1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1927
Tuesday, July 5th in the courtroom of Judge Craig, a throng of people had gathered to hear the proceedings of the trial of Mose Sheffield and Frank Randolph charged with the murder of Sam Faulkner on the evening of April 24th. The ball outside of the courtroom was packed with people trying to gain admittance to the room. A barrier was erected and heavily deputy sheriff stationed around to keep the crowd away from the door, and although hundreds could not gain admittance, they stayed in the corridors waiting for the least bit of news available.

Deputy District Attorney E. J. Denison is the prosecuting attorney. Attorney Thomas P. White is the counsel for Sheffield, while Attorney Towson S. Grasty, who was formerly in that position, is counsel for Randolph. The jury when finally chosen, consisted of eight women and four men with two alternates.
So with Judge Craig on the bench and the courtroom crowded to every inch of its space, the trial opened with Dr. A. P. Wagner, autopsy surgeon, as the first witness.
Dr. Wagner who has held this position since 1913, give the results of his autopsy saying that bullet had entered the right side of the face, going through the brain and lodging in the back of the hand towards the left. He testified that a $38 calibre bullet killed them Pankner.
Tha'k Fred C. Cole, the deputy council politician, was called. It was then time for adjournment and Mr. Cole's testimony was deferred to Wednesday. Where it would be continued at the place of the murder.
Wednesday morning, at the home of Mrs. Clara Harris, the place of the murder, the testimony was taken, but the autopsy were shown the different rooms of the house including the one where the murder was committed. At 2 o'clock, the case was confirmed.
she said that her husband did not possess a revolver and had none on that night.
The next witness called was Mr. Faulkner, father of the deceased. After the usual taking of oath, he told of his knowledge of the case.
Q. "When were you first attracted to the noise in the front house?" There are two house on the lot—a front and rear house. Mrs. Clara Harris lived in the front, while Mr. Faulkner and family, including the deceased, lived in the rear. The murder was committed in the front house.

about it." The front house to try to see what was wrong. We tried to peek in the window off the side of the house, but the window was closed and the shade was pulled down so that we could not see anything. Still the noise continued, it sounded like the overturning of chairs or the breaking of furniture. Then we went to the front door, but it was locked and we could not get in. Going around on the opposite side of the house, then that from which we came, we noticed that a screen was off of a window in one of the bedrooms. We climbed into the room and just as my son put his head around the door to say, "Hey," Sheffield shot him through the head.
Q. "What did you do then?"
SHEFFIELD TRIES TO GET FATHER
A. "I ran around to the front and saw that the door was open. I started in and just put my head in the door. Sheffield pointed a gun at me and said, "There's another one, I'm going to get him too. Then I'm dead, but I succeeded in getting away without getting hurt."
He also tilted that when he left the house; he saw his wife in the

her husband and son had left to go and investigate the noises in the front house, did she leave her home. Q. "When did you first learn of the killing of your son?" A. "When I saw my husband in the driveway and he hollered to me and said, Q. "Oh, they have killed son!" Q. "Then what did you do?"
Q. Then what do you do?
A. I went in the house through the kitchen door, my daughter Clara let me in, and said to her, 'Oh, Clara, they have killed son, and he is in here somewhere, help me find him.' I finally found him on the floor of one of the bedrooms and as I stooped over to lift his head in my arms, Mr. Shel-
field stepped on my hand and shoved a gun in my face."
She further testified that Sheffield tried to "plant" a gun by the side of her son, but Mrs. Clara Harris, noticing the act, stopped him. After only cross examining the witness, Mr. Gilbert Dickson of 1245 E. 48th St. was the next witness.
Mr. Dickson who had three weeks previous secured a job for Sam Faulkner, had come to see him and inquire as to how he was succeeding in his new position. On his entering the house, he saw three women and one man in the house beside Mrs. Harris. He sat down on the davenport and after having been there for about five minutes, he heard someone come up on the front porch. In a minute or two, without ringing the bell or even knocking, Sheffield and Randolph burst in the house from the front door. "What did you do then?"
A. I ran outside, but Mr. Randolph seeing the other man and myself running, pointed a gun at us and told us to stop. I stopped, but the other man got away. I returned to the house where I was searched by Randolph and told to sit down.
'Q. "Then what happened?'
A. Sheffield went into the kitchen and Randolph stayed in the front room by the plane. Soon, Sheffield came back and started shooting. He fired at least 5 shots in the dining room and then returned to the kitchen. An anse in the shading bench. I bit.
When asked if he had seen any liquor around the house, he stated that he did not see any liquor in the room, or anything to indicate that there had (Continued on page 20)

Thos. Johnson Featured In Big Benefit Recital
Thos. Johnson Featured In Big Benefit Recital
Thos. Johnson, the noted Negro baritone, will afford the Los Angeles music-loving public an opportunity to hear his golden voice next Thursday night at the auditorium of the Second Baptist Church, 24th and Griffith, at 8:00 P. M., when he appears in a huge benefit recital for the Bunche Scholarship fund. Mr. Johnsah is recognized as the leading Race singer of the West and has thrilled thousands of listeners in his recitals and over the radio. The noted baritone will present a varied program with a number of Negro spirituals interspersed. He will be ably assisted by two other well-known local music artists, Miss Nellie Johnson, soprano, and Mrs. Luvenia Harper-Paterson, accompanist. The program will begin promptly at 8:00.

