Wood, is one among the unheralded women who has really made history for her race. Born of parents who were slaves and unable to be stow upon her all that the modern child receives today to make her education complete, she strove to make her own way in the art that great nature had so richly endowed her with—MUSIC. She fought her way by constant application to the art, until she was recognized in her home as the peer of organists and pianists in that vicinity. Later she broadened her scope to take in surrounding territory as teacher. Her success was phenomenal. She was soon known throughout the state of Missouri as a teacher of high attainments. Among her instructors were a Miss Brown and Miss Ebert, graduates of the Boston Conservatory of Music and her last instructor, Prof. Robt. Wiley, a Lechyst artist pupil and later organist of the leading Episcopal church of Washington, D. C. Mrs. Wood was later at the head of the piano department of Western University, Quindaro, Kans., and was the mainstay of her husband, who had charge of the choral work of that institution. Failing health of Mr. Wood, brought them to California where, for a number of years they were prominent in church circles. After a few years, gave up this work to rear her children, one in this number, a girl—Velma. Born under the influences of this noble art, Mrs. Wood at once recognized a genius in her daughter and proceeded to lavish her wealth of knowledge upon her. She conceived the idea that the race should have one born or it, educated by the unerring hand of a mother to stand out as a beacon light of race achievements. For her stand in this, she had been criticized by her friends, but undeleted as the angels who tread the tractless waste, she persevered until today, we have the brilliant little pianist, Velma M. Wood, recognized by some of the leading critics as the peer of her race and by others, the equal of any. Though the pages of history may never bear record of this mother's deeds, her name shall be blessed and stand at the head of the honor list of unheralded women. GETSIX TO TWELVE YEARS FOR MURDER (Bv A. N. P.) Philadelphia, Pa., April 6—On October 31st last, Rufus Murray Killed Prince Duncan, a prominent South Philadelphia tailor. It was Halloween's night and Murray was out for a lark. He was peculiarly dressed, and carried a Bible. He entered an establishment and asked for a drink, and was set upon by persons in the place, who ejected him. During the altercation, Prince Duncan was killed. Murray was charged with murder and entered a plea of guilty, but his attorney, Henry P. Cheatham, entered a plea of change and the court sentenced Murray to from six to twelve years. On last Monday evening, April 2nd, in the parishes of the Second Baptist Church, with the pastor, Rev. T. L. Griffith officiating, Mrs. Daisy Cerutt and Mr. S. P. Johnson were united in holy matrimony with just a few friends present. The many friends of both contracting parties are happy and much pleased over the union. Mrs. Cerutt is well known in the community and is the widow of the late Atty. B. Burton Cerutt, who passed away March 21st or 1927. Mrs. Cerutt, like Mr. Johnson, hails from the Sundowner State of Kansas, whose forefathers were among the early settlers thereof and are the thriftiest and most highly respected citizens of that great State. The grooat, S. P. Johnson, is a foremost and outstanding character in church and fraternal circles. He served as secretary of the International in church and fraternal circles. He served as secretary of the International Labor organization, is Past Grand Master of Odd Fellows, Grand Patron Eastern Star. Mr. Johnson is the junior member of the firm of Conner and Johnson, Funeral Directors. After the marriage ceremony had been performed, the happy couple were served to a wedding breakfast at Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Hicks on 6th Street. Then they departed for San Diego where they will spend their honeymoon. The Eagle joins with the many friends in wishing the newlyweds a happy journey over the sometimes tempestuous sea of matrimony. POSTAL ALLIANCE GAINS VICTORY SEGREGATION IN-ST. LOUIS CAFETERIA ABOLISHED BY: JOSEPH B. BROWN, Jr. St. Louis, Mo., March 31.—Segregation in the Service Reletions Council operated Cafeteria of the St. Louis Post Office will not be tolerated. This is the decision handed down by Mr. Louis Brehm, Director of Service Relations, Washington. The National Alliance of Postal Employees through its President, Mr. Roy O. Wilhitow, Chairman of the Welfare Committee carried his protest to First Assistant Postmaster General Bartlett after failure to confer with the Postmaster a St. Louis, who immediately referred the case to Mr. Brehm. Mr. Brehm made a hurried trip to St. Louis and after investigation, issued instructions that segregation, implied or actual, would not be tolerated in the Cafeteria. This is another signal victory for the N. A. P. E. BETH EDEN CALLS NEW PASTOR At a regular business meeting of the church, the officers of the Beth Eden Baptist Church, located at 27th and Paloma streets, officially called Rev. E. E. Burkhalter of Phoenix, Arizona, as pastor of said church. Rev.

W. Willis and Party Visit Oil Holdings in Ventura County Monday morning, before the sun had made its bow above the hill tops,, a caravan or automobiles were seen wending their way across the mountains and into the valley which is the homd of the valuable oil lease now in the hands of R. W. Willis. The site is off the Piru-Fillmore highway in Ventura County, Calif. About thirty persons were in the party that inspected the oil site now in the hands of Mr. Willis. In reaching the oil country, the party travelled over the devastated region swept by the waters from the Group of Party Visiting Oil Holdings of R. W. Willis San Francis dam break. Hence it was indeed refreshing when the party entered the territory of oil and directed to the cough of an oil well that makes a practical demonstration of the contention of Mr. Willis that he has secured the first real oil property ever owned and operated by Negroes. Aside from being an oil site, the country surrounding the same is beau- Mr. R. W. Willis and Mr. R. B. Scott Interesting Prospective Buyers of Stock in Oil Holdings tiful with its dripping pepper trees and wild, but beautiful shrubbery of every description.

L. and Elder Brewer, all of Pasadena. Mr. Lee Stambrook, Supt. and Mr. Harold Haxly, engineer and Mrs. Hoxly, graciously received the party and were cordial in every way. Anyhow, a happy, hopeful experience was enjoyed by these who ventured and they are saying to others, if you are doubtful, go and see for yourself. HAILSTALK'S PAINTING SELLS FIRST (By: A. N. P.) New York City, March 22.—A boat made several years ago by John T. Hallstalk, that he could paint better pictures than some of the leading painters, was realized Monday, if the selling power of pictures is any indication of their worth. Hallstalk's painting was hanging in the art gallery along with some of the most noted artists of America and was the first to be sold. Hallstalk has served as janitor, elevator man, handy man, and whatnot while he studies art in the spare hours. The drawing which brought him fame was that of Warrentown, Virginia, his birthplace. The picture is a panorama with houses and barns and winding roadways in bright colors. Children are portrayed rolling hoops and disporting themselves upon the green and dogs are shown barking and having an enjoyable time. In fact everything denotes happiness and the artist selected the title, "A Happy Day" for his work, which was purchased by Miss Lauren Ford, painter for children.

The laundry is taking its stand among Los Angeles' modern laundries. FORGER CAUGHT CROSSING BORDER Just as he was about to cross the line between San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, Manuel Brown, 1845 E. 21st St. was nabbed by Detectives McDuff and Green. Brown was held on five charges of forgery. A Kansas painter by trade Brown had hit upon the plan to make some easy money. Copying the signature of an employer's on a pay check he wrote others to the number of six for suits running down from $88.25 to $15. Brown will have to spend a long term in the State prison. --- MAKING good in whatever you are engaged is within your power. Work for the other fellow as conscientiously and as painstakingly as you would for yourself. Many persons make complete failures in whatever they undertake to do, often because they lack faith in their own ability to do and then there are those who suffer from imaginary pride. They are too proud to do the little things of life which serve as stepping stones to greater accomplishments. Training one's self to fit in where others fail, is a good policy. Too often persons with well developed brains are wards of the city or state in which they live and their attitudes towards life are so warped that they are a menace to society and human objects of pity and shame. The world is big and beautiful; there is a place for everyone. The job that is before you is the finding of your niche and fitting yourself therein so snugly that it will be impossible for you to be replaced by another. Do well your part for therein all honor lies. WHEN you cherish a personal grudge or grievance against, a brother, especially when he is not aware of the fact that you are sore; in other words, if he has not even been privileged to correct a mistake made unknowingly, remember that you are doing yourself greater mental harm than the one against whom the grievance is directed. BECAUSE your friend is unable to share your opinion does not mean that he or she does not like you. Learn to disagree and still be friends. IT is said that Negroes of Florida have broken through a tradition that was handed down by the Civil War period and are deserting the Republican party and registering Democratic. This change of political policy is due to a desire for better schools, paved streets, sanitation and all public accommodations in proportion to taxation. ONE of the needs of Central Avenue is more diversity in the form of retail business enterprises. Of cafes, barber shops, beauty parlors, and cleaning and pressing shops, there appear to be an over supply. What is needed according to keen observation, are some shoe stores, for men, women and children; men's furnishings, groceries, hat shops, and meat and poultry markets. Lands about Monrovia and Watts districts furnish ideal sites for poultry raising; and it would creciably make us feel good to see some Negro flower vender on Central Avenue bring up the rear with the Mexican and Italian traders in flowers who supply a large Negro need along this Avenue on Saturday afternoons especially. DAY by day the New Somerville Hotel climbs higher and higher toward the sky and with its upward flight so climbs our thoughts, hoping, feeling and thinking that because of this forward step, some day the section of the city that surrounds the Somerville Hotel will be the scene of high class Negro business representing all classes and kind. LINCOLN ORGANIST PROVES A SUCCESS Among those deserving praise for creditable showing is Mrs. Elizabeth Bruce, organist at the Lincoln Theatre. Mrs. Bruce was selected to this position from leading organists of the city who had also tried out for the position. Nothwithstanding the fact that she had had no experience in theatrical work, Mrs. Bruce has proven her ability as musician and organist in mastering the massive Wurlitzer organ. Her instructor, head organist at one of the leading downtown theatres, will please with his prowess has made during the past six months. She is now featuring song slides which is adding much toward the entertainment of the patrons of the Lincoln Theatre.

