Protest Insult Of Hot Dog Vendor VOLUME 42 A year or two ago a long white man started a dingy little hot dog stand at the corner of Jefferson and Central Avenue. His business has flourished almost solely upon his Nego patronage. Today this same man in this same dingy little hot dog stand is not only able to hire an assistant, but also able to assert an air of independence that is every thing but intimate to his most dependable customers—the black folk. Saturday evening the writer and a friend, being slobby frightened and hungry, stopped by for a sandwich in a relief. From the goodly number of colored people that had stood by for sometime waiting for service, a young colored gentleman called out impatiently yet calmly, "Is mine ready yet?" The next one surely must be mine." "Will you you shut your DAMN mouth?" was the harsh retort explained by the proprietor. The youth in question sheepishly took and paid for his lot and walked on while his brethren looked on with unacclaimed resent continuing to await their turn. By this time my comrade and I knowing it to be our turn stepped up. It obtained and paid for a sandwich. The owner of the outfit proceeded to serve two white customers who had just drove up while a mob of Negroes waited, politely but authoritatively remarked, "The next hamburger must undoubtedly be mine". Will you shut your mouth he snarled, leaving off the damn. The same remark minus the damn, of a few minutes before had me boiling with anger and resentment, but this was too much. I was stunned but not beyond self-control. I informed him that he need not fix me a hamburged and told him that he was serving human beings, although their skins were not white. "What do you think this is?" inquired my friend. "You forget that you are dependent upon these people for a living." All the time the owner continued to pass out his much demanded virtual, and to members of our group, with the arrogant air of a trimpant king. The story brings to my mind an incident related to me by a fraternity brother was too proud to admit said Bottling Works at the corner of Fourteenth and Central to solicit ads. for the Western Whittling. The manager informed him that he didn't advertise in Negro periodicals—I don't need their business. Furthermore, if one of your group made water as good or better than mine I would get your people's business." The dear brother was too prod to admit said facts without heated argument, in spite or the preponderance of evidence against him which his adversary used to its full advantage. Similar evidence of the other fellow's confidence can be obtained every day. The big question is "how long are we to tread time as factions rather than an organized unit? Unsuspicious and unsympathetic individuals are using our weaknesses continually to elevate themselves and families. The latter in the general case being the first to protest if a man of color locates near their dwelling in his pursuit of life liberty and happiness. JEHMAEL P. FLORY. MME. TALBERT'S HOME COMING EDNA ROSALYNE HEARD Mm. Florence Cole-Talbert sang to an appreciative, but an altogether too small audience on last Tuesday in the Philharmonic Auditorium. Empty seats were much in evidence and reflected badly upon the colored group of Los Angeles as a whole. It is unfortunate that the leading colored soprano and one who is one of us should again witness a small house and a goodly number of vacant chairs. Needless to say that it is past time that we should learn to appreciate the highest type of art as well as minstrels and musical comedies that are ALWAYS WSLL ATTENDED. The Talbert recital brings to mind a staeen made by Geo. S. Schuyler in his weekly column ninth Pittsburgh Courier. "At these times I see the world becoming better orders, humanity more intelligent." Then I pick up the morning paper and see where ten thousand yokels flocked to hear Billy Sunday and Gypsy Smith; that the membership ow the Klan is growing . . . or, that for every Negro Both, the huge composer like this tremendous singer, neglected by their stupid generations. But Florence will climb the mountain before she dies. She is by far the best singer in the world. By: LOUIS MICHEL Never before in the resplendent history of song has so great an artist, the greatest Negro coloratura soprano in the world, perhaps the greatest contemporary lyrical star, appeared in ablest triumph at her home-coming from tolerant foreign shores of art, study and travel as the excelsior, unqualified and distinctively unparalleled Florence (Cole Talbert in her Recital, charismatically exclusively by an active oral liberty organization, instead, as she so richly deserved, of being elegantly heralded, featured and fettered by an professional-official management, city officials included, never before in the history of Los Angeles was so distinguished a talented artist as Florence Cole-Talbert brought forth by a mere layman's organization, instead of being universally acclaimed by the greatest professional management of the "liberty" Republic of Anterica. This dramatic and chaotic public confession of a maddened multitude was very conspicuously and heartily strikingly demonstrated on June 12th at 8:30 P. M. at the Philharmonic Auditorium, where the most finished, the most superb and the most cultured Negro female singer, Florence Cole-Talbert, challenged a goodly numbered and warm-admiring, yet no sized audience and the world at large to go forth and bring cn better and more artistically equipped than shells and prove where she can be outclassed, a thing hardly anyone could undertake. Lots of flowers, aplace, love handshakes and kisses greeted her inside, but outside not even her art-crowned name was flashed as oftentimes the names of her inferiores are, in dazzling electric lights, "is the greatest art going a-begging?" is the burning question of this hour. And yet in this grotesque pandemonium or conflicting and misrepresenting super—as well as minor—civilization of uncivilized civilizers, Florence Cole-Talbert with sublime majesty and the Easherian courage of a Queen of Sheba proved the following truly meritorious and undeniably encouraging genius-phases of her grand and useful career: (Continued on page 6) MIDNIGHT: DINNER HONORING Mme. FLORENCE COLE TALBERT Mrs. J. Clayborne was hostess to a very elaborate midnight dinner in honor of Male. Florence Cole Talbert at the Republica Cafe after the concert at the Philharmonic Auditorium on last Tuesday night. It was a thoroughly representative gathering which graced the occasion, among whom were Mrs. Pearl Lowry Winters, Mrs. M. G. Patton, Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Hudson, Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. Patterson, Mr. S. P. Dones, Mrs. A. C. Richardson, Mrs. Pearl Roberts, Mrs. E. Staunders, Mrs. Malcom Patton, Mrs Stuart and numerous others. who went to hear Roland Hayes, fifteen paid the same to hear Bessie Smith. It is quite disheartening. Such is the case among Negroes in Los Angeles, hundreds will pay almost, any price to hear a minstrel musical comedy or some other mediocre performances but it is like pulling hen teeth to get us to attend a program representing the highest type of art and presented by our leading soprano who has just returned to us teeming with laurels from abroad. Tulbert brought to us a most delightful program although she was a different Tulbert in the role of dramatic soprano which was entirely new to those of us who had always picture and heard her as a coloratura. However, she came, she saw, se conquered and made an everlasting impressor upon her hearers. Melba one of the few companies that can carry out of the scene and yet give the singer splendid suport. Her rendition of Dohanyx Rhapody was exceptionally well played. LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1928 S. W. H. Musical Director Prof. Elmer C. Barrett who has been assigned to the task or directing the mighty chorus that will hold forth during the season of the National gathering of the N. A. A. C. P. states to the Eagle representative that he assembled a wonderful galaxy of talent and will present on the occasion of the national gathering the most wonderful chorus ever gotten together. This statement from Mr. Bartlett means this feature will be one of the outstanding events of the big gathering. Mr. Bartlett is a national figure as a musical director. His accomplishment with our own local far famed 8th, and Towne Ave. A. M. E. choir has made him famous. He has been its Organist and director for eighteen years. This organization under his direction carried away the 1st, prize in the great Hollywood Bowk contest in 1926. He made a tour of the south several years ago and directed a 500 voice chorus for the Morris Brown University at Atlanta Ga. and will conduct even a greater one at the Shrine Auditorium and Philharmonic during the meeting of the national gathering of the N.

