California Eagle

Prompt Action Of Police Save Woman's Lite 1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 Rams Fist Through Rear Door Cut Artery Nearly Causes Death Mrs. Joseph of the Smith 733 E. 24th was only saved from bleeding to death by the prompt arrival of a police ambulance early Sunday morning. Mrs. Smith the young widow of a retired army sergeant who recently passed had become peeved at some occurrence while drawing and slighting from her car shammed the door shut, with such force that her hand resting against the glass instead of the handle went through it and an awful gash was cut in the biceps muscle by the jugged edges of the broken window. Her screams aroused the sleeping neighbors and first aid treatment was used to attempt to arrest the flow of blood. This was of little avail but with turquets the ambulance crew checked the bleeding until she could be driven to the Receiving Hospital, where the dangerous wound was sewed up. She is slowly recovering. A. With the Republic Cafe as the scene of unfoldment, the invited guests who had received mysterious invitations to attend a mysterious party on last Friday which some say is a mysterious day; quite a hundred guests responded, they found the spacious rooms decorated in exquisite fashion, they found entrancing music render by the Royal family. They took advantage of this mystery and tripped the fantastic toe to the hearts content. The refreshments consisting of punch and wafers, mysteriously appeared and likewise disappeared. Well along in the mystery Mr. F. J. White mysteriously sat at the position of master of ceremonies and, introduced editor J. B. Bass, who stated this a general business address that the California Eagle had thus far fathomed the mystery and it would soon be unfolded. After just a few more choice selections by the Royal family, Mrs. C. A. Bass was presented and brought forward Mrs. V. E. Guy and presenting to her a huge bouquet of Jack Rose, and unfolded the mystery by announcing the compliments of her husband V. E. Guy who had arranged the Mystery party as a token of esteem and respect for his loving wife. Mrs. Frances Wicks acted as head of the receiving line and indeed the mystery Party proved to be one of the big events of the season. Louisville, Ky. Jan. 13. A few weeks ago a new ice Factory was opened in this city in the west end by members of our group. Quite a number of men have been employed and modern equipment has been installed. We have about thirty local ice dealers all of whom have heseptioe purchased their ice from the large trust companies. Citizens Aghast At The Report of Council Finance Committee Also Excorciate Fowler D. Jones and Commissioner Dunn Respectively The report of Finance Committee of the City Council which was presented on the 27th of last month, just now generally made known is resentful to Los Angeles citizens without regard to race, religion or creed in the highest degree, and as it unfolds its self the people are amazed that the council would for a moment he bickerings of such narrow contracted minds as presented in the persons of, Fowler D. Jones, of the efficiency department, when he said: "I can get all the women janitors we want for $70.00 per month, and all the men we want for $55.00 per month. In part this is enough for this class of work. He further said that the Building Owners and Managers Association of Los Angeles report to our department (efficiency Department) that colored help is only 75% efficient and if you use colored help you will have to increase your staff 25%. It is also said that Public Works Commissioner Dunn constantly objects to working mixed help and advocate all the spiton heavens and mop wellers be white. Shades of the night what are we coming to here in the fair city of Los Angeles. We world like to know if tax payers, citizen is, men and women are to discriminated against as a part of the program of a city of the magnitude or if it's Angeles? And just who is this Commissioner Dunn who is the Council to bow to isilly twaddle that workers in any part of the city fabric should be lily white. It is an issue foreign to Los Angeles and its officials who have heretofore proved themselves broad gauged and standing for the rights of the people without picking out any color. These men Thomas and Dunn should not occupy positions of consequence in this or any other city, north of Mason and Dixie line. They should hike back to the sticks in Mississippi or Georgia and feast to their hearts content on the regulation dish of Jim Crow. They say the colored worker is only 75% efficient. We hurl it back in their face as a gross misrepresentation. Our report from their very own commission finds the colored workers standing in efficiency a maximum 97% minimum 77% with an average of 87%. Why go to the hotel and apartment house owners, when you have their record before you, gained by competitive examination. The people appreciate the majority of the council will not stand for this injustice. We have been informed by members of the executive committee of the Federated Voters League that the proposition as passed will be reconsidered at an early date. Then again we find the City Charter provides that equal pay must be allowed for women and men. Way beyond the color line there is no occasion for such ridiculous and cheap wages for any of our city workers. The tax payers pay the bills and want the average, common every day man and woman to receive the wage to which they are entitled. Officers Hunting Caveman Find Chinese Lottery Joint While officer Rueben Scott and his vice squad were returning from their chase and capture of a woman abductor Friday night they observed an unusual number of customers entering a Chinese grocery store at 912 E. Jefferson St. for as late as 9:30 P. M. Surrounding the large building they found it to be just as they conjectured newly opened lottery joint with a large room full of people "playing PRESENTED TO PUBLIC YARISLON Mrs. C. W.

FORMER SLAVE PASSES AWAY New Orleans, La., Jan. 17--Mrs. Annie Scott, native of Monrovia, Africa, and a former slave, died at the Lafon Old Folks Home, Jan. 4th at the age of 103 years. She had been a resident of New Orleans for seventy years. The aged woman at times recalled much about the life of slavery days. She claimed that on several occasions she had seen Gen. Robert E. Lee, and on one occasion she shook hands with Abraham Lincoln when the family that owned her had taken her to hear him speak. the Chinaman." The proprietor was held for investigation and the evidence confiscated. Although the police are raging relentless war on Chinese lottery there are new ones constantly attempting to enter this incrative field of unlawful endeavor. --- Mrs. C. W.

