloody field with the war cry of Patrick Henry, "GIVE ME LIBERTY, OR GIVE ME DEATH." DePRIEST BUILDING BOMBED (Associated Negro Press News) Chicago, Ill., May 5.—A bomb was thrown into a building at 4700 Ellis avenue, owned by Oscar, DePriest local politician here, this week.

HELLO BILL! Elk Picnic, Rose Hill Park, Friday, June 19th. L MAY DANCE AT PAGE-TEN Pickens Reports Great Success Of N.A.A.C.P. Baby Contests Outstanding successes in the campaign of baby contests conducted by William Pickins for the benefit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are announced, some of the most successful having taken place in the South, and a number of such contests having taken been held where there are no branches of the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Pickins made public the following list of successful contests: 1. Gloucester County, Va., Contest, the first rural community to hold such a contest, closed on the 19th of March with $150. The leader of that contest was Mrs. William G. Price, wife of the principal of Gloucester Institute. 2. March 20th saw the closing of the Newport News, Va., Baby contest with $400. This is the most successful contes two have had so far anywhere in the South. The leader and effective worker was Mrs. C. A. Eaton, whose husband is a physician of Newport News. 3. On March 24th Baltimore closed their contest it a total of $69.00 in hand. This is the third largest sum sailed by any contest so far. The leader, to whom we are much obliged was Miss Margaret Williams, a school teacher in Baltimore. 4. March 27th saw the closing of a contest in Woodbury, N. J. with $100. We have no branch of the Association there and the contest was given by the teachers of the colored public school for the benefit of their school and the N. A. A. C. P. Dennis J. Huffington is principal. This and the Gloucester County, Va. Institute are two instances in which the colored people have given us the benefit of Baby Contests, although they have no local branch there. 5. On April 1st, New Bedford, Mass. closed their contest with $383. This is the biggest king of the colored people have done in New Bedford. The leader of this New Bedford effort was Mrs. J. E. Webster. 6. On April 2nd, Worcester, Mass. closed their contest with $65.00. The President of the Committee was Miss Martha J. Brown. 7. April 3rd saw the closing of the New Haven, Conn. contest with $566. With such a small colored population this is indeed a great achievement for the branch there, enabling them to send $100 over their apportionment. 8. Total for all 1925 contests to April 3rd $4,000.35. Additional N. A. A. C. P. baby contests have been begun in Muskegon, Michigan; Gary, Indiana; and Jefferson City, Mo.

DR. TEMPLE INITIATED INTO SORORITY Last Thursday evening, at the home of Dr. Alice Garrott, Ruth J. Temple, M. D., was only put through the solemn degrees of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Dr. Temple emerged smiling and unhurt. Her new sorors say they were unable to bet a smile from her throughout the entire ceremony and that she was the most solemn candidate ever initiated. Temple is well known in Los Angeles. Her timeless energy and achievement in the medical work have won her distinction. The security is very proud of her affiliation, since one of its purposes is to give to the world the cultured, efficient women that the race needs. Dr. Temple's is the first M.D. degree in Sigma Chapter whose membership list holds ten other college degrees. The sorority's Vocational Guidance Week will be held May 17-23, at which time three meetings will be held for the purpose of presenting and discussing the problems of education confronting the youth of the city. The Vocational Guidance week is a national movement by which each of the many Alpha Kappa Alpha chapters seek to improve educational conditions in their respective communities by encouragement and advice to young high school and college students. March 12th was the birthdate of the late Col. Charles E. Young. We wonder how many of our fraternal or civic organizations remembered its Colonel Young was one of the outstanding productions of our race. His career was an undeniable fact that which backed by ability ran, and will overcome arry and all difficulties. If ever there was a character which Negro youth should be taught to emulate it is that of the man who conquered the most prejudiced branch of our national government and commanded the respect of even those who traded him. Strolling Thru The Beau Monde With Mademoiselle By Dorothy Jean Armstrong The length of skirts continues to trimmish. Ten inches from the floor is now considered decidedly conservative. Fourteen inches from the floor is a very general length for dancing frocks, sport clothes and tailored suits. The longest skirts are used for draperies and formal dresses. The scarf holds its place as an important fashion. It is a part of the frock and is usually made of the dress material, sometimes combined with crepe jean, georgette, etc. in a contrasting color. An evening wrap, even if it is an extremely simple broadcloth cane in an evening color, should always be and straight-line dress. Both are and straight-line dress are correct and it is extremely smart to make the wrap and dress of the same color. The very latest evening shades, blue, Blue—French, turquoise or coral, coral, rude, jade and salmon. Long earrings are worn for evening and for day dress. The single large pearl on a very fine chain is smart. The hair is worn very close to the head. Either long or short. The part may be at the center or side. Puffed sleeves, necks and coat effects on frocks are often belless. Fashion offers the tuxedo or easier lines with tucks, a draped tunic. A fashion flower, scarfs and tasseled pockets give a breath of Paris to dresses on beltless lines, with tipped fronts or shaped peplum. Simple trimming mark frocks with wide sleeves and young girls. Fashion depends on loose panels, circular flounce and drapery. Glides fared tunicies, the surplice line, are very smart. WANTED - Refined working girl to more modern bungalow. All conveniences.