HOUSE MANAGER EDMONDS EX-MANAGER WHITE COUNTRY CLUB Because as he nervously put it "They didn't ask my nationality and I didn't tell them", the general manager, Mr. H. C. Evans, managed one of the largest and finest white country clubs in the West before coming to Los Angeles to take charge of the Hotel Sonerville. He has had years of experience in hotel, dining car and club service and traveled for a number of years as salesman for a large white wholesale firm. At the country club found his entire force to be white on taking charge, but had to discharge them all and put in a new force in order to get discipline.

The Emancipation Proclamation? Why not abolish those evils? They are as much of an evil to the race as lynching. We are free, isn't that all that is necessary. We are the only race that celebrate our emerging from under some other fellow's hands. I am not much of a historian, but I am going to endeavor to deal with facts. "Every race upon this side of the globe at some time or other was under the cruel hand of bondage. As Mr. Clarence Darrow stated 'We are the only people that celebrate our Emancipation.' it is no honor attached to it. We are supposed to be an enlightened people, still we teach our future generations, our boys, and our girls, the man and women of our tomorrow the same old thing. Why don't our educators find something else to talk about. I truthfully think we should start a drive among ourselves to abolish the evil influence that has lurked over us for the past sixty years. We run to the White House to ask the officials there to do things for us that they probably laugh at when we are gone. Our delegates or representatives that we send to represent us to the White House body may be made up of some of everything--They want the honor bestowed upon them of visiting the White House. Conversing with the Presidential Party. The most of those men are not for the race at all, but working independently for himself. No! I say we are not progressing as swiftly as we could because our leaders throw us down. We will first have to get denomable leaders. "This little incident would not have occurred to me at the time had it not been for an incident that occurred in my town. Last wek a certain man came to our town representing himself as an ex-slave. Educated, a graduate of three colleges and oh! just a Genius at everything he undertook. I went to hear this wonder through the persuasion of a friend. The congregation was mixed. Sure enough, he represented his ex-slave ability by clowning. He invited the opposite race there to hurt their feelings. He charged no admission but insisted that they pay fifty cents. Two men feiled to pay anything at all. This Educator wilfully called those two men dogs and that wasn't all. He carried on ridiculously. When are we going to stop such abominable ignorance? Are we going to sit 'and bat fakes come into our communities and wreck them?' If not, now is the time to strike? I just had to tell you of this incident. Abominable ignorance I call it. Everyone was utterly disgusted with him. There is a thing of far more importance for our people if we would pull together. Everything that is a reminder of slavery helps to keep us apart. Why wouldn't it? We were taught that way. Get away from its surroundings, it's horrible influences. "Educators start teaching something worth the while to our boys and girls who are in school trying to educate themselves. Teach them the idea of business, they will learn it no better place than in school. Teach them to love and respect the race, to patronize our business enterprises. If they are properly taught, there is no reason why our coming generations should not surpass the former ones in such a way it should be an an eye opener. There is no reason why we should stand back and say the time isn't ripe for this or that. It's not a matter of time being ripe or the time has come. It's a matter of lack of confidence on our part and we are still living off ghosts of years and years past. If we are to struggle under that strain or the hallucination of those past years, no, the time hasn't come and never will. I look at it somewhat from this angle, a bad debt on hand and a bad marriage. If it is a bad marriage, divorce is the natural way out. If it is a bad debt get rid or it as soon as possible. We have had this bad debt or marriage hanging over our heads for years, now let us be men and women and cast off our burden; let us forget the past and look forward to the future. And in so doing there are no better things to look forward to, than building places of employment. As our girls and boys leave school other CAN THE COLORED American scatter his strength and hope to succeed? This is the big question before us today; and it should not be a flesh wound but one that burns deep into the soul of every Colored American— First of all, if an organization such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People would make the question of a name an issue and decide as to whether we should be called Negroes, Afro-Americans, Colored Americans or Aframericans and pass the word along we believe that, while there are those who would not abide by the decision, immediately, the edict would go a long way in saving much time wasted in organizations of lesser value which bicker as to how we should name ourselves as a race or suffer ourselves to be classed. While we believe that in an intelligent way we should resent segregation, that this resentment should be carried on in a dignified manner. Education, culture, department in public places, all of which have their foundation in the houses are the best weapons, with which we silently, in most cases, light for our proper standing in this Republic, the different States and Communities, in which we live as American Citizens. We seldom get together on any issue, and this is definitely understood by those who are willing to see us hewers of wood and carriers of water instead of being economic factors in the great productive markets of the world. Hence when we threaten rebellion against certain un-Americain acts of segregation and discrimination our white economic opponents understand what it takes to keep his real on our necks and he proceeds to do so. He either starts a political, social, fraternal or religious row between us, knowing that so long as we are rowing between ourselves he will not be troubled with the necessary competition we would furnish for him in the economic world if we ever could get together, twelve million strong in this country. Another impediment in the way of our progress is our social misunderstanding. We seem to think that our social affiliation in groups or circles should be carried out to the letter in our business, professional and political life which is an absolute impossibility. Individuals may make charming social fellows, but in politics or business they would be misnomas. WE WEKE VERY HAPPY recipients of beautifully engraved invitations to the gratification exercises of Messrs. Lloyd D. and Thomas L. Griffith, in the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, Southwestern University; also one from Esther Lois Griffith from the nineteen twenty-eight class University of Southern California. We congratulate these young people upon the successful completion of their work in these different classes, but especially do we do our cap to Mr. Lloyd D. Griffith who was the valedictorian of his class. Mr. Griffith has held first rank as debater in the West's two greatest universities, and we predict for this young man a powerful influence for good over his fellow citizens and a brilliant legal career. Atty. Leon W. Whitaker, nineteen eight-eight graduate of the University of California at Berkeley was speaker at the Forum last Sunday afternoon, as part of a most excellent program put on by Mrs. T. A. Cole. Mr. Whitaker has always been a serious student, and it was easy to discern that he had not applied himself in vain. There were those listened last Sunday and decided that this young barrister who so ably illicited different points of law would fill a unique place in the legal life of Los Angeles.— THE FLORENCE COLE-TALBERT Recital at Philharmonic Auditorium on last Tuesday was a phenomenal success and we vie with Mr. Louise Michel and Miss Edna Heard in their criticisms which appear in another column of this paper. IT IS REPORTED by Mrs. Enola Chism that excitement ran high last Wednesday in South Los Angeles when it was reported that a colored girl, was being whipped or roughly handled by her teachers. Both angles or this situation should be careful and calmly investigated, and proper steps taken to adjust this school problem. MR. WILLIAM M. DIXON has been handed a commendatory letter by Acting Chief Engineer J. C. McDowell for his meritorious act on Tuesday morning, May 29th, when he assisted in overpowering a man who was running amuck.

