1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1926 VOLUME 40 Citizens To Honor Capt Wm. Glenn at Banquet GALA AFFAIR TO BE STAGE ED AT BRONX PALM GARDEN TUESDAY EVENING RETIRING DETECTIVE A FAVOR PIE OF ALL LOS ANGELES' BETTER CITIZENS The combined Negro Press assisted by the Police and Fire Department of this city will signify honor Capt. Wm. Glenn on next Tuesday evening; January 11th at the Palm Garden of the Bronx Hotel. The affair is sponsored by the California Eagle, The New Age-Dispatch and the Pacific Defender, who feel that the record made merits most highly any honor which can be bestowed upon this officer who has made history for the race and whose record has been such as to receive the highest commendation of all the police officials, high and low, as well as the people at large. To attain a Captain's rank over the many obstacles which had to be encountered is indeed a feat worthy of the recognition which Captain Glenn has received. It is in this spirit that the combined Negro Press of the city calls upon the people to turn out in large numbers on next Tuesday to express their appreciation for a service that the three papers join in to sponsor a public reception in his honor. A short, snappy program will be rendered in which high city officials will participate including Mayor Geo. E. Criver, Chief of Police Davis, Captain McClarev, Judge W. D. McConnell, Judge James Pope, Fire Chief Scott, Lieut. W. L. Stevens (retired), and others. Participating further will be Policeman, Mrs. Georgia Robinson, W. O. Tyler, Rev. A. P. Shaw, Father Cleghorn, Deputy Sheriff J. B. Loving, Clara C. Hulbert, Mrs. Lulu Slaughter, Dr. H. C. Hudson, Noah D. Thompson, L. G. Robinson, Hugh E. Macbeth, Lieutenants Jesse Klimbough and Chas. S. Brody. The following have been asked to serve on the Reception Committee for this history making occasion. The ceremonies will begin at 9 P. M. At its conclusion those who care to may partake in the Reception Dance to the strains of music furnished by the far famed Palm Garden Orchestra which will also furnish the music throughout the evening. To assist the newspapers in paying the expense of this affair a nominal charge of 50c will be made at the door of Palm Garden. RECEPTION COMMITTEE Detective Bureau: Lieutenants H. L. Carrott, T. G.

TO THE COLORED RACE: GREETINGS We are now on the threshold of a new year. At this period we usually naut awhile to mark time, preparatory to marching to marching. The past year has been one of infinite incertitudes. Racial events, like Caesar's river, have moved with such incredible slowness that one can hardly tell whether they have been going forward or backward. Each individual and each organization has plodded its weary way and pursued its favorite fantom. Our larger movements have not moved perceptibly. We can hardly tell whether they have been progressive, stationary or retrograde. They have been carrying out the program rather than carrying up the work. The ministers of the gospel have filled the pulpits with fidelity and have proclaimed the truth as the mark of their high calling requires. But it has fallen for much part on deaf ears and dead hearts. There has been little fresh impulse towards righteousness. There has been no great quickening of the conscience or fresh enthusiasm for the salivation of men on the heavenly side. The churcher have hardly held their own in the dual with the devil. The mind of the race, especially the younger generation, has not been moved to Godward. The grosser pleasure of the flesh have chilled the higher and holier joys of the spirit. The school teachers have been holding class and hearing lessons. They have proceeded with conscious satisfaction on of things pedagogical as they are now ordained, unconscious of the fact that the educational regime is at the parting of the ways. The only worthwhile end of education is inspiration, not information. The letter killeth; the spirit maketh alive. It is but an observation on not a criticism, much less a reflection upon the educational fraternity to say that, on the whole, it has been mimicking the form rather than emulating the spiritual aim of educational standards. Our higher education has been augmenting in quantity rather than intensifying in its stimulation of the intellectual, moral and spiritual energies. There have been internal movements and mutterings in our higher institutions of learning, of whose forebodings we are not yet quite sure. The outcome is in issue, with our hopes and fears struggling for the ascendency. In the economic domain, we have been marking time. An increased number of the race has been employed at good wages. Home ownership has been increased. Small business have sprung up and are operating with unnoticed success. But there has been little indication of fresh business energy or enterprise. The lamentable failure of some of our most boasted undertakings a year or so ago has dampened the ardor and chilled the spirit, if it has not cut the nerve of concerted business projects. The political movement has been decidedly retrograded. If the Negro is not convinced that he counts as a cypher in the political reckoning, he must be opaque to the point of obtuseness. To cap the climax, the President has just affixed his signature to a measure designed to wipe out the last vestige of political control on the part of the race. On the face of the enactment the provision is ethically praiseworthy. An office holder should not be placed under tribute, directly or indirectly, by those who manipulate the political machine. But as ex-Secretary Slemp is well aware, it is impossible to operate Southern Republican politics without placing the expectant as well as the rewarded office holder under tribute. The effect of this measure will be to eliminate every Negro from the slightest semblance of political leadership. Perry Howard and Ben Davis are the last of the Mohicans. However, the past year has demonstrated one clear political preposition. The race need look no longer to any party for political salvation. For this at least we may be thankful; for the crafty politician cannot hope to dupe the race in the future as he has done with repeated success in the past, with deceptive hope in the triumph of any (Continued on page 6) A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL Retiring Captain of Detectives Presented Diamond Studded Badge THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN IS SUPPORTING A PROGRAM FOR HOME-OWNED MEN.