Mountain Lion beat Billy Hoon of town in San Bernardino, last Thursday night. Adams was in wonderful shape, and showed it by the fight he put up. The first round was about even, with both boxers working a left hand to good advantage. In the second the fireworks started, with Hoon on the receiving end. Johnny smacked Hoon with a straight left to the jaw, and followed up with a terrific right cross. Billy went down badly hurt, for the count of eight. He got up and managed to stay the rest of the round. Hoon's handlers worked with Him during his minutes rest and he came out as strong as ever. From the third on it was a battle of left hands and Adams has developed a left that hits like nobody's affairs. Hoon was out fought during the fight, but he dealt out some mighty blows to Berdo's pride. Adams had a lot to fight for. His future as a main eventer rested solely on that bout. Johnny has been on the downward grade for several weeks and many thought Hoon would give him the last push. Adams upset the dope and came back, as for comebacks Johnny has no peer. The Mountain Lion lisa matched to meet Bobby Lasalle at Wilmington on April 15th in a grudge fight. The pair were matched last. November but Adams was declared physically unfit by the Comission's doctor, and was unable to go through with the match. Lasalle claimed Adams took a run out pill on the pretense of a broken rib. Babe Jackson the slugger from Redlands lost to Clarence Donovan, a hard-hitting southpaw by a K. O. in ong round. Donovan's southpaw style had Jackson in a quandary and Babe just couldn't get going. Donovan was way too fast for Jackson. It was over so quickly that Babe himself didn't know what it was all about. Two right and a left was all that was necessary for Jackson, Thursday night. That will be all, there isn't any more West of Figueroa In an effort to provide roadway space for the thousands of automobiles whose drivers seek to leave the central business district toward the west during the evening rush hour, the City Council has passed an ordinance prohibiting parking between 4:30 and 6:00 P.M. on a number of streets just west of Figueroa Street. This action was taken after R. T. Dorsey, city traffic signal engineer, reported that the lanes of parked cars, west of Figueroa Street was seriously interfering with the movement of westbound traffic. Dorsey is cooperating with the Traffic Commission in working out plans for the speeding up of traffic through signalized corners The streets where parking will be prohibited between 4:30 and 6:00 P.M. are as follows: Second St., Figueroa to Beaudry; Third Street, from the west portal of the tunnel to Beadry; Fifth Street, from Figueroa to Beaudry; Sixth Street, from Figueroa to Loomis; and Seventh, Eighth and ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Ninth greet, from Figueros to Francisco. Parking also will be prohibited between these hours, on Venice Boulevard, from Hilt to Figueros streets. Traffic counts at Eighth and Figueroa streets showed that before the new noparking rule went into effect west of Figueroa Street, only 795 cars were able to pass the intersection in an hour. Under emergency parking restrictions, 1599 machines were able to cross the intersection almost doubling the capacity. OPEN BIDS FOR SOTO PAVING Through the filling in and the paving of a new roadway across a ravine, Soto Street will be completed as a major traffic artery, from Alhambra Avenue to the Union Pacific tracks in the east side industrial district. It was announced by the Traffic Commission. The board of public works opened bids April 2 for the grading and paving of this section, which is between Hohenbeck Avenue and Whittier Boulevard. A deep, impassible arroyo now crosses Soto Street between these points, making necessary a fill of 18 feet. The new grade will be reduced to five and one-half per cent. The new roadway, permanently paved, will be 56 feet wide, while the entire street will be 80 feet wide. Sections of Garnet Street and Opal Street also will be improved under the same proceedings. The Hohenbeck Heights district has long been in need of adequate north and south arteries. The Soto Street project will be of great benefit in filling this need, but other projects as well, are now under way. Indiana Street has just been paved from First Street to Mines Avenue, and the paving of Lorena Street from Hoflenbuck Avenue to First Street, is now under construction. Paving has been practically completed on Monterey Pass road, from Chicago Avenue to Garvey Avenue. MUSICIANS OUSTED FROM AUSTRALIA (By A. M. P.) Sydney, Australia, April 6.—Concerted action on the part of "white Australians" to bar Negroes and Italians from Australia and thereby keep "Australia White," reached a climax Thursday when the house of representatives ordered a group of colored musicians from the United States deported. According to those behind the movement, which is headed by William Hughes former Premier, the musicians who are members of the Sonny Clay Plantation Orchestra, had been too familiar with white women since their arrival in Australia, and that such should not be permitted. In a dispatch sent out by the local correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, Hughes is credited with having made a blasphemous attack of Negroes being permitted to enter Australia and against them associating with wite folks, especially white women, saying in part. "If that happened in the southern states of America, the offenders would be deported—they could not have five overnight Australian musicians are boycotted in America and now the land or liberty sends us these black beasts to entertain us." Negro performers and musicians have been coming to take this country for many years and have made a delegation to the Republican National the citizens. Recently a revue, hearer by Joe Sheltal, toured the country with much success. The Negro orchestras are more in demand than the native musical aggregations and it is be- Prof. Aaron Harrison Composes Concert Overture FIRST OF HIS RACE TO COMPOSE OVERTURE BY: WILLIAM H. FERRIS, A. M. Innovations come out of Philadelphia. Pa. The Declaration of Independence was signed there. It was the first capitol of the United States. The first anti-slavery society was started there. And now sometime this spring it will witness the publishing of the first Concert Overture to be written by a Colored musician. The Overture "Ode to Lincoln" was composed by Prof. Aaron Harrison director of Harrison Musical Studios at 623 S. Broad St. Philadelphia. Pa. It contains a complete score of 65 pages and is specially written for concert band of at least 40 musicians. It has been inspected by some of the leading musicians of Philadelphia and won their approval. The Concert Overture is written in Sonata-Form. The Overture begins with a Wailing Song in D Minor followed by a Soliloquy in F Major. Then the rest of the composition with D Minor as the principal key. A nationally known New York Publisher wrote to Mr. Harrison "We have tried to procure a Concert Overture written by an American Negro but without success." Philadelphia publishers have spoken in the same strain. So it can be safely said that Prof. Harrison is an innovator in the field of music. This summer Prof. Harrison intends to arrange this Overture for chorus and orchestra. Resume of Career Prof. Harrison was born in Texas and studied music in Texas, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, Pa. a master of conducting and composition of music. He has a certificate from the University of Pennsylvania, Harmony and Counterpoint. He has directed a Musical Studio at 623 S. Broad St. Phila, for over four years and has instructed Harmony, Counterpoint and Composition. Since he has been in Phila. Prof. Harrison has put on several classy recitals. At his recitals, the orchestra, which he conducts has played the march "King and Vassal" which he composed and De Beriot "Thema and Variationen" which he arranged. He has also written a book of instructions on Trombone Playing which takes in everything as far as the art has gone. When Gov. Dan Moody was inaugurated Governor of Texas, Prof. Harrison wrote an Inauguration March for his inauguration. Prof. Harrison has written a number of songs, in which he has composed both words and music. His "Emancipation Hymn," "The Bartered Slave" and other songs will be published this spring. He has also composed another selection of 47 pages, for concert band of 40 musicians called "First Averie." It is a theme with variation. He is also writing an Operafta called "Whistling Boy." Prof. Harrison is establishing a new institution, and institution of instructors, arrangers, and publishers. This will cover the entire range of music from the thought to the printed lifewed that that is the real cause why the hostile forces are seeking to bar them. The association with white women is being used to fan the fires of prejudice and to place the colored Americans in a bad light. The group behind Hughes is attempting to have a law passed prohibiting Negroes and Italians from entering the country and are doing every possible effect its passage. It is opposed by the government, following the example of South Africa, has decided to exclude all colored entertainers and boxers. Prof. Harrison's songs are not specially Negroid. His ideal is "Art for Art's sake." His definition of music is classic. He says, "Music is man's most perfect medium for the expression of his thoughts, development of his soul and adoration of his God." He has written creditable poetry and bits of wisdom called, "Harrison-nograms." This is his definition of Art. "Art is a sacred obligation A fancied peace of mind A world, a sphere, a chaos bright Or mental thought sublime" His early prayer is a gem. It reads, "Let me sing as poets sing A song of wit and wilt And let the chimes, carlHons ring Sweet medies more and more And let the chords to Harmony strung Vibrate with full intent To soothe the tired weary soul Assist the warm heart Square and face to face." Hunter and Philosophy BY: TH STAFF HUMOR The ready word of sympathy and kindliness will win out, where ugly words for ugly words will increase ill temper and tend to make real what was at first merely a passing shadow. A dignified old lady, ascending the steps of an English Church, had difficulty with her breathing and asked the assistance of the pastor of this church. He offered her his arm and on reaching the church door she thanked him and inquired: "Do you happen to know who is preaching this morning?" "The rector, madam," he replied. "Oh!," she said, "then might I beg you to do me yet another favor?" "Certainly," replied the rector once more, "what else can I do for you?" "Would you," said the old lady, "be good enough to assist me down the steps again?" HOW TRUE Edgar: "You must think I'm a perfect fool." Druggist: Here sir, is your package. Seventy-five cents please. Deaf old Gentleman: (placing nickel on counter) Thank you. There is your nickel. Druggist: But I said seventy-five. Deaf old gentleman: (going out the door) Well, there's your five cents." Druggist: Well, go on you old fool, I made three cents anyway. AND BIRDIES SAY Betty: (sternly to John arriving home at 3 A. M.) What does the clock say? John: (genially) It says, 'tick tock' and the doggies say 'bow-wow' and the little pussy cats say 'meow-meow'. "Dat's correct," said the mal de mere victim weakly, "dey 'aint no agymment dere. Ah's a landlubber and Ah's jes 'flindin' out how much Ah lubs it." **BUGHOUSE POETRY** Tell me, friend, oh tell me! What was Paul Revere? Do Jersey cows wear jerseys? Is near beer very near? Are humbugs bugs? And why are rugs? Do Swallows swallow fast? Are highbrows really high? Do flies like to be cast? Boss: You're getting careless. This wall is crooked. Worker: H'm. I guess I forgot to have my plumb line cested lately. "Mother," asked Jinnie when they bad guests for dinner, "will the dessert hurt me, or is there enough to go around?" "My wife has been using a flesh reducing roller for nearly two months."

