FRIEND OF NEGROES DEFENDS WITH GUN TELEPHONE: VAndike 9244 Phone: VANDIKE 9244 VOLUME 40 Jailed, But Unrelenting the segregation case which was reported both generally and editorially in these columns June 25th, in which it was stated that a body of white men of the neighborhood had formed a restrictive organization, came to a climax Wednesday in a shooting affray. The organization, known as the South-west C. of C. had repeatedly asked and ordered Mr. Menfis Carriere living at 721 W. 85th Street to move. They were led by F. C. Finkle, a deputy sheriff, assisted by Z. Fitzgerald and Jerry Kern. Carrere staunchly refused to move or sell and was championed in the meetings by a white friend, Mr. Harry Grund. Yesterday, perhaps fearing for his friend's safety, or thinking by the threatening attitude of some agitators that he meant to attack him, Mr. Grund is said to have fired several shots, one of which went through mail carrier's window across the street. A gun was found on him when arrested but he declares he is still ready to fight against the bars raised in some sections of the city against Negroes. It has been rumored today that Carriere is now considering a sale to the members of the committee.

The Many Wanderer's Sweet-hearts Now the sailor who sails the 'Seven Seas' Can't always choose his girl— Since my wandering feet will not appease, But seek strange lands and shores without surcease; I meet French, and Spanish and Singales.

Miss Marcla Pruitt Called Perfect Type By Able Critic SIGNAL HONOR CONFERRED UP ON LEADING LADY OF DRAMA "EASY MONEY," TO BE SHOWN AT GAMUT AUD., MONDAY EV. ENING. AUGUST 23RD. --- A radiant vision of blushes and dimples, little Miss Marcia Pruitt of 2224 Hooper avenue, gracefully accepted the appellation, "Perfect," from the lips of A. J. Smith, a critic of sufficient experience for his word to carry real weight in Los Angeles. But ur. Smith, was speaking of the Marcel waves that Miss Pruitt puts i. his wife's hair, in her up-to-date little beauty shop at 23rd and Hooper Ave. However, Miss Pruitt is no less perfect in her portrayal of "Anita," leading character in the dramatic sensation "Easy Money" to be shown at Gamut Aud, Monday night, August 23rd. Uniquely fortunate were those in charge of selecting the cast for this play, in securing the services of Miss Pruitt, for this young lady is really dramatic, really talented, really beautiful. Mr. Fitzhugh L. Banks, president of the well known East Side Realty firm who plays opposite Miss Pruitt, as Mr. Samuel Wellington, a handsome and wealthy but selfish and disdainful batchelor, looks the part so exactly in his "make up" and acts it so well on the stage, that Mr. Banks will have to look to his reputation in Los Angeles, after Monday night, August 23rd. "She was just born for her part," is the comment passed upon the acting of Dr. Annie Leggett, well-known in the professional and social set of Los Angeles, in her role of the rich, haughty, but kind-hearted society matron, in whose employ "Anita" serves. Miss Thelma Brown, daughter of Rev. L. B. Brown, pastor of the Beth Eden Baptist Church, carries her audience with her and there is scarcely a dry eye in the house, when she finishes her dramatic recital of the experiences through which she passed as the wife of a soldier hung as a participant in the Houston Riots. Fresh as paint and haughty as a queen is Miss Portia Prutt, as "Elsie," a white school mate of "Anita's" and conceived fiancee of Mr. Samuel Wellington this young lady really plays her part and no one seeing "Easy Money" on Monday nite, Aug. 23rd will doubt the fact. Very tired, very sick, very spent, and ill is Mrs. Hazel Temple, as the bed-ridden invalid mother of Anita and there is no better acress in the entire production, in their part than this very versatile little matron. Miss Ettaford Sanders, is red-headed in reality and she is more than red-headed in her denouncement of Negroes, as the native southern woman visiting Mrs. Wellington. This young lady has a very difficult part which she plays exceptionally well. A recital of characters who take their parts with ability would not be complete without mentioning Mrs. Sarah Garrott as Mrs. Turner. Mrs. N. A. Hawkins as Elsie's mother and little Jane Christian as a little girl living near "Anita." TAKES PARTY ON SIGHT-SEEING TRIP On last Thursday, Mrs. Sterling Settles of 1342 E. 33rd St, had as her honored guest on a sight-seeing trip: Mrs. E. Sodas and daughter, Mrs. E. Johnson of Marlin, Texas; Mrs. E. N. Wright of Galveston, Texas and Mrs. R. Smith of Chicago. Other guests of the party were: Mrs. B. E. Houston; Mr. E. F. Houston; Miss M. A. Houston; Mr. P. Wilson; Mr. Geo. Oby. Mrs. Sodas and daughter were en route to the Women's Federation in Oakland. Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Smith are staying in our city. Places visited: Griffith Park, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Ocean Park, Venice, St. James Park. A delightful day was spent by all. Mrs. Settles being a cateress served a wonderful lunch in the picnic grounds on the pier of Santa Monica. Mrs. Johnson is a well-known and beloved member of the professional and social circles of Marlin and throughout Texas. They spent two lovely weeks with Friends and relatives here and wish to express their million thanks for the cordiality of our Angel City toward them. A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL Officer Leroy Kelly The above is a likeness of Patrolman Leroy Kelly, the genial traffic officer stationed at the busy intersection of 9th and Central. Tall, handsome and powerfully built, he presents an imposing figure as one of the guardians of the great city's peace and safety. It is erroneously conceived by some that an officer of the law cannot be an officer and at the same time possess the sympathetic qualities that go to make up a peace-loving Christian and a gentleman. But Mr. Kelly is a contradiction of this belief as he is an active member and church worker in Macedonia Baptist Church. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF THE WESTERN STATE OF NEW YORK Thousands of vehicles of all kinds pass under his direction, day after day and so general has the public become acquainted with him that every man and woman passing has a nod and smile for him, and all the children look up to him as a natural protector. Though forced to untangle the traffic, frequently settle disputes, and punish law breakers, he keeps a cool head at all times and is a man not only his race, but the public in general should highly appreciate. Mrs. Cora Carter Dies Suddenly At Convention The many friends and relatives of Mrs. Cora J. Carter will be shocked and grieved to learn that Mrs. Carter passed away suddenly Friday, July 30th while at the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. She was formerly of St. Louis, Mo., but up until her death was President of the Pasadena Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., in which capacity she was attending the convention. Funeral services took place from Johnson's Chapel Thursday, August 5th, at 10:30 A.M. (Other papers please copy) As proof of the fact that wonders never cease in this city, Miss Hazel Gottschalk has discovered in little Alice and Ernestine Wilson, two pianists who will some day in the near future, occupy an honorable place in the world of art. They were presented by Miss Gottschalk on Wednesday night of last week at her home on East 17th street. Among the fifty friends were many high in musical circles who were surprised and delighted at the wonderful mastery the little tots displayed in their playing of the great classics, of which their program practically consisted. The difficult "Somata," one of the great Mozart's masterpieces, "Barcole," by Bibro; "Chevalaresque" by Burgmuller; "L'Avalanche" by Heller and the descriptive "In an Alabama Cabin" by Cadman were, all played perfectly with true interpretation and artistic touch and technique. Miss Mavna Lowe sang "Pale Moon" in beautiful voice and Mr. Edward Atkinson rendered the comical little solo, "You'd better ask me." Camden, N. J., July 26. (A. N. P.) The "back porch burglar" who, has been operating in this city for several months, turned out to be a white youth in the person of John Penn, eighteen, of Broadway near Haddon avenue. He was arrested early Saturday morning after a chase. When Detectives searched his room they found watches, rings, silverware, and other small articles of value. Police are endeavoring to connect him with about thirty robberies. They say that in each of these, the manner of entry and the thief's methods were the same. Many colored men were arrested and the police tried to put the blame on them. Heavyweight Wrestler Stages Comeback at Vernon TOOTS MONDT AGAIN IN ACTION AT DOYLE'S Toots Mondt who up until four years ago wasa constantly in the limelight as a heavyweight wrestler meeting all the top notchers staged a comeback at the Vernon arena Tuesday night, August 17th his opponent was Herman Staph for a one fall, 30-minute contest. The occasion was the big wrestling showstaged by DePalma in which the old Bill Demargas and Steve Savage met with William Donovan who threw him in 35 min, and Walter Miller wrestled Joe Parelli in a championship elimination bout with Miller winning. Parelli trained at the Main street Athletic Club all last week and finished under the middleweight limit. New York Colored Boy Rides Motorcycle To Los Angeles There recently arrived in the city a youngster who had the grit and endurance to ride his Indian Chief motorcycle, all the way from New York to Los Angeles. He is only about 18 years of age, but made the trip with little difficulty. He is now at 1803 East 35th Stret, Los Angeles, Calif. Mayor Of City To Dedicate New Hefflin Plant Officer Sheffield To Fly The big Dedicatory Exercises on the site of the new Hefflin Manufacturing Company plant will be highly honored by the fact that Mayor Cryer will preside over the ceremonies.

