1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 WATTS NEGROES IN BUS FIGHT VOLUME 41 WAT South Los Angeles Citizens in Mass Meeting Assembled Citizens of South Los Angeles (formerly Watts) gathered 1000 strong in Mass Meeting assembled at Grant Chapel on last Tuesday evening to voice their protest against the action of the Watts Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Public Utilities in revoking the franchise of the bus line which had heretofore been conducted by citizens of the colored race. The colored people compose 98 per cent of the patronage of the bus lines running in this section, but the Chamber of Commerce of South Los Angeles had looked with disfavor upon the spectacle of colored men operating the bus lines and deliberately set about to change it. They do not object to Negroes as patrons of the line but do object to them as operators and drivers. This is in line with the prejudice demonstrated by the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who owns a picture show—The Largo Theatre—on the Main street and frankly states he does not care for the patronage of colored. It is further said that this same man is one of the remnants of the ill-fated Ku Klux Klan. Therefore the assembly was highly enthusiastic and joined in with might and main for an organized effort to combat these great injustices heaped upon them from time to time. PERMANENT ORGANIZATION FORM A permanent organization was formed to be known as the Citizens Council and Industrial League. The officers of the same are: Pres., Rev. C. F; Jones, Vice-Pres., W. R. Knox; Secy. M. P. Davis; Ass't. Secy., Rev. H. D. Prowd; Treas., N. R. Harding. The following persons addressed the gathering Tuesday evening: W. R. Knox; Rev. C. F. Jones; Rev. Curtis; Rev. H. D. Prowd; Editor J. B. Bass and C. A. Dus. The next meeting will be held at the Macedonia Baptist Church, Tuesday evening, Feb. 28th. Colored Business Men Sign Leases Aggregating $60,000 in New Hotel Building The faith by far-sighted local business men in the new hotel now under construction is demonstrated by the fact that leases were signed during the past week to the tune of $60,000.00 for store and office space in the new hotel building now in course of construction at 41st and Central Avenue. Albert Baumann, proprietor of Baumann's Drug Stores, No.1 and 2, has leased the corner store on 41st and Central and will equip one or the finest and most modern Drug Stores in the entire city. Dr. A. J. Booker and Dr. J. C. Cooper have leased a suite of five offices on the second floor facing Central Ave. where they will maintain an up-to-date and modern medical and dental office. Jarnett and Irvin have taken a five-year lease for a tailor shop. Mr. Harper Lee has taken a store for a modern haberdashery store. These leases with the contract assured by the Railroad Companies amounts to considerably more than $60,000.00 and is the first time in the history of the West, when a building owned and operated by colored people will house so many of our business and professional men. The articles of incorporation for the new company will soon be ready and a splendid opportunity will be offered to colored citizens to participate in this great movement which will without question be a great boon to the onward march of progress.

ORANGE BLOSSOM CLUB OF ELKS TO HOLD SERIES OF TOURNAMENTS In preparation for the big Elks Convention in Chicago for which a special train will run, the Orange Blossom --- A. Forum Holds Great Meeting Celebrating Lincoln, Douglas and John Brown Sunday, 5 P. M., was another hight day for the Los Angeles Forum when a most splendid program was given in honor of Lincoln. Douglas, John Brown. It is a part of the by laws of the Forum for the annual observance of this day for the three great characters named above. Mr. C. Boston and wife furnished a very appropriate musical number. Mr. James McGregor delivered a very forceful address upon Lincoln and Douglas, the general consensus of opinion was that Mr. McGregor's effort was one of the very best ever heard in this section. Mrs. Steward read Lincoln's Gettysburg address with great effect. W. A. Buncan, the President and J. B. Bass, spoke on John Brown, after which Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winters led in singing "John Brown's Body Lies a-mouldering in the Grive." Mr. S. W. Winters was present and introduced to the Forum. The occasion was just another great day of days for this wonder organization. Dear Pickens Delivers Masterful Address Dean William Pickens, Field secretary N. A. A. C. P. on last Sunday afternoon at the A. M. E. Zion Church was greeted by a crowd which filled every book and corner in the spacious auditorium of the large, edifice, even the balcony was filled to its fullest capacity. For one hour and twenty minutes this masterful orator held spellbound the great multitude of people. We have heard this great advocate on many occasions and while he has at times rendered a good account of himself we must say on this occasion he excels all previous efforts and no man living ever delivered a more masterful exposition of the life of Abraham Lincoln than Dean William Pickens rendered on last Sunday. WM. PICKENS AT INDEPENDENT CH. SUNDAY WM. PICKENS AT INDEPENDENT CH. SUNDAY WANTED! 100 BABIES FOR N. A. A. C. P. BABY CONTEST Everyone remembers the wonderful enthusiasm manifested in the Baby Contest held under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P. two years ago. Mr. Wm. Pickend, Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. was here then to give the contest an auspicious start and he will speak next Sunday, February 19th at three o'clock at the Independent Church and officially launch the present contest. Put your baby into the contest! If you haven't one of your own, get one of your neighbor's. We want 100 entrants to take part in this fight against discrimination and segregation waged by the infants. Los Angeles is out to beat its own record of over $4000 raised under the able leadership of Mrs. J. M. Scott who is being urgently sought as the leader or the present contest.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1928 The District Attorney, of Los Angeles according to reports in the daily papers will not permit of any covering up of the pernicious activities of the persons who started out to intimidate and manhandle colored citizens who would perchance visit the beach. They also sought out by arson and assault to drive from the beach colored citizens who lived there in peaceful possession of their own property. We are glad to note that we have a District Attorney who has delved deep into this situation and has found out the true animus behind the whole situation to be unlawful and being such has started the wheels of Justice in motion that the guilty shall pay the price for their unlawful act. Truly therefore the wheels of Justice move exceedingly slow but sure. Newton Street Station Lieut. Jack Phillips met with a serious accident caused by his car overturning. He is confined to the hospital suffering from internal injuries. Everything is moving along out of this center of activity with neatness and dispatch. Captain Oakley will no doubt prove a worthy successor to this very popular and highly appreciated instructor, Captain I. L. McClary. Bert Massey is well known in this district and has heretofore been considered a highly efficient official and will no doubt handle the ever present vice situation to the satisfaction of all who stand for law and order. In other words we feel that Lieutenant Massey will to the utmost keep the Eastside as clean as it is possible to do so from the Chinese lottery sharks, dives and other attendant evils. This has been a strenuous week for law-breakers and the police blotter shows much activity by officers all along the line in stamping out and curbing vices. Officers Rueben Scott, Wiley and Kelso are giving a good account of their assignment, and the entire force marks up arrests high unto 150 for the week ending, most of which are Chinese lottery activities with violation of the moral code running a close second. First In Line Mr. George A. Anderson, 1651 Sargent Place, Los Angeles, was the first Southern California to pay his income tax for the calendar year 1927. He leads a host of over 200,000 taxpayers who must make their payments before March 15, 1928. "Mr. Anderson could have waited until the last few days of the filing time to make his return and pay his tax," said Internal Revenue Collector Galen H. Welch, "but he has shown his wisdom and loyalty by being first to discharge his obligation to Uncle Sam." "Mr. Anderson will not be one of those who will have to stand in line for hours for a turn at the Cashier's window at the close of the filing period in March." In this connection Mr. Welch called attention to the fact that it is unnecessary for taxpayers to make payments in person, but personal checks or money orders may be remitted by mail. Checks should be firmly attached to returns which must be properly signed and sworn to, thus saying time and much inconvenience, he cautioned, however, against sending cash by mail. "The new income tax blanks were mailed out January 18, 1928, and should be in the hands of all taxpayers within a few days thereafter," said Mr. Welch. "I wish to urge upon everyone the importance of making prompt returns. Failure to receive the forms will not exempt anyone from the payment of his income tax." CORECTOR OF INTERNAL REVENUE 218 Federal Building, Los Angeles, California Little Emily Josephine Brown will celebrate her seventh birthday on Saturday, February 18 at 2 P. M. at the home of her aunt's, Dr. Emily Brown Childress, 1538 W. 36th St. Rev. W. C. Cartwright, pastor of Compton Hill Baptist Church of St. city for 10 days as a housewife of Rev. and Mrs. F. H. Prentice of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. M. H. Shelton, a resident of Phoenix, Arizona, for the past seventeen years, and friend of Mr. L. G. Robinson of Los Angeles, a race man of rare type and ability and through whom Mr. Shelton has been induced to choose for his principal place of business for the establishment of the National Townsite and Epic Builders Association or America, is now and has been visiting Los Angeles at Mr. Robinson's residence, 1155 East Adams street. He has signed a lease with Mr. Robinson for a store room owned by Mr. Robinson at 3422 So. Central Avenue which will be remodeled into office for Los Angeles Headquarters for the Association. Mr. Robinson has been instrumental in the opinion of many, of inducing the most favorable project to be located in our City for the benefit of our people than anything that has been proposed for the benefit of the Race since Lincoln's time, if developed as proposed. Mr. Shelton has the reputation or being talented for empire building being at this time the personal owner of two Arizona cities, Acre City, Arizona, and Pacific City, owning the entire business district and municipal conveniences. On and after March first, the thrifty people interested in the welfare of the Race are requested to call at 3422 South Central Ave., to co-operate with the Association. Neal Pullen Prevents Bad Fight at Cleveland-Hilldale Game Neal Pullen Prevents Bad Fight at Cleveland-Hilldale Game Family arguments, divorces, street fights or riots can invariably be prevented by cool-headedness of one of the parties concerned. This was evidenced Sunday near the close of the second doubleheader game between the Hildale Giants and Cleveland Stars. A batter was called out on strikes and losing his temper rushed to attack Umpire Beck. At the same time a friend of his rushed the "umps" also and things looked bad for him, but Neal Pullen quickly stepped between him and the angry players cool but determined holding them back until they decided peace was better. His action is highly commended by the fans for fights do not help baseball. New Store; New Credit System Harts Credit Clothiers, Inc., have opened a new store at 426 West 8th St, down town.

