Movie Story With Local Talent To Be Made The young people of our section who have often endeavored to break into the studios of Hollywood will be given their chance to test their screening ability with no cost to them if the proposed plans for producing a complete movie story are carried out. Mr. Barrick, an experienced motion picture director, has obtained the cooperation of the California Eagle in selecting of the cast and he will make a complete motion picture story using only a cast of characters that will include the young people desirious of testing their screening ability. The cast will include people from four to twenty-five years of age and every applicant will receive the same training in motion picture acting, technique given for one week before the shooting of the picture in order 2 save time and acquaint the prospective cast with motion picture work. There is no charge to entering the cast and receiving this training for everyone interested will be egregious by placing their application for the cast with the Movie Editor of the California Eagle or at the box office of BENEFIT MUSI SAT., JUNE 30- Loyola College to Have Ground Breaking PRESIDENT INVITES RACE GROUP TO BE PRESENT The broad-minded sense of unity and desire for brotherhood so frequently expressed by remarks of the other group was commendably exemplified by an invitation received a few days ago by Dr. H. Claude Hudson from the president of Loyola College, this city. Dr. Hudson, president of the local branch N. A. A. C. P., and a strong and highly recognized leader of the colored citizens here, is studying law at the famous college. The institution is building on a beautiful site high up in Del Rey Hills and the letter below which explains itself was sent a week from the celebration of this event: I am writing you this letter as an indication that you are chosen on my special committee to invite all the colored groups to participate in the great ground-breaking celebration which takes place on Del Rey Hills. Please convey to all our brothers my keenest delight to have them unite with us on that great occasion, when we are bringing together all nations, all creeds and all fraternities. With my very kind personal regards to you and to the them, I beg to remain. Most devotedly yours, (Signed): FATHER JOS. SULLIVAN, S. J. President Ladies' Minstrel I Mean! This time, "Pete" Beavers is at the bat! All right folk! Let's give her one big round of applause and see to it that the Ladies' Minstrel goes over bigger this time than ever before! Most of the girls who make up the personnel of this show, are talented. Some of them possess rare ability in their different lines, and they are brim full of enthusiasm with a fervent desire to demonstrate to Los Angeles show going people that they are capable of doing what any class of young people similarly engaged can do if they are given the proper background from which to work. New jokes, clever dances, novel ideas will prevail throughout the show. And—they're moving it two nights! Monday and Tuesday, May 21 and 22. So—get dated up like "those in on the onk" for the Ladies' Minstrel! FIFTY-FIFTY!

This is what Peter, Andrea should have thought last Sunday night, when he engaged in a fastic combat at a Pier Avenue Ball Room. Witnesses stated that Andrea was the aggressor. When arrigned in Judge Spencer's court, he was given a fine of $50.00 or 50 days. He chose the 50 days. ICAL REVIEW—AN SHRINE AUDITORIUM PASTOR'S DAY CELEBRATED BY: MRS. MAMIE L. WHATLEY The members and friends of the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church met in their beautiful little edifice at 261 N. Bonnie Brae St. last Sunday, May 13th and celebrated what they set aside each year on that date as Pastor's REV. W. H. ROZIER Ilyv. The services throughout the day were held in honor of this internationally known man of God, Dr. W. H. Rozier, who founded the now widely known Pleasant Hill Baptist Church more than fifteen years ago. The celebration began with a literary program in the latter half of the Sunday School hour, most of the numbers appearing on this program were poems, addresses and songs; original productions of those who rendered them, touching the life and work of Pastor Rozier with relation to the Pleasant Hill Church. The eleven o'clock hour brought beautiful addresses giving the History of Pleasant Hill, the hardships and trials through which it passed and the glowing success it has attained. Following a sumptuous Pastor's Day dinner which was served in the social CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 ANNUAL CONFERENCE NOTES ANNUAL CONFERENCE NOTES BY. WILLIS O. TYLER Friday The invasion of Gaklahoma City was complete. The California delegation arrived at 3:30 Thursday afternoon and wae mum at the station by the boys brass band of the Douglas High School and a large number of friends, church folk and well wishers. We rode to Avery Chapel behind the band and were taken sightseeing. RECeption Program At 8:30 the program was given at the church in honor of the Western part of the 18th district family. The programme was 18th颁过 over by Dr. W. L. Haywood and in addition to welcome address delivered by Rev. J. C. Spike, Presbyterian; Mrs. Carrie Tarlton, D. I. W. Young and Rev. J. T. Jordon were exceptionally good in musical numbers. Mrs. Zenia Breaux, director of music in the Douglas High School presented its Junior WILL EVER STAND FOR AMERICANISM FIGHTING SEGREGATION AND JIM-CROW IN PUBLIC PLACES In an article concerning the dedication of the New City Hall, written by me, which appeared in the May 4th issue of this paper, I described to our readers how five, some outstanding, members of our group, had been segregated at the Biltmore Hotel luncheon. I also described my position in the premises as a member of the Women's Committee and part of a conversation which transpired at the table. My intention then, as it has always been, was to resent any un-American attitude towards us as a group and not toward me as an individual, as some members of the Biltmore luncheon party, writing in last week's issue of my contemporary the "New Age-Dispatch", seemed to want to convey and fix this idea in the minds of the public, that I was offended because I was not allowed to sit at the table with the Committee with which I had served. If I had slipped in the Biltmore, dined, and come back to the people with whom I had worked, told them everything was lovely, nothing would have come of it, but because I dared to tell the truth, there are those who are waiting to devour me body and soul. I can't say, as said Bishop Abram Grant that, "if you eat me, you will have more brains in your abdominal cavity than you have in your heads," but I will say this, that after you have digested me, you will have a voice within that will continue to cry out against segregation, proscription and Jim-Crowism as it affects my group, especially in public places and af- THE MISSTATEMENT. Several days before the luncheon, one of the members of the party came to me and stated that she had been invited by Mr. Sanders, the ("philanthropist") I said, "I wish we could go together, but you know I have served with these women, and I don't want them to feel that I am not capable of going all the way." I further stated to this person: "I don't understand what Mr. Sanders is doing, but then he is a member of the Men's Committee and maybe they have more tickets and more power than the women, but I hope this is not a political trick." In relating the circumstance again, I say it was not my intention to make an attack on any member of my group, but it certainly was and is my intention to fight conditions as they exist. I do say that we have some political bosses who should be relegated to the ranks of forgetfulness if we hope ever to come into our citizenship rights. There "Bosses" of whom I speak are ever ready to serve—BUT HOW? They divert our attention from the real enemy by starting a fight between us, and we are so blind to facts that we are without vision. You may direct your guns on me, ye mighty philanthropists who soil not, neither do you spin, for never shall I cease to fight the real enemy of our progress until the day begins to break for a new social and political era for my people—nor shall I be dismayed should some fail to understand. IN POLITICS. I believe that we should enter into the realm of politics not as hirelings, but as independent citizens of a commonwealth. That if we need a fund to carry on, we should get together and raise that fund, and not permit any member of a group to buy our conviction, directly or indirectly. If it were understood that we were politically independent, in that we were not in the political market for sale, either by ourselves or by some big "boss" we would get proper recognition as was due us at the Biltmore and other public places where Negroes are constantly being pushed aside.

