L.A.Negroes Buy Club Site DANGILKEY CONFIRMS SALE OF PARKRIDGE COUNTY CLUB TO LARGE NEGRO SYNDICATE SAYS HE IS GOING ON A LONG VACATION TO FORGET WORRIES; STATE CORPORATION COMMISSIONER IS MAKING INVESTIGATION In a long-distance telephone conversation yesterday, Dan Gilkey, promoter and owner of something like $290,000 of the $300,000 capital stock of Parkridge Country Club, stated that he had sold his holdings in the resort to a syndicate of Los Angeles colored financiers and that the property will be operated as a country club for colored people. He also stated that he is going on an extended vacation in an effort to escape his many worries. This statement was confirmed by Welburn Mayock, Los Angeles attorney representing Howard Williams who holds a mortgage of $123,000 against the club. Over the long distance telephone Mr. Mayock stated that the deal has been closed and the contracts signed by the colored syndicate, and that he has been appointed trustee to receive the claims of creditors of the club, the Gilkey stock, and the other assets which are to go into escrow at once. The whole deal will be consummated within thirty days, he said. week's meeting and which has been putting in strenuous work during the past week consists of Loyal Kelly, George Janney, Arthur Shackleton and Frank Smith. MEETING CALLED There will be a meeting of all of the members of the club at the Parkridge Country Club Friday evening at 7:30. Each member will be notified by letter and urged to be there. The publis is invited to attend this meeting, said Tyler, because it is considered to have become a community affair and to be of the greatest importance to all. There are many in Riverside holding membership certificates. Corona has a large number of membership holders while San Bernardino, Anaheim, Colton, Banta Ana and other cities are represented. It is believed likely that large delegations from each of these communities will be present at the Friday meeting. TO STOP SALE Vern Tyler of Riverside, representing club members here, stated that steps have been taken through the Los Angeles office of the State Corporation Commission to prevent the sale of any of the securities or assets of the club and that Mr. Stone of the commission's Los Angeles office requests that full information be sent to him at once so that a complete review of the matter may be made in the shortest possible time. Chief Deputy Blipham, who is head of the criminal division of the State Corporation Commission, was present at a conference in Los Angeles. TO DEMAND INJUNCTION "If necessary to protect their interests," Mr. Tyler said, "the members of the club, through some representative committee, will ask for an injunction to prevent the sale of the club assets or capital stock until the Corporation Commission has had time to determine whether fraud has been committed and whether the State Securities has been violated in the sale of memberships." Gilkey is understood to have sold 164 life memberships at $500 each, citing that the indebtedness of the Birkridge Country Club was only $335,000 and that this amount would either up the indebtedness. It has developed since that the custowright Studios of Hollywood has claim of $40,000 for furnishings; that Old Smith, who put in the water system, has a claim of $43,000; and the Hammond Lumber company has likes on the property for ...40,000. Seller claims, it is learned, and a mortgage for $122,262, bring the total adherence up to $252,000. OFFERED SETTLEMENT At a meeting of the creditors of the club held a short time ago Mr. Gilkyx must to have stated that if the members of the club would relieve him of the obligations and would make a mutually satisfactory deal with the creditors he would turn over ll of his holdings to the club, reserving nothing for himself. A meeting of the members was held the Elks Club Thursday evening, about 11, at which a committee of the club was appointed to meet with the creditors and to arrange a satisfactory deal, and at which the sentiment of the members was ascertained. PROPOSALS TURNED DOWN In a consequence a proposal was made to Attorney Maycock that the members be bonded and that creditors be protected. This proposal was apparently satisfactory but turned down later and prefered to the colored syndicate, everything possible in being done except the transfer of the club to the syndicate of colored creditors, and Mr. Tyler yesterday. He having memberships are back the committee and all the legal authority to preserve the privacy of the club members intact will week's meeting and which has been putting in strenuous work during the past week consists of Loyal Kelly, John Arthur Shackleton, and Frank Smith.

Rev. Holder is not only a great gospel preacher, but is a shrewd business man. He is a financial wizard, a wide-awake, modern day preacher. To hear him once, is to convince you. The officers say with pride, "It was our own dear pastor, Dr. Holder, who manouvered and put over this property deal for us to our pleasant satisfaction. This property was to be sold for $18,500.00, but by shrewd financing our pastor was successful in acquiring it for us at $16,000.00. It includes a church building all furnished and two dwelling houses, one 6 rooms and the other 5 rooms, all modern. During the 6 months the Calvary Baptist Church has raised in actual cash $40,000.00. At the present time, we own no one, only to boast that we are ahead in our payments. Give God the glory for such wonderful achievement and may He permit our pastor to live a long time to never leave us again.

Morrow, member of the United States Mediation Board, to come to Chicago to proceed with mediation of the dispute between the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Pullman Company. Mediation has gone on from that time until August 9th, whereupon Mr. Morrow advised the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Pullman Company that his efforts at mediation were unsuccessful and then attempted to induce the parties to the dispute to submit said dispute to arbitration. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters agreed to submit dispute to arbitration, but the Pullman Company refused to submit dispute to arbitration. DURING MEDIATION The Brotherhood contended: That it represented the Pullman Porters and Maids because it had a majority of the Pullman Porters as members. That Company contended: That the Employees Representative Plan represented the Pullman, Porters and Maids, because 85% of them had voted for the plan in the last election, November, 1926. The Brotherhood replied: That the Porters and Maids voted for the plan under intimidation, interference and coercion, it offered in evidence 160 affidavits, proving its contention. The Company contended: That it had a contract with its employees thru the Employee Representation Plan or Company Union. The Brotherhood contended: That said contract was null and void because it was signed under intimidation and coercion by alleged representatives of porter who were selected under intimidation and coercion by alleged representatives of porters who were selected under intimidation and coercion by the Pullman Company. The Brotherhood characterized the contract with a contract which is signed by a man at the point of a revolver, in which there, there is no meeting of minds to the contract nor are the parties free agents to express their desires relative to the nature, from and content of contract. The Brotherhood further contended: That the Employee representation Business under the New Railway Labor Act, under it is Company organized and Company controlled, whereas the Railway Labor Act provides for the self-organization of employees and the re-election and designation of representatives without coercion, influence and interference. The Brotherhood also contended: That granting that there was a contract between the Company and the employees through the Plan, the employees have a right to change that contract when they so desire by giving notice to the Company. Even the plan provides for a change in the contract, after giving 30 days notice. The Company's refusal to arbitrate is based upon their claim that: There is no dispute, although the United States Mediation Board says there is. If there is no dispute the Board of Arbitration would no declare it if there is a dispute it would declare that a dispute existed, in either event, the Company is bound by the spirit and intent of the law to submit the question to arbitration and abide by the decision. Alfred P. Thomas and Donald R. Elchberg, counsels for the Association of Railway executives and the Standard Railway Unions, respectively, who agreed upon this legislation, maintained that when mediation fails the parties to the dispute are morally bound to submit same to arbitration. The Western Railway managers, in the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen's case, took the position that arbitration should follow mediation. All other railroad companies have submitted to the law firm gone so far (Continued on page six) Monday evening, August 20th will be another big day in the life of the Federated Chubs when another mon- ster gathering is scheduled to meet at Eagle Hall, 538 Central Avenue, for the purpose of soliciting the reports of the various publications which are scheduled to report on this meet.