We were not present at the above meeting, neither did we have a reporter or available for a political meeting on Sunday, even though such meeting was conducted in a church house therefore we must rely upon the report furnished by our esteemed contemporary, "The Pacific Defender," which reports the meeting as follows: "The public was invited to attend what was advertised as a big mass meeting held at Phillip's Chapel, 42nd and Wadsworth St., Sunday, Feb. 12 at 2 P.M. The names of many prominent men appeared on the bill and in some of our newspapers, as speakers among them were ministers of our group and office holders and politicians (white). The meeting was under the auspices of the so-called Voters' League, and the purpose of the meeting was evidently political. A reporter from this paper covered the affair and counted about forty people present and the meeting was lacking in enthusiasm. Charles Oliver was the most prominent figure at the meeting, and did not hesitate to inform everyone that he was the most important factor in the affair, therefore we were not surprised when the crowd failed to respond in large numbers to the circulars and newspaper advertisement. Not daring to question a person for this we set about questioning various leaders of different groups or citizens whom we know are well conversant with the political situation and in most cases received the same reply—that they believed Mr. Oliver was honest in his purpose, that of enhancing his own position and possibly his own pocket book, at the expense of both the politicians and our own race, for they could not say Mr. Oliver's own race because that question has never been settled satisfactorily to the majority of the people. This gentleman, though constantly on the political firing line, seems to have no relation with the Black race of people other than a disposition to represent them politically without their consent and not so much as even a thank you. Perhaps this is true and as we are not in a position to say definitely that it is so, we are inviting the public, especially members of our own race, who are interested in setting things right, and also Mr. Oliver, to entrance into these columns with a written assertion of their attitude and viewpoint. We will say, however, that it would be well for candidates for office, as well as those holding office by appointment, or election by the people, scrutinize all invitations to come before our group, and be sure that they do not appear upon programs under the auspices of organizations that cannot show the stamp of approval of the voting Black Americans of of this community. Killer Gets Eleventh Hour Reprieve (By: A. N. P.) Montgomery. Ala., Feb. 4.—The electric chair in Kilby Prison yawned for Charlie Washington Thursday night, but in vain. Washington was to have been electrocuted Thursday night in expiation for the murder of Louis Wallick, a huckster in Birmingham, but was given a reprieve at the eleventh hour by Governor Graves, following a hearing at the capitol Tuesday evening. The hearing accorded Washington was in keeping with the policy of Governor Graves to give every man a chance before he is executed. Washington had no legal adviser with him but stated his own case, again declaring that he was innocent of the crime and that he was at home when Wallick was killed. The governor granted the reprieve of six weeks in order to investigate the case. Finds Wife With Man; Seeks Divorce New York, N. Y., Feb. 14—Following a raid by private detectives on an apartment, Robert Peynado has died sail in court here for a divorce from his wife, Edna Paynado, a dance hall hostess. Negro Police Given Orders to Arrest No White People Negro Police Given Orders to Arrest No White People (By: A. N. P.) Louisville, Ky., Jan. 23.—With the announcement of names of the newly elected police officers for Louisville, it was stated in one of the local papers that these Negro policemen would be assigned to the black belt and that they would be instructed not to arrest any white people. The citizens are aroused and will carry their complaints direct to the Board of Public Safety. The Louisville Times had the following to say in Editorial last week. UNWISE LIMITATION No reasonable objection giving five or six Negroes places on the police force can be raised in Louisville, but since Negroes are to be appointed, serious objection must be raised to the reported intention to instruct the appointees to arrest no white persons. A policeman, white or black, is a policeman just as a lawbreaker, white or black, is a lawbreaker. To put a man in police uniform and then tell him that he must draw the color line in exercising the authority vested in him as a policeman is unwise and unfair. Further, it is a weak and unwise concession to race prejudice out of line with the evident determination to give the Negro recognition for the part played in local politics. Probably Negro leaders, Hefe will be glad to receive the recognition. But they could not be censured for resenting a limitation that would invite criminality by white hoodlums in the Negro district in which the Negro policemen are to walk beats. Prominent Physicians to Attend Tuskegee Clinic. (By: A. N. P.) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan. 30.—Tuskegee physicians and surgeons attending the eleventh annual meeting of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society and the seventeenth annual clinic of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital which convenes at the Institute Hospital here April 1-7, will have the opportunity of hearing Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, present some pertinent facts of health conditions among Negroes. Dr. Dublin is author of "Life, Death and the Negro," an analytical study of factors affecting morbidity of Negroes, published in a recent number The American Mercury. The annual meetings of the Clinical Society serve the dual purposes of bringing first-class medical and surgical aid and relief to many who otherwise would be unable to secure such services and of providing conferences where prominent black and white medical men of the South, North, and East meet and exchange ideas for the advancement of medical science. In a letter to members of the medical men include Dr. H. E. Kleinschmidt of the National Tuberculosis Association, Dr. Walter M. Brunet of the American Social Hygiene Association, Dr. W. W. Peter of the Cleanliness Institute, Dr. Walter Gray Crump of New York, Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. C. V. Roman of the faculty of Mebray Medical College, Dr. U. G. Dalley, and Dr. Roscoe C. Giles of Chicago, Dr. J. F. Laine of Louisville, president of the Clinical Society, Dr. A. B. McKenzie of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, vice-president of the Society and a number of others from all sections of the country. SPEED QUEEN. MOTORS TO BAKERSFIELD Miss Sherrod, the little "Tonsorial Queen" leaped into her little Ford roadster last Sunday and leaped up to Bakersfield. Miss Sherrod is having some new equipment installed on her car for contemplated motor trips. Be careful Miss "S" while making these motor leaps you don't leap into matrimony, you know this is leap year. The Christians, who made the Tavern famous, have moved and discontinued their work at the Tavern to the regret of the many club women and the social set of Los Angeles. Detectives, accompanied by Pernade, raided an apartment Monday night and discovered the man's wife in a compromising position with a strange man. This fact is the ground for absolute divorce. On Sunday, February 12th we started what we hope to make or call a "church visiting program." Our first visit was with the Tabernacle Baptist Church of which the Rev. J. D. Gordon is pastor. It was our privilege to listen to a most excellent sermon, the text to a most excellent sermon. The Rev. Gordon, aside from being the possessor or a most pleasing personality, is a convincing speaker in thought, far in advance of his time, and is often misunderstood. Nevertheless, he is both loved and revered by not only his faithful followers, but by all who have tested the sincerity of his friendship. He is a spiritual preacher, but as he said last Sunday, "The Kingdom of Heaven is in you and you in it," hence he believes in and preaches the doctrine of race appreciation and loyalty to race building through economic competition. We received a cordial welcome and found in this church a spirit of Good Will towards all men, be they members or visitors. If the Negro's race pride is to be measured by the enthusiasm with which he sings his National anthem, it is certainly very weak. It was positively embarrassing last Sunday afternoon, when the local N. A. A. C. P. president asked the large audience at the Pickens meeting to sing the National Negro Anthem. As per request, the congregation arose, but such weak, puny voices, minus any sign of pop, struggled through the stanzas to the very end, and to the relief of those who cannot sing. The California Eagle will print and donate thousands of copies of the National Negro Anthem if some chorister of one of the large churches will arrange for a community sing program to meet once a week at which time we may all meet and learn to sing first of all the National Negro anthem, and other appropriate songs. On Monday, February 13th we were called into conference, in the making of a new civic club. The conference was called by Mrs. Highbaugh at the residence of Mrs. Bramlett in E. 18th Street. Some of Los Angeles most progressive thinkers and club workers were present and what promises to be a worthwhile civic organization, was launched. We are anxious to see the women organize in this fashion. We want to waste less time socializing and more time studying social evils as they affect the future development of our homes and families. The moving picture has much to do with the education of our children of this day and time, hence we should see to it that only the right sort of pictures are shown. Along Central Avenue, in some of the smaller movie houses we often see pictures advertised that cause us to wonder what the authorities are thinking about when they permit such pernicious propaganda that spread the diseases of crime to be sent forth by way of the moving picture. "Car Contest" Being Investigated (By: A. N. P.) New York, N. Y., Jan. 30.—An investigation of the activities of various welfare organizations is being conducted in this city by Commissioner Bird S. Coler, head of the city Department of Welfare, as a result of some misunderstanding growing out of a recent automobile supposed to have been given away by the Christmas Cheer Committee. According to the story, the car, a Nash sedan, was to be railed off to the person holding the lucky number at a big affair given at the Bamboo Park. One Herbert Morgan, is alleged to have held the ticket entitling him to the car. Morgan held ticket number 3,029, but the committee declares that 3,429 was the whining number and was held by Miss Hurley Morgan Hurley Morgan, it is said, is the sweetheart of some J. H. Mosely, but J. H. Mosely was the man who held the ticket and was therefore, the legal owner of the car. Miss Evangeline Lewis and brother, Wade, were among those who spent the week-end in Coronado.

