TELEPHONE: VAndike 9244 Phone: VANDIKE 9244 COMMENTS By: W. J. WHEATON In the September number of the Atlantic Monthly, 1922, Evans Lewis had a contribution "Liberia And Negro Rule." In that article he states that the United States was about to resume the somewhat nebulous relations previously maintained with that portion of Western Africa, seriously undertaking administrate responsibilities which, except for the previous agreement in 1911 (with Liberia) she had studiously held aloof. Rubber is responsible for the great activity which the United States is manifesting in the little African Republic. Will the United States adopt the old German view, that colonization consists in the utilization of the soil, its products and its men, for the economic profit of the colonizing nation? You cannot forge the bonds of economic servitude upon races who have hitherto been more or less free nor erect a new system of civilization on a venerated form of government. Any labor furnished by the government of Liberia to further the interest of the rubber producers will naturally be drawn from the native interior. When you set a lot of people to working for others instead of being primary producers on their own behalf, instead of teaching them to be morg chattails of humans, wage-earners, train them in agricultural work safeguard their rights, develop their own farms and plantations and bring out the latent ability of the people that they may sow and reap their own crops. From the earliest days Africa has been at the mercy of exploiters. Its natives murdered, their lands preempted bastardized governments erected and the entry prostitution the interest of greed under the guise of economic necessity. Will the United States follow in the steps of Germany and Belgium or will she follow the path laid out by our for-bears? ```markdown ``` It is said that the University at Cambridge (Harvard) will require all requests for certain university privileges to send along their photograph with the request. It is said to be a snap at the Jew. Foolish in Harvard: There is enough Jew money in the United States to purchase the University and all of its professors, even though they were inclined to balk at the sale. Any school or university which will even countenance intolerance, much less teach it, does not deserve a place in the roster of educational institutions. Poor old John! His bones must rattle many the time in disgust at the bigotry portrayed, especially when it was accomplished in such a crude manner. Can it be possible that the K. K. K. has even entered Harvard? They used to credit "Voodooism" to the ignorant Negro, but the Police of San Francisco and vicinity are puzzled over the murder of a Spaniard who, it seems, was sacrificed in some "voodoo" rite of "The Devil Cult." Superstition is everywhere rampant. We stood on a corner the other day where some repair necessitated a ladder from the curb to a building. Lots of room to walk under that ladder, but of the hundreds of persons who passed that way there were but two had the temerity to walk under; one lady actually screamed when she realized that she walked under it and came back to walk around. Maybe that broke the "Voodoo." He left his nerve behind. Did Walter Johnson who recently came to California from Missouri. He tried to emulate Jesse James and stopped in Martinez to rob the bank. But he got scared and now he is in jail and soon will be in Folsom or San Quentin. Walter "toled" a gun and that makes it worse. Write back home Walter and tell them to stay there. Not wanted here.

Don't forget to remember—Monday, April 19th—Arion Hall 3rd and Main—Southern Pacific Dining Car Employees' huge Benefit Dance! ```markdown ``` American Woodmen To Celebrate Silver Jubilee MAMMOTH MEMBERSHIP ENROLLMENT TO BE FEATURE OF OC- CASION 25000 NEW MEMBERS IN NINETY DAYS SOUGHT April 5th, 1926, will mark the twenty-fifth year since the organization of the American Woodmen commonly referred to as the "Giant of Negro Fraternals." As a fitting celebration of the remarkable progress made by the Order within the quarter of a century of its operation, the Supreme Camp with headquarters at Denver, Colorado, with the co-operation of 621 campers in 25 states will conduct the most extensive as well as the most intensive campaign for campaign when will be known as the Silver Jubilee Membership Enrollment will take place simultaneously throughout the entire jurisdiction of the Order beginning April 1st, and closing June 30th. The goal has been set at twenty-five thousand new members. Of this number, the Los Angeles camps are expected to obtain not less than five hundred. To this end the entire membership in Los Angeles members have been divided into teams with a captain to head each team. Several thousand dollars will be expended in conducting the campaign and for the purpose of donating cash prizes and gold medals to the captains and workers. Every member who participates in the enrollment will receive a prize. The campaign in the State of California, will be conducted under the personal direction of B. H. Graham, Supervisor for the State of California. The captains of the Los Angeles teams as made public by Mr. Graham are as follows: Mrs. Callie V. Johnson; Henry Green; Mrs. Eva West; Miss Vassie Reese; Mrs. Hattie E. Norwood; Mrs. Jeanette Smith; Mrs. Mary E. Gibson; Mrs. Sadie J. Crockett; Levi Washington; E. I. Rabb; Mrs. Charlotte Kimbrough; Mrs. Kansas Wortz; Dessie Fevers; Mrs. Lenora Harrison; James Jones; Watts; E. L. Rucker; Mrs. Pearl Rutledge; Rev. M. F. Mitchell; Mrs. Annine Downd; Rogers Moore; Chas. L. Daniels; Mrs. Lurline Burney; William L. Bell; A. N. Ward and Mrs. Luela Bluit. At the close of the campaign, the Lurline将军 will jointly participate in a gigantic log rolling at which time it is expected that more than five hundred persons will be obligated and inducted into the mysteries of Woodcraft, following which the "Feast in the Forest" will be observed for the first time in Los Angeles or California. The rise of the American Woodmen has been rapid due to the very careful management on the part of the Supreme Camp officers assisted by a field force of carefully trained men and women. In 1909 the Order had around three thousand members with less than fifteen hundred dollars in assets. Today, within the short space of sixteen years, the Order has grown to seventy thousand members, with assets January 1st being fifty-two thousand, four hundred fifty-two thousand, two hundred sixty-three dollars in number. More than one and one-half million dollars has been paid in benefits to the members, while a half million dollars has been loaned to members of the race for the purpose of lifting mortgages on homes and making other improvements. The Order employs more than a thousand members of the race. "A Wise Bird" Jones was a chemist, and when his wife ran away with another man he inserted the following advertisement in the local paper: "This is to notify the man who so kindly relieved me of my wife that I can supply him with bandages, arnica, healing salves, absorbent cotton, iodine, sleeping powders, and crutches at rock bottom prices." When a married man doesn't relish his breakfast, it is safer for him to complain to his doctor than to his "cook." The new County Jail can be truthfully called "Liberty Hall" according to the editor.

