FOR BOULDER DAM Resolution on Boulder Dam Adopted by National Negro Press Association WHEREAS, the Imperial Valley of California, comprising over 450,000 acres of very fertile soil, and raising yearly over 450,000,000 of diversified crops, is threatened annually by the unrestrained flood waters of the Colorado River, and WHEREAS, a number of cities along the coastal plain in Southern California, including Los Angeles, all situated in a semi-arid area of the Southeastern part of the United States, are faced with the absolute necessity of obtaining an additional domestic water supply which may be obtained only from the Colorado River, and WHEREAS, the above mentioned purposes may be realized only when and if there is constructed a high dam in Boulder Canyon on the Colorado River, and WHEREAS, there is now pending before Congress a Bill known as the Boulder Canyon Project Act, providing for the construction of a Dam which will accomplish all of these purposes, and WHEREAS, the construction of this Project by the Federal Government will in addition to accomplish the above named purposes, accomplish many other beneficent purposes and contribute to the building up of a national wealth, and WHEREAS, under the provisions of the Bill the Secretary of the Interior is required to obtain contracts from responsible agencies for the use of the water stored in the Reservoir for water and power development purposes before any money is to be spent, under conditions that will return the money to the Federal Government with 4% interest, making the Project therefore pre-financed and to be paid for by the communities benefitted. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That this National Negro Press Association, in Annual Convention assembled, on this 12th day of April, 1928, endorses the legislation now before Congress known as the Boulder Canyon Project Act, and urge its immediate passage. GETS $2,500 FOR HUSBAND'S DEATH (By: A. N. P. Mardien, Miss., Apr. 20.—A jury in the circuit court has returned a verdict: awarding Harriet Square $2, 500 in her suit against the New Orleans & Northeastern Railroad Company for the death of her husband "Doc" Square. It was alleged that the man lost his life as the result of injuries sustained when he fell in belag forced off a train by employees of the company. The widow sued for twenty-five thousand dollars, but the jury cut the deman. (BY: THE EDITOR) Leaving El Paso we leave Texas again and go back into New Mexico, some time during the night we cross the pan handle in Texas again and wake up in the morning on the breezy plains of Kansas the state were we were reared Now just as we write these lines we are in receipt of a pressing invitation from the dining crew of this palatial train to be their guest at dinner, and we have accepted and for that reason will suspend the writing of this narrative. "On the Wing" until after dinner time. We are pleased at this point to resume our story after partaking from Stewart E. J. Thompson and his crew composed of chef H. Pecot; Cooke: McDavis, L. Tavis and Karl Johnson; Writers: W. Bettowt, R. J. Williams, Phil Roberson, Joseph Tucker, Edgar Brown, Hernan Foots, Clinton Hunter and the peerless club car porter L. J. Morris, one of the finest meals which we have ever enjoyed at any time or place. We appreciate this courtesy to our calling very highly and will always maintain a warm spot in our heart for the very splendid men who go to make up this worthwhile crew. Bear in mind while this was all going on we were still on our way. We had reached out of New Mexico again and ran into the Texas Panhandle, where we encountered a terrific snow storm which lasted throughout the night, winging back into Kansas, we again encountered sunshine not unlike our own in California. However, we were told the sunshine and temperature failed to match up and as a matter of fact the thermometer on the outside was hovering way down below the freezing point. At any rate as we write we are swiftly moving along over the breezy plains or Kansas. We are now nearing our home, or boyhood days, at Topeka, where our train will only stop for a few moments. We have wired one or two near friends that we are coming through, they will be there and others, and we will, of course, agree to a stop on our return home and no doubt the fatted calf will be ours. We are glad that as years go by we have kept in touch with the "back home folks," or there is consolation and satisfaction that one has so lived that friends of a half century are glad and happy to greet you. (Continued on Page Six) Appointed Supervisor of Demonstration Work (By: A. N. P. Little Rocf, Ark., Apr. 20.—Mrs. Jennie Lou Woodard, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, and of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo., has been appointed supervision of home demonstration work in Arkansas. What we've all been looking and waiting for—the Kiddies' Minaret! Each year it has proven to be a wonderful affair, but this year, oh boy, it will be far beyond our wildest imaginations. A big time is assured all who attend, and who wouldn't, because with the efficient Mrs. Lauretta Butler as the directress it is a known fact that it will be really worth while. And remember—it's Monday evening, May 7th at the Philharmonic Auditorium. Pressive Association Presen --- MUNICIPAL AIRPORTS FOR LOS ANGELES NECESSARY TO CITY'S INDUSTRIAL GROWTH An intensive campaign is being conducted by citizena committees and civic organizations in every section of the city in support of the $6,000,000 bond issue to establish three municipal airports to be voted on at the May 1 primary. The urgent need of these airports is emphasized in the following statement given by George L. Eastman, president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. "The board of directors of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce is urging the citizens and business interests of Los Angeles to vote for the airport bonds at the May primaries. "This election marks the turning point in the forward progress of Los Angeles in more ways than one, but particularly in air transportation and the manufacture of aircraft. "Los Angeles is the largest in point of area of any city in the world; and there are greater commercial air activities here than in any city in the world. Consequently, the need for three airports is apparent and must be held if we desire to place Los Angeles in front rank in this great industry. "Vail Field, already proven as a splendid commercial airport, wil become the union station of the air for Los Angeles for mail, express and certain lines of passenger service. To concentrate all commercial air activities on Vail Field would be unthinkable, as its area is totally inadequate. It facilities will be taxed when all the regular airlines are put in operation to and from it. "As an example of the possibilities of the aircraft industry, if Los Angeles can secure the Goodyear Zeppelin plant it will mean an investment of probably $5,000,000 and the employment of approximately 2000 men. "Municipal airports can be made to pay. Authority for this statement is W. E. La Follette, for eleven years actively engaged in managing airports. He states that Oakland's airport is already paying 6 per cent on the original investment, besides the large payroll circulated in that community by the aircraft industry centering about it. "Just as there were a few in those days, due to lack of adequate vision, that tried to block the building of harbor, and today that harbor brings to the community over $100,000,000 yearly in business from foreign lands alone, and its total value to the Southwest is beyond estimate, just so there are today a few who fail to grasp the possibilities of the future of air commerce. "But just as the city, a few years ago became seaminded and built a great world port, so today it must turn its gaze skyward and become air-minded." ton Street Station SELF INFLICTED FLESH WOUND MISTAKEN FOR GUN WOUND In a 'desperate attempt to escape the clutches of the law during a house raid, James Brown, member of a wild pre-Easter house party at 738 E. 24th street jumped through the . kitchen window cutting his shoulder. Lieutenant Nolan and other members of the Vice Squad gave chase. In their effort to cause Brown to halt several shots were fired into the ground. Brown ran on until, bleed- ing and exhausted, he was captured by the officers. It was thought at first that one of the bullets fired into the ground had . deflected and . struck Brown. He was rushed to the . Receiving hospital where it was found to be a glass wound. Lieutenant Helen is quoted as saying that his men are not in the habit of shooting at persons as a passime. VIEWING THE VALLEY TRUCK PARMS Sunny morning, bright and early, the Eagle Party pruned it's wing for a flight into that region known as the Valley Truck Farms. For many weeks the enthusiasm manifested by Mrs. Clara Hulbert, representative promoter of this new opportunity for owning homes and even small farms open to the members of her group, had so infected all who had come in contact with her; that even at 5 A. M. that keen eyed bird, reputed for its vision, soared forth and this is what it saw. Two miles north east of San Bernardino, the congestion of city dwellings dropped away and there opened up level valley, dotted here and there with farm houses and aberra land under cultivation. Growers were offered welcome retreat to the passerby from the warm side of the sun. (Continued on Page Six) ANNUAL STATEMENT TO THE COUNTRY BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASS'N. (By: A. N. P.) Louisville, Ky., Apr. 14.—"We, the members of the National Negro Press Association, in convention assembled, submit the following as our expression to the country, on matters relating to the Negro and to the progress of the country in general: 1. We record the remarkable progress which has been made by the Negro press in all sections of the country, both in the technical make-up of the Negro papers and the virility of their editorial policy. More and more the Negro press is regarded as the accepted barometer of Negro opinion and definite influence in Negro life. 2. We report, our greatest appreciation to Secretary Herbert Hoover for his unfinishing courage in handling Negro refugees in the flood disaster, and his most recent demonstration of genuine Americanism in abolishing segregation in his department, and we call upon the President of the United States to follow the precedent set by Secretary Hoover and issue an executive order, abolishing segregation in all of the departments and bureaus of our federal government at Washington. 3. We view with alarm the recurrence of the Lily White Movement which strikes at the fundamental principles of the Republican Party and call upon all patriotic Americans of both races to stamp it out. 4. The unemployment of millions of Americans calls for the sober reflection and the earnest co-operation of all Americans. We record our alarm at sentiment which expresses itself in the program of the "Negro last on and first off," in our economic structure we believe that Negro labor of all groups in the country can least afford to be laid off and we cannot help but feel that there is something altogether similar in the ratio proportionate number of Negroes who are denied employment, thereby keeping them on the precipice of economic starvation. (Continued on Page Six) ROBBERY BRINGS ON ILLNESS Some sneak thief took advantage of the family's absence to break into the home of Miss Elsie Grass at 1458 East, 42nd street, and rob her, a week ago last Friday. The shock, added to the fact that her mother had just been called to New Orleans, to the bedside of Miss Grass dying grandmother, brought on an illness that confined Miss Grass to her bed under a doctor's care for a week. However, she is now back at her job, cheerfully rendering service to patrons of the Yellow Cab Company at their Central Ave. Branch in Moseby's Music Store. REV. A. P. SHAW'S BOOK ON RACE RELATIONS JUST OFF PRESS Rev. A. P. Shaw's book of nearly a hundred pages is just off the press and is on sale at all of the Drug Stores, and many of the Churches this Sunday. Those who have read it testify that it is worth many times the price of $1.00 for cloth bound copies and $0c for delicate paper bound copies. Buy a copy and you will what many others to send to your friends. April 27th, 8:15 P. M., Sec. L. A. Honored With Great Musical Genii Los Angeles is being highly honored next week by the presence of two artists of the musical world—Paderewski the world's finest pianist, appearing in two recitals at Philharmonic Auditorium and Carl Diton, the foremost pianist of our race who will be heard April 27th at 2nd Baptist Church. No doubt Philharmonic will be packed at each performance, and how!—grand it will be to so honor CARL DITON an artist of our race at his first appearance in the city. So seldom do artists of the Race appear in the fare West in Recitals that we find ourselves lacking that appreciation and support accorded one of such eminence as Mr. Diton. The Los Angeles Music Association is to be commended for arranging this great musical event of the year, and it is hoped that our music lovers will cope with the large Eastern cities by bringing each year such famous artists making our city the national Negro Music Association of which Mr. Diton is a charter member is indeed honored to have him as their president now serving his 2nd term and no double his coming to Los Angeles will be an incentive to the local association in putting over big things in the future. LAURA E. SMITHERMAN. NEGRO RACEHORSE MAN GOING EAST Mr. J. Gould, the colored racehorse sport, spent the winter at Tia Juana battling with the ponies. He is now in Elsinore, where he has been for the past two weks taking sulphur baths. While there he is stopping at Coleman De Luxe Hotel. The first of next week, he will leave for the East to be in Chicago for the race season which opens May 1st. He sends regards to Reese DuPree and all of his friends. MISTAKEN IDENTITY Miss Thelma Bernita Portor, book keeper at the "California Eagle" of fice, is not the Thelma Porter who sailed for Honolulu last week. NEW YORK draws neither race, age nor sex lines; a twenty year old Italian girl has been made an assistant Attorney General for the State. Who said woman was not man's superior? EDITOR J. B. BASS of the "Soaring Eagle" was again honored with the office of 1st Vice-President of the National Negro Press Association which met at Louisville, Kentucky, last week. PROF. MOERNS. Dutch Scientist, who will be remembered by many Angelenos as a Los Angeles visitor some years ago, has written some interesting bits of his experiences in the United States; tells how, while in this city at a high school dance, he was elected from the same because he insisted upon dancing with a Colored girl. "In the cities of New York and Washington," says the scientist, "I was compelled to move from place to place because I insisted upon receiving Colored people as my friends and often I was forced to ride with them in going up to my apartment on the garbage can elevator, the main elevator being used for white folks and does." Prof. Moerns also states that he was always received as a brother in the Colored church, but found that in white churches, brotherhood meant white brothers only. He said that he was told that the Negroes of the South lived like pigs in a pen, but found that they lived better and possessed greater culture than the white who so classified them. "When a race thinks itself superior, it should make other races look up to it, but it should never demean its principles by looking down upon the others. The present conditions among the white show that a superior race still has to be developed," says Prof. Moerns. IMMENSE buildings are sometimes condemned on account of faulty construction, torn down and rebuilt to meet the building demands of the city. This causes us to think of some of the lines in Longfellow's beautiful poem, "Building of the Ship," when he said: "Build me straight, O mighty Master Stauach and strong a goodly vessel. That shall laugh at all disaster. And with wave and whirlwind wrestle" Organizations are buildings of vastly greater importance to mankind than the structures in which the records and seals of the City and State are housed. Men are writing on topics such as—"The Negro Church—What Alls It?"; "The Evils in the Church and Other Organizations"; "What Shall We Do to Redeem Ourselfs From the Present Social Evils," etc. These are perplexing questions, but they must be answered sooner or later. Some criticisms, seemingly destructive, are in the end or after the final analysis, constructive, in that they tear down in order that they may build, according to the Divine Law, which says that men should build a stony foundation in order that their structures, referring to the spiritual, may not be wrecked by winds and waves. Organizations are not for the purpose of serving the present generation. Men live and build that others may live and finish the work started by them after they shall have passed to the great beyond. It must be admitted that there is a rapidly spreading disease in our church and other organizations of to (Continued on Page 6x) Sa Tp Pera NO SH FLY URSIN TA 2 OSE PES Se MR meee SR eR Seger sy on ea eee Ie ego Nn aE |g, Sion eee Ne ener ere ee Pane are oe Cece Rac emer a Ue Pe Tee ere eterno var ter ecu chy e Rpee CN Sn een Oe AE aR Se eee ea td a Seng TE So ANGE a ee eegeoee ae Ete HC eam ce RIVE APM oan a Minutes gee NO Get yoke A Bes ae a os aes or ee eee ESL he RRM Iie porate Molial deat cool PabieGech.!,. st | shells SR Oe eG i ORES: Ee) aN th VALE aoa? ae LEARY Sa ae HE its ved amen, TAOS ERR Rs BRL eet a a es ae he toa?

