SPECIAL HOLIDAY EDITION Los Angeles County Sends Greetings To The World THE PORT OF BALTIC. TELEPHONE: VAndike 9244 VOLUME 40 The opulent beauty of the district now called Los Angeles County gladdened the hearts of explorers long ago. The unique equability of its charming climate offered health. The wealth of natural resources in its warm valleys, rolling hills, high mountains and picturesque coast contour, promised prosperity. It was like a Garden of Eden to the traveltired padres of 169. Years of comparative activity in pioneering were followed by decades of quiet. The city of Los Angeles, for example, in 1880 had only 11,093 residents, with several thousand more scattered throughout the district. Then colonization quickened, Los Angeles County in 1926 had a population of 2,147,878 and an average of 10,000 people arrived monthly to settle in the sunshine land on the Pacific. Today the outlook is brighter than ever. Much has been accomplished of late years. Far more, an hundred times as much more, must be done before this remarkable section is fairly started toward real development, production and trade expansion. Its surface is but scratched. Its business opportunities appear unlimited. The back country of Los Angeles County is the magnificent young southwest portion of the United States, with its immeasurable riches. It is a vast region comprising Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada and California, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming west of the Continental Divide, and is bordered by the treasureland of Mexico. It is changing constantly before our eyes into an empire of industry and progress. Its many communities maintain direct and continuous relations with Los Angeles County by radio, airplane service, railways and excellent motor roads. The interchange of business between this huge tributary territory and the coast county with its wonderful harbor is amazing. Tonnage at the pot has increased ewelve hundred per cent in five years and is gaining every month. The county has become an immense marketplace for the wares and products of its neighbors on land and friends across the seas. Buying and selling take place on a grand scale. Curious consignments come from the Orient. Foreign buyers bid for California and back country products. National and international concerns maintain western branches whose purchasing agents buy in the local markets and ship to the four quarters of the globe. All sorts of commodities are bought and sold, and Los Angeles County with its many marts, is like an animated fair with numerous booths. Hundreds of thousands of visitors annually make their individual purchases. Local manufacturing plants buy raw materials and ship nationally known products. Superbly located for foreign and domestic commerce, Los Angeles County has a swiftly growing trade with Mexico, the Central and South Americas, Hawaii and the South Seas, Australia and New Zealand, China, Japan and other awakening Oriental countries, and with marvelous northern California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Canada. Its great and ever-expanding harbor is scientifically planned and built for an unceasing future growth. Its strides in shipping during recent years have astonished the maritime world. Its exports rose from $2,159,725 in 1916, to a value of $71,792,434 in 1925, and during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1925, Los Angeles Harbor commerce led every American seaport except New York in volume. The local wharves handled 22,268,421 tons of freight borne by 5,901 vessels. And, in the intercoastal traffic, Los Angeles surpassed even New York City in tonnage. Yet the harbor facilities must be multiplied without delay to meet demands. Business with the back country has only begun. Local manufacturing is in its infancy. Our commerce is a crawling child. The prolific soil here offers independence and health to millions of people. There are innumerable chances for success awaiting workers, in finance, labor and trade. Aside from business and climatic attractions, there is the charm of romance: romance of the past and present. The former, so generally recognized and appreciated, recalls in a flash the days of old when California in lonely loveliness lay by the LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DECEMBER 17, 1926 The New Los Angeles City Hall Hall of Los Angeles now in course of erection at a cost of more than It is 450 feet in height and consists of Twenty-Eight Stories LA COURT CENTER The New City Hall of Los Angeles now in course of erection at a cost of more than $5,000,000.

It is heroic history, which stirs the blood, with its pardres and pirates, discoveries and duels, grain-planting and gold-finding, its sea storms and shore strife, its Indians and strange incidents. It helps us make light of our own problems. The romance of the present is the magical metamorphosis of Southern California. Enterprises and towns are springing up on all sides. Great accomplishments are being swiftly succeeded by greater ones. The birth and growth of ideas are so sudden that one is constantly being surprised by his neighbors. Romance, old and new, in Los Angeles County, is an intangible asset. It cannot be measured in tons or dollars or degrees of temperature, yet it should not be dismissed too lightly, for it stimulates the imagination and pleases the mind in these days when the latest inventions excite only momentary notice. It is inspiring, indeed, to contemplate the past, to witness what is taking place arund one, and to help a little oneself in waving the magic wand of transformation. Los Angeles County men and women feel a constant pride and joy in developing their remarkable territory. Their notable happiness of spirit is, perhaps, due more to the satisfaction which comes from doing things, rather than from an enchanting environment or a tonic atmosphere. They are a happy people, whatever the reasons, and full of faith, courage and hospitality. They see so much to do, so much more than they and their descendants can ever do, that they are always glad to have newcomers join in the glad work of development. There are 4,115 square miles within the boundaries of Los Angeles County. It is nearly half the size of Massachusetts or New Jersey, four-fifths as large as Connecticut and two-thirds the size of Hawaii, and more than three times the area of Rhode Island. Most of the ecountry is undeniably beautiful. Magnificent mountain walls bound it on the north. The lovely fertile valleys of San Gabriel and Pomona are in the eastern part of the county. The rich fields and orchards of Orange county, and a fair curve of the ocean, form the southern boundary. The Pacific, mightiest of seas, on the west, stretches away to the Orient and the southern archipeligos. The county has a coast line 85 miles long, with unsurpassed bathing beaches and fascinating resorts. Its coast cities are inspiring in their beauty and business activities. Their swift advance in commerce of late years is amazing. The sea fishing is unexcelled on the Seven Seas. The kelp beds and waters along shore teem with vast schools of many varieties. The numerous free municipal piers are thronged with anglers. Sea fowl hover about for their toll. Cataina Island and San Clemente lie in view westward. Nine-tenths of the population is within thirty miles of the sea. Maritime pursuits and pleasures are mounting higher and higher each year in the lives of people here. The climate in general is marvelously even throughout the entire year. One can find interesting differences in weather, however, between the warm valleys, the mountain heights and the dry atmosphere of the desert region back from the coast. Health seekers can have exactly what they desire in climate in Southern California. A detailed analysis of weather conditions will be found under the heading of climate. Los Angeles County has been the leading county in America in agricultural production for the past fifteen years. U. S. Government figures show this conclusively. Modern scientific marketing methods prevail. The total acreage is 2,633,360, of which there are 882,333 acres of agricultural land and an actual prducing area of 247,223 acres under irrigation. The irrigable area at present is estimated at 362,118 acres. Gigantic irrigation projects are under way involving many millions of dollars. The soil responds with celeriiy to cultivation. The remarkable strategic position of the county is one of its greatest assets. It is on the new frontier of America. Few districts on earth are as advantageously placed for trade. 宋 RALPH SCOTT, Chief of L. A. Fire Department FIRE DEPT. EXPANSION IMPERATIVE The average citizen can not realize the tremendous growth of Los Angeles, as measured at only by the increase in area by annexation, but increase in building and population, from internet growth. The records of the Los Angeles Building Department show that since January 1, 1923, 60,711 building permits were issued for buildings intended to be used as dwellings. The records of this department also show that the housing capacity of these buildings is for 109,418 families, or an estimated total of 474,000 persons. These figures are not the result of guess work but are statistics carefully kept. Evidently this increase would alone populate a city of considerable consequence. During the same period of time, Los Angeles had increased in area by annexation approximately 54 square miles, thereby still keeping itself well out of reach of any competitor. After a city grows to the size of Los Angeles a few hundred thousand more or less increase in population or a few square miles of added territory mean nothing at all to the most of our citizena. As a matter of fact, the necessity for such things as fire protection increases directly as area and population increase, and what may have been adequate ten years ago is by no means adequate today. Fire protection must be supplied, and the issuance of bonds furnishes the only possible means by which fire department expansion can take place. It has always been possible to pay for the exercise of engine houses and the equipment of the same with expensive apparatus from current revenues of the city. The Fire Department must now purchase and pay for the installation of all fire hydrants, and the difficulty of securing adequate provision for this necessary work is becoming greater from year to year, and for the present final year no money is available for hydrant installation. It does not need much argument to prove the necessity of an adequate number of fire hydrants. Without fire hydrants, an army equipped with the most modern apparatus obtainable is helpless in the event of a fire. The records of the Fire Department show that at the present time there is an actual shortage of 6,000 hydrants. This shortage results from fire department efficiency in many ways, particularly in the outside sections it renders it impossible to get more than one or two streams of water on any fire where, usually four or more streams could be used to advance. Practically a total loss from th's reason alone, being necessary to carry this amount to lay the long lines of hose which necessity now demands. A line of one or two thousand feet is at the present time not unusual and fire hose, usually very well built, is not calculated for any such service as this. The Fire Department engineers are familiar in practice, at least, with friction losses in lines of hose. To get an effective nozzle pressure on a line of several thousand feet in length, it is necessary to supply an enormous pressure at the engine, this resulting in very early deterioration and destruction of the hose, as well as deterioration of the apparatus itself, both for the season of overload as above stated, and the continual furnishing of unusually high initial pressure. Fire hose is a rather expensive commodity and when it is known that there are at all times in service in this department mroe than $100,000 worth of fire hose, costing on an average one dollar per foot, it is well to hook to the care of this equipment. A fire hydrant is a permanent investment and when once installed will last for fifty years. It will be comparatively fresh in the minds of many that the Fire Department in 1922 campaigned for and the people voted favorably upon a bond issue of $250,000 for Fire Department expansion. It may also be remembered that the Fire Department accepted this figure as a compromise amount, stating at the time that it was insufficient to bring the department up to standard. The fact that the bonding limit of the city was nearly reached was the principal factor in preventing the submission of a bond issue of twice that size. It will be remembered also that from the bond issue of 1922 one million dollars was set aside to be used exclusively for the rebuilding and extension of the fire-alarm system, leaving but $1,500,000 to be devoted to Fire Department purposes exclusively. By the expenditure of this latter amount the Fire Department made a wonderful expansion showing and the Department was augmented by the addition of twenty-five distinct fire-fighting companies, which included the building and equipment of fifteen bungalow type fire stations, five 2-story fire stations, the purchase of a number of pieces of real estate necessary for the establishment of new houses, 81 large pumping engines, five serial trucks, five city service trucks, and a quantity of fire hose and the construction of the 4-story reinforced concrete head. Fire protection is like insurance; everybody agrees that it is necessary in the abstract, but the need is seldom realized until the actual situation which I am told in cities which have already suffered in configuration that proved to be such proportions as to practically wipe out either business or residence districts, or both, there is no difficulty in persuading the voters that fire protection is necessary. Los Angeles has thus far been extremely fortunate in this regard, as no fire of any consequence, speaking comparatively of course, has ever occurred in this city. Let us hope that it will never occur, but as an insurance against such a contingency the fire fighting fraternity must ever be vigilant. It devolves upon Great cities are great builders. Centers of population that have endured are notable for their constructive work. This is true throughout all history. Excavations made in ancient lands reveal that the buried cities had carried out great constructive work. As communities grow it becomes more and more necessary to provide for their needs. First, paths are made, then roads are built and later great highways are constructed. As the population becomes greater it is necessary to construct great sanitary systems. Los Angeles, the fastest growing city in the world, a city that achieved in two decades what required two centuries for other cities to achieve, faces in an acute manner all the construction problems of the great cities of the world. With more than a million population it will be necessary to spend more than a billion dollars in order to catch up with its construction program. This huge program is being worked out by forward-looking citizens and their plans ultimately reach the board 10 1745 HON. HUGH J. MeGUIRE of public works. This commission is without doubt the most important in the city government, with the possible exception of the Bureau of Water and Power. With the very efficient Hon. Hugh J. McGuire as its president it has control of many subsidiary departments of which the biggest is the engineering department employed more than 2200 persons, under the direction of the city engineer, more than 800 of these workers are of the colored race. The present year has seen the completion of several major bridge projects, among the most important being the Macy Street Bridge the Annieheim Street Viaduct (Wilmington), the South Sherman Way bridge, and the widening of the Universal City bridge. The total value of this construction is $1,077,000, not including rights of way and property damages. Bridges and viaducts under construction include the Seventh Street Viaduct, Fletcher Drive bridge across the Los Angeles river, the Riverside Drive-Dayton Avenue bridge, and two sections of the Glendale-Hyperion viaduct, the estimated value of this work some agency, therefore, to educate the people in the matter of necessity for periodical bonds for this purpose, for, as above stated, there is no other way of securing the necessary funds. The Fire Department and its spokesman must evidently carry on the campaign, which we are willing to do, and leave no stone unturned to secure a favorable result. The Los Angeles Fire Department conducted an intensive campaign during October of this year for the passage of a bond issue of $2,500,000 for additional fire protection, but the measure was defeated at the polls November 2nd. The proposition received a favorable amity but not he necessary two-thirds which a bond issue requires; for passage. It is my desire that this matter be again brought to the attention of the voters at an early date in 1927, as the additional fire protection must be supplied if Los Angeles is to be maintained as a city reasonably safe from fire, there being no other method yet proven practical by which funds for Fire Department extension can be secured. In this coming campaign we intend to be very definite as to the manner of expenditure of bond money. Every voter should know in detail just what benefit his district will derive from the expenditure, and thus, with cards face up on the table and the voter in possession of all information available it will be strange indeed if Los Angeles can not authorise an expenditure of money to make possible a growth of the Fire Department which will be accompanied with that of the city of Los Angeles. being $1,245,000. Plans are being prepared for the main structure of the Glendale-Hyperion viaduct, the First Street viaduct, the North Spring Street bridge, and the Fourth and Lorena Street bridge and grade separation. It is expected that these projects, aggregating over $2,000,000, will be under construction in the coming year. Twenty-one pedestrian subways included in the $50,000 bond issue of 1925, have been completed at a total cost of approximately $185,000, while eight others are under contract and rapidly nearing completion. Plans are being prepared for nine additional subways and it is expected that the balance of the issue will be allocated to definite locations shortly. Work has been started on the grade separation of Downey Road and the Union Pacific; condemnation proceedings are under way for the separation of grades at La Bea Avenue and San Vicente boulevard; while construction will soon start on an overhead crossing carrying the Pacific Electric over Pico street at San Vicente boulevard. The estimated cost of I The contract has been awarded and work has been started on the Municipal Refuse Incinerator, authorized under the 1924 bond issue of $400,000. The total mileage of streets in the city of Los Angeles on December 31, 1926, is 4422.11. Of this amount 1092.96 miles are paved, 1190.72 miles are otherwise improved and 2183.48 miles are unimproved. During the calendar year 161.83 miles of streets were added to the city by annexation, of which 34.48 miles are paved, 56.76 miles are otherwise improved and 70.59 miles are unimproved.

Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. The Olympic Games are a modern replica of the classic Greek games which originated in the seventh century B. C. At that time they were a national festival held each four years and participated in by the several integral parts of the Greek Republic. They became an event of the utmost importance in the national life of the ancient Greeks and continued until the decline of the Greek Republic. Late in the 20th century the classic Greek Games were revived and the first modern games staged at Athens in Greece in the year 1896. These games were participated in by the leading nations of the world and, to the credit of our nation, it may be said that first honors in the games were won by athletes and contestants from the United States of America. This honor has never since that time been achieved by any other nation. No international conclave of any kind is of greater significance to the people of the world and of greater value in the promotion of international all goodwill than the modern Olympic Games. It is therefore a distinction of great note that Los Angeles will enjoy in 1932 when thousands of athletes in all branches of sport meet here in sunny Southern California to vie with each other and to promote a finer spirit of international good will. Los Angeles must awt-ken to its responsibility in connection with the Olympic Games. That responsibility involves the provision of the physical equipment to accommodate the various contests which include almost every known branch of sport, the provision of accommodations for the hundreds of thousands of people who will flock to Southern California to witness these games, and the provision of facilities at the games for many spectators. Fortunately this city has one of the finest outdoor stadiums in the world in the Coliseum at Exposition Park, with a capacity of 90,000 people and with an arena which lends itself well to all sorts of contests. The greatest deficiency in equipment in Los Angeles is possibly in relation to swimming, for we have at the present time no swimming pools adequate in size to accommodate the extensive swimming program of the Olympic Games and provided with sufficient accommodations for thousands of spectators. Provisions should be made at an early date to provide an adequate swimming pool. Doubtless there is only one place where that pool should be locat- opportunity is presented here of util- and that is at Exposition Park. Anizing the great grandstand now standing in the park which may accommodate 7000 people. The holding of these games on the Pacific Coast will act as a tremendous stimulus to the development of health and strength among the young people of the West. Boys and girls now running in age from 12 to 20 years will be by the time the games are held nation in the Olympic contests. It have, be old enough to represent their should be the ambition of every boy and girl to strive to improve in physical strength and agility to merit the honor of representing the nation in the Olympic Games in 1932. The municipality should feel a sense of responsibility to provide at this time the necessary outdoor space and playground equipment to give Los Angeles youths the opportunities for training which they should have. It cannot be said that the young people of, our city are justly dealt with unless more playgrounds and other recreation places are provided at which they may spend their leisure time and improve themselves in many ways. Los Angeles prides itself upon its leadership in most matters, but it is a significant fact that, while standing fifth in population in the United States, we stand fourteenth in the number of playgrounds operated by the municipality. We should take time by the forelock and improve this condition while put vacant property can be secured at prices within our economic capacity. The ancient Olympic Games symbolized the importance which the Greek people attached to the development of physical form, health, skill and endurance. The attitude of any municipality toward these matters may well be gauged by the number of places which rise provided by the mumplaygrounds and other recreation icipality for its young people. In anticipation of the privilege, the responsibility and the opportunity of entertaining the thousands of international athletes, Los Angeles should at this time do its part so that it may be looked upon as a model in the matter of municipal provision for play and recreation. The Playground and Recreation Association of America is planning to hold in Los Angeles in the year 1932 an International Congress on Play and Recreation. Los Angeles will be held up to critical examination by the many visiting delegates from all over the world and should lay its plans now to develop a complete and thorough recreation system to which it may at the time point with great pride. ...