C. Hutcheson of Houston, Texas, today recommended criminal contempt against the rail executives. Orders for passenger cars placed by railroads in the United States last month were nearly double the figure for January, 1927, according to Railway Age.

MATT SOLOMON The Hi-Y basketball team of Los Angeles played a good game against the Hi-Y of Passdena on last Saturday resulting in a victory for the local team by a sore of 20 to 14 with Johnnie Clark starring 'or the Passdena team by shooting six baskets. These teams will further their activities Saturday week when they play a return game at the 28th Street Branch, Los Angeles. Each team has a hilarious following and much rooting is looked for to boost the prospective winner. A movement is on foot fostered by Russel Grant, rJ. to devise some means to procure the use of the Y. M. C. A. for the boys of our group on a certain day in each week the same privilege that is allowed the Japanese and Mexicans and to this end he has called a meeting at his home out of which a committee is to be appointed to have a conference with Mr. Beal, head of the physical department. It is hoped that this effort will not be vain for our boys are sorely handicapped for physical development so far as equipment is concerned. It is the intention of young grant to get the better of the boys thereby keep down all possible friction. Rev. J.

Hicks who has been sick for some time is reported as being improved. Last Sunday was Connectional Young Peoples Day at the Methodist Church when the whole day's program was given over to the young people which resulted in a most appreciable program. This affair is something new but the young people fell right into line as if they had been doing it for years. Besides this feature it only demonstrated to the parents the possibilities of youth if given a chance. The day was replete with solos, duets, addresses, papers and all else that young folk are capable of doing in an intellectual way. Dr. Thompson whose office was formerly on South Fair Oaks avenue has removed the same to Los Angeles on East Washington street. The Crown City Club and the College Champs will play a game of Basketball at the Y. M. C. A on Saturday night when a hot contest is expected. With such players as Harrison, Stocks, Ford, Stevens, Hawkins, with the feet footed Curt Turner as a real live sub, we doubt very seriously if the local boys will get in shooting distance of the basket, or course that remains to be seen.