F. Wagner, called as a witness before the Grand Jury, being first duly sworn testified as follows:— Questions my Mr. Dennison:— Q. Your name is Dr. A. F. Wagner?— A. Yes. Q. Doctor, did you perform an autopsy upon the body of Samuel B. Faulkner?? A. I did. Q. When was that performed? A. April 25, 1927. Q. How old a man was he? A. 35. Q. Colored? A. Colored. Q. What was his height? A. Five feet eight inches, weight about 165 pounds. Q. You ascertained and determined the cause of death, did you? Q. What was the cause or death? A. I found a bullet wound entered the right side of the face upon the smaller eminence, passed backward, slightly toward the left and very slightly upward, entering the skull, passing through the inner portion of the base of the right middle lobe of the brain, thence to the left side, and I found the bullet in the posterior portion of the left posterior lobe of the brain. The entrance wound showed no powder marks. The bullet was much distorted and appeared to be a .33 calibre soft lead bullet. The cause of death was gunshot wound of the head. Q. You recovered the bullet? A. I did. Q. And you have it? A. I have. Q. Do you know whether or not it has been weighed? A. It has been examined. Q. And weighed? A. And weighed. Q. And ascertained to be a .38? A. Yes, Sir. Q. Doctor, such a wound as you found in the body, what would be the effect of such a shot as that? Would death be instantaneous? A. As a rule it is instantaneous. Q. That is a man would drop in his tracks? A. Yes, sir. Q. Did you and any other bullet holes in the body? A. I did not. Q. You examined it, of course? Yes, sir. Q. There is $n_0$ question but what that is .38? A. Here is the bullet. Q. Now, you say that the wound was on that part of the face known as the mahar eminence. Will you point to that? A. This bone right here (indicating), from the eyes to the cheek bones. Q. The course of the bullet was to the left? A. It was backward and slightly to the left, and very slightly upward. Q. So apparently from the course of the bullet in the head, it must have ben fired from the left? Mr. Dennison: I think I had better offer this bullet in evidence and let it be marked as Exhibit A. I think that is all. A. Now, here is a rather difficult thing. I should put my mark on that bullet Mat comes up before the Court. They always lay straight on the foot as if whether I make an identification mark on it. Sunday afternoon we attended the Women's Day service at Macedonia Baptist Church. Macedonia, under the leadership of the Rev. L. M. Curtis, is presenting to the public of South Los Angeles, a unique church organization and we were delighted to see so many young men and women falling in line with the new program of religious culture. While in South Los Angeles (Watts) we also oaked in on the opening of the Cosmopolitan School of Commerce. Still wending our way down the sidewalk of time Sunday evening, we were brought face to face with the Women's Day program at Phillip's Temple Church. The lieutenant of the day here was Mrs. A. C. Billbrew, and to the average Angelino it is needless to say more, but we were inspired and if it be possible we would have you catch a gleam of that inspiration. Well, to begin with the house was crowded. In the pews men, women and children, all with up-turned, beaming faces gazed upward and towards the center, some from the faces that were stamped; for it seemed each number rendered suggested something better next. And something better was always coming. Mrs. A. C. Billbrew with her incomparable chorus furnished excellent music. FAITH NEEDED One or the needs of our time is to have the simple faith of our fathers poured into a twentieth cegentury mould. We need the old fashioned religion—but dressed in a free and flowing robe, and not in the straight-jacket in which the bigots would encase it. We need more people who can say "Our Father, who are in heaven"—and really believe it. FALSE PROPHETS When a white man gets in a hurry to unload something that he considers very good, on Colored people you want to watch him, for if its really very good he is more than apt to want it himself. Just who these. Colored financiers are we do not know, but we have a sneaky feeling that there will be many a moon change before they enjoy the luxuries of the Parkridge Country Club. This very morning we had the painful experience of turning away from our door a man who said that he was a husband and the father of four babies; that he had neither job nor means with which to buy food nor pay house rent. Now, its a mighty good thing to have financiers in our group, but would not be a good idea for those folks to buy an orange or walnut ranch, open an automobile or shoe factory and put some of our black brothers to work? Truly all work and no plaw makes John a dull boy; but then, let's work first. The white man is always willing to let the black man enjoy himself because he knows that so long as the black man spends his time in pleasure seeking he will not become his economic foe. N. A. A. C.

It is necessary to belong to Lodges and social clubs, but there is only one agency that stands day and nights as a guardian of your civil and political rights.

