Dr. Baumann's Father Dead 1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 Fire Dept. Captain Dismissed VOLUME 41 With the dismissal of Capt. G. W. Walker of Engine House No. 30, of the L. A. Fire Department this week and charis, which have C. Edwards of the same station on the suspended list; it took the house cleaning is going on in the department. The charge upon which Captain Walker has been dismissed is his failure to meet his obligations as a citizen. We are told the charge pending against Mr. Edwards is along the same line. While there has been gossip that women hanging around the station waiting for Captain Walker had something to do with his dismissal, we are informed by the secretary to Chief Scott that while such an offense was sufficient for dismissal, that this feature did not enter in the decision at this time. The case of Fireman Edwards comes up for final hearing during the coming week. Capt. Walker has seen years of service in the department and only lacked two years of being eligible for retirement. He received a wage of $250 per month. Fireman Edwards, who is an automotive Fireman, draws down $25.00 per month.

Owens, eminent divine and veteran of the civil war, passed away at the home of Mrs. Ella Braxton on last Sunday. Funeral services over the body were held at the undertaking parlor of Smith and Williams Thursday morning. The body will lie in their morgue until Tuesday next, when it will be shipped to Kansas City, Kans., the home of the deceased where the final rites will be performed. In the passing of Rev. Owens the race loses a notable character. He has for more than 50 years stood in the front tanks battling for the things which meant so much for the progress of the race. He was a veteran of the civil war, and gave a good account of himself in Missouri and Kansas during the tense days of slavery. He was one of the outstanding preachers of the A. M. E. connection and served valiantly and well, in every field of effort for religious uplift. Of late years Rev. Owens has seen fit to spend the winter months in California where he made his home with Mrs. Ella Braxton, friends of years' standing. Mrs. T. A. Cole will tell of her European travels at Bede Eden Baptist Church Corner of 27th and Paloma Streets Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. The public is cordially invited to attend. The funeral of Dr. G. W. Shields held at Douglass Temple on last Saturday, proved to be one of the outstanding events of the last decade. The building was garro too small to evoke to accommodate the people no task on for the occasion. The whole block between Naomi and laurent avenue on 21st street was occupied by persons desirous of hearing the service. Many came, looked and saw hotless was the task of getting anywhere near the service and left. While the major crowd stood its ground throughout the hours occupied in the service, and to get a view of the remains of the fallen chieftain. After the service for more than an hour a line of march passed by the flower ladder bronze casket viewing the remains. Those in charge looks about and at that time viewing the endless line or humanity gave the impossible task of permitting every one who desired to see the pastor, order the casket closed in order to reach the cemetery before dark. Three were hundreds who in this manner were dull the opportunity of a garewell look at the distinguished prophet of Spiritualism. The unused service proper started at 12 o'clock and lasted until 3:30 P. M. Countless floral offerings of all sorts and designs were apparent everywhere. The huge bronze casket was almost hidden in a bank or roses. The service proper was a typical Douglass Temple service to one who had attended this service, it would seem just the same as if Dr. Shields was there directing, the same. They sing at Hobbs Temple with a vim and songs that the listener catches every word. Douglas Temple has always been a reservoir of real, genuine enthusiasm which demonstrates they believe every word of their fifth, it is expressed in song and preachment. Last Saturday was no exception. Every person on the arranged program, performed their bit in complete harmony as it should be for the occasion. People of all faiths and beliefs were there. Some came as curiosity seekers. Some to indeed pay their last respects to Dr. Shields as a man, without any thought of his religious preachment. Judges of the courts were there legislators and in fact persons from all walks of life. Judge Hugh J. Crawford, in speaking, declared that he was proud to have the opportunity of being present, and to say that he was also a friend of Dr. Shields. There were others, too numerous to mention, who in the same category paid silent tribute to the great unorthodox preacher. Mrs. A. E. Walker, as mistress of ceremonies, presented the program in a faultless manner and everything was carried out with masterly precision. Dr. J. D. Gordon, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, a friend of Dr. Shields for quite a quarter of a century, prescribed the funeral sermon. Although not of the same faith, he grasped the situation and delivered a sermon which was a masterpiece of logic, eloquence and forceful to the highest degree. Cooperate With Police We have been requested by the police department of Newton Street stationu t ask our readers for the fullest co-operation to enable them to rid the various neighborhoods of petty burglaries and other crimes. For instance in the territory from 22nd Street to 48th, in the past two weeks more than a score of burglaries have been committed. These have been committed by the same person who poses as a peddler, knocking at doors, finding no one at home, proceeds to commit burglary, and so far has gotten away. Many persons have seen this man, the police at Newton Street requests you to phone in when suspicious characters appear in the neighborhood. They will do the rest. Here is the description of the neighborhood burglar, wanted very much at this time, Medium brown skin; 39 years age, weight 160, 5 feet 5 inches, wears dark suit, grey can. M. No musician has attracted more favorable attention in recent years than the popular Miss Melba Allen, who will appear in Recital Extraordinary at the Peoples Independent Church, Corner of 18th and Paloma, Tuesday evening, January 31, 1928. Miss Allen is a recent graduate of the Chicago College of Music and while there received many honors. She won a scholarship each year she attended, and was the recipient of two medals, the President's Gold Medal and the Dean Rubuy Medal. Her recitals given both in and outside of the college evoked very favorable comments from the leading critics. She has thrilled many audiences throughout the middlewest with her superb technique as a pianist. She possesses a contralto voice unusual in its range, richness and melody. Every lover of music should avail herself and himself of the opportunity to hear this incomparable musician upon this occasion. CityCouncil Reconsiders Salary Ordinance To Give Living Wage The article in our last week's issue which called attention to the genuine dissatisfaction by the citizens in general in regard to the ordinance proposed giving to workers in the new City Hall, a wage which could not be justified as a living wage, it seems to have brought some things to pass. We are therefore pleased to note when the members of our City Council had the matter put up to them as it was, they very promptly sensed the injustice wrought and immediately acted to adjust the same. Efficiency director Jones, and Commissioner Dunn notwithstanding. Here is what happened: The Eagle article was freely distributed in the Council Chamber. It was read at Sunday's Forum; committee was appointed to appear before the Finance Committee on Monday. The Federated Voters League, likewise appointed a committee. All of whom appeared before the Finance Committee and stated their case. After hearing both sides the committee recommended that the janitor force receive a wage from $100 to $115; janitresses $5 to $110. Elevator operators from $100 to $125, and other positions in proportion. The proposed salary of city manager was cut from the proposed $400 per month to range from $250 to $300 per month. To our way of thinking this is a tremendous victory in which all agencies which helped to bring it to pass can share. There was also another committee from another organization present at the hearing last Monday and contributed its mite. The committee representing the L. A. Forum consisted of J. B. Bass, R. G. Lamar, Mrs. M. G. Patton, and Mrs. Ferier. The same Committee also represented the Federated Voters League The Hotel and Apartment House owners had a powerful committee, protesting any advance in salary for this class of help. The chairman declared they represented $470,000,000 and that even $65 which they paid the workers was sufficient. In a stinging reply by the editor of this paper, the Hotel and Apartment House owners were put on the defensive color line. But it did not work for one moment. Mr. Albers, Hall and Randall composing the Finance Committee, advised by Asst. City Attorney Whitehead, are real men safeguarding and looking after the interests of all the citizens regardless of race, color or creed. Judge J. C. Baumann, Historic Figure, Passes WAS FATHER OF DR. ALBERT BAUMANN At the ripe old age of four-score years, Judge J. C. Baumann passed January 25th at the home or his son, Dr. Albert Baumann, owner of the Baumann Drug Stores. His passing marks the close of one of the most colorful careers in the political history of Louisiana, the home of the Baumanns. Born on a U. S. vessel returning here in 1848, he grew up in ATTORNEY CHARLES H. ALSTON ENTERS THE RACE FOR THE ASSEMBLY FROM THE 73RD ASSEMBLY DISTRICT THE BROOKLYN PRESS TO MY MANY FRIENDS AND THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL: In answer to the many urgent requests from my friends, asking me to make the run for the Assembly from the 73rd Assembly District, I desire to state that I have for more than eight weeks given the request most serious thought and careful consideration. I realize full well the great responsibility of the office; the sacrifice of money, time and labor, that will be entailed in filling that position. But I must further consider, that the citizens of Los Angeles, have been exceedingly kind to me, I have at all times received my full share of their patronage in my business, that has been the means of making it the success that I have enjoyed, I have been honored from time to time in their Civic, Fraternal, Political, Religious, Social and other public affairs; I feel that I owe a debt of lasting gratitude to them for past considerations, and for those and other reasons it is hard to deny any public duty that might be theirs to demand of me. I realize full well what the next session of the Legislature of California will mean to us, and to all the citizens of California alike; the time is now at hand, we must take our proper place in all the affairs of Government. We must demand, and accept of nothing less, except full and equal rights as American citizens, regardless to race, creed or color, the time is now for action and every man is called to duty. Therefore if my services are demanded at this time, I feel that I would not be worthy of the rights of citizenship should I shrink from duty. Should you feel that I am worthy to serve you, and care to vote for me, I have but one promise to make and that is a public promise to serve all the people to the very best of my ability. If I go to the Assembly, I will go there unhampered, unpledged, wearing no man's collar, or take orders from big political bosses, or clieques, or ever stand in fear to do my duty as God would have me see it for the right of all the people, both Black and White, Jew or Gentile, Rich or Poor, special favors to none, and Justice to all. Therefore Fellow Citizens I gladly accept of the call, and do hereby announce, that I will be a candidate for the Assembly from the 73rd Assembly District, at the coming Primary election to be held in August, 1928, AS A REPUBLIADAN.

