TELEPHONE: VAndike 9244 Phone: VANDIKE 9244 By: W. J. WHEATON The last survivor of John Brown's little army when placed such an important part in the emancipation of the slave nation, to his reward, Jesse F. Parsons was one of the names of the Battle of Oawatotone and a follower in the Civil War died, in the town of Salem, Kansas, April 22nd. He not only recalls memories of that little band of militant abolitionists that were willing to die for what they believed to be the right. They believed that human slavery was wrong, were willing to give their lives to blow out the corn, Lake F. Parsons was spurned to see his views vindicated. He was on the poor and ignorant slave which he assisted to freeward development into a city of affluence and wealth at the continual triumph of racial intolerance, and the legalities practiced because of it. No doubt he marveled at the communities are empowered if after another scientist of John Brown was born in vain. In San Francisco, a mass meeting of the first day of St. Peter's district was called to discuss the establishment of a church in district against the initial certain rates. The meeting was called by Dr. C. F. Griffin, who is a member of the mission in that district. Second Negro churches have more interest than parts of the district in the church, there are clauses in the church contracts which prohibit the sale of protection to others than those of the white race. It is transportation to the blind race which impedes persons, who claim a preponderance of the works culture, to consider the harms and streets of a city a place for social tenacious. Cultures Collected Families, such as have their residence in and about the Surrey, or their homes their social centers, and we feel confident in inviting that Dr. Griffin would not be invited not even in the neighbourhood the city of Lincoln Brown and Luke Parra, who be minding in the grave, their souls are marching on." And as Christian leaders to make men holy so they can to make men FREE. Let us hope that the man may soon enter the mind of Dr. Griffin and others of Ellicott. We watched thousands of boys march on the main thoroughfare of San Francisco. Boys of all the races of the earth, because here in this cosmopolitan city, the races of the earth are represented. But the glorious thing was that every one of those jousters were AMERICAN CITIZENS, born in this Republic of the United States. The grim of prejudice has yet to be developed in the heart of minds of those boys so they marched, followed together unconscious of any difference. Let alone those boys will grow up with no other thought than character makes the man, but there is always some sinister motive like that of the Sunset District meeting to plant the germ of the superiority, because of color or race, complex and cause racial antagonisms. It is pleasing to note that the colored boys Bugle and Drum Corps of Berkeley was awarded the second prize in the band contest. They made an average of 15 against the band of Sonoma, who scored 100. Some drum corps. You remember the Giacomo Matteotti case. He was the Socialist member of the Italian Parliament who, in June, 1925, was kidnapped in the open day, and about two months after his body was found about fifteen rules from Rome. He was courageous enough to oppose some of the actions of Mussolini and his abduction and death being laid to the Facista came near being the end of the rule of the Premier. Five men were held for the murder and three of them were convicted, but now comes the part that sounds like some of the "opera boulevard" stunts of our Southern courts where race instead of politics makes the difference. The Facista chose the place where they should be tried, miles from the scene of the pike nicked the jury, named the prosecutor and measured the court. Maybe the Italians are leaving court procedure from the United States. The judge sentenced the three men to serve five years and eleven months. He then deducted four years under an amnesty proclamation issued last by the King, and deducted another twenty months which the accused men had spent in jail while awaiting trial. Figure out what the punishment will be. — 00 — It is said that this country imposes its ideals on the world. We doubt it not. We see a glaring example in the trial of the accused Italians. IT ALL DEPENDS! In Tennessee a Negro (Continued on Page Sxi) Addresses Large Crowd MRS. E. O.

A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 30, 1926 ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY SANDER'S LAMP SHADE FACTORY PRESENT FACTORY SHOWING DEPARTMENT HEADS & SOME EMPLOYES SANDER'S LAMP AND SHADE COMPANY A VIEW OF PROPOSED FACTORY Anticipating the great need for the colored man's place in the economic world of Los Angeles, and realizing the unlimited supply of gifted singers here, Mr. Ed. Sanders, owner of the Sanders Lamp Shade Company of Watts, has worked out a new and unique co-operative project with the company, which shows its beeds, the balance of which will go towards erecting a factory for the manufacturery of lamp shades, fancy pillows, etc. CHOIR CONTEST The project will be in the form of a Choir Contest and the place of the Contest will be Hollywood Bowl early in July. To those who have attended former events at the Bowl it will be interesting to note that the Bowl is being remodeled to the extent of a half million dollars and that the Choir Contest will be the first outside attraction to be given there. RULES OF CONTEST The rules of the Contest are few and simple, namely: Each Choir must sing three songs, two of their own choice and the third "Steal Away" with the Clark Smith interpretation. The points on which the Contest is to the judged will be announced later. Not only will the Contest attract attention from the musical point of view, but from the economical end also, for the Sandlers Lamp Shade Company is giving employment to many of our women and with ample working space it will be a wonderful asset to the community. The proceeds from the Contest will go toward building which will give Mr. Sanders facilities which will enable him giving employment to one hundred people. CHOIRS ENROLLED The following choirs have enrolled for the Contest and will begin rehearsals immediately: 1st A. M. E. Church, Rev. W. D. Miller, pastor, Prof. E. Bartlett, director; 2nd Baptist Church, Rev. T. L. Griffith, pastor, Mrs. M. L. Jackson, director; Wesley Chapel, Rev. A. P. Shaw, pastor, Prof. J. P.

New Orleans, La., April 23—Eugene Powell, 17, has been arrested charged with the death of Mrs. Fannie Simkin, white. Mrs. Simkin was walking on Common Street along the side of the new Pere Marquette Building now in course of erection; Powell was working as a laborer on the seventeenth floor; a crowbar slipped on of his hand and falling to the ground, struck Mrs. Simkin, fracturing her skull, from which she died a few hours later. As Powell is a Negro, and has no vote, the authorities will probably send him to prison for life SILVER FOX DANCE DRAWS MANY BEAUTIFUL HEADS OF HAIR AND LARGE CROWD Miss Clay, Representing Poro Sub-Station Is The Winner Of The First Prize The most successful dance ever given by The Silver Fox, one of the city's most popular organizations of young men, came to a glorious close last Friday night with the awarding of prizes to the winners of the beautiful hair contest, the big feature of the dance. Nearly a thousand persons were at Blanchard Hall to see who has the most beautiful head of hair in Los Angeles. This was twice the number of persons who ever attended a Silver Fox dance. The previous Novelty dance to be sponsored by the Silver Fox was the Apache Dance. LONG HAIR THE WINNER Miss Genevieve Clay, with a head of unbobbed hair caught the judges' eye and was awarded the first prize. Miss Clay was entered from the beauty shop of Miss Marcia Pruitt and her hair was dressed by Miss Pruitt herself. Miss Norine Gray with a beautiful head of black bobbed hair took second prize. She was an entrant of the Perry Winkle Marcell Shoppe. Third and fourth prizes were awarded respect of Lula's Beauty Shoppe and Thelma Bager from the establishment of Mrs. lively to Mrs. Eunice Roan Farrington Soropa McLaughlin.

