1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 VOLUME 41 LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1928 No. 39 Baptists After an all day session the Baptist ministers hearing the charges of Hersey against Dr. J. D. Gordon, eminent pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church called it a day and adjourned from further deliberations until March 5th I P. M.; the Second Baptist Church 2nd and Griffin Ave. The hearing was called on yesterday at 9:30 however it was quite 2 P. M. until the wrangling was at an ebb to allow the trial to proceed. Afternoon—it was decided that Rev. Gordon be given privilege to state everything without interruption and then after he had finished the ministers to ask questions, if they so desired and after the answering of these questions, the ministers went into a separate room to decide the issue. This suggestion was made by Rev. W. D. Carter and passed. The secretary, read the allegations which were: 1. That Rev. Gordon denied the stoning blood of Christ. 2. That Rev. Gordon denied the resurrection of the body. 3. That Rev. Gordon says that the new testament is not the gospel of Christ. 4. That Rev. Gordon believed that Dr. Shields was Lord and Master, and that he, Rev. Gordon believed in spiritualism. 5. That Rev. Gordon has spewed the Baptist principles out of his system. The Baptist minister's union, instituted the charges. Rev Gordon was then given the floor, and he took the allegations in this order. First, that by saying that he had spewed the Baptist doctrine out of his system, he meant that all the principles as set down by various theologians, because they were merely men like he himself and had their own opinions as he had his own. That he believed in the new testament, regeneration, persistence of the saints, that he was not obligated to the theologians, but took his gospel from the scripture. Second, that he did say that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's records were not the doctrine of God, that they were only the record of the Gospel. Third, that is speaking of spirits he believed in them to the extent that God Himself is a spirit and that "we must worship Him in spirit and in truth." That God referred to us as spirits when He said, "ye know not what manner of spirits we are." He said that when a man comes in contact with the departed it is spiritualism, and that he, Dr. Gordon had not done that as yet. It was rumored that he said that he had had messages from Shields, but the only communication that he had had with Shields was when Mr. Shields was alive and about 3 months before his death. Fourth, that he does not believe in the resurrection of the natural body but that he did believe in the resurrection of the spiritual body, for the scripture said that "flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom—" Fifth, that he did not say that Shields was the Lord and Master or claim him as God, but that he be believed that everyone was a little God as we were made in the image of God. He closed by saying that he had built a fortress of solid iron during his 25 years, here and that he adorned the man that had the courage to come up against it, but that he could always prove his statements, and further how could a person be tried on a subject of which every man has his own personal viewpoints. Questions were then asked by the various ministers and at 4 o'clock, the ministers retired to an ante room to come to a verdict. They returned at 5:20 with the report that "owing to lack of time, it was recommended that the conference recess to meet Monday, March 5, at 1 o'clock at the Second Baptist Church." We have impartially given the facts as presented at this hearing. In a later issue we shall give our deductions in which we will "how to the line, let the chips fall where they may." MOORE WINS BUT LOSES (By: A. N. P.) New York, N. Y., Feb. 25.—A scheduled six-round contest at the Olympia A. C., Jimmy Moore, popular middleweight of California, was robbed of a light by the judges verdict, giving the victory to Jimmy's white opponent Joey Kimmel. Commercial Board Demand Competitive Bid for Lighting Thus the rate reduction for ornamental street lighting recently announced by Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation has aroused public interest is indicated by the action taken by the Commercial Board of Los Angeles on Monday, February 27. At that time the directors of this important business organization, whose membership included all classes of representative firms in the community, after considerable discussion of the subject adopted strong resolutions calling for competitive bidding on ornamental street lighting. The letter of the Commercial Board, addressed to the City Council, and including the text of the resolutions passed, follows: To the Honorable City Council of the City of Los Angeles. Los Angeles, California. Gentlemen: at a meeting or the Directors of Commercial Board of Los Angeles held on February 27th, a full discussion took place relative to charges made for ornamental street lighting in the city of Los Angeles. It was brought out that effective March 1, 1928, Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation would reduce the rate for energy and maintenance from 4c per kilowatt hour to 3c per kilowatt hour, but that the Bureau of Power and Light has not met this reduction, and therefore the assessment payers cannot at this time secure the advantage of this twenty-five per cent reduction in rate because all of the ornamental lighting business is turned over to the Bureau of Power and Light without their being required to bid for such business. A resolution was adopted and we respectfully request that your Honorable Body take such action as will insure the securing of ornamental lighting service at the lowest rate offered. The resolution adopted was as follows: WHEREAS ornamental street lighting service, including maintenance, is now offered to the city of Los Angeles. Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation for 3c per kilowatt hour, which is twenty-five per cent cheaper than the rate now charged by others supplying this character of service; and WHEREAS a saving of over $300,000 per year will accrue to the assessment papers by giving sald payers of ornamental street lighting assessments such service at 3c instead or at the present rate of 4c per kilowatt hour; and WHEREAS ornamental street lighting service for energy and maintenance is not at this time open for competitive bidding, sald business being turned over to the Bureau of Power and Light at the higher rate. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Commercial Board of Los Angeles instruct its Secretary to bring these facts to the attention of the City Council of the city of Los Angeles with a request that said City Council take immediate action to have ornamental lighting service, including both energy and maintenance, thrown open for competitive bidding, or in lieu thereof, to give all such business to the company having the lowest rate for this character of service. Yours very truly, COMMERCIAL BOARD OF LOS ANGELES, By: L. D. Stacey, Secretary. L. A. Examiner Breathes Race Hatred Race hatred received a new stimulus in Thursday's issue of the Examiner, when the editor declared that it was a disgrace for a Negro to fight a white man. It was not a disgrace for Crispus to spill the first blood on Boston Common for freedom. It was not a disgrace for Negroes 400,000 strong to uphold the honor of Uncle Sam in the late world war, but says the Examiner's Editor it is an indication of a demoralizing situation in California for a white man to fight a Negro. Such an altitude on the part of this Heart paper is a blot on white decency, but then we are reminded that durils the late world war this periodical was considered Pro-German, and now we consider it Pro-idecent and predict that such propaganda will not be misunderstood in the slightest degree, and it is but to play into the hands of the lowest degenerates of mankind. Prominent Couple Spring Big Wedding Surprise The fruition of a romance amid a setting in keeping with the carefully designed and executed finale to the utter surprise of the legions of friends and acquaintances of the happy couple which we will hereafter name. The story runs as you read. About thirty or more days ago a party of five consisting of Dr. Ruth Temple, her sister Vivian; Mrs. Hazel Temple and little daughter Milonee; Mr. Otis L. Banks motored to Monterey and Pacific Grove, truly there was nothing unusual in this situation neither was there much advertisement or thought given to the mysterious Paul MRS. OTIS L. BANKS—NEE DR. RUTH TEMPLE Revere ride when Mr. Banks' Packard was forced to do 70 miles to the County Seat at Salinas after arriving in Monterey. However as we further go the party returned to Los Angeles leaving Dr. Temple and Sister Vivian for a delightful and pleasing vacation such as horse back riding Academy, walks amid the tall trees of the Pacific Grove forest, attending the International polo games, which were participated in by Spanish Royalty at the old Del Monte Gun Club polo grounds, visiting time honored historic places in the near Monterey, also California's first theatre, oldest lighthouse on the coast and cypress trees of the noted 17 mile drive. Mystery Solved Great was the surprise therefore when returning with Mr. O. L. Banks there came Mrs. A. R. Temple the mother of Dr. Temple, Miss Eythel Temple her younger sister, picks up Doctor Temple and sister Vivian and motor again to Salinas the County Seat and then and there was unfolded the object of that Paul Revere ride. For her in this quaint little northern city clad in a beautiful sand colored ensemble, with hat and shoes to match Dr. Ruth Temple became the bride of Otis L. Banks and from here hiked to the entrancing city Carmel By The Sea to the most beautiful little cottage in the world. The soul of pictures quietness nestled among green shrubbery and looking directly out to the deep blue of the ocean at Carmel. To this spot the happy couple had chosen well indeed for their honeymoon. Couple Well, Known Dr. Ruth Temple has been a practising physician and surgeon in this city since 1913.

A big monoplane carrying eight people will start the air line between Sacramento and San Francisco. It will make the trip in one hour, and the fare will be $8.00. Several of the boys are talking about taking the hot "down to the city." It won't be long before a reduction of fares will cause a number of planes to be placed for the flight.

