"Not Guilty," was the verdict of the twelve jurymen in the Sweet-Case after a deliberation of about three hours. And, Henry Sweet, charged with the murder of Leon Breiner, was a free man. Tears were in the eyes of nearly everyone in the court room, including the legal champion of the Sweets, laurence Darrow, again victor in his fight for the freedom of a man held in the clutches of the law. Judge Murphy's warning against any demonstration of emotions upon hearing the verdict seemed to leave but one outlet for the expression of the joy of those who heard the verdict —tears—and they flowed freely thru smiles. In the morning, at the opening of court, Murphy denied the motion of the defense to declare a mistrial due to prejudicial statements by Prosecutor Toms in his plea. In the court's charge to the jury he carefully outlined the law on what constituted homicide, murder in the first degree, second degree, and manslaughter, and what constituted a justifiable, excusable, or felonious murder. "It is my duty to warn you that prejudice or intolerance or passion should not enter into your deliberations upon the facts, else reason would depart and the calm consideration necessary for a just verdict would be lacking. Rich or poor, white or black, each man brought before the bench or jury entitled to equal consideration and justice." PROSECUTOR VOICES KLAN THEORY The Prosecuting Attorney made a very different sort of plea in a very different style. As he acknowledged, he was no match for the eloquent and powerful Darrow, he adopted a quiet style of almost unemotional delivery. Only in very rare occasions did he ruffle the calm in his speech. It was hard for a man to rise in the heat of the first class Ku Klux Klan life for the black man to lead and a first class Ku Klux Klan recommendation for how to dispose of Negroes that depart from that plan. The Prosecutor is a very shrewd man. He knew it wouldn't do to express his intolerance so he opened with a few very nice statements about his ignorance—which was apparent—of the so-called "Negro problem" and his ignorance of any solution to it. The purpose of this subtle approach, was, of course, to tell the jury that they were not to try to contribute anything to that solution. Toms lamented that the Sweets didn't give the money a "chance to charisma" and ridiculed the spirit that the Negroes showed in fighting for their rights in the resolution which in Toms words was, "We are not going to take what Turmer took. We will show these white people we mean business." Toms boldly defended the right of the white people in their neighborhood to keep Negroes out. His only HEAR! THE ANCIENT DER OF FORK 1 DR.

Small admission of 25 cents to insure a crowd. criticism might be based on the fact that they were so "over zealous" that they didn't use "legal means". However, Mr. Toms, heartily approved of keeping Negroes out of a neighborhood by "legal means". "We are naturally drawn to people of our own tastes and of our own color," was the argument of Toms which has a peculiar suggestion of the fiery cross. It was "perfectly natural and not necessarily criminal that they tried to keep their neighborhood the kind of a neighborhood their own people like to live in," said the Prosecutor. "They could be accused of them lawfully," suggested Tomshow. he didn't quote the "lawful means" he had reference to—perhaps he was thinking of the "legal code" of the Klan. Then in a sneaking effort to prejudice the jury by his statements, he began in eloquent language to praise the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and then subtly submitted that if he had the same attitude toward the N. A. A. C. P. that Darrow has towards the Waterworks Improvement Association, that he would say it was an organization for the purpose of electing colored people into office (whatever that offence might mean); or for the purpose of putting colored people into "white neighborhoods (what an "infamous act"); or for the purpose of promoting intermarriage—but before Toms offered any other "suggestions" the object of the defense brought the explanation from him that he meant to add that "he didn't of course, believe that." A ruling by Judge Murphy prevented his telling any more of the terrible things that he "didn't believe" about the N. A. A. C. P. In many parts of his arguments, he referred to the lifeless body of the innocent Leon Breiner who paid so dearly for his race hatred. Near Riot At Church Near Riot At Church Chicago, Ill., May 9.—Salem Baptist Church at 30th and Dearborn was the scene of a near-riot between the two factions into which the congregation has split over the recent conviction of its pastor, Rev. Blanton L. Rose, after being arrested with Mrs. Eveline Gibson, 19, a member of his Choir, in an apartment alone. The congregation has been about equally divided, for and against the minister; he obtaining an injunction to restrain them from interfering with his services; they taking one out against him to prevent him taking up collections at services. Five cars of the riot squad was necessary at the morning services to quiet the warring and belighted factions after the antis had cut the organ pipes and were raising a noisy disturbance. Quiet was only restored by the police charging both factions and clearing the church. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MAY 21, 1926 Warrant Officer Marchbanks Writes of Recent Contest VANCE HUNTER MARCHBANKS The Editor: California Eagle, 7 Contributed) California Eagle. (Contributed) At Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, just across the International Boundary lime, Nogales, Arizona, the writer visited the "Bull Ring" and witnessed the Jack Johnson-Pat Lester fight, Sunday afternoon, May 2nd, at 28:06. While it was not a "kick Out Fight," it was indeed a "knock out meeting." There was a mingling and mixing of all races, an humble Negro soldier would perhaps seated beside a white American Clansman. They exchanged speculations concerning the fight, and perhaps lay a friendly bet. It was indeed a class meeting. As I sat and gazed into the faces of the representatives of different races assembled around the "bull ring" to witness a prize fight I thought of the great idea and undertaking of the age. I looked into the future and saw the formation of a new, cosmopolitan nations, whose mission is to give a better and broader application of the principles of civil liberty to make way for the growing civilization and Christianization of free humanity. I thought of the churches, the theaters, schools, hotels, restaurants, and public convergence throughout the "land of the Free and Home of the Brave." I thought of the excuses presented for segregation, which are all based on the pretention that the races will get along better if they are stalled off in spearer compartments like ferocious wild animals.—And I said to myself "What A Lie." While sitting in this great arena, literally crowded with mixed races of humanity, I saw the human products of God's fruitful creation present for inspection—6,000 strong. No drunks, although the town was as wet as the Atlantic Ocean, and good beer was being sold and drunk right on the ground as freely as lemonade at a circus. I wish a representative of every "doubting" Thomas" community in the United States could have been there just' to have, observed how peaceful and harmonious a cosmopolitan congregation can blend when law is supreme and accepts unconditional compromises on account of race or creed when the laws of the land are disobeyed. Augusta Votes Sewers For Colored Area (By: The A. N. P.) Augusta, Ga., April 22.—The City Council of Augusta has just authorized extensive additions to the sewerage system, which will greatly improve the sanitary conditions of the southern section of the city in which live most of the colored population. The project was initiated and carried success through the efforts of the local inter-racial committee, composed of a number of leading citizens of both races. Hon. George Barrett, prominent lawyer, heads the white section of the committee, and Miss Lucy Laney, principal of Haines Institute, is chairman of the colored section. Commenting editorially on the enterprise, the Augusta Chronicle says, "It is of importance not only to the community immediately interested, but to the whole city, since the people of all Augusta are interested in and affected by the welfare and health of the colored population."