Fields Beauty Shoppe, Cather- ine Beauty Nook, and Mrs. Ruth Hall Marcell Shoppe. The Silver Fox did their best to choose impartial and competent judges and ask this publication to thank the public for their loyal support. In the meantime the Fox are planning something for the prize winners and participants. MRS.

M. a he residence of Rev N. P. Gray, pasor of he Firs Independent Church of Chris of which Mrs. Thomas is a member. The Thomases are a home o heir many friends at 45 Glorieta street, Pasadena, Calif. The many friends of Mrs. Wilkins of this city extend to her hearty congratulations. Dean William Pickens, national off-A. A. C. P., received a flattering reception on his arrival in Los Angeles on last Sunday and ever since wherever he has appeared he has been the recipient of the plaudits of the populace. His stirring account of the work of the National Association and the general trend of things throughout the country was highly illuminating and welcome morsels for the people who hung onto every word uttered by this distinguished orator. His first appearance at the Christian Church was a big reception by the Junior organization. In the afternoon at the beautiful Zion A. M. E. Church, the same was crowded to the doors with an eager, anxious throng to hear his message. No speech delivered in Los Angeles was better and more enthusiastically received. This indeed was a big afternoon and Dean Pickens lived up to every expectation. Sunday evening he was the principal speaker at this big up-town Forum at Blanchard Hall, where he delivered a wonderful address to this organization which is composed of caucasians. During the week he has filled many speaking engagements and on last evening a monster banquet was served in his honor at the A. M. E. Zion Church. Stop! Think! Act! Acres and half acres thirty-five miles from Los Angeles, six and a half miles from San Diego, three and a half miles from Pacific Beach for the pick up prices of $50 and $750 for acres and $450 and $500 for half acres. Only one fourth down and the balance in small monthly payments. There are only 42 acres in the tract. HOW DID IT HAPPEN This is not open, unimproved farm land. It is a developed subdivision opened up a few years ago for Mexicans who contracted for only 8 acres of the 50 acre tract to be sold to them. Streets are already laid off. Many sidewalks are already paved. A well has been sunk and tank built to supply the tract with abundant water. A building for church and school is on the grounds. A dozen or more houses newly built are on the grounds but can be moved on to escape the buy at small additional cost to you on the same liberal terms you buy the land. It is an ideal site for raising chickens, ducks, turkeys and rabbits. The tract is level and the sandy soil is suitable for raising all kinds of vegetables. It is only the rarest possible chance that the pricesare so low. It may never happen again. An enterprising family could make a fortune in hogs or two or three acres. Act now! It will not last long. 1 8 7 9 - 1 9 2 6 No. 47 Wins 2nd Prize in Oratorical Contest Wins 2nd Prize in Oratorical Contest WILLIAM HOUSTON, SON OF MR. AND MRS. H. S.

This is an elimination contest, the winner gets an opportunity for debate against winners throughout the state for the honor of representing the state in the National Contest which will be held this year in Washington, D.

Af- PLAIN FACTS NOTE: Three persons are taken into the close folds of human confidence and given closer views of the naked secrets of the soul—the lawyer, the minister and the physician. The latter knows more of the real life and living of people than any other class of persons in the world. In the silent hours of night with the septre of sickness ravaging a home, pretense is cast aside and life as it is, is seen by the physician. Women sob out their souls to us, and strong men tell us their sorrows. The hidden secrets of lives are laid uncovered and ungarnished to our view. To help humanity the doctor, the human humanity, No class of people come closer to the unbared souls of men and women than the really human physician. Out of a world of experience with men and women from every walk of life and from every nation under the sun I have learned valuable lessons which humanity needs. And because humanity needs them week by week we pass them on to you simply and plainly and without any apology for their plainness.

It is because these falsehoods have had such wide circulation and such strong advocates from men and women alike that we feel the need of presenting the truth on the subject with equal force. J.U.E. NO. 1-SEXUAL INDULG. In addition to what we said on this subject last week I will simply add a quotation from Dr. William H. Howell's, one of the best known doctors in the medical world today and professor of physiology in John Hopkin's University: "Many, young men without doubt have accepted such advise in good faith, believing it to be based upon a demonstrable medical fact, and have thus been encouraged to water upon that unlawful indulgence which, as we all know, has been the cause of so many of the sordid tragedies of life. It seems desirable, therefore, to have this opinion challenged openly and to let the public know that it rests upon an absolute fallacy; that in fact it is an opinion which cannot be defended successfully before any body of men fully acquainted with the physiological data upon which it is supposed to rest." **LIE NO. 2. "GONORRHEA IS NO WORSE THAN A BAD COLD"** "This lie is more frequently heard than any of the others and to it is frequently attached the statement that no one is entitled to call himself a man until he has had at least one name." Gonorrhea, which annually claims countless victims, which leads to chronic invalidism of many, which produces sterility in women beyond number, which causes the majority of cases of infantile blindness, is declared to be no worse than a bad cold and elevated into an attribute of manliness." "Today gonorrhea is one of the most wide spread of all contagious diseases. In one form or another its influence may be fairly said to enter nearly every civilized home. "Fifty per cent of all involuntary, childless marriages are due to gonorrhea. The innocent infection of the wife by the husband, who thinks himself cured, results in the sterility of the wife and blasts her motherhood, per cent of these cases of virual infections and sterility caused by the husband. "About 50% of all blindness in new born infants is due to gonorrhea. The mother, infected by the husband transmits the infection to the eyes of the child in the very act of childbirth. "Seventy-five per cent of all operations on the pelvis organs of married women can be traced to gonorrhea. Eighty per cent of all inflammatory diseases peculiar to women is caused by gonorrhea." It sounds a whole lot worse than a bad cold, doesn't it? I quote further: "Remember that it is not only the woman who suffers! A man may be rendered sterile by this dread disease. He may through its infection become blind, or otherwise endure a leathsome existence from its results. Gonorrhea causes its victims to become ESSAY CONTEST CONDUCTED BY LOCAL DELTAS Pi and Upsilon chapters of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority are sponsoring, an essay contest which is open to high school girls.

