Liberty Building-Loan Ass'n. Celebrates 4th Anniversary
Monday was a high day in the life of the Liberty Building and Loan Association, this being the 4th Anniversary of its establishment in this city. Replete with a jam up program the organization put over a huge affair at the 8th and Towne Ave. A. M. E. Church, before an audience which completely filled the huge auditorium of that edifice. The program presented consisted of speech and song and each year's work reviewed showed a remarkable progress.
The officers and directors were presented to the people who in turn briefly reviewed the accomplishment of 4 years of organized effort.
Among those presented were: Dr. Albert Baumann; F. A. Harvey; C. Harvey; C. S. Blodgett; J. H. Shackelford; Dr. W. C. Gordon; A. Hartley Jones; L. M. Blodgett, the president, who presided. Mr. Wells, fiscal agent also appeared as one of the units of the company.
Several persons arose and spoke on invitation from the president for questions. Mr. J. Robinson created quite a bit of enthusiasm by a speech which urged the establishment of a bank by the Colored people and his quaint advice for the company to erect a building of its own, so the people could visualize just what the Liberty Building and Loan Association really is.
At the conclusion of the program a buffet banquet was served in the basement and everybody went away happily and voted the Liberty Association as the real article of which they were really proud.
NEELY FOUND
NOT GUILTY
Freed by a jury of his peers in Department No. 8, presided over by Judge Turney on last Tuesday, Walter L. Neely was declared NOT GUILTY and discharged. This is the case in which Mr. Neely avers that he was
Premier Accompanist For Reese DuPree
The above is a most excellent likeness of Miss. Melrose Slaughter, high-class pianist who has been especially engaged to play for the several concerts which Reese DuPree, far-famed baritone of New York City and Asbury Park, New Jersey, has consented to give during his winter sojourn in this section.
Miss Slaughter is an accomplished musician, a graduate of Wiley University and has made good in her profession. She has played with great satisfaction all of Mr. DuPree's radio engagements thus far including his triumph at Angelus Temple. Mr. DuPree will render a special program at San Diego on next Tuesday evening, and at the Civic Auditorium on the following Thursday night.
manhandled and misused by the police. On the other hand the police filed charges against Neely of assault upon an officer. The jury as above noted decided in favor of the defendant.
Mr. Neely declares that the case is far from finished and that he will appear before the Police Commission on Friday to buck up his charges of brutality against the arresting officers.
Assemblyman Roberts Assured Of No Misrepresentation
Assemblyman Roberts Assured Of No Misrepresentation
We note the great scare headlines in the columns of our esteemed contemporary the New Age-Dispach about dishonest methods of our agents putting out a report that the Hon. Fred M. Roberts, its editor, would not be a candidate for the 6th term.
We want to say right here, that we authorized no such statement and have no desire for anybody to misrepresent anything in any way in which we are concerned.
We simply want all the voters to know that we stand for the Republican nomination upon our record as a business man and service rendered at all times for all people.
During the campaign we shall have occasion to state our case and shall be content with the verdict rendered by the people of the 74th Assembly District.

Neighbors Attack Wife Beater
Memphis, Tenn., Mar. 20.—When George Clark returned to his home Wednesday evening from work he was accorded a real warm reception by his neighbors and after the honors had been done, George was a fit subject for the hospital. It all happened bemorning George had severely beaten cause before leaving for work in the his wife and the neighbors fearing that he would attack her again gathered to protect her.
To be sure that he did not resume the attack, the occupants of the house knocked him down when he entered the door, tied him with a rope, cuffed him about a bit, and finally someone added further to his discomfort by cutting him. Police arrived on the scene and added insult to injury by locking George up, and charging him with assault with intent to kill.
L. A. TO HAVE PREMIER APPEARANCE OF MUISCAL COMPANY
One of the happiest men of our acquaintance is John C. Spikes, who quietly passes along the Avenue day by day wearing a smile that won't wear off. Mr. Spikes is happy because he has invested in human lives.
Feeling keenly the responsibility of doing something in the way of developing the neglected musical talent, especially in the young girls in our midst, Mr. Spikes has gathered together eight beautiful brown girls with varied instruments and is presenting them to the public under the caption of "John C. Spikes Eight Harmony Queens."
John C. Spikes is the writer of "Some Day, Sweetheart!" and many other popular songs of national reputation. He is a pianist of first rank, a member of one of California's oldest families and a man of unlimited loyalty to his group. Perhaps of the many accomplishments of Mr. Spikes, the one that pleases him most is his latest organization of the Harmony Queen Orchestra. There are (reading from left to right):
HAZEL WILSON—Banjo, Pu.
pil of Marshall Royal. Miss Wilson is to be highly commended as she is exceptionally reliable and dependable. With the splendid instruction she has received and the hours of study and practice, she has put on her instrument, enables her to play her part very readily and satisfactorily.
GLADYS HURST—is a member of the Famous Hurst Family that traveled for ten years as the "Hurst Creole Comedy Company." Gladys Hurst played琴际 for quite a few years and is a saxophone pupil of John C. Spikes. She has made wonderful progress since she has been studying this instrument. She has an also voice that blends very sweetly in the female quartette.
GERTIE LEE RANCUDO—Clarinet and tenor saxophone, a pupil of John C. Spikes, adds much color and expression with the beautiful tones she produces on her instrument.
ZELLEL ISUM—Has studied violin since she was a school girl and at present is studying with James Warren, one of Los Angles' foremost teachers. She is a saxophone home scholar of John C. Spikes and has kept up the standard of his teaching by her very studious practice.
ANNIE GARRETT—Trumpet melophone, saxophone and piano, is a member of the "Versatile Garrett Family." Los Angeles' most popular younger set of musicians. She is a pupil of John C. Spikes and through her sacrificing and earnest practicing, she is the leading young lady trumpet player or the race in the west. She not only plays the above instrument with ease, but has a dep, rich contralto voice that is captivating.
EMMA GARRETT—Baritone from bone, saxophone, clarinet and piano, is also a member of the "Versatile Garrett Family." She is a pupil of John C. Spikes and too much cannot be said about her accomplishment. She plays each instrument equally as well as the other. She has a sweet soprao voice and has finished elementary harmony and a course in band and choir directoring.
VIRGINIA JOHNSON—Tuba and impersonator of bird whistling, a pupil of John C. Spikes and the only lady double B Flat player of our group the west has seen or produced. Virginia Johnson not only plays the regular bass parts, but plays melody in some of the numbers which adds sweetness and novel effects to the numbers rendered.
INA DUNCAN—Former trap drummer, is a pupils of Ben Borders, Los (Continued on page 6)
In answer to a call from some of the inmates of the Soldiers' Home at Sawtelle, Dr. H. C. Hudson, president of the local N. A. A. C. P. in company with Mrs. Hudson and young son, Mr. Wm. Burnett, one of the Houston, Texas rioters, and a representative of the California Eagle, visited the Home last Tuesday and discussed some of the alleged irregularities in the treatment extended to Black soldiers with J. J. Steadman and Gen. Wood.
It was reported that an inmate and ex-service man of Company 12, died in Ward 6 because he was denied proper medical attention by one Dr. Esslaugher who had been summoned. And it is further alleged that only a certain number of beds in the hospital are set apart for Black soldiers; if these beds happened to be filled and a man falls ill, it is "just too bad" for him.
When we discussed these conditions with the two gentlemen already mentioned, they stated that the segregation existing at Sawtelle was in vogue when they arrived and it was not within their power to change things. Dr. Hudson, in the name of the Association, pointed out that the Negro had been loyal, and after he had given the better part of his life defending his country, that justice should at least be meted out to him in his declining years in the Soldiers' Home.
NEWTON STREET STATION RUMBLINGS
One big catch was chalked up to the credit of Captain Oakley's command, when officers from Newton Street station bugged a quartett of high-powered burglars who specialized in ransacking dental offices.
This gang consisting of Miss Agnes Watkins; Chas, Giron; Miss Isabel Rosas and Harry Warner were arrested at 146 So. Hope St. by officers Henry, Slayer and Baldridge.
They had forced the office of Dr W. T. Watkins, 2426 Central Ave and stolen gold plates, crowns, scrapped gold and various valuable dental supplies to the value of more than $250.00. Other jobs laid at the doors of this quartett are the burglarizing of the offices of Dr. Pillow, 21212 Central Ave.; also 111 E. Broadway, Glendale; 6548 Hollywood Blvd; and another dental office on Sunset Blvd. The quartett are in jail under heavy bond.
Newton Street received report Wednesday 8 P. M. of bicycle accident out Central Ave. way, when Neil Davinson struck Harry Levy, age 55, inflicting minor bruises.
Eight 53 Sergt. James Nolan and squad brought in Mrs. Mary Purnell, 2806 Central Ave., charged with Wright Act possession. From the same address there was booked Santiago Jim and Mrs. Kathie Adams, both charged with vagrancy and lewdness.
Negro Students Honored
Two of the four 'Mechanical Drawings' chosen by Les Beaux Arts Institute as the best of those entered by the University of Southern California were drawn by members of our group —Mr. James Price and Mr. James Davenport, students in the Architectural College. The drawings will be on exhibition at the annual exposition at Boston. By virtue of their achievement, these students rank as the best in their university and among the best in the country.
The two James are both pledges to the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.
Man Fatally Wounded by Unknown Assailant