When official figures for the first and second quarters of 1928 are made public they will show that sales will have been equal, if not considerably in excess of, any corres ‘ponding period in the history of the industry. New cars contitue to be thro. ; to the market. Prices, if cnanhee all, are reduced, which medns:a tight- ening up of competition to a point never before experienced, Before sailing for Europe a few ‘days ago, Henry Ford announced that nO more changes were contemplated in his new Model A line, and added that his thirty-four plants in the United tates wil be in operation and on mass production early in June. This, he said, would mean a daily out- put of 000 units. The present daily output is said to be hovering around the 1500 mark. Ford now has fifteen assembly plants in operation, and Memphis, St. Louis and Buffalo plants will be opened within the next week or two, according to official statement. The Willys-Knight standard six line of cars, on the market only since the first of the present yeag, were fhis me reduced in prices, the cur being 150. Dodge Brothers, Detroit plant _re- ports a rapid increase in production. with a present output of 1000 cars per day. ‘The labor barometer continues to show daily and weekly increases. Last week there was added to the pay rolls an additional 2300 which brought the total up to 245,716. For the cor- responding week of 1927 the number was 226,308, or 19,408 less than at the eunanack diets: Few car owners realize the full value of a “tune-up” of the motor or how nich work goes into it. A good tune-up includes cleaning the engine, yacunm tank, carburetor ‘and spark plugs, and adjusting the gaps of the plugs. The tarpets of the valves ate adjusted. distributor cleaned, contact Points adjusted and cleaned, camshatt adjusted, and timing checked. The flat rate for these operations has been reduced 5 per cent with the past year. _ GAS TAX AVERAGED According to figures recently com: piled the average gas tax for forty-six States is 3.24 cents per gallon, reports the toring bureau of the. Automobile Club of Southern California. The “no smoking” ordinance in San Bernardino county, which prohibits smoking on the highways or at any place except in established camps, takes effect May 1, according to the tourist bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California, DEL SUR FLOWERS QUT Poppies and wild flowers are now in fall bloom in the vientty of Del Sur in Palmdate district, states a report to the Automobile Club of Southern Call- fornia touring bureau. | a ‘The route to ahd-trom Los Argeles and the Ban Joaquin Valley, over Ridge Route was-only closed for one week after the ilisaster caused by Bt Francis Dem break. ‘Cars and stages have been going through without any interruption and there is no meed for # motorist com suming any more time in making the trip through now than there was be fore. ‘The Crescent City-Grants Pass road is reported washed out at @ point six miles east of Gasquet.