That life and death of a porter or waiter. Fred Tuckman was now operating on the Southern Pacific is connected with the Golden State Life Insurance Co., and if he has you insured, the longer you live the more money he is able to extract from your books. Naturally he is very desirous of living to a tipe old age. Different with Mr. J. L. Hill, porter operating on the Southern Pacific when he is working; this gentleman being connected with the Angelus Funeral Parliars, and the sooner you die the better it is for Mr. Hill providing he can get your funeral. So life and death takes a big part in the lives of these two very prominent railroad men. DINING CARS OPERATE AT LOSS Railroads made lots of DOUGH last year, according to Mr. Allan Pollock, manager of Southern Pacific's Commissary department, who says that all DOUGH is not money in the till when made in dining car galleys. Preparing delicious hot cakes, tea rolls, and corn and bran muffins while the dining car speeds along has been greatly simplified by scientific cooking. All the chef has to do is to add milk to four blends mixed fresh daily in the company's commissary kitchens by a series of ingenious machines that remove all guess work from bread making. These machines work in the shortening and blend other ingredients with the flour in a dry mix that goes to the dining, cars all ready to be made into DOUGH. They were developed by experts to save time and establish inevitable standards of excellence. Last year 550,000 pounds of blended flours turned out by these machines were mixed into dough and baked to be eaten by travelers. In spite of such efficiencies and economies, the Southern Pine dining car service last year, aside from cost of maintaining cars, represented a loss of $600,000 due to the costiness of maintaining a cuisine on a par with that of the best hotels under the peculiar handicap of operating a moving restaurant, AND THE RAILROAD CLATTER, reads between the lines that this statement of a loss on the part of the dining car department is the forerunner of a basis to evade paying the Southern Pacific living wage. COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE THEM. PILLOW SLIPS Wm. Bachelor has quite an ad. pertaining to gas wagons in the Eagle, our boy is branching out! ONE OVER Mr. J. W. Richardson from the City of Watts seems to have put one over on your humble allroad report. And from what I can gather it was done the queen's taste. Apparently the Hon. Mr. Richardson became tired of coming off of the road and preparing his own meals, making up his own beds and going his own washing. And by putting 2 and 2 together he made the conclusion that he could handle the hardships of the single-life. So the bold young man got MARRIED and from now on will live on flowery beds or ease as far as household duties are conceived. Although my good friend, Mr. Noel, has given me keep your reporter advised of anything unusual that should occur in Watts this choice bit of news no doubt got by Mr. Noel as well as myself. However The Railroad, Clatter extends congratulations Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Richardson of Watts. PAY CHECKS HELD UP Last pay day many porters who went to Mr. Taylor's office after their checks were told that they had not arrived. Whether this was the fault of the heavy rains in Kansas which have been holding the trains up during the past week over the Santa Fe. or whether it was through some error on the pay roll has yet to be found out. Something was decidedly wrong as porters putting their time in on the half were at least 10 to 12 days getting it. Let's hope it will not happen again. J. W. BOTT'S BLAMED BY PORTERS FOR P. P. B. A. OF A. ERRORS Recently porters who were far below the high rate age as members of the P. P. B. A. of A. were surprised to find that they had been over charged on their payments. While these mistakes have gradually been rectified through correspondence between Mr. L. C. Coffin and the Chicago office, the porters are unanimously laying the blame for the errors at Mr. J. W. Bott's door. Meetings were held for Local No. 1, of the P. P. B. A. in the Southern Pacific storeroom last week in conjunction with Safety-First and Service meetings. ENFORCING MORNING HOUR PARKING LAW As a warning to Sheiks who have been in the habit of parking their cars in front of their girl's house far SEVENTEN— into the wee hours of the morning while they were billing and cooling, the Lincoln Heights police station has been exceptionally active in tagging and in some cases towing the cars to the police garage, where they rest until their owners pay a fine for parking between the hours of 2 A. M. and 4 A. M. that state for some time but the police are just now enforcing it. Watch your step. Two out of every five cars made in the United States were used to replace other automobiles in 1926. This means that almost 40 per cent of the new cars manufactured in the entire world caused the discard of old cars. Replacements in the United States were nearer 50 per cent, totaling about 1,850,838 cars. Replacement figures for Canada are 21 per cent, for Argentina less than 3 per cent and for Australia 31 per cent. The motoring public is advised in a special bulletin broadcasted this week by Sid Grauman that Grauman's Chinese Theater is the only institution of the kind in the country having auto parks on each side with a capacity of 1000 motor cars. The showman advises in the bulletin that this parking space is within a few steps of the forecourt, while other parking stations, some of them as far as two blocks from the theater, are inviting patrons to "park here for Grauman's Chinese." The Automobile Club of Troy, N. Y., is supplying its members, with gasoline at 15 cents a gallon, white dealers are charging from 19 to 21 cents. The club threatens to supply the city at the low price if the dealers do not some-down. NERVE AND A GAS CAN George Niederauer, a young college student, arrived in Washington, D.C., recently after getting "lifts" from San Bernardino, Calif., with the aid of an empty gasoline can. Flagging motorists with the can and having them pick him up on the assumption he was a follow driver in distress, the drivers would enjoy "a good laugh" when they found the gas container was only the wanderer's suit filled with clothing. Niederauer said the car owners made it a point to carry him as car as possible toward his destination. JAYWALKING FOUND According to figures tabulated by the Traffic Bureau in Washington, D.C., five per cent of the automobile casualties in the capital are caused by persons walking into the sides of moving motor vehicles. Traffic officials have put this practice down as the most advanced form of jaywalking. Famous Sayings It may be all right to toot your motor born, but it is a whole lot safer to use the brake—So quoteth Van Williams. The jams grandma used to make certainly were wonderful, but the kind Flivvers make today are still better.—So says Dr. Williams. Every woman who sets out to run down a man doesn't use an automobile says John Wilson. He knows. J. E. Bruce Now Salesman With Hudson-Essex Agency The very fact that Hudson and Essex cars are prime favorites with the great mass of car buyers and the further fact that J. E. Bruce, popular and efficient salesman has become a part and parcel of the Hudson and Essex force of salesmen, means that business will pick up for Mr. Charles T. Marsalis, Hudson-Essex dealer, located at 1209 E. 7th street (near Central Avenue). J. E. Bruce, the saleman is known for his thorough knowledge of automobiles and for his absolute reliability, it is a by-word that when Bruce passes on a car that car is right. He has earned an enviable reputation as a salesman and scores of buyers will testify to Mr. Bruce's fair and square dealing in the representation which he makes to buyers. The Hudson products we are sure with a broad-gauged management like Mr. Marshall and reinforced by a representative of our group in the person of Mr. Bruce will henceforth become more popular than ever as a car for the average man.

WILL THE PORTERS WIN? At this time, when misleading articles are appearing in the press, and so much confusion concerning the situation of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters exists, the following statement will be appreciated by those men of these men for justice, and wish to know the truth concerning the matter. The Pullman Porters organized because they were over-worked, underpaid, and treated as menals when they wanted to be treated like men. The company and the paper plan of representation which clarified to offer the porters a method of handling their grievances, long, bitter years of defeat and disappointment under this company union had proved to the men that is was indeed a company union, and not a porters' union. In other words that it was organized to work for the company, could never function for the porters. The mere fact that the porters were compelled to work up to four hundred hours a month for a rate of payless than one-half that of the conductor, two hundred and forty hours a month, was sufficient to be integrated into their own union as the conductor had done they could better fight for justice. Those of us who believe in justice and fair play, and who strive to feel that humanity in general is so disposed, are loath to believe these statements which will bear the fullest investigation. We can obtain evidence in civilized America only by realizing and appreciating the fact that a corporation puts profits above everything else and the fact that the officials of the Pullman Company has become accustomed to the notion that the black porters are not entitled to the same working conditions only treatment that other workers are. It appears, however, that the leaves of enlightenment afforded through the schools of this democratic country, has raised the porter of the Pullman Company from a resigned slave to an aspiring manly worker. Custom and tradition in the minds of the porters have given way to education and determination. They wish for themselves a larger measure of happiness; for their wives and families a greater amount of security; for their children a more and better education. This explains why the Pullman Porter, in spite of the helpless, inhuman, opposition to oppression to which they have been subjected, have organized into a labor union, THE BROTHERHOOD OF SLEEPING CAR PORTERS, to which more than 75% of all the Pullman Porters belong. The title of these remarks is, "WILL THE PORTERS WIN!" Let us consider here a few reasons why they can, will and must win. First the law. The Watson-Parker Bill which regulates all disputes between carers and employees employs the Pulman Company must eventually obey), is very plain. It says clearly that the representatives of the employees shall be designated by the employees themselves without interference or coercion by their employer. Fifty-one per cent of the employees, any carrier, can form themselves together and select individuals to represent them, and they should not be interfered with. This is what the Pulman Porters have done. They have formed their union under the law and chosen their representatives, according to the law. On the other hand, the pulman borrows the law which they mortally agree to support prior to its becoming a law.