MINISTER SHOT BY HIS WIFE

(By: A. N. P)
Louisville, Ky., Mar. 21.—The Rev. John Willis, 1431 Levering street, had biscuits for breakfast Thursday baked by his wife, but for some reason they were not up to the usual standard and they engaged in a quarrel. The Rev. Willis grabbed a broom and poised it in a threatening manner when the argument became heated, and his wife secured a pistol and shot him in the leg.
Treasurer of Church Shoots Member
(By: A. N. P.)
Louisville, Ky., Mar. 21.—Otha Barrett, treasurer of the Miles C, M. E. Church, shop and killed William Taylor, a member of the same church, as he left the church accompanied by two sisters. It is alleged that the cause of the trouble was concerning an argument over one of the sisters who had been making a noise during the church services. There has been four murders during the past week in this city.
(By: A. N. P.)
New Orleans, La.; Mar. 20.-Sixteen men engaged as waiters for a hotel at Biloxi, Mississippi, after having deposited one dollar each as a guarantee of good faith are now looking for a white man giving his name as W. A. Allen, who after collecting a dollar for his services directed the prospective waiters to meet him at the L & N Depot. The boys were on time, but not so Allen, whom the police learned had taken a train in an opposite direction.
On The Sidewalk
By: C.A. B.
The world Sunday School Convention is coming to Los Angeles, July 11th to 18th.
The Convention will be limited to 7,000 registrants, of these, one half must be from foreign countries and Dr. Robert W. Hopkins, who is in charge of the Convention, says, "There must be no Angio-Saxon denominations in this Convention.
We call Colored Los Angeles' attention to its part in this great program of Religious Education. Send in the names of your delegates, and by your presence and interest, demonstrate to the world that this is sort of religious program that you advocate and foster—one that knows no color.
When we realize that our fair city of flowers and sunshine will have as its guests, the N. A. A. C. P. and the World Sunday School Convention within the months of June and July, we are inclined to think fast and make reservations for a spiritual, intellectual feast.
California starts off with a moral correction program. After some investigation, the State as found that there is bootlegging, drinking, cigarette smoking and stealing going on among modern students, hence for the first time in the State's history, high school principles, when they assemble in Annual Convention at Long Beach, April 2-5, will discuss these moral problems.
Among the missionaries from all over the world who are meeting in International-Missionary Council on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, is Maj. K. R. Moton or Tuskegee Institute.
We looked in while passing Sunday, on Dr. Jackson's Holiness Church at San Diego. While this church is a new feature in the church life of San Diego, it is a fastly growing one.
It matters not what some may say or think about the Black man's place in the economic, moral and social life of the nation, we hold as an opinion this: That the Black man just now, must fight out his own destiny along social and moral lines. He needs wealth because wealth gains for him recognition in the great financial markets of the world. But in getting wealth, let him get it by means of a carefully laid business foundation with a natural growth backed up by consistent effort in whatever line he is engaged. No race nor nation can hope to succeed if its chief asset is commercialized vice.
You often hear it said that morally the Black man is cleaner than his White predecessor in American civilization, but to be cleaner is not enough. Let the Black people of America present to the world a fairly unblemished moral record, and if this is accomplished, he will no longer be the target, but instead, the envy of those who seek to belittle him now.
When it is understood by statistical records, that the Negro is the clearest moral group in America, he will be sought after socially instead of being ostracized. So we say that the three cardinal principles upon which the American Black should build his future should be: sound, safe economic training, moral stamina, and social cleanliness.