A town has no place for the knocker, a knocker is hardly a man without a country, but his country, his town, or his community has little use for him. There are all kinds of knockers—as many as there are kinds of people. The thriving city is filled with boosters—boosters who so outnumber the knockers that their knocking does not count for much. We like the boosters. Sometimes they are super-enthusiastic, or, rather, over-enthusiastic is the better word. But they are always enthusiastic for their home town or the cause in which they are interested, and they are never to be found hanging around somewhere knocking this and knocking that. No, a booster is not built that way. We must have these boosters; they are just as necessary to the successful enterprise as daylight is to the earth. Knockers are found everywhere just the same as the boosters, but, let us all be thankful for it, the boosters are always far away in the lead; usually, the knockers can be found in the rear, where it is safer for them, perhaps. They flock together, but even then they fail to make a crowd, as a rule. But the greatest booster is he who converts the knocker into a booster—"makes him see the light"—so that both play the game as team-mates ever after. A town has no place for the knocker—if matters not whether he knocks the town, its enterprises or its citizens. Show us a man who knocks his fellow-citizen and we will show you the poorest excuse for a citizen extant. BETTER NOT SAY IT Bad news travels faster than good news. There is an old saying, "No news is good news." Let a man be converted at a church service and there is not much of a stir, but let a resident be convicted of crime and the news leaps by word of mouth from one end of the community to the other. Bad news travels fasta saying.

How thoughtlessly unkind we sometimes are when acquaintances of ours suffer misfortune! Troubles are bound to come to us all in some shape or form, and what we say about others today may apply to us tomorrow. News is no respector of persons. We are prone to consider the ways of others not our ways when we should be watching our own step. What folks say of one another sometimes hurts more than anything they could have done. News, either good or bad, grows and becomes exaggerated and distorted with peddling. When the news is good it makes no material difference how it is exaggerated or distorted—it can never do anyone positive harm. But bad news given wings, may bring sorrow and ruin upon people who certainly are not deserving of a punishment beyond the penalty of their mistake. VICIOUS PROPAGANDA The following news item with Back Face headline appeared ed in the "Daily News" of Wednesday: NEGRO LABORERS, $1 A DAY, PROMISE SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.—(U.

We are convinced that the above is a part of the most vicious propaganda ever set forth, and certain interests are using this pernicious system to drag chestnuts out of the fire to aid and assist in opening the border line for the free entry of Mexican labor.

More charity for others will mean charity for ourselves and we will gradually come to take a keener delight in reporting something good of some person than something bad. Good is constructive, bad is destructive. Just before you are about to let out a bit of "bad news," stop and think a moment. See if you can't think of something good to say in place of it. The chances are to one that you can and that you will. COMMENTS President Coolidge made a remarkable speech *at* the dedication of the $11,000,000 Press Club, Washington, D. C. Any number of facts that could be adopted in "to-to" by our Race papers. Especially the reference to "Business," "Other countries are best adapted as a whole to people who live there, and our country is certainly the best country for our people." Next we develop a device to the country has been one or strongest and most indispensable attributes contributing to human progress. * * * In the effort of the press to destroy, it ought to neglect virtue. It expresses the thought, the hope, the aspirations and the faith of the people." Good advice: What a chance it would make in Race attitudes if the press—powerful agency for good or bad—could give the same authority the skills, art and industry as it does in dissimilating derogatory matter concerning the Negro. California will send a Herbert Hoover delegation to Kansas City, and if rumor—which is rife—is correct he will receive the solid support of the New England States. It is not very good politics to try to wrest the Ohio delegation from Senator Willis. The surface sentiment may look like Hoover, but when the machine begins to function, and the political screws tighten it may squeeze the Hoover aspirations to a pulp, or impair his chances elsewhere. California will see a splendid-ship when the Smith-Cola forces come to a clinch. The delegation to go to Houston. One thing is sure; the Democrats can always be relied on to furnish the fire works, whether in a primary or convention contest. Well! Well! Alabama and Georgia have declared for Hoover—National Committee. Dan Cupid laughs at color, and thumbs his nose at the K. K. F. kerry cross. In Rockville, Conn., Beatrice Fuller and Clarence Kellem fell in love and were married. Miss Fuller is a descendant of the Pilgrims who came over in the Mayflower, and a sociologist of love at first sight." The Fuller family acquired to the match, but there was a helluva row from disinterested folks. Kellem is a mulatto. The press said, "Kellem's Negro descent is not readily apparent. At first glance he appears to be white." Now, don't everybody answer at one time: Were you ever LEMULATTO? Better for an honorable marriage. Then who knows but that the Kellem pedigree will match that of the Mayflower? Who knows? It might have been one of his paternal ancestors who came over with Sir Walter Raleigh, and his maternal ancestor a descendant of the Caterpillar. Or again, his paternal ancestor a descendant of the Ptolemy and his maternal of the "blue blood." At any rate it is one or the other. But Dan Cupid says, "tobelwithcolor." Six men from Folsom prison are on trial for killing a guard during the Thanksgiving day rioting. It is a study to watch the change of their countenance as the testimony given by other prisoners tightens the noose. The slushed and blood-stained garments of the inmates in San Francisco Singleton, when killed, were shown to the widow for identification. With the exception of a shifting of the eye, none of the six showed the least emotion. Hardened criminals: all. The passing of Father Crowley, noted Priest and humanitarian, creates a void in the lives of many of the world life of San Francisco that will hard to fill. Many the successful man of today who owes his standing to the guiding influence of Father Crowly who shaped his career in youth. Honest, simple, a righteous man of God; his enduring monument is the hearts of those he served so well. A playground or park should be named for him. Well sir! The Orientals, particularly the Japanese, are having trouble solving the problems of "The Modern Youth." They say that, "their children have inherited more of the bad qualities of Japan and America than the good, and that unless efforts are exerted to curb this unwelcome tendency, a very serious question is likely to arise. It is said that they lack discipline, their attitude toward their parents is one of baughtness, and that they are themselves disappointed in life. --- There are two opposing views as to the methods used to correct these faults. One faction says that "to teach Japanese children, too much of Japanese life tends to retard their Americanization." The other faction says that "it is only American jingoist who demand that Japanese children, and that the majority of the Japanese are not able to extend to their children a home atmosphere such as is found in most American homes." Not assimilable but they have greater latitude than the American Negro. It is not generally known that the first statue of Abraham Lincoln ever erected in the world, which stood before the old Lincoln School building in San Francisco, it was destroyed in the fire, 1906. Mon- day, the 120th anniversary of his birth, the bronthe statue, by the Sculptor Hirg Patrigny, was presented to the city. A gift of the old "grads." Matters looked rather dubious for a white when the facilities of Kansas City were questioned. San Francisco and other cities stood waiting, but matters finally adjusted. With few exceptions the present incumbents of the California Legislature have given intention to stand for re-election to that body. With Charly-Alston, a candidate from the 75th Assembly District, the "gang" is waiting to see who the claimants for honors to be Nabott to the Pachydermy. It is to be hoped that no flasco will be made, and that we may not lose that which we have. The Hons, Perry Howard, Miss., and Benjamin Davis, Georgia, cannot pick some pseudo leader who will jump when they pull the string. Out West we're not going to have any of him. Whoever the chairman of the Republican National Committee may be notice be served that there will be national leaders to riot, riot and that ikl. There is already a lot of murmuring and whispering among the dark cohorts and it won't take much wind to fan the flame. This is true of the youngsters who are casting their first vote. They are thinking: One young lady asked this writer, "Don't you believe that party politics as it is today, is a matter or expediency, is a matter or sentiment, no spirituality; nothing but materialism," said she. If the Southern tail did not wak the Democrat dog, things might not be so bad over We have made it the rule never to praise or to condemn until absolutely sure that the recipient was worthy of commendation or deserved to be censured. Noticing the work of the Rev. H. Francis McClure, minister, St. Andrew's Church, Sacramento, Calif., one feels no hesitancy in saying that during the period or his service he has worked wonders. He has entered into the civic life of the community as has brought order out of chaos in the Church life. On coming to his charge from his warden, he displaced, forform four walls that he regarded the name of a House of Worship. The windows were broken out; the paper hung in shred from the walls, and if order is the first law of heaven, God can't be blamed for giving it the go by. Now, the metamorphosis: A thoroughly renovated church; memorial stained windows; remodeled building; beautiful mural painting and better than all, a capacity attendance at all church activities. Or course he did not accomplish this task. He was about about him a corps of loyal workers who complained where h' explained. As a church executive, Rev. McClure has a bright future, and it able to cope with the wiles of church politics will go far. POLYTECHNIC TO OPEN SPECIAL COURSE IN LAW DEPT.

