GIVES AWAY HIS POT OF GOLD (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, Jan. 2—The World of this city tells the interesting story of Solomon Harper, a colored ex-service man who struggled through seven years of penury to partial success and now has decided to donate what he gained to the aid of other unfortunate ex-soldiers. Harper returned from the war physically impaired and without funds for a start in life. He surmounted obstacles of all kinds, walking hundreds of miles, sleeping under subway steps and living off crusts to educate himself at various technical schools. For six years things went bad and then there was a turning point. Last year. The world surmounted Harper's problems. Coolidge. From that time on things seemed to get better and Harper was recently awarded an adjusted service certificate, valued at $1,221. Now he proposes to give this as the basis of a fund which will enable other veterans to make a similar use of their bonus awards. ```markdown ``` Indict Four For Clarksdale Lynching Indict Four For Clarksdale Lynching (By the Associated Negro Press) Clarkside, Miss., Dec. 28.—Four indictments were returned last Thursday by the Coahoma County grand jury which had convened in special session to investigate the lynching Saturday night of Lindsey Coleman. Coleman was lynched after he had been acquitted in court. The specific charges against them were not disclosed. Men indicted were the Sheriff S. W. Glass and three of his deputies. H. H. Hopson, a wealthy plantation owner, has been appointed in his place. Four other men are in jail awaiting a hearing on charges of murder. The sheriff is accused of failing to give protection to the victim. Former Bosses Back Accused Man New York, Jan. 2.—Although police claim to have found on James Garnes $124 which Margaret Burton, a white waitress, said he had stolen from her pocketbook in a restaurant, two former assistant secretaries of the United States Treasury, Jurett Shouse and Edward Clifford, have asked that the case be investigated because of their belief in Garnes' honesty. They claim he was employed as a guard in the treasury department while they were in office and that he often had opportunities to be dishonest, but never was. His record was without a blemish. He is under indictment on a charge of grand larceny. NOTICE EXTRAORDINARY I, Frank James, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church of Santa Monica and Corresponding Secretary of the Tri-County District Association, do hereby offer every possible apology to the Second Baptist Church, the Empress of all Institutions owned or controlled by our group on the Coast, for my failure to notify the churches of the Tri-County District of the opening exercises in which all churches of the W. B. A. were to participate. I gave a letter from Mrs. M. R. Cavinsa requiring this much of me. I assure the church now that any failure was not due to deliberate refusal or negligence. The letter was gathered with several pieces of Yuletide greetings, put aside for future consideration and was not brought to my intelligence until it was too late. KU KLUX KLAN AND MISCELLANEOUS In Kansas the N. A. A. C. P. successfully opposed granting of a State Charter to the Klan. Anti-Intermarriage laws were killed in Ohio, Michigan and Iowa, through N. A. A. C. P. action. Showing of the "Birth of a Nation" was forever prohibited in West Virginia. Dr. W. A. Plecker, of Virginia, was dismissed from his honorary post in the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor, after the N. A. A. C. P. called official attention to the anti-Negro propaganda he was issuing. The Amy Spingarn prizes for Art and Literature, given through the Crisis, attracted so much work and the awards created so much public interest that Mrs. Spingarn has paid over to the N. A. A. C. P. $800 for the prize contests of 1926. In Denver, 39 States and 75 cities were represented at the 16th Annual Conference of the N. A. A. C. P. A Word For My Friend Editor Of The Calif. Fagle, Los Angeles, Cal. SIR: I trust you will publish in the next issue of your valuable paper the following statement: Giving to the public in general a concise, true and clear knowledge of the character of my very dear friend the late Neal L. Pearson, with whom I was very closely associated in business. I wish to say that with all my large and varied career I have never had the good fortune to be identified with a more honorable, straight-forward man. He was a true practitioner of that much misunderstood word charity, he being charitable in every way. He had a clear, true conception of principles and was fair, even generous to his customers, and strictly careful in his accounts with his numerous creditors, all of whom have come forward generously, with letters of sympathy and offers of assistance to his widow, who has determined to continue the business as started by her husband. Mr. Pearson was well and very favorably known to many white and colored people, who universally mourn and regret his early demise. I am free to state that his business is in a favorable condition and I believe under Mrs. Pearson's supervision will continue to expand as it deserves to. The store was contracted to be thoroughly remodeled with new fixtures and front, prior to Mr. Pearson's illness. These improvements will be made at once. Thanking you, Dear Sir, for your courtesy, I have the honor to remain Very sincerely yours, M. L. Starin. SUSPECTED OF DROWNING WIFE (By the Associated Negro Press) Paris, Ark., Dec. 29—Although he says his wife was drowned in a well at his home near this town and notified police to that effect, "Boss" Armstrong has been arrested on suspicion. When the body of Mrs. Armstrong was removed from the well, it was discovered that she had several bruises on her head which suggested foul play. Battle Over Extradition of "Key" Man Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 28th. -Authorities of North Carolina and Pennsylvania are still battling over the custody of Sandy Husser, in jail here, but wanted in North Carolina for violating the prohibition law. Two requisitions for the extradition of Husser have been issued by the governor of North Carolina, but these are being stubbornly fought by Husser's counsel. It is claimed that the man is wanted more because of information he has connected with the violation of the lour laws by prominent whites in Raleigh than on his own account. A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JANUARY 8, 1926 Great Outpouring Of People At New Second Baptist Church Just where all the people came from it is hard to say, but in numbers not unlike the number "John Saw", all roads led to the New Second Baptist Temple on last Sunday. It was the opening day and all vied with each other to be present at roll call, when the first voice was spoken in this wonderful and vast church edifice. To the pastor, Dr. T. L. Griffith, went the honor of preaching the first sermon in the new church. It was indeed a well merited and worthwhile honor, for the man under whose leadership this Temple arose, to have the first word on this occasion. The people who turned out to these services could not begin to get in, and it is estimated there came at least 5,000 persons for the morning service. Sunday evening another great crowd was present, when Mayor G. F. Crysner Supervisor J. H. Bean and F. R. Feittske of the Chamber of Commerce brought greetings. Monday evening the Western Baptist banner night, when a great crowd turned out to hear a sermon preached by former pastor, Dr. H. D. Prowd. And on each day of the week, special nights have been arranged. On the evening of the fifteenth a monster meeting in honor of the new church will be staged by the business men of the city. Steal Year's Savings From Aged Woman (By the Associated Negro Press) Woodbury, N. J., Dec. 29th.-Police are looking for two young colored men who film-flammated an aged colored woman out of $55, all she possessed of a camera, saving. She is a movie Wicks, 70 years old, of 34 Nelson avenue, this town. Evidently the film-flammers knew the woman had a little money. When she left her home Christmas Eve afternoon she was met by one of the men, who inquired about a street in the town, and he walked beside her as the second fellow approached. The latter suddenly stooped and picked up a pocketbook, apparently bulging with money. Then he assumed the role of friend to the other man. "I'll tell you what we'll do," said the first. "Since we are all in the find we will divide it up, but let's pool what we have." While it was a ridiculous proposition, Mrs. Wicks agreed, went home, obtained the $55, and accompanied the two to Camden, twelve miles away, where one of the men desired to visit the office of his employer. They arrived in Camden, but just where Mrs. Wicks doesn't know, one of the men took her money and the other also produced some bills. Apparently they counted out a very large sum. One said it was $2,200 and that each would get a third. Mrs. Wicks, with 'visions of unexpected wealth, readily accepted a pocketbook which bulged and apparently contained many bills. They excused themselves for a moment and Wicks opened the pocketbook. Wicks opened the pocketbook and found nothing but pieces of newspaper cut to the size of bills. WOULD RATHER BE A SLAVE (By the Associated Negro Press) Goldsboro, N. C., Dec. 29th—the oldest person in this city is James Allen who was born December 15, 1809, and is therefore going into his 117th year. He was born a slave and owned by a man who owned about 150 other slaves. In an interview with a reporter for the local daily the old man expressed great regret that the old slavery days are gone, explaining: "I'd rather be back like I was then, where I had three square meals a day and someone to look after like I am now. When I used to get sick the white folks would send old Doctor Faison to look after me, and now when I get sick I have to do the best I can." Miss Addie Hutcherson Who was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bass and neice at dinner Thursday evening, December 31, 1925 Miss Hutcherson is quite popular among the young set of the city and is an S'25 graduate. The evening was enjoyed by all. Do You Want To Live In The River Bottom? We can't go into a white restaurant in this city, and have a meal. We can't go into a theatre and buy a decent seat. We can't go into a dance hall, a skating rink, or a bath house. Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese, and foreigners of exery description are admitted and we are rejected. Like the real fools that we are, we have sat and allowed all of these discriminations to be heaped one after another upon us, until now Culver, the founder of Culver City speaking in the Los Angeles' Examiner says in substance, that they will now proceed to try in Los Angeles, what has failed even in the part of Dixie, a CITY ZONING LAW, that will put the Negroes in the part of the city in which whites don't want to live, and keep him out of the parts, in which the whites do want to live. This sounds like Culver has lots of nerve. But it doesn't take nerve to mistreat a race so unorganized that it will continue to jazz and Charleston, while eleven of its self respecting families are fighting for the privilege of remaining in homes from which they have been ordered to move because of their color, as in the case of the eleven families in the Hooper and Sons Tract. It doesn't take nerve to plan the utter subjection of a race that will sit still and let an older couple of that race, the wife and invalid, the husband confined in Norwalk, because of the strain on his mind, be driven, without a cent of compensation, from the home for which they toiled in their youth, for no other reason than because they are not allowed to be of Mr. and Mrs. Long of 41st Street. Cowards would attack a race as unorganized as this, and cowards are only salvation. Organization is our only salvation. Organization of our neighborhoods, that rakes and combs our hobes and leaves not one loyal heart out of the fight. On next Tuesday night, January 12th, at 8 P. M., at the Independent Church, a meeting will be held to organize an East Side Neighborhood Improvement Association. The object of which will be to make our neighborhood a better, cleaner and more moral neighborhood and to fight residential restriction with our last breath. Let all regardless of where you live be present at this meeting. Excellent speakers. Good music. Don't forget the date, January 12th, Tuesday night, Independent Church. Come early. PROMINENT MINISTER VISITING CITY Reverend J. C. C. Owens, D. D., and his brother-in-law, R. S. Johnson of Kansas City, Kans, are spending the winter in Los Angeles, as the guests of Mrs. Ella G.