CITY Office, 2615 Central Ave. Phone, HUmbolt 1800 provisions of the law, they have intervened with and attempted to influence and coerce their employees, the Pullman Porters, most frugally, cruelly and ruthlessly. They have done this because to disrupt the union of the Pullman Porters meant more profits to the stockholders of the Pullman Porters. The Porters have JUSTICE on their side which is not always synonymous with LAW. No group of employees in this civilized, enlightened, democratic country, should be compelled to work inhuman hours for starvation wages, and beg their living from the public, So in addition to the law, the Porters have on their side that powerful force which is the foundation of society and seeks a fuller and freer expression in the social actions of man—JUSTICE. There is another force, no less definite, no less powerful than LAW and JUSTICE—It is the force of PUBLIC OPINION. Public Opinion is overwhelming on the side or the Pullman Porter and against the Pullman Company. In the first place, the public is tired of paying the Pullman Porter's wages. They feel that the company is not providing the services and makes huge profits for its stockholders, should pay the men who furnish that service a living wage. In the second place, the Porter by his consistent and unfailing courtesy and kindness, has endeared himself to the traveling public, and so we find, most curious of paradoxes, that the only people opposing the movement of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, besides the Pullman officials, are some of the people who themselves. The white public is unanimously in favor of the movement. Lastly and most important, the men themselves have the determination to win. A new spirit has been born, a new Pullman Porter has come to be. SERVICE, not SERVITUDE, is the motto of these brave men. In spite of opposition and cruel injustice, they fought to form their union and escape the oppression. They are subjected. Out of the shell of the old, hat-in-hair, begging, shrimping funky, has appeared a man square shouldered, clear-eyed, unassuming and unafraid. No favor does he ask, but justice he demands. Truly the spirit of America is represented in this man, and surely the true Americans will win. If America will win, must win, if America is to continue a land of free men. GEORGIA CLUB At a Georgia Club meeting held at Mrs. Eula Barbara's residence, Monday, August 22, a delightful time was enjoyed by those present in reviewing the reminiscences of their Georgia Days. A kind letter was received from the Atlanta University thanking us for the receipt of $50 from the club. This small, energetic membership has not only contributed to this fund, but has done many kind deeds for its members and friends and still has on hand a balance of $47 in the bank to their credit. Mrs. I. Ramsey of 651 E. Santa Barbara is largely responsible for the spirit so clearly demonstrated. We will not, however, forget Mrs. Eula Barbar, who served in the capacity of secretary and keeps the interest up to the highest. The case of the People vs Hardy, Long Beach murder trial, which was served for hearing, Department 21 of the Superior Court, August 22nd at 10 A. M., has been changed to the morning of August 29, and will be held in the Superior Court of Long Beach. "The Mighty Snapper Defends Himself" In defending his attitude in the Elliot Commission affair, Snapper Ingram, councilman from the 10th district says:— E. Snapper Ingram "I have nothing to regret. I only followed the dictation of my conscience. I went into the affair as thoroughly as was possible and found sufficient grounds to justify my position. "You may also say that I will ever be found standing and fighting for my constituents along constructive lines." FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1927 Political Pot Warming Up In San Francisco Former Postmaster Powers and Major James Rolph are being discussed pro and con as to which one will be elected to guide the destines of the Northern Metropolis for the coming term of four years from January 1st, 1925. Major Rolph has held the position for the past 16 years and now seeks to make it one score or twenty years as chief executive of this great city. Challenging the mayor now comes forth the Hon. Wm. Powers, who resigned as postmaster to make the race for mayor of San Francisco. It is predicted that this will develop into a battle royal as to who is who, and who will eventually win out in the coming election. Eagle readers not only in San Francisco but all over the State will be interested in the outcome of this contest and we shall endeavor to give each week, first hand information in the premises. Following close on the heels of this contest comes one of probably equal importance in the contest for sheriff. The old war horse and generalissimo of political effort. Sheriff Thomas Finn, is opposed and we will likewise keep tab on the developments in this contest. The "Soaring Eagle" has long been an admirer of Sharif Finn, an open leader of his stanch support for the reason that he has ever been a square shooter and has been one political force which has recognized all people for their worth and merit. Another angle is the contest for District Attorney where the Hon. Michel Brady will seek to succeed himself despite a strenuous opposition. All of which we will chronicle in the columns of the "Soaring Eagle". SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Last announcement of Mr. Paul B. Brown's Piano Puppies Recital to be given at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, at 37th and Paloma, next Tuesday evening, August 30th, 1927.

Among the most enthusiastic supporters of Mr. Brown and his projects is the Wilkins Piano Academy who so nobby supports all musical and instrumental training, and only 25c and surely you won't fail to hear this program. Why I Content That My Case Be Exposed And Disposed Of Before The Courts Of The Land No arm of the law should be allowed to place a question mark upon the good name of any citizen with impunity. Hon. Carl I. Jacobson It is not enough to dismiss, but the points of law justifying dismissal should be brought to the surface and then, and only then should the case be dismissed by the proper authority, thereby removing any and all stigma. Is this not fair? Mr. W. V. Anderson says that the plan to frame his client, Mr. Carl L Jacobson, was hatched in the Ship Cafe at Venice, California, and that he is willing to make affidavit to the effect that a certain underworld lieutenant was one of the prime factors in the scheme.

Mr. Kenneth Crawford motored to Fresno, Thursday evening to attend a party. Miss Ruth Fields celebrated her twelfth birthday Monday, October the 15th, by having a Theatre Party. Many of her young friends were members of the party, and all had an agreeable time. Mrs. Bertha Fields is still on the sick list. Mr. and Mrs. S. Young entertained a select number of friends at her home Saturday evening. A whist tournament furnished the entertainment for the occasion, and every one had a jolly good time. Guests were: Mr. and Mrs. J. Jeffries, Mr. and Mrs. L. Clarke, Mr. and Mrs. E. Hinds, Mrs. Marie Lewis, Miss F. Kinnard, Mr. J. P. Jones, and George Terry. Mr. Lawrence Clarke won first prize for men, Mrs. Hinds won the ladies' prize, Mr. E. Hinds won the bobby prize. After the tournament a delicious repast was served to the guests. Judging from the reports going around in Hanford and vicinity, the scandalongers of Hanford are very busy. This select clique of malicious gossipers are responsible for many false reports going around town, and are doing much harm to others. The colored community of Hanford is suffering the consequences of their malicious tongue wagging, and they have caused the dissolution of many friendships. Fresno News One of the largest and most colorful parties given this season was given by the Pleasure Boys Club last Thursday evening in compliment to Miss Eugenia Grant of Los Angeles, who is spending some time with her brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Grant.

