P. 1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 Fireman in Daring Capture VOLUME 42 Fire RISKS LIFE TO SAVE OTHERS BY THE OBSERVER Mr. William McKinley Dixon, a fireman of Engine Company No. 30, keeps his ears atune not only for the great gong that rings out from time to time at his station, telling him in no uncertain terms that another occasion has arisen when he must do and probably die in order that other lives may be spared, but for danger that threatens the lives of other people anywhere and anytime. Hence a few days ago when he helped to capture a mobster and gave others from possible death, by injuries, prison and with courage knows neither color nor color. And Regional Manager, A. D. Borden has called the attention of Chief Scott to this act of courage on the part of Mr. Dixon. June 1, 1928 "Mr. I. J. Scott Jiffy Fire Department. Los Angeles, at Cinnah. Dear Mr. Scott. I want to call your attention to an act of courage, tried by a member of your department Tuesday morning, May 29th, 1928. "Mr. William McKinley Dixon, a fireman of Engine Company No. 30 was visiting the offices of the United States Veterans' Bureau, at 420 South San Pedro Street, and while at this office a maniac ran amuck with a loaded revolver, and Mr. Dixon, at the risk of his own life, assisted in overpowering this man, thereby saving others from bodily harm and possibly being killed. "This act was voluntary on the part of Mr. Dixon as he was not in the room in which this altercation occurred, but the devotion to duty and protection of life and property seemed to be uppermost in his mind and caused him t oact as he did. "Acts of this kind should be brought to your attention, as it demonstrates very conclusively that a man of this eype can be depended on in an emergency and that his first and only thought is for the protection of others. "Very truly yours, A. D. BORDEN, "Regional Manager, "Los Angeles, Calif." YOUTH WINS MEDAL At Del Ray, a new Educational Institution is about to be erected.

No other worker could be found than Mrs. Reeves and she will throw all her customary energy into this important office in order to build up the membership to its highest peak. Immediately after the close of the conference a big drive will be put over for memberships. It is the intention to acquire 10,000 members. DR. BAGNALL TELLS SURPRISING FACTS Before a large crowd at Second Baptist Church last Sunday, Dr. Robert W. Bagnai brought news of stirring import to the meeting which was presided over by Mrs. M. J. Patton. Arriving here from a tour of the South he said of the improvements being wrought through the work of the N. A. A. C. C., principally a better and growing understanding between the two races, better educational facilities, improvement in hygiene, and housing conditions, and not only a more general use of the ballot by Negro voters, but more cooperation in some states from the white people.

Constable Held For "Unjustifiable Killing" (By The Associated Negro Press) Jackson, Miss., June 8.-James White and Alex Bonds were shot to death by C. W. Foster, white, a local constable Sunday when Foster attempted to raid an alleged gambling game. Foster has been held on two charges of murder without bond by Judge Porter of the circuit court. Foster says that after completing a liquor raid he happened to pass the house where he suspected gambling was carried on. He demanded entrance and shot when the light was extinguished, fearing he would be attacked. Judge Porter declared the shooting unjustifiable. MOVE STARTED TO STOP LOAN SHARKS (By The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., June 12—Investigators for the various women's organizations in this city report that the rate of interest charged by load sharks to the poor and ignorant run from six hundred to one hundred and seventeen per cent. An effort is being made to get a bill through the state legislature to close them up, or compel them to accept the legal rate of interest—eight per cent a year. THE MARRIAGE of Miss Mathilda A. Yockel (white) and Alfred Hodge (Colored) was the culmination of a clean-cut romance that brought about a union between two highly cultured Americans of different races. And we are inclined to ask, what does it matter, or "whose business is it?" "And God so loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son"—Love is the strangest force in the world, and the fact that our Creator was willing to give all to demonstrate the power and depth of man's greatest emotions, tells us how little we understand about the real meaning or significance of love with reference to the attraction of one individual toward another. Scientists tell us that males born under a certain planet are attracted to females born under certain other planets—however, these sages who write on the earth but center their gaze in the stars, have never been able to give any scientific reason why a dark man should not be attracted to a white woman or vice versa. And yet certain states of the United States, a Christian nation take it upon themselves to pass what they call a state law prohibiting dark men from a lawful union with white women or a white man from marrying a colored woman. But we are Christians. We preach about God's love for man—not white men, black or red men; but just men—so we expect more from God than we are willing to accord our fellowman. We say that the greatest privilege enjoyed by man in any Country, Republic, Kingdom or Empire is his right to full and complete citizenship. infidel, agnostic, atheist and Christian admit that the Kingdoms of God was established before nations and countries came into being—and we fancy that it was because of the fullness of God's love that we were created. Now, why should one or a collection of these children of our Father who was and is love, attempt to change His plan by saying to one of his fellow creatures; I am master over you, and I shall tell you how to direct your ways, and even your soul's desires. We look through the maze or false teachings as to the inferiority of one race or the superiority of another race and wonder if the mist will roll back and we shall see each other as our Master sees us, and if we shall be known as we are—The love Children of God. Or shall we stumble on loving some and hating others because we consider them neither our race nor kind. ISSUES CLUB CALL Oakland, Calif. DEAR CO-WORKERS: We are now issuing the call to our Twenty-Second Annual Convention of the California State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs to be held in Calvary Baptist Church, corner of Crosby and Julian Streets, San Diego, Calif., June 20th to 23rd. We are holding our Convention these early June dates for the benefit of our conventional delegates who will attend the National Convention of the N. A. A. C.

All taxes should be in the hands of our Financial Secretary, Miss Mary Reed, 1507 1-2 East Adams street, Los Angeles, before June 1st. Do not forget our Young Women's and our Junior Departments. Let us together study intensively our educational, social, economic and civic problems in California, with the idea of becoming more resourceful in our community life. Under our caption: "Deeds Not Words," we must not become individualistic but have group consciousness for racial growth through greater contact and understanding in the present great search for the Holy Grail of Peace that surpasses all understanding, toward which all women's organizations, nationally and internationally, are being focused. May we enter into our deliberations asking Divine guidance and inspiration throughout our Convention, enabling us to put over such a program that we shall journey to our great Biennial of National Association of Colored Women's Clubs at Washington, D. C. July 27th to August 3rd, determined to redeedicate our lives to the completion of the task before us in The Name of Ours Creator, the great persuasive force back of every good and perfect contribution to the human earth. ```markdown ``` RAILROAD CLATTER By Joe Rakestraw One of the most important contributions to the activities of the week, was the Second Annual Dance of the S. P. Dining Car Local No. 582, held at the beautiful 15th and Main Street Dancing Academy. The S. P. boys are known for their Gala like parties. The affair created considerable excitement and pleasure for in addition to the fine music played by Elkins and Vaughn's Syncopators, every one twitched the fantastic steps to the wee hours of the morning. With a registration of delegates from all over the United States and foreign nations, the World's Sunday School Convention to be held here July 11th to 18th inclusive, is expected to be the largest single event in Southern California this year. This is according to advises received by local officials of the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Santa Fe which are planning to run a number of special trains from points in the East and South. Registrations are being received and it is expected that the registration goal of 7,000 will be reached before the opening. Several of the greatest Sunday School leaders from all over the world will attend the convention. MONSTER ENGINES PULL FAST TRAIN Nearly all or the order of the ten Giant Model 3700 passenger Locomotives designed and built by the Baldwin Works at Philadelphia for the Santa Fe in the swift handling of its fleet of transcontinental trains on the mountain divisions have been delivered and placed in service. These engines, the largest, fastest and most powerful of the type ever built, have drive wheels over six feet high and pull heavy trains of fourteen or more coaches a distance of 637 miles without change except crews. FIRES FATAL SHOT Jessie Ellison, waiter, employed by the Southern Pacific R. K. Co., fired three shots at his estranged wife as alighted from a "B" car, Tuesday morning in front of Bruces Pharmacy at 12th and Central Ave. Two of the shots took effect. Thinking he had been successful in his effort Ellison drove his car to a nearby alley and fired two shots into his body, Ellison is in a local hospital in a critical condition. PULLMAN PORTER PASSES Willis McDaniels, veteran porter, departed this life Monday evening at Oliveview Sanitarium. Illness of a prolonged nature had caused McDaniels friends to intercede for his admission into this sanitarium. The deceased leaves a wife and eight children to mourn his loss. The remains are at the Angelus Funeral Parors. The funeral will probably be held Friday or Saturday the same being conducted by his old friends J. L. Hill. PULLMAN PORTERS TO STRIKE TODAY Unless the president of the United States intervenes through the Mediation Board the Pullman Porters thruout the United Saes will walk off the trains Friday noon. A strike having been called by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters because of the repeated refusal of the Pullman Company to deal with or give the men any consideration, whatever. The Pullman Porters' strike will constitute a real emergency as it will be impossible for the company to operate its cars without porters. The various Unions of the American Federation of Labor and the Big Four are backing the porters in their fight. HERE AND THERE H. McPike was seen on the lower end of the Avenue in a heated argument with a member of the Hebrew family.—From all appearances United States money was involved. Porter P. J.