My Wishes for the New Year When first requested by the CALIFORNIA EAGLE to address its circles of readers through the medium of its columns in the Christmas Number, I found it hard to choose from the many books that I believe would prove of great use in our celebration of Holiday new, but at all times.

This office of crime and "persecution" is the office of District Attorney the people, and for the people"be conducted by the District At-Asa Keyes! On the contrary, I frequently found the child being treated with too much lenency for its own good. Discussion of the matter with the teacher brought out the reason for this: They felt that the Colored child was suffering from what the psychologists call an "inferiority complex," that is, he has an innate belief that all the world is against him, because of his Color, and is sometimes disposed to show this in bursts of resentment, unruliness or impudent speech to his teachers. The latter, understanding this, shows too much consideration for the child, to the juvenile's detriment. For in this way he does not get all that he should from his school life. gown and sophisticated, well-poised and capable of taking care of herself. Our young girls are the equal of those of any group in the matter of high moral standards. I have dealt with girls of 1920 all races in the course of official duty, and find no cause for disquiet on this score, among the Colored girls. Moreover, it has been officially remarked and highly commended, that the parents in the Colored family retain influence and authority over their girls for a much longer period than parents of other groups, of the same social status. That is, such girls of our group who come under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court are almost always much older than the girls of other races who come before the court for the same reasons. This is the Yuletide Season, when our hearts are attuned to joyous things; therefore, I do not wish to be harsh or severe in my comments—but I do feel that constructive criticism is for the good of the entire group, at all seasons! One of my most earnest wishes for the New Year, is that our Young Peo- ple shall enhance, greater courtesy, not only toward their elders and those in authority, but in each other in social intercourse, and at the same time set a pleasing and inspiring example in this respect to their childish brothers and sisters. Courtesy and Good Breeding cost nothing, but their practice makes for smoothness and harmony in our family and social life, and they are an invaluable asset in the business world. I would particularly point out the desirability of quiet, dignified behavior in public places. Too often, our young people, assembling in groups in the street, store or elsewhere, indulge in loud talk and laughter, attracting the unfavorable attention, not only of critical members of other groups, but of the better class of our own people. While on the subject of good breeding, I am reminded of a certain young millionaire and his sister, from Montecito, who visited a prominent Los Angeles family last summer. Among many social honour extended to the visitors, was a musical given by their hosts. The exquisite manners of the young man were a subject of lively discussion among our girls. For instance, when any lady rose, or left the room, the young man stood up, out of deference and respect to her. Many of our young men were present, and I hoped that some of them might be inspired to emulate the visitor's example. However, to date I have seen nothing to indicate that such was the case. It is not that our young men are not capable of the highest and best in culture and breeding. They feel that they are not expected to exhibit these ultra-refinements of courtesy; they "get by" without them; they are accepted "as is." It rests with our womanhood to be more exacting; to demand, and they shall promptly receive. In fact, one of the most unfavorable features of the attitude of our youth is the lack of chivalry on the part of our young men toward the girls of their acquaintance. For instance, an utter lack of formality in extending invitations, carelessness and indifference in the matter of keeping engagements punctually, all showing a demoralizing lack of respect for our young womanhood. And again, young men repeatedly accept invitations to the homes of young women, enjoy the hospitality of their hostesses and their parents; yet never reciprocate these courtesies, or even acknowledge them in any way dictated by good breeding. The remedy for all this remissness is in the hands of our girls, as I said before. They should insist upon the strict observance of the laws of good-breeding. Now, lest the above be interpreted as the disgruntled fault-finding of one already "out of the race," it should be remembered that courtesy and polished manners characterize the cultured person always and everywhere. These are not matters of changing fashion, nor attributes of the "old folks," to be heedlessly disregarded by the younger generation. It is another of my most earnest wishes that the substantial men of our group would cultivate more intimate Our women are not so remiss in this respect. They have many study clubs, such as the Phys-Art-Lit-Mo, the Friday Morning Club, and numerous others. Their doors are open to girls and young women, who appear very ready to avail themselves of the opportunities thus offerde. On the other hand, it is my opinion that there is no place in our life for any club not dedicated in some way to the betterment of community conditions. I do not favor the purely social or pleasure club, even for young people, and whether they be "fraternities, " "sororities," or what-not. After attending the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in Oakland this past summer, and hearing of the splendid accomplishments all over the country for the betterment of our group, I pledged myself theremand there to do more and bigger things, in my own field of endeavor, during the coming year. And it is to be hoped that all who read these words will be my co-workers toward this end, and do their bit for the advancement of our group in 1927! ```markdown ``` Mr. Harry Beal, the very popular and wide awake manager of the busy Legion Club, East 12th street, this city. --- employment for others, served its many policyholders, increased confidence and respect for Negro business may be seen in the following: 1.

Judge Georgia Bullock Advocates Redeeming Station For Women Division VI of the Municipal Court is one o f the twenty-four divisions of the Municipal Court created by an act of the Legislature of the State of California, in February, 1926. All cases of Failure to Provide, and cases in which a woman is a Defendant, with the exception of Wrigh Act and traffic violations, are heard in Department 6 as well as all cases where men are arrested with and charged in the same complaint with a woman or women Defendants. After sentence is peased, in many cases reconstruction work in connection with these Defendants should begin. While the Law has provided various agencies for that purpose, which include Probation Officers and Social Welfare Agencies, individual work is done by high minded people inspired only by a desire t o serve their fellow men. There are four measures advocated by social welfare experts, viz. preventive measures, remedial measures, educational measures and recreational measures. After a girl has been arrested and convicted, an investigation before judgment, or after, reveals in many cases that she is largely the victim of her environment and poverty, disease and ignorance, although it is the duty of every member of society to provide same, reasonable and practical opportunities to such a girl whereby she may become a self respecting member of society. The Probation Officers complain that hundreds of girls, diseased to such an extent that they are a constant menace to society, have but 67 beds in hospitals which are devoted to this class of person, who make prostitution their business. Some part of the overflow, of course, is cared for in the General Hospital and in various charitable institutions; but there is evidence that many victims of this condition exist who cannot be and are not adequately cared for. Therefore we see a sorry, hopeless procession of human beings ground through the Mill of Justice today only to go out to meet the same conditions and come back omorrow . . . just a treadmill existence, for some, at least. It is useless to talk about reform unless the means are at hand. We hear today much about the theory, and see too little of the practice. While people of varying degrees of intellect and education argue their various theories, starvation and disease of minds and bodies in many cases win the battle. The officers and workers of Division VI of the Municipal Court owe a debt of gratitude to those who take up the work of he Court when legal procedure les go. Among those co-operating with Division VI are the Midnight Mission, Salvation Army, pastors of the various churches of our city and the unflagging zeal of the Superintendent of County Charities and others. Their understanding and splendid assistance fight the good fight—let us all join hands! Judge GEORGIA P. BULLOCK Division VI, Municipal Court, City of Los Angeles. SAN PEDRO Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Lucas entertained at their beautiful home Sunday the 12th inat, with a seven course dinner, the following Los Angeles party: to wit, Dr. Jno. S. Outlaw, M. James M. Vena and Lawyer Isidor D. Blair. The party on reaching San Pedro went first to Mr. Eugene Lucas' office at 1st and Frond Street and mobbed therefrom to his cozy residence where for the first time said party was met by Mrs. Lucas who proved herself to be a splendid hostess, and hard to excel when it comes to making it pleasant for her husband's friends. Incidently it may be added that Madam Lucas is from Jackson, State of Michigan, and whose parents and relatives are among the first citizens of that state. City Attorney's Duties Comparatively few people have an accurate idea of the duties of the City Attorney, and I am glad to present this brief outline of the office for the information of the readers of the California Eagle. It is the almost universal idea that the City Attorney has to do with the prosecution of crime. This is entirely erroneous. The business of the City Attorney is entirely civil; he occupies the same position toward the municipal corporation known as The City of Los Angeles that the General Counsel holds toward a private corporation, advising its officers and board of directors, and handling all cases in court involving the corporation; preparing and approving of bonds required under the Charter; all contracts entered into by the City; all deeds and legal documents involving City property; all ordinances enacted [Name] 1 THE HON. JESSE STEPHENS City Attorney by the City; all franchises granted to public utility corporations within the City of Los Angeles. His office also handles all Workmen's Composition cases for City employees and handles all matters before the Railroad Com- mission of the State of California in- volving public utility rates, grade crossings, etc. The large bulk of as conferences with with City boards as answered; approval etc., cannot be however, the follow give some small a volume of this work year: The City Attorney is assisted by a staff of 25 attorneys, together with a large force of stenographers, clerks, process servers, etc. More than 3000 drafted and checkes provement projects 1016 lighting 'pro The volume of litigation which the City Attorney's office is required to conduct is not only large and important, but also varied in character; and as the business of the office keeps pace with civic growth and development it shows a constant increase in both volume and variety. This litigation is conducted not only in the Municipal and Superior Courts, but also in the Appellate and-Supreme Courts, and even the Supreme Court of the United States. The City Attorney's office has been so organized and systematized that the legal work of the City is handled by attorneys especially trained in the particular kind of work referred to them. For instance, in the opening and widening of streets, alleys and rights of way, many condemnations of private property become necessary. This work is conducted by a corps of attorneys, who handle that class of work only and all street proceedings are examined and checked with the greatest possible care. An assistant to the City Attorney attends every session of the City Council and all im ```markdown ``` portant Council Committee meetings. The greater portion of the time of one deputy is devoted to the answering of questions and giving information to persons coming to the office, not only with reference to matters connected with the City government—in which capacity the office acts as a clearing house for the troubles of all departments—but to almost every imaginable perplexing situation requiring legal advice. A representative of the office attends all sessions of the Legislature and takes care of he preparation and presentation of legislation necessarv for the protection and development of the City at large. When it is considered that the expense of municipal government maintenance is in excess of $20,000,000.00 a year, and public improvements in the city aggregate many times that amount, it will be readily understood that a great number of very important matters arise involving large sums of money and requiring much expert legal work and attention. 1 The large bulk of office work, such as conferences with the public' and with City boards and officials; letters answered; approval of bonds, deeds, etc., cannot be given in tangible form; however, the following summary will give some small conception of the volume of this work during the past year: More than 3000 ordinances were drafted and checked; 1195 street improvement projects were worked on; 1016 lighting' proceedings handled, 333 Sanitary Sewer matters, 391 Contracts; 1774 Council Reports, 956 Workmen's Compensation Claims and 189 other claims; 121 Annexation Proceedings; 42 leases; 229 Street Vacations; 308 Zoning matters and 736 Formal Opinions; in addition to almost 725 litigation matters which have been handled through the various courts of the state and coun t.yr City Loses In Park Fight At Manhattan By hot wire from Manhattan comes the news that Mrs. Bruce is happy from the fact that the lo city has lost and there will be no city park at Manhattan.

THE MEMORIAL Twenty years of effort, twenty years of toil, twenty years of hope and devotion and Secretary T. A. Green, of the local Y. M. C. A. realized his ambition when the doors of the modern Y building were thrown open on the 13th day of November. The fruition of the genial Secretary's life's ambition was freely acknowledged by the wonderful support of the people which made the task possible, and it is to them that he gives the fullest possible credit. To those on the outside looking on, they have admired the fight which at times seemed an unequal task for the Secretary to gain his objective, but he looked neither to the right, left nor behind, but looked ahead always and gained success. Truly T. A. Green is worthy indeed of all the honors which he has achieved. Kind hearted and generous t o fault, all factions, all denominations, all races and creeds accepted his leadership and now they feel highly complimented in having done so. HON. FREDERICK M. ROBERTS THE WEEKLY NEWS In this case with Assemblymen Roberts of the 74th District by R. G. LaMar, Secretary of the California Citizens Civic League, we found our representative standing by the people. "I am just as determined now, as when first elected, to carry out the will of the people, with regard to the Reapportionment Measure. The people declared in favor of the same and I consider that I would be derelict in my duty and obligation if I did not proceed to carry out the mandates laid down in the recent state election. I believe we eas representatives of the people owe them that consideration. No, I shall NOT be a party to any filibustering scheme. Not only in the matter of Reapportionment, but in no matter pertaining to the interest of the people." POPULAR CHOICE Wm.·H., Sanders Out of the results of the last election the triumph of Senator-Eliot J. W. McKinley from the 38th District brings to the forefront a man who gives every evidence of being a popular and happy choice for the people. We can visualize a great future for him and that he will at all times serve them faithfully and well. DR. B. L. BOSWELL ```markdown ``` DANCE! DANCE! WHERE? AT EAGLE HALL, 833 CENTRAL AVENUE. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1926. BY ADELPHIA COUNTRY CLUB. THE SCREAM OF THE SEASON THE MASTER OF THE WORLD To the readers of The Soaring Eagle and warns them that Los Angeles slipped closed to Texas during the past twelve months than it has in the last four years. This is timely warning from a sincere race man and one of the foremost Criminal Lawyers in California and should be given heed. J. Neah D. Thompson, member of the Municipal Housing Committee of Los Angeles as is his custom in the holiday number of the "Soaring Eagle" wishes every human being regardless of race, color or creed a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. For putting the aforesaid proposition, the Grand Excaled Ruler referred it to the Department of Education, which acting through its Commissioner of Education has selected as the topic for discussion for the contexts for this Grand Lodge p. "The Condition of the U.S. Negro," with particular reference to the third Amendmentstheirto. The contest is to be held in April and May, 1827. The Commissioners in expulsion the selection of this subject of this clause says that his object is to draw the minds of every Negro person in High School or school, giving similar instruction to read and study of the organic law of his or her country, and in this instance emphasizing those amendments familiarly known as the Amendments, they also labored to establish a citizenship and prohibited the denial of suffrage because of race, need or color. The Commissioner feels that, at this time, when the United States Senators are saying that these exports these amendments to be safe for so far as Negroes are encouraged, that a general discussion urging the enforcement of the proposed laws, in all aspects that relate to the social of the Negro's manhood rights would be helpful and hence, he holds that if there could get all of the Negro students in the High Schools throughout the United States and the adjacent states of the state to study and discuss the Constitution and amendments that it would aid in the enforcement of these Amendments. To encourage in this endeavor the Grand Lodge of Elks have inaugurated the National Oratorical Contest and proposals to lead the final time in May 1927. National contests will be held in April, 1927, in various cities in different sections of the country, it depending upon the number of schools that desire to enter pupils. Of course, for this effort to be successful, the Elks shall have the assistance of the High School and schools giving similar instruction by their principals and teachers throughout the country. A representatives of each of such school is urged to write W. C. Huenston, Commissioner, Education of the I. B. P. O.

Seems a sort of jinx is on, but the breaks will come again no doubt. Among our local boys Gans, Thompson and Langford have lost. Wills fights next week at the Olympic against the same Harry Brown who beat Gans, but if he should lose there are still some good boys left. One boy who swears he will hold the ring supremacy in the light-heavy ranks, is Mack House, the California Bear. Mack is the knockout king, and he fights shortly after the Wills-Brown bout so he swears that if Wills strikes out he will be the pinch hitter to bring home the hacon when he fights.

Now Young Harry Wills Do Your Stuff ! matchmaker Joe Levy, who seldom makes a mistake, presents the following menu for his well pleased customer at the lobby of Auditorium, on next Tuesday night. rounds at 160 lbs. Rodolpho Romírez vs Patry McGraw, 4 rounds at 122 lbs. The management of this great sight arena did not dream when they arranged the match of Young Wills and Harry (Kid) Brown, that it would turn out to be the big event it has proven to be. When the match was made nobody knew much about Harry (Kid) Brown, but last Tuesday, the 14th, by beating Gans he put him self on the firing line of the Pacific Coast Brigade. Wills ought to beat him though. Wills is remarkably cool and hite like a lot of trip hammers, and is a splendid ring general. But there is one thing sure, there will be an awful crowd out to see what's what Young Nationalista, meeting Newboy Brown in the other ten round spot will be another great bout. SNYDER FIELD SCENE OF FRAY Pigskin fans in this neck of the woods are eagerly awaiting the starting whistle of the Musketeer-Laddie Xmas battle set for nine o'clock Xmas morning. Both teams are evenly matched and a lively battle is expected. Alvia Parrish is the outstanding back back duel team and Elliott Qualls is also a good ball carrier. The Musketeers are out to avenge the 9 to 6 defeat they received last year and are depending on "ike" Lewi, stellar Lincoln performer, to do the heavy work. Levy, Dade and A. Williams are sure to make things interesting for the steers, Leighton and Osborne, K. Thompson and C. Thompson are great backs and can be counted on to "tit for tat" the Laddies. Joe Guerrero Making Name Of Emsco Famous JOE GUERRERO "The Emseco Boy" Those patrons of the padded lists who were fortunate enough to be out to the Tiger Flowers-Eddie Huffman fight an July 24th were no doubt surprised and deeply interested in the fact that there was a solid bock of over a thousand rooters for Joe Guerero who boxed and won that day against Jackie Sherman. They were all fellow-workers of his from the Emesco Mfg. Co plant, which had closed in order to attend their boy's fight in a body. And such a yell went up from them when his hand was raised. The "Emesco Boy", if he keeps up squat fap shot their good pau name of "Emesco" famous. "The Emesco Boy" is matched to box Bittlebite Kink in the tan cound main event at the Wilmington Bowl, Wednesday, December 22nd. This match is considered a super natural for the Harbor fans.