Golden State to Hold Service at Beth Eden Temple
On July 23rd, 1925 the State of California issued a license to the Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company to do Life Endowment and Health and Accident Insurance business. This marked the beginning of the first Life Insurance Company in California to be owned and controlled by our people.
After four years of most successful practice, Attorney Lewis K. Beeks takes great pleasure in announcing to his many clients and friends the removal of his office from 1400 Central Avenue, to Suites 204, 205, and 206, Wise Men to Suites 204, 205, and 206, Central Avenue, where he feels that he can be of greater service and offer more appropriate accommodation to his reputable and fast growing clientele.
Simultaneous with the removal to his new quarters, Attorney Beeks, in appreciation for the hearty support given, has opened a branch office in So Los Angeles, formerly, Watts, at 10350 Wilmington Avenue, in the building owned by the progressive firm of Knox and Knox, restorers and builders, for which firm he will act as legal adviser and representative. Both of these moves have been effected by Attorney Beeks because he believes the stanch and genuine support he has received from the public, warrants the change, and in this manner he attempts to show his gratitude. In Attorney Beeks' office will be found a most efficient and capable young stenographer who has been with him and Attorney Calvin W. Murdock over two years, in the person of Miss Agnes Williams.
Some evidence to demonstrate the support received can be gleaned from the fact that Atty. Beeks is on the legal staff of the N. A. A. C. P, the U. B. F. & S. M. T., the California Eagle Progressive Mutual Benefit Association, the Friday Morning Club and other organizations.
Miss Elizabeth Catley of 634 E. Santa Barbara, age 19 years, and a student of the University of California, Los Angeles; was arrested by two burly officers Monday, July 4th at Manhattan Beach, because she was bathing in the ocean along with Japs, Mexicans and whites. She was kept in jail at Redondo for five hours, until a ball of $10.00 was put up. Upon leaving the water, she was hauled and jerked around by the officers and pushed into an automobile, not even given time to put on her clothes.
The following is Miss Catley's statement, as told to the California Eagle reporter: "Roberta Lee and I were visiting the Shannon girls, Willine and Brianna, and the other girls when I came remember. All of us were here at the beach, but because I dared to do what I thought was my right, I was thrown in jail and forced to remain for five hours until bail of $10 was posted for me. I wasn't even given time to put on my clothes.
Mr. Roy Hilbert, was also arrested and is out on $10 ball.
Chief Henry of Redondo protested to the Manhattan officers putting me in jail in such a manner, but they insisted. I did not go back to trial as I regarded the affair of such little importance and too, Mr. Slaughter, who put up my ball, said I should not return for trial. The real importance of the whole affair is just beginning to dawn upon me. I was the oldest girl of the bunch. There were no boys present, not even Mr. Roy Hilbert, who says he goes down every Sunday and goes-in bathing. This is the first time that he has been arrested for it."
Miss Elizabeth Catley is one of the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Catley of $34 E. Santa Barbara who have been residents of California for 24 years. Her father and brother are contractors.

To Discuss Restrictive Legislation And
Award Prizes
The Los Angeles Times recorded the facts as to the organization of five races into an interracial Christian an community to be known as Koko-kahi, near Kaneohe, on the island of Oahu. The object of the organization is to make a human demonstration that all races can live together on earth. The races represented in the new colony are Hawaiians, Japanese, Filipino, Anglo-Saxon and Korean.
Will slavery ever entirely abolished in the world is the question in the minds of many social workers of our day and time, for it is said by some authority that slavery in its old barbarous form continues to remain a part of the world's social scheme. Buying and selling of humans is one or the important problems awaiting solution in Africa. Slave trade is still carried on in the Red Sea, says the same authority.
And this reminds us very tenderly of our own condition at this time—in shackles?—No, but our narrow minds cramp for freedom, freedom from petty prejudices—freedom from the mis of deception and strife and hate and towards the other.
If we would cease to be the target at which all other races hurl their prejudices them let us get together in a great convention of understanding remembering that so long as one member of our black family is in the depths all are stained with the darkness that ennaghes them from.
Liberia, We Are Mighty
Proud Of You!
The United Press heralded the news Wednesday, July 6th that Liberia, Africa paid in full its war debt to the United States.
The minister of this small African Republic handed over to acting secretary Mills, a check for $35,000 which stood for the principal and accrued interest. And this means said the Secretary that Liberia was the first country to liquidate its obligation resulting from the world war.
ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA
Recently Alpha Kappa Alpha Security staged an artistic drama entitled "Wedding Bells" which was a credit to the young college folk who assumed the responsibility of the presentation, as well as those who acted in the several roles. The play certainly showed promise for the future, and we opine that some day when these young people are given equal opportunity in the realm of the drama; in acting and interpretation, they will surpass anything that we have today.
We are praying for the speedy recovery of our good friend, Mrs. Titus Alexander, who is recovering from a very serious automobile accident at the General Hospital.
A GOOD SYSTEM DESERVES A TRIA
On a trip East recently made by the writer he discovered that in order to get ginger ale or other drinks which he would like to drink, that drink should be shipped on to the porter on the head car of the train you had to walk at least 7 or 10 cars to reach the club car for your driving. This not only worked an old head car on the Porter, but also kept the passengers waiting an unnecessary length of time, during which time you were away from your car. Your bell might ring many times for your service, and not being answered, naturally would have a tendency to perseve the party ringing for you. After you have gone through all of these cars to get your order, you were politely told that the club car porter would serve it. Thus you are and nothing more than an errand boy for the club car porter's benefit, going back and forth like this of 9 or 10 times a day and through 10 cars each time; the passenger would do things to the age of 100 cars and all for nothing. The passengers pay the club porter the tip if there be any and the porter who has run his jeers off gets nothing but a tired feeling and maybe a bawling out from some other passenger who has been riding the bell while you have been riding the wild goose chase. Alright it from the dinner, you say. Alright you have a drinking party, the dinner soon runs out, now what must you do? The condition of which I write is on the Gold Coast Limited and is all transcontinental trains which carry a club car observation in this day and the co-operation among porters, the system that the writer thinks would be a good one to give a trial is as follows: Let the head man give his order to the porter on the car next to him; and this porter do likewise to the porter on the next car, so on and so on until the porter on the car makes it to the porter in this manner it saves the porter on the bead end from being absent from his car and also from bringing the wrath of some other passenger who should ring for him during his absence. It could be worked out very nicely if each porter on a long train would co-operate with each other. However, the writer would welcome any suggestions on this feature of the srvices from anyone that is interested.