JENNINGS EN TERTAINS IDLE HOUR CLUB AT DINNER The Idle Hour Club celebrated the Christmas season in the form of a family dinner at the palatial home of Atty, and Mrs. E. C. Jennings, on East Adams Street. The table extended through the dining room and living room, while the ten children of the club occupied a table in the library. There were twenty-six seated around the beautifully decorated tables. After the dinner a very interesting program was presented, each family being represented on the program. Atty. Jennings made his first appearance in the musical world by playing a selection on the piano. Mrs. L. M. Blodgett, acting as Mistress of Ceremonies presented the President, Mrs. Mildred Williams, who made a pleasing speech and presented each member with a token. At the conclusion of the program, presente exchanged by the members. The Idle Hour Club is one of the oldest and aristocratic clubs of the city. Annual Survey, The Associated Negro Press 1925 By and all, Colored America has more than held its own, in the Year of Our Lord, 1925. Fighting against odds, as always, the race has had some valuable re-inforcements, and more than at any time in the history of the country, since the days of the Civil War, the problems of the Negro have become the problems of America! True, some of the things that have brought the problem to consideration have been left-handed, but, once to the front, results have proved that after all, in the deep recesses, the heart of America beats right. There must, however, be this warning: Progress does not just happen, and there must be a constant "pursuit of happiness", through organization, reading, travel, understanding and adequate financing. Segregation For the time being, segregation, in its multifarious ramifications, has been, and will continue to be, the biggest fight of Colored America. Born of the South, segregation has grown until today it has at least a temporary foothold in every section of the United States. The white South has so insisted on segregation in every thing that, in that section, it has become a fixed practice that it is very difficult to permit and enable protest, but certainly not without silent indignation of those who know the injustices, and are by force of circumstances made to suffer the handicaps and hardships of it! On the other hand, there are Negroes, South, who have benefited by some forms of segregation, and such of them as have come North with the segregation mental complex have, by one means and another sought to bring ideas of segregation into communities where, hitherto, it was little known. This has been especially true in the matter of schools where some have contended for them "because it will give more employment to our people." There are many others from the South, however, who have brought with them a far different attitude, and while they endured conditions of segregation in the South, they stoutly oppose any furthering of it North. The white southerner, persistent in his contentions until death, continues to move North, along with the migrant Negroes, and brings with him a propaganda of determination that has unquestionably had its effects in the most liberal communities. Housing The acuteness of segregation in 1925 has been found in the field of Housing. There has been a dangerous tenseness developed in many, heretofore, peaceful and generously inclined communities, because, perchance, Colored Americans have purchased properties in certain so-called "white neighborhoods". The Associated Negro Press has given considerable study and observation to this trend of American conditions. One of the greatest dangers for future well-being is in the fact that many white people who have long since been known to be friendly to the race, have become much concerned about inroads on realty possession in better neighborhoods. Many of these so concerned are large employers of Negro laborers. Some of them frankly state that "while we wish the Negro to have all his rights, and to be given justice, we do not wish him to live next to us, because he depreciates property." There are others who leave out the economic feature, and who maintain that "Colored people should live among themselves". Some of these who thus express themselves, are zealous in helping to maintain Negro charities, and lay long claim to the faith of Jesus Christ. Any arrangement, or truce, now in the adjustment of housing matters, will, of necessity, be only temporary. Time will continue to be the great adjuster in the future, as in the past. White neighborhoods will become black neighborhoods, and black neighborhoods will again become white neighborhoods, according to the world old law of supply and demand. In every big city in America, from New York through Chicago to Los Angeles, and on down through the South, Negroes have owned property that today has values of billions rather than millions. They could not hold it against the march of business and the demands of capital. The shifting of racial populations in Chicago, New York, Detroit, Cleve- $2.00 THE YEAR No. 31 L. A. COMMENTS By: W. J. WHEATON A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 1026 Our wish for all. The outgoing year has been momentous, so far as the American Negro is concerned. Many things have happened, some good, some not so good. Intolerance is growing less as intelligence increases. The PROBLEM confronting the United States of America today is not so much the education of the NEGRO as the education of the illiterate whites. With their education concerning the true meaning of the Constitution, a document that four fifths of them could not give the first line, and the correct history of our country is taught in the public schools, intolerance will be an obsolete word. Judge Lynch has not ceased entirely his pernicious activities, but they have lessened a bit. It is to be hoped that with the dawn of the incoming year every Negro in the United States will take a serious view of the obstacles confronting the race and give his individual support to the effort made to educate them. A Pittsburg, Pa., Judge, James B. Drew, refused to send Sandy Husey (Negro) back to Winston-Salem, N. C., because he said Husey would be tried exclusively by a jury of white men. The Governor of North Carolina hadquested the police to Husey, who was charged with selling liquor. Strange it may seem but the name of no Negro ever gets in the panel box in the city of San Francis- (Continued on page 6) land, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Kansas City and many other cities affected by migration, has been notable, almost miraculous in some instances. There are two ways proposed that may be of some benefit at this time. All of the cities have sections of old buildings that may be torn down, and upon the sites, modern structures erected. This is now being done among whites in New York, Chicago, and other cities. It may well be done in generally accepted, well-chosen "Negro localities". This in no sense is an argument against the inherent right of Negroes to buy and sell in any locality; these matters, in the last analysis, rest with individuals, who are supposed to use discretion, as well as have ambition. There have in a number of localities been developed some very splendid suburban sites, where certain restrictions in building, as in the case of whites, have made neighborhoods delightful to lock upon. Segregation of housing schools is always followed by segregation of schools. The suggestion often comes from both sides. In some of the communities, ostensible segregation exists; in others, pioneer citizens, aided by those who have different theories, black and white, have halted the movement for the time being. In the present temper of the American white mind, aroused by direct and indirect propaganda of enemies of justice, Colored America must either submit to further segregation or contend for equal justice. There are some who seem willing to submit; the vast majority wish to contend in varying forms and ways. It is patent that in many places where, years back, civil rights, in public places, were accorded without question, today they are denied in one form and another. The exceptions are in those communities where Negro citizenship, by votes and leadership, commands respectful consideration. The development of Negro education in the South has been one of the particularly encouraging features of a more enlightened South on Negro education. North Carolina, in particular, has been outstanding in its encouragement of Negro education, both by the state and private means, Kittrell College having this year come into possession of a million dollars from the Duke fortune, with additional amounts, a notable gift being $25,000 from Prof. William Pierson, successful educator and business man of Durham. All racial schools continue to have large attendance, and the great colleges and universities of the North, records in practically all show increased racial enrollment. Political In the South, except in some sections on school bonds, the Negro continues to be a victim of political disfranchisement. There are some whites and some blacks, South, who say they expect again to see the day when the Negro citizens will be granted the right to vote.