Besides being city judge of Kenner and delegate to many republican national conventions he held the imprisonment of the mayor of the City of New Orleans. He accumulated a large fortune, during his younger days and spent the last 8 years of his life at the home of his son, Albert. Sixteen great grand children and 8 children, besides his many friends mourn the passing of this venerable man. He was a member of St. Philip's Episcopal Church.

ALSTON, 2802 Central Ave. Los Angeles, California, HUmbolt 1174 On The Sidewalk By: C.A. B. ANY criticism offered in "On The Showwalk" is meant to be kindly in every respect. REV. T. J. SIMPSON, pastor of the W. Washington street Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis, Ind., we read in the Monday morning, January 23rd times of Los Angeles, that you had, from your pulpit, advanced the argument that the State has right to kill; that Hickman, Kemus, Leopold and Loeb should have paid the price already paid by truth Snyder and Judd Gray. We agree with you in your contention that the sixth commandment— Nin that the sixth commandment—Iou shalt not kill”—should be enforced. That according to law laid down by the Holy bible, a life for a life, but then there arises in our mind, at this time it is question—what about Collected America? Have the apostles of spiritual culture, such as you represent always advocated a life for a life? Or is it not a fact that in instances in certain sections of your own United States of America where Black men were even suspected of crime a blood-thirsty mob went forth with the cry, “kill Negroes,” and Negroes were killed—and the white pulpit was silent. The wind has been sown and now for the reaping of the wLirlwind. Hickman and his associates in crime represent a new type. Somehow they do not feel responsible for their criminal attitudes of mind. They are the children of a generation of vipers. They are the answers to the Black blood spit by their ancestors. Jeans said: “There would be no greater than you in the Kingdom”—then father as as the children of a common son whom we recognize, as God, keep not only one commandment. “Thou shalt not kill,” but keep them all diligently even that one that says, “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” “A Nation is a body of people inhabiting the same country or united under the same sovereign or government; as the American Nation.” “A race is a class or group of individuals having a common parentage; the descendants collectively or a common ancestry; as the Mongolian race.” In other words, a nation may be made up of many races, but a race cannot be made of many nations. Some of the elements that go to make a great nation are—political power, financial strength and moral stamina. And the things that make for strong races are common ideals, faith in its own power of production, and original creative ability. Recently our attention has been attracted by the wonderful progress made by our Women's Clubs in the city and state. We believe that while our white sisters often set the pace our Black women, in every instance, improve upon their plan. But then, the time has come when we, if we hope to be considered, must create instead of imitate; here in the city our clubs are each and everyone not only filling a need, but playing a unique role in the social development of our racial group. While there is no particular significance attached to a name in the estimation or most people; it does seem feasible that we would study and appreciate the outstanding characters living and dead in our own ranks and in naming our clubs and other organizations—remember them. MONDAY, January 23, it is said that the real work of the Senate started and the questions of moment were religion, oil, the Negro vote and the S-4. We are nearing unto a Presidential election and now while the drama of current issues effecting the growth, development and integrity of our country is being staged in U. S. Senate and the House, the Negro comes in for a scene once in a while. For sixty-seven years, the Republican Party has claimed the Negro body and soul. The Democrats who control the South, insist upon distranchisement of the Black man and Socialism equals to some extent unionism. Hence, the Negro we choose between to either, but we would of the Negro voters, or these United States in this coming Presidential election would concentrate on one man—regardless of party affiliation et) nl Page—Ten [Z | RAILROADEG |.

