HUGE FLOOD TAKES TOLL VOLUME 41 Our Hearts Go Out to the Stricken Families and Flood Sufferers of Santa Paula Death stalked abroad as the relentless waters unloaded in a fury swept through Santa Paula Valley on last Monday night. In its wake it took as its toll sleeping men, women and children of all races and creeds, on the roadside, towns, ranches and villages. Most of the victims slept, areused amid the rushing flood and hundreds swept into eternity. Harrowing indeed are all accounts of the surging and raging flood caused by the bursting of the dam in San Francisquito Canyon. All hearts go out in this sad hour of sorrow in heartfelt human sympathy and the fullest realization of the close tie of neighborhood obligation and every person is duty bound to give for sympathy alone but monetary to the utmost. With the proper spirit let not one person shirk in their responsibility of doing all in their power to assist in alleviating the suffering ones and give to them succor and relief.

YOUNG LAWYER GETS $100 DAY JOB (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., March 18—Chicago continues to forge ahead in the number and quality of political positions held by citizens of color. Announcement was made this week that Attorney Herman E. Moore, a brilliant young member of the local bar, has been appointed as a special attorney for the Forest Park District, handling condemnation suits at a salary of $1100 per day. This is the second time in the history of Cook county and probably the country where a member of the group representing a corporate body has received such a position. Several years ago Atty Edward H. Wright, political leader, was retained by the City of Chicago in traction litigation at a similar fee per dem. Attorney Moore, who is married, graduated from Howard University in 1914 and received his L.L.B. and L.L.M. from Boston University in 1918.

Pianiste May Complete Studies in East The thundering cadences of swells and crescendo, smooth andantiles and laughing alegrietis, in difficult selection from grand opera, was played by Miss Anne Washington before Mr. Reese DuPree and a small party of musical critics recently. This followed by a simple Negro Folk Song with its pathetic minors caused all to exclaim at the display unsuspected talent revealed in the 18 year old girl, student of Jefferson High School. So interested did Mr. DuPree, the famous N. Y. barton become, that he gave the family who reside at 3806 Naomi St., informatio although which she may be able to complete her studies after graduation here under tutorship of some of the great masters in the East.

"BILO" WEDS IN WHIRL OF ROMANCE SAM RUSSELL, STAR COME- DIAN OF DOC STRAINE CO., SELECTS FROM AUDIENCE "Twas what is known as the Holiday Season and everyone had begun to sort of bubble over with good cheer. According to routine, the curtain at the Lincoln on this particular evening of which we are about to speak, roll- ed back at 7 o'clock and Bilo came forward. Now, Bilo, prior to this occasion, had appeared on many stages, gazed out on many audiences dotted with many comely lassies; "but", says Bilo, "this was the first time I looked into eyes that set on fire my soul." It was charming little Miss Johnnie Calhoun, who sat in the Lincoln The- ter accompanied by her mother, Mrs. MRS. SAM RUSSELL-NEE MISS JOHNNIE CALHOUN J. C. Calhoun, wife of Rev. J. C. Calhoun of Galveston, Texas, and when the curtain at the Lincoln went down for the last time that evening, Sam (Bilo) Russell was on the job at the exit where he met and captured the little lady who was soon to share his destiny. Miss Calhoun left immediately after this meeting for her home in Galveston, but the persistent lover was not to be dismayed and pursued her with letters, telegraphs and flowers until she returned to this city Monday, March 5th and at 4 A. M., Sunday, March 11th in the presence of more than fifty selected guests, this rather sensational romance culminated. Sam (Bilo) Russell went to the altar with pretty little Johnnie Calhoun at the cozy home of Mrs. Margie McCampbell, 1437 East 25th street. The bride was charming in pale blue georgette with blond trim- mings and wore a large blue picture hat, carried a bouquet of white mar-chinelle rose buds. Mrs. Laura Calhound, the matron of bonor, was also elegant in a creation or blue. Rev. J. E. Plus, who had known the bride from childhood, performed the marriage ceremony. The bride was given in marriage by her uncle, J. C. Henderson. The McCampbell home was a fitting scene for the early morning marriage, banked in palms and lilies of the valley. MR. SAM (BILO) RUSSELL Mr. Russell's wedding gift to his bride was one thousand dollars. Sam Russell at the now famous Lincoln Theater, has for the last six months made Los Angeles laugh—while Sara Martin sings the "Blues." Sam (Bilo) Russell's mission on the stage has and always will be to drive away the gloom. Mrs. Russell is the only daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Calhoun outstanding citizens in the religious and civic life of Galveston, Texas. Sam (Bilo) Russell started his stage career in 1911 with the musical comedy, "Old Kentucky," with which company he travelled in Europe. Later in his home city, Memphis, Tenn., organized his own company "Levee Lue" in which he starred for many months. In 1921, he was with "Sandy Burne's" until the latter part of that year when he joined Doc Stralne's company. Mr. and Mrs. Russell made an airplane honeymoon trip to Catalina Island. They are receiving very many hearty and warm congratulations from their friends all over the country and Los Angeles Lincoln Theater gowers will surely sing the Blues after Tuesday, when they realize that Mr. and Mrs. "Bilo" shall have departed. Woman Suicides (By The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, March 18.—Mrs. Marr on Williams attempted suicide by taking three poison tablets after a quarrel with her husband and a few hours later succeeded as the poison baffled efforts or physicians. Dean Pickens' Flattering Reception In San Diego Dean William Pickens, according to our special report from San Diego, received a tremendous ovation on the occasion of the big N. A. A. C. P. Mass Meeting held at Calvary Baptist Church in that city last Tuesday evening. President Alien of the local branch of that city had out as the guests of the Association, the mayor of the city, Judges of the Superior Courts and many other county and city officials. There was also in attendance many white citizens and it is needless to say that the field secretary, Dean Wm. Pickens was equal to the occasion, and gave a most graphic, elucidation of the great work of the N. A. A. C. P. much to the delectation of the great throng which greeted him. Mr. Pickens returned to this city Wednesday, and will depart on a northern lecture tour next week which will take his as far north as Seattle. Bystander Killed as Two Men Due! Paducah, Ky., Mar. 12.—One man is dead and another perhaps fatally wounded and a third being sought by the police as the result of a duel staged Sunday afternoon near the I. C. Railroad shops. E. A. Harper, a bystander and peace-maker, was killed, Joe Hampton was fatally wounded, and police are searching for Cliff Centers who did the shooting. The trouble started when Centers and Hampton engaged in a dispute over the ownership of a shirt which Hampton was wearing. Harper attempted to make peace between the men just as both pulled their guns. Hampton stepped behind Harper as Centers fired and the bullet struck him, killing him instantly. The second shot fired by Centers wounded Hampton in the breast. CONGRESSMAN CRAIL WRITES W. H. (POP) SANDERS OF L. A. Wr. M. H.

Hey! at Philharmonic, 21st and 22nd of May. The growing popularity of Reese DuPree's singing has made him in demand for programs at many local radio stations. During the past two weeks in additio nto other stations he delivered a highly applauded program over K. F. I. and K. F. Q. Z. His rich baritone was especially impressive in the spirituals and folk songs. Requests for repitition came over the station phones during his 30 minute program for "Deep River" and "All God's Chillin'". Station K. F. Q. Z. was formerly the Hollywood Bungalow Studio, over which the California Eagle's weekly program was rendered last year. Mr. DuPree has concert engagements in San Bernardino, San Diego and Oakland within the next two weeks. Are you lonesome tonight? I won't be on the 21st and 22nd of May. Why?