The vast Auditorium, where the annual Grand Opera season is staged, was crowded with an audience of five thousand, the largest to which Hayes has ever sung, the two races being represented in nearly equal numbers. HAW THORNE LAWNDALE GORDON MANOR TRACT GARDENA MONETA The singer gave a remarkable program, leading off with a number of the great classics and closing with a group of Negro Spirituals. He won his audience completely with the first number and held it with increasing power to the very end. At the conclusion he was thronged by hundreds eager to say a word of appreciation. The audience reacted as that the event was triumphant of the highest order. The public and the musical critics alike were most enthusiastic in praise of both the singer's voice and the perfection of his art. The accompaniment by William Lawrence also received the highest praise. Many of Atlanta's most prominent music lovers were sponsors of the concert, including the head of the biggest bank, the editors of two of the great daily papers, a well-known millionaire, and many others—both men and women. The colored section of the audience, filling half the vast arena was equally representative. Many prominent colored people occupied boxes, among them being Dr. and Mrs. S. Davage, Dr. and Mrs. H. Devilick, Mrs. R. Butler, J. Davis, Dr. and Mrs. H. R. Butler, and Mrs. T. J. Ferguson, M. John Hope, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Holey of Tuskegee, Mrs. Rayfield of Birmingham and Chaplain A. M.