STREET LIGHTING RATE REDUCED GAS AND ELECTRIC CORPORATION MAKES CUT OF 25 PER CENT Ornamental street lighting rates in the territory served by Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation will be reduced 25%, executive March 1, 1928, according to an announcement made by Addison B. Day Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Utility company. This action is in harmony with the policy of the Corporation to maintain rates for its commodities at as low a level as is consistent with furnishing the best possible service and at the same time making a reasonable investment. The necessary equipment, Mr. Day said, the present time the rate for ornamental street lighting is four cents per kilowatt hour for all energy consumed. Under the new schedule the rate will be three cents per kilowatt hour. "The Corporation's engineers and accountants," Mr. Day stated, "have made a study of the ornamental lighting rate, and the conclusion has been reached that the new rate of three cents per kilwatt-hour for that class of service will yield $1.25 per hour in investment." At the same time, of course, it will accord relief to the many thousands of citizens who pay for the maintenance of ornamental street lighting systems through the channels of assessment. This is becoming in- crossingly important, as the number of ornamental lighting districts is growing rapidly because of the popularity of that system of street illumination." If the other agencies supplying ornamental street lighting current follow the late cut established by Liaison Ontario and British Corporation, it is estimated that the lighting assessment payers of the city will reap an annual saving of more than $366,000. Suggestions For the Housewife Evaporated milk diluted with an equal measure of water may be used in any recipe in place of fresh milk. A fruit salad is more delicious if cut-up dates are added. Too much pressure when rolling pastry makes it tough. -GAS LOGIC To Lay Corner Stone for New Masonic Temple WEDNESAY, FEBRUARY 22d San Bernardino, Calif., Feb. 15,—The West Side Masonic Building Corporation" will lay the "Corner Stone" of their new TEMPLE, which is situated at the Southeast corner of 8th and Perris streets.

Insufficient Co-operation Los Angeles, Calif. 2-7-28. TO THE PUBLIC. Through the California Eagle. The most dangerous enemy to the American Negro of today is mistrust. It is imperative that we banish this demon, mistrust, from among us and bind each individual in the steel band of brotherly love. The proclivity of our race is suspicion and until we can subdue it we will be at a standstill neither progressing or declining. The race rises gradually little by little, we are coming into our own, but we would ascend more rapidly if we only gave our business men complete co-operation. Co-operation is the keynote to success, so that if we once get the word firmly in our mind, we will be a 100% race. We take our business to the white man. We should help boost our fellow man? by giving him emblems to settle. The white man employs white men for their office work, they succeed. We take our money to a white bank, are there any colored tellers there? We have our suits and clothing made by white men, do most of them hire colored help? We cry out at the injustices that are dealt to us, we must hold us in check. Let us strive to banish mistrust and dishandment from our minds, let us give our business to our men. We will make our men successful by cooperation, with which will come harmony and satisfaction. With this innovation of racial spirit will come Justice, the world will look with amazement at the sudden uprising of a once enslaved people, and will bring us the ungrudging applause of our white brother. For Co-operation, JULIUS T. WOODS. 411 Elwood Street. GUN BATTLE CAUSES FIVE DEATHS IN CHICAGO GUN BATTLE CAUSES FIVE DEATHS IN CHICAGO (By; A, N, P) Chicago, Feb. 15. With police car trans shrieking, the crack of revolver fire echoing and police rushing here and there. Thirty-fifth street, near Indiana avenue, reked of the riot days we were Thursday afternoon as a gunman and two officers battled to death in a second-story flat at 131 East 35th St. The battle was a culmination of an怒 of killing in which Ross Elliott, age 24, was the chief participant. The officers, jerseyed man, a gunman and Keegan, had gone to Elliott's apartment to arrest him on a murder charge. When they arrived on the second floor they were admitted by Nathan Elliott, the brother of the fugitive, who informed the officers that Ross was not there. A rolling of the eyes toward a closed door aroused the suspicion of the officers, and Keegan rushed the door. He was met by a stream of shots, four of which pierced his body. Fall mortally wounded. Murphy stopped in the breach and the gunman and officer shot it out at close quarters. When reinforcements arrived they found Murphy dead, Elliott and Keegan an dying, and Nathalie Elliott, who was caught in the cross-fire, seriously injured. KILLED TWO IN MORNING Elliott's rampage had its beginning early Thursday morning when he went to the Omaha Packing Company to see if he could regain his job which he lost in October. His old place was denied him, and as he walked out of the gate, he met James Ellis, who is alleged to have caused his discharge. A quarrel ensued and Elliott whipped out a "luger" and killed Ellis. Charles Miller, a 63-year old white man, attempted to stop Elliott, and was killed. Another victim was Donald McNeilly, who was struck by a stray bullet. Follow the shooting in the morning Elliott died to his apartment and to the battle to death. An inspection of the "Luger" showed that Elliott had fired eight times and an examination of the bodies of the officers showed that each had been struck four times. The battle took place in a dimly fighter back room of the second floor apartment and pandemonium reigned in the district for a time. North Carolinians Stage Man Hunt --- Bv: A. N. P.) Thomasville, N. C., Feb. 15. —A lynching is in the air and here all "big yellow Negroes" are keeping close as a result, or the killing of policemen Lev. Reddick and J. D. Morgan here Monday. The officers are reported to have been killed in which the Negro assailant was riding. Eye-witnesses testified that the shooting was done by, "a big yellow Negro" and that he escaped on foot. When the report was circulated that two white men had been killed by a colored man, feeling great tense and a thousand men joined in the man's description given by the witness were in danger as they knew the mob wanted to kill somebody as vengeance for the killing of the white man. The ill-feeling extended over the entire section and only the fact that the Chief of Police, W. F. Doby, of Darham, intervened, prevented Bossie Young from being carried from the back to Thomasville and probable death. Young had been positively identified by a white man as the slayer of the officers and was being led away by officers from Thomasville when the chief of police stepped in. He ordered the prisoner placed in custody, calling officers that Young had been arrested by officers in Durham, Monday, and could not have been in Thomasville at the time of the killing. Men and blood hounds are scouring criminals, criminals, criminals, whom many believe is white. Friday, February 17, 1928 Chicago, Ill. Feb. 14.—Churches throughout the country prayed for the abolition of tyranny in America, Sunday, which was designated as "Race Relations Sunday." Hours were spent in the scout to evoke Divine aid in the eradication of this evil which has snuffed out the lives of more than 4,000 people. Entreaties were made that God purge the country of race prejudices, and other attitudes that make strife; that the church of Christ may gain standard of alms and values more in accord with the spirit of Christ; that none need live in fear of violence or harm; that his brother's presence and that a deepened sense of the Divine Fatherhood and consequently of our human brotherhood may be born in all the people.