Want Man Returned To Louisiana (By The Associated Negro Press) Blenville, La., May 15.—Extradition proceedings have been instituted be fore Governor Paulen, of Kansas, for the return of Coleman Kirkendol and George Glass, who are charged with kidnapping. It is said that Kirkendol came to this place recently on the death of his father and toook to Topeka, Kan., his two half brothers age 18 and 9 respectively, who were left without a guardian on the death of his parent. Later Kirkendol was informed that the youths owed $140 to a plantation owner. Should the indicted mer be returned to Louisiana and convicted they will be "sold" to plantation owners, as the law of Louisiana allows convicts to be leased to the highest bidders to work out their fines and terms of imprisonment. Convicts can be leased at the rate of thirty cents a day and keep. Graduate of Law LEON WHITAKER RECEIVES DEGREE AT UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA The degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence was conferred upon Leon Whitaker, of this city, at the commencement exercises of the University of California, Wednesday morning, May 16th, 1928. The ceremony was held LEON LEROY WHITAKER, A. B., J. D. at Berkeley, the seat of the University. The degree, was conferred by the Regents of the University of California, on the election of the Faculty of the School of Jurisprudence. Mr. Whitaker took the Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of California in 1926. The faculty and student editors of the Law Review unanimously elected him to the Editorial Staff of the review in May, 1927. He was appointed to the Board of Governors of the Boalt Hall of Law Association in September, 1927. No. 50 INVEST in a Soul The successful business man or woman who reaches out into the human entanglement, in the big parade, as it passes onward day by day, and snatches from this amalgamated mass some struggling boy or girl who is eager to succeed along the educational line, gives him or her a chance to succeed in life, has laid up for him or herself treasures on earth. WE have a new leadership. No longer are we forced to listen to the antiquated story about how we came up from slavery with its blood and tears. The new leadership tells us that—"the Negro must raise his economic standard" if he hopes to unlock the doors to the political and business worlds, and he can do this only by increasing the degree of his average intelligence. If a Negro boy has sufficient intelligence to shine boots, then let all the Negro bootblacks come together, pool their interests and open one or two centrally located Bootblack Parlors that will meet the popular demand in cleanliness and artistic development to the extent that any lady or gentleman might deem it a pleasure to enter and remain until their boots have been cared for. Let the women who have toiled in laundries owned and controlled by others, who prescribe for them certain end, as a rule unskilled duties, with the backing of their husbands, get behind or with the Atlas Laundry and make it one of the biggest and greatest laundry plants in the city, where the fifty thousand Black Folk of Los Angeles may send their soiled linen and have it done for the same price and in the same manner that it is done by those who are doing it now. AGAIN the finger of time turns on its pendulum and tells us—there are better days ahead. So often we are not won't to do honor to our own. Tuesday morning, bright and early, Los Angeles' Club women, beautifully regaled appeared at the Southern Pacific Railway Station to do honor to Madam Florence Cole-Talbert, who was to have arrived, but who, on account of some condition over which she had no control, did not get in. But the women were there, ready to do honor to whom honor is due. Madam Talbert is not a success for herself, but for her people and, after a brilliant sojourn in Italy and other parts of Europe, she is happy to return to her home, parents, and friends in this city where she will appear in gala recital. We are glad to once more bask in the sunshine of your sweet smile, Madam Talbert, and the California Eagle bids you welcome. IT IS understood that some of the members of the Biltmore luncheon party invaded the Baptist Ministers Alliance last Monday A. M., presumably to call their attention to the fact that we had assailed them in a certain article published in the California Eagle in the May 4th issue. To this charge, we plead, "Not Gully." FIFTEEN years ago, we went before the Supervisors and asked that Colored girls be placed in the General Hospital as maids. Our request was granted. Having the assurance of of Mr. R. H. Norton that if these girls made good as maids that later on they would be admitted for nurse training. We used our office as a free employment bureau for the supplying of these maids. They made good, and the fight for recognition went, on until Colored girls were admitted for training and they too, have made good. It is reported that gross segregation is practiced by the authorities upon these Colored nurses in this municipal institution. When young Americans are subjected to such slights as being set apart on occasions of graduation, physical training, etc., it takes away from them the fire of youth that is essential to their success as good citizens. They are, whether they admit CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 LOS ANGELES, FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1928 Amy DA LOS ANGELES, FRIDAY, MAY 1820 Clarence Dunivan, fighting Irish wetterweight from San Francisco is matched to meet Young Sam Langford, in a ten-round bout at San Bernardino for this Thursday night. Dunivan is a sensation in the Gate City, having won three bouts there by knock-outs, and none of them going over three rounds. Clarence first fought Babe Jackson, the slugging kid from Redlands and the "Mick" from Frisco pulled a fast one and K. O'ed Jackson in one round. His other two fights were with Buddy Fargo, whom he stopped in two rounds and Phil Cody who went to dreamland in the third canto. Now they have the hard hitting south paw matched with clever Young Sam Langford. Dunivan claims that he will stop the dusky kid in four rounds. The boy from San Francisco may achieve his ambition If Young Sam chooses to mix matters. This style of fighting is duck soup for Dunian and he will stop most of them if they mix with him. He punches too fast and hard for most opponents. Langford will undoubtedly fight a defensive fight, outboxing his more aggressive foe awaiting a chance to plant a right to the chin. If, that right lands Dunian will be counting stars for quite a little while. Nell Clisby, well-known heavyweight has a baby brother starting in the game. "Rich," as he is called, is a typical Clisby, having a wonderful physique and packs a tremendous wallop in his right hand. He scales around 165 pounds and from what the writer has seen in the gym the young Clisby will be giving the best in that weight a hot time soon. And it won't be long now. ```markdown ``` Vernon Jackson, hard hitting featherweight had to leave the Southland because none of the top-notchers would give him a tumble. Jackson is in San Francisco now trying to land bouts. Vernon has been fighting just a little over a year and a half and at the present time is one of the best in his class. We had the pleasure to see him box with Santiago Zorrilla in the Main Street gym, just before the boy from Panama left for the East. In our opinion the boys were pretty evenly matched. What a battle that would make. Zorrilla rushing and throwing punches faster than you can count and Jackson countering just as fast. A natural if there ever was one. Ed. Gardner has been running behind the leaders, in the last week because of trouble he had with his feet. It was thought at first that he might have to drop out, but the plucky cross-country runner stayed on and is now endeavoring to make up lost time. Phillip Granville, the West Indian Negro is still among the first and is running in 4th place now and gaining every day. THE COMMENTATOR STAGE AND SCREEN LINCOLN THEATRE 'LOUD TALKING' COMEDIAN SCORES HIT Lincoln Theatre fans, once won to a particular actor, are extremely hard to please by any other. The present show with its high-class artists, have no doubt experienced something of this nature. Sloan, master comedian of the De Browne Co., and these, same fans tied up in a sack, as far as affection goes. They simply idolized him. Galli De Gaston, equally as good a comedian, would have at any other house, won all the popularity needed—but, this is the Lincoln—so different. Last week, however, working a single out front, he demonstrated just how good he was, when he "hud-talked" the entire cast and chorus. And the fans liked it. It seems now, that Bilo has been definitely replaced. Greely and Broomfield, again prove a sensation. it appears that the title of last week's show "Jazzmania" was completely woven around this pair. They jazz danced "till times got better'. However, they shouldn't be made or allowed to compel the rest of the show to trail behind them. Give 'em all a 'break.' We heard that Emma Hawkins could sing the Blues. Well, why doesn't she sing 'em? She sings good and dances well—that is as good as the ordinary soubrette—but, let's hear her sing a blues number, without the aid of the chorus. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened By the way. This chorus will put any number over. Witness the efforts to sing of Marcus Slater: weak, but he gets over—with the aid of the chorus. Edith Spencer and Lottie Gee certainly believe in harmonious singing. Their little duets are sure to bring an encore. Better next week, we hope. Mr. John Hunt and family Dodged out of town Sunday and returned with a string of Sun Perch and Cat Fish. The Poppy Girls Club met at the home of Mrs. Melton, 1527' E. 23rd St. on Wednesday evening, May 9th. A delicious Dutch luncheon was served by the hostess. The visitor of the evening were Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. McGuire. Prize was won by Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Mathis.