L., Mrs. Mae Reese Johnson, were very proud of her success as she placed hefore them a dright group of contestants for the second silver medal in Ly T. L. ofa- torical contest at Colored M. & Church, Glorietta street and Kirkwood avenue, last Sunday afternoon. The Stato LT. L. secretary, Mrs. L. C. Yeoman, Rev. L. C. Yeoman, as: sistant state L, T. L. secretary, Miss Zora Glassey, and other : Glendale friends were very enthusiastic specta- tors of the yonthful temperance dem- ‘onstration in this organization of but a few monthe, numbering 60 children. So Interested were they in all they saw and heard, Miss Glassey offered her srevices every Tuesday afternoon. Her work will prove a valuable afd in this field of labor, ripe for a fruitful harvest, and was welcome'hews. Fur- ther encouragement was gfven the faithful leader, Mrs. Johnson, who had expressed a desire to give every child something for Christmas, when the state secretary, Mrs, Yeoman, and as- sistant. Miss Glaey, aid they wished to present L. T. L. badges of member- khip to every child in the organizi- tion as @ Christmas remembrance. Broader Field Hinted A broader field than this commun- ity offers for ome of Mrs. Johnson's ability and experience was suggested as a possible future for tbe Pasadena leader of her ‘people in temperance and social service department under W. C, T. U. state auspices, as Mrs. Yeoman warmly ‘commended the growing work. Just one expreysion of Mrs. John- son's explains the “why” of this raph growth when shé.sald? “I have been #0 interested in’ thfs work today 1 haven't any desire to eat,” and Rev. Mr. Yeoman repited, “Because you are filled with glory... No wonder greryone was happy, and furthermore the Negro spiritual melo- dies, led by the older people, who sang them in the Body. passing them down to future géflérations in mem- ory-of these deeply emotional people, added testimony that they were filled with the glory that Mrs. Johnson felt as her plans progressed. Then there washer assistant, one of the church, ever feady to help, Mrs. A. B, Morgag, assistant director L. T. L., and her enthustastic churcb friends, Pastor Rev. G. L. Hayes, Mrs. D. W.