A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL Marcus Garvey in Atlanta Trembles for Liberia's Future ECONOMIC FUTURE. AMER. ICAN NEGRO. LIMITED BY WHITE GREED "MAN WITHOUT COUNTRY," BUT WILL CARRY ON An Exclusive Interview In Federa Priston With F. N. L. A. Head Atlantic, Ga., April 2 'By The Associated Negro Press) Marcus Garvey, of New York, head of the U. N. I. A., and now serving a term in the Federal Prison, Atlanta, was seen by a representative of The Associated Negro press, and much he said will interest a waiting public. The Atlantic prison is complete in every detail. It is in the Yail and Harvard class of penal institutions. One man remarked: After noting the high type of inmates who are with Uncle Sam, you have to know something to get in this place. There's no chance here for ordinary folks." Evidently Marcus Garvey "knows something." He is known of all in there about in the big population, and evidently has many visitors, from the appearance of his index visiting card: He is evidently making good, as a prisoner, from indications in the visiting room, and his personal appearance. Mr. Garvey might have been taken for a business man who had stopped from his private office to talk in his reception room. He wore a white soft-collared shirt and a flowered dark green tie, a sweater coat and vest, evidently of his own choosing. A gold watch chain extended to the center of the vest and doubled back, in the lower right pocket. In the upper left pocket he carried well-sharpened pencils and a fountain pen. He wore dark blue prison trousers, the only indication of his present occupation and these would only be noticed by a close observer. His shoes were black, and well shined. He keeps his mustache and his hair medium length. He evidently keeps in touch closely with events of the outside world, for he is up on current topics, even to the confirmation of James A. Cobb as Municipal Judge in Washington. Mr. Garvey has kept particular close observation on the trend of event in Liberia. He trembles for the future of Liberia, he says, when he thinks of the Firestone deal. "In my opinion it sounds the death knell of our last foothold on Africa. There may be a million or two made out of it for a few of the people, but the American white man has never been known to go into any place where there is a big profit and then get out He not only stays but he rules. This is true in Panama and Haiti, and it will be true in Liberia." "Africa is the world's most resourceful country. Could we but have wolf vision instead of nose vision, we would realize that Liberia was the big opportunity to get started for African redemption. We, started, but were blocked by those who felt they knew mote, and they were not all black." ECONOMIC LIMITATIONS OF AM ERICAN NEGRO Mr. Garvey talked with remarkable facility on the world economic trend toward Africa, and then he turned his attentio to the American Negro. He said: "Many people criticized me for not adopting the Booker T. Washington theory of "dropping your buckets where you are." I have lots of regard for Dr. Washington, but I could not stop at that. "The big business of America, controlled by white people, is determined that Negroes shall go only so far in the economic field, and when they go farther, they will be stopped. This is as true as the sun shines, unless there is outside pressure. That has been my aim and hope. "The failures of Anderson's Bank in Jacksonville, of Brown and Stevens in Philadelphia, and of the Steel City Bank of Pittsburgh was not due so much to mismanagement as to the determination of white business interests who had the power to crush them, and used it. The difficulties of Standard Life Insurance Company, were not all the title of Mr. Perry, but to white money interests, who had the power to crush and used it. "The white people will let the Negro control a little, perhaps in some cases a million or two, but when he tries to control twenty-five, fifty or one hundred millions in business under one head, he is stopped, and that will remain true." FUTURE PLANS UNCERTAIN Asked of his plans for the future in the event of release, Mr. Garvey stated that they were uncertain. "I am like Edward Everett Hale's 'Man Without a Country.' But there will be some plan worked out. Give my regard to all friends and members of the U. N. I. A." With a cordial handshake, and equally cordial smile, the visit with Marcus Garvey closed. He does not seem bitter, but he is thoroughly thoughtful. "There are many people who know I am not such a fool as they would appear to have me be," said the "Provisional President of Africa," as a parting shot. the speaker sketches development and a racial movement founded upon the ference and co-races. Funeral Dic Adds Lad Booker T. Washington In securing Dr. Rufus B. vonKleinSmid, president of the University of Southern California, to deliver the principal address at the observance of the anniversary of Booker T. Washington's birth, next Monday night, at the Second Baptist Church, 24th and Griffith Ave, the Tuskegee Club of Los Angeles is keeping pace with the rest of Tuskegeeans throughout the world. April 5th is observed as "Fourder's Day" at Tuskegee Institute as well as by thousands of people in every quarter of the globe. Dr. von KleinSmid needs no introduction to the Los Angeles public as he is well known through his connection with the University of Southern California and as a speaker and philosopher of not. The very fact that he is appearing on the program is attracting the wide-spread attention of various educational and religious groups among both races all over the city who are expected to turn out en masse on this occasion. The Late Booker T. Washington Other prominent speakers appearing on the program are Rev. T. L Griffith, Rev. W. R. Carter, Rev. K. Woods, Rev. C. Charles Hudson and Rev. A. P. Shaw, A waltrained chorus conducted by F. Marie Brawley will render selections appropriate for the occasion. The entire program is as follows: 1. Chorus—The Tuskeguee Song, conducted by F. Marie Brawley. 2. Invocation, Rev. R. W. Underwood 3. Address: "Dr. Washington as a Race Leader," Dr. H. Claude Hudson 4. Chorus----"O Southland" 5. Address: "Personal Reminiscences of Dr. Washington," Rev. W. R. Carter. 6. Violin Solo----Mr. Richard Bates 7. Address: "The Christian Life of Dr. Washington," Rev. T. L. Griffith. 8. Chorus----"Harken Unto Me" 9. Address: "Dr. Washington's Contribution to Present Day Education," Dr. Rufus B. vonKleinSmid, introduced by Rev. Shaw. 10. Chorus: "Lift Every Voice and sing" 11. Doxology Force Hopeless in Adjusting Race Relations (For the Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., March 15.—The use of force for the adjustment of race relations is utterly deceptive and futile," said R. B. Eleazer of Atlanta, speaking before the Council of Methodist Men in Wesley Church, this city, which was attended by several hundred pastors and lay leaders of Bishop Robert E. Jones' Episcopal Area. "Force may sometimes seem to settle a question for the time being," he continued, "but in the end, it creates another and a more difficult question for future solution. To appeal to force is like riding on an excursion ticket to a place you don't want to go; it usually leaves you further from the desired goal than when from the less likely one has anything but trouble to expect from it." The speaker cited slavery, mob rule, and the cult of Norlideism as illustrations of the doctrine of force. "Those who are advocating the resort to force for the preservation of Nordic supremacy are simply advising the human race to enter upon a wholesale orgy of moral and spiritual murder and suicide," the speaker maintained. "Race problems," he said "like other spiritual issues, can be solved only by spiritual means—by the appeal to reason, mutual understanding and good-will. There is no other way." As illustrating the latter method the speaker sketched briefly the development and results of the interracial movement in the South, which is founded upon the principles of conference and co-operation between the races. Funeral Directors' Staff Adds Lady Attendant Funeral Directors' Staff Adds Lady Attendant The Smith & Williams Co., well-known Funeral Directors in this city, has been fortunate in adding to its staff Mrs. Annie Williams as Lady Attendant, who will carefully look after this department. Mrs. Annie Williams was born in Columbia, Mo. and spent the greater part of her young days there, coming to Los Angeles with her husband, Frank Williams, who is President of the firm. Her beautiful and unassuming ways won for her many friends, and she became interested in the work of her race. She is a woman of high ideals; a prominent member of the First A. M. E. Church; Vice-President of the Senior Board; Treasurer of Sarah Allen Women's Mite Mission; Chapain of the Order of the Occident; Secretary of Good Hope Temple, S. M. T.; Past Princess of Shores P. P. P. C. No. 1; member of Mutual Aid Society of Hiawata Temple, No. 91. I. B. P. O. E. of W. and Secretary of the Business Women's Club. She is an ardent worker for all that pertains to the uplife and advancement of our race. Her quiet, Christian character brings her in very close touch with all. And one that is always ready to serve her fellow man in sadness as well as sunshine. "OPPORTUNITY" AWARD DINNER SCHEDULED FOR MAY FIRST According to an announcement in the April issue of "Opportunity: Journal of Negro Life," published by the National Urban League, 127 East 23d street, New York City, the awards in "Opportunity's," $1,000.00 Literary Prize Contest will be made at a dinner to be given on May 1, 1926, at the Fifth Avenue Restaurant, 200 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Last year the "Opportunity" dinner did a great deal to bring together for the first time a meeting between the best of the younger Negro writers and some of the most distinguished white editors, publishers, critics and writers. With more entries this year the May 1st dinner promises to be one of the really worth while things to look forward to this season. In the April "Opportunity" contains a chapter from Louis Charbonneau's forthcoming novel of African life; an Easter tale by John F. Matheus, whose "Fog" last year won the $100.00 prize offered by "Opportunity" for the best short story by a Negro writer; the editor's review of "Lulu Belle," the Negro play which is at the moment one of the dramatic sensations of New York; a paper on Negro health by Frederick L. Hoffman, the chief statistician of the Prudential Life Insurance Company, besides a wealth of poetry, essays and book reviews of immense interest. White Minister Orders 5,000 Copies Of Dr. A. P. Shaw's address Rev. A. P. Shaw delivered an address last Monday morning on Christianizing Race Relations before the Methodist Preachers Meeting of Southern California at the First Methodist Church of this city. It made such an impression on his more than two hundred hearers that the body ordered five thousand copies of the address printed and distributed throughout the Methodist congregations of the city and vicinity. This is an honor which that body rarely bestows upon any speaker or address. It is also a signal service which has been rendered our race in the community which will bear much fruit in the days ahead. Cash prizes in the N. A. A. C. P. Drive offered to works in the following manner: The first team bringing in 100 members to win ($10.00) ten dollars. The second ($10.00) ten dollars and on until prizes are gone.