Charley has a brick to hurl better than a dog's tail on fire and believe me he can hurl it harder than Cressar's hattering rams too. This is on the level, folks, for the writer observed him practicing enthusiastically tells week and oh, the shots he put over! They were extremely appalling. Florence Cadrez and Ronald Wharton both are resorting to the playing of tennis, of course for pleasure, and diversion, primarily to change slightly their physical appearance. Florence possesses a little too much "Lantas demiquelipum" better known as fat or weight, while Ronald does not possess enough. The writer caught them on the Jefferson High counts this week together.

"In Abraham's Bosom Well Acted by Gilpin (By The Associated Negro Press) Cleveland, Ohio, June 8.—Ju Abraham's Bosom," the 1927 Pulitzer Prize Play of Paul Faule took on new life and meaning the week of May 27, while being rendered as the last play or the season by the Gilpin Players, an amateur dramatic club, composed of 35 young Negro women and men of Cleveland. The cast was exceptionally well chosen, and each player acted his part with sympathy and understanding. Mr. Fitzhugh Woodford took the part of Abraham, and Mise Olive Hale and Mrs. Hazel Mountain Walker supported him with leading parts. Each night the Karamu Theatre, the Gilpin's own theatre, was filled to its capacity and before the week was half over, tickets for the whole week were sold out. The audiences each night were composed of white and colored, and so enthused were the white patrons over the show that it is being said the show will be seen In The Little Theatre (which is real but written in the latest edition the downtown section of Cleveland.) The players have scored many su- cesses this season among them "Sup Up" by Paul Green, "Rider or Dreams" by Ridgely Torrence, and "Ice Bound" Keep the Keys Handy, Advice to Motorists More frequently used than any other keys, those which unlock various features of the automobile—transmission, ignition, spare tire and the like—deserve the most prominent places on the motorista's key ring. Giving them such position makes for efficiency. An excellent practise used by many far-sighted car owners is to place the ignition and transmission keys at the extreme ends of the key-holder. In the next two places, the spare tire and door keys are placed. The method is simplicity itself.