And talk about throw punches, and how? Jimmy has had a long lay-off, fighting only once in the last three or four months, but it seems to have done him good. Black throws his punches faster and harder than ever before. Jimmy has been working out with Chalky Wright, the kid from Berdo that has lost only one fight in eight or nine starts. Black is plently wringwise and Wright can learn a lot from this hard hitting stablemate of Neil's. In his last fight Chalky K. O'ed. Vic Acosta in two rounds at Berdo. Since then the kid and his manager have been having a little trouble, and unless they come to terms it looks as if Wright will be on the shelf for quite a little while. Wright shouldn't be made to stay inactive, because he loves to fight and he takes the game seriously. Vernon Jackson, the fighting school boy is back in town after a victorious trip to the Northern part of the State. It was a hard matter for Jackson to get matches in and around Los Angeles, so he went North and now he back weighing a little more but fighting harder. Young Jack Thompson won his first battle in the East last week, stepping ten fast rounds with Billy Light and dropping him in the seventh for a nine count. Jack went over with a bang because of his straight punching, every blow clean. Babe Ruth is doing more than running wild with his home run record. The Babe is far ahead of his record in '27 and if present indications develop it looks like he will have a new record to shoot at. ELI REYNOLDS DOES COMEDY-RELIEF IN NEW FOX FILM This Chap is Making the Grade in 'Me, Gangster' This picture, now being made, and shortly to be released by the Wm. Fox Studio, will certainly cause the box office receipts to mount. There are many reasons that can be cited for this view being taken. One of them being, that the work of Eli Reynolds will stand out, and bring out the laughs that a good comedy relief supposed to bring out. It's a well known secret in Hollywood, that a good director can make or break a star. If he doesn't like you, stay away from him. This one, directing this forthcoming picture, Mr. Raoul Walsh, is a good one, and he likes Reynolds. He is giving him a break and he says Ell knows how to take advantage of them. The cast includes: Jane Collyer, 1928 Wampus Baby Star; Don Terry; Anders Randolf; Claude Gillingwatier; Arthur Stone and Burr McIntosha Reynolds works through the entire picture. Despite the fact that five different companies have left on location trips in various parts of the country, the Paramount Studios in Hollywood are busy on the production of four other pictures and in the preparation and completion of fifteen others. Director Rowland V. Lee with Fay Wray and Gary Cooper, co-stars in "The First Kiss," are on Chesapeake Bay working amidst the oyster boats, the exact locale of Tristram Tupper's original story. Charles Rogers, star, Chester Conklin, walrus-mustached comedian, and Frank Tuttle, director, head the unit in New Jersey filming Rogers' initial vehicle, and Jack Hole is being put through his paces by F. Richard Jones in the Zane Gray story, "The Water Hole," on the desert where the Monumental Valley sequences are under way. Fred Thomson is in Tuba City, Arlizona, with his "Kit Carson" company. Production has started on Clara Bow's 1928-29 super offering. "The Fleet's in," under the direction of Malcolm St. Clair, Clarence Budger is directing Bebe Daniels in "Hot News," and Victor Schertzinger is seeing to it that Clive Brook, Mary Brian, Jack Laden and Baclanova are flawlessly portraying their roles in "The Perfumed Trap." James Hall and Ruth Taylor are doing the ship sequences for "Just Married," under Frank Strayer's guiding hand. Production on "Interference," co-feturing Evelyn Brent, Clive Brook and William Powell, will be under way this week. Richard Dix will begin work on "Redskin" his sequel to the far-famed "Vanishing American." Sam Smith Jennings will get into his "Gins ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened of the Fathers” production, and George Bancroft is to start on “Docks of New York.” Ten pictures are in course of editing and cutting, among these being Erich von Stroheim’s “The Wedding March;” “Ladies of the Moe,” starring Clara Bow; and the Ernst Lubitsch-Emil Jennings spectacle, “The Patriot,” based on the life and atrocities of Mad Czar Paul I. of Russia. Raoul Walsh has begun production on ‘Me, Gangster,’ his twenty-fourth picture for Fox Films. This is being made from the Charles Francis Coe story of the same name. Prominently cast are Don Terry, a new ‘find’ in the screen world; June Collyer, Wampas Baby Star or 1928, Anders Raundolf, Claude Gillingwater, Arthur Stone and Burr McIntosh. Alfred E. Green has just started his seventh Fox Films production, "Making the Grade," with Edmund Lowe and Lois Moran in the lead roles. This picture is a film version of George Ads's latest story of the same name, which ran in the Cosmopolitan in March. David Butler, Fox Films director of film dramas and comedies dealing with youth, is expected to return to the home told shortly from Culver, Ind., where he has been for a month making "Prep and Pep," with David Rollins and Nancy Drexel in the leading roles. The story has to do with a youth who tries to live up to his father's reputation as the greatest athlete of the prep school, and he runs into some healthy obstacles before he wins out. Frank Borzage has dusted off his megaphone, which has been idle since early this year when he completed "Street Angel," and is about to start "The River," a film version of Tristram Tupper's late novel, which is just reaching the book stands this month. Charles Farrell, Ivan Linow and Mary Duncan have the outstanding roles. ALMA RUBENS TO PLAY JULIE IN "SHOW BOAT" Alma Rubens will play the part of "Julie" in "Show Boat," according to an announcement by Carl Laemmle, president of Universal Pictures Corporation. This is the first news regarding the cast for this Universal super-production. In the opinion of director Harry Pollard, Bliss Rubens is perfectly suited for the role. Also she has an excellent speaking and singing voice which will be necessary as the picture may be made with sound accompaniment. The two principal roles of Magnolia and Ravenal have not been cast as yet, but it is expected the names will will be announced shortly. Difficulty has been encountered in selecting the players as they must have good voices in addition to being suitable for their roles. Because of the admitted importance of the picture and the prominence of each part, great curiosity has been aroused regarding the cast and it has been the topic of conversation ever since the studio purchased the screen rights to the Edna Ferber novel. Production of "Show Boat" will be started within a few weeks, according to Leaemmie. The adaptation and continuity for this production are by Charles Kenyon. Wallace Beery is returning to dramatic roles in the Paramount filmization of Jim Tully's story of trampion, "Beggars of Life." William Wellman of "Wings" fame, is directing. Chester Cooklin has a sympathetic part in the initial Charles Rogers starring vehicle, now being filmed by Paramount in New Jersey. Baclanova, Emil Jennings' leading woman in Paramount's forthcoming "Sins of the Fathers," alternated with Lady Diana Manners in the role of the Nun in Morris Gest's "The Miracle." Pola Negri plays the role of Rachel, celebrated tragedienne, in "Loves of an Actress," her latest Paramount starring production. Evelyn Brent, who is to be featured with Clive Brook in "Interference," has just returned to the Paramount studios in Hollywood after a New York vacation. "Warming Up." Richard Lix's latest Paramount picture, a story of the baseball diamond, is now in the cutting rooms of the Hollywood studios being made ready for release. "His Private Life" is the tentative title of Adolphe Menjou's first Paramount vehicle following his return from Europe. Ange Nichols' "Abie's Irish Rose," a Paramount production, bids fair to duplicate the success of the stage play in New York, where it is now being shown, according to all reports. What's the matter with all the Bathing Beauties who took part in a Decoration Day parade? They are walking around and talking to themselves. They seem "all hit up," too. EDITED BY: LAWRENCE F. LAMAR CLAUDE COLLINS ON MID-NITE BILL AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE LAST WEEK CLAUDE COLLINS ON MID-NITE BILL AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE LAST WEEK COTTON CLUB ARTIST REAPS TREMENDOUS APPLAUSE IN HIS "LAUGH CLOWN LAUGH!" THE NEW YORK TIMES CLAUDE COLLINS Did you miss this mid-nite too bad. Not very often are the Mid-Nite Show advertised. The last week's edition we spoke how pleased he would be to agence. He was here with us la hinted, than the Lincoln manage Did you miss this mid-nite show? Well, if you did, that's too bad. Not very often are the acts offered on the bill for the Mid-Nite Show advertised. This week was no exception. In last week's edition we spoke of Mr. Collin's wish, regarding how pleased he would be to again appear before a colored audience. He was here with us last Saturday night. No sooner hinted, than the Lincoln management sought him out. The best thing about Mr. Collins being the bill was that he demonstrated his own unique way of singing, the latest song hit, "Laugh Clown Laugh." This same song, sang by this artist in his fashion, is what's causing the mad rush to Sebastian's Cotton Club to see and hear Collins go. We've seen him 'get' before. But never like he does doing this number. This song is another one of those pathetic numbers and to bring out all that's in it, one must dramatize quite a bit. Collins is an actor of no mean ability. He did everything there was to do to this song; and more too. To further emphasize the pathos in the song, Collins shed some of the biggest tears ever seen. Having considerable experience in motion pictures, I thought they were (prop) glycerine tears, but they were real! Request numbers were shouted from the audience. We hope Mr. Sebastian can loan him it to us again. Runner Up as Box Office Attraction LOTTIE GEE THIS WEEK'S CHOICE Gee, my gosh! Remember what was said last week about favorites? About how to boost and interest yourself in the behalf of your favorite performer, team or individual, at the Lincoln? Well, come on, send in your preferential reply. Last week we had Leroy Broomfield on the block. This week we are placing on the block, that is, running picture in the paper, of Miss Lottie Gee. Miss Gee is the same little song bird that has thrilled you with her very beautiful voice lately. The same little lady who set the nation agog, in "Shuffo Along." it isn't necessary for us to ask, if she has won friends here. Lincoln patrons are generally held spell-bound when she sings; and seemingly glad of the spell. Among those song numbers her friends will remember her most are: "Keep Smiling." "Swanage River" and "Old Fashioned Love." Don't forget this baby's character roles. She won quit a few friends for these also. You don't have to limit your choice exclusively to Miss Gee, alone; she has a partner. Many probably appreciate her more in duet numbers with Edith Spencer. In that case your choice would be for the team. Anyway you take her, she is great.