Macbeth Receives Thunderous Applause as Speaker at White Social Conference Held at Hotel Maryland, Pasadena Before a large audience, representing delegates and visitors from social institutions all over the State of California, Atty. H. E. Macbeth, president of the Progressive Federation of Improvement Associations spoke on the "Housing Problems of the Colored Girl in Industry." In his tall Atty. Macbeth, made a place to bring in and discuss forcefully and at length the injustice worked upon colored girls by the Los Angeles Playground Commission, in barring them from the pools on any day but Mondays when most of them have no day off but Thursday. His speech was followed with so much applause that a Los Angeles playground worker present rose when discussion was called for, and denied his accusations. Saying that one swimming pool was always available for colored people. Then Mrs. Sadie Cole, who was present arose and gave those assembled a vivid description of the filthy and unsanitary condition of the Vignes pool, which was open to the colored people the season was open. A unanimous vote was passed that Atty. Macbeth's speech be printed for distribution. 00— Vernon Ave. Improvement Association to Give Neighborhood Social The Vernon Ace. Improvement Association met on Friday, May 7th; Mr. H. W. Markham, vice-president, presided. It was decided by those present to give a Neighborhood Social in the near future. All members are requested to be at the next meeting to make arrangements for this entertainment. -00 West Side Halls Enthusiastic Meeting The reporter is at a loss to decide what to report and what to omit, this association does so much real work at each meeting. The excellent report of Mr. Leonard, chairman of the Neighborhood Survey Committee, would give one the impression, that if the race members of other neighborhoods are doing as much building, repairing, and improving as those of West Jefferson, the race is very busy making their homes more attractive and valuable. A committee was appointed to arrange the program for the groundbreaking of the school tunnel. Doubless it will surprise the white population of the West Jefferson district, to discover that the colored citizens are taking the lead in the arrangement of this civic matter. They are not used to colored people being citizens. Mrs. Lulu Slaughter gave a very impressive outline of the plans for the Home and Beautification Month contest. Every member of the association present pledged fifty cents to the fund of the contest, for printing and awards. The West Side really does things. Watch us win the Beautification Contest! We especially challenge East Adams, and East Jefferson, the associations next to us in size. Someone whispers, look out for Pico Heights! So we include her in our challenge. One of the biggest things attempted in the field of dramatics by our race in many a day, will be the staging by the Propaganda Committee of the Federation of the play, "Easy Money" with an atmospheric prologue of a hundred and twenty characters. Beautiful costumes, a chorus of a hundred voices, real dramatic acting, well directed, will make this production one that not a single colored person in the State of california should miss.

A. A. C. P. Baby Contest was launched in a most auspices manner last Sunday afternoon at the A. M. E. Zion Church. Forty-five beautiful babies, their mothers and contest sponsors, were presented to the audience amid great enthusiasm. Dean Wm. Pickens, in speaking on "Mother" declared it to be the most wonderful beginning he had ever witnessed in a baby contest in the history of the N. A. A. C. P. Babies represented First A. M. E. Church; Independent; Wesley Chapel; Birch St. Christian; A. M. E. Zion; The American Legion; U. S. Army and little Farina, the movie star, has been added to the list.

As some of the babies were not present Sunday afternoon and others have registered since then a "Baby Exhibition" will be held at Wesley Chapel, Sunday afternoon, May 23rd, at 3 o'clock. A special program will be given by children. Come and bring the babies and their sponsors.

THE BATH HOUSE BATTLE BY: WILLIAM PICKENS ( For the Associated Negro Press ) The colored people of Los Angeles, California, find that they must fight to keep the civil rights of citizens as do colored folk elsewhere in the states. They are now engaged in a court battle to keep for their children the right to bathe in any of the municipal bath houses, and not to be compelled to walk half way across creation to a Jim Crow bath house. This case is known as Cushnie vs. the Play Ground Commissioners of the City of Los Angeles. The enemy tried to demur on the ground that the courts had no jurisdiction. The colored contenders won against this demurre so that the case has had to come to trial. It is now in the hands of the courts, and the outcome will be of interest. When the President of the United States sanctions Jim Crow bath beaches in Washington, it certainly strengthens the position of those who want to Jim Crow the Negro in bath houses in other cities. The colored American must do all in his power to prevent the federal government from going further in the recognition of Jim Crowism. Public segregation in any particular supports and aids public segregation in any other particular. Either public segregation is wrong or public segregation is right. If it is wrong, it is all wrong all the time. The battle of 1926 was a battle against Slavery. It is a hard fight but must be won eventually, why not now? NATIVES LOSE IN SO. AFRI CAN COLOR BAR FIGHT (By the Associated Negro Press) Capetown, South Africa, May 19.—The passage of the color bar bill here Wednesday sounded the death knell of the hopes of the natives to establish a "Black State" to be governed and ruled by Negroes, and further substantiates the conviction that the governmental powers fear American Negro Leadership. The passage of the bill, which denies the natives the privilege of participating in government affairs and of taking part in certain classes of industry requiring skilled intelligence has aroused the natives and they are soothing with discontent. Protest after protest has been sent to Prime Minister J. R. M. Hortsgom, by the natives, to no less General Hortsgom in training, to listen to the protests, declared that the bill is the only way to keep South Africa for white men. The natives, sometime ago, gestored that a "Black State" be established, thereby making the segregation complete, rather than the partial segregation as embodied in the Color Bar Bill. They further asserted that American Negroes could be interested in the project and men capable of running the government could be secured from this source. Due to the jealousy and fear of the powers that be of any race whose progress rivals theirs, this negotiation fell upon deaf ears and the Color Bar Bill passed. SCENE VENTURA Last Friday morning at ten o'clock sharp, Attorneys Lewis K. Beekes and Afue McDowell, representing the complainant, Mrs. Charlotte A. Bass, versus Ealey and Ealey, proprietors of The Adobe Cafe in which, on Nov. 6, 1925, Mrs. Bass, accompanied by her niece, Miss Madeline Johnson, Dr. Vada Somerville, and Mrs. Pardon, while on their way to Santa Barbara, were refused food; filed into Judge Rochester's court. The scene was perfect—a most beautiful court room in which the furniture was beautiful, and polished up to the last minute. On face value it was not unlike the scene for one of the acts in the "Merchant of Venice". Judge Rochester entered the room sharply at ten, took his seat in the high place according to his station—Mrs. Ealey entered on her husband's arm, and then came twenty or thirty white men and women, more or less red in the face. The order of service was the roll of ventiremen, and as they answered the call it panned out that they were all from the Venetura or near by and were personally acquainted with, and in some cases friendly with, the defendants, Mr. and Mrs. Ealey. However it consumed the whole morning selecting the jury, which, nevertheless had already been carefully collected by the powers concerned in what could easily be called a mock trial. After the jury was settled at about 12:25 the judge announced recess until 1:30. Members of the jury did not hesitate to stop in the corridor, and hold conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Ealey. Sharply at 1:30 the actors in the trial play were in their places. The colored witnesses were sent out of the court room except Mrs. Bass, who was called to the stand and testified that on Nov. 6, 1925, she and those already named had been refused food in the Ealey cafe on account of their color. Although Dr. Somerville, Mrs. Pardon and Miss Johnson had been dismissed from the room their testimony corroborated that of Mrs. Bass to the letter. Mr. and Mrs. Ealey when called to the stand testified that even though serving while people at the time they did not have time to serve them. The Ealys also testified that Mrs. Bass went into their place and threatened to close its doors unless she and her friends were served, which statement was emphatically denied by all complaint witnesses. The two men who were in the cafe when the Bass party was refused were not called to the stand. At the close of the trial which was certainly creditably handled by Attorneys Beeks and McDowell, the jury was out fifteen minutes and came in with a verdict in favor of the defendants, Mr. and Mrs. Ealey. Howard Wins Debate (By The Associated Negro Press) Atlantic City, May 19.—In the debate between Howard and Lincoln Universities held here on Friday, Howard University walked away with the honors. The judges were unanimous in their decision. Howard defended the negative of the question, "Resolved: That Labor should enter Politics as a Separate Party". The judges were Ralph McCannell, principal of the Richmond Avenue School; Assistant City Solicitor, Joseph Perskile, and Prof. S. C. Dike, of the Department of English, Atlantic City High School.