Of course they go and come daily but last Sunday in particular took the cake for traffic. Unless you were there you wouldn't believe it took two hours to go 10 miles and 4 hours to make 50 miles. Better not go if you're in a hurry. We hope the story concerning the driver of the smart looking Packard with the distinctive Fall tires on it isn't so. The building committee of Summer Outing Club held an enthusiastic meeting at its ranch above Sagus last Sunday. The trip was made without accident and a real live time was had. Those present were: Virgil Spencer; Pres.; Mr. and Mrs. Everett; Mr. and Mrs. John Barefield and guest; Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey; Mr. and Mrs. Price and guest; Mrs. Terry and daughter, Lorane.

Mr. Louis Blodgett is again in the city after a motor trip in his Dodge to Santa Clara Valley, Mexico. Tom Pillows reports the Hudson and Essex sales situation as good. The Blodgett concern is holding their own. Enoch Badgshaw breezed through the city limits last Wednesday en route to the oasis south of here. The Jennings family, of which E.C.

Left Hand Turns Delay Traffic Figures, showing that left-hand turns delay traffic, as much as 22 per cent, at an intersection, have been obtained by the Traffic Commission, in conducting a survey of the city's busiest traffic corner, at Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue. With only a few left-hand turns, 501 cars on Wilshire Boulevard were able to get across Western Avenue for each lane, in an hour, but with a heavy percentage of left-hand turns; only 388 cars on Western Avenue were able to get across the intersection in an hour for each lane. The survey showed that Wilshire FAMOUS HERB REM No matter suffer, men or using Chinese ness here in I have made m very efficacio matism, ca troubles, can ments of wom A piles for "good manners" and "courtesy" among automobile drivers was voiced yesterday by Arnold Hodgkinson, general manager of the National Automobile Club, as a safety factor in the reduction of the present appalling number of automobile accidents that occur each year. The appeal was put forth by Hodgkinson as part of the club's campaign to urge its more than 50,000 members in California to do their utmost to make this a "safety year" among motorists of the state. It is hoped by this means to make California a leader among the states in reducing the number of automobile accidents. In his appeal Hodgkinson points out that to be a real good driver means to have what is commonly known as "good manners." This simply means, he declares, that one must have some consideration for the rights of others and not insist too strongly upon the rights that one considered one's own. "The great majority of automobile drivers are not 'intentionally discounted', but rather the contrary," says Hodgkinson, "because most of them have been trained in their business and social relations to have some consideration for others, especially those with whom they come into contact. "A really good driver is one who has the acumen to see and appreciate the problems of others on the road beside himself. He is prepared to exercise a little more care and patience in his relations with other drivers than is required by the 'exact letter of the law'. "For instance there is the 'in-and-out', the driver who dashes in and out of a long line of automobiles in the hope, often vain, of being able to pass the machine in front. There is no greater pest on the highways. Such a driver cannot, by the most lenient standards, be regarded as having 'good manners.' "Then there are the so-called 'road hogs.' They are in a similar class with the 'in-and-out' and they should be suppressed if such a thing is possible. There is also the noisy individual whose heavy thumb holds down the horn button on his steering column when 'bonking' his horn is totally unnecessary, and who only adds to the already great volume of street and highway noises. "In the cities we have the driver who 'inches' along at the cross walks when the traffic signal is against him and who thus encroaches upon the crossing lanes reserved for pedestrians. The time he gains by endeavoring to 'beat the bell' is so instantiant that the total gained for the day cannot be very great. "These types of drivers are the ones who have brought all automobile drivers, as a class, into somewhat bad rpute, and it is these whose 'manners' must be reformed in order to make automobiling safe both for those who ride in the motor cars, and the pedestrians. "Many other types of 'bad mannered' drivers could be cited but those mentioned are sufficient. If they can be eliminated, then it is safe to predict that fatal accidents will become less and 'safety campaigns' will be the success they deserve to be." Boulevard is primarily a through thoroughfare, with 90 per cent of the traffic going straight through, while Western Avenue is a distributor street, with only 62 per cent of the traffic going straight through. The peak hour on Wilsbire Boulevard showed 2006 cars passing the intersection in four lanes, with 58 left-hand turns, while the peak hour on Western Avenue showed that 1164 machines moving in three lanes, crossed the intersection in one hour in the same direction, with 294 left-hand turns. The survey indicates the value of grade separations, on heavily congested corners, more efficient. AUTOMOTIE NOTES Women motorists of New York City must give exact ages when applying for drivers' licenses. Late models of French automobiles show a decided American influence in body design and accessories. The price of automobiles in Chile has been cut nearly one-third by the new tariff rates, according to the National Automobile Club. The New York City traffic court has collected approximately $2,390,800 since its establishment in 1916. In England gasoline, is called "motor spirit" or "petrol;" in France "essence," and in Italy "benzine." A new motor road between Buguepest and Athens is being contemplated in Hungary. There are at present approximately 1,800,000 automobiles licensed in Great Britian. When a tire develops a slow leak, the remedy often lies in a new valve core. Plans in Czecho-Slovakia call for the expenditure of $9,000,000 annually for the construction and maintenance of automobile roads, according to the National Automobile Club. There are now more than 10,000 motor trucks and delivery wagons in Berlin, Germany, according to the National Automobile Club. Motor vehicle registration in Mississippi increased 13.9 per cent from January 1, 1927 to January 1, 1928. About 15,317,500 families in the United States own automobiles.

Pennsylvania Railroad's Flyer, crashed into the Broadway Limited, on the same road four miles west of Lima, Ohio. Tuesday night, injuring more than 40 passengers on both trains. The Broadway Limited was awaiting orders from a tower because of telegraph wires having been severed by a sleet storm, when the Liberty bore down, running at 40 miles an hour. Both trains were East bound. BE A LEADER It has been said that leaders are born, not made, and yet some of our foremost executives have been considered physical weaklings. Habits make followers of many of us; we wait for someone else to lead. Had we taken the initiative, ourselves, we would have had to assume responsibility for the outcome, and we shrink at that. The way to learn to lead is to be lead. For every leader there are a thousand sheep to follow. The fact that so few are willing to assume the responsibility for leading makes it certain that the man who leads stands out, attracts attention, and, if his leading is successful wins promotion. As a forerunner for leadership, thought is essential. Your job will be done better if you give it thought: Your prospect in life will increase as you develop your capacity for constructive thought, and the more you think the more need you will see for leadership, the more opportunity you will find to lead. Leadership carries with it responsibility and danger, but also greater remuneration and greater enjoyment of life. ALONG THE LINE The Canadian Pacific in its annual report announces that last year it had net earnings of $2,442,120 from its Ocean and Coastal steamship lines. At their meeting in New York yesterday, directors of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway declared a quarterly dividend of $2.50 a share on the common stock. UNION PACIFIC GOSSIP The file and rank of waiters on this great system heretofore composed: physicians, dentists, chemists—but never have they had a judge until very recently, when Judge Seltzer, formerly of Chicago and Oakland who maintained a suite of offices in the Windy City. The Judge at this writing is on Diner 302. The Maid quarters at Ogden has ceased to be the "House of Correction" and as there seems to be an unusual amount of Static in that "House of a Thousand Horrors" maids operating out of this district are gradually finding themselves more peaceful roosts for the evening in dear old Ogden. The Union Pacific, Calender has found a new use in the motion picture studios of Hollywood; the shield has been found to be a very practical focusing card. Otto Kahn party en route from Los Angeles to New York left Central station March 30th, as Second Number 23, sleeper "Glen Orchard" and Missouri Pacific Business Car No. 2 formed the most important part of the equipment. These cars were delivered to the Pennsylvania in Chicago, April 2nd, and departed on the Manhattan Limited at 10:30 A. M. for New York. Paramount Lasky Players formed a special train on April 1st and left Los Angeles for Cedar City, Elon National Park for scenes to film Jack Holt's latest picture "Vanishing Pioneers".

