E. of W., which is the largest fraternal body West of Chicago and which has the record of accomplishing greater things in a shorter period of time than any other fraternal body in the entire country festured with its Annual Election on last Tuesday evening at its meeting place, 8th and Wall Streets. The election stands out as an annual event in which there is always a deep interest, for the members are zealous in their efforts to select for leadership those who are really and truly qualified to put over the big program of progress and accomplis- really great things for the local body. In this situation there are at all time many good men to select from and this naturally makes the annual election a lively affair. Each broth- supporting their favorite and falling in with unanimous accord with the winner when the vote is counted. ELECTION RESULT J. B.

N. P.) indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 10.—The biennial session of the Central Association of Colored Women's Clubs will be held here December 28-30, according to announcement made by Mrs. Minnie Scott, Toledo, Ohio, the president of the group. This association is one of the five sectional groups of the national body and includes Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Each of the states enumerated will be represented. The president is urging a large number of women to attend the meeting as many problems of this particular section will be discussed. An interesting and instructive program has been formulated by the program committee, headed by Mrs. Mytter Foster Cook, Kansas City, Mo., and an alluring entertainment program has been worked out by the local committee of which Mrs. Lillian Jones Brown is the chairman. California's early settlers are gradually passing out and we realize that in their passing, we can but lament the fact that these sturdy pioneers formed a fit background for our future setting in California as a group. It has been said that Black folks especially those living in the United States, were not pioneers, but this does not hold true with regards to those who, along with white Americans, came to establish the foundation for one of the greatest cities in the United States. Along with the 1886 hordes came Shandy Bedney who settled in Los Angeles. Mr. Bedney has been a consistent citizen of this city and state for forty-one years. It is needless for us to say that he was a worthwhile citizen. In order that his friends and admirers may be reminded that his life is worth emulation, we are publishing herewith the obituary at his funeral service some weeks past. OBITUARY Eighty years was the ripe age at which Mr. Shandy Bedney on November 18th, 1927 passed from this life into a brighter one. He was born in St. Augustine, Texas. One of seventeen children. He was the oldest of twelve boys, all passed but one now. In his early manhood at the age of 22 years, Mr. Bedney married Miss Jane Barrett with whom he has lived during the past 58 years. Unto this union there was given nine children. Six living and three dead. He was converted and baptized in Dallas, Texas, in August, 1876 by Rev. Griggs. In June, 1886, he to Los Angeles and connected with the 2nd Baptist Church on Acquena St. At that time it was a small mission. Rev. Pierce, pastor. Later they bought site on Maple Avenue, where they remained until moving into this beautiful edifice. Mr. Bedney joined the faithful few that remained with the church from its infancy until his passing. He was not only a pioneer of this city but of the 2nd Baptist Church. He knew of its sorrows and joys and was proud of the fact that it stands out as a overcomer. Mr. Bedney was always the same. About him there was no pretence, no make believe. Eternity is not good for shams, so in passing he did not have to rhd himself of rubbish. He had lived a fearless life. He did not have to cringe. He could always look himself straight in the eye as well as his friends. He deserved all men's respect. He was a good provider for his family and loving father. Not foolishly so. He lived at him as he did abroad; stood for the things that he always thought were right and even at his passing he had the same love and respect of the children and grandchildren as if they were little girls and boys. It was always papa and grandpa in that simple child-like spirit. Even if they did not agree, no one would hurt papa's feeling. He was loved and respected by all. A loving companion. It was Jane so and so, and Shandy this, but always ending agreeably. He retired several years ago and his latter days were spent in harmony with his companion and loved ones. Nothing to worry about. He took life as God gave it and made the best of it. He had learned the lesson, there is impediment that cannot be overcome. No hindrance to usefulness that cannot be removed. He took sick on Tuesday, Nov. 16th and passed on the 18th. He leaves a wife and six children; six grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. We bow our humble submission, for we know in life, in death, in dark, in light, all are in God's care. So strike!—Thou art the Master, Lord and we the hear Our hearts shall breathe the old re frain. Thy will be done! The high esteem in which he was held was fully demonstrated through the medium of flowers and words of cheer given freely at that last service. Mr. Bedney did not live in vain. He was loved and respected by his children, grandchildren, other relatives and friends. He did not leave his widow incumbent upon his child- LOS ANGELES, CALIF. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16. 1927 Hurt in Auto Accident Mis Mattie Fortune, residing at 1432 E. 54th St. the victim of an auto accident while driving in the fashionable Beverley Hills district. Miss Fortune was knocked unconscious, she was rushed to the General Hospital, where medical attention was given. She is reported improving. SOCIETY MOURNS PASSING OF YOUNG MATRON Mrs. Frances O. Greene, one of the most popular of the young matrons of the city, died Monday evening last at the home of her sister, Mrs. Virgil W. Lee, 1016 East eighteenth street. Mrs. Greene was the wife of the popular young business man, Mr. Lawrence C. Greene, to whom she was married April 2nd, 1924. Besides her husband, she leaves her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Givens, her sisters, Mrs. John Lowry, Santa Barbara, Mrs. Paul R. Williams, Mrs. Virgil W. Lee and Mrs. Irene A. Freeman of this city and the brothers, Walter, Nathaniel, Phillip, Gerdonand William Givens. She was a native of Missouri coming to California when a mere girl. Since coming here she completed her studies in the Los Angeles city schools, graduating from the Jefferson high school in the class of nineteen and twenty-two. Being by nature sunny and cheerful the atmosphere about her was always warm, bright and genial which disposition brought her a host of friends and companions. Though actively known in social circles she gave much time and attention to church work and being a consistent Christian she trusted and relied upon her Heavenly Father so implicitly that she could say with the Psalmist of old, "Though I walk through the valley and shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me." Death came to her not as life's curse, but as life's coronation. Her life work was finished. Funeral services will be conducted Friday, December 16th, 1927, at 1 p.m. at Beth Eden Baptist church, corner Paloma and twenty-seventh streets. "Whom the gods love die young," was said of yore. And many deaths do they escape by this; The death of friends, and that which slays still more, The death of friendship, love, youth, all that is, Except mere breath; and since the silent shore Awalts at last even those who longest miss The old archer's shafts, perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save. Mr. Walker J. Manning left for Austin, Texas, to attend the funeral of his father, George W. Manning, who died on the 7th instant. Out other of town relatives who also attended the funeral were: Mrs. Ruth Goodings, New York City, daughter; and Mrs. Ellis Lewis, San Francisco, daughter; and Mrs. Ruth Davis, St. Louis, sister of the deceased.

The Bruins won the team honors of the meet, with a low score of 44 for the first five men across the line. It is the second consecutive year that coach Harry Trotter's men have been on top. ren for support, she is amply provided for and so Shandy Bedney even though you are dead, you still live in our hearts, and minds and we thank our God for such as you. "Contempt of Court" By: WILLIAM pPICKENS (For A. N. P.) Nowadays one never picks up the great American newspaper without reading therein that someone has charged some person with expressing contempt for some court, either by personally insulting the court or by refusing to heed its directions and mandates. If these contempt cases are half as numerous as the newspapers indicate, it is a serious situation. The courts, more than the legislature or the executive, are the bulwarks of the liberty of a free people. "Contempt of Court" indicates a great fault, either of the court, or the people, or of both. The frequent cases of contempt indicate either that the people are losing respect for courts or that courts are getting inordinately sensitive about their dignity and honor, or that both of these things are true. Either alternative is deplorable: either a loss of the citizen's respect for the court, or a lessening of the court's confidence in the power and influence or its own dignity or worth. There is nothing causeless. There is some cause for this growing "contempt" case. If it is unfortunate if the common people are getting the idea that courts are "class" institutions. But they will get that idea, if every time there is an "injunction," it is directed against the poor and in favor of the rich, against the worker and in favor of the employer, against labor and in favor of invested capital. If when a poor man steals a loaf, he is sent to jail the next day, while when a millionaire steals an oilfield, it takes years to bring him to trial and more years to try him and acquit him, courts will naturally lose their reputation among poor people, which is the most inevitable effect that ever followed a cause. Courts are no longer looked upon as divine institutions, set up by Jupiter or Osiris or Buddha. They are now known to be only human institutions, set up by humans, to serve the very human ends of justice in human relations. And if courts come to serve their purpose badly, they will lose the favor and respect of ordinary men; if they operate ill, like other human machines they may be ill-thought-of. Courts are very necessary human institutions. Even as evils, there seems to be no present way of getting on without them. Courts should therefore aim to deserve and conserve the respect of the average citizen. EMMA LUE SAYERS. 1108 East Twelfth Street, Los Angeles, (Calif).