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA In and For the County of Los Angeles No. D-43845 TALFORD J. WHITE, Plaintiff -VS. PEARL REYNOLD WHITE, Defendant The People of the State of California send Greetinets to: Pearl Reynolds White, Defendant. You are directed to appear in an action brought against you by above named plaintiff in the Superior-Court of the, County of Los Angeles, State of California, and to answer the complaint therein within ten days after the service on you of this Summons, if served within the County of Los Angeles, or within thirty days if served elsewhere, and you are notified that unless you appear and answer as above required, the plaintiff will take judgment for any money or damages demanded in the Complaint, as arising upon contract, or will apply to the Court for any other relief demanded in the Complaint.

The Advance Mercantile Company, latest and most promising proposition along the line of co-operation, is now in their offices, 24074 Central Ave., ready to do business in the disposition of shares. subject to diseases which appear later, such as so-called "gonorrheal rheumatism;" the closing of the spermatic cord which connects the testicles to the seminal storage vesicles, frequently producing sterility; and the contraction of the urinary passage and consequent prostatic, seminal vesicle, kidney and bladder troubles. "No man who indulges his sex functions promiscuously is safe from the dangers of infections from gonorrhea. Dr. Robert Willson, director of the Philadelphia Hospital Post-Graduate Course in Internal Medicine says: 'Probably every prostitute, clandestine or public is infected with gonorrhea, very shortly after, if not during the first exposure! The men with whom she associates almost invariably harbor the gonococcus! When they infect her she becomes a permanent focus for the spread of the disease, because she is never cured and is thus constantly passing on the disease to other. The larger percentage of boys and young men are infected long before they reached a marringe age, as the result of illicit intercourse with women previously infected by other boys or men. No man who has ever been infected with gonorrhea should marry without a thorough examination by a reputable physician. Every test known should be insisted upon by him. Ever then there remains the danger that the disease has been so deep-seated as to escape the vigilance of the ex-amining physician—a danger which is so productive of dreadful results to husband, wife and innocent little babies." These statements from the Health Department written by men of wide experience with other men, do not bring pleasant pictures to us, but they do bring facts, by which all can profit. If you have gonorrhea do not be discouraged, go to a good, honest physician, such as Dr. Charles Diggs or Dr. Leonard Stovall or a dozen other of the splendid doctors who are doing faithful and hones work for he men of he community. If you have not any venereal disease, then guard your body as your life to keep it clean and strong and free from disease—The two other "Sex Lies" from the Health Department will be dealt with next week.

JONES Minister Christ Temple Church 1412 East 15th Street Los Angeles, Calif. "PERFECTING HOLINESS" "Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting oliness in the fear of God." 2 Cor. 7:11. Holiness is that state of separation unto God that fits men to commune with Him. We were commanded to follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. Heb. 2:14. Now the unavoidable meaning of this statement is that without holiness no man shall see the Lord. We must follow peace with men, yea all men, and follow holiness, if we wish to see the Lord. Let's get it plain. SIN DONE AWAY Since holiness means the elimination of sin, we see that it cannot be otherwise. That which is unholy is an abomination to God. He hates sin, because it is the agent, the cause of death. And God is life. Hence if men serve God they being originally sinful, must find some way of putting away sin. There must be a repentance for sin, a turning away from the path of sin and a separation unto God. For they who would live with God must know and serve Him. Now, God has arranged for our separation from sin, unto Himself by causing Jesus as our substitute to bear our sins away. John 1:29. Hore our sins in His own body on the tree, to the end that we being dead to sin should live unto righteousness. The scape goat bearing off the sins of Israel was no doubt a picture of this. THE TEACHING OF THE APOSTLES The apostles were first concerned to get men to see that they needed a Savior and that Jesus Christ was that Savior; that they were sinners and needed repentance; that they were alien from God and needed restoration to His favor; that they were corrupt in their natures and needed nexness of life. Then their next concern was to impress believers that they were called unto holiness—that is, unto separation unto God in cleanness and spirituality of life. Let us notice a few points on which the text makes us wise. CALLED TO HOLINESS All believers are called unto Holiness. Numerous citations of scripture prove this. "Ye are not called unto uncleanness but unto holiness; we read in First Thessalonians 11th Chapter. And in 1 Peter "As He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner, of conversation," which latter phrase means "in all manner of life." In every phase of your existence see that you KEEP SEPARATED unto Good and let the blood of Jesus keep you clean from sin, it what it means. Be nice. But it must mean you than that. It means be really, be spiritual be heavenly-minded, live as in the divine presence; love, seek, follow that which is above. What manner of persons ought we to be, said Peter, in all holy living and Godliness, looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which ens being on fire shall be dissolved and the element (or heavenly bodies) shall be fervent heat. 2 Pet. 13. R. V. The call to holiness is plain, loud, explicit, unmistakable. In this matter, it would be wise to look away from men and seek God about it. Don't look to any holiness crowd—all crowds get selfish and crooked at times. Jer. 9:1-12. Look to God Micah 7. Let Him teach you and guide you, and He will place you in the body where you ought to be. What thing is to be holy. Cor. 19:10. HOLINESS TO BE PERFECTED Now we are made holy by divine grace as we seek and obey God. Rom. 6:22,23. We are cleansed from desfection and placed in holy ground. Even then we must be wary of go on to perfection. As pertaining to the conscience the blood of Jesus perfect us. The conscience is purgative and good works to serve the living God. Heb. 9 and 10:10. But as pertaining to our thoughts and words and daily practices we must go on to perfection. NO NEGLIG True religion is a thing that will not suffer neglect. We must give diligence to make our calling and election sure. We must give diligence to make our calling and election sure. We must take time to be holy. Amen.

