Abner of Denver, Colorado, Supreme Commander of the American Woodmen, generally referred to as "the Giant of Negro Fraternals", will arrive in the State of California "the Giant of Abner's First Visit to the Western Jurisdiction since the Order Negro operating in this State more often than ever. Fr. Chifley does not come to Los Angeles stranger, for several years prior for his selection of Chifley of the American Woodman, he was a noted physician in the City of Austin, Texas, and for more than twelve years served on Supreme Physician. He was one of the original charter members of the late Supreme Commander, C. M. White in 1928, was elected by the Supreme Executive Council to fill the unexpired term. At the meeting of the Fifth Quadrennial Convention of the Supreme Camp in 1925, he was unanimously elected to lead the organization. Under his able leadership the Order has made rapid strides. The membership has increased to more than seventy-five thousand members in twenty-seven states and the assets are approaching the two million dollar mark. The Supreme Commander will be in the city only a few days, a part of which will be spent in a survey of other Camps in Southern California before leaving for Oakland, the head of the local officials of the Order, headed by State Supervisor, Ben H. Graham, arranging for a public meeting and reception in order that the seventeen hundred members in Los Angeles, and the public generally may have a chance to meet and hear the noted Chifley of Woodcraft.

Telephone Westmore 2479. Hold Funeral Services For Old Settler Funeral services for the late James Jackson were held Tuesday morning, at 11 o'clock from the parlor of Conner & Johnson, Undertakers. Mr. Jackson who was a native of Canada for twenty-seven years and in the employ of the Owl Drug Co. for twenty years. Mr. Jackson is survived by his wife, Mrs. Sarah B. Jackson. Much sadness has come in the family of Mrs. Jackson during the past three years. On May 2, 1925 her son, the late Le Roy D. Barnett passed out and on May 11, 1927, Mrs. Anna Johnson, mother of Mrs. Le Roy D. Barnett was laid away. And now, at the beginning of the year, Mr. Jackson is buried. Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Barnett have the sympathy of their many friends. The well known progressive and forward looking firm of Harvey Bros. rock, gravel and sand contractors, has just completed a ten-unit court at 1411 E. 53rd street. This court is an innovation and represents the very latest designs in modern architecture, thoroughly modern in every detail. In fact, the Harvey Brothers have brought the Hollywood super Courts and placed them right in the heart of the East Side. The building is of stucco and occupies a space or 135 by 50 feet. There are ten individual houses of three rooms each, each house independent in itself. They are furnished with every modern device which is required for good housekeeping. Well placed throughout the court are rare plants and shrubbery which indeed gives to the court a setting which is pleasing. This modern, high-class court building is but to be seen to be appreciated and of course it rents on sight. WILL CONTINUE ERECTION OF SIMILAR STUCCOS The three Harvey brothers consisting of Frank A. Harvey; Jesse E. Harvey and James E. Harvey are responsible for placing at the disposal of our people this class of rental property and are to be both complimented and constituted upon their keen insight to provide for our citizens the very best proposition that it is possible to secure. They further announce that this is but one or the many like structures which they propose to place at the disposal of the people on the Eastside. As we noted in the outset of this article we recognize the real progressive spirit and determination of the Harvey Brothers to do the things which mean progress and to provide living conditions second to none for the great Eastside of greater Los Angeles. They are truly playing well their part and the people are with them 100 per cent in their efforts to go forward; a practical demonstration of which is the ten-u-nit court at 1411 E. 53rd Street and which all people are united to visited and inspect. Urged Course of Study To Promote Leadership (By: A. N. P.) Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Jan. 11. A course in the technic of leadership was urged by Dr. C. C. Peters of the Pennsylvania State College in a series or lectures delivered here last week to the students and faculty of Tuskegee Institute. No school at this time offers just such a course, Dr Peters said, and it would be a worthwhile contribution for Tuskegee Institute to make to modern education to work out such a course. "Education in America is going through a period of reconstruction in which new values are being established. Formerly cultural education centered in leisure, but the cultural education of the future will be devoted to the enlargement of service. In this re-orientation of education, Tuskegee has been a pioneer. The new culture will center in work and will be valued according to the mastery of the materials and the skill with which it is done." Dr. Peters advocated the introduction of service courses in which the student will be trained completely along the lines for the job, so that he will not only be skilled in his work but will possess a knowledge of its history, background, purposes and allied skills. Teachers of Tuskegee Institute ought to contribute more often to educational journals so that others may know what is being done here. Dr. Peters said. LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1928 Notable Citizen Passes To Her Reward MRS. PATIENCE GILMORE FORMERLY OF LONE STAR STATE LAID TO REST On Tuesday, January 3rd, Mrs. Patience Gilmore passed away at the home of her granddaughter, Carol Johnson, 1438 E. 48th Pl., after a short illness. While Mrs. Gilmore's residence in this community had not been for a long period of time, those who met her and had the opportunity to know, discerned in her a woman of sterling character and worth. However there are legions of friends and acquaintances from her former home in Houston, Texas, who were intimately acquainted with the great and wonderful service which this great woman had rendered humanity, and MRS. PATIENCE GILMORE the outpouring of the people at the last rites over her remains at the great Angelas Funeral Home on last Monday bore mute evidence of the high esteem in which she was held. We have seldom witnessed a funeral so pregnant with sincere appreciation and convincing token of love for one who has labored to the fullness of their time and passed to a higher reward. Rev. A. P. Shaw, pastor of Wesley Chapel officiated at the funeral service, assisted by Rev. S. M. Beane and L. R. Andress, the latter was for many years closely identified with the deceased and gave a most vivid portrait of her high character and great service rendered. Dr. Shaw delivered a very appropriate culogy and Rev. S. M. Beane read the telegrams of condolence and remarks in keeping with the occasion. The caskets were decorated several numbers, while Mrs. Drucilla Bryant and Evelyn Warren refilled touching solos: Mrs. Senola Maxwell Reeves read the obituary, which was indeed a touching insight upon the life and character of the deceased. The floral offerings were profuse and furnished a beautiful setting for the massive casket with flowers banked all around. Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 10—An order disbarring John A. Hibler, a local lawyer, was issued by Judge Harris of the Third Division Circuit Court, for withholding $500 in settling with Curtiss Gordon and Elizabeth Avery Gordon, whom he represented in a real estate transaction. Mrs. Noah D. Thompson Dies In New York Jew, Catholic and Protestant Direct School of Religion Iowa City, Ia., Jan. 12—9 courses of study are offered, including study of Old Testament history, of the prophets, life and teaching of Jesus, Hebrew language, Christian ethics, comparative religion and the growth of Christian religion, in the School of Religion of the University of Iowa, recently started at this school term. A Jew, a Catholic, and a Protestant direct the school. With a line of absolute non-sectarianism drawn from its inception, the school's only object is to teach the common good of religion. The venture into new territory in religious instruction was undertaken with the cognance of the American Association of Religion in Strite Universities and Colleges, and was made possible by an initial gift of $25,000 from John D Rockefeller, Jr. Regular university credit is given toward a degree in the college of liberal arts of which the school of re The sad nows of the passing of Mrs. Eloise Bibb Thompson, wife of our former citizen, Noah D Thompson, who is now Business Manager of the "Opportunity" Magazine published in New York City, reached this city on last Monday morning in a telegram received by S. W. Thompson, a brother of Noah D. Thompson. It is said that Mrs. Thompson was forced to undergo a major operation for kidney trouble, rallied, from the same, but later suffered a relapse and passed away at their home. 211 W. New York, last Saturday evening. Mrs. Thompson was well and favouably known not only here where she resided for the last decade and more, but throughout the country. She was a writer of distinction and merit, and Lack of Bathing Facilities Prevent Negroes From Taking Course in Physical Education (By: A. N. P.) New York City, Jan. 10.