NEELY of Los Angeles being duly sworn, des: That on Monday July 20, 1928, at 11:00 in street and Central Angeles, California, heete left-hand turn with intersection of said noticed a car approach-car with no distinguish-police car. That he about an approximate city (20) miles an hour block when the car, stead of North, during which time Officer Caldwell proceeded to hammer him like a wild beast. Then he grabbed and held the officer's hands and told him that the realized that he was a police officer and that he was under arrest and that there was no reason for the officers beating him in that manner. That the officer continued to beat him until they approached 25th street and Central Avenue when he seized the officer's hands in such a manner that he was rendered helpless. Then the officer commanded the officer who was driving to stop and help him "kill that nigger." The car was stopped immediately and the officer driving the car pulled him out of the car while he was still holding Officer Caldwell's hands. The other officer then struck him over the head with his black-jack, causing a laceration of the scalp and rendering him almost unconscious. He then cried out for help several times. A crowd gathered almost immediately, among them several persons whom he knew. One of the asked the officers not to hit him over the head with the black-jack, that he was not an unruly fellow and would be willing to go to trial with them. That they then placed him in the car and turned around and headed North thence to Newton Street Station. Upon arriving at the Station, he was showed into the office of the Captain. Then Officer Caldwell and several other officers asked him questions, consecutively, each dealing him a smashing blow with the answers which were given truly and sensibly. Then he was searched and finger-printed, and asked questions. That he was placed in a cell by officer Caldwell acting turn-key, who returned in about ten minutes later with a very large young police officer, who implored him to please let him in to that cell, and let him beat him up, and that this officer "would teach that black—— how to respect and to talk to a white police officer." Then, after a period of ten minutes beating with black-lack and fists the two giants left, only to return about fifteen giants left, only to return an giant who repeated the same attack. He was then left alone grooming in pain and partly unconscious. About thirty minutes later the same arresting officer returned to the cell with a traffic citation No. 33847 (1345) for him to sign, which he did, accusing him of violating California Vehicle Act, Section 130A, 87-B and 132. Later he placed a charge of resisting an officer against him. About the same time he was being finger-pinned in the hall of the police station, which is directly behind the office he Walter L. Neely Makes Affidavit to be Presented to Police Commission State of California) 88 County of Los Angeles) WALTER L. NEELY of Los Angeles, California, being duly sworn, deposes and says: That on Monday night, February 20, 1928, at 11:00 o'clock at 24th street and Central Avenue, Los Angeles, California, he made a complete left-hand turn with his car at the intersection of said streets and noticed a car approaching from the rear with no distinguishing sign of a police car. That he drove on at about an approximate speed of twenty (20) miles an hour for about one block when the car, which proved to be a police car, overtook him. They yelled to him and asked, in very rough language if he didn't see their red light; to which he replied that their red light was not burning when he made the turn. Then the two (2) officers in the police car ordered him with curses to pull over to the curb. He complied immediately, but before he could bring his car to a complete stop one of the officer Caldwell, Badge No. 847, had jumped upon the running board of his car, grabbed him in the collar and said, "You black jail." He told him that he would go. By that time, the driver of the police car had opened the rear west door of the police car and Officer Caldwell booted him into said police car. Upon being seated in the car, he saw on the East side of Central Avenue a garage man and friend, HARBY JACK SCN, whom he called to and asked to come over and get his keys, take his car and notify his wife and MR. DECK ARD, a friend; that the police had him and were taking him to jail. The officer driving the police car implied that Mr. Jackson had better stay where he was and keep out of it. Then he asked Mr. Jackson to come down to the police station and get his keys, thinking that they would immediately take him to jail. But upon hearing the police officer say, "Let take this nigger out in the sticks and beat him to death," the car proceeded South in 1 South L. A. Citizens Going Forward in Work of Organization South L. A. Citizens Going Forward in Work of Organization BACKS UP CITIZENS FIGHT FOR CHEAPER TRANSPORTATION It is inspirational indeed to attend the meetings of the lately organized Citizens Council and Industrial League of South Los Angeles, formerly Watts before its annexation to the city of Los Angeles. The last meeting on last Monday night was largely attended, in fact, Macedonia. Baptist Church was filled to its capacity all of whom were intensely interested on the problems which come in its wake. The transportation problem is being handled in a business like way. The Committee on Transportation made its report, which was indeed a high credit it and it could be clearly seen that the problem is moving on to a happy solution. It is not perhaps the right thing to do to make public the plans of the League along this line, but suffice to say the Committee is making rapid progress through the co-operation of the people from all sources and is well on its way for a solution of the transportation proposition in which all people will receive a fair and square deal. The Citizens Council and Industrial League is organized for just such purposes of taking care of the various propositions which come up from time to time. The President Rev. C. P. Jones, gave a very illuminating and inspiring explanation of its purposes on last Monday evening. Sixty-four new members were added to the roll. The League appreciated very much the co-operative spirit of the Los Angeles Forum which sent a full committee of five persons with greetings and to say to the League that the Forum stood ready to co-operate with it to the fullest extent. Quite a deal of business was transacted and the following standing Committees appointed: Constitution and By-Laws—Rev. M. R. Curtis; L. R. Jackson; Fred A. Houston; Rev. Thompson; Mrs. C. A. Bass.

LA VOLENTE FAIRE CLUB The meeting of the La Volente Faire Club was held Sunday, February 19th at the residence of Marjorie Johnson. The main issue discussed was the ra ing of a box of candy. The program manager presented a short program at the close of the meeting. saw several witnesses to the occurrence, his wife and Mr. Deckard came into the police station and ask if he could be bailed out. The desk sergeant, Jack Phillips, retorted sharply that his bail would be $5,000.00. Then turning to his wife, Mrs. Neely, the Phillips asked his wife it he was drunk or full of dope. She answered by saying that; her husband never drank nor used dope. The Philpps replied to this, "If he did, you wouldn't admit it, because he's your MAN." That his wife stated that he was not her MAN, that he was her HUSBAND. The Philpps then said, "That is enough out of you! If you say anything else, we will put you in there and give you some of the same medicine." WALTER L. NEELY, Affent State of California County of Los Angeles Subscribed and sworn before me this 22nd day of February, 1828 EMMA LUE SAYERS Notary Public in and for the County of Los Angeles, State of California. On The Sidewalk By: C.A. B. IT has been announced by the dallies that Wednesday, March 7, Chicago is to have a day of prayer—"To lead the city our of the Wilderness of Crime." Since Chicago has taken the lead in committing crime, it is well that she should lead off with a day of prayer for the eradication of crime. But then one cannot hope to be relieved of a great toothache by breaking off the tooth and leaving the root—Take out root and all, and then you will be truly relieved of the toothache. Neither Chicago nor our very own Los Angeles (not at all a back number in crime) can hope to rid themselves of crime by preying upon or praying for the criminals within our midst. We must get busy and remove the cause which we hold, is the gold-mad officials who satisfy their own selfish greed by bartering in crime. ON Monday morning, Policewoman Georgia Robinson invited us to come over to the Georgia Street Jail and look things over. About three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, we found time to comply with Mrs. Robinson's invitation and went to said jail. We were met at the iron gate by Ogle Glenn, and received a cordial invitation to enter. Upon entering, we were met by Mrs. Robinson who was as gracious in her reception as a lady in waiting upon her majesty, the Queen of England. We did not realize that we were visiting behind prison walls until we heard the great iron gate, clink behind us, and even then, after a brief interval, the atmosphere of a prison was dispelled when Policewoman Robinson escorted us into the "ladies" ward and introduced us to about twenty young women, most of whom in this particular ward, were colored. We had a little round table talk with the girls; found them to be very responsive, admitting that they had made mistakes and in some instances, declaring that they were going to try and mend their ways when the opportunity was again their's. Some things contingent upon this visit that impressed us most was the order and cleanliness of the Woman's Ward and the fact that some of these unfortunate women were not unmindful of kind treatment; for when we were about to leave some of them confided in us the Policewoman Robinson was very kind and considerate. BUT here is the sum and substance of this Jail visit—We discover that the number of Colored women law breakers are increasing daily and most of them are girls ranging in ages from fifteen to twenty. As we look the situation straight in the face, we are wondering just now, if our many Women's Clubs of the city realize just what part of the responsibility of this situation rests upon their shoulders? Are we truly lifting as we climb? PERHAPS the most significant event in the life of Bethel Church of Christ (Holiness) was the mortgage burning on last Sunday afternoon. The members of this church led by the damnless Bishop J. D. Washington, after a twelve year and nine months sacrifice, came together last Sunday afternoon in a meeting of great rejoicing, the event being the occasion of "The Mortgage Burning." Bethel Church, as a religious institution, holds a unique place in the community and Bishop Washington, its founder and leader, is one of the exceptional ministers in this city. In makeup, he is after the fashion of our conception of the Christ he represents, yes, truly is he a minister who walks more than he talks, among his people a living demonstration of the sort of Christianity he preaches. Among the visiting ministers present, were Bishop G. A. Colangs Rev. Moore, Rev. A. E. Liles, Rev. E. R. Driver, Rev. E. E. Lighthar, all of who mwished Bishop Washington and Bethel Church of Christ future success and great spiritual happiness. Sacramento, Calif., Fol. 3rd—Mr. Frank White, 504 beds in a hospital.