A silver living cup given by the Liberty Building and Loan Association to the individual bringing in the largest number of members. And as a climax in prizes in which all participate Mr. John Steven McGroarty will have as his guest al workers when the drive is over to see the great Mission Play at San Gabriel. The Mission Play is one of California's leading attractions and all of us should see it. Y.W.C.A.

After the regular business a delightful April Fool program will be sponsored by Mrs. Zella King-Taylor in the form of a surprise shower for one of the Club's recent brides. The Y. W. C. A. takes great pleasure in welcoming Mrs. Frank Otey of Chicago as a permanent resident of Los Angeles. As a former member of the Girls Reserve Committee of the Phillis Wheatley Branch of Chicago and received a lovely gift from the G. R. as a reward of her faithful services to them, when she was leaving to take up her residence here three weeks ago. OFF FOR KANSAS Geo. B. Brown, employee of the Santa Fe R. R., well known in political and fraternal circles, left Saturday for a 30 day trip to Kansas. While there he will visit Topeka, Kansas City, Chicago, and Wichita. The latter place being his former home. Doubtless these lines will find him hobnobbing with Lieut. W. A. Bettis, editor of the Protest and one of the most forceful characters in bleeding Kansas. Then perchance he will be present at the wedding of Col. Nick Chiles and enjoy a real good time on his visit to Kansas.

CHARGES ARE SHRINKING It might be interesting to know that the alleged Indian girl, Pocahontas Aqua Jones, who was played up in the daily press last week as having appropriated $15,000.00 worth of lingerie from the Alexander Oviatt Company of 609 So. Hill, and that a search warrant at her home substantiated the charge. Now we discern that the amount involved was not sufficient to bring a grand larceny charge against her. She has been set free on a nominal bail and ere the case is called for trial the chances are that it will be found no lingerie has been stolen at all. In the meantime the daily papers must have head lines regardless of who might suffer. 9 ce : < 7 p= ey ' . : 4 3 Ba THE MAGNIFICENT FUNERAL PARLORS ’ —_or——.... .

Hayes, Mrs. Hallie Smith, Mr.’ William Lawrence and Mr. Richard Mann, Secy. to Mr. Hayes in Santa Barbara last week— all were house guests in the palatial home of Mrs. Gardner Green Ham- mond in Montecito. ‘This setate covers over a_mile.of ground and faces the sea.

Thursday night he sang before a most’ exclusive, discriminating and appreciative audience in Santa Bar- bura.

Sylvester Isonbery, Attorney for ‘Plaintiff, 4105 Central Ave., Los An- [eeles, Calit Date of first publication 3-5-'26, Is Bell Company Honest In Boston? ~ By: ANDRAE NORDSKOG Chairman, Board ‘of Governors Peo- ples Telephone.Commission Last week I asked whether or not the Bell trust was honest in Los An- geles when I revealed how they doub- led the cost of the central office equip- ment here over the ‘charges made for the same item in Boston, Were they honest with the Los Angeles rate pay- ts? Now, back to Boston for a moment: In the case of the cities who combined, with Boston in the fight against the' proposed high rates of the New En- gland ‘Felephone Company, it was fe- vealed before the Depfrtment of Public Utilities of Massachusetts that the telephone company had actually removed during 1918 some 206 miles of pole line, and yet they added $151,- 194 to the book cost; in 1919 some 7 miles of pole line were actually re- moved from service, and yet $434,188 was actially added to the book cost; in the year 1922, 398 miles of pole line were removed from service, and yet they added to the book cost the huge sum of $1,362,528. There you Jnave about, $2,000,000 added to, the book cost for ‘plant actually out of service, and yet we must pay, depre- ciation’ charges on this added _ cost Remember, you, must pay depreciatior on the original construction cost plu: this highly inflated removal cost anc continue to pay it year after year a: long as they can get away with, it For new pole line actually added t the plant they showed a bgok cost 0 $627,857 for 5 miles, or more thar $125,000 er mile, an unheard of fig ure in all the history of telephony. BELL SYSTEM?—ONE: POLICY- UNIVERSAL SERVICE Everywhere {rou see on_ the Bal trust buildings—BELL_ SYSTEM— ONE POLICY,UNIVERSAL SER VICE. Now, remember folks, that i is the POLICY of the Bell trust t remove pole lines in Boston ard the add MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. to th book valud thereby causing the sub seriber to pav heavy ‘depreciatior charges forever thereafter, vears af fer the property i removed. RE MEMBER also that the Bell has bu ONE POLICY, and that same POL ICY is carried out in Los Angeles th same as in Boston. It is apparent % me that if we had a fighter like for mer City. Attorney of and now specia ‘counsel for the city of aston, F Mark Sullivart, in our city attorney’ office, we would have had facts:ze vealed here of the same nature | a these of which I spoke in Boston. Bu our own city attorney does not_seer to eare, and the people still suffer 2 the hands of this gigantic trust. ‘Noy, let us figure for a moment: previously showed you the high nance methods employed whereby th telephone trust charges you 40% fo construetion money, then too—T show ‘ed you how they doubled the cost the central office equipment over‘an above the cost of the same equipmer in Boston, and now I show you ho they actually ‘take out unused plan and. instead of subtracting its valu from the books they actualtyjadd mi ions of dollars to the cost and comps J you to pay higher depreciatio charges than before the property wa removed. OH MY—WHAT A SYS 'TEM—YES, WHAT A POLICY! OH YE DEAD ONES—WAKE UP! I can preve each statement that I make about the telephone trust. I do not guess at the facts. I plead with you MEN and WOMEN, yes ‘Wo- IMEN, you wanted your franchise, now what are you going to do with it? I am giving you something to do. The foregoing facts are only a few element that contribute to our high telephone rates.. Why should we pay from $25 to $120 a month for ‘a telephone in Los Angeles ‘when it ean be proven that the January, 1925 rate of $9.25 a month was enough to pay a reasonable return on the | in- vested capital? We need workers in every section of the city. If you want this fight settled jump in and help us. Telephone YOrk 2833. im THE SUPERIOR COURT OF.