Mary, the Mother of our Blessed Savior wept as only a Mother could. I frankly admit that there are thousands of Men and Women that could write more intelligently on this subject than I can; but on the subject in general; and especially the memory of mine, there lies imbedded in my heart the cherished memories of her most wonderful Love. I do not know of a more impressive demonstration that ought to be established throughout the whole Universe than the one that has been set aside for Mothers' Day. This Day brings to every Son and Daughter how that loving Mother poured out her whole soul pleading and forgiving. The heart of Gold always seems to me just a little inadequate in comparison to the Golden Love of a Mother The Great Creator in His wise Providence saw fit to give to this world the Creature Woman; not only as a companion; but to bear the burden of a Mother with unceasing Love. From the beginning it was that Mother that in the darkest of night and despair poured out her Bleeding Heart to save wayward child, who seemed to tread the road to destruction. From the cradle to the fire side; from the fireside to the play ground and from the play ground to the World of responsibility it was that Mother that watched and prayed that nothing would befall her child. Just when the shadow of failure seemed to crown her efforts the sunshine of success came from the love of a Mother, The carnation bows this Day both white and red unseen in reverence to that most wonderful Mother, and that this day set aside may live on through all the ages. From the beginning of our lamented Presidents to the present day Great Men and Women have held sacred in their hearts such a day. Although not until late years has it been established. In conclusion let me ask each and every one in this Glorious Mothers' Day to give five minutes of consecrated prayer in Silence to your mother to have a Heart like hers. PAGE----SIX THE PEOPLE SPOKE NOW FOR BUSINESS CONGRATULATIONS If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened COMMENTS The action of the State Board of Harbor Commissioners to oust the astute old political "War Horse", John Taylor, from the Shoe shining stand at the Ferry; has created a political feud which threatens to disrupt the "harmony" which the professional pan-handlers procured. It seems as it though, in order to pay off a political debt, for services rendered, the Boxing Commission issued a permit to a political worker to give exhibitions of boxing in the city of Oakland The P. W. had the backing, financially of a prominent S. F. attorney. At least so it is alleged, and according to report, they are damning J. T. for blooming the game. Politics is a great game if one does not weaken. And above all the is a square shooter". It might be that the following will bring results. It is a copy of an editorial printed in the San Francisco Examiner and refers to the mdb which mutilated Joseph Neeilleman, a Jew in North Carolina: "The mob tragedy in North Carolina, in which an unreasoning prejudice against Jews caused a band to mutilate Joseph Needleman, should warn us to cast out organized hate. "The time to curb such mobs is by killing organized prejudice in its cradle. With too much tolerance we let such prejudice thrive, trusting to time to turn the tide back to sanity. "That state of fear and suspicion poses a dangerous thing. It needs only a breath of passion on occasion to fan it into a flame which feeds on human massacre. "This North Carolina attack should warn America to hold her hate-breeding agencies in check." For years, North Carolina not excepted, those "hate breeding agencies" have fattened off attroctives committed against their "former friends," the black men and women of the South. Difference in race has caused a hatred that is now manifesting itself to an uncontrollable degree, and venting its spleen, not because of color but, because of religious beliefs. When there was a Negro lynching orcite, "Too Bad," would be the limit of the majority of press comments. It took the death of a white boy to open up investigations which disclosed the brutality of Penal Farms in Florida. Needleham belongs to a race which has the courage along with the financial ability to bring the cuprits to the bar of justice. If "American is warned," it will be because the Jews have the financial power to awaken the government to their sense of duty. Needleman's torture may be the means of "wousing a righteous indignation in the minds of the public against mob cruelty. Are our uplife leaders accepting the challenge of our young people? On April 18, San Francisco怀念ed the 19th anniversary of her great disaster. 18 years ago half the city was a smouldering mass of brick and twisted iron. Today, Sphinx like she rises from her dead ashes and boasts one of the most beautiful cities of the world, prosperous and with a doubled population. "She knows how," SAN FRANCISCO! VIEWS AND REVIEWS By: Twinkling Star WE ARE ASTONISHED TO learn of the conduct of some of our local religious leaders in local political circles! We are going to lift the lid as soon as the opportunity comes. If it does not come soon enough we are going to make it. Black men and women of Los Angeles, be wary of pulpit dictation of a certain tyhe in the exercise of your political discretion. AS LONG AS WE HAVE MEN who will continue to enter the back door of politicians and have their hands "greased" so as to wield whatever influence they may possess among their cloak in the interest of the "greasing" ones we shall be a politically hopeless and wordless group. Time and again, we are being disgusted and betrayed by men and women who misrepresent our aspirations and we wonder why we cannot make further headway in the estimation of the living forces of our community. It is because of this damnable thing—this back-door political salesmanship by "misrepresentatives" and misleaders! WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE CLEAN, intelligent, straightforward manhood and womanhood of Los Angeles? What has become of men like Noah D. Thompson, E. Burton Ceruti, Hugh E. Macbeth, John Somerville, Revs. N. P. Greggs, S. M. Beane, W. T. Cleghorn, E. E. Lightner, T., L. Griffith, H. D. Prowd and R. W. Underwood? What has become of others who are worthy to be numbered in this group but of whom we cannot think in our hasty survey just now? Where are the clean, upright young men of Los Angeles—where are the worthwhile young women? If in the strength of your growing manhood and womanhood and the bright sunshine of your abundant intelligence, you are responsible for corruption and rascallity move to the front in representing us, you are responsible for our lack of political progress. We defy you, real men and women, to say that you are not. HEAVEN BE PRAISED! We are, after all, not the only ones who seek the aid of greater intellects than our own to substantiate the rational accuracy of our thoughts. AND WE MIGHT OBSERVE that an intellect is an intellect; recog- nized authority is recognized authority. What difference, therefore, is there in quoting from an ancient or modern authority? If your ideas happen to harmonize with those of a modern Brown and you quote him as authority in your behalf how do you differ from one who quotes from an ancient Plato of Shakespeare, or from a modern Browning, Belsac or Wells with all or any of whose ideas his thoughts happen to harmonize? TRUTH IS TRUTH, whether it was issued by Socrates in 430 B. C. or by Henri Bergson in 1925 A. C. it IS TRUTH and can bear no other complexion, whether quoted by our enemies or friends! AS WE HUMOROUSLY watch the gradual metamorphosis of the intellectual caterpillar into a literary butterfly we are forced to express the opinion, long since cherished, that we were not opposed and criticised because we actually quoted from authorities in support of our ideas, but because we demonstrated our ability to find authorities and quote therefrom. We congratulate our adversaries on their growing taste for reading and research! Any thanks to us for the change? TO DEAN CHARLES R. BROWN and his "intellectual dealings" and apprentices as to others, ancient or modern, we ask: What difference does it make whether a man finds it as a statement written out and printed in a book" or whether he finds it by accurate, independent thinking. Who cares from whence comes TRUTH? Who cares whether men study, memorize it or think it out, just so it is TRUTH? Life is concerned with the ability to recognize TRUTH than the production of TRUTH. What care