Richmond, Ind., Jan. 25.—Church and social circles were set agog here Saturday afternoon, when Rev. John S. Crittenden, pastor of the Mt. Morah baptist Church, was arrested on a charge of attempted rape, which was filed by Mrs. Aberdene Henson, one of the most prominent members of the church. According to the charges filed by Mrs. Henson, the attack occurred in the latter part of December when the pastor called at her home. She left the city immediately following for Chicago, where her husband, James Henson, is employed. After discussing the matter with him, she returned to the city and had the minister arrested. The church member further accused the pastor of being a modern "Dr. Jekle and Mr. Hyde," declaring that under the pretense of selling toilet articles the preacher has been making house to house calls on the members of the flock. Rev. Crittenden was released on a $3,000 bond and filled his pulpit Sunday morning and evening. He told the congregation that the charges were a frame-up on the part of those who wanted to injure him. School Building Plans Held Up By State (By: A. N. P.) Little Rock, Ark..

D., presiding elder of the South St. Louis District of the A. M. E. Church, and his wife, Mrs. E. Marie Newton, lying on their kitchen floor dead. Evidence from the coroner's office pointed to pomaine poison as a cause. Evidently they had been dead for six days when found. The funeral was conducted at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Friday, Jan. 6. This church is the head of the district of which Dr. Newton was presiding elder and to which Mrs. Newton belonged. Bishop A. J. Carey or Chicago officiated at the funeral which was attended by a congregation of ministers and laymembers of all denominations, taxing the capacity of the large auditorium. Many leading white citizens were present and through one of their representatives paid a splendid tribute to Dr. and Mrs. Newton. Dr. Noah W. Williams, the successful and popular pastor of St. Paul Church, who was licensed a local preacher by Dr. Newton about thirty three years ago, was selected to preach the double-funeral sermon which was regarded by Bishop Carey and the ministers present as well as of the laymembers that I heard express themselves, as a memorable oration. It was truly a great funeral eulogy. Two Bills of Interest To Be Introduced In Kentucky Legislature (BY: A. N. P.) Louisville, Ky., Jan. 14—Two very important "bills of interest to Negroes will be introduced in the Kentucky Legislature and sponsored by the State Inter-Racial Commission. The first is being presented by a committee representing the University of Louisville, a white institution, $100,000 of the recent bond issue for $1,000,000 is to be set aside for the establishment of a colored department of the University. The trustees of this institution are asking for a maintenance fund from the State Legislature. The second bill is one asking for an appropriation for the establishment of an institution for the Feeble-Minded. This bill is being sponsored by the State Board of Charitics and Corrections. The Red Cross Sanitarium of this city is also asking for an increased appropriation of $10,000 for the maintenance of that institution. The Kentucky Negro Educational Association through a special committee will ask for a special appropriation of interest to educators in the state. Science Curbs Rabies Science Curbs Rabies BY: ALGERNON M. JACKSON, M. D. (For the Associated Negro Press) Sporadic epidemics of rabies still flare up from time to time in different parts of the country in spite of the advances science has made to protect both men and beasts from this justly greaded disease. All people who have been bitten by a dog suspected of rabies should, under the advice of their physician, undergo the preventive treatment first developed about torty scientists ago by the great French scientist, Louis Pasteur. A wire sent by the neighborhood pharmacist to one of the big drug firms will bring the preventive serum which is injected under the skin of the exposed individual. Several injections are necessary, the number depending on the particular type of scrum used. The introduction by the rapid animal travels along the spinal cord slowly and produces the characteristic symptoms only after it reaches and accumulates in the central nervous system. The purpose of the successive injections of the serum is to render the central nervous system immune before the virus can reach this vital tissue. According to Dr. J. S. Buckley of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, governmental experiments are in progress, to determine the efficacy of the inoculation of dogs as a means of preventing epidemics among the canine population. Dog inoculation has been practiced in New England and some of the Eastern States with varying success and has been done extensively in Japan where only one death in over 30,000 inoculated dogs was reported. Variation in results is due, experts believe, to differences in virulence or "strength" of the filtrable virus that causes the disease. Rabies has been known since the earliest times and the pages of the history of medicine are crowded with accounts of extraordinary remedies used by people from ancient down to modern times to ward off the horrors of its final stages. As far back as the Roman era, however, cautery was recommended to remove the poison of the infective bite and cautery with nitric acid is even now a standard practice as an immediate prophylactic measure. Before the days of Pasteur, death almost inevitably resulted from rabies but reports from the health department of New York show that in a period of eleven years over five thousand cases treated by this method showed a mortality under one per cent. (By: A. N. P.) Columbus, Miss, Jan. 23.—The case of Louhers Low, a five-year-old colored girl, who was injured in 1926 when an M. & O. engine struck her, has been reversed and remanded to the circuit court of Lowndes County for another trial according to a decision handed down by the Supreme Court. The case was first brought up in the Circuit Court in April, 1927, the suit being for ten thousand dollars damages for the girl.

Russell, President of the Gary, Indiana, Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, telegraphed the National Office on January 10, that all but three of the colored children in attendance at Emerson High School had been dismissed. This is a new step taken by the Gary School authorities to enforce segregation in the High School, after the defeat of the city of Gary by the N. A. A. C. P. compelling them to rescind the ordinance which appropriated $15,000 or the city funds for the building or a separate high school for colored pumps. The students who were notified by Superintendent William A. Wirt of their transfer to the Virginia Street School were advised by Edward McKinley Bacoyn, attorney for the Gary Branch, to present themselves on January 9th at the Emerson School instead of the Virginia Street School, that if they were refused, appropriate legal steps would be taken. Upon their being refused, five writs of mandamus were filed by Attorney Bacoyn on behalf of the parents of the dismissed children, the citizens of Gary and the local branch.