N. P.) Louisville, Ky., Jan. 16.—Louisville has the distinction of having a large broom factory known as the Commercial Broom Works. Since its estab Hishment, it has been furnishing brooms for the Atlantic Pacific Tea Company's chain stores and for many of the big hotels. The Commercial Broom Works Company also operates a Gents and Ladies Furnishing Store near the center of the city known as The Commercial. Both of these establishments are under the efficient management of Mr. Joseph R. Ray, Cashier or the First Standard Bank. MAYOR BARS RANDOLPH FROM JACKSONVILLE New York, N. Y., Jan. 17, 1928.—When several citizens called on the Mayor of Jacksonville to inform him of the visit of A. Philip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and Editor of The Messenger Magazine, he answered them sharply saying, "I know all about it, but he isn't coming down here. I followed his record and know all Dr. G. W. Shields Passes To The Great Beyond M. about him and if he comes here to Jacksonville, "I'll put him in jail and anybody else who has anything to do with his meetings." With this presidential attitude on the part of the Mayor Jacksonville, the citizens informed Mr. Randolph of the attitude of the city administration toward him and advised that he should not visit Jacksonville at this time. It is believed by Mr. Randolph and the officials of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters that the local superintendent or the Pullman Company in Jacksonville, Mr. Cooper, was responsible for creating this issue and American attitude of the Mayor toward Randolph who is a native of Florida. It will be interesting to note in this Dr. G. W. Shields Passe DR. G. W. Dr. George W. Shields pastor of Douglass Temple Spiritualist Church located on East 21st St. between Naomi and Hooper Ave. after an illness of several months duration passed away at his home a few doors from the Temple on Tuesday evening at 9:50 P. M. The passing of Dr. Shields takes from our midst a unique character, who in his realm of effort has well filled his niche for accomplishments. He belonged to the unorthodox strain in religious effort while his doctrine was not generally accepted by the great masses, he accumulated a large and loyal following who worshipped at his shrine. They recognized him as their Lord and master. They obeyed his commands. Indeed his Temple was always crowded, and maintained to the highest degree. He used and controlled to the highest point of efficiency his membership in political campaigns for the men and measure which he thought was for the benefit connection, that only some eight months ago, Mr. Bennie Smith, Field Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters was hounded and harassed and persecuted in Jacksonville by the city police so that he was compelled to leave, the town. When a statement or Mr. Smith's case was made to the New York World, John Temple Graves, editor of the Jacksonville Journal, took issue with it in an editorial entitled NEW YORK PLEASE TAKE NOTICE. An attempt was made by the officials of Jacksonville to charge Bennie Smith with circulating inflammatory literature. The fact was, Mr. Smith was not circulating any such literature, for s To The Great Beyond SHIELDS of the people. He was at all times a staunch supporter and promoter of race enterprises. He was a friend to the needy and distressed, and this writer, although not one of his followers along religious lines can justify to his sincerity and genuine service for mankind. Dr. Shields who has been a resident of this state for more than 20 years, came here from Louisiana. He was formerly a Baptist Minister, in the early days he travelled extensively over the state and later organized and established the Spiritualist Church down near Santafe Ave. About two years ago he made a trip to Abysinia and it seems that ever since his return he has been on the decline. He leaves a wife and hosts of admirers and friends to mourn his loss. Funeral services will be held at Regalate Temple Saturday at 12 o'clock. Help BEFORE you assume the role of critic, be sure you know your "Onions." A WOMAN of another race came in a few days ago and had this to say: "I went to a Colored business establishment on the Avenue that had been highly recommended to me with the intention of placing an order, but the persons in charge seemed to have more time for play than for actual business, hence I, while I desire to transact my business among you, will be forced to seek someone who is serious enough to take care of it." NCBODY likes to do business with a grouch, but then on the other hand a serious business man or woman does not care to place his or her business with persons, it matters not how highly recommended they may be, who apparently are irresponsible and unreliable. A PHYSICIAN who examines a patient and discovers that she is suffering with a cancer advises the knife. As a group, we must learn the difference between destructive and constructive criticism. In a business way, we must submit ourselves to the knife of constructive criticism and be healed. Learn to work for our fellow race man just as we work for the white man. All dollars are the same color. Hence the dollar that is paid you for labor by a Black man is equal to the dollar paid you by a white man for the same or similar service. LAKES—young, middle age or old, —if you are in the market for a husband, remember that the U. S. mail will serve your purpose better than the telephone which is a part or the business where the object or your affection is employed. Business phones are for business strictly. Residence phones are for pleasure and pain. Sometimes the calls are pleasurably short, while others are pointily long. "BEGINNING Monday, January 23, the Law classes of Polytechnic Evening High School will enroll new students for the next semester." Remember—you are never too old to learn. --- ON January 14, nine of the largest women organizations assembled at Washington, D. C., to declare war on war. DR. Robert T. Hance, head of the Zoology Department of the University of Pittsburgh and connected with the Rockerfeller Institute for Medical Research, through the medium of X-ray has established the fact that black is white by turning a black mouse white. While this may seem paradoxical, nevertheless the fact that black is white is about to be established through other than the turning of a black mouse white. FOR a number of years, our Metropolitan newspapers not only tried to make us believe that Black men and henious crimes were synonymous, but actually created such country-wide sentiment, that white men blacked their faces in order to save their race, with regards to crime. But alas!--the age has produced a Hickman type, who has proven that WHITE is BLACK. Mrs. R. H. Herrin Meets Tragic Death Mrs. R. H. Herrin, wife of the well known Divine, Rev. R. H. Herrin on last Sunday was struck down by an automobile and succumbed from the injury received. The funeral was held from the A. M. E. Church in Pasadena on last Tuesday at 2 P. M. Great throngs of friends turned out to pay their last respects. The entire A. M. E. ministry was in attendance. Theeral offerings were profuse and beautiful. A great worker for the Church has passed and she held in the high priest all who knew her. PETER H. RAILROAD CLATTER BY Joe Rakestraw T. A. Sims, one of the faithful Pullman porters or this district, and a strong advocate of the Employees Representation plan, was taken to the General Hospital last week for an operation of a floating tumor. J. Montgomery, Near Death J. Montgomery, whose recent removal to the hospital was reported last week, is fast sinking toward the great beyond, his condition has taken a decided change for the worst. Representatives of the Sleeping Car Protheroom quoted President Coolidge after, calling on him at the White House as expressing the view that the Porters ought to be well paid. They had told him of their efforts to drop the tipping system in favor of a higher straight wage plan. Pullman Porter's Taboo Skyline If the Anglo-American Airship Company goes through with its proposed program, we will have Air Service between Europe and America. A 100 passenger Cloud Skimmer to operate between New York and London. This is another point for Pullman Porter's to protest about. It is bad enough to shine, a pair of boots, assist fat women in upper berths, assist the aisles of a Pullman car all night with a crying Sleeping Car Porters "George." Pullman over the Atlantic there is many a porter who will not want a run on the Main Line. You cannot convince a porter that the Gulf Stream is a road bed. No engineers would think of trying to cross the Hacjensack River when the drawbridge is open and there are at least fifty-seven Hackensack rivers in the ocean. Ever since the railroads started trying to catch up on their schedules the Atlantic has been considered the end of the line. And when a porter comes to the end of the line he is through work for the day, they may find 100 passengers who will loop the big lagon but when a porter travels he wants scenery. Trains Will Use Moffat Tunnel by February 1st. Report Trains are expected to be making their way through the six-mile long Moffat Tunnel in the Continental Divide by February 1st. Rails are now being laid through the long bore and a ventilating system is being installed that is capable of moving 300,000 cubic feet of air a-minute. Names of Pullman Cars The name of Col. Chas. A Lindenberg, set off in gold letters on the sides of a Pullman, is about the only exception known to the rule of the Pullman Company that names of the living shall at no time be placed on its cars. More than $600 Pullmans bear every sort of name are used in the naming of these cars. The common name of John Smith was used recently and around curiosity wanting to know who this John Smith was. Prefixes play an important part in the naming of Pullmans—there is also a Mount group, a Lake group and an Orange group, only one car bears the name of a Pullman Porter—Daniels—appears on one, his car was formerly known as the Siroco, Oscar Daniels who lost his life in an effort to save the company in eastern wrecked years ago, when rescuers found Daniels in the wreckage he refused first alld until a seven-year old girl had been given medical attention, he was dead when the searches returned to him. "Cascade Limited" Walter Passes Through City Mr. Walter H. Elippeau, waiter and pantryman operating on "The Cascade Limited" operating from Oakland, California to Portland, Oregon passed through the city Saturday en route to Phoenix, Arlona, where he was called by the sudden death of his mother during his short stay between trains he was the guest of the writer. The Clatter joins the bereaved son and daughter in this their sad hour of sorrow. U. P. Chef Known on "The Air" U. P. Chef Known on "The Air" When Joseph Thomas is not filling his culinary inclinations on the private car of President Carl Gray he is on the air as "Ukulele Joe." The handmade Ukulele used by Mr. Thomas is of his own make and the melodious music that pours from it has made him quite popular among the radio fans a book which he proudly displays bears the names of many notables. Mr. Thomas may be heard over station W. O. A. W. George Speaks in Protest on Using Name George Dunlay, Jr., secretary, and organizer for the Prevention of Calling Sleeping Car Porters "George." Told the seventeenth annual meeting of that body in Chicago yesterday that he had canvassed 100 sleeping cars and found only one porter whose name actually was George. Comment was made at this session on the placing of names of porters on a card same displayed in a conspicuous place. Time to Crab: When you think you are setting pretty on a particular line when some porter happens on the scene and proceeds to bump you off. Enough Said: Maid Ella Greer (Pachies) who has been operating on the "De Luce" transfers to "The Gold Coast." Modern Versions: "Porters should be seen and not heard. How can they help from being heard when an eastern lady dishes out two sunburned nickels in exchange for service rem ```markdown ``` The "Santa Fe Chief" has been arriving into Los Angeles for the past week in two and three sections, owing to the severe snow storms, back East the tourists have had a keen desire to rush to Southern California." The Golden State Limited and Los Angeles Limited have also been handling huge crowds. Arthur F. Nunn is doing his bit on "The Dapptight" this gives Arthur more time at home with Lil' Arthur and the Radio. Arthur is a Radio Fan but has yet he has not been successful in getting all the distant stations such as China and Alhambra. Hugh Henderson, one of our Santa Fe aces is all smiles now since his car is back in line, this gives Hugh more chance to be in "The Windy City" more he says Central Avenue is all right but "State Street" has more to offer. (I wonder just what does he mean.) Wm. Greer (Bill) was the recipient of a message bringing the sad news of his brother who resides in Omaha. This was indeed a shock to Bill as he had just had a phone conversation with him several days prior to his death. The Clatter joins the bereaved and relatives in this their sad hour of sorrow. Edward Bottoms, operating on line 303 is on an indefinite leave of absence (Just a little linen trouble). Crew on Diner 8022 "The Golden State Limited" are still holding the honors as a model crew. James Lawson (Known as Brother-In-Law) who it is said has more years in length of service on "The Los Angeles Limited" has returned back to this run after an absence of several months on "The Overland." H. Towils, operating on "The Continental Limited" who has been on a leave of absence has returned to his run making his first trip Monday. The Denver Rio Grand have broken all records in cutting its Dining Crews. Trains Three and Four have been cut to one cook, one waiter and Steward. UNION PACIFIC GOSSIP Since the reduction of one waiter on "The De Luxe" bumping has really been put into effect, Jim Boger who has been fourth man on 311 was about four days late on his schedule, he finally landed him a man and formed the swing crew of Upshaw, Boger .tnd Stevens. The new dishes that were ordered some few months ago will be received now soon and are reported to be placed on trains seven and eight. Maid M. J. C. Pickens who operates on "The Gold Coast" should be styled "The Milage Queen" for she broke all records in doubling the past four weeks, in fact every train on the Union Pacific that carried a Pullman car was covered by this little dame. When you see her carrying two bags now you need not ask the reason for the second one as it only contains time books. F. E. Lewis, Manager of Dining and Hotel Service is in the city accompanied by Mr. Chas, Littlefield, Purchasing Agent for the System equipment for the new hostelery which will open in the near future at Grand Canyon is being purchased. Mid-Winter Tours from Pocatello Idaho to Los Angeles will operate in three sections, two diners on each section, January 20th, this is indeed a blessing as it will be the means of giving employment to several extra porters and waiters that have been compelled to remain idle after reductions in forces were made.

Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 14.—Statements made by daily papers with reference to their connection with the Fraternal and Solvent Savings Bank which closed its doors fast Thursday, were branded as false and misleading by Dr. J. E. Walker, vice-president of the institution, and Bert M. Roddy, in statements to the Associated Negro Press representative here. Mr. Roddy, who recently returned to the city from a tour of southern states in the interests of the National Negro Business League, of which he is vice-president-at-large, declared that the statement that the bank held paper on him for a loan of $100,000 made seven years ago when he was operating a chain of grocery stores was erroneous. "There was no such item seven years ago," said Mr. Roddy, "and there is no such item now. The garbled report in a local daily paper, making this charge has been corrected by them." WALKER EXPLAINS CONNECTION Dr. J. E. Walker, vice-president, who was arrested immediately following the closing of the bank because he had withdrawn some $26,000 in mortgages and cash on the day before the bank examiners took charge of the bank, pointed out that he was not actively engaged at the bank, but held an honorary position, "I drew not one cent as salary from the bank," he said, "and have never been involved in or connected with any transaction of the bank." Concerning the withdrawal of the money from the bank, Dr. Walker said, "The Universal Life Insurance Company, or which I am president, was one of the largest depositors of the bank and during the fall season our cash deposit, on checking account, had accumulated to such an extent as to be larger than' would be approved by the State Insurance Company at the close of the year. I started early in December to get this money invested and our bank deposit invested. I preferred to make the investment in bonds. "When I approached the president of the bank about the matter he wanted me to buy mortgages from the bank so as not to make a heavy withdrawal in cash in view of the approaching Christmas withdrawals. I finally agreed to the purchase of the mortgages rather than injure the bank and made attempts to do so long before it was known that the bank was in trouble, but each time I went to the bank to complete the transaction, I met delay, the president saying the mortgages were deposited 'uptown', and would be ready the next day. Finally on December 28, I called on the president to get the transaction completed, and demanded that he get the mortgages or that I would withdraw the cash. I came back on the 29, and we went to a lawyer 'uptown' and the transaction was closed. "We would have had to reduce our cash balance before the close of the year, if the bank had been in the very best of condition, because the State Insurance Department does not look with favor upon any company carrying large reserves in cash, especially on a checking account that draws no interest." With reference to his arrest, the doctor declared: "Because this transaction; involving the twenty thousand dollars in mortgages, was closed on the last day the bank was open, the bank examiners took the view that the transaction was dishonest, because as vice-president of the bank, they supposed I knew it was going to close. It we had wanted to draw, in cash, our entire deposit, I had ample opportunity to do that, for the bank examiners had said on the previous Saturday that the bank would have to get more cash or it would not be permitted to open Tuesday." ANOTHER OFFICIAL ARRESTED Since the closing of the bank, things have been happening "thick and fast." E. J. Raspberry, teller of the bank, has been arrested, and according to officers, had admitted to a shortage of $5,000. The corps of clerks and ac- constituents are busy escaping over the books and the examiners announced that the shortage would amount to some quarter million dollars, according to local white dailies. The "altruatic" efforts of several groups of white people to protect the interests of the depositors, providing the Negroes use the money to purchase homes from them, have caused many to look askance at the statements made public and many others express the opinion that the propaganda circulated here is with the purpose of killing any further attempt of Negroes to establish a bank here. Co. Discriminates Against Milwaukee Physician (By: A. N. P.) Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 13.—A most fragrant and unwanted case of discrimination is alleged to have been disclosed here last week when a representative of the local branch of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company called upon Dr. P. J. Gilmer, a prominent colored physician, here, to withdraw an invitation which the doctor had received, "through mistake" to attend a dinner given by the company at the Pfister Hotel. The invitation was sent to Dr. Gilmer, as to other physicians who are policyholders, early in October. In the meantime, it is said, the officials learned that Dr. Gilmer was a Negro and sought to prevent him from attending the dinner. The company's representative informed the doctor that it was not the custom for Negroes to attend and that he might be embarrassed. Feeling certain that the agent did not represent the company's attitude in the matter, Dr. Gilmer wrote to the president of the third district and to the superinendent of he Milwaukee district. To date he has received no reply. This action which has been countenanced by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. It not sponsored, has aroused the tie of policyholders in the Negro race as well as prospective policyholders. These are pointing out that it is reported that the Negro applicants are forced to pay a higher rate than whites and to the company's policy of hiring no Negroes as agents or clerks.