Enjoying the frolic were Messrs. and Mesdames Carl Moulden, Alex W. Clarke, Wm. A. Bigby, Jr., Fred Grant, Percy A. Bost, Willis Butler, Boyd Sims: Mesdames Gertrude E. Grayson, E. F.

Miniature aircraft construction is the present intense theme among hundreds of boys and not a few girls of the municipal playgrounds in preparation for city-wide contests in the semi-finals, to be held next week. Outstanding aerial achievements of the last several months, beginning with the Col. Lindbergh trans-Atlantic flight and continuing through the Hawai'i race, aroused youthful enthusiasm.

For the finals there will be more substantial prizes. The winners will be chosen before September 12. City public schools are holding similar contests, though they will participate with playground children in the semi-finals and finals. 0-00-0 One of the innovations, among many, introduced into the municipal playground program during the present year, that has met with outstanding response on the part of both children and adults has been the expansion of music activities to a major feature. Six months ago, when a special division was established by the Los Angeles Playground and Rebreation Department, there was one orchestra where now there are twelve, ranging from a few players to as many as seventy-five, from childrens' groups to advanced community symphonies. Including harmonica bands, ukelele clubs, bands, choruses and other groups there are now approximately sixty musical organizations at the various recreation centers. Of especially noteworthy results is the formation of "listening groups" who enjoy the programs of the various organizations though they themselves are unskilled in musical expression. Musical activities are declared to be a pronounced factor in the playground aim of better citizenship. Since the advent of George Hjelte as superintendent of the department there has been rapid progress in landscaping public grounds until now some of the most picturesque play sites in the country are established here.

Our Dear Bro. Jacobs: On this hap- py occasion which marks a two-fold event in your life, namely the com- pletion of the fourth anniversary of your ministerial work among us as well as the eye of your departure to attend the National Convention to be held in Washington, D. C. We, the officers and members of the Birch Street Christian Church feel that our only anxiety is to find the most fitting and proper way to tell you all that is in our hearts. We have chosen this message as the medium al- though we realize that mere words can but inadequately convey to you the high esteem and profound respect with which your ministerial work and your personal conduct are associated in our minds. Your four years of service among us has been four years of pleasure and steady progress. The way is now prepared for additional progress, and with your continued leadership, our Church will undoubtedly continue its onward, upward march. We are, by no means attempting in this short message to say all the kind things which truly could be said of you and which you so justly deserve, but suffice it to say that we appreciate your efforts and devotion. We are satisfied with your leadership. We think of you as a Christian Leader. We feel that your character and department are worthy of a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and our prayer is that you may long be spared to continue your useful work among us. As you leave to attend the National Convention our hearts and our prayers go with you and our wish is that from all the many and varied conditions with which you must necessarily come in contact, you may derive only the best. Into the hands of the Great Disposer of Events we commend you with the prayer that He will take care of you and bring you back to us in safety. Signed: BRO. S. G. DYER, " W. I. SHARPE, " S. LEO, " E.

TICKETS - Western Baptist Ass'n Brethren Part Ways FACTION REFUSES TO BE DOMINEERED AND GOV-ERNED CONTRARY TO BAPTIST PRINCIPLES To the Editor of the California Eagle: Permit me, through the columns of your paper, to give the Baptist people of the state reasons for our withdrawal from the Western Baptist Association and the organization of another. We, who are withdrawing, feel and know that some of the most sacred rights of our denomination are being ruthlessly trampled by those who have recently come into our work. Some of our brethren are withdrawing because they feel it impossible to win any standing in the Association. Some have labored here for years, with untiring zeal and have made the Association glorious, but men come in who have as yet done nothing and set those aside who have done the work thus far and defeat them on the ground that they are not Baptist. But the bulk of our withdrawal is because we object now and always will object to having any man OVER-SEE us as a SUPERINTELE-DENT—which amounts to the office of BISHOP OF NEGRO WORK. We have proof that this superintendent, by his influence, is filling some of our leading churches with pastors—and if he can fill churches, he can empty churches. We have proof, also, that some of our best men have lost their churches through this same superintendent. What pains us most of all, some of the most honorable men among us have been shut out of pulpits by this influence, because this superintendent has personal feelings against these men. This influence has projected itself into all of our deliberations and even directed the elections of our officers in the Association. But, when this was done, then I declared war on the whole system, that robs Baptists of their freedom. This same influence has gone even into the politics of our city and state and is seeking to direct Baptist votes. Baptists are forced to secure railroad favors through this superintendent. Now, you would most naturally ask how can one man accomplish such feats in the Baptist Church when our church is democratic and ruled by the people. Now, that's the question. The PLAN_QF, CO-OPERATION as now practiced between "WHITE" and "BLACK" Baptists, permits the "WHITE" Baptists to place thousands of dollars into the construction of fine churches for black folks. When that is done, there is $n_0 free money, regardless of who gives it, as long as agents are appointed to follow that money with all sorts of restrictions. It would be better to have a tent with security and freedom from obligations, than fine churches and fat positions for a few and the RACE hindered in its freedom. Now, our separation is our surest protest against such abuses of Baptist prerogative. You will doubtless say, why not stay and fight, it out on the floor of the Western Baptist Association?-But after a most careful survey, we find it almost impossible for some of our leading pastors to change their position. The painful thing in our fight is that it appears that we are fighting individuals. These individuals are among our finest people, but however fine, we feel that our denunciation stands above all individuals. So we are not fighting individuals, we are fighting evil principles. Some of us fought these same battles before some of the persons involved were born. So we withdraw. We, who regard this pervasion of Baptist principles as the crime of the age, organize ourselves into a body of free Baptists to serve God in the simple Baptist way. REV. J. D.