THE ELKS EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT The Improved, Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks of the World consisting of more than one thousand lodges and eight hundred temples located in all of the states of the union, many lakes in the Sea and some portion of Africa, will celebrate the Third Elks Educational Week beginning April 1st, 1928. This Organization operating through its Department of Education of which the Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Finley Wilson of Washington is the President and Judge W. C. Hueston of Gary, Indiana the Commissioner has arranged an extensive and exhaustive program which will be carried out by all of the aforesaid lodges and temples. Among the things provided for in the program are: First—Survey of the various localities where lodges and temples are located to ascertain the number of Race children of school age who are out of school, and why. And to arrange to have them placed in school. Second—An investigation of school facilities, both buildings and faculty and curriculum, and where inadequate to try to improve. Third—To create enthusiasm for Education. To this edd in each locality Committees have been appointed in each City to carry on a week's program beginning on Sunday, April 1st, at which time addresses on the Necessity of Education? Throughout the week meetings and contacts will be had to advance the Education of Negro Youth. For two years the Elks have been granting scholarships to desirous and deserving Negro youth in cases where the individuals had exhausted all means and were unable to attend college and gave promises of making serviceable citizens. These scholarships being granted irrespective of whether the applying students were themselves or had relatives who were members JOHN ERVINE, English dramatist, says, that if he had his way, he would not permit women under 40 years of age to enter a theatre, and that he would look 'em over psychologically before granting admission— We are wondering what this Englishman would say or think if he could drop down in Los Angeles some Sunday afternoon and move along Central Avenue—see our future Colored Americans, start at 9th and Central and go to 50th—you see little boys and girls unprotected, unaccompanied and unguarded, taking in pictures of the blood and thunder type, too degrading for a woman of forty, or more years. Clean pictures with a moral, such as are shown Sunday evenings at the Independent Church of Christ, are all right, but parents who turn their children loose Sunday afternoons and evenings or any other evening to visit the average picture house while they go to church, club or lodge meetings with the idea that they are building something for the race, are practicing deception upon themselves, in that they are neglecting the sweetest God given duty that is even entrusted to mankind. Yes, we still hold out for the old-fashioned way—when mother read the book first and then either O. Ked. and passed it on to daughter or condemned it to the waste basket—When girls and boys looked forward to going to a show, the merit of which had been duly vouchered for by the seniors of the family. WE visited St. Paul Baptist Church, 21st and Naomi, Sunday evening and find this church thriving under the leadership of its new pastor, Dr. W. F. Botts; with a chorus headed by that dauntless little musician Madam Outley, second to none in the city. The welcome was cordial at this church.

IT is said that the Roman Catholic Church of Vienna is in sack cloth and ashes, because, it says, it has been demoralized by dancing Josephine Baker whom they say appears too scantily clad and her sensational dancing is too sensual. CONGRESSMAN TILLMAN of Arkansas is said to have paid his respects to the California Japanese question in defending the position of the South with regards to Negro suffrage. In his attitude, the Arkansas Congressman suggests that regardless of California's Phil Swing et al feeling towards the Japanese, the white men of the South were determined to remain dominant. of the Order of Elks. In the carrying on of this work the Elks during the past two years have expended Thirty-five Thousand $35,000;300) Dollars and have at this time Forry (40) students in the various colleges in the United States and in South Africa. Some of the students are in Howard, Amberst, Temple, Chicago, Nebraska, Washington, and Kansas Universities; and Hampton, Rust, Bethune-Cookman, Drake and the University of Minnesota, and other colleges. The students in Africa being under the direction of the Y. M. C. A. in charge of Mr. Max Yergan and are being trained for Y. W. C. A. work among the natives. In addition to this, the Elks following their policy of co-operating with all agencies which are striving to advance the race, have granted to the Urban League two scholarships of Two Hundred and Fifty ($350.00) Dollars each, available September, 1928. Sold funds to be matched by other donors to be used by students preparing to do Social Service Work under the direction of the Urban League. The Elks Second National Grater. ADVERSE DECISION OF INTERSTATE COMMISSION FAILS TO DAUNT PORTERS' UNION RAKESTRAW'S RAILROAD CLATTER By Joe Rakestraw WHY WE NEED Pullman Porters are beginning to feel that they are in a position similar to "Dred Scott" of ante bellum period, that the Pullman Company feels that the porter has no right which the company is bound to respect is evidenced by its attitude in opposing the just claims of these men, the porters feel that PullMan Company influence and perhaps Pullman Company money is responsible for the refusal of the Interstate Commerce Commission to investigate this company as demanded by the porters. However, this refusal by the commission they believe will operate to create a great wave of public indignation as did the famous "Dred Scott" decision, no public body nor private corporation can tong deny or resist the outraged demand of public sentiment and all over the country all true Americans are rising up to demand a square deal for Pullman Porters, the Pullman Octapus must soon bow to the eneivable for the public is on the porters' side. TIPS FOR PORTERS The Pullman Porters say they are going to strike for higher wages and no tips. I am for the no-tip part of it. There is no reason why these men should have to crawl and smirk to a lot of wise-cracking hosiery drummers—be called "George" and pretend to like it—in order to earn their board and keep. A porter has a tough, trying job having to be patient with people he would like to throw off the train, and going without sleep. I always get a kick out of magnificent and regal air with which the nobodies on a Pullman train orde raround this temporary servant. You can always tell the people who are used to giving orders. * * * CULINARY EXPERT IN CITY Ben J.

Mr. Johnson has won an enviable reputation among the members of his craft for his uninterrupted work, tact and perseverance, too much comment cannot be given and he justly supports the support of the rank and file. HELPFUL SERVICE WILL BRING YOU HONOR You feel that there is "something about you" that prevents you from being chosen to fill positions for which other men are selected, but you know yourself that you try to avoid taking responsibilities and you never volunteer to do disagreeable things. In little things you have shown yourself neglectful, anything which requires time and thought and labor you avoid. Now, with such a disposition, is it any According to A. Paulip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission that it has no jurisdiction over the Pullman Porters' case fails only stirred and aroused a fanning determination on the part of the porters to fight to the finish. The answer of hundreds of porters who are reported as filling into the various division offices in all parts of the country, is the paying of a special levy and their due to redouble their activities and consolidate their forces for a complete show-down. Randolph points out that the dissenting opinion or three commissioners—Bassman, Lewis and Altichison—shows that there is grave doubt as to the tenability, soundness and legality of the decision. Mr. Henry T. Hunt, counsel for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, indicates probability wonder that your name new itself to the powers that be or lodge or social matters? at any time shown that you lodge to serve an apprentice der to get experiences and capability?