Because the church is the mightiest agency on earth for the realization of human progress. P 2. The church is the efficient advocate and ally of every great reform of our day. 3. The church stands for the highest thinking and sacrificial doing. 4. The church presents the noblest ideals of life and points the way to their realization. Moore 5. The church is the supreme character making institution in the world, and is the only organization under the sun that is doing business exclusively for God. 6. The church is the avenue through which men and women walk up the heights to God. 7. Without the church, yourself, the community and the notion would soon lapse into barbarian. 8.

I gleaned the following information regarding it from Mr. Andrew J. Allen of Smith Drug Store, No. 2. The club is to be made up of the young men, either now engaged, or who are preparing themselves to enter the business or professional life. Their every effort will be to leave to posterity an heritage, everything possible or good, for the advancement of civilization. Is the average Junior Host Indoient for purposes of Social Duties? The club has arranged for various reasons. The main reason being that they do not know, or care not, that large numbers of people in the city and in town know how our club is functioning. When the average host, or hostess has arranged a Reception or Banquet, in some one's honor, her duties do not end; there she still owes to that person in whose she she encounters a distinguished friend, and the public of the town that he is so braved. in our city we have our share, apathy, when it comes to smart environments, but, who knows of a seventy some person who claims to have dweet in the high places from the city, who knows of huge bore of any conscience and I promise, we must give our townpeople the news, that they may proudly point to this and to that happening and readily quiet their knocks. Modern Chaperonage—Its Effect Op Society There are some ultra modernists among us. I say modernists because they are possessed with the idea that everything that is solid is old fashioned) who scott and say, when a teacher offered, 'Oh my, there goes the party!'. Well, with the proper kind of chaperonage there is not the necessity of such outcures. The polite matron, kind mother or gentle aunt, that accompanies little Miss on her social tours, should not be looked upon as a chaperonage there is not the opposite; she is there primarily to see that her ward is not illtreated or does not commit any social error. From observation, those young ladies who are chaperoned, seem not to be tied down at all, and are possessed with the best manners. Old and dignified ladies have had contact with each other for the first, having been brought together when they put at some party for the youngsters, as chaperons. Keep up the practice! M. A.

BEAUTY AND YOU BEAUTY AND YOU By SADIE NERO DAVIDSON Author of "Making Life Count" Be Beautiful Through Beauty Hints Of Paper THE SKIN Among the most common diseases of the skin are acne and eczema, one of which is known to be, and the other probably is, the result of the presence of a microbe on or in the skin. This microbe is a vegetable growth, although a very minute one, and like other noxious bacteria, it has been planted on and has begun to grow it is often difficult to dislodge it. Every farmer knows that it is easier to keep a field clean by constant care than to clear it after it has been once overgrown. It is the same with the skin. It is easier to keep the skin in health and once it has become firmly established. If it were generally understood that the presence of a few pimple constitute a true skin disease which if neglected will probably grow worse, fewer persons would suffer from the disfigurement of acne. The skin is one of the so called excretory organs, and it the other organs of the skin, no one can disproportion their work, properly, an undes proportion of the waste products of the body must be got rid of through the pores of the skin. The first thing necessary to keep the skin well: to maintain the health of the body by exercise, cleanliness, fresh air day and night, good food, (food) properly cooked, a sufficient amount of sleep and suitable clothing, in addition the skin itself should receive special attention in the way CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS FOR TRADE: 10 acres at Allensworth California for 4-door Ford Sedan. 1163 E. 34th St. (rear).

Leaving the banquet hall, the girls went across the street to the Hotel Figueirao where party was held. To Los Angeles and Miss Thelma B. Portier gave a reading, representing Los Angeles. All day Sunday was a busy day, beginning with breakfast in the Coffee Shop of Hotel Figueroa, followed by the taking of pictures in front of the hotel, after which the regular business of the conference was attended to.

RAL PARLORS SON & CO PARLORS & CO. ectors A. B. Karl P. Pfeiffer Pres. Conlidge Says Public Cannot Get Along Without Pullman Porters Washington, D. C., Jan. 10, 1928. In conference with President Carlson, Tuesday afternoon, January 10, in the White House a delegation, composed of A. Philip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Whitfield McKinley, W. H. Desverney, Assistant General Organizer, Boy Lancaster, Secretary-Treasurer and Peter Anthony, Washington Division Organizer, of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, they were told by the President that "The public cannot get along without the Pullman Porter and that the public and himself wish that the porter be well paid for the work he expressed the desire and hope that the railway management would grant the porters fair consideration. The President expressed his appreciation upon meeting the delegation after A. Philip Randolph, spokesman, made the following statement: Honorable President, in behalf of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters which represents the large majority of porters and maids in the Pullman service, we wish to express our pleasure with the opportunity of meeting you and acquainting you with our movement, its problems and aims. in 1925, in New York, the movement to organize the Pullman Porter was born. We are seeking a living wage according to American standards of health and decency, better working conditions, decent hours of work and the abolition of the tipping system which requires Pullman Porters to rely upon charity from the public in order to support their families. "On July 11th, 1927, the Brotherhood presented its case to the United States Mediation Board in Chicago. Mr. Edwin P. Morrow, mediator, recommended and urged that the Pullman Company arbitrate the dispute with our organization, according to the provisions of the Railway Labor Act which was signed by you. The Company flatly refused, thereby violating the intent and purpose of the Railway Labor Act which was enacted for the purpose of maintaining industrial peace in the transportation industry. "We have now raised our case before the Interstate Commerce Commission, and a hearing will be held thereon on January 21st. In the event we do not receive the desired and proper relief from this action, we shall call upon you to establish an emergency board upon the recommendation of the United States Mediation Board that an emergency exists in the Pullman service, so that an inquiry may be made into the whole dispute with a view to amicably and constructibly settling same. "May I say that the Brotherhood represents the principles and ideas of honesty, responsibility, industry and sobriety and courtesy on the part of the porters. We feel that they represent some of the most loyal employees of the Pullman Company and the nation. We wish to say that this movement has received the support of practically all of the outstanding national organizations among Negroes and it represents the most responsible porter and maids in the service. We wish for you to know these facts since you may be called upon to act in our case should an emergency arise." TO "GET" SANDINO BY: WM. PICKENS (For The Associated Negro Press) We have been boasting all over the front pages of our daily papers about the number of "direct hits" which the bombs of our War-planes were making on Sandino's men. And then, just as soon as Sandino's soldiers (or "bandits" a la New York Times) made one "direct hit" on a few of our marines, we yell like hell-fire and send off a great force of armed boats and men to seek out and destroy those infernal devils who have no respect for the lives or our soldiers who had been sent there on a harmless mission to kill Nicaraguans, especially of the Sandino crowd. The poor "simp" who wrote: "Right makes might" simply ought to have been in the insane asylum, just like the follow who put his coat on backwards. For it is plain that "might makes right!" See how much more of a crime it is for the weak to kill soldiers of the mighty than for the mighty to kill soldiers of the weak. Sandino is in his own country and would doubtless behave himself there so far as we are concerned, if we would let him alone. Our soldiers, on the other hand, are thousands of miles away from home, hunting Sandino, as if he were "big game." Lindbergh was just about to make a good impression for us in Latin America, when here comes our military outfit and spoils it all. It looks as if this Nicaraguan bomb was timed to explode under the Pan-American Congress in Havana, Cuba, and destroy it utterly. If Sandino did that, he is a smart fellow. We teach 32 master subjects including permanent waving and electrology A school of merit, and refinement. Courteous, artistic, efficient. Strictly modern equipment. MRS. ANNA GILLESPIE 2319 Central Los Angeles, Cal. President's Son Listens To Address By Wm. Pickens at Amherst Amherst, Mass., Jan. 9.—When the Chapel services were over, other students remarked how interested John Coolidge seemed to be in the remarks of Wm. Pickens, who delivered morning Chapel address, when he said: "History is chiefly racial and national propaganda,—begging the pardon of the history teachers. Anybody can tell that the American Negro did not write the histories used in American schools. The best key to the interpretation of any history is to find out the fellow who wrote it and investigate the crowd to which he belongs. The rest is easy." After Chapel services, Mr. Pickens held one hour or informal discussion, with questions and answers, with students and teachers in the college library. There are 10 colored students in Amherst College. They report an absolutely square deal from the teachers and the administration but naturally meet with some snobs among the students. Stole Penny; May Get Five Years Stole Penny; May Get Five Years New York, Jan. 13.—George Crawford, who was arrested on October 11, 1923, for picking the pocket of Cyril Lee*, and stealing a penny notebook, has been placed under arrest. It appears that Crawford was released on $2,500 to await the action of the grand jury. He fled and was arrested recently in Newark. He now faces a sentence of five years having pleaded guilty to an indictment on a charge of grand, larceny, Judge Frank F. Adel before whom he appeared, intimated that the sentence would be from five to ten years. SAVE MONEY SAVING Money is easy when you ride the Big Red Cars.