A special train carrying the "Chicago Cubs" to Chicago departed from the Central Station over the Southern Pacific and Rock Island lines to Chicago—Eddie Hays was porter in charge on the Club Car. McKinley Green has moved on the fashionable "Millionaire Row" off Hooper Ave, (Sillas) is a good boy and may rate well in this vicinity. Lawrence Cotton, Pantryman on Diner 0024, had the misfortune to lose three valuable police dogs recently, as yet no clue has been found to the guilty one who administered the poison, this is a great shock to Lawrence as he prized them very highly. Have you heard "Ukelele Uke" that little relief third on the "Lark"? He really makes a ukelele "Uke." No Foolin! Bennie Robertson, the crack coffee boy on Diner 10042, had visions of Easter Eggs, Easter Services, Easter Dress Parade and an Easter Swiebite until Mr. Kendall relieved him just a few days prior to Easter—now he has gone in seclusion. Cheer up, Pee Wee! SANTA FE'S WASP NEST A Secret—Be careful girls, the cutest little dog met my Carol Hawkins at the station in Chicago, this trip, I heard it was the wife.

Hazel, if you don't hurry and get married to that fellow, some of the boys will steal you; I can hear them saying lots of nice things about you. Mr. Bob Elmore and Mr. Orie friends last trip in L. A. That's fun, Doudy were too tired to even call ny. So few people travelling West too. Wonder if they were really fatigued or lost their pocket books. Mrs. Maria Boone is still running on the "Chief" says she likes it fine and would like to stay. (But wonder what Mrs. Watts would think about it.) Say, if you want to find the Santa Fe bunch especially Easter Monday evening, they will be at the beautiful Savoy. Wonder who had'a pick on the "Chief" in Cicero, Illinois, the other night. Mr. Sweet Smiling Cook says he would prefer his "April Fools" through the mail, than through the windows of his car.

Friday, April 6, 1928 GARVEYITES HOLD BIG MEETING (By A. N. P.) Philadelphia, Pa., Mar. 21—Shouts, yells, screams, the frantic waving of handkerchiefs and prolonged applause played an important part in the largely attended meeting held under the auspices of Chapter 47, the local branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The meeting was held in the Royal Theatre on Sunday afternoon, and after "the tumult and the sboutting died," E. B. Knox, the ambassador of Marcus Garvey, acknowledged his warm reception and announced that he would speak upon the subject of "Freedom." The address was full of interesting facts and figures, and Mr. Knox urged his hearers to get busy and cease asking for alms, but to go "forth conquering and to conquer." "The hour has struck," he said, "and the Negroes must get together and act." He drew forth applause when he stated that there was as much virtue in a man of the black race as there is in a man of the white race, and no artist has any more right, to paint a white Christ than to paint a black Christ. Other features of the meeting were addresses by different members of the association, a drill and several selections by a quartett, which was forced to respond to encores. BRANCH OFFICE OPENED M. B.

BEAUTY AND YOU BEAUTY AND YOU BY: SADIE NERO-DAVIDSON FASHION FOR THE SMALL There has always been something tremendously appealing in the "Pocket Venue" ideal, if the woman who is small in statue is also nicely proportioned. If she is slim and daintily made, she must, to be sure, have her own philosophy of dress and abide by it. There are two outstanding "don't to be followed if you are small. Don't attempt to wear large figured or heavy fabrics or the longish lines suited only to the large woman. They make the small look clumsy. The alm of the smart woman today is not to look pretty, so much as chic. If you are slim or short, you can look enchanting in vivid shades, but if you are short and broad, don't attempt them. Neither should you wear ruffled style dress, you might present the appearance or plump exclamation point. An exaggeration large enough may move more easily, where a small one could look charming. If you select a lace dress, let it be of a small design. A small bag should be chosen for a great hand bag on a small woman takes the aspect of a piece of luggage than a purse. Shoes are a matter of taste, since colored shoes are in the vogue, but if you can't afford several pairs, then choose a plain pair. Gloves should be plain as for every woman. Don't forget that your features are slight and not heavy, so large heavy pieces. Not more than one ring should be worn at one time as arule. Necklaces must be light and simple. To the tall woman or large proportion, we give just the opposite advice. he can wear most beautifully the loose hanging sort of thing. Color and texture are standard robe. If you are of a dark complexion, you can't wear blue or light green. A slip of a person who is underweight and perhaps a trifle pale might decide not to wear black. Henry Starr is the magic name.

MARINE LEGISLATION Recommendations regarding proposed national legislation on the American Merchant Marine have been submitted to the committee of commerce or the U.S. Senate by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce in response to a request from the chairman of that committee. Predominant among the ideas in the resolution is the belief that the merchant marine should be owned by private enterprise, and that it should be sufficient to handle the greater portion of American overseas trade in order to guarantee national security and agricultural, commercial and industrial welfare. A Shiping Board maintained as a regulatory body, with authority over ships similar to that exercised by the Interstate Commerce Comm. over railroads; equalization of navigation laws gravisal relinquishment of present government control; and establishment of reserve school are a few of the suggestions offered by the Chamber after a study of the entire subject by the Harbor and Foreign Commerce Committee. The Great "Miss California" Popularity Contest This promises to be one of the interesting features of the National Conference of the N. A. A. C. P. which meets in Los Angeles in June. The winner or this contest will be the especial guest of honor of the Conference of the National Conference Program for the contestants in the "Miss California Popularity Contest" and the babies taking part in the baby contest. The contest is state wide and San Diego is entering Mrs. Willie Townsend Robertson who was the winner in a recent contest held in San Diego by the Woman's Auxiliary of San Diego. Other branches are being heard from and it looks as though the contest will be a live one. Several Los Angeles young ladies have consented to be interviewed and published later. We are asking the various organizations to sponsor some worthy young lady of their choice. The prize is a dress worth $100 in which she will be presented. As a fitting climax to the Popularity Contest the Auxiliary is presenting Mme. Florence Cole Talbot at the Philharmonic Auditorium. The sale of tickets will be counted as Contest money by the contestants and their friends. Help a good cause by sponsoring an event in the contest and help make the National Conference the greatest ever held. For further information call Mrs. M. G. Patton, Chm., AX. 9680; Mrs. M.

We had a real feast of good music last Sunday. Men's Chorus with Mr. Kirk as soloist made things interesting in the morning. A quartett from Williams Singers surprised us with two sweet songs at the end of the morning services. In the evening we had solos by Mr. Charles White and Miss Anna Ma! Griffith. Congregational singing was at its best all day. Short testimonies preceded the evening sermon, which was followed by the Lord's Supper. Pastor Griffith in the morning delivered a sermon appropriate to Palm Sunday. His subject was the Meaning of the Palm Sunday Hosannas. He had two verses as a text which very appropriately connected the main events of the Day's Sunday School lesson. There was a reference to the kingdom in the S. S. lesson. The crowds cried Hosanna. They really thought the king was coming. He did come. The Kingdom was really ushered in. The sermon thrilled all hearers. Look for other announcements of the coming Easter services. You will find elsewhere general announcement, and the program for the evening. PINGECU 1030 C PHONE: W. G. ROWSON ```markdown ``` A RAGE ENTERPRISE, OWNED AND CONUCTED BY REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS.

N. P.) Philadelphia, Pa.; April 6—Church circles here are shocked over the breach of promise suit instituted against one of the country's leading clergymen, the Rev. Dr. Charles Albert Tindley, the pastor of the Tindley Temple Methodist Episcopal Church. The Church was known formerly as East Calvary M.E. Church, but when the new building was erected it was desired to name it as a memorial to the work of this eminent divine. Miss Alice L. MacDonald, whose age is given as fifty, and who resides in Newark, N.J., files suit to recover damages for alleged breach of promise. Miss MacDonald declares that the minister was a frequent caller at her home, where she entertained him lavishly and upon repeated occasions he made offers of marriage to her, which were accepted. She cites the date on which they became engaged, and from that time on, conducted herself accordingly. Miss MacDonald says she is an ardent church worker of the Methodist denomination, and that she earns her living as a church organist and teacher of music. She met Dr. Tindley when he was in attendance at a religious conference there, and was assigned as house guest at her home. Dr. Tindley has already lived out his allotted span of years, as described in the Bible, being three score years and ten, yet she says he is an ardent wooer. He displayed his affection for her at all times, spending portions of the day and evening with her. Notwithstanding the understanding that was between the couple, and after repeated promises to wed Miss MacDonald which she claims led to her to make lavish preparations for the wedding ceremony, Rev. Tindley was on October 12, 1927, married to Mrs. Jennie Cotton of Baltimore, with whom he is now living. Rev. Tindley had been a widower not quite two years. A capias for the arrest and holding in bail of Rev. Tindley was issued from the Court of Common Pleas No. 4, by Judge Alessandroni, on an affidavit filed by Joseph Marinelli, attorney for Miss MacDonald.