MATT SOLOMON One of the greatest Co-operative meetings ever held by the respective Brotherhoods of the city was held on last Tuesday night when the men of the Congregational Church were host to the Brotherhoods of the city. More than 160 men were present representing every brotherhood in the city Rev. W. D. Carter was the principal speaker who dealt with social and religious problems urging a better understanding for the mutual benefit of all concerned. The one vital question before the men as evinced by this gathering was the thought of a remedy to suppress the ever increasing crime wave, Dr. Carter was very forceful in his argument and was the recipient of much comment. The musical numbers were furnished by an Octette from Friendship Baptist Church directed by Capt. Peyton Reynolds, well known Director who sang as they never did before and two selections by Harold Brown the musical son of Rev. J. M. Brown, which elicited much applause. This Brotherhood movement has and does mean much to those of our group and a movement is now on foot to procure the names and addresses of the respective members that they may be given the preference in employment. 4 The Y's Tri Club held its monthly meeting in the "Y" depicting the land of the Cherry Blossoms with Miss Mary Okeda, Japanese maiden as the special speaker, who spoke of the work in her native land.

The moderator of the Western Baptist Association, Dr. W. D. Carter, and the workers or the Association will be present on that occasion. The following comment is taken from a local paper complimentary to the work being done there by our people: NEGRO BAPTIST CHURCH DEBT IS PAID IN FULL Rejoicing was occasioned at the First Baptist Church (colored) of Callipatria last Sunday with the announcement that the final $400 of the church debt had been raised and that the loan received from the Southern California Baptist Convention had been paid in full. This gives the church the very creditable record of having raised $5,000 in less than four years, in face of setbacks which would have utterly discouraged a less resolute body of worshippers. Within six months after the purchase and moving of the Adventist church of Callipatria at a cost of $2,500, the building was blown from its foundation by a windstorm, entailing a $300 repair expense. In the fall of 1925 the edifice was completely destroyed by wind but the members responded to the encouragement offered by the pastor and officers and created the new church at a cost of $2,000. The First Baptist Church of Calipatria was the only Colored religious evangelical body in the north end of imperial Valley for a number of years and has been a remarkable spiritual help. Rev. G. E. Davis is pastor of the church, V. G. Tate is clerk and W. H. Hawkins and H. C. Thomas are trustees. The officers and members of the church offer their heartfelt thanks to the public for the support and financial assistance received and extend a cordial invitation to all to attend the mortgage-burning celebration which will be held at the church in the near future. Riverside News Mr. and Mrs. Arthur William on E. 11th St. are the proud parents of a 9 pound boy born Sunday morning, Jan. 23rd. Rev. Robt. House, pastor of Allen Chapel A. M. E.

It is a matter of "one hand washing the other." We call attention to the fact that it is time to "cease fattening frogs for snakes." If we get anywhere we must patronize not only our own men and women who are striving in business but likewise patronize the firms of our other fellow citizens who at least appreciate the same enough to give to us due consideration and who will in turn give to our folk employment and will not discriminate against our press in placing their wares before the public. We are particularly interested in the growth and progress of our great city and especially so of the great Eastside thereof and it is therefore very necessary to call attention to the galaxy of worthwhile business enterprises from time to time in order that the people may get the correct slant on the various firms and their attitude toward our group. We will not fail in our effort for genuine reciprocity along business lines to call attention to various firms and their attitude to our group, to the end that existing wrongs may be righted and the people will at least be made acquainted with the firms which practise this rank discrimination. Cats and dogs have been having a look at the movies. Contrary to what might be expected from their respective reputations, the dogs were feared and the cats excited. A German scientist has been making experiments to see what animals are sensitive to realism in pictures, with dogs at one end of the line in indifference and cats bristling at a canine shadow on the screen. The explanation is plain. A dog's nose is doubtless his most alert organ of sense, He hears well, and he is sensitive to the touch of a familiar hand. But his imagination does not fill out the curves in the flat black and white of the movies. Apparently flickering shadows on a white sheet are to him nothing more than shadows. With the cat the case is different. Science says that a cat is able to recognize the picture of a large fierce dog, for it arches its back and spits at the animated shadow on the screen. The eye is the feline's most alert organ of sense. If a wise old alley cat spits at the picture of a bulldog with bared teeth, he may recognize his ancient enemy; but what is the explanation if he hisses at pictures of beautiful screen stars? There may be no foundation for it, but the thought that cats and dogs react differently from the movies for the same reasons people experience different reactions is intriguing. Why does one person enjoy a film that bores another, and one laugh at a scene that moves other to tears? FREEDOM OF THE AIR "As free as air" no longer dom.

Now that air has become a medium of wide communication, congress has put upon its articulate use certain restraints. Radio broadcasters do not have the freedom of the air, and under another congressional restriction no person within the jurisdiction of the United States shall utter any obscene, indecent or profane language before the microphone. Are there no other restraining obligations upon the individual who enjoys the freedom of the air? Has he the right to bore, insult or outrage the listening public? The peril comes from the insidious propagandist the alluring demagogue, the covert advertiser, the fatuous entertainer and the debaser of the arts. The listener has, of course, instant protection from all these invasions of his privacy. A turn of the dia and these demons of the air are dismissed, but they are still monopolizing valuable air lanes. Obviously this new medium of communication must be as open to the free expression of opinion as is the press, but there be on the part of those who are responsible for what passes through these channels of the air as conscientious an effort to present truth, and to offer what is ennobling in art, as is expected of those at the head of universities or of newspapers. If broadcasting is to be a wholesome influence, it must be through such high-minded direction as is exhibited by those who not only need no official censor to keep their programs from vitiating the air, but who have an aspiring purpose to make the ampler ether a diviner air.

To accomplish anything for the good of the community a sentiment in favor of the proposed project must be created and it is easy to create this sentiment if the proper community spirit prevails. The main object of this life should be to make the world a better place in which to live but this cannot be accomplished with a citizenship pulling in different directions. The lesser differences should be forgotten when a project is put forth whereby the entire community will prosper and be benefitted. If every citizen of the community would get together and eliminate minor prejudices, work with but one object in view and that to make Los Angeles the best city in the state in which to live, the things accomplished would form a monument to the present generation that would live through the ages and be an inspiration for future generations to continue the good work.