FEEDING THE HELP
I often wonder to myself how some of these different dining car draws the look of a potter or mould in the hive when they get up the train after they have taken to eat them of the hard earned money they have to make in order to eat. The Union Pacific is one of the few roads that charge a porter and mould 70 cents for a meal. Think of all 50 cents! Where do they think the money is coming from? Many times I have seen the waiter stand up over them and make them put bread on the check, and if you didn't do it, you would not get it. Now, go around to the kitchen of any one of these diners after supper is over or any other meal is served. Much more money is thrown in the garbage than rather throw it away than give it to you. Many times it is the chef's fault. Then again it is the steward's fault. Porters do not want the Union Pacific to feed them for nothing, but when it comes to a case of throwing food away rather than give it to the help at a reasonable price is it any wonder that the help is knocking the road, instead of boosting it?
LOCKERS FOR CLOTHES
Every time a Pullman car comes out of the shop it has some new invention on it, but as yet they have not given the helpylife clothes a thought, other than to make a rule that he should not hang them in the drawing room even when not occupied. Prey tell me, Mr. Pullman Co. what harm will clothes do in the drawing room anex when the room is not occupied? It is true you have designated a shelf for the porters to put their clothes on. This would be fine if all a porter had to wear was a neck-shelf soon must make way for a soilation that a porter operating on a transcontinental train to Chicago in the winter time has an overcoat, and a suit of clothes and a pair of shoes, and a hat. Will you please he so kind as to tell me what condition you expect those clothes to be in when he makes them out of the coat, takes them out at Chicago, harring the fact that he is not running top and bottom for it he does, this clothes shelf soon must make way for a rolled-lined shelf. Now then, why not tell your mechanics to make an extra locker in the hall as you have done on some of the late type observation car. A little consideration along the clothes line will go a long way with the porters and inspectors will not have to keep writing them up for having their clothes hanging in the drawing room annex.

(Continued from page one)
been drinking. When the two officers came into the house, they didn't say that they were officers, neither did they show their badges.
Q. "What did you do after you left the house?"
A. "I went across the street and stayed a few minutes, then went to the corner, then returned to the house and by that time a crowd had gathered. I saw Brown, Beauly and Sheffield put Mrs. Harris in the patrol."
Mr. Dickson in making his testimony contradicted himself in telling me what he saw when this affair was going on. There was a table in the living room and one in the dining room. He finally made it clear that she was in the Living Room.
Miss Maud Coates of 1652 E. 60th street was then called. She in company with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Coates, a friend, Mrs. Scott, and a man whom they had "picked" up on the "Avenue," went to the home of Mrs. Harris' to make a call on the evening of the murder. After being there for a while, Mr. Dickson came in and about five minutes after he came in there was a noise on the front porch.
Q. "Then what happened?"
A. "Mrs. Scott, who was standing by the door said, 'Mrs. Harris, there is someone at the door.' Then one of the persons outside said, 'Open this door.' They then entered. My sister and I ran into the kitchen, and Shefield seeing us said, 'Don't run or I'll shoot.' He then grabbed us by the arm and brought us back."
Q. "Where was Mrs. Harris standing?"
A. "She was standing in the dining room between the fireplace and the dining table table."
At this juncture, it was time for adjournment for tunch, and the court was adjourned to continue the case this afternoon. Thursday, at 2 o'clock.
The afternoon session opened with Miss M. Coates still on the stand. She completed her testimony, telling just about the same as had those before her. The next called was her sister-in-law, Mrs. Ruth Coates.
Mrs. Coates' testimony was similar to that of her sister's. When asked if the officer said anything to Mrs. Harris, she replied:
"Randolph said to Mrs. Harris, 'You have been running this place long enough,' so which she replied, 'What do You Mean?' He did not get a chance to answer, just about this time the shooting began."
Mrs. Coates also gave the name of the "mystery" man who accompanied them to the home of Mrs. Harris and who nobody seemed to know anything about, she gave his name as Nero Curtis and said that she met him when she waited table in one of the cafes on Central.
Mrs. Clara Harris was then called. She said that after the officers arrived, Sheffield went to the kitchen and she followed him to see what he was doing. She asked him, but he failed to reply. She then returned to the dining room and in a few minutes some shots rang out.
A. "I looked around and saw that Randolph had been shot and had fallen to the floor. Randolph said "Shelf, I have been shot and I am bleeding to death, do something for me," I then said, "Now, your good friend Sheffield has shot you and I certainly wish that he had killed you." Sheffield finally found a towel with which he tied Randolph's arm."
Q. "What what happened?"
A. "I heard a knock at the kitchen door and went to open it and found my mother. She told me that father had told her that brother had been killed. I did not know it, I had heard the shots but did not know about my brother. We finally found my brother and as mother was trying to raise his head, Sheffield tried to "plant" a small gun by his side. I told him, "No, no, you can't do that, you brought that gun in with you and you will take it out." He put the gun in his right pocket. A gun was show Mrs. Harris, which she testified as being the gun which Sheffield tried to "plant" by the side of her brother.
Upon entering the house, Mrs. Harris said that Sheffield had a gun in both hands and went directly to the kitchen. Sheffield took a pitcher, water glass, funnel and milk bottle out of the house to the station after arresting her to use as evidence against her.
The court adjourned with Mrs. Harris on the stand.
It was noticed that Mr. Dickson and Miss Maud Coates did not agree in their testimony as to where Mrs. Harris was standing, when the officers came in. Both testified that positively no boater was seen or drunk and that neither went to the house for that murpure.
Officer Shewield, all during the trial remains calm and perfectly at ease. During a short information went to the rear of the courtroom, removed his coat, it being rather warm, and chinily smokes. He smiles and waves to his wife, brother and friends.
Office Randolph appears ill at ease and a trife nervous.
Born in the courtroom were Mrs. Shadbolt, wife of the officer on trial; Mr. Shadbolt, brother of the officer and his wife. The brothers are strikingly alike.

