J., May 21.—While flames crackled ominously in the underbrush and roared fiercely as they were fanned by a whipping breeze, Mrs. John Russell of this village locked herself in her room in a lonely little cottage in a clearing and "put her trust in God." It was first reported that she had lost her life when the hamlet was wiped out by Sunday's forest fire. Had not neighbors seen her plunge through the dense smoke and disappear? Had she not said that "if her home was destroy she wished to die?" But as this little woman prayed, a miracle was wrought. She came out unscatched and her cottage was not harmed by the blaze which blackened twelve square acres of woodland all around here. The whole countryside is marveling at the faith which removes mountains and causes fires to halt in their devasting course. The fire finally burned itself out on the banks of Great Egg Harbor River after volunteers and fireman had battled with it for hours. When Mrs. Russell dashed for her home, a man tried to restrain her. His clothing scorched by the flames and his hands burned, he was obliged to turn back. It was then that the report was circulated that an unidentified woman had perished. A. C. BILBREW LADIES THA ```markdown ``` (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., May 20—William H. King, Democratic Senator from Utah, delivered an address in the Senate recently in favor of his resolution providing for the withdrawal of United States troops from Hayti, and granting permission to the people of Hayti to set up a government of their own choice. Senator King very strongly and forcibly denounced the policy of the United States toward the affairs of Hayti. With reference to the recent selection of President Borno, Senator King old his hearers that the Department of State "has imposed on the Haitian people by force and arms a government that they do not want, which government is supported by the bayonets of the United States." Senator King is of the opinion that military and naval officers, assigned to government positions in Hayti, carried into their administration "the spirit of the martinet and exercised greater ruthlessness than they do up on their subordinates in time of war." enator King's resolution wins, at his bie of Foreign Relations, for study. Florida Uses Troops Against Lynchers (By th Associated Negro Press) BY THE ASSOCIATE MANAGER La Belle, May 20—The 116th Court of Florida National Guard is on duty here to protect the witnesses who testify in the investigation of the lynching of Henry Patterson, which occurred here last week when a band of six masked men took the man from a sheriff's posse and lynched him. Patterson's body was riddled with bullets, then dragged through the streets before it was hung to a tree. Governor John W. Martin immediately ordered an investigation by Sheriff McCollough, who later made a request for troops when citizens feared a racial clash. Testimony of witnesses conflict as to the cause of the crime. Patterson was at first alleged to have attacked a white woman in her home. Some witnesses declared that the woman told them she became frightened and left the house when Patterson appeared at the back door and asked for a drink of water. Head of the chamber of commerce of the State wired the governor and stated that it seemed the "officers were derelict in their duty" in allowing the men to take Patterson from them, without offering resistance. Jacksonville, Fla., May 20—Governor Martin, who is in this city to attend the dedication of the Shriners Temple, (white) declared that the troops would remain in LaBelle as long as necessary and that the situation in LaBelle was quiet.

A` PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES, FRIDAY MAY 28, 1926 (By the Associated Negro Press) Jacksonville, Fla., May 20—Florida has broken all southern traditions in sentencing a white man to the electric chair for the killing of a Negro. A jury in circuit court found Britt R. Pringle, white, guilty of murder in the 1st degree without a recommendation for mercy. The jury deliberated but thirty-five minutes after a trial which lasted but half a day. The crime for which Pringle has been convicted, is considered one of the most brutal in the history of Duval County, John Simmons, a wood dealer living on the outskirts of town, disappeared mysteriously and his neighbors reported the affair to county authorities. Suspicion was aroused when Pringle, who had had dealings with Simmons, before, was seen selling wood in the Negro's woodyard. The jury brought its verdict signed by the twelve members, after State's Attorney Charles M. Jurange and Assistant State's Attorney Ion L. Farris had asked for the death penalty for him. Harry Reinstein, attorney for Pringle, whom the State appointed, asked for a poll of the jury. Every juror when his name was called answered, "Yes," without hesitation. Pringle was remanded to the county jail to wait until Saturday morning when sentence will be pronounced provided the appeal which his attorney is making is denied. The consensus of opinion among both whit and coloured inmates was that the death penalty for his crime After murdering Simmons, he took the dead man's horse and wagon and a large sum of money from him. ILLINOIS TOWN FIGHTS THEATER SEAT ISSUE (By the Associated Negro Press) Springfield, Ill., May 20—The Supreme Court of the state is to review a suit which involves the right of movie owners to deny seats to Negroes on the ground that the house is sold out of the suit was begun in Canaan, Illinois.