Assorted sandwiches, potato salad and pineapple sherbert was served to the 12 guests. Mrs. J. Trance won first prize while Mrs. Robt. Ebene carried off the booby. OLDEST WOMAN IN LOS ANGELES MOTHER ELIZA ALLEN We are giving in brief the history and some of the activities of Mother Eliza Allen, who, at her death, was believed to be the oldest woman in Los Angeles. Until the time of her death, it is said, she was as young physically and mentally, as when she was but a young woman. According to the daughter of the deceased, Sister Eliza Allen was born a slave to one Mr. Ratliff in Lexington, Ky., January 1st, 1800, which would make her 182 years, 6 months and 7 days old at the hour of her death, which occurred 4 A. M. Monday, June 7th, 1926, at 1228 Compton avenue. Sister Eliza Allen was the mother of eleven children. She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Permele Smith with whom she resided; one grandson; one granddaughter and three great grandsonss. Mother Allen has always been a Sabbath keeper, religiously speaking, being reared such by her owner, himself a 7th Day Baptist. The 1906 Sister Allen came to California in this same year connected with the 7th Day Adventist Church where she has since remained faithful. She has only been an active member in the church but she spent long years of service in "denomination book work." At the time of her death Sister Allen had been confined to her bed for several weeks prior to her death. While there she realized she would not recover from this last attack she suffered hence would often say to her daughter that her "work was finished." After eating her breakfast 9 A. M., Sunday morning, she could not speak loud enough to make herself heard. Sister Mary Anna Menchan was at the bedside when she breathed her last breath. She described the scene as having been a peaceful one, just as if she had resignedly relaxed into the arms of Jesus. Sister Allen was a great church worker, and at her advanced age went to Redondo Beach, Venice, Glendale, Ocean Park and Hollywood selling the literature for her church, she made all of these trips alone. Elder Rich conducted the funeral services. An Interview With Pres. Mary McLeod Bethune BY CAMILLE COHEN-JONES (For the Associated Negro Press) Eyes 'aglow, pride beaming upon her countenance and a heart armful of gratitude for the wonderful co-operative spirit of the delegation crossing the continent to carry a message to the women of the far west so as to have them feel that though they are far from the center of activities, they are part of the program of the association and much needed for success, Mary McLeod Bethune, sat in the beautifully appointed Golden Gate Club Car and gave praise to the women who are so loyal to the cause. Two years ago when California extended an invitation to the women to meet with her, a big cry went up! "Entirely too far, it is too expensive, and we shall never have the representation we ought to have, and it is host to have it in a firm centrally located city," but it was not to be. California won out, and the one question expression of pride made by President Bethune when told that the Rock Island officials state that this is the largest special they have ever sent across the Continent?. This special caries at this time (we are right now at Council Bluffs, Iowa) exactly eighten Standard Pullmans, with two more to be added later on, at Colorado Springs, two diners, one club car, and one observation car. Listen to Mrs. Bethune's program in her own words:— "I am for peace and harmony first of all. It is my wish that our meetings will be noted for that above all things. I want to do the things that are best for us all and the things that will go farthest in promoting our ideas and carrying them out to a successful finish. Wherever you wish to go, there shall you find me willing to go and to work to put over the things that not only will help us as women, but to make things better for all humanity. Mine is not a selfish motive. It is to promote the interests of first, the women, next the race—but I do so want that all will be well with the world at large. Of course, I am anxious to see the women of the world take their rightful place in the work of this life, and the women of my race to shoulder our responsibility. I want the men of my race to recognize us and give us credit for what we do, not only for them, but for all who call upon us. Then I want America to be for ALL AMERICANS, not only in the north, but throughout this vast, beautiful, country of ours, and I believe when a group of women, such as we can beast of in this delegation, can get together and put before the world our program, we shall be listened to with respect and granted our wish with free hearts. "I have in mind a selection of women from the different sections of the country to make an education tour of Europe during the year of 1927 in order to be prepared to give us the full benefit of their observations at our next biennial convention. We believe that our biggest problem is that of education and when we have solved that we have won the battle. The solving of that problem is our work, and we are going, to do it no matter how hard it is. We have the brains to do it; we have the will to do it, and God giving us our health, we shall put it over" "This is the wonderful spirit of the entire delegation and with such women, terminated to do, why can not such a race succeed? Why is it astonishing that we have mad esuch progress when we ave such women in our midst? Remembering that 'No Race of people can rise higher than its women', surely we are on the incline and our men should be proud of us and assisa us in every way possible." Mary McLeod-Bethune is profuse in her praise of the women who are assisting her. She realizes that nothing can be done by one person alone and co-operation is needed, to do all things well. Mrs. Bethune is dynamic, magnetic, and impressive, and can put over anything she has in mind to do. Having learned that the secret of success begins by bing a good follower, then later on the experience gained by following well, puts one in a position to direct with intelligence and gain the confidence of those who come from behind or who have gone on before. In her grateful and charming manner, Mrs. Bethune holds open house in the club car and all of the women revere her, respect her, and look to her for inspiration. A southern woman by birth, (South Carolina claiming that honor) and now a resident of Florida there educationally. Another hope expressed by Mrs. Bethune is that "sections" will be forgotten and that those best fited will do the work to be done and that they will be selected for the good they can do and render service when called upon to do so. To know Mary McLeod Bethune is a privilege as well as an inspiration; to follow in her wails is a thing we should all strive to det to keep up with her is more than a notion, but thank God, she is easy to meet and worth while cultivating and one coming in contact with her is bound to realize that Life is worth-will and that one must find something to do in order to find happiness and that happiness is found only in service. Among the many new comers who have arrived to settle in our midst are Mr. and Mrs. J. Starling who have taken a nice home at 1401 E. 5808 St. They are now being visited by their niece, Mrs. Jeanna Fields, a prominent teacher of Marshall University. The Mulliganas are here from Lake Lake City as are also Mr. and Mrs. A. Stumpie who have arrived with the expulsion of settling here. COMMENTS By: W. J. WHEATON With the incoming month, August, the aspirants for political favor have renewed their energy in the game of vote catching. The three candidates for gubernatorial honors—C. C. Young, Rex Goodcell and the present incumbent, Friend Richardson—are making a thorough canvass of the state and promises. galore are greeting the ears of Mr. and Mrs. Citizen. Judging from the blowing straws Young seems to have a mite the best in the going. He has shot the economy claims of Richardson full of holes and has corraled a great following on his stand for the Boulder Dam project. C. C. Young has yet to show color or racial bias which cannot be said of the incumbent. It is alleged that Friend Richardson in taking in consideration the appointment of a colored man to a judgeship lost sight of capability and made the assertion that "he did not think that the time was ripe to appoint a man of color to such a position." But the governor had no hesitancy in making a boot black stand a political controversy which was carried to the Supreme Court of the State. It seems that there is a racial complex in the Governor's makeup and a color bias which, in his opinion, determines fitness. It will speak well for the dignity of the particular people whom he has sought to humiliate to repudiate his efforts to retain office. Some of the non-discerning Colored voters have shown a tendency to support Chief Justice Waste at the primary election. Justice Waste is an appointee of the present governor and if we look carefully into his decisions we learn that he, also, seems to have a color complex which reverts to his judicial opions. Open up 181 California, and read his decision in the Los Angeles Realty case. His opinion in that case, in which the matter of ownership and occupancy was argued, would uphold the most insidious scheme of racial segregation ever evolved in the brain of man. And Judge Hauser, another Richardson appointee in another case coincided with the opinion handed down by Justice Waste. Then Mr. and Mrs. Voters you of the Race, should read the dissenting opinion of Justice Thomas J. Lennon and note the difference in the points of the law which was unbiased by colored glasses and you will have no hesitancy in deciding where to place your $(X)$. Men and measures, not party should be the watchman of every ower of the Rise. Especially should he be in the selection of our legislative representatives. They should be interrogated as to the stand they would face in the event that legislation be sought inimical to the interest of any particular group of citizens. There should be a close watch kept on the many measures which will be presented before that body because sinister interests are seeking to inject conditions which, while appearing harmless, will serve to make conditions such as the ownership of desirable homes intolerable. Blind following of party should be eschewed and votes be cast for those candidates who will legislate for the people as a whole and not for any class or clan. The hired political "Bally Hoo" should be disregarded. The advice of the person who works for a mercenary purpose should be disregarded. Give those people sufficient money and they will try to make you believe that Pat Harrison and that ilk are your best friends. It will pay the voter to pay particular attention to domestic conditions and thwart the efforts of those who have shown their true colors and have placed color on the throne of displeased JUSTICE to maintain their power and influence by adding in their defeat at the polls.