DUST FROM THE CAMPUSES Newell Eason, who prowls around in the Bruins' Den is establishing quite a reputation as a fistic artist out that way. Barring accident, the "kid" will cinch a berth on the Bruins team. Bill Edwards, feather weight; Al Johnson, lightweight; and Ishmel Flory, middle weight, are all showing great promise.

Mr. Whittaker, besides being a student is a boxer of no mean ability. "The Spirit at Southwestern is the finest that I have ever seen", said Mr. Lloyd Griffith prominent Omega and a leading law student regarding the institution he now attends. This writer has received information that collier Carter of Jefferson High Track Team fame, now a student of the Oregon Agricultural College will arrive in the city next Monday to remain for the Xmas season. The stock of the boys at the Vermont Street Institution is boosted again. Keneth Levy, '30, is fastest sprinter seen out that way. More power to Brown Bruins. We are happy to extend the greetings of the season to our many friends at home and to Students and Athletes the country over. We hope for you a joyous Yuletide and a prosperous and contented New Year. WHITEY BLACK WHITEY BLACK OF EL PASO VERNON ARENA SCENE OF BIG UPSET Surprises and upsets! Baby Joe Gans with a rematch in the offing with Mushy Callahan who has acquired the junior welter weight title recently since Gans beat him, and with a promise of a match with Champion Sammy Mandell, went into the ring Tuesday night. December 14th, with a world of confidence in himself and the confidence of over 12,000 fans who were betting at odds of 5 to 6 that he would beat Harry (Kid) Brown. Brown, who has been trying to get a main bout here for some time since his arrival from the East, was thrown into the gap to sub for Russ Whelan who beat young Jack Thompson a couple of weks ago. Nobody conceded him a chance with Baby Joe but he did the surprising thing of knocking Gans down after a few seconds of fighting in the first round. After the first session it was just an uphill climb for Gans trying to even up matters. Gans took the third, seventh and ninth, and had Brown in a bad way in the fifth. Asked about the fight the next day Gans admitted defeat but said that the lights had blinded him as they came together in the first giving Brown the chance to slip over the punch that downed him and lost him the fight. Charley Long, a good Omaha boy, who was brought here under the Sielski tutelage, had bad luck after beating Billy Vincent in the semi-wind-up, knocking him down for the count and getting the decision, then to lose it by Vincent claiming a foul. Long is a good boxer and a hard puncher and if he really fouled Vincent it was not intentional. Mateo Magdalena beat Joe Cirro; Kid Dougherty knocked out Joe Waterman in the other events and Pruit Steelman beat Ralston Dewesse in the curtain raiser. WHITE KING BALL CLUB MAIN TAINS HIGH STANDARD By : CASEY The White King Baseball Club of the present season is doing its share in maintaining the high standard set in the past years by baseball teams representing the Los Angeles Soap Company in Winter baseball. Doc Crandall's present club is composed of stars from the Pacific Coast THE BASEBALL GAME lyn in the National League, Jersey City in the International and the Washington Americans. And we can forget the one and only "Bears" Reardon who represents Heydlers National League umpiring staff. Quite a cosmopolitan aggregation. Profiting by the experience gained championship series this season, that his mound staff composed of Bandy, Keating, Hasty, Barfoot and Walter Malls will be intact. This years infield shows several new faces mixed with the veterans of last year, namely Ray French and Ray Jacobs, two hard hitting rays." meaning over from last year's outfield. Cd Durst and Pete Scott are now major leaguers and consequently unable to play winter baseball. Wally Best landed the berth of managing the Santa Monica club of the Triple A League. But Babe has plenty of help in Art John, Brick Eidred, Dick Cox and Nick Callop, four of the hardest right handed hitters in baseball. Nick Cullop, who goes to the Washington Americans next season, is second only to Babe Ruth in hitting the ball far and wide and is expected to set some long distance hitting records in the Winter League parks. Art John was one of the best hitters in the Coast Loop last season and goes up again to the Chicago Cubs this year. You all know Dick Cox and I tis a mystery how he was waived out of the National League. Just one of "those things." Figuring from stem to stern the White King club looks a lot stronger than the club of last year but then again, so do all the other clubs in the league. The games, as they have been played so far this year, are faster than the games played in the Coast League and many opinions have been expressed that no better ball is played in the big leagues. An idea of the truth in that statement may be gained from scanning the batting averages of he players who are either just going up or have just come down from the big show. There are not many of them in the charmed three hundred circle. That the baseball fans of Los Angeles and Southern California are showing their appreciation of this fact is shown by the large attendance at both Parks this Winter. And it is due only to this large attendance that the backers of the clubs are able to obtain the talent to play fast ball. It looks like the best year in the history of his winter baseball and may the best club win, as it probably will. INTRODUCING GLADYS MATHONICAN L. a. l. e. e. z and gentlemen, we take great pleasure in presenting to you a well known and popular young lady, very proficient in various lines of athletics, and very apt with the job in writing about the same. Tall, graceful, clear-skinned, bright eyed, she represents a splendid example of what fresh air and athletics do for our girls. She will, each week, keep our Sport Page enveloped, with news of what our local girls are doing in athletics so that the folks "Way down East" and the world over will know that the Sunkist Mds of Los Angeles are occupying bright spots in the annals of athletics. This little lady is a senior of Manual Arts High School, Past President of the very popular Dodecagenians, East Vice President Junior N. A. A. G. P., President of the Girl Reserves, of Y. W. C. A. and several other activities. Folks meet Miss Gladys Mattonican. Now, I hope you are all acquainted with me as I have "loads of fun" and "lots" of news of "girls" sports "in store for you if you will watch this column very carefully." You know it really seems as though these Sunkist Maidens in California are lattening the girls in the East cuttle them in the world of sports, but when West-side girls football team, composed of such well known athletic Misses as Vannie Dgle, Carrith Harvard, Gladys Greenaway, Dorothy Patton, Lorraine Price, May Turner Athea Williams and Elizabeth and Phita Wentbrooks, gets organized and arouses the interest of a similar group of east side girls, that'll be "hot times" in Los Angeles. If these teams and the basket-ball team that the Girl Reserves are organizing don't turn out girls that will want the boys, let alone those athletic players in the East a good race we'll all want to know the reason why. Such lively ones as the Misses Anna Celler, Hazel Earls, Gladys Greenaway, Frances Lewis, Mayhelle, and Marissa Jones, Agnes Johnson, Connie and Lora Phillips, Olivia Redmond, Alice Stevenson, Velma White, constitute the membership of the G. Basket Ball team. These girls really mean to put on some clever exections of basket ball. They erase competition (wake up there you girls in the club). It has already been observed that some of the berries grow in frequent mornings at High School. School teams suit up on Sunday morning bright and sunny.

Temple [Staff member White Memorial Hospital, Attending Staff Member Maternity Division City Health Department.] NOTE—Address all communications concerning this Department to Dr. Ruth Temple, 2556 So. Western Avenue, Phones UUiversity 1255; VAndike 1221; EMpire 9981. I wish to apologize to my readers for missing the column for the past two weeks, but new babies and other professional duties, which could not wait, left me no time in which to prepare the talks for you. I do sincerely appreciate the way in which the women are taking hold of the truths published herein from week to week and I plan to have an article for you each time from now on, without fail, even the new babies do crowd in upon me. My part as a physician would not be done faithfully unless I devoted at least some time to the education of my readers to a better understanding of hospitals and their place in the lives of mankind. First I should like to say that I have not one penny invested in any hospital in any place in the world. Therefore all that I shall say is with an effort to impart to my readers the truth concerning hospitals as I have found it during my eight years as a practicing physician and my one and a half years as a student—almost ten years of experience in all, in the larger and smaller hospitals of the City of Los Angeles. During that time I have definitely learned a few facts which it is well for my readers to consider. 1. First I learned that the more intelligent and better educated a person was, the easier it was to persuade them to go to the hospital. The better class of people always appreciate hospitals and hospital service more than a less enlightened class. Wealthy women practically always have their babies in the hospital. They have intelligence enough to believe in Safety First. They know that the hospital is a safer place in which to lie sick than the home. Therefore they always choose the hospital. 2. Next I learned that there is very little or no money in the operation of a hospital unless, only very wealthy patients are cared for. All hospitals for the poor or for the middle class of patients, either are run at a loss, or else just barely break even. Every month the White Memorial Hospital, the they charge as high as $42.00 a week for a few months, the hospital is run always at a loss. The same is true of all hospitals operated for the middle class of people. Nurse, food and medicine costs as much that nothing is left for profit. 3. Third I learned that colored people are densely afraid of a colored hospital. It does not matter how good that hospital is, if they only bear of any uncle dying in the places that take up a 'haw' and a cry, and knots and knots until they shatter snort it down! It is hard, very hard for any colored institution to make uncle's own people are wealthy and united animal it nor of any other hospital in the world. People die, hundred of them at every hospital in Los Angeles. The Dumbar Hospital has as clean a record and as few deaths as any any fewer deaths than some other hospitals and yet our poor people who do have even the remotest idea as to the actual facts knock and knock; and knock; simply because the hospital is black and because one of the signs as it is. If you do live near the Dumbar Hospital and chat to see a dead body removed, just remember that one or even more dead, may be at that every hour are being removed removed from some other hospital! which you think is in your pocket because it is white, because you don't know anything about how many patients die there each month. We talk about white prejudice, but dear friends, a terrible lot of prejudice against black enterprises lives and dwells in black hearts, and we must overcome it and give our own a fair chance. Learn more about other hospitals, how much they charge, how many persons die in them each month, what kind of service you get from the nurses and doctors in them and you will think far more of our own coloured hospital. Do you know that they charge less at the Dunbarn Hospital than at any other hospital in town unless that hospital is a semi charity or entirely charity hospital? Let us love our own better, patronize our own more, whether it be hospital, grocery store, news paper or boot black stand. Let us help boost our own. DR. H. C.

Upton DECEMBER LOS ANGELES MAIDS ANNIVERSARY Time flys like specks of dust in the wind, and before we know it another year slips around. This month the maids of the Los Angeles district have the honor of being two years old. Much has happened since the first Los Angeles Limited train to Chicago rolled out of the S. P. depot with a Los Angeles Maid in charge. I have no doubt that it will bring a laugh to many of the two year olders when they look back upon their first trip across the continent. Remarks as follows were common to the much bored porters who had been left rulers supreme for so many years without the feminine sex to bother them. What time do we go to San Bernardino, because they never did call that station right, and Porter! must I lock up at this station and that station, and how long do we stop there, and will you show it to one on my table, and do I sleep in the drawing room, and I just took a bundle of towels out of the last car, they were all out in yours and Oh! I just had a manicure; and will you make a room in your locker for my clothes and they brought enough along with them to make a trip to Europe: I lost my keys. How do you make on this old time table? This uniform is too big for me and I am going to change it, and when do we EAT, I'm starved! Poor things! Many a green girl slept by their coffee and rolls in the morning, and the hard boiled porters were mostly in fault because they would not wake them up. But, it's different now since the porters have at last arrived at the conclusion that the maids are here to stay, and we see a closer relationship existing between the two exponents of Pullman service, co-operating together as one is gradually bringing a higher standard of service to the Pullman patrons. But stop. Let's see who the first maids were out of Los Angeles, and how many of them are still with us. There were, naming them as they rank in seniority: Tennie Upton, Mabel Ruffin, Clara B. Wells, Alice E. Honey, Alfie Matthews, Eudora B. Jasper, Hazel 'Robinson, Lillianimore, Ginny Greer, Hazel Lewis, Magnolia C. Dickens, Sadie M. Reed, Blanche Mattison, Marie Scott, Mamie Bradshaw and Elanche Hall. Out of this number of maids there are still fourteen left who started two years ago this month. Those who have left the service are Clara B. Wells and Sadie Reed, both of whom obtained a sweet papa and garg up the road for family duties. In this length of time the maids have been made a present of another Limited train which they operate as far as Ogden, Utah. And summing it up all in Los Angeles is very proud of her maids and is proud of the best in the Pullman patrons. I wouldn't be surprised some of these Golden State and Santa Fe maids might bawl me out about this, but it will not be the first time I have been bawled out by a maid, because I happen to have one in my own immediate family who manages to keep me well tuned up as far as bawling outs are concerned, so girls, send in your protests and I will take them with a smile. My shoulders are broad and my head is hard, and I am a glutton for punishment. Los Angeles maids are the best in the country. During this, the Maids' Anniversary, we all extend our sympathy to Maid Elha Greer, who is off for ninety days on account of her health, and wish her a very happy Christmas and a happy New Year. The Clatterer wishes also to extend the hohoy greetings to the new maids who have joined the ranks in the past year and takes this means in extending to them the privilege of using this column for their social notes and railroad news. I thank you! PILLOW SLIPS Extra cars seem to be getting all the good loads to San Diego and the regular men are singing the blues. Look who's here! The honorable Mr. J. S. Hankins comes to life with a bouncing baby. Can you beat it? Now we won't be able to get along with him. It has even been rumored already that he has been crowing up and down Central about being a papa. Mother and baby are doing nicely from the Just reports. So we will now put kid Hankins in a class with E. L. Arnad and J. Worthen. Pass the cigars and we will all have a smoke. F. Fauver will and apartment hunting a much easier job without the use of a candle. Wanted to Know—What the U. P. waiters are substituting for money these days. Frank James (Tiger Flowers) has been entrained upon the roster of dinner No. 2. We are glad to see you with such a congenial crew. A good chance to talk prize fighting. Haywood Perry, was very recently styled the I. O. U. is with the S. P. now. If you do not want to see it in The Clatterer, don't let Joe see it. It's every tub from now on, so watch your step. The U. R. reporter is on your trail. SOUTHERN PACIFIC Back to life again, and here it is: Big Travelling Chef Tom Harrison has been very busy between instructing 1234 The Hon. P. D. Buck and putting tab service on the Owl at $1.50 per. Mr. Buck and Big Tom made a big hit with the passengers. Blondie Henderson, the famous head waiter on the "Owl" has been transferred to The Golden State, the excess train. Mr. Sidney Addelson has taken Blondie's place on the "Owl." The "Owl's" tab service is very well taken. All passengers get their money's worth. The Golden State has a head waiter on every car whose duty is to serve all out of car service. They are red hot in their new Palm Beach suits. The S. P. have now adopted the system of putting crews on light trains that are best suited to light work. The inspectors are singing the blues since the new change in schedules, because they can not go out and get back the same day unless they go on the Coast Line or over to Colton. Head Waiter Max Hall spent Saturday in Los Angeles looking over the football game. Waiter Fred Thornton has his hands full trying to keep the boys in line. He just recently had the misfortune of losing his old standby, Hard Boiled Smith, who was killed in a train accident. All crews had a turkey for Thanksgiving, and Tom Harrison can rest in peace. Is that natural gas that Mr. T. A. Sims has or just a habit? Our next candidate for the Senate will be Mr. A. L. Norwood of the Owl. The porters who get up in a service meeting and hold the floor should have a taxi cab meter hung on to them. C. W. Murdock brought out some good points in last Friday's meeting. But there is no hope for Greenfield. He's in the right church but the wrong pew. T. D. Sparks did not last as long on the "owl" as we thought he would. We take, it all back. Porter S. B. Evans was seen in his usual place, the S. P. Depot, with a new gray suit on. What's going to happen? A. Noel has been putting in some time at the Santa Fe for a change. Maid Blanche Hall had a very narrow escape from serious injury at Bullock's Department Store when she got her hand jammed in an elevator door. Her little girl who, with her at the time, fell through the elevator shaft. Both are doing nicely. Maid Tennie Upton, who was injured in a Yellow Taxi cab, is now up and around, and says if you have to be hurt let the Yellow do it. A most satisfactory settlement was made. J. H. Holden was signed out on an extra car to San Diego last week which was supposed to go dead head. However, the train pulled out at midnight and left Mr. Holden in the dead head. He woke up next morning in his seven gallon gat at the Santa depot. He could have just as well been home in bed. UNION PACIFIC LINES Pooling from tips to dormitory service is the very latest system injected into the lives of some U. P. waiters. What has become of Chas. McKinney? He's got the boys all guessing. There is a rumor that diner No. 304 will be operated via Pasadena. Just when this service will be inaugurated we are unable to say but refer you to the Sheik of that car. The Baker Heater committee continues to function, but how was the crew cut without an advance notice from this honorable body? La Verne Floyd Successful In Honolulu La Verne Floyd, popular young pianist of Los Angeles, is meeting with excellent success in the Hawaiian Islands. He is musical d'actor for the Old Kentucky Minstrels; an organization that is touring the Islands and drawing crowds at every performance. Mr. Floyd's entire musical training was received in Los Angeles under the guidance of John A. Gray. Although his contract was originally for eight weeks, his excellent work and musicianship have lengthened his stay indefinitely.