Bandit! Kills White Man; Entire Family Forced To Flee Kills White Man; Entire Family Forced To Flee Covington, Tenn., Dec. 10.—Dee Lewis and his entire family disappeared following the killing of a young white man near here Thursday morning, who was alleged to have been slain by Lewis. A mob went to the Lewis home but found it vacant. According to reports circulating here, the trouble had its origin Wednesday night when Joseph Williams, the dead white man, along with four other whites went to the home of Normal Slater, a colored man, to have a little fun. While there and enjoying the social equality, Lewis came in and attempted to borrow some money from Slater. Being good fellows together, the white men playfully kicked Lewis and he retaliated by slapping Williams in the same playful fashion. This caused a little scuffle and Lewis emerged the best. Thursday morning, Lewis was at his home and saw Williams and the other white men coming toward his house. Sensing that his life was probably in danger, he rushed into the house and secured a gun to protect himself. A few words were exchanged and Lewis fired, killing Williams. A mob formed immediately, went to the home of Lewis, but was just too late. The entire county is being scoured, and if the Lewis family is caught there may be another lynch the. Atlanta School of Social Work Places Graduates In Positions In Social Service (By: A. N. P.) Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 10—Four graduates of the Atlanta School of Social Work have recently accepted positions in social service. Miss Alice Thomas of the class of 1927 has just been appointed Girls Worker with the Y. W. C. A. of St. Louis. Miss Armand Jones of the class of 1927 has just been appointed Community Worker with the First Congregational church, Raleigh, N. C. Miss Naomi Simmons who would have graduated in December this year has been allowed to accept the position of Case Worker with the Provident Association of St. Louis to begin work December 1st. She will be granted her certificate in absentia. Mrs. M. E. Henry of the class of 1926 has resigned her position with the Associated Charities of Memphis, Tenn., to accept the position of Case Worker with the Greensboro Board of Public Welfare, Greensboro, North Carolina. The placement of Misses Jones and Simmons was made directly by the school. In addition to these the school has at the present time applications for five additional workers, three Case workers in a large city, one as head resident in a settlement and one as neighborhood secretary with an Urban League. Bishop J. W. Martin At Hamilton M. E. Church Bishop J. W. Martin, D. D., of the A. M. E. Zion Church, residence in Los Angeles, will be the preacher at Hamilton M. E. Church East 18th St. and Naomi Ave. Sunday morning, December 18th, at 11 o'clock. Bishop Martin is a great churchman, educator and scholar, and will bring a great message. He needs no introduction to a Los Angeles audience. To hear him is a privilege. This privilege will be yours at the hour mentioned. Come and hear this great preacher who brings a message that is vital. The very fine choir or the church will render special music. J. H. B. Taylor, uncle of Mrs. Daisy Cerutti and who lives in Topeka, Kansas, returned for an extended stay at the home of Mrs. Cerutti. It is probable he will remain until the summer season, when he will accompany Mrs. Cerutti to her former home, when she plans to take an extended trip East for a much needed rest. On last Wednesday, about 2:30 P.M., Officer Leroy Kelley of the Newton St. division who was patrolling the beat near 51st and Avalon, on calling in was informed from Newton Street Station that a hold-up was in progress in a drug store at 51st and Avalon. The officer hurried to the scene, arriving in time to see the bandits jump into their car and start away. With a command to halt heeded, Officer Kelly unleashed his 45 with a result that one of the bandits was shot through and through, it is verily believed. The car sped East on 50th St. and was lost in the traffic. It is believed the bandits, one of whom is severely wounded, are in hiding in the neighborhood and will surely be apprehended. Louisiana Whites Stage Man Hunt Louisiana Whites Stage Man Hunt (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, La., Dec. 10.—Turning back the hands of time half a century New Orleans, Queen City of the South, staged a man hunt with imported bloodhounds from the State of Mississippi participated in by the elite of the city, men and women, in the early hours of Thursday, which resulted in the trailing of and arrest of Caleb Hawkins, a 49-year-old man, for the murder of Frank E. Fagot, conservation agent. Following the killing of Fagot Tuesday night, who attempted to arrest an unknown person for "shining" rabbits in Meterie Ridge the police authorities were unable to locate the guilty party, Red Eagle, a bloodhound, the property of Bob Gant of Crystal Springs, Miss., was secured and put on the trail. For fifteen miles the dog followed a scent through swamps, paved streets, in and out of stores, over back fences, aided by hundreds of white men and women on foot and in automobiles, to the home of Caleb Hawkins, at 4011 Holly Grove Avenue, where the suspected man was found sleeping soundly in bed. He denied all knowledge of the shooting, and it is said can prove a complete alibi. However, two more suspects were arrested by the police Thursday afternoon, and the dogs sent back to Mississippi. In all 300 Negroes have been detained by the police and questioned. Whites Want "Healer" Released Jackson, Miss., Dec. 10—Henry K Redmond, herb dealer, recently restrained by injunction from practicing his profession, has appealed the case to the state supreme court. The petition presented to the court was accompanied by several hundred signed statements from white citizens requesting that the injunction be nullified or amended to permit practice by Redmond, who in his cabin in Covington County has achieved considerable notoriety from his marginal, cures by the use of herbs exclusively to the chagrin of the white physicians who are responsible for the action of the state board of health. Alabama Hands Florida 25-0 (By: A. N. P.) Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 10.—The grid pupils of Coach Jazz Byrd of the Florida A. & M. College struck a snag in their victorious march when they encountered the Alabama State Normal Hornets at Paterson Field on Friday afternoon and had to accept a 25-0 defeat administered in a slow rain that continued for the full game on a muddy field which had already been soaked by the continuous rains of the preceding (twent) four hours. This was the final game of the season to be played at Paterson Field since the Hornet's season will be closed next Saturday when they engage the Tuskegee Tigers in the big Alabama Classic at Cramton Low: Of all sad words A man to jar, "Another note, due on your car." ON account or inclement weather, it was impossible for us to make great headway along the Avenue this week: We find at 2812 Central Avenue, Keystone Smoke House, 28121 Earl Shell Cafe a w. corner of 29th and Central, 2813 Central A.

Parker's Barber Shop, 32232 Bell's Tailor Shop, 3215 Louisiana Kitchen. THE latest reports given out by Southern Newspapers are to the effect that the Tiger Flowers estate has been swallowed up body and soul as it were, by Walk Miller, Flowers manager. Mrs. Flowers claims that the supposedly last will and Testament was made without her knowledge in New York a few hours before her band died, and that the said white ex-manager as executor of the estate, has so intimidated her that she is afraid to go on the streets to look after her personal affairs. The attitude of this white man to towards this Black Woman is an out- rage on Georgia justice. in this same country where a Black Man dares not gaze upon a white woman for fear that his intent of purpose might be mistaken, a white man is permitted to invade the sanctity of a Black Woman's home, attempt to take away her child, dispose of her estate and this Black Men of Georgia-speak not a word in her defense, not because they are not boiling with indignation, but because they realize that they have no legal redress in this land of Liberty. However, we believe that every race organization from New York to San Francisco should send protest against Miller's invasion of the Tiger Flowers estate to Georgia authorities. Let the world know that we resent Walk Miller's attitude towards Mrs. Flowers. NORTH Carolina avoids lynching by holding court on Sunday. Larry Newton, 23 year old Negro was being tried for the supposed murder of 15 year old Bula Tedder, the dead girl's father and brother rushed into the courtroom and attempted to further stain North Carolina's record with an another necktie victim; but the action of the court was too rapid for them and the lynching was avoided. IT is not always possible for a newspaper to discriminate as to which is, and which is not, legitimate ad- vertisement; hence we are more or less in hot water. One man comes in, and if you hesitate to see the merit in his proposition he complains. Another comes in and complains because you have published something that did not meet his approval as to proper advertisement. WE are not in favor of crookedness by anyone even if he or she is protected by their social standing we believe that a man who steals through mediums of insincere promoting of propositions sugar-coated by group pride, those who steal confidence of unsophisticated individuals, are criminals and should come within the bounds of the law, hence we are always in for a scoring. The public in general in its open discussions takes us to task at the suggestion or auto-suggestion of someone who is grieved. MISS Helen Wheeler addressed the N. A. A. C. P. last Sunday afternoon, and her message was highly appreciated by all who listened. Miss Wheeler who is a law graduate from the U. S. C. is one or Angeles' most splendid young women with a brilliant future in front. Just now she is putting in time in the law office of her brilliant uncle, Atty Willis O. Tyler from which she will emerge and bear the distinction of Los Angeles' first lady barrister. Success to you, Miss Wheeler, the N. A. A. C. P. enjoyed your message of hope last Sunday, and we are looking forward to a life that will be of benefit to us as a group.

U.S. Commission. Sets January 11th for Por- ers’ Hearing Despite the effort of the Pullman Comipany, through a motion to get the Interstate Commerce Commission to set aside the petition of the Brother- hood of Sleeping Car Porters, the Commission has set January 11th as the \date when Nearings will be held on the question of the furisdiction of the, Cominiseion ‘over the case of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters vergus the Pullman Company. ‘Acording to A: Phillip Randolph, General Organizer of the Porters’ Un- fon, thie is a signal victory, since the Puliman Company, as a result of the ‘manilatory Somers of the U. 8. Inter state Commerce Commission, will be compelled, regardless of its wishes, to face| the representativs and council of the [Union to argue the questions of jurigdiction. ‘This is probably the mst signif cant and far-reaching case in its social and economic implications, which has yet been presented to the Commission in a long time, says Randolph. The ascertainment of the relation of’ tips whigh the public supplies to the bare subsjstence wage which the Pullman Company pays the Pullman porters, is 8 very momentous, significant and ma feria matter tor the government def nitely to fix, from, the point of view of the wellbeing “and rights of th porters and inalds, the Interests of thc pabije and the industrial service eff cleney of the Pullman Company. Randolph indicates, however, tha should the Interstate Commerce Com mission fail to grant the relief the Union seeks, the Broththood has 1 progtam to carry the fight to the Iim ft which wil render tt imperative thal the United States Mediation Board rec ommend to the President the appoint men lof an emergency board for tht Burppse. of inquiring into the whol sitaation with a view,to satistactoril settling same. 7 AnpwiaArn., SERVICE Pts | COMFORT and SAFETY 1167 Miles of standard gauge track, closply connecting practicatly all important Southland Cities with— CONVENIENT - DEPENDABLE ‘tnd ECONOMICAL Service xs “Many delightful week-end trips to Beach and Mountain Resorts, Parks and |Picniegrounds may be made vie Our lines. _ j= ‘In ition to one-way and round- tetp fares commmutation tiekets are ‘occasional trav Bird nina a “who makes, every day, ch ‘Suda OF. exelnting’ Sun- or tor those who make more than one round trip per day and tor ‘the “who make occasional Sel ‘viniting, shopping, etc. > phy eee | APbly “AE Ticket OMee-for Furthe: (Pacific Electric Railway Real Estate Company.

TO YOUNG JACK Thompson and his manager Tom Sielski, some sort of an armistice signed so Jack can fight some more before his joints get squeaky. TO BABY JOE GANS a few more bungalows and apartment houses so he can sit pretty and toast his skins as he reads his bible like a good "Deacon" should. Also another date with Jackie Fields. TO BRUCE FLOWERS, Jack McVey, Walcott Langford, and a few other good colored boxes back East a chance to come West and try their hands at the California boxes. TO JUDGE LANKS a year or two more at the head of baseball till it begins to have the "clean" habit. TO ACE HUDKINS, enough victims to sharpen his claws on until he gets a chance to take the championship from Joe Dundee. TO THE BOXING COMMISSION a change of actions in various ways and a hope that the Wrigley Field night mare has not killed the boxing game. TO OUR GENTLE READERS, the big glad hand and cheerful grin. Glad you have found our pages of sport worth while and hoping you will continue to come to them when you wish the real low-down on sports of all sorts, both White and Black, but especially Black.

THE NEW YORK TIMES rific hitting Sergeant Sammy Baker who beat Ace Hudkins in N. Y. to the surprise of the boxing world. Truly enough he came out here later to lose to Ace but in his loss he covered himself with so many honors of a game battle that it has been the talk of the town ever since. There is no better body puncher in the game than this colored boy from Omaha, and he has a world of confidence in himself to stop the soldier. Baker has been training faithfully even before the match was made, and does not underestimate Long. Interest in the battle will bring a capacity house. A good supporting card has been lined up. --- LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1927 BROOKLYN Pedro Amador (left) and Santiago Zorilla (right), two little brown demons from Panama.