THE FASHION WEEK LOTTIE GEE Favorite Aat The Lincoln Theatre THE COMMENTATOR 'RUNNING WILD' BRINGS RECORD TOP; ALSO LAUGHTER, A SOB, AND A TEAR Now, here was some real stuff. That is, it was plain and evident, for anyone to see the plot, and follow it through the entire show. There must be real genius directing these shows. Witness the wonderful lighting, and scenic effects, called into force. We really appreciated the novelty of it; and it was quite accurate, and made the story being told (or acted) clear, and understandable. Congratulations Messrs. Miller and Slayter. The plot of the story of 'Running Wild' was a young girl, Rose Reed, who runs away from her small town home. Leaving behind a dear old mother (Miss Little Gee) to mourn her as dead. An insurance agent, (Leroy Broomfield) refuses to accede to the demands of irate friends and neighbors of the elder Mrs. Reed, to pay the death claim, averring that he had evidence that Rose (Edith Spencer) was alive and was working in a cabaret in St. Louis. The scene shifts. Railroad station. Insurance agent entrains for St. Louis. Aged mother and friends bid him God-speed and hope the daughter is found. Old mother sings popular song hit (very appropriate for play) and scores heavy encores. Scene shifts again. Cabaret in St. Louis. Rose as leading soubret in Cabaret, certainly carrying it on. Dramatic entrance of insurance agent recognizing Rose. Entrets her to quit gay life and return home. Rose at first refuses, then gradually assents. Chorus meantime going over big. I mean! Then, final dramatic climax! Imagine the tenness of that scene, really touching, as the mother enters singing "Old Fashion Love." If you could have looked deep into the eyes of that audience, or lent a listening ear to the breast of your neighbor, it is doubtful that you would have missed the sight of a rear; or, the faint est sound of a sob. My, but that scene was touching! The comedians, Galilee De Gaston, and Amon Davis, were right, there with their sackets of mirth. And they know how to dispense it. Gillie De Gaston certainly spread it on thick, when he uncorked a huge joke at the expense of the Black Man. It got over big. We have advanced a long ways, when we show some signs of wiping that chip off our own shoulders. Time was, when jokes like that would have had a whole audience 'shuffled up'. That is, if the joke had been uttered by a colored person. Otherwise, if by a white man doing a 'black face'. When we appreciate 'cracks' by our own artists, then the producers will hire colored actors for the parts. But, not until the fans like it, give them what they want. Miss Emma Hawkins and he only Marcus Slaytor did a little skit together that got over big. I think Slaytor's got those little girls down in the front rows daffy over him. However, Miss Hawkins holds her own. Like to hear her sing a blues number of her own choosing though. Mosby's Blues Blowers pepped up in things with their jazz. However, what's the matter with those classic numbers, they started out playing—when they opened the house? They must have run out of orchestrations, or something. Let's change the music, fellows. "Variety is the spice of life." COLLEGE LIFE BY: ALICE KENNEDY Cosmopolitan Club of U. C., L. A., had a delightful dancing party as a last all-university get-together, on last Tuesday night in Newman Hall. The affair was a very pretty costume presentation of varying nations in all their glory. International decorations lent the bizarre atmosphere. The guests were pleasantly entertained with a Hawaiian string orchestra. Mighty fine. I tell you. Pretty nice. One of the most colorful and collegiate affairs of recent date was the Spanish Fiesta given by Alpha Kappa Alpha last Wednesday night in La Vada ballroom. The hall was a-glow with dull suggestive lights and Spanish owned red-bloods flitting here and there and covering you with confetti, and the Saints know what else. Spanish what-nots were served giving the fire and dash to all who imbibed Quite ze riotous rage. No? With these last few days of school graduation et al many are preparing to bid adieu to their Alma Mater and fair forth into (among) the horrid atmosphere to try the wiles of Fortune, that capricious old Jade, who beckone enticingly until one approaches very near the desired goal and then she fades mysteriously from sight. We sincerely hope that these young men and women will not become discouraged and fall by the wayside but that they will heave to and stick to the end. June graduates are: Florine Shaw; Esther Griffith; Jerome Hatcher; Jas. Traylor; Charles Bradford; Annie Smith, getting a M. A. Degree. Summer School graduates: Berenice Owsley; Edwynar Kandalls. Edwyna is rushing a Chicago sheik successfully, what! Chas. Diggs, recent graduate of U. C., will sail within a week for France where he will continue his study of medicine. By Jave, if I'm not out of breath. Really can't think of another thing now. Still Alive in China Editor of Calif. Eagle. Dear Sir: I understand that J was reported dead in China.