—Because there is only one shower, bath available at Washington Square and bathing facilities were so limited at the New York University, it was no deemed advisable to permit Negro students at the University to take the course in physical education, according to Harold Q. Voorhis, assistant chancellor of the university, when confronted with charges that the institution was discriminating against Negro students. Four cases of Negro students being refused admission to the dormitories and one to the course in physical education were cited. In reply to the charges or dormitory discrimination, Mr. Voorhis declared: "New York University reserves the right to so such discrimination in the selection of students for admission to dormitories, classes or courses as seems advisable to promote the interests of the greatest number." New York, N. Y., Jan. 11. According to Munn & Company, two well-known Harlem Negroes have designed a new system for lifting or raising sunken submarines and applied for United States Patents. The System will bear the name "Harper and Lytle System" after the two inventors respectively, Solomon Harper, Government Certified Electrical Engineers, and George W. Lytle, a local real estate owner. The principal merit of the system is the use of inside conduit pipes securely fastened to the shell of the submarine from the inside and running semi-circularly around the cross section of the submarine thus enabling the lifting or the craft with cables through the pipes or conduits without the necessity of boring under as has been the case heretofore, and as with the S-4. It is estimated that a number of lifting cables can be pulled through in two hours and the lives of men in such cases saved. This is supplemented by a number of other devices. at one time, edited a section of the Los Angeles Daily Express. Several plays which received the unstated praise of the producers were the product of her genius as a writer. Also did she produce many scenarios which were eagerly sought for the film industry. She was public spirited in the largest debree, and contributed her part at all times for all forward movements for the race. In her passing the race has lost a staunch and able character who stood at all times for the highest ideals of citizenship. The body will be interred in New York. The Eagle joins with the bereaved husband, relatives and friends in condolence, in this sad hour of sorrow. Mr. Harper was in Washington last week and interviewed government officials with a view of submitting the plans in technical form to Congress and the Navy Department. Affidavits concerning the system were turned over to the Washington and New York offices of the New York World for future reference. Dixie Social Matron Files For Divorce Mrs. Mattie C. Little, formerly of Selma, Alabama, and during her residence there, a leader in civic and social circles of the famous little southern town, has filed suit for divorce against her husband, Samuel C. Little on the ground of desertion. About two years ago Mrs. Little made a visit to Southern California on a sight-seeking tour and was so impressed with the beauty and splendor of California's golden Southland that she decided to remain here and become a life-long resident or the Golden State, leaving her beautiful little city, the home of the famous Selma University, to be a memory only. She is represented in her divorce action by Attorney Curtis C. Taylor, 1400 Central avenue. Among the students who were refused admission to the dormitories were: Thomas W. Young, son of B. H. Young, editor of the Norfolk Journal and Guide; A. T. Spandling, of Durham, N. C. and the student who was refused admission to the course in physical education was Miss Reba McLain. BY: WINNIE WINTHROP (For The Associated Negro Press) The Old World is an extremely pleasant place in which the American colored tourist can spend his money but to change from tourist or traveller to become a settler and earn a livelihood is entirely another matter. Or say one is fascinated by a country and wishes to start one's own business. As for earning a living, unless one is a first-class musician or actor the chances for earning daily bread are extremely small. And only the first-class musicians and actors, let it be emphasized, keep comfortably successful. The second-rater, and there are dozens here, find the going rather "rough." Men who write to Europe from time to time concerning work, particularly with France their objective as laborers, mechanics, barbers, hotel workers, even "sports", and "bustlers" should by all means never leave the American shores without return tickets. There has been more than the pittable case of colored men and women who thought they could work in Europe only to be sadly disappointed. England has strict laws keeping outsiders from landing who are seeking work. They have their own unemployed to look after which run into many thousands including musicians and theatrical artists. To be sure, some of the foreign musicians and artists get in the Kingdom but it is through very special privilege not granted universally. France, too, has similar laws, but the French unemployment is not nearly as serious as their neighbors across the channel: consequently, the laws are not strictly enforced. The main trouble for one seeking work in France is the language drawback. The colored American coming to France with the idea of staying is rarely if ever equipped with the language. Of course, if funds are long enough the language can be studied; if, on the contrary, work must be had at once, the situation is anything but happy. The consul has neither money nor free tickets for stranded Americans, black or white. Germany., Spain, Italy, and the North Sea countries permit colored or white theatrical or cabaret professionals to enter under contracts varying from three to twelve months, each country collecting from four to ten per cent tax on all wages. And wages, let it be mentioned, can always equal American wages after taxes are deducted. Much depends upon the business ability of the one drawing up the contract. In France, WHITING displayed such extraordinary skill in this one matter of drawing up contracts that during all his stay in Europe his men were always connected with their salariaries. On the other hand poor contracts have been made by colored Americans who have been over here years before Sam Whitting and who should know the game. In the last six years men have been stranded in Brussels, Berlin, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Hague, Amsterdam, Riga and Budapest—the last two occurring recently. So much in regard to one looking for employment. Now for one going into business for one's self in the City of Paris take for example. Paris is with one or two exceptions good for any kind of business that goes well in Chicago or New York. Much, however, depends upon location. And there is one big difference between the American cities and Paris. That is, Paris is so crowded that one looking for a vacant shop to do business would look for it elsewhere. One has to buy the other fellow's business and lease then have both changed to suit one's special needs. After counting possible renovations or minor reconstruction of of the shop, $5,000 at least would start a small affair, say for instance one bought a millinery shop and had it changed to a steam New Orleans, La., Jan. 10.—Walter L. Cohen, controller of customs, may lose his post on the Louisiana Republican state central committee and see control of that body pass to a group of white "republicans." Legal action is said to be contemplated by Mr. Cohen's personal followers to overthrow a decision by Secretary of State James J. Bailey, which will eliminate Cohen as a political figure, through the operation of the Louisiana election law. It is said that mandamus proceedings will be instituted to obtain a change in the ruling laid down by the secretary of state, which was to the effect that no Republican primary may be held in parishes in which no regularly organized Republican committee has functioned since the last election. The decision directly affects some fifteen of the smaller parishes of the State and will eliminate candidates for election to the state central committee in all cases where there has been a protest. Unopposed candidates, however, may be certified to membership on the committee. While Orleans parish met the requirements for a Republican primary by having a regularly functioning Republican parish committee, the secretary of state ruled further that inwards where the Republican parish committee has certified no candidates for nomination to the state legislature, no primary may be held for election of the state central committeemen. This interpretation of the election law by the secretary of state will eliminate Mr. Cohen from state central committee membership because the vacancy created in his ward by the "no election" rule will be filled when the committee meets after January 17 for formal organization. Vacancies on the committee from "no election" or other causes are to be filled under the law by action of the committee, and a preliminary survey indicates that the elected members will support the white faction of the regular organization and vacancies in the committee will be filled by the selection of Republicans who are not supporters of Mr. Cohen. Emile Kuntz, national committee, in an interview, said, "We are not making a fight on anyone, but are only obeying the state election law." MR. REESE Du PREE PROVES PHENOM- INAL TENOR For the first time since his arrival in the city for the winter, a delighted audience applauding as it heard the voice of Mr. Reese DuPree in song. The occasion was the big reception given in his honor at Masonic Hall, Friday night last. Although not on the program, in response to the great ovarion given his arrival he sang a simple little seng of the South land and his pure baritone ranging from te high to the low measures proved true all the glowing reports of his singing that have appeared in the eastern dailies and weeklies. The retired capitalist song bird will appear in the near future. clothes press, $10,000 can buy a small Parisienne cafe, and $15,000 a small hotel, taking oil figures as approximations. At present there are only two restaurants, one fingerie shop, one shoeshine stand, and a tailor shop in Paris owned by American Negroes. These places are patronized chiefly by the finer class of rich Americans, who take regularly their European vacation. A club house, a cabaret, a dance hall, or a theatre owned entirely by an American Negro as yet have not been tried but doubtless would be successful. ```markdown ``` M. RAILROAD CLATTER By Joe Rakestraw MR. UPTON ON LEAVE OF ABSENCE M. Mr. Charles L. Upton, editor of the Railroad Clatter column which has been one of the feature columns of this paper, has taken an indefinite lay off from writing the same. Owing to other duties Mr. Upton asked us for the time being, to accept his resignation, and owing to the fact that he has served us and our readers so faithfully and well, our appreciation was so great that we could not do other than to grant him his request. We want to say that Mr. Upton kept his column up to the highest standard and it stood out at all times as indeed a worthy contribution which was especially attractive to the railroad men, and enjoyed by all others. We are sure our readers will miss Mr. Upton's service equally so with the publishers of the "Soaring Eagle". The column, however will go right on with Mr. Joe Rakestraw, well known writer of U. P. news. We commend Mr. Rakestraw to your future consideration as editor of the Railroad clatter. Mr. Pankey. Santa Fe Red Cap, will continue his humor as an adjunct to the Clatter.