LYONS SOUTH LOS ANGELES NEWS--- CLUB DOINGS --- CHURCH AF FAIRS --- SOCIAL ACTIVITIES ```markdown ``` age—Two ORGANIZATIONS The Citizens' Council and Industrial League met Tuesday evening at the Heffin Mfr. Co., plant, 2330 Santa Ann Blvd. A large number was present at the meeting. A fine program had been arranged for the meeting. Mr. Fred C. Williams, Editor of the Pacific Defender, spoke from the subject: "Co-operation." He said in part co-operation has been the means of building great Institutions, cities and even nations, and that our nation, the greatest in the world is largely a result of the spirit of co-operation that exists among the American people, and that this spirit of co-operation that is becoming more evident among the members of our race is sure to bring success e the Negro in his endeavor to emancipate himself from his present economic condition and cited the building of the Heffin Manufacturing plant as an evidence of the truthfulness of his statement. Atty. Frank A. Laws, spoke from the subject: "What is Expected of the Business and Professional People, by the Common People in General." In his address he pointed out that while it is expected that the business and Professional People take the leadership in directing the affairs of our people that the success and progress of the race depends on lifting the masses to a higher plane of citizenship and living, and that the business and Professional people owe it to the common people in general to give to the other members of the race their cooperation, service, and best effort to improve the condition of the masses. He also gave to the audience the information that Negroes in Los Angeles have an invested capital or approximately thirty-five million dollars and that they have more than five million dollars on deposit in banks and other financial institutions that should be put to use in building up businesses and industries for the race. Mr. Emory V. Crain spoke from the subject: "The Black Man's Contribution to the Progress of Civilization." This address was a very rare treat which showed that the Black Peoples of the world were the first to start the races of mankind on the road to civilization, and that the Negro by no means has been a parasite on American civilization, but has played well his part in every step that this nation has taken in its march of progress. Mr. J. E. Spaulding, Vice-Pres. of the Hefflin Mfg. Co., was introduced and made remarks. He introduced Mr. J. B. Bass, Editor of the California Eagle, who in his usual way held the audience spell-bound as he pictured to them the accomplishments and possibilities of the race. On recommendation of the Executive Committee, the Council voted to put a float in the N. A. A. C. Parade; July 3rd. A committee of five men and five women were appointed to work out the plans with the Executive committee. * * * The Knights and Daughters of honor or turned out in large numbers at their annual sermon held at Macedonia Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. A splendid program was rendered. Among the number to receive special mention was the address by Mrs. E. A. Waner, Imperial Deputy, who stressed the need of the organization doing something in a very tangible way to improve the economic condition of our people by providing some places of employment for our young people finishing from our high schools and universities. Mrs. Rosa Harris and Mrs. Glaine Rhodes delighted the audience with Solo numbers. Rev. L. M. Curtis preached a very forceful sermon and stressed the need of united effort on the part of all to improve the general condition of the people and stimulate a higher interest in the higher things of life. Mrs. E. A. Warner, Imperial Deputy; Mrs. Cora Johnson, Regent; Mrs. Annie Denis, Secy., the chief officers of this splendid order. SOCIAL HAPPENINGS That part of South Los Angeles, formerly known as Watts is midway between the main business district of Los Angeles and the harbor. As it is evident the City will continue to grow toward the Ocean and some day will reach the Harbor in its expansion, it can readily be seen that this district will some day be the great business and industrial center of the city. People of our group who have sufficient foresight and vision and are purchasing property in this district are making a wise investment. City improvements are expensive, but they add materially to the value of the property assessed. South Los Angeles in this respect is fortunate in that the streets are wide, the majority of which are paved and well lighted. There is however, one thing needed to further stimulate the phene nominal progress of our community and that is proper sewer connections. Recently a main sewer was put in on So. Compton Ave., which in time will serve a large area for residential purposes, but as yet no connections to residences have been made as the city has not as yet provided an outlet. While we of course can't run the city's business, it might help if a committee was appointed from this community to wait on the City Officials and see what could be done in this matter. The last lap on So. Central Ave. is being paved which will connect Central Ave. with Redondo Blvd., and hence a direct route to the harbor. When this pavement is completed So. Los Angeles will have four main arteryways to the ocean—Alameda Blvd., Wilmington Ave. So. Compton Ave. --- If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened and So. Central. These four artery-ways will carry a constant stream of automobiles and other traffic from Los Angeles to the Beach cities. Two of these important streets at present are rather thickly lined with people of our group engaged in business, who are really he pioneer business people in this district, for many of them started their businesses when there was little o be expected and others did not care to come. But since this community has grown so rapidly other people are establishing a number of businesses on these streets and in some cases are causing those of our people to close their doors. One thing, however, the Negro in business will have to learn sooner or later and the sooner the better, that in these times when the struggle for economic existence is becoming more acute, that people are going to spend their money where they can get the most for it and receive courteous treatment. The little corner store with only a few good on the shelf, that represents a small investment owned and operated by one man cannot hope to survive in the community where the big chain stores are being operated. What we really need is for Negroes to co-operate and combine their efforts in order to be able to meet competition and render efficient service to the public. MEMORIAL DAY - EXERCISES AND REMINISCENSES BY CHAS. MING- GUS, SPANISH AMERICAN WAR VETERANS Captain E. L. Baker, Camp No. 71, Department or California, United Spanish War Veterans, all took part in the Memorial Day exercises at Sawtelle on Decoration Day. Both Captain E. L. Baker Camp No. 71 and Auxiliary took part in the parade, from the home to the cemetery. The parade began promptly at 8:30 A. M. The Camp and Auxiliary also took part in the parade at Exposition Park at 1:45 P. M. Colors being massed in both parades. We the Veterans of all American Wars owe it to our Comrades who have passed on as a patriotile duty to keep their names before the American Citizens, and in a fitting manner hon or their memory for the great sacrifices they have made on each Memorial day. We are a part of this great American Republic and have proven our citizenship and loyalty to the Government in that many of the race have bled and died on every battlefield in every war in which this nation has taken a part, and at no time have we been traitors or allowed the old flag to trail in the dust. I myself served in Company "A" 24th infantry under General Kent. Commanding the 1st Division of the 5th Army Corps, which included 2nd, 6th, 9th, 10th, 13th, 16th, and 24th Infantry, also the 71st New York, who took San Juan Hill. On the morning of July 1st in the midst of the battle, I found myself going to the aid of a wounded officer commanding Company "A" 9th Infantry, who was shot and called to his comrades not to let him fall. I went to him and raised him to his feet, and was carrying him out of the range of the fire, but he died in my arms. No one knows the true feeling of comradeship unless he has had this heart-felt touch. It means so much to me the word "comrade" and it really should mean more than it does to everyone who took part in that conflict for it is indeed a Brotherly test while on the battlefield, but is often forgotten after the smoke of he battle is cleared away. Mr. G. W. Williams has rented Buford's Garage, corner E. 108th St. and So. Compton Ave. Mr. Williams is a Mechanic of many years' experience, having worked at the Graham Paige Service Station, 4517 S. Vermont Ave. for fifteen years. He was also employed by the Long Brake Airplane Co. He will do general repair work on all makes of Automobiles and invites his friends to call on him at his new location. ```markdown ``` Mr. F. T. Brawley, 1517 E. 108th St. owner and operator of the Tuskegee Cabinet Shop, 4912 Compton Ave., has one of the most successful businesses in his line to be found anywhere in the city. Mr. Brawley has several men employed in his shop where various lines of furniture and cabin work is turned out for some of the wealthiest families in the city. It is an inspiration to any one to visit this shop and see the class of products being turned out. This is another evidence that efficiency is the only thing that counts in these days. ```markdown ``` Mr. Robert Cox, who came to Los Angeles several years ago, instead of looking for a job, decided that he would make his own job. He went into the junk business and has built up a splendid trade. --- Leitengen & Jenkin, cleaners and dryers, 11509 Wilmington Ave., are operating a first class cleaning and dry shop and are enjoying a large patron age from satisfied customers. The plant is well equipped with modern appliances and is prepared to serve the public in a very efficient manner. They have a delivery system to call for and deliver goods. --- Mr. C. Jackson, 11143 So. Compton Ave. has been in the shoe repairing business for more than twenty years and does good work at reasonable prices. His is the only shoe repairing shop in this immediate vicinity and since we wear out as many if not all of our group, if the people would take their work to him he would undoubtedly d a large business. The parades staged Monday by the David Starr Jardian High School and the Elementary schools of So. Los Angeles in the interest of the School Bond campaign was indeed an impressive as well as an inspiring sight. The students and the children have certainly done their bit to make the campaign a success. Rev. C. H. Toney, principal of Vallejo Institute, Vallejo, Calif. and Miss Slater, former teacher at this school were visitors at Grant Chapel A. M. E. Church Sunday morning. Both made remarks concerning the work being done at the Institute, which was well appreciated by the congregation. He returned to Vallejo. Monday morning accompanied by his daughter and Ethel Cox, the daughter of Mr. Robert Cox, who is entering school in the Institute. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Weber called on Rev. Jones at the parsonage Sunday afternoon. Mr. Landis Sharp of Seattle, Washington, was a visitor in So. Los Angeles, last week. Rev. Jones, pastor of Grants Chapel Church received word from Mrs. C. R. Jones, the pastor's wife, who is visiting in Dallas, Texas. Mrs. Jones is well and enjoying her trip fine.

Davis is the President and Mrs. Sanford, Secretary. --- Mrs. Sherman States of Bakersfield, Calif., formerly of Phoenix, Ariz., and Mrs. I. S. Cox of Mexico City, spent several weeks with Mrs. Olevia Constant at their beautiful home, 1468 E. 110th St. and left the city Monday morning. Mrs. A. Washington, E. 11th Pl. passed away very suddenly Saturday morning. June 2nd. Mrs. Washington was taken suddenly ill at her home with a stroke of paralysis and died in a few hours.

Jones, officiating --- On Wednesday evening, May 20th the home of Mrs. Viola Crawford, 2086 E. 110th St. was the scene of a social gathering. Many friends were present to enjoy the hospitality of the splendid hostess, Mrs. Viola Crawford. After the jubilant entertainment that was greatly enjoyed by all, the guest was served generously to chicken salad, dainty sandwiches, ice cream sherbert and two kinds of cakes. The guests included many of the well known citizens of So. Los Angeles, among whom were: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Buford, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Green, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Enbree, Mrs. Catherine Tutson, Mr. Thadeus Taft Sr., Mr. Leo Buford, Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Eggleston and many others. Mr. and Mrs. Ford on E. 112th St. gave a dinner party in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, who will leave for the south in a few days in their Packard automobile. Mrs. Smith on E. 105th St. will remodel her home on E. 114th St. in the near future. * * * * Miss Ware from Santa Barbara California, is visiting Mrs. S. C. Leake 2168 E. 116th St. * * * * Mrs. L. G. Eggleston, is spending a few days in San Diego, Calif. CHURC HNEWS MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. L. M. Curtis, Pastor Sunday School was very good and well attended. 13 teachers were present, out of the 14 groups. That for itself was a very splendid showing for this Sunday School. Mrs. R. W. Bledsoe, very efficient teacher of Senior girls (division 2) is no wleading the S. S. classes. The name of their car is "The Packard." The thirteen classes are following. The morning services were splendid and largely attended. This was the day of Covenant and "The Lord's Supper." At 3 o'clock the Knights and Daughters of Honor had their Annual Sermon. The sermon was preached by our Pastor, was a masterpiece and an inspiration to all present. 7:45 found our pastor again at his post of duty. Members seemingly a little fatigued from all day services, came out in full number and witnessed the closing services of the day. We are asking the Pastors, their members and friends of our city to visit "The Old Folks Home". Prayers and songs will brighten and cherish their souls and money will help to preserve their bodies; so we can all do something. Mrs. Lila Gilliam, the worthy and faithful matron, will be pleased to have you call and give encouragement in any way the spirit directs you. Mr. Robert Collins is reported improving very nicely, enjoying the change of climate and health baths as well. He is in Elsinore and will be glad to welcome his friends up to see him.