RAILROAD CLATTER By Joe Rakestraw HUGE CROWD PAYS RESPECTS TO VETERAN PORTER A huge crowd of men and women from all walks of life, crowded the Second Baptist Church, 24th and Griffith Avenue, Tuesday afternoon to pay their last respects to Mr. Dana. R. Payne, known to many as "Dad Payne" who died at his home, 647 E. 24th St. after an illness of two years. Rey T. L. Griffith, pastor, delivered the funeral eulogy. An evidence of the cemetery in which "Dad Payne" was held was attested by the numerous floral designs which surrounded his blen, the funeral was conducted under the auspices of Alpine Masonic Lodge, No. 1 of which the deceased was a member, he was a member of 2nd Baptist Church. Resolutions were read by Mr. Geo. S. Grant, Secretary of the Local Division of the "Botherhood of Sleeping Car Porters," and other organizations. Interment was in Rosedale Cemetery. A WAITER PLAYWRIGHT Back in the years' 1901 to 1906, Gar- land Anderson was a waiter on the Southern Pacific's Sunset Limited. Al- though he had only four years' schooling, he had determination and an eagerness to learn. He wanted to write and write well. Recently his play, "Appearances," was produced in Los Angeles, after having been produced on Broadway in New York, largely through his own efforts, attracting the attention of the theatrical critics Heywood Broun said of it: "The play has a strong appeal; not because its author is a Negro, not because it is the first drama, by a Negro which has appeared on Broadway, not because Anderson was a waiter, but because it contains eternal truths handled with great emotional power. PASSENGERS INJURED IN 1 SOO LINE LIMITED WRECK Several passengers were reported injured, some of them severely, when the two rear sleepers of the "Soo Line Limited" bound from Chicago to Duluth left the rails and fell from a viaduct into the state highway road four miles southeast of Gilman.

WITHIN THE LAW Without the aid of dynamite to get access to the High Moguls office of a local Commissary, Stewards and Walters have been holding conferences, behind closed doors for the past week, this official who has a unique way of thawing even an ice berg, assigns the victims who were caught in the net, of the "Flying Squad" to the "B" up and the "U" back, this heavy reduction in the force has caused 12th and Central to take on the appearance of a "Commissary Rail." ANOTHER EXPLANATION Rumor has linked the name of Miss Mary Duff who is a beauty in the superlative as a victim of Dan Cupid, this is a terrific blow to a certain U. P. Watter who has been making an extensive survey of (Patrimony and Matrimony), but fears alimony. STILL IN DOUBT An Owl, sitting on the locomotive of a Russian Vologda-Lenigrad express train, losing its balance, seized an air brake cock, and stopped the train. At least that's the engineer's story. U P. WAITER DIES SUDDENLY Jack Smith, waiter operating out of Omaha, Nebraska, died suddenly Wednesday night, while playing a friendly game of whist with friends in his home. Death was instantaneous due to acute indigestion. Jack was for merely of Kansas City and is survived by a widow, the Clatter extends sympathy to the bereaved in this her sad hour of sorrow. ALONG THE LINE Sheik Redmond of the Santa Fe, continues to hold his "Harem" in tact during his lay over period in the "Angel City." Since when did F. Scales get the cognomen of "Baby Scales," and we wonder why the baby, at that he may be a "Bottle Baby." Eleven waiters on the North end of the S. P. were recent victims of a "Neck Cutting Squad." The School of instruction being conducted on Southern Pacific Diner, under the supervision of Mr. P. D. Bacchus, taught Driving Cars continues to be well attended by employees of this road. A. Sims, Pullman Porter of this District is still confined to his home on account of illness. Eugene Johnson who is now with the (Great Northern Ry.) has established headquarters in Seattle, Washington. A very noticeable group of porters and waiters were in attendance at the Independent Church on last Sunday. This is indeed commendable and we hope that this spirit will continue. ORD IN SAFE OPERATION ALL of the previous records for safety in operation were surpassed by the Union Pacific System in 1927. According to information issued today by Carl R. Gray, President, injuries to the company's employees for the year were 2.44 per million working hours, as against 4.73 for 1926, a reduction of more than 27 per cent. There were no fatalities to passengers during the year and only sixteen personal injuries. MOPFAT TUNNEL TO BE OPENED TODAY The Moderan Tunnel, penetrating 4.2 miles into the Hudson River.

Zion Church, Pico and Paloma streets, will be the scene of the discussion of SIX of the most vital human problems of his age. No one in Los Angeles should miss hearing these vital subjects. You owe it to yourself. Beginning, February 5th at 11:00 A. M. The Pastor in his thorough manner will PETER discuss these subjects as follows: Sunday, February 5th, A. M.—Is religion of any real value? If so, what is the good of Religion? P. M.—Is there a need for personal Religion? If so, what is its value? Sunday, February 12th, A. M.—Is prosperity based on any definite fundamental? If so, what are the fundamentals of Prosperity? P. M.—Has the Bible a place in human life? If so, what is its nature and its use? Sunday, February 26th, A. M.—Is Religion worth what it costs? If so, what is its productive value? P. M.—Will the future have a Religion? If so, what will be the Religion of the future? SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Excellent crowds attended the Services both morning and evening last Sunday. Four were baptized in the morning, and one other was received for baptism. Persons are constantly received on profession of faith. The forces of the church are so organized as to have conversions at most any time. Pastor Griffith in the morning presented three momentous phases of the church: "it is fair or beautiful"; it is clear; it is terrible". Persons are constantly commenting on the strong and inspiring sermons of Pastor Griffith. The evennig services were entirely or song. The choir rendered most of the program. The Community Sing proved to be an interesting feature. The Second Church is putting much stress on congregational singing. If you want to be uplifted in song, come to the Second Baptist Church. WESLEY CHAPEL NEWS Wesley begins the unusual thing this Sunday of doing away with the public collection on Sunday. The church is so organized in small groups led by the Unit Leaders that the offerings will be reported Tuesday night of each week. Special offering boxes will be placed conveniently so that visitors may place their offering in them as they come in or go out. The whole church and community is interested in how this unusual system will work out. The Pastor will preach both Morning and Evening thist Sunday and administer the Sacrament. A great Song and Testimonial Service has been arranged as a preliminary to the Evening Sermon. Last Sunday was a great day. The Pastor's Sermon on "Science versus Religion" was unusually well received by both young and old. The State Night Services were very good. The offering was excellent, $88.15. Wesley always conducts helpful services. Come and see. Come, Hear And Know Knowledge gives strength. Keep up with our March Series and know for yourself. Four of the biggest and most modern questions that are before the world today will be answered through discussion and substantial proof, that go a long way in helping the individual to settle many of life's difficulties.

Elder P. G. Rodgers, when he presented the subject of the "Seven Seals" last Sunday Night in the church auditorium, at 37th and Wadsworth streets. This subject was illustrated by stereopticon views as will be the subject of the "Seven Last Plague" which he will preach upon: Sunday night, March 4th at 8 P. M. Fhrilling, solemn, yet true to the Gospel are these extra interesting and helpful Sunday night discourses. No one desiring to know the meaning of the many hitherto unravelled chapters in the book of Revelation, should miss this last subject in the series of four sermons on "Sevens" from the last book in the Bible. Sabbath morning (Saturday) at 11 P. M. the Pastor will speak again upon the subject of Religious Freedom.