WHEATON Senator Heffin, Alabama, the most cantankerous of the Southern bigots, let loose a tribute in the Senate chamber that filled it with the most noxious of gasses. It stipulated all those present, with one exception, that exception being the robust Senator, and Democrat floor leader, Robinson of Arkansas. He took the frate Senator from Alabama and gave him one of the severest verbal castigations that ever echoed through the old hall. Literally speaking, Senator Robinson took the blatant, braying ASS from the Ku Klux Klan jungles of Alabama and shook him with verbal jolts until they counted the Alabaman out. Yes, out! Down in his home State they called him a "DISGRACE." Even the Ku Klux Klan, whose cause he was championing, repudiated him. After Robinson had castigated him and the Democrat cause repudiated him, that bad boy republican, Senator Moses, rubbed the salt in the wounds by some very artistic "razzing" which near sent Senator Hefir "into apoplexy, he was so choleric. Hefin is but one example of the calibre of Southern Statesman. It cannot be expected that the best political brains a community can be selected under the system employed in the South, in any section where disfranchisement is flaunted openly, and in the faces of those who are sworn to uphold the Constitution of the nation; where murder and rapine run riot and fire of racial hatred are fanned; well, as long as those conditions exist, we must look for such minds as Heffin's to sit in our law making bodies. it seems a waste of money, energy and brains. We have in mind the many Associations for racial bettement. Take the Constitution of one and you have the aims or all. Yet when they approach the common goal they pull in devious ways. How much more could be accomplished; with what greater force the blow would strike and how much more effective that blow would prove, could we amalgamate the brains and resources of the several organizations and concentrate their energies on eradication of the racial evils. If the virality, executive ability, erudition and general fitness of our leading race men could be brought under one banner and the words inscribed thereon be self sacrifice, it would not be long, no we could count in months, before the barriers that confront us and hinder our progress, would be swept away. But those words, "SELF SACRIFICE" there is the rub. The majority of our "Uplift organizations" are formed for the purpose of creating a fat position for somebody. Why the Equal Rights League and the N. A. A. C. P.? Why the Civil Rights League and the Civil Liberty League of the I. B. P. O. E. of W.? Concentrated they would accomplish much. Apart their force is negligible. Representative Tinkham. Mass. advises that if the Republican Party, when it has the power fails to enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments, refuses to live up to its traditions, then vote for some other party. None can denounce the Republicanism of George Holden Tinkham. He is a stalwart. He rings true. We have been fighting cur battles on the inside. For years we have petitioned the Party for an observance of the Constitutional clauses which guarantees the fullest rights to all citizens who are loyal to its ideals and observant of its laws. The best that has been given is some sag in form. A appointment to office of a man from the disfranchised section who never opens his head to protest against the injustice practiced against his fellows in that section. It will not be surprising that, unless there is a great change in the Republican attitude there will be 4 great army of party insurgents during the coming months. One thing: The Negro voter of the upper section is not going to be dictated to by men from the disfranchised section. One of the most pleasurable happenings of my existence was the receipt of the news that Sarjent (Claude) Johnson had been awarded the first prize for Sculpture. He had several pieces on exhibition at the Art Show of Harmon Foundation, N. Y., but his masterpiece was a boy's head—"Sammy." A New York lady bought the piece for $250. We have watched the career of Johnson for a long while. There were times when a word of encouragement meant much. His struggle to get to the top entailed many sacrifices. But underneath there was a sense of pride. He first turned his talent to sketching and painting. Hanging over the mantel in the old home is portrait of the writer's father, done in oil, and it created favorable criticism among the Eastern artists. In his usual modesty he entered his art work as a "Picture Framer." No big head of GI course California should feel proud of him. I mean ALL CALI FORNIA! Art knows no color line except portrayed in Art. Sarjent Johnson will achieve world fame. Dr. W. H. Calhoun, prominent physician of Seattle, Wash., was a bustless visitor I nour midst and in company with Mrs. Hopkins paid his respects to the Soaring Eagle. WHERE HE WILL ENGAGE IN PRIVATE PRACTICE THE NEW YORK TIMES Eagle Publishing Co. 847 S. Central Ave. Los Angeles, Calif. My Dear Friend: "I do not choose to run in 1928." It therefore gives me pleasure to announce that on January 19th, I will resume the private practice of the law with offices located at the above address. However, you can be sure I shall always remember the kindness and the confidence of the readers and yourself expressed in my behalf during the campaign and trust that I may always enjoy that confidence of your paper in my new capacity. With sincere hope that we may meet in my new quarters in the very near future, I remain Gratefully yours, JOSEPH MARCHETTI The Week's Editorials: White Press (From the Macon, Ga., Telegraph, January, 1928) LYNCHING RECORD, 1927, SHOWS DECREASE; NQNE OCCURRED IN GEORGIA OR ALABAMA We Did Come Through Figures on lynching issued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People do not jibe with those that come from Tuskegee Institute. The Association says that 11 persons were victims during 1927, while Tuskegee gives the number as 16. It may be that the two agencies arrived at their totals upon different bases; that Tuskegee did not regard as lynching five crimes of violence in which parsons lost their lives. No matter what the difference is, neither agency was able to include Georgia among those States whose peoples had given themselves over to mob violence. Statistics do not run as far back as the days of General Oglethorpe, but it is perhaps true that 1927 was the first year since the early days of the Georgia colony when there was no mob violence. The achievement is all the more significant when it is considered that during the year there was at least one case that would have certainly, in other days, provoked a lynching. That was the case in Jasper County when a Negro assaulted a white woman. Not only were the few hoodwuns who threatened violence promptly warned that to attempt it, would mean trouble, but the feeling that emerged from that crime was one of friendliness for the responsible Negroes of the community and the desire to protect them from that blind racial ill-feeling that attends such crimes and lynchings. Georgians may well have pride in the fact that there were no lynchings in their State. Aside from the fact that the achievement places us with those States that have become civilized, at least to that extent, it indicates that we have passed from under the brutalizing and degrading influences of irresponsible mobs. Because sentiment has switched so perceptibly, it is increasingly harder for a mob to get in its work. The attitude of responsible citizens is no longer one of passivity when a mob threatens; on any number of occasions recently, good citizens have offered their services to sheriffs who were doing their duty in protecting their prisoners. The sheriff who wants to preserve the life of his prisoner until the courts order it taken, always can do it by the exercise of force. It is growing easier for him to do it, because the public is supporting him. Recently the editor of the Manufacturers' Record attempted to give an ingenious explanation, and perhaps defense, of lynching, by saying that mobs lynched because they wanted to spare white women victims the humiliation of going into court and subjecting themselves to scrutiny and to brutal examinations by defense attorneys. That explanation betrays an ignorance or mobs and an ignorance of court procedure in such cases. No mob thinks of such niceties as court trials in the heat of aroused passion; reasoning has no place with hoodlums. What makes them kill is the blood lust, the primeval passion rising and swooping away everything else, government, or early processes and everything else. Anyone who knows court procedure in aggravated assault cases knows, also, that no attorney would dare subject a victim to brutal cross examination. As a matter of fact, few victims ever go into a court room. Their evidence is taken either in private or by interrogatories. Mr. Edmonds was merely giving lynchers a basis of reasoning for doing that in which there is no reason, only passion. (From the Minneapolis, Minn., Star, January 4, 1928) APPROACHING CIVILIZATION Statistics compiled by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that there was a 33 per cent reduction in lynchings last year from the year before. Whereas in 1926, 34 persons met more or less horrible deaths at the hands of mobs and without any semblance of respect for law, in 1927 just 21 were victims. Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Texas and California are each the scene of one instance of moh rule. Florida had two and Tennessee and Arkansas three each. Mississippi is reported to have had seven lynchings in the year, more than twice as many as any other State. With a reduction from 34 lynchings in 1926 to 21 in 1927 we seem to be gradually approaching the point where we may claim to be a civilized nation. But very gradually. ON THE SIDE WALK (Continued from page 1) MISS DELILAH BEASLEY, special writer for the Oakland Tribune, we very highly appreciate your review of our 1927 Holiday Edition and if it is our good fortune to publish other numbers in the coming years, your words of encouragement shall live with us and we shall be inspired to do even greater works than these you speak of—We thank you! WE want greater activity on the Avenue in real business efforts. What you think about yourself amounts to little, what counts in the final analysis is what others think of you. THEY said Jesus was a Sabbath breaker and a false prophet, and he did not even take time to deny their allegation, but went forward doing the work of His father. SUNDAY afternoon Bethel Baptist Church, Cor. 47th and Hooper, invites you to come out and help its Sunday School put over a splendid musical program. Bethel Bassist, while it is one of the small churches in the city, boasts of the fact that it has one of the largest Sunday Schools, that is with regards to children of Sunday School ages, in the city. For this Sunday afternoon, some musical talent never before heard in Los Angeles, will appear on the program, and to miss hearing them means that you miss a splendid opportunity to improve your musical ability. SCRAPE THE HULL The progress of mankind or of any group of men may be likened unto a ship, which breasting the waves of struggle and strife, weathering the storm of adversity sails the sea of life bound for the goal of civilization. At each port of call inspection or equipment should be made and periodically the ship itself should be placed in dry dock to undergo major repairs and to afford an opportunity to remove the mass of heavy barnacles which fasten themselves to its hull and impede its progress. The time has come when the shop which carries the destiny of the Black Americans of Los Angeles should go thru such a process. No group should a nonentity - a pigmy - indifferent who, like barnacles, selfishly sacrifice the interest of the group. It is time to scrape the hull. Five times have the Black Americans elected to the Legislature a Black man in the hope that, as a Black man, he would fight their battles. Five times have they been disappointed. For nearly ten years has this man held this office and remained a nonentity—a pagmy—indifferent and unconcerned about the interest of his group. What has been the policy of this man during his ten years of resultless representation? Have the measures he supported or refused to support been considered from the standpoint of the interests of the people who elected him. Apparently not. Have the interests of the group of Black Americans, to which he belongs, been the object of his protection? Not at all. It appears that this man has been dominated by one selfish consideration; that the one thought uppermost in his mind, when confronted with any measure or situation, has been "how will this affect my re-election?" As a crowning act of apparent group treason we have the spectacle of this Black man introducing in the last session of the Legislature a bill which would admit the right of the State or a group of citizens to take away from the Black Americans their constitutional rights regarding the ownership of property. No valid or reasonable explanation of this act has been offered, nor is such an explanation possible. It is, however, a stupid blunder of an individual mentally unable to comprehend the dangerous signifi- Reese Dupree's First Radio Concert Receives Great Ovation One of the largest audiences that has ever tuned in on K. N. X. broadcasting station was charmed and thrilled Wednesday evening last by the opening concert rendered by Recs. Duprce from 7:30 to 8:00 o'clock. Accepting this station's offer because of the policy of kindly interest frequently shown by the Evening Express in artists of our Race, Mr. Duprce prepared a splendid, varied program of Spirituals and ballads.