"The Drag Net" In a room two men in golf toes are practicing putting. In a courtroom across the street the noose is tightening about the neck of Dapper Frank Trent, notorious gangster. The witness, a former member of his gang, turned state's evidence, takes the stand and glares at his former leader. One of the golfers takes from his golf bag a sportsman's rifle and shoots through the window of the courtroom across the street. The witness crumples in his chair, dead! —That is the dramatic opening of "The Drag Net." starring George Bancroft, which comes to the Metropolitan Theatre tomorrow, May 19th. In "The Drag Net," George Bancroft gives the greatest characterization of his career. He portrays a case-hardened, iron-fisted, straight-shooting detective, whose motto is "Shoot 'em first and finger-print 'em after." Recalling Bancroft's performances in "Underworld" and "The Show Down," it is easy to expect a virel and exciting vehicle in "The Drag Net." It has all the thrilling qualities which made "Underworld" such a tremendous success and all of the tense drama of "The Show Down." It is, without a doubt, the greatest crook melodrama of all time. "The Drag Net" has the famous "Underworld" cast augmented with William Powell, the suave villian. Evelyn Brent, who plays opposite Bancroft, gives a wonderful performance as the girl who admires its strength above all other qualities. William Powell, gives one of his usual masterly performances as the underworld gang leader and Fred·Kohler is exceptionally convincing as Steve the Greek, one of the gang leader's lieutenants. Leslie Fenton has one of the best roles in the picture as Shakespeare, the literary detective, and plays it perfectly. Unquestionably Josef von Sternberg, the director, has scored another sensational triumph in "The Drag Net" to place with "Underworld" and "The Last Command." On the stage of the "Met," "Dancing Feet" will share honors with "The Drag Net" in comprising a "knockout" program. Rose and Edwards are featured. Y. M. C. A. and B. A. A. A.

May 15—Following the spring meeting of the trustees of the Hampton Institute it was made by James E. Gregg principal, that graduate courses, leading to the degree of master of arts will be given in the Summer School of Hampton Institute. In venturing into this new field it seems wise to begin by offering these courses of most interest to the largest number. It is true that at the present time there are more college graduates serving as high school principal than in any other field of educational work. For the present, therefore, Hampton will offer such advanced courses in the field of education and is arranging its graduate work with particular reference to the needs of high-school principals and teachers of education in normal schools and colleges. Graduate courses will be open to students holding baccalaureate degrees from Hampton Institute of from other colleges of corresponding grade and to others who, because of maturity and experience are able to profit by them. Admission to candidacy shall be determined by the Committee on Graduate Courses, of which W. E. Stark, Dean of the College, is chairman. Graduate courses to be given during the summer of 1928 are in the fields of economics, sociology, and education. TUSKEGEE SUMMER SCHOOL OFFERS 135 COURSES (Bx A, N P) Tuskegee Institute, Ala.

Hurbert Julian. Harlem's Negro air hero, who plans a "Rome-and-return" flight, indications are that there will actually be an over subscription. Licutenant Julian has never lost his tremendous popularity since 1924, when he attempted a trans-Atlantic flight in his seascape, the Ethiopia. Although the Ethiopia first stuck on a mudbank and made a forced landing in Flushing bay, a few miles from its take off, Julian's supporters are still sure he can span the ocean. Since then Julian has formed the habit of descending on Harlem, via a parachute, clad in a spectacular pair of red tights. Once he chose the ledge of a window of the West One Hundred and Twenty-third street police station as a landing point and the surprised officers promptly arrested him for disturbing the peace. All L.

Did you know that the child is really directing this affair this year? Not only is she making a go of it, but they really sav that the show will be a bigger and better one this year than ever before. When I think of the success of the former years, it but makes me more keen to see the one this year. I can hardly wait until the evening of the 21st.

There will be an act to suit every taste no matter how fastidious. It is to be a woman affair from the start to finish. "Not a Man in the house." ha! ha! I startled you then I know, but don't get excited. Men and boys will be there in great numbers to see what their women can do. The Federated Women's Clubs are sponsoring the affair they are giving the necessary backing to put the affair over big. Every woman in town is interested.

Street Buttons To Be Replaced Street Buttons To Be Replaced Use of flat metal disks, to take the place of the present four buttons at intersections, is now being considered by the Tarffie Commission, which has advocated tests to discover if the disk will prove as efficient in directing lanes of traffic.

HUNT HUmbolt 3230 If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened HUmbolt 3230 If it can be shown that motorists will go around flat disks, and obey the regulations while making left-hand turns, they can be substituted for the raised corrugated buttons. For this reason, the Traffic Commission has suggested the testing out of disks at several intersections. For safety zones, the commission takes the position that the buttons should remain, as they form at least a partial defense of pedestrians against encroachments of automobiles. Motor cars are prohibited from driving in safety zones at all times, the zones representing havens of refuge for street-car riders, or islands of safety for pedestrians crossing the street. Statistics show that far more persons are injured while waiting for street cars at points where there are no safety zones, than where these zones have been established. If motorists keep out of safety zones the raised buttons will not injure their tires. AUTO VACATION SEASON OPENS SACRAMENTO, May 18.—California's annual motoring vacation season is on, the Division of Motor Vehicles reported today. Recent reports submitted by traffic officers, it was stated show hundreds of cars, laden with bedding and camping equipment, have already taken to the highways, lured by mild spring weather and balmy sunshine. Some are the wheezy old wrecks of the migratory "wagon tramps." But not all. For many, says the division, are the high-powered and expensive motors of those who tore of the inside of four walls and seek the solace of California's early spring in the outdoors. Nor are the vacationists confined to California, for already the vanguard of a vast army of Eastern tourists has arrived and more are pouring in daily through the border stations established by the division. To vacationists the division made the following suggestions in a bulletin: 1. Comply with the state law by loading your baggage so that it does not protrude more than 6 inches beyond the hub caps on the lefthand side. See that your load is equalized. 2. Have your brakes examined before you start. Tighten and reline tains early in the year, take chains. They may prevent an accident. 4. Protect the forests and grain fields by keeping your muffler cut out closed and by equipping your car with some sort of receptacle for burning cigarettes and matches. 5. Unless you are familiar with the mechanism of an automobile have the vital parts of your car, such as the steering gear, inspected by an expert. 6. HAVE YOUR LIGHTS ADJUSTED. 7. Drive carefully and without haste. Don't try to see all the country during one vacation. There are others coming for the careful driver. I know you'll want to learn it. Everybody does, that new dance crea- tion, "The Baltimore Buzz," it is snappy, peppy and gay. See it featured at the Ladies Minstrel, the 21 and 22 of May.

The proposal involves the construction of five ships capable of carrying more than 200 persons with a speed of approximately 100 miles an hour. U. P.