Jones, Pastor As usual large congregations worshiped at all services last Sunday. The Sunday School, under the leadership of its efficient Superintendent, Bro John W. Hale, is making wonderful progress. Sunday was Class Day and the members of the various classes were seated together. The Pastor preached a short sermon and the meeting was turned into a general class and testimony meeting. This meeting was very helpful and inspiring and was greatly enjoyed by all who participated. Rev. C. H. Tony, Principal of Vallejo, Institute, Vallejo, Calif., and Miss Slater, former teacher in this school spoke concerning the work being done at the Institute. At 7:30 P. M. the church was filled to capacity. As there was a large number of young people present, the Pastor spoke from the subject: "The Way to True Success in Life." The Young Peoples Choir of thirty voices furnished the music. Grant Chapel is truly proud if its Young People's choir, and its splendid Director, Bro. L. G. Eggleston. The report on the Building Fund was excellent. It is evident the way the members and friends are supporting the Building Fund Program that it will not be many months before we shall see a new church being erected. There were two additions to the church during the day. Next Sunday being Children's Day the Pastor will presach a special sermon to parents and children, at the eleventh o'clock service. Parents are asked to bring their children to Church wilt htm next Sunday. At the evening service the Sunday School will give the Children's Day Program.

Who's Who At Valley Truck Farms A little more than two years ago, the first far-sighted purchasers settled at "Valley Truck Farms," a rich, fertile Tract, just sixty miles from Los Angeles and a four-minute ride from San Bernardino. Since that time, others, about 200 in number, realizing the advantages of getting in on the ground floor, have purchased acreage in this fertile Tract. To contact these people is to meet faces radiating with happiness, peace and contentment. They express themselves as being absolutely satisfied with their investment, and heartily declare they would not exchange their lot even for anything on Wilshire Boulevard. They are tillin', planting, and improving the soil. Beautiful gardens of corn, lettuce, strawberries and alfalfa greet your approach. Not only do truck gardens exist in abundance, but many rabbits, and poultry of all kinds are being raised. In fact, the entire atmosphere breathes prosperity and contentment. Modern and attractive bungalows are being built, a modern grocery store is nearing completion and other business concerns are to be established soon. You can readily see that the future prospects of Valley Truck Farms are bright indeed with many possibilities for our people. To fully appreciate the natural beauty and resources of "Valley Truck Farm," one must see it for one's self—and to see it is to desire to possess some of it immediately. Lots of from one-half to two and one-half acres may be had on reasonable terms. Why not get hold of some of this valuable land now, cultivate and care for it, and in the future it will take care of you. Among some of the first purchaser are the following: Mr. Lem Rily; Mrs. C. C. Welch; Mr. Jas. F. Bryant and Mrs. Clara C. Hulbert. Ask either one of the first purchasers whether or not his investment was worthwhile, and I can assure you an emphatic answer in the affirmative. Come and do with us on our next trip to the beautiful Valley Truck Farms. Will take you at your own convenience with free transportation.

By Week To go,to New Orleans is to stop & once intd an Old World atniosphere of culture, charm, cosmopolitanism. It is 40 essentially not « typichl American city, elther northern or southern that its delight in unwearing, like the fra fgrance of rare perfumes, ‘The musical atmospneré of New Orleans Js one of its chief charms. We are reminded that grand opera on the North American continent began here ‘and hes been for over a century the common fare of the natives; that some of our foremost musical genius es hailed from this city, as well a some of the most striking of the folk songs and dance rhythms of the Ne gro, later vulgarized and popularized Musically dne personality for years dominated New Orleans. For forty years the outstanding figure in the musical and aftistic life of the city was William J. Nickerson, whos¢ death a few months ago was such & shock to the entire community, white and black. His biography is a musical history of the Negro in New Orleans for the past generation He was bort in New Orleang in 1865; and educated in the city, graduating from Straigh University. He studied music, violin piano, solfeggio, under Prof. L’Enfant the veterai director of the orchestrs lof thé French Opera. To say that you have studied under Prof. L’Enfant wa’ an open gesame to the musical worl of a generation ago. Mr. Nickersor was an apt pupil, and it was sot long before he was organizirig orchestras, arranging concerts, directing the mu sical life of the city, urging his scores of music pupils to make of their mu: sic a living, pulsing artistic thing, He was ever on the alert for genius, and when he discovered one in the person of a lad named Eddie Moore, poor, but brilliant, Mr. Nickerson set about trying to give Eddie the kind of music- al opportunity the youth craved. Among his music pupils the master formed an “Eddie Moore Club”, and one or two brilliant concerts soon net- ted enough to send the lad to Stutt- gart, Germany. The “Eddie Moore Con- certs" became 2 semi-annual classic. New Orleans waited for them, looked forward to them, for they were always brilliant. Eddie Moore's expenses were paid, a piano purchased for him to have in his lodgings in Stuttgart so that he might practice. Golden re- ports came from the conservatory, and from his masters, His untimely de- mise cast the city into gloom, but the Eddie Moore Club bravely brought nis body home from Stuttgart and paid him last honors. This was but one of Prof. Nicker- son's activities. He had been made Director of the Department of Music »¢ Southern University, a position which he held for nearly thirty years, oF until the school removed from New Drleans: to Baton Rouge. He had or- anized a woman's orchestra, a nov- ty in that time, modelled after the amoug Fadetto Orchestra of Boston. de had a mandolin and string orches- ra, he organized the “Nickerson chool of Music” in 1914, in which he ras assisted by bis daughter, Camille Nickerson, @ graduate of the Oberlin onservatory of Music, and now teach: r of music at Howard University. The rofessor devoted himself to the ringing of famous artists to New Or- vans, presented under the auspices { his music pupils organizations. One of the famed events with which | e electrified the city was the presen- | WENTY-SIX— ition at once of the famous concerts ¢ Edmond Dede, after his absence in aris for almost a generation.

Sayman, 5399 Lindell Boulevard, miliionaire soap manufacture, appeared before Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Lenore Kamer, white, committeewoman of the Seventeenth Ward, last week, on a charge of cruelty to an animal brought by Green Hunter, Negro, 4476 West Belle Place. In an informal hearing in the Prosecuting Attorney's Office, Hunter reclaimed Sayman had shot his hunting dog while he was exercising it on property adjoining Sayman's home Sayman denied he had injured the dog and threatened to countercharge Hunter and the two Negroes who were with him at the time. Hunter said that on April 29, he and two friends were exercising their three hunting dogs near Sayman's house. According to Hunter, Sayman appeared with a gun and ordered them from the premises. When they refused to leave, Hunter said Sayman fired a volley of shot, wounding one of the dogs. The millionaire admitted he had fired the shot, but declared it has struck, as he intended it to do, against a stone wall, frightening the dogs and Negroes away. He said further that he believed the men went there to hunt quail. Sayman, at the hearing, produced credentials establishing himself as a deputy state game and fish warden. WILL NEED NEGRO VOTE Miss Kamer, assistant prosecuting attorney, declared Tuesday she was unable to take action, as the statute governing cruelty to animals does not mention dogs. The statute she said enumerated sheep, horses, cows, asses and other cattle, but says nothing a bout dogs. Miss Kamer is Republican committee tee woman of a St. Louis ward where the bulk of the voting strength is composed of the Negroes it is understood that she will have an opposition in her candidacy seeking re-election in August. WARRANT FOR SAYMAN An information under the city ordinance covering cruelty to animals was issued against the wealthy soap maker late Tuesday evening by Assistant City Counselor Alvin F. Hackman. The case will be set for Police Court No. 1 sometime within two weeks. A charge or discharging firearms in the city also was brought against Dr. Sayman.