(BY. A. N. P. Richmond. Va., Mar. 21.-Police here are looking for the woman assailant of Miss Mary Lewis, who was perhaps fatally stabbed in a street brawl here Monday night. According to police, the fight occurred in front of 1219 St. John street, when the two women met and resumed a quarrel which began several days ago.
PULLMAN PORTERS PLAN STRIKE VOTE
On the heels of the refusal of the Interstate Commerce Commission's attitude to investigate the Pullman Company as demand by the porters, the local division of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters are preparing to take a strike vote as soon as the ballots are received from the International office.
ALONG THE LINE
Jimmie Wilson express helper of Miami, Florida, was recently killed when passenger train No. 37, the Florida East Coast, derailed on the outskirts of Titusville, Florida.
"Crime Crushers," this name has been offered by a waiter on one of our transcontinental trains as an appropriate one for Inspectors of Dining Car service.
RANDOLPH TO VISIT CITY
A. Phillip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, is expected to arrive in the city in the near future. Matters of vast importance connected with the Brotherhood call Mr. Randolph here.
ITS BRIGHT SIDE
Geo. S. Schuyler, managing editor of the Messenger, the official organ of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porpoise, is a visitor in the city. With him he brings news of a very encouraging nature that will perhaps be interesting to the local division of the Brotherhood.
UNION PACIFIC PLANS INAUGURATION OF NEW SERVICE
The Union Pacific is making extensive preparations to take care of the summer tourist business and back east excursions, fares will prevail as heretofore, one of the features will be an early morning train through to Chicago, leaving Los Angeles at 9:00 A.M., Tuesday, May 22nd, with a St. Louis and Omaha connection, this train will afford a morning connection out of Chicago and St. Louis. The train will carry chair cars, standard and tourist sleepers, dining and observation cars from Los Angeles through to Chicago.
PROMISE YOURSELF
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every one you meet.
To make friends feels that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best—to work only for the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times, and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself, that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself, and to proclaim this fact to the world not in loud words, but in great deeds.
AT LEAST WE COULD
The Superintendent of a local Dining Car Commissary in a recent verbal bulletin requests waiters to refrain from wearing wrist watches and diamond rings while serving patrons on this road. It is true that a waiter is a salesman and that salesmanship is the alarm clock of modern life but why flash your tiffany in the face of one from whom you expect some compensation in return for services rendered.
SAFE LANDING?
Nicholas C. Joiner, who has been evading that clever little fellow "Dan Cupid" sustained minor injuries last Wednesday while alighting from a street car in Chicago, at that N. C. was able to perform his duties en route to Los Angeles.

Arthur F. Nunn (Chel-Water) on the "All Day Lunch" car on the "Day Light Limited" is responsible for the "H" in hustler. Arthur says that he would not hustle so hard and work the hardship he does, on the diners but that Lil Arthur must have that Easter gift.
Burt Johnson (Hog-head) is still doing rail duty.
LITTLE EXCURSIONS WEEK BY WEEK
BY: ALICE DUNBAR-NELSON
(For the Associated Negro Press)
The question asked this week by Collier's Weekly, "Who are Americans?" brings up some unpleasant memories of a peculiar situation. On the average application blank, when a Negro is asked "nationality?" if he puts "American" for an answer, the interrogator usually looks hurt and says gently that he should have put "Negro" Some musing and some heart-breaking incidents have grown from this.
Elissa Lieberman, whose poem, "I am American," is used in the Lewis and Roland Eighth Year Silent Reader, finds material in the melting pot, for his american, and in the Puritan stock of the Mayflower. He ignores the Indian and forgets the Negro. So children plastic minds are impressed that the only Americans are the whites, or native stock, or the European emigrants.
How would it do to add a verse to the poem that the Negro child might recite?
I Am An American!
My forefathers were brought to this country three hundred years ago; They hewed the forests, tilled the fields made the roads; They built the new country and helped it grow.
Then they took weapons and defended her against her enemies;
Yea, against Indians and French and English.
And helped make it a vast Republic whose flag sweeps the seas. When Civil War threatened to rive it apart.
They fought to keep it one free nation; And shed their blood on Flanders Fields for an ideal of Democracy. My fathers and mothers toiled to make an economic foundation for me. Every drop of my blood holds a heritage of patriotism.
I am proud of my past. I hold faith in my future.
I am a Negro. I am an American.
Curtis Mosby Has A Musical Smile
"Smile and the world smiles with you Kick and you kick alone."
For a cheerful grin will let you in Where the bicker is never known." This must be the life motto of Curtis Mosby the "Prince of Jazz" for he is the one and only "Joy Boy". Whether having a fit with his drums and traps at the head of his Blue Blowers as he plays the Lincoln stage presentations in his store or on the street his face is always lit up with an honest to goodness cheerful grin. Meet him with a groch and the first thing you know you're grinning with him.
That is one of the reasons he can play so he is just music all through, and gets a big kick out of his playing. Audiences are delighted with the new presentation and the splendid vaudeville acts on the bills. Business at the music store is on the increase and the addition of a local headquarters for the Yellow Cab Company is a great innovation.
Smile on! "Prince of Jazz," smile on!

STAGE AND SCREEN LINCOLN THEATER
Mosby's Blue Blowera as Box Office Attraction
The Lincoln Theatre last week seemed to be laboring under considerable difficulty in getting over a very good showing, evidently this difficulty will be experienced every week for some time. The Doc Straine Co., which has just completed their contract here, with its jam up cast, fast stepping chorus and possessed of a Million Dollar box office star in "Bilo," will be displaced in the affection of the Lincoln fans, with considerable difficulty.
However, nothing beats a trial but a failure. As I afore stated, the show was good. Mosby's Blue Blowers tried valently to step into the breach; they played jam up and took their encores gracefully. Bob Rboulson, demon bansiol, strutted his stuff.
The Varieties Bill consisted in an aggregation of talent that is hard to beat. Rogers scored heavily in his ventriloquist act; Bert Chadwick played his usual popular role, in singing, "He's in the Jail House. Now." The dazzling company in Spanish costumes certainly possessed keen talent; the girl singing "Ida" made a big hit. The girls doing the Collegiate skirt, almost took the house, the two people assisting in the Dumb Irishman trick were immense; the roller skaters were the best seen yet in their acrobatic stunt. The acts each took considerable encores, but there seems yet lacking a sufficient box office attraction in this kind of bill to support the house. The picture the "Four Flusher" was very good.