The boys are singing 'em in Omaha now because twenty-seven and twenty-eight have been fortunate recently in having good loads, cheer up boys you will have the gravity in the "Good old Summer Time." William (Ug the Baby) Davis of Diner 388 served in the capacity of steward on a recent tip of the "Overland" east, a sudden attack of illness forced the steward to leave his post for medical attention. Rumors that seven and eight "The Deluxe" would operate dinners through beginning January the fifteenth seem to be "all wet" now since the crew have been reduced to three waiters, thus making waiters four, five and six swing men on the gold coast, it is time now for some new baker heater. Tred (Tubby Lloyd) formerly of Dining Court Crew, 304 who is wintering in Erwin Norths, a fashionable suburb, Northwest of Chicago, sends his beat regards to the gang.

The tourist rush to Southern California for the season of 1927-1928 has reached its peak with record numbers according to local officials. This increase are more than the crease of 25 per cent over the totals of last season, one feature of the 1928 season is the special train service instituted by the Union Pacific for runs between Los Angeles and Cleveland, Ohio, the first of these trains arrived today, the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Systems are also bringing capacity loads. ```markdown ``` MAIDS HOME BURGLARIZED The hope of Maid L.

UNION PACIFIC GOSSIP Once Overs Johnny Watkins left today on the Continental Limited for Denver, Colorado, where his mother is reported to be seriously ill. Harry Barnett has transferred from Observation car service to dining car service, in this transfer he has been assigned to diner 301 as pantryman. Lawrence Cloyd who recently fell victim to Dan Cupid has returned to work with that million dollar smile that he constantly wears and a billion dollar feeling. Jim Boger of Diner 711 was assigned to the swing but he was four days late on his schedule before he could find him as man to bump. He eventually formed the crew of Boger, Stevens and Uphaw. Bill Dompyn says that if the commissary doesn't send him out soon he is going to take him a run. (Such things have been done, Bill). By GLADYCE GREENAWAY Well, Folks, guess you thought we had either fallen asleep, given up writing because it hurt our wrists, or gone away. As it was neither we'll have to up and confess. It was just plain lazyness, thats all. But we have again buckled down to hard work, so cast your eyes as before around this way. The following we have named our "Fox Number". The news consists of little things hither and thither of the doings of members of the Silver Fox Club. Hope it won't hurt your eyes. The Silver Fox house party given at the home of Miss Irene Woodson, 1224 East Adams Street, December 30th was a huge success, with a capital H. The beautiful house was decorated very artistically. Punch was served at intervals. Music was furnished by that master of the ivories. Mr. Jesse Gibson, and the fifty or more guests were high in praise of Mr. Gibson's ivory tickling and Miss Woodson's role of hostess. A formal ball will be given on the 22nd of February at Blanckhard's Hall by the Silver Fox Club. Floyd's six piece orchestra will furnish the music. Mr. Lester Zimmerman, member of the Silver Fox Club, will be married to the lovely Miss Irma Armstrong on the 16th of January. Irma will probably be one of the most attractive brides of the season, so Lester better watch out that some of the boys don't steal her. Mr. Louis V. Cole, "Silver Fox" and big baggage merchant from Bagdad, is finding West 37th Street a very pleasant place to spend an afternoon or evening, especially in company with a little lady whose last name spells the momentary disease folks catch before entering the bonds or matrimony. He was seen at the Lincoln last Sunday, with the young lady mentioned above, and heard singing very, very softly, "Blue Heaven", which probably meant that is where he was. Mr. Willie Dudley, member in good standing in the Sile Silver Fox Club, also seems to have become suddenly very interested in the West side, especially West 36th Street. It happened that while he and the young chicken of the said West 36th Street were getting ready, with the rest of their immediate party, to shove in Dudley's Ford roadster, that along came Mr. Frank Watkins driving a Chrysler roadster. Now Frank, of course is very interested also in West 36th St, and we wanted a sapphire crown "good evenings" to this Sheba who however, had lost her tongue, or perhaps it was one of those embarrassing moments. Anyway, "time will tell." A party of seven attended Carthay Circle Theatre which is showing "Sunrise", Sunday evening. The party consisted of the Misses La Vera White, Verna Lewis, Gladye Greenaway, and Mrs. Margie Nevels, and Messrs. Edward McCollum and Samuel Warren. Messrs. B. Bryley and Roland Jones entertained a few friends at their home on West 33th Place, Sunday, January 8th. Mr. Altred Pierre played. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Morris Fynn, who are the very newest hymenmooners in Los Angeles. Mrs. Brown was the former Miss Ethel Relph and a student at Jefferson High School. Mr. Fynn was formerly a member of the Lone Wolf Club. Ask me another department: — Where would the loaders loaf if Central Avenue burned up? As we have mentioned before, spats seem to mean a lot to the young bloods and otherwise of Los Angeles. Does that mean that "spats make the man"? Young Grant won the decision over "Muddy Water," a couple of weeks ago at Pico and Central Avenue. The fight was well attended, approximately three-quarterly of the working people of that district leaving their jobs to gaze with much enjoyment on the spectacle of two young men trying to prove the other was wrong.