EASTER Never did the world need the essential meaning and the spiritual stimulus of Easter more than in this year of grace. On every hand are those whom the state of the world disheartens. We are told, if we listen to their lamentations, that religion has failed, that the plain, homely virtues of faith and loving kindness and mercy as between men and their fellows are dead or inoperative, and in this vale of tears the mourners are the most sensible of mortals, since there is no reason to rejoice in anything we hear or see. To such an attitude of mind Easter comes as a shining and a beautiful refutation, as an angel seen by those who are in sorrow round a tomb. Easter is not to be observed merely as the commemoration of a triumph over the grave, a victory over death, nineteen centuries ago. It stands for the glory and the power of a resurrection here and now—of a rebirth day, of the springing of new life in this glad hour for "a confident tomorrow." The meaning of the festival is not to be correlated with the ceremony of any sect or any ritual. It cannot all be told in music or in flowers or in the wings and fire of the most eloquent of sermons. It is not all in the glow of the hour of prayer and praise and song. It goes far deeper than words can utter; it reaches the deepest of the truths we know, at the very heart of our human lives, in their need of that which is higher, than ourselves, and in their aspiration toward that which is true eternally. It is each man's resurrection and not that of Christ alone on which this day insists forever. It is in your power and mine to cast off what is of the earth that holds us down to the mundane and the material. Easter is the freedom and light, the upspringing joy of the emancipation of the soul of man. Least of all the festivals is it a time for selfish introspection, for the backward look and the unprofitable resemblance of failure and disaster, the sin besetting and the shame disfiguring the pattern of our human lives. It is, instead, the time for the looking and thinking and acting beyond and away from ourselves. As in the solemn and beautiful jubilee we consider the lilies, and hear the music, and feel the inspiration of the sermon and enter into the radiance and the rapture of the morning, let us take thought how we may impart to other lives and bring to other hearts the joy we feel, knowing that as we are ministered unto it is our duty to minister and to spread abroad the message of the Eastertide to a world that needs all the cheer that any has to give.

Most of the total mileage flown any year in America is recorded by air-service operators for individuals, corporations and firms other than mail and regular express organizations. The United States has had hundreds of airmen who are "on their own." They are wandering pilots, here today and somewhere else tomorrow. The young men who had learned to fly in the army and navy during the war returned to civil life with one great desire—to continue in the alluring field of aviation. As the government had thousands of surplus engines and planes to be disposed of, these war pilots created a legitimate market, and they soon developed into a nation-wide group of air propagandists, largely responsible for such air-mindedness of the American people as exists today. Hundreds of cities and towns had at least one flier who turned his war experience to civil pursuits. They became air gypsies. They flew at county fairs. Some of them became stunt fliers. Sky-writing and other forms of advertising attracted many. The air-mail service recruited others. Most of the wandering fliers have ceased to wander. They have become what aviation calls fixed-base operators, and commercial flying in nearly all its phases has settled down upon a solid and businesslike basis. But it was the gypsy flier who carried aviation through the post-war period of national apathy and indifference that abruptly ended with Lindbergh's flight to Paris. THE IDLE WORD The idle word that stings is as old as human speech. Spoken thoughtlessly or spoken in a moment of irritation, it says more than the speaker meant. At least it says more than he would have said if he had taken second thought. Too often in a hasty moment one who really would not for worlds cause lasting hurt does just that because he reaches for the first remark that will register. The idle word that stings is as en thoughtlessly or spoken in a more than the speaker meant. A would have said if he had taken a hotly moment and who really These idle words go deep, deep into the heart and memory of the one to whom they are addressed. There is no way of reaching this harm by laws and courts. There is no way of resolving that one will never say the thing that causes needless hurt, except by resolving to build up a habit in one's life of saying only kindly things until quiet reflection has shown the need of something ease. This is not a text for weaklings, a counsel of meekness to the point of being trodden upon. It was not a weak man who prayed, "Set a watch before the door of my lips," nor a fool who wrote, "She openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness." No self-made man ever left out the working parts. Misery loves company. They come and go together. Spring always visits a few times before coming to stay. A perfect lady never chews tobacco in public or shoots any unless he is her husband ```markdown ``` Australia, land of the Kangaroo; founded by felons deported from the United Kingdom—Great Britian—has placed an embargo on Japanese, Chinese and Negroes. Premier Hughes, in speech included Italians, but some of the more conservative minds, fearing international complications with La Duce, Mussolini, quickly denounced any such intention as the barring of Italian nationals, but stated with emphasis that "Kangoroo Land" must be kept free from the "contaminating contact" of black and yellow. A band of American Negro musicians playing at Melbourne started the rumpus. If one takes the trouble to notice it will become obvious why the prejudice or color is greater in some sections than others. Wherever there has been a forced colonization, as Australia, the feeling of resentment that has lain dormant through the years of struggle for existence seeks for an outlet. It is a subconscious release of a long pent up peve which must find expression in some form. The forced colonizers of the Antipodes were given some sheep. Allowed to roam at will over the voldt they multiplied greatly. There came a day when the deporters sound that the deportees were becoming an asset to the wealth of the Kingdom, and Australian wool lifted the badge of feloneous peonage into the class of respectability. Once out of the slough it is natural to seek for some other. Color is the vogue, hence the Oriental, who lacks organization, and the American Negro, who lacks protection, even at home. In one of Australia's principal cities, in conspicuous site where the throngs pass, by, stands an imposing monument erected to commemorate the fistic prowess of a pugilist, Peter Jackson, the black man, who, by his sportsmanship, gave the outside world an inkling where Australia was situated. That was before the advent of Hughes who received his concept of the color question when he visited the United States, which brings to mind that those sections of the United States which harbor racial antagonisms, which are the biterest of Negro baiters, were colonized by indentured servants, and deported felons. It need not be a strain on the imagination to visualize some of the forbears of our Southern "fire-eaters" coming over with theodium of the poacher or the taint of $b_3$ debtor—For instance Georgia, Heftin's home. the death of Senator Frank willis, Ohio, came as a shock to his many friends and admirers. Senator Willis was a strong presidential possibility. An ardent advocate for the enforcement of the 18th Amendment, unlike some, he also believed in the strict enforcement of the 14th and 15th. He was a man of strong convictions, courageous and with the fighting spirit of the Crusader. His demise complicates somewhat the political situation in Ohio. The ballots will carry his name, but the delegates will more than likely favor the candidacy of ex-Gov. Lowden. At any rate the Secretary of Commerce will not have a walk away. We last heard Senator Willis address the delegates of the I. B. P. O. E. two years ago when they met in Cleveland. We have heard /the usual "yawd" about not being recognized in State appointments. Has any organized request for political preferment been made? There has been three vacancies on the Board of Education to be filled. They have been open for the three months past. The Board of Education is a vital one and should have a Race member. But positions, like jobs, are not now being pledged. Too many aspirants; And if representation is wanted it must be sought. There is no organization among the Race voters of the State. There are more "Kickers than Pullers." Instead of acting in concert and focusing their political strength on an objective they scramble around in circles, asking much; accomplishing little, and gaining nothing. Pointed out as a man of wealth in the community, it came natural for us to ask, "Has he invested his wealth in any productive enterprise?" We were told that it would be as hard to have him invest one thousand of those dollars in any enterprise as it would be to gather ostrich feathers from the tail of a horse. The Race has a number of men and women who have amassed small fortunes. Of what use are they? Money kept in the stocking or between the mattress, ceases to be money. Prosperity comes only with circulation of money. $10,000 distributed among one thousand is of greater benefit than $20,000 hoarded by any single, individual. Let us learn to use our surplus money in business investments that not only attracts more dollars, but will give employment to any. To be pointed out as a person of wealth without investment is to be heralded as a miser, a hoarder of the "talents" entrusted to his keeping, and who will have a strong account to give the Master when he seeks the accounting. The Boulder Canyon Dam bainn practically assured, Senator Hiram W. Johnson, California, led the fight of the San Francisco delegation for the Bay bridge against the combined opposition of the war and navy departments. He made Admiral Hughes, scar of the navy, furnish the crow for his own gastronomic feast. General Jadwin, of the army, was more obdurate, but was forced to sheathe his argumentive sword when the doughy Senator practically made him acknowledge that his objections were those of a military man and possibly prejudiced. His subordination of the civic welfare to that of what may be a menace against national defense in time of war. Senator Johnson led the fight before the Senate Committee. Representative Welch furnished the fire works in the House. Mayor James Rolph, the five time mayor, got the ear of President Coolidge, who gave to debonair James a sympathetic attention. We don't know where our "Me Too" Sam was. At any rate we did not see him listed among "those present." We would like to know just how many of our hitherto disfranchised race migrants have taken advantage of the opportunity to assert the right of citizenship and registered to vote? This is brought to mind by hearing the assertion that it was as useless to vote in California as to try to vote in Florida. It was an assinine assertion. Te neglect to register; to prepare for any emergency that may arise affecting his or her welfare is not only the neglect of a duty, as a citizen, but a willful act or foolishness which might endanger the progress of the Race for years to come. A law when once it is placed on the statutes is hard to repeal. Vigilance in keeping such perficious enactments, as residential segregation, discrimination in public places, and 'other' humiliating enactments from functioning is necessary and can be effective only through the ballot. Register! Be in the position to strike the blow when danger threatens. Your vote is counted here, and whatever your party affiliation, or leaning, be not a lag-gard—REGISTER! Miss Ethel Haws of Chicago, IL. is a visitor in the City, the house guest of Mrs. J. C. Wright on East 41st St. Many social courtesies have been planned for the charming young visitor during her short stay here. Mrs. Laura Jones was hostess Monday evening to a small group of friends at her residence, 1220 East 41st St., honoring Miss Ethel Haws of Chicago. The evening was passed with music and dancing. Mrs. J. C.