CHICAGO PHYSICIAN URGES EUROPEAN CONTACTS (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, Mar. 14.—Nothing, perhaps, portrays the actual progress that the Negro is making in America than does his growing interest in world affairs and in travel, as indicated in the large numbers of individuals and groups who annually visit European countries, with the opinion expressed to an Associated Negro Press representative here Thursday, by Dr. A Wilberforce Williams, eminent Chicago physician and chief of the medical service of the Provident Hospital. Dr. Williams further pointed out the fact that Negroes were now realizing the advantage of travelling in groups, instead of pulling the lone wolf act, and had learned that the group idea in Europe did not place a Jim Crow stigma upon the party, but afforded contacts that are not open to individuals. "These trips," declared Dr. Williams, "serve to give the members of our race a new and higher opinion of themselves. They elevate the Negro of America in the opinion of the Europeans who are more familiar with the 'jazz element' than with the professional and business men and women of the race. Then, too, they prove to the American white man that there are large numbers of colored Americans living right here with him who are interested in getting first-hand information of conditions that exist in other countries and to study the progress of other people." The Doctor was speaking from the experience gained in several trips abroad, the most recent of which was last summer when he headed a party of fourteen leaders in professional, business, and educational circles that toured Europe for 45 days. The party, according to reports of the members and press dispatches, was royally entertained in every country, the highlights being: the reception tendered the group by the Lord Mayor of London and the interview with the Pope of Rome. So beneficial was the tour last year, and in response to a flood of requests, Dr. Williams said a second tour had been arranged for this summer. To assure those who join the party of "the best of everything," the arrangements were placed in the hands of the Travel Department of the Hyde Park State Bank of Chicago, and the wisdom of this step has been indicated in the completeness and inclusiveness of the program. "While the trip is primarily for professional men" confided the Doctor, "the program as outlined and arranged, includes events of interest to every group. For the professional men and women there will be clinics at the largest And most famous hospitals of Vienna, Paris, and throughout Europe. For the educator will be the opportunity to inspect the systems of the leading educational institutions; on the continent. For the business men and women will be conferences with the captains of industry and commerce of the Old World and for all will be sightseeing tours and entertainments of interest and of cultural and educational value. Separate grounds, buildings, apartments for boys and girls. Matron lives with girl students; male attendants oversight of boys. Free books, no tuition charged. Modern conveniences. $30,000 new brick school building, inlaid hardwood (maple and oak) floors completely furnished. All grades of school work taught—Bookkeeping. Typewriting and College Course included in curriculum. Teachers chosen from best Negro Schools. Institution Non-Sectarian. $18.00 per month for board and lodging. "Accommodations have been secured for the party at the best hotels and from the time the party sails from New York City on the Steamship Westphalia on May 24, until the return on August 7," continued the Doctor, "the best or everything will be at the disposal of the group." The tour extends over a period of 75 days and covers Germany, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Italy, Monaco, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Holland, England and Ireland. For those who cannot leave on May 24, a later sailing date of June 2 has been arranged, and those sailing on that date will join the party in Berlin on June 9. While a representative number has already made arrangements to go, Dr. Williams is hoping that others will join the party before the sailing date. To furnish the desired information concerning the trip, the Doctor and the Travel Department of the Hyde Park State Bank have assembled this data in pamphlet form which will be sent upon application to Dr. Williams, Managing Director of the tour. FUNERAL DIRECTORS TO MEET IN BIRMINGHAM The Independent National Funeral Directors' Association, composed of Eighteen State and District Associations, has set the dates of its Third Annual Meeting in Birmingham, Alabama, for May 21-22-23, 1928.

Sleeping Car Conductors Win Long Fight Kansas City, Mo., March 6th.—The dispute between the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Conductors and the Pullman Company resulted in a victory Friday, 2nd, for the conductors by an increase in their wages of 5½% based on 240 hours per month. This is --- the second increase which the conductors have secured through their own organization. The minimum wage is $15.86 and the maximum $191.18. They are also paid 96 cents an hour for overtime, and 6 months back pay. The case was filed with the U. S. Mediation Board abutting the same time the Porter's Brotherhood filed its case. The Pullman Company yielded to arbitration but refused to arbitrate with the porters. One of the arbitrators whose name is withheld by request arrived in Kansas City last Saturday en route to the Pacific Coast. He said that the porters case was discussed frequently during the hearings and he is of the opinion that they will eventually win. He further stated that the porters will force the Pullman Company to recognize the brotherhood when they take a positive stand against the Company Union just as the conductors did. He alleges that one Pullman official told him that the porters had presented a stronger case than the conductors but the company will always refuse to recognize them as long as they can rely on a few reactionary "darkies" in each district to help establish an element of fear which will force the men to vote for the Company Union. In the meantime the brotherhood officials report a rapid increase in membership. Some of the most skeptic porters have been converted to the organization and are sending in their applications. Y. M.