In order that the prisoners might become better acquainted with the Reverend, a very splendid lunch was served the Kyles Temple pastor along with a few other visitors. Rev. Wright held the pulpit at Kyles Temple, Sunday morn- THE GRAND LORGE --- 1. TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS DECREASE Los Angeles is slowly but surely conquering defective traffic conditions despite pessimistic knocks given existing traffic laws from time to time by persons who have more respect for those violating the law than those bent on observing the law so speaks traffic officer Kelly who directs and keeps traffic in order at 9th and Central. "The traffic officer's job is at no time an easy one. His very presence is obnoxious to many, yet he is simply placed at street intersections to make it possible for both pedestrians and motorists to reach their point of destination with least inconvenience. However conditions are improving. Accidents and arrests for traffic violations are not so numerous as a year or so ago. Education is doing the trick. The traffic officer simply solicits co-operation in his effort to perform his duty. Given this the public can rest assured that traffic violations will continue to decrease and a better relation built up between the police department and the citizen." BACHELOR GIRL CAMP AT LAKE SIRENOR Sunday, July 25th in three private cars loaded with camping paraphernalia, the Bachelor Girls left the city of Angels for Elsinore, that popular summer resort on their second annual camping trip. Upon arrival, they immediately pitched their tent and prepared themselves to partake of those things that accompany ideal camping. During their week's stay, they participated in everything that tended to make their trip enjoyable. Rising every morning with the sun, a memorial day was always looked forward to. The daily swim was aided greatly by the new and fancy bathing togs of the girls. The old standby -hiking -proved as interesting to all as usual. Possible "she" Babe Ruths were found in the club members during the occasional baseball games that were played. Probably the most interesting of all sports was that of rabbit hunting in Elsinore, wild woods. This was quite novel and new to most of the girls and -oh yes, they caught some rabbits -eight to be exact! Dancing was indulged in both on the pavilion at the beach and at Coleman's Hotel. The cooking was done in the open and each girl's cooking ability was tested by cooking on the camp stove. Many compliments were given the club on the appearance of the tent and other equipment. Much of the good time is attributed to the excellent chaperons, Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Hostkins. Mrs. Beatty also accompanied the girls. Sunday, August 1st found the girls "breaking camp." With many sore limbs, sunburns and other natural results of a real good time, they returned to L. A. All loudly proclaimed that this, the second annual camping trip, was a booming success in every way and although they were eagerly looking forward to next year's trip, they will always recall this outing as being one of the most enjoyable times of their lives.