(By The Associated Negro Press) Ripley, Tenn., June 8.-Strange things are happening in this section of the country, and one of the strangest of these was the arrest of Bennie, prominent white hunter and bounty hunter, who was widely charged with the killing of a colored man by the name of George Anderson. According to the reports, Anderson and Dennie are heighbors and quarrelled over the "property dividing line." in the argument Dennie shot and killed his colored neighbor and in turn came to the city to advise the law of his action. He was arrested but later released upon a thousand dollar bond. Even this is strange. Creates Sensation (By The Associated Negro Press) Cleveland, Ohio, June 12. In George Brown, janitor at a local apartment building, this city claims the distinction of having the only "one man duet whistler" in existence. George created quite a sensation among the tenants of the apartment building when he entertained them a few mornings past with an imitation of a train whistling. Being questioned as to how he did it, George replied: "You haven't heard a thing yet," and to prove the assertion proceeded to whistle in two distinct notes "Blue Heaven." "Coquette" and a number of popular songs. (By The Associated Negro Press) Pine Bluff, Ark., June 8—Henry Brown was brought here Tuesday morning from Althelmer, charged with killing Robert Quinn, in a fight in that township.

The cause of the killing was not learned as Brown refused to answer any questions. Alphas Present Play (By The Associated Negro Press) Detroit, Mich., June 8.—At a rather belated but splendidly conducted "Go To High School—Go To College" meeting held at the sophia Wright Settlement House here Sunday, May 27, the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity presented a play "Simon the Cyroenlan," after which an address was delivered by Dr. Reinhold Niobrue, a nationally known minister and lecturer. Dr. Neobrue is one of the vary few white speakers who when speaking to color audiences do not try to "create atmosphere" by a long preamble about the faithfulness of the old time Negro. His was a talk on education and he plunged right in as if he was speaking to "just people." Directing his talk to the younger people the speaker pointed out many advantages of an education, urging upon all to get the education possible, thinking not in terms of dollars, but rather in terms of service. WHITE MAN KILLS COLORED CUSTOMER (By The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa, June 8—Bjamin Mittman, a white man and proprietor of a delicatessen establishment at 1423 North Twenty-third Street, is charged with having murdered a young colored man named Charles E. Brown. The shopkeeper claims that he killed Brown because Brown was attempting a hold-up. However, it developed at the inquest that there are other circumstances an the hearing has been continued pending an investigation of the slaying. The party responsible for the turn in this matter is Thomas Washington, a colored lad thirteen years old, who states that he, in company with several of his companions all pupils of the Reynolds Public School, had witnessed the shooting, and that Brown had not attempted a hold-up of the store. The testimony of the wife of the storekeeper and of his young son was to the effect that Brown and his companions entered the store and that Brown grasped Mittman by the throat and then picked up a meat cleaver to hit him. Mrs. Mittman is reported as having stopped the blow by jerking the cleaver. Brown is said to have showed Mittman against the counter, whereupon Mittman seized a revolver from under the counter, and fired the shot that cost Brown his life.

June 8—That baneful weakness—gift of gab—caused James Hutton. 3033 Washington Ave. to tell police of the luck another Negro had in picking up $750 in the street. Hutton stated that reading in newspaper Monday, that some money had been lost in the vicinity of Grand and Delmar Boulevards, he recalled that a Negro boy whom he had driven home las Saturday from, that point, had handed his mother a roll of bills. After explaining to the police the incident, Hutton accompanied them to the boy's home on Randolph street, where they recovered $678.25 of the $750 which had been lost. Mrs. Anna Greenspoon, a white woman, 4515 Lindell Boulevard, claimed she had lost the money as she was going home from a bank at Grand and Olive. The boy and his mother told police they had spent some of the money for clothing and food. The mother had hidden $615 in a tin can secreted in a vacant house next door to her home. Case of White Man Raping Colored Girl Postponed (By The Associated Negro Press) Louisville, Ky., June 8.—The court room was filled last week when the case of the white man who has been charged with rape against a 14-year-old colored school girl was called. On account of the nature of the case, the judge caused the court room. It has been ordered that a blood test be taken of the white man and the case postponed until next week. The child who is a ward of the National Home Finding Society is now confined at the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, a Catholic Institution under treatment for a veneral disease. Bess Free and Destitute; South Carolina Whites Seek to Remedy Plight (By The Associated Negro Press) Columbia, S. C, June 8.—After serving thirteen years in the South Carolina prison, for a crime which he did not commit, Ben Bess faced the world Monday morning a free man, but destitute. When Bess was arrested on a charge of raping a white woman here and sentenced to serve the remainder of his life in the penitentiary, Bess owned a small farm, which was under cultivation and furnished a source of livelihood for him. In fact, he was frequently singled out as a good liver and a respected citizen. With the loss or his freedom occurred likewise the loss of his home and the respect of those who knew him and were his neighbors. An affidavit sent by the woman, whom Bess was supposed to have raped, regained his freedom and the respect of his neighbors, but his earthly goods were still missing. Broken in spirit by the thirteen years of toil in the prison, Bess now faces the world "down but not out." To remedy his plight and to make life easier for him, white citizens, led by the South Carolina State, a daily newspaper published here, has started a "Ben Bess Fund" with the hope of securing $600 "for the immediate support of Ben Bess, the Negro man, who while innocent, served thirteen years in the South Carolina penitentiary, being convicted on the perjured testimony of a white woman." The fund has almost reached the goal and plans are being made to secure money to purchase another farm and home for Bess. White people are contributing toward this fund with the idea of compensating the wronged man for the suffering which was his in prison. The affidavit which brought Bess his freedom was as follows: "Since I have not much longer to live, I hereby desire as much as possible to undo the great wrong I have done this Negro, Ben Bess, and I hereby declare my testimony upon the trial in this case to be untrue."