The past summer, at the dedication of its $300,000 build: ing in Houston, the finest, largest and most modern ofits kind in the entire Southwest, she was given prominence on the program as the only surviving charter member and as one who bad held every office in the provinee of the order that could be held by women. For it was to her and other similar pioneer men and women who were able to see the vision and had the cour- age to work out its consumation that it had achieved such notable distine- tion. in her daily life, she enjoyed a cli- entele of @ large circle of the most prominent and influential citizenry of Houston, who were glad to regard her ‘as a friend and often asked that they. -be allowed to demonstrate their high regard hy granting her some favor and there are amongst our race group in that fair city, several who had secur- ed.advancemant to the highest spheres| through 3 timely word or request, spoken. by ther, for sbe asked, never for herselt bat always for others, ‘Her’s was an, independent spirit and, ‘she was active to the time of her pass- Sng and always self-supporting. “At an eatly age, she connected her- self with historic Trinity Methodist Bpiscopal Church of ‘Houston, to whose allegiance she adhered unfalj teringly and unswervingly through the passing -yeare—fully a half-century of, service—and not once negligent in her obligations ot derelect in her duties.

During the third course of the dinner one or the guests became curious and pulled the ribbon streamer nearest her, and the secret was out, the other guests then following suit, soon learned what it was all about.

What power and magic in that small word! Since Leander swam the Hellespont for Nero what deeds or daring, what crimes have been committed in the name of beauty! In this materialistic age, there may be women so practical that they would put wealth before beauty, if fair godmothers came to life again and gave the choice. Probably, they would figure that in modern times wealth could bring any woman near to beauty provided nature had blessed her with a passable physique and a good digestion. If they really had the choice however, nine out of ten would vote for beauty and trust that their luck and own intelligence with the aid of beauty would ultimately bring them all the wealth they require. It is useless and unnecessary to repine over the absence of fairy godmothers. Beauty is within the reach of every intelligent woman. There are a hundred methods of achieving beauty and a thousand more to retain it. Beauty depends upon three things: good health, good temper and good manners. FACE BLEACH Prepare 1 cake Fleischmann yeast, mix with lemon juice and witch hazel to spreadable paste. Spread over face evenly. Allow to dry. Remove with cold towels. The may be given after the bleach is given or before. Avoid cover- ing the eyebrows or roots of hair.

Los Angeles Railway Grows In 1927 Figures for the year 1927 show marked, growth of the Los Angeles Railway. Fourteen single track miles of track were reconstructed and two miles of new track built, at the approximate cost of $845,000.00. This required use of 3,000 tons of steel girder rail, 50,000 cressted ties, 32,000 tons of crushed rock, 55,000 drain tile and 800,000 square feet of paving. Approximately $128,000 was expended to paving and $210,000.00 for new paving. Twenty layouts of special work (crossings and curves) were installed or renewed, costing some $80,000.00. The Los Angeles Railway's proportion of the cost of the Seventh Street Viaduct, exclusive of tracks, amounted to $178,000.00. Twenty-eight new motor coaches were added to the service, at a cost of $275,000.00. Thirty-five miles of single track overhead were renewed, using 117,662 pounds of copper trolley wire; 2 miles of new track were laid, which required an additional 5364 pounds, making a total of 123,028 pounds of copper wire. There were 7,870 pounds of 1,000,000 C. M. cable, 2,235 pounds of 600,000 cable and 13,124 pounds of 4:0 stranded and solid cable used for feeder work. In the Los Angeles Railway's own shops 510 street cars were overhaul at an approximate cost of $500,000.00. MOTOR COACH DIVISION OF LOS ANGELES RAILWAY GROWS IN 1927 Figures for 1927 show that the operations of the Los Angeles Railway Motor Coach Division increased about one third over 1926. Two entirely new lines were added, Mines Avenue and Whittier Boulevard Line and the Crescent Heights Boulevard Line. 8.75 miles of new coach route. There were 2.43 miles of extensions, making a total of route mileage increase for the year, a little over 11 miles, and total miles of route 65. Coach miles operated show a large increase, and every two days the coaches run a distance of more than equal around the world. Five double-deck and twenty-three single-deck coaches were added to the service, making a total, after deducting old equipment, of 119 coaches. None of the above figures include the Los Angeles Railway's interest in the Los Angeles Motor Coach Company. During 1927 the new repair shops, a building over 300 feet long, of the most modern design, were completed. A new service station was also completed for filling coaches with gasoline, which runs through a meter in a continuous stream. This is much better than the usual method, and is the only large installation of its kind on the Pacific Coast. A modern washing system has been installed and is nearly completed. Plans have been drawn for a new Motor Coach Division headquarters, but it was not possible to start the actual work on this project in the year 1927 OFFICER HELD IN DEATH OF NEGRO (By: A. N. P.) Hamlet, N. C., Jan. 9.—Following the killing of Claudie Robinson, railroad worker, late Thursday night, Patrolman R. C. H. Berry of the city police force was held for the grand jury in bail of $1,000 by the corner's judge. Robinson was killed by the officer when his home was raided in search of another colored man. According to Berry, Robinson was armed and he shot him with self-defense. Little credence put in this statement as Robbins bears the reputation of being a peace-living man and a law-sblding (By: A. N. P.) New York, N. Y., Jan. 10.—When three white men decided to play a joke, they blacked the face of one of their number and sent him out to hold up a store. He was arrested while trying to force an entry into a grocery store at 127th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue. Policeman Matthew Sullivan of the West 135th street station made the arrest. Arraigned in Washington Heights Court, the man gave his name, Joseph Cole, 30, his real name, and that his friends were secretly playing a Christmas prank. Two other men, Joseph Cochran and John Coney, also white, testified that they had blacked O'Neale's face and sent him out. All three declared that they had been under the influence or liquor. The magistrate dismissed the case. Mother Steals Baby (By: A. N. P.) New York, N. Y., Jan. 11. —Longing for a baby to take the place of her infant, who had died a short while ago, led Ethel Gilmore of 24 Banks street, Rockville Center, into serious trouble in connection with the kidnapping of baby Ruby Carolina, three months old daughter of a Brooklyn laborer. WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH (By: A. N. P.) Florence, Ala., Jan. 10.—The charred body of Mrs. Sue Hall was found in the ruins of her home which was destroyed by fire here Thursday night. The police believe that Mrs. Hall was overcome by smoke and could not effect her escape from the burning dwelling and neighbors and firemen thought nobody was in the house at the time of the fire. Herb Doctor Arrested (By: A. N. P.) Washington, D. C. Jan. 9—Charged with practicing medicine without license, James Clark, a sixty-year-old herb doctor, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon and placed in jail. Clark protested his arrest stating that he was an expert at gathering herbs at the age of 5 and that his early training in medicine was received from an indian chief near Athens, Georgia, forty years ago, but the officers explained to him that this did not give him license to practice what he had learned. Five Electrocuted in N.C.During 1927 (BY A. Waltigh, N. C., Jan. 10.—Five men were electrocuted at the state prison here during the year 1927 and all of them were Negroes, according to prison statistics. All were convicted of murder. Nashville Banner Decries Lynching Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 11.—While finding some gratification in small number of lynchings during the past year, the NASHVILLE TENNESSEE BANNER in an editorial decried lynching and urged the citizens of the South to use their influence and the law its power to blot out this practice in the South. Notwithstanding the fact that the number this year was small, the editor declared: "The people of this section must still hang their heads in shame when the matter comes up for discussions" and that "only through looking such situations fair in the face may the South hope to redeem itself once and for all from the worst disrespect that now attaches to it." That lynchings can be prevented was pointed out in the case of North Carolina, where "it has become an exceedingly perilous business to join a mob" because the would-be lynchers "do so at their own great risk." It is the opinion of the editor: that if the officers of the law, perform their duty in protecting prisoners and that if the courts indict and punish lynchers as they should be, lynching will disappear in the South. ARKANSAS ENDS Chaffett, Ark., Jan. 11.—A man hunt, which extended over four counties came to an end here when four Negroes were lodged in jail in connection with the drowning of Julius McCollum, an eleven year old white boy here Thursday. The four suspects are Elbert Thomas, Grady Swain, Albert Smith, and Willie Thomas. While the four are being held, officers are seeking to fasten the crime upon Elbert Thomas, who was employed by the white boy's father and who was first suspected of the killing. 2.