Queries from small merchants or citizens planning to engage in business on a limited scale comprise a substantial percentage of the 13,000 letters which have been received by the Domestic Commerce Division of the Department of Commerce. Because so many problems of the small business man are unusually, it has been decided to set up a special section in the Domestic Commerce Division to deal with them. According to Dr. Frank M. Surface, Assistant Director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, who supervises that Bureau's service facilities applying to market problems in the United States, "the smaller business men's" questions have ranged over a great variety of subjects related to the profitable operation of retail stores but the meat and grocers traders have originated the largest share. A prospective business man in the west, for example, asked for "data or the average cost of a meat market, the per cent of profit, salary, rent, light and power costs which prevail in that business." Full information regarding retail grocery stores and statistics on the average cost of clerk hire was requested by a resident of a small town in Ohio. The frequency of turnover among small grocers, the average volume of business and the amount which should be spent for advertising were the leading questions in a query from New England. Among the other queries were requests for information concerning the wearing apparel business, selling jewelry on the installment plan, the battery service station, the retail furniture business, management of millinery store, and so on throughout the range of business, which might be carried on successfully by a citizen with more or less limited means. In explaining the functions and facilities of the Doostic Commerce Division, Dr. Surface points out that the new section was established to balance the service that Division is in a position to render American citizens generally. He said that information gathered as a result of the recent trail distribution census in eleven important cities in the United States indicated that there is an enormous number of merchants who operate on a relatively small scale. The returns disclosed that in one city nearly 33 per cent of the retailers were doing less than $5,000 worth of business a year. Some concerns were not reported because they did less than $500 worth of business annually. Over 18 per cent of the retailers reported from all eleven cities did from $5,000 to $10,000 worth of business a year and over 28 per cent did from $10,000 to $25,000 annual business. The information collected indicated that perhaps 79 per cent of all the retailers operating might be termed "small business establishments." Dr. Surface points out that the prime purpose of the new unit is to cooperate with these merchants in helping the them to help themselves. He said that much information has al- Bush My Tailor SUITS OF YOUR MATERIAL.....$17.50 To Measure Full Line of Spring and Summer Fabrics to Order $29.50 UPSTAIRS: 1802 CENTRAL AVENUE BUSH MY TAILOR ATlantic 0305 Fares Cut to the East Effective MAY 22 Atlanta, Georgia . $113.60 Atlantic City, N.

Southern Pacific Ask Support For Dam Legislation An appeal has been issued by Geo. L. Eastman, president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, for the support of the citizens of the county in obtaining favorable legislation of the Boulder Dam and the Colorado River flood protection acts. Eastman sites a paramount need of Southern California for the water or the Colorado, and points out the necessity for protecting the Imperial Valley against foods. The suggestion was offered that the successful letter campaign of several years ago be renewed, with California business companies sending letters to eastern firms with whom they are associated asking them to urge their representatives in Congress to support these measures, known as the Boulder Project Act and the Lower Colo- ido River Development Act. Eastman declares this to be a vital problem to California and bases the success of the future development of his region upon the efforts made to pass favorable legislation. ready been collected by the Department which may be had upon request dealing with a very wide range of retail store problems, such as store location and planning, education of a retail sales force, budgetary control in retail store management, department leasing of retail stores, vehicular traffic congestion and retail business, measuring a retail market, etc. In the opinion of Dr. Surface, "it is he, so called little fellow in business," who can often profit to greater advantage from governmental assistance of the type outlined and as a result special efforts are made to provide detailed answers to all requests of this kind. He said as the Department's work develops a much greater range of information will be available to the business man to assist him in avoiding the mistakes and pitfalls which have wrecked so many small businesses in the past. An examination of the records of the morgue of business failures, according to Dr. Surface, shows that mis-management is the cause of the greater percentage of commercial deaths.

People who buy their tires according to our plan get their tires first and save money for them while they ride on them," says the general manager for the Credit Tire Company, who sell the famous Hood tires exclusively in all their twelve Southern California stores. "Thousands of our customers are quite capable of paying cash for their tires. But they know that even enough cash to pay for one good tire has to be saved. That is to say that much money must be kept in the pocket, and not spent for shows, meals, gasoline and so forth. "This saving can be done at first, so that one has the cash in one's pocket to pay for the tire. But that seems to me to be neither so easy or sensible as to go to a Credit Tire Company store, get the tire first and then save the money to pay for it over a period of twenty weeks, while riding on the find that they can equip their cars tire. "The fact is, many of our customers with fine Hood tires all around, through our selling plan, and then pay for the tires over several months, such more easily than they can save the money with which to pay spot cash for one good tire. "More than this—when they are deallied with the Credit Tire Company they buy only the famous Hood tires. Therefore they are not tempted to experiment with inferior makes which everyone knows frequently prove very costly when their prices are figured on a mileage basis.

Easter Long before Easter dawns next Sunday, secret music, vocal and instrumental, will flood the Coliseum in Exposition Park, Los Angeles at 5:30 o'clock, the sound or a busle will announce the breaking of the holy day, and streins from 100 instruments of the Philharmonic Orchstra, George Schneevoigt conducting, will enthrall the worshipers. Upwards or 60,000 persons are expected to take part in the fifth annual Easter sunrise services at the Coliseum. In the past four years an aggregate of 200,000 have attended. Street cars starting for the Park as early as 2:45 a.m. will assure ample transportation service; it is promised. The music program for this year's exercises will be of particular beauty, it is stated by George Leslie Smith, associate manager of the Philharmonic Orchestra, and Zack Farpner, secretary of the Community Development Association, co-sponsors of the yearly observance. The pre-dawn music will be supplied by Virginia Flohri, soprano, who will sing "The Holy Hour." "O Divine Redeemer," "With Verdure Clad," "Come Into Him" and "These are They that Come from the Holy City," and by Dr. Ray Hastings, organist of Temple Baptist Church, who will begin playing at 4 a.m. Robert Robert Hurd, tenor, also will be heard. Community singing, led by J. Arthur Lewis, singing by the Orpheus Four Male quartet and playing by the Philharmonic Orchestra will be features of the actual services. Capt. E.W. Scott, chaplain of the Pacific Fleet, will deliver an Easter message. Invocation and benediction will be said by prominent clergymen. Fair weather for Easter is predicted by Col. H.B.

ERIAL.....$17.50 To Measure Summer Fabrics to Order $29.50 TAILOR ATlantic 0305 Friday, April 6, 1928 The St. Francis Dam disaster, calling into swift response the Red Cross and other first aid organizations, provides a significant answer to an important issue raised last fall during the Community Chest drive, according to D. C. MacWatters, head of the local chapter of the Red Cross. "That issue," he declared, "was raised by a sentimental minority which averred 'charity' should be a personal transaction the individual could see and feel, as when a man gives a dime to a beggar. The present catastrophe, searching out one's uttermost sense of pity and terror, can be 'seen' and 'felt.' And the Welfare Agencies which leapt instantly to the work of relief and rescue were enabled to do so because all, including the Red Cross, are sustained by the Community Chest. "Every one of the 400,000 persons who contributed to the Chest last fall played a vital part in this humane first aid. 'It takes money to make the mare go,' and the 150 or so Chest Agencies 'go' because we support the Chest. The year around we are too preoccupied with our own tasks to 'see and feel' the work that all these agencies do in keeping humanity patched up. We cannot 'see and feel' the thousands of daily heart-breaks they cope with. But this great elemental tragedy, powerfully presented through an ubiquitous press, brings home to use with some terror our common susceptibility to deep and unexpected sorrow. "We 400,000 contributors to the Community Chest. Living our more or less obscure lives, should recognize that we really belong to every one of the 150 or so Agencies. We are the life blood animating the central body, the Community Chest, of which the Agencies are so many functioning members, like hands, and arms and fingers. The Community Chest is a symbol of our civic consciousness and common humanity, a collective surplus, that each of us may add to or take from according to his individual condition under the changing tides of fortune." UNEMPLOYMENT IS INCREASING COLORED WORKERS ARE REPLACED BY WHITES THE NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE through its Department of Industrial Relations of which T. Arnold Hill is Director, reports as follows on unemployment for the month of February: "Unemployment is not merely bad for Negroes; it is critical. From all part of the country reports for February showed conditions growing worse. Not only are colored men and women not being employed, but they are being replaced by white workers. This substitution is going on in the South as well as in the North even though the jobs taken are menial and of the type that are customarily regarded Negro jobs only. "The policy of not working white and colored employees together means that today not one or several Negroes lose their jobs to white workers, but that whole shifts and entire crews of colored workers are being sacrificed to make places for white people. One city is reported to have adopted the slogan. "No Negro must have a job any white man wants." Little Rock. Arkansas illustrates this. There, two hotels turned off its bellmen and waiters; also a railroad dismissed approximately 100 shop employees; Chicago reported several instances of replacement during February. "So similar are the reports om unemployment throughout the country that it is not necessary to record the cities separately. Buffalo, with 200 families being cared for by the city, is among those feeling the situation most. Detroit appears to be suffering less from unemployment than any of the cities sending in reports. This is due to the revival of the automobile industry. Most of the colored men are hired at the Ford Plants. A loop clothing firm in Chicago hired eight salesmen who were trained by the company for the position. Six other men are in training. The St. Louis Urban League was asked to engage twenty-five women elevator operators. The firm has stipulated that they must be from "five feet, eight inches to six feet tall." The Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League has released the following on unemployment in Chicago: "Chicagoc presents a most interesting situation in unemployment. A loop clothing firm hired eight male salesmen who were trained by the company for the position. Six others are in training. But unemployment in Chicago is thought to be critical; for a large department store has cut its force of twenty-two workers to twelve. The reason for their discharge was given by the management as "experimenting," though their work was efficient and satisfactory, doubt was expressed by the store as to whether or not the remaining twelve, four maids and eight landresses, would be let out. A well established chain restaurant has dismissed its colored porters and bus boys from several of its places. A hotel formerly employing thirty-eight maids and two housemen, retained only one houseman. A promi- If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened nent hospital reduced its forces of colored malaids and employed twenty-two Polish women in their places. "Desperately pressed because of the above and other instances, Chicago is seeking to offset its losses by two innovations. A course in salesmanship whose registration at its second class reached ninety-eight, gives promise of relieving the pressure in some quarters. Several firms have promised to employ students who complete the eight weeks' course. The Masons have organized an employment committee updraft which the Grand Master of each lodge has appointed a member to serve. The committee reports its unemployed Masonic members and all jobs called to the attention of lodge members to the Urban League, which finds applicants coming from this source above the average in qualification. So successful has the experiment been that invitations are to be extended to the Eiks, the Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythians and other fraternal organizations."