GOMEZ MOUND STAR Chicago, Ill., May 22—(By the Associated Negro) The first four weeks of play in the National League brought out a few facts about the various clubs of the League, which serves as a pointer for fans who delight in guessing at probable pennant winners. All eight clubs of the Western Circuit and fairly well fortified with real hurriers and each cub can boast of at least one or two star performers on the hill, the Kansas City Monarchs and American Giants having a slight edge if past to the direction the wind is blowing. St Louis, Detroit, Indianapolis, and the wind is blowing. St. Louis, Detroit, Indianapolis, and the Cuban Stars are not so far behind in above clubs in the matter of hurriers, and it is just possible that the Cubans will show the entire circuit some fancy pitching before the season draws to a close. The fact of the matter is that the Islanders already loom to have the makings of one of the best pitching staffs in the league. Their performance at Kansas City recently indicates this. Gomez, long, youthful, good natured Cuban gunner, thus far has shown brilliantly in the bames he has worked in and when not on the firing line he is used in the outfield on account of his uncanny ability to swat the ball at opportune moments. Gomez from all indications will have a yearly buer in the National League and will likely finish with a high percentage of games won. He should be able to land around the top with the first five hurriers of the league. The first month of play showed plainly that good pitching can effectively check good hitting and cause low score games to be played. All around the circuit the club owners and managers are counting on their firing squad to silence the heavy swatting of the opponents. And on the Strong Support For Chief Justice Waite Strong Support For Chief Justice Waite Walter Butler, prominent citizen, active along all lines of endeavor, State President of the N. A. A. C.

He depreciates the aspersions and innuendo which are being put forth derogatory to the candidacy of Justice Waite and says that Alameda Colored voters will be behind his candidacy 400 percent. He calls the Judge Waite has at all times given to the Colored people the best of his efforts as a citizen. No call for his service ever went unanswered and they are not unmindful of this situation whenever his name comes before them for consideration for high positions of honor.

C., May 26—The McKinley Anti-Lynching Bill which had been referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary has been practically killed. Honorable William B. McKinley, Republican Senator from Illinois, was the father of the measure, and had been interested in its passage.