THE MAGIC OF WATER AND POWER A STORY OF THE ROMANCE OF WATER AND ELECTRICAL POWER IN THE UPHILD-ING OF LOS ANGELES Editor's Note.—This is the seventh of a series of short articles revealing the vital importance of water and water power in the development and prosperity of Los Angeles. A GIGANTIC SYSTEM A shallow ditch a mile long served as the first water distributing system for the Pueblo of los Angeles. With the Los Angeles River as their only source of supply for domestic and irrigation purposes, the early Spanish settlers used this simple method of securing from the stream all the water they needed for their homes and crops. The Los Angeles possesses the third largest water distributing system in the United States. More than 28800 miles of mains varying in diameter from 4 to 36 inches are now required to carry water to homes, stores, office buildings and factories. Mulholland Dam and Reservoir the Municipal Water Bureau in Los A Where once the total length of this city's water distributing system was only a little greater than five city blocks, the great network of pipe lines now used to supply Los Angeles' water needs, if extended in a straight line, would reach across the American continent. This colossal water distributing system, needless to say, no longer depends entirely upon the limited resources of the Los Angeles River. Since 1913 the people of this city have received the major portion of their water from the snow-capped peaks of the High Sierras by way of the Owens River Aqueduct, a gigantic artificial water course 250 miles long. Since 1902, when the City purchased the properties of the City Water Company, Los Angeles' water supply and distributing systems have been under municipal ownership and control. The organization which operates these systems for the people known as the Bureau of Water Works and Sunny. Geographically, Los Angeles is the largest city on the face of the earth. Its municipal boundaries encircle 420 square miles of territory. The necessity of delivering water to residents scattered over such a far-flung area has required the building of a water distributing system which, in other more densely populated cities, would be extensive enough to serve a population three times greater than our own municipality's. In addition to providing service for the largest city area in the world, the Municipal Water Bureau must also deliver water to consumers residing on land elevations varying all the way from sea level to 1400 feet above sea level. This necessitates heavy pumping operations in many sections of the city, and in serveral instances it is necessary to life the water as high as 9000 feet. Despite the long distance, Los Angeles must go to secure its water supplies, the wide territory over which this water must be distributed and the high elevations to which it must be lifted, the maximum domestic rates charged by the Municipal Water Bureau are 13 cents per 100 cubic feet, as compared to an average rate of 18 cents charged in 183 of the largest cities in the United States. Sixteen storage reservoirs have been constructed within the city by the Water Bureau to conserve Aqueduct water for use throughout the year. These basins are capable of holding 17 billion gallons of water. Along the line of Aqueduct there are four more large reservoirs with a total storage capacity of 36 billion gallons. Enough water can be stored in these twenty reservoirs to supply Los Angeles' domestic water needs for more than one year. The necessity of these enormous storage basins becomes apparent because is is now consuming, or domestic purposes, as much as 145,000 gal- ```markdown ``` THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Entered as Second Class Matter November 17, 1913, at the Post Office at Los Angeles, California, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

This City's first water system was its Zanja Madre, or "Mother Ditch," a few hundred yards long, constructed by the community efforts of the pueblo's eleven original families. Its one employee was an Indian woman who carried water from the ditch to the various households. Today the Municipal Water Bureau possesses assets exceeding $75,000,000 and 2,000 employees are required to operate its vast supply and distribution facilities.

APRIL 20. 1926 UPTON'S RAILROAD CLATTER By Chas. L. Upton As the wheels of industry go around and around, competition gradually becomes keener. This applies to all lines of business, and so we have at the railroad business, The Santa Fe Railroad system have as an attraction The Grand Canyon which draws thousands of dollars in their treasury yearly. The Southern Pacific has the Apache Trail which draws a like amount to their strong box. The Western Pacific has the Feather River Canyon and now the Union Pacific not to be outdone has got the Lost City, the marvel of ages and a recent discovery in the hills of Nevada, displaying the ruins of a city which in all probability existed thousands of years ago, and until recently the railroad built the red sails of the State of Nevada, buildings have been uncovered and every effort is being made to preserve them, skeletons of men and women lie scattered in different parts of the Lost City and an Indian cemetery is practically intact, some of the ruins are barely discernible and one must play upon one's imagination rather strongly to realize just what they were in the early days of mankind But in any probability the inhabitawe were Indians, the houses being of a clay substance. The Union Pacific had an excursion to this most interesting city last week which was danced by the following porters from Los Angeles: V. Tate; T. D. Yancy; E. Edwards; R. Tinal; B. H. Wilson; N. Young; J. W. Perryman; J. Carter; I. Barmore and the writer. The Union Pacific winds its way through the valley which stretches from Moapa to St. Thomas from which point you take a bus to the Lost City. Some day, in the near future, these ancient buildings be the bottom of the Bowler Drain under a feetwater which will pour the Colorado mighty stream through the valley and make acres of waste land valuable fertile soil besides furnishing the city of Los Angeles with an ample supply of water for all time to come the little town of St. Thomas was formerly situated on the Arrowhead Trail, a range of mountains four miles west of St. Thomas is composed entirely of Salt, those who have not yet seen the Lost City should take advantage of some of the excursions the Union Pacific is running before it is too late, and the spectacle is under water. --- 00 That boy Tate is sure a musically inclined young man from the looks of the load he had on the excursion to the Lost City, Mr. Tate had the Union Pacific Band. Sing 'em, kid! Sing 'em!!! —00— Conductor George lost about ten pounds at Lost City, but you cannot notice it. —00— The hot dogs that were served at Lost City were wonderful, just wonderful. —00— Mr. Gentry is the magnate of St. Thomas, he owns the main store in town, mostly main, as that is the only one there. He carries a full line of goods with the exception of SOAP; he says he has not had a call for soap in fifty-two years. SOLTHERN PACIFIC Pantry Man Ttabbed Improves The pantry man who was severely cut by another waiter on a Rock Island diner, operating on the Golden State Limited, a week ago, is rapidly on the way to recovery. The recent shake-up of dining car crews has completely changed the faces of many of the men in crews effected, Diner 10017 suffered the loss of Jones, Green and Harvey which put an end to a crew which had mastered team work, Smith was taken from 876 and Dean Bruce was transferred from 10017. What a life! They never leave well enough alone. Fred Thornton Loses Little Ted The pride and joy of Fred Thornton, and apple of his eye, little Ted was snatched rudely away from the old master without warning and put on diner 10015, too bad. We wonder who Fre dwill kick around now! The raise for the S. P. cooks and waiters is gradual ynearing into sight and the dressmakers are getting ready to fill a long standing promise. Mr. Lee Lewis laid off last trip, supposedly sickness, possibly other reasons; you never can tell. A certain waiter on a cert State diner that went to Frisco last week on a special, crossed the Bay with two perfectly good eyes, but came back with one good eye shy. Know your ranch before you knock on the door is a good motto. Safety First UNION PACIFIC DINER FEEDS WHOLE TOWN Not often is a dining car called upon to feed an entire town, but this is what happened to diner No. 4018 at Lost City, Nevada. When the Union Pacific special arrived at St. Thomas with 395 people it at once became a rival to the population of the town as there are not many more people than this in the place. The result was that the 395 people soon ate up what food St. Thomas had available, and from that time on the town and everyone in it were fed by the above mentioned diners and distributed to the account of the terrific heat that did not let up till after dark. The kitchen unfortunately was lined up on the sunny side all day which added to the heat made by the range, the names of ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened the crew who stood this grueling test are as follows: Steward H. Galleher; Chef H. Sewell; 2nd F..Duril; 3rd Chas. Wright; 4th J. Estes; the watters were: W. Johnson, No. 1; L. Ashton, 2nd; G. West, 3rd; G. LaBoye, 4th; E. Abbott, 5th. SOUTHERN PACIFIC DANCE MAKES HIT The Dance given by the dining car employees last week at Arion Hall was a big success and much credit should be given to J. L. Johnson, J. L. Rainnes and Freeman for their untiring efforts to make it so. It is certain that another dance will be given in the near future, as the public has already requested they be given more often. --- Mrs. Thomas Davis and three children left this city for New Orleans for a visit of two months or more. Mr. Davis will join them later. -00- Ovid Scott has been crowing rather loudly since Los Angeles took Watts under her wing, but wait until he gets his taxes. -00- T. Harris is now the station duty King and slipped one over on the boys when he ducked The Lost City Special. -00- Since J. R. Woods has been running on the Owl, a common porter operating on the coast pool cannot speak to him. -00- Mr. Emil Boutte made a trip to the Lost City on a private car last week. -00- The Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, and Santa Fe employees are welcome to use the Railroad Clatter for their news and social matters, mail it to Chas. L. Upton, 2190 W. 30th St., Los Angeles. -00- LEGAL POINTS AND POINTERS Questions Answered By: CALVIN W. MURDOCK 1400 Central Avenue Q. The owner of a hotel enters into an agreement with "A" to manage his hotel, and "A" is to manage the hotel to the best of his ability, but in the interest of the owner, his duties were to collect all money coming in and make remittance to the owner on the first day of each week. The owner is to pay all expenses of running the hotel, and on the first of each month the said parties are to have an accounting of all business transacted in the month. After all expenses are deducted, the owner and "A" are to share equally in the net profits. In event either party becomes dissatisfied with the business, the relationship is to be terminated upon three days' notice. "A" without notice will abandon his employment; taking all the money colected in that month. (a) What is the owner's remedy for recovery? (b) is "A" guilty of larceny or embezzlement? A. (a) The owner may sue "A" for an accounting and recover his share of the net profits according to the agreement. (b) "A" is guilty of embezzlement. "A" came into possession of the money by virtue of his employment, which was a relation of confidence or trust toward his employer. He could not be guilty of larceny because the money was lawfully in his possession by virtue of his employment, and there was not that technical taking or asportation which is essential to the proof of the crime of larceny. Q. A man went into a grocery store and said to the grocer: "send me 5 bushels of apples." The grocer did so. Nothing was said about the price of the apples. What price could he collect from the purchaser? A. When a purchase is made without agreeing upon a price, it is held generally that the price may be determined by the usual course of dealing between the parties or by the general market price at the time and place of the sale.