A lovely June wedding was that of Miss Olga Harris, beautiful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James R. Harris of 434 Oak Knoll Ave. and James Louis Groner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis J. Groner, Saturday evening, June 18 at the First A. M. E. Church, Pasadena, will be remembered as Pasadena of the largest social events among our group in Pasadena.
The church decorations were attractively carried out with a profession of summer flowers of pastel shades combined with greenery, large baskets of gladiolas and ferns adorned the altar, making it all a bower or beauty. It was technically and most beautifully arranged by Mrs. Daisy Barrett assisted by Mrs. Zephyr Groner and other friends. A huge arch was made to cover the whole bridal party and was twined with flowers and ferns. Cathedral candles burned on either side of the arch. Rev. J. M. Brown, pastor of the church, read the impressive ceremony.
The bride was attended by Mrs. Anna Taylor Tracey, as matron of honor looking very sweet in pale pink chiffon trimmed with gorgeous pink ostrich feathers carrying an open prayer book with streaming ribbons. Mrs. Tracy was followed by the bride's petite little cousin, Mildred Gray of Chicago as Maid of Honor in pink hand-painted taffeta. The bride's maids marched in lokolong very lovely in pastel shades of taceta. Miss Dorothy Brown of Los Angeles led the procession in pea green; Miss Marceline Gibson, in yellow; Miss Caroline Wickliffe of Hollywood in torquolese blue; Miss Elizabeth Perry of San Diego in lavender; Miss Etheter Hogan in pale green; Miss Doris Young of Los Angeles in orchid; Miss Myrell Holland in peach shade; Miss Eunice Windsor in Apricot; little Irene Berry, cousin of the groom, as flower girl was very dainty in ruffed pea green taffeta, Master T. J. Morgan as ring bearer in black velvet. The bride's maids wore silver hands on their hair. Thomas Anderson acted as best man. The ushers were as follows: Messrs. Harold Lloyd, Oliver Chatterton, Andrew Thomas and Charles Martin of Los Angeles, Lawrence Fowler, Paul Jefferson, Napoleon Simpson and George Rowland. The ushers wore buttonhole white carnations and the bride's maids carried bouquets of varigated colored sweet peas.
It was coincident that the entire bridal party were all school mates of the bride and groom.
The bride came in on the arm of her father looking very beautiful in a handsome gown of white cut velvet and chiffon appliqued with silver lined beads and rhinestones. The gown was designed and made by Mme. Doyle Nesbitt of Los Angeles. The bride wore a capet of orange blossoms and her mother's wedding vell. She carried a huge shower bouquet of white roses, orchids and lilies of the valley.
Lovely musio preceding the ceremony was furnished by Harold Brown at the organ who also played Mendelssohn's Wedding March.
Aramis Fouche sang "At Dawning" in his soft baritone voice and just before the procession, William Stoard, in his rich tenor voice sang "Until" as he never sang before. The songs were accompanied by Miss Alice Stoard at the organ.
Following the ceremony, reception was held at the home of the bride. The house was beautifully decorated with large palms and sweet peas and ferns entertwined, forming an abor-like effect for the bridal party. Then the unusual happened, when the bride went to the head of the stairs to throw her bouquet to the girls the exciting moment came when by a prearranged plan, the best man assisted by one or the stalwart and dignified ushers plecked the bride up bodily and carried her to the car where they had previously captured and carried the groom with guards surrounding the car to prevent his escape. The groom plead with them to allow the bride to go back and cut her cake but was refused. All of this happened with hundreds standing by looking on. So
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Carroll of 128 W. Wilshire Ave., have moved to 241 East Truslow avenue.

Westside Welcomes New Doctor
WONDERFUL HEALTH
PROGRAM RENDERED
On last Thursday night the Westside residents gave enthusiastic evidence of their hearts welcome to the splendid doctors who have recently opened their offices among them. A warm-hearted audience greeted each speaker at the Providence Church of 51st Pl. and Denker Ave. Dr. C. S. Diga spoke on the practical subject of "Constipation." Dr. E. B. Liddell gave clearly the influence of "Focal infections." On general diseases, Dr. O. D. Sheffield discussed in a very scholarly manner various aspects of "Nervum" and Mental Diseases. Dr Ruth Temple gave a short, pointed talk to "Mothers" which went right home to the hearts of all present. And the music! Mrs. Evelyn Turner Warren was at her beat, she rendered many of Mr. Page's original compositions and the audience was filled with delight. R enchored and re-enchored Mr. Page in his unpretentious manner accompanied Mrs. Warren and rendered wonderful instruments. A number of Dr. Ruth Temple's "most perfect, and most beautiful" babies graced the front row with their winseme presence.
The audience was charmed and defigured beyond measure to have such good health talks given absolutely free by these excellent physicians, each a specialist in their line. And the Westside people as a whole were greatly pleased to know that the four above named doctors together with Dr. R. S. Whittaker who was to have spoken on the diseases of the "Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat" are affiliated in their new Westside office practice. The Westside office affiliation does not in any way, change the Westside offices of these doctors which shall continue as before.
After the meeting the doctors thanked Rev. Hawes for the use of his church and for the splendid reception given them by the very intelligent audience present.
Watch the papers for the next public Health program by these Westside doctors.