Placed in "A" Class in Matter of Legal Safeguards and Regulations Protecting Investors; Nation Wide Survey Made (From L. A. Evening Express) California building and loan associations, in the matter of legal safe guards and rigid operating rules designed to protect their investors, rank among the leading associations in the United States. In a rating table of the building and loan associations in this nation, compiled by William Stephen Marlowe, and published in the October 9 issue of the Magazine of Wall Street, California is given an "A" rank, the highest that can be obtained. The building and loan associations are subject to the laws and regulations of 48 commonwealths. These laws and regulations are rated in Marlowe's analysis for the first time. He summarizes not only the legal safeguards, but also sets forth the essential facts about the actual operation of these associations in each state. California gained the highest rating, an "A," due to the following safeguards and restrictions imposed upon associations in this state: First mortgage on real estate or deed of trust with note. Annual examination and reports required. Supervision includes compulsory uniform accounting. By-laws require state sanction. Directors are shareholders and are liable; elect officers. All plans legal. Preferred shares permitted. Maximum fees $1.00 per share. Loans to non-members. Officers and directors cannot borrow. Contingent reserve or guarantee fund required. No real estate deals; interest rate limited to 12 per cent. No specific limits on borrowing. Liberty Only Negro Association Re- dividing Such High Rating ceiving Such High Rating The Los Angeles negro can look with pride at the fact that an institution fostered and developed by him, with local talent and finance, is the only race institution in the entire country to come under the above high rating. The timely organization of the Liberty together with the consistent support of our groups, has placed the Liberty in an enviable position among race business organizations. Undoubtedly the Building and Loan Association as a financial institution is coming into its own. In a recent address Secretary of Commerce Hoover said: "I know of no institution or organization more worthy of support and confidence than a Building and Loan Association." Thus it may be seen that statesmen, financiers and working men, all turn to the Building and Loan Association as the logical institution for the development of community thrift and prosperity. All our lives we. as a rase, have believed that what was good for the other fellow, was good for us also, and this spirit has been the watchword of our progress. We know the worth of the Building and Loan Association, so we built one for our phenomenal growth in membership and finances have justified our judgment and industry. From an unknown few, the Liberty has advanced to a lusty, industrious two thousand members; from an ineffectual $10,000.00, it has advanced in assets to beyond the $152,000.00 mark; from an organization with only hope and a great ambition to serve, it has progressed to such an extent that it has been able to advance over $136,000.00 to members of our race to secure homes for themselves on a reasonable and well drawn plan of monthly payments with a minimum risk of losing those homes. Thus we have helped during the past years to stabilize negro property values in negro neighborhoods; we have forced better conditions for borrowing money in all parts of the city for our people; we have brought together in a financial institution of first class rating and indisputable worth, a part of the financial resources of our people for their own use and benefit. The work of the Liberty Building and Loan Association and the many benefits which it will ultimately give to this community, has only just begun. Each day sees a gradual increase in the resources at our command; every loan and every account makes a hundred new friends and thousand more well-wishers because of the service which we give and the urgent need which we fill. Home ownership is one of the basic charms of Los Angeles, her greatest claim to prosperity and achievement and this association has set for its purpose the determination to keep the negro population of this city on a par with the white in the percentage of homes owned. OUR PEOPLE WON'T EAT AT ANY OLD PLACE When it comes to meals as in our home life, any old thing at any old place won't do for our people any more. Neither do they patronize colored eating houses for so-called race pride when some other race will offer them food at more reasonable rates with better service and cleaner surroundings. So they look for the best. If you happen to be near 83rd and Central to transfer or on other business or even if it is out of your way, just take a look in the newly opened Starling Cafe at 83rd and South Central. Mr. Carroll, the proprietress, has the cleanest, coolest place seen in many moons and turns out real honest to goodness home cooking with good rice and French pastry. Try her cooking once and you will come a Insurance is a device for repairing a serious injury, or a means of indemnification of a financial loss. A device for repairing the loss of a ship, we call it marine insurance; if it is to repair a loss resulting from destruction of a building or automobile by fire, we call it fire insurance; if it is a loss resulting to a wage earner from loss of time through sickness or by accident, we call it health and accident insurance; if it is a loss resulting from the death of the bread winner, or wage earner, we call it Life Insurance. The whole idea of insurance is to REPAIR LOSSES. One may ask how are losses determined? For the value of the thing insured, of course. If one has a house it has a definite value. A ship would have a definite fixed value. The amount of insurance obtainable is determined by this value. So with a wage earner. The amount of Health and Accident Insurance obable is measured by the value of that wage earner's time. Turning from this, one may ask has a life a value, and if so, how is this value determined? We answer, yes. During the World War the government set an arbitrary amount of $10,000.00 on each soldier, which probably indicated the "value" of a soldier. In civil life there may be different methods of arriving at the probable value of lives of different people, depending upon their education; that is, some authorities have estimated the value of a man's life finishing from a college or university, at from $40,000.00 to $75,000.00. Another way of determination of a human value would be to take into consideration his life expectancy. To illustrate: Suppose a man at the age of 35 earns $1,000.00 a year. From the American Experience Table of Mortality, the average expectancy of a life at this age is 31 years; that is, he would have a chance to live that long and probably would, provided that he did not meet an untimely death through accident or disease. If he was a laborer and depended entirely upon his job for a support and earned $1,000.00 a year and he did live 31 years, he would have a value of $31,000.00. His value being determined, he would immediately set about to determine what amount of loss would be suffered by his demise and proceed to insure in such adequate sum. The great trouble with most people, however, is that they either place TOO LOW an estimate on their own lives, or they do not make any estimate at all. Without thinking, many a man who is making $1,500.00 a year insures his life for $2,000.00 and boasts of being heavily insured. As a matter of fact he should carry $20,000.00, and which he then paid, and placed on interest per cent by his widow would earn $200.00 or $8 per cent of amount he earned during his lifetime. This would be what we call adequate insurance. But suppose for any reason a salaried man of $1,500.00 a year finds it impossible to pay for $20,000.00 worth of insurance, what is the next best thing to do? To illustrate, we will take an example of a $1,500.00 a year salary man who has a wife and two children and who has a mortgage of $1,000.00 on his home, and $1,000.00 on a new automobile. This means that in event of immediate death of the bread winner, the sum of the two items, or $5,000.00 will in time fall one, and if not paid, the down payments made on home and automobile will be lost. Now, in order to protect these first payments and to secure the home and automobile delivered clear to the wife and children, he will have to carry enough insurance to cover the entire amount of $5,000.00. In addition to this, however, it will take $1,000.00 for the doctor and undertaker. This wowld bring total amount to $6,000.00, but a man would not want to leave his widow and his children with no funds to take care of immediate necessities, so he adds at least $2,000.00 to his insurance policy for his widow's living expenses for at least two years, and another $2,000.00 to apply on the education of his children, making a total sum of $10,000.00 worth of insurance, the LEAST amount he should think of carrying. He should not carry it all in the same company. He should carry a part in one company, a part in another and still another part in another. In addition to life insurance, all bread winners should carry accident and health insurance to insure his salary as more people are kept from work by accidental injury than are able through lack of employment and for the further reason that "The chance that a person will meet with some disabling injury within a year is about ten times greater than the chance of death from any and all causes during the same period."

The tax rate in the county for 1925-6 was $2.18 which covers great improvements. There are over 1,300 miles of paved roads in the county, and in the past ten years it has spent $24,000,000 on highways. Contracts were let in 1924 for $15,000,000 worth of road-building in Southern Californi'a and more than 500 miles will be added by this expenditure. The city of Los Angeles plans to pave 150 additional miles of new streets at a cost of $1,500,000 and made many other street improvements. In 1924 the Second street tunnel costing $4,000,000 was completed. The million dollar Mulholland Drive was fin shed, a wide boulevard 25 miles long on the crest of the Santa Monica mountains from the city to Calabasas near the sea, with a glorious panoramic view. THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES Los Angeles is notable among cities of the world for its beauty, its magical growth in population and commerce, its happy, energetic people and their vision in planning for its future. It is one of the most typically American communities in the land today. Its residents come from the best elements in various sections. Many have had success elsewhere. All bring judgment gained in past experiences. They represent the Main Streets of the United States.

It has begun again in 1926 with zeal to meet necessities. Many of the downtown buildings erected are notably handsome and artistic. The new churches, theatres, and clubs are distinguished for their architecture. Los Angeles homes are noted for their smartness and elegance.

One could easily write a book about Los Angeles. This is but a brief chapter. Further information, detailed, accurate and interesting, may be obtained by addressing the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and requesting specific data. In 1781, twelve years after Padre Junipero Serra founded the Mission San Gabriel Archangel in the San Gabriel Valley near, by 141 colonists from Mexico settled here and named the village La Ciudad de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles, the City of Our Lady the Queen of The Angel's. Half a century later there were but 770 inhabitants. At the end of 1926 there were 1,265,519 within the city limits. Los Angeles had grown from a pretty pueblo to a great city. Its metropolitan area is 418.86 square miles. Its commanding position at one of the world's crossroads points, is chiefly responsible for the city's swift development as a commercial center. Great have been the efforts of men here, but Nature did most in the beginning. Foreign trade through the harbor was about doubled last year. Domestic commerce increased with similar rapidity. People-poured in at the rate of ten thousand a month. More than ever must be done to meet the demands made by these sudden gains in business opportunities and population. What has been lately accomplished is tersely set forth hereafter. BUILDING Last year 43,969 building permits were issued, aggregating $152,646, 436 in value. They included: 142 industrial buildings and additions, 72 LOS ANGELES COUNTY SOIL FACTS CIVIC CENTER PLAN THE CATTLE MARKET of the city and county. The historic old Plaza and Plaza church will become part of the prodigious new project. An old section of the city will be rejuvenated and glorified. The down-town trac_ c congestion will be greatly lessened by fittin this big center scheme into the colossal Major Traffic Plan which involves a $100,-000,000 expenditure and covers the entire city area of 418.86 square miles. t COUNTY SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES COUNTY SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES The educational advantages of Los Angeles County are an unfailing source of satisfaction and justifiable pride to residents. Visitors in city and town are interested and pleased to note the excellence of the public school system and the completeness of modern equipment. The schools, colleges and universities, public and private, throughout Southern California, have kept pace with the great advances made in population and commerce. Distinguished educators and from afar have often investigated the public school methods here and uniquely declared them to be of the highest type in America. The enrollment in the county public schools for the school year ending June, 1925, was 423,175, divided in 170 districts, of wh ch 64 per cent are within the city area. Funds from a bond issue of $33,640,000 voted by the city ni June, 1924, are being spent on 110 new primary school buildings of 8 to 30 rooms each; and 25 of these are on new sites. There are 22 high schools and 16 more being built. Ground has been bought for 124 more primary schools on forty new sites to AERIAL VIEW OF LOS ANGELES be added to those nw in use. Many buildings are benign provided to increase the capacity of existing elementary schools. Few other cities, if any, have ever considered an expansion of such magnitude in schools. for the reason thatno large city has ever grown so rapidly as has Los Angeles. Most of the schools are spacious and splendid. Our-of-door exercises are par to the all-year curriculum and classroom windows are opened wide much of the time. The health of tupilms is notably good. The University of California, Southern Campus, located in Los Angeles, has 6,539 students and is growing so fast that the regents obtained early in 1925, a new and larger site. The future home, also within the corporate limits of Los Angeles city, consists of 375 acres between the Beverly Hills district and Santa Monica, immediately adjoining Westwood. Here superbly located on rolling hills three miles from the ocean, and commanding a splendid view of the Pacific, Catalina Island and adjacent inland territory, the fine new university buildings will rise. Ninety acres of level ground will be used as a campus and athletic field. It is realized that in a few years, the branch will have an enrollment of ten thousand and an annual budget of $2,000,000. The present site is a handsome one on Vermont Avenue. The attractive brick buildings covered with ivy, were once occupied by the State Normal School and later assigned to the university branch by the State of California a. The Normal School courses are now being given at the Southern Campus of the University. The original campus at Berkeley, main part of the university, is famed for its beauty and situation. The future home of the branch promises to be admirable. Its courses and standards are equal in all respects to the great parent institution. The University of Southern California, an endowed institution of high standing, is located on ample grounds near the downtown section of Los Angeles. There are 9,989 students in its 8 colleges of law, liberal arts, music, commerce, theology, dentistry and pharmacy and the graduate school. It, too, is seeking a vast campus to provide for expansion. Occidental College at Eagle Rock A HERD OF DAIRY CATTLE Pomona College at Claremont, Whitier College at Whittier and the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, are excellent in every respect. They, too, draw students from all parts of the United States because of their thorough courses of study and fine faculties and their location in the favored southland. Private schools of national fame are numerous in Los Angeles County. LOS ANGELES HARBOR Cabrillo cruised the California coast in 1542 and may have seen the tiny dent where Los Angeles Harbor is today. Others followed: Vizcaino, Serra in 1769, Crespi, Gomez, Gaspar de Portola. The fascinating Spanish colonial period came. A little trade sprang up between this coast and Mexico, South America and Spain. Ships lay offshore and loaded from rowboats. A tiny tug arrived in harbor in 1861, the schooner Lew Perry appeared, and thug towed her across the bar! She seems to have been the first vessel to enter. Almost a half century later, in 1910, a city 20 miles inland, extended a friendly arm of land to the sea, shook hands with Wilmington and San Pedro towns, and joined them in digging the dent into a real seaport. Americans can justly feel pride in what their youngest large city has done on the western frontier. Magical speed in harbor making has been maintained. A tremendously important new trade has been brought to the shores of the United States. The wharves of the port made from a dent, handled 20,310,743 tons of freight carried by 6,155 ships, in the last calendar year. This freight had a value of $727,853,568. The only American port which had a greater ocean tonnage was New York City. It was first, Los Angeles second in total tonnage. Los Angeles was first intercoastal tonnage, however, and exceeded New York in this trac.-c. Los Angeles exports to foreign countries had a value of $6,774,250 in the year ending June 30, 1919. Five years later, in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924, they were $44,796,273. They grew steadily in the next six months, and for the calendar year 1925 were $71,740,268. Los Angeles' commerce is notably cosmopolitan. Shipments of all sorts parts of the world. There are 145 of goods were made to countries in al Christmas Edition, 1926 GES THE WORLD steamship companies now calling regularly at Los Angeles, with 179 services or lines. Three of these are unique in marine history, because they encircle the world on a schedule. They have 24 ships visiting 30 ports. No other American port is visited by all three of these round-the-world lines. The extraordinary development of Los Angeles Harbor's world trade has interested the maritime nations of the earth and all who follow the sea for a living. This admirable advance is due, primarily, to the city's superb location on one of the cross roads points of the globe, with a magnificent tributary back country; and secondarily, to the co-operation and energy of Southern California communities. It belongs to all of them. The passenger traffic of the port is increasing swiftly also and in 1925, amounted to approximately 987,090. Los Angeles exported 15,707,120 tons of oil in 1925 and is the greatest of oil ports. Its petroleum products go all over the world. It is estimated that every fourth automobile in England runs on Los Angeles gasoline. China is the greatest market for Los Angeles kerosene, and Chile for fuel oil; while Los Angeles crude oil runs refineries in Japan and Argentina. It heads the list of lumber importing centers, with a record of 1,183-526,000 board feet received last year. This is accounted for by the tremendous building program in Southern California. This lumber includes not only redwood and Douglas fir and other woods from the northwest, but also hardwoods from the Philippines and Central America. Its fishing fleet numbered approximately 800 boats in 1925. The wholesale value of last year's catch was $6,752,592 based upon $0.025 per pound. The sardines caught weighed 165,597,-078 pounds. Eighteen canneries are busy now, exporting sardines to Europe, the Orient and South America. Last calendar year 31,514,000 pounds of canned sardines were exported from Los Angeles or about 50% of all sardines shipped out of the United States. The tuna industry is leaping ahead, as the flavor of this delicious fish becomes more widely known. The Southern California fishing fleet last year caught 270,103,704 pounds of fish on nearby banks off the California and Mex can coasts. The total commerce of last year, 20,310,743 tons, with a value of $760,685,682, will be surpassed year by year, as th trade grows heavier in volume and wider in territory tapped.

Urban League, announced that the management of the Safeway Stores, a corporation controlling a chain of 1000 grocery stores in western communities, had been induced to place a given number of negro clerks in stores where they will have an opportunity to prove their ability as salesmen. The club women were appealed to by the speaker to learn the location of the stores where race women are employed and give them some business and encouragement. It was further discussed in an interview with Mr. Edward Dale, Vice-President of the Safety Stores Corporation and the Superintendent of the personnel department that the negroes employed as clerks will be given every opportunity to advance to store manager, district superintendent and any higher position for which they prove capable of filling. Hitherto, a few negroes have only been employed by this firm as porters. A few months ago, through the efforts of the local Urban League, the Yellow Taxi Cib Company engaged a number of negro men to serve as supervisors of taxi stands.