MATT SOLOMON Mrs. Olga Groner,nee Olga Harris, has just successfully passed an examination as a full fledged nurse before the State examining board which qualifies her in the entirety. It will be remembered that Mrs. Groner was married only last Summer, whose nuptials was one of the most elaborate in the annals of Pursadena society. She is the beautiful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Harris of South Oak Avenue. She has been successful in passing the State Board examination and is now a Registered Nurse. The annual reception for strangers and visitors on leas. Monday night sponsored by the Euzelian and Brotherhood classes of Friendship Baptist Church was a wonderful success. A short program was tendered presided over by Deacon Roy Turner as Master of Ceremonies after the program all found their way to the banquet hall where all enjoyed the repast while felicitations were exchanged. Short talks were made by Revs. Littleton and Carter. Atty. Phillips, Rev. Hampton and J. B. Short, President of the clos. More than 250 persons were present, all of whom departed late fully enjoying the affair. The Mission Society of Friendship Baptist Church, under the leadership of Mrs. Eva Burton held its regular monthly meeting on last Sunday which was a decided success. Mrs. Burton has worked hard to bring this society p t o the standard and has about accomplished her desire. She is progressive and the society bids fair to become second to none in the State. A big real estate transaction has just been completed thru the C. Mills Realty Company whereby Mrs. Lula Robinson becomes owner of the property now occupied as a parsonage of the Friendship Baptist Church. From reports the tranction involved the amount of $11,000.

Reynolds of West Washington St., who is visiting them, will leave soon for her home in Topeka, Kansas. Mrs. Rhoda Harris has joined the staff of the Phillips Real Estate Company as a salesman.

To interest the hearers the Mission Auxiliary of Friendship Baptist Church, has procured the services of a returned missionary by the name of Mrs. Frederickson, who is recently from Africa. She will depict in words her work and accomplishments among the natives which should be the source of much interest. The public is invited on next Sunday afternoon. The 4th Sunday at the FiFrst A. M.

U. of the First A. M. E. Church when Mrs. Mrs. Howard Wilson of the Los Angeles Y. W. C. A. spoke to the young folk from the subject, "The Power of an Idea." Many news ideas were imflared into the minds of the young folks. Chitterling feeds are beginning to be a great repeat in Pasadena here of late. At the home of Mrs. Clements a large crowd was present on last Tuesday to partake of this repast under the auspices of the New York Club. The Kansas Club is making elaborate preparations for a monster celebration of Lincoln and Douglas day on the evening of February 13th. More or less rivalry is keen in the First A. M. E. Church between the clubs, which results in much enthusiasm. The Missionary Women are making a rive for discarded clothing of the usable sort to be used for the less fortunate. Associated with this movement is the pastor's wife, Mrs. Meggie Brown, who has always shown a disposition to be of invaluable help to her husband. Watts News Mr. Cunningham on E. 114th street has secured a position in one of the tailor shops in the city. Rev. Robinson, who has been living in St. Louis for several months on account of illness, is expected home soon. His health is much improved.

The young people having been placed in the more important offices of the B. P. U. they plan on a year of big achievements. Wonderful sevices are being held on Sunday morning at Blythe A. M. E. Church, Rev. J. L. Jackson, the pastor, is teaching some great lessons. The Colored citizens of Blythe were astonished when city officers arrested one knows as Sam Bowman, often called "Battling Sam," who is alleged to have gone to the home of R. H. Ehlers, a cancher here, and stolen several articles of clothes, in leaving a ground ground being soft and damp in places he was easily trailed. The missing articles were found in Bowman's house. He had a preliminary hearing at Blythe and was then carried to Riverside jail. Work has been plentiful and there has no cause for such action. The colored people and all organizations help needy people generously and this crime meets the diaproval of law-abiding colored people. NOTICE !

There are soe few newspapers scattered around over the country that have no editorial department, but they are simple commercial sheets devoted to advertising and other sources of revenue. They have no opinion of their own, and therefore no need to express them. The journalist who does nothing but paddle along with public opinion, is of no value.