The quartet boarded the train in the depot in a pretense as saying good-bye to friends on the train. The observation porter and brakeman were the only members of the train crew on the observation car, the car was filled with passengers and they were lined up against the walls and relieved of their money and jewelry, none of the passengers ahead of the Diner in the pullmans were molested. MISSOURI-PACIFIC NOW CON-TROLS TEXAS R. R. With the purchase of $30,000 additional shares of Texas and Pacific common stock, the Missouri Pacific owned 189,600 shares, or 46.3 per cent of the outstanding stock of the road at the close of 1927 it is reported. Together with its holdings of all the preferred stock, the Missouri-Pacific owns 66.7 per cent of the outstanding capital stock of the Texas and Pacific. ON HIS BACK Editor Vann of the Pittsburgh Courier in a long rambling article called "An Open letter to the Pullman Porters and Maids" uses a great many words to vilify Mr. Randolph to create the impression that Mr. Randolph is selfishly seeking to serve his own interests and is not striving to erve the best interests of the Brotherhood. Not one word of proof does Mr. Vann give against the loyalty of Mr. Randolph to cut-balance the two and one-half years of unswerving devotion which Mr. Randolph has given to prove it. Mr. Vann cleverly tries to give out the impression that the Pullman Company will recognize the Brotherhood if Mr. Randolph will step aside, at that he does not say that they will. If Mr. Randolph were to step aside the Pullman Company would concentrate all of its ecorts to kill the organization and without the able and honest leadership of Mr. Randolph it would probably succeed. It looks to me like the "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" and there is no better time for the Porters and Maids to learn to distinguish between the "Hand of Esau" and the Voice of Jacob" than at the present time. By all means hold the ground you have gained by two and one-half years of hard fighting, and do not sell your, birthright for a mess of pottage. Buckle down to your job harder than ever, tighten the bonds of solidarity and press on to victory. SANTA FE'S YEAR TO BE GOOD According to reports from local offices of this great system, opinion is expressed that the last half of 1928 will bring the business and earnings of the Santa Fe up to or close to those of 1927, in spite of the decrease for the first three months of 1928. An unusual amount of passenger equipment is already the big tourist rush that is enjoyed by this road each year. RADIO ARTIST IN CITY Joseph S. Thomas (Ukulele Joe). Radio Artist of Station W. O. W. also culinary expert of the private car of President Carl Gray of the Union Pacific, arrived in the city Monday, immediately upon his arrival he was besieged with many requests by the local broadcasting stations to get on the air, after much persuasion Joe appeared Tuesday at 3 o'clock on Station K. F. I. with his special request number "Ukulele Joe's Circus Parade" dedicated to all kiddies and mothers. Mr. Thomas is without a reasonable doubt a typical example of efficiency in this line and it is with regret that his trips to the Angel City are so far apart. He left Friday night for his headquarters, Ojaha, where he appears regularly over station W. O. W. WHEN CENSURE IS HARSH, HEED IT You know you need criticism in your work, so you seek it. To whom do you go for advice? Do you shrink from adverse criticism about the matter than you do? Or do you do to one who maintains a high standard in your line and whom you know to be fearless in expressing his or her opinion. Do you shrink fro madverse criticism? Do you intend to get what you want—that, compliments—or do you intend to get what you need, a knowledge of your shortcomings? You are rather sensitive—harsh criticism hurts deeply. It is a surgeon's knife to you, to have a blunt expression of distaste or disapproval, from your associates. And yet you are falling down. You sense it and cannot get at the reason. Then put your pride away, find the one whom you know to be the most critical and hard to please, and get at the heart of your failure. Don't resent an opinion expressed against you till you have thought it over carefully, to see if it can't help you. HERE AND THERE R. Bridges of Denver, one of our popular Gold Coast Limited managed to venture as far East as to encounter some of the boys and reports conditions on his line.

One year today You were stolen away By a man for this crime must pay. The children ask about you. And we know not what to do Because we always think of you. Some day when Jesus calls the roll Well know why God claimed your sweet soul, And you had to enter into the fold. Some day we will sit; at Jesus' feet, and songs of praise repeat. Some day sweetheart there we will meet. And man must repent for his part.

Following the sermon the crowd repaired to the grounds for the occasion of ground breaking which was participated in by practically all present all of whom placed their donation in the not. The day being far spent only a little time elapsed before the hour for B. Y. P. U. at which service Mrs. E. O. Solomon addressed the capacity house. The evening service followed immediately with Rev. L. M. Curtis of Watts Macedonia Baptist Church preaching. The sermon by Rev. Curtis was a masterpiece dealing with the friendship of Abraham and Jesus, and indeed had not trouble in captivating his bearers. The result of the rally exceeded all guineine expectations especially from such a small group of people. It can be truthfully said that through the efforts of Rev. W. R. Carter, who so tactfully arranged the routine of the work, taking plans all of which were co-operated by the entire membership and especially with the assistance of the pastor and J. H.