Mr. Patterson has been a resident of this section a number of years and was held in high esteem by all who knew him.

A widow, two children, and a large number of relatives and friends are left to mourn their loss.

Beauty And You
BY: SADIE DAVIDSON
POLISH FOR THE NAILS
Even one's nails are less highly colored than a few seasons ago. A heavy liquid polish should be thin and not too dark in tone. A polish that is the result of a pink cream followed by shining powder applied with the polishing pad is well liked by the femme du monde, because it suggests time and trouble and care again.
Pale pink for daytime with a slightly deeper rose for evening has replaced the vermilion of yesterday. For those of you that can wear the deeper rose. It is better to perfume the skin and the lingerie than the gown. This method is fresher and more solgine. The smartest women carry their own powder in the little jewelled boxes made for the purpose that are adjuncts to every vanity bag. This is better for the skin than the hard compact powder, which cannot produce the same effect. One must be careful to see that no superfluous power is left on nostrils are eyelashes when one applies it outside the dressing room.
COMPOSER GIVES RECITAL
Mr. Eugene Edgar Page, composer and eminent music teacher of the city presented his pupils in piano recital at Trinity Baptist Church last week. The rectal was very unique and all the pupils displayed ability in the rendition of their numbers. Mr. Page is the composer of that popular number, "Thinking." Ladies Minstrel, Philharmonic Auditorium, May 21st and 22nd. Bigger and better than ever.

POLITICAL POT PIE Great Crowd to Hear
Dear Bro. John Fowler, attache of the Urban League (non political local organizations) seems bent on making this said organization a political clearing house, since his return from Mt. Elba and the Pie Maker will assist him from now on in his ambition. Shake 'em up. Brother Fowler, reminiscences and all for be it known we are raring to go.
All the platitudes and hog-wash of sentimental vicissitudes of the past will not suffer Brother Fowler, for the present. The old and familiar saying goes like this: "It's not what you use to be, but it's what you are today."
Dear Brother Fowler is bent on crowding the issue. Naturally so far he has been out or the game chasing shadows. So long that on his return he is gnawing at the bit and ready to go, not unlike the proverbial Missouri mule.
Capt. C. H. Austin says, too early boys, don't crowd me.
Sidney P. Dones has set the pace so far there is name to follow his lead in launching their campaign.
The Colored Democratic Club seems very busy with enrollments for new members and P. A. Jones, general organizer reports real progress. The old veteran Titus Alexander is all smiles as he has been divorced from lonesomeness.
Bertram Guess presided at the recent meeting of the Colored Democrats. It was at this meeting that Errol Jones declared that the Republicans could heat the world spoofing the colored voters.
Great Crowd to Hear Reese DuPree at San Bernardino
San Bernardino music lovers are anticipating a real treat in the presentation of Mr. Reese DuPree at the Pacific Aultorium on March 29th, under the auspices of St. Paul A. M. E. Church.
Mr. DuPree owes his remarkable success to the fact that without any additions or detractions, he sings the natural Negro music through the vehicle of spirituals and folk songs. Born in Georgia himself and taught by his grandmother who lived in the old South before the war days, he grew up imbued with the soul of true Negro melody with all its baunting harmony, pathos, and inherent history of his people.
Of this the N. Y. Sun says:—"The New York music lovers always are touched by Mr. DuPree's music as it is rendered with the naturalness with which the originators crowned them in cabins or in cotton fields and rice swamps".
The New York World says it is worth double the price of admission to hear Reese DuPree sing "Heaven, Heaven" "Out run the Sun" or anyone of his spiritual numbers. In the local concert which advance sales predict, will be attended by a large audience, Mr. DuPree will render some on the most famous and beautiful spirituals of the large number in his repertory. Among the mare: "Steal Away", "Heaven, Heaven". "I Want to be Ready", "Were You

One of the outstanding events of February was the birthday dinner of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Thurman, Saturday February 4th, at their beautiful home, 202 N. Westlake avenue, where one hundred guests were served turkey dinner with all its trimmings.
The birthday color for January and February, purple and dark red, were the color scheme.
The variety of flowers which added to the attraction of the beautiful decorations came as a gift from Mrs. Geo. Sneed who so artistically arranged them in such unique style that they were pleasing to any eye and you have nothing to regret if you failed to witness the Rose Tournament at Pasadena, and attended this grand affair.
The table was beautiful with a large center piece of sweet peas and rose marie candle holders combined with black and hand painted in dalisies with candies harmonizing with the color scheme. The delicate and dainty emeet peas in pink and orchid and with the profusion of blossoms in the home, it was hard to realize we are in the midst of winter instead of spring.
As you entered the door you were greeted in a most cordial way by Mrs. Willie Bell Holloway, wearing a lovely red silk georgette dress. While Mrs. Sneed was fashioned in shimmering black satin combined with pale pink silk crepe.
Near the center of the room stood Miss Evelyn Thurman dressed in white with that wonderful personality and smile so lasting, directed each guest to their place at the table.
The waitresses so prettily uniformed in white were: Misses Rosetta Booker, Elsie Hunt, Mamie Lee Pickens, Evelyn Thurman, Mrs. Mable Pruden. Those who helped with the platers were: Mrs. M. Thurman, Mrs. E. Kitt, Mrs. Callie Achole and Mrs. B. E. Robinson.
E. Kitt and Mrs. Callie Achole.

A collection of useful and lovely gifts were presented to the host and hostess.

After spending a delightful evening all departed especially pleased to be numbered among their many friends.

The Euzellan Bible Class of the Friendship Baptist Church was entertained last Monday night at the residence of Mrs. J. Cavinness, 1569 E. 21st St. by W. Malt Solomon, their instructor. The class left Pasadena in a body arriving at their destination about 8 o'clock immediately going into a business session which lasted more than an hour. A very interesting program was rendered before which Mr. S. P. Johnson, Superintendent of the Second Baptist Sunday School brought greetings from that Body. The class was also graced with the presence of Rev. Hubbard, Moderator of the Northern Baptist Association, President of the California State Convention and Pastor of the Both Eden Church of Oakland, Calif., who graced an length of the possibilities of organized manpower in the church which was much enjoyed by those who listened attentively. After the program a luncheon was served during which time music was rendered by the class quartet under the direction of Capt. Wm. Reynolds, Friendship infinitive choir leader. This was the regular meeting of the class at which there is always a good attendance; at this meeting there was 33 present. The next meeting will be held at the home of Roy Turner on Nighth Orange Avenue.