Home Improvement Stressed In Western Extension Work A comfortable, convenient farm home with a satisfied, happy woman in it is the strongest influence tieing the family to the farm, says the United States Department of Agriculture. That is why extension workers from 11 Western States, meeting in their annual conference last winter, decided to include home management in the extension program and to emphasize home improvement. The rural population of the Western States has been more or less migratory. Pioneer farmers have had a speculative attitude toward the land and a tendency to seek improved conditions by changing location. Permanent agriculture is difficult to establish under such conditions, and the effectiveness of extension work is greatly lessened. Only recently has the farmer of this region ceased to abandon one farm for another every few years. Experience has shown that much convenience, comfort and beauty in the home can be had with a small expenditure of money. The home-improvement project under the western program will aim primarily to create in the minds of the farm people a feeling for the farm as a permanent home, and thus help to stabilize both social and economic conditions. Extension workers will attempt to bring about this attachment to the farm home by introducing better methods of conserving time and labor in the home and better management of income and material resources. Kitchen improvement and rearrangement, installation of water, sewage disposal, light, and heating systems-are some of the simple changes that can be made with small outlay of money. Using to the best possible advantage the material resources of the home and farm—food, equipment, fuel, and clothing—will aid in increasing the income available for improvement of the home. In 46 years the human population of the United States has a little more than doubled. There are fewer sheep, about the same number of hogs, and 25 per cent more dairy cattle. But in that same time production of poultry and eggs has increased more than four times.