One of the egon, will be interested in learning that under her leadership as Executive Secretary, Portland has secured a new Y.W.C.A. building. The gift of Mrs. E.S. Collins, chairman of Colored work. The structure is of early Georgian and colonial type, with b stained shingle exterior. One of the Margie Danley unusual features is a club room for boys, with separate entrance. The cornerstone was laid early in March, the services being in charge of Masons from two jurisdictions, Cali and Washington, Oregon, with two coiled lodges of Portland, the Enterprise and Execsior. The new building will be ready for occupancy in May. Miss Danley has not only won success as Y.W.C.A. executive, she is constantly in demand to represent our group at various meetings and conferences. She recently spoke from the same platform with Japanese and British Coussals and others on "Good Will Day." This is in deed to our minds one of the outstanding accomplishments in any period of activity along religious and civic lines and indeed is pleasing to the utmost for this section to send forth such a brilliant representative and a career which our young could well afford to look forward to, so as to render real service to those with whom we come in contact. The Eagle desires to congratulate Miss Danley upon her success and we hope for her a continued progress along the line of her chosen endeavor. White Servitude In Pennsylvania White Servitude In Pennsylvania (By The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., May 19.—In a book just off the press, Dr. Cheesman A. Herick, President of Girard College (that college that positively and boastingly refuses to admit Negroes) gives much information about a peculiar form of slavery that once existed in Pennsylvania. One reads throughout its pages that in the early days Pennsylvania depended for its industrial progress upon the slavery of white men and women. It is believed that at no time in the history of Pennsylvania were there more than 5000 Negro slaves. Dr. Herick points out that the number of white men those held in servitude by lawmen was thousands. Even when Pennsylvania was striving to abolish slavery, "White Servitude in Pennsylvania" points out that this State outranked all others in promoting that vicious system of slavery among whites. White slaves are said to have been working in Pennsylvania before William Penn came; and it is pointed out that the favorite sport of the Swedes was to sell Finns in slavery to the colony on the Delaware. Continuing, one finds that a ship passage to America sometimes cost the equivalent of $140 in American money, and the person who paid for that passage in toil, in more than one case died before he had worked out his freedom. The ordinary term of what Dr. Herrick terms "white slavery" was four years. Very often it appears to have been much longer. Dr. Herrick says that of the 530 new arrivals in Philadelphia's first four years, 193 were classed as servants. Plays Nero's Role Egg Harbor, N. J., May 21—A colored Nero has been discovered here and fined $10 for the impersonation. The fine was levied when Shad Steveson, played a ukelele while a forest fire raged about his house. The man refused to help the hundreds of volunteer fire-fighters. $2.00 THE YEAR No. 51 COMMENTS By: W. J. WHEATON Do you remember that part of the message to Congress sent by the late President, Woodrow Wilson, April 2, 1917, which reads that "the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts—our democracy, for the rights and liberties of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments." Splendid words, those, but utterly meaningless. When that message was read it was known that in the country over which he presided there were from twelve to fifteen millions of loyal subjects "submitting to authority" of which, at the least, eight millions were deprived of the "rights and liberties of having a voice in their own government." A case is pending in the Supreme Court of the United States, where a colored man is using for the right to cast a ballot in a democrat primary. This in Texas; practical disfranchisement of citizens in the states of the South is the rule rather than the exception. That is when the citizen happens to be colored. Words equally as meaningless have been spoken during the debates of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Adept politicians have kept it dangling before the eyes of the race voter and making it a campaign issue. The sincerity of its advocates is questioned, and many seek the support of the Race voter on that issue will find that his motives are questioned. The Old South Dies But She Never Surrenders. The shadow of the legion which followed Lee through the mistitudes of the Civil War held a mission in formingham, Ala. The press reports that the prison was great as the veterans lived again in the memories of the past. Strange, but here are men who grow enthusiastic over the memories of the days when they fought to overthrow the government, and openly boast of their exploits, and throughout the prisons of the country today there languish men who spoke in opposition to the government entering as an allie in a foreign war. Strange paradox. Lee Herbert, a resident of Bakersfield entered a burning house and saved the lives of two Japanese children. One Japanese association presented him with a gold medal and a substantial purse; the Buddhist church gave him another gold medal and a gold locket containing the pictures of the two children he saved, and now comes the Japanese Emperor who decorates him with the Order of the Scarlet Ribbon. Courageous people admire courage and reward it. This government debated whether or not it should erect a memorial to the courage of the Negro soldiers who went through the hell of fire in France to "make it safe for democracy. Happily, in the eyes of the world, it saved its face. A phone message informs me of the sudden death of Quinton B. James in Oakland where he was conducting a Masonic funeral. He was Master of Victoria Lodge of Masons and a member of all its branches to the 32d degree. He was prominent in the work of the Elks, being a past E. R. and at the time of his passing was secretary of Shasta Lodge No. 254 of San Francisco. This is Sunday, May 23rd. KIDNAPPED GROOM RETURNS (By the Associated Negro Press) Camden, N.

J. Lynchers Arrested LaBelle, Fla., May 24—Seven white men are under arrest charged with first degree murder growing out of the lynching of Henry Patterson last week.

We find north as well as south a thirst for information upon things political. However there is a hang back on all sides who are fearful of going stale should they make too early a start for the downa. At Oakland we found a very expectant condition, with such worthwhile citizens as Walter Butler, D. C. Coleman, Eroll Marshall, Dr. Bush, G. B. Gray and others to the forefront eager and anxious to procure the very best timber for the various officers. These men and those associated with them are determined that nothing short of an intelligent leadership will be tolerated and when the campaign gets under way for the right men, this combination will take pride in doing their utmost of rheir nomination and election. In San Francisco we found the old war horse, John Taylor, safely entrenched as stringing with the Young forces for Governor and saying nothing at all about Senator. John is all keyed up for the starting of the campaign. In other words he is "raring to go." Wm. McLamore is busy indeed getting his forces lined up for a strenuous campaign and Mack can be depended upon when service is required.

They really hope to avoid it if possible, so that our group might not receive the BIGGEST SLAP IN THE FACE yet recorded in the history of California. Remember, Folks! It is your most sacred duty to hold together as you have never held before FOR THIS IS A MOST VITAL ISSUE!! We have won in Detroit and now we must win here. We demand one of two things----Gordon Manor or its equivalent in money, either of which will satisfy us!!! I shall fight until the last dollar has gone---then I'll fight on my credit!!! I need not ask whether or not you are with me---you have proven that 100 per cent. Whatever you do---keep up your payments! Prvision has been made with Mr. Jones of the Liberty Loan Co., to take care of your payments at this time instead of the Commercial National Bank. I thank you, William C. Gordon MD.