Well, maybe not so much when you realize that about a year ago that same man was offered nearly $500.00 per front foot for that same piece of ground. Folks, he had the Courage to Back his Judgment. Now, let’s go further south, where less than six years ago we ran into the old Chinese cabbage field at Western and Slauson avenues. We had to detour if we wanted to go to Redondo. Make the « same trip with me Sunday and you will not have to detour, but instead you will go through a most wonderful district on your way to Manchester avenue. In that vicinity you will find , «where lots sold for $2500.00 to $3000.00 (Yes, we are still on ‘Western Avenue), just five years ago, have since sold for prices ranging from $10,000.00 to $30,000.00. Observe’ these im- provements as you ride along. As we leave Manchester avenue in about twelve or fifteen minutes we reach a new settlement where just three years ago you found just a one-horse gasoline station as you turned to go to Redondo Beach,; folks, this was where the pavement ended on Western avenue and this point was and is now known as Western avenue and Riverside-Redondo Road, but Western avenue continues now on to Wilmington. After you have paused there for a while and noted the improvements within the last|two or three years turn to your right and follow me about a/mile towards the beach on that same. Riverside-Redon- do Road. Let's stop a while at the little orange-colored house. Now at this point you are looking at nothing more than a bar- ley field. But as you stand there and watch the golden sun go down in all of its splender and grandeur—If you are a lover of Nature’s most beautiful creations you will marvel at the sight— This is GORDON MANOR, the Sub-Division Beautiful, big and stupendous, involving several millions in Dollars, yet it is ours. Walk all over it, look at it carefully, think about it, learn all that you can about it, then for the sake of posterity, as well as old age, have Courage enough to buy a piece of it and let Fath- er Time do the rest. I thank you! ly say, “Yes,’ I too had the Courage to build with the city.” How many of us have heard this remark twenty years ago?—I am going to wait until prices come down, anyway that property is too far out!—Well, those twenty years have come and gone, the Price descension day has been postponed and that which was far out is now close in, but what it took to make it close in Folks was Courage. Oh, Yes! The next twenty years is sure to come. Those who figure this game tell us that a piece of ground worth $2,- 000.00 today 1926, will be worth $6,000 in .1931; $12,000 in 1936; $18,000.00 in 1941; $24,000.00 in 1946. Your Coun- ty Assessor grrives at these figures by making a general, aver- age valuation upon the figures herein above quoted for your information. I wish to say for the benefit of the real man or woman who does not know how to arrive at Real Estate values, it would be far better that he or she would take a little monev and even with closed eyes buy a piece of land anywhere in Los Angeles County and let Father Time do the rest rather than to have not had the Courage and foresight to have ventured at all, because the very ground upon which you live today 5-10-15-20-25 years ago Was a sub-division. Do you realize any increase in values around you today? If not, then go with me out Western Ave- nue; let's drive over to Third street where thirteen years ago I was offered eighteen acres of land for $35,000.00—Folks, I said EIGHTEEN ACRES. I did have the initiative to go and. see this land but did not have the Courage to buy aithough I had the money; after breaking a couple of springs in my auto- mobile because of the rough roads.in that district ‘at that time and looking upon. that vast barren field, I decided I wouldn’t have the land as a gift, and felt that I was being stung because the seller wanted to charge me nearly $2,000.00 per acre for said land. I am quite sure most of you know Western Avenue at Third street today and a 60-foot lot at the point will cost you more than the entire cost of the Eighteen acres just thirteen years ago. z Now, let's go twenty-six. blocks south, still on Western ave- nue, there you will find twenty-ninth street where less than-six As we go to press this week I do not feel that this valu- able space will be wasted should we try to awaken that which has been latent and dormant within some of us for so many years, namely, Courage. The artist whe drew the above picture has sc vividly and forcefully presented his conception of the subject. There is very little left for us to say, but in commenting on the draw- ing permit us tc suggest that we simply study it, think about it, concentrate on it, and finally have courage to acquire some- thing for ourselves before 1946—Ancther 20 years—‘“Perhaps cldgge for some—Finds seme of us where we are today—Wor- fully without!!!” 1905—Los Angeles County wes appraised at $201,509,- 786.00. 1910—Los Angeles County had increased to $593,861,492, an increase of 194.7 over a period of five years. 1916—Los Angeles County had a valuation of $849,991,- 595, showing a per centage gain of 43.1 per cent. 1920—Los Angéles County was valued at $1,074,404,454, which was an increase over 1916 of 26.4 per cent. 1925—Los Angeles County at that time which was the last assessment shown was rated as being worth $2,716,223,805, still another gain of 152.8 per cent. Using a little mathematics we find that since 1905 Los An- geles County, as a whole, has increased in value 12 times, a gain of 1200 per cent. Sixty-two per cent a vear is the average per centage gain that Los Angeles County has made every 12 months since i905. Folks, statistics from the office of the Hon- orable Board of Supervisors of our County will corroborate the above as being facts, not guess work, but thanks to Mr. Heber W. Waters it was he who gave these facts to the public Sunday, March 7, 1926, which is most astounding information. Did you see the article? If not, I am offering same for your information today. When these facts have all been summed up it means noth- ing more than Courage. It took Courage, yes, much Courage to build Los Angeles.