The California Eagle, like other newspapers the world over, is repeatedly the victim of artful attacks in an effort to secure valuable space for the introduction of various schemes for private gain or the moulding of public opinion toward "putting over" some sinister plot. Some bureau or syndicate or manufacturer or politician will hit upon a happy idea, and some clever fellow will tell just how he can work the newspapers for all the "stuff" needed; whereupon the "expert" is engaged or the advice is taken without the aid of the expert. He makes good at getting the stuff out—but publishers are too keen to allow the grafting game to go too far. Invariably, when the scheme is found out in time, and the matter is refused, a threat is hurled at the publishers that the "story" will be given to another paper. The plot works, occasionally, but not always. In the long run, the schemer usually loses out because never again can the paper be approached in the same way by the same schemer.

There is more of good news than of bad news today, every day. There is more to see on the sunny side, and it is more worth seeing. There are only two reasons for gazing at ugly things; either that we may more fully know evil when we meet, even in gilded robes; or that we may grapple with it and blot it out. Broad highroads of honor lead to every worthy goal of life. The mud roads are in the lowlands, leading only to dissolution and corruption. If we travel the mud road it is at our own volition. Sin is not the harvest of life. It is the chaff threshed from the wholesome grain and will be swept from the threshing floor. Why look upon the chaff when the grain is there?

COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON A dinner given by Perry Howard in Washington, D. C., Dec. 27th has given en the fellows out here the chuckles: "Well! Ain't he a boob!" and similar expressions, were heard from San Diego to Seattle. How any one with the alleged political astuteness of Perry Howard could pull such a bloomer is beyond our ken. The scene of the Howard feast—because it is asserted that he claims to have "gone down in his own pockets for the expense of the feed—was at the Whitelaw Hotel It was given, ostensibly for the National Committeemen and women of the race who were in attendance at the meeting of the Republican National Committee. But strange to say, the Chairman of that committee was giving a dinner that same night, and you can rest assured that no member of the committee was invited to receive a invitation. But Perry had to run true to form, and it might be possible that Perry's patron saint, Pat Harrison, though of the opposite party, suggested the idea of separate entertainment—we don't say that he did, but it is possible. Some "ill bred persons" even go so far as to say that Perry suggested the idea to the "Pow- THEY NEVER HAVE ANY CHRISTMUS THERE! WHO TOLD YUH THAT "WHOPPER" MICKY? would be Republican if cast, is never counted. And, like her contemporary States, Georgia and Mississippi, she curtains the Black vote. Cohen is angry with Roehl, the national Committee, and it gives him the whip hand over the State politics of the party. The "Lily Whites" are seeking to wrest it from him. The outcome of the struggle will depend upon the ability of Cohen to muster the strength of the poly hued group, known as the "Black and Tan." Walter does not seem to be as fortunate as Perry Howard in having a Pat Harrison to smooth over the rough spots, but then, Cohen is a regular Gene Tunney when it comes to a scrap. So we expect to see many a "Lily White" hit the canvas before the bout is over. Governor Young, California, has given to his constituency a full report of his year's stewardship. The greater part has been given to reorganization of the State's working forces. The Bureaus, and different divisions have been placed in good working order and are functioning in co-ordination with the plans of the administration. Aside from the reorganization, the outstanding results of the year's efforts are the monthly conference of Bureau heads; protection of forest against fires; study of the crime problem; protection of California's interest in the Boulder Canyon controversy; study of the problem of marketing agricultural products, and State highway development. With those matters pretty well under advisement the great problem of taxation will receive careful consideration. Speaking or taxation: There is a great dissatisfaction among all classes of San Francisco's citizens at the ruthless boost of taxes in that county. Remarks of the recall are many and the rumblings of an angry citizenry are deeper than the diapason of the ocean at its door. California voters cannot be played with, and they have no compunction in putting a political head under the guillotine. When you play false with Mr. and Mrs. Voter in California, you end up your political head. When asked why Senator Hirum Johnson—the best hated man in California's political life—is a success at the polls, the answer is obvious: He keeps the faith; he lives up to his promise. Are the average working classes getting wages higher than they need? A Yale professor, Irvin Fisher, backed by statistics, says that four-fifths of us, more than 90,000,000, are making a little above actual expenses and can lay up little, if any, for the "rainy day." In 1926, 93,000,000 of a total of 117,000,000, living in the U. S. had about $500 of income a piece. The 90 odd million comprise the "poorest and lower middle class, who, according to Willford I. King's grouping, comprise 65 per cent of the whole population. This estimate is the gross, leaving nothing or an estimate for vacation, unemployment, old age, for saving of any kind. Combining the "poorest" and "lower middle classes," there is about $117 per family left, over to make provision for items above the minimum of health and decency below which family cannot go without danger of physical and moral deterioration." Much depends. Many of us are making $2000 perform acrobatic feats which make the "goddess" dizzy, and then have a penny left for "gas." Others on the same income, are in debt continually. So don't worry! The science of the engineer has conquered the Hudson. The Holland, vehicular tunnel, New York, New Jersey, has been opened for traffic. It is the longest vehicular tunnel in the world, 9.250 feet, of which 5.480 feet are under the river. Tolls for vehicles of all sizes rang from 25 cents to $1.25. It costs $11.323 per day for operation. The average traffic will need be 16,000 cars.

If San Francisco and Oakland can lay aside their publicities, we can hope to see some speedier means of bay transportation. Bridge the bay or place a tube; cut down the twenty minutes to six. It can be paid for in 20 years. There is a school history in the series of California books that needs supervision. There are some very subtle bits of propaganda which are noticeable as having a tendency to inferrate in the minds of pupils who are of a difference in color. For instance: The Boston Massacre is narrated without mention of names. The black Crispus Attacks, would have to be mentioned. Bunker Hill would, if historically correct, have to mention Peter Salem. As it is no particular names are mentioned. So well, so good! But turning to the emancipation of the slave, unwanted space is given, even to the saying of their committing depredations along the highways—"stealing, thieving in various forms and general demoralization." it is obvious that where children are concerned those things are trouble breeders. Why not mention the loyalty, patriotism, heroism, of a people as they depict, unnecessarily, the shortcomings of people who were turned loose in the world under such disadvantages. The space given to the narrative makes the effort the more glaring. PIANO INSTRUCTION Piano Tuning Repair C. D. COOKSEY AX. 5252 1327 E. 48th Pl.

Saturday, January 7th, Pirrone's Major and Minor League tied up with the Hilldale Giants. For the first time this year Joe Pirrone took a place in the line-up as Center fielder and played it well, catching two hard flies that might have resulted in runs.

Pirrone's club was unable to bat strong enough against the colored team. Murray chalked up a homer for the All Stars in the first game. In the second game Dixon of the Giants sunk a three-bagger into right field, for the bright spot of the loser's offensive.