"HARLEM LIFE" BY: TED Possibly the highest renting prices for colored people to be found in America are paid by the residents of Harlem. Unserupulous landlords demand and receive prices that would be next to impossible to obtain anywhere else in the United States. The prices for three and four room apartments range from $36.00 to $65.00 per month, five and six rooms from $65.00 to $50.00 and even as high as $110.00, depending entirely upon the locality, conveniences, etc. Many humorous stories have been told in an effort to account for how these tenants pay these extraordinary prices and at the same time manage to pay their other general expenses. One solution is offered in the giving of "Parlor Socials" otherwise referred to as "Rent Parties" which, somehow continue to flourish in spite of the many cabarets that exist here. An admission of twenty-or fifty cents is charged. For this amount you are privileged to dance and mingle with the other guests; for a small amount not over ten cents you may check your wraps, etc.; in another room one may find coffee, sandwiches, and other delicacies, including dinner. Still another room is reserved for "refreshments," more often referred to by prohibition officers as "Hootch." The quantity desired for consumption, large or small, is left entirely to the discretion of the individual. The colored man is "King" in Harlem. Members of other races defy one another in paying him homage—catering to his every whim. The sense of his popularity, however, lay in the contents of his purse—and where he will spend it. Temptations more vivid and alluring than the flaming colors used in Bull Fights to tempt and decoy their victims, are flaunted in his face. The landlord, merchant, grocer, butcher and bootleger, all vie with each other for his patronage. He is cajoled and flattered with attention, in an effort to relieve him of his roll. Yes, the colored man is "King" of Harlem and all others are his loyal and faithful subjects. The aristocratic members of the Four Hundred use Fifth and Park avenues to stage their fashion displays and dress parades, setting a standard that is accepted by the entire country. Colored Harlem with its Lenox and Seventh avenues, furnish a striking contrast to the glamor that surrounds these two thoroughfares. They set a standard for colored America, for colored Harlem will be fashionable, even though it may miss an occasional meal. Yes sir, anything that you see on Park or Fifth avenues may be seen again on Lenox and Seventh—vies sir! An achievement in the annals of music was realized a few days ago, when the famous choir of St. George's P. E. Church gave a program of Negro Spirituals at Mother Zion A. M. E. Church. It is the first time in the history of New York that a white choir ever sang in a Negro church. Harry Burleigh, distinguished Negro composer and for thirty years a member of the St. George Choir, marched in with them, evincing the affection and esteem in which he is held and the distinction that he has achieved as a composer. All of the spirituals rendered by the choir were Burleigh's compositions. St. George's Church was the first white church to introduce and sing Negro spirituals, which have now become an integral part of their services. RIVERSIDE Rev.

I don't want to stand, with the setting sun, And hate myself for the things I've done. I don't want to keep on a closet shelf A lot of secrets about myself. And tool myself, as I come and go, Into thinking that nobody else will know The kind of man I really am; I don't want to dress up myself in sham. I want to go out with my head erect— I want to deserve all men's respect; But here in the struggle for fame and self I want to be able to like myself. I don't want to look at myself and know That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show. I never can hide myself from me; I see what others may never see; I know what others may never know; I never can fool myself, and so, Whatever happens I want to be Self-respecting and conscience-free. Don't fall to see the latest models in sports wear, afternoon and evening dresses. Where? At Wesley Chapel Church. When? Friday night, May CERTIFICATE OF BUSINESS DISTRICT NO.

M. and 8 P. M. Up-To-Date Sermons Minister of Christ Temple Church, 37th and Naomi THE CHRIST AND HIS GARDEN "Let my beloved come into his garden and eat his precious fruits." Song of Solomon 4:16. The religion of Jesus here presents itself as a romance, as a love affair between earth and heaven, between God and man. Let my beloved come into His garden. God has many times declared His love to us, and we have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him, says the Holy Spirit in 1 John 4:16. Now there is nothing as pure, nothing as long-suffering, nothing as unselfish, nothing as restful and trustworthy as love. It is the human loves that make life worth while. Love of parents for children. Love of children for parents. Love of husband for wife, wife for husband, and friend for friend and lover for lover, neighbor for neighbor and citizen for country. these kinds of love help to make life more beautiful, thrill and romance and unselfish interest, sustaining kindness and pity and mercy and tenderness. But as all flesh fails and all these loves fail and the human soul needs and cries out for an everlasting love. This the religion that Jesus gives us. The absence of love makes hell the place it is. I. Now, notice how intensely personal our religion is. Let my beloved come into His garden. Can you say that? Is Jesus your beloved? I do not ask you believe He is the Son of God? though that is vital. I do not ask you belong to the church? though you should. I do not ask, are you a preacher? though you must have preachers. I ask, do you really love Him? Has the Holy Ghost shed the love of God abroad in your heart? Rev. 5:1-5. That's the question. This is a personal question, beloved. O, I am not even asking are you as good as others. God will have to settle that, you can't, I can't. And it wouldn't matter much if we could. The question is do we individually love Him? Is he your beloved, II. The Garden. There are three aspects of the garden—the garden of the soul, the garden of the church and the garden of the kingdom or the redeemed earth. He comes to you and me. He would enter in and walk up and down and enjoy the fruits. Let my beloved come in. He makes the soul "as a watered garden." His church is the vineyard, or orchard, or garden, or field, into which we are sent to labor. Let my beloved come into His garden. Of the church He says, "This is Zion. Here will I dwell. Here will I rest." The garden of the kingdom. The time will come, John tells us in Revelation, the the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ. Matthew, "and that He send his angels and gather out of His kingdom all things that offend. The early Christians looked for His coming, longed for it, loved it, lived prepared for it and prayed for it. "Come, Lord Jesus," was their cry. Amen. All things belong to Him. He hath redeemed all things unto Himself. His blood hath not only redeemed our souls but the whole earth, so that by redemption as well as by creation the earth is the Lords' and the fullness thereof." Amen. II. The will and the call. "Let my Beloved come into his garden. He lingered for and invited. He stands at the door and knocks, but He will not force His way in. He must be invited in. Let my beloved come in. Do you want Him in your life. Do you, like David, thirst after God, the living God, He will assuredly come in and feast with you. Do you want Him in your church, Not merely religious emotion or enthusiasm, but do you want the living God? Let my beloved come in. Invite Him. Let me pray. No. So prayer we may hasten His personal coming to the earth. Let my beloved come. Come, Lord Jesus. Tarry not. IV. Now, just a word about the precious fruits. Never a garden grew such precious fruits as that which the Holy Spirit grows in the garden, of the soul, in the garden of the church, and shall one day grow profusely in a God-filled world. Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. Where these are no law is needed, for they proceed from and fulfill the "law of love." Holiness, it is all summed up in that word love. For holiness is not a thing that makes us absurdly effensively and disagreeably religious but it is the gentle, soothing, God-made making us really fit to live with. Let my Beloved come in. Even so, Come Lord Jesus, Amen. Come in. Have thy way in me, in the church, in the world. Come in and eat. O Blessed One, the fruits are here. Come, eat. Amen. —AND WHAT IS LIFE? LOVE--is tender in its blossom; is beautiful in its bloom; is droop in storm and tempest; is fragrant in its wither; and chill in death--And this, IS L-I-F-E. J. E. P.