Their poems are filled with sorrow, love, faith and hope. Though their poetry ranges through all possible themes, these Negro poets regard their racial heritage as a more precious endowment than their own personal genius and therefore we find more racially distinctive poems among their works. For McKay, Africa's past is not an abandoned shamble but a treasure trove: "My soul would sing forgotten jungle songs I would go back to darkness and to peace But the great western world holds me in fee And I may never hope for full release While to its alien gods I bend my knee. ...In Cullen's "Shroud of Color," the vision is one of loyalty, group pride and confidence; a revelation of destiny as that of a chosen people: "Lord, I will live persuaded by mine own, I cannot play the recrent to these: My spirit has come home, that sailed the doubtful seas." The outstanding literary productions of these poets are: "Weary Blues," by Langston Huges; "Harlem Shad, owes," by Claude McKay; and "Color," by Counter Cullen; "Counter Sun" is the latest book of Counter Cullen, whose work, according to Alain Locke, shares the polished lyricism of Sara Teasdale, Edna St. Vincent Millay and Robert Frost as much as it does the exuberant flow of an awakening Negro life. "Copper Sun" maintains the high quality and charm of the author's first volume. It has been ordered by the Jefferson Branch Library, 2211 West Jefferson St. and will soon be available to its patrons. ECHOES FROM THE GRAND LODGES Mrs. Angela Anglin, prominent in Lodge Circles in the Angel City tells by letter of the intensely interesting experiences she has had and is having in the East at Grand Lodge Conventions, She is in New York at this time, but previous to her arrival in that metropolis she attended the S. M. T. National Convention, which was held in St. Louis, Mo. At this Convention Mrs. Anglin was elected National Grand Assistant Secretary of the National Grand Temple of S. M. T. Mrs. S. P. Shores of our city was also present, and elected National Grand Trustee. En route to New York Mrs. Anglin visited some cousins in Philadelphia and renewed old acquaintances. In New York she has had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune and conversing with Mr. and Mrs. Noah D. Thompson at the Forum. This week the Elks held their convention and Mrs. Anglin and friends were expecting the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Elrin and Mrs. White of Los Angeles who left to attend the Convention. After favorable comments about the weather and sending regards from and to friends, Mrs. Anglin closed her letter and promised to tell us all about it when she arrives Friday, August 26, 1927 Volume 41, No. 12 PUELISHCD EVERY FRIDAY AT 847 Central Ave. Phone: VAndike 9244° Los Angeles, Cal. owe year... - SUESGRIPTION PM CMowtas -- - - $25 SIX MONTHS - - -- - + 125 | PER COPY - -- --- -" 05 ~~“Eniered as Second Class Matter, November 17, 1913, at the Post Office ‘at Lom Angeles, Califoraia.sunder thn act of March 3, 1879. ieeacs SS Gawass 2. 2 LS + Managing Eaitor JOHN E.

This concern has just moved right into the heart of the black belt, where we think business galore will be their portion. No concern deserves more than this one which has stood the test of time and the young men who com- pose the same have demonstrated rare grit and courage which is indeed worthy of reward, Likewise do we call attention to the Dorsey Super-Service Station at 9th and Central Avenue, where real effort has been made along co-operative lines of business endeavor. Here they can furnish tires to the customer at wholesale prices as well as all other automotive accessories. It is a modern up-to-date place, and worth giving a hearty support. THE COUNTY FAIR The harvest moon, vellow as a new cheese, rides in the heavens. The sun sinks in shrouded majesty, lighting a canopy of clouds banked in the West. A haunting mist softens the lines of the high board fence, the grand stand and the judge’s stand at the race track. ‘The twin lights of hundreds of auto- mobiles are gently blurred like stars beneath a filmy cloud. The evenuing breeze wafts the scent of new-cut com across the country. All is in readiness fer the county fair. For weeks the children and their parents have been looking forward to. the event. The women folk have been canning fruit and making pickles fo rthe exhibit. The men have féd and groomed the colt, the calf and the shorthorn. In the households and in the fields and barns careful preparations have been made for the scheduled competitive events. Here, also, will be a great open forum for the discussion of the issues which interest the farmer folk. The astute cam- paigner for county office will be bustling about with the pro- verbial box of cigars under one arm, the other free *o lift little Johnny Jones and his sister to his knee the while he praises them to their parents. Properly done this means two votes and maybe more. The displays in the agricultural hall are proper- ly arranged, as well as the exhibits of new machinery and oth- er mechanical ditices. The county fair is a great institution. Long may it live. Thousands of young men and young women (they aren't boys and girls after they get out of the grades) are entering high school this yesr, and if they are the right kind of young people they will get the right kind of a thrill from this expe- rience. Entering high school is an epochal event in the life of any- one who is blessed with the opportunity. Most students never get beyond the graduation period in the high schools. After that they either-go to work or loaf or do a little of each. ‘A great many young-people who enter high schoo! never iraduste: and that is a very sad mistake for them to make, and a still graver mistake o nthe part of the parents, providing the latter deliberately give their consent to a child leaving high school without graduating, when it is not necessary. x The first day in high schdol marks the beginning of an im- portant event in the life of the young man or young woman who enjoys the privilege of acquiring this important education. There will come a time in the history of this country (and it is approaching rapidly nowadays), when a young person without a high school diploma is going to find things pretty hard in this life. For education is the stepping stone to sue- cess and independence and without it all is slavish labor and interminable discouragement, Those who entered upon high school life today are to be congratulated. They are marching over a royal road and paving their own life's highway so that progress will be smooth and sure. peta | The fellow who is content with little usually gets less, Friends are all you have to keep you from being a stranger. Most of us think, we could do much better if we only had the opportunities whith we don’t realize-we have. With accidents increasing by the thousands every year, the subject of their prevention is engaging the carnest atten tion of individuals, employers, corporations, the press, motor giube, educational associations, city, state and national organi= tions, Falls cause ‘more deaths than any other form of accident according to the National Safety Council which is a clearing house of information relating to prevention of accidents, with headquarters in Chicago. : 4 Automobile fatalities in the United States approximate 25,000 annually it being estimated that almost 7,000 children alone were killed by automobiles last year in this country. In their own homes, thousands of people also lose their ‘lives each year through accidents. Last year the number of such deaths reached 18,000, with falls leading. 7 A majority. of all accidents of every description would be petvonted if people would exercise proper care and caution. ‘The sugar beet is one of the most dependable farm crops, Jn Western states.