Page- Two (A READER) There was a time whenever "any would-be orator or would-be writer desired to attract the attention of his hearers or readers he would invariably "jump on" the two most abused words in our American language—"SOCIAL EQUALITY"—which was, at its first selection nothing short of a boo-ga-boo, but which, after being produced so often lost its scare and aweing power as everyone saw that it was nothing more than so many words. As times change and years roll on, the ever gullible public is forever burdened with the presentation of these "boog-a-boos," which, of course, change their attire, but nevertheless remain the same old "boog-a-boo." On the other hand there is always somebody produced in every age and time who brings forth this awe-inspiring something, and as soon as it is produced it has many who seek to champion its achievements, but of what they champion FEW know. The very latest that time and seasons have produced within our very small group (just another "boogaboo") is this so-called "LEADERSHIP." Every time a new "speller" looms on the horizon, either in speech or writing, he shoves his companion—LEADERSHIP—forward, distracts the attention of the public with this "boogaboo" and gets away with something else. The "speller" takes him everywhere—in his church, in his civic affair, in his commercial affairs, in his social functions, and lately he brings him forward in his POLITICS. Leadership in itself is all right, but the average individual who seeks to champion its cause is all "wet" in his reasoning, as evidenced in an article written by one Mr. John Fowler (who has been back in town just about long enough to know Central Avenue and streets connecting therewith) in the columns of the New Age-Dispatch, in which he seeks to essays the cause of Hon. Frederick M. Roberts, Assemblyman of the 47th District, whom he avers has had five terms of service, and on whom he seeks to throw the mantle of this sald boog-a-boo—"LEADERSHIP." But I rise at this juncture to ask—"AND HOW?" Our writer, in his earnest effort to be-cloud the issue shouts "Leadership." Our good writer is all mixed up. Any public office holder cannot be a leader for any one select group, but is the voice for and of all the people from whom he gets his politi- If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened local existence, be the Black or White, Jew or Gentile. Don't try to be gaggle the issue, Brothers with this "book-a-boo, for like "Social Equality," its just so many words. This writer good on to name such real FIGHTING H-E-P-R-E-S-N-T-A-T-I-V-E-S as Senator Hiram M. Johnson, a man who has gained his spurs by fighting for the people and California—not by silence; Senator Samuel M. Shortridge, a man who stated at all times the wants and desires of the people he represented—not by merely casting his vote. And in the same breath he says: "To my mind, the Hon. Fred M. Roberts belongs to the favored class. Five terms of service has earned for him a right to the great devotion of the people of the great State of California." The people anywhere in the country owe the public office holder NOTHING, while on the other hand the public office holder owes the people EVERYTHING. Is just the fact that Hon. Fred M. Roberts has been unoccupied and sends to Sacramento for five sessions the only reason to "earn for him a RIGHT to the great devotion of the people?" I ask, What tangible representation has been done by our Assemblyman from the 74th District?—Did I hear an answer: "NOTHING?"—And that is correct. Five terms is long enough an OPPORTUNITY for anyone to accomplish something, and not doing so, should be dealt with as the man to whom was given one talent, which he buried, and at the coming of the Master he having done nothing with his talent (Oportunity) it was taken from him and turned over to another to use. Our Representative (with apologies to Mr. Fowler) has had his OPPORTUNITY in five sessions, and having done nothing with it, let us at this time give it to another—one who, at all times, has breasted the tape when the Common. Everyday People's interests were at stake: one who, at all times has striven that all men should be up and no man down; one who is appreciative and always mindful of the people's consideration; one who has push and aggressiveness enough to seek and obtain at all times the things of most advantage for his District in particular, and the great State of California in general—The HONGBABLE JOSEPH BLACKBURN BASS, Editor of the "Soaring Eagle." Let him, at this time, be given the OPPORTUNITY to represent you as your Assemblyman from the 74th District, and at the expiration of another five sessions (maybe less than that) if he fails to give a good account of himself and bring you a good report, then select another, and continue on down the line until some one shall have succeeded in bringing you something tangible. But don't permit one who has accomplished nothing within this period to monopolize the office, for he can only remain, (as the Los Angeles Times once said) "Silent as the Sphinx." And again, I say, Mr. Fowler, "Leadership"—AND HOW? INTER-RACIAL MEETING A GRAND SUCCESS BERKELEY, CAL., Mar. 10.—The public meeting held last night in the hall of the University Y. W. C. A. was indeed a successful gathering. The music rendered by Mr. cnd Miss Wren was well received and highly appreciate. The address by Mrs. Esther Jones Lee, president of the California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs was full of cogent thought and was very impressive. Mr. John read Mr. Matthews' address as Mr. Matthews had to leave Tuesday for Washington on official business. The treatment of the political systems and movements, the history and present of the Negro in American politics, and the forecast for the future, from one with a wealth of practical, as well as theoretical experience, was an education to all present. It was the discussion after the program that was a revelation, and showed how much these meetings, with the aim of mutual understanding, and intellectual contact, mean. Mr. Arthur Gray, of Oakland, presented the viewpoint of the U. N. I. A., followed by discussion. All the various schools of Negro social thought were touched upon. The discussion, scheduled for forty minutes, lasted an hour and a half. There were about eighteen colored people present, about three Hindoos, two Philippinos, and about two hundred white people. The maturity of the audience, the ripe scholarship of the persons rising to the floor, and the absence of the frivolous, were outstanding features of the gathering. The hall is at the gate of the University. A goodly representation of University students and faculty members was there. The program was planned and arranged by Mr. Leon Whitaker of Los Angeles. Labor Wins Over Capital Occasionally jurisprudence has the courage where a wage dispute is involved to grant a decision favorable to employees. This departure from a favored custom startles Capital. The idea of a court issuing an injunction against employers!—ridiculous! This weapon was presumed to be reserved for Capital against striking employees. However, Federal Judge J. C. Hutcheson, Jr. of Houston, Texas, has issued an injunction against three high officials of the Southern Pacific Company (Texas Lines) restraining them from interfering with the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks. If injunctions are to be used at all, why not against Capital when it is wrong, for what is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. The immediate context of the opinion of the Judge might be summarized as follows: (1) There must be a complete disestablishment or the Association of Clerical Employees (a company union), and the withdrawal of said association as the sole, or as any representative of the clerical employees. (2) The Southern Pacific must cease to permit officers and representatives of the company union to organize, promote, manage or attend to the business of such association, or any organization hereafter formed, on company time, at company expense and under the aegis of the authority of the defendants. (3) The Southern Pacific must reinstate and re-establish the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks as the sole representative in all matters relating to the employment of clerks by defendant and continue to recognize said brotherhood as such representative until the employees by secret ballot, taken in accordance with the orders of the court, shall choose other representatives. (4) The Southern Pacific must restore Harper and Walker, the chairman and secretary of the clerks' committee, without prejudice or loss of seniority and so maintain them until such time as the employees shall choose other representatives, or Harper and Walker shall resign or be discharged for what may appear to the court as good and sufficient cause. (5) The Southern Pacific must re store to Harper and Walker the pass privileges which they enjoyed prior to the suit. (6) Stalling, Hudson and Ginabear, three loyal brotherhood men, must be restored to service without prejudice and they must be paid for all time lost on account of dismissal. (7) The Southern Pacific must pay $2,000 to the brotherhood's attorney as fees and expenses resulting from violations of the court's injunctions. S. "It is further ordered and adjudged that if defendants, H. M. Lull, G. Waid and J. G. Torgain fail to perform one or more of the acts, ordered, they shall be sent to and confined in the Harris County Jail until such time as they are ready and willing to perform such acts." This sweeping decision in Labor's favor elates us very much, though not for reasons that we believe in the use of the injunction as an equitable remedy, devised to supplant the law; but for reasons that the expedient most generally used by Capital against Labor upon the presumption that the latter is always wrong in such disputes has been reversed by the courts, proving that Capital sometimes goes wrong (?) and must be restrained from violating the law. Where such is the case Capital vehemently protests and exclaims that our magnificent democracy is going to the winds. Why? It is less than six months since the writer, as a representative of the Dining Car employees on Southern Pacific lines, was in wage conference with these same officials. They seem to have an opinion that by virtue of the fact they, as representatives of a powerful corporation, should disparage every effort on the part of Labor seeking to better intolerable working conditions. It is true that when employees seek to adjust conditions of work and pay that are deplorable it is held by them that the position Labor takes in such matters becomes contumacious to the interest of Capital, whose arguments are infallable in such matters. We trust that the decision of this wise judge will establish a precedent to be followed by other Federal Courts and that it will have its moral effect in teaching the officials in question and Capital in general, that the rights and privileges of those who produce and make Capital shall not be flouted, for if the principles of democracy are to be safe-guarded and the foundations of our government to stand there must be no privilege rights to any group or class, other than provided by our constitution.

Weems, age 28, who bore the reputation of being one of the oldest inhabitants of this town, died here Thursday night after a short illness. Weems death recalled the report that was historical story here that at one time he owned the great part of Picayune. The story runs that Weems moved to Picayune from Waynesboro and purchased several large tracts, which at that time was considered as "bad land." Weems, however, believed otherwise and proved that it was fertile. With the fertility of the soil came the hostility of neighbors and the subsequent transfer of the property to white ownership. At the time of his death Weems owned a small farm upon which he lived with his wife and eight children. Coolidge Flood Control Plan Camden, Ark., Mar. 13.—The committee of leading Negro citizens of the state, headed by Rey, V. M. Townsend has returned from Washington, where the members conferred with President Coolidge in the interest of flood control in the Mississippi Valley. The committee protested against the provision that the states pay twenty per cent of the cost of relief measures on the ground that it would work an unusual hardship on the Negro citizens. Hickory, N. C., Mar. 12.-Officers did not mind John Hill calling on his sweetheart, who lived on the second floor of the family for whom she worked, but just could not understand his mode of entrance. Hill was discovered by officers in the act of scaling the porch at the rear. He explained to the officers that he was simply making a social call, but was held for questioning. His sweetheart corroborated his story and told the officers that the key to the back door had been misplaced and he was using the "best way in." Prominent South Carolina Woman Dies (By: A. N. P.)