RUTH TEMPLE NOTE: The recent occurrence of a number of cases of Genorrhea in my department at the White Memorial Hospital justified this departure from "maternity" subjects in order to talk with patients this week about the incidents of this terrible infection in school children. Address all queries to Dr. Ruth J. Tampa, 8556 So. Western; Phones, University 1255; Empire 9881; Vandike 1221. Within the past few weeks I have had several cases of severe Gonorrhoea in children under 6 years of age. Their mothers brought them into my department at the White Memorial Hospital suffering with a profuse discharge and slight pain in the pelvis region. I sent the slides to the laboratory to have them examined and they proved to be positive Gonorrhoea. Babies only 3, 4 and 5 years old with an awful venereal disease, which, in spite of all treatment may go with them through life. In all of my eight years' experience at the White Memorial Hospital as specialist and in other city clinics I have had most of my cases of Gonorrhoea in children among the white race and practically none among the Black. All of the cases mentioned above were in white children. THE CAUSE OF GONORRHEA How is Gonorrhoea contracted? In one of several ways the germ, which is the cause, is transmitted. A person with gonorrhoea always has a discharge. In this discharge the germ causing the infection are found. If any particle of this discharge is left on towels, toilet seats or in bath tubs these may be source of infection to others. The most common source of infection from gonorrhoea is sexual intercourse. There are many cases on record in which older men have infected small girls through rape because of the absolutely false idea that intercourse with a virgin will cure gonorrhoea in men. HOW SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE INFECTED There are two common sources of infection in school children. Bad habits of all kinds are prevalent among many school children. They do not mean to be sinful, but they are ignorant. No one has ever told them anything—they do not know. Parents should stay close to their baby girls and boys. Do not wait until they are ruined—save them by telling them in time about the beauty of shunning evil habits and the grave dangers of yielding to them. Next to venereal diseases from evil habits the toilet is probably the most common source of infection in children. No child should sit on a toilet seat in school nor in any public place. Always put a clean newspaper on the seat before using it. HOW TO PREVENT AND CURE THE CONDITION There are many positive cases for general use. I have seen them treated for years. We had one little Italian girl 8 years old who came for 2 years of treatment and was not then cured. But she came some which seem to be entirely cured. Especially those which are taken early. Therefore it is absolutely imperative that a mother watch her child and if she finds the heliotaxis of a discharge, do not wait, but go at once to a physician and have a laboratory, slide made and examined that you may begin the treatment in the very first stages as this is the only possible way to check the infection and get the system freed from the disease. Prevention is worth 10,000 pounds of cure. Every child should be well informed concerning the results of evil habits and the careless use of public towels and the public toilet. In this way may be prevented the ruination of the lives of hundreds of school boys and girls before they are really old enough to choose for themselves between right and wrong. The second of a series of talks given by the manufacturer of the famous Gulbransen Registaring Piano, Mr. A. G. Gulbransen, Chicago, Ill. As said at the start these are published in the interest inspiring the piano owning public toward efforts of having their pianos serviced regularly by an expert piano technician. Chicago Musical notation of western civilization is an awkward compromise, declared A. G. Gulbransen, in an address here. "To obtain perfect, tonal relations between all the notes in all the scales the octave unit would have to be divided into twenty-seven notes, instead of twelve," said Mr. Gulbransen. "In every octave there is a slight variation which has to be distributed among all the notes. This is done by counting the 'beats', or air pulsations, caused by the vibrations of the strings an by mathematical formulas, adjusting them to balance each other. "This is a scientific task, which does not require its performer to be piano expert in acoustics and mathematics of tone relations. "Every piano should be tuned at least twice a year. Professional musicians have their pianos tuned after each performance. Pianos deteriorate if not tuned. The musical ear of both player and hearer is ruined by our of tune pianos. More than a billion dollars worth of pianos in American homes are drifting along to the junk pile because of neglect, according to A. G. Gulbransen, piano manufacturer, in an address recently in Chicago. "All the piano tuners in America working day and night every day in the year could not take care of half the pianos in this country," said Mr. OZONE TREATMENTS TUBERCULOSIS, KIDNEY DISORDER, ASTHMA, HAY-FEVER, HIGH AND LOW BLOOD PRESSURE, RHEUMATISM, NEURITIS, AND ALL LIVER DISORDERS. Breath is the Beam on which the whole house of the body rests. It is the MASTER-KEY of purification and Pure Blood is Life. If your blood is weak or impoverished, the various organs of your body cannot function properly, and the whole body becomes weak or sick. If you are continually feeling badly or sickly; "ou are UNHAPPY and you make others around unhappy, and you cannot SUCCEED in either matrimony or business." Gulbarnam. "An united piano deperates and warms intergalia. The reason is that the 280 strings of highly imperformed steel are a skill of 18 tons. When this business utilizes it writes the public sounding board out of string." The writer is completely equipped to begin all makes of pianos and keyboard piano, and as a sym artisan works with the piano and keyboard of the musical profession, should be employed at regular intervals to keep pianos in time.