Upton THE LOST CITY SAN FRANCISCO MAID LOSES POPULARITY Maid M. B. operating on the Sunset Limited between S. F. and N. O. has been the chief topic of indignant conversations among porters and maids on account of her heartless act toward another maid in distress and sorrow last week. A maid operating between N. O. and N. Y. received a wire informing her that her mother had died suddenly in S. F. and to come at once. Burdened down with grief she asked maid M. B. if she would trade runs with her for a trip so she could bury her mother. Maid M. B. at first would not hear to her plea and only consented to make the trade after the girl paid her $50 for doing so. Bad news spreads quickly and it was only a short time before all maids and porters were talking indigently over the affair and took it up themselves to inform the General Manager of her actions. It has been rumored that speedy action will soon take place toward maid M. B.'s unfair methods in dealing with her co-worker, Mrs. Nellie Anderson. Such methods are little short of deplorable and such acts of disloyalty should not exist or be tolerated by the management. Mrs. Anderson's husband was an old and faithful employee of the Pullman Co. and died some months ago while in the service. OLD PORTER PASSES AWAY Gus Walker, one of the district's oldest employees passed away last week and was buried from Conner Johnson & Co.'s funeral parlor. Mr Walker operated the Bakersfield car and was well known in Bakersfield. Many men, prominent in business circles, would plan to send their daughters and families to Los Angeles with "Old Gus" as he was called by those who knew him. He will be greatly missed by those people as well as by a large circle of Porters in Los Angeles. --- PROMOTIONS COME EAST PROMOTIONS COME FAST The powers that be in Pullman Co. are like an unseen hand, you never know what they are going to do next. Promotions in the Los Angeles district have come thick and fast in the last few days. Mr. Thatcher, platform agent for a number of years at the Santa Fe. is now service inspector appointed platform agent at the S. P. Depot has been transferred to the office as senior clerk. Mr. Wills, assistant cashier and relief platform man is now holding the night platform job at the S. P. Mr. Lambert, lost property clerk, will take Mr. Wills' former position as relief platform agent. Mr. Robertson of El Paso will take Mr. Thatcher's former position at the Santa Fe. And the WRITER, POOR WRITER, will continue to spread sheets between Los Angeles and San Diego,—what a life, what a life! I W. BOTTS HERE J. W. Bots, porter instructor of Portland, Oregon, is in Los Angeles, rounding up a rage of men to work out of Portland during the summer rush. Mr. Bots, besides being an editor for a little pamphlet published in Portland, has the distinction of oeing the only Pullman Porter to wear his full uniform in Meir and Franks department store at Portland. He can be heard snoring at the Bronx Hotel any time after 8 p. m. —00— Pullman conductor King, who formerly operated on The Sunset Limited is now running to Chicago on the Santa Fe—The boys all miss him. —00— That line up for the red hot Shriners special is getting smaller now, after a while we will know just who is going—It's every tub boys! —00— W.

Commissary last week, it reminded me of 50th and State St. in Chicago, all the red hot sheels we lined up taking their morning sun; R. R. Burns the Beau Brumell of the S. P. was looking as sharp as a carpet tack. Girls, if you want to see some hot papas, you ought to take a stroll down by that S. P. Commissary. The S. P. Dining Car Stewards were turned down flat in their request for more wages. Mr. Pollock turned a deaf ear to their pleas. The S. P. put on two new White traveling Chefs to improve the service. My! we didn't it was that bad. They said they could not find any improvement to make on The Golden Snow, no wonder Harry Levette is on there. J. H.

I wonder what alibi Fred Thornton will have this year to keep from going to Chicago. He made a wonderful speech to Mr. Walsh last year. Mr. Geo. Feree has been on the sick list for the past week and gives much credit to Miss Inez Hunter for his speedy recovery. Mr. Macabee Hunter, brother of Hunter purchased a red hot Light Six Studebaker, and now we will look forward to seeing Miss Hunter at the wheel in the near future.

MURDOCK 1400 Central Ave. Points of Interest 00 Constitutional Law—Police Power and Right of Eminent Domain distinguished. "It may be well to note the distinction between the police power and the right of eminent domain. In the exercise of the latter private property may be taken or damaged to serve a public use, but not without just compensation; While the police power is usually exerted merely to regulate the use and enjoyment of property by the owner, or, if he is deprived of his property, outright, it is not taken for public use, but rather destroyed in order to promote the general welfare of the public and in neither case is the owner entitled to any compensation for any injury he may sustain in consequence thereof, for the law considers that either the injury is damnum abuse injura or the owner is sufficiently compensated by sharing in the general benefits resulting from the exercise of the police power. The absence of compensation, of course, makes the police power much more harsh in operation than the power of eminent domain, and hence subject to stricter limitations." State v. Thomas, 123 S.