The Girl Reserves of 12th St. Center are again regaining a basketball team and are expected to go over the top this year. Coach Roger Willis is taking Coach Vernon Fulcher's place as their coach, the latter being out of the city and attending Kansas University majoring in athletic coaching. Mildred Smith, prominent in athletics at Polytechnic, was the only representative of her race from "Poly," to participate in Girls' Play Day, a day of athletics in which girl representatives of the various schools participate. The "meet" was held at L. A. High School, an the end of the "meet" found "Poly" victorious with the largest number of points. Mildred Smith was responsible for a great number of them, if for one, certainly hope Mildred keeps active in athletics. It has been rumored that a certain First Period Basketball team at Jefferson high school, is one of the best among the girls. You will know, why when you learn that four of the six girls constituting the team, are race girls and none other than the Misses, Anna Collier, running center; Dorothy Oneal, top center; Susie Therton, toward; and Helen Turner, guard. All of those girls deserve congratulations for their splendid work. It has recently been learned that Miss Maudine Simmons, well known among the younger set, is showing great promise of being a future "Juliette."

Daggett. DECEMBER LOS ANGELES MAIDS ANNIVERSARY Xmas again, and with it comes memories of the first day a limited train left Los Angeles with a maid on it. Many of the maids were hired during that joyous month of December have left the service, some have captured husbands and others have sought other positions. Those who were hired when the trains were first put on are now three years in the service, and naturally can well boast of three years traveling education which is not to be snickered at by any means. At traveling education is in a class by itself, one can gain a vast amount of experience by traveling, to prove this enter in to conversation with any one of the Los Angeles maids and see for yourself, some have been to New York, Canada, and many other cities since they entered the service and what's more they can tell you some things they will hope for you. All because they have traveled education. Our maids are intelligent, polite, and most of all the most efficient set of maids operating on the Pullman cars today, this much they have proved by three years of high class service. Following are the maids who are now three years in service out of the Los Angeles district: Blanche Hall, Hall, Hawel Lewis, Magnolia Pickens, Ella Greer, Alice E. Harey, Lillian Gilmore, Blanche Mattison, Eudora B. Jasper, Mamie Bradshaw, Hazel M. Robinson, and Tennie Upton. May they continue to render the same high class service during the coming year as they have in the past. The Railroad Clatter wishes them at Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. STRONG RUMORS THAT POPULAR COUPLE ARE MARRIED Steal Off To Carnel By The Sea For Quiet Moneymoon Although the news could not be authentically verified it has been reported to the writer by friends of Maid Hazel Lewis and Lawrence Cloyes that the popular couple left last Sunday for that quaint little land or romance called Carmel by the Sea, made famous by Aimee McPherson as a town of love and bliss, it has been no secret that the artful wooing has been going on for some time, and when Miss Lewis got a leave or absence for 90 days, and Mr. Cloyes also got relieved for an indefinite period, the wise ones winked their eyes and said. It won't be long now Miss Lewis was spotted with a beautiful smile that her finger and a smile that was a little above and a great deal more brilliant then just a plain ordinary smile, so nothing could be sweeter than to put the famous two and two together and wish them all the countless nice hings that one could wish when one becomes a victim of that wonderful climate of Carmel by the sea. If it's so Congratulations and if not, Why not? And we beg your pardon. WOMEN'S ECONOMIC COUNCIL HAVE MEETING A large meeting of the Women's Economic Council was held last Monday eve at the Y.W. C. A. the ball was packed which shows the interest that this organization is attracting from the leading colored women of Los Angeles. Mrs. Lula Slaughter, the president made a wonderful address and was loudly applauded at its close, a new sec'y was elected on account of the former sec'y being in ill health and unable to continue the duties of that office. A report of the whist tournament was made by Mrs. E. Rogers which was very pleasing and encouraging. A dance is being planned by this organization sometime during January the accounts and exact dates of which will be published in this column on a later date. P. P, B. A. OF SENDS XMAS GREETINGS The P. P. B. A. of A. played Santa Claus last week when they mailed substantial checks to the following porters: R. Kelth, J. B. Minter, G. W. Owens and J. L. Hill. PORTERS PLAN OUSTER PROCEDINGS FOR J. W. BOTTs. In a general P. P. B. A. meeting held in this city last week with R. L. Williams as the prominent speaker, a loud voice of protest was manifested against the methods of Controller J. W. Botts at Chicago. The men expressed and stated in plain words that they had had about enough of Botts dealings since he has been in office and plans were being rumored of an ouster proceeding to be instituted in an effort to get rid of the Hon. Mr. Botts who got his job through his job through his brothers blood, and not on his merits. TIME CLOCKS PUT ON NEW YORK DINERS 26 diners operating over the New York Central Railroad are now equipped with time clocks for the benefit of the passengers traveling on that road. STOREKEEPER M. M. FENNESSY DROPS DEAD Mr. M. Fenness store-keeper for The Pulman Co. at the So. Pacific yards dropped dead in the yards last week. His death came as a great shock to the Pulman Co. for over forty years and was well liked by all who came in contact with him. A list for flowers was posted in Mr. Taylor's office which was liberally subscribed to. PRESIDENT E. F. CARRY'S XMA8 GREETING May The Pullman Family, one and all, have a Merry Xmas, with all its joys and rewards; and the New Year hold for all of you Happiness and Success.

Spivey was the red cap that Harry K. Tahy forgot to tip. J. M. Brice says he will build any kind of house you want for nothing down. That ought to be a good proposition for any one to take. R. Hicks has been off for a trip looking after his ranch in Watts. The same young man that had the nerve to ask A. Noel if he thought he was capable enough to act as grand delegate to the grand lodge for this local, was the first one to congratulate him upon his return. What a funny world. Maid Newsome who was here temporary from Chicago, has returned to that City. Ever since the little girl who was so terribly murdered last week, a lot of great big husky women claim they are afraid to go out after dark. Don't worry nobody will bother you even if you all night long. L. Jenkins Jr. is still trying to make both ends meet on the Portland tourist car. Joe Holmes is still on the Gold Coast Limited. Ed. Foster gave the writer his subscription for the Eagle last week. The writer will drink water this Xmas as usual, thank you. Any body who is going to serve egnogg at their house this Xmas will kindly let the writer know by mail, so that he can be their early. Two Irishmen went to New York on a Xmas morning, nearly every salon they came to had Tom and Jerry up over it finally Pat said to Mike, sucker for the money, but he rich own all the saloons in town. The Railroad Clatter, wishes its readers a Merry Xmars and a Happy New Year. UNION PACIFIC GOSSIP Considerable importance has been attached to the decline in railroad earnings in the fourth quarter of this year as an evidence of an important factor in the depression of railroad business, passenger traffic was consistently below the previous year, although roads operating to the coast record the season just ended the bee in the history, the factors governing railway operations and railway profits are all encouraging according to R. H. Ashton, President of the American Railway Association, while these predictions may be true the time is opportune that we should give more serious thoughts to the economic situation that is facing our file and rank not why we concentrate our thoughts along a course that will mean dollars and cents o us at some future time. ONCE OVERS Superintendent H. A. Hansen of the Omaha district is reported making a business trip in Kansas. A special train of "Real Silk Salesmen" left over the Union Pacific for St. Paul, Minnesota where a national convention will be in session from the 20th to 28th.

CHICAGO AFTER DARK Owing to the usual holiday travel on transcontinental trains it has been necessary to supply the seventh man on trains Nos. 27 and 28, some of our boys that were replaced with older men when the crews were cut some few weeks ago, are being remembered with being given the preference.

Mrs. Felix Fogg of Minneapolis arrived in the city to make this her future home. JOS. PIRRONE The man who has made Winter League Baseball possible by which many Negroes are employed at White Sox Park and local fans are afforded the opportunity to see the star players of their race in action, is Mr. Jos. Pirrone manager of White Sox Park and of Pirrone's Al-Starsl. The large overhead expense for the operation of a plant with practically only 21 Sundays as a possibility of income is a gamble, the average business man would not undertake. His doing so is prompted greatly by his love for the sport and the desire to keep Winter Baseball in the game. The intrepid and genial Pirrone is always highly appreciative of the patronage and co-operation of the public. And Patrons Of THEATRE GRANT WISHES YOU AND ALL XMAS And NEW YEAR.