C. P. JONES CAIN AND ABEL "But ye are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels. To the general assembly and church of the first born, which are written in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits just men made perfect. To Jesus the mediator of the new coyenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel." Heb. 12: 22-24. "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by faith he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; by it he being yet 'speaketh.' Heb. 11: 22. The narrative concerning Cain and Abel is given to us in the fourth chapter of Genesis, Human history starts off with murder, wild, cold-hooded, inexusable murder. A man kills his brother. Adam had many sons and daughters and one of these daughters was Cain's wife, Cain and Abel were probably his oldest children—not necessarily. They are mentioned by name because they were typical characters. Others were not so mentioned because they were not typical. Typical means that they were a type or shadow or allegory of what was yet to be—of what is taking place even now. 1. OF WHAT CAIN WAS A TYPE? 1. The natural the carnal. I. Cor. 15:15. Cain was the oldest, the first born. That is first which is natural, Paul says in I. Cor. 15, afterward that which is spiritual. The natural is selfish and cruel. 2. He was a type of the unbeliever whose works are wicked. Heb. 11:14. Unbelief! Do you know that real faith in God is not natural to the human? A living, saving, sanctifying, god-honoring faith is begotten in the heart by the Holy Ghost. By grace are we saved through faith and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Eph. 2:8-12. Cain was religious, but he did not have real faith. He was an unbeliever. So as we said are all cruel, self-fish, carnal-minded people. Cain was therefore a type of the carnal, worldly-minded, selffish church member who does not love his brethren. John 3:9-14. Have you gone in the way of Cain? Judell. Cain is in the same class with Balaam the false prophet and Korah the despiser of authority who hated and rebelled against God's order. Hatred, unruliness, insubordination, murder, self-will—Cain stands for these. He would serve God his own way and hates those who choose God's way. All hypocrites are murderers, if not actual, why then, potential. The remedy is the blood of Christ. II. OF WHAT ABEL WAS A TYPE? Of the true believer, of the righteous man. In what points? In what was he like the righteous of all ages? 1. He brought blood. Self religion does not trust the blood. The blood stood for the great doctrine of substitution. The bloodless religion is the Cain religion. Abel's lamb was a type of Christ who died for us all. The Lamb died in Abel's stead. That Lamb which was its life stood for Abel. It died in his stead. Cain had a certain kind of faith also. He believed there was a God, but he thought he was good enough without atoning blood. He brought fruit. He worshipped God in self-will. Only the blood-washed enter heaven. Rev. 5:9-12; 7:14; 12:11. Read Isa. 53. That explains it all. Abel's sacrifice held up Jesus. He rested on the merits of One who died for him. His faith discerned Christ's body. He saw Calvary. Are you resting on Jesus? Don't trust a bloodless religion. Without the shedding of blood there is not remission. Heb. 9:22. 2. Abel came to God in faith. Cain was proud and indifferent. He was hard and careless and light and trashy. O self! Self! 3. Abel was humble. There is no doubt of that, it runs all through the narrative. He was no brawler. He merely talked with his brother. He did not quarrel or fight. Phil. 2:1-5. He was a soof peace, serious, God fearing and true. He died rather than do wrong. 4. Abel was a martyr. Abel's blood speaks not as Christ's blood—for Christ's blood speaks of atonement as well as of martyrdom. Only Christ's blood caf atone for sin and cleanse it. "Being justified by His blood we are saved from wrath through Him." Romans 5:9 But Abel was a martyr. He gave his life for his faith. He died rather than be wrong or do wrong. We are all martyrs, who stand true to Jesus, though we may not be literally slain. The great truth yet stands that he who seeks to save his life shall lose it. Abel was the first man to lose his life and the first one said it was one way or taking the cross. Have you ever met a martyr spirit? Would you for Jesus? Not for your denomination, nor your faith—but for Jesus? Like Christ, Abel was an example of suffering afflicting. Like Christ he left no family, but he has been an example and companion of the faithful throughout all ages. III. GOD'S WITNESS BETWEEN THE TWO When men please God, He witnesseth to it, either by fire or some token of the Holy, Spirit. The Holy Spirit is now the great witness of the covenant. Romans 9:16 and Heb. 10:15 and I John 5:7-17. Have you the witness? What is your tongue pro- fession without the witness? What if you do preach or belong to the church, and yet have not the witness? God testified of Abel that he was righteous. That's what I want, God's testimony. He'll give it. He is no respecter of persons. He loves all who take pleasure in His commandments and delight in His ways. O may God bless and help you and me that we may, like Abel, get our lives under the blood and make for our God the excellent sacrifice. Let us not bring God the faulty fruit of a selfish, uncleashed life, but come to him under the protection of Christ's blood with humble and conflite hearts. Away with pride. Serve the Lord with humility of heart. Amen. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Cor. 53rd and Holmes Ave., Furlong Tract Rev. A. T. Hines, Pastor Sunday's services will ever linger in the minds of those who attended First Baptist, the atmosphere was fogged by the power and spirit of the Almighty. One strong man who had been snatched on last Sunday from the thickets of sin and worldliness, joined the church and the outstanding phrase of his testimony was, Oh, to think I've been 40 years learning some sense. In the evening he was baptised together with his wife who was a Methodist. Rev. Hines often says he has but two things to do and they are to make Baptists and die. We can but believe what he says as on the last Sunday past he has made Baptists of Methodist, Catholic, and Holiness, charmingly appointed affair was given Saturday night by the Pastor's Aid Society of which Mrs. J. Luke is president honoring the pastor in his new Watts home. The house was a bower of everlastings, carnations and sweet peas. Rev. Hines, together with his Deacons who, upon the knowledge of the pastor's interest in the Watts home inquired as to his needs to purchase the same and supplying that need out of their own pockets were seated at the center table, and while listening to the strains of music over the radio an elaborate dinner was served to all consisting of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green peas, salad, cake, cocoa and coffee, after which he was presented a purse by the Society. —Aliv.

A small, calm man—but with gigantic force Of purpose radiating from his face, Surrounding him with tense dynamic rays Like those 'round "Jove's" brow on "Olympus" high As he stood poised to hurl his thunderbolts. He Speaks! The deep, clear, roundly molded tones Roll to the high vault as he tells the tale,— The world-old tale;— the workers' tale; the lone "Man with the hoe" in silence suffering long. The countless darker races.—Clean he strins With lancet keen, the bigotry, the sloth, The lack of union which like cancerons growths Sap out our race's vitalizing strength. And with same lancet pierces deep the core Of "Nordic" false pride, rotten prejudice, Greed and Intolerance, the race in power Feels with desire to crush submissive ones. With tender hand he points the way to light. Up Education's ladder guides the feet. Industry Business, Race-pride, thoroughness And over all undying faith in God. Fearless with blazing eyes he dares denounce All enemies of his beloved race, And rumbling hurls the blasts of blame!