One thing, however, seems certain: Whoever wins in the primary for the first time in her hitory Ohio will be represented by a black delegate or two. Cleveland Voters "Flirt With Democrats (By A. N. P.) Cleveland, Ohio, April 6—Standing firmly on both sides of the fence in the Willis-Hoover contest for the Ohio delegation to the Rebublican National Convention in June, and at the same time engaging in a bold firing with the local Democratic machine, colored citizens have about safely negotiated a three-way political split in their ranks and furnished evidence that a new deal in local politics is about to be consumed. This triangular political alignment has thrown into the immediate light three leaders: Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, representing the regular Republican organization; Attorney Alexander H. Martin, the Willis forces also, by their support of the Ohio Senate, thrown down the gumball to the Republican machine in National Committee Manrice Maschke—and Councilman Dr. R. J. Cragg, a recent convert to the party of Thomas Jefferson. While the split in the normally Republican ranks over Willis and Hoover Negroes Play Big Part in Ohio Presidential Primary Cleveland, Ohio, Mar. —The sharp battle being waged in this state by Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover and Senator Frank B. Willis, for delegates to the Republican National Convention, has produced one noticeable effect. A greater amount of consideration is being shown the Negro vote this spring than during any campaign in recent years. With the G.O.P. split asunder by the entry of Hoover against "Favorite Son" Willis, each side is making an appeal for the support of the brethren through having placed upon its ticket a colored delegate at large with an alternate. On the Hoover side Thad Brown has chosen the Reverend Curry, a Baptist minister, school bead, and editor of Springfield, who is running for delegate at large with Attorney Leroy Godman of Columbus as his alternate. Carmi Thompson, manager of the Willis campaign has selected Atty A. Lee Beatty of Cincinnati for delegate and picked his boyhood friend at frontown, Atty Alexander L. Martin of Cleveland, as alternate. Meantime, in the congressional area comprising the third Cleveland district, where most of the colored strength lies. Dr. Leroy Bundy is contesting for the honor of being district delegate with Attorney Roundtree. Opinion generally thought the cities of the state seems to give Hoover the edge, but it is conceded that the colored vote will prove a determining factor. The rather scrambled situation in which some of the leaders find themselves is due to the fact that some weeks ago the Republican State Committee endorsed Senator Willis as a favorite son. There were then no other candidates in sight, so naturally a number of the bell weathers climbed on the band wagon. For example, in Dayton, down in Montgomery County. Deputy County Treasurer Charley Price and eight other colored delegates to the state convention-were selected on a Willis platform. Later a number of big bosses such as National Committee, Maurice Maschke of Cleveland, Patterson of Dayton, and the big Taft-Hynical Crowd of Cincinnati endorsed Hoover. This seewed up the strong Cincinnati district with the exception of preinct captain Lee Beatty, who was obligated by having received an appointment as Assistant District Attorney from Willis. Editor W.P. Dabney announced that his paper was an open forum. At Columbus, the capitol city, a survey of Long Street, that hustling, bustling thoroughfare which has fairly bristled with Negro business achievements and building improvements these past five years, fiscloser a certain amount of apathy among the insurance executives, hotel owners, contractors, and financiers who infest the district. Such men as T.K. Gibson, Charles Bryant, Dr. Method, J. P. Bowles, Bob Allen, Dr. L.L. Jones, and even Tom Logan who back in Ex-Governor Harry Davis' time had charge of the colored voters' Bureau, seemed more interested in the upward trend of business than in politics. The general opinion expressed of Mr. Willis, however, described him as a regular southern Ohio back-slapping politician, with a smooth line of talk. He attends, it is said, many colored meetings, is an expert on Abraham Lincoln speeches and carries a memorandum of Negro progress which he reads at such gatherings. As Senator during his first term six or seven years ago, he appointed Hon. Alexander L. Martin as Assistant District Attorney at Cleveland. The place only paid $1,500 per year, so Mr. Martin, who has a large personal practice, soon gave it up. During his second and present term, he appointed Lee Beatty to a similar position at Cincinnati. Beatty resigned a year or more ago for the same reason. No colored man succeeded either. Both are Willis delegates by virtue of those obligations. The only other job Senator Willis is reported as having secured a membership for "Nelse" Winslow, former house servant for President Harding. His friends, however, point with pride to his activity in behalf of Walter Cohen's fight for confirmation as Collector of Port at New Orleans. These Columbus business men were inclined to contrast that record over the years with what Leroy Godman describes as "the broad gauge efficient handling of the flood situation by Herbert Hoover during the great Mississippi disaster which affect bundreds of thousands of Negroes whose best interests he was active in protecting. Toledo is all Hoover. There the urbane Clarence Vena, successful realtor and intimate associate of Walter F. Brown, political "genius" who has charge of Hoover's national campaign, holds forth. He discusses the situation clearly and dispassionately, pointing out that if Hoover splits the delegation with Willis which he avers is a certainty, it will be a Hoover victory wrested by an outsider from a state organization already pledged to Willis. Willis' strength is chiefly in the rural districts. But few colored people live on the farms. Cleveland like most of the industrial centers will go, leaders predict, for Hoover. Here the strong Cuyahoga County organization headed by, Maschke, one of whose lieutenants is Councilman Tom Fleming, is strong for the Commerce Secretary. Dr. Leroy Bundy, dentist by profession, politician by avocation, and inclination, as well as exalted ruler of the famous Cuyahoga Elka Lodge is contesting for delegate against a group of leading white men. "I am against Willis," Bundy says, "because here in a city of 300,000 with a great Negro population, he has given us no EASTER MARY JANE'S Billiken Shoes $1.25 and up Little feet should be properly cared for. Bilikens protect the arch and give the toes lots of room. Biliken shoes have genuine Spartan soles, scientifically designed. might be characterized as being inevitable, owing to the Republican organization's unexpected switch from Willis to Hoover, the flirtation with the Democrats seems deliberate and pointedly purposeful. The opening wedge for the entry of the Democratic missionaries into the ranks of the normally Republican Negro voters was driven in last fall's councilman campaign, when Dr. Gregg openly sought and secured the endorsement of the Democratic machine, while Attorney Clayborne George, who was elected to the council as an anti-organization Republican, aided the Democratic cause by attending a party caucus after refusing the invitation of Republicans to attend a similar party gathering.

O. P. Delegates Causes Pre-Convention Trouble Washington, D.C., Mar. 30 (By The Negro Associated Press) Due to the fact that Negroes hold the balance of power in several northern States, it is believed here that Secretary Gleason's letter stating that Negro delegates to the G.O.P. Convention in Kansas City would be quartered at the Y. M. C. A. instead of at the leading hotels with the whites, will be recalled. The announcement contained in Gleason's letter brought a howl of protest which the time worn explanation that it was believed that the Negro delegates would be more comfortable "with their own people" failed to shake. It was pointed out by Perry W. Howard and Ben J. Davis, national committeeman from Mississippi and Georgia, that when Kansas City was selected it has been further reported that Chairman Butler had promised to investigate the condition and make the necessary charges.

Emanating from one John Fowler, employee or the Urban League branch comes the information that there is no opposition to the re-election of the present Assemblyman from the 74th District. This being so, we rise to a "query"—"Why should he worry." Then if he is just going to worry, anyhow, we would suggest that he get out from the Urban League headquarters and hire a political headquarters. For surely it doesn't look right for an institution which is supported by the "Community Chest"-(which all of us get in and work for) to be turned into a political clearing house either for or against anybody who perchance—as is their right—aspire for political preferment. Bess must be cutting a swath somewhere in the district which he aspires to represent, because of the fact one of his competitors in the printing business on refusing to sign up for him said that he would vote for a "yeller dog" first. While the remark is permissable, it, at the same time, shows up an opposition which is vulnerable Mrs. BELLE O'NEAL 1552 East 52nd Street DEAR FRIEND:—This letter is to in care of a physician, as a result of a str THE Assuring you that I will give you Respectfully your MRS.

Mayor James Rolph, Jr. registering Democratic to vote for Al Smith at least justifies E. T. Hubbard for doing likewise, but gee! how the smiles are just now radiating the face of E. T. Hubbard. The District Attorney contest looms up as one of the outstanding events along political lines for the coming fall primaries and election. Don't forget however, that the Supervisor Contest in all three districts will be a feature worth while and good men must be chosen. We look for the Hon. Jack Bean to show the way. SUCH RUDE GUESTS THESE WERE New Orleans, La., Mar. 30 (By The Associated Negro Press) When a dance broke up at the home of Eugene Brown early Sunday morning, and all all had departed, it was discovered by the host that a valuable phonograph was missing. Later Archie Reynolds and Charles Parker, guest and the "life of the party" were arrested when police found the missing phon- ograph in their possession. Eugene says he is glad he did not own a piano as they might have taken that, too. EAL, Music Teacher Street, Los Angeles, Calif., Sept. 24, 1927. To inform you that after being under the street car accident, I am able and ready to resume my piano class again. As you no doubt know, I have been teaching the piano in Los Angeles for ten years. During this time, my pupils, and recitals, that I have given, have received the highest commendation. It is my intention to give my pupils the full benefit of my experience and training. I shall continue to have regular public and private recitals. My method of teaching will enable young or old to learn thoroughly and rapidly. Those who know me, know a conscientious teacher.