Pocahontas, Ark., Jan. 25.—Carl Riley, a 27 year old white man, was indicted Tuesday by the Randolph County grand jury on a charge of first degree murder in connection with the killing of Rube White, a fifty-year old Negro farmer, at Biggers last August. Witnesses declared that White was killed when Riley shot into an automobile in which the Negro in company with three others was going to a picnic near Biggers. The white man would give no reason for the killing and witnesses could not give the jury this information. cance of such a measure or worse. it is time to Scrape the HULL. The last "Swan Song" gesture of this nit-wit politician is found in his so-called editorial which appeared last week in the sheet owned by him which poses as a newspaper. It is inconceivable that anyone except a self deluded egotist could imagine that an attack upon a militant organization like the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters would be conducive to good political or business results. Pullman Porters, their friends and supporters, will, no doubt, cease patronizing any business which attacks their organizations and the Black Americans of Los Angeles and vicinity will probably resent this insidious attack by retiring to the limbo of oblivion this politician who ends his nightly prayers with the petition "Help me, oh Lord, to remember that someone else might be on my job next term." Friday, January 27, 1928 Under-Sheriff Appeals To Motorists For Aid In Keeping Down Juvenile De linquency "It is as little as ten per cent more motorists in the county will take precautions against theft of their automobiles, it is possible to reduce these thefts as much as 25 per cent within a year," said Under-Sheriff Eugene W. Biscalzui to press representatives at the Sheriff's office recently. "Many persons have a mistaken conception that if their cars are well insured, they do not need to take precautions against theft. They overlook that, in not taking these precautions they are contributing to the crime situation. Stealing of automobiles is the most prevalent crime in Los Angeles County. It involved a property loss of between three and a half and four millions of dollars last year. More than half of these thefts are committed by juveniles,—boyes under 21 years of age. Carelessness on part of car owners is directly adding in the downfall of boys and girls who commit these thefts. Nearly every major crime is committed with the aid of a stolen car. Boys and girls steal only flops cars that are easy to take." 1. Dies After 70 Years On White Daily (By: A. N. P.) Memphis, Tennessee, Jan. 25—like Polk, who has been on the payrolls of the Commercial Appeal, a local daily, for 70 years, died here Monday night at his home. Mr. Polk begah his career with the Commercial Appeal back in 1858, when he was twelve years old. During the Civil War when it was necessary for the newspaper to move headquarters, due to, the onrush of the Union troops, Polk, along with a group of the workers, moved the equipment of the Appeal on flat cars and went with it to Grenada where it resumed publication. The loyalty to the newspaper which was signified in this deed and in his return when he was captured by Union troops some time later, was characterized by connection. He was actively engaged in various capacities until 1915 when he was retired on a pension on account of old age. Polk was born in LaGrange and is survived by three sons, Walter and Arthur of St. Louis, and Ike, Jr., who is a mail carrier in this city. Nashville Medics Discuss Social Diseases (By: A. N. P.) Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 25.—Social diseases and means of curbing them furnished the topics of discussion at the regular meeting of the Nashville Medical Society, held at the Morris Memorial Building here Monday night. The principal speaker was Dr. H. C. Stewart of the State Health Department, who told of the ravages of social diseases and the efforts of the department of health to curb if not eradicate these diseases. The discussion which followed was participated in by Dr. C. V. Roman, Dr. D. H. Turpin, Dr. C. B. Steele and other members of the society.