As we strive each year to improve upon the preceding one, this year is no exception to the rule. We appreciate to the utmost the recognition given to this publication from all classes of our citizenship and from our County and City Government. We take the same as wholly impersonal but that it has been given in reward for years of constant effort and devotion for a cause. We point with pride to the fact that every line you read in this paper, every advertisement which meets you vision, all artistic arrangements of matter (if there be any), is the product of our own plant and the genius of our devoted force of skilled mechanics and the front office of this institution for this we have faith that our white friends are much pleased and our own group gratified indeed. With these thoughts out standing in our minds we come to you with our entire staff, wishing for you a Merry Christmas indeed. TOO BUSY FOR SMALL STUFF We have no time to hold malice against anybody, much less the Rev. Wm. A. Venerable who complains to the contrary. We are entirely too busy trying to assist in doing the big things, which will be helpful to all. THE BRAZEN SENATOR HEFLIN Poor old Senator Heflin from Alabama, holding a seat in the United States Senate by fraud and intimidation, gained by the shedding of the blood of American citizens, and raping of their constitutional rights, dares to stand in his place on the floor of the Senate and excoriate twelve men, good and true, who rendered their verdict in the Doheny and Fall case. It is a blat upon the escutcheon of the Senate itself for the ravings of this blatant demagogue. E. L. Doheny is as tar above this species of animal as the Heavens are from the earth. He would sacrifice, willingly, his life before he would stoop to the cowardly act of brow beating any man simply because he could. We hold no brief for Mr. Doheny, in fact we have never met him, but we know that he is all man and will go his full length for a friend; and we have not the slightest doubt that his act to Mr. Fall was but in line with his reputed generosity to help a friend. As we write these lines we have in mind his generous act in assisting a group of our people who had been struggling under a great burden to save a ranch property in Mexico. They appealed to Mr. Doheny and in his spirit of goodness he advanced them the necessary $23,000, and their holdings were saved. Mr. Doheny simply took their note. Surely these black boys could not help him to procure government or any other kind of leases. It was the act of a real man. HERE IS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT! Twenty-five of the 58 counties in California increased their tax rate in 1926. 17 stayed the same as in 1925, and 16 lowered their rate. The county indebtedness for the 58 counties is $135,013,859, an increase of $6,975,431 over 1925. The number of acres of land assessed this year totals 51,571,162, a gain of 476,011 acres. These figures closely approximate conditions in many other states. In a growing state, it is natural that county expenses increase. But, if the state is growing, it is just as natural that tax income from newly assessed property and from increased assessments on old property which has grown in value, should be larger. As business grows, its cost of production, management and administration generally decreases, barring some unusual condition. The reverse seems to be the case as government increases, barring the same unusual conditions that affect business. If the people constantly demand more at the hands of government than it can supply with a normal increase in tax revenues, they must expect constantly increasing tax bills. But under normal conditions, it would seem as if business administration of governmental affairs could so arrange its budgets that the normal increase in tax receipts would take care of the normal growth of governmental activities. Of course, if government goes into various lines of business which are entirely foreign to the functions of government, it is but natural that the people should experience abnormal increases in tax rates. ENCOURAGE HONESTY BY REMOVING TEMPTATIONS The National Credit Association plans a $1,750,000 fund to execute commercial crooks—fraudulent bankruptcies, inside businesses, arson for insurance, and similar business crimes. Estimates vary all the way from $500,000,000 to two billion dollars every year through such frauds. And yet the nation is essentially honest. Statistics show that of the millions of auto sales on deferred payments, only 163 of one per cent fall after having paid one-third down on a 12-month contract. The percentage of loss increases rapidly with the extension of time and the smallness of the down pay Credit is the foundation of American business; the country would starve to death overnight, on a strict cash basis, even though America has more money per capita than any other nation on earth. The maintenance of credit, which is bankable honesty, is imperative, but the man who invades sales that tempt repudiation, is as potent a criminal as the thief himself. Start-in to punish offenders and to oeducate tyros or excitable sellers who d not yet realize their co-responsibility; the Credit Association can perform a splendid national service. "Lead us not into temptation" is no meaningless phrase; it is profound philosophy for religion and business. LET IN THE SUNSHINE Gas for fuel is of especial value in cities in that it makes for a smokeless and therefore a sunshine, healthful city. The cost of city illness, of grime, of slackened trade because of smoke-induced fog and gloom is a terrible indictment of American sense. Gas fuel eliminates most of this waste, and lets in the health-giving, heat-making sunshine. That is one reason for the extraordinary spread of gas as fuel. "Cook with gas" is no mere fanciful sales slogan; it is a life-saver like "Safety First". COMMENTS By W. J. Wheaton press is a power to be reckoned with. It is guided by the intelligent brain of the New Negro. It moulds the opinion of the Race. Do you wonder that your enemies will seek to destroy the usefulness of your only weapon of defense? We agree with the North Carolina Bishop who said that religion should have no place in the politics of the nation. That is, so far as eligibility to hold high office is concerned. After lamenting the spread of Ku Klux ideals among the evangelical churches he says that, "it is better far to support a Catholic of the Governor Smith type, a Democrat, than some of the Protestants who have Ku Klux sympathies if not direct members." Well, we can only add that should the issue come up between two such as Al Smith and Jim Watson it would be no guess where the majority of the Race vote would go. But there will be no issue of the kind. Calvin Coolidge will be the next nominee of the Republican party and succeed HIMSELF. The solons are massing their forces for the march on Sacramento when battle of legislative wit begins January 3rd, '27, after 30 days of preparing their ammunition and armistice will be depleted through the mouth of February and hostilities begin again in March, which will be a battle to the finish. The only prayer of the plain citizen is, that fewer freak laws will be foiled on them and, if possible, some of the rank ones repealed. We make some of the rank ones repealed. John S. Nelson, will keep an eye open for any legislation which may prove inimical so the welfare of the Race. L. A. High School Notes Misa Edith Hayner is making quite a name for herself by writing for the Spanish paper edited at L. A. High. Have you seen the lamps of all lamps made by Miss Belva Brooks? ```markdown ``` LET IN THE SUNSHINE COMMENTS By W. J. Wheaton A widely read editorial writer, one whose coumn is read by miflons, commenting on the intention of Japan sending missionaries to the Occident to teach the beauties of Buddhist religion, writes this. "The noble young Prince Gautama wouldn't know his Buddhist religion today, so many changes. The same of the founder of Christianity. He talked of giving to the poor, protecting women and children, but never mentioned building fifteen million dollar cathedrals. We worry little about women — haven't even passed a law to stop child labor. But we do build fifteen million dollar cathedrals." True; we Race folks haven't worked up to the fifteen million dollar round, yet counting the financial standing, as a race we are aptly aping the people who do. The fifteen million dollar cathedral nor the five hundred thousand dollar church edifice are no more than so many piles of brick and mortar unless the spirit of Christ abides therein. Japan has taught the Western world many things, both in art and spiritual culture. If there is any possibility of her teaching, through the Buddhist religion, a higher concept of civilization we will welcome the advent, and please send us your best representatives as we have a special field for them. Send as your very best one for special work at Alklin, South Carolina. Have you read how the Jew merchants by heritidity—are seeing the great opportunity offered by agriculture and buying up available land? They are going in for truck gardening. Seeing that the trend of the population is bound for the more congested districts he is taking advantage of the hegira and moving to the suburbs near the towns and cities. It is a well known fact that the population must have food, an well as clothing, and food is the most essential. We are still urging Mr. Negro farmer, with intelligence and money to come to California. This State not only feeds its and the surrounding populations, but it feeds the WORLD Athletics, among our boys and girls, especially the strenuous out-door kind, should receive th encouragement of all who have their welfare at heart "A clean mind in a clean body." Give them plenty of tennis, basketball, football and out-door hiking, and they will have worked off the surplus energy of youth which at this time finds its outlet on the ballroom floor. A center for the community, properly supervised, is an asset. The city of San Francisco realizes the value of healthful recreation and spends annually, hundreds of thousands of dollars for the building and maintenance of play grounds properly supervised AND THEY ARE FREE TO ALL. It will be a serious blow to the Press, particularly that of the Negro, should the Appalate Court affirm the decision of the lower court in its verdict given in the Warley-Cole, Libel case. According to the evidence there was no personal attack which would prejudge, or cause one to believe that there was a prejudgment of the case, rather, it was a criticism of the "justice" which had been meted out in preceding cases where the alleged culprits were of different race connection. We have often wondered if the Negro Press was fully awake to the great issue confronting it. Issues which have a direct bearing on the future power and usefulness of the Race papers. To deny the right of judges to give fragrant decisions, savoring of racial prejudice, without the power to criticize; the value of the Race papers will be nullified. FOUR—CALIF EAGLE ..... Every Negro paper in the United States of America should get behind the N.A.A.C.P. in its fight to secure a decision favorable for the defendants. Little or big, weekly or weekly, all should contribute in assisting the Association in the fight to keep unmussled the only fighting weapon of the Race. Every man and woman of the Fourth Estate should contribute his or her mite. Our Negro papers used to be looked upon as the media through which our social activities were made public. Now were the folk totals on our audience for public matters but not on our media. THE HOTEL THE MUSEUM F.

Battleships, light eru'sers, destroyers and sub- marines, with’ attendant craft, aggre- xating more than half the entire navy. make headquarters here. The com- plete American fleet, including ships from the Atlantic side of the conti- nent, assembled at Los Angeles in the Spring of 1925 and took part in the most extensive of naval operations. ‘The opening of the Panama Canal was a great help to Los Angeles. It enabled local manufacturers and ship- pers in general to compete directly with imddle western and eastern con- cerns, The short cut via canal and low ocean freight rates brought Los Angeles close to communities which formerly had been considered outside her territory. It was an economic adl- vance of value to the nation. Los Angeles is the cntef terminus ef the Panama Canal, the outstanding Pacific port near the end of the great waterway, and the principal port of all ports in handling canal commerce, The United States Shipping Board statistics show that in 1923 a total of 12,201,232 tons of intercoastal_com- merce passed through the canal, and of this total 8,574,657 tons originated at or was destined for Los Angeles, more than 70 per cent. The remain- sler was divided amnog other Pacific ports. ;During nine months ending January, 1924, 4,052 vessels went through’ the canal and 1.476 of these were oil tankers from Los Angeles, which paid $6,750,799.10 in tolls, or over 36 per cent of the total revenue, 318.547,398.31, of the great canal. CUSTOM COLLECTIONS Custom receipts at Los Angeles Harbor mount higher ani higher. The United States government figures for the Port of Los Angeles speak elo- suently: 119) sseeeze $384,857.85 $900) 2 S89 /489.63, Neh ane 1.298,878.60 a 2.152'803.87 1923 TTT BISTLRO8.55 ten 4.254,214.59 ion... 4260°485.88 ‘The net tonnage of ships which called at the harbo in L919 was 1,822.- v2, cnd in 1925 it was 16,449,95s tons. Los Angeles shipments to Hawaii averaged $300,000 a month in the pre- ceding year and for the last fiscal year have been in excess of $750,000 month- ly. Trade with the superb southern isiands is ever increasing and con- templation of their future is inspir- ing. Los Angeles put on her sea boots and made her longest marine stride when a committee was formed by 200 leading publie-spirited citizens, who cave $1,000 each and their even more valuable advice and time for over two years, in forming a major harbor plan vast enough to provide for all future slevelopment, unification of railroad terminals, wharves, slips, breakwater extensions, ete. This was one of the biggest civic surveys in wold history, Famous en- wineers were engage|. The great ports of the earth were studied. A plan of astonishing magnitude was laid out and energetic work was re- ~umeil in 1925, along new lines. The breakwater will be extended four and a half miles south, in deep water, off shore a mile to a mile and a half, op- posite Long Beach, forming a vastly larger harbor aong the beach anit most convenient, for commerce. It is now over two miles long. Aside from commerce there is yacht'ng in Southern _ California waters, Pleasure craft of all kinds ure seen in the harbors. Yacht clubs sire numerous. Regattas — include coastwise events, races to Catalina and San Clemente Islands, to San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico, Santa Barbara and {an ‘Franeiseo, and longer sails to Hawaii, Alaska and Vancouver. Cruises to the South Sea Islands, Australia and New Zealand are not uncommon for Los Angeles yachtsmen, The municipal wharves of Los An- eles Harbor are 34,100 feet in length and te privately owned wharves 24,300 If You Fail To Read THE CALIF ‘ORNIA EAGLE, You May Never Know It Happened feet. New ones are being steadily added to the waterfront. Several of he very strongest corporations in America have lately acquired frontage in order to increase their shipping facilities at this swiftly developing port, where the total freight in 1919 ‘vas valued at $86,181,470, and in 1925 had risen to $671,406,570, with prom- ye of greater increases in the future. Some of the swiftest and staunchest of shipbuild'ng has been «done by Los Angeles County shipbuildcrs. Long Beach s docks join these on the south, with splendid’ facilities. ‘The most modern and complete of equipment for construction and repairs is available lay arid night for the huge freighters and smart. passenger liners calling egularly from all pasts of ths earth. In April, 1925, the largest oil carrier in the world, the Standard Oi! tanker, John D. Archbold, was overhavted in 15 hours by the Bethlehem Shipbuild- ing Company and a new repair reed sstablished. Usually at least a week = required for such work at most ports. The tanker has a carso cup- pacity: of 155,800 barrels of oil. Her mouliled depth is 43 feet. She was raised out of water, a height of 27 feet, in three hours.” Her entire hull with 1,754,375 square feet of surface, was serape.t, cleaned and painted by a force of SO men, while other reomved straightened and replaced her 14-foot propeller and her starboard crank- shaft; overhauled both main engines her deck and cargo equipment. The Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company built. and_ launched thitty steel freighters of 8,00 tons each in three years and fifteen days. This achievement helped the United States Shipping Board bridge the Atlantic Ocean in record time. The South Western Shipbuilding Company built 28 fine ships during the war period. Other local firms made admir- able records. On one busy day the Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company's dry dock held four subamrines and a destroyer. Naval vessels are always to be seen in the harbor as it is headquarters for the Pacific tleet. Many wooden vessels of 4,400-ton type, coast steamers, tus, small boats and fast yachts are built at Los Ane geles Harbor and Long Beach, Balboa, Newport, Redondo and other coast cities of Southen California. OIL Los Angei@ County ranks high amon vil-producing slistriet~ of the work Discoveries are being made stead ly and new fiells being develop- eon all sides. The oil is piped direct to the harbor from the vaxt oil fields of the county, and from there it is transported about the world by 37 tank steamer lines, New lines are laid as needed, Experts say there is so much oil beneath the surface chat decades will pass before the supply is greatly depleted. The 587 producing wells on Signal Hill near Long Beach in 1925 pro- duced 187,741,921 barrels of oil. Other fiells were remarkably active. The value of petroleum products of Los Angeles territory in 1924 reached total of $21,880,298, and the weekly pay roll of the oil companies aver- aged $598,158, There were 160,767. O18 barrels of oil produced, and’ doz~ ens of refining plants handled it. Nearly all the great oil companies and many small concerns are actively engaged in the county. , Vegetable oils are also produced and refined locally. Natural gas i- plentiful, One com- pany, the Midway Gas Company, brings gas to the city from nine fields at the rate of 169,000,000 cubic feet daily, and it is sold for industrial pur- poses by the Southern California Gas Company. at 15 to 40 cents per thou- sand cubie feet. Other concerns ope- tate similarly in fields near by. PUBLIC BEACHES Of Southern Cal'fornia’s 274-mile coast line, 85 miles 1 ie in Los An- geles County. Nine-tenths of the County's population lives within 30 miles of the ocean. Virtually all of the bench frontage in the County is municipally owned and controlled, and fs open to the public at all times. Surf bathing may be enjoyed the year round ‘under conditions ranging from the quiet calm of protected coves and inlets, to the booming breakers roll- ing in from the mighty Pacific. Extending from, north to south along the County’y coast line are many attractive little cities. Santa Monica. spreads’ over the foothills of the mountain range which bears. its name, dnd comands a superb view of the mighty Pacific, This city, with Ocean Park and Venice, comprise the Bay District cities, world famous for their oleasure piers and niles of public beaches. The Coast Highway, running from’ the Canadian to, the Mexican borders along the Pacific Ocean, connects these cities with Playa del Rey, El Segundo. Manhattan Beach Hermosa and Redondo. Further south Palos Verdes rears its rolling terrian to comand an excellenz view of the Pacific. Behind it lie the xreit guns of the coast artillery of Fort MeArthur: Yachting and Fishing Thirty miles off the coast lies en- chanted Santa Catalina Island with its ricture-que Avalon Bay, a_amgnifi- cent hotel, a yaeht club, golf club and many attractive homes. Excursion steamers ply regularly between the istand and Los Angeles-Long Beach harbor, and great fleets of private yachts may be seen at all times, eruis- ing across the intervening chanel and around the is'std. Cataliny, with its sister islands of San Clemente and Santa Barbara, make up the world-famous chain of Channel Islands so rich in old Indian lore and romance of carly Spanish conquest, Southern California waters are the year ‘round rendezvous of many Eastern yachtsmen. The prox- imity of Los Angeles-Long Beach har- hor and Newport Bay to the Panama Canal, makes cruis'ng between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts jncreasing- ly popular, The annual yacht. races Hawaii and ctler mid-Pacifie islands eclipse anything of a similar nature staxed on lother waters. This great protected channel is also a veritable paradise for salt water fishermen. | Frank Gray Griswold, in his book, “Bome Fish and Some Fish- ing,” tells of landing giant sea bass off ‘the Catalina coast weighing 493 pounds, — swordfish weighing 463 pounds, marlin or spearfish weighing 372 pounds and tuna, yellowtail and albacore of varying weights. This channel is ane of the only two places in the world where tuna are to be Fouad In all directions from Los Angeles radiate some of the nation's finest highways, making accessible an array of scenery and a diversitysof recrea- tons unexcelled by any other part of hte world. | Supplementing this ex- cellent retwork of highwyas is the ,Pacitic Electric system, one of the finest in the world, operating 6,000 Using these facilities the visitor ean reach wjth & short ride of Los An- geles, his favorite kind of scenery ivarying fro mthe booming surf of the ‘Pacific to the snow-clad peaks of the Sierras and the picturesque desolation of the desert. Many miles of shore line offer surf bathing, motor boat- ing, yachting and salf-water fishing the year ‘round, while the mountains with their miles of highways, trails and bridle paths invite alike the motorist, the hiker and the rider. Mountain camps are provided for the motorist, while numerous golf courses lure devotees of the green. Los An- eles is not only the climatic capital of the nation hut the year ‘round play ground of millions.