we of the source of night and day? We are concerned emphatically, however with our visions, without which we are practically worthless as far as both are concerned. The trouble with most men who believe themselves to be independent producers of TRUTH. is that they have not the intellectual vision to really discover it. Hence they deceive themselves and their ignorant environments that they are TRUTH. MAKHRS and would dare to challenge others who seek the aid of authorities of TRUTH to upset their folly and self-deception. YOUR PITIABLE SELFISHNESS many times leads you to the false, and sometimes impudent, assumption that the only thinks which amount to anything worthwhile are those in which you are engaged in, and are not interested. Be careful of the EGO! The world is far bigger than you. HEAD OF LIBERTY LIFE INS COMPANY DIES (continued from page 1) young Gillespie was a violinist or rare talent, his parents planned to give him a musical education. With this intention, they sent him to study at the Boston Conservatory of Music. The opportunity to finish high school was gained while he studied music in that city. Then instead of completing his musical career, young Gillespie entered the law school of Howard University. For a while all went well, but difficulties came and he was forced to abandon his formal education. Once out of school Gillespie began his fight for a place in the world of business and large affairs. First he returned to Chicago where he secured employment as private secretary to Mr. J. C. Yeager, a prominent cago capitalist. At the death of this employer he sought other activities, rapid succession. He became the first colored employee of the Automatic Telephone Company and afterwards entered the real estate business with Mr. Oscar DePriest. For two years he engaged in that profession but he had not yet found his life work. Finally in January of 1916, he left to join the agency force of the Royal Life Insurance Company. With that organization he began his first real estate business. He had found his calling. By August of the same year, Gillespie was made superintendent of the company. He thus, became the first colored superintendent of on Old Line Legal Reserve Insurance Company doing both industrial and ordinary business. The success which attended Gillespie as superintendent of the Royal Life Insurance Company was 'phenominal; so it happened that in the fall of 1917, he became organizer and officer of the Public Life Insurance Company of Illinois. This was the time in the history of Life Insurance that a Negro had been elevated to a position of such responsibility. Gillespie made good. For two years he assisted in the development of the young institution, then he decided to organize a company among his own people. He saw the need clearly and knew that his own years of experience could make it possible. Such a company, he realised, would open the door of his business to the issuer his race Liberty Life Insurance Company of Illinois is the result. Today it towers like a beacon light among the giant institutions of the race. He is managed by a group of the most competent men in the field of life insurance and stands as an everlasting monument to the genius of its founder and a bulwark against the misfortunes of an awakening people. In 1903 Mr. Gillespie was married to Miss Eldreanor Poree of New Orleans, Louisiana. To this union two children have been given, a son now 20. and a daughter of 17. The beautiful home life of this group and the progress of Liberty Life Insurance Company of Illinois attest the success with which a master mind has met and solved the problems of his day. Meeting of Brotherhood, Wesley Chapel M. E. Church, Tuesday evening, 8:00 P. M. Come, hear Mr. Ballinger. POLITICAL POT PIE Harris Safety First Check System's Third The primary election is over, Mayor or Cryer is re-elected and now let's get ready for the election of a council which will best serve this city for the coming quadrennial. Mark Pierce outran the hounds and came very near going all the way on last Tuesday. He will surely come home with the bacon, June 2nd. Win J. Sanborn, Councilman elect from the Ninth District simply stepped on the gas and went over the top. Some Benedict Arnold's down in the 8th District is plainly shown on the returns. Pop Sanders tin canned in with his wrecking crew and the deed was done. Charley Olivier and his Protective Republican League, said you shall not slam that door in our face and is a part of the triumphant reception. Thus far Mark Pierce, Cupid Sparks, Dr. Langdon, Ralph Criswell, are among those who look like sure shots at the June election. The Lincoln League will now get the inning by getting behind a win- ning councilmatic ticket. The Mushet and Meyers contest for Controlled will without doubt he the feature race in the pending com- paign. S. B. W. May can console himself when he runs over the list of candi- dates and finds that scores of them received less votes than he. More About The Vast Improvements Which Will Come To L. A. The greatest traffic barrier of downtown Los Angeles will disappear with the transformation of Bunker Hill into a great park, frinced with wide boulevards, and surmounted by a Mall nearly a mile in length flanked with sites for cultural and semi-public buildings, under the Civic Center Plans of the Allied Architects Association. This earth mass in the heart of the city has long been a menace to the residential sections lying to the west, housing as it does a potential urban area which tends to unstabilize real estate values in its immediate vicinity. This area also constitutes a danger to the city as a distinct fire hazard imperiling the business section to the south and east. Once the exclusive residential section of town with the business district living about its east and south sides, Bunker Hill has fallen into a state of stagnation and become a serious traffic barrier. The Allied Architects' Civic Center plans would change all this. The Hill would become a beautiful park of greenery and flowers, a charm spot within a stone's throw of the business section. The broad boulevards encompassing the hill would connect directly with the densely populated country lying east and north of Los Angeles, giving direct access to the city's business section, with the necessity of passing through narrow streets eliminated. The visitor would be enabled to leave any of the large downtown hote's, motor through this park, connect with Mullhallton Drive comfort over a charming scenic route. Traffic traffic would be diverted through wide, welllaired and well-lighted tunnels of the modern type accelerating rather than retarding through traffic. Such treatment of this district would serve the dual motive of appealing to the aesthetic eye and the utilitarian mind of the jubilic. The value of this park as a means of effecting traffic alleviation would more than justify its existence. And yet, the park of Las Alturas as it, is named on the plans, does more than relieve traffic congestion in the downtown area. Fulfilling one of Los Alturas's beautiful spot wherein one may rest, unharassed by the tumult of a great city's busy streets. Downtown Los Angeles has been long lacking an adequate park system, which the growth of the city warrants. Pershing Square constitutes the only development along this line. And Pershing Square is small, pitifully small. The creation of Las Alturas as suggested by the Allied Architects Association would remedy this deficiency, giving the tired shop owner an open laboratory of green spaces in the park. Ours is wherein to while away an hour or two. It would constitute an easily accessible breathing space only a few blocks from the heart of the business section. The visitor would gain an entirely different first impression of Los Angeles from that prevalent among tourists at the present time, who seeing only the hurting traffic, and the busy buildings of the downtown area, or the congested streets of dingy houses through which he passes en route to the beaches is unconsciously influenced by these externals and regards Los Angeles as a commercial city without beauty of landscape. First impressions are hard to change. And by the adoption of the Allied Architects plans, it will be unnecessary to rectify first impressions. The visitor will immediately see the beauty which is Los Anegles, in the charms of Las Altruas and the Civic Center. Harris Safety First Check System's Third Annual Anniversary Celebration Magnificent And Colossal Success DR. W. M.