Upton BIDDING TRUST There is a certain class of men in the Los Angeles Di. alt. who have formed, perhaps unconsciously, a monoploy on lines, worth bidding for. Between themselves they are constantly changing lines all the time, although in many instances I could cite cases where the conditions, revenue, and layovers are practically the same. It is a very discouraging state of affairs for the younger men, who are kept constantly looking for a line which will give them a fair living; not taking into consideration many men ranging in age from two to five years in service, who apparently have no show whatever, except to buck the extra board, which is very uncertain at times. A man five years in the district has comparatively small opportunity for a good line on account of the bidding trust which has been created among the older men, who exchange with each other at their pleasure. Of course, this is all done lightly, but what it eventually will lead up to is food for thought for the far seeing Porter. Porters have even gone so far as to change from one car to another on the same train, simply because he has noticed that at times the other car may run a trifle heavier than the one which he is on. This part of greediness is becoming a menace and is gradually retarding the progress of efficiency of the district, besides working a hardship on the younger men. We hope that the bidding Trust will soon go out of existence for the benefit of all concerned. Be fair with your fellowmen, live and let live, should always be your motto, in a later issue I will name the leading men in the Bidding Trust, it's officers and board of directors. MANY MAIDS SICK Two of the maids operating on the Golden State Limited have been off sick in Los Angeles. Miss Hellen Smith, and Mrs. Mason. Miss Mabel Ruffian. Maid operating on the Los Angeles Limited is also off on account of sickness. Mrs. Upton doubled out in her place last Monday. Mrs. Blanche Mattison is making a trip on the Golden State Limited in one of the sick girls place. Mrs. Mattison is a Los Angeles Maid. Mrs. Clara Wells popular Los Angeles Maid, who recently went to Chicago for an indefinite stay, made a trip to this city on the Santa Fe, which was rather surprising, as it had been rumored that she was about to leave the service; What's the dope Mrs. Wells? The following Maids are stopping at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Ambrose; Miss Lemmons, Pitts, Harris, Bromie and Simm—Watch your step. T. PUILMAN PORTERS BENEVO LENT ASSOCIATION STARTS DRIVE At the last meeting of the Pulliman Porters Benevolent Association held on the 27th of March, at the home of C. Smith, it was decided to start a drive for new members at a reduced rate of initiation fee of $1.50 and $2.50 it is hoped that the membership will be greatly increased by this method, and that the porters who are not already members will take advantage of this most reasonable rate. This organization is a local order which has always been a friend to the porters. This trust, has at all times been able to always live up to its obligations and promptly pay off all claims. Topics of interest to the Pulliman Porter are discussed at each meeting. Join now and you will never regret it. C. H. Lever, Press: J. T. Ambrose. Secy. The drive will be on for sixty days only. ST LOUIS RUN COMES OFF We had about decided that the rumors about the St. Louis run coming off were without foundation, until Joe Holmes dropped by the other night looking wise at train 109. Now we know it is true and expect to see Bumper Brown, little Joe White and C.A. Glover wagging their tales behind them toward the Coast cool Things don't like they used to be boys. J. L. BARNETT WINS OUT J. I. Barnett is now laying back laughing at the confusion he has started in regards to being one of the main parties responsible for having Bob Fischers and Wm. Tillers run out for up bid. Some time ago Barnett went up to the office and protested against J. Carter and others being allowed to hold a preferred run regular, that should in his estimation have been put up for bid; at the time he was given no consideration whatever, but after some months of thought on the part of Mr. Roth, acting Supt., his request has been granted, and the runs have been put up for bid. Just how much this will help Mr. Barnett remains to be seen. J. Carter, one of the men who has been on one of the runs in question, when interviewed, stated that as far as Mr. Barnett was concerned he would still be in the same place as he was, but that he had got his, so that's that. W. E. Marshall is singing the Montreal Blues ever since Mr. Ross put him on the Phoenix run. Sing 'em kid, sing 'em. The Starks Brothers have purchases. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened ed a new Buick. "Some class to them." They tell me that some of the leading Shieks of Los Angeles were so sure they were going to win that Nash at 15th and Main last week that they bought a red can and carried five gallons of gasoline along to the dance so that they would be sure and have enough fuel to take them home in it. I wonder how Eddie Nash likes his new run to Portland on the covered wagon? Glendale is red hot ain't it Eddie? If you practice Safety in your home it will come easy to you on your runs. Safety benefits you personally as much as it does the Company. SOUTHERN PACIFIC FAT MEN The Southern Pacific Dining Car Dept, has been responsible for many a Bay Window on its officials and help. In order that you may plainly understand just what I mean by a Bay Window, I will explain it in this manner: A Bay Window on a human being is that part of a person's body that sticks out so prominently between his chin and his belt, commonly called a breadbasket, and is that in which you feed, not a wife, but your stomach—that's that. They say fat men eat little, "but their size don't prove up the facts." I would hate to take Percy Buck in a restaurant with 50e in my pocket. I can near the judge saying 30 days now. They say Traveling Chef Thomas Harrison, once put away three dozen oysters and called it a light repast. How can they do it? Then there's a waiter named Armstrong, that don't have to take a back seat for anybody. "How about Mr. Clausen?" He ought to hang a Red Light on his Bay Window. Mr. Hicks is rather prominent around the bread basket, "still the girls call him cute." Hot dawg! Mr. Simor has not quite developed yet. "But oh boy he is coming, and you don't need any opera glasses to see it either. Cook Frank Croom is gradually rounding into shup and had the nerve to tell me that he got it from drinking water. Don't get off the S. P. Frank, or you will go down like the Titanic. They say that water makes one fat, according to that we ought to be able to poll a strong vote for prohibition. Can a fat man float? No, but we can bloat. This is Radio station B-A-K-E-R; now broadcasting from radio station, Watts, Calif. Gentlemen, I expect to purchase a new Ford when the one that is now in my possession, which was willen to me 10 years ago, refuses to go. While I am in hopes of winning the Shriner's Nash, I have at last come to the conclusion after buying and punching about 25 punch boards that the cards were stacked against me, so it's a Ford for mine. A hundred yard dash was put on last week between Walter E. O. Burton and Chef Cook Frank Croom. Bratton won by 99 yards. Hot dawk, Carlisle. Bernie DeCuire, So. Pacific's women impersonator, still drinks his black coffee. R. R. Burns, popular Sneik, is sure playing his caris straight, especially at the little Jap restaurant across from the So. Pacific depot. Don't forget that Red Hot Southern Pacific Dance. LEGAL POINTS AND POINTERS Questions Answered By ATTY. CALVIN W. MURDOCK 1400 Central Ave. Q. Smith accused "B" of having been unchastic and as a consequence her friends refused to speak to her, and she was discharged from her position. Smith made the statement politically and believing it was false. When sued by "B" however, he discovered that several years before "B" had been unchastic, though she had since reformed. Has Smith a defense? A. Yes. If this was a civil action for slander, it is always a complete defense that the defemalty charge is true. It is immaterial whether or not the defemalty believed it was true at the time he made it, or what his motive was in making it. Q. An insurance agent in order to induce a man to take out a policy told him that certain prominent business men were members of the board of directors. The policy was taken out because of that statement. In fact, they were not directors, but the insured could have discovered that fact by consulting the public corporation records at the courthouse. May the insured maintain an action for deceit against the agent? A. No. The insured should have used due diligence, by so doing he could have ascertained the truth by visiting the courthouse. It is true that a person to whom such representations are made has no right to rely upon them, if the facts within his observation, or if he has equal means of knowing that truth. Had the facts not been on record, and he had no other way of determining the truth, then, upon discovering them to be false and fraudulent, he may maintain an action.

One of the greatest schools of thought is the Howard University, an industrial institution, begun by one of the greatest Negro leaders ever known, Booker T. Washington. “There have been numerous general questions in regard to the Negro. The Negroes canie to America as a result. of a necessity call for the cotton pro~ ‘tion, beeuuse they were adapted to warm weather and physical labor. They became slaves. Out of the Tave cowiition many problems grew. Many Newtuey became tenant farm= crs; it ix estimated that practically 1,900,000 men became tenant farmers. AGith the passing of slavery there be: ‘edie many business men who were desirous of building, up industries. ‘The reason for their building their own business was stimuiated by the way Negroes were prohibited from sworking in while businesses in the Seuth. Thus, the Negroes have built busine.res that can be compared with iy White business in the would in the South, We fet Negro banks, whole- wile houses, and stores in the-South, ‘These businesses are run, owned atid, worked by Nezrovs, We find efficent Negro painters, brieklayers, and car~. penters «ii the South, but the Negroes are not jiven responsible positions, they may work, but are kept in the background, in she white businesses. They reeeive less wae: chan. the white. To overcome this difficulty organizations have been started’ for the employment of Negroes and their education. Every year thousands, of Negroes are coming out of college, thoroughiy trained and vicsirably. ef ficient for all xinds‘of lings in life. | “The unemployment cuestion is quite an issue among the Negroes of today? Numbers of Negroes have mi- grated to the North thinking the problem woul! be solved, but it has proven not to be the desired solution. Waxes are higher for the remaining: Negroes in the South, becduse small- er workers ina given industry will in- variably receive nigher wages than if there. were many employees. The Negroes want mere wages. Serious autiention is given lo the competition, between black and. white, where dif ficulties have arisen. It is now nee cssary for the white ard Negro have an understating about. waxes und industry, Iu St. Louis Negroes touk the place of white workers dur ing the strike. Strife ani riot fol- lowed, The Negroes were brought to work in the dustry, but as they ook tke places of the whites who were striking strife followed. There is a new movement being carried on at‘this time, ‘The organiz~ ation of Pullman Porters. This or- ganization is for the purpose of edu- €ating the Pullman Porters, raising their standard of living and wages, anid putting Negro businesses and workers on a higher standard of ef- ficiency and recognitien. There is a disposition to keep Negroes out — of business, not because of their color, but because of the waye standard. white businesses have. maintaineu. Business ix concerned ‘with getting products on the market. Race con- Hliets have arisen when the Nezroes have asked for jobs and higher waxes, Another great organization for advancing the Negroes is the Na- tional Urban League. This leaxue is concerned with getting jobs for work- ers. They have been successful along the lines of procuring jobs, but have not been so successful in organizing labor. “The big problem before us today is the securing of a mutual agreement of common interest by the whites and calored, The American Federation of Labor has organized a committee for that purpose. I happen to be on that committee as tits chairman. The N. A. A.C. P. is represented on that committee, The committee is making a survey of the number of white and colored workers and their attitude in regard to the problem at issue. This committee ix functioning commendab- ly. The organization of groups will follow. It is considered one of the most definite steps ever taken. “Many of the Negro leaders are nol very friendly to this proposition. They have the idea that the Amer- ican Federation of Labor is against them, but it has been proven they be- lieve wrongly, because out of 113 in- ternational industries only three de- ny entrance to Negroes. This proves that this idea is incorrect. The great professor of Science at Howard Uni- versity says that Negroes should cast their lot with organized capital and labor. Ninety per cent of the Negro papers say that organized labor is bad, but it is not so. Many Negroes have been used as pawns, so that, there is much to say on that side. The only way workers can receive higher wages is through collective bargaining. “The organization of Pullman Por- ters of 7,500 porters, has stirred the country. Among the Negroes we have group opposing and another agree- ing. The ofganization is composed of three committees. The first has five pullman porters and five managers coming together to settle difficulties. The second is the general commit- tee where the difficulties are trans- ferred that are not straightened out in the first committee. The third is the U. S. Railroad Labor Board, where the difficulties are sent if not satisfactory in the second committee. In this case Negroes do not go to managers individually, but collective- ly. There are welfare workers who 1 ve attempted to bring about better belong to this organization. In April their case for back wages and higher wages will be brought before the Rail- road Board, Frank D, Walsh, attor- ney, is giving his services free in fa- vor of this great movement, The American Federation of Labor is giv- ing its moral support to the Organiz- ation. The old type of leaders say Negroes should take the side of Or- ganized Capital; they are not ‘n har- mony with organized labor. “The Washington conference was held and there was an attempt to demonstrate that the employment plan was ideal. The Negroes want more wages and no tips. They are receiv- ing only $67.50 a month, balance in tips, This movement of the Organ- ization of Pullman Porters is a meth- cd of relieving Negroes of securing tips and receivng material gain. It endeavors to raise Negroes to a high- er level, showing they ean participate jn maniigement of busine,» effietent The women of the Federated Clubs ‘il have charee of the program on Auril the Sth at the Friendship Bap- tht Church, Dayton St. siting she Tneein Tssposition,.