MoCatn of 2400 Harries ‘sizest, Kansas City, i ta;8 vie ‘niast cht i openting When Tom Jones, the champion maker took over Johnny Adams, the San Bernardino boy who is called the "Mountain Lion," he had no dreams that his slugging protege would in less than a year be topping a big out door show that has a setting equal to the big arenas of the East. And JOHNNY ADAMS On to battle with Jackie Fields! At last the two boxers that the fans have been waiting to get together are together at last. Baby Joe Gans, the quiet, gentlely fighting machine who has been named the Young Master after his predecessor the "Old Master" will step out under the big flood lights to face Jackie Fields. In this idol meets idol. For there was never a colored fighter since the days of his namesake that is as well liked both personally and for his fighting as Baby Joe. MARTIN MARTIN He is clean-cut, fair, and friendly. He is the idol of his thousands of friends, both colored and white. Jackie Fields who has steadily fought his way to the top is also a well-liked boy and is the idol of thousands of white followers. All wanted to see him win over Mandell at Wrigley Field last fall and hope yet to see him with the coveted lightweight crown. Jackie fights every minute, is very aggressive and fairly clever. Gans as all know is a wonderful counter puncher, fast, clever, tricky and or late, has taken to carrying the fight into the enemy's territory. Both these great fighters being of such calibre a torrid battle is looked forward to that should end with Baby Gans with his tired mitt in the air. ALEXANDER RUDY STEINER VS. AGUILAR IN RETURN MATCH They have Greater Movie, Week, Clean-Up Week, Booze-less Week, and all kinds of weeks, so the only genuine boy promoter in existence - Master Carlo Curtis - is putting on a Greater "Main St. Week." To do this he is rematching two light heavyweights who put up one of the most desperately thrilling battles ever seen in a local arena. They are Rudy Steiner that great comer who stars the Bradshear stable and his sworn enemy Vincente Aguilar. Rudy stopped Aguilar in their last battle but he was one weary boy after the fireworks were over. Aguilar vengeance and has told all his friends to watch him pay back the grudge he has on Rudy. The "Wild-Cat" Scandal Story Wouldn't Stay Put ACE HUDKINS THOUGHT IN LIMELIGHT BY: HARRY LEVETTE Honk! Honk! Honk! went a horn, just as "Yours Truly" was about grab the hand barge of a moving "U" care at 23rd and Central avenue. Looking quickly around, there I be- held with surprise, Ace Hudkins, who is touted as the clean-cut "Wonder- Boy," the "Nebraska Wild-Cat," sit- ting at the ornate wheel of a beautiful Lincoln roadster, with a friend beside him. Across the front of the machine sprawled the skin of an honest-to-goodness wild-cat with his ears wiggling to the big pulsating motor. "Come on!" they yelled, "get in. Where do you want to go?" "To the Arcade station to get off some air mail." Youra Truly graffitly answered. As the swift car zoomed down the Avenue, swift thoughts zoomed through the cobweb of my brain. "Oh boy!" I yelled to myself sotta nice, "here is a chance for a real scoop story that any sheet in the country will pay real bucks for. Surely the Ace must be just getting in from a big night, although he is not known to do such things." With thoughts of wine, women and what have you on my mind, I timidly asked, "Why—or—or—a somebody asked." "Why—or—or—a somebody asked." "Soon' some one on the brain?" he inquired. "No." chime the answer—that settled it. "I just knew my conjecture was right, and my fingers soched to get at the old typewriter keys. So I blurted out." "Why—or—or—ah—surely you spenlencers are not just getting home from a large evening out in the blink of the disky white lights?" "No, Buddif! barely answered the "Cat," just going out to play some golf." And as I stamped off the running board, I sped for the first time the club-filled golf bag in the back of the machine.

LAMAR Little Ethel Stevens, a dainty little girl child about 17 or 18 years old had her first theatrical experience on the 18 weeks' tour of the Punchon and Marco Hi Brown ideas troupe. Now back from her trip with a finish and gracefulness in her dancing that makes her work outshine some with years of experience. She has a nearly perfect figure, clear, golden brown complexion, wonderful eyes and black luxuriant hair. Above all she has a natural friendly disposition that will take her much further in the world. O "Somebody said that it couldn't be done."—you've often read or recited that little booze when you are a kid, which ends with her laughter. Did she do it? Well, that is just what Mr. SI Masters, manager of the Olympic Auditorium did. Ever since their home boy Jack Dempsey fought the historical battle with Tunney all the fans have sohed to see the actual mod pictures of that battle. Yet, with the law against picture transportation in effect there seemed no way to see them but to journey to the State in which they were made. But Los Angeles woke up one morning to find that Mr. Silas Masters had put them on exhibition at the Olympic Auditorium. Almont as large crowds as attend a real fight have thronged in every night and have been going so for the month or more that they have been running. Behind this came the Dempsey Sharkey battle and this alone has settled all argument as to the supposed toiling of Sharkey. This is the typical Masters way of doing things and one of the reasons why Vernon succeeded and the Olympic is increasing in success. ALBO that boxing for the people's money is a "bumpup" and "no foofs". So three cheers for Murray, for really fighting and three cheers for ourselves for helping make him fight. FIDEL LA HARBA after all is a home product and it is good to hang him retire with the championship. He fought a careful but wonderful fight to beat Vacca. Too bad the Thompson affair could not be settled out of court. Law suits are bad in any business. Joe Diaz proved himself a wonderful boxer at Pasadena. Sluggers who never seem to learn should watch him box. Electric Club Baseball Season Closes The baseball league of the Los Angeles Electric Club has chosen its season with the completion of a series of twelve games. There are all ball clubs in the league. At the conclusion of the twelfth game, the teams of Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation and Southern California Edison Company stood tied for first place, each team having ten wins to its credit. At the play-off between the two teams which followed, the score stood 19-9 in favor of the "gas house gang," thus awarding them the season championship. The season's results follow: Won Lost L. A.

AWARD OF $1000 FOR NEGRO MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS Philadelpiia, Pa., August 22. (Spec- fal.) The award of the $1,000 in cash prizes, offered by Mr. Rodman Wana- maker, of this city, for the best com- Positions by Negro composers, will be made officially, and the names of the Prize winners announced at the an- ‘ual convention of the National Asso- ciation of Negro Musicians, Inc., to.be held at St. Rouis, August-20-26 inclu- sive.

Despite the very strong feeling of the Negro musicians for Vocal music, the compositions. employiiig voices, whether singly or in’ several parts, Were not generally of such a high standard, as those Wettig Thstruments. This, in the minds’of the judges, was probably due to the fact that song is the simplest of all forms to a com- Poser not thoroughly accustomed to ‘the expression of his musical thoughts and therefore'there were more of these ‘sent in than of the other and larger forms. But the standard of many compositions submitted was very nigh, ad the results of the contest, view as a ‘whole, were exceedingly encourag- ing, indicating a most promising f0- ture for the Negro composer. The large number Of classifications and the number of prizes offered served aga mighty stimulus for the inusiclans of the colored*riice ad has doubtless paved the way for a considerable nd- vance-in the near future. That Mr, Wanamaker himself was pleased with the result of the compe- tition is revealed in the fact that he will make a simllar offer for next year. The conditions of the new contest will probably differ sémewhat from those of the competition just olosed, bat they will be announced in ample time for any Negro musician to pa:tici pate. ‘Mr. Wanamaker offered the prizes through the Robert Curtis Ogden As- sociation of the John Wanamaker Store in Philadelphia, the organization having been nanied after the late Mr. Ogden, who devoted a large part of his Jife-to the assistance of the color- ed race. ae ‘The Robert Curtis Ogden Associa. tion is composed of the colored em: Bloyees of the Philadglphia Store and fe organized and maintained for edu- cational, social and recreational pur- 08s. .