E. G. Framis, of West Hammond street was the victim of a vicious knife attack in the hands of Virgil Williams last Thursday night in front of his place or business on Dayton street; his story follows:
"When dances are conducted in the hall (above my business) when the musicians play home sweet home, I always go to the door to invite them to get a lunch before departing to their homes, whereupon I was accosted by Williams who owed me some money and whom I had asked for it on a former occasion. He asked me to accompany him up the street to a vacant lot adjoining the building to talk the matter over, which I did. He had previously made the same overtures at a time before but I had refused him. But now, believing him to be in good faith, we walked up the street, at the same time Williams had both hands in his coat pockets; yet I suspected nothing. On reaching the lot I turned my head for a moment to see if anyone was behiring me and he at once cut me across the cheek, barely missing my left eye and another stab near the heart which apparently severed a leader in my chest. I attempted to follow him but for the loss of blood was compelled to retreat to the restaurant where I was later removed to the emergency hospital. I am now being attended by Dr. Riley and hope to be out soon having had a narrow escape.
The ladies of the Scott Chapel A. M. E. Church are holding a special service Sunday when Rev. S. M. Beane of Los Angeles and his choir will have charge of the service. The devotionals will be led by Mrs. Phelps, assisted by the N. I. B. C. girls.

The fraternal spotlight was focused upon the Odd Fellows Hall on Compton avenue last Friday night when the household of Rhose No. 543 celebrated their 10th anniversary. The hall was beautifully decorated with ferns and spring flowers which gave an inviting environment, to the time spent in playing games, perhaps the chief charm of the evening were the games of childhood days that caused many to awaken from their Rip Van Winkle and get approximately as much fun out of the games as they did yester year. A huge birthday cake bearing ten giant candles, with the colors of the lodge—white, purple and green—were the center of attraction. A unique invitation designed from an old fashioned sock was given aue amount of consideration-by being used as a receptacle for admission fees. This lodge is enjoying a splendid membership and plans many social affairs for the near future.

The Republican party, with a majority in Congress, has consistently let the Democratic majority have its own way about things at the National Capitol, and we are therefore fearful of any situation which comes up from time to time if sponsored by a democrat.
In this situation the Zihlman bill fostered by Frederick M. Zihlman, (dem. of Maryland), is of no small concern to us. This gentleman has introduced a bill in the lower house which will practically abolish the office of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia.
As the case now stands, this position held by Arthur G.

Will the republicans stand for it?

We are forced to the conclusion that Governor C. C. Young has forgotten all about the 90 per cent colored vote he received, and that said vote brought about his nomination. We are justified in this conclusion from the fact that up to this minute he has absolutely failed to give to this class of his constituency the slightest recognition by way of appointment to any position in the State government.

We are therefore, much impressed with the manner in which his son, Henry Allen Boyd is carrying on the great work established by his sire, for truly the mantel of the great organizer, builder and foremost citizen could not have fallen upon more worthy shoulders than those of his distinguished son.

The task facing those who attempt to gauge the progress of business just now is no easy one, judging from reports of the Federal Reserve Board.
February trade statistics show a spread of over 11 per cent in department store sales in different sections of the country, ranging from declines of more than 5 per cent to increases of over 6 per cent.
These statistics do not reveal the variation as between stores in the same locality, but it is safe to assume that the spread there is even wider. That is, while there is little variation between communities, states and sections, there are in each community some enterprizes that had increased sales in February and others that show great losses in comparison with the corresponding month in former years.
Of the 491 department stores reporting to the Federal Reserve Board on February sales 263 enjoyed increases and 223 suffered declines. And the average gain for the country as a whole was 2.2 per cent. These figures do not cover the chain store systems which are having a phenomenal growth in business volume this year.
In some sections stores can definitely trace their drop in sales to unemployment, strikes or unfavourable farm conditions, but the fact that some business men are not daunted by talk of "hard times". Modern merchandizing methods and newspaper advertising were evolved to help the merchant and manufacturer get business where less progressive ones say it cannot be found.