I would like to leave with you a thought cal- culated to make you feel better; to make you feel more satisfied with’ the fect that we have government, art that we have goo government, and that we have proftuble government, What I have to say, of course, partic: ularly is confined to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, but I ver that the weas whch [have io bring out concerning the Sheriff's Department, are, to a greater or less extent, true with other departments in county government Everybody is talk'ng costs—costs of government. Tonight, I am going to talk about the profits of government; the profitable things that are accru- ing to the tax-payers of this county from the Sheriff's Department. Now, it is a fact that we have an appalling amount of crime, as I have called your attestin “» on various occasions. All crime is costing <ociet tmoney. It is costing the *ax-payers perty. huge sums. But what wouli happen if we did not have police or Feniations to recover soine of these losses? Would ot year Iesses be 791 wre: tet in exten: thar they are? Po: examp'e, I might city to you tha! Jast year, 18,000 or more automobiles were Teported stolen to the Sheriff's office. Throughout the course of the year dighty per cent of these were recover. ed for their owners. Our Auto Theft Detail alone recovered cars having an estimated valve of $680,000. Had we not recovered these cars for theit owners, somebody woul! eve bee: gut $680,000. So we might say that this is ar item of profit to the taxpayers, by virtue of the fact that we have a Sheriff's Department to recover prop. erty from the thieves who take awa your govis. In just the same manner, our Burgisry Letail recovered some $270,000 worth of property that was stolen from citiezns of the county in 4:.glaries. Throughout the course of year, the Sheriff's Department, inde- pendent of the various government agencies and the various other poli- If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Hapr cing bodies of the county, prosecuted cases on prohibition charges in our courts, in which fines were assessed by the courts which brought into the county treasury, approximately half a million dollars. These three items alone constitute a sum of more than one and a quarter million dollars, and it is one and a quarter million dollars worth of profitable savings to the tax- payers of the county. The figure= which I have mentioned, are the re- sults of only three of the fourteen «le- tails or squads which constitute the criminal division of the Sheriff's De- partment. I might say that each of the fourteen details render profitable ‘service to the county, but on account ‘of the nature of their work, it is diffi- ‘cult to measure he value of some of these. profits. However, you can Jreadify understand that’ throughout the course of a year, Sheriff Traeger haul his eye on nearly 30,000 suspicious interests in this county. To be a little more exact, we conducted 28,000. in- vestigations of _ matters involving criminal circumstances, As a result se these investigations, we removed ‘from society's midst, over 10,000 men land women who commit erimes against jour laws, and we placed them in the |County Jail where you were protected from them. I say that we cannot raeaeare the profits that accrue to you ni this type of work, at least not in WILLIAM I. TRAEGER Sheriff cf Los Angeles County. dollars and cents. But it does not take such imagination to realize how much greater your Josses in_ stolen property and in loss of life might have been hail these 10,000 law breakers who were arrested by the Sheriff's deputies last year, been allowed to remain at large. I think that we are ‘entirely justified in making the state- ment that the tangible profits, those |e hich we can measure in terms of dol- ‘lars and cents, of the Los Angeles |Sheriff’s Department are in fact, to- day, in excess of the cost of operat- ing the department. And if you agree that such is the case, it follows that |Sheriff Treager’s organization is self- supporting. Whenever any organiza- tion produces profits in excess of its cost of operating, it is not only self- supporting, but it is paying a divi- |dent to its stockholders. You, the tax-payers of the county, are the | stockholders of the Sheriff's organiza- tion, because the profits of that or- | ganization must inevitably come back |to you in one form or another. I would like to invite all persons who may be listening to this talk to- night, to come to the Sheriff's office and see for themselves what a splen- did organization we have, and what profitable work we are doing for you tax-payers. I would like to point out to you that our deputies are working day and night, at all times. While you sleep, we are running down crim- inals who are jeopardizing your life land property, and our organization has effected, in recent years, some sur- prising results in its battle against Inereasing crime. ‘I would like to be able to tell you about. these results, and how our organization has devep- cped ‘into one of the most efficient in ee United States, | In fact,’ prominent men have come to us from eastern and lather sections of the country and have ‘told us that, for our size and weight, [we are in fact doing more than many other sheriff's departments, and we [are prud of the fact, and we are |proud of the fact that Sheriff William I. Traeger has been very largely re- sponsivle for bringing this condition | about. FACTS ABOUT ‘THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT During the fiscal year ending’ June 30, 1926, 12,202 prisoners were book- fed’ in the County Jail, which was an inerease of twenty-six per cent over the year previous. A total of 690 |prisoners were assigned to Honor Camps during the year, which was an linerease of twenty-one’ per cent ove a year ago, Major crimes in the county increased nearly twenty pei cent over the year previous. The Sheriff's Deputies and Constables ‘made a total of 28,830 criminal in- |vestizations during the year, anc 10,655 arrests. There was a total of | 13,086 automobiles reported stolen te the sheriff's office. More than $680, 000 worth of stolen automobiles were recovered and loot valued at $271,00( was recovered in property stolen in ‘burglaries. Prohibition fines totaling |$433,000 were assessed by the courts on liquor cases prosecuted. by the |Sheritts deputies, There ix a total of 4,009, square miles of territory in Los Angeles county, embraced within the sheriff's jurisdiction. The sheriff's office. does /no tattempt to do policing duty within | incorporated. municipalities in the county, but in the unincorporated sec- |tions, population exeeeds 338,000 peo- ple. "This population, the equivalent of that of a large city, has been pro- tected with a comparatively small personnel. There are 460 men on the pay roll of the Sheriff’s Department, and only 350 of these are available for duty outside the office. The Sheriff attributes the fact that crime has been well _ suppressed throughout the county during the last year to the well planned organization of the department and the efficiency of hisdeputies. A. system of sub-stations located in outlying sections of the county has been adopted, which is helping to meet the problem of large area and’ grow- ing population, requiring more and more police protection. These sub- stations have tended to reduce the need of a larger personnel of officers than. would otherwise be required to meet tbe situation. A corps of resi- dent éonstables is located in each township of the county. Particular attention is called to the Public Relation Campaign which is designed to inform the public. through the medium of the press, the radio, lectures, printed matter, etc., of va- rious methods which it ‘can apply to ‘prevent crime. ‘The theory under- ling the Public Relation Campaign is that, if the public can be encouraged ‘ty use precautions against cr’'me on ke one hand and the authorities de- velop their organization and officers effic‘ently on the other hand, “crime ‘ind criminals will be sandwiches be- "ween two mighty forces, leaving them very little breath’ng room.” Highly Treasured | The following testimonial from the women inmates of the County jail is ‘treasured most highly by’ Chef In- | a a 4 MAJOR J.

QUICK SERVICE : 1112 CENTRAL AVENUE — fa SATIS sopra ASR Night and Day you cia ve play; for our doors are Bi OVOP CRON i lt Christmas Edition, 1926 Experience has taught Los Angeles that its growth in population, its in- dustrial expansion and the prosperity of its citizens can be measured defi- nitely and exactly in terms of water and hydro-electric power. Failure to provide ample and reliable supplies of water and water power automatically halts development, while the assurance of these basic necessities, in generous quantities, will encourage and sup- port almost unlimited growth. Twenty years ago, when Los An- geles was rapidly approaching the limits of its domestic water supply, it constructed the Owens River aque- duct, capable of meeting the needs of 2,000,000 people. . Along this water course the city developed large quan- tities of hydroelectricity—and_ thus supplied a second basic necessity. So rapid has been the expansion of Los Angeles during the past ten years that it now finds itself, once more reaching the limits of its water and power resources. To meet this situa- tion Los Angeles, in common with the entire Southwest, has turned to the Colorado River. Ranking as the third larges river in the United States, the Colorado is now recognized to be one of the richest natural resources’ in America. Its potential weulth exists in the form of Water for irrigation and doesmtic use an vast quantities of hydro-electric power. From its head in the Rocky Moun- tains, 14,000 feet above sea level, the Colorado travels 1,700 miles to its out- let in the Gulf of California. It ex- tends through two nations—the United States and the Republic of Mexico— and with’n this country its drainage basin ineluties portions of seven states; namely, Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah As the Colorado now runs its ani Wyoming. course, unregulated an! uncontrolled, it Is a terrifying flood menace, threat ening, each year, to overtop its banks and permanently destroy the cich agri- cultural vallys along its lower geachs. Ranchers in Imperial Valley, in South- ern California, have expended millions of dollars in erecting temporary’ flood protect'on works, in the.r annual bat- tle to hold back the raging waters of the Colorado. Should the Colorado, ever break through these levees, the entire valley would be transformed into a great inland sea. Imperial Valley ix far below sea level; therefore, the ‘loo water could n@ver be drained off but woul permanently destroy 600,000 acres of highly developed land,a dozen towns and the homes of 60,000 people. Several years ago the Federal Gov- ernment, through itx Reclamation Serv'ce, -amde an exhaustive survey of the problems of the Colorado River. In 1922 the Reclamation’ Ser- vice submitted its report and recom- mendations to the Secretary of the Interior. This report, in turn, was approved by the Interior Department, and presented to Congress for con- sileration and action. Careful surveys made by the Gov- ernment had revealed that, through proper control and conservation of Colorado River water, 6,000,000 horse- power of hydro-electric energy could be developed from this stream, and enough water stored in reservoirs to irrigate 6,000,000 acres of land, po- tentially fertile, but now ariel and use- less. Initial development, the Govern- ment's report declared, should be set underway at Bouldr Canyon. A dam 550 feet high at Boulder Canyon, it was shown, will permanently eliminate the present flood menace; will create a resevo'r capable of holding 26,000,- 000 acre feet of water, enough to bring under irrigation > 1.250,000 additional acres of land in Arizona anti Califor- nia; will provide a site for the genera- tion of 1,000,000 horsepower of hysiro- electricity. Thus, ‘t was disclosed, by the con- struction of Boulder Dam, the Gov- ernment, in one stroke, will transform the Colorado River from-a black flood menace into a source of inexhaustible wealth, benefitting the entire South- west. When the U. S. Reclamation Service submitted its report to the Depart- ment of the Interior on the problems of the Colorado River, in 1922, it rec- ommended the construction by the Federal Government of two major Projects. Its first recomendation was that the Federal Government construct a main irrigation canal from the Colo- rado River to Imperial and Coachella Valleys. This canal was to be entire- ly within the United States and was to replace Imperial Valley’s present main canal, which passes for a dis- tance of 60 miles throuh Mexiean territory before reaching California. It second recommendation was that the Federal Government construct a dam 550 feet high across the Colorado River in Boulder Canyon. ‘Erection’ of a high dam at Boulder Canyon, Government engineers pointed out, would: (1) Permanently elim- inate the Colorado River flood men- ace; (2) Create a reservoir capable of irrigating 1,250,000 acres of desert land; (3) Provide an opportunity el ae ne eneeee If You Fail To Read THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE, You May Never Know It Happened to generate 1,000,000 horsepower of hydro-electric energy. These recommendations were ap- proved by the Secretary of the In- terior, and the report forwarded to Congress for action. Shortly. there- after a bill, based upon the recom- mendations of the Interior Depart- ment, was introduced in both Houses of Congress. When Congress convened in Decem- ber of 1925, the pending legislation was submitted to Secretary of the In- terior [Hubert Work, for considera- | 4 va =~ . | L. . ee > 7 | i _ a 3 e 7 iy ae = i a — 7 ; ee — so -, ll 224" 4 ae oe "s ‘ Mavor Crver tion and approval, Seeretry Work, in a report to the Senate Committee ex- pressed his approval of the general plan. He suggested, however, certin additions and changes in the bill, ‘The most important of Secretary Work's suggestions was the recom mensation that the bill provide, not only for a dam at Boulder Canyon, but also for the construction and ope- ation by the Federal Government of a hydro-electric generating plant at the dam site. The original bill had eon- templated that the Governemnt would lease, fo various municipal and_pri- vate “agencies, the right to develop power available at Bouller dam, but had not contemplated the erection of the plant, itself, by the Governemnt. Where the original bill had pro- visied for an appropriation of $70,000,- 000, Secretary Work recommended that the measure authorize the estab- lishemnt of # fund of, $125,000,000. This money, he stated, should be used to cover the cost of constructing Boulder dam, the hydro-electric gen- erating plant and also the All-Amer- ican canal. With’ these three projects financed, he stated, there would re- main $21,000,000 available to meet in- terest payenmts on the money invest- ed during the time the various strue- tures were being built, In accordance with Secretary Work’s recommenda- tions the bill was amended to include the plans outlined by him. Amenied bill retins that provision of the original bill which specifies: (1) That all money invested by the Government in the construetion of Boulder Dam must be repaid with in- terest, from the sale of power devel- oped at the dam site. (2). That the cost of the All-American canal must be repaid by assessments on the lands benefitted by this project. Secretary of Commerce Hoover, a strong advocate of the Government's Boulder Canyon dam project, has ren- dered invaluable service in the ironing out of the many difficulties incident to the drafting of legislation. - That President Coolidge strongly favors the development of the Colo- rado River was indicated in October. 1924. “At that time, in a telegram re- ceived in Southern California, the President stated: “The major purposes of the works t obe constructed there involve two fundamental questions which must always remain in public control—that is, flood control and the provision of | immense storage necessary to hold the | seasonal and annual flow, so as to pro- vide for the large reclamation pos- sibilities in both California and Arizona. “These considerat‘ons seem to me to dominate all others and to point logic- ally to the Federal Government as the agency to undertake the construction of a great da mat Boulder Canyon ot some suitable local:ty.”” ‘The Colorado River Aqueduct When Los Angeles, ni 1913, com- pleted its Owens River Aqueduct, the people of this city confidently believed they had solved their domestic water ‘problem for generations to come. This gret artificial waterway is capable of supplying the needs of 2,000,000 people. pegine the Owens River Aqueduct began to pour its precious cargo of water into Los Angeles, however, the rapid growth of this community has amazed the entire world. Thirteen years after the completion of the aqueduct we find Los Angeles support- ing a population of 1,200,000, and climbing toward the second miilion mar kat the rate of 100.000 new resi- dents a yeur. Los Angeles’ astounding develop- ment has confronted its Municipal Water Bureau with the same problem it faced prior to the construction of the Owens River Aqueduet. It is a problem of findin and developing a new and large source of domestic water. Realizing that thsi city must begin to prepare for that day, in the very near future, when it will reach the limit of its’ present. water supply, William Mulholland, Chief Engineer of the Municipal Water Bureau, in 1928, began to survey a route for an aqueduct to bring water to this city from the Colorado River. At the same time a large number of other cities in Southern California indicat- ed their necessity of developing addi- tional domestic water supplies. Mr. Mulholland'y surveys and de: ‘tailed Studies revealed that it, was feasible and pragticable to. build a gigantic aqueduct. that will, divert sufficient water from the Colorado “River to supply, not only the needs of “Los Angeles, but also the require- “ments of a score or more of other | municipalities, in Southern California. His studies further disclosed that the Colorado River is the- only source ‘capable of meeting Los Angeles’ water requirements. | The result of these surveys and [studies has been the xelection of a route for the greatest domestic water | supply system ever launched on the face of the earth.