There is one player off the Hildale Giants who will be greatly missed by the fans during the reast of the Winter League race at White Sox Park. This is that great boy Stevens, who is voted to be the best short stop that ever played on the Winter League. Every time a ball was hit to the field the fans would rise to watch Stevens. Running like a greyhound he would leap for a high drive or dive for a grounder reckless as to himself, just so he got the ball, and he invariably did while the cheering watchers in the stand would shout "look at that!" "Oh boy, can't he play", and similar exclamations. Stevens got his right wrist badly injured a week or so ago while tagging out a runner at 2nd, and playing on with it made it worse until it was found he would have to stay out of the games at least two or three weeks. So not wishing to place additional hardships on the boys by accepting his cut of the proceeds, he decided to go home. He will stop over in Ho! Springs for a few weeks then go on for the Spring training. Upper-Cuts & Blocks 0-o-0-o-o --By-- HARRY LEVETTE NO, not dead, but just resigned from the Railroad Clatter's news section of this paper. It may not mean much to the Sporting World in general but Mr. Upton is the man who "found" Yours Truly and introduced him to the Eagle. I have tried to live up to the splendid things he said about my ability to scribble Sport stuff above all to tell the truth, but there is no man better posted on Sports and more interested in them than this same Chas. Upton. NIGHT after night, he used to sit up in his car on the road while everyone was asleep writing his news and never missing an issue. That is real interest, real workmanship, real self-sacrifice for an ideal and any publication will be fortunate in obtaining his services if he ever returns to journalism.

Referee Billy Darnley Is All Smiles Now A. Met Billy Darley on Fourth Street with a smile like the rising sun over Catalina Island. He had just received news that the commission would consider his application for a new license and he would soon be back in the hempen arena that he loves so well. Billy is a good referee, no foolin', but has been suspended for some time through some one's oversight. In handling mixed routes he has never discriminated against a colored boy because of his color, but has judged the fight on the fighters' merits. Such a referee deserves a good break and the same good word.

Dust From The Campus BY: LAWRENCE F. LAMAR Who was it? W0 ask, who was it that composed that huge caravan of eight sons of Troy on footback that got off said feet and draped themselves gracefully over the library steps out at the Southern Branch? We ask, who was it? Ha, ha, that's a hot one, isn't it? Well, there were about eight cf these fellows from U. S. C. who found their way out on the Brunin campus, and had a wonderful time the girl, mean coeds-to-the great museum of the boys. A sons of Troy, better watch your step. Those fellows out that way get awful mad at times, especially when you violate all sorts of tradition, and attempt to create new ideas, which in this case is very bad.

I've learned that, in a short while, I might be able to get some or the wrinkles out of my stomach. They are going to make one of those down South pictures, and I know that somewhere in it, the atmosphere must be black. Well!n't I black? and don't I stand in white? The title to this picture is "Honor Bound." The setting is the state prison in Alabama. The story is wound around the title, making honor the chief theme. Two of our boys, Robert Frazier and Oscar Smith, have sizeable parts in it, that bring lucrative returns. The cast includes: George O'Brien and Estelle Taylor, wife of Jack Demesne, under the able direction of All Greene, capable Fox Film Director. Frazier and Oscar Smith should easily make good. TIFFANY-STAHL PRODUCTION In the near past there has been considerable rumors abroad, concerning the making of a picture by this company employing colored leads. The information in my hands at present concerning the authenticity of this premature report leaves this rumor well grounded, as a fact. They are to make a picture employing such leads. They have gone so far as to tentatively engage the male and female lead. We understand that Creole Carolle Snowden has been retained as female lead and Lincoln Perry or Step 'N Fetchit fame has the male lead. These same two made good in Old Kentucky. Or what kind of eyes or hair Or whether they're tall or short Or complexion dark or fair No, now the thing that counts the most More than beauty, more than wit It that indescribable elusive charm That some one has christened "IT." Now nobody knows just what "it" is "It" can't be described just right. A certain something about some one Like hypnotism, but not quite But still it attracts most everyone Like a magnet does the steel Without it, it you're just simply a dub With it, the world's under your heel. Now I think this discovery of "it" is great Just because we don't know what it" is, You can scarcely affirm or really deny Some charm that might be her's or his For when some poor people look in the glass And see nothing that wold make a hit They don't feel the least bit bad any more For they're satisfied that they have "IT." —ERNESTINE DAVIDSON.

DON'T FORGET THE DATE BAKER'S HOLDING PREVENTED OMAHA BATTLER WINNING Sergt. Sammy Baker did not live up to the precepts of Uncle Sam's Devil Dogs, Dough Boys or even raw "Rookies" in his so-called battle against Charlie Long, Tuesday night for Uncle Sam's commands are fight! fight! fight! and not hold! hold! hold! When the first gong changed Baker clamped a visc-like grip down on Long's left arm under his arm and held his fail swinging right with his other hand. And the rest of the rounds were a repetition of the first except the 9th and 10th when, after Long seemed to tire a little from constantly struggling loose and pounding away on Baker's body, Baker did a little aggressive fighting and got to Long's head with some rights and lefts. Fighting according to agreement Long would have broken him in two with body punches and probably knocked him out. So close was the decision that the Eastern engagements that Clyde Hudkins, his manager has lined up for him, will not in any way lessened in importance but will all be filled. FIGHTS SHADE HERE That great fighter Dave Shade will be the next and probably the last the socking sed-wheeler meets before going East, after which among other fights at Kansas, City, Detroit and elsewhere he meets Baker again in New York. EDDIE MOORE WONDERFULLY CLEVER In giving the decision to Baker in the 6-round special over Eddie Moore just arrived from Amarillin, Tex. Referee Charley Kandolph drew boos from most of the fans as Eddie had given Baker a lightning boxing lesson for five of the six rounds. More than 27,000 new gas and electric meters were added to the system of Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation during 1927. This brings the total meters on the company's lines to the striking total of 500,022, on January 1st. During the past five years 208,555 new meters have been added—an increase during the five year period of nearly 72%. This fact clearly shows the remarkable growth of the community, which has been shared in by every section. It indicates, also, how the utility company must constantly expand to keep pace with the demands for gas and electric service.