Some residents evidently do not realize to how great an extent they are hurting home trade by occasionally ordering goods from mail order houses, judging from remarks that have been made since the Chamber of Commerce started the campaign against out-of-town trading. "What difference does it make," one resident remarked, "if I send a few dollars to mail order houses every now and then?" Were her particular case the only one of its nature in the city, it would make but little difference, but individual cases in the aggregate do make a great deal of difference. She is only one of hundreds who are doing the same thing she is doing, and, added together, the amounts have been estimated to run into thousands of dollars each month. It is the small buyers that keep the mail order houses going. While we have no way of knowing what the mail orders average in any particular house, yet it is safe to say that the sum is only a few dollars. The $2.98 you send away today is not much in itself, but when it is pooled with hundreds of other amounts it makes a substantial sum. That $2.98, or 69 cents, or however small the amount may be, is a very important matter in every mail order house. The small sums form by far the greatest part of the millions of dollars of mail order business done in this country every years. So spend your $2.98's with local merchants. If you do that, you will not only be helping them and your city, but will also be helping yourself by keeping more money in circulation here. If you spend your $2.98 here, you stand a chance of getting a part of it back some day, but if you send it away the entire sum is taken out of local circulation. In its campaign against out-of-town buying, the Chamber of Commerce has called on local merchants to advertise their goods more extensively, so that the purchasing public in Los Angeles will be in a better position to buy at home.

When advertis Advertising has proven itself to be the barometer of progress. It has not been long since business advertising was as severely criticised and ridiculed as boasting of personal qualifications. At the same time there was as little faith in the claims of advertisements as in the braggart. Only the quick and the imposter, who had everything to gain and nothing to lose, then resorted to advertising. Business is ever the standard bearer and apostle of progress, and so it was business which discovered that advertising was a vital factor in all growth. When advertising was admitted to the fireside of business it was not the big business of today. Big business traces its beginning with its employment of advertising. In its conversion to advertising business was soon followed by industry, commerce and the professions. The benefits of advertising had made themselves manifest in each step forward. That was the evolution of advertising, until today advertising plays a part in every phase of life and is the working instrument of all except the doctor and the lawyer, who still consider it "unethical" to advertise for business. He may place his "card" in the newspaper, but it is professionally forbidden for the doctor or the lawyer to inform the public of his capabilities. Nothing in life has attained perfection and evolution as an eternal, ever-continuing advancement. The evolution of advertising will not stop with its adoption by medicine and jurisprudence, but that adoption will establish another milestone of If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened BY: W. J. WHEATON The San Francisco "Bridge-the-Bay" delegation went to Washington to solicit Federal aid, or Congressional sanction for the building of a bridge across San Francisco Bay, has returned and is optimistic concerning the outlook. The war and navy officials have been consistently blocked every move to connect the Bay Cities by the erection of a bridge at a certain point North of Hunters point. The Supervisorial Committee went to strengthen the contents of Senator Hiram Johnson and Congressman Welch who had introduced resolution to authorize the authority be given for the erection of a bridge structure from points in Alameda and San Francisco counties selected by the expert engineers who were chosen to make a survey. Press reports are that the Senate Committee before which the hearings were well attended gave the most favorable attitude, said attitude largely the result of the fight made by Senator Johnson which greatly discomfitted and disconcerted the arguments advanced by the expert representatives of army and navy. Mayor James Rolph and Judge Mull Sullivan in the fight and were instrumental in the success and figures which squashed the contents of the bridge opponents. In Sylvia Pankhurst, the noirous suffrager leader of England, a type of the woman who is "destined to rule the world?" Miss Pankhurst advertised in the London Daily Herald that she had a baby. The fact that Miss Pankhurst had*a* baby and that there was no Mr. called for a little explanation, so she gave it out that the father of her baby is her "husband, though not married." The mother had for ten years, from whom she had loved for ten years, She would not give his name because he has a very retiring disposition and hates publicity. Which is more than can be said of "Miss" Sylvia. She will commercialize her illicit love by selling the story about "her baby" to any one whose morbid and degenerate curiosity might get the better of their judgment. * It is such as Sylvia Pankhurst that ring the death knell of women's participation in public affairs. For years she has been a leader in the feminist movement. A militant leader; should any of the prominent men who lead, and are in the spotlight of public fairs, advertise to the world that they had committed an overt act of the usage of the weapon he boasted to defile, the women or civilization would protest and he would be driven from decent surroundings and become a pariah. Should a woman who willfully breaks the social law have any more consideration than the woman who error also possibly from love? The example of wantonness was set recently by a woman of wealth, when it is alleged that physical mate for the purpose of birthling a eagerness. Unless a halft is incurred the serious damage to the morals of our youth may result. Sylvia Pankhurst and all of her ilk who flaunt their wantonness in the face of society should be classed with the denizens of the sections who cater to lust. We are asking the question once more. Why is it that our "financiers" who seek to promote the various projects which call for the investment of other people's money, will not first learn the principles of finance before capitalizing? Why will not more of us go out in the country and pioneer in the production of staples. In our drives over the State many opportunities of the past few years are could have been purchased for moderate sum has soared beyond the reach of all but the man's money. We hear the cry of "hard times" through the soil awaits parts, while virgin soil awaits the husbandman. Some of our people have had the foresight to move out into the "open spaces" and make the effort. They WILL SUCEED. It is alleged that when Senator Stephens, Democrat, of Mississippi, accused Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover, Republican of signing the order to abolish race segregation in the Census Bureau that he, Secretary of Commerce, Hoover, in reply to the letter of the Senator, that published articles about the order abolishing segregation in the bureau, degree foolish untruths. The Senator or from the State was not satisfied he termed the answer to his question as "a very general statement." Cole Blease, Senator, Dolec Carolina, had read into the record the newspaper story of Secretary Hoover having issued the order abolishing racial segregation in the Census Bureau, and added that "such section would foreclose any hope of the Republicans breaking the 'solid South' at the next election. The "South Carolina friend" of some beachers and hangers-on of 'Anne Bellum' customs, read a letter to a woman (white) who termed to sign her name, who termed the race clerks in the bureau in which she work "Hoover Chocolates." What a fus! What a mess to raise a helluva to do. Men and women classified "as capable, efficient and withal, above reproach in deportment being the cause of disturbing the equilibrium of a pair of Southern statesmen, because of a protest from some protege from their bailiwick. The only comment to be made is; that the secretary of Commerce should have had the backbone to have ledged without abstention his issuance of the "Solid South." His vertebrae stiffening. No danger of breaking into the "Solid South." McKinley tried it, and, well—every other Republican since Hayes has tried it, and without so much as making a dent in the solid phalanx of Democracy. (Continued from Page One) Leaving Topeka, Kansas, we arrived at Kansas City, Mo., visited the plant of the amazingly growing Call, looked in upon relatives and sent a message to the beautiful land for St. Louis, arriving there at 7:30. We lost no time in company with Editor F. C. Williams in boarding the train at 8 o'clock for Louisville. We travelled all day through the State of Illinois and Indiana crossed the Mississippi, Wahshan and Ohio rivers landing Louisville on time and went to quarters to beautiful new Allen Hotel, which hostelry is indeed a high credit not only to Louisville but to the entire country as well. The sessions of the Press Association were due to open the following morning at which time owners, editors and publishers had arrived from all sections of the country. The next day's session was devoted to routine and the appointment of committees. The big opening night at Quinn Chapel was a stellar affair when all Louisville turned out to see and hear from the visitors. The Mayor of the City extended a most hearty welcome to all words of welcome and a real treat were the musical numbers rendered. All of the visiting scribes were introduced. Several were introduced for responses to welcoming addresses, among which were the President, George C. Vico-President, Georgia; A. L. Holsey, Alabama; L. J. G. Jordan; Bishop C. H. Phillips presented and paid the Negro Press a very high compliment. Busy by day with president B. A. Davis rushing the business of the session, each evening was given to various receptions and entertainments furnished by the local commit Perhaps the feature event of the week was the Smoker given by the Business Men who compose the Menikl Club.