ASSOCIATE AGENTS 3617 CENTRAL AVENUE HUMBOLT 3230 In many of the largest cities of the North the Negro has attained a larger share of political power. This is true under the Republicans in Chicago, and Illinois, where the leadership of Edward H. Wright has reached unquestioned standards; and in New York, under Ferdinand G. Morton, of through the powerful Taransee organization, Monten was able to function with success for Colored America. Nationally, Colored Americas continues to hold a truly pathetic position in politics. There are individual Negroes who have measured influence with some individuals in national political life, but there are neither individual Negroes, nor is there political organization among Negroes in a National way, sufficiently strong to force real attention on subjects affecting the Negro. In this connection, the recent message to Congress, from President Coolidge, has created more adverse comment than that of any message by a President in recent years. The majority of Negroes believe that he stated his position in a manner that will not redound to the larger helpfulness, and his words fail to carry the proper constructiveness and force of executive authority. Commerce And Industry Colored America has forged ahead in the business world during 1925, favorable reports come from all parts of the country. The number of failures have been fewer than heretofore, and there has been a commendable increase in co-operative progress. This includes co-operation, local and otherwise. A number of splendid partnership and-new corporations have been formed, that promise splendid results for the future. In some places there has been co-operative buying, with good results. In The Higher Arts Along the lines of Music and Literature, in particular, and too, in painting and sculpture and other fine arts, Colored America is making progress that is beginning to get the general attention of America. Various national organizations are fortunate in developing the means to award those of the highest achievements in various lines, and this is not only developing a fine spirit of competition, but is bringing to the attention of the general public, men and women who have been more or less in obscurity. Aided by the inspiration of success, many of them are going on to higher planes of development and usefulness. "Negro Spirituals" have taken a most popular, and probably permanent place, in the field of American music, both within and without the race. Practically all of the he leading artists of both races have selections of Negro spirituals, or many of them, have selections from some of our modern composers, who have caught a quality of sound expression that few can equal, and none surpass. Colored America may well merit a place in the sun along the lines of music development, and there is very gen- Religion Colored America continues to be religious, to build churches, which in the city are taking the form of community service centers; continues to believe in God, and yet, because of certain experiences with the attitude of some white Christians, there has been developed a "school of crysics" among Negroes, that furnishes rather biting and weird comments on the value of religion. Nevertheless, the great mass of people believe in the teachings of Christianity, and their devotion to the cause is one of the most commentable, as well as one of the most dependable, traits of the race. Colored America takes to athletics and outdoor life. In all of the various outdoor games: football, baseball, tennis, and the like, the race continues to produce many who are worthy of serious consideration. There are those who are quietly at work hoping for the time to come when all entries in the various fields of sports will be accepted on merit, but this time has not yet arrived. It may, however, be nearer than ordinarily supposed. There are many who love hunting, rowing, hiking, and the call of the great outdoors. All of this is conducive to better health conditions, and there is hope that thousands in the congested cities may more and more become interested in God's great outdoors. Crime Negro crime has been considered from a more impartial viewpoint in recent years, and is formally the case. The public got their opinions of the criminal tendencies of the Negro-so-called, from the big headlines of daily newspapers. Incessant effort, North and South, has practically done away with the big headlines, because of race, and all criminals, regardless of race are treated alike. It has been found by surveys, impartially conducted, that they are "more sinned against than sinning", and there is a. larger disposition to mete out even handed justice. There have been many deaths of well known and useful people. There are three types here mentioned. Charles Stewart of Chicago, who for years formed a helpful link between the race and daily newspapers; Frank L. Gillespie of Chicago, who was the founder and president of the first old line life insurance company, outcome of the migration North; and Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta and Washington, who held unusual and unique contacts with the National Political field among Republicans. What Of 1926? The Year of 1926 is rich in promise in all lines of activity. In business, literature, industry, farming, and all lines where there are productive possibilities, Colored America has a chance. The race must be mindful of the eternal opposition, but the "right thinking white people" are increasing in number, and they, for the most part, have the courage of their convictions. North and South. Where, yet, they have not gone the courage, but the convictions, even this, is to be appreciated. The better man, of white America, is the better officer, the mind of oppression is the depression, within and without the group, is being shoved to the discard where it rightly belongs. The future of Colored America, as well as white America, after all, is in the change and favorable sentiment of the younger people who have not been sulted by the old time hates and prejudices which have been such a bane in the progress of the Republic along racial lines. Young white people and young black people may well join hands, as they bomb memorials in the North, and hang them in general advancement of human relationships, and the amelioration of all wrongs and grievances. Common sense and mutual understanding will always find a way out of the gravest situations. Long live America, an America of honor, Justice, and fair play; an America unafraid of the possibilities of equal opportunity, an America sportsmanlike, rather than petty, in dealing with all fellow Americans.

J., Dec. 7—Mrs. Flora Mills, one of the last survivors of American slave days, is proud of her ability as a seamstress. She is now 94 years old, and her sight is getting dim, but she boasts that"I may not see the needle, but I can feel where it goes." During the Civil War she made uniforms for the confederate soldiers at Monroe, Louisiana. She is hazy concerning dates, but she relates some fine yarns about "the South before the war". From a cozy armchair in her daughter's home at 452 Berkley Street, she tells over and over tales of her slave days.

Upton While he was receiving passengers at the Santa Fe Depot, New Year's Eve, Wm. Brown, better known as Bumping Brown, was shot in the right breast by an unknown person celebrating the New Year from the top of the Santa Fe bridge, but for the fact that he had on a heavy brown overcoat was all that saved him from an untimely death. The overcoat being a very thick one threw the bullet at his feet, and he picked it up; he plans to have a match charm made of the flat piece of lead. A switchman was shot at the same time and seriously injured. — 00— A Salt Lake porter, name unknown, was held up by highwaymen and severely beaten at 7th and Alamanda Sts. last week. The City would do well to give this section of the town more protection, as it is a regular mecca for thugs, preying on porters who have to go to the Porter's car. W. H. Walker lost his purse in Mr. Taylor's office in the S. P. yaris, containing $102 in cash and two Pullman checks already indorsed, while serving on the election committee last week. The room was full of porters getting their checks at the time, if anyone found it or hears any information that will lead to it's return, please notify Mr. Taylor. 00— With the election of the employees representatives in full sway, this district is expected to pole a large vote and every effort is being made to elect the candidate nominated in the primaries, the last vote must be cast by the 12th. If it's a raise and better working conditions you want, cast your vote. J. L. Hill, Ass't. Mgr. of the Angelus Funeral Parlors is now reaping a big harvest, gathering up the victims from the Holidays, when met by the writer, he was on his way to get Bumping Brown, but Brown's time had not come yet, so he politely left him one of his cards. WOMEN'S LIBERTY CLUB HOLDS INSTALLATION Installation of officers of the Women's Liberty Club was held at the residence of Mrs. J. T. Ambrose, 1771 E.