EDITORIAL es ee RAW DEAL IN POLITICAL ENDEAVOR The raw deal which the citizens of our group receive in the realm of political endeavor can'only be remedied at the ballot box, and the race must get together as never before to concentrate upon men and measures if'the present wrongs are to be righted, i Governor C. C, Young has now been in office for nigh unto two years, and not a semblance of recognition have we re- ceived at his hands. ‘Assemblyman F. M. Roberts has been sucking the teat of statecraft for ten years and not the leastlevidence of tan- gible recognition for the group. Others who have received the support of our people in getting'into office, have also fallen down on the job. i The only remedy we can find is to organize and use the ballot box to defeat all of these who have failed in their duty in-seeing that all parts of their constituency obtain recognition in all parts of our government. We stand for all the people and in doing so}we cannot hold our peace in any situation which fails to count our group in for at least a part of the emoluments gained from political success. As a matter of fact this is our chief concern. Person- ally, our only ambition in political endeavor is for the square deal for all the people, and this-cannot help but include the colored citizens. Therefore the intentional oversight of our Governor, the passive attitude on non-productiveness of our Assemblyman causes our cup to “runneth over”. Our Assemblyman was even chosen by the white folks, as our leader in the presidential campaign four vears ago, and to this day we have never heard of his presenting much less obtaining for anybody, any sort of political recognition from a national standpoint. He has been our leader in both state and national political endeavor, and if anybody can bring forth a microscope powerful enough for us to discern what tangible recognition he has procured, either in the state, (where he has served ten years) or the nation, we will withdraw all opposi- tion with humblest apology. It is therefore obvious that some body will dare to oppose such a leadership, and have a most potent reason for doing so. Ten years walking the sands of the beach should satisfy even the most fastidious that it is but natural for the people to ask for a new deal. . In his own organ Mr, Roberts says to pit “Roberts over for another term”, and herein lies the trouble. Everything has settled on Roberts and despite his failure to register along the lines of political recognition he is just as interested in Roberts ds ever. As to our own personal attitude, we are neither satisfied nor content for things to stand still. We believe in and stand for progress and if things fail to move forward, we will find out the reason why. It is all right to be a good fellow; hale, hearty and well met. But that algne will not get us anywhere. ‘Therefore we have decided to go forward to the utmost, waving the program of progress and to present our casei fairly and squarely to the voters of the 74th Assembly District for their consideration and verdict. . We have no fault to find with our good friend and brother, our present Assemblyman, in his decision to run again, despite his declaration to us personally that he would not seek another term. For that matter if he had not made such a statement under the present circumstances it would have made no differ- ence, for we are firm in our conviction that. we- are due a change in the 74th District. ; Most,everybody has wondered where the customs of shak. ing hands and lifting the hat originated. The question of origir has probably been inspired by thoughts of the futility and use- lessness of both customs. One theory of the origin o fthe hand-shaking custom is that prehistoric man proffered his ight hand to the passerby to in. dicate that he had left his club at home and, was bent on some peaceful pursuit. The custom has deteriorated to a less signifi. cant salutation. The custom of lifting the hat is supposed to have originat ed when knighthood was in flower and armored knights raised the visors of their helmets upon passing a lady that they might the better see and be seen. | But today one is more apt to her “tip/the hat” than “dif the hat.” Is there any relation between this and the fact that men now touch their hats to a lady, whereas they formerly re- moved their hats entirely with a grand flourish? Customs are subject to change, although most af them survive in some form or other for centuries. : i The Parisians—reputed to be the most)gallant and courte. ous of men—are said to be welcoming with a zest a league against hand-shaking in process of organization in France. I recalls the spontaneous public approval given to suggestion: to abolish the traditional white house hand-shakings in thé Harding and Coolidge administrations. | ¥ Every mode of travel has its parasites. At sea it is the "stowaway, and his tactics have remained the same from the era of sailing vessels down to the modern liner and the days of re- stricted immigration. On land there has been more variety. “Thirty years ago the railroads were the main highways for »fhe-hobo, who was content to view the country from a freight ‘ear door. Once these wanderers were numerous enough to be a sedge crews, Now they are heard of occasionally, some- ‘times being listed as “unknowns” among the victims of a “freight wreck, but they have mostly disappeared. ~.. Have they taken to the automobile? With their instinct for “wandering, they may have seen that the great state and nation- éal systems of highways offer them the best opportunities. They -depend onthe good will of the autoist to “get a lift”, and on “the long stretches, away from the populous districts, they are generally successful. +, The spread of this habit of accepting or soliciting rides ig an imposition, on the good nature of auto owners. Their real Lobject, of course, is to save carfare home.’ The whole thing er. to a petty hold-up and should be stopped.

Of the latter there is Titus Alexander and his stur- dy band of adherents to the Jacksoni- an principles, and—well, the féllowers of the G. 0. 'P. are so numerous that if they sought to climb on the back ot the “Pachyderm,” the beast would Jot de able to carry the load. But, again, as we have said before, parti zan politics is a matter of expediency land neither political party found it ex- pedient to give even an alternate dele- gateship to a race man or woman. ‘The leaders of -the parties don't be- lieve “the time is ripe" for racial rep- resentation on commissions or in par- ty council. Of course, the time is “al- ways ripe” to vote them into office. It is wisdom to do'a little - political thinking. It ts rumored that San The Olcovich ‘Shoe Co Wholesale: Shoe Dis- tributors Are Now Open to the Retail Public The warehouse of the Olco- vich Shoe Co., wholesale shoe distributors and the largest concern of its kind in the West, are now open to the public and are selling shoes at retail at very low prices—this concern is very well known/in a whole- sale way having been estab- lished in 1896 and this news that it is now possible to buy shoes from their warehouse at retail will be welcome news to anyone who is interested in saving money. The Olcovich Shoe company warehouse is lo- cated at 224-226-228 South Hill Street, just around the cor- ner from second street, very sonyenient, and easy to reach, and all provision is being made to take care of an unlimited ro of trade.—Adv.

Mes- sengers who desire to take thelr meals at the Auditorium can do so. The committee is trying to furnish every convenience that might be cherished by the delegates.