Burr, Sentinel, Houston, Tex. and others. We said at this meeting Los Angeles shared well in the evening of oratory when editor Fred C. Williams is received an ovation for his effort. The evening closed with what is known as a "Nite Show" at the New Allen Hotel and the next day with a sight-seeking trip over the city and night and Sunday all homes, with full route to their own homes, with full route to no other point can excel Louisville in genuine hospitality and good fellowship.

Address To Country By National Negro Press Association (Continued from Page One) (Continued from Page One) 5. We approve the efforts of the National Negro Business League to work out a plan for the study of the Negro economic condition as represented in the survey of Negro business which is now being conducted. We record our gratitude to the United States Department of Commerce for the aid and assistance which it is giving to this survey and the legislation which came to the race in the appointment of a Negro man as director of the section of small business units. 6. We protest against the continual discrimination against the Negro on common carriers, including buses. Negro business should be accorded absolute equality in the matter of travel. 7. We note with pride the continual progress which the Negro is making in education and call upon state legislatures to increase their appropriations for this purpose and to make no more contributions of funds as between the races. 8. We condemn lynching and mob violence and hereby record our gratitude to the press, as well as other agencies that are striving for the abatement of this national evil. 9. We urge the adoption by the government of plans looking toward rehabilitation of the flooded Mississippi Valley, building of the Boulder Dam in the great sound, source of an increase in agricultural extension work among Negro farmers. 10. We call upon the religious press, the ministers of the gospel and leaders of our fraternal organizations to co-operate with the secular press and other agencies which have for their objective the development of the economic life of the Negro. In season and out of season, we must preach the doctrine of race pride, of interest in and support of Negro business enterprise, including Negro newspapers, not in the spirit of the boycott, the end that we must employ the men, boys and girls for ourselves a permanent and enduring place in American life. 11. inasmuch as the ballot is the most effective weapon in the hands of freeman for the protection of his civic, economic, and social rights, we urge black Americans everywhere to register and qualify as legal voters, prepared to exercise their franchise in the states where, they reside."

Hence the organization or building begins to depreciate in human value and becomes the center or political bickering instead of a character building station where men are made strong.

Even Sunday morning these hustlers were out, guilding the water from the irrigation ditch down the paths to their corn, potatoes, beans, beets and tomatoes, spinach, carrots, beets and other vegetables. Contentment was written on their faces and to questions of "Do you like it here?" their response was "Oh my, yes, we wouldn't live in Los Angeles again, we like it so well." "How is the soil?" "It will grow anything?" "How is the water?" "It is good, directly from the springs out of the mountain and plenty of it!" On the grounds the "Eagle" was met by a Mr. Stewart, one of the pro- gent gentleman, who gave in detail the reasons many, why that was the best plot of suburban land in the state. He guided them along the entire front of the proposed townsite, which is situated along the car line, just off the state highway which affords the largest interstate traffic of any other highway. The township which will be used at a recreation center and country club site. Just at the entrance of the tract stands the Mill School, a commodious grammar school and within easy walking distance. Discernable from any part of the grounds the flag pole of the Mountedardo High School vaunteth itself. The "Eagle" flew back to the city screaming its approval of the Valley Truck farms. N. A. A. C.

Finding said conditions true the matter was referred to the Playground Commission. Excerpts from the League's letter, suggesting a remedy for the condition found: "May we not suggest the following: That ground rules be posted in plain view of all persons visiting grounds and that visitors be requested to read the same. That such rules include a clause making it mandatory upon each person to observe, and obey the rules or be denied the privilege of grounds for a period equal to offense committed, even to the extent of permanent expulsion."

Impelled by his excitement over Republican administration of federal offices in Georgia, Sen. Walter George, Georgia, Democrat, introduced into the senate Monday, a resolution calling for a committee of three to investigate "the barter of federal offices in the state of Georgia and particularly are facts with respect to any payment of money or anything of value, or promise to pay money or anything of value, before, upon, or after the appointment to party officials or organizations or their agents or representatives, for the purpose of influencing appointments to such offices." The resolution, which was concurred in by George's Democratic colleague, Harris, was referred to the postoffice committee for consideration. It came as a result of the suicide of L.S. Peterson, white, a postmaster at Douglas, Ga. It was claimed that Peterson left letters charging that the Republicans had made him pay so much money to hold his job that he was driven to take his life. Senators George and Harris immediately took advantage of these alleged letters to point out the fact that a colored man, Benj. J. Davis of Atlanta, had charge of federal patronage in the state, and was the man who was making the charges. Davis denied this, asked for an investigation, and produced evidence to show that Peterson, the dead postmaster, had unlawfully drawn several thousands of dollars from the Atlanta post office just before his death. A thousand dollars of this money was returned by Peterson's wife. Hurl New Graft Charges At Bob Church Hurl New Graft Charges At Bob Church (By: A. N. P. Memphis, Tenn.. Apr. 20. Now graft charges involving Robert R. Church. Republican political lead- here, are contained in stories published in white newspapers, said to con- tain accusations made by G. Tom Taylor. Grojected candidate for postmaster of the city, to a committee of federal agents from Washington, which is investigating the various charges that have been made in the last month. The burden of Taylor's rehached charges is that Church demanded that he did not only pay him $1,000 a year from his salary, but that he also sought to force Taylor to pay him $1,700 which Church claimed he had incurred as expense in making various trips to make Taylor's appointment possible. George Poole, another disappointed candidate for the job, also told the agents that Church demanded $2,800 from him for the job and a promise of control. More important, according to Memphis papers, is the charge that Church sought to wreck the Shelby County Republican machining by using pressure to compel certain men to break an agreement which the readers of the party had. This agreement was to the effect that Church, Taylor, and the late Harry True, were to have equal power in naming the Tenth district Republican Committee and delegations to national conventions, and all other bodies affecting the district organization.