This is the age of co-operative and specialized effort. Gathered together in one huge automobile shop you have the mechanic, the ignition specialist, the carburetor adjuster, the reader and body workers, the "top man" and the automobile painter. All automobiles specialists are experts, but each confining himself to his special line. Because thereby he can increase his efficiency and render to his patrons better service. With this thought in mind we were plan to drop into the beautiful Westside offices of Dr. Ruth J. Temple, and find these doctors working together on the cooperative plan of the practice of medicine. It is a known fact to many of us that these physicians together with

other of our forward-loking doctors have been studying and working to prepare themselves to give special service to patients along their chosen line. In this group Dr. Chas. Diggs by special clinic work in this city and in his private practice, has prepared himself to efficiently care for Rectal and Genito-Urinary diseases. Dr. R. S. Whittaker has studied here and has also taken special post graduate work in the East to fully prepare himself for his delicate work in the diseases of the Nose, Eye, Ear, Throat and in General Surgery. For years Dr. E. B. Liddell has worked and studied to attain the high degree of efficiency which characterizes his work as Internal Medicine doctor with this group of physicians. For almost four consecutive years Dr. Ruth J. Temple has been on the staff of the city Maternity Service of the Los Angeles Health Department, which service cares for from 100-120 new born babies and their mothers each month. Thus Dr. Temple has had excellent training in the school of actual experience for her special work with his co-operative group of physicians, as their physician for Maternity cases and Women's Diseases.
Not only is this group of physicians co-operating, but all of our honest physicians throughout the city are operating together for increased efficiency and greater service. This fact makes us very proud of all of our race physicians who are making such a large sacrifice to fully equip themselves to efficiently care for our needs. Eastside Offices Continue As Usual The opening of their Westside Offices as a specialist's building does not in any way effect the Eastside offices of the various doctors of the cooperative group. All of the doctors, like most other specialists, are in their Westside offices by appointment only, while their Eastside office hours and the location of their Eastside offices remain unchanged.
CARE OF THE TEETH
By Dr. J. Winniford Roat
Many people rail to grasp the importance of a healthy mouth and because I feel that this editorial that I am quoting verbatim from the current issue of Oral Hygiene is so timely and of such importance that no one will fail to appreciate its value.
A Lay Message
The whole span of life is the time between two meals—the first and the last. Birth always occurs before the first meal, death invariably follows the last meal. Into the mouth that first meal goes, and into the mouth must go all of the other meals. How can you expect health if you place all of your food into a mouth full of infected and diseased teeth? How can you expect to mastigate the regular food that you will eat, from the time you graduate out of the milk business until you go into real estate, unless you so care for your teeth that you will always have a sufficient number in good working order?
The meals that nourish you are the meals that prolong life and bring comfort as well as accomplishment. If you have an ambition to be an invalid, just neglect your mouth. Keep your teeth clean. Have the cavities rinsed when the cavities are small. If you have hopelessly diseased teeth, have them taken out and in due time replace them with bridges or plates.

A twenty year old Divinity student preached his first sermon in the Black Hills, S. D. He had as an auditor, the President of the United States who is vacationing in that vicinity, and transacting the affairs of the nation, Away from the sweltering heat of Washington he has the time and energy to review calmly the great needs of the nation. That young man eloquently depicted the ravages of the floods which devastated great areas of farm lands, destroyed towns, took its toll of lives, and brought untold suffering to thousands of people. He dwelt upon the economic needs of the nation; its financial status with the world Powers, and lauded the na-
INNO
tion's efforts in the cause of Universal Peace. But he failed to mention the blotch on the escutcheon of all this greatness—LYNCHING.
What an opportunity was lost! There, in that little chapel, dedicated to the service of the Lowly Nasarine, in the solemnity of the religious environment; and the serenity of that country church, the President would have the time to meditate. He would have seen the writhing wretches as the flames seared and bit away the flesh from their bones. He could have visualized the pain and anguish before the soul left the body. He could have imagined that the scent of the pine trees coming through the windows was the odor of scorching human flesh. It might be possible that visualising this horror, he would have paraphrased Abraham Lincoln, who when he saw the slave block in New Orleans, said, "If ever the opportunity comes, I will strike this monster a deadly blow." Yes, to have mentioned the crime of lynching at that time would have been more effective than the visits of scores of delegations or thousands of petitions.
We wonder if Gov. Al Smith had ALL-MEN in mind when he made this statement: "And I believe in the common brotherhood of man under the common fatherhood of God. In this spirit I join with fellow Americans of all creeds in a fervent prayer that never again in this land will any public servant be challenged because of the faith in which he has tried to walk humbly with his-God. It is this first statement that arouses our inquisitiveness. Does the Governor bring under that category the millions of black folk in the nation? Does he really mean in that brotherhood that men should be judged as Men, and not tinged with the odum of color? These are grand words, but is the will to use them affectively as strong.
Does, church, going emblemise Christianity? If so, the inhabitants of Arkansas City, Arkansas, are entitled to the "Asbestos Medal."