An unwillingness to deal harshly with Negroes who, were brought before him for shooting craps, was expressed by Police Judge Nettles here Wednesday because the poker players from the white sections were never arrested. According to the judge it was not fair to arrest Negroes for shooting craps as long as poker players were arrested in the fashionable white residential district. SUNDAY WASDAY OFDAYS AT WHITE SOX BASEBALL PARK Sunday, February 12th will live in Winter League baseball history as a day of days. A big Field Day with track records shattered, celebrities as honor guests, band concerts and n doubleheader game, the last one of which sent the crowded grand stands into a wild cheering, cushion-throwing, and mob that lingered till dark to discuss the exciting features of the game. On the list of honor guests were Geo. Godfrey, Paulino Uzadun, Jack Kearns, Mickey Walker, Shiek Gardner, Bojingles Robinson and a number of other highlights of track, field, stage and screen. The day began with a program with the Forresters band in attendance. Then a game was played between Pirrone's All-Stars and the Haldale Giants in a massacre for Hilldale with 11 points to Pirrone's 1. The Field Day events were then held with contestants from the white team and the two colored teams competing. The results were as follows: 100 yard dash—Dixon, 1st; Thomas, 2nd; Time, 10 seconds flat; Circling Bases—Thomas, 1st; Pirrone, 2nd; Time, 14 seconds. Long Distance Baseball Throw—Allen and Dixon, tie; winner of tie. Dixon, Accurate Throwby by Catchers—Mackey, winner. Pulen, second. Handicap race—(Bill Bolanges) Robinson winning 75 yards backward beat field or runners making 100 yards forward. CLEVELAND-HILLDALE TIE 55. The second game was the day's clima- played between Hildale Giants and the Cleveland Stars. A two-bagger by Stevens in the first failed to tally, and the Giants made the first score in the 2nd, and one more in the 3rd, but a run by Allen and a home run by Holloway tied that. Another run by Warfield in the 5th made 3 for the Giants, Cleveland 2. The Giants coasting along then looked sure winners till a hit by Wells drove Allen Holloway and Mothal in home for 3 digits. 5 to 3. it stood then with things leaking bad for the Giants and almost dark enough for light. But, Jo and behold, Hubbard brought in one, from a base hit and Beckwith quickly followed with the longest home run of the season, a hit that soared away over centerfield fence. As the score tied again, saving the day for Hildale, whom the fans consider the home team, the whole vast assemblage went roaring wild. Cushions and hats were thrown out on the diamond till the ground was covered. The game was called on account of darkness and the crowd filed out still cheering at the best game of the season. Cleveland is still a little ahead in the pennant race and the play off will commence soon as the season in near its end.

Jack Thompson Loses SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.—Young Corbett of Fresno, gave young Jack Thompson, Los Angeles Negro welterweight, a sound drubbing in a 10-round main event bout here. Eddie Moore, Colored Amarilo, Tex. boy, on Main St. Card CHAVEZ VS. BOLO. BOY ON TOP Boxing a dangerous 140-pound white boy, Mike Lewis, Eddie Moore, who hails from the plains of Amarillo, Texas, bites the semi-windup to Benny Chavez and Boole Boy at Main St. A. C., Saturday night, February 18th. Moore has a bag of ring tricks that keeps the spectators buckling their eyes and is fast as lightning likewise a heavy hitter. He got one of those Yanger-Nyland-Randolph decisions in his first bout here and lack of proper management has kept him back since here, but he is billed to come on up now from this new start, and new managers. Benny Chavez in the top spot is one of the few boys who hold a win over Darlo Baron. He is doped to beat the Boole Boy in a rattling 8 round main event. The card is as follows: Main Event, Benny Chavez, 130 lbs. 8 rounds, vs. Boole Boy; Semi-windie, Eddie Moore, 140 lbs. 4 rounds, vs. Mike Lewis; Special Event, Cecil Bennett, 142 lbs. 4 rounds, vs. Charley McClintock; Young Lance, 145 lbs. 4 rounds, vs. Mike Gallizen; Tudy Jigar, 118 lbs. 4 rounds, vs. Fee Wes Nolan. Now that the whole country is intently interested in walkers and runners, the name of Dan O'Leary comes A. S. S. The World's Champion Walker for many, many years. He is 89 years old and still going strong. to mind as the most famous name in the history of pedestrianism. Beginning next issue the story of his famous exploits, how he brought Frank Hart, famous Negro trackman from England to win the U. S. championship and many other interesting memoirs will be published in this section. RUTH ROLAND, famous movie star, Barbara Bennet and Ben Bard appeared in person at the Lincoln Mid-Nite Show on Saturday last. Miss Holland made a short talk, Ben Bard had everybody splitting their sides over one of his imitative jokes. Carrol in the Chiton and Thomas act was great and a large crowd enjoyed the big show. # BABY GANS, Jack Thompson, Sailor or Larry, Mack House, Young Harry Wills and a few other California boys were the talk of the country. They were all undefeated then. Since that time all of them have suffered losses by fair means or foul. THEY are all using their best to fight back up to the top, where the air is clear and the money is good. As usual, though, when their names fade away from the headlines of other publications they need not worry, we will still pull for them 100% strong. If they do not appreciate, perhaps their friends will. ALL other races are loyal to each other. They also think more of those who are loyal to their own race; who tell them of their faults and help them to mend them. By the way, do you know Snowflake Wright? A great boy that. Won a mile and lost by color. He'll make it though and he won't, at the big head. Sammy Jim Williams, just back from Australia and Roy (Ace) Clark are now stars of the Miller stable. They will do big things in the near future directed by their able manager. Now that we have colored runners in Pylo's 48,000 Pedogram, let's all razie.