NOTES Some Real Constructive Work Done By Executive Board in Last Meeting For April A sincere spirit of work was the keynote of the meeting held on last Saturday night, by the Executive Board of the Progressive Federation of Improvement Associations in its last meeting for the month of April, 1926 at the Christian Tavern, 1318 E. Vernon. Three new committees were appointed. A good number of the board members were present. The board will hold its next meeting on May 8th at the Palm Inn, 36th and East Jefferson Holds Important Meeting on Tuesday Of course it is useless to say to East Jefferson Improvement Association members be out on next Tuesday night, at the first meeting, of the month, for they will be there, but let each member bring a friend with him in order that the Metropolitan Baptist Church, 37th and Paloma street may be killed. As always, matters of real importance to us as a race will be discussed. Registration cards for block captains will be available at this meeting, for those who have not secured them before. Hollenbeck Heights Improvement As sociation Must Find New Name Because there is already a Hollenbeck Heights Improvement Association composed of white members, it will be necessary for the Hollenbeck Unit of the Federation to take a new name. Mrs. J. Scott, president of the Hollenbeck Heights Association is the only woman holding the office of president in the Federation. Propoganda Committee No. 1 to Give Mother's Day at Palm Inn Sun- There are those of our race in Los Angeles, who believes that it is worth a real sacrifice, to put before the general public of this city, in a different light, from that in which it is now viewed, the Negro race. This is the work, which the Propoganda Committee of the Federation has taken upon itself to do in the next five years. As a step in raising some of the real finance needed for this effort, Propoganda Committee No. 1 will give a Musical Tea at the Palm Inn, 36th and Bullong on Sunday afternoon, May 9th, Mother's Day. Let everyone wishing to give mother a trent bring her by the Mother's Day Tea. Excellent Musical program from 2 P. M. until 6 P. M. Admission 25c. Budlong. All Board members are urged to be present. East Vernon Aas'n. Asks Federation Aid San Francisco Director of Park Bulletin Mr. H. W. Markham, active and energetic vice-president of the East Vernon Improvement Association brought a written request from his Association to the Executive Board of the Federation, at its meeting on last Saturday night, requesting that body to aid the East Vernon members, in an attempt to have legally suppressed the coarse and insulting articles now being penned against Negroes by one James Bangle in the South Park Bulletin, a weekly publication. The board unanimously granted Mr. Markham's request, stating that such a fight as that should be the fight of every colored man and woman in Los Angeles. Some of the recent statements made concerning Negroes by this poisonous organ, are really almost too revolting to print, to print, and to print and being read by hundreds of ignorant poor whites, that BELIEVE everything that they see in print, regardless of its absurdity. Each of these ignorant whites as ignorant as he may be, has a vote and voice in the laws of California, therefore, the laws of the Federation feels that we as a race, can no longer, afford to ignore the "South Park Bulletin" and other vile sheets, doing the same ignoble work of stirring up, and keeping at fever pitch, race hatreds and intolerance. Report From Committee on Railroad Brings Out Fact That Discrimination on Trains in Northern Cities is Increasing That Jim Crow as regards the railroads was not confined to the South was brought out by the testimony of a member of the board, who stated that his wife was told, by a maid on a first class train from Chicago, that it was best that she did not let the conductor on that train know that she was colored, as they did not sell colored people tickets for that particular train. This statement came as a real surprise to most of the members of the Board, who had no idea, that a colored man's money was not as good as any other man's in the North on any train. Article From "West Jefferson Press" Brought to Attention of Board Under the caption, "Association Still Triumphant Under Face of Odida," the "West Jefferson Press," a white anti-Negro publication, says among many other things, which space will not permit us to reprint: "The Southern states being under the same constitutional laws as any other state in the Union, insist upon segregation of Negroes, regardless of their so-called "equal rights," because in those states each white man co-operates with his own color, and demands white supremacy, socially, politically and, otherwise. If the southern states can enforce segregation so can the Northern states, providing there is proper co-operation." And we will add, providing the Negro stays asleep as he is today. Saying, "What is the Hurry?" "Be not Alarmed," "All is Quiet on the Patomac"—and such delightful sounding observations, in the face of such statements as the one quoted above and actions such as that of the white "Home Protective Leagues," all over the city. Plans and Purposes of Federation Goes to Print The plan and purposes of the Federation as submitted, by a committee appointed for that purpose, are now in the hands of the printer. Three thousand copies are to be printed through the generosity of Atty. Macbeth, who is making the Federation present of the pamphlets, out of the $500.00 which he has pledged, to the Improvement Associations for the year 1926. These copies will be available either Friday or Saturday morning. Big Mass Meeting to be Held by Federation on May 11th A mass meeting of all associations and friends will be held on the night of May 11th at either the St. Paul or Metropolitan Baptist Church. Let all members see next week's paper for definite place and program of speakers. Organization and Propoganda, Committees to Give Big Dramatic Presentation About June 30th All association members, or friends of dramatic or musical ability, that would be willing to take part in a mammoth musical and dramatic production, to be staged by the Federation of Improvement Associations on or about June 30th, are requested to get in touch with M. C. V. Pitt, chairman of music at Beacon 3550 or with the Federation Headquarters, Axiride 455 us soon as possible. East Washington Improvement Ass'n Meets On Monday The East Washington Improvement Association, 15th to Washington, Main to the River, will meet next Monday right at the Independent Church. It is very important that all residents of this district, be present at this the first meeting of the month. There are so many civic needs that this Association should take care of for its district, beside the many racial problems that the Federation must have its help in solving, that all members should be present at all meetings. BUSINESS TALK BUSINESS TALK I Cor. 13:13—When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things. I use this text for my business talk hoping it may impress us that if we insist that we are men, we must pass the child stage of life. We have been out of slavery over sixty years. We are still doing things as children. One of the traits of child life is dependence. One of the traits of manhood is self-reliance. A child looks to his parent or guardian for support. A man relies upon himself. As a race we depend too much upon the white man for support. The white man must provide employment for himself, for his own people and for ours. Of course this condition must obtain for many years to come, but it could be relieved to a large degree if we would do more in the development of the art of racial self-reliance. The beginning is a more rigid economy. We spend heavily. My first pastorate was in a mining community where Negro Americans and white foreigners were employed in the coal mines. I went down one Saturday to the company office, and saw the men receive their pay. There was in vogue in the town the custom of having the bills for supplies which had been purchased from the company store, deducted by the company from the sums earned by the men. Or to put it differently the company was always paid first for the things bought by the men and their families at the store. I watched the foreigners receiving their money, and our people receiving their's. Our people had used up most of their money in the store and drew small sums of cash, while the foreigners drew the most of their's in large sums of cash. Those foreigners soon had good-sized savings accounts; and following that they soon owned their own homes and soon were conducting business enterprises of their own. We are not having anybody to deduct from our wages before we get it—but the fact is the Negroes are the heaviest spenders of any group in the United States. More economy will provide us larger working capital. Not so long ago I read something like this: The serious fault of this age is that men lack faith in men. Truly if we are to pass the test, we must have a strong faith in each other. We must:believe that we can do things. We must believe that some among us will be honest and square with us. And some others must prove that they are worthy to have us trust them. We must believe that savings can be joined together into capital, and thereby lines of business operated which will not only make profits for the investors, but employment for our people. An employer of labor is a benefactor—that is if he gives his employees a square deal. God save us from the kind of employers who by their consummate selfishness have made life miserable for the working men and women.