THE MARKS OF A MAN SUNDAY EVENING ADDRESS BY DR. T. L. GRIFFITH Proverbs 22:29—Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. In the beginning let us look at the marginal rendering of this verse. There we find the word "obscure" for the word "mean." The man who is diligent in his business will not stand before men who are obscure; he will stand before the mighty men of the earth. One thing will bring it about that a man can stand before mighty men, and measure arms with strong men; and that is he must be diligent in his business. Another scripture says: A man's gifts will make a way for him, and will bring him before great men. Now, I feel highly honored to have the privilege of speaking before the Business Men's League. In the beginning I wish to use a few "donts". Those DONTs are helping us negate the importance with the principle of diligence in business, and by being before your minds properly the marks of a man. DON'TS Don't be untidy. Stick a pin there. If you have a store, do not keep a dirty one. Folks who like to keep clean around their homes are not interested in buying things out of a dirty store. And do not wear a dirty face, dirty hands, and dirty clothes. Dirt repels the very buyer whom you would like to come around. Remember the colored people do not have to go to a dirty store when there are plenty of stores kept nice and clean, where everything looks inviting. (2) Don't allow loafers. It means that when a colored man has nothing to do, he feels that he can find the business place of his friend and make that place his hang-out. People are not interested in running into loafers when they go into a place of business. When a man goes into a barber shop or into any kind of a store, he goes in to get such goods as the merchant has to sell; he does not go in to be intruded on by a bunch of loafers. (3) Don't run to churches to put over propositions for you. Put them over yourself. The preacher is a man. So are you. He has leadership under God in spiritual matters. When he goes out of his way to build up your business, he may be neglecting his own. Do your own work. Push your own business. Use sane and sensible methods, of building up your business. If anything gives the preacher more power than you, it is a clean life, you can conserve your vital energy, and do big things in the world. You cannot waste your bodily vigor by a sinful life, and have powerful and high thoughts with which to put ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` LORENZO LOMBONI Artist of Treasure over great and constructive programs for the race and for the world. (4.) Don't expect the world to run to you just because you are a colored man going into business, and be prepared to compete with your white brother who is after the same trade you are seeking. (5.) Don't say—I CANT. For if you say it more than likely it is a lie. It can be done. The world has no constructive program put over rb men who only see failure. Say "I CANT" and "I WILL". Did the man who first went out to the north pole say; I can't? No, he said "I can and I will". Did Amurdense say I can't? No he said I can and I will. Stop saying Negroes will not patronize their own people. They would patronize you if you knew how to get the patronage. (6.) Don't start into business until you are prepared. And this does not omit yme until you have your capital organized—it means that, and also until you know something of managing the kind of business you seek to carry on. Out in Iowa some years ago, a young man went to the state college, and took a course of study in engineering. It was a new course for a Negro to pursue. He finished school. He went into business for himself. A few weeks ago I read in the papers that the very college from which he graduated had awarded him a contract for a new building at the University costing a quarter of a million dollars. He prepared himself. And the world will never close its doors permanently to the prepared man. He may have reverses, disappointments and humiliations. But the Lord's highways are opened to the prepared man. You are not failing because you are a Negro. You are failing for some other reason. (7) Don't ignore the Christian faith. Go to church. Give your heart to God, if you have not already done so. And try to stand for the high ideals of the Christian faith. You would be surprised to know how many of the white business men are members of churches. You have just as much right to expect yourself to be perfect as you have to expect some other man to be perfect. It is mighty hard to blame someone man for his crookedness in one way when you are so "cussedly" crooked in another way. (8) Don't be tardy. You will be surprised if you have large business relations with our people how little they value time. We can never make a business group until we learn to be on time to the things we are doing for ourselves. Let us have church services, funerals and lodge services on time, and let us open our stores on time. The lesson will be very wholesome. The preacher often has to stop in the midst of his sermon, and wait for a lot of late floating iceburgs to come in and take their seats, and he has to preach like the thunder to warm them up; because they chill the rest of his crowd. (9.) Don't be dishonest. Do not expect to get rich in too short a time. Better be fair with your customers, and win their good will than to expect to reap large profits at the sacrifice of your people. MODERN EQUIPMENT, SYMPATHETIC AND ECONOMIC SERVICE TO ALL. ROBINA I. SMITH MANAGER BROOKS AC HOME SON ST. Some time ago some one told me that a majority of the men of all races who go into business fail. That is one reason. They are too selfish and therefore too unfair with their customers. And am reminded right here says that our real estate men have now a large opportunity to make Los Angeles a pleasant place in which to live. Two great institutions, the Second Baptist Church and the Y. M. G. A. have been erected in this section of the town. The two structures will represent an investment of about hilt a million dollars. Any other group of people would make this a basis for developing a fine residence section of this part of the city. I believe in some way they ought to find a way to make the physical conditions ideal. The people out in Wilshire are going to have a residential section—a part of the city for homes and for churches. Shall we mar the beauty of our new buildings by permitting little dingy shacks and little dirty stores, and all kinds of undesirable sights in such close proximity to these beautiful buildings. It will be that way if all that the real estate dealers care for is a five percent commission, on any kind of a bargain they may be able to drive. And we ought to be alert to make the best moral environment for our people as they are going to these buildings. Bootlegging and moral delinquents ought not to be jammed up against people who are trying to make a decent environment for their families. Now negatively I have tried to set forth some things that go to make a man fit in the business world. Positively speaking now what are the marks of a man? I shall name a few of them. Life Reliance. Herein in 'the difference between a man and a child. A child depends upon others—a man depends upon himself. A child expects the parents to provide shelter, food, clothing, schooling, and all things incidental thereto. When one becomes a man he expects to do all these things for himself. A race out of slavery and dwelling among the descendants of the former owners would for a long time be a child race. But there is a transition period from childhood to manhood. We cross what school folks sometimes denominate the teen age. I suppose we are in this transition period now. God grant we shall soon be men, men who shall be able to cultivate in ourselves and in others racial self-reliance. We shall demonstrate that we can do things. And let us demonstrate that we can do big things Little deeds are unworthy of strong men. (2.) Freedom. Every red blooded man wants to be free. He wants to be free himself and he wants his family to be free. Man's first fight was for a free world. The struggles that led the world to democracy have been ways for freedom. The Negro must salute for every kind of freedom. The Negro must star by the side of the American white man and help him to get out of himself some of this racial self-concept which imagines that the free ```markdown ``` E.G.

A Negro is the poorest kind of a business man who has no interest in the racial strivings for freedom. You know some years ago they told him in the south to get property and to get education; that these would solve the race problem. We have found out that our property is valueless unless we have freedom. Many of us left the south and the southern folks have followed us into the north and west. We cannot hope to save in the north what we lost in the south, unless we first see to it that our liberties are made secure. And do not be afraid to spend your money to make rights for your rights in the courts. White men came to liberty by wading through blood. Let us come to liberty by wading through the courts. We can't do it while we are willing to waste thousands in an evening dance, and refuse to give a few dollars because we cannot follow every dollar all the way to its destination after it leaves our hands in fighting the battles of the race. If I had my way I would send every jim crow law to or any statue book to hell. (3. Friendliness. Every man has friends. The only man who does not need friends is a fool. And every Negro needs a white friend. And I am not afraid to tell you that God has raised up a white man for every struggling Negro man we are sometimes too extravagant in our use of language when we talk of the white people. Some of them are good. Indeed with all the racial intolerance and narrowness of the American white man, he is the one I know the best. And along my hard pathway in life I have always found one who would help me in my struggles. And I have found one everywhere I have ever lived. In trying to get my children through school; in trying to help work; whether securing property or diminishing securing loans or getting contribution. I have always found that the Lord sent one of them to help me along. Let me read to you another verse of the Proverbs: A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly. The Bible makes friendliness the mark of a man Make friends. Live so that your friends will not be ashamed of you. While we must work for social freedom, we must also work just as hard for racial good will. You will never be able to live in the United States without the good will of the ruling race. Do not let him buy your friendship with a bribe. Be a man. Make him respect you as a man. Do not be cringing under him, and petrifying for special favors. He will hand you a morsel as he would a tramp, and then despise you afterward. His inward soul will respect your strivings for manhood, as you try to make of him a friend. (4) Helpfulness.

You must be willing to live a broad life, so that you belong to more than to your family. One man is universally held in accepte. That is the rich man who does nothing for any one apart from his own family. Rich people and some who are not yet rich, are troubled by income taxes, and inheritance taxes and things like that. The government had to tax the holdings of the rich. Too many of them were willing to enjoy the struggles of others who made possible the conditions of American life, but they wanted to enjoy all and share none. Laws now make them part with some of it. Selfishness brought those laws into being. The Christian life is the life we live for others. I want to see our people rise in the economic world. But as we rise in wealth, let us also arise in every Christian virtue. The greatest bulwark of a nation is not its force—notits armies and its navies of the water and the air; the greatest bulwark of any people is the spirit of righteousness in the heart. There is a greater riches than the riches of gold; there is the riches of a godly life.

Way back yonder when he depended upon neighborhood gossip to herald the fact that Mr. So-and-So had started a grocery, he did not visualize the benefits to accrue from printed words upon paper or the announcement card of his entree in business. Time has brought us right along with the modern manner of doing business, cooperation will do the rest.