Eagle Buffalo, N. Y. Dec. 14. After 10 years or more of unchecked property the Ano industry during the past year company it most of slump. Sales fell off consequently production had to be curtailed. This act necessitated the laying off of thousands of employees temporarily. Where such a drastic course has to be taken it sharply interferes with the economic status of the country. Such being the case business has suffered along all lines for lack of purchasing power. The greatest factor in the contributing circumstances of evidence has no relevance to new world policy, give to the waitime world something new. Something different from the model that has served the auto mall so faithfully; that has regulated prices and made it possible for the man with the lunch pail to own and enjoy an automobile without selling his life. AND NOW And now that the world has been given a neep at the mysterv car and promised early deliveries things have changed a bit and the public is wearing a slight smile to greet the incoming yuletide. Then too other auto concerns are making changes. Have you heard of the new Hupmobile or about the hinted 8 cvilinder Studebaker. What about the new Pierce Arrow with the headlights removed from the fenders on all standard equipment or the many new changes be made in many other lines. Nineteen Twenty Seven has as here stated been an exceptionally lean year but the prospects of 1928 look bright. Here in the east the citadel of the motor industry big interest are in suring words of hope. The General Motors, Ford Interest, The Du Ponts even Wall Street is straightening house in expecting of at least a better and more prosperous year. WHAT DOES IT MEAN All this showing can but point to better living conditions for the masses. Steady employment and for the hundreds of our groups skilled in mechanics capable and competent of filling positions of skill and trust an opportunity to at least be heard and heard, and to be heard and heard, but equality of opportunity and with the industrial barometer of prosperity slowly using it appears ya me ----S. C. AUTO LAUN AND LATEST EQUIPME Prompt and Sat 9th St. at Central Y A NEW CAR--LET CHEL Are you a self-starter—or do you have to be cranked? A large number of people in this world have to be cranked, and a few are equipped with self-starters. By self-starters we mean the boy who goes ahead and does the job without waiting to be shown about it. The fellow who needs cranking may run a while on his own momentum, once he's started, but when he stalls he is as helpless as an automobile without a self-starter. The old mental engine has to wait until somebody turns it over again. That's the easy way to go through life. Let someone else do your self-starting for you. But your pay will always be in two figures. Think of that! The hundred-dollars-a-week jobs belong to the self-starters. They're the boys who are always hunting for something else to do. In addition to their regular work. And it is always the self-starter who cuts himself loose from the payroll to roll up the road to success—alone. Who told Columbus to discover America. Nobody. Henry Ford had tough luck selling stock on his first car, which didn't have a self-starter. But Henry had one under his hat, and that sufficed for the time being. Are you getting ready to jump into a job and attach your self-starter to it? Or do you want to be cranked? thinks in the distance I can see capital and labor extending the hand of friendship to their black brother willing to help him out of the mire up on the platform of prosperity that he who has helped uninchingly to make this great nation, these United States what it is industrially, politically, and civically might enjoy and share with him, a belated holiday, a day of rest so to speak extending over the Holiday season from whence all shall emerge and go forward prepared to help do their individual part toward making 1928 a banner year along all lines. Might we add we wish each and all a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. COLORED AUTO CONCERNS HOLD OWN BUSINESS ON THE INCREASE Mr. Exhaust is deeply indebted to Mr. Carpentier, Mgr. of Lincoln Theater for the courteous treatment accorded the Oakland visitors who were shown through the building last week as our guest. Information informs us that Mrs. Earl Lenear, wife of San Francisco's leading chiropodist, and daughter are to spend the holidays in our midst guest of the Cook family on Glassell St. We do not know whether the trip was made by motor or not. Ran into "Fits" Alexander the fiery Negro democrat one day last week and he filled us full of fifte tales about the wanderer new fishing grounds, he discovered on a motor trip he just completed. If the fish were as good as the tale why he has a gold mine. Lest Saturday night the front of the Y. M. C. A. looked like a street garage so many autos were parked there during the basket ball games. Mr. Sam Thompson and son were noticed parked in an auto at the S. P. Station with their heads together last Friday. Be a great iden if more fathers and sons were able-to get together and share all over things. Judged Blackwell who was temporarily associated with the once auto salesman Al Johnson a while back has returned from a visit to his home town in Kansas and is sporting an Auburn roadster in place of the Buick he formerly had. Attorney E. C. Jennings motored in to see us the other day and our chest swelled with pride as this modest yet distinguished citizen considered us important enough to make us personal Xmas call. We have often wondered what made it possible for him to succeed in the practice of law like he has in our city in the seven years he has been a citizen and have arrived at the conclusion it was his friendship toward his fellow man regardless of one station in life Merry Xmas Attorney. Merry Xmas Automobile businesses conducted by colored concerns is holding its own in fact it is increasing by early stages. Ten years ago there wasn't but one or two businesses in the entire city conducted by the group. Today there are over twenty legitimate businesses engaging in catering to the auto trade. Several large super service stations grace the traffic arena. Repair shops and battery stations are also somewhat numerous beside one or two accessory stores and independent number of salesmen and one or two auto agencies. Fact is there is no room for one to complain in the face of business depression. When one considers the undisputed fact that there are over 3500 colored auto owners it can readily be understood why the auto concerns in business are holding their own. The thing these business concerns should do is to organize hot to dictate prices but to meet and see if there is anything that can be done to better their positions collectively. And it is to be hoped that they will get busy and do something to that end. AUTO TOP REPAIRING Mr. L. Westbrook who specializes in auto tops and trimming is reported as doing well in his line. He is an expert in his line and enjoys the distinction of being the only colored top trimmer in the city. Elizabeth Lake Road In Good Condition On the route from Los Angeles to Elisabeth Lake via Bouquet Canyon, pavement is had via San Fernando Road or Hollywood, Cahuenga Pass North Hollywood, etc., according to the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club. Pavement is continuous through Newhall and Sauge and to the junction of the Mint Canyon Road. From this point a graded dirt road rough in spots is had to Liona School and very good dirt to Elizabeth Lake. The distance is 65 miles. Big Oak Flat Road O.K.Past Meadows The Big Oak Flat road leading into Yosemite Valley is open and in excellent condition to Buck Meadows and four miles beyond, according to the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club. This road is very good with the exception of a short stretch where it is being macadamized, and will be open to a point four miles beyond Buck Meadows without chains, during the entire winter. At the present time cars are getting through to Carl Inn by detour to Mather, thence to Carl Inn, however, this road is likely to be closed at any time by fallen trees. Pasadena To Celebrate Paradena again will be the scene of the annual Rose Tournament Jan. 2. For years this has been one of the big attractions of the west. Thousands make the annual pilgrimage to witness the floral parade and other amusements. The traffic problems have been overcome and those desiring to attend will be amply taken care of. Advice is go early and spend the day as it will be worth your while. CONCERNS HOLD ON THE INCREASE * Auto License Plates Being Issued Auto license plates for 1928 are now being issued. Thousands have been given out since the opening day Dec. 15th. The deadline is Jan. 31 so don't be caught napping as you may be pinched for your failure to get your plates. Looks like the total registration will go to a million seven hundred thousand this year. HARRISON AUTO PAINT CO.

B. Campbell, golfing expert, to his attractive scholar, Miss Virginia, ppoular radio blues singer. The slogan of the Credit Tire Company, on the tire cover of Miss King's car, as his inspiration. "Mental hazards are the bane of motorists, just as surely as they are the bugaboo of the golfer," says Campbell. "Among the motorists' mental hazards, the worst is the knowledge that on one of his car's wheels is a worn down tire, just aching for an inopportune moment to finish its long service with a glorious blowout. The driver who knows that one or more of his tires is ready to go flat at any moment is in no mental condition to attend properly to business. He can even enjoy a ten mile drive with the family. He is driving under a mental hazard." HARLEMITES HAVE NEW THEATER New York, N. Y., Dec. 7.—The biggest theater project in New York within the past decade is the merger of the Alhambra and Lincoln Theaters under the management of Mrs. Downs, owner of the Lincoln. The Alhambra, at the corner of 12th Street and Seventh Avenue, is the largest theater in the section. It was formerly a Keith House and has housed Florence Mills' and Ethel Waters' shows in the past. Mrs. Downs and Mr. Snyder, the manager of the Lincoln, plan to run only first-class productions in the Alhambra, and it is expected that the new house will prove one of the biggest attractions in the theatrical life of New York. The new arrangement goes into effect on December 5.

"There is really no excuse nowadays for motorists to allow themselves to be burdened with the unpleasant uncertainty. At any one of the Credit Tire Company's ten southern California stores, any driver may walk in with a dollar and walk out with a Hood." Those famous Hood tires, which have won their world, renowned through years of proven service, are sold at these stores on such easy terms that every driver can set his mind at ease by riding on the best. He doesn't have to answer any embarrassing questions when he come to buy, either; nor does he have to leave his pink slip. He simply buys, or easy terms at cash prices, tires which will relieve him of his worst menta hazard for thousands of miles. Father Arrested For Brutal Treatment Of Daughter (By: A. N. P.) New York, N. Y., Dec. 7.—LaMount Burnett, a taxi driver, is being held for investigation following the charges filed by his eleven-year-old daughter, Dorothy, who charges that he beat her unmercifully and drove her from her home while she was suffering from scarlet fever. The mother of the child told the judge that she had gone to the store to purchase some chops for her husband's supper, when she was told by one of her neighbors that the child had been seen running towards the station house. She further testified that the child had been suffering from scarlet fever and that the physician had ordered her not to leave the house. The magistrate was so impressed with the story that he ordered Burnett held without bail and when questioned about the affair declared that the child's mother was responsible for the whole thing, because she had refused to prepare his meals. Jilted Lover Leaps To Death New York, N. Y., Dec. 7.—Andrew Godson committed suicide here last week when his sweetheart, Lola Harris, told him that she no longer wanted him.

Dear Madam: Many people envy the beauty of others.

PETER GLADYCE GREENAWAY following in our column we feel sure that the sympathy of our readers, as well as yourself, goes out to Mrs. Turner who lost her daughter, Marion Turner Gonzalez, on the 30th of November. Mrs. Gonzalez was a former Sweet Sixteen girl and highly esteemed by her friends. A semi-formal affair will be given by the Hi-Y boys and the Girl Reserves, December 23rd. More will be written about the affair later on. Ivy Anderson, "that bundle of pep" is proving a sensation at the Lincoln. The show was very good this week—the acting of "Johnny" who takes second leads, standing out. The dancing of the chorus is good, but the costumes weren't as beautiful as they have been. --- The dancing class at the "Y" which meets every Wednesday evening is going full blast. Every girl enjoys the dancing and all the girls hope to be able to dance the Russian dance soon. The "game of the season" Christmas Day between the N. N. B. and Merry Makers, will take place at Snyders Field. This game will decide to whom the silver cup will go. The Merry Makers won the cup last year. We know the Easterners and Northerners feel awfully bad when they read about California's balmy sunshine. But still we would like a little snow for Christmas. But whatever the clime or wherever you be, you will always hear during Christmas week "Here's how," or "Say when." Well, we are certainly glad that Willie Middleton got his car back. It was stolen during the Thanksgiving game at the Coliseum and Willie was foot-ooting it around trying to find his "baby." Whoever took it must have gotten cold feet and discarded it, or maybe it ran out or gas. Miss Chancey Dudley entertained with a little house party Thursday, December 5th at her home on W. 35th Pl. Miss Dudley and Mr. Leon Purdue took turns at the piano. Later on delicious punch was served. Miss in the evening dainty sandwiches and Dudley proved a very delightful hostess and everyone spent a very enjoyable evening. The "Washington News" carried this headline nor so long ago: "CHEMIST'S HEADLESS BODY STARTS SEARCH FOR RUM SUSPECTS." That's a new vocation on us, but perhaps we're behind the times. Mr. George Wright of West 36th St. entertained a few friends Sunday, December 11th.

Besides Mrs. White's talk there will be a musical program of unusual excellence The program will be the first time the general public has been invited to hear Mrs. White. A REAL TREAT! "The Dust o the Earth," a thrilling 4 act drama by Katherine Kavanaugh was presented to a very pleasing audience Monday evening, Dec. 12th at Labor Temple. For many years the lovers of high class drama have yearned for just such class of entertainment. The cast was well chosen. Each character was outstanding. Nell, "the dust of the earth," so wonderfully enacted by Mrs. Lean Wilson, won for her many admirers. Her natural vivacity and winniness are very pleasing on the stage. In fact the principles received all the support necessary to put it over. The musical numbers - by Messrs. Chas. Boston, Herbert Ward, and Miss Gladys Wells accompanied by Prof. Elmer C. Bartlett, were heartily received. The kiddies Band, of which Miss Emma Miles is pianist, furnished appropriate music during the rendition of the drama which added much to the attraction. Space will not permit me to mention the work of each character, but I will say that professionals could not have pleased its audience anymore. Mr. Lyman Lee, as David Moore of the Maples, was indeed the man for the part and the Ladies Usher Board of the First A. M. E. Church, feel very much indebted to him for the valuable assistance rendered by counsel and advice in making the drama a success. Too much cannot be said of the modest, unassuming little directress Mrs. Annie E. H. Guess, who with her assistant, Mrs. Clara K. Burgess, have labored untrilingly to give the lovers of spoken drama a real treat. The Ladies Usher Board of the First A. M. E. Church always gives us big things. Keep up the good work ladies. I conclude by saying—"A wonderful drama wonderfully presented by a most wonderful cast." EDELL SOCIAL CLUB The Edell Social Club met with Mrs. Johnson on E. 33rd street, Wednesday.