Lowe and he is the individual who will be qualified to enter the mythical Hall of Fame following his first performance next Wednesday night, April the seventh. The rising of the curtain at Gamut Club Auditorium, Wednesday night should be the rising of the curtain of a new career for James B. Lowe. The event will be the realization of an ambition of many years, the result of many years of study and the proof that determination seasoned with a certain amount of hope and patience as embodied in one James B. Lowe, will open the door of opportunity. Many of us know of and have seen the play, "The Emperor Jones." Chas. Gilpn was given the Drama League of America medal for his interpretation of Jones. It takes a real artist to do the Emperor. We as a race are not particularly interested in the play but we are in the artistry that it takes to put over the rule of Jones. We there will be several other locals in the cast, just who they will be has not been decided but several are rehearsing. YOUNG L. A. FAMILY MAKES A BIG STEP Mrs. Katherine S.

With the many other wonderful attractions already planned, it is but natural that if it is found that the tennis element can be reached by the building of tennis courts, a club house and other facilities for that particular group's use, they will be placed there without a doubt, so let's see what they have to offer folks, be at the meeting, Wednesday, April 7th.

Panthers and the Watts Monarchs play?" Now that is just it. The other day I was talking to Manager Curry of the Watts Monarchs about a game and his answer was he had too much to lose and nothing to gain. Sunday, March 28th, I was a visitor at his ball park and after seeing the Watts Monarchs in action I must say I thought Manager Curry possessed more knowledge of the science of the game. Probably he is a fine chap, but a manager well—getting back to the clubs I must say that the Watts Monarchs are promising bunch of young ball players, but they would be up against a real machine if they play the Panthers with such stars as Flash, Shage, Evans, Paride and others I will write about later. The Panthers in a few weeks will prove to be of real championship call. We have what it takes to a baseball team plenty of fight and they never quit. MANAGERS GET TOGETHER Managers of both teams "Get together is my advise." We don't want a reoccurrence of the Doc Anderson and Lincoln Giants affair when the teams lost money because the managers wouldn't get together. The fans talk of that fiasco until this day. Managers be yourselves, settle on a date and let the fans see these two teams in action. See if I am not right.