Representative citizens upon being summoned rushed to the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters located at Room 208 Lincoln Building today when six white men entered the office and without producing any search warrant effected a searching of the premises and person of Ashley L. Totten, Assistant General Organizer after charging him with peddling narcotics. According to Totten the men entered the office while he was alone. He received them in the reception room believing at the time that they represented some labor organization. After one of the men flashed a badge, they immediately began searching his premises, dividing themselves into three groups. While two of the men pinned him against the wall, one of the group produced a small vial containing some white substance which they claimed was morphine; a second group produced a bottle said to contain whiskey—these article were found in the reception room. Mr. Totten was refused the use of his phone but fortunately Mr. Wilkins of the Kansas City Call entered the mission. They replied that they were sent there to arrest Totten for peddling dope and argued that they had the evidence. Totten said, "I call on you now to arrest me. You claim that I am a dope peddler and you also claim that you have the evidence. Why don't you arrest me?" It was then that they began to weaken and after explaining that they were informed Pullman Porters were bringing dope to his office, they hur- Res.: 1411 E.

Within the past three years the state of North Carolina has taken two of Atlanta's representatives (colored) to head up prominent educational institutions. I refer to Livingstone College at Salisbury, and Bennett College at Greensboro. It was my privilege to visit these two institutions last week, and I was much impressed with the fine character of work which is being done by these two men. The campus at Bennett College hag been beautified with flowers, lawns, and new walk and driveways. In addition to this a number of new buildings have been erected, the faculty strengthened; and the work promises even larger development within the next few years. Since President Trent has taken hold of the work of Livingstone College it has changed its rating, from Class C to Class A, in commenting upon his work at Livingstone, President Trent said, "Our church organization has stood squarely behind us in our work here; and we are going to St. Louis to present our new development program. Already we anticipate the enthusiastic support of the bishops and others of our connections." In connection with the work at Bennet College, I was reliably informed while in the state, by friends of President Jones, that his administration has been so successful that several of the large philanthropic boards have become definitely interested, which promises some relief to President Jones from the arduous task of raising funds to meet the opening expenses. President Trent carried with him a record of a long and useful career as Executive Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association in Atlanta, while President Jones served most acceptably as Field Representative of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation and Secretary of the Standard Life Insurance Company. These two Atlanta; men have made good as educators in North Carolina; and we predict for them a continually expanding opportunity for service.

A. E. Macauley, assistant educational director or Sierra Leone, British West Africa, addressed them at Chapel exercises. "Africa looks to the American Negro for the aspiration and achievement", Mr. MacCauley said, "You have done things we are seeking to do; and when it is said that Negroes are incapable we point to your achievements in America. Tuskegee has helped answer the question as to the Negro's ability. Africa has helped answer the question as to the Negro's ability. Africa is a land with a past: it is working in the present; it has a glorious future." He told something of the history of the colony, of its peoples, of its customs, or the newly adopted policy of training the natives along vocational lines in addition to the classical training of former years, of the methods to adapt western civilization to the needs of the people. Mr. Macauley is a graduate of the University of Manchester and Oxford University, England. He is the first native to hold the position of assistant educational director of a British colony in Africa. He is in Tuskegee to observe methods of vocational training. He is accompanied by his wife, also a native of Sierra Leone, and a woman of great charm and culture, educated in Europe.

The tables with their glistening silver, beautiful glassware and gorgeous centerpieces that were bouquets of flowers of pastel shades were exquisite to behold. The decorations carried out in pink and white with little baskets and place cards to match was a very clever novelty. An old fashioned talk fez enlivened by a good, spicy program was indeed a treat. Covers were laid for sixteen and when all had found their places Miss Waters served a most delicious lunchon or dried spring chicken, creamed potatoes, green pease, carrots, hot rolls, assorted cakes and moulded ice cream.

RS --- MODERN EQUIPMENT, SYMPATHETIC AND ECONOMIC SERVICE TO ALL. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS We will] long remember Mother's Day. We had an unusually good attendance at the morning services. The services were very impressive. They were marked by large attendance of men, and many of these promised to turn to Christ, and serve mother's God. The pastor's subject was "Mother O' Mine." He showed the many things that mother does, and the marvelous power of mother love when this is seasoned with the love of God Deacon Moseley sang. The evening services were especially unique. This service was a combination of Mothers' Day, and Boys Day. Boys had entire charge of the program. They served as ushers, led the music, and made the tributes to mother. Horace Hampton was Master of Ceremonies and Harry Penn, Roger Willis and Edward McCoy made the talks. Crispus Wright read the scriptures, and Charles Whittiker and Alphus Brewer offered the public prayers. The crowd that greeted the boys was very large, and enthusiasm ran high. The Odd Fellows were with us in the afternoon, and they too had a good congregation, and an excellent service. Please look elsewhere for the announcement of next Sunday's program. "The Crimson Eye-Brows," Operetta, is presented by a cast of 50. It is directed by Mrs. G. A.

Wilson and Mr. Tyler at his home for a short visit and we urged upon him the importance of another visit to Los Angeles Mr. Lyons negotiated for some property in Los Angeles a few years ago through K. C./Venerable, but the deal fell through. Rev. Pryor fas happy in a short visit with Mrs. Breaux whom I have already mentioned, while Rev. Gantt and wife, enjoyed a brief visit with Mrs. Price. At 11:15, we left Oklahoma City for El Reno, a junction 27 miles distant and at 4:15. Friday morning tied onto a Rock Island train from Dallas and reached Kansas City at 4:15 p. m. Friday Our party of 16 was augmented by 10 at Oklahoma City. Our brother layman, E. W. Winters, has suffered with a bad attack of rheumatism which has finally settled in his right foot. All Friday it was so painful, he was obliged to keep abed. Rev. Gantt and Mr. Tyler assumed the role of party physicians. We gave hot applications and iodex which afforded much relief. Rev. Gantt shaved brother Winters and Tyler gave him a massage. After this operation much to his joy and at the expense of jibes and jeers of their fellow travelers, most of the ladies wanted their services as beauty culturists, but Rev. Gantt set prices up so high they lost their chance. Bishop Parks gave Rev. J. S. Wilson a one-half pound cake, which came to Rev. Wilson at an unhappy time, to wit: 12 oclock midnight! Dr. Wilson ate until he had his fill. There is no telling how long his consequent illness would have lasted if the doctor, who came to see Mr. Winters, had not paid him a professional visit. By the time we reached Kansas City, Dr. Wilson was as chirp as ever and Mr. Winters better. Rev. William D. Miller, the distinguished pastor of Towne Avenue, has conducted the religious service on the train and his sweet singing has been a joy. Mrs. Miller made immediate improvement after leaving the hot sands of Arizona and is a favorite with the 12 ladies of the party. At Kansas City, Mrs. Winters was met by Prof. R. S. Jackson and his charming wife, Antionette (Young) Jackson, with whom she enjoyed a brief visit. Rev. T. W. Goerne, Dean of Flipperkay-Davis College joined the delegation at Kansas City. At Kan. City we saw Dr. L. K. Williams the very eminent Baptist divine of Olivet Church, Chicago who was a passenger on our train to Chittoq. Dr. Williams was returning from a trip to Texas. Miss Dorothy Ingraham of San Bernardino, was made secretary to our party and Dr. J. W. Price of San Diego, chairman, en route. Bro. Steve Burnett, in charge of the car and well known as one of the strongest members of our church in the west, won the hearts of the entire party by his never tiring kindness and constant attention to every detail. Bro. Burnett is everywhere at all times of the day and night and fills every request, large or small. We arrived in Chicago safely Saturday morning and found daylight saving time in effect. Bro. Winters was bad off with his foot and went under a doctor's care. He was able to be out Monday and was much better. The 18th district organized Saturday, Rev. Price was made sergeant at arms, Dr. L. J. Johnson, chairman and Dr. Miller, treasurer. The lay college organized Monday in a stormy session. Tyler named, marshall. Sunday was a great day at the St. Regiment Armory where session is being held. Bishop Gregg preached a great sermon in the morning. Bishop Brooks at 3 p. m. and at night Quinn Chapel Chair and other choir gave a sacred concert. Fine! Sweet singing! But there is a great choir at Towne Avenue and none surprises our own Elmer Bartlett! How I should have liked to have seen him before his choir last night at the Armory! General Conference opened Monday at 9 a. m., Bishop Decker Johnson preached the opening sermon. Pearl Lowery-Winters was on the platform this morning and sang "Shine On Me," the congregation joining in the chorus. The candidacy of Rev. Wilson looks good at this time, and for Dr. Miller, we hope to get a nice complimentary vote. Rev. F. Jesse Peck, looks tired and is fasting. Rev. Will Peck is out for Bishop. None can tell yet who are really "strong candidates." My guess is that Rev. Norah Williams and Rev. Davis of Baltimore, together with Dr. R. R. Wright Jr. have a good chance.