Goodwin and niece of Mrs. Janie Burruss Goodwin, married to Mr. Sundell Allen Alexander on Sunday, April 18th, 1926 at Chicago, Ill. Many of the younger set of this city will remember Mrs. Alexander, who visited here a couple summers ago and formed the center of attraction while here. We wish the newlyweds much success and happiness upon the sea of matrimony. Luck to you, Janie! COMMENTS Bv: W. J. WHEATON (Continued from Page One) was accused of the assault on a white woman (grown) and so great was the feeling that the State made a show of force. Machine guns were pointed at the mob when it made a demonstration. Soldiers with fixed bayonettes surrounded the jail and the court-house where the trial (?) was in progress. Fifteen minutes after he faced the bar he was convicted and sentenced to death. Later he was hanged and the mob paid for vantage seats to witness the spectacle. Later, a white man, son of a wealthy contractor, forced two Negro girls (children) into an alleyway, tote off their clothes and made the elder of the two sit near while he assaulted her little sister. The elder girl managed to escape and gave an alarm. The rapist was caught in the act. His garments were stained with blood caused by his bestial act. He was brought into court, and not even a pea shooter was needed for his protection. He was tried and convicted of INSANITY. We say, other nations are fast learning. SPARKS ---By--- N. M. THOMPSON Hello, Folks, here I am again. I suppose you all think that that terrific epidemic, better known as Spring Fever has affected Ye Sparks Editor. Well, I want to tell you that it hasn't as yet, but you know last week our office was just overflowing with news — therefore, the Sparks were shovelled aside and picked up in this week's load. 00— We are very sorry to know that Mr. Leonard Jenkins, a distinguished member of the famous Musketeer Club, a student of Lincoln High was drowned last Sunday afternoon off the foot of Pico and Santa Monica. It is stated that the young man's body hasn't been recovered. Miss Viola, Baucom of Roosevelt High and Mr. Willie Middleton of Jefferson High are as far as we know the only colored students that possess the honor of representing the student body of their high schools in this Third International Oratorical Contest. Good for them and let us hope that they will win. Remember Mr. Middleton will speak Friday evening, May the seventh at Hollywood High Hall and will Baucom will speak the same date and among the Roosevelt High Auditorium, as the final speakers for each district will then be decided upon. Come out and support them. A banquet was given under the auspices of our local Junior Division of the N. A. A. C. P., Tuesday evening, April the 27th at Christian's Palatial Tavern. Mr. Thomas W. Myles, President of the Junior Division acted as Master of Ceremonies and Dean Wm. Pickins of New York City and Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. was the speaker of the evening. Next week the Sparks will tell more about the sparky event. Mr. Harry I. Johnson has a hot Ford roadster and everything that goes with it. Therefore he has taken first place socially speaking. Miss Henrietta Walker, charming President of the Sweet Sixteen Club has returned to the Jefferson High Campus after a serious but brief illness at her home. Miss Walker is a Senior A or in other words she is a S '26 Senitora. Mr. Mathew Marmillion claims that it takes five tailors to make his suits and Foremen & Clark are the tailors.

VISIT CATALINA Early in the morning, long before the sun rays shed their golden beams on the mountain tops, Mrs. C. A. Bass and noice, Miss Madeline Johnson wended their way to San Pedro last Sunday morning, where they boarded the steamer "Avalon" for Catalina Island. Since coming to California last September, Miss Johnson has visited many beautiful spots, but after last Sunday's trip to Catalina she declared that not half of the beauty of California had ever been told. The steamer was welcomed into Catalina by the ringing of the chimes. After reaching the island the glass bottom boat and aeroplane were the first attraction for the duet and after the trip through the submarine gardens and the air the next thought was food. After a little query as to where they should dine, Mr. Matt Laws, a trusted employee of Wrigley, directed them to the St. Catherine Hotel in Fane, fans of Rotney Jepherson served them with a feast fit for a king and queen, and spared no time and pains in showing them the hotel and the beautiful grounds surrounding the same. CARD OF THANKS For myself and relatives, I am employing this medium through which to make known to my late mother's many friends as well as to my friends and those of the family our sincere thanks for the many kindnesses shown my mother during her illness, and for the many tributes of respect and expressions of sympathy from these friends at her death.

If you are lucky FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1926 Harry Beal Resigns From Central Motors Beginning the first of May, Harry Beal will no longer be connected with the Central Motors Company distributors of Hudson and Essex automobiles. The resignation of Mr. Beal is considered a great lost to the firm of which he was general manager. Mr. Trynin, president of Central Motors has the following to say concerning his general managers leaving. "Mr. Beal was appointed general manager of this company about a year ago. His resignation to assume more important duties brings regret. We found him utterly dependable; worthy of the confidence placed in him by his associates, white and colored. It is not necessary to recommend his qualification. The fact that the people backlash making the confident of matters when they knew Mr. Beal was in charge is sufficient indication. Following a week of hunting and fishing, Mr. Beal will be found at his new quarters in the New Age Office Building, 1201² Central Ave. 1c Per Mile A TRIFLE MORE THAN Is what it costs to travel via the Big Red Interurban Cars by using commutation tickets to make daily trips between your home and office. 0----00----0 Live where you like, summer or winter, and let the Pacific Electric take you back and forth.

Not only has former Southern California champion of men's singles Addie Nathaniel Harris decided to dust off his tennis bat and try for a huge comeback, but also pretty Bertha May Brown two years joint queen of Pacific Coast women's doubles informs this writer that she plans to win something, somewhere and sometime in the future, the next day morning, May ninth, so watch your step girls, and also the rougher sex had better have a care as Eddie waves a mean paddle these days, ask wify and little Eddie, Jr. Several high school boys and girls have also promised to enter the Mother's Day struggle as well as many of the following gang will be there whaling away: Joe Oliver; Ballinger Kemm; Julialette Lake Harris!

CHECKS AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA Today Southern California, worthless chess pieces made by the wholesale and flooding the business districts of Hollywood, Los Angeles and Panadena. How to stop this has been a great problem of the police and all law-making bodies, but it would seem to us that a method suggested by Mr. Morris Harris, president of the HARRIS SAFETY-FIRST CHECK SYSTEM, Inc., located at 1419 West Jefferson St, Los Angeles, is a good one, as they have worked out a system whereby it makes impossible chess forgary, overdrawing, makes identification positive, and is --- fool-proof. This is of vital importance. The writer of this article had recently called to his attention by one of the great amusement organizations in Hollywood, that the insurance companies made good on as high as $500 each month on bad checks made out. The writer found that in one of those service corporations, that as high as 50 per cent of checks made out to this organization were, for one reason or other, not good. The writer has also inquired of grocery stores and finds that it is a common weekly occurrence to receive worthless checks. To prevent this would mean a great saving to business and would prevent law-breaking. It is our belief that the adoption of any system that would make this impossible, at least should be tried out, and the system of Harris Safety-First Check system, Inc., seems to the writer to be everything, if not more than they claimed for it. The adoption of such a system throughout Southern California would be a saving to many hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it is with pleasure that we recommend the system as advanced by the Harris Safety-First Check system, Inc., and suggest to our Altadena and Pasadena readers that they giveouch with the representation of this system. EmPIRE 578 and arrange for a hearing. Mr. Harris has stated that he is willing to give such help, suggestions or advice that anyone desires along this line, without charge.—Pasadena this line, without charge.—Pasadena this line, without charge.—Pasadena Daily.