An economic meeting of the utmost importance, will be conducted at the Y. M. C. A., 28th Street Branch, Sunday, March 4, 1983, at 3 P. M. Hugh H. Gordon will talk on "The Negro Trade and How it can be Captured". The speaker will show in detail how the Negro race in Los Angeles and environ, can supply itself with the necessities of life at a lower cost it itself that it is now compelled to pay the foreign whose interest in the race is only TRADE deep. He will also show how our boys and girls will be given employment at lucrative wages as a result of the Negro race's furnishing, itself with its own necessities. Mentis Carrere will speak on "Cooperative Business, the Negro's Opportunity. He will offer a specific remedy that, if accepted by the race will cause a rejuvenation of the economic life of the Negro will give the race social prestige, and political power William Nickerson, Jr., president of Golden State Guarantee Life Insurance Company, one of Los Angeles outstanding businesses among Negroes, has chosen for his subject "Where There is no Vision the People Perish". The speaker will show the necessity of imaginative powers among a people and courage, grit and confidence to develop those powers to an economic reality. The public is urged to be present. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH The cuper of the Lord will be observed in the evening services which will open at 7:30 sharp. Many folks comment on the Impressiveness and beauty of our Communion Services. Evening Sermon subject: "Is the Lord's Supper Essential?" We have a great Sunday School at this church. It opens at 9:30 A. M. in 8 Departments. There is a class for every age. Our B. Y. P. U. has grown in interest amazingly. It opens "ASININITY OR CHRISTIANITY?" BY: REV. L. SAINT GEORGE A. McCALLUM, B. D. Some weks ago a Los Angeles minister preached the funeral of another minister who in his lifetime had a very un-orthodox reputation. This simple service generated a great religious storm and there is no telling when the Los ex-Angelot skies will Rev. L. St. Gee. A. McCallum; B. D. be sufficiently clear to allow our self-appointed ministerial God-protectors to dismiss their right-of-Indignation and fear. To us the words of One Man of the Los Angeles Record, it is surprising note how "gents" who are otherwise fairly sensible can be 30 "dratted stupid" in matters of religion. It is painfully remarkable that very many of our average ministers are little better than blockheads. Someone on reading this may be inclined to hurl the question at the author of this article: "Are you not an average minister, hence, eligible for the blockhead class?" Perhaps, yes. But this blockhead knows that he knows not and is consequently humble and teachable. The others know not that they know not and are consequently in the unteachable or fool class. Many of our so-called ecclesiastical leaders claim for themselves the keys of life, death, heaven, and hell. It appears, though, that their keys can open only the locks to their own doors and no one's else. What we need is a Master-Key, and that can be found by the individual only, with the aid of the Divine Spirit working within him. It is a deplorable fact that a very large number of our preachers cherish the idea that preaching which is based on Systematic Theology, a philosophy largely built up of time-worn and out-grown categories, will save the world; but they are mistaken. It may stir up a one-sided emotion by appealing to the Santa-Claus-and-Boogey Man instinct, but as far as constructiveness goes, though it has done some good in the past, in this highly com- DUCO OIL-LAC AND VARNISH ALL.

Concerning the blood of Jesus, let these brethren if they can coax to themselves for the purpose of assistance some good sense and reason, read in conjunction with their Bibles some first class books written by up-to-date religious thinkers and they will find their Oxide of Theology giving way to a Religion with a clean, polished surface that will truly reflect the rays of the Sun of Righteousness to a Christiandom apparently Godly though in reality God-starved through lack of knowledge. Providence Bapt. Ass'n Holds Special Session Sunday, Feb. 26, 1922 Having invited the Rev. Dr. J. D Gordon, the pastor of this church, and a member of the Providence Baptist Association, to explain his position concerning certain allied schismical utterances in a funeral sermon over the remains of the late Mr. Shields, who had been the pastor of Douglas Temple, this city. After hearing Dr. Gordon on the various points at issue: We, being a Committee appointed by the Rev. W. H. Roxier, Moderator of The Association, to report on, and make clear the position of The Association, touching the charges against, and explanations by Dr. Gordon, beg to submit the following: (1) We deem it expedient—at this time to re-assert, and make clear, our acknowledgment, as an Association, of the One Holy, and Indivisible Trinity—God the Father, Jesus Christ. His only Beaten Son, who died for our sins, according to the Scriptures and rose again, for our justification: And in whose name alone is salvation. We believe in the Holy Spirit, and accept Him in all His offices—as Teacher, Guide, and Conforter. We hereby re-affirm our belief in, and acceptance of, the Holy Scriptures as the inspired word of God, the ground of our faith and rule of Christian practice. (2) As regular Baptists, we abide by the principles of the Baptist Church, and observe them, as founded on the word of God: And handed down to us, by our forefathers, and predecessors of the same faith and order. (3) Concerning the Rev. Dr. J. Dr. Gordon. The Committee recommends acceptance of his explanations, as satisfactory, conceding to blim that which we ourselves do hold dear to us as Baptists, namely—liberty of conscience, and freedom of speech on all matters, especially interpretive Scripture.

DIRECTORS ```markdown ``` Associated Negro Press Heralds Warley-Cole Defense Movement Louisville, Ky., Feb. 21. -Fearing that the right of free speech on the part of the colored press may be threatened if the municipal decision handed down recently by a Kentucky court in the cases of Editor William Warley and Editor I. Willis Cole of the Louisville Leader, a group of citizens headed by the venerable editor of the American Baptist, William H. Stew and Bishop George C. Clement of the A. M. E. Zion Church, and Wilson Lovett, president of the Standard Bank of this city, have determined to come to the rescue. Because they exposed what they termed a legalized lynching of two colored men, Bard and Fleming, the editors were charged with violating an ancient statute and convicted of libel being assessed a heavy fine. The committee in their statement to the public say: "We believe that this decision may seriously affect Negro newspapers throughout the entire country. Colored people generally will wish to know whether their newspapers are to be restricted in their news items and expressions of opinion." "For the purpose of carrying this case to the Supreme Court of the United States and to assist in paying the fine, it is finally determined that it must be paid, a Cole-Warley Defense Fund is being organized by those whose names are attached. Other individuals will be asked to join as members of the Defense Fund Committee. "We believe there are at least a thousand people of this country who will be willing to contribute $1 or more if given the opportunity, to find out whether or not colored newspapers may ask that fair play and just be given members of their race just as other persons demand that the same be given persons of their group. "Neither of the editors has asked anybody for any assistance whatsoever; and knowing them as we do, we are mindful that they both have the stamina, the grit, and the courage to carry this fight to the last ditch unaided and alone, but we believe that it is the fight of the people. They have taken a stand in behalf of every man's rights and there are at least a thousand of us who will help bear the burden." We request that persons who wish to contribute to the fund make check or money orders payable to the Cole-Warley Defense Fund and mail them to the Cole-Warley Defense Fund Committee: Wilson Lovett, Chairman, 601 West Walnut street, Louisville Ky.; Editor Williams H.

RESOLUTION The Advisory Council of the Los Angeles District of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in special meeting assembled February 27, 1928, herewith adopts the following resolution: Inasmuch as it has pleased the author of life to take from our midst our loyal and faithful Brother, A. Payne, who was at all times devoted in his interest and conscientious in his support to the organization which is striving to obtain better wages and working conditions, and manhood recognition for Pullman Porters; and Imasmuch as during the life of Brother Payne his membership in this organization was secret and had to be so because to have revealed the fact that he was a member of the organization would have caused him to suffer discrimination and unjust reprisals on the part of the forces who are opposing the effort for better wages, working conditions and manhood recognition for Pullman Porters. Now that Brother Payne has departed this life, and need no longer fear reprisals nor intimidations, it is meet and just and wholly fitting that our Brother should be given the recognition and honor which his loyal and faithful support deserves. We, the members of the Advisory Council of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Los Angeles District Mrs. Z. Small and Miss Walker serve dinner at Mt. Zion Church, Tuesday, Feb. 28. Mrs. R.