He also paid a glowing tribute to J. A. H. Eldridge is the pastier was the Negro Press and asked for them held the third Annual Anniversary and stronger support. Celebration of the formation of the In a burial of elquence he bade the Company known as the Harris Safety assembled throng good bye, but not first Check System. To say that the meeting was a colossal and magnificent success is not sufficient, for in truth it was perhaps the most-remarkable gathering of our group which has ever assembled in America or any other country. It was a day given over to the celebration of three years of service three years of patience and effort. It demonstrated no regrets for the past but a strong hope for the future. The multitude gathered in song and prayer, and inspiring addresses from both speakers of National renown and local orators as well and through the day it was on estady march of triumph for the ruling faith manifested in what is well established as one of the most important times, the Harris Safety First Check. During the day Morris Harris, the inventor personally gave frequent demonstrations of the famous invention much to the delectation and education of those assembled. Throughout the day Trinity Church was filled with career and anxious persons some of whom journeyed quite a distance to be present on this occasion and all enjoyed every moment of the time as inspiration and information was the order of the day. CLIMAX EVERY SESSION The grand finale and climax of the day's meeting was the great meeting on Thursday evening when the eminent and far famed Dr. W. M. Johnson of Philadelphia and Alexander Louisiana spoke to the immense concourse of the people which crowded every inch of space of the large edifice, and hundreds had been turned away. Dr. Johnson is a forceful and most logical speaker and his vocabulary is so extensive that it is inexhaustible. His rich and varied experience as a financier, business man and preacher is such that his words bring home to his hearers the great problems which confront them as few public speakers can. He is a leader who can qualify and listening to him is an opportunity well worth while, for two hours he held his audience spell bound with his master eloquence and love. He gave a practical demonstration of the possibilities and ultimate results of the Harris Safety First Check and the great magnitude as well as scope which will obtain from this invention. By special request Dr. Johnson has been persuaded to remain over and address the people on next Monday evening at the New Hope Baptist Church. On Tuesday evening a public reception and banquet will be tendered him at Trinity Baptism Church. He leaves for home Wednesday morning.