Bv: ANDRAE NORDSKOG Chairman Board of Governors Peoples Telephone Commission THE MITCHELL CASE Lsat Saturday night at Trinity Auditorium where my daughter appeared as the "Goddess of Liberty" as a signal for the entry of Brigadier General William Mitchell to the stage, I was impressed with the fact that you cannot keep a good thing down and also that truth crushed to earth will rise again. The U. S. Army Board, which the General described as being like most other boards, long, narrow and wooden, tried to prevent him from telling the truth about our national air defense needs and instead of staying in the army air forces, the General resigned after being demoted for his honesty to the American people and he is now bringing his message directly to the people in lectures all over the country. OUR TELEPHONE CASE Because the writer had courage enough to tell the citizens of this city the truth about the malign influences that were destroying the efforts to investigate the telephone rates, a certain political group in our city hall government which is controlled by Kent K. Parrot have sought to prevent the writer from gaining support from the suffering rate payers. This political group always works in the dark and it is impossible for the ordinary citizen to trace the source of the malicious information that is being spread to destroy the efforts of those of us who are trying to force an honest investigation in Los Angeles and obtain decent phone rates. Recent developments reveal that the Parrot political machine is trying to use the telephone propaganda for the furtherance of its political aims and that Parrot is seeking to control the county and state governments as well as the city government. God forbid I will give you some facts later that will aid you in your deductions. I have warned you of this political trickery since last November. PARROT-MAYOR'S TELEPHONE COMMITTEE Among the members of the so-called Mayor's telephone committee, it is an open secret that Mr. Parrot is boss of the committee. Last week I told you that Dr. Laura Locke, a Parrot appointee on the Public Utility Board of the city and member of the Mayor's telephone committee, said that Mr. Parrot is not a member of the telephone committee. He is a lawyer and has been given great power by the city administration by being entrusted with the power to recommend men to important posts in the city hall and it is a well known fact that anyone seeking concessions from the administration are given to understand that they must first see Mr. Parrot. The writer has had first hand experience with this damnable situation and knows whereof he speaks. When Mr. Parrot sent him to a man who is an agent for the telephone company to even give information about the telltell trust, he learned how tricky this city boss is. Under his control the Mayor's Committee will never obtain protection for the telephone users of this city. In eight months that committee has done nothing for the public. PEOPLES TELEPHONE COMMISSION After the Mayor's Committee failed to function and actually prevented the telephone investigation, the writer obtained support from the Southwest Chamber of Commerce whose members sponsored the organization of the Peoples Telephone Commission. We have now spoken daily and nightly to clubs all over the city and have the endorsement of 120 organizations. This is a movement of, for and by the people themselves. You must join us.

Declaybrook and Mr. F. A. Butter wee Sunday dine guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Robinson. Miss Elenora DeClaybrook has been spending the time with Misses Portia and Lucy Greer during her stay in the city. Sunday, April 8th, was Woman's Day at Kyles Temple A. M. E. Zion Church. A good program and appreciative audiences were the feature of all services. Keep off May 14th, St. Andrew's Chair will entertain with an old Song Concert Assuring prominent citizens here that all activities of the Sacramento public schools must include all or none of the pupils, school authorities have forbidden the operation of an organization known as the "Camp Fire Girls" since one of its recruiting officers insured Miss Portia Greer by asking her out after she had qualified for membership. The incident occurred recently when a young woman recruiting members among the girls of the Sacramento schools visited the Newton Booth school, of this city. The girls took enthusiastically to the work of the organization and many qualified for membership. Among these was a pop-up shop, and in one way worthy members of the "Camp Fire Girls." Then the enrolling began. Portia was taken aside and told that she could not join. Innocently asking why, she was told that it was because she was "Colored." When she went home broken-hearted her mother called the residence of Mr. B. A. Johnson, near which lives one of the school directors, and his daughter, Mrs. Lena Harner, with the mother, called on this lady, after calling the Superintendent of the City. Schools was given a hearing. The following day Mr. Johnson and Mr. E. W. Robinson visited the chairman of the School Board, relating the occurrence. The official expressed sur- --- . Res, Hum. 3857-1 Phones: Bus., Bdwy. 5808 prise at the matter as did all others hearing it. Not only was the abuse corrected at the one school but shortly afterward when activities of the "Camp Fire Girls" were advertised at another school, they were apparently forbidden there also. A prominent citizen is quoted as saying: "I am pleased to say that our school authorities distinctly recognize the principal that no organization, however meritorious, or benevolent, in purpose has the legal or moral right to go into the public school and discriminate against and humiliate any child. We have the assurance of the superintendent that all activities in the schools must include all. Mr. W. E. DeClaybrook was breakfast guest Monday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. F. O'Reilly. Mr. B. F. Kenny is confined to bed under the doctor's care sufferig from a sprailed back. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Talbort of Chicago were house guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Slaughter for a week.

The pastor preached in the morning from a subject bearing upon the future of the young girls which was enthusiastically received. The first six rows of benches in the middle section of the church were especially reserved for the girls and beautifully decorated as was the pulpit which added much color to the occasion. Preceeding the discourse by the pastor an address was made by Geneva Stocks who in her brief remarks prophesied a great future for the women as they were fast relegating the men to the rear. Edna Turna sang an inspirational solo immediately following the sermon which was much enjoyed by the congregation. D. E. Bostick remains critically ill at his home of Sunset avenue. Wm. Strickland is reported as suffering from an aggravated attack of the Flu at his residence on Waverly Drive. Capt. Reynolds, the Master Choir Director, has charge of the Friendship Baptist Choir during the illness of Mrs. W. C. Williams. 00— A very unique wedding anniversary was observed at the First A. M. E. Church Saturday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Floyd, when for the benefit of the Building Fund of that Church an elaborate program of marital ceremonies were carried out. Departing from the regular and long standing custom of receiving gifts on this occasion of their 3rd anniversary they made the affair more conspicuous by sending out invitations to the public, asking their attendance and a silver offering which very much shows the spirit of love for their church, which is not overlooked by the many parishioners. After the ceremony a reception was held in the social hall of the Church. The Girls of the First A. M. E. Church were much in evidence Sunday night when they presented their program of Girls Week, when many short speeches and addresses were made by them, with a short address by the pastor. Emphasis was made by the speakers to encourage a more consistent relationship with the church activities. Prof. Wm. Payne returned to his home in Imperial Valley, Sunday evening. He made himself very conspicuous in the chair at Friendship Sunday morning, by singing the tenor solo part in one of the anthems. Rev. J. A. H. Eldridge will speak for the Senior Mission Society of Friendship Church, Sunday afternoon, public is invited. Mrs. Thomas, formerly Miss Inese Madison, has returned to Pasadena after several months' absence.

Raisin Day saw our city filled with visitors from all over the state and both balls given that evening were a grand success. Mr. and Mrs. William A.

The spacious domicile easily accommodated a half hundred of the ultra fashionable set, and a very pleasant evening was spent. The Rev. Fred A. Hughes and the members of Bethel A. M. E.