RUTH TEMPLE It is almost impossible to clearly present the important subjects of Reproduction, unless our readers have some definite ideas of the anatomy of the structures dealt with. Therefore this week I am giving to you a list of books which may be found at the Public Library or in any doctor's office which I urge each of our readers to secure and study the rein carefully the anatomy of the Pelvic organs of both male and female, that you may follow with intelligence the articles which we shall begin as our next series: "Grey's Anatomy" is clear on all parts of the human body; "Crossen's Gynecology" deals especially with female anatomy. Any book on "Genito-Urinary" conditions gives a clear idea of male anatomy. I continue to receive letters, phone calls and inquiries, commendations, etc., concerning our column, "Plain Facts." Last night my class at the White Memorial Hospital asked me to secure a copy of all of the articles for them. These things show the vital necessity of such a column and for placing such facts before our men and women and older boys and girls. Study the subjects mentioned in the books named and next week we will begin the new series. NOTE: Continue to address all communications concerning this Department to Dr. Ruth J. Temple, 3559 So. Western Ave.; Phnc. EM, 9981 U.N. 1255, VA; 3221. And remember these articles though especially about mothers and prospective mothers are for men and women alike to read and profit thereby.

Ignorance uf fact may be an ex- cuse where the offender seted_unler & bona file belle? is a state of fact different from what actually existe! as where one kills a servant ip his room under belied that he is a bur- glar. = Tenorattce of law is never an ex- cure, except where a specific intent is essential. and ignorance of the law negatives such intent, as where a per- son takes property “belonging te another which he believes, through ig- norance of law, to be his own.

Our purpose in this editorial is to deal with facts in a general way. To us, our quotation asks this very vital question—Are we fiddling, or using the more modern term, jazzing while our opportunities grow dim and fade out, as did the lamps of the five foolish virgins, because of lack of attention. For the past half century civilization has been moving Westward—climatic and other favorable conditions have induced Black Americans to come in great hordes. The early comers assumed the easy, restful attitude of all peoples recently liberated from laborous bondage—hence little was amassed by them. The late comers have, if that be possible, been less aggressive than their pioneer forefathers. We are thinking in this key because we realize, that not only in America, but in the whole world that an individual or a nation's intellectual standing is measured by their ability to get and hold wealth. Hence, the time is just now, when Black America should cease from its fiddling, and figure out its economic status. Yes, we have numbers in California, but number without action counts for little. No nation or people with an economic background of Vice can hope to succeed along any line. We run down the columns of daily newspapers and see where a white man in the State of Kentuckv is pronounced insane for raping a colored girl while a BLACK BOY in the same State is sentenced to DIE when he is SUSPECTED OF RAPE. You ask what has this to do with the amassing of wealth? A few years ago when a Jew, by the name of Leo Frank was lynched in the state of Georgia, the Jewish Capital in New York and other states of the union demanded an investigation, and so much agitation was carried on, and so many apologies were necessary that we feel safe in saving that it will be a long time before another Jew is lynched in this country. While we are thinking of conditions in a general way we are specifically interested in Los Angeles because we realize that it is the most desired spot of the newcomers. The Place Truly the greatest opportunities offered by the State are in Los Angeles, for this, the most rapidly growing state in the Union, is the logical spot for the marketing of his wares, if he has anything for sale. greatest opportunities offered for this, the most rapidly given the logical spot for the marketing for sale.ation of Los Angeles is reported by twenty thousand.

The population of Los Angeles is reported as being approximately sixty thousand. Of this sixty thousand we have less than six hundred individual companies or corporations doing legitimate business.

Vice Unfortunately there is a class of new as well as some of the old comers, who seem to feel that the industry of vice is the most profitable. It is said that the returns that Negro politicians received for supporting the present administration was a greater number of gambling houses, bootleg joints, buffet flats and many other places of debauchery where men and women are not only permitted, but are induced to sacrifice health and virtue—and all this practically under the dome and shadow of our new Newton Street Station, and yet they are always making a crusade against vice and lawlessness—Isn't it strange, a man always seeks to clean up everywhere else but around his own home, which happens, at this time, to be really getting vile. And will we let the one (or few) apple spoil the barrel? Washington has sent out an edict that all police officers be declared Prohibition Officers.