Masonic Hall, 50th and Central. On the evenings of the first of December the Native Californians a club of native daughters of California were hostesses to about five hundred guests, the occasion being their first annual ball. The ladies were very beautiful in gorgeous gowns and the gentlemen upheld their reputation of looking exceptionally well in formal dress. The music was of the very best which goes without saying by merely mentioning the fact that Rene's Orchestra were the musicians. The orchestra was partially hid from view by many potted palms; the other decorations were in keeping with the holiday season consisting of poinsettas and greenery. Punch was served by two very charming little maids. After the dancing, the members of the Club and their husbands and escorts hurried to the home of the president, Mrs. Lauretta Butler, and there enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner, with the holiday fixins. The Native Californians are indebted to Mr. Osborne, the husband of Mrs. Madelina Osborne, for his very cheerful helpfulness in aiding to make the whole affair a tremendous success. It Last!!! OS.

BY: MATT SOLOMON Mrs. Anna Surratt, one of the old residents of Pasadena passed away on last Saturday morning at her home on Oak Knoll Avl., after a short illness. The funeral was held Tuesday from the Friendship Baptist Church, officiated by Rev. W. D. Carter her pastor. Rev. W. D. Carter, the pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, and Moderator of the Western Baptist Church, who very recently returned from N.Y., where he attended the executive session of the National Baptist Convention, made a hurried side trip to the Valley to attend the dedication of the new Baptist Church. The Reverend has left no stones unturned since being elected to this all important position which he has filled with so much dignity. After an absence of three weeks he will fill his pulpit next Sunday. The White Xmas of the Friendship Baptist Church, under the auspices of the Adult Department will hold its exercises Sunday night in the main auditorium of the Church to which the public is invited. An elaborate program has been arranged, with special music by the choir under the direction of Director Capt. W. M. Reynolds which promises to be quite inspiring. Short talks will also be made by the pastor and the general superintendent. Mrs. Maggie Reynolds, wife of Capt. Reynolds, received the sad intelligence of the death of her sister, Mrs. Drucilla Woodall, cf. Topeka, Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Perry motored to Frisco last week where they visited relatives and friends. They were accompanied by their daughter, Dorothy all of whom enjoyed the trip immensely. The Big Chitterling and Dinner- Dance given by the management of the Eureka Cafe, E. G. Francis has proven quite a drawing card for the lovers of the dainty repast. Mr. Francis is certainly using every energy to make the Cafe a success and should not be met with failure. Mr. James Wood, one of Paradena's most promising young men is making preparations to build a mortuary on South Vernon Avenue which will be a monument to the race. As particulars have not been given out de- finitely we will reserve further comment. Mr. Wood has his certificate as a licensed emblamer and is ready for action as soon as developments warrant. Mrs. Nora Boykin, who was seriously burned a few days ago at her home is improving very nicely but has been quite ill from the effects of her in- juries. Mr. J. A. Cummings of 548 Manzanita Street was taken to the Old Soldiers Home at Sawtelle last Wednesday to recuperate from his illness which for some time has been quite serious. * * * The Annual Emancipation Day exercises under the auspices of the Ministerial Alliance will hold their celebration at the First A. M. E. Church, Sunday, January 1st, at 3 P. M. Attorney W. O. Tyler, the best known attorney of our group in Southern California will be the speaker. The public is invited. Dr. J. T. Whittaker says his Fox Ranch is destined to be one of the biggest industries in Southern California. One thing surely can be said of the Doctor is this: that he certainly is progressive. Since his first coming here he has undertaken venture after venture out of the ordinary with nothing other than success as his goal and has gone on silently but surely and met with success all along. We congratulate him and wish that more of our representative men would become visionary. Other men are associated with him in this venture but the idea was born in his mind as this is a side issue. Dr. Whittaker is one of the best surgeons in this part of the country irrespective of nationality or race. Some time ago a campaign was waged by a local Pasadena Paper in the interest of the City of Pasadena Health Department. "Child Hygiene Department pertaining to the sanitation of the child from its birth up to the school age. Among the many subjects gleaned was the one in particular pertaining to the preparation of the child for school each day, under the option: Am I Ready For School?" in the form of a question regretted, which included the following question which should be of much interest to most of our parents when you look around and see how unkempt the children are when going to school each day, girls especially, with their unkroomed. The following are the questions for your consideration: "Is My Face Clean?" "Is My Neck Clean?" "Are My Ears Clean?" "Is My Hair Combbed?" "Did I Brush My Teeth?" "Are My Finger Nails Clean?" "Are My Clothes Neat?" "Are My Shoes Shined?" The answer is LOOK AND SEE. All of these queries should interest the parents most seriously before their child starts for school each morning thereby preventing so many snarling remarks as to the sanitation of our children which in many cases are absolutely true. Just a little more time with the children would correct a great many evils. Look and see. We might add that this campaign was open to the public but sorry to report that not more than three mothers of our group thought it worth while to attend. Besides being in the rubbish business, the Grant Boys have added another link in their chain in the form of a hog ranch over in Alhambra where they have many hogs of all "APPEARANCES" Transformed as if by Magic! colors. Much credit should be given these men for the step they are taken or late years in trying with might and main to really do something worth while and they are certainly accomplishing it. Russel, the senior member of the firm is an old-timer around Pasadena and is well thought of while Earl the junior member a recent comer in these parts, formerly chef on the largest railroads of the country has made good since being in Pasadena. These boys are both young and with the ambition both possess they are certain of success. The local paper devoted much space to the details of Pasadena High-Hawaiian game in Honolulu resulting in a victory for the Pasadena team. Personal mention was made of our star player "Slick" Stocks, by whose sensational playing the game was won. Alvin Brownlee another of our group was also in the game. The most interesting event of the month was a Formal Dinner given by the Cecellian and Forward Step Classes of the Young Peoples' Department of Friendship Baptist, Church, December 8, 1927 at the home of the Departmental Supt, Mrs. R. C. Harris, 599 Ashtabula street. Among those present were: Mr. Fletcher Smith, Gen. Supt, and wife; Mrs. Hubert, teacher or Cecellian Class; Mr. H. Lampkin, teacher of Forward Step Class and wife; and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Turner and Mrs. R. C. Harris.

Religion Answers Pseudo-Science Will God Answer Prayer? By: DRUCILLA DUNJEE HOUSTON (For: A. N. P.) We are living in a day of miracles. Religion has no complaint to make against true science, which fulfills the purphecy of Christ, "Greater things than I do, shall ye do." Everywhere the wizards of science have been men through whom God's spirit has worked the miracles of electricity, the radio, and the airship. The "little fellows" who cannot work miracles attract attention to themselves by sensational charges against the God whose Spirit refuses to work through them. Among their rantings we find the question. When has God ever answered prayer? One atheist continues by pointing out that at the beginning of the world war, the people on both sides prayed to God to kill their enemies but that the war went right on. God must have been answering both sets of prayers. At any rate the war was ended by PRAYER. Most men believe in and have benefitted by prayer, which is no more miraculous than the radio. Educated men have often noted in their study of history how powerfully God works on the winnings side in answer to prayer. George Washington was a praying man. Storm, sleet, and fog worked for him in winning battles and in covering his reteats. It took the north four years to whip the bleeding and impoverished south, because they were led by the praying Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Cromwell's men were psalm-singers and unconquerable. Napoleon was not defeated by Russian armies but God, destroyed his armies with the Russian blizzards. In the world war, Germany had Italy so hard-pressed that Italy prayed earnestly for one week's respite. God answered their prayer. For three long weeks, even in this country unprecedented snows fell; when the storm abated, Italy was READY and Germany never regained the former vantage. Soldiers were in the trenches that first winter, mothers were praying and each of us can remember how light a winter God sent upon the earth. What stopped the war?

It looked as though father and older brother must go, then America began praying in earnest, his bellows clapping in morning, noon, and night, until even the caretaker turned to prayer. The Hindenberg time if he avered and before it if he completed had been signed. No God does not answer! And our own black boys who marched out from Newport News, night after night to the strains of Negro "spirituals" and our stevedore regiments that awing their pick and shovels all day long to the time of the awe-inspiring songs of the far South, what of them? They were praying. At Verdon and on the Marne, when Negro troops were sometimes living breast works for the white soldiers, though shot and shell slew around them their casualty lists were very low.

Upon her last visit to the coast Mrs. Martin was accompanied by her late husband, a quiet, unassuming, retiring man, and yet one of the most successful business men; one of the best known and loved men in our entire race. His passing a few months ago brought a shock of grief and sorrow which was felt from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast in every center of our people, and left an aching void which is now being so admirably filled by his widow who was his partner and co-worker in life and the joint constructor of his great fortune.

The Martin's built their fortune slowly by keen business judgment, integrity and thrift. As a result, when his estate was finally passed to his wife, Mr. Martin was a stockholder in two of the largest banks of St. Augustine, the owner of $50,000.00 worth of Liberty Bonds, and one of the largest holders of real estate in that section of the country, and left an estate against which there was not a dollar of liabilities. To Mrs. Martin falls the task of carrying on with the work so well begun, and in the short short time of her control, she has capably filled the place the death of her husband left vacant. Although our visitors assure us they have come to California only for rest and relaxation, we are glad to report the keen interest they show in the business development of our community. Mrs. Martin is enthusiastic in her praise of California sunshine and beauty and the wide opportunities presented here as well as the great hearted friendliness of the people of our city. Mrs. Alice Collie Henderson of West Palm Beach, Florida, is the daughter of one of the leading families of West Palm Beach.

According to T. Arnold Hill Director of the League's Department of Industrial Relations who has just returned from organizing the branch, there are between ten and fifteen thousand Negroes in Omaha. They work in the packing houses, in the street paving gangs for the city, in the shops, on the trains and around the stations of the railroads, in the clubs and hotels as waiters one month after they unskilled occupations. Two chemists are employed—one by the Union Pacific Railroad and another by the American Smelting and Refining Company. They are regarded as especially well prepared for their tasks. The Badger Body Company employs a colored superintendent and several young women have more than ordinary jobs. But exceptions of this kind are rare. There is very little diversification and one of the main features of the League will be to acquaint employers with the varied performances of Negroes in other cities with the hope of getting them generally employed throughout Omaha.

The buyer knows that a local advertiser is ready to stand behind his product because his advertising is proof of his confidence.

Why not do as well by the town as it does by you? No citizen is so powerful, none so humble, but what the town is an aid to him in some way or other. The food that he eats, the clothes he wears, the recreation and amusement that he enjoys, all originate in the town, because the money with which they are procured is made there. When a fellow boosts his own town he does not stop there. He is performing an act that improves his own condition, for every good word and every good deed has its elevating influence. A few people are always home town boosters. They accomplish much in the way of community betterment, and this improves the condition of not only themselves, but also of those who do no boosting at all.