LOS ANGELES, CALI. JANUARY 7, 1927 GOLDEN STATE AGENTS PROMOTED GOLDEN STATE AGENTS PROMOTED The promotion of three men from the ranks of agents to superintendents and assistant superintendents is just the beginning of a big problem for growth and expansion, according to the Director of Agencies of the Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company, Mr. George A. Beavers, Jr. Mr. B. N. Hunigan formerly of Wichita, Kansas, and who has made an enviable record with the Golden State has been made superintendent of the Oakland District. He will succeed Mr. E. J. Johnson who has done remarkable work in building up business in the northern city. Evidence of the popularity of Mr. Hunigan was shown in the hearty greetin gand cheers given him by h's co-workers on last Tuesday evening at the residence of the President of the Company, Mr. Wm. Nickerson, Jr. Mr. Hunigan during the time he has been connected with the Golden State staff, has made many friends and although they are sorry to see him leave Los Angeles, they rejoice in the fact that he has received a pro- Friday, December 31st, was the history making event in the police annals of the city of Los Angeles and of special interest to the members of the Colored race. Sweeping every obstacle from his path toward the top, Capt. W. M. Glenn had reached the climax of his career and was retired with distinguished honors and left behind him a career that others might emulate in the future days to come. At the appointed hour, 1:30 P. M., on Friday, December 31st, a vast group of people gathered in the assembly room of Newton Street Police Stat on where the ceremony incident to his retirement and the presentation of the gold diamond studded badge, which was a contribution of his fellow officers and the citizens in general was to be presented and pinned upon him. The audience consisted of high police officers, his fellow officers and prominent citizens from all walks of life. With Lieut. Jessie Kimbrough acting as master of ceremonies the meeting was called to order and Capt. L. McClary was introduced to make a speech of presentation and to pin upon the breast of Capt. Glenn the insignia in honor of the great police power of the city of Los Angeles. The high esteem in which he was held, by the citizens contributed to the success of the occasion. Before presenting Captain Glenn with the badge, Capt. L. McClary, Commander of the Newtown Street Station, made a very forceful, logical, and pleasing address in which he vividly portrayed the life of the faithful officer of the police department, the way in which he passed the dangers and of the thieves which came up before the business as it lay, proceed upon their way, and complemented in the higher degree upon the efficiency and integrity of Captain Glenn. Speaking further, he said, "I congratulate you upon your success, because you have gained it in spite of the obstacle of your color. We might as well admit it and we all know that you and your group have a harder road to travel because of your color, than those of my own group." At the conclusion of this very appropriate and eloquent addres, the badge spoken of was pinned upon his breast amid the applause of the throng there gathered. Capt. Glenn was then called upon for a response and while he responded with tears and with voice quivering he responded in words befitting the occasion and spoke of the loyal support which he had received from members of the department and the force. His speech was short but to the point and was appreciated by all who heard it. At this juncture, the Master of Ceremonies, called upon J. B. Bass, Editor of the California Eagle, to make a response to the speech delivered by Capt. McClary; and in a few well chosen remarks he congratulated Capt. McClary for his most unusual and splendid address, and Capt. Glenn for his most successful administration and cited the fact that this occasion indeed made history not only for Los Angeles but for the entire country. Mr. Bass further stated that inasmuch as a member of our group had achieved such success on this occasion we had in our presence a distinguished leader from the East in the person of W. G. Matthews of Boston, Asst. Atty. General of the United States and that nothing would be more in order than to have him at this time to make a few remarks on this history making event. Amid great applause, Mr. Matthews arose and spoke in high terms of the great achievement of Capt Glenn and said that it was the happiest moment of his life to be present on this occasion and that the East and all sections of the country should emulate the example as set by Capt. Glenn. At the conclusion of this address, Capt. Glenn and Capt. McClary posed for pictures and the meeting was adjourned to another section of the room where Lieut C. S. Broady and Lieut Jessie Kimbrough had prepared refreshments galore and served everyone present. Too much commendation cannot be given to these faithful officers to ruthen efforts in making the arrangements for the success of this occasion. Prominently seated upon the platform was Lieut Stevens who was only a few months retired with high honors from the force. [Image of a man with a bald head and a serious expression.

The volume of business in Los Angeles and vicinity, which is the Home Office District, has developed to such an extent that the services of two assistant superintendents is required. Mr. Leroy A. Beavers has been appointed assistant superintendent in this district and will supervise Home Office Division No. 1. He has been with the Company since its organiza- Mr. Leroy A. Beavers tion period and has won several prizes for high production. He has also rendered excellent service as assistant Claim Adjuster. Mr. Beavers is well and favorably known and is well qualified for the new duties that have been assigned to him. The next appointment to assistant superintendency in the Home Office District was given to Mr. A. F. Carter, who will have charge of Home Office Division No. 2. Mr. Carter was formerly an agent for the Continental Casualty Company. Realizing the opportunities afforded and the greater service rendered our people by our own Golden State Insurance Company, he has made good from the start and has a record of which any insur Mr. A. F. Carter ance underwriter could be justly proud. His very pleasing personality has won for him many friends and admirers among the agents and policy-holders of this fast growing compa- Mr. W. B. Cogle, formerly President of the American Mutual Benefit Association of Houston, Texas, has been appointed General Claim Adjuster for the Company. Mr. Cogle has had many years of experience in insurance business which makes him well qualified for the position. He was widely known throughout the state of Texas and his many friends in California are glad to see him take an active part in the activities of this company that is contributing so much to the business development of our community. $2.00 THE YEAR N. A. A. C. P. To Initiate Its Stellar Program For 1927, Sunday, At A. M. E. Zion Church It will be well for all of the people of Los Angeles who are appreciative of the great services of our militant organization, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to turn out in full force to get first hand information for its big, impressive and pretentious program for the year 1927. Aside from the general plans, the program committee has provided for a strenuous year's work. Mr. Robert Whittaker will speak. Mr. Whittaker is well known for his connections with all movements which are for the uplift of all people, especially for his connection with the Reconciliation and Civil League. His he known for his ability to speak on things which will interest all people and who is for the ideas of fair play and justice. A pleasing speaker, well informed, there is no doubt that a great speech is in store for those who attend. President Hudson and his entire cabinet are busily engaged upon a program for this year's activities which will out do all previous efforts. The people are rallying most splendidly and there is no doubt that the year of 1927 will be a banner one. There never was in the history of the world, a time when an organization like the N. A. A. C. P. was more needed than in the present day. The enemies from without as well as from with'n are busily engaged in forming combinations and cliques to curtail our group, particularly of all American citizens, from engaging in full line with others under the constitution of this country. We want to urge everybody to turn out Suondy and give the year's program a rousing sendoff. 2:30 is the time and the A. M. E. Zion Church, Pico and Paloma is the place.