The sorry spectacle of our supposedly brave and courageous sponsors of the manly art of the white race in evading and side-stepping a man, whom they have an abiding faith, can whip their best offering to a standstill and thereby come into the championship of the world, is pitiful indeed. There is up to this minute, no subterfuge to which they can resort that has been overlooked in order to keep Dempsey, the non-fighting champion, from facing Harry Wills. It is not money, for Dempsey can get more fighting Wills than any other man he can get in the ring with him, but its the fear of losing the title to the ebony-hued son of Ham. The refusal of Tex Rickard or Dempsey to meet Wills, who by far is recognized as his most formidable opponent, should by right confer the title upon Wills and he should go forth and defend it. The white psuedo sports should get up a little pep and courage that would not desert them. Why, Jack Johnson, who laid down for Willard, because he (Jack) was hungry and needed money (and that was the only condition on which he could secure it) is just about the bravest individual who ever donned the gloves. He just would not be scared or awed. He stood up almost alone among 50,000 mostly hostile whites and battered down the best they had to offer when Jeffries fell at Reno. It took courage and stamina to do that thing, but Jack Johnson was game and never for one moment hesitated at his task. Our white sports should be ashamed of themselves for their cowardly ducking and stand up like real men and defend themselves against all comers. WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE?

No individual or people submit to slavery willingly, and when he finds himself stationed, his one and great hope is liberation. In the days of chattel slavery in this country, the Black American absolved white civilization to the extent that he desired freedom and when the call came for him to fight for his own liberation he neither shrank nor demonstrated any lack of ability to qualify as the captain of his fate; and when the battle had ended he stood erect not unlike his comrade, and from that time on he has heard and answered the battle cry when and wherever his country's cause was at stake. In a quiet unassuming fashion he has asked for the enforcement of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments for by these PAGE SIX Vice he was declared a free man, a citizen and guaranteed the right of suffrage. Let us analyze the situation and see how far the laws have been conformed to.—The Black Man has gone into the larger cities and asked for a clean place or spot in which to rear his children. In answer to this plea he has been given the broken down shacks in the undesirable section in almost every case. He has said that in every case where my children have been granted equal educational opportunities they have qualified. In spite of this fact the poisonous darts of American prejudice have eaten their way into the hearts of those who shape the program of education for the American youth. In the face of all this discrimination he has demonstrated almost God-like self restraint, and with his bleeding heart has gone before the courts of his several States asking for a just enforcement of the laws, but in many cases where possibly the hand of justice is inclined to rule that hellish monster, the Ku Klux Klan grins out its propoganda—"This is a white man's country."

Perhaps his gravest blow came, however, a few days ago, when the National Capitol turned a deaf ear to his plea for property rights. He fought to free himself from chattel slavery and it seems that he must again fight to free himself from the tyrannical reign of un-American principles and acts which retard his progress. Thomas Wilkins Celebrates 90th Birthday [EDITOR'S NOTE: This article has been delayed because of the copy having been lost, and we produce it at this because of its worth.] One of the unusual social events was the celebration of the 90th Birthday of one of the pioneers of California—Thomas Wilkins. On May 2nd, Mr. Wilkins was greeted by his family and about three hundred friends who gathered at his home to enjoy the celebration of his 90th Birthday. Dinner was served from 12 M. to 1 M. The house was beautifully decorated with abundance of roses and ferns. Mr. Wilkins was recipient of many useful and beautiful gifts. Mr. Wilkins is one of the old pioneers of this city having moved here from Oklahoma when it was a territory, when Los Angeles' public conveyance was horse and cattle cars. Looking a long ways ahead and acting wisely, he purchased five or six lots for a song, so to say, and established his home. His lots have grown so valuable that he recently refused fifty thousand dollars for them. They are in the heart of Santa Fe Ave. Manufacturing Center. Mr. Wilkins is one of our first business having a need for a hardware store and time to First a hardware store the Santa Fe station for many years. He is still active and conducts a tin and repair shop at his home place. Incidentally, he is a musician—one of the old school—having been in, and the leader of many bands and drum corps in many States in his early days. He is yet able to play a tune on many instruments in the modern band or drum corps. He did and does all his playing by air, as he never had the advantage of a musical or liberal education. Jr. Wilkins, the father of six children whom he also taught by air to play many different instruments, had quite a prominent family band in the late nineties. His wife was also a member of the little band. He lost two of the kildies, but four grew up and are quite successful musicians—Praud in the orchestra, local vocal and piano teacher, piano pupil of her brother W. T. Wilkins; Joe Wilkins, a bass singer and excellent trombone player; Martin Wilkins, expert player, entertainer and teacher of ukelele, tenor harjo, guitar and also manager of the De Luxe Male Quartett appearing over K. N. X. Iadu Station. We are all acquainted with Wm. T. Wilkins, the piano teacher, who for the past thirteen years has produced some wonderful pupils and has given many unique and successful Pupil Recitals; he is the only piano teacher of our group recognized as an artist teacher and authority in piano teaching and holds credentials from the white master teachers. So the grand old man at ninety years young, is still active, has many things to be proud of having lived to see many progressive changes of this world along all lines and having helped make it a better place to live in. We wish you many more happy birthdays, Mr. Wilkins. Bessie Coleman. AVIATRIX Out of the skies In the Florida sun while the day is new, And the flowers are wet with the tropic dew, She falls and lies!