MATT SOLOMON There is a rumor prevalent among the society folk of Pasadena that Miss Fay Overr, the beautiful daughter of Mrs. Hattie Overr Johnson is soon to become the bride of Raymond Turner, the son of Mrs. Bertha Turner, the popular Pasadena Caterer. A most interesting meeting was held last Sunday under the auspices of the Junior Mission Society, when Mr. and Mrs. Frederickson, who were former Missionaries in Africa, 40 and 35 years respectively, spoke to a large audience telling of their experiences while in that land, which was most interesting and appreciable. They also sang a song in the African dialect. One other speaker of the afternoon was a young man from India who spoke at length of his conversion to the Christian religion which was most inspiring. Mrs. E. O. Solomon acted as Mistress of Ceremonies. Much credit should be given Mrs Etta Butler, president of the society for having obtained such interesting speakers. The choir under the direction of Capt. W. M. Reynolds furnished the music for the occasion which was well rendered. On Thursday the 19th the Federation of Women's club will hold their session in the Friendship Baptist Church to which the public is invited. The Euzelian Class of the Friend ship Baptist Church held their regular meeting at the residence of Mr. W. M. Harrison on last Monday night preparatory to carrying out some plans already arranged. J. B. Short is certainly playing the part of a wide awake president bringing to class new ideas at each meeting. Wm. Hicks is reported as being quite ill at his home on Glorietta street suffering from a relapse. Jack Barnett, who has been ill for several months is able to be out again. An organization known as the Girls Auxiliary is being organized in the First A. M. E. Church to interest those whose ages run from 14 years up. This movement is fostered by Miss Estelle Brownlee one of the bright lights among the young people of that church who has the initiative to put over big things and to this end she has solicited the co-operation of the many parents to assist her in this project. These girls will work in conjunction with the Mite Missionary Society with Mrs. Henderson as their matron whom the girls greatly appreciate. --- --- Rev, U. S. Robinson, Evangelist from Vancouver, will speak at the First A. M. E. Church next Sunday at the morning service. He is a good speaker and has a wonderful following. --- The Kansas Club of the Methodist Church is making extraordinary preparations for their Lincoln and Douglass Day banquet to be held in the Social Hall of the Church on the evening of February 13th. A wonderful program is being arranged with several good speakers. The wonderful work being done by Mrs. Sadie Wright in the local A. M. E. Church is certainly of no little mention. The effort she is putting forth to carry out her end of the church's program goes to show that she but needs the proper sort of encouragement. In the capacity of Christian Education she has a large field and is fully competent for the work before her. Speak thieves entered the hen house or Mrs. S. B. Strickland on Worcester a few nights ago and made away with a dozen or more of her fowls. Detectives were put to work on the case immediately after the report was made. The Eastern Star had a rousing meeting last Monday night when they initiated quite a bunch of men in their ranks. Judging from the number of men going upstairs there was quite a bit of goat riding. Mr. James Lowe who has been in the rubbish business for a number of years has disposed of the same to enter in other lines of endeavor. A new grocery store is being opened on West Mountain by one of our group and to show our race pride those living in that district should patronize it. At her beautiful home, $14 Manzanita Avenue on Thursday evening, January 5th. Mrs. Belle Lawson was hostess to the Corin B. Hicks Club.

BLYTHE NEWS The cotton picking season is fast winding up and quite a few of our people are looking for new homes. We thought when the Palo Verde Commercial Company secured the tract of land over at Phoenix, there would be plenty of acrage here for us. However, the past five years, have not offered such serious obstacles in securing land as the present year. Every year find it more difficult for the Colored farmer to get good land. Taxes are sky high; but the white people are buying and as a result the time when only land owner will farm here is not far distant. With millions of acres of arid land in this state, soil so fertile, and with a natural intake from a fairly dependable stream, Palo Verde Valley has come to stay. While land is priced low and can be had for one half of the back taxes, we may find ourselves sleeping over a golden opportunity. Mr. G. E. Emery, a noted farmer, returned home from the ranch to find Mrs. Emery and children gone. Upon investigating it was found that she had drawn $750.00 from the bank and headed for Riverside.

NEWEST EFFORT FOR TOE HOLD ON ECONOMIC SITUATION The Forum on last Sunday rested from its far fetched and hot air aerial attack on forlorn hopes long enough, to take up a real proposition for economic advancement. We verily believe if our various organizations and individuals will join with the churches to combat sin and join with all forces to better their economic status, they will get somewhere and get there at no far distant date. On last Sunday the Pymamid Co-operation Association presented a program which to our way of thinking, started the ball to rolling to this end as never before. The officers laid their cards upon the table and in a clear and concise manner demonstrated how easy the solution of this problem is if the people themselves will but will it. As the people have begun to think we look for a reaction which will give to this concern much to do and with the enrollment of its membership a practical demonstration as to their place in the economic world. This writer feels sympathetic and looks on the program of this cooperative movement with favor. We have long since appreciated the fact that the only way we can entrench our group in the real big business effort is to get busy our very selves, and as pointed out in these columns from time to time corral at least a portion of our very own business, which is awaiting the opportunity to remain in the circle. More power and more vision for the Pyramid Cooperative Association to the end that the black people may yet come into their own and provide ways and means for greater service and become a real factor in the economic fabric. COMMUNITY ASSETS Under the caption "Liabilities" in the fiscal report of cities and towns appear the amounts of their bonded indebtedness and unpaid bills. Bonds and bills are liabilities because they represent the public debt, but in a larger sense they may be the least of the community's liabilities. Municipal bonds are as representative of the assets of a community as of its liabilities. That is a self-evident fact to those who realize that municipalities can only issue bonds for permanent public improvements and that every $1,000 municipal bond stands for improvements costing $1,000. The bonds remain liabilities only until they have been redeemed, but improvements financed by those bonds remain permanent assets of the community. So it appears that a community may have other and more burdensome liabilities than municipal bonds. One such liability may be the absence of community co-operation and public spirit. Lack of civic pride constitutes another community liability. Liabilities of this character give the community nothing and deprive it of much. But community discord, civic slovenliness and public disinterestedness are redeemable liabilities. They cease to be a tax on the community when the public recognizes them as liabilities and undertakes to liquidate them. There is nothing co-operation cannot accomplish for the community. Communities everywhere are proving the accuracy of that statement. Life individuals, many towns and cities are saying that whatever they have ever desired has been given to them if they only desired it earnestly enough. Such desire is not, however, the kind that waits for providence to grant its wish. The many suffer for the transgressions of the few. This would be a plattitude if it were not that modernity has given it greater significance. The most common way the blameless many are made to expiate the wrongs of the few is through legislation. Things carried to excess invite prohibitory and restrictive legislation, although in moderation they would have escaped the lawmakers. But once they are embodied in the statutes the temperate are punished with the intemperate. It is conceivable that there would be no speed laws limiting the motorist on the straight, broad and untraveled highway to drive as slowly as the one on the winding, narrow and busy ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened EAGLE thoroughfare if a thoughtless few had exercised reasonable care.

THE NEW Court of the Stat and for the Count and to answer the within ten days at you of this Plume in the County of within thirty day where, and you are less you answer an It is a defect in the governmental system that it does not permit discrimination in favor of the petty offender. It is not recorded who declared that "a little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men." But whoever it was, he might with equal truth have observed that a great deal of nonsense is relished any time by most men. In business or pleasure, a laugh is as hungrily sought as anything else that may be on the program. The business of living is involved in so many worries and hardships that the most trivial nonsense helps to lighten the mind. Comedy lifts the heart and serves as a tonic for many ills; and that is the reason the public has hung upon the words of a serious-minded statesman. People love to lose themselves in nonsense. Their souls cry out for laughter. It is their antidote for sorrows and troubles. The greatest tragedies of the stage have produced some of the greatest comedy of all ties. Cicero was not indulging in satire when he reamrked, "There is nothing which can be spoken so absurd that it might not be spoken by someone of the philosophers." Did he not mean that there is sense in all nonsense? PHILIP RANOLPH REFUSED people of California want.

(Continued From Page One) he was only selling The Messenger Magazine, which has been sold in Jacksonville for the last ten years, during which time, as now, Mr. Randolph was its editor. The Mayor attempted to hide behind a smoke screen, says Randolph, in pretending that if the Brotherhood was affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, he would permit the General Organized to speak in Jacksonville. This is indeed a high-handed, autocratic attitude for a public official to take of so-called civilized city. Whether the Brotherhood is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor or not has nothing to do with me, an American citizen, exercising my civil and constitutional rights in speaking in Jacksonville or anywhere else in America, says Randolph. Or course, I would have gone on down to Jacksonville and spoken to the citizens if they had not disapproved of my coming because of the position of the Mayor. Randolph says that he wrote the Mayor a personal letter telling him of his proposed visit and requesting protection in view of his statement to the Negro citizens, and the former attitude of the police toward Bennie Smith, but he received no reply. He has placed the case in the hands of the American Civil Liberties Union and also referred it to Mr. William Green, president of the American Federation or Labor. Mr. Randolph believes that this case is not only a challenge to the Pullman Porters but to every red-blooded Negro with any pride of race as well as to every enlightened, fair-minded American citizen. Randolph was compelled to cancel his southern tour on account of the Jacksonville situation. He had planned to visit Atlanta and New Orleans for the first time. COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON Nothing of a particular interest: nothing startling in happenings of the week past. President Coolidge went to Cuba to tell the Latin Americans what a friend they have in their benevolent Uncle Samuel of the U. S. A. He travelled through the historic grounds of the Civil War and incidentally through the territory made famous by the murder of black folk. We wonder if any or the atrocities were recalled to his mind when traversing those States. We are an enough hope that a President trip will be marred by any untwoward exhibition of racial brutality. And the National Convention of the Democratic Party is consigned to the Democratic stronghold of Texas. Houston is thus put on the map. Texas is a fine State and our Aframerican brothers of that political "susan" will, no doubt, find a warm welcome. Now please don't misunderstand the "warm," for did not the United State Supreme Court decide that the Texas Aframerican had the privilege of voting the "Andrew Jackson" ticket at the primaries? The reason for the shift South is not quite clear. Does it make a gesture for Jim Reed of Missouri? Perhaps it is to allay the feelings of the "Dry South" against the nomination of a "moist" candidate from the North. At any rate it will tend to mobilize their feelings. Then, too, our returning Aframerican brethren of that political "suasion" can report to us how finely they were treated and how generously they were entertained, and that the report of racial antagonism in Texas is a canard. Taking the convention of democrats, with its colorful attachment, to Texas may have the beneficent effect which President Coolidge hopes to attain by his Cuba visit. The amusing political situation in California is that of the "Pollys" raking the State with a fine tooth comb for someone to pit against the candidate of Senator Hiram Johnson. They even got to the point of "seriously" considering Will Rogers, the humorist. Numerous names have been considered and dropped. Even the women have been scanned. Mrs. Mabel Wildebrant, the Portia of that contineat has been given the "once over." Likes or dislikes; personal grievances or other; this fact remains, Senator Johnson has stood for California and that is what the ```markdown ``` J. H. Friedlander, State Corporation Commissioner, says, that body has uncovered 141 stock frauds in South California. That fast growing section of our commonwealth is an inducement for the "get rich quick" gentlemen. Land frauds; oil frauds and several other frauds, are splendid baits for the unsophisticated who come here with golden dreams and the hope of "something for nothing. Many should be very thankful that the State provides such efficient means for their protection. It is rumored that the Democrat sponsors or some of our Aframerican office holder of the States South, like the rats in the sinking ship, have deserted them. Left them to go alone. They see the band-writing on the wall North, East and West, against the domination of the Southern Politician without a vote. The Race voters of the sections above the imaginary line have tired of being dictated to by the Pat Harrisons; Bleases; Georges; and Broussards, through their Emissaries—Howard, Cohen, Church, et al.