Times have changed since then. The public parks and country clubs are open to games and indoor sports, keep men fit throughout the winter. Golf was never more popular. And the business man of today works faster and harder than he did before the war. This speeding-up process serves as a natural reducer. The American man of today in nine cases out of ten retains his figure. It has been noticed that American women also are becoming more slender. Their fat reducers are employment in factories, offices and stores, more active interest in strenuous athletics, dieting and a modern life that is in every way less sedentary than that of a decade back. If there is a class waxing fatter, it comprises those good housewives whose labors have been lightened by modern appliances and who have not entered into the more active life of the "new woman." Viewed in this light the feeble efforts of middle-aged women of leisure to give up candy and to undergo calisthenics are somewhat pathetic. Once afflicted with obesity they cannot expect to take off in fifteen minutes exercise a day what they have taken years to put on and what they are still putting on twenty-three hours and forty-five minutes a day. Spring is an exciting and dangerous season. More people die in March, in temperate latitudes, than in any other month of the year; more people are admitted to insane asylums, and the efficiency curves of factory workers start in March on an upward leap that does not begin to sag until June. Spring fever is no mere popular myth; the season stirs the blood of all, and its results can be plotted and charted in terms of human efficiency as well as of temperature. There is a seasonal heightening of both mental and physical activity which has its good results and its bad. May, each year, marks the high-water mark of the suicide rate; college records show that spring also helps to solve problems in mathematics—and essentially the same process is responsible for both results. Efficiency and exhaustion are close neighbors. Just why spring is so exciting a season no one precisely knows. Temperature has a great deal to do with it. Men work best when the temperature averages from 60; to 65, not rising above 70 in the heat of the day. Man cannot control the movements of the earth about the sun or keep the world at springide; but he has learned to do much that once seemed impossible. He can produce the equivalent of a seashore sun in a dark city bedroom; he has invented automatic, self-feeding furnaces that keep his home and office at whatever temperature he decrees. In doing this he has produced conditions under which he can show March efficiency in other months of the year. LIMIT OF ENDURANCE That Kentucky mule which is reported to have demolished a small car with its bare hoofs appears, from the disclosed facts in the case, to have a fair measure of defense. The filwer crowded the animal and bumped it in the rear. That in itself was an insulting injury which no self-respecting mule with a pair of heels in working order could be expected—even by the most zealous pacifist—to ignore. As the filwer foolishly remained within range, the mule, acting within its rights and That Kentucky mule a small car with its bare h in the case, to have a; fs crowded the animal and was an insulting injury a pair of heels in working most zealous pacifist—to mained within range, the Kentucky mule which is reported to be with its bare hoofs appears, from the rear, to have a fair measure of defense the animal and bumped it in the rear, resulting injury which no self-respecting els in working order could be expected upon pistol—to ignore. As the flyw within range, the mule, acting within maintaining mule traditions, preceded to loose a volley of kicks that reduced the offender to a junk pile. It is a fair supposition that into every lunge of hoofs went vengeance for innumerable and cumulative wrongs and insults debited on the mule ledger to the account of the silver—for mocking honks of horns, for stiffing clouds of dust raised under the nose, for crowding off highways, for blinding flashes of lights and many other injuries to mule dignity and pride and peace. Truly, there are limits to endurance of wrongs and insults beyond which no mule, any more than man, is called upon to go. And that limit, both fluviers and men sometimes learn, is passed by aggressors at their peril. In "Gulliver's Travels" there is a race of horses, the Houyhnhnm, that rules man, and treats him as he is accustomed to treat his horse. If there is ever a Houyhnhnm race of horses in real life, let automobile, truck and tractor beware. Many have been the wrongs suffered by the equine race at the hands of gasoline-propelled vehicles. Often men who practice a profession also have to practice economy. Some reformers are so close to heaven that they never get down to earth. Jaywalkers sometimes prove easy marks for persons hunting in automobiles. Movie director says a fighting chin is hard to find, yet many do their fighting that way. A New York judge describes marriage as "an expensive luxury." That man isn't theorizing. The man who is trying to put something over should be willing to put up with some rebuffs. COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON In a recent issue of the Portland Advocate appeared an editorial "Be Yourself." It was one of the most pertinent essays on the tendancy of aping, among the Aframericans, it has been our fortune to peruse. Veritably, we are degenerating into a race of "Apist." Losting all of our originality in the effort to produce a fictitious "front." We drive high powered cars on the salary or a clerk, and purchase "country clubs" which tax the financial ability of the "well to do" to maintain. In the main we are degenerating into a race of bluffers without the cash behind the chips. This is a material age. It's the "in God We Trust," that counts. As long as we can be kept from delving into the mystic realm of finance we will be encouraged by applause, in the achievements of the "pure Make Me a Millionaire" venture to golf and own a swell Country Club and you will be encouraged. Let the same group utilize the same plan to organised a company to equip and maintain some worthwhile business and see how great the encouragement. Would not a big co-operate company be able to ploying many boys and girls, be of more value, a greater asset to the people in general, a more lasting monument the actual progress, than all of the country clubs we could acquire? Now don't top an infant believe it is bessipimant that compel the thought, yet sol. We delight in every evidence of progress and prosperity, but let us measure the back time and then consider if the financial rock is stable enough to hold us among the millionaire classes, who have time, and money "to tee off" for a toy bus like it is. We must be mindful of institutional links, open to the public, that are taken advantage of by the average citizen. Well, "Let's be Ourself," then will be no danger of the bubble bursting if there is a pin prick. The "Crime" of giving publicity to criminals has its echo in the Hickman case. Two Sacramento boys or tender age sought to out-do the "Fox" in a cunning scheme to extort money under threat. They were apprehended when they found the supposed money and the designated spot. If the authorities could have found some means to circumvent our crazy law, and out the confessed murder to the gallows, California would have been benefited a thousand times. It would have checked the enthusiasm of any number of ebryo minds with a criminal tendency. . . . From all accounts, the venture in apartment house building which Rockefeller, Jr., has started in Harlem, is one of the great boons ever offered to the Manhattan C.I.B. Dwellers, to become sole owner of the apartment, which is a community project. It is not a philanthropic venture. The promoter declares it a business venture. If the investment proves a wise one, others of a similar nature will be erected. Wise politicians are beginning to wonder if Herbert Hoover can be nominated and if nominated, elected. His pro-British leaning and tendency to favor international alignments and debt cancellations, in fact, so many things that were alight in war times seem to pop up to his detriment: too much ease of table and available substance included Republican to be cautious. Naturally, California will boost his candidacy, but they will eagerly watch the outcome of the Ohio primary. Should he show strength in that contest it will boost his stock, but should Senator Willis put a decided crimp in his ambition—Well, look out! Senator Jim Reed, Missouri, is making a strong campaign for the酬 ability of democracy. He, while pleading for a united party, is making great inroads in the Al Smith territory and creating a favorable attitude toward his own candidacy. Jack Badaracso, Supervisor, San Francisco and former Legislator, was killed in an automobile accident. Badaracso was one of the best liked men in the public and the model of the North Beach region and the man who beat him was hard to find. His activities in the civic life of the city will be missed. FRIVOLITY GIRLS CLUB On last Monday evening, the Frivolity Gris Club held their weekly meeting at the home of Mrs. Wilbur Massey. Miss Cora Ma Hervell of St. Louis, Mo. who is visiting in the city indisputably, was at visit. I served by Mrs. Massey who proved to be a charming hostess. The members and visitors all left declaring that they had enjoyed a most pleasant evening. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Ninth Annual Declaration Contest under the auspices of the Southern California Alumni Association will be held Friday evening, April 20, 1928. In the First A. M. E. Zion Church corner of Pico and Patoma. Students of the various schools are asked to get in touch with the chairman of the contest committee or with the president of the Alumul. Juanita Ellsworth, Chairman. Vertner Gordon, Pres. POLITICAL POT PIE So much has come to us about the 741th. However, we are ever ready to toe the scratch and hold up the baner of our chief. The acquisition by J. C. Rivers of the Shining. Stand at the Ferry Building in San Francisco, which was formerly conducted by John Taylor, prominent politician of that city, also once conducted by A. P. Alberga, we are sure is in the hands of a capable and worthwhile citizen. We hope he is called upon to political patronage "doled" out to the Colored group. S. P. Dones, runner up for the Assembly in the 73rd District on his proposed platform will no doubt be a target for the spellbinders, but Sidney being a veteran at the running game will doubtless not cease for that. The Young Men's Democratic Club with Titus Alexander as its Counselor is off with a bang and shows the way for the New Negro if he cares to follow. Senator Jim Reed of Missouri, a fighter from way back is on the firing line and will make things interesting for all comers at the Houston Convention. Further than this we cannot say at this time. LEADERSHIP (CONTRIBUTED) A weekly contemporary, under the caption of Leadership, published an article the purportion which is to extol the qualities of our Assemblyman from the 74th District. The article is illogical, disconnected and evasive of the true situation just as would be expected from one whose roving life for the past 20 years, shaping the phantom of impracticable schemes would naturally make with the local political situation, but when employed in a safely directing the affairs of the organization to which he is connected in a manner to merit the annabration of the public. Whether leaders are born or made leaders, accomplish something, Leaders have convictions and have the courage to uphold them. Such was the case with Calvin Coolidge in Boston police strike, such was the case with Hiram Johnson when he sent the State political leader Abe Ruef to the penitentiary and drove the Southern Pacific out of politics and likewise shackles from four million slaves shackles from four million slaves. Eubnest effort and accomplishment has been the stamp of leadership from time immemorial. Owing to the condition of our group in a rapidly growing community like ours, it is highly necessary that leaders should possess these qualities to the fullest extent. Whether a leader is born or we make him, a succession or five terms of leadership is necessary. State leaders has given him ample opportunity to demonstrate these qualities or create them in him, if they did not exist. A position as member of the Legislature is particularly important among our group, and any one having been thus honored for even one or two terms should have been in a position to have successively recommended girls for positions of honor and trust all over the state where we have a proper quote of electors. And here in his home city where we are in such vast numbers and have made such general progress, his relationship with the Mayor, Council Board of Supervisors, should have been of such weight that he would be in the offices that are now barred to us where there are members of the race with high rating on the Civil Service list and also an aggressive attempt for the employment of our group through the Chamber of Commerce and many other corporations established here who are constantly seeking special legislative favors. Many of these lines this line has been by representatives of the other race and when we can point to no results along this line by our own representative it shows an utter absence of true leadership. Our group has certainly been patient and indulgent with our representative, re-electing him with the hope that something tangible would be accomplished but so far we can point to nothing strikingly important, unless it be his passive "presence alone" which according to his admirer is his chief qualification. The records stated above are known to all and are subjects for general political discussions with many of his other derelications and it is the consensus or opinion that we must now send someone else. Many substantial citizens are bold in the assertion that the incumbent to gracefully withdraw, stating that he did not choose to run—and give earnest support to the one who undoubtedly will be the choice of the voters of the 74th District. Such an act would, in a measure, lessen criticism concerning his inactivity and permit him through life to cherish whatever honor there was to five conventions' terms of answering "PRESENT." Dones Fires First Gun In Political Campaign On last Sunday, friends of Sidney P. Dones gathered at his home on E. 45th St. in response to a breakfast invitation. The candidate who was known for his hospitality not only to his friends, but to every one with whom he comes in contact, outlined to BURK D. BONES those present what an Assemblyman could and should do for our group. "What we need," said Dones, "is an equal opportunity to earn a living, to buy homes and educate our children." Dones thinks that every Public Utility Corp. should employ a reasonable number of our group. Mr. Dones promises that if elected as a representative from the 73rd Assembly District, he will devise a plan to interest the interest of the people or his district, to but the entire population of our city. Among the large number of visitors at: the Dones residence were: Wood Wilson, Hon. J. B. Bass, Editor of The California Eagle, Dr. John Rout, Dr. the California Eagle, Dr. Pearson, Jerome Hatcher, and Mrs. Oscar James, Mrs. Lucie Howard, Mrs. Hackley, Miss Stewart, Mrs. Zula Wright, B Lewis, Elbie Sheffield, R. Dunn, Prof. J. P. Gibson, and a host of others. NEGRO INSURANCE COMPANIES IN BIG CELEBRATION OF INSURANCE WEEK The twenty-eight Insurance Companies comprising the National Negro Insurance Association are launching a campaign of education during the week of March 4 to 11 inclusive when the 9,000 employees of these Companies will reach a large proportion of the colored population of the United States to tell them of the economic advantage of carrying insurance especially in Companies owned and operated by and for their own Race Group. Information obtain by Mr. C. M. Hayes, Statistician of the Association, has revealed startling facts as to the magnitude of the Insurance business. From a small beginning more than twenty years ago, when the then existing Companies operated as assessment or mutual industrial corporations with no capital, but with strong, honest and far-sighted men directing their destiny, the business has grown to twenty-eight companies, whose combined assets are more than twelve million dollars, with paid-in Capital Stock of more than two million dollars and business in force near three hundred million dollars. These figures place the insurance business easily in front rank as the first business in force on colored lives in the United States is more der on the benefits which are being derived therefrom. As stupendous as the figures seem, an analysis of the business of the Race that is being carried in white companies, makes it plain that the large amount of business already done by these Companies is but a drop in the bucket to the amount of insurance which they ought to have on their books. The estimated business in force on colored lives in the United States is more than two billion dollars, the annual premium income on which is around thirty-five million dollars. If the insurance business now conducted less than twenty per cent in colored companies was carried ninety per cent instead, more than 30,000 would be employed; the assets of these companies would increase more than ten million dollars a year and within a few years, the Negro would become an economic power in the United States. The many business success in the country point out that big wealth comes from the wide marketing of an article of universal appeal. Every person needs insurance, and the few pennies that come each week from the ten million Negroes make up the millions of dollars of income of the financial giants of the Insurance World. To bring home to the Negro the power of this money when properly harnessed under his own control will be the aim of the Officers and Agents of the Companies of the National Negro Insurance Association in their campaign during the coming week. (Continued from Page 2) PROVIDENCE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION pressed, may be, and as a fact, are matters admitting of brotherly discussion, and consistent clarification; But not condemnation. (5) The Baptist Church being an authoritative, self-governing body of baptized believers, and an Episcopacy, denies existence of, and rejects any assumption to create, organize and constitute an Ecclesiastical Council of brethren to appear before it, demanding explanation of, and passing exigence upon, them, or any one exigency by the local Church itself, of which that person is a member, or Pastor.