What nobler pillar when strivings through And life is done! —HARRY LEAVETTE BUSINESS TALK By: DR. T. L. GRIFFITH The race needs to learn business methods. I wish to state that the church is a good place for starting the lesson. Our fraternal organizations should follow suit. Through these the race at large will learn valuable lessons. First of all permit me to say a few words regarding business methods as applied to churches. Let us start on FUNCTUALITY. You know a train does not wait for you. In a large store, eight o'clock does not mean five minutes past eight. In our churches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Lakes to the Guff, 11 A. M. Sunday morning means any time from 11 A. M. to 12:30 P. M. Ministers seem to have caught this spirit, and weekly ministers' conferences have no regard for time. I am neither a prophet nor a prophet's son, but I venture to predict that we will never develop in business methods until we better understand and value time. Now, next to punctuality I suggest SYSTEM. And I am speaking now of our financial affairs. The old time church had a system of taxing every member so much per week, or so much per month. They saw to it that their members paid this tax. In the matter of system, they really had the best of us. We objected to being taxed, and favored a free will offering system. Now, it is true that the free-will offering system is better, but the trouble is we have no system to our free-will offering "system." A free-will offering system leaves it to the individual to say how much he will give. But laxity in the method of administering the system has brought us to almost no system. Freedom to give accruing to one's own ability, is too often interpreted to mean freedom to refuse to give. All over the country we have thousands of members of our churches who give nothing for the support of the churches, and who also resent the request that they shall give. This to say the least is poor business method. There should be system. Under a free-will offering plan, a member should say what he will give, and unhindered by some circumstance over which he has no control he should be expected to give what he promises. In short he should PLEDGE. He should pledge for current expenses, he should pledge to the benevolences of the church, and he should pledge to any special activity of the church. The fact, that a person does not like to pledge does not make his feeling about it good business. Feeling is one thing; business is another. Business cannot be run on feelings. Good feeling, of course, lies at the basis of all business success. But even good feeling is one thing; and successful business method is another. A church as an institution has expenses. The persons employed by a church have a right to feel that they have the substantial word of substantial folks back of them when they promise to work for them. And after pledging comes ACCOUNTING. The day of the church that has a lax system of accounting is passed. Books must be kept in this progressive age. Well kept books will give any institution good standing to the extent of the business done by the institution. It also creates confidence, and helps to bring about good results in general financing. When the people who are in the churches, and who as a rule are the best folks of any group of people learn business methods in handling affairs, the influence of it will be very wholesome on the race in giving a larger business vision. Don't think a motorist is profane when he says it's a hell of a road. Maybe he only means its paved with good intentions. "Farina" And Flying Fish, And The Studios Of Great "Movie" Producers BY: WILLIAM PICKENS (For The Associated Negro Press) All the Eastern kiddies will be interested to know that here in Los Angeles I have not only lined up nearly one thousand brown babies for what promises to be the greatest Baby contest in all history, but that I have had a lovely visit with a little Brownie who is certainly one of the most interesting babies of all times—"Farina", whose less familiar name is Allen Hoskins. He has a home of his own and a car of his own, and lives with his mother and his aunt and his little sister. As a business man (them!) he works at the studio of Hal E. Roach, in Culver City. I am to visit Hal E. Roach day-after tomorrow and see the rest of "The Gang"—"Fatty", and "Freckles", and all that bunch. But first let me tell you another tale, that not a "fish tale" merely, on my sail to Catalina Island, about twenty-five miles out in the Pacific Ocean, I saw the flying fish. They leap out of the water, and on fins that spread into great wings they fly for hundreds of feet, even changing and reversing their directions while in the air. They do not leave the water long nor far, for they are water-animal and could not live long in air. Their front fins are two large wings and their rear fins are two smaller wings,—and with these four they fly with all the grace of birds. They performed for us all the way to Catalina Island. I take it that they thought the steamer, plowing through the water, to be a whale of a big fish about to swallow them,—and as their flying is doubtless the way they defend themselves from bigger fish, we got to see many of them. I noticed that they were always flying away from the steamer. I cannot fully describe Catalina Island for you, for I have other things to say here, for the benefit of the grown-ups. Wrigley, whose gum you chew, owns most of the island, and has a great house on the mountain side, surrounded by a thousand varieties of flowers and shrubs. This island is really a great mountain in the sea. It is surrounded by "submarine gardens", which you can see through the "glass-bottom boats". There are tall plants that grow up from a depth of thirty or forty feet toward the surface, and among them sport sub-sea animals of many kinds. Well. I got up a days' visit among the studios of Hollywod and Culver City. Mr. Noah Thompson, of the Los Angeles Express, made the connections for me, and I had the good company of himself and wife, Mrs. Barr, of the Urban League, and Clarence Matthews, who used to play the ball game for Harvard University and is now playing another game for office of the United States Attorney General. What a specialized business this "movie" business is! Through the great Players-Lasky Studios we were conducted by a man who was in college when "Mat" and I were at Harvard and Yale. A little talk about "the good old days" put him into such a good mood that he simply set out and showed us the whole works, and gave us the "low down" on the whole business. In one of the buildings ("stages", as they call these buildings in movie-land) Percy Marmot and Clara Bow were being "shot" in the latest story "Man Trap?" by Sinclair Lewis. How much pains and trouble it takes to make the scenes! An incident that is going to be shown for a few seconds on the movie may take it hours and hours on the make and take it JUST RIGHT. Over and over the same words and the similar actions they go, time and again, trying to satisfy the fastidious taste of the director. Have you, seen Sea fiorsse? You will be astonished to know that none in the sea, but all in this studio, in a temporary pond erect there. Even the "deserts" and "typoons" were all made up in this studio. You will hardly want to believe it. You thought the pictures were made in the deserts of Asia and on the great oceans. And all the buildings are mere "shells" or "fronts" with no backs to them. I mean the temporary buildings for movie scenes. Down the street of "murders" we walked, where more horrible "killings" have been enacted than in Mississippi or Chicago. This great slum street, with an Italian "Cafe" at one end of it is just about two hundred feet long. It is flanked by buildings of imitation brick, really a very light composition of material. You will remember Marmot: he was the star in "Lord Jim". And the white college man who conducted us around is named Garvey. And he was nice to me. Isn't that funny? It was interesting to learn that all these pictures are made to the accompaniment of music, usually the same music that accompanies the showing of the film in the movie theatres, or some appropriate music, to put the actors into the right mood. They have orchestras in the filming studios. The Player's Pasky Studio is where the Player's Pasky Studio is where the stands yet the tenement theatre which can seat a thousand people, and which was erected to film Florence DEWITT CONSTRUCTION CO. Vidor in "Love Magic." There is a "construction" scene prepared for another picture; it looks like the steel framing for a skyscraper, and it is the first scene for a picture, in which the action starts by a piece of iron dropping through the umbrella of a girl who was walking along the street near a steel-structure gang—the girl being nearly killed and picked up by some sympathetic man who was passing in his auto. But the point is: they build a steel structure, weeks of work, in the studio yard, to film this incident of a few minutes, under the glare of dozens of powerful electric spotlights, for it is a night scene. The architects, mechanics, engineers, and other workmen number about 2,200 in this studio, tearing down old structures and erecting new ones, and taking part in the scene-making. Over at DeMille's Studio, in Culver City, Louise Dresser and Chadwick were making a scene in a new play, in which Rod LoRoece is to be a star—if I have spelled his name correctly. Louise Dresser is a hard and realistic worker. Over and over again she had to do the same thing, repeating the same tragic words ("Get out! get out! Get out!") to some betraying man, and then alight and be caught in his arms and sink up in a moment couch. All the time we stolled over and over again, she did this distressing, nerve-eating scene, trying to get it right.—I wonder if she has succeeded yet. But the best privilege I had at De Mille's was to discuss with B. Millhauser, the Supervisor of Productions, his proposed plan to screen a section of Negro life,—not a problem play nor a history play, but a sort of Negro "Humeresque,"—just a sympathetic presentation of the Negro group life, such as has been done for other races. It is not to be a play of Negro-white relations, but a play of Negro life. Millhauser is an artist and a sympathetic human, and if he can carry out his idea, this will be the first great Negro picture, as it will be the first nationally distributed picture of Negro Life. He has bought "Porgy" for a basis, and has preliminary contracts with Gilpin, Robeson and other Negro actors.—By the way, George Godfrey, Negro pugilist, is making good as an actor in Players-Lasky. Just as I was writing this Jackie Coogan sent me two of his latest photographs. He is ten years old now, getting to be a real man. But they say he is a most normal boy.