Achievements of Negroes in nearly all fields of activity are rewarded yearly by three separate organizations, each of which is filling a need in America and the civilized world. First and foremost is the Spingarn Medal, awarded to an American of African descent; for the most distinguished achievement during the current year or over an accumulation of years. Then comes the Amy Spingarn Prizes in literature and art, awarded each year through The Crisis Magazine. The Spingarn Medal and the Amy Spingarn Prizes grew out of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Covering practically the same field as the Amy Spingarn Prizes, the Opportunity Magazine, published by the National Urban Legue, a little over two years ago announced that awards would be made each year, and finally edited the Histoire des awards, which embrace all of the fields covered by the two previously mentioned awards, and more, and which on January 1, 1927, will have their 1st presentation. The Harmon Awards are made thru the Commission on Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. Fine Arts, science, education, literature, industry, religion, music and race relations are the fields covered by the last named awards. All these awards should have a stimulating effect on the Negro race, and spur it on to heights hitherto considered out of its grasp. Already they have shown that in attempting to stamp the Negro as a "hewer of water", a virgin field of creative ability is being trampled under foot. LOOKING BACKWARD A statement issued by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, lays the increase in lynchings to the failure of the United States Senate to take action on a federal anti-lynching bill. Mr. Johnson's statement says: "There is one excellent and reasonable explanation of the increase from 18 lynchings in 1925, to 33 in 1926. While there was threat of a federal law, with consequent jurisdiction of federal courts over this crime, the lynchers hesitated. When the United States Senate refused even to discuss the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, that was equivalent to serving notice on the lynchers that they could pursue their pastime virtually unmolested. "So far, only one lynching, and that one in Georgia, has been visited by punishment at the hands of the law. The United States refuses to discuss the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, because of the obstructionist tactics of a small group of Senators from the lynching States."

Up-To-Date Sermons PITY FORFEITED "And mine eyes shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee, and ye shall know that I am the Lord."—Ezek. 7:4. We little imagine that when we are making life hard for others, we are making it still harder. For ourselves and for our children, we seem to flatter ourselves that we have a sort of superior class of being, the special pet of God, or chance, or the divinities, or of nature, or whatever we are pleased to call the mysterious power responsible for our being here and being fel. We regard the apparently less fortunate with seem. We swagger by them with looks and manners of contempt. We stunt them away and push them with the shoulder. We don't want to give them place in the earth. We plot against them in our clubs and lodges and even in public places. We deny them public benefits. WE HATE THEM. We show it all we can. But we do not know that we are sowing the wind that we may reap the whirlwind. Then that our pride may have the wider range and flatter us the more effectively we reach up toward heaven and try to pull the living God from His throne, defy ourselves and make science our archangel. This helps us cast aside the Bible as a divine book. We can then break their bonds in sunder and cast away their cords from us. We can do away them, with religions restraint and fear, for we have no God to fear. We have ignored Him, denied Him His place in the universe and run at liberty like the wild beast of the wilderness WHAT AVAILS IT Some forget God, we deny Him. The end of it all is unpitting judgment. The sun shines through the greatest of men, and the most beautiful of women would rather live by electric light and sleep the day away. The moon shines through blind men never see it. God lives and loves and rules and shines though proud men would rather seek and live in the befouled lair of their own ungodly imaginations and pamper the wild beast in their hearts and call it all civilization and the survival of the fittest. God lives, let the fool say there is no God. Ps. 53. God lives, let the strong and proud live as they wish and in their fattery scorn their fellows and ignore Him. Ps. 73. God lives, let the foolish find fault with His church and ministry and go on unrestrained in their ungodly debauchery. GOD OF JUDGMENT God lives and for everything, secret thing or otherwise. He will bring men into judgment. Ec. 11:9; 12:18, 14. Don't think you are a special something that happened here and so you are going to escape. Brother, you are headed for judgment. You can't get out of it. There is an irresistible hand pushing you on. You don't know where you are going. You befog your own path with your foul ideas and your own ungodly notions. You have blinded your eyes, as Israel did, with your stubbornness and pride. You have alienated yourself with your wicked works (Eph. 4) from your eternal God. Israel did that too. But you are headed for judgment. It is once appointed for man to die and after death the judgment. Heb. 9:27, 28. You can't get around it. Just as surely as men die you are going to judgment. Like Israel you don't want to be Don't Fail To Hear PAUL I. PERKINS Boy Preacher Of Chicago, Now Touring The West, To Stir Los Angeles THE NEW YORK TIMES 13 year old bey Evangelist Preacher, of Chicago, Illinois. Commissioned by the National Baptist Convention, at First Baptist Church, 53rd and Holmes Avenue, Furlong Tract, Rev. A. T. Hinee, Pastor, Ten nights, beginning Friday night, December 31. 1926. 7:30 P. M. St. Paul Music Section to Give Superb Concert TUESDAY-EVE., JANUARY 11TH IS DATE FOR PRESENT-ING CHORUS AND ASSISTANTS AT 21ST AND NAOMI STS., ADMISSION 25 CTS. This is positively the last call before the big data Musicale of the season is staged in our city. If you fail to hear this Recital you will have missed the Season's greatest treats. REV. R. N. HOLT, pastor old about it. That's because you are a God. If you are a student in a school you want to know about the examination you must pass and the result of not obeying rules. That's judgment in school life. As a citizen you want to know the laws of your country and the result of breaking them. But as citizen of the universe a subject of time and eternity you don't want to know the judgment of your God. THE UNSEEN But you have never seen God. No and you had better not want to see Him till you have made peace with Him. Nor have you ever seen President Coolidge, maybe, nor the city of Washington, nor the Supreme Master of the Masonic Lodge, nor the Pope. But you have felt the influence of all these and seen the results of their existence. You have never seen God. Well, seek Him and you will find Him. And you will find Him worth your while when you do. You can make him your friend and in the day of judgment it is worth while to have made the judge your friend. You are a fool. You are going on to judgment and taking a special pains to make the judge your enemy. You must meet a court in which your own conscience and record will cry out against you. What hope have you but mey? Ever read about Venice, the Doges and the Bridge of Sighs? O brother, you are up against the secret of the Lord. You are going to judgment and are such a fool you don't want to be told about it. But you are going to judgment just the same. If you are living in sin all the secret forces in the universe are working against you. You can't get by them. Israel did not and you and I can't. Thine eyes shall not spare. There is a day of grace, and when that is past hope is lost, the soul is lost, right has fallen, eternal, doom is the sinner's portion. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE One of our readers after reading frequently in articles and ads, concerning some, myster our "Knackout" did a little sleuthing around to find out what it was all about. Being fond of the water himself and having a wife and some lovely daughters also fond of the water he broke this news to his, delighted family circle. "Get out the bathing suits from the mothballs in the old cedar chest, or get new ones by early spring for we are going to have a place where we can really use them, and by the way, Mrs. Bruce's Bathing establishment down at Manhattan will re-open after being closed two years." You may call us at the Eagle office for further information. Miss Mamie L. Pillinkton visited her cousin, the Wm. D.