vice in row boats which they anchored to the pillars of the edifice and near by tences. But the irony of the thing lies in its blatant hypocrisy. That same religion has been the scene of more inhuman attrocities than any other, of that State, which has of late endeavored to keep pace with the rest of the South in the practice of mob violence.
A number of Filipinos have contributed $37,000, chartered a steamer and sailed for the Hawaiian Islands in pursuit of more profitable labor. We do not question the right of the Filipinos to migrate in order to better their condition. But is it wisdom from an economic viewpoint? Does the labor condition on the island of Hawaii call for such an infux of foreign labor? From the last report of the Department of Labor concerning the labor conditions in the island there seems to be a surplus. Failing to find the expected employment in Hawaii, what will eventually be the next step? The Phillipines, under the Suzerain
OCENT GUIN
Hawaii, a territorial annex, makes it practically free for them to enter the United States. The unloading of hundreds or Filipinos on the Pacific coast would not have a beneficial effect on the labor conditions here. And we believe this is the ultimate goal.
It is too true that both the religious and fraternal bodies of the Race have become subverted. Commercialism has overthrown spirituality, and subverted the spirit of fraternal ties. We have before us as an example, the strenuous efforts of an individual to keep at the head of one of the great progressive fraternal orders of the Race. Manouvrier, which are crude as well as shameful, have been adopted to retain the reins of power. We write of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. At the Grand Session at Cleveland, Ohio last August it was voted to hold the next session in the city of New York. From the platform letters from the Mayor, Chamber of Commerce, and the N. Y. Lodge, B. P. O. E. giving their assurance of a great welcome, were read. By a big vote, the delegates declared for New York. But New York did not, nor has not, endorsed the re-election of the state head, who, to the give up the jute plum, raised the issue of a State law which for years has remained innocuous. The contents of the G. E. R. are of the most ridiculous type. For instance: Immediately after the Grand Session held in Newark, N. J. he, with the numbers of a fellow delegates were guests at a mammoth ball tendered by Imperial Lodge of N. Y. at 71st Regt. Armory. He with hundreds of other Negro BUsk were in full regalia of the order. On several occasions since then he has appeared as guest of the New York Lodges, even heading parades, with no fear of invoking the so-called "Grattian Law." At the Grand Convention held in Chicago, 1924, this writer called the attention of the delegates to the danger of allowing any group to obtain a strangle hold on the Order which could be used for purposes or sell. In Newark, N. J. we bought the repeal of the law limited to the degree of office to one year for its strangle head.

The sorry spectacle of a subpoena being served publicly was the outcome of a court injunction against transferring the Grand Lodge session from New York to Cleveland, Ohio, where it was held the year past. We, who for the past two decades have watched the growth of this marvelous child of fraternalism, we who have contributed our mite in the travail of her growth, wait with bated breath this struggle with the Order revert to the self sacrificing spirit, which has caused the names of Dr. Atkins, J. Frank Wheaton, G. Gillis Nutter, Armond W. Scott, George McMechen, to be loved wherever the insignia of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. is displayed. We do not desire to see a split in our ranks.

And it would have cost so little: 20¢ for the first ½ mile, 10¢ for each ½ mile thereafter. For Yellow Cab Service phone
The evening of June 28th afforded Los Angeles one of the most beautiful weddings ever witnessed anywhere when Miss Helen Marie Oliver, one of the sweetest and most popular girls in the younger set and Mr. Walter Joseph Benton, one of the city's most promising and ambitious young pharmacists, a recent graduate of U. S. C., were united in holy matrimony at 8:30 P. M. at Independent Church, the Rev. N. P. Gregg, officiating.
The church was elaborately decorated with an abundance of ferns, foliage and roses representing a garden scene such as no artist can depict so realistic and so splendidly did the renowned Ralph W. Porter seem to extend his capabilities in plotting this occasion.
A short musical program, preceded the ceremony beginning with "Oh Promise Me," which was rendered with wonderful expression by Miss Bertha Spruill, accompanied by Mrs Fannie Benjamin, who knows how to extract the sweetest of strains from a pipe organ. Mr. Theo. Banks followed immediately with a rendition of "Kiss Me." on his violin, making one doubt that he was not one of the "old masters" reincarnated, such style, technique and expression!
Then to wonderful strains of Mendelssohn, came, one after another, the bridesmaids—Miss Edith Smith, Miss Helen Beavers, Miss Irma Baker and Miss Verna Stratton—beautiful attired in chic frocks of pastel shades of taffeta trimmed with silver face, each young lady wearing satin slippers and a hat to match her respecting shade of taffeta and carrying a large bouquet of La France roses. As simultaneously marched the ushers—Mr. Ben Colly, R. N. Neal, Mr. B. Grayson and Mr. Ernest Mitchell—immaculately full-dressed and button-holed with a La France butonaire each, taking their respective positions in the garden scene and adding style and dignity to the occasion.
Then came the maid of honor, Miss Willie B. Nickerson in a pretty frock or soft shade yellow with hat to match and silver slippers. She also carried allure bouquet of La Frances giving her a very chic appearance.
Directly in her wake strode the little ring bearer. Master Sanford, dressed in a Spanish costume made of black velvet. His composure and carriage were wonderful in one of such tender years. Following him the little Goneya Kinsey and Bobby Frazier, with their dainty ruffles of organdy lavished profusely over bonnets and dresses emphasizing the colonial period, carried baskets from which the bridal path was literally paved with roses.
Master Frank Eglason, second rime berer also represented the colonial period as he marched in the wake of the flower girls wearing a costume of gray satin. The spirit of Washington's day seemed to salute the air when the matron of honor, Mrs. Helen D. Mitchell, exquisitely gowned in a creation of orange colored georgette and hat to match and silver slippers appeared carrying also a marvelously beautiful bouquet, and then the music heralded the coming of the bride, who leaning upon the arm of her uncle, Mr. Edwin J. Houston, was escorted along the flower strenuus to the altar, as candles artistically arranged at regular intervals shed their soft glow of welcome along with many hundreds of admiring friends.
FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1927
ON NUPTIALS
The bride wore a gown of ivory sat in trimmed with Princess lace and silk pearls, her train also of some material was attached at shoulders and embroidered with pearls at bottom. A spray of orange blossoms was quite distinguishing. The veil was of rose point lace and silk tulle drapped to form a lovely cap over the head, and fastened with a wreath of orange blossoms, falling gently over the shoulders.
Satin slippers and a gorgeous bouquet of roses and lilies of the valley all manifesting that little wonder Mrs. Eva Houston spared no pains as she designed and made this creation, which was really marvelous in its beauty and simplicity.
Simultaneously Mr. Walter J. Benton began the march accompanied by the best man, Mr. Alonzo Adams, both were impacculately dressed for the occasion button holed with a white flower each.
With the consent of the another, Mrs. Lillian Mr. Oliver, ceremonies were duly administered.
The reception was held also at the church immediately afterwards, where congratulations and refreshments were in abundance.
The bridal party was seated at one table headed by Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Benton. After which Mr. Paul Horngby and his band entertained the bridal party at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Houston.
Sunday,marked the opening of their home at $221\frac{1}{2}$ East 31st to all of their many friends. Punch and wedding cake were served, the day was quite a success.