CHRISTMAS CARDS Christmas greetings are reach being opened and read. The answer is the answer to the post office depa up" the Christmas mail, post early avoid coagulation of the postal serv It is not difficult to find persons ing or at least early reception of me mas Day or its twilight zone. To su ness seems premature and mechanica ance of the holidays has unfortunate But both a practical and sentin Christmas greetings are reaching their destination, are being opened and read. The answer to all this, or rather, this is the answer to the post office department's appeal to "speed up" the Christmas mail, post early and similar exhortation to avoid coagulation of the postal service. It is not difficult to find persons who dislike this early mailing or at least early reception of messages intended for Christmas Day or its twilight zone. To such persons the whole business seems premature and mechanical as so much of the observance of the holidays has unfortunately become. But both a practical and sentimental reason stand on the other side of the issue. If everybody waited until the last day or two preceding Christmas to mail their cards, it would be Washington's birthday before the last mail would be delivered. The American people have gone into the exchange of Christmas cards so extensively that even under present conditions the postal service is about swamped. And there is this additional comfort for persons who prefer to receive their greetings nearer the holiday that if the Christmas spirit is the delightful thing most persons admit it is then spreading it over as much of the calendar as possible ought to be all the more delightful. If the early mailing of cards of greeting tap the reservoir of good will sooner than formerly, then the world is better for it. An entire year of the ebullitions of the Christmas spirit might pall after the first month or two, but it is vigorous enough to endure a fortnight and if within that period, the world is a bit merrier, generous and considerate by the early mailing of Christmas cards there really cannot be much complaint against the practice.

Strenuous efforts were made to connect Negroes with the crime, but in spite of fake arrests and false confessions the crime was rightly placed and the conspiracy fell flat. It is well that the crime was not committed south of the line or some poor Negro would have been the victim of a lynching party. One thing, the most notable, is that the public is not so ready to swallow the "Negro did it" bait. Political events have held the spotlight during the week past. The firm declaration of President Coolidge not to be a candidate for re-election; the selection of Kansas City, Mo., as the city for the Republican National Convention; refusal of the Senate to give the oath to Senators Vare, Smith, Penn, Ill., were the high lights during the first days of Congress. President Coolidge has made a good national executive. He can retire with honor. No telling what the next four years will bring. Possibly an entire change in party personnel. The message to Congress was true to Coolidge form. Pithy in its treatment of essentials; tense and pointed. The Boulder Canyon dam, sponsored by Senator Hiram Johnson and Representative Swing will have the full support of the administration. San Francisco made a gallant fight for the Convention of the Republican Party. Had it not been for the pressure brought to bear on a certain class of Committeemen by Chairman Butler, she would have won out. There is a prediction that the seeds of dissension sown bodes no good to the party. It will take an extraordinary strong standard bearer to stave off defeat. It will possibly mean the elimination of all the names now so prominently in the spotlight, and the falling back on a "Dark Horse," like Gen.J. J. Fleshing. in spite of all that can or may be said, Gov. Al Smith, New York, looms as the most potential aspirant for the Democratic honor. The South is threatening revolt, but all of that can be taken with the proverbial grain of salt. Should Al Smith receive the nomination, religious affiliation, inclination to wettness, all these will be forgot, if nor forgiven, and Mr. Southerner will vote as usual—Democrats But how about the seed or dissension scown in Republican ranks? How about a pivotal State like Illinois? California voters have a way of doing to suit themselves. The State banks on the intelligence of its electorate. Hiram Johnson can come through with a big majority and, yet, other things can happen. We do not know the idea that con- nected the convicts Hart, Martin and Walace with the Folsom prison outbreak. The arrest and conviction of those men ought to be of sufficient glory to their capturers. Surely it was given sufficient publicity at the time. The leaders who conspired, and who are being held for the murder of the guard, Singleton, were all of a different race. Several years ago a man, Edwin E. Grant by name, was a State Senator, California. He attracted to himself considerable notoriety by the authorship of a bill known as the "Red Light Abatement Act." Although he was defeated for re-election, he continued to pose as a champion reformer and made chief of the State Law Enforcement League. Mr. Grant is obsessed with the complex of Nordic Superiority, especially in its morals. So he claims that 80 per cent of the portations for vice were allens, Southern and Eastern Europe; 20 per cent were Orientals. No Nordics or Northern Europeans. Now, as a fact, the ratio of children born of unwedded parentage in Scandanavia and in Germany is from three to four times as great as that among the peoples bordered by the Mediterranean. But then we doubt whether the claim of Mr. Grant should be seriously considered, though he does embellish the Nordic with 100 per cent morality, we believe that several years ago a Jurist of the United States District Court said in substance, "that no jury of sane men would give credence to his evidence." Overheard some young people talking. They had been to a church service. One of the group remarked on the sameness of the sermons preached by the Bishops of a certain denomination. Said one of the group, "I wonder if some of the Arab Prelates of the Race imagine that a Bishop's title releases them from study." Another as if answering the question, said, "It make no difference, the text, the sermon is practically the same. Give the people food for thought. Live right, death will take care of itself. It is hard for a youngster, or for that matter mature man or woman to be made to feel that unless he paves the heavily road with dollars he cannot walk thereon. We have noticed that in most instances the ability to raise finance for the salary of the Conference Officers, or to build a church receives a greater recognition than intellectual qualification. To retain the allegiance for the Church of our young people, our Churchmen, principally those who stand high in church authority, must get in touch with current life. Give them something to think over. Something to remember beyond the church door. We believe that Eleanor Glyn put "it" in the vocabulary of American slang. Some way it seems to me, some of us really believe we are "it". Incredlous as it may seem that veritable ego, "it" is so prevalent that we fail to notice the proximity. The "its" are not confined to any one ctr. Toyland Store Open until 6 p. m. Now! SANTA SEE SANTA CLAUS AT WALKER'S Yes, Dear Old Santa Claus is Here Again-and He's as Jolly as Ever!

How often do you see the Christian lady just thrush from giving her testimonial or religious obligations turn the block for fear that she might be seen passing the time of the day with the Mrs. who has a "Past." Then the "It" who has a past scores the one whose past has been made public. "Big fleas; little fleas; smaller fleas to bite em.—Little fleas; still smaller fleas; and so on infinitum." Just so, the "its" run round in circles. When the poet David sang, "if I take the wings of the morning," he may have had a vision of the great man driven birds that cleave the skies and wing their way to the utmost parts of the earth. Out on the aviation field we saw a huge winged man driven bird come out from the clouds; tilt its wings, and with a droning song circle slowly and come to earth. And then a compartment in the body opened and the man bird disgorged its load of six full grown human passengers. Those birds have blazed the trails of air. They have gone to the Pole or the frozen North; topped the peaks of the Andes; crossed the arid desert and turbulent sea. They have brought together the nations of the earth. Through their mission misunderstandings between peoples will be averted. They will become harbringers of "Good Will." Their use in the realms of Commerce is in its infancy. Don't let the youth of the Race be unprepared. Learn to fly. A few days past our attention was called to an article headed, "Judge Hueston Explains." We were at a loss what his Honor had to "explain." Walker's BROADWAY AT 5th ST. But on reading down we came to the conclusion that "His Honor" had something to "explain" because of his stand in the Gary School controversy. If that was what his honor was driving at the "Educational Commissioner" had better start over. The only explanation we received from the "explanation" was that "as an officer sworn to uphold the law, that he was going to see that the law was enforced," or words to that effect. What was hoped for was that the Gary affair would be made the entering wedge to erase the law of segregated schools from the Indiana Statutes. Even the partial settlement by the efforts of the I. B.

Jackson, Miss., Dec. 10.—Cheering words of cordial good feeling for the citizenry of Jackson closed the ninth session of the annual conference of the East Mississippi district at the Pearl Street A. M. E. Church, Rev. J. R. Poe, D. D., pastor. Bishop A. J. Carey, who presided over the conference in introducing Bishop W. H. Heard of Philadelphia, said, "I think we should publish to the world the fine Christian spirit of the white citizens in Eastern Mississippi generally and of Jackson, Mississippi, in particular in the fine charity which they have shone to their less fortunate colored people. Word comes to this conference from all of the preachers of this discourse telling me that the white people have dealt kindly and nobly by the colored people in all their various charges. I thank God for this fine Christian spirit on the part of our white people, and I pray God's continued blessings upon our white friends in the grand old state of Mississippi. Bishop Heard, I desire that you tell your friends and people when you go back to Pennsylvania, that God, our white friends and the decent, right living colored people down here are all pulling together for the uplift of the poor and the weak ones amongst us and that we are getting along fine in spite of the awful disaster which we so recently suffered." There were two elders ordained and five hundred dollars raised for the educational work of the conference, and this in spite of the fact that there was less conference monies raised this year than usual. J. M. Sample, secretary of the conference, reported fifteen hundred dollars worth of pledges which are promised payment in the next six months and to be added to the educational fund. Dr. Frederick D. J. Dordan, secretary to the presiding bishop, read an invitation from the people of Meridian asking that the annual conference meet in that city in 1928. Appointments will be read out at the morning servic today at Pearl Street, A. M. E. Church, by the visiting bishop, Right Reverand Dr. W. H. Howard. Don't forget Pre Holiday Festival, 2609 So.

D. Evans, well-known Waco lawyer, is state chairman, and C. F. Richardson, editor of the Houston Informer, is secretary-treasurer. The meeting, which was largely attended by a group of representatieve and determined Negro leaders of the Lone Star State, has issued an appeal to the Negro citizenry of Texas, urging them to pay the poll tax or secure an exemption certificate by January 31, 1928. No person can vote in Texas elections who does not pay the poll tax secure exemption certificate between October 1 and January 31. With $1.00 of every poll tax going into the fund for the public schools of the state, and since Texas is doing more for Negro education than any state in the "far South," the cones have drafted an appeal showing that the race has absolutely nothing to lose, but everything to gain, by paying the poll tax 200,000, strong. Efforts will be made to perfect county organizations in all counties possessing large Negro populations, with county chairman, secretary and executive committee, latter composed of chairman from every voting precinct. The conference adopted the following slogan: "Pay your poll tax now and enlarge the public educational fund of Texas!" ```markdown ``` SPRINT PAGE CALIFORNIA EAGLE EDITED BY HARRY LEVETTE VOLUME 41 LOS ANGELES, CALIF.

He said that offices are generally overheated, temperature being around 80 degrees; are badly lighted and ventilated and have improperly constructed chairs. "About 3,700,000 persons engaged in clerical work in the United tates" Dr. Wade said. "The chief causes of death among male clerks are tuberculosis, heart disease, influenza and Bright's disease, with a higher mortality among women.