Emanuel accepted by telegraph and leaves San Francisco for Los Angeles Wednesday. Following the contest, the former Olympic club star will go east with Jack Dempsey. Sports on the part of Monarch club promoters to match Armaud Emanuel Jewish light heavyweight, with Mike McTigue ended in failure Tuesday when Emanuel sent word that a Los Angeles bout would prohibit an appearance here April 16th. The Newsboy Brown-Speedy Dado championship contest was postponed until April 24, due to the Filipino youngster throwing out his shoulder in a workout. Matchmaker Hayden Wadhams signed Huerta Evans and Trip Limbaco for next week's six-round semi-windup. It will mark the bantam weights' third meeting.

Tia Juana Races Closed Sunday The Tia Juana races closed Sunday and horses and officials are headed East. The feature race of the day and one of the season's large stake events, the Futurity, was run off in perfect order. Spooky, a 2-year-old filly, owned by W. A. ("Bill") Porter, ran to win the race by herself. She was three lengths in front of Listo of the Ham Cotton stable, who ran a good second. Lady Va Va was third. Time for the five-furlong dash was 1:00 3:5. That can be considered fairly fast. Yesterday's end marked the 115th day of the meet at Tia Juana this last season, which started on Thanksgiving day last. LOS ANGELES TIGERS IN TRAINING The L. A.

"Uncle Tom,' from Harriet Beecher Stowers classic, is perhaps a little too harrwing, but it is vitally thrilling, and never lacks a sense of proportion. "Uncle Tom, played by James B. Lowe, the Negro actor is one of the finest characterizations of the kinema. Lowe lives the part and is thoroughly convincing. GIRL- ETICS by: GLADYS MA- THONICAN Again the girls are alight with eager enthusiasm in athletics. No longer do they sit 'housed up' with hands folded, dreaming, but they are alive and ever out-of-doors seeking entertainment in happiness through open air activities. More and more they are realizing the great importance of attaining and maintaining good health, finding that the only manner through which this may be accomplished is the participation in a sufficient amount of athletics. Gold seems to attract so many of the girls and women and every day is growing in its chorus for both. Swimming is a sport participated in by many. DANCING EASIEST EXERCISE Or all exercise dancing is undoubtedly the easiest to become interested in and to follow without forcing one's self to do so. Dancing is pleasurable due to the music to which it is done leading the body into the rythmn and poetry of motion which lies inherent in everyone. "Rhythm is one of the most difficult of the many things to be learned by the dancer student and the one which will eventually determine his success," states Theodore Kosloff, famous ballet master, in discussing the fundamentals of artistic dancing.

W.—I regret to inform you that if you should join our fraternity, we cannot accommodate you by accords ing you the privilege of using our own tennis court. We have no court now. The court which we formerly used was constructed on a leased lot by our fraternity. The lease expired and could not be renewed on account of the owner's desire to build on his lot. However, our fraternity is planning to build a new tennis court in the near future. At the present most of our players use the municipal courts which are very numerous thru- out the city. B. J.—According to your letter, I would suggest that you play a fast, hard game of tennis twice a week. It would also be a good idea to never make your games over two hours in duration. If you follow the above, brief, simple rules, I will wager you that you will reduce fifteen pounds in one month. All questions for this column must be sent to writer at 1401 E. 56th St. by Monday evening of each week, if they are to be answered in that week's issue. Sinclair Sells Horses Barred Account of Teapot Dome Philadelphia.—The great racing stable of Harry F.inclair, oil magnate, has been purchased by James Irwin, local Republican politician and contractor. Reports that Sinclair contemplated selling his table had been current in racing circles since his horses were barred from Maryland tracks by the racing commission of that state because of his connection with the Teapot Dome oil investigation. Many of the horses in his Rancocas stable had been entered in the Maryland spring meets prior to the ban. Art for art's sake, or talent for talent's sake. These little sayings above quoted can easily be ascribed to these church concerts. In the theatrical world proper, we have our theatres of the Pot Boilers' etc., where the aspiring amateur may have occasion to air his developing historic capabilities. But, among our group we have no such theatres, hence the church affords the only real opportunity for the budding performer to get his chance before a serious minded audience. Monday evening, April 2nd, the writer was invited to attend one of these high-class presentations at the 1st A. M. E. Church, 8th and Towne Ave. It was more than worth the time spent; let alone the price of admission, which was saved. From the beginning to the end the program was immense. As much as I would like time and space will not permit any description of each presentation, but a few can be mentioned. The Choir and their eminent director Prof. Elmer C. Bartlett live up to all the praises they have gained. Prof. Bartlett's handling of the battles during the presentation of "Music in the Mines," a very difficult number, was done with the stroke of a master. The chorus "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho," led by Mr. Edward Jackson, was touching, and well received. The Planologue—"Rags"—by Mrs. A. C. Bilbrow, sung in her own plaintive style, wore deafening applause. The play 'Never Again' by Zenobia Baskins, was quite clever—a good clean story of a mistrusting wife and a neighborhood gossip. The reading or monologue by Bernice Love Wiggins has them laughing yet. THE COMMENTATOR MILDRED WASHINGTON AND CREOLE CHORUS TOP BILL Mildred Washington, rapid ascending local star, tops a very high class bill at the Lincoln this week and next. This week marking the third minus the Doc Straine Co. played the biggest house since they left. This evidently speaks loud for Miss Washington as a box office attraction. The dainty Creole Chorus is really hot. Red hot dancers and quite cute Flora. Washington was fair as the scolist. Mildred's acts however, were just a wee bit overdone. Her arrangements, giving her sister Flora the breaks were bad. Here she allowed her clever chorus to be covered from the view of the audience in order that sister might be seen. The other acts, in addition to the Mosby's Dixieland Blue Blowers, were scorching. The Munsey Bros. skating act was thrilling and keen. Another clever number that drew a tremendous hand was that of Olives and Lee, clever ballet dancers. These two did a 'ruff stuff' skit, that won't quit. This Draper and stuff Dufft act; on the strand at Palm Beach, another tight number. This old boy Duffn really got away with his harmonica. These acts and the others each received heavy hands. Sounded like they were encoring Bilo. The acts are getting hotter and hotter. Yes, so long as they continue in this manner, the crowds will get bigger and bigger. Almost forgot Sam Harris and Sam Marmillion, those classy hoofing Sams. SCREEN REGULAR TROOPERS GET BREAK After being conspicuously prominent among those other actors of the legitimate stage, along poverty row, a few of the screen players got a break this week. Well, they certainly needed. Are they thankful? Ask Central, they they can't appreciate it. Too bad, it seems among those fortunate ones were: Elynolda, John Turner, Floyd Shackleford, Virgile Owens, Chas Moore and Heencer Bell.

ALL SEATS 65 CENTS BY: LAWRENCE F. LaMAR That's hard language, to use in connection with a two million dollar picture, but what's to do with history? You said it! not a thing. One thing, it might assure the public that the photoplay will be perfect, and other small incidentals will be jam up and that's about all. Colored people throughout the world with thousands of loyal descendants of those brave northerners who fought that the blemish of slavery would be wiped from this noble continent, have awaited this picturization of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." One who has seen the picture story and the incidental features background, etc., can readily visualize the keen disappointments of those people. The picture is nothing but a series of compromises and indictments of the American people. Why, it was made, especially in the manner filmed, I cannot see. It doesn't do the black man any good. The Southerner nor the American public. How, if ever, it can gain an appreciable sale, in the South, East North or West, or among black people will always remain a mystery. In the first place the American public generally is indicted. The next the Southerners' brutality is mildly insinuated; and finally, the Negro is forcefully reminded of his inferiority. The Director, Pollard, a Southerner, is extremely careful that the public does not see the South as the main cause of the slave problem, but indicates the whole nation through skillful manipulation. Shouldn't the Northerner get sore here? He never shows the Southern armies retreating before the Northern advance. Evidently afraid of offending the South. Well, who's to be the goat in this picture? Ha, that's a funny question. Why, the Negro! In good old Southern stories, told by the most rabid Southernner, "Uncle Tons" and "Mammies" are extolled to the highest. Here this quality in the slave is sadly diminished, it doesn't appear. The BY: LAWRENCE F. LAMAR REFEREE WINS COAST INTER- COLLEGIATE TILT OVER NEWELL EASON Newell Eason, flushy U. C., L. A. featherweight boxing champion, after romping through handily in the pre- liminaries lost a questionable decision to a University of Washington boxer. This bout was to decide the Coast 125-pound championship, and was originally scheduled for three rounds; four however, were neces- sary to decide the winner. The first two Eason took by a wide margin: the third went to the opponent by an edge. Why, at this point the judges decided on the extra round is what is perplexing the coaches and student body out at the branch. Pretty hard to swallow, Eason, old boy; but keep quiet, don't let 'em hear whimper. Men cry; yellow, dogs whimper. Atta boy, you can't lose that a-away. Tommy Miles again romps home to victory. This time making it two first places, century and furlong respectively. The University of Arizona sprinters didn't have a chance against the fleet footed Tomy. Jas.