To those purchasers and all other persons interested in Eureka Villa we wish to announce the following: On June 17th, 1926, we negotiated the purchase of Eureka Villa consisting of 720 acres of land. Included in that purchase were its good and bad accounts, contracts and deeds of which title has never been given. We are not going to discuss the 'whys' and 'wherefores,' fight or criticise anyone, but we have gone in there with our eyes open and with both feet on the ground with plenty of money with which to give deeds and titles to all of those who have waited so long for same. WATER: Contract for the development of water has been let to Ralph Shaffer of Filmore, California, who is now engaged in putting piles in the river-bed at Filmore, and promises to get into Eureka Villa during the week of July 25th. GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS: A general contract for the development of the entire tract, roads, dams, pools, parkways, playgrounds, etc., has been let to George Paonossa, 1045 Highland, Los Angeles., California. Should the little company release us in time, we will formally open this tract on Labor Day with the largest swimming pool in the county at which time Jimmie Smith will stage a "Bathing Girl' contest: silver trophy and cash, etc., as prizes. HUDSON SPECIAL BROUGHAM: To all persons who should buy a lot at Eureka Villa or before September 15th, 1926, we will give a number; to all persons who now hold contracts and are behind in their payments, but who care to pay up by September 15th, will also be given a number. These numbers will entitle you to a chance of being presented with this automobile now on display at A. L. Johnston's, Inc., Hudson and Essex Agency, 25th and Central Avenue. To those who will make no effort whatever to bring their payments down to date by September 15th, 1926, your contracts will be cancelled and all money paid in forfeited as liquidated damages. We shall more than do our part at Eureka Villa and most assuredly will expect you to do yours. Payments will be accepted by the National City Bank, 8th and Main Sts., until our escrow and trust shall have been completed, at which time you will be instructed to put in your demands for deeds and title. LAURA C. JANES, Sidney P. Dones, Eureka Development Ass'n., Eureka Villa Advisory Board and Rev. E. R. Driver, all of whom have nothing more to do with the management of Eureka Villa, but when the title company shall have finished its search of this entire property we will own Eureka Villa outright and have ample money with which to develop same. It is true, we did secure the county's help with a park program to the extent of $25,000.00 authorize anyone to commercialize on that information with a letter or public demonstration, authorize anyone to use Eureka Villa to further their interests politically and as owners of the that someone or group exceeded their authority, therefore, we are not responsible for anythin said or done by anyone but ourselves. To date, there has been only one person authorized to talk about the future plans of Eureka Mrs. Nellie Turner, AXridge 5008. Should anyone desire to know more or pay contracts do make new purchases, or any salesmen care to sell these lots, see Mrs. Turner.

L. Traeger the incumbent with a commanding lead which bids fair to hold out to the end and there are many of the Sheriff's friends who declare that he will again emerge victorious by election at the primaries. The fact remains that as you move about, with your ears to the grass roots, you hardly ever hear a discordant note when the sheriff fight is mentioned. They all say TRAEGER! At the various meetings throughout the county the Traeger spirit is in the air, as a matter fact, no other name is barely ever mentioned. Therefore it seems to be the consensus of opinion that Traeger is on his way. PREACHER L. B BROWN IN THE SPOT LIGHT CLAIM TO SPEAK FOR 20,000 COLORED VEHICLES RIGHT on the heels of our editorial reproduction from the "Chicago Bee" and comment thereon, here comes a preacher true to form, speaking, so he says, for 20,000 Colored voters and he gives his endorsement to somebody for some office, and if this preacher delivers full value of his strength, doubtless Justice Curtis will gather one vote. It is the same old story and we are loath to tell it, but the Reverend has stepped out on the battlefield of politics and must be able to stand the gaff or get out of the way. The reason, we say this is the fact that there is not one ounce of truth in the whole situation. His statement in the Daily is absurd.