Under the direction of Mr. Mulholland, workmen now are en- gaged in the excavation of a two-mile long infiltration canal paralleling the western bank of the river. Th’s canal starting at a point 16 miles north of the tawn of Blythe, will extend north- ward along the bank of the river and at a distance of about 500 feet west ofthe western shore line. ‘Traversing, as it does, an area of gravel and sand, the canal will serve as a natural and highly efficient filtra- tion system, Water from the river it has been. demonstrated, rapidly filters into the gravels along its banks, and after passing through these de- posits will pour into the canal com- pletely freed of all silt and other for- eign matter, Once in the infiltration canal, the water will be diverted into the main conduit of the aqueduct and started on its long journey acrose mounains and valleys toward the cities of Southern California. Construction of the Colorado River Aqueduct will be a herculean task; ‘it will necessitate the investment of millions of dollars; it will require, yrobabl, eight years to complete. And_ it will support 7,500,000. peple _and build Southern California into one of the most populous and prosperous areas in America. The water hel din storage behind Boulder dam, Government surveys disclose, will be capable of generating a peak load of 1,000,000 horsepower of hydro-electricity. or a continuous flow ‘of energy amounting to 600,000 horse- power... In accordance with the ree- ommendations of Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work, Boulder Can- yon dam legislation, now pending in Congress, provides that this electricity shall be ‘generated in plant t obe constructed and operated by the Federal Government, and sold to the various municipalities and agencies in the Southwest in need of electric power. Careful surveys of the electric power needs of Southern California and the Southwest generally have shown that there is an urgent demand in this region for all the electricity available at Boulder Canyon dam. The citizens of Los Angeles, by a vote of four to one already have in- structed their municipal officials to contract with the Federal Govern- ment for a fair share of the electricity that will be available when Bouller dam is constructed. So rapid has heen the increase in the use of power and light in this city, during the past few years, that the Bureau of Power and Light is now able to generate in its power plants along the Owens River Aqueduct only about 60 per cent of the energy that it distributes to its consumers. The remaining 40. per cent the Bureau must purchase whole- Sale from a private power company A stuly of the growing electric power needs in the Southwest dis- closes that by 1935 the region within economic power transmission distance of Boulder Canyon will require 1,730 000 horsepower ‘of electricity more than it, is new consuming. This amount is almost three times greater than the 600,000 continuous horse- power available from Boulder Dam. Thus, it ix manifest, the growing need for hydro-electric energy in the South- west will provide a ready market for alt the energy available from Boulder Dam. Use of Boulder Canyon power in industrial, commercial” and agrieul- tural expansion throughout the South- west, will create new national wealth of huge proportions, engineers and economists point out. Taking “ax a basis for. computation the present wealth of Southern California co- ordinate with the quantity of electric power now in use, it is found that no less than $15,000,000,000 of additional wealth will be brought about by put- ting Boulder Canyon power to work in. Arizona, Nevada and California, Through the use of a share of this power in Southern California, profit- able employment will be created for the ever growing army of men and women that is pouring into this favor- ed region each year. It ‘is, therefore, apparent that Boulder Canyon power will not only provide ‘the means of financing the great dam, but will enrich, also, the entire nation through its use in mov- ing new wheels of industry and com- merce. Furthermore, power from Boulder Dam will be a vitally essential phase of the Colorado River Aqueduct project. In order to bring domestic water from the river into Southern California through this great artifi cial waterway, it will be necessary to raise it over several intervening barriers. Power from Bouldre Dam will be required to operate the pumps used in lifting the aqueduct water over these omuntain obstacles. Los Angeles: already had launched the construction of its Colorado River Aqueduct. It awaits only the action of Congress to share in the benefits of Colorado. River electric power. With its equeduct it will bring in enough water to supply 7,500,000 more peo- ple. With its power it will build per- ‘manent prosperity for these millions: Se ge ee JOHNNIE JOHNSON LINCOLN AND FORD Salesman L. G. ROBINSON ry - ; | | | Probably one of the most interest- ing figures of the Race in Southern California is L. G. Robinson, Custod- ian and Chief Janitor of Los Angeles County Buildings and,President of the Angelus Funeral Home. Born in Barnesville, Georgia, on the same date as the Great Emanci- pator, and in the yegr that marked the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, since early youth, his'life has been a series of colorful experiences. Un- able to read or write‘ at seventeen, Mr. Robinson took advantage of the first chance for an education and at 20 had completed the course at Barnes- ville Grammar School: Leaving there he took the Academ- ic course and stud'ed Theology at Payne College, Augusta, Georgia for 6 years, Later he attendd Knoxville College for two terms. In 1898 he was ordained as a minister of the C. M. E. Church by Bishop.L. H. Holsey at Augusta, Georgia. Finding his chosen field limited in the Southland, he came to California in 1904 to try his fortunes and settled in Pasadena, Securing a position as porter at the Pasadena Hospital in that city, he held it for two years:and later. worked for the city of Pasadena for nine months. During this time. Mr. Robinson resolved that he would be independent of any man within a few years. This resolution he made good by the thrifty life he consistent- ly lived. In 1907 he began working for the County of Los Angeles and in 1912 was made head of the Department of Jan‘tors, which at that time only em- ployed 19 men, white and colored. Lat- er he moved to Los Angeles, but con- Unued to hold the pastorate of Scott's Chapel in Pasadena until 116. During his pastorate he was often honored with the presence of Judge Curtis D. Wilber, now Secretary of the Navy, who preached and lectured to us much to our benefit. With an exe to doing the utmost to serve his Race and at the same time maintain an unquestionable record of efficiency as « County official, under his able supervision, the Department has grown from 1 employees to 165. Under their chiefs constant urg- ing, most of the men own their homes. -He demands that they be men of character and ability to do their jobs faithfully and well. Be- cause of this, Mr. Robinson is held in the highest esteem by his co-workers of all races, including the highest of- ficials and most influential people in Lox Angeles and its environs. Th 1925, in order to assist a friend, Mr. Fred Shaw, he joined the Ange: lus’ Funeral Home and was later male president. Under his capable direc- tion, the business has grown to large propoktions. It is interesting to note that Mr. Robinson was the first person to dem- onstrate successfully that cotton could be grown in California better than in Georgia. He brought a stalk bearing 170 full-grown bolls, which he had raised in his back yard in Pasadena, into the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce in 1907 where he met Frank Wiggins, the secretary ard wagered that he jknew more people in Los An- geles than th secretary. Robinson won. Mr. Robinson ix married and the father of three children. He is con- nected with mst of the bigger Race bus'nesses in the city; an ardent fra- ternal, civic and religious worker and stands ready to lend a hand to any- one in any way he can, People of Fu races in all walks of life consult him on various matters of _import- which has increased his versatility and quickened his keen, ready judg- peso Maat pierce ie eat ot Bag Last week a very important decision was hande ddown by Judge A.

It was the opinion of the court. and concurred in by the as- sociated judges, “that V. M.

Los Angeles The Educational Center of All California PAGE--SIX Los An The Story of the Los Angeles Public Schools The story of the development of public education in Los Angeles reads like a story of Aladdin and His Lamp, the main difference being that the story of the Los Angeles Schools is a true one. Ordinarily, statistics are not very interesting and are meant to be read by a few who may be interested in the subject. In this brief article it is our intention to give a few statistics which, in a concise way, tell a remarkable story of the public schools of the City of Los Angeles. The first record that we find of any public school in Los Angeles dates back to 1817, the first teacher being Maximo Pino, an invalid soldier, who received a yearly salary of $110. School supplies in those days were extremely difficult to obtain. The government paymaster furnished the writing paper which was used from the government storehouse. Knowing how difficult it is to obtain supplies from any government storehouse, we wonder if perhaps the famous "scrap of paper" expression did not originate here. When this paper had been thoroughly covered with figures and choice extracts from the Catechism, it was returned to the soldiers to be manufactured into bullets. Thus it happened that many a bad Indian made his first acquaintance with the Catechism through a bullet rather than through the church. The first school session with terms from three to four months in length lasted for two years, and then a nine year vacation followed. Such a program was, no doubt, heartily in accord with the will of the pupils at that time and might possibly receive an astoundingly favorable vote even by the boys and girls of this time. The general public took very little interest in the schools. The old soldier schoolmasters who were their teachers were tyrants, and the school government a veritable military despotism. They proceeded on the pedagogical formula of "No lickin', no larnin'". For the slightest offense a sound thrashing with the cat-of-nine-tails was the punishment. It has been suggested that the yells from the culprits were the foundations of the present class yells, and that the dullest boy in the class, having the most practice, was, no doubt, the father of the yell leader in our modern university. For the above statement we have the authority of a famous California historian, Mr. J. M. Guinn. Mexico did better by education in California than did its predecessor, Spain. The most active and earnest friend of the public schools at this time was the Mexican Governor, Micheltoraver. We have in Los Angeles a school which is named after this famous Mexican Governor. He appointed an officer in his army, Lieutenant Medina, as schoolmaster, but due to the favorite Mexican sport of revolutions, which seems to date as far as the early 1820's, school was interrupted inasmuch as the building was needed for barracks and the larger boys for soldiers. Between revolutions the school held its very limited sessions. An interesting inventory found among the records of this period reveals the supplies which were purchased for one year's school: Number Purchased 36 primers 11 second readers 14 catechisms 1 table 6 benches Cost Primers ..... $1.00 Blackboard ..... 2.00 Jar for water ..... 2.50 Ink ..... 1.00 String to rule blackboard ..... 5.0 Inkwell ..... 3.7 $7.37 There were a few well educated, intelligent people among the higher class of Mexicans of this period, but the rank and file were ignorant and indifferent to education, especially to book learning; "and the children in their affection and filial reverence for their parents were unwilling to know more than their progenitors." Senorita Soledad, daughter of Don Coronel, one of the noted pioneers of Los Angeles and in whose honor we have a school named, assisted her father in teaching in the Los Angeles public schools in 1838. She is the first woman school teacher of whom there seems to be any record. She introduced the study of Music and Physical Education in the schools. In the Chamber of Commerce collection of relics of early Los Angeles days there is a harp which Senorita Soledad played for the children as a reward for diligent study. During the gold rush period of '49 the school sessions were irregular and the instructors poorly paid. The early schools seem to have been run on the "come and go as you please" proposition, both on the part of the students and the teachers. The records of this period report an incident in which the school committee, having visited the school twice and finding no children assembled, "arranged with the schoolmaster for a full attendance next Friday." In 1852 the first school tax levy of 10 cents on $100 was made in the city. Until this, ten cent tax was leaved schools were forced to close after a very short period due to the fact that funds were exhausted. The first teachers' institute was held in the Bellevue School Building north of the Plaza on what is now North Main Street. It was held there because the school house located on the corner of Second and Spring Streets was considered too far out of # 2023年高考真题解析 ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened THE NEW YORK MUSEUM VIEW OF THE WIGGINS TRADE SCHOOL Los Angeles, Calif. ANOTHER VIEW OF THE WIGGINS SCHOOL cown. 1854 the Honorable Stephen C. Foster became mayor of Los Angeles and in his inaugural address he made the statement: "first in importance among the needs of our city is education." He urged the organization of a Board of Education and the appointment of a superintendent of schools, and, as is the famous American custom today, he who advocates a thing is usually elected to do it. Accordingly, the City Council appointed the Honorable Stephen Foster as superintendent of schools. Thus we find the mayor of the city becoming its first school superintendent and three of the seven members of the City Council constituting its Board of Education. It has only been within recent years that the public has been willing to trust to its school teachers the business of administering its schools, the public having felt in the past that others except those who knew most about it seemed to be more desirable administrators than the teachers. The school board and superintendent worked diligently and vigorously to secure the erection of a new up-to-date school building and before the close of 1854 a new school house was located on the corner occupied by the Bryson Block. Second and Spring Streets on the lot It was a two-story brick building cost- VIEW OF THE WIG Los Ang ing about $6000. It was considered to be located well out in the suburbs and would take care of the growth for some years to come. The master of this school being a lover of nature endeavored to plant trees and shrubbery to beautify the grounds, but due to the difficulty of carrying the water from the well and the excessive number of rodents the life of the trees and plants was short. The first high school was built in 1872, a two-story wooden building containing eight rooms. It was located where the Hall of Records now stands and was later moved by high trestles over the tops of buildings to the corner of California and Hill Streets where part of it still stands. In 1875 five new school houses were constructed, modeled after the first ones consisting of one room each. These might be likened to our present bungalow schools of which we have many in outlying districts. The question of need of additional ANOTHER VIEW OF accommodations for school purposes in Los Angeles due to the influx of population seems to be no new one, for quoting from an annual report of the superintendent in 1871 we read, "Owing to the increasing demands for accommodations, I think it will be necessary to add four more rooms if they can be rented in a suitable location." In 1890 we find there were seven double day sessions. Two schools were taught by one teacher. Educationally speaking the double day session is an unsatisfactory arrangement, but from the standpoint of the prosperity of the city, it is a good biometer of the growth and development of the community. The following tables show the comparative growth of the Los Angeles Schools from 1835 down to the present day, dealing not only with the growth in numbers of pupils and teachers, but also with the total amounts for salaries and other interesting data: Year Number Enrollment Average Daily Att. 1835 1 100 483 1860 2 1880 11 1,776 1,059 1885 20 4,679 3,076 1895 46 16,719 11,798 1905 65 38,260 27,320 $11,237,012.94 $22,352,641.00 Land-Building & Equipment $11,459,105.48 $16,721,238.00 Students, Transportation Students $94,940.53 118,501.46 Supplies $243,247.10 $496,775.00 For the last twenty months the Board of Education has expended more than a million a month on land buildings and equipment.

They are very easily checked when one drives about the city, as i t im- GINS TRADE SCHOOL Angeles, Calif. possible to visit a single section of the city that has not within the last two or three years had an addition to a school building or a new building.

In 1922 the City of Los Angeles voted $17,400,000 worth of school bonds which were expended as follows: **Elementary** 69 new large elementary buildings 41 substantial additions to old buildings. 11 classroom bungalows and sanitary buildings. 32 new sites 90 additions to present sites. **High School** 5 new senior high schools 3 new junior high schools 1 new senior high school buildings on old sites. 7 new junior high school buildings on old sites The following table shows the total expenditure on Bond Issues since 1914:* From the above facts it is perfectly evident that the growth of the Los Angeles City School System has been phenomenal. When any business organization finds its volume of business doubled in the period of four years it is confronted with a serious problem of expansion. This has been the case with the Los Angeles Board of Education. The citizens of Los Angeles begin education and spare no expense to furnish their boys and girls with the very best educational advantages that can be had. With the great number of teachers desiring to come to Southern California and particularly to Los Angeles City the very best teachers are secured. After all, we are not really building physical plants, we are building character and citizenship; we are not endeavoring to teach courses of study, we are endeavoring to teach boys and girls. It is the aim of the public schools to fit boys and girls not only to make a living and take their places in the industrial, professional, and business world, which is necessary and proper, but more than that, it is the aim of the Los Angeles School Department to develop the kind of men and women who will do credit to this great Southland and to the state and nation of which they are a part. It is the hope and aim of every school teacher that the boys and girls under her direction shall be better citizens in the future by being better citizens during the present, for these boys and girls are just as truly citizens now as they ever will be. Just as the engineer has his tables and standards by which he makes his computations, just as the mariner has the compass by which he obtains his bearings, as the business house has means of determining its volume of sales and accomplishments, so does the School Department have its measures and objectives, as they are called, by which progress is measured. This school system measures its accomplishment by the generally accepted cardinal principles, or main objectives, of education. Each subject taught should contribute directly to one of more of these objectives, or yardsticks of education. These generally accepted objectives are: 1. Health. 2. Command of fundamental processes. (These include reading, writing, arithmetic, and the elements of oral and written expressions.) 3. Worthy home-membership. GIFTS ON CREDIT!

By means of a constant check or evaluation of subjects, we are able to determine whether or not we are turning out of our schools the sort of a finished product that we desire. What shall it profit the boy or girl who shall gain the whole curriculum and lose his own health? What progress can a student make in the world today unless he can read, write, and figure acerately and express himself adequately through the written and oral forms. Our schools should endeavor to make the student a more worthy member of the home, not of some future home, but of its present home. The schools should prepare for a vocation, should give thorough training in civic education, point out responsibilities that the individual has for the state as well as the obligations the state has for the individual. He should be taught the worthy use of his leisure time and last but by no means least, unless the student possesses the type of character that is honored and respected by the community, of what value is all the rest of his education. As mentioned above we are not endeavoring to teach subjects, we are endeavoring to teach boys and girls. Above the proscenium arch in the Los Angeles City High School Auditorium is a motto which is read many times by each student enrolled in that great institution before he shall graduate. This motto embodies the real spirit of education: "Obedience to Law, Respect for Others, Mastery of Self, Joy in Service; These constitute life." This is the ideal that school teachers are ever endeavoring to hold before the boys and girls who so soon will be the men and women of the community. Someone has aptly said that education is the ability to read the sign post at the corner and know which way to turn. The Los Angeles School Department is endeavoring to turn out boys and girls who are able to read the signs of the times and turn in a direction that will lead to service and success.