Novel Free Employment Bureau in City EMERGENCY EMPLOYMENT BUREAU ACCOMPLISHING GREAT WORK TO THE EDITOR. Honorable Sir: May we ask your cooperation and resistance in a matter that vitally effects every investor in Los Angeles, as well as every man and woman interested in the proud place we have, made for our city in the eyes of the nation? So far our city stands almost alone among the larger cities of the country, in that, we have not, so far, found it necessary to maintain bread lines, auction blocks or soup kitchens for distressed citizens. But unless some provision is made, immediately, we may find it necessary to take such measures to care for those who, through no fault of their own, are unable to care for themselves and families. This Bureau has been organized to deal particularly and exclusively with the unemployed heads of families who are citizens of Los Angeles and vicinity. It is supported entirely by free will donations. There are no salaries or commissions paid and no charge is made for any service rendered. The necessary work: clerical, janitor and etc. is efficiently handled by these unemployed men and women while waiting for a job, when one of the crew is placed in employment someone else steps in to fill the niche, thus keeping the machinery moving smoothly and efficiently 24 hours a day seven days a week. Hundreds of the cases among the 21 thousand registered here are in actual want of the necessities of life, gas bills, light bills and rent. It is for such as these that the Bureau, unified of the N. A. A. C. P. Good music. Admission 25 cents. Watch for the "Hullahoo." Don't miss "Hulabalooo." Pay your N. A. A. C. P. pledge to the girl of your choice. They count as votes also memberships to the National and subscriptions to the Crisis. For information call Mrs. M. G. Patton AX 9660; Mrs. C. Clopton, dor the sanctions of its advisory board, is giving a benefit "Hard Times" Dance and Entertainment, 100% of the proceeds of which are to be used to alleviate in some measure the suffering of our fellow man. Only in this way can we stem the avalanche of unfavorable criticism ever ready to be launched forth upon the slightest prosecution, up Los Angeles and Southeh California. We are convinced that, with the aid of the editorial staff of your paper, and others, who are in a position to mould public sentiment, we can make this benefit one of the most outstanding successes ever attempted in our fair city. The cause is a most worthy one. Those people are deserving of all that can be done for them, won't you help? Won't you cooperate to the extent of running this matter in your valued paper? We have made a good start, we have demonstrated that it can be done and now we come to you as an individual, as an editor, as a man who loves his fellow man, for help. Thanking you in advance for these 21 thousand families, we beg to remain. Your most sincerely, EMERGENCY EMPLOYMENT BUREAU. By: Edna W. Rogers, Executive Emergency Employment Bureau. 212 S.

Then comes the Bureau of Pensions with 521 white employees and 60 Negroes given us slightly over a ten percent representation. Among those in genuinely consequential positions in Uncle Sams service who may be found in this Bureau dictating and composing letters that contain department rulings upon pensions claims are LLIB four group. Two of the number are LLIB two group. Two are Jollie R. Combs and Edward Webster. They with William W. McCary are listed as examiners. All three are experts on questions involving legal widowhood, soldier service, dependance and the host of related problems that must find consideration according to regulations and office practice in the granting of claims to pension rights. Their work demands nature judgement and calm consideration. Dr. David A. Lane, Medical Reviewer, since 1890 is found in this same Bureau where he passes upon pathological questions involved in pension claims. He is charged with reconciling the allegations of claimants with the reports of examining surgeons. His is a delicate and responsible service making use of the knowledge the degrees of A. B. and M. D. Key men among that important group who compose the personnel of Howard University are of course Dr. Mordecal Johnson. President who since June 30th has directed the destinies of the University. He is an authority on science, medicine, law and theology. Associated with him in the conduct of the business of a University whose appropriation provides for a tremendous expenditure of funds which must be carefully handled is Dr. Emmet J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer whose history is too well known to require recounting. At Freedmans Hospital one finds several men who have contributed to the sum total of the medical knowledge of the world and who command respect for their attainments. One of these is Dr. William A. Warfield, surgeon in chief since 1901 after serving in a minor capacity from 1895. He supervises the handling of 4,000 indoor patients and more than 10,000 visiting patients annually.

He has charge of the labratories, give X-Ray treatments, conducts research work and makes and interprets all radiographe. He is an A. B. and an M. D. Nor is Dr. Hurst the only scientist in the Department service, for returning to the Interior Building one meets William B. McClendon who entered the government service as a laborer later becoming a messenger clerk and by dint of study prepared himself to assume charge of the photostatic work to which he was assigned in 1926. With his three assistants he photographe all records, mats, plates and charts, etc. required by the Department. The methods of development used are all approved by him.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT This is a follow up of the formal announcement in last week's issue concerning the opening of a Real Estate Office by Clara C. Hulbert, 1468 E. 20th Street. Since that announcement, we have made a number of successful trips to the Valley Truck Farms. Do you remember a few years back when you were begged to buy property on Central Avenue between 5th and 20th Sts., which opportunity you failed to take advantage of and for which you are now paying high rent and leases on property which you could have owned? Now in San Bernardino Valley Truck Farms which is only 60 miles from Los Angeles and a five minute drive from the heart of San Bernardino, we are now in a position to offer to the broad minded Race man a splendid opportunity to make a success by his past failures. A splendid location for home seekers and also a splendid opportunity for truck farmers. Furthermore, we need Drug Stores, Groceries, Markets, Barber Shops, etc. This is an opportunity of a life time for a man or woman concerned about the future welfare of himself or his loved ones. The land is subdivided into parcels or an acre or more and is sold at a reasonable price and on your own terms. An absolute guarantee of Title is issued with each deed. A large number of happy settlers are now on the property. Excellent schools up to the Junior College are provided. Water, light and telephone conveniences are in.