FORGOTTEN
P
If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened
BY: W, J: WHEATON
Herbert Hoover is getting the peeve, he is tired or being made the target of invective. Upon counsel of his campaign managers he has refrained from striking back, but it is believed that he will enter Ohio and make several speeches in his effort to wrest the Ohio delegation from Senator Frank Wilis. New Hampshire instructed for Hoover and Smith. The three cornered fight between Walsh, Mont.; Reed, Mo.; and Smith, N. Y., promises a lively tilt in California's Democracy. Some Shindy. The only energy exergy expended by the Republicans of the "Bear State," are in trying to pile up a big vote for the Hoover ticket. Brother, Colored Voter! you have been ignored by both major parties. Not even an alternate!
Down in Georgia, Ben Davis succeeded in holding a Convention and it is alleged that he had the "Steam Roller" in splendid shape. It flattened out the National Committee woman, Mrs. Williams, so flat that there was no semblance of her former self. Even refused to seat her delegation. Too bad! She was so loyal to Ben when he was trying to "fit into the shoes" of late "Link" Johnson. But then, of course, we understand. Ben has to take orders, like any other automan. Even to endorseing a Democrat for a Federal judgeship. Ben is the caboro尔 of the walk - where "Link" used to strut his stuff, but then, in the vernacular, Henry Lincoln, "knew his onions."
Benjamin Davis is not the only one who through democratic sufferance will go to Kansas City, Mo., to vote for the nomination of some one whom they don't have a ghostly show of giving an electoral vote, Fine thing; is it not? And the rumor is that in event of the nomination of Hoover, Secretary of the Interior, Work, "champion of Departmental Segregation," will be made Chairman of the National Committee and the Howard, Cohen, Davis, et cetera, will boost the Hon. J. Finley Wilson to head the "Jim Crow" section.
The breaking of the St. Francis Dam which flooded the Santa Paula Valley, caused mourning in many families. It was the most disastrous happening since the big fire which, some years ago, played havoc in San Francisco. That same indomitable California spirit of "never die" is being shown in this late catastrophe. The murky waters had barely reached the sea before the work of rehabilitation began. While men searched the silt for any bodies that might remain, caught by the wreckage and debris, others were busily replanning the citrus, groves which were the wealth or the valley. The work of reiller was quickly organized, and with a thoroughness that is commendable. Thereby averting much suffering and forestalling air epidemic of disease. The Governor, C. C. Young, was on hand to aid and give State assistance if needed.
The 2nd day in April is the birth date of one of our greatest Americans—the late Doctor Booker T. Washington. Practical Educator, enobler of honest work, founder of the greatest institution in the world for its output of useful citizens—Tuskegee, and originator and exemplar of the world's acknowledged system of useful training to co-ordinate the best in mind, hand and heart. It is one of the penalties of greatness—Laudation after passing; Dr. Washington "came unto his own and his own received him not." He was the target of more vilification from the "white collar" Negro, who looked with disdain on the Artizan, than any man who ever essayed to get a people into the right road. He plodded on; falling, getting up, and struggling onward. Today, the great of the earth pay him homage and in the near future the names of four great Americans will be recorded in pages of American History—George Washington, who founded a nation; Abraham Lincoln, the Liberator of Slaves; Theodore Roosevelt, who championed the "open door of opportunity for all"; and Booker T. Washington, who led a struggling people from the "slough of despondency and pointed the way to economic success.
The State of California has two young African Americans of whom she should be justly proud. You hear little of Paul Williams, and Sarient Johnson. Modest young men. Yet, Paul Williams is one of the outstanding architects of the country, and Sarient Johnson, winner of the Harmon prize, has promise of making a great name as a sculptor, and his canvases have received the favorable criticism of Judges of Art. Great things are predicted for both.
If in doubt as to the political history of any California State official, past four decades, or near present, their attitude on questions affecting the status of the Aframerican citizens or the State in general, consult the venerable R. A. Johnson of Sacramento. In his long tenure of an active public life he has come in personal contact with them. Governors, come in personal contact with them. Governors, Senators—State and National—and the Congressmen of the several districts. He is a veritable, encyclopedia of the political lore of the State.
Take off your hat to U. S. Senator, Hiram Johnson and bow to Congressman Swing. Pluck, determination, backed by political sagacity has enabled them to count the days when, at Boulder Canyon, will be erected the mammoth dam that shall ensure safety to the residents of the Imperial Valley and make useful the water of the Colorado River for irrigation and power.
The annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which will meet in the city or Los Angeles in June, will bring together some of the most astute and erudite minds of the races—white and black. The Association is one of the militant factors for equal rights for all people. It has had as its president and general counsellor the venerable Moorfield Storey, a lawyer of international fame, ex-president and Chief Justice Howard. Taft is numbered among the active members; Villard Garrison, Springn, Jane Adams, Mary Owington White and numbers of other prominent white men and women are enrolled. Such famed Negroes as Dr. DuBois, Dean William Pickens, James Weldon Johnson, Robert Bagann, are among its guiding heads. The struggle is to tear down the barrier of color discrimination and give to every individual, be the white or black, an equal opportunity in the race of life.
A few more days and our colleges and high schools will be delivering diplomas of graduation to hundreds of young race men and women who have met their requirements. They will be turned out—graduated into the University of Life—As they, in truth prepared? Education without an earning power is useless, it is a handicap to the boy who will allow his ability to read Greek and Latin lok with disdain on honest toil. In fact to toll rather than starve or stoop to crime. Education is a menace to the girl who values it more than her good name. But the boy and girl who realizes that in their education they have an undeniable asset which will enable them eventually to overcome all obstacles; the joists and jars of early experience won't seem so hard. Booker T. Washington dignified labor; placed it on a pinnacle which has been recognized the world over. Don't be afraid to work until you can make the goal for which you strive.
Rep. Tinkham, Mass., accused the South of disfranchisement of Negroes, and asserted that William G. McAdoo was in sympathy with the nullification of the 14th, 15th and 19th Amendments to the Constitution. So is Borah of Idaho. By the way, why doesn't the Prohibition Party draft those two? Makes no difference which one is on the tall end.
Is conversion to church membership on the wane? In a survey recently taken, last year, one third of the evangelistic churches, over 11,000 failed to annex one convert.
The regular semi-monthly meeting of the Citizens Council will be held Tuesday evening, March 27th at the Macedonia Baptist Church in South Los Angles (Watts) at which time all members and those interested in the progress along all lines or effort for the people are requested to come out. Matters of vital import are to be presented and it is to the interest of all who can possibly do so to attend this meeting.
Preparedness Wins In Nation's Or Health's Battles
SO SAY DOCTORS BANKS AND BAILEY
"Keep those good teeth perfectly clean, and they will not decay as this one I pulled", cautioned Dr. T. R. Banks to a patient. "And by the way he cautioned "I will get Dr. Bailey to write, you but a diet plan to follow that will prevent the stomach disorders with resultant acidity that is

Greatly surprised and interested at the magnanimous policy of these medical men in teaching prevention, rather than waiting t caadminister the cure, the writer strolled around in their neat, well appointed and thoroughly equipped offices, looking at the objects of interest and asking question after question. All these questions Dr. Banks, the dentist, and Dr. W. E. Bailey, the physician, gladly and pleasantly answered.
These two young men have opened a joint suite of offices in the American Legion Building, 1824 Central Avenue, a roomy, comfortable reception