It certain, the proposition is but old by quite a few that there m that this legislation was to beive for baiting purposes. Negro live this heit whatever some Re The utterances of Victor Bergen on the floor of Congress a few days ago, when he chided the Republican majority in Congress for its absolute failure to make even a serious attempt to carry out its platform promises, stressing the anti-lynching bill; is indeed worthy of serious thought. One thing certain, the proposition is but a fulfillment of the opinion held by quite a few that there never has of late been any idea that this legislation was to be enacted and was simply kept alive for baiting purposes. Negro voters were expected to swallow this bait whenever some Republican was in a tight place for election to office. However we do believe that Mr. Berger is sincere and that had he the power the bill would go over in short order. He says: "On Friday, April 16, I introduced a bill to make participation in lynchings a Federal offense and to punish both individuals who join such mobs and officials who fail to take proper precautions to prevent lynchings. "The failure of the Republican party to carry out its platform pledge of 1924 for the enactment 'at the earliest possible date of a Federal anti-lynching law, so that the full influence of the Federal government may be wielded to exterminate this hideous crime', is one of the major crimes of omission of the oolidge administration. "With a majority in both houses or congress powerful enough to carry out every policy of the administration, including a tax bill that enables wealth to escape its share of the burdens of taxation, the administration could bring sufficient pressure to bear to have the promise made to the people in 1924, kept. That an anti-lynching plank, like so many others, helped to keep the Negro vote in line long enough to enable the Republicans to ride into office, to that extent that plank has served its purpose. "I hope Congress will not adjourn until a genuine effort is made to enact a federal anti-lynching law. While thousands of people are being paid to spy on those of their fellow citizens who may be taking an occasional drink in violation of the eighteenth amendment, and while the Federal Government is spending millions of dollars each year to deal with the petty lawlessnesses involved in this sort of violation, not an effort is made to punish acts which bring injury and death to people, many of whom are innocent, and all of whom are entitled to protection under our Constitution. "It is not only the duty but it is clearly within the power of Congress to enact legislation which will make enforceable the rights guaranteed to the people under the Constitution. In the fifth section of the fourteenth amendment, Congress is given the right to enforce constitutional guaranties, and that constitutional provision is broad enough to authorize the enforcement of the law I propose." "My bill goes a step further than the anti-lynching bills that have been considered in the past. There are teeth in the bill. A man who joins a mob and proceeds to kill another is a murderer, and ought to be punished is such a way that he will learn to respect the rights of others, and his friends and neighbors may be deterred from ever committing a similar offense."

Columbia mistress of Land and of Sea,— Richest, most powerful of governments peopling the earth, Mother of Freedom, and cradler of sweet Liberty, Who unto Washington and the great Lincoln gave birth." "Hearken! Columbia on your white robe creeps a stain, Red! red! blood red! growing larger and larger each day! Do you not see it, or seeing, will let it remain? Or will you cleanse it before all the nations, we pray?" "There in the Forum your statesmen laboriously write, Laws for your subjects to honor and reverence e'er.

Thousands 'gainst one; far too brutish too beast to spare!" "But comes a time when the wolf-pack in unsated greed, Blood-thirsty, ravenous, hilariously turns on its own; Fulls down the weaker ones—rends them;—breed feeding on breed; Devouring each other with hearts and feelings of stone.

"So Bolshevism and "Mob Law" burn low at the base, Of the State fabric, anon bursting sudden to flame, Hearken! Columbia, let not guilt blemish your face! Let not this awful blot blacken your glorious name!" PLAIN FACTS NOTE: Continue to address all communications and queries concerning this Dept. to Dr. Ruth Temple, 3556 S. Western, Phones, Empire 1951, University 1255, VAndike 1221. We shall be glad to discuss any or all medical subjects asked for by our readers—as our time permits. THE SCIENCE OF OBSTETRICS OR MATERNITY Just at present I, with the supervisor and assistant supervisor of the Department, am very busy getting the next six months' work outlined for the interne in the Maternity Division of the Los Angeles Health Dept. This morning we spent the entire morning at the Health Office in selecting the important subjects with which we considered it necessary for the young doctors on the service to be familiar. As I, with the rest of the staff of the city Maternity Dept. am working hard to get facts concerning the wonderful science of maternity or obstetrics before these young men and when I see how greatly they need instruction even after having spent many years in the best medical colleges of the world, then I think of my own people and I realize that equality with the doctor, the mother herself, is important. I know and a perfect right to be given all of the expected concernings herself in expected child and the needs care of each that it is possible and practical to convey to her. Not only have mothers and prospective mother a right to understand all that is possible of the vast science of motherhood, but fathers and young men make better fathers and better husbands if they too have an intelligent knowledge of what actually takes place in the mother's body as she sacrifices herself to bring a little new life into this world. For these reasons I am going to attempt to bring before our readers every phase of this subject that it is practical to discuss with non-medical men and women. This is my specialty. I love the subject of obstetrics and I love the work. I was on the city Maternity Service as interne for one and one-half years and we delivered as many as 120 babies in one month. Now I serve on the city service as a member of the Staff and am called in consultation on hard cases or complicated labor cases. During these three years thousands of babies have been ushered into the world by us in this division of the Health Dept. and I have delivered or assisted in delivering hundreds and hundreds of them, but during my entire time of practice in private and city work, the processes of motherhood from its beginning to its spectacular termination is always wonderful to me. It always inspires me with a sense of awe and a feeling of increased respect for the Creator. I trust that before this series of articles is ended every reader will have a more profound respect for the Maker of all and a great appreciation of the wonderful processes necessary to motherhood. Believing that the method of speaking plainly is the only way to present any subject clearly and also believing that the often unspoken of truths concerning our bodies are sacred and worthy to be discussed fully by intelligent men and women, we shall adhere in this series as before to our plan of giving "Plain Facta," and shall present without apology the varied aspects of this large subject. Because we shall have to use many technical words and shall define these words clearly when we first use them, but cannot repeat the definitions each week and because our space will not HARRY LEVETTE. permit us to repeat or review previous subjects; for those who wish to take up the study of these subjects seriously I think you will find it necessary to keep every issue of the paper in order to refer to definitions, explanations, etc., and thus to follow intelligently the terms of the series. A FEW PERSPECTIVES DEFINED The subject of Obstetrics or Maternity corresponds the entire role of Reproduction, which may be defined as a closed cycle of events in the life of a woman which comprises five periods: Conception, Pregnancy, Labor, Location and Involution. Next week we will study Conception or the union of the spermatazoid, the male element of propagation with the corresponding female element, the ornum. And we will discuss fully some of the phases of prenatal influences showing how fathers and mothers can influence their children years and years before these children are born into the world. If the meannig of any terms used are not made clear, tell us. For this is your column and while we must use certain number of technical terms for exactness and also for educational benefit we do wish to define all words so clearly that even a child can read and understand. IN MEMORIUM GEORGE LAWRENCE KING, JR. Born at New Orleans, Feb. 12, 1904 Passed on, Los Angeles, Cal., May 17, 1926 Blessed in the sight of God, A noble youth passed on, The like of whom we rarely meet And btter—there is none. Born on great Abram Lincoln's day Of Douglas manly type, He eased his worthy parents' task By work—when years were ripe. The oldest boy of twelve in all, George bravely helped with might, He made his mark through school and won Respect of Blacks and Whites. Then came the High School and more, work No holidays were his Till graduated from Jefferson With honor and in bliss. The next tougt was to make is mark, And—Civil Service passed— He proudly served our "Ungle Sam" As postal clerk to te last. Three years he served and helped his own, The "Home," he loved so well, His father's genuine right hand man, It's God's own truth—I tell. Then came the blow to all who loved And watched this precious lad; His Maker judged his life work done, Our hearts are crushed and sad. George passed on gently, as he lived At peace with God and all, His dying lips blessed al his friends No color line was drawn. Our common Father loved this boy, Who honored Him in life, His soul has gone to his reward Away from earthly strife. Now, fare thee well, George King, dear_soul, Pray at the throne of Grace, For those who loved you to the end, Your kins, your friends of either race. JULIUS C. BEHNKE. L. A. C., 5-19-26.