Internationally Famous Dancers Appear on Bill of Mid-Nite Show at Lincoln Many of the regular patrons of the Lincoln Theatre have a good reason to regret their inability to attend the last week's mid-nite show at the Lincoln. Everyone knows that, at these mid-nite shows, there is always some extra featured act added to the regular program. Some of the best talent obtainable is usually procured for these fastidious mid-nite audiences. Last week they had some artists who have been proclaimed everywhere they have appaard—and, that includes most every continent—as the best in their line. I am sure the Lincoln fans do not object to this boast. In fact I rather believe they share this view. The Four Covans they are, billed, are scheduled to remain on the Pacific Coast, at least a couple of months. They are to work the West Coast Theatre chain, according to the Fanchon-Marco idea. They have made good from the start. They have just recently returned from Australia where they had a sixteen-weeks' run. The true story of the attitude of the Austrilian people toward the colored man will be told by one of the Covans in a forthcoming issue of this publication. The personnel of this famous dancing company includes two men and two women. Covan is the family name. Dewey, Willie, Florence and Elmer are the names of the members. They're tight—I mean! 1. SERGT. SAMMY BAKER Ace, Hudkins advance to the middleweight ranks leaves him logical contender to Dundee's crown. Sammy Baker, Mitchell Field soldier, won the right to fight Joe Dundee, for the wetterweight championship by defeating Nick Testo, to Troy, in a 10-round semi-final. The New York commission decided to recognize the winner as Baltimore Joe's next title opponent in this state. NEARLY EVERY BATTLE A KNOCK-OUT LAST SATURDAY AT MAIN STREET A. C. Everybody went home early from Carlo Gurtler Salon de Sock last Saturday night and the fans voted it one of the biggest nights ever witnessed at the Main St. A. C. Earl Carer, knocked out Charlie Flynt, fourth round. Teddy Valacios knocked out Jimmy Cameron, third round. Jimmy Peterson defeated Chris Martinez, decision, four rounds. Bobby Gott defeated Tony Bevo, decision, four rounds. Young Soko knocked out Al Sing, first round. Phil Blood defeated Rechea Aguayo, decision, four rounds. Kano Nakamura knocked out Leo White, second round. Along Fisticuffs Row Baby Joe Gans it seems has returned to form and is going great guns in New York. ALL HANDS seem to be moving to other fields than California just at this time. It seems as though the promoters all have an attack of heart failure over the "Examiner's fit" and they think they can quiet things down by not mixing the matches. However, to the fans who stand four-square this will but prove a hoomerang. There is a big day a-coming and foods of votes will be their loss when they need them most. The black vote carried them over the top to enact the boxing law and the way we size up the situation can easily consign the present boxing law to the scrap heap on the referendum. YOUNG JACK THOMPSON has been lined up for big time in the East and it is hoped that he will make them all sit up and take notice. The career of the boy seems to be beset with arguments and counter-arguments which are no good for his affairs nor the good of the boxing game. JCHNNY BLANDINO is the name of a new sensation that Old Folks Willamere is grooming quietly at the Main St. gym. Johnny who is a featherweight is fast as an Imperial Valley mosquito and kicks just as hard so the determined little Italian looks like a late edition of Fidel La Barba. He will certainly be heard from soon. MIKE O'GARA just returned from a week's trip out of town. Back now looking after his fine stable of fighters whom he has boused at his splendid private gymnasium at 17th and Griffith. * * * MACK HOUSE is expecting to leave shortly for Chicago to join his new co-manager Joe Glazer. * * * ONE THOUSAND big posters with a drawing made by our staff artist, Frank Espinoza, are being made of Neal Cisby by The California Eagle Publishing Co. They are to be sent all over the country. TOMMY O'BRIEN KNOCKS OUT JOHNNY ADAMS IN SENSATIONAL COME-BACK, TUESDAY A year ago this publication used to print lots of copy about "Killer" Tommy O'Brien, who was then the most feared lightweight in the game out here. To spring into the roped off resin parlor for a social session with Tommy, invariably meant to be carried out feet first. But through stickness, etc., the fighting Irishman who, by the way, is as fine and genial as they make them, when out of the rink, took a slump and lost a string of fights; then he retired and went into business at Tia Juana, Mex. But the old fighting spirit would not let him stay out of the game and he is back with a wow! Tuesday night of last week he knocked our Johnny Adams in the most sensational battle seen at Wilmington for a long time. In the 4th round O'Brien backed Adams into the former's corner during a wild exchange and then and there exploded his dynamic right hand. Adams whobled but smiled. O'Brien shot across another and Adams continued to smile. A third and the uncle faded. O'Brien bombarded Adams with rights and left. Baby Joe Gana, "The Young Master" won from Jackie Brady of Syracuse. Gana suffered a badly swollen eye in the first round but took the aggressive and retained the lead through NEIL CLISBY STOPS VIC AL EXANDER LAST WEEK Nell Clisby, the great California Thunderbolt, whose picture is running through dozens of Eastern papers and who is receiving many flattering offers from Eastern promoters added another victory to his full string last Thursday night at Morrie Cohan's famous fight Emporium when the referee awarded him a technical knockout over Vicous-Vic Alexander, well-known coast heavyweight. Vic fought mostly on the defensive but occasionally lashed out putting up a game battle, until the third man stopped it to prevent further punishment, in the eighth round. Dud Eades defeated Marcelino Ortega, decision, four rounds. Sianscino Dever won over Joe Garcia, decision, four rounds. cia, decision, four rounds. Chester Butler defeated Babe Jackson, four rounds, decision. Frankie Arregon knocked out Archie Akers, first round. What's Wrong With This Picture ----? NOTHING! Only ENEST (Chief) BENDY, 19-year-old heavyweight and one of the fastest, cleverest and hardest hitting boys on the Coast is not getting the breaks. He can best most any of he present crop of coast heavies except Clisby, yet he is boxing semis and prelims when he fight at all. His manager, Pop Hubely claims that he and Vernon Jackson are both too young to turn loose among the main eventers—but what about Jimmy McLarnin, Young Stribling. Fidel La Barba—that were near champs before they were hardly out of the cradle. There is something wrong somewhere.