Graham of American fame is trying to adjust his goings and comings on the Avenue to the caprices of a brand new Ford of the latest cut. It certainly is a relief to not that E. L. Dorsey has recuperated his "muchly" delapidated past, present and future Ford. Dr. Liddell has been seen trying out a new Dodge on the Avenue. The California Eagle's "Packard Coupe" that has for a number of years attracted the attention of all Central Avenue because of its peculiar shape, size and cargo, is reported as being seriously ill. The effects of a major operation being performed even now at the Bill Wheat Garage. Hello! "Is this the Eagle Office? Is John Prowd in?" "Do you know where I can find him?" "Sorry to say, but the last time seen he was riding South on Central Avenue in the Ford owned by one Mr. Westbrook (better known as "Porch Climber.")" Automobile Philosophy Persons laboring indoors the entire week are certainly entitled to a little fresh air over Sunday, however, such individuals should ride in cars commensurate with their income. It is rather painful to the hopeful race advocate to often note that those who ride in high powered cars, using an excess of gasoline can least afford it. When riding along Central Avenue and other sections of the city don't figure that you will not be seen or heard unless you put on your outfit for this practice if not disgusting to you certainly disturbs the peace and happiness of your fellow man by the side of the road. It would be an excellent practice for married men when joy riding to take their own wives and not the wives of a friend. THE NIGHT AFTER' Early Sunday evening the big seven-passenger Buick, owned by a wealthy insurance president of the East Side, was seen floating through Central Avenue and among the bevy of young boys and girls, occupying the same was Noah M. Thompson, Jr. Many steps were made by the company. Young Thompson was still under the spell, brought about the night before at the Christian Tavern, where he was the prime mover in the classiest birthday party of the season, given by and for the Four Horsemen, hence at his last stop Mr. Thompson rested his hat, where it is still resting. Cause—Joy. Effect—Had to return home at midnight hatless. J. E. BRUCE Mr. J. E. Bruce, premier auto salesman for the Hogg Motor Company of South Pasadena and who handles the Willys Knight car states that this particular car is forging rapidly to the front and in a short time will pass all others. For this situation there is a reason. The car proves its worth. Any purchase express his entire satisfaction with the car, and is accessible at all times to look after the purchaser's interest. If you want a real proposition on your next auto get in touch with Mr. Bruce. DON'T GO AWAY FOLKS Those Wilshire Olympians just will not stay out of print. On last Wednesday evening a charming social dancing party was given by this up-and-dong group of young men. It was an assured success. They do more than entertain the fair sex, for the powerful La Premiere Baseball Nine succumbed to a faster team last Sunday. Watch the Wilshire Boys! The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority will present "A Full House," a three-act Comedy, early in June. Watch for date. SILVER FOX HA If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened "The Old Mill," near San Gabriel Mission, built 100 years ago and still stand- ing, was the first successfully operated water power plant in Southern California A STORY OF THE ROMANCE OF WATER AND ELECTRICAL POWER IN THE UPBUILDING OF LOS ANGELES By: DON J. KINSEY THE SMOKELEE CITY Through the skill and ingenuity of a Yankee engineer, who landed on the California Coast from the deck of a pirate ship more than one hundred years ago, the people of this territory first came to reap the benefits of water power. From that distant day forward Los Angeles has depended almost exclusively upon the energy derived from the force of falling water to operate its machinery in shops and mills. Historical records indicate that the first water wheel successfully operated in Southern California was designed and constructed by Joseph Mayschuck Chapman was one of the first Yankees to settle in Southern California. The story of his appearance upon this western coast is one of colorful romance and adventure. Leaving his home in New England at an early age, Chapman sailed around the Horn and went ashore in "The Old Mill," near San Gabriel Missing, was the first successful in Southern a South American port. There, either by choice or through force, he joined the crew of a pirate ship preparing to head northward to arry and pillage the California settlements from San Diego to Monterey. At Monterey, Chapman and a few of his gentle companions were captured by the Spanish settlers, and the young Yankee was saved from instant execution only by the intervention of the beautiful Senorita Guadalupe Ortega. The sequel of this dramatic incident was the marriage of Chapman and Senorita Ortega. The two, shortly thereafter, came to Southern California established their home near the San Gabriel Mission. It was here that Chapman built this region's first water wheel. Water power was provided by a stream from a nearby canyon, now dry. The stone-walled grist mill which Chapman built and operated one hundred years ago stands to this day, the father of water power in Southern California. The introduction of water power in this district was, indeed, an epocal event. It furnished the energy to grind the grain of the early ranchers and to operate the first eruide lumber mills. Following the erection of the San Gabriel mills, the citizens of Los Angeles built their first water wheels and began to harness and use for power the water of the Los Angeles River. Other sections of the country, in later years, came to depend upon the burning coal under boilers as a source of industrial energy people of the coal centers looked for Los Angeles and said it could never develop as an industrial area because it lacked these vast deposits of black fuel. In the meantime, however, man had devised the hydro-electric turbine, a modern development of the old water wheel. Construction of the Owens River Aqueduct gave this city its opportunity to seep the priceless benefits of hydro-electric energy made available along this 50-mile watercourse from the High Siarres to Los Angeles. De IR DANCE—POLL EVE. veloped and distributed by the Municipal Bureau of Power and Light, this electric power has been served to the people at rates so low as to successfully compete with the cheap fuel districts of the East and Middle West. It has, in fact, formed the foundation upon which Los Angeles has erected its ever expanding structure of industrial prosperity. Today this city numbers its electrically operated factories and mills by the thousands, and these producing centers are giving employment and profits, directly and indirectly, to hundreds of thousands of our citizens. For those who have been accustomed to associate industry with tall ceilings and block clouds of smoke, it is difficult to realize the extent of this city's industrial growth. Los Angeles—the smokeless city—has revealed to the world that industry may thrive and bring prosperity to all concerned under clear and unsullied skies.

The Dangerous Age, Or What Really Takes Place at Puberty Adolescence has been beautifully called the flowering age. It is a peculiar puzzling period of great physiological change in the moral unrest and spiritual instability. The child undergoes a complete change in disposition. He or she may become suddenly irritable and nervous, or just as suddenly sweet and kind. Good or bad traits of character may manifest themselves very strongly. These puzzling contrasts of good or bad, have lead physicians to call this the paradoxical or critical age. It is a dangerous period because the child is laying the foundation for the spiritual, mental and physical development of his whole future life and it is essential that he come thru flit to stand the stress of modern civilization. A grave danger also lies in the fact that he or she is experiencing new feelings, sensations and desires between the child and the environment or judgment which will help them to understand or to control these emotions. Just here is where the work of a real parent comes in. The parent who is very near to a child until the child's mind is so developed that it can safely be left to do its own governing. Good habits help a great deal to decrease the difficulties at this time. Full quota of rest at night, out door exercise, simple nourishing food at regular hours, bowels miving well each day; these are some very practical points which will assist your boy or girl to come through this period safely. Next to good habits, good books and companions are important. The adolescent girl or boy who is left to choose his or her own books and companions is in a dangerous situation. For their whole future choice of associates often rests upon their selection now. That is why that in the choice of books or friends as well as in other things confidence and companionship between parent and child are to be diligently sought. Both boys and girls must be prepared for these changes by having a knowledge of what to expect; or how to conduct and to care for themselves. They will enter the period much more calmly and they will have less nervous reaction if they know what is a head of them and have some idea as to what feelings. They will impulses to encourage and which to look upon as dangerous. In other words thru this puzzling and momentous period of their lives every boy or girl needs a plot who loves them and who has gone over the way and who will watch with them and faithfully, guide them at every step n the uncertain path. Next week watch for "The Physical Next week watch for "The Physical Changes of Adolescence". BUSINESS TALK BUSINESS TALK By: T. L. GRIFFITH OPEN HOUSE DAY FOR LOS ANGELES BUSINESS MEN I am venturing today to make a proposition to the business men of Los Angeles, and I shall hope that the matter will be received as it is given—in a friendly and helpful spirit. Great cities, small cities, county seats and small towns try out plans or boosting the business of their variegated communities. We have state counties, county fairs, carnivals, agro shows, orange shows and various means of advertising communities and their business institutions, in a way that the products and enterprises of the communities come before the eyes of the people from near and far. I am offering a suggestion that Los Angeles business men inaugurate an annual OPEN HOUSE DAY. There are many ways that this day could be planned for, and I am not trying to say how it should carried out, but I am merely trying to call attention to this as a means of having our people in the city to become better acquainted with the things our men and women are trying to do in the business world. In the district of which Central Avenue is the center from Eighth to Vernon, and from Hooper to San Pedro, and in the district bounded by West Jefferson and Santa Barbara, Vermont and Western Ave., that section known as the Furlong Tract and in Watts, we have a number of very commendable business institutions. Most of these advertise in the papers, and all have a limited and more or less local number of patrons. An OPEN HOUSE DAY properly arranged for and carried out would bring in one day hundreds and possibly thousands of the citizens to visit these stores and shops, and get acquainted with the proprietors and their efforts. In course I might be mistaken, but I believe your business plan would get such an impetus from the movement as to increase very materially the volume of business done by each and all of them. 1 Let us suppose there is a holiday —take for example Decoration Day, Fourth of July, or some other holiday If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened FRATERNAL BULLETIN F.

MRS. MINCIE BLACKSHER, Press. HUunbolt 1547-J. day. There is in every holiday some diversion of the day to other than strictly fundamental purposes. Christmas fundamentally has one message; but we use it as a time for gift giving, resting from usual employment, feasting, and the like. Even so the fourth of July. Now, why not take a day when the folks are not at their usual lines of work, and arrange to have, if possible, thousands to visit our stores in the various districts. The merchants could afford to use one day to keep OPEN HOUSE: to be at home to visitors, to cultivate acquaintance with the people, to invite them to come back, to hand out their cards and auverising circulars. They might not sell any good on that day, but they would certainly let the city know that they are in town, and where they can be found. A proposition of this kind will not go forward of itself. I may not be correct in suggesting that our local Business League might find it well worthwhile to finance and promote the day. Just as an individual must spend money in advertising his business, so a group in attempting to put over a proposition must be willing to get behind it with time and with money. If it will not pay, do not attempt it. But it will pay. U. S.