Every suit is a bargain, and the store is filled with people who wish to buy—nearly all of them men. A few men stand near the counters, making selections. Many more stand behind them, impatient but well-mannered, awaiting their turn. Any one of them had rather miss a bargain than make a scene. A dozen or more large women are present, having in tow husbands or sons. These dear creatures, impatient of delay, calmly plough through the crowds of waiting men, need a clerk to answer questions, they seize one by the arm as he scurries past. In short, they get service and get it promptly while mere men cool their heels. An unthinking observer would say: "These women are superior to men. They get what they want." The truth is that if any man should begin to elbow his fellows aside in complete disregard of the rules of fairness and good sportsmanship somebody would disarrange his face. Men are courteous to one another because courtesy is the first part of discretion. A woman can, in the language of our day, get away with murder—solely because she is a woman—solely because men of our day, almost without exception, aspire to be gentlemen, and the bedrock of gentility is chivalry. Chivalry is a ball and chain in competition. Where women are concerned, any man who is reasonably decent pulls his punches. Eventually woman may boss the world by reason of sheer merit. But until chivalry is dead they won't get a chance to show what they can do in a fair fight. A BLOW TO BOOSTERS Americans worship many amounting to idolatry approachists of brazen toes.

Two of the nation's most worshipped idols are Thomas A. Edison, in whom the masses see a yellow-craftsman par excellence, and the skyscraper, which is exalted by them as the noblest expression of human progress. With what confusion and lamentation, then, must idolaters have discovered that their one idol looks askance at the other idol. That the inventor is not a skyscraper devotee he makes plain in these words: "The skyscraper, originally built as a time-saver, eventually must be restricted to prevent it becoming a loser of time because of the great masses of people who will be leaving and entering the buildings at the same time." Thus does Mr. Edison snatch away from the "Boosters" and "go-getters" the standard by which they measure the onward march of civilization. And here, also, you have the whole story of progress upset. Nothing tickles a booster more than milling throngs and jammed thoroughfares and public conveyances. It is so pleasingly suggestive of a million population by 1938, or what date have you? No doubt worshipful ones can never forgive Mr. Edison, but his prophecy may aid the plain and sane thinking majority to retain its accustomed serenity when boosters grow delirious over future skylines and even more fabulous populations.

Have not boys and girls from the farms driven away in it to the city? Have not moralists and sentimentalists accused it of breaking the home circle? In fact, where is there a so-called social evil of today that this satanic invention hasn't had a hand in? If it is true that the automobile has brought all these ills upon humanity, it has more than compensated for them by one blessing it has brought. This boon to mankind is the abolition of that ancient and overworked customed of the "social call." Anyone who attempts to find an old friend "at home" in this automotive age comes sharply to a realiation of the utter futility of trying to be neighborly and sociable. To those so hopelessly old-fashioned as to go "calling" on a sunshiny Sunday afternoon the houses of the village must seem as deserted as Goldsmith's "Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain." What pangs of unsurfeited curiosity the ladies of gossip must suffer in this era when the new family in the neighborhood is never "at home to callers" at times when it is perfectly proper for a member of the auxiliary to call! And with this one constant threat of an unannounced visit from Mrs. Pecksniff down the street and this incentive for domestic tidiness and extravagance in household furnishings removed, is there not grave danger of that predicted deterioration of the home? Motoring has usurped the place of the "afternoon call" as the great Sunday pastime of the nation. The chap who takes hair tonic internally usually finds that his thoughts go wool-gathering. No matter what the mathematicians say, one side of the eternal triangle always seems to be greater than the sum of the other two.

Willis Secures Valuable Oil Lease Fully Equipped And THE C DRIBBLE NOT Commissioner Hueston is discussing the Elks Educational Program said that the Department of Education of the Order of Elks was very hopeful that citizens everywhere would join in assisting the Elks in carrying out this week's proga into the end that it would result in creating a burning desire in each youth of school age for college education, as it is apparent that this kind of Education is indicated by the exacting requirements of the age. Then too, said the Commissioner, speaking personally, that since the Order was not restrictive in its scholarships grants, but held them open to all, striving youth irrespective of Race, Creed or Color, he hoped that the Order would be encouraged in its generous efforts by all other persons and organizations voluntarily joining in and helping to carry out this program. Lie On Credit Rather Than Tell The Truth For Cash Nearly seven years ago, I, the undersigned, bough and settled down on 1356 E. 110th Street. It used to be Jones Avenue, No. 816, Watts, Calif. Never have I bothered anybody's business. Two years later, my son, Frank Johnson, 19 years of age was killed and the guilty parties have never been apprehended. Every time I began to trace after this criminal, then comes one who calls himself a fixer, and starts a plan to kill my influence to keep me from capturing the murdered and this has been going on for years, and yet not even one time have I ever been guilty of any charge. Not only in Los Angeles or Watts in its day, but never in my life and to show to everybody that this is a frame up I will give $100.00 for any one time that I ever brought the law upon anyone. Neither have I reported or been a witness in any whiskey or bootlegging business at all. In fact I know nothing at all about such business. Last fall when I was threatened about the ice route, then the whiskey business started again. See how close together that they work. Some of them go around and tell the people that I won't pay my debts. I do not think that I ever did owe a colored man or woman a dollar since I have been in Watts. Go to the business men here and where I came from and see what they say. From my birth to this present time, let's go back there and check up to date and see who can stand with me. That is fair. I will go fifty-fifty on the expense bill. They come into my place and take what they want, and I cannot tell how often that my place has been robbed of clothes, money, lumber, tools, auto parts, rear and front ends and motor. Thought I must not even tell it. If I do the fixer comes along and puts up a bad job on me, stops the people from speaking to me and then, I. W. O. Johnson, knows nothing. The fixer can have his way right off, don't you see. I, the undersigned, don't know even one officer in the city of Watts, have never been in court seen or heard one case tried since I have been here and while I don't owe anyone I wish that my accusers would help me to find out how many that owes me, and I do owe anything in Watts bring your claim and get your money or stop lying. Hence I want to say that all of those things that are being said are without any foundation at all, and how can Christian people take part in any such things as these. I know that is nothing but the Lord that has kept me alive and I believe that the Lord will keep me right on. I have been fair to all that I have dealt with. For five years I waited for this lie to stop and so far as the ice business. I think that I have just as much right to sell ice to my people as any foreigner does or any other citizen. I think that if everybody will watch the fixer and the ones that are telling these things on W. O. Johnson, you will soon find cut who the traitor, murderer and thief is. E. W. O. Johnson, will expect the Lord to be my judge and I will also give $100.00 for the proof sufficient to convict those who are going around conspiring on my life and telling people not to speak to me. In the end I will say that I am not at all interested in whiskey in any way what so ever. I am in the ice business and that is my study. Anyone connecting me or my influence to the whiskey business has lied. W. O. JOHNSON. 1356 E. 110th St. Newton Street Police Doings You cannot beat the loyalty and patriotic spirit demonstrated by the officers of Newton Street Police Division when the great catastrophe was reported from Santa Paula Valley last Monday night, when all hands volunteered services for service to flood sufferers, on their own time and in their own cars.