Fletcher, Secy.; Mrs. S. Hankins, Rec. Secy.; Mrs. Worthem, Chaplain; Mrs. Roberta Woods, The occasion; Mrs. O. Bell, Custodian. The occasion was marked by music and song, after which the Past President spoke on the subject: "Are we Marching?" which was very much enjoyed. An elaborate luncheon was served. The next meeting will be held the 2nd Wednesday in January, 1926. 00- While laying for Xmas, Johnny Moore was sent on a wild goose chase in the wilds of Arizona; tough luck, Buddy. Mrs. George Irvine and Mrs. Sophie Mickens, from Columbus, Ohio, have been visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Edward W. M. Gary, now residing in their new residence at 1320 E. 47th St. Mr. Gary formerly lived in Central Gardens but disposed of that property for a large consideration, it being bought for industrial purposes. 00— During the five days the St. Louis line was discontinued, the porters who were held over in St. Louis had a wonderful time and have nothing but praise for the Y. M. C. A. Those who were in bed at this institution Christmas morning were awakened and served a breakfast, fit for a king free of charge, this was the Christmas greetings of Mr. Craft in charge. 00— While laying over five days in St. Louis, some of the boys made short trips. J. Holmes went to New York on slow 6; J. W. Richardson to Chicago and Wm. Brown to Cincinnati. Sunday, January 3rd was one of the biggest movements this year on account of the many people who were in Los Angeles for the Holidays going home. There were 86 extra cars besides the regular trains, every porter who could be found used, and all crews coming into Los Angeles, Sunday morning, were doubled out that night. E. Rodgers, 670½ E. Santa Barbara St., has returned to work after a long absence on account of an operation, the boys will be glad to see Mr. Rodgers back on the job again as he is well thought of by the men in this district. Bob Fischer, 639 E. Santa Barbara is still on the sick list at this writing. Mr. A. Noel who now resides in Watts, has again started in completing the Los Angeles Pullman Porters Band, and has some very interesting news to tell the boys who are interested. The Band instruments are on the way and it looks like music will soon be heard on Central Ave. Meetings will be held at the Y. M. C. A., 9th and Hemlock, January 18th, 19th, and 20th at 11 A. M. Be sure and come to one or all of these meetings. — 00 — Porter H. A. J. Prescott the man who caused so much confusion on the Padre by agitating to run around, has gone back where he belongs, on the Owl. In the course of five months he has been regular on the Padre, Lark and Owl. If Mr. C. Lincoln's office was up for bid he would bid in on that If You Fail To Read THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE You May Never Know It Happened In the Pullman News we note a wonderful picture of the Yard Foreman, Mr. Joe Evans, a great advocate of Safety First, and two employees posed in the middle of the railroad track in back of the Lark. We look closely but could not observe the Blue Flag, although we are sure Mr. Evans had it up somewhere. Nevertheless, going to the fact that Mr. Evans is one of the high moguls in Safety First, it would have made a great improvement in the cut with the blue flag in sight. The Pullman Co. comes forth with an offer to its employees only, to buy stock. This plan enables the employee to spread his payments over 41 months and obtain stock of the company at an outlay of $121.78 a share, 40 monthly payments of $3 each from February, 1926 to May, 1929, $120.00, final payment in June, 1929, $1.78, total $121.78. Now, all you thrifty men step in and buy some stock that always holds its value. It's a good plan to save money. 00- Buy the California Eagle for the latest in Railroad News. 00- LEGAL POINTS AND POINTERES By: Atty. Calvin W. Murdock 1400 Central Ave. Q. What is considered a business day? A. Every day except Sundays, holidays and Saturdays until noon are business days. Q. Is an employee working for a corporation in any particular line of work entitled to compensation for improvements invented by him on machinery with which he is working? A. Yes. If he is employed generally, and not specifically to make improvements on machinery, etc., he is exclusively entitled to any patent he may obtain and should be compensated therefor. Q. If a customer, with a seller's consent takes goods from a counter, is a sale implied? A. Yes. The sale or agreement of sale is implied from the conduct of the parties therefore, a sale for a reasonable price is implied. Q. Is it usury if a person sells, undesiredly, a contract, upon which there is a balance due of $325 payable in installments, and you should sell the contract for $150; in view of the fact that the discount exceeds the lawful interest rate? A. No. A sale of the contract would be analogous to the sale of a negotiable instrument, which the law permits to be discounted at a greater rate than lawful interest. Q. An accident occurred in a Pullman car, which was being switched by the railroad company's engine and someone injured in the car. Who would be the party to start suit against? The R. R. Company or the Pullman Company? A. Come to my office, and I will gladly discuss the matter with you. Q. Mr. Murdock: A seller contracted with a buyer to sell some goods which were to be delivered in the future f. o. b., New York City. The buyer refused to accept same upon delivery, and the seller then put the goods away in a warehouse and sued the buyer for the full contract price. May he recover? A. Nd. The title of the goods had not passed, and the seller was entitled to recover damages only would be the difference between the contract price and the present market value of the goods. WATTS WATTS On last Saturday evening, the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Taylor was the scene of a beautiful surprise birthday party, given by Mrs. Taylor in honor of Mr. Taylor's birthday. The guests assembled at the home about 9:30 P. M. and at the hour of 10 P. M. Mrs. Taylor arrived in company with Mr. Larson.

SILVER FOXES START PROGRAM FOR 1326 Now that Christmas is over and the "Cake Katers" have finished their first payment on the presents, for their respective shebias, the Silver Foxes will attempt right here to announce a few of their intentions for the present year. Say folks, now did you like the little affair at the Humming Bird on the 28th of last month? Red hot, wasn't it? Well, you haven't seen anything yet — because the club is now preparing to turn out 'en masse', for a little celebration at the only dance hall in town that you've never been in. Oh yes — that's one you don't know about. The celebration is caused by the securing of our much, longed for charter. The Hall I spoke of is _____ on well, wait and see. Anyone, it is a new one and this is going to be some party. Then a little later on, we are planning to give you a better time than you had at Blancheard's early in the fall. But you'll hear more of that later on. Meanwhile, keep tab on this column next week and you'll know where the "Charter Dance" is going to be. Mr. Wesley Harrison, retired president of the Foxes has been ill for quite a while and the club misses him very much. Mr. Louis Cole, Secretary of Building of the Fox Club entertained the visitors at the New Bronx Hotel on Sunday, January 3rd with his wonderful vocal powers, accompanied by Ms. LaVere Floyd at the piano.

PICO & CENTRAL SPARKS ---By--- N. M. THOMPSON New Year's Eve witnessed one of the many holiday party dancettes, when "Little Farine" the juvenile comedian of "Our Gang Comedies," honored the distinguished members of the Muskeeteers Clubs at party which was given at the home of the comedian on E. 33rd street. One of the outstanding features of the party was the brief intermission which was requested by the mother of the comedian and which was followed by aayer during the passing of the old year into the new year; dancing was resumed until 2:30. It is stated that a jovial good time was had by all. 0—0 "Adam and Eve were our first bookkeepers. They used the loose leaf system." 0—0 Miss Florence Prince, charming daughter of Rev. Wm. Prince of Pasadena was the week-end guest of Miss Esther Louise Beck, at 975 South Berrendo. 0—0 It's a shame the way some people speak about their high blood pressure as if they thought it indicated superiority of some kind. 0—0 Mr. Haven Johnson rambled over the pianoforte of the Ampico from the eve of 1925 to the dawn of 1926 at the home of Mr. Masio Taylor on West 35th St., where a New Year's Eve struggle prevailed. Getting down to brass tacks and copper pennies, a drummer is the only person (as far as we know) that can beat his way through this world and get away with it. Isn't that right? 0—0 According to Mr. Thomas W. Myles, Jr., President of the famous Musketeers Club, The Musketeers are contemplating on honoring the charming members of the Royal Dodecagenian Art and Literary Club at an appointed Lunchroom in the near future. Wel, get away! 0—0 "Styles are certainly hard to keep pace with. A burghar went into a shoe store down the street yesterday and got a sock on the nose." 0—0 It is stated that Master Jimmie Clark, a year old Charleston wizward of this city, did that thing called the Charleston, and everything that went with it at the Lowes State Theater last week. 0—0 Next we will be hearing of retired barbers which will be the result of the many babbled haired victims in this wide, wide world. 0—0 Pockets in the legs of these extremely wide Oxford bags wouldn't be a bad idea, as it would save the wear and tear of the pockets on the coats. When Mr. Russel Jones took Miss Weigela Bates by the hand and said, "Let's go find a preacher," he sang that little song entitled, "Yes Sir, That's My Baby!" 0-0 Miss Gladys Greenway wants to know who blows the "Cape Born?" So do we. 0-0 A. C. Bergamene says, "A Good Chef Cook gets more than a College Professor for the simple reason that a lot more people take his courses." 0-0 The new, palatial Bronx Hotel indicates the fact that our Colored tourists will know where they can stay when they arrive in the Angel City. 0-0 "More Baloena," said the butcher, as he threw another dog into the meat grinder. A warm argument seems to be indicative of the atmosphere concerning the comparison of the Dales with the Sweet Sixteens. Well, in a case of this kind the former should be given an equal chance, and all hard feelings should be kept down until then. Otherwise it would indicate jealousy. Miss Lulu Hall, a recent visitor of Denver, Colo., is the house guest of De, and Mrs. Foster E. Driver in their new bungalow at 1170 E. 48th St. PUPILS OF HAZEL GOTTCHALK GIVE HOLIDAY PROGRAM On last Sunday afternoon, Piano Pupils of Hazel Gottschalk gave a very delightful program.