THOMPSON The new balloon trousers surely have satisfied man's craving *for* wide open spaces. Last Sunday afternoon was a real big day for the young folks. The Junior N. A. A. C. P. held its regular monthly meeting at Independent Church, and Miss-Viola Baucom, 3rd prize winner of the L. A. Times International Oratorical Contest, State Finals, and Mr. Willie Middleton also 3rd prize winner in the semi-finals of the Contest sponsored by the same were the speakers of the afternoon. A fine program was rendered by the members of the Sweet Sixteen Club of which Miss Henrietta Walker S2'6 Senorita of Jefferson High is the president. A record breaking crowd of young folks were present. Uncle Joe says, "Now a-days boys drive fast, but never so fast that they pass a good parking place." Ditto old dear. The Annual Tea, honoring the Winter and Summer high school and college graduates of 1926, given last Sunday afternoon at the home of Miss Vassie Williamson, 1026 E. 18th St., was heavily attended and a jovial Joe was hau at his home. Miss Joe said by Nickerson, a charming Dodec, says, "Many a 'Red Hot' Swater has come from a Fire Sale. We wish to extend our hardiest congratulations to Miss Viola Baucom, a junior student at Roosevelt High, who is the only member of our race that competed in the State Finals of the International Oratorical Contest that was recently sponsored by the L. A. Times. One hundred dollars cold cash was the third prize, Miss Baucom stated, when interviewed by Ye Sparks Editor, that she is not through with it yet, as she hopes to get that $500 plus a trip to Europe, the first prize, next year. She also stated that she not only competed for the money that was in it, but she would upon the minds of the opposite races the opportunity and can go over the top, so to speak, if he is given just half a chance. Again, we want to congratulate her, and at the same time we are wishing her the best of luck nert year. We also want to congratulate Mr. Willie Middleton, distinguished president of the famous Grasshoppers Club, who represented the student body of Jefferson High in the Semifinals of the International Oratorical Contest. Mr. Middleton won third place, however, he is due much credit for the time and strenuous efforts he spent and made in preparing his oration which, like Miss Baucom's oration, dealt with "Lincoln and the Constitution." In June, 1926 he will be among those who will receive their honorable discharges from the high ranks of the Torreadors. (Bull Fighters). "That another story," said the man as he fell from the roof. By cracky hay! hay! a gang o' pitchforks, overalls, good music, and a golden good time, were the expressions of the evening, used by the many so-called farmerettes, and farmers that attended the barn dance that was given under the auspices of the Girls Reserves at the Eagle Hall last Friday evening. The admission was 35c. Mr. Leon Rene, one of the composers of that new, popular song entitled "My California Maid," had charge of the Knabe, while Messrs. Faine and Smith blew all the reeds of their saxophone and the theatrical music, and last but not least Archie who wowwowed a wicked trumpet, made things so hot that the owner of the Hall had to come in and remove the thermometer. At 12 P. M. all the farmerettes and farmers climbed into their horseless buggies and drove away, declaring they couldn't have spent a better evening. "Gidipa, Lizzie" it looks like rain.

Hospital Honored DUNBAR HOSPITAL RECEIVES SINGULAR DISTINCTION After the careful investigation of a number of moderately priced hospitals in the city the Dunbar was named by Dr. Joseph Farrell, Dr. Ruth Tempel, Dr. Lily G. McNeile the staff of the city maternity service as the one hospital in Angola which is within the reach of the pocket book of the poor and yet which maintains such a very high standard of efficiency that the most difficult operative work can be safely performed there. Dr. Farrell was present as supervisor and assistant when Dr. Temple preformed the first Caesarian section TWENTY—done in the Dunbar Hospital under the supervision of the Maternity Staff. The baby is over a year old no wand is one of the finest in Los Angeles. The high standards of the hospital and the excellent assistance of the nurses and with the supervision of Dr. Farrel made it possible for Dr. Temple to perform this most dangerous and wonderful operation with the utmost skill and exactness. Since the time of that first very notorious and life-saving operation Dr. McNeile, Dr. Temple, Dr. Farrell have all assisted on or performed other and very serious operations on maternity cases in the Dunbar Hospital and in every single one of these unusually hard cases splendid success has attended the operation and mother and habe have been saved. This has been for efficiency which our own Dunbar Hospital has established during the short time of its existence has led the staff of the Maternity Division of the Health Dept. to select this hospital as the hospital to which it will recommend its difficult or abnormal cases which can afford to pay a small amount for high grade hospital care. DUNBAR NOTES As a Comfort Station for the Sick and Convalescent the Dunbari Hospital is rapidly forging to the front. The demand for this, wonderfully equipped hospital is certainly being felt judging from the capacity patronage it is receiving. With the many doctors in Los Angeles who have access to this institution there is no reason why there shouldn't at all times be a waitlist list, which would of necessity, out of a growing demand for entrance, force the official to be enlisted. We can be quite a credit to our race. Many operations are performed each week, and the doctors attending these cases report patients are getting along fine. This is our hospital and should not go begging for support. An even greater interest and co-operation from the FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1926 public world greatly assist in making this one of the best hospitals in the West under Negro management. There is always a chance for someone to do a bit of charity work, stal a bed or help equip someone for someone to work better than yourself. Below we make mention of a few cases that came to us during the past week: Three operations by Dr. J. T. Whittaker, the patients were, Mrs. L. Spivy, Mrs. Carolyn Blodgett and Mrs. Catherine Tutson; two by Dr. L. Stowall, Mr. David Scott and Mrs. Geo Brown; two maternity cases, Mrs. Ella Frierson and Mrs. Ruth Smith, each of whom is mother of a fine boy, attended by Dr. C. Diggs; and an operation of the age by Dr. Sellon. Naturally, the conceptus of opinion is that our doctors are perfectly able to master the surgical situation in a race institution.

SHI CHM. OF BUILDING EUREKA LET'S HAVE UNIFORM TRAFFIC SIGNALS The urgent need for uniform traffic signals in all the cities and states is becoming more and more apparent. Their lack is working a serious hardship on the millions of motorists in the country. Indeed, it is not too much to say that this lack is making a nervous wreck of many a motorist who desires to obey signals and traffic rules wherever he may be. The divergence of signals, however, is enough to drive him into the nearest psychopathic ward. Of course, there are many difficulties to be overcome, but they are not due to failure make a uniform system an impossibility. Local conditions, such as street widths, street car tracks and safety zones, govern traffic cycles as much as anything else. Lack of definite and well-understood uniformity in every city brands the motorist a fool in one and a hero in another. By the time he has toured the country he is either a nervous wreck or a perfect cynic; and in either case he is scarcely the one to blame. Local rules permit him in one place to turn left with the red light and in another place to turn right. Then, having mastered these incitations, he comes to a city which prohibits him from crossing the way at the flash of the red, and he promptly find himself in a verbal combat with an officer of the law. In all of this the motorist is a victim of nonuniformity and should not be blamed for what might readily be termed his innocent ignorance. Exhaust J. D.

ESCAPES ELECTRIC CHAIR (By: the Associated Negro Press) Columbia, S., C., April 29—Guy Ellens, the 17-year-old boy who was found asleep at the foot of the bed of a white school teacher, and later convicted of attempted rape and sentenced to die in the electric chair, will escape death by virtue of a commutation of sentence ordered by Gov Thomas McLeod. He has been removed to the penitentiary where he will spend a life sentence. The young woman in the case explained that she heard and smelled Edens when he entered the room and began feeling her feet. She was frightened and did not yell out. Later, she heard him snoring and got up to see what it was all about. He was lying down, his shoes off, in a sound sleep. She called men in the house that he had arrested an account of taking his boy to the boy said to have been illiterate was sentenced to die. Gov. McLeod thought that was a little too hard and held that whatever the boy might have intended he had made no effort to carry out his purpose that could be established as fact. Opposition contended that if Edens weren't legally murdered other Negroes would be in legally murdered through lynchings, SACRAMENTO By: MRS. J. W. SCOTT There was not a dull moment at the "Country Store and Variety Entertainment" last Wednesday night at St. Andrew's Church, given by the (Mock) "Sieramento Valley Conference." Every booth was well patronized, but the greatest attraction centered around the Country Store which was laicened with numerous attractive and useful articles. The first capital prize, a live Rhode Island Red hen was won by Mr. Robert O'Reilly; and the second capital prize, a 25-lb sack of lion, was won by Mrs. F. A. Butler. Miss Cleo Sparkes won the $5.00 in gold for causing the largest number of persons to be present, and second and third prizes were won by Miss Dorothy Van Slack and Miss Irene Williams, respectively.