Willis has closed negotiations with the Lankerskier esthetic and A. W. Lyon, for a lease on Valuable oil land off the Piru-Fillmore Highway in Ventura County, California. The property lies midway between the E. L. Doheny and California Petroleum Corporation properties in Ventura County. There are eight shallow wells now A R. W. WILLIS Holder of Lease In operation on the lease, and it is Mr. Willis' intention to put in operation an intensive drilling campaign, penetrating the deeper oil producing sands. Experienced oil men have felt there was an extensive deep oil pool in the Piru-Fillmore District, and Geologists are of the belief that this pool will be found under the Willis property. With the idea of intelligently developing the property, Mr. Willis has secured the services of Lee Stainbrook an experienced driller and oil man A. B. R. H. HEAD formerly of the Texas and Wyoming fields. Mr. Stainbrook will devote his entire time to this work and has every confidence of making this property one of the best revenue producing leases in California. Mr. Willis is now organizing an operating Company to be known as the Willis Petroleum Company. In response to an invitation of Mr. Lewis to visit the property as mentioned above, on last Friday in company with Mr. Willis, A. H. Southard Contractor, R. B. Scott, transfer mer WORKING CREW Willis Oil Lease of Pasadena, a representative from this paper, journeyed to these properties, some 60 miles to Ventura County. Here we viewed the wonderful canyon which encompasses the Lankershier lease. It appeared to us a miniature "Tea Pot Dome", we could see ozing out the mountain side off on all sides of the canyon, we saw the mighty engine pumping away at the eight producing-wells, also the huge tanks for the storage of the oil and the pipe line which carries this product tothe railroad for shipping purposes. We talked with Mr. Steinbrook who is in the employ of the new lessee, Mr. Willis, and found him very enthusiastic as to the present production, OIL TANKS Derricks in The Distance and the probabilities for the future. Mr. Willis in procuring the lease on this producing lease, it seems, has made a master stroke and will no doubt easily form a worthwhile organization to operate and put on the market the product therefrom with a handsome profit for those who participate. Included in the party which made the trip of inspection on last Friday was W. R. Willis, holder of the lease, A. H. Southard, R. B. Scott, Rev. V. M. Cole and Mr. A. C. Wilson, a local geologist. Many are the compliments tendered Mr. Willis for his success in procuring this valuable lease. Among which is one from the great oil authority, Mr. D. W. Beauty, which follows: Los Angeles, Cal., March 8, 1928. Mr. R. W. Willis. Los Angeles, Calif. Dear Mr. Willis:— I want to take this opportunity of congratulating you on your having concluded negotiations for lease on 160 acres of land off the Piru-Fillmore Highway in Ventura County, Califor R. H. SOUTHARD A. C. WILSON Sitting on Porch Tool House nia. This property is owned by the Lankershim estate and A. W. Lyona, and, in my judgment, is one of the best prospective oil properties in the Piru section. For the past few years, I have been particularly interested in this oil lease, having prospected it with a number or oil men and Geologists, and I am frank to tell you that we have figured that there is an oil pool under the property and with the deep drilling you contemplate, it is my belief you will strike this pool. In my judgment, this lease is easily worth in the neighborhood of $100,000.00 to anyone who has in mind the future development of the property. You now have eight producing wells on the property, you have plenty of gas to operate the lease and in addition, have all the water running through the property that you need. As near as I can find out, their enerv er has been a well drilled on this property that did not produce oil, and these wells run from 60 feet to 1100 feet in depth. It I can be of any assistance to you at ay time. I trust you will feel free to call upon me. Wishing you every success in your development of the property and as suring you of my well wishes, I am. Very truly yours, D. M. BEATTY. LEVY-FORBY NUPTIALS By: Dan Cupid has again been vigorous in his archetype. He took careful aim and drove two arrows right into the earth of two now very happy "love birds" hearts. The result was that on the eventful evening of Saturday March 10th, Mrs. Clyde Forby and Mr. Charles H. Levy were happily joined in that holy and sacred bond of matrimony. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride, 1143 E. 46th street, At S o'clock, Miss Lucille Forby, the pretty and charming daughter of the bride, struck the harmonious notes to "Is it a Sin to Say I Love You?" and proceeded to render it, playing and singing with the light and fantastic touch of an arch-angel and the melodic and harmonious voice of a nightingale. After this she played Mendelsohn's Wedding March, at which time, the After this she played Mendelssohn's Wedding March, at which time, the bride entered on the arm of the groom. She was exquisitely gowned in a gor- THE CONFERENCE DRIBBLES OUT TO NOTHING It appears that some of the Bapst presidents have a "heart" as well, even the Law of the Baptist church and are, inherently unprepared to make any kind of correction upon others until they show a willingness to do what is right. The are breeding known laws either from ignorance of these laws or, having such wicked purposes in their hearts that they are blinded. The Council that was to have tried Mr. Gordon, was by you, changed into mutual conference, because they saw that they had made fatal blunders in calling the council. A conference can remain a conference only so long as both sides are agreed to contend. When one side drops out for whatever cause, it can no longer be a mutual conference. And in the Baptist Law there is no name, for such a meeting. So I will "call it a Baptist Fungus." All of the opposing or conference brethren withdrew, having never seen anything like this in their lives. Some of the men acted like politicians, who are getting a handsome rake off some acted as if their bread and meat were involved, some acted as from personal grudges against Dr. Gordon. Gordon some evinced an unborn jealousy of Dr. Godroth's ability, and were anxious to make a complete job of it, at the absence of Dr. Gordon, and his friends. It was a pitiful sight to see that there were only three or four pastors of churches, the rest were churchless pastors; and the sickly neighing reminded one that Dr. Gordon, had put the rope of church polity a little too tight around the neck of the conference, and as the result it gave last Tuesday, its dying kicks, which are always dangerous, if your are standing too near. Not since I've been in this city have I seen the dignity and glory of some of our grand old churches so compromised—One church furnished from its membership, six of Dr. Gordon's fire eating opponents. But for all of this the church is not to blame, nor had it been consulted. At last, the conference, so called, decided that they would drop the matter, but serve notice that they are not satisfied, with at least four counts against Dr. Gordon. Some of these gentlemen are seeking to keep Dr. Gordon out of their palpits, even if they cannot stop him in the general public, especially on funeral occasions. I promise these gentlemen not to trouble them any more or their churches since I see what their troubles are. Now, which one of these gentlemen could satisfy the other? And what can Dr. Gordon do that would satisfy these brethren? They could not afford to be taught anything and yet they do not understand. Well, I will say, if what I preach is hid, it is hid from those who are in spiritual darkness. More and more it is apparent, that this is a new day, and men must know the gospel as well as the record of the gospel. The record is like the Bill board. But the gospel is the show, that which the record is speaking of. The Baptism of the Holy Ghost is the great need of the ministry now, and this is what the brethren need.