(7) We advise that our Brother Gordon invite or go before any of his brotheren, who, in the spirit of love and charity, desire to hear him. We further advise, that Dr. Gordon's explanations be made in English as public as when he made the assertions referred to. And as such remarks were referred to at two open sessions of The Baptist Ministers Union. This though perfectly right, should be left entirely to his own discretion.

RESSE DUPREE AND EDITOR VISITS CORNER STONE EXERCISES AT SAN BERNARDINO On last Wednesday, we were whisked down to San Bernardino in the powerful Lincoln by Mr. Resse Dupree and witnessed the corner staying exercises incident to the new Temple for the Mid West Masonic Lodge. It was a gala affair, and in our next issue we will give a fall account of the very splendid occasion. PIANO RECITAL Nine advanced pupile of Elmer C.

Dear Mrs. Davidson: Will you give me a formula for an inexpensive cleansing cream and also a bleach cream overnight? A. This cream is about the most inexpensive cream I know of. If you have any cottage Cheeses let me know. I will make tablespices full and put it through a sieve twice, adding color if you have it, if not, use it without. Apply.

Mrs. Alice Jettries of 81st E. 41st Street, entertained a number of friends Tuesday night at a farewell party honoring Mrs. Jackie E. Settles of New York City, who has been her beloved husband two times. Mrs. Settles was called home suddenly on account of the illness of her sister. While here, her wonderful personality won her a number of warm friends. Many friends accompanied her to the train. Huge Ballroom at 15th and Main Secured by Colored Promoter 15th and Main, as it is popularly known, has long been in the hands of white promoters. Colored people have repeatedly tried to get the regular Tuesday night dance in their own management. Mr. Lawrence, the proprietor, has not been adverse to their plea, but has been hesitant to risk it in the hands of an incompetent person. In the person of Mr. Edward Carson, he found one whom he could trust. Mr. Carson in addition to operating the weekly dance on Tuesday at the hall, will continue to run the regular Sunday night dance at Ocean Park. He has the popular Rene's Syncoopators playing for both places. Upper- Cuts & Blocks 0-0-0-0-0 --By-- HARRY LEVETTE NO ALIBIS FOR George Godfrey FAILING to K. O. Paulino. But there is one thing sure he did not lay down as the wise birds predicted before the battle and he did muss up the bounding Basque considerably. After considerable wondering, pondering and figuring, the only conclusion I can reach is that Paulino is a hard man for a fighter of Godfrey's build to knock out. Paulino fights in a crouch from which it is hard to raise him. He works in close without leaving an opening and where he could never be any danger to George yet George could not get the right line on him for a sleep punch. George was never extended and still remains the leading contender for the crown of "Color Line" Tunney. GIRL- ETICS by: GLADYS MA- THONICAN Golf seems to be the center of attraction for the girls and women of Southern California, at the present time. Miss Lucille De Long, of San Diego, 17 years old, is considered one of the greatest women golfing prospects ever developed in the West. Recently, in the Los Angeles, Country Club's invitational, she showed to great advantage. This young lady is expected to put up a strong bid for the State and Southern California championships this year. The Flintridge Country Club women's golf team, recently won the woman's inter-club team championship of Southern California, led by Miss Margaree Cameron and Miss Kathleen Wright. This team defeated San Gabriel in its own section and then won a triangular playoff from California and Lakeside. In the finals, two straight matches were won from the Virginia Country Club of Long Beach. Other players on the team were Mrs. Bernice Moeller, Mrs. Hunter S. Robbins, Miss Julia Lockwood and Mrs. W. S. Whitmer. Mrs. Mirfum Burns Horn, national women's golf champion, is favored by the many spectators who watched her with interest during the past week in the annual Peble Beach championship for itminne golfers, which was held at the Monterey Country Club course. Approximately 50 players, including two California champions—Mrs. Gregg Lifur, Southern California women's titleholder, and Mrs. Lewis Lengfield, northern California feminine champion were entered. This tournament was one of unusual interest. JOSEPHINE BROWN BEATS MEN TENNIS RIVALS An interesting bit of news from the Snyder Field tennis courts puts Josephine Brown in the limelight as the most leared girl by men opponents who play on those splendid courts. Last week the speedy little Josephine beat Wm. Nickerson 5 to 4, five and darkness alone saved Rachael Brookner from defeat with the game by 4-1. Brown had mastered his terrific drives and would have carried him on to a sure loss if the game had been finished. COL. PAOLINO BEST WHITE CON- TENDER FAILS IN KNOCK- OUT BOAST Paolino Uzcudun, who chopped big trees in the Basque country in Spain failed in spite of boasts to chop down the lowering walnut, George Godfrey, at Wrigley Field, Tuesday, Feb. 28th. But he had the satisfaction or putting up an good light, against the world's leading heavyweight contender, as 40, 000 fins—black and white—looked on and 10,000 more were turned away from what was the biggest fistic event in history of California. This battle which is now history, was the most talked of match since Dempsey was champion and Tunney contender. It will be the subject of discussion for many days to come especially since referee Blake showed absolute impartiality and decided the match according to his deductions, regardless of color. FULLY 6,000 NEGRO FANS ATTEND Nearly one-tenth of the Colored population of the city was out to see their idol defend his supremacy in the heavyweight ranks, desetting theatres, concertes, churches, and the Avenue to flock through the many turnstiles at Wrigley Field. The fact that they were scattered all over the park makes it hard to realize the large number there, cheering and rooting for the "Black Shadow of Leperville." Suffice to say that there were more Colored people, especially women and girls present who had never witnessed a prize fight before than at any past contest in any State. That they are now rapid fight fans may be judged by the delight with which they watched theouts and expressions of satisfaction afterwards. DOYLE HAILED AS BICKARD OF WEST Si Masters a Master of Detail As Tex Rickard and Fuggy looked envious on Jack. Doyle grabbed the best plush of the year and is being halled at the Tex Rickard of the West. Two other men of his notable staff share the high honors, they are "Wad" Wadhams who made the match and the supporting card, and Si Masters who handled the enormous work and inhumable details of seating, ticket selling, police and fire protection, in fact the thousand one things worked like clock-work and the following figures tell the financial story: ATTENDANCE RECORD The battle broke all records for receipts on a $1 to $5 admission price, as was expected. The tabulation of Promoter Deyle's experts shows the following figures: Actual attendance, 40,000, including free list, police, firemen, ushers, employees, etc. Of this sum Paolino got the big end with $41,000; Godfrey $21,000. The preliminaries found two knockouts. Eddie Gill scored a technical knockout over Billy Angelo in the third round. Andy Mitchell won eight straight rounds from Jack Green and received the decision. Terry Ascencio, a diminutive Paulino, knocked Turchi out in the second round. Entering the ring promptly at the close of the semiwindup, after pooling for some pictures, the two famous principals Godfrey and Paoloine began hostilities at the first gong. From then to the 10th round, the fight was the clearest seen here in years. The referee had little trouble with the men and Godfrey was impressive with a lightning left lab that cut Paoloine's nose and mouth and kept him up out of his low crouch much more than he would have been. Godfrey's best rounds were the 4th and 10th they follow: **ROUND FOUR**—Both boys were bleeding lightly at the mouth in their corners before this round. Paoloine was first out of his corner. Godfrey sent a stiff right to the law and tore in with left to the body. Godfrey dropped a right on the shoulder and dug a left to the rite. George led lightly with a left and Paoloine sent a right to the head. George tried to measure his opponent with a left and sent over several right uppercuts. Godfrey repeated his overcautious. Paoloine Cleveland Stars Play San Bernardino Cleveland Stars Play San Bernardino WIND-UP WINTER LEAGUE WHITE SOX PARK SUN. The Cleveland Stars will have their mettle tested in the final game of the Winter League at White Sox Park, Sunday by crossing bats with the strong San Bernardino team strengthened by the addition of other big league players.

LINCOLN DROPS HARD GAME TO HAMPTON (By: A. A. N. P.) Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 27.—Staging a last half rally, the Seasiders from Hampton defeated the Lincoln Lions here Tuesday night in one of the most thrilling and hard-fought games seen on local courts this season. The final score was 12-44. A much heralded game will take place at the Women's Gym; U. C., L A., March 9th, when the famed Alpha Phi Alpha five meets the Kappa Kappa Psi team in a match game. Both teams are in fine trim and anxious to settle the long rivalry between them. Doc Straine Company To Leave Lincoln Mar. 15 After a successful run of twenty-three weeks at the Lincoln theatre the Doc Straine Company will close their engagement on Thursday, March 15th and return East. During the present engagement at the Lincoln, Doc Straine has given to the Los Angeles theatre going public some very fine, Clean and wholesome entertainment. It is very gratifying to be able to say that during this long period producing a new show weekly there was never once that it was necessary to stoop to smut or suggestiveness in word or action by cast or chorus in order to put the show over. Every member of this versatile company put over his or her part solely on their merits. On March the 16th the Lincoln Theatre will begin with an entirely new policy, which will include in its program the very best in VAUDE VILLE VARIETIES, supported by CURTIS MOSBY and his DIXIELAND BLUE BLOWERS in novel stage presentations. On the screen will be shown INTERNATIONAL NEWSREEL, HAL ROACH COMEDIES with 'LAL' FAKINA and high class feature PHOTOPLAYS direct from downtown showings. The Lincoln management's aim is to present the very best vaudeville acts that it is possible to book for a neighborhood playhouse, also Mosby's Blue Blowers will be strengthened by the addition, to its already strong lineup, of one of the country's greatest musicians, and Mr. Mosby is planning to uncork some novel programs that will make you gasp with surprised pleasure. The policy of the house remains about the same as regards the dates and prices. Two entirely Matinee Saturday, continuous Sunday and Holidays and that Midnight Ramble every Saturday. There will be no change in prices. BEHIND THE SCENES WITH HARRY To talk about the LINCOLN is to talk about Curtis Mosby too, so let's talk about Mosby, the Prince or Jazz. Las winter at the Spirits Writers Ball at the Legion Club someone introduced Mr. Fred Solomon as the "man who made Curtis Mosby." Immediately Mr. Solomon arms and graciously countered with, "meet Mr. Mosby, the man who made Fred Solomon!" And that goes for any one fortunate enough to have the services of the genial Curtis and his wonderful orchestra. Paul Ashe, Fess Williams, Sammy Stewart, none of the Eastern orchestra leaders have anything whatever on the Mosby's Blues Blowers. A wonderful organization whose greatest test has been since the the opening of the Lincoln Theatre. To supply a constantly changing program of music for the overtures as well as to render perfectly the music for the individual numbers and choruses is an achievement that they have attained with ever growing success and the hearty plaudits of the plumed theatre goers. KANDY Revue is the nam₀ a 20-people show from down town playing at the A-MusU. ROSEBUD—Has a big surprise in store according to Manager Jules Wolf. Still running big features. KONGO—Draws, thrills, frightens, delights, educates, mystifies at the Orange Grove with Curtis Nero. ORPHEUM—Dean and Robcelle, Chas. Iris, David Hartford, Francis Nordstrom, Lew Heam and Alice Gray, Mrs. Wallace Reed and Hai Cran. A good show playing to big crowds. BROADWAY PALACE—Mary Pickford in "My Best Girl," packed them in with its second week. LADIES MINISTREL—Bigger and Better than ever. Watch for a date in the near future. THE BROADWAY The first man into a ring-side seat Tuesday night for the Godfrey-Uzcuduh gigantic was the famous One-Eyed Connelly, globe trotter and champion gate crasher of the world. Connelly has never missed a big sporting event anywhere in the world for the last 30 years. He is shown here visiting the Eagle office and telling his life's story.