OPPONENT HUNTED FOR NEAL CLISBY With the first 40-round boxing card under the Commission's new ruling instituted by that premier of commissioners, Jas. Woods, the Olympic Auditorium is featuring Tommy O'Brien and probably Neal, Clisby in the three tens, a six, and a four, that matchmaker Wad Wadhams, that cool and collected super matchmaker has dished up for the fans. Woods also did away with the rule against using ring names in his district. Wood made his new district when he learned that an inspector had fined Jack Doyle $50 because Richard McMillan boxed on one of the Olympic cards under the ring name or Richie Mack. New boxers are to be discouraged from inventing bizarre names but those already known will be allowed to stick. To say Gerald Slaughter or Phoebe Smith Williams instead of Baby Gans or George Godfrey means nothing to readers or hearers hence would only fail to impress. Tommy O'Brien and Bobby LaSalle meet in the feature ten and that one is good enough to stand by itself. O'Brien stopped Johnny Adams in three rounds at Wilmington last Tuesday night and La Salle knocked out Charlie Feraci in eight heats at San Diego on Friday night. Working under the direction of Mike O'Gara, O'Brien is back in good form. La Salle is the beach favorite. His rushing in style, against O'Brien's counter punching, should make it interesting. David Barron, who recently broke into the lightweight division, meets Jimmy Lundy of Butte in another 10-rounder. Barron is always a popular fighter here—even when he isn't winning. Lundy is the Montana veteran who takes his work like he means business. In recent Olympic bouts he stopped Frankie Tondorj in one round and defeated Billy Blake via the foul route. Baby Sal Coria, the San Bernardino junior lightweight, will meet Sailor Fay Kosky in another 10-round muss. Sal has put the sleep sock on five opponents hand running. Kosky is a tough southpaw—and may end and have the bayp ruit. Alfred Imperial meets Huerta Evans in a six-rounder. This bout rates good enough for the ordinary semifinal. A four-round curtain raiser will break the ice. Athletes Getting Ready For Olympic Finals With the Olympic trials just a few days off local athletes who are eligible for competition in the Olympic finals are getting on edge. Paddock, Borah, Droper, Wykoff, Lombardi, Pinney and the rest of the sprinters gathered together at the Coliseum, and are training daily for the big trials. On the team representing the U. S. in the Olympic games, DeHarr Hubbard rates as the greatest man in the world in the running broad jump. He is generally regarded as the prospective Olympic champion. But should some injury come to him, or some misfortune keeps him out of that event, Bates, the Penn State Star could "carry on". BASEBALL RESULTS AND STANDINGS Upper- Cuts & Blocks By-- HARRY LEVETTE SAY! LISTEN! BOXING Promoters! WE are going to ask you a few questions and give you a chance to answer. FOR WHAT REASCN are colored Boxers being kept from matches with any other boxers but those of their own race? * * * IS IT FROM FEAR of the color phobists who started agitating after the Paulino-Godfrey fight? Do you think by so doing that you will be able to save the boxing game? Suppose the 35,000 Negro voters feeling that it means nothing to them put in in the minority wedge of votes against it, that would serve to kill it at the polls. BY DISCONTINUING Mixed bouts the colored boys cannot get good drawing spots nor sufficient matches hence are forced to leave town. Hence a lot of Afro-American citizens would like to know a few things. Will you answer? You may answer through these columns if you wish. If no satisfactory answers are forthcoming by next issue we will have to put our own construction on the matter. ED. (Strangler) LEWIS DE FENDS HIS TITLE HERE NEXT WEEK Promoter Lou Daro has completed his mat card for his mat show at the Olympic, June 13, which features a no time limit match between Nick Lutze and Champion Ed "Strangler" Lewis. Howard Cantonwine, the 220-pound Iowa who proved very popular with the fans in his initial appear at the Olympic a month ago, has been signed to meet John "Firpo" Wilcox, a former football player with the Chicago Bears, in the semi-windup. Russell Vis, mat instructor at the COLN Atlantic City Honors "Smiling" Sammy of Bunion Derby Fame Atlantic City, N. J.—"Smiling" Sammy Robinson, who ran from California to New York City in C. C. Pyle's Bunion Derby, arrived in the city Sunday 1:18 p. m., from New York. The railroad station was crowded with friends and admirers of the derbyist all of whom were anxious to welcome him back. Escorted by the Elks and Pythian Hands, the Elks, The American Legion War Veterans, and his many admirers, a parade was quickly formed with the runner, Major Ruffin and Mr. Greenberg of the Press-Union Publication at the head. TENNIS CHATTER BY: JAMES S. HARRIS, JR. THE Southern highways were heavily coursed on Decoration Day, May 30th, with hundreds of people en route to Corona, where nestled in even a more superior and advantageous spot sits the attractive and well planned quarters of Parkridge Country Club. A grand and glorious time was experienced by all, but especially a large number of our tennis fans who availed themselves of the opportunity accorded them of playing a few sets of tennis on the splendid courts that Parkridge affords its members. Here is hoping that our whole tennis fraternity will take out a membership in this country club. If this happened, the courts would practically be monopolized by us, and I mean to say that we would make some classy rendezvous and haven or activity out of it. Wouldn't we gang? Say folks, Charley Black, one time champion contender, hottest pullet egg in existence, "prattiest" man on East 36th street, and woman hater. (Continued on Page Twelve) Los Angeles Athletic Club and claimant to the world's wetterweight title, will clash with Tommy de Milo in the special event. ```markdown ``` THE BLACK SPORT WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF ART HAMILTON Baby Joe Gans fought under a big handicap in his first bout in Gotham last Monday night. One day before the fight was to come off, Gans received a message that his father had died. The young master went into the ring with a heavy heart. He lost the decision but according to an Eastern writer Gan had the bout by a good margin. The first report of the battle was that Baby Joe had lost the bout because of his defensives style. The latest is as stated above that, Gans won the bout hands down. Santiago Zoirillia fought his first battle in the Big City last week and made a tremendous hit with the New Yorkers. The little whirlwind from Pomona threw more punches than his opponent thought there was in the world. The boy he fought was a top notcher among the Eastern scrapers and Zoirilla gave him the battle of his life winning almost every round. Neil Clisby, the Bear Cat from Riverside downed Vic Alexander in eight rounds at Pasadena last week. Where Vic ever got the idea that he could best Clisby I don't know. Vic claims a victory and a draw over Neil, but they were obtained in days gone by when Clisby was green. Those days are gone forever. It took the boy from Riverside just fifty-six seconds to put Mack House away and then it takes him eight round to rock Vic Alexander. A rater to sleep. In watching Clisby's bout we find he goes great guns against a first class man, and then turns around and takes eight rounds to dispost of a punk he should take quick like a minute. It won't be long now before Clisby will be ripe for another Godfrey bout and then watch out George! What's become of the little Jimmy Black? Clisby's stable mate? Black hasn't fought, to amount to anything since his battle with "Checkie" Herman at San Bernardino several months ago. Jimmy is a busy little fighter and he fights every time he steps in the ring and he shouldn't be kept idle. Speaking or fighters that are, punch geety or are so close to it we name several of the most popular fighters on the Coast and in the game. There's Johnny Adams, the San Berda Mt. Lion who willingly takes two to give one. Evidence of this is his puffed up eyes and other marks on his face. If Johnny takes them much longer like that it won't be long before he will join Ad Wolgast out at Patton. Ace Hudkins, the Nebr. Wild Cat, is another. In his last bout with Sammy Baker, Ace beat the fighting soldier but at such a price. He was battered in the face more than Baker. A case like Adams. But all in all there is one guy that won't walk on his heels and that's Champion Gene Tunney. If he did he couldn't study his beloved Shakespeare. In that seventh round at Chicago, Dempsey should have had a bicycle to catch Gene that night. We wager the Champ will never let his chin get in the way again like it did last Sept., and you can lay to that. SCENARIST WORKING ON "LAST WARNING" SCRIPT "The Last Warning," which will be Paul Leng's next directorial vehicle for Universal, is being put into continuity shape by J. G. Hawks and Robert Hill. This mystery drama is an adaptation of the popular New York stage success and is Leng's first assignment since his completion of "The Man Who Lauds" starring Mary Philbin and Conrad Veidt. and Conrad Veit. Supervisor Carl Laemmle, Jr. has announced that Laura La Plante is to star in "The Last Warning." Supporting members of the company will soon be named. ```markdown ``` THAT'S HIM GANG!

Well, if you don't know him folks, meet Mr. Bob Robinson, who puts Eddie Peabody to shame, when it comes to playing a banjo.

My! my!! don't ask me that again. Go bear him once, and then you'll know just how silly that question sounds. But to answer the question, I will say now, this boy is too tight for words.

VERNON ELKINS DIXIELAND JAZZ RAND WITH TIN CAN HENBY This is the new aggregation or high class Jazz Artists, who have succeeded the far famed Quality Seven Serenaders, at Frank Sebastian's Cotton Club. The entire band is new, except the famous featured canonophonist Tin Can Henry. Do they get? Are you asking me? My! my! they're right out of this world.

PAPA|MUTT 'AND HIS SYNCOPATORS This group of Jazz Stompers have moved over to the Claremont Dancing Academy at 4th and Spring Sts. They have just recently finished a nine months' run at 3rd and Main Sts. For an orchestra to stay anywhere and draw a decent salary, it means they have got to step. They draw the salary, and they do step, and how! Here they are folks, come on and meet them: Pappa Mutt Carey blows the trumpet and also manages this demon orchestra; then there is Alek Hill, piano and arranger; Joe Darisburg, sax and clarinet; Leonard Davidson, sax and clarinet; Frank Passley, bamboo and vocal; George Foster, tubor and bass viol and Minor Hall, at the drums. How do you like 'em folks, fine eh? CALIFORNIA COTTON PICKERS ORCHETRA The name sounds good doesn't it? Well, we'll look 'em over and see who they are and what they can do. It is hardly necessary though, to question their capabilities when we see who is at the head of it. There is no other at the head of it than Harry Southard. You remember him, when he led that old original Black & Tan Orchestra. He claims that the Cotton Pickers are better than the Black & Tan ever dared to be. They're at present engaged at the Dreamland Dancing Academy 537½ South Malm. Look 'em over folks: Robert, Paris, sax and clarinet; Willie Starks, sax clarinet and tenor singer; Jas.

BUSTER WILSON'S HOT SIX Know this red hot, gang? Well, here's your chance to get acquainted. You know we just don't begin to know all of our musicians. Very few of them ever have the opportunity of playing for a colored audience, so incessant is the demand upon them to air their talents at white cabarets and dancing academies.