Many social affair are being planned for the bowitching Lillian on her return to this city. geous white beaded georgette gown with white satin slippers. Mrs. Jarman stood with the bride and Mr. James S. Harris, a friend of the groom for years, stood with the groom. The Rev. H. B. Hawes performed the ceremony. Although celebrated quietly and with a few close friends, it was an extremely colorful affair. The house was gorgeously decorated. The air was rent with the sweet essence of invigorating plant life. The new and elaborate furnishings, which the groom purchased for his bride, were shown off to a better degree by the numerous colored lights that lent their refrasing and illuminating rays to the scene. After the ceremony, the guests retired to the dining room where they were served. In the course of this, a beautiful, huge, thirty pound wedding cake was displayed. It was so uniquely and artistically designed and engraved that it might have been thought that Leonardo de Vinci or Michael Angelo themselves had worked a hand on it. The ravishing desires of the guests were satisfied for it was cut by the charming bride. The remaining part of the evening was spent in dancing and card playing. The guests departed about eleven o'clock wishing the Levys a long happy and prosperous married life. Among those present were: Mendames Thompson. Z. Smith. Jarman Grace Boswell: Misses Lutille Forby. Naomi Armstrong, Gladys Johnson: Messrs. John and Wm. Carter. Geo Thompson, James S. Harris and family, Jerman Hayward, Kelsey, Geo Tate and others. The Levys are at home to their many friends at 1143 E. 46th street. Friday, March 16, 1928 BY: W. J. WHEATON In all this agitation for the repeal of the law licensing Boxing bouts in California we read the undercurrent of color prejudice. Some of the propositions of the repeal try to camouflage their feelings by displacing the tendency or mixed matches to stay in racial relations, but if their context comprises more than twenty words the real thing—color—will be found as the basis of the agitation. There are any number of the colored citizens who would join willingly with any honest effort to make California the leading State in progressive humanitarianism. But it must be an honest effort. Free from the taint of color prejudice. Here is an excerpt from an effusion of the Rev. Doctor Frederick W. Clampitt, noted representative of the Clergy. He writes: "In that brutal fight in Los Angeles the Basque, Uzcudun, becomes the target of the Ape-like Negro, Godfrey, who rains blows on his helpless victim." Even the representative of the Christian religion could not refrain from the showing of his color animus. In physical appearance Godfrey is as far removed from the Ape as the learned Dr. is from his ancestors, the Cave Man. He, Godfrey, is one of the finest specimens of physical manhood. Even his features are free from any Apish appearance, and no vestige of brutality. It is the desire of every good citizen or California to see it a State clean in every respect. Even of color prejudice. What a fine shindy the Donkey riders are having in the quest of a winning ticket of delegates to the Demmy Conclave in Houston—Reed, Missouri; Smith, New York; Walsh, Montana. They are off to one of the finest "Kilkeny's" ever pulled off in a political arena; here or elsewhere. ex-Governor or Lowden seems to have the edge on Republican aspirants, especially in the agricultural belt. He is also making a hold bid for the delegates from the "Cotton States." The Hoover backers are optimistic, and some go so far as to claim his nomination for a certainty, but if you will review the presidential nominations from Grant with his immortal 300 to Leonard Wood in 1920, no candidate was nominated who went into the convention with a load of pledged delegates short of the number to nominate. Word comes from the East that Senator Hiram Johnson, Calif., is gaining steadily, in popularity as the people begin to know him for his fearless honesty and advocacy of equal justice. Whenever his picture is thrown on the screen it evokes thunderous applause. Slow but surely the Johnson-Swould Bound Dam bill is overcoming the legislative obstacles. It has been a bitter contest; a strong,ious fight to defeat the powerful lobby maintained by the Power Trust, but neither Senator Johnson nor Congressman Swing are quitters. The powerful Southern Pacific R. $_{2}$ will attest to tifat. How many American Negroes remembered the 5th of March as one of the most momentous in the history of the Race? How many parents gathered their young about them and told them the story of Crispus Attucks and how he made the Supreme Sacrifice on the altar of Patriotism, laid down his life; a stone in the foundation of this nation? It should be the pride of every Negro child to quote these lines from the headstone in the old chapel burial ground in Boston, Mass. "Long as in freedom's cause the wise contend. Dear to your country shall your fame extend: While to the ages the lettered stone shall tell, Where Maverick, Gray and Attucks fell." Our heritage in the nation from Attucks to the present date is too great to be bartered away lightly. We must watch it with jealous zeal; see that the rights vouchsafed us by loyal sacrifice, is not endangered by demagogue foes within the Race or out. March 12 is the birth date of one who was among the eminent American Negroes whom history will record as great. The late Colonel Charles D. Young, scholar, constructive counselor, soldier. There was nothing spectacular in the career of Col. Young. He worked quietly, but effectively for everything that was beneficial to the people he loved—The people of color—His services to the Republic of Liberia stamped him as a genius for organization. His profound scholarship put him in the forerank of statesmen; as a soldier he had the love and loyalty of his subordinates, and commanded the respect of his superiors in rank. But greater than all was his love for the people with whom he was identified—the American Negro. He sought by precept and example to encourage them in their struggle upward. He was a living example of what strenuous battering can do in breaking down barriers, and though he died a martyr to color hate, crucified on the cross of Race Prejudice, his name shall yet stand out among the great of this nation. The Race is pretty well rid of the preacher in partizan politics who surreptitiously sold out his congregation. We wonder if we are going to be forced to guillotine the fraternal political parasites who are worming in the back door. Gardner In Front A FATHER TIME will take care of the old fellows in Pyle's patient, painful, pace-making, persevering Pedalogue. The winner of this race will be a young man and that young man will be Ed. Gardner, only 26 years old. The old fellows are already dropping out rapidly. They can't stand it.

T those squeaky joints with his sick "Where's Gardner now?" "What's the latest news from Gardner?" are the questions asked by white and black, both down town and on the "Avenue," as groups gather to discuss the greatest footrace in history. That Gardner is a member of the Ethiopian race seems to have drawn the attention, wonderment and curiosity of the white races and the pride, support, hopes and even prayers of the members of his race as people of all races all over the world watch the outcome or this super-human contest that calls for all the greatest mental determination and physical strength and stamina ever displayed in the history of the world. Truly Pyke waited 1928 years for some one to stage one to stage one and they did not, so, he did. So, Erdie wins, why, hats off to him, and white as well as black will accalm him as the greatest runner of all time. With a steady lope, like a lean, gray wool, Ed. ran into Barstow last Thursday at the head of the then large caravan of runners, after 36 miles across the barren Mojave desert with a burning wind stinging his face in the remarkable time of 5 hours, 15 min., 30 seconds. With rare judgment he did not try to hold this lead across the rest of the heart-breaking desert wastes but let some of the others burn themselves out trying to keep ahead while he dropped back to 2nd place at Bagdad. From then on he has been 2nd or 3rd with total elapsed time always cut down some. Monday night, after being ferried across the Colorado River, Arthur Newton, with 44 years or age to gradually eliminate him ran into Gatman, Arizona first. Following the Rhodesian, who made the 17-mile lap from Needles in 4:43:30 was Eddle Gardner, David Davies of Canada was third, Nester Erickson, fourth and Peter Gayuzi fifth. MORE GIFTS OFFERED EDDIE Although little is heard of the other black runners they are still in with the exception of Harry Johnson who was struck by a speeding motorist and injured so he had to drop out. Sammy Robinson, Toby Josephs and Granville are still plugging along. An interview with the local citizens who offered gifts to Eddie Gardner if he wins revealed that they are really in earnest and intend to keep their promises to him. MR, R. A.

A suitable opponent is being selected for him. Such is the chorus of Western fight promoters, as the news a received that Tom Jones, great San Bernardino boy, will return shortly to see about the "white and black hopes" of the West. During his unearned suspension he has been in the East meeting and beating the best heavyweights. His suspension is up on the 29th.