Youhg Jack proved in his victory over Adams that he had lost none of his cleverness and hitting power, dur- ing his long layoff of eight months. Young Jack is considered by some critics to be the peer of all the black boys fighting at his weight, with but one possible exception, in the person of Baby Joe Gans. The only way to determine this is to match the boys and let ‘em go to it. : Thompson is matched to fight Don Frazer in Frisco, on Friday of this week, Jack is a favorite up north and he is on’ the long end of the bet- ting. . « deat On February 2nd Johnny Adams gets a chance to redeem himself in the eyes of his home town folks. ‘Adams ig:to fight an opponent yet to be named, but if Young Sam Lang- ford takes Billy Hoon down the path, San Bernardino’s fight card for the 2nd of February will probably read: orm Adams vs. Young Sam.Lang- ford.

Art of Future May Come From Negro Race FAMOUS ENGLISH AUTH- ORESS URGES TOLER- ANCE FOR ART’S SAKE BY: DANIEL W, CHASE (For the Associated Negro Press) In an interview with Eiwin C. Hill, representing the New York Evening ‘Sun, recently, Miss Maude Boyden the famous English authoress and preach- er, is credited with saying that she be- leves that the great art of the future may come out of Africa, and from the Negro race, at that. She bases her pre- diction on the Negro’s singular gift of music and instinctive perception of tone, as well as his love of color. Miss Royden also believes that there may be other enormous gifts to mankind, now lying fallow in the subconscious- ness of other races, brown, perhaps, or yellow. Miss Royden delivered a lecture.on “The Race Question and the Future” before the League tor Political do cation, in the Town Hall, New, York, and if all reports are true, the Jecture was interesting. in the extreme. Says Mr. Hill, m, reporting ‘thei: terview, “Her prediction that Africa may some day produce the | world’s great art—even as Agia is the mother of, religions—sprang from her theme of the race question, which troubles the world so greatly, even the British ‘Gommonwealth. of " Nétions, which oe vernmentajly and sociat- pwith more Faces. tia perhaps any eee eatien.” Miss Hovden, Rinted at Dok wBich ‘would in te reduce: a which would in (fo: 8 commoy. race," Dont fs su ake noua - world suffers today” ot : gomplex on ‘the: part of ‘races SAE Wa aie ae Foun s thie is a. ay, andthe the ies gust: Bnd: it, _\Perdecs! io tones, mat Witihe this. comp! siete is the f Shots Bore ein a Brom Gattked or treater ‘om wage: er sipall nation 2° determin red tyat way.

TERS ATORS ER- GERS Holman PAINTING EQUIPMENT Cases, Furniture, Fixtures and on Lacquer and Spray Work e on Spray Work Guaranteed Work Res.: 1530 W. 37th Street Res.: 1812 E. 115th Street AUTO DEALERS CLAIM NOT To any one familiar with the automobile situation today it is apparent that all is not well. Coincident with the introduction of the new yearly models and designs prices on same have dropped to unheard levels in all grades. Especially is this true in the cheaper lines which in reality regulate the prices of the larger and more expensive ones. The dealers backed up by the manufacturers have and continue to tactfully deny there is any price war on, yet they have separately and suddenly following the announced Ford prices slashed their prices of their own makes until one wonders what is taking place. Among the cheater makes such as the Ford Whipkey Chevrolet and Star competition has become so keen that in one or two instances the dealers have dare to slightly undersell the Ford if one can so stretch their imagination to believe the truth. Stepping a notch higher up into Ets sex, Junior Nash, Dodge and Pontiac class where prices range around 800 to 1000 dollars in round numbers the four cylinder cars at this price are loosing ground in favor of light sizes which by demonstration performances have convinced the buying public of their superiority in more than one way over the fours. In this class we find the Studebaker Corporation has entered the field with a new car known as the Erskin Six. Ascending to the next level we see the Buick, Chandler, Nash, Studebaker, Dodge Light Six and Hudson competing with one another and so on until the high grade car prices are reached and here as in the cheap competitive, lines the dealers are bidding against one another in a gentlemanly way for the business. Aside from Henry Ford the automobile business is built up and maintained on borrowed capital. Thousand of stockholders form the financial basis of the businesses and in the sale each new car must be included a margin of profit with which stock dividends must be paid. Consequently it is not unreasonable to assume such being the case and indeed it is a fact that the Ford Motor Car Co. owing to it being a non stockholding concern in addition to its large holding of basic materials that enter into the building of an automobile and control and regulate the sales and the industry. Consequently no automobile manufacture will dare for a moment to attempt to undersell the Ford and pay dividends for it can't be done with out producing a price war that will shake the country. Yes despite the contradictions affloat there is a price war but the participants in their wild scramble to sell their products are and will be careful not to bring ruin and destruction to themselves by attempting to out Henry Henry. Dr. Issues Warning On Monoxide Gas Dangers A warning to automobile owners on the dangers attending the operation of gasoline engines in poorly ventilated garages is sounded by Dr. Louis I. Harris, Health Commissioner of New York City, according to a bulletin issued by the National Automobile Club. He explains that five minutes' operation of a motor in a small garage may make a deadly atmosphere sufficient to cause death by carbon monoxide gas. Never, he points out, should an engine be operated for any length of time in a closed or stuffy garage, and never should work be done under a vehicle when the motor is running. In case a person is overcome by the deadly gas fumes he recommends the following emergency treatment: Remove the victim from the poisonous atmosphere, but never to a cold place. Call a doctor immediately, and have some dependable person administer first aid pending arrival of the physician. In every case the essential treatment consists of getting oxygen into the lungs of the person overcome. "In the first stage," says Dr. Harris, "preceding the loss of consciousness, fresh air combined with a carbonated drink is desirable, but never try to force a drink down an unconscious man for it may strangle him. Alcohol should never be given at any time. At this stage headache or vomiting are the most depressing symptoms. They will be relieved by effervescing salts, which should be prescribed by a physician. The headaches usually linger for a day or two. Violent exercise should be avoided, otherwise a relapse may occur. "In the second stage, in which the victim has become unconscious but is still breathing, the correct treatment is to assist the respiratory system by giving an inhalation of oxygen and (5 per cent.) carbon dioxide. The effectiveness of this mixture in cases of asphyxiation was discovered several years ago by Dr. Yandell Henderson and Dr. H. W. Haggard, physiologists, of Yale University. "If the victim is not breathing, begin artificial respiration immediately, but do not handle him roughly. Be gentle. The patient should be kept warm by proper covering and, if necessary, warm bricks wrapped in cloth or water bags filled with warm water—not hot—beside his body, but great care should be taken that the bricks or water are not hot enough to burn the skin. Artificial respiration should be continued without interruption until natural breathing is restored, or for at least three hours." Route To Mojave In Good Condition On the route between Barstow and Mojave via Kramer, a very good graded road extends to the Kern County line, according to the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club. This is followed by a comparatively short section of unimproved road, with the balance of the route a very good graded road into Mojave.