Traffic accidents kill a few thousands of men, women and children annually, causing the setting up of extensive safeguards for the protection of human life. A citizen is killed by assassins in a foreign land, and diplomatic relations between two nations are strained and the indignation of millions is aroused to the point of violent outbreak. An epidemic of infantile paralysis breaks out with the resultant loss of life of several hundred children, and the nation organizes every resource to combat the disease. But germ-carrying insects, which yearly cause the death of millions of human lives and destroy vast quantities of man's food supplies, attract the concern of one or two governmental departments, provoke an occasional "swat the fly" or "clean-up" campaign and disturb not the public's peace of mind. The mosquito and fly are the most destructive enemies of man. They convey to man malaria, sleeping sickness, cholera, typhoid and other deadly diseases. Other insects destroy wheat and cotton crops, murder man's livestock or contaminate food supplies. And the only defense the public makes against his most powerful and destructive enemies is to screen in his house and spray his fields and orchards.

Page—Six DEADLY ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened One, possibly two men in whom we Joseph M. Schenk himself is a limb have particular political interest, have and disciple of a cruelly persecuted COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON (Sacramento, Calif.) A leapord may fall in the dye not and for a while hide his spots, but no difference the color or texture of the cover, given time, they are bound to show. It is to be deplored that nationally as well as locally the Race Crials have a lot of toad scrappers who are barnacles on the ship of RACIAL PROGRESS; but no sense of ethics other than telling prent for office that "he controls the Negro vote" and "sap-headed candidates believe him. And yet no one is more to blame than the Negro newspaper which caters to the parasite because he can throw a dollar or two in the selection. We always admitted the late Mr. Jackson, who, when editor or the Los Angeles never would accept a candidate's money whom the paper could not conscientiously support. If we read aright our neighbor to the South, Los Angeles, has a barnacle of such proportions that it is astonishing that this "Ship" has made progress against "Diverse" current. This political parties have complex subordinates his sense of the pride, is contented with the crumbs just so he has to die. If, as alleged, he preferred to be "Jim Crowed" at a banquet given a celebration of a civic structure created by the collective manies of every Los the indignity, he should be branded as a racial pariah. Yet, who is the blame for the political push, or this sycophant? You men and you women, you newspapers who have accepted, you journalists who borrowed interest, and thus knowledge, the ship of Jelly Fish whom they used to despoll you. Yes, despoll you! He cause every dollar that accepted with a weight holding down the young min and the young women whose ambition, aspiration and awakened pride are achievedments are but the bird. Every achievement to racial humiliation every abasement of racial pride, is a reverting to that period represented by the person with the inferior complex at that banquet. There are a lot of, foes? "that should have been ostracized. The race would have been benefitted had a few of the characters now in the Spotlight been "still born." The coming leaders, our young men and women, who make the "New Negro," will have a stiff wail in the wake of racism. We have nacled old tubs who either through ignorance or sheer cunningness refuse to be educated to the modern ideal of progress. We are waiting anxiously for the day when the old order of things shall be past. When the full rights of the American citizenship be an assurance, but a reality. That day will come as long as one lota of the inferior exemple remains. The advent of young en and women, trained, adroit, conservative, courageous; who can counsel amely, will solve the problem. That is, if too many discouragements are not placed in the path. What some of us term hardy radicalism, the vision of the goal they hope to reach. Their discontent with present environment, of conditions to them unbearable. We would advise that any or those who are living in the past and cannot keep up with the procession of racial progress, fall back to the rear of the parade. If you cannot keep abreast with the current, throw up your army. Let the waters cover you. Don't allow a young army, fresh from our schools and institutions of learning. Better the spade was patted over your inert body. . . . Already some of our party enthusiasts are throwing their hats in the air hurling for this or that aspirant for a political office that will forget that there is any such thing as segregation. Jim-Crowm or racial discrimination because or color, when inducted into the military, there is a nummer of the circus parade, our boys fall over each other to see who will be first to say, "I carried water to the elephant" or "I polished up the harness for the donkey." They played up the Dyer Anti Lynching Bill as a racial football untill it was kicked threadbare. Political promises made prior to election may be made in good faith, personally, but ritter election things so shape themselves that the promises do not materialize. We have a recollection of some of the promises made late Bishop Walters by the late President Wilson. We doubt not they were made in good faith, and we yet believe that, personally, the late president was thoroughly of the mind that he could make every word good. But when the case was that he had not even immune from "petticoat" suggestion, because it was from that source that departmental racial segregation started; taken root, it grew, flourish and the ripened fruit of race humiliation is spattered all about the Capitol. Let's play the political game from the stand of American citizenship. Pick those candidates who are doing most for the progress of the nation. Let us play to the constructive statesmen. The men who strive to build our Boulder Dams." I irrigate the basin as a means for power for the services of millions. Senator Hiram Johnson did not promise any great racial innovations, and then forget them when the "Toga" was assured; rather, he has been a senator of California, and the nation. Not a man of promises, of action. a chance for the House of Congress, Oscar DePriest of Chicago is named to succeed the late Congressman M. B. Madden, nominated at the late primary. Nomination in the first Illinois district is equivalent to election. Rumor, is that Alderman George Harris of the Harlem district, New York, will receive the Republican nomination. The nomination in that district is NOT equivalent to an election. Conditions in the two districts are in some instances similar and in others, especially co-operation, very disimil- . . . There is quite a controversy as to whether there is a future life between Sir Arthur Kethr, scientist and Sir Olivier Lodge. Sir Kethr says: "Medical men can find no ground for believing that the brain is a dual organ—a compound of substance and spirit—Spirit and Soul are manifestations of a living brain just as the flame is the manifest spirit of a burning body and the spirit function both flame and spirit cease to separate existence." All very well but we prefer to believe that the flame is a manifestation of the subtle something which we term immortality. A soothing beyond the ken or even the most erudite scientist. We see the results of electrical energy. We harden it, subserviate it to the needs of humanity, but aside from seeing the results of its existence we know nothing. So with immortality. The Turks are about to pass a law requiring the adoption of family names. Hecetofore a Turk has been satisfied with a simple Murtupha, Fatima or some name of Turkish derivation as common as our "Browns and sniths." Now some millions of them which choose to proin which will endow them with a family name. That in itself is a sign of national progress. Sunday, May 13th, designated as "Mothers' Day," was celebrated throughout the United States. Florists raised the price on Carnations; sermons preached; and laudations made on the "hand that rocks the cradle." Only the cradle is as extinct as the Rodo, and the hand that "rules the world." rules it through politics and women's clubs that offer a different kind of the mourning year-eater and today. Then, the training of the youth was an affair which devolved upon the family, most falling on the shoulders of the maternal half. Mother felt her responsibility. She felt as if the future career of John and Mary was hers to personally direct. But there is a notable difference in the serene countenance which the mother of the past day wore as she gathered her brood at knee and read from the Bible, expanding its meaning to the well-defined "modern" who leaves the care of her brood to outside influences. Let us hope that the recurrences of "Mothers' Day" will bring about a feeling of mother's greater responsibility. Letters of Appreciation For Editor's Stand "CITY RECORD 73 City Hall Boston MRS. C.