When the series began Monday, Bill Gatewood's Albany Giants were leading the league and setting a dizzy pace for the other pennant ontenders, having played nine games and won a like number. Joe Rush's Black Barons were occupying second place, and according to the veteran manager of Birmingham, were simply waiting for a crack at the league leaders. Last Monday the chance came. The Black Barons grasped the opportunity and with Salmon pitching in a masterful manner and the whole outfit hitting and fielding in mid-season form, routed the Giants 10-3. The second crimp in the Giants' pennant winning aspirations, was out on the second day when the Black Barons went on a hitting rampage, slamming out eighten hits and ten runs while Berndine held the Giants to nine scattered hits and four runs, thus winning the game 10-4. Five errors by Gatewood's proteges in the second game contributed to the Borons' scoring. The out come of this series, while it may place the Black Barons on top of the circuit, certainly stamps the Birndine as the most dangerous contenders for the Southern League Flag. Joe Rush has a veteran team, composed of hard hitters, fast fielders, and base-runners and players who know the game. In Salmon and Bernardine he has two of the best pitchers in the league, who should win consistently throughout the season. The pennant race is tighter now than ever and every team is playing at top form. Memphis, New Orleans, Chattanooga and Atlanta, are fighting to reach the top rung of the ladder and to displace Albany and Birmingham. The Montgomery Grey Sox are having a hard time getting started. This team is a puzzle to the fans, being composed of old timers and lead Dan Cunningham in the team should be the next team. The other teams, however, are not disclined Montgomery and when the season grows older and the veterans round into form. Dad's aggregation will bear watching. BABY GANS BOXES AT FRESNO, TUES.