(By The Associated Negro Press) The present vogue among women to become thin and willowy in order to comply with fashion's mandates, claims a recent writer in the Journal Indiana Medical Association, has been attended with so many evil results in the way of impaired health that a plea has been made to medical men to discuss the subject from the health standpoint. Accordingly, the question of whether women should reduce and how, if they are to retain their health, was debated in New York on February 22nd at a gathering of physicians, dietitians, and statisticians, at the New York Academy of Medicine, under the direction of the American Medical Association. PATENTS Established-Experience Twenty-nine Years E.E.VROOMAN & Co. 25 Atlas Building In the discussion that resulted one of the speakers said that he was told by Pierot, the French dressmaker, that American women were almost the only women in the world who wanted to look like barber poles. Other speakers called attention to the evil effects of improper dieting and the use of drugs in an effort to reduce. One of the serious results or reducing is in the production of sterility. Over-exercise, rolling machines, starvation diet, going without water, the use of thyroid, lodine, and smoking to excess, all were condemned as injurious. The untutored person frequently eliminates vitamins from his food by doing without cream, butter, and other foods, thus bringing about an unbalanced diet that is very harmful and may lead to a pathological condition. The consensus of opinion was that no reducing should be undertaken except under the advice of a competent physician, and that all women need a well-balanced ration, but that there would be less tendency to accumulate fat, if the well-balanced ration is limited in amount and with the requisite amount of sleep, and with temperate habits. The American women were further admonished that it is better to be reasonably fat and healthy than to be thin and sickly. L. S.

PLANT GREAT RACE ACCOMPLISHMENT Many people who visited the Heflin Mfg. plant have grand opening June 2nd and 3rd also a large number of those who attended the citizens' Council & Industrial League meeting which was held at the plant Tuesday night June 5th were greatly surprised and inspired at the wonderful things they saw there. Many finally confessed that the plant was the best accomplishment was possible among the members of the race. The plant is splendidly equipped with modern machinery for turning out various products of furniture, caskets, household articles and ets, and organizing the men and women and organizing ability of the men who head this institution and the cooperation of the Stock Holders. This constructive: accomplishment refutes the often repeated statement that Negroes will not cooperate. It is also an evidence that a new day is dawning for the race and that the Negro is fast realizing that if we are to receive the recognition due us and we must become Employers as well as Employees. That we must make jobs as well as seek jobs of other people. This Firm sells directly to the home at reasonable prices and on reasonable terms. As a further means of cooperation we urge that in furnishing our homes we buy directly from this company, or if we make purchases of other firms demand Hefflin Mfg. Co. goods. Since this company is turning out many kinds and designs of caskets, and you must provide a suitable casket in which to place their last mortal remains demand of your Undertaker a casket made by the Hefflin Mfg. Co. Then when the token of sympathy and tfection read "At Rest" on their casket, you can feel that you have done your part in making it possible for those of our race who survive them, to have an opportunity to enjoy at least of the things that bring rest to the mind and peace to the souls of men on this side of the Great Divide.

Los Angeles and the final count of the votes cast in the Precincts of this community proves the truthful character of the shows that the bonds carried by more than two third majority in this vicinity. This is in keeping with the progressive ideas of the people of So. Los Angeles, many of whom are heads of families, of from two to six children, who realize that the education of the children is the most essential thing for any community. While we all admit that the taxes and assessments for city improvements are high, but that as progressive citizens we cannot ignore or fail to support any plan of necessary expense that will facilitate the education of the child. If the schools we look at looked at this matter from the same angle we feel that the School Bonds would have carried. SHUSJIE SECOND HAND FURNITURE STORE The Shusk.

Using The Fair To Create Business According to the reports of officials of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions, the Fair seems to occupy a more important place than one might have thought as an instrument for the promotion of business. The first recorded Fair in the U. S. took place in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was financed by the collection of Fifty Dollars for prizes from local business men in 1804. Since that time the association has grown to where more than $35,000,000 is invested in Fair properties in 78 state fairs and expositions; and 2290 county and community fairs add tremendously to this. Last year, according to Billboard, more than twenty-one million people passed through the turnstiles of the different fair countries. Many of the manufacturers of nationally advertised and distributed merchandise are represented at one, or more, of these fairs, either by directly controlled exhibits or through their local jobbers and merchants handling the line. So complex has the business, incidental to the fairs, become that the fairs, become that the University of Chicago has established a school in fair management, budgeting and accounting, state government departments, state authorities and community commercial organizations have added prestige to the fair, by becoming participants in some of them from time to time. The value of the fair to the merchant may be found in the philosophy of advertising which ranks descriptive matter, photographs, and demonstrations important as means of conveying information and education. WHAT THE FAIR IS FOR Merchants have sometimes failed to appreciate the advertising and educational value of particular expositions, bazaars, and fairs. They have often permitted the quasi-social aspects of the gatherings to absorb the mercantile value which is usually associated with the fair r bazaar. How great this value may be depends very largely upon the merchant and his own mental attitude toward such projects. If he be a wide-awake man who avails himself of every opportunity to make his business and his personality known to the whole community, the fair may often be an instrument of great good to him. The prime object of any fair, community or in ternational or of any the grades between, is to create an acquaintanceship between the different elements of the community; and that includes the merchant and his customers, or potential customers. ceptions are but the sugar-coating that the average human being demands with every medicine that is prescribed for his good. These things put a man, woman, or child in the frame of mind to look with kindly eyes upon everything about them. The music provided for the occasion helps along with that idea. An innovative merchant is one who is among the first to take hold of any project to create a diversion that will attract outsiders to his community and induce the home folks to come out and foregather with them. If time will permit, he donates his energies to the affair; if not, his name is given for free and early use in connecction with it. In this way he can provide publicity and benefits from the paid advertising of the project. When the fair or other similarly named entertainment takes place, he has his business represented with a booth or other display. He pends such time a he can spare in that booth or its vicinity; and at other times makes an employee of assured interest in public contacts, a pleasant personality, and a genuine knowledge of the business. The fair exhibit is not expected to be a thing of direct profit. The visitor is sight-seeing, acquaintance-making, and educating education about commodities, but the booth is not being made the retaliatory of impression that will in- FOR INSURANCE--Attractive Whole Life, 20-yr.