Central Ave. Los Angeles Fender straightening has become almost an art in the perfection of the work done. To one accustomed to looking upon a bent fender as hopeless, it is amazing what the modern body shop can do to restore damaged units, declares L. C. Shaw of the Service Department of the National Automobile Club. As a matter of fact, with modern equipment, the most mangled fender can be restored to its originally smooth contours. Then the application of a quick drying lacquer finish does the rest. The development is one of the last three years, and is a most important one. Shaw says.

Tires, Tubes, Accessories, Battery & Ignition, Washing, Polishing, Greasing, Repairing TOWN OF NEW YORK INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS Surveyed by The Associated Negro Press with the cooperation of The National Negro Business League and the Department of Commerce and Other Reliable Agencies What sort of a store should I operate? Many men and women have pondered over that question to the point of vexation when contemplating the establishment of a store. Dr. Melvin T. Copeland in the Harvard Business Review, Vol. 1, pp. 282-289 pretty thoroughly answers the question, or at least, reduces it to such form as to make it possible for one to answer it for one's self. The findings of Dr. Copeland have been sustained by an investigation conducted by the special staff of the Bureau of Domestic, Commerce, and have been given publicity in government publications. There are three general types of stores, according to these specialists who confirm the good doctor. They are: convenience, shopping, specialty. Many mercantile organizations partake of the characteristics of two or more of the types mentioned. However, for the small merchant, the mastery of either type of merchandising is in itself an accomplishment. It may be explained that convenience stores are those carrying goods that are usually purchased at easily accessible stores. Intersections of street car lines, locations adjacent to entrance gates to factories or the employees entrance of big business places are samples of such locations. Goods sold in such places should be or the sort that are either ordinary necessities or life, or articles the desire for which is created by a sight of the goods. It is well that the merchandise offered here be of small unit price, a price that the average pocket money will cover without creating a hardship upon the resources of the buyer. In the main, goods for which one would not spend carfare to go into a definite shopping zone to obtain, make the most desirable commodities for such a store. The Chain Drug, Stores and the United Cigar Stores represent a very high type of development of the Convenience store idea. In each of these exhibits we find the result of the most painstaking care to locate stores where the greatest number of people pass in any given period of time: and of great care to stock the stores with appealing merchandise of small price. Very often higher priced goods have been especially packed into fractional weight packages as a means of creating a frequent sales for a small sum instead of the less often made sale of great value and bulk. Shopping stores may be best described as including the great department stores where the natural tendency upon the part of the buyer to compare prices, quality, style, and sizes, is a factor that must be regarded. Such stores must carry tremendous lines, such sort of goods offered, must provide such an easy service to the selling that goes on over the counters; and must be so situated as to be of easy access to the visitors at other merchants in similar lines. This is the reason fro the shopping center that exists in every community. Specialty stores are those where the public may be drawn by the very character of the goods offered. Extensive advertising, widely known trade names or the personal name value of the merchant, must enter into such stores. Either or all of those factors may contribute to the success of this type of store. The infrequent intervals between sales, the cost of delivery, the augmented service and the losses sustained by maintaining a style standard all contribute to making a store of this character an expensive item to deal. That fact of itself is often the greatest drawing influence upon a certain patronage that appreciates the sense of exclusiveness in their purchases, in all other relations with the world. This is a bit of information extracted from Retail Store Problems, and is but a thought from an extensive study of store location that is published in full as a chapter in that volume. The book of one hundred and forty pages is available at the office of the Superintendent of Public Documents, Government Printing office, Washington. If is one of the many helpful publications that has been prepared for the benefit of the smaller business units by the Department of Commerce. PLANNING THE STORE AND There are three types of merchandise in most stores. Of course, there are really many more types, or combinations of these types, but virtually all goods offered for sale comes within one of the other of the three following definitions: Merchandise the customer needs, Articles which a customer may want, and Articles which the customer may be induced to want. The habits and customs of different localities differ so that goods that may be in one category in one community may be held in entirely different esteem elsewhere, and be classified in one of the two other groups. It is therefore impossible to cite examples. Each merchant must determine what for himself. Since the self-selling instinct is so highly developed many people will be impressed with a more view of an article that has not yet been occurred to his mind as being at all doable. Therefore, the reverse of the listing given above makes a very excellent plan for laying out the merchandise in a store. The customer will quite willingly walk through the aisles of a store for the things he needs. To a less extent, he will travel through other departments to reach the one selling something he wants. It is only logical to place the thing he is to be taught to want en route to these other, more or less, already sold commodities. Merchandise that may be sold upon impulse to the customer, and goods which he must be inveigled into wanting, should all be placed along the regular lines of traffic through the store. It is reasonable to expect that customers will go to any part of a store to buy essentials, therefore the necessities of life need not be so conspicuously placed. The proper co-relating of departments is a very important factor in the selling of many lines of goods. Does your display or goods in all lines function so as to give rise to thoughts of associated articles? If not, you are, perhaps, missing some sales that are rightfully yours. Dress materials suggest the findings and many minor contributions to the completed garment. Shoes and stockings are or allied interest. So are ham and eggs. It is not necessary to continue a long list of possibilities in this connection. Slow moving stocks may be speeded up a bit by placing them near a more rapidly handled line. The psychological effect of quickly made sales often may be exercised to influence the neatly line which otherwise had moved in a more habitable fashion.