THey talked him into buying the biggest pile of junk as well as the largest type of car that they could get. "Twas bad enough to load him up with that car but the junk added insult to injury. It has taken some 15 years for Sambo to get educated but like everything he attempts he is no longer anybody's fool, when it comes to purchasing an automobile. Slowly, but surely he has acquired common sense and reason- ing and has deducted the fact from attending the school: of experience that it is heaps better to buy and own a small, good car than a ‘big bum car.

Shakespeare held “All the world’s a stage” -and in the course of life the spotlight is flashed here and there 50 that at all times some portion of this great stage is especially highly illum- inated. Dayton stepped into the “spot” with her “Evolution” and all the spec- tators awaited breathlessly the deci- sion-whether or not man descended from monkey. The light shifted, and our attenton Was called away across the sea-'Was lit a real snake that tempted Eve?” and so on here and there. But now the spot has assumed a col- or and its darker rays are especially directed at Hos Angeles, and the act- ors, flooded with color, are staging a drama, the plot of which hangs on the question-“Will the color of our ‘set’ ban us the use of the public swimm- ing pools in Los Angeles?” Its the same old story; a place of | ezreation supported by’ the public for the public, but in the latter case, the word “public” is interpreted and translated with variations and reser- avtions to the extent that when it comes to using public institutions, our group, people of color, are ‘hot public at all; they become very, very private. Naturally such a condition is deplorable, and naturally the group represented by the great and power- ful National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People are at- tempting to show'the injustice of such a base motive and to gain redress thru the majesty of the law. Like all big business, the Associa- tion has retained a legal adviser, At- torney E. Burton Ceruti, a prominent and an eminent lawyer and over all, ambitious. His is a stupendous respon- sibility, for surely upon his shoulders tests, probably, the future of a race. At any rate the group now in Los ‘Angeles and those to come in the fu- jture will find their welfare, now and later, will de rat upon Mr. Corutis suceess.

If the city finds it needs more than one man’s power to slide downhill, verily do we need many more than one man’s power to pull up. We have the power at hand —and they cannot refuse to put their shoulders to the wheel if they’re called upon for help—it’s their fight. Throughout the land, spectators, both black and white, have anticipat: ed a massed attack led by a bril- hant array of black warriors armed with a knowledge of the law and car. rying the banners of a noble race to a glorious triumph, and they have been amazed that we should withhold our gallant legal army and enter into, th fray with but one brave and ambitious soldier.