The Billbrew quartette will sing and prominent speaker will take part in the exercises. Two have been chosen to turn the first spade of earth which will start the Harvey Brothers' steam shovel excavating Monday morning and the long looked for and promised building will start to rise. Sunday night at the BIG TENT, 29th and Central Ave., the Pastor of the Church, Elder P. G. Rodgers will preach on the subject of "Sault Night With A Witch" and it is hoped that the many friends who have been attending the tent services will bring someone along with them for both these services. The Pleasure Seekers entertained their friends with a dancing party last Wednesday at Christian Thursay. About 20 couples responded to their invitation and danced to the skirts of the Golden State Jazz Orchestra until about 11:30 when a deliquent buffet爪宴 was served. The greeting was then finished in dancing. Did we have a good time?? Sure thing. It was the Pleasure Seekers Party. HAZEL R. HOLMES - Pres. CARRIE D. STRIDER - Reporter.

Come or phone us Today for Confidential Arrangements on Low terms—We are at your service Absolutely Free. A PRACTICAL BUSINESS SUGGESTION We positively know of more than one hundred renters on the East and West side, some of them paying as high as $60.00 monthly to "rent a pretty house," when if these same "thoughtless renters" would only come into our office; THE WALTER L. GORDON COMPANY' is able to make a business arrangement with the owners of these "high rent houses" so that they could be bought and paid for by the same renter in monthly payments as low as $30.00 to $50.00. Again with outstretched arms, we ask—WHERE PAY RENT? A recent count shows that there are more than 50,000 Afro-Americans in Los Angeles, many of whom have lived here as "house renters" more than 20 years. Isn't that appalling? Also it is equally sad that less than 5,000 own their own homes, and more than 40,000 are still "House Renters"—WHAT DO YOU OWN? Make a start today! Phone us to call for you, or step into our office with $30.00 and buy a home.

A new pear of promise opens with opportunity for great achievement. Days, weeks and months have glided by in swift transition carrying 1926 to its tomb among the ages past. A short twelve months ago we hailed its advent with glad acclaim and with resolutions of achievement. Whether we succeeded or failed in our efforts, time, relentless tomb builder, has closed the books and opened the shining new volume of 1927. 1926 was a successful one for the G. S. C. In the realm of finance we can point with pardonable pride to the year's attainment. The old year is gone. We stand at the portals-of the new. What will its record be? To the members of the G. S. C. Club, it will be just what we make it. In the dawn of this year of promise let the members of the G. S. C. resolve to do our part in the upbuilding of the G. S. C. We are all 20-partners in this club. Our rights and our benefits are equal, also our duties. Let there be no shirkers. But let each be an ardent worker in spreading the glad tidings of success. Let's gladden the heart of our president by making 1927 the successful year in the club's history, and then celebrate our victory August 20th in honor of our Second Anniversary. Mrs. ADA. WILLIAMS, Business Manager of G. S. G. "You're NEXT" Formerly "Spark" ---BY--- G L A D Y C E GREENAWAY Whew! Well the holidays are at last over and while it was fun while it lasted, still there is much to say about its ending. Everyone's countenance is long and sad—evidently thinking about that old cold cash they put out. So the Merry Makers defeated the N. N. B's. Ah, hal The N. N. B's are a game team and really worked hard. We ought to sing, 'All hail the Conquering Heroes come', for the Merry Makers. We wonder if Woodson, from Wickliffe Manor, Hollywood, received the moustache cup which we heard was to be given him Christmas. This kind of cup can laso be utilized as a coffee cup in emergencies. Of all the sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are there: "It's seven o'clock—time to get up." Our current fairytale: Once there was a teacher who was as well known as a football coach. This week's all day sucker goes to the goof who thinks the following poem ought to get the $50,000. I lost m ypet canary yesterday And soon a fluttering I heard, He flew right out of my ink bottle Bye, bye, blarkbird! In case the above poem is too deep for you the author offers this as a back-to-nature theme: A mosquito flew down from the East Right hungry was he for a feast, But the place where he lit, He didn't quite fit, For the neck of a fat man is creased. We wonder who is the little Poly girl whom Lay Simmons goes to see? Marvin Johnson says that women were made before mirrors and they have kept in front of them ever since. Speaking of Marvin reminds us of the cutie who thought Marvin's eyes were so-o-o pretty. He, he, Marvin! The Girl Reserves are planning a vaudeville for the early part of February. This vaudeville is part of the year's program and will be looked forward to by an eager public. The girls are also practicing baseball and hope to have a crack team. We wonder if, while staging a little playlet called "Lead Kindly Light" Haven Johnson would hold the torch for Kenneth? Answer by air mail. Don't forget to attend "Ye Collegiate Hop" January 8th. The Kappa Alpha Psi is giving it at the Newman Club and these "rising young folks" will give you more than your money's worth. Louis Rosser will be there, girls. 'Snuff. Station G. T.

Stumped toes and blistered heels are the results. The last meeting of the Bachelor Girls Club was held at the home of Miss Mary Hamilton. The feature of the evening was "A Question Box".

H. WEBB, President. By: H. L. A visit to Major J. R. Loving's office in the new county jail where he is chief inspector, is a revelation. From ceiling to floor the walls are covered by great oil paintings, crayon drawings and portraits all done by the hands of men and women who have for some reason or other fallen into the iron hands of the law. But Major Loving by his quiet insight has tempered this iron hand so as to encourage the growth of the artistic talent some of the unfortunate occupants of the great Bastille have in subservience, so that with ready response to human kindness and friendly interest the latent desire for expression and achievement that lies even beneath the surface of the art's soul springs into being. Prison walls are forgotten, resentment at the law is lessened, and gladly, eagerly, the slightly privileged prisoner grasps improvised, palette or sculptor's board and pictures the light of his own letter being on canvass and in clay or other substance. Groping Hands! Have you ever in tramping over a rocky mountain-side spied a little plant that has taken root and struggled up between the rocks, its little tendrils reaching toward the sun. If the hobnail heel of oppression, the biting lash of scorn does not crush and destroy the latent talent that lies dormant in many who though not wholly bad, have sinned against the conventions, then like the plant they will after all find real womanhood and manhood with groping hands. So the Major's office is a veritable art gallery and museum. There high on the wall is a large realistic oil painting of Joan of Arc on the march. Another of her at the stake with the red-tongued flames just beginning to reach for her inspired body. There a life-size painting of the minute-men in battle with the British soldier, and there "Peter the Hermit" being led to the Papal throne. A German artist is drawing a large picture of a Spanish monastery in colored crayons, also a grove of California eucalypt trees. All around on table and pedestals are many articles of handwork, wood carvings in bottles, statues, furniture, etc. and a small realistic scaffold with guards and priest standing around the prisoner who drops through the door when the trap is sprung. The crayon artist mentioned above is also a poet and author, and expressive of the gratitude for kindness and the desire for expression which keeps them stopping through the shadows of manip and misfortune. 5% to 7% GUARANTEED INTEREST IN YOUR OWN INSTITUTION WHY TAKE LESS?