JOHNSON Trinity Baptist Church was on last Tuesday evening, again the scene of a most enthusiastic gathering, when members of the Harris Safety Check System tendered Dr. Johnson a deep sleepion and browm. The distinguished visitor was at his best and delivered a most forceful and telling address pertinent to the issues and as a result secured many new supporters and members for the company.

While here he became financially interested in the company. At the conclusion of the reception tendered he was escorted to the banquet table where the choice viands and ready service again made him leath to leave Funny California. But his business called. Wednesday morning he boarded the Southern Pacific train for his home at Alexapdria, Louisiana. NEGROES AT SESSION OF WOMEN QUIT Refusal to Sing Owing to Segregation is the Convention. Eth (By A. P. Night Wire) Washington, May 5.—Delegates attending the quinquennial convention of the International Council of Women came face to face tonight with a typically American problem while assembled to hear a program of American music. The program designed to show the development of American music, included Indian selections by a band of Sioux warriors from South Dakota; Negro spirituals of the 1860 period and modern compositions. But the Negroes didn't sing, because members of their race not included among delegates to the convention had been segregated in the audience. The time came for the Negroes to make their appearance. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, former president of the National Association of Colored Women, a prominent organization of the American section of the International Council appeared on the stage and announced the Negro singers would not appear because of discrimination. Soon afterwards, the Negroes in the audience left the auditorium practically in a body. Editor's Note: We say bravo to Hallie Q. Brown, and the Colored women with her who resented this form of segregation. It is high time that Colored Americans in a dignified manner resent these ensails. They are common to Americans only, and are in most cases frowned upon by cultured Europeans. The subject of a very interesting debate was "Resolved that Christianity be done more for the human family than Education." Representing the affirmative were Mrs. L. Griffithand Miss Morgan; while Mrs. Dupert and Miss Hamilton held down the negative. Warl Chapel, of which Rev. B. R. Guy is the pastor, was the battling ground of the debaters. While both sides wrought well their arguments; the judges consisting of Dr. Hudson, Mrs. J. H. Wilson and Mrs. C. A. Bass rendered decision in favor of the affirmative. The other timely number on the program was a very inspiring and educational address by P. E., J. H. Wilson. President Coolidge, You Have The Answer Let's Hear It Washington, D. C., May 5. (For The Associated Negro Press)—President Coolidge, following his induction into office, and even before, for that matter, made a fine impression on such individuals and groups of Colored men as conferred with him. All of them came away from the White House saying "I think President Coolidge is all right. I feel sure that we are going to get a square deal and fair play." President Harding had gone to his reward; and so far as Colored America was concerned, there was not much reward due him. He had told Colored Advisers that he proposed to treat them right; he told them that, even before he was nominated in Chicago. The late Charles Cottrill, of Toledo, (L.) heading a group of Colored delegates at the 1920 convention, went to the Harding and Gouldtis meetings that of the proudest moments of that political leader's life when he listened to President Harding tell the men: "You can count on me to be fair and just with you. Not only will I give you all the appointments that Colored men are usually given, but many additional ones." That sounded "buly," as the famous Theodore Roosevelt would have said—and it is what Henry Lincoln Johnson and others have said. ```markdown ``` --- A LIVELY DEBATE Staff Correspondence (Continued next week) GREAT BOXING CARD MON.

He was scheduled to box Ray Pelkey at the Oakland Auditorium, Wednesday night in Tommy Simpson's feature ten-round attraction. Commissioner William H. Hanlon order Monday barring the colored lightweight because of impaired eyesight, reversed his decision yesterday upon receiving a report from a San Francisco specialist, who pronounced Norfolk's eyes as being as healthy as possible. The Oakland boxing impressario had only talk with Hanlon yesterday, and the Commissioner stated that he was perfectly satisfied with the findings of the eSan Francisco doctor Norfolk has been training faithfully for the bout at the Chutes Athletic Club on the Ocean Beach. He is in perfect shape and says that he will stop Pelkey. "It it sure is fine news for my ears" Norfolk declared yesterday when he learned of Commissioner Hanlon's final decision. "I knew right along that there was nothing the matter with my eyes. They never bothered me and when they do start I am not going to wait until a doctor or someone else orders me to stop, I am just naturally going to quit for my own good." LOS ANGELES, CALIF., MAY 8, 1925 BOXING THE SPORT-GRAM THE SPORT-GRAM By Ashby B. Carter (By The Associated Negro (By The Associated Nerro Press) Jumping Jack Dempsey, non-fighting Heavyweight Champion of the World is on his way, not to Fistiana, but to Europe. His mission? Honey-mooning. Quite naturally he is chaperoned by his new manager, Madame Estelle Taylor Dempsey. On his way across the States from the coast to New York, he was asked by the scribes if he intended to fight him. He was always "Yes." When asked woe nand who, his comeback was always "See Kearnes, he arranges the scraps and I take care of 'em" In our opinion, Dempsey will never fight again. Not even if he makes up his mind to do so. A few months ago the *Dodger* made a statement like this: "I don't owe anything to the newspapers. They have never done anything for me". Think of that! Newspaper writers have made him and he says that they have done nothing fo rhim. They have told the world that he is the greatest champion $_{\text{on}}$ that has worn the crown, despite the fact that $h$ ehas fought few real hitting fighters. They have placed him on a pinnacle with the howling mob of fight fans at his papers nothing. feet. Yet he says he owes the news. Well, to make a long story shorter, the pugilistic scribes are insulted and justly so. They have made Jack and they can break him so far as fighting and the well wishes of the public are concerned. Indications are they are now going about their business of bringing the idol back to earth. They are panning him on every side. We are forced to say, Brovo. Scribes, keep up the good work. Shut the Jumping Jack in his box and let some real fighters take the stage. It is interesting, as well as encouraging to see Negro colleges pro moting interscholastic meets and tournaments. Claflin University has just put over asuccessful track and field meet, in which a' number of South Carolina high schools were entered. Last month, West Virginia Collegiate Institute ran off a highly successful basketball tournament for the interscholastic championship of the state. Aside from the fact that such gatherings have a highly educational value to the students who participate they encourage other lads to enter the high school's. Maybe they enter with the hope of getting on a team with them. But the point is they enter. Anything that encourages our youths to go farther along the way of education should be applauded. Y. M. C.