Re-Acton From Our Big Holiday Edition We are in receipt of many letters from various sections in high compliment of our recent Holiday Edition, a few of which we are re-producing that our readers will be informed that our efforts for progress are both noted and appreciated as well.—Editor. Toppeka, Kans., Jan. 6, 1928. California Eagle, Los Angeles, Calif. I wish to say to Mr. and Mrs. Bass, Editors of the California Eagle that when I received their Holiday Edition, I thought I was getting the Special number of a Los Angeles daily. It was certainly worth any one's time to read it and I read it from cover to cover. It gives such insight to the enterprise, ability, talent and progressiveness of the race citizens and the white people as well, that I almost felt that I had been transplanted to the shores of California when I finished reading it. It shows a great amount of painstaking work and effort on the part of all the staff. With best wishes for the New Year, I am, respectfully, STELLA MAE STOKES. [Editor's Note:--Miss Stokes is one of the shining lights of Kansas and holds a lucrative position as a clerk in the auditor's office of the State at Topeka, Kans.] FROM THE EAGLE, TULSA, OKLA. One of the creditable Holiday Editions issued by the group, was the one that Editor Bass of The Los Angeles, (Calif.) Eagle, gave the public, printed on high-class stock and profusely illustrated with cute of representative colored and bright illustrations. It is easily one or the most befitted by our people. We doff our hat to this able man and his accomplished wife. Such efforts are to be commended and we wish for The California Eagle continued success. ANOTHER: FROM THE GREAT SIERRA PAPER CO. December 13 1927. The California Eagle, 847 Central Avenue, Los Angeles, California. Attention: Mr. J. B. Bass, Managing Editor Gentlemen: We have, read with more than ordinary interest your Christmas Edition of the California Eagle. We do not hesitate to say that this is one of the best examples of what a newspaper should be that has been brought to our attention for some time. You have every reason to be proud of the result of your effort in getting up this special issue of your publication not only from the standpoint of the amount or advertising displayed and the actual printing job but more, perhaps, from the viewpoint of the reader who would doubtless find in your editorial matter an expression of his own thoughts and aspirations. We heartily congratulate you and those who worked with you in the building up or this splendid sheet. ANOTHER ONE FROM FORWARD CONTEMORARY WATCH NEW BATCH AGE DISPATCH We want to congratulate the publishers of the California Eagle for the most splendid Xmas Number which made its appearance this week. It is highly creditable and worthy of the highest praise. HERE IS ANOTHER FROM A VERY PROMINENT AND INFLUENTIAL WOMAN OF THE WHITE RACE Los Angeles, California, December 28, 1927 Mrs. Charlotte A. Bass, California Eagle, Los Angeles, California. Dear Mrs. Bang, I just want to express my appreciation of your Holiday Edition of the Eagle. It is surpassed by none. I wish that every person in our great city could and would read this particular number. It would prove to them, beyond all their prejudice and jealousy that the Negro has, as much as any other race, the desirable qualities that contribute so much to humanity and the world. I enjoyed every article in the paper and want to especially commend the Feature Section, edited by Fay Jackson, which, to my mind is just as good in every respect as anything any of our dailies have published. I am filing my copy of the paper with my most prized souvenirs and I hope I do not seem too enthusiastic, but I realize some of the difficulties under which your group labors and I believe in giving none where honor due, regardless of success, or not禄提. Much success to you and your splendid paper. ANOTHE ONE FROM FORWARD MOVING ORGANIZATION Los Angeles, California.