We note in this issue that the famous Montgomery Brothers, Jim and Wallace, are posted on the Honor Roll, and we ask, How come? Did the same man write both letters? In look ng further we read an aceount of one laid to rest. An ac- count of his death which was publish- ed in this clumn during the week of Octorer 22nd. But oh, so different as the ditor of The Pullman news sees fit. to call Mr. David G.

Still further, we would like to know, why there ix so little news published in the Los Angeles items about the porters.

FOR THE DAYS OF INGALLS In noting the proceedings of the United States Senate in these latter days and the brazen effrontery of the senators from the southland with their uncouth and bloodthirsty remarks, one would wish to call back the hands of time to the days of the great statesman, Senator J. Ingalls of Kansas, who, if alive, and in his place in the United States Senate, would command such respect from the southern fire eaters that they would not dare to pull off a "holier than thou" bunkum that they are forcing on the people from the floor of the United States Senate today. Ingalls, tall and erect, with a tongue that cut like a rapiper, would skin them alive and leave their hides hanging from the fence. Readers of the political history of our country can well remember the castigation which he gave Senator Vorhees of Indiana when that senator attempted to pull off the same kind of propaganda which Senators Heflin, Robinson, Pat Harrison, and other southerners pull off who are there owing to the fact that the electorate of their several states brow beat, defraud and disfranchise contrary to the constitution under which we live. It is the irony of fate that no northern senator has been produced who can take the measures of these dare devils from the southland and they go on and on unchallenged in their unlawful conduct on the floor of the United States Senate.

From the accomplishments of this great body and its continued progress along the line of helpfulness towards the colored people should be assuring to all the people and they in turn will no doubt demonstrate heir appreciation by giving the Association their unstinted support. Taking up the same line of action of its main body, our local branch in this city has continued to uphold the National branch in this bailiwick to do their utmost in supporting the National and looking after equally so, our local field of effort. With this progress the local association should have the united support of all people who stand for principles of manhood rights and the equal achievement of one tenth of the country's population. In a large measure it is not the Association's fight, it is the people's fight. The officers of the Association are merely instruments to carry on the fight for them, therefore every man and women should put on their habitiments of warfare and join in with the host who stand for justice and fair play and do all in their power in support of the program for the local organization. BETTER AND BIGGER BUSINESS Just why it is such a difficult matter to organize for their own protection status is an enigma to us. It is a question ness men should take up and find a solitary day any business worthy of the name m organizing its business in order to prod as it should. We have here in our midst sness concerns in spite of the fact of a g nation or group business. The Just why it is such a difficult matter to get our business men to organize for their own protection and to improve their status is an enigma to us. It is a question which our local business men should take up and find a solution for. In this modern day any business worthy of the name must take advantage of organizing its business in order to produce results and thrive as it should. We have here in our midst some real, genuine business concerns in spite of the fact of a general lack of organization among business men. There is not the least concern but what these same business concerns should have weathered the storm, checked up on the right side of the ledger could do ten times the amount of business which they have done with co-operative organization behind them. There are many businesses with growing opportunities to enter therein for certain and sure success, and only the lack of co-ordination and organization has prevented the exploration in these fields of efforts. Therefore, for 1927 all who stand for progress and for our group to take the same position in business as other groups, we must get together on a really unadulterated program for better and bigger business. RETIREMENT OF CAPTAIN GLENN The retirement on the last day of December of Detective Captain Wm. M. Glenn, is of great import for the reason that in his retirement the race has demonstrated by one of its members great fortitude and strength of character. It is history-making and sets a precedent in the police annals of the entire country. The incident of the Captain's retirement, brings to the forefront the fact that we have in this section broad gauged officials who have refused to close the door of opportunity in a man's face because of his color. Capt. Glenn served valiantly and well, fought and earned his spurs, went as high as it was possible for him to go and then retired in honor and glory. We are thankful for this measure of faithfulness and say to Chief Davis, to the Mayor and Board of Police Commissioners and Captain McClary, the commander of Newton Street Station, for the same. It evolved upon Capt. McClary, the commander of Newton St. Station, to function for the department at Capt. Glenn's retirement. The words spoken by him on this occasion marked him as a broad gauged American citizen who is absolutely for a square deal to all mankind and we are satisfied that we express the sentiments of all the people when we say that we appreciate to the utmost the great work which he is doing in this community on behalf of all the people.

Roberts, 18 years old, has asked the courts to undo his romance with Mrs. Martha Evans Roberts, 65 year old heiress. The youth's father also wants the court to allow his son "reasnable alimony". Roberts alleged he was coaxed into marrying the heiress by promises of a life of ease thereafter. Philadelphia—Police are looking for a hit and run driver who knocked down a woman in her yard while she was hanging clothes on the line. The fugitive truck driver, police say, apparently lost control of his car, ran on the pavement, crashed through the fence around the woman's yard and knocked her down. Chicago.—Forty-four wives out of a total of fifty-four refused their jailed husbands for Christmas gifts. One wife told the court she already was supporting herself and five children and saw no good reason for adding a husband to the list, particularly at Christmas time.