111 Orchestra Hit Of Downtown Dance Hall
Just before going to Press we taddly accepted long promised invitation to what the great 111 Orchestra at the down town Dupont Hall they have made famous for the past three years. The bad we won't be able to tell about them this issue.
War Declared on Lower California Land and Development Co.
To those of you who have never been to Lower California, Mexico, and have never seen the entrancing beauty of a sunrise thousands of feet above sea level with the cool, clear mountain breeze swaying fields of golden red wheat as far as the eye can see, the series of articles which we have published from time to time, may seem "Much Ado About Nothing."
I wish it were possible for you to have taken the trip with us. Messrs. Littlejohn, Troy and Stevens, to Ensenada and from Ensenada back up into the mountains to the ranch Santa Clara. Harvest time has come and all along the way as we traveled into the interior of Lower California, the ripening stalks of wheat and barley presage the gathering of an unprecedented crop. As we topped the last rise over Vallecatas and looked down into Santa Clara valley, more than four hundred acres of planted wheat swayed in the morning breeze. Quail leaped from the side of our car in great coves and went chirping off to the mountain side; young jack rabbits and cotton-tail jumped from cover and scurried off in the underbrush.
In the beginning daylight we drove on down to the low rambling ranch house in which the president of our company, Mr. T. W. Troy, and his wife, have lived for so many faithful years building a home forty miles from the nearest town of consequence. Hundreds of chickens were scratching and clucking about the farm and its outhouses. A couple of hundred head of fat, thoroughbred cattle were wandering off down to the luctuous grasses near the spring that gives Santa Claire permanent water. Mr. Troy was already busy feeding chickens, gathering eggs, milking and carving for the thousand odds and ends of a farmer's life.
Across the way in the house Mr. L. M. Bloedgett built for his farm, sends similar activities are taking place and a great combined harvester and thresher is gathering and packing the wheat and barley at the rate of 70 or 80 sacks per day, gathering the greatest crop which has ever been raised on Santa Clara. The cattle, most of the horses, and most of the wheat and barley are of Mr. Bloedgett's own raising. The operations of this division of the ranch are under one of the best known and most successful practical farmers of our race, Mr. J. W. Stimpson.
The few preceding paragraphs can only give a slight impression of what Santa Clara is; what it can be made into is almost beyond the imag- imation of we ourselves, although we are more familiar with Santa Clara its possibilities and all, than any others save those who make it their permanent home.
Can you see why the possibility of losing this footprint in Southern California stirs our blood and drives us in battle for our rights and the conservation of our dream? The powerful, inefficient manipulation of our attorney, who other did not know what he was doing or purposefully chose to misrepresent, we as a company of man have contributed thousands of dollars for the purchase of a property which we hold no right or title. Our friends and people who believed in us and our integrity have purchased from the company small acres, or
divide tracts, land to which the company had no title and which it could not legally sell. Is this efficiency at the part of an attorney's law? Negly a hundred thousand dollars have been collected and amended for purchase and development of this land and yet nothing has been accomplished. On the other hand a practical business man from our mist, having under lease hold only one hundred five times as much in crops and with the passing of the present season may well look forward to earning a neat per centage on invested capital after only two years of honest, straightforward business with Santa Gira, and the natives of Lower California.
Friends its not too late to rescue Santa Clara. We already have the moral and spiritual support of every right thinking man and woman to establish common sense and efficiency. Let every stockholder and well wisher join us and make Santa Clara what she should be.