There is a lesson for the little fellow in the attitude of the bigger business toward the fair; and overlooking opportunities is not what made any business big. There would be more than two thousand fairs in the United States every year with budgets amounting to many millions of dollars, if there was not a real feeling among the particular communities in which they are held that they are worth while. Plans for such a campaign of fellowship with potential customers should be made early in the pring, so that ach idea entering into the development of a product exhibits space secured, and the whole plan matured to obtain the best resuits from the energies expended. Depriest is Boomed At Carey Testimonial (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, June 8.—For the first time an opportunity was offered last Tuesday night to learn what is going to be the attitude of Negro leaders of importance in the coming campaign to put a Negro in Congress from the First District of Illinois. The occasion was a testimonial to Bishop A. J. Carey, Chicago (vill Service Commissioner) held in the portors of the Appalachian job. The most important of the principal leaders in politics, business, and the professions in Chicago. Most noticeable during the testimonial to Carey was the continual reference to the congressional situation and the steady insistence that Oscar DePriest, Third Ward Committeeman, and his party's choice for president, first among those to make a plea for support for DePriest was Major John R. Lynch, who was first elected to Congress from Mississippi in 1869. Major Lynch explained to those assembled that their duty was to support DePriest in order to be sure that Negro wins the place. With two or more Negroes running, warned, and insisted, his constituents white Democrat winning the position, Lynch also took accession to tell DePriest that the work of Congress is done in committees, not on the floor of the House of Representatives. cognizance was taken by Major Lynch to the continued reference to DePriest's lack of scholastic ability when he informed him that in Concord he had been unable to did not know nearly as much as he (DePriest) does z | z | z z After Lynch third spoken, most of the speakers joined in lend emphasis to the sentiment he had expressed. DePriest also did some speaking for himself. Judge William Harrison, who has announced his intention of running against DePriest, was not present, and with him absent, if it was not possible to discover any sentiment for his candidacy. The tributes to Bishop A. J. Carey upon his appointment to the Fourth Episcopal District, which includes Chicago, were sincere and enthusias- tic. DePriest asked that those persons present use their influence to guarantee that Bishop Carey he made president of the Civil Service Commission upon the respiration of the term of the present incumbent. J. O. Thomas Delivers Dedication Address (By The Associated Negro Press) Beaufort, S. C., June 8.—Jesse O. Thomas, Field Secretary of the Urban League, gave the principal address at the dedicatorial exercise of the Alice H. Hat that was dedicated to the Matha Industrial Home Beaufort, South Carolina, May 29th. This school was founded in 1868. The money for the construction of this building was raised in the north as a Golden Anniversary project to Mrs. Alice H. Coleman, President of the Women's American Baptist Home Mission Society, in testimony her college students went to work in. In discussing the recent progress and present needs of Negro Education the speaker showed the progress made in Negro education as a justification for the investment of faith, expectancy and money made by public spirted individuals and organized army corps well well needed. He called attention to the fact that South Carolina with the population of the two races divided on the basis of 51 per cent Colored and 49 per cent white spent $1,637,719.14 of the money for public instruction of the white children during 1925-26 and $1,655,633.93 or 10 per cent in the College, said the speaker, is true in a smaller or larger degree of every southern state."

The mothers were ushered into the dining room to the beautiful banquet table by their daughters at the appointed hour. There were beautiful artistic place cards arranged for ten mothers. During the banquet which consisted of five courses, a program was given. Our president, Vesta Edwards welcomed the mothers and it was responded to by Mrs. S. C. Johnson. The program was a radio idea style and was successfully rendered. After the banquet the mothers enjoyed a "Round Table" talk. Each mother and daughter enjoyed herself. Next year will be the third annual, and we hope it will be as successful as this year's banquet.

Ah, woe is me! or should we say "us."? The only thing we can think of at present is that we saw R. G. LaMar of the Calif. Eagle staff on the street yesterday with the same old 1922—(?) straw hat, he probably wor in 1992. We have finally come to the conclusion that the male sex has a very good "ear view" by which most women can pick their husband in a crowd. Another thing: the egotism of the male is plainly shown in their off-hand manner or catching a street car on the run, supposedly to draw admiration from the women riders. The best it's ever done for us is to give us a queer sinking feeling in the pit of the stomach for fear that the street car catcher might miss and we would have to waste a day in court as a witness. Oh, ho! Did you know that almost all of the bathing beauties in a recent parade have very good colds for sale? Oh, California, how could you! First Coed: "He's one of those strong, dark men." 2nd ditto (jealously): "Ah, another Neil Cisby." Heard at Parkridge: "Boy, the people sure are 'thick around here." "Don't look any bigger to me than usual." We are glad to be able to say that Miss Ruth Bayless, who was injured last week in an auto accident near Balboa Beach Is resting easily at the Dunbar.

Election of officers of the Girl Reserve of the "Y" was held Tuesday afternoon. Miss Grace Harris, Pres.; Fay Dickson, Vice-Pres.; Junita Terry, Secy.; Aileen McDaniel, Treas. The records of these girls are clear of demerits. We see by an Eastern paper that Mr. Noah D. Thompson has celebrated another birthday. Congratulations, Mr. Thompson. Sorry, but that is a thing that happens every day to someone. Asilimar delegates of Girl Reserve Conference are Grace Harris, Constance Boring, Fay Dickson, Aileen McDaniel, Jessie Rayford and Genevieve Catley. The recently formed S. C. A. A. (Student Club Athletic Association) is proving a big attraction at the Y. W. C. A. Each girl belonging to the club upon winning 1000 points will receive a sweater with a letter engra- dured upon it. Two girls already rating high are June Valley and Hazel Thomas. "A Hen Party" composed of two very well known young ladies in lit- ature and social worlds—Mrs. Fay Jackson Robinson and Miss Lucille Martin took place last week. "Laz- atus Laughed" proved rather tragic to the two gay, bright, laughing, young women, but a short visit to the "Alpa- tus" affair (20th Century only) brought back the usual spirits. Miss Emma Lu Sayers is still very ill, but all her friends are hoping to see her up soon, working and help- ing others on the way "up." I'll be there and How! June 19, 15th and main.

BIG GOSPEL TENT NEWS Eight hundred interested visitors at the BIG GOSPEL TENT 20th, and Central Ave., listened last Sunday night to Evangelist P. G. Rodgers present the subject of DREAMS. Is it possible for them to come true. Evangelist Rodgers dwelt upon dreams as recorded in the scriptures, especially the dream of Nebuchadnezzar and proved that this dream of Babylon's king was a mighty revelation for all nations from the King's day to the end of the Christian era. Sunday night June 17 Mr. Rodgers will preach at 8 p.m. upon the subject of: "THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES," and to miss this rare—yet up-to-date talk will be a serious mistake to the many persons who ask over and over the question, "Why are our present days omnious?" Services are held every night at 8 p.m. during the months of June and July and possibly two months in August. The tent is clean, well lighted, orderly and every visitor is made to feel at home. Plenty of new chairs and a warm floor arrangement makes the grounds safe healthwise. All are welcome. WATCH 'US GROW!