Shoes for every member of the family will be found here at prices that are really reduced. Shoes that are nationally known and advertised. Shoes that for years have earned the confidence of the public as honest values. The Wilson Shoe Co. in the few months they have been in the district have more than made good the nice things the Bulletin predicted of them when opened up, they have in this short time stamped themselves in the good judgment of the people of the community as a real shoe store where honest values, correct attire and conscientious service are assured. No one in the district can afford to No one in the district can afford to miss this mid-season sale. Police Cars Chase Kidnapper and Screaming Woman Central Avenue Crowds See Near Tragedy Just as the first show crowds were swarming along Central Avenue from the theatres a Chevrolet sedan dash into the traffic-laden street from Adams headed West. While piercing screams startled and attracted the attention of spectators, who saw a half through the open door strangling and kicking to free herself from the driver who was roughly jerking her back as he drove the recklessly careening car with his free hand. Thoughts of recent kidnapping tragedies, impells many to start in pursuit on foot, but the car quickly swerved out of sight. In response to frantic calls the night lieutenant, of Newton station accompanied by officer Davis and speeded in search of the vanished sedan. In the meantime officer Reuben Scott head of the Newton Vice squad had struck a hotter trail and run the obductor down at Friday, January 20, 1928 917 E. Jefferson. His name was learned to be Rober Perry of the above address and the woman was Mrs. Carrie Louise Hurd formerly of Monrovia but recently said to be living at 2720 Naqmi. Were Former Sweethearts Mrs. Hurd had alighted from her blue Nash Sedan and entered a residence on Haqper near 21st. While seated at a table with Geo. Game 1650 E. 23. Perry rushed in and forced her into his car as the alarmed diners looked on. helplessly Perry's explanation was that the woman former sweethearts and he was attempting force reconciliation when she became hysterical and began screaming. No charges are placed against the abductor as the woman refused to prosecute. Her car was held at police station for her claim. Political Pot Pie We are waiting as ever before to see just what the present State Administration proposed to do along the line of recognition for the colored voters which so valiantly gave its support to enable the present regime to overcome the Richardson machine. The Western Outlook published at San Francisco has a deal to say about the patronage situation and cites the two concessions on the waterfront at San Francisco. To our mind, however, this situation fails to figure, entirely so, as political recognition worthwhile for the group. By the grapevine route we hear of an important pilgrimage to San Francisco and Sacramento, wherein we are to be handed out some sort of recognition. Notwithstanding the fact that we have heard this very thing before, it is the very thing we are waiting to come to pass. Local politics at this time comes in for a deal of discussion. The District Attorney situation, the judgements and finally the legislation. We hear that the Hon. Chas. W. Lyons seeks higher honor and will enter into the race for District Attorney and the Hon. Dwight Hart will seek the seat now held by Senator Lyons. It is further revealed that Senator Joe Pedrotti will be a candidate to succeed himself. In the 33rd there are many rumors as to who will and who will not run in that district. C. H. Alston told the Pie man that his hat is in the ring and of course M. H. Broyles always tosses his hat in the center of the ring. Also it is said that a strong drife came forward for E. C. Jennings. On the heels of this comes the proposition that former Senator E. V. Lewis will enter into this contest. All say the more the merrier. The Presidential primaries it is predicted will be a tame affair as it is not to be presumed that anybody will contest Secretary Hoover as California's choice for president. There will be three members of the Board of Supervisors to be elected this year and it is said there will be contests for each place. This will no doubt tend to enliven the August Primaries to fever feet and as a result thereof a record vote is expected. All who read these lines should visualize upon the importance of getting all who are eligible to get their names on the great Register and qualify to vote in the primaries and election. This phase of the political situation is the most important of all. Miss Gladys Martenes ---Is Teacher Of--- PI A N O 991 E. 32nd HU. 4886-J THIS WEEK'S SPORTWORLD ACTIVITIES Cleveland Stars and Hilldale Giants Furnish Thrills for Fans With two wins and loss the Cleveland Stars are now side by each with the Hildale Giants on the top step of the Winter League. Joe Pirrone's All-Stars dropped a 5 to 3 decision to the Cleveland Colored Stars in their winter league baseball battle at the White Sox park Saturday afternoon. Lou Koupal was on the firing line for the closers. Shaw pitched for the winners and being particularly effective with men on the bases. The colored club was out hit 11 to 8. Stearns contributed another home run to his credit. Haney led the batting attack for the Pirrone club, with three hits to his credit. The score: Pirrone's All-Stars— AB H O A Murray, 2b. 5 1 5 0 Pirrone, cf. 5 2 0 0 Bodie, lf. 4 0 0 1 Sherlock, ss. 4 1 1 2 Haney, 3b. 4 2 1 1 Sayyer, 1b. 4 2 9 1 Avensino, rf. 4 1 2 0 Thomas, c. 3 1 0 0 Koupal, p. 4 0 5 0 Redmond, c. 1 1 0 0 | | AB | H | O | A | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Green, rf. | 4 | 0 | 2 | 0 | | Allen, 3b. | 4 | 5 | 5 | 0 | | Holloway, cf. | 4 | 1 | 2 | 0 | | Stearns, lf. | 4 | 2 | 1 | 0 | | Pullen, c. | 7 | 0 | 11 | 0 | | Motbel, 1b. | 4 | 2 | 1 | 3 | | Wells, ss. | 4 | 0 | 6 | 3 | | Day, 2b. | 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | Shaw, p. | 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | 36 | 8 | 27 | 6 | MARY THEILLS SUNDAY The games that you have heard of or read about fall into either insignificance when the story of last Sunday's contest is in ruined by those who were so fortunate as to be present on this occasion. The day was chilly and bleak, but when those two teams got het up everybody got warm and the day bloomed forth as in mid-summer season. A double-header was played and developed into a pitcher's battle between A. Cooper for the Cleveland Stars and S. Cooper for the Hildale Giants. A. Cooper by his masterly pitching shut out the Giants, while Pullen, Holloway and Day made three runs. Cooper had control to let and when men were on bases, hung up the "Nothing Doin'" sign, as he turned back the heavy hitters of the great Hildale team. In the second game Flournoy, chucking for the Hildale team, had the Indian sign on the Hildale sluggers and allowed no hits when danger threatened. He too pitched a masterly game against last Mon, for the Star as turned in a win for Hildale of 4 to 2. This score was held down by the Stars by the sensational fielding of Stearns and Holloway who made all sorts of catches in all parts of the outfield, no ball players ever showed greater class than these two teams on last Sunday. Solden indeed is it recorded that a triple play is excerted but on last Sunday that very thing happened in the 8th inning when the Stars were in the midst of a batting rally two players, hit safely occupied 1st and second base respectively. Allen at the bat hit a terrific liner to Dixon who threw to second to Mackay who threw to Carr at first retiring the slide. The score for the second game was as follows: Ace Hudkins Fights Dundee in N. Y. for Title Ace Hudkins will get his long wish for chance. He rights champion Joe Dundee in New York at Madison Square Garden in February. After the battle the new champion will return to Los Angeles for a short rest at his Observatory Drive home. Young Jack Thompson Did What Baker Could Not--K. O's. Johnny Adams in Fourth Round When papa Scipio related how he was going to send his boy Young Jack Thompson in to smash in Adams' mid section till he was ripe for a finisher to the jaw about the 5th or 6th it sounded good, but impossible with a boy like the San Berdoo "Mountain Lion." But he did just that and went it one better for he sent Johnny into dreamland in the 4th round. Jack looked and worked like a champion should work. Cool and careful he never wasted a punch, was seldom in a clinch but shot his hard rights and lefts to the body with terrific power from a distance but never missing his mark. Jack won every round although Johnny is no slouch and dangerous at all times. Each body blow served to slow Adams up and weaken his blows until as the 4th opened he shot a zipping right to Johnny's jaw, measured him and shot over another as he wobbled and fell into the ropes out on his feet. Jack then straightened up his chin with his left and shot in another hard right that dropped Adams like a potato sack. No use to count. The referee didn't and the crowd went will. Clyde Hudking, manager of Jack, has a busy program lined up for the season. Jack has beaten some of the best boys in the game. As a lightweight Thompson took care of such boys as Harry Kid Brown, Billy Alger, that Harley Feraci, King Tut and Jack Sliyer. He is now boxing at 140 to 143 pounds. Upper- Cuts & Blocks O-o-O-o-O ---By--- HARRY LEVETTE AS A REFEREE that a disgusted fight audience ever booed. If fans could be arrested for their thoughts three or four thousand would be guilty of murder every time that big baby stumbles around the ring mauling little boxers, giving rotten decisions and discriminating against colored boxers. THERE ARE several color blind referees here at that but he is one "alleged" referee that treats his own race almost as rotten as he does the colored boys. When Clisby broke his hand in the Pasadena battle with Killrain in spite of the doctor's report he had them both suspended for six months, and bawled out their managers for asking "how come?" MAYBE HE learned the fight game from Collier's Weekly stories or in a shoe-maker's shop. Some day, somebody going to throw something else beside programs, newspapers and cuss words. KEEP YOUR eye on Jack Thompson from now on out. With Clyde Hudkins as his pilot he will soon be at the top of the heap, will make coodes or money and will be improved in every way. His father, Scipio, who knows what it's all about, will watch out for the moral side and the pitfalls that open to ruin a fighter's health. Jack has champion stuff. AMATEURS ARE not allowed to occupy top spots in athletic games, no more are amateurs allowed to practice in the game of life. On the large dailies dozens of cub reporters glean in the fields of politics, music, stage, screen, science, business and the great world of sports for news to present to the cash customers who buy the sheet. But all the matter they gather from the highways and byways of life is thoroughly inspected, examined, weeded out or corrected and the result goes to the public. They may work years before their names are mentioned, although the department heads may be known, but they are doing their part quietly and unobtrusively without the demand for the empty honor of box-car letters, catering to a swollen egotism. Oscar (Snow-Flake) Wright Sings "Come and Let's Fight He's jet black and proud of it; came from Cape Town, South Africa, and proud of it; can fight and proud of it. They call him "Snow-Flake" but his name sounds like Pambo Kinobimbo, meaining Oscar Wright. Oscar just dropped off a Santa Fe flyer in from Chicago and in a high tenor voice as he jugged three armlonds of luggage he rattled off: "I'm a middleweight, 155 to 158 Come out to lick the best boys you got out here, yes sir! I'll do it, ha, ha, just like that, so easy! Fight? rather fight than eat, yes sir. Bring on your Auerbacks, Colimas, and what have you!" According to a check up Snow-Flake holds wins over some of the best boys in the country and has boxed Friedman Allentown, Joe Gans, Dave Shade and others. Ten days for acclamation and training, then he starts in to clean up the Coast or get cleaned. Trim Your Corns for L A. to N. Y. Foot-Race Although it is not certain at present how many representatives of Afro-America will be entries in the footrace which begins at Ascot Park here March 4 and ends at Yankee Stadium, May 10, there are pretty sure to be some in the big event. Fact is Negroes manage to take part in most everything in the world of sports.

(Ap.)—Tommy White is welterweight champion of Mexico for a second time. He recovered the title from David Velasco in a scheduled fifteen round fracas. Humbert J. Fugazy is building a monster arena in New York. The structure, which is intended to seat 30,000 spectators, twice the capacity of Madison Square Garden, will be finished within a year, he says. There will be room for boxing bouts, conventions, large dances and many other amusements. WITH THE WEEKLIES it is one of the several hardships that in order to get assistance in news gathering they frequently must accept contributions from the greenerest novice, without even an inking of journalistic knowledge or newspaper writing. The editorially or in the first person clogged with their own personal opinions, rather than an impersonal relation of facts. Then worst of all they abuse the kindness of the editors, and owners by using the pages or the industry-built publication for a battle ground to voice their narrow, personal spites, hatreds and dislikes, against individuals in controversies, which interest no one but themselves. DAVE SHARE Who took sick with a bad cold just when he was to fight Joe Anderson next Tuesday night. MONSTER FLORENCE MILLS BENEFIT BREAKS RECORD AT LINCOLN THEATRE Never in the history of Los Angeles has there been a public event to equal the Mid-Night Show given for the Florence Mill Memorial Benefit, Monday night last at the new Lincoln Theatre. Perhaps never again will the beautiful structure, house such a notable gathering of people representing all walks of life to receive the presentation of so great and varied a collection of artists from the cream of the theatrical world in a program that ran from the sublime to the comical. Long before 10:00 P. M. the extra cordon of police from the Newton Station was kept busy attempting to keep the crowd in bounds that filled sidewalk and street in front of the theatre and a line that stretched from 23rd to 25th street. With the opening of the dors the crowd made a concerted rush for the entrance but the admirable handling of the eager throng soon afforded entrance to as many as could be packed upstairs and down stairs. Great flood lights at the stage door marked the entrance for the stars from the down town theatre who gladly donated their high priced services in honor of the little brown girl who has passed in a greater glory of fame than has ever attended any former theatricti star, white or black. The success of the affair and the large sum paid to Bill "Bojangles" Robinson who inaugurated the local movement. $2,273 was the amount which he announced, had been raised up until the long program was two-thirds finished, and he continued adding more by the sale of the little singing "black birds" photos. A SCORE OF ACTS To have possibly witnessed all the acts which began with a short opening chorus by Doc Straine and company it would have been necessary to spend a while at each of the largest theatres in the city. On through to the end which was fittingly closed by an original song played and sung by Geo. Mosby, a farewell to Miss Mills. There were no two acts alike, and all were rendered with the very best efforts of the actors. MANAGER CARPENTIER DESERVES GREAT CREDIT From the first preparation for the big event until its fruition, Mr. Curtis Carpentier, manager of The Lincoln worked hand in hand with Mr. Robinson to make it a great success. The results of his efforts showed in the masterly handling of the many little details that went to make up such a night of lights. The proceeds have broken the record for any Benefit staged since the nation wide movement began to erect a memorial to Florence Mills, the recent day in N. Y. falling considerably below. Actors worked hard, ushers worked hard, all strove to do their bit. The audience with its large percentage of white persons sat in attention from 11:00 P. M. till 3:00 A. M. and roundly applauded the performers most of whom were white.

Yours Truly is an assistant and recently the names of Dorothy O'Neal, Susie Thorn ton, Helen Turner, Anna Collier, Maudine Simmons, Mildred Smith Juliaette Harris, Constance Phillips and other local girls have appeared in the scores of other papers in Michigan, New York, Florida and Washington.