The Grand Jury is investigating the murder. There is a large Negro population in the district, but this is the first time any Negro aspired for any office. Granady was accompanied at the time of his killing by Euclid Louis Taylor, a post office clerk of 1402 Blue Island avenue, who is also a law student, and Thomas Clark, 1250 Milor street, the driver of their car.

Somerville Finance and Investment Company BEAUTY AND YOU BY: SADIE NERO-DAVIDSON CARE OF THE EYES The eyes have been called "the windows of the soul." A famous beauty specialist once said, "I can make any woman beautiful if she has a good pair of eyes to start with." Whenever we would find out what the soul is we look straight way into the "Eyes." If they call upon us or turn away, we are forced to conclude that all is not right within. Where we've frank, happy, laughing eyes, we believe that amiability, sincerity and truth are in the heart. Take care of your eyes you will never have another pair. Some ladies have a custom or squeezing orange juice into their eyes to make them brilliant. This operation is a little painful for a moment, but there is no doubt that it does cleanse the eye and imparts to it, temporarily, a remarkable brightness. But the best recipe for bright eyes is to keep good hours. Look up from your work every while to change the focus of your eyes and rest the delicate muscles. Hot water is most efficacious in case of inflammation or tiredness. Bathing for about ten minutes with water as hot as you can bear your show in it almost a sure relief. Don't read or study lying down; if the eyes are once injured they are not as good as before. Don't go to an optician to get glasses without first being examined and treated by a good occultist, much harm is often done in this way. Occasionally, when sewing or writing take a saucer of cold water in which a pinch of salt has been dissolved and into it wink your eyes half a dozen times, dry with sofa naqkim, keeping them shut for ten minutes. management. management.

This Filipino boy, Dado, imported here under the wing and wise SPEEDY DADO Flashy little Filipino Star of Frank Churchill's Stable boxing champion Newsboy Brown at Olympic Tuesday. guidance of Frank Churchill has shot like a brown streak through the ranks of the bantam's, near bantam's and flyweights until he stands now knocking at the door of the throne room. Al Long, famous trainer and movie actor has been training Dado until he has him in the best of trim and in fine shap for a trial at the glove throwing paper hustler.

TONY FUENTE'S SENSA TIONAL KID BROTHER ON MACGALENO HART BILL AT MAIN ST Carlo Curtis, the honest to goodness boy promoter of the Main St. A. C. can see real prospects in kid boxers miles away. His latest exploit along this line is the choosing of Mickey Fuente, big brother of Tony, several victories ago, for all of little brother Mickey's starts have ended in wins. Mickey will, probably add Sidney Bush to his growing list of victims Saturday night on the second bout of the Main St. bill. Ciel Aastendillo is another good addition, he is a math eventer, having boxed Jose Dlaz when he first arrived here from South America. The whole card follows: Jesus Gavuco vs. Salvadore Rodriguez, 4 rounds; Mickey Fuente vs. Sidney Bush, 4 rounds; Oriol Orciadillo vs. Mike Holland, 4 rounds; Bert Hubbard vs. Isamal Alday, 4 rounds; Johnny Godinez vs. Clayton Gouyd, 6 rounds; Billy Hart vs. Mateo Magdaleno, 6 rounds.

GRANVILLE, WEST INDIAN NEGRO PULLING UP GARDNER STILL IN THE GOING Exciting times and big doing the most week have been interspersed daily in the cross continental race that future generations will read of as they dig into our musty records. Every stop has been a holiday for that town and through Oklahoma, where there is a large colored population, they have gathered from far and near with true race pride to see our boys come in. They are getting good treatmen and fair play too from city officials and Pyle's officials, for every one feels a deep sympathetic interest for the kind of men who show more real heroism daily than that famed, ancient Greek runner, who carried the news or the battle of Marathon. TOBY JOSEPHS ONLY 15 A little white lie by the Sports Editor of this paper kept little. Toby Josephs in the race after C. C. Pyle ordered his entrance money returned to him and his participation prevented when in asking the boy's age he replied: "15, and a pupil of McKinley School." "No!, he's 17, Mr. Pyle," the anxious writer declared, knowing how eager the boy's crippled father was for him to continue. And Pyle let him stay. He is still making it in though about four hours behind the leaders and will show up good in the final laps. El Reno, Ckklahoma City, Claremore, Tulsa and Chelsea are some, of the towns covered the past week with 1,669.6 miles traversed up until Wednesday, April 17. Okla. P.