Mr. Williams, who is known as one of the most foremost silver ocraters and historians, told his hearers that slavery should never be forgotten in the minds of black Americans. He said that it was one of the most dominatable organizations that ever touched the instinct of humanity, for it was slavery that caused our forefathers to trod the Western Hemisphere without his own free will but, "lest we forget", lest we forget. In conclusion the, speaker said, "with all these hardships since the abolition of slavery sixty three years ago, we have made a very rapid progress. We have controlled large concerns, banks, department stores, factories, industries and insurance of all kinds. Among the participants on the program were Mr. Duncan who read a paper on the life of Lincoln, Mr. Pierce who rendered a violin solo accompanied by Prof. John Gray. GREAT CROWDS PRESENT AT MALLISTER'S FUNERAL People of all walks of life attended the funeral of Mr. James A. McAllister who passed away at his home on East 21st Street. Services were held at the Channel of Conner and Johnson, 17th and Naomi Streets, and it is said was one of the largest funerals conducted for some time. The Elks were in charge of the ceremonies and turned out in full force in true Elk style. Mr. McAllister, though classed with the underworld, was known by everybody for his affable and happy manner. It was oftened remarked that this man never had anything but a smile to greet you with. He was generous to a fault and no man or woman in distress ever appealed to him in vain. It is but natural that a man with such trials as his would gather to himself a large cortex of friends and they all turned out to pay in silence and sorrow their last respects. During his long illness many friends and acquaintances in all walks of life and nationalities visited his bedside and truly "Mae" as he was directed by all even in death, received the honor that a kindly disposition and unselfish devotion has brought to miss among all who knew him. He leaves a wife, brother, and a host of friends who mourn his loss. ST.

PASADENA Pasadena was the host to the largest crowd in the 37 years of consecutive presenting of the Floral Pageant on last New Year's day. The occasion was marred by an accident in the collapse of one of the viewing stands which precipitated hundred of people to the ground resulting in the death of several, the serious injury of a great many besides minor injuries inflicted upon scores. It is estimated that more than 500,000 people witnessed this gorgeous spectacle. Rev. W. D. Carter, together with the greater part of his congregation journeyed to Los Angeles, Sunday afternoon to attend the opening of Second Baptist Church. Dr. Carter was the speaker for the afternoon to an extremely large audience. Mr. and Mrs. Williams of Oak Knoll Avenue are confined to their home through illness. The Banquet held in the Social Parlor of Friendship Baptist was the instigation of many new thoughts and ideas advanced, especially those by the pastor who outlined a greater work to be accomplished through the concerted efforts of the men of the Church. Plans will be immediately put in execution that results may be northcoming. 0- The officials of Friendship Church claim an attendance of over 3000 persons during the month of December or practically 890 each Sunday, which argues ween for an interesting pew, despite the fact that many churches claim such a slight attendance at the Sunday evening services. 0- The unveiling of the Pipe Organ at Friendship Baptist Church on Monday evening, January 11th, marks another history making epoch in the new church, when an elaborate program will be presented. Mr. and Mrs. W. Matt Solomon have removed to Los Angeles for an indefinite stay. They reside at 1253 E. 43rd street. Mr. and Mrs. Witt of Chicago are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Watkins on West Washington street; they contemplate remaining through the winter. The Choir of the First A. M. E. Church is busy preparing an exclusive program to be rendered on the afternoon of the 3rd Sunday to which the public is invited. The enunciation celebration under the auspices of the Ministerial Union was addressed by Atty. Wm McKnight late of Howard, formerly of Topeka. Wm McKnight left for Topeka Monday where he was called to attend a sick sister, Miss Ruby McKnight, an instructor in the Kindergarten Department of the public schools. Mr. and Mrs. Copeland of Cypress revenue are the happy owners of a new Overland Coach. -0- Mr. Wm. Lawson is sporting a new Nasn. Limousine, a beautiful acquisition. -0- The building on Dayton St. recently purchased by a group of our men is rapidly being put into shape to be presented to the public. YOUR COMPANY McAfee and Sons, who are in the Transfer business have just recently added a couple of Graham Brothers large-sized trucks to the business. Mr. McAfee is abreast with the times, keeping pace with the necessities that appeal for an advanced business. Wm. Winston and D. Bostick have Wm. Winston and D. Bostick have also recently purchased new trucks. Pastor Carter of Friendship Baptist Church has about completed his arrangements for an industrial exhibit in the Church very soon, having sought the co-operation of the local church of Commerce, which readily accepted to this phase. The many ideas advait. Dr. Carter, which goes without saying, have met with much success and we predict the same for this effort. Each time it has been the means of putting before the people of Pasadena, a bigger and better Friendship Church. Rev. J. M. Brown says he is loss for worms to thank the many members and friends who have so bounty fully and out of a heart of love, donated for the full equipment of every department of the school. Each week one feels the necessity of giving, which he so "bravely ap- pents." He also feels the need of Taylor, a young man of the Church made a donation to the culinary department in the form of dishes—much appreciated. SEATTLE We are looking forward for better times financially speaking for the new year than was in the past year, although the past year has proved pretty well for a few, but as a rule, it has been quite slack for all of us and we hope for the better times financially for nineteen twenty-six. Rev. T. F. Jones, pastor A. M. E. Church, preached a wonderful sermon to his congregation Sunday morning and evening. Everybody seemed to profit greatly by the message he brought them and it was thankfully received. Rev. J. Stirling Moore, Pastor Mt. Zion Baptist Church, preached a soil-stirring sermon Sunday and had everybody present greatly enthused and so well pleased over his words. Mrs. F. R. Brooks at this writing is resting fairly well but is pretty weak indeed. All we can do is to hope for the best and administer to her the very best of care and wish for her recovery if possible. Mr. W. F. Brown, brother-in-law of Mrs. F. R. F. Brooks, resumed his job on the S. S. Emma Alexander to come and nurse Mrs. Brooks as he had quite a knowledge of the nurse profession and came to do what good he could in helping. Both the family and the Metropolitan nurse wish Mrs. Brown luck and prosperity. Miss Maude Mayer returned back to Seattle after a short visit to Vance couver, R. C. on business and brought her sister-law with her. Mr. R. Murray is at at Fruz Keeble's Barber Shop on Madison St at Thirteen Ave. Mr. E. J. Monfort 118 L. E. 22nd Ave. is at the Keeble Barber Shop.