To day, on the 8th day of May 1928, my birthday, being, now 60 years of age, an adopted American citizen of German-Jewish heritage, by religion a tolerationist, I challenge Joseph M. Schenk, also an American citizen, a Jew and a multi-millionaire film producer of the so-named Citizens Committee, that arranged for the festivities in the public dedication of the New City Hall, to establish his moral right and his public usefulness in being an official party to the social-public segregation scheme or civic activities within early universalized dining hall, tolerant to all races, where the Negro race Committee of 3 gentlemen and 3 ladies were grossly indelicately, if not ruthlessly ushered around to a separate and openly sequestered table and thereby cut off from an imagined, nicar and cosmopolitan era of an all universal so-called and racially advanced equitably tolerant and mentally high-minded citizenship. and unaffairly maligned race and as the husband of the idealistic Norm Talmadge, acts in this case like a veritable moral Muscovite reactionary iniding in the bald, cold-hearted and intolerant insult that was meted out to the so-called coloured "members of this citizens committee." How such a man can fairly and harmoniously lead nearly 1-1.2 millions of heterosexuals by娶regarding in a quasipolitical infirmity, inaugurating hall, 6 highly intellectual and distinguished leading men and women of the Ethiopian people of this city and vicinity is a very hard humanity problem of popular ethics to solve. Nor should Christian Mayor Cryer and Hebrae scholar Schenk labie of such clearly anti-belum slaveholders insult upon the civil "and civil" management of the Bitmore Hotel for as real leaders of all the folks of this city. Cryer and Schenk should have been broad men and humanity champions of sufficient power and tact not to suffer to see 6 yallant representatives of the lipponly and nationally humanized and unchartily segregated within a popularly Christianized and officially free-living hall of erstwhile attempted solidarity unification of all of our citizens of a better, grander and nobler civic era of unity, progress and racial tolerance! How would Mayor Cryer like it to be segregated in a public demonstration at a table where only his privilocalized and circumscribe may eat? How would Sally circumscribe may eat? How would Sally handle a handful of Jews amongst dozens of Christians would be led to sit down upon a lone and characteristically selected Jew-table in a generalized dining hall that was patronized by the descendants of all races, creeds and cultures. Americans where the big part of Brown and Lincoln should prevail against Ku Kluxism and separatism. As a real citizen, a Jew and a 60 year old champion of the rights of the Negro race, I ask Mayor Cryer Joseph M. Schenk and their followers including the Biltmore hotel managers to explain why they were silent and neatly satisfied at the grotesque sight of the humiliation and ostracism of six brilliant and useful Negro leaders! Sagregation into separate districts is bad for the races, but worst of all is the tricky segregation of apparent outside unification in a public hall this is the desert of hats within an oast of a fearful attempted love; it is a fear of the terrible grimness "I could if I only" sound or I would if I only could. Terrrible are the Christians that trample upon the hearts and the brains of our suffering Negro brothers and women, but what kind of Jews are the lynx-like Israelites that support these oddly-soiling "Christian martyrs of angelic Los Angeles" who are perfectly justified in our noble shout for same and tolerance in this city. LOUIS MICHEL 2631 Mansfield Ave. Los Angeles, California May 15th 1928. MR. J. B. BASS, Editor. The California Eagle. 847 Central Ave. "Dear Sir: The attention of the people of Los Angeles in general has been with the California Eagle and the Pacific Dealer most deploring menace; the last issue of the California Eagle and The Pacific Dealer carried a headline story or the activities of some of our numerous public politicians and his brazen attempt to extort money from one of our wealthy business men, and to extort money from another. "Let it be understood, that the people are not unappreciative of the virginity of your paper. We, of this organization, are especially grateful." "This organisation, composed mainly of young men, was organized for emergencies or this nature. We as an organisation, the Ensa Club,"-intend, if others are negligent, to make it our duty to take the initiative in this sort of crises. Hence whenever any other group or organization or newspaper brings these unanticipated people, they automatically do so with our organization backing them up. "It is extremely hard to correctly state our appreciation in this matter, owing to the unusual condition of those who have so courageously taken on the initiative. Nevertheless, we salute you, Mr. Bass, who, in spite of the handicaps, have found it necessary to lead the people. Our hats are off to you, Mrs. Charlotta Bess, you have dignified and won additional respect for your entire sex, by this commendable leadership. "We hope that the people of our race do not leave the burden or lifting the race out of this condition of political rascality to the Editors of our two papers alone. Notwithstanding, if you should find yourself with your back to the well, remember that the organization is always ready to help in any situation where the welfare of the people is concerned. "With our commendation, we remain. "Yours very truly. "DYNAMIC CITIZENS CLUB, Dr. John W. Rout, Exec. E. Pluribus Guess Clarence Palmer 9318 Zamora Avenue Los Angeles, Calif. May 9, 1928 Mrs. Charlotte A. Bass, 847 So. Central Avenue. Los Angeles, California. Permit me to extend to you my heartfelt commendations for the fearless manner in which you have exposed a most despicable occurrence. I refer to the incident which occurred at the Blitmore Hotel luncheon on the occasion of the city's dedication of its new City Hall. To have a delegation of our repres- sative citizen treated with such disdain by those in higher places is an issue that none of us should attempt to evade or ignore. I greatly admire your courage and willingness not only in exposing the deplorable conduct or out city offences but likewise the sulpable and insaneable witch of Populus Thurray. The race could ill afford to lose such a fearless crusader as you, who in the face of gross oppression and persecution carry on with out faltering. Your endeavor to organize a political machinery for women is a great step forward and I am certain it will prove a witch of Populus Thurray. Trusting that in the fight for a common cause I may be or some service I remain. Very truly yours, Marshall Denton, Jr. CLEAN BUSINESS BY SADIE NERO-DAVIDSON That which is better than big business is clean business. To an honest man, the most satisfactory reflection after he has amassed his dollars, is not that they are many, but that they are clean. What constitutes clean business? The answer is obvious enough, but the obvious needs restating every once in a while. That has also made a profit for the other fellow. This is the most fundamental moral axiom in business. Any gain that arises from another's loss is dirty. Any business whose prosperity depends upon damage to any other business or to his or her people, is a crime. The general welfare. That is why gambling direct or indirect is criminal. When the milkman sells the housekeeper a quart of milk, or the butcher a pound of steak, the housekeeper is benefited quite as much as those who get her money. That is the type of honest clean business that helps everybody and hurts nobody. Of course as business becomes more complicated, it grows more difficult to clean it, and neither both sides are equally prospered. No principle is automatic, it requires sense, judgment, and conscience to keep clean, but it can be done never the less, if one is determined to maintain his self respect. A man that makes a habit of every deal he goes into of asking himself, "What is in it for the other fellow?" and who refuses to enter any transaction where his own gain will mean disaster to his people or some one else, can not go far wrong. The only really charitable table dollar is the clean dollar. wouldn't pull a string over a No-growth fence? No such type should be placed in office by the public. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. What we know sometimes scares us and swells our heads. Politics—This is a program of big objectives or organized power. Groups study, analyze their needs, opportunities and obligations and set themitee certain tasks and map out definite life circumstances. The political program of the Negro must be set up and handle in this way. Those who direct our political destinies must make the getting of justice for the whole groups, rather than the getting of jobs for themselves; their chief objective. Something must do to reach out to the will be so far reaching and valuable, that it will hearken the masses. The political party local or national that applies only a little salve to the wounds of a few sore followers, will fine the application ineffective, the relief temporary and the disease of disaffection, and the rebellion spreading. The Negro wants to use the ballot for that party that will wipe out these unjust conditions. Inter-racial good will does not mean a thine unless it has for its objective, the full recognition of personal worth and unrestricted public privileges. There is apprehension and fear in inter-racial understanding, simply because we have confused social rights with public privileges. In working for inter-racial understanding, we must make clear the difference. The Negro stands with a black banker in his hand, the 14th and 15th centuries in his history and wonders if the black working for inter-racial understanding are treating him thus. It is more necessary than these conditions be changed and that public sentiment be moulded in favor of such changes than it is to try to promote standing and good will through brick and stone and occasional conferences. I know where the trouble is; it is in the hearts of the American people, (for out of them are the issues of life) and not in their pocket books. What both races need is more teaching, in how to think straight on race relations and of more real action and less talk. Talk is necessary but it will hurt any cause if it is not backed up by definite courageous action. We are a young race. Our future is before us. It will not be long before the now dominant race will be able to, in the language of Booker T. Washington, we've been what we're race in folly and prodigality because we have not "been what we're gwine". We must not therefore, dissipate and thereby lose our mental economic and spiritual power faster than we can develop it. Looking from the McDonald College window, we saw the part our people played and the big tears of gladness; but had I walked in on them at the Biltmore dining room it would have brought tears of sadness. If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you would like to win but think you can't, it is almost a cinch that you won't. If you think you are unhappy you are. you've got to think you can't. You must be sure or yourself before you can ever win a prize. The man who wins is the man who thinks he can. He profits most who serves best. Friday, May 18, 1928 WEDDING BELLS WILL RING Monday afternoon a number of misses and young matrons gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph R.