There are times when it is necessary to get under the hood to correct some trouble and when you are through with the job, you are apt to wipe your hand on a piece of waste or an old rag. If you do, remember to get rid of the wiper and do not place it in the side pockets of your car. It may burn. When the sun beats down on the side of your car the temperature in the side pockets becomes very high and is likely to cause the rag to catch fire. This is not mere theory but a very likely probability. An oily rag, when laid on a fire after the latter has been run a few miles on a hot day, will often catch fire, which proves that an intense heat is not required for spontaneous combustion. And while we are on the subject of automobile fires, it may be well to remind you to look at the cables between the battery and the starting meter. The battery is usually held in a metal box and the cables often rub against the side of this or against the drive shaft brake rod, etc., causing the insulation to be caten away and exposing the bare cable to the metal. A spark at one of these points on a hot day may be just the thing needed to ignite gasoline vapors and cause a very serious fire. TICE Phone—— Res. Phone: 4996-M Stop! Look! Listen!

San Pedro Street (One Block North of Jefferson) Mr. Thad Winston, Los Angeles' prosperous plastering contractor just returned from Arizona where he completed a large job for the Santa Fe Railroad. He left his Ford truck down there in the hospital in a serious condition suffering from an attack of gas ritis, water out the radiator and deflated tires. Jimmie Smith and Mr. Lowe both prominent in motion picture industry grabbed the observation end of the Santa Fe limited last Sunday on route on the first leg of their journey to Paris to attend the Legion's big Convention. New York will be their first stop where Mr. Lowe who played the leading part in the picture Uncle Tom will appear in person on the opening night. Mr. Smith left his auto in the hands of good attendants. Some 72 boys scouts who have been up to Mt. Wilson spending their vacation motored back to town Monday and were load on their praise of the "Y" and Professor Greene. Brother Edwards or Balboa Beach was a welcome visitor in our city over the week-end. Several families and individuals motored down to Manhattan Beach, the storm center of recent bathing controversies and enjoyed a dip unmoisted Sunday. We hope those given over to boisterous conduct will improve their actions and help the race gain the respect of those who knock us. The other fellow has his rough element too but his action is looked upon as that of an individual, while in our group the entire race is blamed for the acts of one. Mrs. Hopgood and children and Mrs. Dorsey and daughter, motored down to Santa Monica to spend a week, Wednesday. Mrs. Wallace the lady in Watts who knows how to do things gave a youngsters winkle bake last Sunday. About 25 youngsters, big and little, were automobiled to her home in the afternoon and for a couple of hours ran wild over her little ranch. Johnnie Johnson, one of Ford's reliable salesmen is about to sell himself a new Ford. Gus Hawkins and his band or Ford immigrants are back in town. The boys hurriedly returned when it was discovered that their overly adored, overgrown Ford touring car had burnt out its brakes, burnt up its generator, blew out two tires, degenerated it battery, hesitated on its ignition. They hope to have the car repaired so they can start again next year.

AVIATION NEGROES HOLD INITIAL MEETING Several prominent persons of the race met on last-Monday night at the "Y" to talk over the possibilities of forming an aviation organization to promote and foster the teaching of flying amongst those fired with an ambition to fly while lacking funds to acquire the proper equipment. Just at present the names of the or- ganizations they have really gotten under way. The meeting was an important one and points the way to placing our boys in a position to become competent aviators instead of making monkeys of themselves by having the ability to fly but nothing to fly with as has been done on more than one occasion. The time is not far distant when aviation will be one of the leading modes of transportation and competent aviators must be had. No better place could be selected than Los Angeles with its ideal climate and its large population to select from. Let us hope they make a real go out of the attempt. Some of the motorists think they have made a great concession to the pedestrian when, they let them use the sidewalk, says Miss Vesta Edwards as a Ford jumped the curb and pulled up on the lawn in front of her. Lives of speeders all remind us, We can make our lives a curse, And departing leave behind us, Orphans, anguish, graves and hearse, —Emma Lue. A series of window displays showing important steps in the history of rubber from the planting of the tree up to the manufacture of the finished article is now attracting unusual attention at the Los Angeles branch of the United States Rubber Company, Eighth and San Pedro streets. In addition to the displays outlining the history and usefulness of the product, there is a display of the various manufactured products of the company. They were originally planned for the general offices in New York, but, because of their constructive character, were brought to Los Angeles in their entirety. There are seven windows in the series, five showing steps in rubber manufacture, one showing the tire factory in Detroit, and the other the headquarters in New York City. Foliage or the rubber tree is used liberally in decorating, and the educational value of each window is enhanced through explanatory easels. THE PLANTATION Clearing of the jungle, planting of trees and the method of tapping is shown in the first window, which has three panels. This window is entitled "On the Plantations." The company's rubber plantations in Sumatra and Malaya lead not only in size, but in scientific achievement, it is said. Various products also are displayed in the first window. The second window contains important displays of the collection and transplantation plants. The company has been growing crude rubber for fifteen years, and its plantation holdings total 133,919 acres, of which 75-433 acres have been planted. At every point in its handling of crude rubber, the United States Rubber Company exercises a close scientific supervision that has much to do with the quality of the products it is said. The third window has as a background a small spray plant and also a display of latex—the milk of the rubber tree. The usual method, herefore, has been to curdle the latex by adding acetic acid and then skimming off the coagulated rubber. The company, however, has developed and patented the spray process, in which the latex, trickling down to a whirling disc in a superheated chamber, is thrown off as a fine spray. FIRST STEPS The fourth window portrays the millroom scene in a factory and is entitled "First Steps in Manufacture." The window shows the various stages of the rubber in first entering the factory and then beginning of its fashioning into products. The making of a Royal Cord tire is shown in the fifth window and is a scene from one of the great factories of the company. The plum band process, the method of using these products are portrayed and explained, in each of the windows a number of products also are shown. United States Rubber products displayed in the sixth and seventh windows include bathing caps, shoes, rubber soles and heels, household articles, Royal golf balls, handballs and the various types of tire repair material. An unusual reduction of the number of automobile fatalities for July is noted in the monthly report of the public safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Fatalities from this cause in Los Angeles County were approximately one-half the total of July last year, and the city deaths dropped nearly one-third. In the provincial report for the month only eight fatalities are reported for July in the city, while in 1926 the total for the same month was twenty-two. For July this year in the entire county there were nineteen deaths attributable to motor vehicles, while in July last year there was a total of thirty-seven. The total for the year, however, to date shows 291 deaths from motor vehicles compared with 285 for last year up to July 31.