Anusements ~ MOTION PICTURES ~ Drama Music DANCES ~ CONCERTS ~ DLAYS ~ COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES ~ CAFES ~ BEACHES- ANU DA THE BLACK SPORT WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF HAMILTON ART IN the last two months there has appeared at the San Bernardino Orange Belt Boxing Arena two black boys who have been anything but a credit to the boxing game and their race. Every black boy that is in the boxing game should realize that he has a mighty tough row to hoe. He either has to beat his opponent by a knock-out or score such a win over him that there is absolutely no room for a controversy of any kind. Also if he happens to be on the losing end he should take his punishment like a man. The two boys that are the cause for all of this cut and dried stuff are JAGAN, a heavyweight and LIGHTNIGHT DAVIS the high-tail-ed feather. Hogan was the first to appear. Nat got off to a good start, and he was winning handily when his foe got in a lucky punch and Hogan crawled into a shell and finally laid down flat. As long as he was winning everything was jam up but once the tide turned against him he lost all heart. Lightning Davis, that supposed-to-be wonderful featherweight from Central Avenue was matched with Baby Sal, the hard-hitting Mex. of San Bert'do, last Thursday night in 'Berdo, Davis was figured to give Sal a hard fight and the long end of the odds was laid on him. The first round started out K. O. Davis was going pretty. Second round Sal got in one of his rights to Lightning in jaw and down he went for the nine count, and from the sec- to the fifth Davis was down for the count of nine whether he was hit or not. The referee got tired of seeing him drop every time Sal started a punch, so he stopped it in the fifth canto. Straight goods from the shoulder, all I can call a boy like the two mentioned above is "yellow" and plenty of it. More news about Jimmy Black, the whirlwind feather of Tom Jones who is in the East now. Black fought the wind-up to the Bud Taylor-Babe Ruth battle in Chicago last week and won his fight hands down. K. O'ing Billy Murphy (white) in three rounds. Black is going like a million on this Eastern trip. When Jack Sharkey and Tom Heeney fought a draw the other night in N. Y. it sort or messed up Tex Rickard's choice for an opponent for Tunney this Summer. Sharkey was a favorite to beat Heeney, but the Australian fooled Jack and fought him to a standstill. Tex will have to show his hand now and match up either Godfrey and Dempsey or Godfrey, Heeny, or Sharkey to determine a logical contender for Gentleman Gene's crown. The Musician's Trail BY: CARL DITON (For the Associated Negro Press) NORTH CAROLINA—CORCORD Weeks having one or more holidays are rarely ever advantageous to a musician from a concert point of view. And so the week in which Thanksgiving day came me taking a holiday, too. I really did not need one though for with a daily good rest, some care in the matter of selecting foods, together with a little exercise, a musician with good, sound health will stand the most arduous concert tour. But let one of these prerequisites be neglected and the fitness of the body will be affected for work at once. Thanksgiving week found me in North Carolina, a state that appears to me to be from casual observation the most progressive state in the entire south. This may be attributed to two things: Education and Minev. North Carolina has pulled nup considerably. I have been informed, in educational standing of recent years as compared with other states, of our union, and then, too one or two of her industrial captains have been internationally successful and have turned great amounts of their earnings into the colleges and universities for educational expansion. And where there are education and money awakening along the line of music appreciation is sure to go hand in hand. So we may expect great things musically from North Carolina in the years to come if this is true. For many years I had hoped to pay a musical visit to Scotia. Seminary for young colded women situated in the little town of Concord, North Carolina. The day before last, Thanksgiving Day furnished me the opportunity Scotia is a modest little institution that has turned out some of our leading women race workers. It is one of the oldest of educational institutions for Negroes, and is now calling upon alumni throughout the country to contribute to a fund of several hundred thousands which is to be used to erect at least one new building for --- ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened the present main office has outlived its usefulness and has been condemned. I found the young ladies quite appreciative of my baritone program and the senior class made me feel quite welcome by coming forward in a body and shaking my hand at the conclusion of the concert. Thanksgiving Day was play-day, and I motored to Salisbury to see Livingstone College and Johnson C. Smith College vie with one another on the gridiron. The result has long since been broadcasted by the athletic columnists and need not be repeated here. But I could not refrain from observing the strides Negro-colleges have been making in athletics. There was a time when it was akla to extracting teeth to get a twenty-five cent admission fee. But the admission fee to this program was much lower, and there was rather an unknown quantity in that box office. There were people there from every surrounding county with automobiles galore. At one time students used to bring all sorts of pressure to bear on the college president to make a place for athletics. Now they are considered a great asset to a school. The day after Thanksgiving Day, I attended a very interesting operetta presented by a group of young women from the seminary and on the following day I started for the part of the stage in which I was to give my next week's concerts to the purpose of showing the field music does not always awaken the desired interest in concerts, says—Your Musician. COLLEGE FRAT HOLD INSTALLATION Alpha Phi Alpha, degree of all national collegiate deprenitions will hold a formal but public installation or officers next Sunday morning, January 22; 10 o'clock at Bethel A.

News Notes from L. A. Boy Scout Hdqtrs. "Five thousand Los Angeles boys want to be Boy Scouts and are denied that privilege of citizenship and outdoor training because there are not enough men who will be their Scout Masters," according to a bulletin issued by the Boy Scout Headquarters of Los Angeles. Scout Headquarters is announcing a late winter training course for Scout-masters and Boy Leaders to begin on January 11th at Patriotic Hall. This course is held evenings and is armed to qualify men of moral character and friendly to boys to be able to direct a troop of Scouts. There is no charge and no expense of any kind. "There are now more than 500 men in Scout service in Los Angeles," says the Scout bulletin, "and they are giving themselves the joy of spending one of their leisure time in being the tal of a grown man." The thousands of Scouts in the city who look on these leaders as their closest friends; but these are other thousands of boys, many of whom really need this broad training, who are being turned away because leaders cannot be supplied to make possible the organization of a troop." Appeal is being made to the American Legion, churches, fraternal organizations, luncheon clubs and especially to fathers to enroll in the midwinter training course. To every man who "graduates" will, if he so decides, be assigned a group or boys with whom he may become the intimate friend and guiding genius. "The dividends are immense," says the Scout appeal. A fourteen weeks course in Seacouting, one of the branches, of the Boy Scout organization, will start February 16 at the Naval Armory, 1664 South Los Angeles streets and be followed by four week-ends on the water, one trip including a voyage of activity aboard a battle ship. The course is for adults who, upon completion of the course and passing an examination by navy officers and yachtmen, will be graduated for service as Skippers of Seacout troops. Seascenting in Los Angeles has received much impetus with the assignment of space for this training by the Los Angeles Yacht Club, further facilities given by the Los Angeles Playground Department at Cabrillo Beach, the co-operation of navy officials and the interest of numerous shipbuilders and owners. The completion of negotiations now pending will give the Seascauses a large sized boat to be anchored in a month for 'Electric Ice' THE average cost for all electric refrigerators on Bureau lines is only 5 to 6 cents a day.

Carelessness of Dress on the Campuses BY: I. M. OBSERVER "Costly thy raiment as thy purse can but. Rich, but not gaudy. Personal appearance it is said, is a certain index to character in the average run of the individual. In this present day when the price of wearing apparel is so low, presentable clothing is not denied anyone because of class differences. One cannot easily be excused of the charge of carelessness or sloveniness of dress. Cleanliness is another virtue to be respected. However, the other day when we arrived at U. S. C. on a tour for information we immediately became aware of certain members of our group, students, who warranted some thought. The day was warm, one of these unusual January steamers but several of our conspicuous women students, freshmen too, with one exception, didn't seem to realize the interested scrutiny of their fellow white students who obviously wondered at their ability to wear those uncomfortable and spotty coats day in and day out. The men students were found to be a credit to any race; a pleasant realization after the previous encounter with the other sex. Girls are by nature supposed to be more careful as to neatness of appearance than boys, but these in this exceptional case should remember that the eyes of all are upon them and pay closer attention to this "to see ourselves as others see us."

SAM V. PANKEY IT WAS A 50-50 BREAK Two Chicago porters took dinner together in a restaurant. After dinner, the waiter brought the check. The two sat and talked for a couple of hours, after which, conversation failed and they merely smoked in silence. At one A. M., one of them got up and telephoned where he was stopping and told his landlady, "Don't sit up waiting to let me in, it looks like a deadlock." THE MONUMENT After my uncle passed away, the family wanted a monument erected over his grave and it was left to my brother to select the kind he thought was best. So he went to the monument maker and said: "I want something to commemorate my Uncle and make it the shape or a jug." When the family saw it, they asked why he had it made like that. My brother said: "Oh, just to let the spirit know what caused his death." This is what people from Arkansas do: Find a street car transfer and don't have to walk. Discover discarded newspapers on board park. Invited by friends to lunch, take a hand full of toothpicks when leaving restaurant. Walk five times past a demonstrator handing out free postcards. Read the weekly news from the Eagle Window. Get a big laugh in the barber shop about Dos Straine's and Bilo's jokes to keep from praying to go to the Lincoln. SOME FIGHTER I have seen the greatest fighters that ever lived, such men as Johnson, Gans, Walcott, Langford, Dixon, Dempsey and a score of others. They made a living beating men before the public. But there is a musician right in this city that has those fellows beat a mile. He puts his mother-in-law's picture on his drums and beats it for a living in public. THEY WANTED THE REFEREE Charley fought Long but finished Short. When leaving the Olympic arena Tuesday night, I saw a dissatisfied crowd standing on the corner and one of them asked the officer: "Can you tell me which is the referee's car?" "Yes," said the officer, "you'll find one along there with the engine running." SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO When my Aunt made a visit to California, I took her out to the ball game. After the game, we went to the restaurant for dinner and to my surprise, she order boiled eggs and told the waiter to leave them in the shell as she wanted to open them herself. Upon trying to open them, in some way she dropped one, so she called the waiter and said: "I dropped one of those eggs on the floor, what must I do about it?" The waiter said: "Just cackle!" IT MADE HIM THINK Dig hearted Tom was dressing to get off his run after three days away from his family and was singing that old favorite song, "I wonder who's kissing her now?" when someone from the other end of the car laughed and said, "What—does—it—mat—ter!" "Judge your honor, this man is arrested for disturbing the peace and being drunk." "Judge, can I have something to say?" "Yes, what is it?" "This officer is inhuman to make such a statement. I am not the bloody butcher as Nero or as wise as Emerson who said, "If a man is not a man, for that purpose is he a man at all;" as dissipated as McKay, or as dangerous. "That will do, 30 days. And officer, take those names and run them in, they are as bad as he is." THE DIFFERENCE When a single man drinks too much, he can go home and sleep in peace. But when a married man gets home after having a few drinks, he must sleep in argument. A little lady had just purchased a postage stamp at a substation. "Must I stick it on myself?" she asked.

When the car starts to skid on a wet or otherwise slippery pavement, the brakes should be released immediately, according to the National Automobile Club. Driving a closed car at night with the rear curtains pulled down is prohibited by the new motor vehicle laws in Pennsylvania, according to the National Automobile Club. There are 2,500,000 miles of unsurfaced highways in the United States. Motor vehicle registration in California for 1927 showed a gain of 114,511 over 1926, according to the National Automobile Club. Canadian motor car output during October, 1927, was 7,791 cars. An automobile in Paris is decorated with 8,000 lizard skins from Java. Plans for the construction of a $70,000,000 motor bus terminal building are being considered by a Philadelphia transportation company. World registration of motor vehicles is now estimated at $23,900,000, according to the Statistical Bureau of the National Automobile Club.