During the year our agitative organization has been striking at the hydra headed monster of race prejudice, wherever it exhibits itself. But we can one head is bruised, just fast does another gleep and deadly as the first. We can but reach the symptom, where the disease is systematic. We must, however, continue to deal with surface indications, because we are wholly unable to reach the core. The literary movement has been more or less active. Several titles have appeared of Negro authorship that give interesting and encouraging indications. The interest of the white world in the output of Negro talent is still sustained. The so-called New Negro asserts his right to the title, although it does not yet appear what he shall be. The great philanthropic movements are in a deliberate and hesitant mood. There must be a social philosophy before there can be an effective philanthropy. You must know what you are helping people for or what place they are to fill in the social scheme before philanthropy can be wisely applied. There is no clearly defined or understood race philosophy or race statementship. Why and whither is the puzzle of it all. So much for the retrospect; but what of the immediate present and the early future which we are now facing? What shall be the program for the year of our Lord, nineteen twenty-seven? Let each individual and organization continue the work to which it is already committed, with renewed zeal and determination. All of these projected lines of endeavor are helpful in their several spheres. No one ANGELUS FOREAL HOME 1030 E. JEFFERSON ST. PHONE: HUMBOLT 1844 L. G. ROBINSON E. G.

There is no likelihood of any radical departure from established and existing ways during the ensuing year. No new or exciting reform is now in sight. Let everyone perform his accustomed task with sharpened race consciousness and a keener zest to serve the racial weal. There is, however, one common sense, common place, moral movement which should engage the interest and the energy of every Negro of light and leading. The cause of prohibition promises more beneficial results for the race than any other movement which is ready to hand and easy to espouse. It yields great political advantage. The old line parties are split in twain. The Eastern Republicans are wet; their Western co-partizans are dry. The Southern Democrats are dry; their Northern confederates are wet. The politician deals, in only one commodity—votes. The essence of political ethics is success. If the Negro will stand by the 18th Amendment with unfinishing firmness. he will thereby exert great influence in the political equation. The women and the Negro hold the destiny of parties in the hollow of their hand, if they will only use it wisely at this critical juncture. Political asperities, even in the South, would be greatly minified, if both races stood upon a common moral platform. The evil of lynching, of which the Negro so bitterly and so justly complains, is closely connected with the liquor- evil. The decline of lynching and the abolition of liquor go hand in hand. The inrush of Negroes in the North finds easier and smoother adjustment to the new and strange environment because the handy saloon does not so quickly fan the evil passion of the rougher element of both races. If we want the nation to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment, let us show our consistency by upholding the Eighteenth Amendment. Up to the present time, the Negro has shown little enthusiasm for the cause of prohibition. There has been LOS ANGELES little manifested ardor for the Eighteenth Amendment. Negro newspapers have not as a rule, insisted upon this racial policy. Even our ministers and churches have seemed to be lukewarm, both as touching the moral and political aspects of prohibition. The Y. M. C. A. is not on record for ardent advocacy of this law of temperance and righteousness. The Negro politician on the whole has been indifferent, if not disposed to the side of wetness. They have loked upon the issue from a purely political angle, wholly unmindful of the maize of moral inconsistency in which they entangle themselves. I call upon every upstanding and right-minded Negro in the land to take a New Year Resolution: "I will observe the Eighteenth Amendment and will encourage others to do likewise. I will vote for no man or party that does not favor the enforcement of the Eighteenth, as the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, without equivocation or evasion." KELLY MILLER.

Just take it down from where you pin it in your hat-band and read it when you need it most. So be careful.

There's a name that will draw a crowd anywhere, not only in this country but in the whole world. And it will draw a capacity crowd to Wrigley Field on January 22nd for Dick Donald's big show and the biggest of the year in the West. With all the bad luck that the amiable Dick has had this season, he, after all, has the choice plum that all the other promoters would be glad to have. Against Flowers he has matched Leo Lomski, the great fighter who is sure to give Flowers the battle of his Lomski had somewhat the same experience New Year's day Lomski had somewn that came to his opponent when robbed of his middleweight championship in Chicago. Lomski fought Joe Anderson in Portland, New Year's Day, fleared him twice and had him out on his feet a half dozen times yet the Befaree gave the decision to Anderson. This will not hurt his drawing power for everyone knows he can fight and will aim to beat the Tiger as well as clinch the title before the winner beats the champion. winning Something unprecedented is happening in the annals of sportdom from the fact that already many inquiries have been made for seats by people high in church circles who do not make a practice of attending Boxing Contests. This is due to the fact that Flowers, the "Georgia Deacon" is a great church worker, a clean cut, quiet gentleman and a real family man. His thousands of The year just, ended has been the most surprising year in history in the realm of Sports. 1926 was a harrowing one for champions, notably the titleholders in the various classes of boxing. Tod Morgan of Seattle, Waiki, junior lightweight; Fidel Le Barra of Los Angeles, Calif., swineweight, and Charley (Filipa) Rosenberg of New York, bantamweight, being the sole survivors of the nine who topped the lists in 1926. Any lower of boxing who failed to be out to the Main Street A. C., Saturday night, missed seeing the Entry in the local field of a real fighter. And he is none other than the new colored welterweight from Denver, "Hamilton" (Ham) Jenkins. Stacked up against Dick Green, the hard-hitting Long Beach pugilist, who has a nice string of victories to his credit—"Ham" had a real tryout. But he came out of the six-round 10 "HAM" JENKINS Who made a hit with his victory over Dick Green, Saturday ship of "Big Three"; Sam Houston College won Texas championship in the Southern Atlantic Conference. SWIMMING Georges Michel hold the world's record for swimming the English Channel. His time was 11 hours and 6 minutes. WRESTLING Joe Stecher retained his title as heavyweight champion of the world. HOME RUNS Babe Ruth is the undisputed home run king and is now in te city autodraphing baseballs. RUNNING Clarence De Mar of Boston is the champion marathon runner. BILLIARDS Jake Schafer beat Edward Horemans, Belgian, at Chicago for the 18.2 balkline billiards championship. HORSE RACES Scapa Flow, son of Man-O-Wer is the horse that won the Futurity and championship of money winners among the two year old. The Futurity purse was $66,000. BICYCLE RACING McNamara of Australia, and Linari of Italy won the 41st annual six-day bicycle race in N. Y. and championship of cycling teams. The year has been very unfortunate for top-notch colored boxers. Tiger Flowers, middle-weight king and only-colored taupon in any class lost to Walker; Chick Stugge and Dainny Edwards were both beaten and received setbacks. Out on the Coast here, where there was a larger number of first chass colored boxers than anywhere in the country, bad luck came also to Young Jack Thompson, Baby Joe Gans, Young Sam Langford, Geo. Godfrey, Young Harry Wills and Sailor Larry, all receiving setbacks for one reason or another. But all of them especially Young Jack Thompson bid fair to climb back within the present year. To our idea a boxer who can come out of a tight place when in danger, make the other fellow miss, and then when he lands a good blow be on the job to follow it up fast with more, is a good boxer. And that is what Jenkins excels in. From the first round he shot hard, straight left to Green's body, soon taking the starch out of him, then shooting hard rights to the head as Green would rock back on his heels or fall into the ropes Ham would be right on him shooting lefts and rights. Green fought back well, but Jenkins always managed to escape without harm. Only Green's toughness saved him from a knockout, he going to the floor on one knee in the fifth and half through the ropes in the third and fourth. Ham's clean, careful work was seen and commented on by several sport writers, and boxing experts and all agreed on the same score that he really can fight. In the four-round opener Danny Solis beat Carl Bernet; second bout Joe Reinbandt beat Tommy Hoss; third, Reginald Aguazo beat Henry Carillo, a tough, game boy who is green but will be good with training and Benny Furrel fought George Lopez to a rattling good draw.