room is situated between the two shrines of health. Dr. Bailey's office is equipped with all the latest appliances known to science and the preparedness he preaches shows in the facilities he has to combat disease, especially that of the blood in which he has especial success.
Dr. Banks has the very latest model of a sterilization cabinet fount, work romo, machinery and what is an innovation, the cutest little dressing table model for fair patients that ever delighted the heart of a lodge, delighted the heart of a lady.
Dr. Banks is a graduate of U. S. C. dental college which is well known for its thoroughness and stringency of examinations. He has successfully been associated with Dr. Pruitt for the past year. He is also a member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity. A phone call over AXridge 9387 will reach his residence.
Dr. Bailey is a graduate of Gibbons High School, Paris, Texas, of which large institution his father, W. E. Bailey, Sr., was principal of for a number of years. He a qualified a B. A. degree from Wiley University. He graduated from the State University of Iowa, served internship at the city hospital, St. Louis, Mo., 1925-26. After passing examination with a high average he was licensed to practice in California in March, 1927. He formerly maintained an office at Ascot and Vernon enjoying an excellent clientele.
He is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. Dr. Bailey may be reached at his residence over ATlantic 5367. Either of them may be reached at the office from 9 A. M. to 7 P. M. over Westmore 8618.
An Old Resident of the Crown City Laid To Rest
One of the largest funeral services ever held is Pasadena was that of Mr. William C. Hicks, held at the A. M. E. Church of which he was a member, Wednesday, March 14, 1928 at 2 P. M.
Mr. Hicks was the beloved husband of Mrs. Corine B. Hicks, past president of the California State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, a religious civic and club worker for many, many years.
People from far and near came to pay tribute of respect and to witness the last solemn rite of one whom they appreciated as a worthy friend and citizen. The service was orderly conducted by Rev. J. M. Brown, the pastor.
The numerous telegrams, resolutions expressing condolence, coming from all parts of the Country expressed the highest esteem held for Mr. and Mrs. Hicks, every expression had a deep tendency to bring comfort to the faithful bereaved widow. More than 125 messages of condolence were received. The service though sad was quite interesting. The Choir of the Friendship Baptist and the Choir of the A. M. E. Church furnished splendid appropriate music. At one time Mrs. Hicks was their successful leader, serving one church and then the other.
HOLDS ORATORICAL CONTEST
At the preliminary contest of the Fifth National Oratorical Contest on the Constitution, held at Bluefield Institute, (Virginia) Thursday night, March 8th, Miss Levanna Watkins, of the junior class, won first place. subject was: "The Development of the Constitution." She was awarded the first prize or $25.00 in gold, donated by the publisher of the Bluefield Telegraph. The second prize of $10 in gold, contributed by the members of the faculty of the school, was won by Miss Ophelia Tabb, of the Senior class. The judges included a member of the Board of Governors of the University of West Virginia and the president of Bluefield College (white).
The contest was directed by LeRoy S. Hart, head of the Department of Education of Bluefield Institute. This is the first colored school in the state to enter the National Contest on the Constitution.

MUSHY CALLAHAN MEETS DICK HOPPE, OLYMPIC, TUESDAY, MARCH 27
"A fighter who fights" is the moniker that embellishes the Coat of Arms or Los Angeles' own home-grown Junior welterweight champion. For this reason as well as home association Mushy Cailahan is perhaps the most popular genuine California boxer in local rings. For this reason one and all are glad that he won and holds the Junior Welterweight Championship.
Next Tuesday night at the Olympic Auditorium, his prowess will be tested by one of his most formidable and dangerous opponents, Dock Hoppe.
Hoppe has been showing great guns in his local starts and his recent bouts have been a string of wins. He won a shade over Mushy at Hollywood in their last meeting a few months ago and means to make it decisive this time.
But the fighting Jewish boy was sick at the time and two weeks later dropped a decision to Jackie Fields for the same reason. Since then he has been building up his health by weeks spent at ranches and hot springs until he is now his old self—round as a dollar, faster and with a heavier wallop.
Deciding that Huerta Evans is not yet ready to tackle Bud Taylor, Matchmaker "Wad" Wadhams of the Olympic auditorium has matched the local youngster, with Trip Limbaco. The two bantams will box the six-round semi-windup to the Dick Hoppe-Mushy Callahan bout.
With Callahan and Hoppe boxing in the top spot backed up by Limbaco and Evans, the card is one of the most attractive Matchmaker Wadhams has lined up in weeks. He has a great lead up of preliminaries.

MR. A. A. ADAMS.
Dear Sir: I am 194 years of age, but for 35 years have suffered from constipation billiousness etc. I had to use anemas all the time to relieve my condition. One day I overheard two ladies praising Bandits as a relief for constipation. I asked at a drug store for these Bandits, but they did not have them, so I accepted a substitute, which gave temporary relief. But on hearing strangers praise the other preparation, I desired still more to try them and succeeded in getting them at another store. Since using them though only taking them twice a week I am not troubled with constipation any more and feel like I was only forty, which is great after taking everything. With more praise for your great medicine, I am.

Although they had only practiced a short while, these girls proved that it could be done and they did it. They played a game that would make any club proud to call them its team. The Japanese girls were up in their form, but they couldn't get out of the way of Myrtle Harvey, Mabel Jones and Albertine Oliver, forwards and running center respectively. These three girls were the outstanding features of the game. The G.

After laying back and taking it easy
for a week or so Ed. Gardner, marathon
runner took a fesh hold on the
ace and finished in a tie for first place
Sunday morning. Ed. is still up among
the leaders in C. C. Pyle's foot derby
and from all indications the black boy
will be among the first to cross the
line in the Big Town.
Young Jack Thompson K. O'ed, Jack

a close brawl.
Bruce Flowers, that sensational lightweight of New York added another scalp to his belt when he took Billy Petrol. Flowers has fought the best of them and is going like a champ now.
It won't be long now, before we will be hearing that Coast League battle cry "Play Ball."
The writer was wondering whether it is the weather or just the scarcity of news that has made our column fall off in the last couple of weeks? The weather is the easiest thing to blame it to so we will lay it on the old weather man. Soon as we get over this early attack of spring fever we will write like it was nobody's business.