He is now one of the leading white sports writers of the country. Attracted by the splendid record and unusual personality of a young man, who, through honest, conscientious effort and clean living had gained national recognition in his chosen field, the writer feels wholly justified in digressing from his regular channel of Manager of boxers, to record the story of this man's life and accomplishments. BUDDY IS TUST BACK FROM AUSTRALIA WHERE HE WHIPPED EVERY WELTER WHO WOULD FIGHT HIRE AND BE MAKING FIDDLEWEIGHTS. BUDDY SAUL ZimRugby For many years pugilism has been looked upon with disfavor because of its attendant derogatory influences, but since Tiger Flowers enter the boxing game that feeling has been considerably reduced through the clean efforts of Flower's and other boxers of his caliber, but Flower's alone was the best example. A typical example of what one man has done, by his exemplary mode of living was the reward Tiger Flowers received was when the Good Lord when in need of a leader call to heaven Theodore Tiger Flowers. The writer knew Tiger Flowers as well as any other man except his broken hearted Manager Walk Miller, and this is the only way I could ever explain the nature of the former World's Middleweight Champion. "Mix equal parts of Courage and skill—then add a large portion of clean living and good. Citizenship—and you'll have a successful man regardless of color, creed or nationality." And that man was Tiger Flowers and May God have mercy on his soul."

I asked Mr. Pullen, who is field manager for the Cleveland Stars if he had given out any such information, and he assured me that he had not.

Felix Ramos defeated Courtney Rees in the curtain-raiser. Wash and Polish Car In Rainy Weather Just because the charcaces are that the car will get dirty much quicker at this season than any other is no reason for failing to give it a periodic wash and polish. Deposts of dirt and mud that are allowed to remain on the finish for any length of time will be converted into a film that cannot be removed except by a process known as renovation, which costs considerably more. A. B. Upper Cuts & Blocks 0-0-0-0-0 ---By--- HARRY LEVETTE "THE LAEORER IS WORTHY OF HIS HIKE" SO SAYS THE BIBLE. Somewhere although I am pretty rusty along that line, but the meaning of it is fresher with me now than when first reading it as a kid. That statement applies to all life, especially to Sports. It takes, a mighty enthusiastic bird with a flock of Optimism to be willing to spend his priceless gift of energy, and health in diving ditches, painting masterpieces swimming channels, playing baseball or battling in the ring for a knockout, without receiving any of the coin that it takes to flag down the grocery wagon and keep soul and body together. Cheap labor will perform cheap labor, cheap participants in games of sport will put up cheap contests. Or even if the same work is given as a paid worker would give it can only be depended on as long as enthusiasm, hopes, and possibility of final appreciation lasts. Money invested in good craftsmen is a good investment, and brings returns in large percentage whereas "getting by" with cheap or gratis labor will be only a succession of chance, an air constant change of personell. Jack Dempsey, earned his money. Red Grange earned his it was worth $25,000 for George Young to swim the channel and even Wrigley would not have respected him if he had been willing to swim it for nothing. Suzanne Lenglen wants to return to amateur ranks now but she made her pile first as professional. President Louise looks for his pay check regardless of his honors, Barney Oldfield, Billy Sunday, on down the line gave value to the public for value received. Doctor: "But Madam, I can't cure your husband of talking in his sleep!" Madam: "Well, can't you give him something to make him speak more distinctly?" than the ordinary wash and polish. It is harder to keep a car clean in the fall, but the additional time and effort is well spent a return match Baby Joe disposed of O'Brien in a round. HAD LONG LAY OFF After several months of resting Gans came back to the squared circle and had several warm-up bouts. His last two big starts have ended in the most undesirable way possible. OVER CAUTIOUS It seems that Joe's trouble is a lack of self confidence and a practice of being over cautious. "Come out of it, Gans!" CLISBY WINS IN EAST Niel Clisby and Jake Killrain, coast heavyweights clashed in a battle in Kansas last week, with Clisby victorious. The same two gladiators were thrown from the ring at Pasadena several months ago for stalling, drawing down a six months' layoff from the Boxing Commission. The writer questioned Clisby after that fight in Pasadena, "how come?" and the big boy said he had broken his right arm early in the fight. Clisby claimed that he was Killgrain's master and proved it last week when he beat Killrain in the East. FOLLOW UP ON FLOWERS The writer overheard two white men talking the other day and their conversation made me wonder and wonder plenty over Tiger Flowers' death. Here is the gist of the talk between the two men: Number One: "The next one they ought to get rid of is George Godfrey." Number One: "the next Godfrey ought to get rid of is George Godfrey." Number two: "Yes, Godfrey is the leading contender in the heavyweight class, and it wouldn't do for him to get a chance at the title." The main and important part of this conversation is where Number One says: "The next one to get rid of is Godfrey." Many people think that Flowers was given too much ether in that operation that took his life. Young Sam Langford proved conclusively to Billy Red Atkeson and San Bernardino fight fans that he was Atkeson's master by giving the sorrel top the worst beating he ever had last Thursday night.

BANKS 1136 E. 12TH STREET --- THE BLACK SPORT WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF ART HAMILTON What's the matter with "Baby Joe Gans?" is the question on every colored fight fan's lips. Baby Joe has always been a favorite with the fight fans, but if he keeps up his present rate of fighting he will lose all his backing. Gans was the choice to take Vince Dundee last Tuesday night but this "Young Master" put up one of those awful fights that seem to crop out of system on irregular intervals like a crop of boils. HARD TO, UNDERSTAND Gangs is hard to understand—for about 2 months he will go like a house a fire at the smaller clubs and then when set for a top spot the big clubs he fizzles. 8 STRAIGHT K. O'S He had something like 8 straight knockouts to his credit and was due to take Dundee with ease, but instead of fighting he made a wrestling match out of it. Dundee out-classed him throughout the fight. BABY JOE'S RECORD Let's review Gan's record from his rise to fame after his victory over Mushy Callahan, up to the present time. His win over Callahan brought him from small time stuff to the big money. He then made a trip up the coast, running a long string of K. O's. He got a bid to go East and accepted. He won from Jimmy Goodrich in his only battle in that section of the country, returned to the coast because of sickness in the family. He then had several main events at the Olympic, the most notable ones were his battles with Tommy O'Brien. He lost the first one after putting up a fight similar to last Tuesday's, but in HOW COME?

"Now I'll Tell One" Says Jerry McCarthy [Editor's Note]: Jerry McCarthy, a famous old-time fighter who fought in the days of Dixon, Gans, Dempsey, the Nonperil and others is as full of humorous tales of the old days as Kansas is of Blue Laws. Here are a couple of his latest! "Young Griffo who just passed the other day was in the height of his career, a much talked of and very likeable fellow, but withal he managed to be always in the need of money. One day in Milwaukee at a club a man named Griffith who was rather fond of notoriety was in a game with several other men when Griffo strolled in. Someone mistaking the name asked Griffith, 'Is that famous fighter a relative of yours?' "Quick to see the opportunity, Griffith answered, 'Yes, he's my brother, and suiting the action to the word he exoused himself from the bunch and going to Griffo whispered, 'Pretend you're my brother and I'll treat,' "He had not ben long returned to the game until Griffo rushed up to him and said, 'Say brother, let me have a true Coolidge vernacular. fished out a 'fine' and gave him; soon he came back for another and later for still another. When Griffith demurred. Griffo who had been whispering said a little louder. 'Why, you're not going to refuse your little brother a little five are you?' He got that too but later when he came back for more, Griffith, now thorough chagrined asked, 'Why, what on earth did you do with that other $15 I gave you?' "'Why, answered Griffo quickly, I sent all that to our dear mother." No long ago a fighter, was being socked on the chin with right hands one after another losing the battle by a wide margin. Why do you take all that punishment he was asked later, "I do not choose to run" he answered in true Colidge vernacular. Hi-Y Loses 21-19 Game To Y. M. D. By: HORACE HAMPTON Lady Luck proved unkind to the Hi-Y. Varsity, who lost, a closely contested game with the Y. M. D. quintet 21-19. Playing with a badly crippled team, the Hi-Y fought as only the Hi-Y can; against their most noted rivals. In the preliminary, the Outlaws ran away with the Eagles 47-19. The perfect shots of Salisbury and Hill were the features of the game. Capt. Johnson of the Eagles played a good game supported by a discouraged team. This Saturday the High school lads will take on the learned college tramps. Clyde Colvin Fights Luis Alzarado At San Diego Joe Anderson Beat Maxie Rosenbloom Arrives Here In Jan. Jimmy Moore Wants "Tiger's" Place In Sun (By: A. N. P.) New York, Dec. 10.—Jimmy Moore, popular middleweight fighter, who scored a decisive victory over Lew Williams in Newark, Tuesday, is after the scals of others in his class. Moore, formerly under the management of Walk Miller, mentor of the late "Tiger" Flowers, is now fighting under Harry Alberts and is going great guns for his new manager. Moore and Miller had an argument over fights, purses, and general conditions, and as the boy from the Coast is entirely too clever to be kept down, he sought his release through the boxing Commission. Moore says he wants to fill the place vacated by "Tiger" Flowers, and with his new manager, he stands a good chance to run up a string of battles leading him to the throne. His victims include Allentown Joe Gans, Leo Lumski and other lesser lights in that class. Toronto Football Crazy Toronto, Canada, Dec. 10. Frank Shanks, the little brown Bloor High School Football star, has accomplished the seeming impossible; he kicked and ran his team from the bottom, steam-rolled North Toronto High, last year's champions, and today in the last five minutes of play with his team hopelessly in the rear and Homberside High practically, champions tore down the field for 35 yards, planted the ball behind the goal posts, then kicked his team to victory by a score of 10 to 8. For this, even the opposition cheered him, and the members of his race hastily organized a committee and will tender him a reception in the First Baptist Church. The entire Bloor High Football team will attend the reception. Shanks is the only Golored member of the team. Among Our Boy Scouts William Tomkins, who spent his youth among the Indians and has for thirty years been a student of "sight talk," has been a visitor to many troops of L. A. Boy Scouts, thrilling them with his tales and demonstrations of means of Indian communication. In the twelve years of boyhood spent with the Sloux and other tribes Mr. Tomkins learned 761 signs in what was a universal American language, many of these signs representing complete sentences. Since then he has added to his vocabulary until without words, he can carry on a full conversation with any tribe of Indians. He is the author of "Universal Indian Sign Language," officially endorsed by National Headquarters of the Boy Scouts. Many Boy Scouts of Hollywood district were awarded merit badges and received grade promotions at a formal Court of Honor held Friday night at Virgil Junior High School. Scouts seeking advancement in the organization periodically appear before such Courts of Honor for examination and recognition. On the same night South District Court of Honor was held at John Adams Junior High School, together with a meeting of the district Board of Review to check records of the troops of that part of the city. Preparations are being completed at Boy Scout Headquarters for the mid-winter course for the training of new Scoutmasters and adult leaders. The training school will meet evenings in Patriotic Hall, beginning early in January. These regular training courses are given under direction of the department of education of Boy Scout Headquarters and there is no charge. Any man of moral character and inclined to companionship with boys is eligible. Registrations may be made at any time. Los Angeles now has approximately 6,000 Scouts and this number could quickly be doubled if sufficient adult leaders were available. Many hundreds of boys are constantly on the waiting list for enrollment but have to be turned away because of the shortage in Scoutmasters. All Boy Scout troops in the vicinity of University Branch Public Library have been invited by Mrs. Eklott, librarian, to appoint a librarian to meet with her once a month to consider books worth reading from a boy's point of view. Following these monthly meetings, the librarians will make a complete report back to their various troops. The first meeting will be held this week. Hollenbeck district troops held a rally, at invitation of Troops 51, Fri. day night, not only for the purposes of entertainment but to discuss Scouting affairs in that section of the city. District Commissioner B. C. Broyles was in charge. On the following night Troop 32 was host to Scout parents of the district at a banquet. Assistant Scout Executive E. A. Davey was one of the principal speakers. ASSOCIATED LOAN COMPANY T. ASSOCIATED LO 3718 Central Avenue REMOVAL NO. THE GOLDEN WED Announces its removal from 3 Upstairs.