One-Day Motor Trip Offers Many Sights A very interesting one-day motor trip from Los Angeles is the one over the Foothill Blvd. through San Bernardino, Redlands, Riverside and return via the Valley Boulevard through Pomona, El Monte, etc., according to the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club. This trip is suggested for those who have a limited amount of time and wish to see as many interesting places as possible. From Los Angeles the route leads over Mission Road through the city of Pasadena, noted for its beautiful homes, past the picturesque ranch of the late "Lucky Baldwin," and through the beautiful communities of Arcadia, Monrovia, Glendora, and Upland, and bordering on the scenic Sierra Madre range of mountains. From San Bernardino a short side trip of interest is the one to Arrowhead Hot Springs, just a few short miles from the heart of the city. Redlands, located in the heart or the orange shipping district is a very attractive city of many beautiful homes. The next point of interest is Riverside, made famous by the picturesque Glenwood Mission Inn and Mount Rubidoux where thousands of pilgrims gather yearly for the Sunrise Easter Services. Practically the entire trip thus far is through miles of bearing orange groves with numerous packing houses along the way where this golden fruit is prepared for market. From Riverside the route lies through miles of grape vineyards to Cataria, famous for its unique boulevard, Euclid Avenue, which is 200 feet wide, and extends from the foot of Mt. Baldy, a distance of seven miles, and is shaded in its entire length with willowy pepper trees. Pomona is the next point of interest. A visit to 60-acre Ganesha Park with its open-air Greek Theatre and many other interesting features is well worth while. Puente is next visited, an important walnut growing and shipping point in the rich San Gabriel Valley. From Puente the Valley Blvd. is followed past the famous Gay's Lion Farm where many lions are raised and trained for the motion picture industry. El Monte is the next community and from that point into Los Angeles the highway is dotted with residences for fourteen miles.

This admonition has gone forth from the State Division of Motor Vehicles to the thousands of California motorists who have not yet purchased their 1928 license plates. In a statement made public through the National Automobile Club's touring bureau, it is pointed out that the license period will positively end at midnight on January 31, and that thereafter 100 per cent penalty will be exacted. “There is yet time,” says the vehicle division, “for motor vehicle owners to get their new plates, but the time is growing shorter. Midnight on January 31 is the zero hour, for after that there will be a penalty. “Now is the time for the thrifty to get their license plates at the stipulated $3 per set. After mid-night on January 31, however,—and that does not mean one minute after midnight—they must pay an additional $3 to get the plates.” Isn't it worth while, asks the Touring Bureau of the club, to save this $3 while there is yet time? The bureau is prepared to handle the rush that will undoubtedly ensue on the night of January 31 and will handle all comers. The minute the clock strikes midnight the bureau will have to begin adding $3 penalty in obedience to the mandate of the state law. There cannot be any exceptions, the bureau points out. Therefore, now is the accepted time to get those license plates, continues the club bureau. Motor buses have been bought by various county school boards in Texas to carry pupils to the high schools in the larger towns and cities in each county, according to a report received by the National Automobile Club. Under a new law in that State, every child who has completed grammar school work and cannot receive high school instruction in the home district is entitled to free tuition in a high school elsewhere in this county. BY: E. ISABELL YOUNG. (For the Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 18. It takes more than a single failure or even the loss of faith in men high in positions of public trust, to destroy the confidence of colored people in the ultimate success of their radial institutions. No better example of their spirit can be exemplified than the attitude of Memphis folk, now that the first shock of the Solvent debacle has passed. That was an eventful morning, December 29th last. Early morning arrivals to do business at the bank were confronted with the examiner's sign. Closed for Liquidation! First reports gave as reasons for the crash, mis management, then "street talk," which had caused a run, draining the institution of its cash, but later disclosures of confessions of embezzlement and defalcations on the part of some of its heads, almost paralyzed Memphis citizens with surprise. So steadfast was their faith that many depositors refused to believe the morning paper's glaring announcement, "Memphis only Negro Bank Closes Doors." The news spread like wildfire. Louis screams and shouts were heard from women and children in various communities who had set aside their small earnings, the result of many days of toil and sacrifice. "I've lost every cent I had," "I got a tip but I couldn't believe it," "Did the crash get you?" ran the comments and questions. The entire downtown colored business operation was thrown out of commission. To just what extent Negro business is affected is hard to estimate and yet above all is a dominate note of fortitude. Wailing has given way to new hope and courage and already the populace is gliding on its armour in a new fight to regain for the community its economic strength, and prestige. HARRY PACE GIVES VIEWS Perhaps no clearer and succinct view of the situation has been expressed than that of Harry H. Pace, former Memphian and financial leader here. "This calamity," said Mr. Pace, "as great as it appears, is small in comparison with what is happening around us every day in the other race and which we ourselves are affected, but which does not retard the progress of the white race. There is a definite reason why this failure will do harm to the 'entire country. That is because we nationalize our local institutions too much. When anything happens to one of them, it becomes a national calamity instead of a local misfortune." "Our very biggest banks are so wefully small—compared with the average community bank throughout the country—that it seems a pity that they can have so far-reaching weight and effect on any racial struggle. I have seen the failure of other banks in Memphis, with five or six times the resources of the Solvent. That were scarcely thought about outside of the Memphis territory. On one occasion, a white bank with which the Solvent did business, namely, the Mercantile Bank, closed its doors upon discovery that the president had embezzled or a million dollars. No jury could be found in Shelby County who would convict him, although he was professed. He went free until an ambitious United States bank found that he had sent a statement through the mall, and he was arrested for using the United States mails in the furtherance of fraud and tried and convicted in the Federal Court; served his term in Atlanta, amounting to about three years and came back to Memphis among his friends. That story is not generally known, but it is almost a parallel case with the present condition. The difference being, that it did not shatter confidence nor disrupt business conditions, nor create any excitement outside of the immediate locality. "On another occasion, the Memphis Savings Bank, the largest savings bank in the city, which had the accounts of 90% of the Negroes who had a bank account, failed through the speculation of the bank in sugar plantations in Cuba, and which resulted in almost a complete loss to the depositors. You rarely hear a Negro mention that failure in Memphis, although it occurred less than twenty years ago. But they will be talking about this Solvent failure, even though it should re-organize and even though everybody should be paid off in full, for a period much longer than twenty years. It will also mean that they will lose confidence in all Negro banks because two Negro bank officers, who enjoy a rather doubtful distinction of their kind, rob a bank over which they presided. "It seems apparent, too, that the Solvent itself, if this consolidation had not taken place, would have stood through the wreck of the Fraternal as it has stood through so many other capacities. But evidently its officers were illadvised and took over the Fraternal before they knew what the actual condition was. Both of the men involved were men who came in Tires, Tubes, Accessories, Battery & Ignition, Washing, Polishing, Greasing, Repairing If You Have Trouble With Your Car, —Call— Arrowhead Super-Service Station JOHN MELEK Cor.

Central Ave. Los Angeles to the consolidation from the Fraternal and the Solvent men were not to blame. While the failure has brought the Memphis citizens shame and sorrow, there will be no lack of support for the efforts being made to re-establish the bank, nor lack of confidence in the possibility of finding men of integrity who will make competent heads for the new institution. Expose of Flood Relief Terror Continued in February Crisis The February CRISIS continues the revelations as (o) the treatment of Negroes during the flood by the Red Cross and the National Guard. It is proven that in order to get the co-operation of the planters "the Red Cross made an agreement with them, pledging themselves to return the tenants to the plantations from which they came. By this agreement the Red Cross assumed the responsibility not only of caring for the tenants during the period or emergency relief, but of protecting plantation owners against labor agents and of persuading and coercing those tenants who did not wish to return to their plantations. Miss Wagner who was in charge of work in the refugee camp at Natchez told me of this agreement and I had the same statement from Miss Pauline Marshall who was in charge at Vicksburg. The arrangement could hardly have been carried out, however, without the hearty cooperation of the National Guard. The Guardsmen, under the direction of the Red Cross, were in charge of the refugee camps in most places, with police and sentry duty. No one was allowed to enter of leave camp without a pass, except at the discretion of the Captain in charge. By these means (as previously reported) the refugees were prevented from leaving without the approval of the Red Cross and labor agents were kept from making contracts with them." There is also the annual summary of football in Negro colleges and the All Negro American team is named. The three leading football teams were Tuskegee, Oklahoma and Bluefield. There is a not concerning the late Major Appleton of the 92nd Division of the A. E. F., who was one of the few white officers who dared to eat and associate with colored officers. An article on Marcus Garvey proves that the N. A. A. C. P. has always treated him with fairness and was not responsible for his jail sentence and deportation. (By: A. N. P.) Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 18. The strenuous attempts to secure a pardon for William P. Hall, 46-year-old white southerner, who was convicted and sentenced to the state penitentiary eight months ago for an attack on sixteen year old Mary Jones, colored servant in his family, have failed. The pardon board after hearing the numerous appeals made on the prisoner's behalf by white friends and Amanda Akers, his former home, refused to commute his sentence, and he was led back to his cell. Led by Miss W. Gertrude Brown, head resident of Phyllis Wheatley House, practically every racial and civic agency in Minneapolis and St. Paul, both white and colored, joined in petitions, telegrams, and letters to the pardon board asking that Hall be denied his freedo. The case which aroused national interest came to an end last May, when Hall who had brought Mary Jones, an illiterate young colored girl, from her home in the rural section of Georgia to St. Paul to serve as maid of all work at no salary in his family was convicted of attacking her. Even after his wife and children had gone back to Georgia, he continued to visit the girl and when arrested contended that she was or age. Miss Brown went all the way to Georgia to find the child's relatives, who proved her a minor, and Hall was convicted. The N. A. A. C.P., the American Legion, Y. M. C.A., Y. W. C. A. and many other organizations regardless of race have interested themselves in the case. FEDERAL AGENTS KILL NEGRO (By: A. N. P.) Marion, Ark; Jan, 16—Federal Agents Charles F. Cooley and S. W. Wilson, shot and killed Lee Prudence here Friday night when they raided a still at which Prudence was one of five attendants. The still was in operation when the government officers arrived and standing around it were four other Negroes and one white man, all of whom ran at the approach of the officers. When the fleeing moonshiners were ordered to halt and kept running, the dry agents shot Prudence, killing him instantly. While the officers expressed the belief that the still was owned by the white man, at the inquest, neither explained just why both of them fired at Prudence instead of the supposed owner. The coroner rendered a verdict of death while resisting arrest.