Both enjoying the warmth and cheery glow of an open hearth soon become reminiscent and talitative—especially our friend Wheaton. They first discuss the topics of the day, mentioning the Rhinelander-Jones marriage and the statistics compiled by a Virginia Circuit Court judge and his doubt as to the average Caucasian proving the absence of other than Caucasian blood in his ancestry Swinging abruptly from this general discussion. Wheaton decides to tell me a story told to him by his grandfather, a slave, and which I decided to reproduce. * * * * * * * Death stalked about on that night, and the storm seemed the fiercest yet in that section. Melvie Gradley lay dead upstairs in the "Big House" with a bullet through his brain, the work of an assassin in the cornbrake. _Angie May, daughter of "Mummy", a wife of only a year and that night a mother, dies in the quarters. _Missus upstairs also gives birth that night to a baby, which, when brought to "Mammy" she discovers is dead. "Mammy" has a trying moment deciding whether to tell Missus the truth and probably kill her as she is dreadfully weak and worried over Melville not returning (his death being carefully kept from her), or whether to switch Angie's live baby for Missus' dead baby? _She does the latter, carrying Angie's crying baby upstairs to the little weeping mother, and returning downstairs to inform Jim, Angie's husband, of his dead son. The following day Angie May is buried with her supposed baby clasped close to her bosom cold in death. PART II. Miss Sammantha Porter, a distant relative of Mrs. Mel Gradley, lived with her nephew and his family some twenty miles from the Gradley plantation. She was called "po' relashun" by the Gradley slaves, who, however, did by no means dislike her, no doubt owing to the fact that Miss Sammantha adored Mel Gradley. Mel was at that time a handsome boy of sixteen years. Hiss cheeks glowed with health, brown eyes sparkled with mischief and fun, his beautiful brown curls were brushed back from a broad, intelligent brow. Miss Samatha frequently used Mel's many achievements to spur her somewhat supine nephews, to greater effort in their classes. On this particular afternoon of which I write, she was seated in the most comfortable chair in the sitting room, knitting genteelly, with mits on her knuckly fingers, giving advice to the boys, and, in their sight, making herself generally disagreeable. She had stopped to pick a knot from the yarn then continued: "Yas, Mel tuk evah prize offahed las yeah fuh the highes' scholarship. He was firs' in mathematics, spellin, history, penmanship an' rhetic. He jes swep evahthing up, tell the boad jes decided they wouldn' offah any mo' prizes; said it was jes like buyin Christmas presents about foah times a yeah fuh Mel Gradley. They got so used to givin' the prizes to Mel, that they wouldn' buy anything that wasn' suitable fuh a boy. Once somebody did sugges' buyin a lovely sewin' basket fuh the spellin' prize, but Len Brackett's wife jes got right up at the boad metin' and said: "Whut in the name a' Gawd would Mel Gradley do with a sewin' basket?" In the late afternoon of a fine autumnal day, on the summit of a rocky mountain, a lone little rider courageously sat on a spotted pony. Then carefully down the mountainside they came. As they neared the bottom, a shot rang out sharply. The pony reared suddenly, throwing its youthful rider and plunging into the thicket was lost to sight. Ethel Cartwright lay at the bottom of the gully, her yellow curls spread about her small head like a halo. Her left limb was twisted bensath her body, the pain sickened her. She looked up at the sinking sun; soon the shades of evening would fall, then came the realization that she would be lying alone in the woods and helpless. Again she heard a shot, it seemed nearer. With a well nigh exhausting effort she raised herself slightly and called: Ye hoo, Ye hoo, Ye hoo, Help, H - e - l - p ! How loud her cry seemed, it echoed, and then came an answer: Ye hoo, Ye hoo, call again! I'm coming, help, help, coming! Ethel called again then waited. Mel Gradley ran to his horse, untied him, sprang into the saddle and whistling the hounds, dashed up he ravine, through the glade, under the chestnuts, maples and sweet gums that formed a green, red and gold canopy over his head. Then on to the top and down into the gully. Ethel, propped up in bed with numerous pillows about her, looked up eagerly as Aunt Sally trudged into the room. "Oh 'Mammy', called Ethel, what have you there?" Aunt Sally tossed her head and remarked that she did not suppose her little mistress could guess what was in the basket, or from whom the basket had come. But the girl persisted, "Did Mel send it?" For Mel had sent something every day since the accident had occurred. Sally opened the basket, a sleek hound pup wiggled out. "Oh you darling," cried Ethel, "you shall have a bone." When Mrs. Cartwright came into the room a few minutes later, and saw the pup with a greasy bone on the spotless counterpane, she ordered Sally to remove it at once. The pup objected, and when Sally persisted, growled. "Take my tray too, Mammy," said Ethel. Sally gathered up the remains of Ethel's lunch, and again attempted to take the pups bone, and then, to Ethel's amusement, the pup snapped at Sally's fingers. "Oh you spunky little love, laughed Ethel, I shall call you Defiance." And the pup ever after was called by that name. For more than seventy years a feud had existed between the Cartwrights and Gradleys. It had lived and thrived with all the fierce and bitter unreason that marks hereditary hostilities. When Mrs. Cartwright had given birth to Ethel, little more than twelve years before, she had been thankful that the child was a girl. "The hand of God had intervened," she had told her husband. For some reason he had not seen fit to argue the point. Four years before Ethel's birth, in a great white mansion on the Gradley plantation, a boy had been born, son of Melville Gradley. That same night Melville Gradley had been shot while hunting in a cane brake. Before dark he had lost two ducks in the brake, and later just at duak had gone into the brake, with his dog, to recever them. That night Huntington Cartwright, a neighbor, had returned home somewhat the worse for liquor. He had in his possession a revolver, one chamber of which was empty. Head wagged, likewise tongues, but both families had been prominent, and while the slaves still remembered and whispered, others seemed to have forget- HUmbolt 7167 HUmbolt 7267 DR. L.