We the Seattle friends of Miss Hattie McKay, wish for her the good luck and happiness we could wish ourselves, hoping that she will return to our city again in the near future.

Entered as Second Class Matter November 17, 1913, at the Post Office at Los Angeles, California, under the Act of March 3, 1879. The year 1926, now well under way, bids fair to bring forth greater accomplishments than ever before. Lynching gains for 1925, according to the statistics as released from Tuskegee, show a gain of two over the previous year, with Mississippi still in the lead, as usual. In Washington, D. C.. it seems as though Roland Hayes was put to the real test when he appeared to fill an engagement in the auditorium on last Tuesday. The N. A. A.C. P. of Washington is in the midst of a drive against segregation in public places, and at the recital, the management told prospective colored purchasers flatly, that they could procure tickets in the gallery only. The Association put the question squarely up to Hayes, and just what the outcome was we have not been advised. The San Diego Herald says the police down there raise h—— and the tax payers raise money. In Los Angeles some have been so unkind as to say the police raise both h—— and money. We are in receipt of a card asking for a sample copy of the "Soaring Eagle" from Stockholm, in Sweden, thereby demonstrating that even in the frigid zones of the Swedish empire light is being sought on dark subjects. Right on the brink we are, and in this position, right now, we are wondering if our Governor will give to the people real and tangible recognition alng the line of political endeavor. In other words when the names are flashed from Sacramento, will the name of E. Burton Ceruti be among them. It is our fervent hope that such will be the case, not only will we feel elated for Mr. Ceruti, but for any other, capable and upright barrister of our group. We mention the name of Mr. Ceruti for the reason that he has been more frequently mentioned and endorsed than any other lawyer of the group. ORGANIZATION WORTHY OF ITS BOASTED CLAIMS We have just turned off the press of The Eagle Publishing Company the Minutes of the Proceedings of the last session of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, held in this city last August fourth to seventh. We make mention of this incident in order to give full credit to a very worthy organization which by its acts demonstrates the fact that it is just what it represents itself to be, an asset to the progress of the race. In this instance to all publishing houses of the group copy was submitted and bids asked for and the award is always made to the lowest bidder. In this manner the Order is playing well its part in building a race. They know full well that to go outside of the group to have done what can be accomplished inside the same, would simply be "fattening frogs for snakes". They appreciate the fact in a race establishment that perchance they might add to its membership and in fact that their own members own and operate publishing houses themselves. Now this example on the part of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows could well be emulated by some of our other fraternal organizations, and to their everlasting credit, they too, would join in and assist in the mighty march of progress. It is known that one or more of our supposedly major fraternal orders, take pride in giving their patronage to a group from which there is no possible chance to enhance its membership or to in any way come close to them except to spend their money, they employ none of their members, they neither spin nor weave. Now this is the sad situation in a nutshell and is one of the potent reasons we fail to measure up along business lines in this section. The very sources which should be to the fore front on behalf of our group enterprises are the ones which are holding them down. It has been said that some inside officers get a rake off, by sending Negro fraternal work to white print shops, to this assertion we have no knowledge as to its accuracy, and we would certainly hesitate to accept the assertion as true But we do know they are at their own expense and the expense of their very own enterprises, giving preference to the other fellow who in no possible manner, will ever help their order, which, to say the least, discloses a lack of diplomacy, a reflection upon their avowed protestation of brotherly love and racial advancement. SOWED THE WIND REAPING THE WHIRLWIND The Ku Klux Klan is being held up in all of its perniciousness by the conviction of one of its chieftains for the cruel murder of a defenseless woman, and now their cup truly runneth over as one of the big cyclops or Keagles in New England, accompanied by 600 of his brother Klansmen resigns and denounces the hooded Knights as one of the most damnable institutions ever in existence. The story of the 12th Annual Christmas dinner given by Mrs. Anna M. Malone, founder of the great Poro College at St. Louis, Mo., where she presented to eighteen faithful employees, beautiful and costly emblems as a reward for their faithful attention not only to the institution of which she is the head for their general efficiency and worthwhile accessories to the make-up and continuity of service to the race. The annual custom has been conferred upon more than 100 employees up to the present time. Those who received the Five Year Service Awards are: Mesdames Beulah Bragg, Katie Hancock, Lucy Wright, Estella Mitchell, Lula Maddox, Pearl G. Peterson, Lillian Williams, Mattie Wade, Louella Keith; Misses Dollie Evans, Rosalyn Rankin, M. Mae McAllister; Messrs. Edgar McDaniel, Edward Boulden, John Haywood, George Stanly, John Williams and Joseph Johnson. Truly Mrs. Malone is demonstrating that her heart beats as ever, in unison with the spirit of progress, and that she is unselfish in her devotion for the continued uplift and advancement of all with whom she comes in touch.

You will receive your notification for jury duty alright but should you stand there long enough you will see that piece of paper crumpled and dropped into the waste basket. Of course, the law does not prohibit Negro jurors but "CUSTOM" does. Some years ago we were wont to spoke fun and make light of the efforts of the keev, John Jasper to prove that the "SUN DO MOVE". But now comes a savant, an erudite professor of physics at the Cast School of Applied Science, who, after exhaustive experiments and calculations conducted on Mt. Wilson tells us that the sun does not only move but moves with incredible speed, 120 miles per second, and drags this old sphere on which we live, after it. Dr. Clayton C. Miller claims that he not only computes the speed of the sun, but can compute the speed at which the universe travels. Having learned the speed of "Old Sol" we can account for the speed mania of us mortals. The first of January brought memories to some of us other than the greeting of the New Year by the tooting of horns and flinging the Charleston, it meant the beginning of a new era for the Negro. The beginning of the new Emancipation. We remembered that only a few decades had passed since Abraham Lincoln made good his ultimatum to the South and liberated the slaves. A few of us remember that that emancipation was only the forerunner of others in which we will have to play the part of Emancipator. After all: It is not the chains that make the slave. It is the chaining of the will that makes the serf. It does good to top and once and awhile. The task of what we have accomplished, then see how far we have fallen short of the mark. We often wonder and ask ourselves, "Have we inherited the courage of our forbears and lost inheritance of their indomitable will? Think over the question then sum up and see if that, with all our additional advantages we have accomplished as much in our generation as they who were still in the shadow of slavery. CALEXICO The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McCollum was married to E. W. Eggleston of Los Angeles, on Tuesday evening, December 29, 1925. The wedding took place at 8:30 P.