For white isn't white in the movies, gen- erally it's yellow or blue, meaning by that that the dress shirt of the well- dressed ‘star that you see on the screen as white ix often yellow or blue and the black velvet drapes of the big living room set are quite likely to be red. * ‘The motion pjcture camera has lots of peculiarities. Te won't accept many colors on their face value. It also has to be protected against reflection and glare, known to the cam- eramen as “halations,” or “highlights” or just “kickbacks.” Have you ever, while sitting in the darkened theater, seen a curious light piay about the Mps of one af the per formers? That an halation, from the moistened Iip rouge’ 8nd it is about the only kind of a “kickback” you still see on the screen occasionally. The rest are exterminated before the cameras start to grind. Take the’ case of “Red Hair,” a Clara Bow picture, with certain wat- er sequences in the action. Water ts one of the trickiest elements to photo- graph. It has not only refiection but glare as well, With a reficetion like a mirror one can readily see the difficul ty of photographing against a back- ground of water. The water would re- fiect all of the cameramen, technictans and other people behind the camera and make the picture ridiculous. A bad to be found to overcome this in making “Red Hair” and Clarence Bad- ger, the director, finally found that it was necessary to dye the waters blue. Thousands of gallons of ordinary blu- ing of the kind used for the family wash were poured into the pools and when the color of the water had been transtormed the glare and reflection Were gone. In some water scénes re- flection has been successfully elimin- ated by painting the bottom and sides of the tank in which they were made. ‘The reason most'white articles, like shirts, bed clothing, waiters’ aprons, are dyed yellow or blue, is that for most motion picture purposes pure white causes halation, pr else photo- graphs so intensely that when the pic- ture is projected the white . article looks like a hole in the film. Because red is black to the camera not all blondes are blondes. Some of the prettiest heads of golden blonde hair photograph dark because of the preponderance of red pigment. Clara Bow's hair, as everyone knows, Is a flaming red, which photographs as would Brown, The movies are behind a lot of in- novations in Interior decorating but at-least one of them will not be ac- cepted and that is black floors, Dance floors, hotel lobbies and other places where the effect of a highly polished floor is desired are black. A polished hardwood or marble floor would be “impossible to ayercome.

We felt for the first time in our life like we wish we were sick just to have a cause to visit more often. Of course we changed our mind when we found how welcome we were without sickness attached to us. Associated with the Doctor is Dr. Banks, the dentist, whom we also met. Bill Wheat sold out his auto repair shop on eleventh street last week and has taken up a new occupation. For further information see gentleman in question. Of course he hasn't any car but at that he has plenty of horse sense. "A good wife is more essential than an auto" we were informed by a relative of Rev. Lightner's who is casting eyes at the niece of a prominent attorney. Geo, Neimore informed us while riding in his sedan recently that he expected to eat some wedding cake this summer as one of his single sister-in-laws was in possession of and wearing a diamond ring. Well, George, for fear there ain't enough cake to go round, save us some of yours. Mrs. E. C. Jennings and her chauffeur, the attorney, had as their auto guests last Sunday. Dr. and Mrs. Porter. The entire afternoon was given over to sight-seeing and it was a rare treat to the Dr.'s wife whose physical condition has been such as to have denied her this pleasure for some time. * * * Mrs. D. R. Jones recently took a party of friends on-on auto outing. Chief among those included we noted the name of Miss-Louisa Dixon. There are those amongst us to whom that name is quite familiar. For some time Miss Dixon has not been in the best of health though able to be around. Quiet and unassuming few know that our noble friend has had the distinction of preparing and serving meals to some of the greatest citizens of the country including a U. S. President, State Governors, Ambassadors and State and City officials. For 30 years her name held a spotlight in the fields of domestic science in this great State at top price salary. Today she is enjoying the fruits of a well-earned rest and is living in retirement at the home of her loyal friend, Mrs. Jones, whom she has known for years. Occasionally we side-step our daily duties and drop in to have a chat with this wonderful woman and come away feeling better in mind and higher in spirit from the contact for her equals are few and far between. Mr. Mitchell of Santa Barbara has decided to make Los Angeles his home. For several years he successfully conducted a large first class garage in the above named city but owing to his wife's health was forced to make the change. Mr. A. E. Andarsonia on 49th St. was recently given a surprise birthday party by his wife and a few friends. As the gentleman drove in his garage about 9:30 he was met by a chorus emitted from the throats of hidden friends all dressed in rags and tatters. From this tune until the wee hours of morning it was one round of pleasure. At midnight a sumptuous repast consisting of everything excepting stone, iron and fire was enjoyed. We're only sorry that the gentleman doesn't have two instead of one birthday a year. Well, the Godfrey-Uscudun tracas is history and once again the motoring public can free their minds and discuss some other topic. As usual the referee didn't agree with all the public but his word goes and George got the decision along with whatever honors it may acquire. Mebby some day they will both get serious and a real fight will take place. The biggest trouble with Uscudun was that he wasn't Jack Dempsey. Gene Sorrel's Smoke House, one of Godfrey's hot beds, has taken on a new appearance. The boys are all smiles over the fact that George brought home the bacon. Phones: Res. AX/2937; Bus.

Cone, Proprietress 4806 Ascot Ave. Los Angeles, Cal. 1928 Motorcade to California Begins The annual migration of the motor tourist from the eastern states is already underway and it is anticipated that the present year will be the greatest in the history of California. Figures already show. Within the last few days many motorists have called at the various state branches of the touring bureau of the club seeking information regarding the best routes in the state and also where to go to see the various interesting scenic sections. Most of these tourists have been tentering the state over the southern routes, because as yet the more northern routes in the eastern states are not in the best of condition for through motor travel. It is expected, however, these routes will be in good condition very shortly in the coming of better weather in the east. It is a notable fact, according to the club touring bureau, that most of the cars now entering the state are from the rarthest eastern states. New England license plates are quite plentiful as are nearly all of the Atlantic seaboard states. Recent tourists who have sought information at the Touring Bureau have reported that the highway conditions in the central and northern states are rapidly improving and that more and more roads are being opened for travel. Not a few of these motor travelers, according to their report, expect to remain in the state several months and then return home by another route. 'Hit-'n-Run' Parker Held Latest Motoring Nuisance The latest nuisance in the automobile world is the "hit-and-run" parker. He is described as the careless motorist who parks his machine in a small space and is not at all careful to see that he does not damage either the machine in front or in the back. Many members of the club in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and all of the major cities of the cities of the state have reported damage from this source. So serious has the situation become, in view of the many reports, that the executive committee of the club is planning to appeal to the police to make a concerted effort to stop the practice. Most of the damage from this source consists in damaged fenders, bent bumpers, punctured radiators and wrecked head and tail lights. Such damages are almost entirely the result of the rough parking tactics of the "hit-and-run" parker who makes his getaway without being made to pay for the damage he does. In a bulletin just issued by the club it is urged that observers who may witness such practices on the part of the rough parker make a report of the incident without delay, giving the offender's license number and as complete a story of the occurrence as possible. Immediately upon the receipt of such information the matter will be called to the attention of the police. It is pointed out that in many cases the owner of a parked car returns to find that it has been rather badly damaged by some "hit'n-run" parker who has gone on his way without leaving any evidence of his identity. It is urged that when an observer witnesses such an incident he make a note of the offender's license number and either drop it into the damaged car together with his name and address so that he may appear as a witness, or mail it to the club. It is hoped that in this way this species of carelessness may be curbed through the assistance or the police in the various cities. The club declares that this type of driver is in the same class with the "hit-and-ruh" driver who strikes and either malms or kills a pedestrian and then blithly continues on his way without thought for the injured person.

More than 170 miles of all-concrete road were constructed in Great Britain and Ireland during 1927, according to information received by the National Automobile Club. A majority of well-equipped repair shops are able to recondition an automobile engine in one days' time. Wisconsin's road-building program for 1928 calls for the construction of about 260 miles of concrete paving and about 1,400 miles of gravel and crushed rock surfacing. Kansas City is now enforcing pedestrian traffic rules on down-town streets according to information reaching the National Automobile Club. If the carburator float valve develops a leak that cannot be helped by grinding, replacement is the only possible remedy. Traffic speed on downtown Chicago streets has increased five miles an hour since the "no-parking" regulation went into effect. An automobile polish has been developed in colors to match the finish of cars on which it is used. Passenger automobile production in Germany during 1927 increased 33 per cent over 1926.