Criswell, Republican candidate for Congress from the Tenth District, according to a letter received at the Criswell headquarters from L. B. Brown, secretary of the board of directors of the exposition. Now, we have been content to let things slow along and the people to get their own information about some so-called Industrial Association, which has yet to demonstrate its existence, but when this embryo organization goes forth to shear its sheep without demonstrating and attempting to hijack in the political field, we must call its hand. Our advice brother, is, if you are the promoter of industrial conventions, make good at that and cut out this misrepresentation about 20,000 Negroes endorsing anybody. It comes with bad grace and is a reflection on our race. Read well the two endorsements; Rev. L. B. Brown says 20,000 members membership endorses - Judge Curtis and the same organization endorses Ralph Criswell. Now, as a matter of fact, if Brown did touch these candidates or their managers up for the iron men, it managers lesson worth while. For if perchance there real existing and worthwhile proposition has been put up to them they would prefer the bunk proposition, to the good one. The only reason, we take occasion to get in on the game is the fact that such conduct must be exposed or a sad reflection is upon all of us. Now, we are not fighting. Presciner Brown at all, we are eternally against the situation of craft and we do not doubt for one reason that somebody is using this supposed Industrial Association for their own selfish ends, in other words mooching off of the PHONES (Office, WEstmore 5704 (Res., WEstmore 5704 Office Hours:---- 10:30 to 12; 2 to 4; 7 to 8 DR.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1926 FR1DAY, JULY 30: 1926 UPTON'S RAILROAD CLATTER By Chas. L. Upton --- PROF. J. W. BOTTS INAUGURATES TEAPOT DOME SYSTEM IN LOS ANGELES Prof. J. W. Botts, Pullman investigator who has been looking after the Los Angeles District during Porter Instructor L. A. Coffins' illness, has brought with him his famous Teapot Dome System, and has established it in this district. Many of the Los Angeles Porters not familiar with the system were surprised to see notes in their equipment boxes with a record of things they neglected to do, and a reminder of the right way to do them in the future. The system which was first tried out in Portland gossip among the men of this district by the Professor has created no little as the majority of older men are considered a hundred per cent efficient, while the younger men are fast being trained toward the hundred per cent goal by our able Instructor Mr. L. A. Coffin. CALVIN W. MURDOCK CALLED TO CHICAGO IN INTEREST OF PORTERS AND MAIDS Calvin W. Murdock, firmer representative of the Los Angeles District, left over the Santa Fe fr Chicago last week. There will be placed on the bureau of industrial relations a representation on the employee side. And with this end in view, Pullman employees from the seven zones will meet in Chicago August 2nd for the express purpose of electing one of their group to serve on the board with the management representative to handle arrievances and look after the welfare of the Porters and maids throughout the country. A baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. I. Harold Browning of the Four Harmony Kings of New York during their present tour in Europe. This makes Mr. Wm. H. Browning father of I. Harold Browning a proud grandfather of a foreign born child. Mr. Wm. Browning is custodian of the Porters' car for the Pullman Co. EDWARDS BURIES SISTER Porter Edwards operating out of this district buried his sister last Saturday. The porters of this district extend their sympathies, to Porter Edwards during his sorrow. T. D. STARKS ATTENDS PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF SWEDEN Porter T. D. Starks had the novel on the Santa Fe for Chicago last week, car which had as its guests the Prince and Princess of Sweden. The party first boarded the train of one Pullman and two private cars at The Grand Canyon, stopping off at Galup, N. M. for three days, from which point they motored to the painted desert. The party again boarded the train and left at San Bernardino, motoring to Pasadena. This is considered quite an honor for the Los Angeles district. We give em service as they come Kings, Queens, Dukes, or what have you? R. Hicks now operating in line 28 to San Diego was seen last week gliding down Central avenue in his powerful Paige motor car, and he was not alone by any means. Ah she was dressed in gorgeous purple. Look out, Hicks, or the wedding bells will be ringing for you soon. J. D. Banton was trying out Central Avenue with his Studebaker last week. Mr. L. A. Coffin, Porter Instructor for Los Angeles will soon be the owner of one of the swellest two-story apartment houses with four flats on the West Side. Is it hot in Phoenix? J. S. Hankins says no; but some say he is HOT-BOILED. W. King has been on the sick list for some time but is now able to go to work. Mr. V. Ross is back from his vacation and the boys are at last able to go to the sign office without any fear of catching the RAT. -00- If we can just get Mr. L. A.

If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened SOUTHERN PACIFIC They tell me that Mr. Henry Morris better known as the Trench King likes to drive a fine car in the trenches. Mr. Albert Sparks had a ringside seat at the Tiger Flowers fight. McRiley is still peddling the same old brand on dinner 10010. He would make a good real estate dealer with his line. They say that Logan, the relief chef is afraid of the Indian. What Indian silly? "Why the one in front of the cigar store foolish." Warning to itineraries. I know a young lady who reads this column every week so watch your steps, boys. You bring canteauge from Phoenix to your sugar? The girls say they can wait no longer for the S. P. Boys to get a raise and many are now turning their eyes longingly toward the Pullman Porters. That's right; girls; Mr. Pollock gave all the boys a copy of that song entitled, "You Will Have to Wait Until Martin Comes." I have looked in vain on Central avenue for Arthur Nunn and that hot car, but I guess he is going to wait until Martin comes. SANTA FE RED CAPS SANTA FE RED CAPS Red Cap, Fleming, has not made the grade on that new uniform yet, and the boys are not going to let him rest until he gets one. He says he is waiting for the Santa Fe to build a new depot. Home come? Mr. Luther Wilson entertained a party of thirteen at Doc Nelson's new Cabaret on the opening night. Mr. E. G. Brooks not to be outdone by Mr. Wilson put over a hot party at the new Bronx Cabaret. Now whose turn is it? —00— Would like to get some real snapy news from the Santa Fe waiters? Mt. to Chas. L.