ATHLETIC CLUB Ral Avenue EFORD Flowers Is The Berries By Mack (By The Associated Negro Press) One of the most colorful fighters o f modern times is Theodore Flowers of Atlanta, Georgia, and he is one of the best office attractions in the ring outside of Jack Dempsey and possibly Harry Wills. Flowers' earnings so far this year has equaled the President's salary for a twelve-months. This Georgit deacon is wisely investing his sheckels in Brunswick, Georgia, real estate. Flowers' popularity, is of a different type from that of Joe Gane, Geo. Dixos, Sam Langford or any of the great boxers of bygone days. Although these ring artists were great fighters their success and popularity were due largely to the fact that they were what is commonly known as "good mixers" and they were always surrounded by a group of admirers or leaches who were ready to take advantage of their generosity. Flowers' success is due solely to the fact that he gives the fight fans a thrill from the minute he gets in action until someone is assisted from the ring. He doesn't drink, smoke or dissipate in any way and being attached to his family, there is no room left for so called admirers to edge in. This Southern tornado is a very unique character, being a deacon or steward in the Methodist Church, many fighters have gone in for ring work AFTER leaving the ring but none have mixed the church and the ring together successively before. Old Jack Johnson attempted to come back via the pulpit last winter but failed miserably. The Georgian is a human'buzz-say' when he faces an opponent and fairly smothers his man with punches. Gloves come from alldirections and all angles. Outside of Jack Dempsey who floored the deacon twice, in Madison Square Garden, Flowers has not lost a fight in two years. ELECTRA CHAPTER NO. 3, O. E. S. Los Angeles, California At the regular meeting of the above Chapter holden on Tuesday, March 24th, this chapter celebrated its thirty-fourth anniversary. Having been organized in the year 1891. And of the several persons who were ent and participated in the organization, this Chapter is still blessed with the presence of one of those members in the person of Sister Mary E. Fry, who is still an active person in the Chapter and one of the Early Past Matrons. The members present expressed themselves as willing to shout when they learned that this good Sister (We would call her Mother, but she was told that after some business two or three times Chapter was forced by reason of circumstances to close its doors, and to lay dormant. Send in their charter, and weep over the sakes of its ruins. However Sister Fry and others who were O. E. S. atheart, did not become discouraged, with pride and devotion labored on, looking only to that day when they would again be a Chapter full of hope and vigor, and to day their dreams are realized. For Electra is the largest Chapter in the Jurisdiction, achapter that has ever played its part well in the success of the Jurisdiction. Its second organization took place the 25th of March, 1898. The present Charter bears the signature of the late Hon. R. J. Fletcher, the other Grand Worthy Patron, and other Grand Officers whom I am unable to name at this time. During all these years from 1898 down to the present time, it would be unwise to say that the Chapter has not undergone many heart aches during its GODFREY WILL BOX AT ASSEMBLY AUDITORIUM MONDAY NIGHT GEO. GODFREY TRAINING AT LAKE ELSINORE FOR RENAULT BOUT George Godfrey, world famous heavyweight boxer, whom many claim can beat Harry Wills is the headliner at the Assembly Auditorium on next Monday evening, MAY 11TH. He will appear in a six-round exhibition bout, when he will meet three different opponents, viz.: Vicious Victor Alexander, Steve Villa a giant Mexican and Ted Frenchie. It will be indeed a real evening in fistiana, when these gladiators meet as each one of them will no doubt, endeavor to win the title, wade right into the famous Godfrey, and then too, the crowd will se him bowl them over if he can. BIG CROWD EXPECTED Of course this card will bring to the Assembly a record breaking crowd, and standing room, it is pre- After a three weeks' rest and preliminary limbering up at Lake Elsinore, George Godfrey and "Black Shadow of Leiperville" is ready to begin hard training for his coming match with George Ranault, in San Francisco, June 6th. Godfrey made quite a hit with the natives in and around Elsinore and last Sunday staged a boxing carnival struggles. But, behind the dark clouds the sun is still shining. And we came together at this time to recount the many struggles that for us have spelled success. The Past Matrons present were: Sister Frye, Sister Alexander, Sister Addie Harris, Sister Janie Bowman, Sister Elizabeth Edwards, Sister D. L. Shackelford. Past Patrons present were Brother James G. Edmonds and Brother Isaiah Middleton. The history of the Chapter was given by the Matron, Sister L. E. Shaffer, who had spared no time and thought to get down to the true status of things. Other numbers on the Program were all of very great interest to the membership present. The program as well as the refreshments were prepared by a committee headed by Sister B. E. Prentice, all of which spoke for itself and praise to the committee for their efficient service, thought and taste. Might I pause to say a word with reference to the Past Matron, Sister S. L. Alexander, who is also a Past Grand Matron, having served in that capacity two years. Sister Alexander is ever on the firing line; ever on the watch to see to it that nothing affects the good work she has done to mar the grudge. She is now the very smart treasurer of this Chapter, watching the expenditure of its funds with that same degree of care as though they were her own. She is a dictionary of facts, a Mason's wife, a walking encyclopedia, a mason's sister, an Eastern Star of no mean ability. Long may she live to (?) as the days come and go. While Electra boasts of other good women who have filled with great credit Grand O. ces, Sister Alexander is the first and only Past Grand Matron from Electra. We cannot pass out without speaking a word with reference to those our Brethren and Sisters who have gone to join the Grand Chapter above, where there shall be no more parting. The Angel of death has paid his several visits to this Chapter, and one by one some of the founders have passed to the land of pure delight, where saints immortal reign. Then, we have loved ones in glory, Whose dear form we often miss. When we close our earthly story, Will we join them in their bliss? One by one their seats are emptied, One by one they went away, Now the family is parted, Will it be complete one day? But: We remember the song of heaven, Which they sang with youthful voice, And we love the Hymns they taught And their songs are now our choice. Will the circle be unbroken, dicted, will be at a premium. Manager Burns is indeed to be congratulated on bringing this star attraction to the Assembly and that the people will show their appreciation is without doubt. In addition to this feature, a show in itself, a special regular star boxing card with Young Sam Langford and Sailor Carter in the Main Event will no doubt be a sensational bout. Ralph Lincoln vs. Young Chico will fight the Semi-Windup, will two other high class bouts will fill the crowded program for the evening. Ladies are especially invited and special seating arrangements will be provided for them, that they may see the great Godfrey in action as well as to witness the evening's program. with several Los Angeles boxers. He boxed two rounds each with, Baby Gans, Victor Alexander and Sam Baker. Godfrey's manager Jim Daugherty has asked "Cherokee" Tox Cox to be signed, and as Godfrey's sparing admin, Diaherty like many others believes Sam has the makings of a world champion.