Boxing Commission Says No More Hand-Shaking Shaking of hands during the progress of a static bout is no longer permissable in New York. Hereafter the boys will confine their hand-shaking to the fleeting touching of mitts just before the opening, gong sounds and that even more fleeting gesture at the start of the final round.

Among our own girls we have Miss Isadore Channels of Chicago, who captured the Ladies National Singles Championship by defeating Miss Ballard of Philadelphia, ex-Ladies Champion, in the National Colored eTennis Tournament which was held, in St. Louis last year. Miss Ballard, formerly champion, now holds second place. Our own Julieta took fourth place after a hard fought game with Miss Ballard, score being, 3-6, 6-4, in favor of the latter. We are indeed very proud of her. Coming back to the coast, Juliaette still remains undefended as Ladies Champion of the coast. Geneva Stocks took second place by defeating Cora Lee in the Labor Day Tournament of '26. Who knows how this line up will be at the end of this year? It might be well to add here, that the girls in L. A. have advanced quite a bit in the last year along athletic lines. It might well be remembered by those who were present at the last Annual Brookside Park Picnic. A well, rounded hase ball game played by two organized girls baseball teams in front of many enthusiastic spectators. The girls have taken more of an interest in swimming and have even gone so far as organizing a girls' football team. With the enthusiasm that the girls have now, how can any one put a limit to what they will accomplish this year in different lines of athletics. We only hope that our Sunkissed majens will line up to our expectations. If so, our Eastern sisters will have a plenty to worry about. Suzanne Lenglen is still the undisputed woman tennis champion of the world. Helen Wills, the great California girl, was forced to default her title as woman's Tennis Champion by illness, the championship returning to Mrs. Mola Mallory. Gertrude Ederle was the first woman to swim the English Channel. Mrs. Clementine Corson was the second American woman to conquer the channel. Clarabelle Barret holds the long distance and endurance swimming championship. Arleen Riggin Metropolitan A. AU is the senior faney diving champion. Tuskegee Sentatte Looks Praising Tuskegee Inst., Ala., Jan. A. (By the Associate Hall, Paula). The Tuskegee golf ball baseball team which began wrestle on November 14, gives promise of being one of the strongest door teams that Coach Roberts has ever developed. Among her players who are familiar with the game are Fidelia Adams, captain; Dorothy Dy Gordon, guard; Hattie Lindsay, for- ward; Bessie McGullough, forward; Rosa Tudlock, guard; Velma Lee, guard; Dorothy Doyle, center; Amela Platt, center; Elmora Phillips, guard; and Ruth Hill, forward. Among the new girls who give promise of developing into valuable players are Bloes Burch, forward of Littleton, Arkansas; Miss Burch is a fast, door girl, a good passer and an excellent shot at the basket. Theresa Adams, guard, sister of Fidelia Atanas, captain, and Charles P. Adama, guard at the Crisman Tiger football team, shows exertionally good form. Elizabeth Phillips, forward of Bowwick, Georgia; Robert asten, forward; Woman, Arkansas; Marie Clark, Boston Class; Catherine Roberts, Hammus Brooks, Candie Perry The College sextile shows promise of a splendid combination. Since practice began the team has shown steadily impressive and nothing less than a good showing is expected. The schedule calls for games with the Columbia, Georgia, Y. M. C. A. Clark University, Talladega College, and Calhoun Colored School of Calhoun, Alabama. Assisting Mrs. Roberts with the Tufts team as Miss Kariela Galloway, of Indianapolis, Indiana. It was twilight, and the day was nearly done. Soon the stars each appeared upon their silvery thrones to rule the night. I listened for the sound of the birds or the voices of some small child. I heard neither. Darkness hovered over the land, and all was quiet, and still. The birds had hushed their singing, and had down to their nests in the tree tops. The small children had ceased to play, and gone home to their mothers. I was alone in the garden. I wondered through the garden amid the roses, and the violets until I found a rzrarle seat placed there by the hands of God, beneath the statue of Peter Pan. The sweet summer breeze brought back to me a thousand memories and a thousand fragrant scents. I lifted my eyes upward toward the heavens, and thanked the God who gave to the roses, the violets, and the garden. I heard the sound of clear sparkling water in a nearby fountain. I drank in the beauty of the night, and feasted my soul upon its fragrance. How long I lingered there in the garden of blissful memories I know no. Suddenly as if from out of the depths of the sea, I heard the sound of sweet music. The music was strange, restless, and pleading. It would linger for a moment and then it seemed to lead me on through the valleys and over hills and then it held me there, entranced by its beauty and strangeness. Only those blessed with the opportunity of hearing the old Negro songs, and spirituals can express their irresistible charm. God alone knows how old these songs are, or from what distant source they sprang. These pleading, and restless songs of our forefathers. The young Negro of this busy age, does not take time to appreciate their rare gift handed down to us from our fore parents who suffered and toiled much. They expressed their hardships, their burdens, their weariness, their restlessness, in song and gave to the world their last precious gift, to remind us lest we forge. (For The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., Jan. 4—Mrs. Rosie Scott is dead from a fractured skull received when her husband heaved a brick at her while under the influence of liquor following a bitter quarrel. New Year Greetings From Lafayette The classes for adults are beginning again after the holidays. The party at the close of school in December was a great success. Nine members of the Vocational Cooking Class received certificates for the completion of the first part of the work in that course. Twenty hours of attendance are required for the issuing of certificates for each part of the work. The class in Vocational Cooking Part II, begins on Tuesday of this week. Anyone may enter now and receive a certificate for this part if the work done is satisfactory whether a certificate for Part I was received or not. The Thursday class is very full because on that day many who are out to serve are able to come but there is plenty of room in the Tuesday class. If you continue to have as large classes on Thursday, we may divide the class and have two sections on that day. For the present, our schedule follows: LaFayette Junior High School 1515 E. 14th St. WESTMORE 8464 Vocational Cooking Fues. 2 to 4 p. m.