That the use of electric power and light in Los Angeles' homes, stores and factories has more than doubled in the past five years, is revealed in a statement filed with the Water and Power Commission by Chief Electrical Engineer E. F. Scattergood of the Municipal Bureau of Power and Light, who draws attention to the rapid rate at which this city is continuing to grow, as well as a remarkable increase in the percapita consumption of electrical energy here. Declaring that the homes, stores and factories of Los Angeles are demanding every horsepower of electricity that can be made available, Mr. Scattergood stated that the Power Bureau must be permitted to develop additional hydro-power now available along the Owens River Aqueduct and provide additional facilities for the handling of this energy within the city itself. During the year 1921, Mr. Scattergood "pointed out, the people of Los Angeles consumed approximately 350,000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity for all purposes, exclusive of the energy used by the street railways. During the first six months of 1926, electrical users in this city, exclusive of the street railways, had already consumed 370,000,000 kilowatt hours of this energy. This reveals, it was shown, that for the entire year of 1926, Los Angeles people will consume more than twice as much power and light as they did five years ago. The amazin gincrease in the use of electric power and light in Los Angeles during the past five years discloses not only the rapid growth of our city," said Mr. Scattergood, "but also the fact that the people are increasing their per capita consumption of electrical energy. "Low rates for power and light service has made electricity a convenience in every Los Angeles home, rather than a luxury. In Los Angeles, electricity has taken its place as the unfailing servant in the home. The home manager has come to use electrical energy for an almost unlimited number of purposes in doing her household duties. "This increasing demand for power and light, places upon the Powerer Bureau the duty of providing additional supplies of this energy to meet our present needs, to say nothing of our requirements in the near future. "An increase in the demand for water in Los Angeles is resulting in a greater flow of water through the Owens River Valley Aqueduct. This increased volume of water, in turn, presents to the Power Bureau the opportunity to enlarge its power development facilities along this waterway SPARKS From....THE QUILL Of....Noah M.

Later in the evening favors such as jockey caps and Unca Sam hats and unique parasols were distributed among the guests. El Frappe Punch kept everybody feeling just too fine 'while assorted candies kept everyone's cheek bones moving properly. The guests departed at one declaring they couldn't have had a more luxurious time. Toot toot, Doodle doot, Scoot, Get away—I'm Gone!!!

"Bonds to finance the construction of works necessary to the development of this energy are to be submitted to the voters at the August 31st primaries. With these bonds voted, the Power Bureau can go forward immediately with this impressively needed development work, as well as with the construction of other facilities required to handle an ever increasing demand for power and light service in this city. "It will cost the taxpayers nothing to vote these bonds, since all interest and principal charges will be met from earnings of the Power Bureau."

With erest in the magnate referred a decision is, on the whole, sensil "We learn that a prominent financial magnate of Chicago has threatened to spend no more money on the south side. (For the sake of people outside of Chicago, let us say that the south side of Chicago means the colored section). The reason given for this decision was that the Negro leaders to whom the money has been given have usually failed to spend the money for the campaign. Without having the least bit of interest in the magnate referred to, we want to say that the decision is, on the whole, sensible and just. "Nor is this condition peculiar to Chicago. It is equally true of New York and other cities. It is not limited to the Negro politicians either. It applies to the whites as well. "Now, as every well informed person knows, a great number of Negro politicians and preachers simply fool white men out of large sums of money from year to year. They go in and get money which is seldom put into the campaign. Most likely a few circulars and hand-bills are gotten out a few days before election and the rest of the money pocketed. There are unquestionably certaina high-type ministers and public men, but most of those who frequent the political headquarters are primarily grafters. Only recently two prominent white office-holders told us how a Negro preacher of Chicago had pretended to sell his congregation. One of them said this Negro minister first sold him the congregation. Then he sold the congregation to his opponent When each opponent learned of the minister's action, both went to see the gentleman of the cloth. Whereupon the swallow-tailed grafter explained that he had adopted a basis of equity, because he gav eone-half of the congregation to one and one-half to the other. "While this crook was more subtle than many others in explaining his action, he fairly well represents the group. It is safe to say that not five cents of a dollar is spent on the campaign by most of these political grafters who are given money for campaigns in the black belt. What should the political managers do and how should they do it? Here is a question which is capable of an answer—a practical and valuable answer. "First, it is possible to reach the colored voters of Chicago. It may be done at a reasonable and honest rate. We state this without having interest in any candidate political party. There are two legitimate newspapers, only, in Chicago. They have circulations and intelligent direction. They are neither blackmail nor extortion sheets. Together they reach the colored leading clientele of the city. No political party can purchase their editorial departments, but those political parties can buy space for presentation of their side, just as they would purchase space in one of the white dailies of Chicago. Outside of le gitimate publicity, there is no occasion for spending any money except for halls, speakers who really speak, postage for letters actually sent out, and precinct workers who work under supervision." "The preceding facts go for everybody and for all parties. White men who have made huge business success should not be misled by a few scheming Negro politicians and unscrupulous preachers who do not reflect the sentiment of the community. They should apply the same business analysis which they apply in commerce, finance and ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read The CALIFORNIA EAGLE You May Never Know It Happened industry. There they follow their dollars and demand a return upon money invested. They also try to make the investment which brings the greatest return. The best investment which the campaign managers can make is in the legitimate colored newspapers which are really circulated and read by the voters. This course is the ship; all else is the sea."

Cook, a twenty-five year resident, farmer, mechanic and cani How She Arose From Obscurity to Stardom How She Arose From Obscurity to Stardom (Continued from last issue) Madam Sul-Te-Wan's early school days were happily spent in Louisville; her home town. As has been said, she showed signs of innate ability in singing and dancing. However, at this period of advancement, dancing was not looked upon as an art to be cultivated, hence at first the little actress, whose soul was brim full of enthusiasm for the thing she liked best was her own tutor and gathered about her, her school associates as a daily audience, who lauded her performances and were apt as well as anxious puils. But fortunately for little Madam, her contact with her mother's friends opened for her an unexpected opportunity for demonstrating her whole ability. She was often invited by the best of the town to sing and dance at polite affairs, and perhaps her greatest inspiration as well as information came with her privilege of attending the shows that came and went weekly. One time seeing a new dance and hearing the latest song hit was enough for little Madam Te Wean as she was still still only child. So, she did grow in favor, that no longer were the school pals her only audience. The city became her stage wifif it citizens her patrons. (To be Continued.) Big Game Hunt Is Responsible for Lyke- Being of an inquisitive turn of mind, your reporter when interviewing the DNT Laboratories for the articles which appear on page one asked how they ever happened to discover how to make the product Lyk-Wate. And here is the story behind it, which goes to prove that lucky mistakes still happen. Modern rubber as we all know was the result of carelessness on the part of a man who, while experimenting with rubber allowed some of it to boil over on the mot stove. LYK-WYTE has somewhat the same history. Some three years ago a chemist was endeavoring to perfect a positive cure for eczema. After a good many trials, he felt that he had finally found the correct way to make this cure, so he gave samples of it to various friends to try, asking that they let him know what the results were. One of the first to use it was a man who had but just returned from the tropics, where for three years he had been after big game, exploring and looking for a legendary gold mine. A few weeks after startling to use his friends salve, he noted that his face on which he had been applying the salve every night was much lighter than the rest of his body, which of course he been deeply tanned by the real sun. Investigation by the chemist, who at once saw what a world-wide demand there would be for a real skin bleach, provoked that he was able to bleach the dark pigment in the skin. Months more of work were essential to bring it to a stage of reflection, but finally it was done. Since that time thousands have been using it, all with the same invariable results. It positive bleaches the skin. If your Druggist cannot supply you send one dollar to the DNT Laboratories, 1616 East 9th street, Los Angeles, California, for a jar sufficient for a month's use.