MOVIE STAR WINS BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT A petite, pretty little brown girl strolled into Department 37 of the Superior Court last week to appear and defend herself in a $10,000 damage suit brought against her by an ardent admirer and pursuer of her affections in the person of one Sundar Singh, an Indian lawyer. The courtroom presided over by Junge Morgan Gilbrell, took on an air of the Orient as Sundar Singh presented a group of his countrymen who were there to assist him in his effort to be compensated for his unrequited lovemaking. After a fierce star of the cast, was Miss Essie McKinney, proprietress of the Washington Street Pharmacy, corner of Washington and Central, and a little movie star of much ability. With her were attractive young misses of her race who added grace and charm to the occasion and brought hand in the defense of their friend. After a lengthy drawn out trial replete with narrations of love, romance and adventure and everything else but conquest, the court was most impressed with the evidence and contention of the Defendant and therefore rendered judgment in favor of Miss McKinney. Mr. Singh was represented by Attorney A. H. Bittner, while Attorney Lewis K. Beeks looked after the interest of the victor, Miss McKinney. Regranted!

Test Case Looms in Virginia Racial Integrity Laws Richmond, Va. May 18—A test case in the effectiveness of the Virginia racial integrity law looms as Mrs Mary Hill Al Wood, a 24 year old white woman has appealed from a two year prison sentence imposed on her on a charge of intermarrying with Hamilton Wood, age 27, an alleged mullatto. Mrs. Wood claims that the statute has not proved that her husband is a Negro. The marriage and arrest took place in Lynchburg and Wood, was first arrested June 20, 1927 and a first trial last December resulted in a hung jury. The case has created much interest especially among those who opposed the passage of the bill. Counsel for the defense asserted that it would prevent marriage of children of Wood's three sisters who married white men. He further declared that Wood's race was never questioned in the church where he and his bride, who is a North Carolinian, attended. ```markdown ``` LINES TO MADAM FLORENCE COLLE-TOLBERT EVA CARTER BUCKNER.

Little Rock, Arkansas May 18 1928 —Wallace Townsend, an avowed lily white, was elected National Republican Committeeman of the Arkansas State G. C. P. at the state convention here Saturday. Townsend succeed, George L. Mallory who retired from the race. The newly-elected national committee-man 'prang in' dominies recently when he was mentioned as a possibility for the office of district federal judge. His lily-whitism caused his defeat, due to the opposition led by Judge Scipio A. Jones, and to the subsequent appointment of Governor Martineau a democracy. Whether or not his election as national committee-man will result, in a break in the ranks of the party is not known but is household gossip here that Judge Jones is not in harmony with the committee-man.

VOLUME 41 NEIL CLISBY vs. JOHN OLYMPIC, TU WALCOTT In what is billed as a battle between the champion of the West Coast and the leading contender, John Lester Johnson will try his guns against Neil Clisby next Tuesday night at the Olympic Auditorium. By virtue of the 3rd knock-out over Mack House list Tuesday all the leading heavyweights are eliminated with the exception of John Lester Johnson. Up until 5 o'clock Wednesday it was undecided whether to match 'Long PIC Tom" Haykins or Johnson against the Riverside demon but because of Hawkins' former loss to House it was decided that the big boy from the Bay Cities could give the champ the best run for the cash customer's money. Although Clisby is of championship colleague it is considered that John Lester will give him the battle of his life and he will have to use all his power and strategy to even get a decision over him.

TENNIS CHATTER Competition reigns supreme between Drs.V. C. Hamilton and W. E. Bailey, leading physicians and surgeons of the city. No not in their respective practices but merely in a friendly game of Tennis. I admire their tastes for diversion. Yes, when they are not on a professional call or busy otherwise, they are often on the tennis court together waving their old battle axes at each other. (Dr. Bailey seemingly gets the better of the match as a rule. Dr. Hamilton is a good sport when he is beaten for he merely grins by giving his accustomed royal ha, ha, which is fully in accord with Elie Wheeler Wilcox's, "It is easy enough to be pleasant when life goes by like a smile, but the man worth while is the man who will smile when everything goes dead wrong." However, Dr. Hamilton is not outdone all around, for he runs Dr. Bailey's extremely short legs off in the encounter. Here is hoping more of our professional men and women will take to the game. Mean while more power to Drs. Hamilton and Bailey. One of our fan recently bandaged up his left ear in order that, while in a game, his opponent might not think that his ear was not a Stop and Go Signal. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! (The comment hear after the above happened was that it would have been better to have had it thought that the above individual's unusually large protruding ear was a Go and Stop Signal without the bandage than to have a truce flag evident, signifying the completion of the War of 1812.) Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! (all names withheld for fear of a libel suit) Ha! Ha! Ha! The above was so good, friends, unorginal however, that I think I will sign off until next week with Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! COLN "Africana" Strikes Hard Times in "Show Me" State (By The Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo. May 15—"Africana," the theatrical company "headed by Ethel Waters, who is best known through her phonograph records as a "blues" singer, struck a financial smug during a week's engagement here at the Shubert-Rialto theatre last Wednesday night when the musicians walked out and refused to play. It was "draw night" for theatre folks. There was no money in the treasury to satisfy the demands of the performers. The company came to St. Louis without advance booking, after it had been stranded for a couple of weeks in Kansas City and finally got an engagement in Milwaukee. While in the latter city the manager of the St. Louis theatre informed the daily papers here that the engagement at the Shubert theatre had been cancelled and first page notices to that effect were published last Sunday morning, a few hours before the company was due to appear. The aggregation came in however, and opened last Sun. night. The performance did not come up to "big time" standard ($2 house) and the box office receipts gradually diminished. Shortly after the show started last Wednesday night, the musicians walked out and the show was stopped. There was nothing for the house managers to do but return the seat money to the patrons. The company was disbanded. Those who were not stranded returned to the "Sidewalks of New York". The show was under the management of Earl Dancer. DANCING PARTY One of the most brilliant affairs of the season was the dancing party given by Mr. and Mrs. Ivan J. Jones of 1314 W. 55th Pl. for a group of one hundred friends.

Los Angeles will be illuminated on Monday, May 28th, by the brilliant stars shining forth in "The Crimson Eye-Brows."