Paving the Way For Eastern Theatrical Successes in West Featured in Ultra Popular Number- "Laugh Clown Laugh" At Se- postion's Cotton Club bastian's Cotton Club The West, more than many people realize, has ben greatly benefitted by the advent of these latter Eastern Theatrical performers. Since the arrival of the Doc Straine Co. and the show of Miller and Slayter, some of the natives have been behaving like city-bred folk. In the future, consequently, it will prove a pretty stiff problem for the inexperienced new-comer, to win his spurs, as a stage favorite. Any good performer, who hopes to win his audience on his merits realizes the significance of this turn of affairs. Where people have been minutely educated up to the point where they are able to distinguish and appreciate real talent, that's where the true artist longs to be. Thanks to stellar artists like Claude Collins and others, the West will soon be the cherished goal of every first class stage artist. Mr. Collins, has certainly endeared himself with Californians, both black and white.) When the Doc Straine Co. began packing their trunks preparatory to leaving these parts, Mr. Frank Sebastian, owner of the largest and most successful Nite Club on the Pacific Coast, induced Collins, his wife, Mike Collins and Baby Mack to sign a contract with him. He has never since had the opportunity to regret it. Mr. Collins is associated on his new job with some of the greatest entertainers to ever invade the West. Here is where the great Creole Carolynne Snowden is starred. The race's greatest show woman. Also Dudley Dickerson, great eccentric dancer, etc. Baby Mack and others with sizzling chorus, that's almost a rage. Mike Collins is with the chorus. Collin's wonderful ability as a dramatic actor, put him way out in front as an entertainer of first water. He is now featured in the latest song hit "Laugh Clown Laugh." They are fairly standing on toes out there to see him go. He is a sensation. All the great artists from the motion picture colonies in Hollywood and the leading stage favorites down town have proclaimed him. Collins is rarin to appear before a colored audience again. He expresses a hope that he will soon have the pleasure of appearing on one of the mid-night show bills at the Lincoln Theatre. Attraction It is a most difficult task to figure out just who is, or can be made the outstanding stellar attraction at the Lincoln Theatre. The main reason of This difficulty is that everybody is good. That is taken by itself sufficient. They are all first class talent. That chorus is the best seen in these parts. We have however, some choice between some of the outstanding members of this company, as a peculiar inducement for our patronage. That's what's called the box office attraction. A majority of choices for the same team or individual, will suggest the fact that they or he or she is the stellar box office attraction. Patrons may make their choice for either teams or individuals. Take for instance, you may choose Edith Spencer or Lottie Gee or the team of Spencer and Lottie Gee. Or, Amon Davis and Gallie De Gaston or Amon Davis or Gallie De Gaston; but, however, the team of Broomfield and Greely might be inseparable. According to the sighing young ladies, Marcus Slayer may prove a very strong contender. Then the boys not to be outdone may push this dizzy chorus way up. This week we run the picture of Leroy Broomfield of the almost incomparable dance team of Broomfield and Greeley. These two people are already way out in front. They are as good if not better, than anyone we have ever seen—Black or White. We will run a picture of your favorite each week. Send the name of your favorite to the California Eagle. JOCELYN LEE SIGNED FOR UNIVERSAL FILM With the signing of Jocelyn Lee for an important role in "The Night Bird" the cast for this latest Beginnald Denny comedy is complete, according to announcement by Carl Laemmle, President of Universal Pictures Corporation.

STAGE AND SCREEN LINCOLN THEATRE 'TROPICAL NITES' DRAWS LARGE CROWDS NIGHTLY; BOX OF FICE RECEIPTS MOUNTING This week's show presented a rare treat in musical comedy skits. Each night after seeing 'Tropical Nites' fans leave the theatre singing praises, and as a consequence readvertising the bill. And what, or who, is the cause of it all? Everbody! That means the entire company worked like trojans, therefore it's the easiest way out to say the whole show is the cause of it. Curtis Mosby's Blues Blowers get credit for some wonderful music during the presenting of this musical success. Musical comedy numbers must have music; and the kind that's supplied them must be good. When one speaks of a success, that means that everything must have been jam up. I mean. That dizzy chorus is growing in popularity every week; they are just too forty. They go through their most difficult skits, with almost perfect rhythm. They've certainly got some of the boys goofy; some of them are seen darting in the show as high as three times a week—I hardly make it there that many times myself. The comedians, Gallie De Gaston and Amon Davis, truly supply the comedy to this musical number. There is no use arguing otherwise folks, we are gazing at Class-A No. 1 talent when we look upon this clever pair. Amon Davis cut a-loose with some really keen stuff last week. Did you see him handle that pistol? Yes, it was a pistol and not a rifle as some thought it was. He twirled it with an adeptness that makes men like William S. Hart look like mere novices. Edith Spencer as 'Cobra' was really a wow! My, my! Cobra? that's a snake, isn't it? And isn't a snake supposed to be man's sworn enemy? That's all answered in the affirmative. Well, I'm a man and if that stuff that Miss Spencer did was supposed to represent this foresworn enemy, why, I say, let it twine its snaky body around and do with me what it will. Lotlie Gee! Did you see her? I hardly recognized that baby, in them old clothes, as the owner of this romantic isle. But, when she sang, who could mistake that most beautiful voice? There is one request that I must ask here, and that is, please sing once again. 'Swanee River.' About Broomfield and Greeley; these two people not only dance, they act. This past week's show proves that. They did a number with the chorus—all pantomime—that was great.

Houston was noticed seated on the running board of his Studebaker the other day polishing a set of golf sticks. We wonder who'll be so foolish as to challenge him. Walter Davis motored up to Eureka Villa, Sunday and spent the day along with some friends. About 300 persons comfortably housed in automobiles motored up to Four-In-One Lodge to the barbecue held on Memorial Day and from the general sentiment expressed they had the time of their lives. A few made the trip the night before and enjoyed the moonlight ride to say nothing of the time they had after arrival. Messrs. Spencer, Everett, Barefield and Kirk deserve much credit for the success of the venture. Keep up the good work, we're with you. Looky like someone pulled a boner when 200 tags were recently issued colored motorists. The gross mistake was quickly rectified by all tags being called in. Peace and harmony prevail and no one need again fear being interfered with unless for due cause. Parkridge! Have you motored out there. If not, why not? If you have anything to say reserve it till you see and learn. Chances are you may become a booster or purchaser. If you have not seen or investigated, you can't intelligently become either. J. W.

Yosemite All-Year Road in A-1 Shape Yosemite All-Year Road in A-1 Shape The All-Year Road from Merced into Yosemite National Park is in first class condition, notwithstanding the fact that some widening and reconstruction work is under way. Leaving Merced, the first sixteen miles is concrete pavement and oiled macadam. At the Mariposa County line, wide graded and oiled gravel road is encountered, which leads through rolling foothills over easy grades to Mormon Bar. At this point the road branches, one road leading to Wawona and the other to Mariposa, El Portal and Yosemite Valley. The road to Mariposa and the Valley is an excellent gravel highway to Mariposa and four miles beyond. At this point careful driving is necessary for a few hundred feet as there is a steam shovel widening the road, and the roadbed is somewhat rough. With the above exception the road is a boulevard the entire distance and splendid time can be made throughout. This is the most beautiful time of the year to make the trip, as wild flowers are found in abundance, the meadows are all covered with a carpet of green, the exquisite coloring of trees and foliage has not been obscured by dust, and the Merced River is still a mountain torrent.

To get this information, all that is necessary is to tune in on K. G. T. T. at the time specified and Announcer N. H. McGill will give his little talk o touring. In addition it is also planned to answer question regard highways, their condition and construction. All that one needs to do is to call up the station, Walnut 2596, if one lives in San Francisco, or write a letter to Announcer McGill and the answer will come over the air that very same day.

Car manufacturers are specific in stating just what size and type of bulb shall be used.

Too Much Lubricant Makes Clutch Grab Clutch release bearings probably suffer more from under-lubrication than from too much of it, but service records indicate that at least some motorists make the mistake of being too generous when lubricating this hard-working unit. Where the bearing is lubricated by a grease cup, the owner should realize that the cup never should be turned more than one revolution at a time. Grabbing of the clutch is the common aftermath of giving the bearing an overdose of lubricant. AUTOMOTIVE NOTES Out of more than 43,000 automobiles registered in Cuba, approximately 98 per cent were imported from the United States. Labor the largest item of cost in automotive repair work. During January, 1928, more than 1600 tourist automobiles were admitted into Switzerland. If the engine sputters, misses and picks up, after it has been warmed, look first for water in the fuel line. The automotive industry is now the fourth largest exporting industry in Canada. London traffic policemen are to wear white coats. Many other English cities first adopted the practise. Last year the motor industry used 227,512,000 pounds of cotton fabric in tires. Total value of all automotive products exported from the United States to European countries during the past year amounted to $112,143,114. SEE JUST What the wise and otherwise have been waiting for.