The Giants did start the New Year right, by winning the New Year's day game which was featured by the hitting of Newt Allen who has been very much in the limelight for the past two weeks. Allen got a safe hit every time he went to bat which was five times and then hit safely his first two times up the Saturday contest. Than Rogan, the Giant pitchers didn't manage on the ball and the play of the infielders and outfielders appeared listless at times. In the Saturday game the Giants could only score one run altho they almost got a dozen hits. In one inning the first three men singled but Payne put on the brakes like a Rogan and not a Giant crossed the plate. Sunday Barfoot had everything and slowballed the Giants to death. Brtt who started for the Gants did not have any control. He was pulled with three men on bases and Rogan came in cold from rightfield and pitched to Wally Hood. Hood hit the right field fence empty-emptying the bases. Now that the Glan ts have relaxed for a couple of games. Watch out for next Saturday and Sunday when their most hated rivals, the Shell Oilers come to the White Sox Park. The games, play by play and the box scores will be found elsewhere on this page.

Johnnie Green got the first home run at the Williams' Park the same blow being one of the features of the game. LARRY'S ALL STARS NEXT Next Sunday, January 10th the Giants will meet Larry's All Stars and Find Successor To Siki (By The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 7—Just as Battling Siki, the African light hea-ayweight, passed out another big fighter from the Dark Country stepped into the limelight in the person of Jim David, who reached this city a few days ago and who intends to make this city his future home. There isn't likely that the police will ever have to worry about Jim, for, unlike Siki, he does not look on the wine when it is red and he has no use for whiskey, beer or other intoxicants. Davis is an impressive looking fellow, being six feet one inch tall and weighing in the neighborhood of 190 pounds. His shoulders are broad and his arms are long, but he has little to say, but for a man born in Africa and only in this country a few years he can express himself in good English. Jim does very little boosting, but when asked regarding ring affairs he replied: "I am ready to fight any man in the world." This ambitious fighter is 26 years old, and has been boxing about three years, making his first ring appearance in England. Since coming to this country he has been doing considerable ring work. He fought a big fellow called Blacksmith Russell knocking him in eight rounds. At Scranton, Pennsylvania, he stopped Silent Purge in seven rounds. One of his most important victories was by being knocked out by Taylor, who by beat Battle Skii in a couple of years ago, and who is now fighting in Paris. It was done in six rounds. There is already talk of a match between Davis and Godfrey. EAGLE SHOE CO.

Very few quarrels but what would be immediately stopped by a soft answer. We feel that it is not always just not right, but it works successfully every time. When you are the injured ones and are blamed wrongly, it is hard to give a soft answer; but after all, what need have we to care whether we gain the best of the argument or successful in carrying out our point? A soft answer means much. How much it would mean to this world if for one day only, everyone should give a soft answer? Think of the thousands and hundreds of thousands of quarrels that would be stopped, blotted out entirely, the hard hearts and hard feelings made over again, of the coldness and indifference that would vanish-A soft answer! Who is able to give it? LOS ANGELES URBAN LEAGUE 1325 Central Avenue TUcker 1305 Los Angeles, California January 2, 1926. MR. L. G. ROBINSON. Pres. Angelus Funeral Home, Jefferson and Austin Sts.

C., Dec. 29th.—According to Robert L. Mays, president of the Railway Men's International Benevolent Industrial Association, with headquarters in Chicago, two bills have recently been introduced in congress of importance to the $15,000 colored railroad workers in the United States. The bills were placed before the house of representatives by Congressman Martin B. Madden. Republican from Chicago. One of the measures would effect the creation of a labor board subsidiary to the United States Railroad Labor Board and would be known as the Federal Railroad Adjustment Board. This board would be expected to consider all cases, involving points at issue between employers and employees, which would be assigned to it by the Railroad Labor Board. The decisions of the proposed board in order to be valid would have to be approved by the Railroad Labor Board, which would also be the power of amendment by rejection. It would be final. The Federal Railroad Adjustment Board would be composed of six members, appointed under the same conditions and terms as members of the existing board, and compensation would be at the rate of $6,000 a year for each member. An effort is being made to have one Negro appointed on this board. This measure is said to have the support of Assistant United States Attorney General Clarence Matthews. The other measure introduced by Mr. Madden would nullify provisions in existing or future contracts which restricted or in any way interfered with the light of a railroad company to employ any person in any capacity and make lawful only such rules and working conditions as applied to all employees alike, whether they are members of unions or not. Gordon Manor Tract Centrally Located Primary Boulevardus always lead the way to intense development along the route, and especially at favored points. Gordon Manor Tract can be readily reached by seven north and south main boulevards joining Redondo-Riverside Boulevard, which fronts the property. To this point is focused all the development from cities and beaches—it is the convenient and logical home development center. Approximately FIFTY MILLION people a year will pass the boulevard adjoining this tract. Do you see any significance in this? Don't you see what it should mean to any well directed development? Don't you think that property located on one of the great beauty drives to the beaches means more than an ordinary opportunity to you? Don't you think that circumstances that force the development of this section means a truly exceptional opportunity for any man? Could you ask for more than a location the development of which is dictated by necessity? Los Angeles and the surrounding towns MUST grow towards this point. Home construction must go on. All around there are cities, cities with this property as the natural center. Yes, indeed, it is "Right in the Heart of Things." It is in the path of progress. JUST FORGET If a fellow, thru some mistry, And he worries day and nite, Till the folks begin to wonder, "Really, is he very bright;" If he wakes up in the morning And his pillow's soaking wet, There is something in his noodle, That he ought to just forget. If a fellow.get so stupid, Until he begins to think, That he cannot meet his daily tasks, Unless he has a drink; If for such demoral follies, He is going deep in debt, There is something in his noodle, That he ought to just forget. If a fellow keeps on riding And it seems he'll never stop, If when certain things are mentioned In his ears, he'll almost crop; If he's tried every diversion And they haven't cured him yet, There is something in his noodle, That he ought to just forget. If a fellow, thru some mistry, Has stiffened out and died, If all collected evidence, Bespeak a suicide; He left no written statement, For he was wild, I bet There was something in his noodle, That he didn't quite forget. IVA. Q. REED. THE BREACH We saw each other frequently, We wished each other well And if we felt each others care Our lips did never tell. And if we felt emotional, Our feelings were suppressed, And if we gave each other thrills, Twas never by caress. Pride ruled our hearts entirely, Our love was vainly thrust, The breach, that separated as, Was cruelly unjust. Our eyes bespoke our secret love, But no one knew save we Because my skin was pigmented, The tie could never be IVA O.