Traeger in order to prejudice voters against his re-election. M. A. B. Loving MR. J. B. LOVING, Los Angeles County Jail, Hall of Justice. Dear Major: There appears to be a persistent rumor that the Sheriff did not live up to certain promises made to the members of the California Citizens Civic League by an explanation in detail of the above, and the relation sustained to fellow officers and the duties thereof. Thanking you for a speedy reply, I beg to remain. Yours truly, R. G. LAMAR, Sedretary, California Citizens League, 1520 Essex St., Los Angeles, Calif. MR. R. G. LAMAR. Seey, Cal. Citizens Civic League, 1520 Essex St., Los Angeles, Cal. Dear Sir: In reply of your note of a few days ago, permit me to submit the following for the satisfaction of all parties concerned. Relative to my position of Deputy Sheriff of Los Angeles County, which position I have held for a period of twenty years, during fourteen years' of which time I served as Turnkey. This position necessitated being indoors during my entire working shift, by reason of which my health was so threatened I considered resigning. About four years ago upon election and induction into office of Mr. Wm. L. Treager, who recognized my condition and proposed a change of work which would permit me to enjoy natures light and sunshine. The choice of work was left to my own selection in the same class. My long and tedious experience as a Turnkey had taught me the necessity of a regular and trusted Inspector* of locks, walls and gratings. Up to this time there was no one entrusted or charged with this grave responsibility. I suggested to my Superior the necessity of such a position as a distinct duty. The suggestion was accepted by Mr. Traeger and I was immediately appointed to the position of Jail Inspector. Not only did this carry with it a degree of motion and an awareness of salary, but I also received a vote of confidence second only to that of Chief Jailor. This was the first promotion and increase in salary that I had received during my fourteen years of service. I can truthfully say that the position was created at my suggestion, and I was installed at my own request I am therefore more than satisfied with my station and further I enjoy the confidence and respect of the entire personnel. The title of the position above mentioned is that of Jail Inspector. I therefore hope that this explanation will serve to set at rest any and all false rumors respecting my position. I wish also to emphasize the fact that I am not at present, neither have I ever been, employed in the capacity of Janitor at the L. A. County Jail. Respectfully submitted, MAJOR J. B. LOVING, Inspector County Jail Among the delightful events of the week was the birthday party given in honor of Miss Alma Featherstone Grenshaw, Friday evening, July 30th at her home, 4100 Hooper Ave. The rooms were adorned with a profusion of balloons, serpentine and garden flowers. The favors were very artistic and there were more than a hundred that danced to the tune of the three-piece orchestra. Miss Crenshaw made a very charming hostess. The many gifts were more than adorable. The visiting guests who attended were: Miss Mineola Love, of San Francisco and Miss Willie Penn of Dallas, Texas. Miss Juanita Raboutin entertained with a theater party at Carthay's Circle last Thursday afternoon honoring Miss Jennie Dora Grayson of Portland, Oregon and Miss LaVerne Martin. Other guests included the Misses Clothilde Curry, Ruby Jefferson and Florence Russell. PINGELUS FUNERAL HOME 1030 E. JEFFERSON ST.

LADY ATTENDANT FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN 1400 East 17th Street Phone: WEstmore 2060 Pioneer Builders Of Los Angeles Robert R. Cook, a twenty-five year resident, farmer, mechanic and capitalist, says as follows: "I owe my present success to the installation and operation of the Owen River Aqueduct and its bi-product, namely Electric Power. "Property purchased before the induction was very cheap and practically unfit to produce anything, of a commercial value, but as soon as the people were assured of plenty of water and power, property was advanced in value hundreds and in many instances thousands per cent. "I am still a believer in, and an advocate of water and more water and power, our continued success and security is dependent upon these vital essentials. "Yes, I am for the Bonds—first, last and all the time. My advice to my friends is to vote "YES" on the Power Bond. Thereby insuring prosperity and expansion. NOBODY SPEAKS Mr. Sidney P. Dones, of the Sidney P. Dones Brokerage Corporation and Sub-Divider of Eureka Villa Lands: "An abundance of water in Los Ang- les and vicinity is its greatest as- set. Without this we could not have attained to the present rank and position among the great cities of our country. If we are to maintain that position we should vote "YES" on the Power issue, thereby removing all doubt as to the future possibilities of of this our great city." ONE OF L. A. MOST POPULAR CLUB WOMEN AND CIVIC WORKER'S VIEW Mrs. Clara C. Hubert, 1468 E. 29th St., Los Angeles, Calif., takes this stand: "I was a resident of Los Angeles before the completion of the Owen River Aqueduct. Past experience teaches me that a shortage of water or power at this time would be a calamity unapparalleled, in the history of our great city. We must have an abundance of water and electrical energy. Our immediate and distant future is dependent thereon. I urge those who know me and are willing to accept and profit by my experience to vote "YES" on the Power Bond." ELDER RODGERS AT BAT Evangelist, Past P. G.