DECREPIT CARDANGER RECOGNIZED
Two of the leading eastern states have just officially recognized the menace of the decept automobile on the highways of those states and have made provisions to have them ruled off the roads, according to information given out by the National Automobile Club. The first state to undertake the removal of this highway menace, as most motor clubs designate their ancient machines, was Massachusetts which gives the motor vehicle authorities of the state the power to regulate the operation of vehicles deemed to be unsafe.
PRECEDENT'SET
That the motor vehicle is a dangerous weapon and that the state has power to enforce regulations looking toward its proper control in the interests of public safety, was the ruling of the Massachusetts Supreme Court. The effect of the ruling may be far-reaching. It means that states may take steps to prevent the operation of motor vehicles that are so far gone mechanically that they constitute to the general public. It means that states may take more stringent measures to regulate cars in the field of proper braking facilities, tire equipment and the like.
Many an accident is the result of neglect of the mechanical parts of the car, it is pointed out by the club. Steering knuckles that are properly lubricated seldom break; tires that are not within the danger limits of wear are not particularly susceptible to puncture; wheel bearings do not for when they are affixed to a stationary periods. Such clocks or interpretation of the law such as this is certainly a step in the right direction.
LAW PASSED
Pennsylvania is also out after the auto cripples. Under the new code, which has just received the signature of the Governor, the superintendent of the motor vehicle department "may suspend the registration of any motor vehicle deemed unsafe or unfit to be used if it not equipped as required by law."
This regulation will clean the highways of Pennsylvania or decrepit machines that are a menace to traffic, according to the National Automobile Club. The plan for enforcement of the new code, which will go into effect on the first day of next year, includes brake inspection and the equip-
ment of cars with a windshield wiper that insures clear vision at all times. The new code is flexible enough to permit the use of common sense in its enforcement and it probably will not work a hardship on anyone. It is certainly in the interests of safety to exclude from the highways and the city streets all machines that constitute a menace to the traveling public.

Garage Important Element of House
The stable and the barn used to be relegated to the backyard but with the advent of the automobile the successor to the barn, the garage, forms a very important part of the house, itself.
The recent announcement, of the
department of Labor that four out of
every five houses built in the United
States in 1888 had private garages
included within their walls or erected
on their property, was the end of
the time. The privaterage
made up thirty-seven per cent of all
new buildings put an last year:
Twenty-two million motor vehicles are now in service in this country of which more than twenty million are private cars. There are twenty-seven million families in the United States. More than three-fourths of American families are provided with motor cars.
The All-Year road into Yosemite Valley is in aplendid condition, according to the Prescott District Office or the National Automobile Club. From Merced, the road is baved to Planada and 4% miles beyond, thence excellent improved gravel road to El Portal where pavement is again encountered and continues into the Valley.
The improved section of the road between Planada and El Portal has been recently gravelled in places which will require slow driving until the gravel becomes packed.
Compulsory Insurance Law Meets Snags
General dissatisfaction with the Mangaschuttus Compulsory insurance regulations for changing the methods of working out the Law.
There are three zones at the pres-ent time and those living in Metropolitan areas pay a higher rate than those living in the country.
A new bill was introduced into the Legislature to make the insurance coverage uniform throughout the state but it was defeated. Another bill was introduced which provided for a flat charge to be turned over by every car owner to the state and provided that all damages must be paid out of this fund by the state authorities. This bill was also defeated.
Under the present conditions, in Massachusetts, it seems decidedly dangerous to experiment in California with the compulsory automobile insurance law until some plan has been worked out which has some possibility of success.
Sentencing an automobile theft to serve one to ten years in prison Judge W. McKay Stifman of Detroit stated from the bench last week that he believed that the courts of the country had a responsibility in making the penalties of automobile theft the most severe of the penalties of thieves have already penalized the law-abiding citizens by increasing automobile insurance rates.
Locking the car is one way the automobile owner can help to prevent theft. Strict interpretation of the law and rigorous enforcement of its provisions by the courts will go far toward reducing motor car theft, according to W. H. Schoppe, Superintendent of the Theft Bureau of the National Automobile Club.
Enough is Enough

We're getting near the welcome day When, legalized our power. We'll merry bowl along the way At 40 miles an hour.
Our careful Solopha pondered well Ere setting pace so nifty But some of inch will make an ell And promptly speed at 50.
Bare one the point can ravel.
But forty per' is fast enough.
Of joy to give a maw full.
So, pray, all speedier instinct slough
and stick to pace that's lawful!
COPS 'STEAL' AUTOS OF 500 MOTORISTS
Five hundred motorists in Summerdale, a suburb of Chicago, Ill., missed their care after they had parked them in front of their homes sometime during the night. The police towed the cars to garages as they began enforcing a new ordinance against all-night parking.
CARE OF YOUR CAR
IMPORTANCE OF SPARK ADJUSTMENT
"Now listen, Doc, my engine sounds like a woodpecker working on a gas tank when it's pullin' hard. The knock stops if I retract the spark. Some say thinks hard on the engine. How about it?" It is to the advantage of any motorist to have his distributor set so that the spark will occupy as near the dead center of the缸塞 as possible. Then the explosion will begin. It's "push" against the piston just as soon after it starts down on the power stroke as possible. Many drivers, who have discovered the importance of running with the spark below, each a position as to cause the explosion to occur on the最脏 dead center, but when the engine is on a hard pull you will notice that they always retard the spark a little, but enough to keep the engine from rocking.
Mr. John Hensley or Hensley Brothers fame is reported to have been the victim of an auto accident on the fourth. His car had an argument with the road, and the road turned his car over. Both received a bad scare but few injuries.
Mr. Jack Olsby, an auto mechanic well known on the Avenue had his Studebaker Big Sir for some reason or other last Sunday, he is able to get around without crushes.