"Fed" Plans to Organize Three
New Clubs
Following up the statement made in last week's issue regarding the "Fed's" proposed plans for the formation of three new, subordinate clubs, the complete details follow.
A committee composed of Julianafts Harris, Josephine Brown, "wee" Phil Davis and the writer, was chosen to do this organization work at the regular monthly meeting. Wednesday, March 7th. A club in San Diego is one of the clubs to be formed and for that purpose, the above committee, will make a trip to that region in a few days, probably after Easter. A second, new club, is to be formed in Santa Monica. It is likely that Joe Broyles, one of our illustrious oldtimers whom we are glad to welcome back into our fraternity, the axe having been buried, and he being in good standing again, will be instrumental in greasing the gears so that this new club might shoot into high right away "Pronto", and gain the uttermost maximum of success. In other words, Broyles, being a resident of the Bay City and very well-known, will be a great asset and help to the "Fed" in its work there. However, the third club is the one that mostly concerns us locally. It is to be formed from the excellent material that is to be found on Ross Snyder Playground Tennis Courts, 38th and Ascot. The "Fed" plans to sponsor an open tournament on or about the 30th of May. Memorial Day. This tournament is to be staged at Ross Snyder is for the express purpose of gathering all the tennis players together who use the Ross Snyder courts, and who really play or want to learn to play tennis, young or old. Obviously then, those participating in the above mentioned tournament will comprise the membership of the club. Those really, absolutely, positively, interested in Tennis and who want to become members of this new club, give your names to the above mentioned committee as a participant in the above mentioned tournament.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened
Sunny Jim Williams
Takes Place of
Tiger Flowers
Uneasy lies the head that wears the "crown" especially if it is a stolen crown. So although the Deacon is forever off the trail of Mickey (Yanger) Walker, there is still a dark shadow following him around the easy pastures picked for him by scented Fox Kearns.
Immediately after the death of Tiger Flowers from a two year tour of Australia that other sensational colored middleweight "Sunny Jim" Williams, was brought up the chase, where the "Tiger" had left of, in a campaign to regain the middleweight title which Mickey Walker so unjustly claims.
"Sunny Jim" has not lost a match in three years and returned from Australia with knockout wins over their middle-light-heavy and heavyweight champions namely, Harry Collins, Tommy Uen, George Thompson. He also defeated Len Johnson, British Empire middleweight champion, in twenty round matches.
Upon his return to this country Williams was plitted against that tough, rugged Len Bogash, at catchweight. Bogash weighed 175 pounds, the match was staged at Madison Square Garden and Williams gave Bogash an artistic lasting for ten rounds, being awarded a draw verdict for his trouble.
"Sunny Jim" is a splendid character, much on the order of his late stable-mate, respectful, modest and docile, still, he is a great showman, and aggressive, dynamic fighter, giving plenty of action from the tap of the gong. He was the biggest attraction the Australian promoters ever imported there, his contract for five matches was extended to thirty-five and he has a standing offer to return at any time.
Such fighters as Maxie Rosenbloom, George Courtney, Ren DeVos, K. O. Phil Kaplah, Jack McVey, Dave Shade, Joe Anderson, all gave him the runaround and will not listen to a promoter when he names Williams. Try to get one of the above mentioned at the middleweight poundage, if you fail as you will, then get and light heavyweight in the game and Williams will spot them the extra weight.
Williams should not be kept in active because he's colored, and can and will fight. Californians crave to see Jim in action here against the so-called champ.

Out of the high mountain country now with its rarefied air so hard on an athlete Pyle's runners, now some 90 in number are rapidly reaching the level prairie sections where the going will be good and elimination not so fast. Ed. Gardner, selected, and his entry made possible by the Scaring Eagle, forever sharp-eyed for opportunities for the
Ed. Gardner, selected, and Scaring Eagle, forever sharp-Colored striver is still at the front. Reports from the camp state that Ed. always get in fresh and at the evening's rest shows a wonderful morale, the upkeep of which has been of much concern to Pyle with the other runners. Many of them are breaking under the strain, bit Ed. writes tales of the trip and recites monologues at the entertainments.
HIS PURSE TO BE CUT
His glory will be great but it has been rumored that he will not get much in cash, even if he comes in first as those who are backing him will get 50% and an automatic contract with Pyle will reduce his income more for two years.
The $1000 Diamond ring offered by the Main Loan and Jewelry Co. will possibly be given in cash if Ed. wishes it and he most likely will.
Mr. A. A. Adams, whose "Adams Bandits" have helped to keep the great Seattle athlete in shape will add a nice cash stipend as well as a salary at good figures with his organization.
Ed. is running not only for glory but for the sake of money for his wife and two babies waiting the return of husband and father at Seattle.

TOMMY MILES TRIUMPHS!
Tommy Miles, former Roosevelt Hi sprinter of note, and more recently a student at Sacramento Junior College, and erstwhile U.S.C., L. A. stude, noses out the best bet at the Branch. Tommy's comeback can be described as sensational. In last Saturday's Inter-Class meet, he took two first places; in the Century and Furlong respectively. Tommy's a greatly improved runner, and will bear watching.
POLICE END KAPAPS 'HELL WEEK"
Just before the battle mother!—that is, just before the banquet, which was to be the last act in making Kappa pledges, Kappa men; those little playful exercises indulged in by the initiators, ended abruptly, in endeavoring to hammer home the fact of true brotherhood, some of the brothers became so eager, that the neighbors called the Police. When the Police arrived at the scene of supposed murder, they found only about a dozen disheveled and bruised young men, who tried to explain that it was just a little initiation—part of "Hell Week." They answered, "that's hell, but you'll have to take a ride;"—and they did, Tee, Hee!

Club Urges Members te
Make 1928 Safety Year
‘The appalling automobile death list
ta 1987, noe only ia Sam Prancisco and
Ansdes throughout the
State, fe made the basis of an appeal
by the National Atitomobile Club to
its 50,000 members to make 1923 3
“safety first” year. The bulletin de-
SStimate the sutomsbfle tataliins tai
estimate the fatalities this
year in the U. 8. will be xpproximate:
ly 26,000 with more than 650,000 in.
Jured.
| ‘The bulletin further urges that the
members be the first in the State to
inculcate safe driving babits in the
‘nearly 2,000,000 motorists who use the
‘Streets and bighways in this State. “It
'is pointed out that the club members
have the opportunity of doing a great
work for humanity and for Calitornia
‘it they will use their utmost endeav-
‘oFs to prevent fatalities in the coming
year.
"Among other things the membership
is urged to make it a first rule of driv-
ing comduet to opey all the trafic rules
in the cities and on the highways. It
is declared that by thus obeying the
regulations laid down they will be go-
ing a long way toward preventing acct-
‘dents that frequently prove fatal.
Ir is also urged on the members that
they use their very best efforts to aid
the police departments throughout the
State to eliminate the “hitrun” driv-
ers who, according to the best obtain-
able statistics, are the cause of a large
percentage of the deaths in this State.
One of the things the members are
also asked to do is t0 have their cars
inspected to see that they are im per-
feet condition, and especially that
their brakes are as efficient as pos-
sible. One of the main causes of ac-
cidents is the inefficieney of brakes, it
is pointed out.
Brake testing machines are now
avaflable, the bulletin declares, which
tell at a gignce when four-wheel
brakes are operating at maximum ef-
ficiency. The cost af inspection and
adjastmenr is small amd the-operation
requires bat little time.; One can have
the entire proceeding) done on the way
to the office on any morning.
The bujletin makes it plain that
many of the automobile accidents that