Y. Thence around the track twenty times to see who's who and who pays income tax on that $25,000 that C. C. Pyle, the greatest promoter of all time is giving to the first to finish the last lap. Following the intention of this publication to help in whatever way possible to secure representation of the Race in this great race of the Races, Eddie Gardner, just arrived from Seattle, was chosen after examination by an Eagle representative, and pronounced at the most-likely prospect on the grounds, Messra Watson Burns and Jas Akers agreed to back him and he was immediately signed into camp. Eddie has for four years won the police and fireman's marathon or 10 miles. He brought a suitcase full of clippings from many publications telling of his exploits on the track beating some of the best runners of the country. The Spelling company fitted him out and gave him a letter of credit for replenishment of his outfit. Eddie has a wife and two children in Seattle who wish him God's speed SAMMY ROB"NSON COMES FROM ATLANTIC CITY Comes Sammy Robinson from 2008 Blaine avenue, Atlantic City. The Atlantic City Press, a leading daily, backed him and sent also a check for $300 to him for expenses in training. Robinson stayed at the Y. M. C. A. during training season.

The New York commission suspend- ed everyone connected with Delaney while Paulino, supposed to be then off- ender, was not even set down. Ed. Lane, Colored Rider At Horse Show. Wins All Events As the bands blared under the brilliant lights of the gaily decorated auditorium of the Ambassador Hotel last Friday, as millionaire club men, and business men looked on from boxes filled with fashionably gowned women—the cream of society—into the arena galloped Ed. Lane, on Willielle the famous Hawaiian breed heavyweight jumper and newest addition to the Frank stables. Taking brush, picket wall and all the most difficult jumps like a great hound, the noble horse and his able rider won first prize over his thoroughbred competitors. ED. IS LAST GREAT COLORED RIDER RIDER Friday's triumph on practically a new horse was only a repetition of what Ed. had done all week on other more experienced horses of the stable he stars, and on Saturday capped the climax by winning the $2000 sweep stakes. Following this event harness horses of the Frank Stables, driven by Mr. Sullivan won an event, a 3-hour entry or pony carts was won by Mrs. Lula Long Combs, and a team event by Mrs. Hoth. Scattered through the throng were considerable number of colored people who displayed great interest in the contests, many of which were quite exciting. Ed. Lane is perhaps the last of the great colored managers, riders, and trainer of fine stables of thoroughbred horses. He has been known from coast to coast during the long years he has followed the profession, completing his education in horse training under the famous Jack Hamilton in 1916. Twenty years ago and he was in charge of the Clarence Levine stables of Avon, N.Y. During that time he has trained and developed in winners such as Rotham, Outlaw, Batam, Mountain, Black Watch, Queen's Own, See Warden, Cable, Frank Kierce and many others.

The worst Dundee should have gotten was a draw by virtue of the fact that with the first round even, after the 6th round Dundee piled up sufficient lead to have coped the decision. "SNOW-FLAKE" WRIGHT ROBBED A The desire of the average fan for justice sent up a big chorus of boos and catcalls as Oscar (Snow-Flake) Wright was deliberately robbed or a clear win over Tom Moore. Three times on quick succession the Chicago boy who hails originally from Capetown, South Africa, dropped Moore to the canvas, and 4 knock-downs count he won by a mile, regardless of the fact that Moore was still on his feet at the end or the 6 round special event. Elias Contere took a decision from Mike Holland in one of the preliminaries and in the opener Ray Cloz lost a good fight to Johnny, Cruz.