GIRL-ETICS by: GLADYS MATHONICAN *Behind the Scenes with The Sports Editor THE LINCOLN THEATRE IS TO BRING BROADWAY TO CALIFORNIA On April 27th by reproducing the same shows with the same people that have set New York wild the last year, the Lincoln will have brought Broadway to California. This is the great show on its way here under the direction of Miller and Slayter. Mr. Miller is the brother of the famous Irvin The Girl Reserves of the 12th St. Center, will try to repeat their victory over the Japanese Girls in a game with the Pasadena Girl Reserves on the 28th of this month. This game will be a good one, no doubt of it, as these two groups are real rivals. The game will be played at the 28th St. Branch of the Y. M. C. A. There will be no admission charge so come out and support your home team, for with a little backing they can't help but win. The game will start at 7:30 P. M. In a recent meet, held in San Jose, two new world records for feminine athletes were set, by two California girls who were participating in the Women's Western Track and Field championship meet held there. Miss Margaret Jenkins, of the California Athletic Club hurling the javelin for a distance of 129 feet and 1½ inches, broke the previous record she held or 127 feet and 3 inches. Miss Vivian Hardwick, of San Francisco, lowered her own world mark for the baseball throw, when she tossed the ball 245 feet 9½ inches. This certainly proves that the girls are holding their own. In the week-before-last issue of this paper, there was a mistake in print in this column. A sentence that started, "Gold is interesting many of the girls," should have read, "Golf is interesting many of the girls." The editor of the column certainly hopes that this will be cleared up in the minds of the readers. PLAY BALL! The L. A. Titers, a group of the coy's best, Colored ball players, are going to open up in the White Sox Park, Sunday, April 22 at 2 o'clock. The boys have played several successful out-of-town games and are ready to show Los Angeles a good ball game. Mr. J. P. White, former manager of the Hilldale Giants, is now managing this team. He has a fine team in these boys for they are all good fielders and excellent batters and will show everyone that attends the White Sox Park at 3:38 and Compton, a good ball game. Behind the Scenes with The Sports Editor THE LINCOLN THEATRE IS TO BRING BROADWAY TO CALIFORNIA On April 27th by reproducing the same shows with the same people that have set New York wild the last year, the Lincoln will have brought Broadway to California. This is the great show on its way here under the direction of Miller and Slayter. Mr. Miller is the brother of the famous Irvin Miller author and producer. Florence Mills old vehicle, Shuffle Along, Runnin' Wild, Liza Still, Shufflin Dnah, Creole Follies and Dixie Brevities are some of the shows to be presented. BABY MACK was received with the big glad hand and welcome that she used to receive nightly when with the Doc Straine show. She has been playing at Sebastian's Cotton Club since leaving the Lincoln and the naive, earnest expression she put into her numbers have made her a great favorite there also all the vaudeville varieties of the past week were exceptionally good but the two white boys in a dancing act deserve especial mention. Their hooing was neat, graceful and best of all contained a lot of new steps. CREOLE CAROLYN SNOWDEN'S floor show at the Cotton Club is as large as many stage shows in the theatres. She has surrounded herself with some of the best talent in the West and has shown good judgment in picking people who can really do things. The two Alli boys are the hit of the nite club. Hard work keeps the presentation of these boys up to the standard. They are always practising and inventing new steps something so many colored dance acts fail to do. Claude Collins of the Lincoln is very popular with the patrons and Harold's singing always brings a ready response both to the box and in applause. The Indian number by the whole company is splendid and was something original in the line of such numbers. BEN HUR comes to the Rosebud—April 24. 25. Gilda Gray thrilled in the Devil Dancer, Sunday and Monday. "SAILORS' WIVES" at the Broadway Palace was a beautiful story with well planned settings. Sorrel and Son is running now. REB SPIKES is using a lot of new stuff in his hot musical numbers at the Follies. The show is especially good. PAUL ROBENSON, the internationally known singer, actor, athlete and scholar, sailed from New York board the Olympic for Europe where he will fill numerous engagements on the continent before returning to America. THE BOXING CLUB PEDRO AMADOR AND SANTIAGO ZORILLA Why the heck Wirt Ross, who is making a young fortune for himself with these two great boys, persists in denying they are Negroes and claiming they are San Blas Indians is too hard to guess at. They just happened to be born in the Isthmus of Panama, speaking Spanish like thousands of Louisiana Negroes speak French. Yet he expects a large following of colored fans where he is taking them. The boys themselves are all right. years ago. Philo McCullough, the heavy, and Roscoe Karns both played semi-professionally. Dix, himself, was given a letter in high school for playing baseball, so I guess I won't have much to say. "Bat, at that, they play the game a lot differently than they did in my day." Bebe Daniels Seeks Charm of Good Luck Determined to defeat the accident hoodoom which has chased her throughout her career,贝德 Daniels, motion picture star, today started a worldwide search for some charm which will knock the daylights out of Old Man Jinx. Since the first day of screen work, when she slapped on the grease paint in any old manner, right down to the present moment as a star, Miss Daniels has appeared to be a standing candidate for the hospital and, according to her, things must change. From her standpoint, there must be someone who has had a prolonged eru of good luck, ostensibly brought about through the carrying of some sort of charm and if that person is willing to let the star have this charm, she will reward them generously. "I don't mind taking my share of the falls," she says, "but I'm getting a bit weary of having someone's else thrown in for good measure. "Now, it seems, my greatest follow- ing is composed of surgeons' and nurses because they all know me per- sonally. Most of them across the con- tinent know me well enough to call me by my first name. "I've borne the brunt of motor crashes, been tossed from walls, hit water while tied up like a knot, been sliced with wards, taken blows in the back until my vertebrae squeal with terror, and in my last production, "The Fifty-Fifty Girl," I got a nice even break by ending up on the short end of a Pullman car wreck. Ten days in the hospital was the charge on that. "I'm willing to give an evening dress to any woman who sends me the winning good luck charm. In the event that a gentleman gives me the beat trinket of good luck, then he shall A. COLORED ATHLETES SHOULD ALL TRY their level best to win places in the Olympic teams that go to compete against every other country under the sun so far advanced as to have representatives in these wide contests. TO WIN means honor to self, to the Race, and to our country, the United States, the only country we know or care anything about, regardless of those who praise other countries but do not go there. A GOOD athlete is usually a pretty fair citizen for usually qualities of fairness, bravery, consideration, cooperation and true sportsmanship become instilled within the nature, through engagement in the exploits of ring, pool, mat, track, field or whatever sports arena. have a novel finger-ring. But I ask for letters first. "From the letters sent to me describing the historical background and the merits of the talisman, I shall make a selection of ten, and ask the owners of these ten to send the charms on to me at the Paramount studio in Hollywood. "From these ten I shall pick one and return the rejected ones, if the return is requested. Also, I promise to always carry the one chosen." Send Miss Daniels your letter describing your favorite charm. Some one is in for a reward.