The Midnight, Limited of the Southern Railroad, tore madly through darkness. Suddenly the engineer set the brakes, sparkles flow from therails as the looked wheels sild, there came a cry of pain, the lights went out as car after car toppled from the tracks. Then came a sudden silence, more terrible than the harsh grating of iron and steel. A sound singularly like a snore came from a pile of debris. Hastily removing the twisted iron and wood, the passengers found two women and the porter with his arms around them. "Great Heavens, Porter, didn't you know there had been a wreck?" "That's alright, good people, please go away and let me slap." WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO I find listed under "The Great Things," the following—the greatest need—common sense, the best day—today. I was at the Lincoln last week. The public wants to be charmed and pleased, and cold technique seldom produces results. I know that Mr. Curtis W. Carpentier, manager, and the rest of the house force, are trying to make things pleasant for everyone that goes there. Upon entering, you can see the manager in the lobby greeting patrons, the operator gives you plenty of time to read the reading matter, the organist is pleasing. Mosby's Blue Bowers, and the actors strive to please, and those comedians just make you laugh at them. There has never been great satisfaction than they are giving. This must be their alogan— "Just a bit or comedy Will always make you smile Just a bit of courtesy Will bring them in for miles Just a bit of friendliness Will make them tell their friends Just a bit of service Will bring them back again." THE EVIDENCE My old friend Bill Jones arrived home from the picnic looking the worse of things, one eye was closed, nose broken, face bruised and hand in a gling. His wife asked him, "What in the world is the matter with you?" "That little Tom White," said Bill, "He did it." "Shame on you," said Mrs. Jones, "You big Los Angeles garbage handler, you let a little Central Avenue bootblack, the size of him, to beat you up." "Now, you just listen to me. The evidence I am carrying, proved that I killed him in self defense." LEFT TOO EARLY You never can tell what will happen after you have left a place of enjoyment. But I was surprised to know that my old friend Ed. got in trouble. "They say it was terrible, the way he carried on." That was nothing. You should have seen the way he he was carried, out. "Well, my friend, this is a treat to have a meal with you and your family, but where is the little girl?" "Oh, you know it's the same old thing, when you start to eat, one of the children must go to the corner store for something." 8OME IDEA The following extract is from a letter written home to his wife by a soldier on active duty in France. It will bring tender memories to the hearts of many ex-service men. "Please don't send me any more nagging letters. Mable. They don't do any good. You know I'm thousands from home and I want to enjoy this wet, muddy and hungry war in peace." THE THOUGHT THE WOULD WAIT When the lecturer paused after a well rounded period, a wild-eyed man stoop up and asked: "I beg your pardon, Mr. Speaker, but how long have you been lecturing?" "About four years, my friend," was the reply. "Well," said the questioner as he sat down, "will stick around, you must be nearly through." THAT WILL NEVER DO "Come on, it's getting late and I want to get this thing over." "No, no, you go alone and while you are asking papa for my hand I am going to play something lively on the piano." HE PRAYED FOR DREN HEARTS An old man had been told by his doctor that he had a floating kidney. As he was much disturbed over what the doctor had told him, he went to a reagent for the prayers of the congregation. "I don't know just how I can men- Drama Music ~BEACHES~ tion a floating kidney, the congregation might laugh." "Well, I don't see why they should," said the sufferer, "it was just last Sunday that you prayed for the congregation to open their hearts." NOTICE!

We, Lizzy and I, put on the brakes pulled up to the curb of the Bloodyt Motor Car Co., last Tuesday A. M. and went in to look at the latest sensation in motordom the Hudson-Essay combination.

Lewis K Beeks, attorney-at-law had a falling out with his Durant and summarily discharged it employing in its stead a sharp-looking, sporty Willys Knight coupe.

BY: R. G. LAMAR Little did the old timer know or realize twenty years ago that today Watts would constitute a population of more than 5000 residents. Neither did they know nor dream that lots which could have been purchased for a mere song are now ranging from $350 to $1000 per lot. It is said that history repeats itself, respecting the growth of adjacent territory to Los Angeles, we would not go far astray if we should say that Watts within the next very few years will more than repeat its past history—in population and property—in business etc. It is therefore obvious that he who takes the advantage at this time of the awaiting opportunities will profit thereby.

C., Jan 10—Prof. Monroe Work who heads the Bureau of Statistics and Research at Tuskegee and whose "New Year Book" is the currently accepted authority as race cyclopedia, was one of the delegates in attendance at the Association of Learned Societies Conference in Washington during Christmas week. At the conclusion of his conference duties, Dr. Work spent an afternoon at the Department of Commerce where he conferred with Gorton James, chief to Dr. Frank M. Surface in the discussion of research work and economic matters pertaining to the nation at large and the South in particular. The Doctor was so impressed with the vital importance of the surveys being conducted by the Bureau that he has volunteered to collaborate with the government whenever the machinery or his organization can be of service to its work. Hours: 9-5 Open Evening DR. HUGH A. BELL DENTISTRY PROPHYLAXIS and PYORRHEA FORCELAIN BRIDGEWORK 851 1/2 Central Ave. Corner 9th and Central Vandite 7302 Los Angeles, Cal. New York, N. Y., Jan. 12.—West Indian secret orders and benevolent organizations in this city are under the strictest surveillance of the British Government, if reports reaching the Associated Negro Press correspondent are true. It is alleged that four officials who were questioned, regarding this watching done by the British government admit that they have been in constant correspondence with the government, saying that it may do more harm than good. The British government has on file in the Home Office at London, copies of the By-Laws and Constitutions and Proceedings from every one of the meetings held by several of these societies. Color is lent this fact because of the demands being made by some of the societies on the British government for bettering the economic condition of certain classes in the islands. But because most of the members of these societies are citizens of the United States, the question as to their activities is likely to become an international one, involving both, the government of the United States and that of Great Britain. Capt. Eastside Girls Baseball Team Writes From Kansas City Little Genevieve Hawkins, speedy captain of the East Side Girls Baseball team which played so many snappy games at Snyder's Field last year is at Quindaro College in Kansas City, Kans. this year. She writes that the Kansas girls do not surpass the California girls in athletics and sends a cheery hello to all her friends here. Unemployment Increases Chicago Says Urban League Report Chicago, Ill., Jan. 9.—That unemployment is increasing rapidly in Chicago was outlined in the report of A. L. Foster, director of the local Urban League to the board of directors. Thursday morning at the annual meeting held at the City Club. "In addition to the increased employment," declared Mr. Foster, "there is a tendency on the part of housewives to reduce the wages of domestics. Less wages are paid and more work expected from domestic workers than before. This is working a greater hardship on families, because in the past the family has depended upon the wages of the mother when the father goes out of work." The report further showed that there was a continual influx of work seekers from Detroit, which makes the situation more critical. Many of these men have no money, and no place to live. To help them the league office has been kept open for the past month or two until ten o'clock in the evening. The work of the Urban League has been very effective during the past year, according to the report of the executive secretary. More people THE NEW YORKER Speakers Plead for Equal Opportunity For Negroes (By: A.N.P.) Washington, D. C. Jah. 10.—Pleas for equal opportunities for Negroes to develop were made here January 2 by Colonel West A. Hamilton, who addressed a gathering at the Abury A. M. E. Church and by Representatives Hamilton Fish of New York, who spoke at the John Wesley A. M. E. Church. Colonel Hamilton detailed in fall the progress which the Negro has made since emancipation of his forebears and dwelt at length upon the requirements and benefits of the present citizenship which is afforded Negro citizens in the United States. Speaking on the subject, "The progress of the colored people since emancipation and their rights under the Constitution of the Representative Fish, urged that the Negro America be accorded every right and opportunity offered the Constitution of the United States, regardless of what section of the country he lived. Brief addresses were made by representatives of different organizations including various fraternal organizations and welfare associations. Y. M. C. A.