FREE AND EQUAL "BILLEBOARD" JACKSON DOES NOT REVIEW A FILM *(By The Associated Negro Press) (By The Associated Negro Press) On Monday, April 20, we visited a matinee performance of Free and Equal, a film that Al H. Woods gave a feature presentation of at the Astor Theatre, New York. Perhaps others shared the big cold auditorium with us. Despite the invitational opening and handpicked audience of the night before, the thing failed to take and notice was posted backstage before the matinee was finished to the effect that the show would close on Saturday. That information provided whatever pleasure came from the $1.10 spent on the show, though it was legitimate spent money, our conscience demanded that we get some action for the money. We got it in the satisfaction of learning that New York has grown beyond accepting ignorant appeals to race antagonism. The title is a mishomer. The story is not free from a very palpable manness, and desire to stir up the animals; nor is it equal to the common run of every day films. It was not, entertaining nor could it serve any good purpose. Just about all it accomplished was to attrish the halo that colored people had long since placed upon the head of Al Woods whom they had came to know as a friend of the race. Mr. Woods may not need this good will but it was genuinely his. It is reported that one of Mr. Woods' employees resigned his job on an elevator rath rath work for a ma who presented such a film. That may or may not be true, but if so, he showed more courage than did a dozen of our big show performers who worked in the prologue and epilogue with which the presentation was dressed. There is no need to call names. We will save them that humiliation, but we have our opinion of performers who will prestige their talents in any such propaganda against the race of which they the a part while there are dishes to wash, ditches to dig, streets to sweep or any other honorable jobe with which they might fence off starvation. That bunch paid a terrible price in self-respect for one lonely week on Broadway. No tears will fall for either picture or performers anent the early closing of both. It had a free chance at Broadway approval and was not even the first to be printed. But the print "Free and Equal" will have become ancient history and New York theatre patrons will have gone on their fair minded way. --- STUDIO PRODUCTION ON INCREASE STUDIO PRODUCTION ON INCREASE With the coming of partial fair weather, the wheels of the studios are moving, and some of the millions of dollars that are to be spent this year have begun to trickle into the pockets of our studio workers. The Dramatic League is busier than at any time this year. Just now the men and children actors are getting the most calls, but the women folks will have their innings later. Oscar Smith out at the Lasky Studio is on the jump getting talent for the "Wanderer" being directed by Roual Walsh.

The Bowie Post has long wanted an Auditorium in which friends of the World War Veterans could gather in a sociable atmosphere. The securing of the Humming Bird Dancing Academy has made him a possible not to lose the too small but just print for a homey sociable crowd it is expected that the dances given there by the Legion will be a great success. Don't forget Monday is the first of the Dances. All proceeds over expenses go into the American Legion Fund for relief work. J. T. Doyle Explains Use Of Photographs In Civil Service (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., May 5.—In a letter to A. L. Glenn, president of the National Alliance of Postal Employees, John T. Doyle, secretary of the United States Civil Service Commission, has explained in detail the purpose and advantages of the use of photographs in the civil service and the objections raised to the substitution of finger prints. Photographs, Mr. Doyle explains, are used to prevent impersonation. They have proved their value in this respect, he states. He claims that the taking of a finger is an act of exploitation and that these men would not be available in the 3,000 cities and towns in America, and, in our insular possessions where examinations are held. Finger prints have been suggested as a substitute because it was felt that they would prevent the possibility of discrimination in the workers, but Mr. Doyle argues that they would not. Three eligibles, he says, the certified for each vacancy under the Civil Service rules, so that the appointing officer may exercise his preagative in making appointments, before definitely making appointments endorseor to account themselves, concerning the eligible certified, beyond the information included in the examination papers and the application, so that appointing officers who discriminate against Negroes now, could do so if identification were set aside altogether, or if some means of identification were substituted for photographs. Mr. Doyle concludes: "The use of photographs by the Civil service Commission for the purpose of establishing identity and preventing impersonations in examinations augments it is the only available method."

Nearly three thousand people visited Sureka during the day. Some of our most prominent citizens came for the first time to view the marvelous progress that has taken place in seven months. Mrs. Sarah Crewe 1535½ W. 36th Street won the large, beautiful, level lot in the third unit that was given away Sunday. Everyone well pleased as the result of the drawing as Mrs. Crewe is a widow with four small children. The requirements being that you should be on the site of the drawing, with your ticket in your hand, caused five numbers to be drawn without being claimed. One of the novel features of the day was the taking of moving pictures. Seenes were taken at the giving away of the lot, and in front of the various cabins and of the many little private picnics. These will be shown on a near date at some of the leading theatres in the colored districts including the Rosebur and the Dunbar. Also arrangements have been made to snow them in the colored theatres throughout the United States. Miss Juliaette Harris was pleasantly surprised by a party pre-arranged by her mother, Mrs. Harris, in honor of her birthday. A very dainty lunchon was served under one of the beautiful live oaks in which Eureka abounds and it was a pretty sight to see how much the young people enjoyed themselves. Miss Harris is the will known Western Coast Tennis Champion. Mr. and Mrs. William Turner had as their guest Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Shaw of Pasdeena, Calif.; Mrs. Minnie Wickliffe, and daughter; Mrs. Gertrude Hewett and daughter, Carita, and Mrs. George Patten and daughter.