BILL REDUCED 60% In a few moments the telephone company said they would correct the bill, that there had been a clerical error made. With what result? Just read on. The real estate man paid the telephone company just $5.40 instead of more than $12.00 that they demanded. This amounts to a discount of about 60%. Another subscriber in the Law Building told me that he kept strict count of each call on his telephone. He marked down each call and where it went to and who it was that used the telephone. When he got his bill he found an overcharge for 45 extra calls. One of the large motion picture studios claimed that it was overcharged more than 10,000 extra calls a month.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS DOLLARS SAVED The writer is the one and the only one in the last telephone rate hearing that filed a brief with the Railroad Commission. In that brief I urged a delay in the metered service order. The delay was granted from January 1st to March 21st, 1926. This made a saving to the rate payers of hundreds of thousands of dollars. No one else can rightfully lay claim to having obtained this delay. The records of the State of California will prove this to be true. A reduction of one-half cent per call was also granted, this also saves over $300,000 annually. YOU MUST HELP FIGHT After this money has been saved for you, you must realize that more can be accomplished if you will take part of the money saved and aid us in this fight. The writer accomplished the foregoing without any organized aid. It is apparent to those who run that with organized endeavor we can do much more. Mail us a check for $10 or $15, the amount is small out what the many rate payers commend it will make a good fund. More than 100 civic clubs have agreed to help fight.

Railroads Two To Death; One To Penitentiary (By: the Associated Agro Press) Louisville, Ky., May 3.—After a week devoted to fake trials under the protection of 500 members of the Kentucky National Guard, Bunyan Fleming and Nathan Bard, stand convicted of rape of 16-year-old Catherine Briehaupt, white, for which the sentence is hanging, and Columbus Hollis, 50-year-old alleged accomplice, convicted and sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary. The jury convicted Flemings of Flemings ten minutes, of Bard for eight minutes and of Hollis for four minutes. This was the third notorious trial Kentucky has offered for the study of America in the last three months. In two of the trials the suspects have been Negroes, in one, white. The first concerned the charges against on Ed. Harris, accused of attacking and killing the members of a white family. Harris was rushed to trial under the protection of troops, armed with machine guns and tanks and found guilty in 15 minutes. He has since been hanged. At the time of this so-called "legal lynching," Kentucky, walt. Kentucky, claimed that it was the law. Harris was said to have confessed to his crime. When Harris was hanged the white ruffians and farmers who had sought his life bought seats to witness the gruesome spectacle. It was only a short time later when Charles Merchant, a white man, was caught rehandled in an attack on an eleven-year-old colored girl. Colored Kentucky then woke up, prepared itself to see the law applied. Merchant went to trial. The white and colored press of the country looked to Kentucky to see the law work for all alike. If Kentucky's law were just, Merchant was to hang. But did he? Did you? On the motion of the prosecution, the white rapist was found insane, sentenced to an asylum for life. His guilt went uncontested. Then comes Madisonville and the sorry tale of a 16-year-old white girl being attacked by three Negroes. The wailing over the miscarriage of justice at Lexington is not over before many Negroes are picked up on suspicion. Fleming, Bard, and Hollis are singled out as the guilty ones. Now white and black Kentucky and white and black America stand back to see what is going to happen. From the incarceration and incidement of these three men, William Warley, editor of the Louisville News and president of the Louisville branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, plays the principal part. The Association decides to use its influence to see that the men get a fair trial, in Kentucky! Walter Robinson, a brilliant young Negro lawyer from Hopkinsville, was retained by the Association to defend the men, Warley and Robinson went to Madisonville, prepared to investigate and to defend. What did they find? Evidence of something wrong all around. The Negroes in the town were afraid of them. They went to the colored hotel or rooming house. The proprietor, becoming afraid, asked them to move. They went to the home of one of the Negro leaders of the town, whom they knew. What happened there? He was very sorry, he could not give them lodging, but did the best he could by taking them out of the town to a friend's home who did not know their mission in town and therefore was not afraid. When Warley and Robinson sought interviews with the prisoners, and obtained them, the white roughnecks wanted to know who "these stranger niggers are." All around is an air of excitement. Roscoe Conklin, the white lawyer, is not sure of himself. He has been asked to move from his hotel. He advises Robinson and Warley to leave the town; the situation is dire. He advises Barnes, in charge of soldiers. He advises them to leave, and escorts them out the back of the hotel, the front of which they entered. Warley declares that Barnes was afraid as he walked to the station with him and Robinson, and urged that they buy tickets for the train, but take a bus And what about the stories of the prisoners. Hollis is said to have confessed. The two other men charge he was paid to tell a story against chem. How reasonable is the story. Warley claims that deputy sheriff was caught giving money to Hollis. The deputy admitted doing so, but clammed that it was too coercive with the Army. And Warley rightly explains: "A deputy sheriff giving a Negro accused such a crime money to buy tobacco with". Warley again points out in bold type: "The young woman-never did identify the men." But as Warley and Robinson fight they get under the skin of Kentucky's mock enforcers of the law and Warley and a brother newspaperman, I. Willis Cole, find themselves the targets of an attempted indictment. Warley find it necessary to go to West Baden for his "health." The indictment was a scare. It will mean nothing. It did mean that Negro newspapers can do good strong work in Kentucky. It did mean that effective long-range work can be done by Negro newspapers that will help to keep force a clarification of the maze in Kentucky. Attorneys for Fleming and Bard have filed notices of appeal from the sentence of the court. Hollis' sentence of twenty years is expected to result in a pardon soon. Thus goes on Kentucky's dramatist "Rape of the Law, a masterpiece limning against the ground of man's inhumanity to men."

MRS. MINCIF BLACKSHER, Pres HUinbolt 1547-J. REVIEW OF KATHRYN WILSON'S LATE PUBLI CATION "THE SUCCESSFUL HAIRDRESSER" To the woman who feels that she has reached the point or place where she realizes that this life is a surrendered life, and that the most acceptable service which she can render to God is her good deeds to humanity! To the woman who has fought duel with fear, worry and suspicion, and knows that she must carve her own destiny; that she must weave the cloth that clothes her own future; that she is a success or failure in proportion to her faith in God and her faith in her own abilities, are these pages fully given. For today the world is clamoring in this profession as in every other vocation in life, for women and men of principle, efficiency and self-confidence. To look your best does not refer to Marcel wave, facial massage, or manicure, but to every point of a woman's anatomy, that it may be possible for the operator to improve. If you have taken time to think seriously, you know that in order to be beautiful, there must be Beauty of Mind and Soul (your true character), Beauty of Physique, which of necessity follows, purity and perfection of the blood supply. And so goes this book on beauty culture written by Kathryn Wilson, founder of the famous California School of Beauty Culture at Omaha, Nebraska. "The Successful Hairdresser" should grace the library of every beauty curist, student and those planning to take up the work. This book contains 250 pages and is a complete treatise on the trade, covering all its branches.