Mrs. Jack Cleighborn (Cynthia Hill) and husband had as their auto guests last Sunday Miss Virginia Stephens and Mr. and Mrs. E. L Dorsey. The objective was San Diego and vicinity. All report a splendid time. The traffic officer approached a certain young man whose wife is seriously ill, for parking his car headed in the wrong direction. After explaining why he did so because in a hurry to get medical aid for his wife the officer turned good samaritan and recommended his family doctor as one who could help his wife to recover. The recommendation was accepted with results. The colored man walked into the barber shop and asked for a nickel's worth of hair tonic. "What do you want with five cents' worth of hair tonic?" "I want to fix my watch. Dey's dandruff in de hair spring." Driving with, one hand gets some men in jail—others to the altar. "You can't park there, lady." "Why not?" asked the fair damsel. "I'll only be parked long enough to make a purchase. "What are you going to buy?" "Oh. I've been reading so much about this Traffic Jam, I thought I would try some of it." Call the ambulance. We do not know whether it is so or not but we hear Mr. Ed. Pearl has a Packard parked in his stable these days. Mr. Myron Slaughter recently acquired a neat looking coupe. Traffic Officer Hendricks returning from the fight the other night declared he was off of 'em for life. We don't zactly understand. W If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Auto-Electrical Tips For Car Owners By: ERNEST STIUES National Instructor While every effort has been made by manufacturers of electric starting and lighting systems to insure their various units functioning properly and as nearly automatically as possible, it is evident that some attention from the car owner is necessary. The generator must be examined ever so often, and should any carbon dust be worn from the brushes by the commutator and deposited in the lower part of the casing, it should be blown out with the tire pump. An accumulation of this dust may result in a short circuit between the brush carrier and the generator case. The brushes are a part of the generator which demands care and, usually, when trouble develops it starts with them. They should be examined often to see that they are in perfect contact with the commutator, and that they do not stick in the brush holders. One of the most usual causes of imperfect contact between the brush and the commutator is insufficient spring tension. If the wires are removed from the generator for any reason, care must be taken that they are put back on the same terminals as originally. In fact, whenever any wires are disconnected from any unit the terminals and wires should be marked so that they can be correctly replaced. If the wires are reversed the ammeter will indicate a dead short circuit by swinging to extreme on the discharge side of the scale when the engine is started, and if this defective condition is not corrected the battery will soon be discharged. LIFE OF MOTOR NOW 13 YEARS Lubrication is playing an increasingly important part in the life of the motor vehicle, according to the Automobile Chamber of Commerce, which has recently finished an exhaustive survey covering a period of thirteen years. The grade of oil used and the frequency of lubrication determine whether the car will be a five-year comfort or a five-month cripple, it is said: "This is further pointed out," says the Tide Water Oil Sales Company of California, "in the fact that money spent for replacement and supplies per individual motor vehicle has decreased sharply during recent years." This company manufactures Veedol, which has a nationwide distribution. In the period from 1921 to 1924 the average life of a motor vehicle was increased from 5 to 8 years and in 1927 the average life has become 13 years. The Banks brothers left last Monday in their Autos accompanied by their families for their home in Texas to spend the holidays. They are equipped with a Packard and Auburn respectfully. H:nel—"It took Jack twenty-five lessons to teach me to swim." The Ideal Motor Car It goes without saying that the ideal automobile should be noiseless, free from vibration, powerful of ample, sturdy construction, with few moving parts to get out of order and require attention, and with friction reduced to a minimum. It should be easily operated, flexible, capable of rapid acceleration, quick stopping, ready at a moment's notice, free from mechanical and other complications, theft-proof, clean, roomy, and comfortable. Most important or all, it must be practical, reliable, serviceable and economical. In appearance it should be an distinctive and attractive as to cause that just prides that comes with ownership of a really fine car. The body work should be typical of the best traditions of the coach-builder's art. In brief, it should be right in every detail. To eliminate noise and vibration has been the constant aim of engineers since the advent of the first automobile. You possibly remember the one-cylinder gasoline car. It was noisy and jerky. Working on the principle that explosions of less violence and greater frequency result in a smoother running, more powerful motor, engineers soon developed the two-cylinder car. Then came the four-cylinder car, in each of which the cylinder car, in eac hof which the principle was carried one step further. The development of the eight and twelve-cylinder motors and of the sixteen-valve motors are too well known to need recounting here. While leading engineers disagree as to the best number of cylinders, they are all striving for the same ideal—uniform torque, less motor noises, less vibration, and this has nearly been obtained. The reason for the high favor with which the closed type of automobile is regarded seems obvious. The well-built closed car affords, in summer and winter, a greater measure of comfort than is possible in the open type of vehicle. With windows lowered, the touring sedan or coupe becomes an open car, providing protection from dust, rain storms and other summer disturbances. In the winter months, with windows closed and with the heater, the sedan or coupe is always. And comfort, after all, is the factor that most appeals to the present day motor car owner. What will the final equipment of automobiles be? This is the question that is brought up almost every time several motor car owners get together for a few minutes' chat on what their cars can do. L. A. Playground and Recreation Dept. Forty-five Yule dramas given at twenty-four municipal playgrounds, carol-singing in parks, public places and on the streets. Christmas trees in Westlake Park, Pershing Square and at the Plaza, ten living Christmas trees on playgrounds, handcraft gifts to orphanages, and dramatic offerings to hospital "shut-ins" are features of the great Christmas program prepared by the Los Angeles Playground and Recreation Department. In keeping with the spirit of the season the Department also urges that every home that will have a Christmas tree shall place the tree near a window and keep the curtains raised that passersby may receive an impression of the scene. At the same time it is warned that candles should not be used to illuminate these trees because of the fire hazard. Christmas dramatic productions at the city playground begin this week and continue until December 28. To all events sponsored by the Recreation Department the public is invited and there is no charge. For this week the plays presented will be: December 15 (Thursday) "The Little Match Girls," at Yosemite Playground, 3:30 p. m.; December 17 (Saturday) "A Doll for Sue" and "A Touch of Christmas Makes the Whole World Kin," at Central Playground, 3 p. m.; "On Christmas Eve," Barnsdall Playground, 8 p. m. Plans for a junior airport where boys may fly miniature aircraft and have available a work shop for repairing their planes have been completed by the Los Angeles Playground and Recreation Department. Hawley JM sonoq play quasad anp pue axs athletic field has been selected for the enlargeed to provide the necessary work space. The equipment will include wind direction instruments and aenometer for determining wind velocity, an inclined platform on rollers and a catapult for launching ships. In making the plans the municipal department has had the close co-operation of Dr. A. A. Merrill, head of the Daniel Guggenheim Foundation school for aeronautics at California Institute of Technology. Plans to make the public beaches at Venice, Santa Monica Canyon, Playa del Rey and Cabrillo "the safest in the country" have been adopted by the Los Angeles Playground and Recreation Department. New equipment will include twenty-five brass bells on the beach between Ocean Park pier and Hyperlon Avenue and these later to be augmented by seventeen pull box alarms; three brass bells at Cabrillo and two at Santa Monica Canyon; an ambulance with stren, inhalator, stretcherers and blankets; stren for the Brooks Avenue, Venice, life guard station; inhalator, stretcherers, ccts and other equipment at Cabrillo; and additional dories. Immediate alarms cannot only be given to summons a local guard but an entire crew can be quickly brought to the scene of a water accident or case of distress. The next of the series of hikes, conducted by the Los Angeles Playground and Recreation Department for employed men and women, will be to San Dimas lookout, a tramp of 14 miles to a ridge overlooking many splendid canyons. Those wishing to go will meet in the Pacific Electric depot at 7:30 a.m., Sunday, December 18, bringing their canteens and lunches.

CAR ON LEFT MUST YIELD The Automobile Club of Southern California has just been notified by Frank G. Snook, chief of the Division of Motor Vehicles, to warn its members to carefully observe the right of way rule, as a campaign of education and enforcement of this rule will be pushed this month. The California Public Safety Conference points out that the violation of this rule is the cause of a large proportion of the collisions which occur at street intersections. Ivan Kelso, general counsel of the Auto Club, says: "The object of the right of way rule is to avoid collisions at street intersections. This object can be attained if one driver will yield to the other whenever there is danger of a collision. There should be no splitting of hairs with this rule, as a slight uncertainty may result disastrously. It is the duty of the operator on the left to yield to the operator on the right, when the two are approaching the intersection at about the same time. This means at such time that if both proceed a collision will occur. "Many drivers think they have the right of way because they get into a street intersection a little ahead of a vehicle on the right. This is a miss."

N. P.) New York, N. Y., Dec. 7—Joseph Giannetti, 14-year-old Italian boy of Montclair, N. J., is being held here for murder following the stabbing of Thomas Johnson, fourteen-year-old colored boy of this city. Giannetti is alleged to have killed the colored lad with a Boy Scout knife following a sound thrashing administered by the colored youth. The two, who attended the same school, became involved in an altercation which led to the first fight a week ago. Johnson was the winner. The Italian lad vowed vengeance on Johnsco and provoked another fight which proved fatal to Johnson. After the colored boy had gotten the best of Giannetti, the latter whipped out a knife and stabbed Johnson, fleeing immediately afterward. Mrs. Johnson has sustained three tragedies in her family in the past six weeks. One of her sons was killed by an automobile last week and an infant died the week previous from infantile paralysis. Mrs. Johnson is a widow and was dependent upon Thomas' earnings as a caddy and newsboy to help support her family. Girl Makes Serious Charges Against Millionaire's Son (By: A. N. P.) New York, N.