Lyons of the 39th senatorial district has been tried and found to be a true friend to our group and we can depend on him any time that he is called upon. The Republican Protective League was organized in 1905 in the city of Oakland. From that time on we have been found advocating the candidacy of various men throughout the state. The first endorsement of our Club was Roosevelt and Fairbanks for President and Vice-President. We next supported President Taft. We also endorsed the candidacy of Ex-governor Pardee. In 1909 many of the members of the organization moved from Oakland to Los Angeles where we then took up the organization work again i n Los Angeles. Thru Attorney G. W. Wickliffe, who was Council of our organization at that time, we were duly organized here with Captain G. W. Hawkins, President of the organization and Lucille Shelten, Secretary, Mr. Wickliffe had the organization to transfer from Oakland and, thru the Secretary of State, it was duly organized in the city of Los Angeles. From that time until today we have been found doing political work thru this organization. After Mr. Hawkins' death, Mr. William Quall became President and Mrs. Gwendolyn Gordon was Secretary. We have taken part in every election from that time on. Now we have leased a beautiful place for headquarters at 1710 South Central Avenue which we will open early in the year where we will conduct the business of the organization. Since we have been organized in the city of Los Angeles, we have been identified in every campaign. The first candidate that we supported in this city was the late Mayor Alexander. And from that time on we have had the privilege of endorsing Mayor Rose, Mayor Charles Sebastin and Mayor Frederick Wodoman. We have also endorsed Mayor Cryer three times --- SENATOR C. W. LYONS THESE ARE THE C SENATOR SHORTRIDGE Senator Shortridge has always been found to be our friend. We can depend on him at all times to stand for a square deal for all people. During the last campaign a letter was sent to me by Mrs. Myrtle Foster Cook of Kansas City, Chairman of the Colored Women of the Western Division under the Republican National Committee under Chairman William Butler. Part of the letter was as follows: "Never change horses in the middle of the stream' is a wise old saying, homely but true. Senator Shortridge had made a fine record in the National Congress. He has also stood square for the best interest of all the people." CONGRESSMAN JOE CRAIL We have other men i npublic life such as Congressman Joe Crail, who has succeeded Congressman Frederick. Mr. Crail has been tried and found to always give a square deal to our group. He has a brother on the Superior bench in the person of Chas, S. Crail who is true and fair in his decisions to oll the people. W. E. EVANS W. E. Evans has a wonderful record also GOVERNOR C. C. YOUNG Governor C. C. Young has made a wonderful record in the State of California since his long service in the State Legislature and as Lieutenant Governor of the State of California.

Wade Father Cleghorn Now for the National work. We have been identified with every election from the time of President Taft. We took a very active part in Chief Justice Hughes' campaign when he was defeated thru the trickery of Senator Johnson. We also took an active part in Presidents Harding and Coolidge elections. We have been found in support of Senator Shortridge since 1915. We supported him again in 1920 agains tCongressman Kent. We again supported him in the last election against Judge Clark. We have also had the pleasure of supporting Governor Stevens and Lt. Governor Young in 1918. Four years later we supported Governor Friend W. Richardson instead of Stevens. Our organization was also on record as supporting Congressman Osborne, a friend of our people. Since the death of Congressman Osborne, we have been supporting Captain John D. Frederick. At the last election we supported Joe Crail to succeed Frederick who did not run. Our organization has always tried to endorse men that we felt were best qualified to fill the office. I will have to admit that we have made mistakes in some of our endorsements, but nevertheless we are still trying to better our condition. The time has now come when we feel that we should secure quarters for our organization as is done in other large cities throughout the United States so that we can work hard to gain recognition as other groups. We feel that the only way that we can succeed is by our ballot and continue to demand things that we should have as any other group of citizens. Our new quarters will be opened for all the people of our group in this section of the city. We have many prominent men J. B. SUPPORTED AT THE I CAPTAIN L. L. McCLARY We shall now speak of our district which is called the Newton Street District that takes in from Sixth Street to Slausson Avenue, from the river to San Pedro. At the head of that district we have Captain L. L. McClarey who is a man that stands for every person in the district and will treat them squarely as citizens and respect them as such. The people in the district feel grateful to the Mayor and Chief of Police to have such a man as the Captain to conduct the affairs of that district as he does. We who come in contact with Captain McClarey in the district can see that he is fair and square to the citizens that come under his supervision. We have in the detective bureau Captain Glenn who has male a wonderful record in the Police Department during the twenty years that he has been in the service. He has been promoted gradually from patrolman to his present position. COUNCIL MAN SPARKS Councilman Sparke of the fifth district is a candidate to succeed himself at the next spring election. He was formerly the License Clerk of this County for many years. He has a very wide acquaintance throughout this city. He stands for all the people in his district. He has lots of courage and we must return him to the Council at the next election. COUNCILMAN SHAW Councilman Shaw of the 8th district has made a good success as Councilman. He was presented at the opening of Florence Avenue and was presented with a gold shield set with diamond. This present PROTECTIVE LEAGUE Comm R. D. Asbury Morton L. Asbur Ernest Chase T. A.

McKINLEY Senator J. W. McKinley is one of our newly elected senators who has made a good reputation in the past and we believe that he can be depended upon. SENATOR JOSEPH L. PEDROTTI Senator Joseph L. Pedrotti was not a candidate at this time but is one of staunch admirers. He is a young man who has ben tried and found to be a friend to all the people regardless of creed or color. We have tried him on many occasions and he has always responded readily. This is the ticket that our organization has supported on the Superior bench:— Harry A. Hollzer, Sidney N. Reeves, Rueben S. Schmidt, Robert H. Scott, Albert Lee Stephens, Frederick C. Valentine, Charles B. Burnell, Charles S. Crail, Chas. B. Burnell, Walter S. Gates, Edward T. Bishop, William Hazlitt. and women of this city who have been members of this organization for many years past. I hope that we can continue to strengthen our organization as we have many big problems to solve and the only way to solve these problems is by united forces. We have a problem at the coming election of selecting our Councilmen for the city of Los Angeles and we must be on our guard to stand by the men that we know will give us a square deal throut the city. We have the right to have he same recognition as any other group of people. I am simply quoting these facts so that you may see the necessity of organized forces for fighting. For twenty years we have kept the organization alive and what we need most now is more co-operation from our people. The opening date of our headquarters will be given out thru invitations and thru the newspapers so that all of the people will know what we are going to do. It is up to us to make good. "The social well-being of our constant effort for the amelioration of race prejudice and the extension to all elements of equal opportunity and equal protection under the laws are guaranteed by the Constitution. The Federal Government especially is charged with this obligation in behalf of the Colored people of the nation. Not only their remarkable progress, their devotion and their loyalty, but our duty to ourselves under our claim that we are an enlightened people requires us to use all our power to protect them from the crime of lynching. Although violence for this kind has very much decreased, while any of it remains we can not justify neglecting to make every effort to eradicate it by law."

He is a candidate to succeed himself and there is no doubt about his winning as his people will support him. He is easily approached and will listen t oany man or woman who comes to him from his distict. Leet us re-elect him at the spring election. COUNCILMAN BOYLE WORKMAN Councilman Boyle Workman of the 4th district is president of the City Council. He is a candidate t succeed himself at the next election. He has made a good record. He is a native son and his father was Mayor of the city of Los Angeles. Ifeelthat no man knows what the people want more than Councilman Workman. He can feel sure that the people will send him back next spring. COUNCILMAN COLDEN Cuncilman Colden of the 15th district has made a wonderful record in that district. eH now represents the sectin that is covered by Watts which was lately admitted to Los Angeles and was not included in his district when he was elected. We have a very large group of our people ein that district now and I feel that Mr. Colden will give a square deal to all the people in that district. He is a candidate to succeed himself and all the people who know him will help him in the coming election. The councilman's duty today is one that should be considered by every one who lives in these various districts. The district representation means that every councilman is responsibl for his district. Whenever a proposition is brought up in that district it is wholly for that councilman to represent that district in the City Council.

PROBATION AND ITS RELATION TO CRIME PROBATION AND ITS RELATION TO CRIME In 1902-1903 the Legislature of the State of California created the Probation law. This law gave the Court the discretionary power of releasing both minors and adults on probation where the ends of justice, and the best interests of the public as well as the defendant would be subserved by so doing. The Adult Probation Department of Los Angeles County kept no records up to 1908 regarding those men and women placed on probation; since that time a record has been kept and up to date approximately ten thousand men and women have been granted permission to file applications for probation. Of this number 4163 men and women have been rehabilitated under this law, the majority of whom have become good citizens in the community in which they reside. It has been the rule of the Probation Department not toorecomend pro bation in cases where there is not an excellent opportunity for the man or woman to respond to the leniency extended. Only such cases are recommended in the judgment of the Probation O__cer the subject will profit by his experience with the law, and become a better citizen. If a man has been arrested for the first time or as some people term it "first time caught," this is no reason in itself why he should be granted probation on this showing alone. If this was true, approximately seventy-five per cent of those applying for probation would be entitled to leniency. Contrary to the opinion of many, it should be noted that the criminal of today is not being mollycoddled, nor is he encouraged in leading a life of crime through the adoption of the probation law, or other humane statutes. The fact that every man that requests probation must stand on his own rights and not know until the time the Judge passes sentence, that he is to be granted leniency, in is itself a strong point revealing the fact that probation can never be promised but must be earned. It is true that the United States leads the rest of the world in the number of crimes committed. This state of affairs will continue as long as the so-called "law-abiding citizen" treats these conditions as a matter of course, or because of ignorance, carelessness, neglect, or failure to register a vote of disapproval at the polls and thus fails to protest against same. If crime is to decrease, the people must stand firmly for law and order and endeavor to assist in its enforcement. This can only be done by cooperation of the citizens with the police and other organizations working for the prevention of crime. Experience has taught us our most efficient prevention remedy may be summed up in the word, education. The coming generations, as well as the present, should be taught that our laws must be respected and obeyed. When one considers that sixteen per cent of those tried in the local criminal courts have no education, fifty-seven per cent grammar school training or part of same, and only twenty-one enter High School, this leaves only six per cent of those handled as having had part of or a complete college education. Those interested in crime suppression could, with profitable results, spend much time in the education of our young people. When one is deprived of his liberty ST. LOUIS, MO. by the State, it is no more than fair to that party that he be educated, and if possible taught a vocation or trade while in confinement at prison, instead of being released with $5.00 cash, a suit of clothes and the best wishes of those who sent him to the institution. It is imperative that we not only spend time and research as to the causes and reasons for crime, but it is also true that much time could be adequately spent on rehabilitating those who are arrested for crime and who have made the necessary showing, which would offset the idea of their committing a crime again. CARL L. MAY, Supervisor, Adult Probation Dept. THREE BIG PROJECTS ADVANCED Three important opening and widening proceedings, all included in the Major Traffic Street Plan, were ad vanced during the past week, according to reports from the Traffic Com mission. Referees filed the awards of damages for the widening of Olive Street, from Seventh Street to Pico, to a uniform width of 80 feet. This calls for a five-foot strip benign cut from each side of the street. The total damages for the improvement were set by the referees at $1,682,143.98. Property owners petitioned for the widening so that Olive may be used as a retail shopping street, with wide sidewalks. The condemnation suit for widening Eighth Street, from Figueroa to Windson Blvd., a distance of nearly five miles, was filed by Deputy City Attorney Delorey. This project calls for a 80-foot street, and the elimination of jogs. It will cost, according to estimates, $2,990,250, of which the city will pay as its share $328,928. It will provide a new artery to the western section of the city when completed. Protests were denied for the widening of Temple Street, from Broadway to Park View Street. This project estimated to cost $1,000,000, will also get city aid, $100,000 having beer allocated from the six-cent permanent improvement fund. ```markdown ``` Christmas Edition, 1926 r success outdoes fic- ing hundreds of per- the world and truly, the dominant part that -Moral, Physical and LOS ANGELES HAS MOST AUTOS Importance of providing traffic congestion relief in Los Angeles is shown in figures obtained from the U.

The total number of automobiles in the United States is 19,697,832. New York has the most machines, with 1,562,000, while California is a close second with 1460,000. New York has no gas tax, so California leads all other states in the amount received from gasoline taxes. During the first six months of 1926, 7,400,000 was collected in California.

HARRIS THE POLICE AND THE PUBLIC In our form of government, where so much depends upon the executive branch, of which the Police Departments are the greater part, a more perfect understanding should exist. To many of our citizens, the Police represent the Constitution, the Judge, the Jury, Prosecuting Attorney, and everyone connected with law enforcement, and for that very reason Police Officers should be highly trained specialists. The degree of confidence and respect in which they are held depends upon the manner in which they discharge their duties. If courteous and competent, an excellent effect for good, will obtain. If otherwise, a very bad effect will prevail, and if the public loses confidence in its law enforcement officers, then they also lose confidence in their Government, and then Anarchy, Communism and Lawlessness begin to take root, which, if left and disturbed will destroy the very foundation of our Govern- So it behooves us all, as good citizens, to look well to the kind of police force we have and to select only those specially fitted by education, training and environment for that most important branch of our Government, and if proper care has been exercised in securing good police officers it then becomes the duty of all good citizens to assist those officers in their work; for, in truth, they are the servants of the whole people but not the servant of any individual person, and they can be best assisted by friendly co-operators in problems that concern the welfare of the community, a nd violations of the law should be taken to the Police and not those things such as personal spite, revenge and jealousy. The police are ready at all times to render service to the people in their district, but the degree of service depends largely upon the co-operation of the people; so it seems to me that if the public endeavors to help more and criticise less we would all be much benefitted. Many of our citiens do not understand that proper evidence must be presented in court to secure a conviction, and many times a citizen is the only witness, and when that citizen is THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN IS SUPPORTING THE NEW YORK CITY BROOKLYN MUSEUM OF ART AND SCIENCE. UNIFORM POLICE NEWTON STREET STATION The citizens of the district in which the Newton Street Station is located are happy in the thought that they have the finest set of officers and patrolmen that are second to no other anywhere or any place. From Captain McClary on down the line the above group of officers are well liked and highly respected. Captain McClarey, Commander of this Station, can well feel proud of this magnificent galaxy of officers. THE MEMORIAL CEREMONY OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN, N.Y.

Inasmuch as this is your Government, you have to have him guilty, have him and the judges, it would seem to me that you should take a very brief interest in your Police Department, assisting it in every way to perform its proper function in Government. I have no thought of blaming our citizens for any of the faults of the Police Department, but I am trying to get a better understanding so that we may be benefited the public by increased co-operation and the police by greater efficiency. the marvelous progress that is ours where we have surpassed the achievements of all time and all nation in those things that bring to us the comforts and necessities of life: our automobiles, electricity, transportation systems, magnificent buildings, and those hundreds of other things that we now enjoy, and which has cost and is costing many millions of dollars annually, are here because the men behind them had the confidence in our form of Government. They believed that the constituted authorities would preserve law and order, and with that belief they worked and invested with the result that the great achievements before mentioned are now enjoyed by all. To continue forward in this great march of progress the public must have confidence in constituted authority, and so it is the duty of all citizens to fully co-operate with the law and order agency to the end that we will have a people who know and trust their officials. While the enforcement of criminal law is the greater part of the police officers' duty, there are many acts of service which come within his province, and the faithful performance of those things greatly increase his value to the community. With love for home and country and with confidence and respect for constituted authority, let us all work together for continued progress, having uppermost in our minds the thought of making this a better place in which to carry on our various proper vocations, a better place to rear our children, and a better place in which to live; and co-operation is absolutely necessary to bring about that condition. Assuring all that every man in this Police Division stands ready to rend- er service of the highest order, they join with me in thanking the residents of this district for that splendid support and co-operation which we have received in the past, and expressing to you all the season's greetings, I remain. Respectfully yours, L. L. McCLART, Captain Commanding Newton Division. A YEAR OF CO-OPERATION By James E. Davis, Chief of Police. The Los Angeles Police Department has good cause to celebrate thanksgiving this year, for during the past twelve months it has obtained a very high degree of efficiency and has won the friendship and co-operation of all good citizens. While the department has not increased in numbers it has been so thoroughly reorganized as to divide and bureaucracy, division and bureaucracy, and the right system of inspections has given its members an improved appearance that has attracted generally favorable comment. Despite the fact that New York, Chicago, Detroit and many other eastern cities have suffered from disastrous crime waves, Los Angeles has been fortunate in this respect and there has actually been no increase in crime proportionate to the increase in population here. The favorable conditions in our city are equally attributable to the increased efficiency of the police and the aplid measure of co-operation given by this general public. It is becoming more and more apparent that the citizens realize that they have an obligation to the police department as much as the latter has an obligation to them, and this condition has not failed to bring the desired results. In our city we are also fortunate in avoiding class or racial conflicts such as have disgrieved many municipalities; and we have adopted the very sensible view that race, creed or color has very little to do with the crime problem. Law breakers are about evenly distributed in proportion to population, in every community and --- wherever we find a region or district requiring a great deal of police attention it is quite certain that the municipality as a whole is deserving of blame. Law breakers congregate in any district where they will find kindred spirits and where there is an appearance of laxity on the part of law enforcement officers, and such conditions often exist in the most exclusive residential districts as well as in the less prosperous parts of the community. It is my belief that Los Angeles as a city is showing marked progress in every regard and our crime charts indicate that the permanent residents of Los Angeles average very high in their respect for law and order. Our chief problem this winter will be to keep out this city the hordes of gunsters and gun men who may be driven out of our cities during the intensive warfare conducted against them at this time, and who may seek the benefits of our pleasant climate and opportunities to prey upon the thousands of wealthy tourists who come here for recreation. The police force is now so organized that its members can be counted upon to quickly overcome any gangs of criminals who seek to make this city their headquarters. Our record during the past year indicates that in any encounter between policemen and gun men the forces of law and order will inevitably triumph. 5 What's that? We could hardly believe our eyes! But there it was right over the door as we walked by way of curiosity into the Wonder, Waffle and Coffee House, at 1310 E. 12th St. For yes, verily, veryly, many are the times we have tipped when we could not spare it, or would like to have, but couldn't, but that saves us of any feelings on the matter for there we are welcome without it. Looking around we noticed that the fixtures were brand new, and as high-priced as those in use down town, the service quick and courteous and the prices so low that it is cheaper to eat there than at home. Mr. Watkins, and Mr. Bennett have been only open a few days, but needless to say, they will draw many to this unique Waffle House, at 1310 East 12th St.