And straight way uneasy managers of heavyweights and light-heavyweights both white and colored got uneasy and drew still tighter the lines and frivolous excuses WILLIE HENRY (The Texas Steer) "Keep Off Jazz, That's Blue Blower's Stuff" Cry Lincoln Fans Lincoln Theatre fans are Mosby fans. Every one is welcome to take part in the famous Midnite Rumble held every Saturday night and orchestras or individual musicians may render what they please, but from comments after she shows it seems that Mosby's brand of jazz has a peculiar flavor that leaves a taste that tails. "Ain't no use talkin', Nobody can't play no jazz for me no time but Mosby's band," are some of the comments usually heard, no the streets after the shows, and the three and four encores after each number testify their sincerity. With the regretted departure of Doc Straine's company a still greater responsibility falls on the capable shoulders of the Prince of Jazz. Each week he will have to do what Eddie Peabody, Abe Lyman, Erskine Tate, Paul Ashe and other great orchestra leaders do, that is, give presentations that will hold and interest the theatre goers with constantly changing programs, versatile with spice and variety. The Prince or Jazz will do it, and how! by which they have dodged him. Giving away over fifteen pounds, the powerful beautifully built colored flash fought rings around his big white opponent and only Johnson's toughness, covering, and lack of aggressiveness saved him from a K.

However when the undertaker got ready to embalm the supposed corpse, why he met with unexpected opposition from the patient, with the result that the fact was established that all sickness isn't death. The automobile is the main agent of matrimony. It played a prominent part in the marriage ceremony of Bilo the comedian this week when he forced the pastor of a certain flock to marry him at 4 A. M. last Sunday morning. As the story goes he was from 11 P. M. Saturday night till 3:30 A. M. Sunday morning convincing the young lady why he was the logical one to guide her through life—matrimoniously speaking. Having convinced her he found a minister right quick before she changed her mind. Congratulations! Mr. Jack Mitchell made a hurried motor trip to Bakersfield and returned during the week-end. Mr. Geo. Beavers and his auto made a flying trip to San Diego this week. Has anyone seen Mr. John Hopgood. Ask him about the 9:20 P. M. motor trip he and the madam made last week. Dr. C. Hudson's wife is wearing an unusual smile this week. Investigation brought out the fact that the Dr. has just purchased a brand new Franklin sedan. What woman wouldn't smile. The Benjamin Bowie Post of the American Legions spread themselves last Saturday night when they held a reception and dance in honor of the building's inmates. Parking space was at a premium. Rev. Williams who holds forth at Watts surprised his friends by arriving at services last Sunday morning with a Dodge sedan. Mr. and Mrs. Prather treated some friends to a motor outing Sunday.

Recently considerable space was given in newspapers throughout the country concerning a fuelless motor invention which if true will revolutionize the gas engine industry to the extent that airplanes, automobiles, and in fact anything requiring locomotive en- NEGRO CLAIMS PATENT As regards this new invention that is startling the world and which has caused the stock exchange market to flutter, there is residing in this city an inventive type of Negro, Jack Montgomery, who claims and displays, a basic patent issued by the U. S. Patent Office as regards the motor. A year ago last December there appeared in one of the leading white dailies an article concerning Montgomery and his motor. For year, anbeknown to the public Montgomery experimented with birds, chief of them being the buzzard, whose gliding and floating, motionless in the ahr, has been a wonder to mankind on account of the duration. His method was to take a dead bird, pump it ful of palmhide, scientifically set its wings, attach it to a captive balloon with a release trigger and send it up several hundred or a thousand and feet and cut it loose. These birds in many instances have glided 10 miles or more from Santa Monica where the experiments were made to Long Beach at times. Following this Montgomery began to harness the principal into machinery and claims to have fully developed a fuelless motor capable of developing any horsepower that can be universally used for any purpose from a power plant in an office building to an airplane. CLAIM BACKING He claims to have unlimited backing in his enterprise and a brick building was recently erected in Hollywood to manufacture his patent. While we have seen the purported patent papers issued by the government, we haven't seen the machine itself, his machine on paper appears feasible. Mr. Montgomery informed us some time ago that he had a contract—two years—with the Japanese government for his services and patent and secured a passport some time ago in preparation for making the trip. However, he is still in our midst and we hope, if he has what he claims, that he'll make a little more noise about it and let the world know that the Negro as an inventor is still on the job. The race has lost much credit due it along the lines of invention through lax methods of the inventor.

Musicians, Sportsmen, Entertainers ALL DEMAND—"The Perfect Hair Dressing" ask for CUBAN DREAM TUXEDO FINISH Makes Juan stay put BEFORE Drillantine AFTER With the number of motor cars constantly increasing and touring season not far off, it is necessary and proper to discuss the motorist who takes chances. The subject of this editorial is grade crossings. $ ^{a} $ Grade crossings have not yet been eliminated to any appreciable degree; nor will they be for some time to come, regardless of the fact that much money and time has been spent and is being spent to bring about their removal. Until such time as this elimination has been brought about, it behooves all motorists to be extremely careful and to take no chances. The National Automobile Club, spurred by the ever-rising wave of automobile accidents and the staggering total of resultant havoc and fatalities, is continuing with increased vigor its campaign to reduce the number of automobile deaths during 1928. In a recent safety "educational" bulletin issued by the club, special stress is laid on the danger of grade crossings; on the number of grim deaths resulting from carelessness on the parts of motorists; on failure in response of mechanical parts of cars, and on the tremendous responsibility resting upon the motorist. An uneasy foot resting upon the accelerator, impatient for a quick getaway. A mad effort to shoot across the tracks in front of a train. These are ghastly factors—factors contributing to increased business for undertakers, according to the safety bulletin. The average sane motorist would just as soon stop in front of a 42-centimeter cannon as on a railroad track with a train speeding down upon him at the rate of 60 miles an hour. Yet, each year, the bulletin points out, there are hundreds of grusome tragedies caused by those who insist upon taking a chance. The car stalls and the driver has taken his last chance. The responsibility is chiefly the motorist's, states the bulletin. Regardless of whose fault the accident may be, the driver is charged with a duty to himself and to those whose well-being is entrusted to him. In this connection, attention is again called to the fact that a recent decision made by the Supreme Court of the United States placed upon motorists the burden of protecting themselves at unguarded railroad crossings.

CUSTY BRAKE PINS MAY CAUSE SKIDS See to it that the brake pins and all the exposed joints of the brake rigging on car are oiled regularly. Otherwise, according to L. G. Evans of the National Automobile Club, it is impossible for the brakes to deliver or a hundred per cent efficiency. A rusty brake pin or equalizer joint will throw the pressure to one side rather than equally distributing it, and this will evidence itself to the driver by one skidding wheel and no brakes on the other side. REMOVAL NOTICE Atty. Towson S. Grasty announces the removal of his office from 224 South Spring to Suite 610, Bryson Building, 145 South Spring, Phone ME. 0297. Unguarded crossings are the scene of most accidents in which trains and motor cars are involved. In emphasizing the fact that the burden of avoiding grade crossing accidents necessarily rests with the automoblist almost solely, the bulletin presents this information: A train running only 40 miles an hour requires 1,320 feet in which to stop, whereas the average automobile going at a 40-mile speed can be stopped in 93 feet, and it requires only a few seconds. The locomotive engineer is practically helpless, no matter how great his skill: how strict his vigilance; how extraordinary his precaution. Take no chances. Stop, look and listen at all grade crossings. CLEAR SKIN. THE NEW ICIENT BLEACH