Georgia Parent-Teacher Organizations Close Meeting (By The Associated Negro Press) Macon, Georgia, May 5. Two hundred and twenty-five Parent Teacher organizations were represented in the fifth annual meeting of the Georgia Colored Parent-Teacher Associations which was held here. Addresses national prominence on the problems affecting parents and teachers. Mrs H. R. Butler, was elected president. The beginning of the P. T. A. work in Georgia is the result of a conference which Mrs. H. R. Butler, a patron, had with Miss Cora B. Finley, Principal and Miss Olive Taylor, Assistant Principal of Yonge Street Public school. They saw the need of such an organization, in order to create a better feeing and clearer understanding between teacher and parent hence an invitation was sent to the patrons of the above named school by the principal to meet at the school on March 1911. After hearing the object of the meeting, an explanation of P. T. A. work by Mrs. H. K. Butler, who was presiding, a permanent organization was perfected at Yonge Street School, Atlanta, Georgia, with the following officers: Mrs. H. R. Butler, President; Mrs. C. B. Finley, Vice-President; Mrs. R. A. Carter, Secretary; Mrs. Lizzie Haywood, Treasurer. As the work developed other schools of the city organized P. T. A's which were in time organized by Mrs. Butler into the Parent-Teacher Council of Atlanta. Seeing the rapid development of the work in other parts of the state, Mrs. Butler issued a call in interest of the State P. T. A., as a result of which a temporary organization was perfected in the fall of 1919 in the War Camp Community Center, Edgewood avenue, Atlanta, Georgia. Mrs. I. E. Andrews (at that time) president of the white State P. T. A. was present, and by invitation, presided. The following officers were elected: Mrs. H. R. Butler, president; Mrs. C. B. Finley, corresponding Secretary: Mrs. Willie Daniels, treasurer, May, 1921, in the lecture room of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Atlanta, the organization was made permanent. There has been a state meeting each year since that time. In Columbus, 1922, Atlanta, 1923, Savannah, 1924 and Macon, 1925.

Pacific States Auto Club Issues Yosemite Information A motorist and guide manual for every car owner who enters Yosemite National Park this year is good news for the many thousands of Southern Californians who are planning to make their first annual visit to the park. The National Park Service, at the request of Superintendent W. B. Lewis, has prepared for free distribution to Yosemite motorists a large map, size 293 x 33 inches, covering all the roads from the San Joaquin Valley on the west to the Tiger Boad on the east. The portion of the map occupies by the park has been purposely enlarged, so as to better show the various interesting points, particularly those that can be reached by an automobile. At the bottom of the map is an inset of Yosemite Valley, showing the location of the superintendent's office, where some twenty thousand Southern Californians registered last year, for one of the ideal camp sites provided froze by the National Park Service. The stores, hotel resorts and the road system of the valley are, a so shown on the same map. It also includes a mileage table to Yosemite from practically every community in the State. On the reverse side of the map is a manual covering nearly every activity in the park of interest to the motorist. Information concerning automobile regulations, camping, hotel rates, medical, garage and postal service, will all be found on the map that is going to be handed to every motorist entering the park in 1925. BALLOON TIRES, WHAT ABOUT THEM After a little more than a year's general use the balloon tire has had a fair test the result of which has revealed many interesting as well as astounding facts. While it is still in its perfecting stages, the balloon tire has permanently replaced the high pressure casinb. Comfortable riding, is its chief asset, made by so the low pressure system used in its construction which reduces the air pressure carried in each sacing from sixty, seventy and eighty pounds or more to less than 50 pounds. Another feature is the effect of the balloon tire upon one's brakes. By having greater tension the sudden application of one's brakes has a tendency to abruptly stop the car. This in turn helps one to avoid accidents, an important factor when one considers the number we have in one year. The easing itself is more flexible and less susceptible to stone brushes, at the same time themileage is not reduced in the least. So satisfactory is the balloon today that nearly all the new car designs come equipped with them.

Res., HUm. 3857-J See Me About $5.00 A Week Plan The twenty-fourth Anniversary of the Supreme Camp of the American Woodmen and the third anniversary of the Los Angeles camps was celebrated last Sunday afternoon at Phillips Temple C. M. E. Chutech, and was witnessed by a large crowd of Woodmen and friends of the order. A well arranged programme setting forth the accomplishments of the order and its auxiliaries was very appropriately carried out. The program which included addresses by several prominent officials of the orler, was interspersed with several musical numbers chief among which were solos by H. Atwell Rose on the violin, and Mrs. Bertha Spruill. H. W. Watkins, Clerk of Camp No. 2, spoke on "What our local camps are doing and their influence in the Community." He recited the achievements of the local camps; told of the sick and burial claims paid and of the contributions to charity. Next, Mrs. Eve West. Chairman of the Sick Committee told of the work of the Green Cross Nurse Corps and its work in caring for the sick and in relieving distress. The corps which is composed of about eighteen ladies, clad in immaculate white uniform and distinguished by a green cross on the headpiece and arm, presented a very attractive appearance. Mrs Cassie J. Smith spoke on "The Bishops' Church, the Woodmen of Tomorrow." Thi department is the Juvenile, and is composed of children from the areas of six to fourteen. Mrs Smith made a splendid address touching upon the virtues of this auxiliary. Eli W. Kyle spoke on the history and development of the American Wordmen. His address contained much valuable information concerning the development of the order which is not generally known even by the members, and was pleasing as well as instructive. Ben H. Graham, state supervisor in California, and organizer of the camps, spoke on "Fraternal Insurance, its Field and What it is accomplishment". Mr. Graham was introduced by Dr. B. L. Boswell, who acted as Master of Ceremonies and was accorded the Supreme honors. He is considered an authority on Fraternal insurance, and the forceful and logi- And of responsibility The summons then would shirk By limping explanations that Their "brakes refused to work"!

He may not make the crossing, but For sense he makes the grade. cai manner in which he presented his subject was such as to convince the most skeptical. The audience was held spellbound at his superb delivery, and his address was often punctuated with prolonged applause. Following the exercise, a special disjunction was added those wishing to become members of the order, and more than fifty applications for membership were made. Phillips Temple Choir rendered several difficult anthems and these were thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