HUmbolt 6180-J GELES, CALIFORNIA Super-Service Station J. W. COOPER ington and Compton Avenue Los Angeles, Calif. Super-Service Station J. W. COOPER on and Compton Avenue Los Angeles, Calif. We meandered down to Watts one day last week and spent the afternoon looking over its subjects and found some folks that had really found themselves, to wit: There was our old friend, Earl Roberts, well known on the Avenue and in the automobile circle around Los Angeles several years ago, married to a splendid wife, settled down and operating the most unique eating, house in Watts known as the Cosey Barn Cafe. It's worth anyone's time to stop in and see what this young man and his loyal wife have worked up to from nothing. While in this neighborhood we visited the Knox Realty Co., another worthwhile business conducted by one of our group and found it doing business in a business way; housed in a modern brick building of the latest design. This same building housed the Watts branch of the Golden State Insurance Co. and also Attorney Beeks law office. --- From here we hopped over to Compton Blvd. and attacked the main entrance of Houston's Drug Store. Gaining admittance we recognized the proprietor as Fred Houston. We knew him of yesterday when he was too young to wear long pants. Years have passed. They call him Doc Houston now, a title usually acquired by all practicing pharmacists. Here is a young man making the supreme sacrifice to build up a business and making good. We chatted a hit and passed on to Butford's Service Station and were glad to see progress and prosperity here. The Butfords are landmarks in Watts. Taking on gas we motored further along. The one sad sight that greeted our eyes was the abandoned, unfinished brick building started a year or more ago to house a well known fraternal organization. In brief, it's a disgrace to permit such a condition to exist. We hurried by lest our previous favorable opinion gained by the afternoon visit be changed. Watts reminds one of the ugly duckling-story as we note what it was yesterday and what it is today with its modern homes, paved thoroughfares and progressive business dotting the streets. As we made our exit from the city after visiting several other businesses we passed the beautiful home of the Prowd family. There are few persons but who know Dr. Prowd, that scholarly, dignified appearing minister of the gospel who has contributed so much to the cause of Christianity. Tima robbed us of a chance to call. And now, as the sun disappeared over the western horizon and Lizzie rolled toward home our thought lingered and we longed that time would be kind and hasten the day when we should be able to return and see the rest. Last Sunday Pickens held forth at Pico and Paloma as did Lincoln at Gettesburg. Those who were not there missed a treat and from the looks of parked gatos 'twas a cosmopolitan crowd that greeted him. We wish to congratulate those who had charge of the program for the brevity of preliminary arrangements and numbers, and on the other hand pass the plate earlier. We're glad to see Rev. Shaw in traffic again. Fountain Brown was visible last Sunday for the first time, since he changed autos. Don't be so seclusive. Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Atkins were seen mobilizing on the Avenue last Sunday, uite strangers. T. J. Hooper was a welcome motor visitor last week. visitor last week. James Garrot and Sammy Bowman motored up to Big Bear last Friday and spent the week-end in the snow, skating and snow balling. They report a wonderful trip. MANHATTAN—Few have forgotten the way traffic officers in this app parent unicivilized burg treated Negro motorist a year or so ago. Things were patched up. It was hoped permanently but the enemy has launched a new attack from the rear as usually cowards and cathroats do. Homes are being burned and respectable folks shot at according to reports as a price for insisting on their constitutional rights, of living where they choose. But the Nerro has demonstrated one thing that it might: we well for Manhattan or any other place to remember:—he's no coward, and he's going to live where he owns and it he can't live then he's willing to die there. The time has passed when a minority group with the atmosphere of legal protection/cog humiliate and drive him from his home. On with the Dance! Manhattan isn't the only place that has started something they could not finish. HAVE YOU BEEN TAGGED Have you been tagged for violating traffic laws. Just now there is concentrated drive on to tag those who try to sneak across the street after the stop signal has registered its stop warning. Men and women are being hailed into court for this infraction of traffic law. "Better be safe than sorry, so park your car till the go sign is visible," says Officer Hendricks. Unofficial reports are being circulat- that a Berendo street citizen has purchased a Stutz line eight. Seeing is believing. We are yet to see. A Few Places to Motor With the pleasant weather Southern California is enjoying the motoring public is anxious to leave home and the fireside for the open air. "Among some of the many beautiful drives we have in this vicinity" says Mr. Cooper of Arrowhead Service Station, "are Big Bear, Santa Barbara or San Diego, Mulholland Drive, Hollywood Trail and Griffith Park, Down to the ocean, Eureka Villa, Elslnore and many more. Go to one of our many picnic parks dotting Los Angeles or drive through the beautiful residential section that Los Angeles has and one will be well compensated for the time put in and benefitted by the atmosphere. Again the annual Auto Show is at hand and thousands of dollars are being spent in preparations for it. The worth anyone's time if you have never seen it to attend and see what has been accomplished in an industry less than 30 years old. Annual Statement Yellow and Checker Cab Company (CONSOLIDATED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1927 TO THE STOCKHOLDERS: The net profit for the year 1927, before taxes payable in 1923, was $205,701.51, or 1.414 times dividend requirements. EARNINGS Gross revenue for the period was $3,807,362.09. Expenses, including operating overhead and administration, were $3,250,632.21. After deducting these charges an operating net revenue of $556,679.88 remained, from which a liberal depreciation charge of $362,978.37 was taken. Balance remaining for dividends and other purposes amounted to $203,701.51. Net revenue, after making provision for depreciation, but before Federal Income Taxes, was equivalent to $1.13 per share on all Class A Common Stock outstanding, which was $0.33 per share in excess of dividend requirements. The year saw the rounding out of the Company's organization and the better training of its personnel. It is the belief of the management that the organization is today one of the best in the cab business. In June the Company took possession of a second fine garage in San Francisco with a capacity for 400 cabs, giving it in all good facilities for the housing and servicing of 700 cabs in the city. A new garage for 100 cabs in Hollywood was being moved into at the close of the year and new shops and offices for the organization in Los Angeles were near completion. volume of business in the southern metropolitan center. SURPLUS: Net surplus gain was $59,698.02. This was after full dividend payments of $244,003.49. Total net surplus, in including appropriation made for sinking fund purposes, but before Federal Income Taxes payable in 1928, amounted to $144,273.47. CURRENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Our statement for the year 1927 shows a Current Assets to Liabilities ratio of one to one. This ratio would have been better than two to one if the purchase of 150 new cabs in November, at a cost of $260,451.99, had been delayed until after the close of the accounting period. Experience in the cab business has demonstrated that the most favorable time for the addition of new equipment is just prior to the winter peak of business. If this continues to hold true, as it probably will, and your Company buys cabs accordingly, each recurring annual statement for a period ending December 31, will reflect improperly the true and substantial ratio of your Company's Current Assets to Liabilities. For this reason, your President is going to recommend to the Board of Directors that the fiscal year be changed to run from November 1 to October 31. An annual statement of your Company for a year ending October 31, 1927, would show a Current Assets to Liabilities ratio of better than two to one. FINANCING No additional stock was issued during the year. PLANT INVESTMENT The cost to the Company of cabs owned on December 31, 1927, was $1,588,722.16, against which was accrued a depreciation provision of $403,455.75, leaving a conservative book value of $1,185,286.41 as of December 31, 1927. The Company owned garage, shop, service cast, office, and other equipment, which cost the Company $123,608.81, against which was accrued a depreciation provision of $43,974.85, leaving a book value on December 31, 1927, of $79,633.96. CAB DEPRECIATION Cah. depreciation was provided for on a basis of 2c for every mile run by each cab. This provision is one-half cent greater than that made by other large cab companies and assures the future advantage of having no obsolete equipment in the Company's operation. REAL ESTATE The Company had a lease on garage property at 2208-2212 Temple street, Los Angeles, to run to March 15, 1949, at an annual rental of $5,520. On February 9, 1927 the Company purchased this property for $60,040, paying $30,040 in cash and giving a mortgage of $30,000 for the balance. DIVIDENDS Dividends on all Class-A Common Stock were paid monthly at the rate of 8% per annum. TAXES During the year the Company disbursed for taxes and license fees $49,553.95. Federal income taxes payable in 1928 are estimated at $29,000. This will make a total for taxes and license fees of $78,553.95. GROWTH IN BUSINESS During the year, the cabs of the Company brought in a revenue of $3,761,615.01, an increase of $77,218.24 over 1826. The number of passengers transported was 7,586.700. The average length of the trip was 3.57 miles and the average fare $0.328 per trip. From one to five passengers ride for one fare in any cah of the Company. An increasing use of cabs by women was noted and also a marked spread in the demand for cah service through the cities in which the Company operates. New cabs to the number of 150 put in service by the Company in Los Angeles in December, were of the latest limousine type, uncolored in rich velour and propelled by eyecylinder motors. Public response to the improved service has been gratifying. EMPLOYEES During the year the Company paid out in wages and salaries $1,913,044.30, or 50.25 cents out of every dollar of income. At the close of business on December 21, 1927, the Company had 866 stockholders. PROPOSED CHANGE IN PAR VALUE OF STOCK Shares of the Company have a par value of $10. It will be proposed to the Stockholders at a special meeting called for Tuesday, February 21, 1928, that the par value be changed to $50. This would put the stock more in keeping with the position of the Company and make its shares more attractive to investors, as the $60 par value would out the costs incident to buying and selling shares of your company four-fifth of what they are with the stock on a $10 par value basis.

Batteries the Life of Automobiles "When a man wants a battery for his car, he wants a good one, and he wants it right away," says the general sales manager of the Credit Tire Company. "Waiting even for a few days until he has the ready money in his pocket may allow four or five times the cost of the battery. Moreover there is no reason why an automobile owner shouldn't use his battery while he pays for it, just as he pays for his car while driving it, or his house while living in it. "Batteries, like tires, always seem to 'go out' at the most inconvenient times. Fortunately, it is just at such times, when renewal is least convenient, that the selling plan devised by the Credit Tire Company and operated at all their ten Southern California stores, for batteries as well as for the famous Hood tires, is most conventient.