Pastor Griffith took as a subject: "Faults in Child Life and Objectives in Child Training." His text was "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." There was an excellent attendance at services both morning and evening. The evening services were under the auspices of the Sunday School. Misses Mary Ruth Banks, Mrs. Nell Johnson, Miss Isadore Hampton and Mrs. Barnes were the committee in charge. The children surprised even the committee in the excellence with which they rendered the program. Look for announcement of next Sunday services elsewhere in this paper. Rev. S. M. Beane will preach Sunday morning, June 24th for the first time since his return from vacation. The members of the church have prepared an excellent program of wel come featuring each department. Come and help the church celebrate this occasion. McALESTER AND MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA (For The Associated Negro Press) I am pretty well convinced that Oklahoma is about at the bottom as to musical status among the southern states. This was all the more noticeable coming from Louisiana and south and central Texas, where the voices I heard were most beautiful. In Oklahoma not only were the voices poor, but there was little evidence of training, and no evidence at all of a conception of good musical literature. WAY PASTOR JORDAN, VENICE, 1ST BAPTIST CHURCH, THANKS PUBLIC As for God, His way is perfect, the word of the Lord is tried, He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him. Pea. 19:30. They who would be happy in this world or in the world to come must forsake ways that are selfish and sinfully human or merely seem so and take the way of God. God Himself, the true and living God, must be taken into life which would be truly successful. His ways are perfect; human ways are full of injustice, unkindness, prejudice, self-seeking, oppression, abominable selfishness that makes neither man nor his neighbor happy. David was a lover of God, and curiously enough he was a successful man, a man of gift, talent, power, popularity. Besides all this he was what men would call a "self-made man." But he would not allow it so, he was, according to his testimony, a God-made, God-led, God-helped, God-kept man. He said, "It is God that girddeth me with strength and maketh my way perfect." He claimed as his own no goodness, no power, no genius, no talent, no gift, no success. He passed all the glory up to the Lord and Glorified God in all he did. He took the blame of his sins, but his very failures, let alone his success, he put up to God. This gave David rest of soul and kept his hold on heaven. David delighted to celebrate the ways of God, because he had in him the spirit of Jesus Christ. No one could persuade him that there was no God, he called the man who said such a thing, a tool. Ps. 36:53. And fool he is, my friends, no matter how many so-called scientific notions his mind may have imbibed, how many discoveries he may have made, or how many inventions he may have discovered, there is somebody above him who knew how to make him and billions like him. To learn other things and lose the knowledge of his Maker, marks a man as the biggest, the poorest fool of all. David was no such fool. He had a soul and knew it, he was wonderfully made and knew it. Any scientist, not a fool, coming upon an invention, functioning as David's mind and body did would at once want to know who did it, he would know that somebody must have made such a machine; blind force couldn't do it. Intelligence, supreme intelligence, designing, all knowing intelligence alone could have made man. Now, every inventor wants the credit it or his invention, every honest person wants to properly bestow that credit. No wonder David said it was a fool who said there was no God, he knew what he was talking about. **OUGHT TO KNOW HIM** Moreover David felt: that if there was a God, it was a credit and happiness to him to know Him both in his soul and spirit; so he sought him till he, found Him. That is done by believing in Him and conforming to His will. If any man will do His will, said the Great Master, God manifest in the flesh—"If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine." There is no other way, God's way is perfect. Pride seeks about for another way, faits and perishes. And, when you know God you want your children and every one also to know Him, David did. PERFECT Now a human being who thinks he can't be improved on is worse than a fool, he is conceited, and conceit is supreme folly. But there is one being whose way is perfect, perfect in source, perfect in intention, perfect in working, perfect in result. God's way of life or the adjustment of life's affairs is perfect. God shows us how to do the thing right, though His way is often foolish to men. If you want to see how a thing ought to be done, how any moral or social problem should be solved, see what God's word says about it. His word is right, Ps. 3:4:6. We should not add to it nor take from it. He does not need our wisdom. He planned every detail of Solomon's temple, which was a type and picture of the human life. He did not allow man to design His own altars. Ex. 20. He is jealous of His own wisdom, for He knows it is perfect. He would have us learn, yes, it is His glory to have us find out things. His eyes preserve knowledge. He delights in the activities of our intellect in the industry of the human mind and hand. But "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge," His word is truth; and His way is right because it is perfect. Perfect. happiness is in the way of God and His way is perfect. Oh brethren, oh friends, shall we not seek that way? Shall we not follow it gladly, when we have found it? That is the highest wisdom, the greatest happiness—happiness perfect and eternal! Have you found His way? Is your life therein? Ps. 119. "Blessed are the undefiled in the way who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are they who keep His commands and who seek Him with the whole heart. Men know this to be true whether they choose His way or not. David had not been perfect. He had erred and he had suffered. Then he got to the Way. He had straightened up in the Way. He had set His face like a flint and God was gracious and had spoken peace to His soul and "made his way perfect." O ye, who long after a perfect way, it is found in the blood bought atonement, in giving up all sin and practicing the presence of God. He alone can make the way perfect. He will go before us and make the darkness THE EDITOR REV. J. W. JORDAN The pastor of the 1st Bapt ers and members thereof desi generous support and interest dedication of the new church Also to extend to the poe tion when in Venice to visit our therein. The pastor of the 1st Baptist Church on behalf of the officers and members thereof desires to thank the public for its generous support and interest in the successful building and dedication of the new church edifice.

DONES The City School of El Centro closed the year's work last Friday. The several exercises and entertainments of the school have afforded a colorful week for the community. The Baccalaureate services were had Sunday evening, the Rev. T. N. Minor, pastor of the A. M. E. Church preaching the sermon. All the churches of the community joined in the service which was held in the School Auditorium. Monday evening the graduating exercises of the elementary school were had. Diplomas were presented by W. A. Tondro, clerk of the Board of Trustees. During the week the daily press gave generous space to the activities of the school. Members of the press attended all the services and exercises. In many instances the activities were given front page space. The following is the estimate of the Editress of the Imperial Valley Press as it appeared in the paper Friday, June 1st. "DIPLOMAS GIVEN TO STUDENTS AT EASTSIDE SCHOOL AT EASTSIDE SCHOOL "Before an audience which packed the auditorium of the Eastside School and left interested spectators standing in the balls and outside, where they sawed and heard as best the then famous members of the Eastside Junior College and high school class of 1928 last night held their commencement exercises. "From beginning to end the graduation program was a decided success. In the numbers contributed by the graduates themselves exulted leadership of the teachers and the study made by the pupils was most noticeable. Orations were well delivered and contained carefully selected subject matter, each one representing the individual work of the young man or woman presenting it. Splendid musical selections added to the success of the evening. "The program opened with a processional, "Praise Ye the Father," (Gounod), sung by the glee club, which filed down the aisle from the back of the auditorium. Members of the class of 1929, led by Alma Perkins, acted as an escort of honor, preceding the seniors. Both boys and girls of the class were dressed in white. Next in the line came two tiny flower girls, Lorraine MeeG and Gene Payne, and their young escort, Maceo Kuykendall, carrying baskets of flowers, preceded the graduates who were led by Geneva Young. "The girls, each dressed in a charming organy frock of a different shade, and carrying beautiful arm bouquets to harmonize with their costumes, together with the young men dressed in white, made a decidedly pleasing appearance. Escorted by the Juniors, the eight members of the graduating class took their places on the platform, where school board trustees of Central Union, High School district, several members of the Eastside school faculty and honor guests were seated. "Students Give Orations" "The invocation, pronounced by Rev. C. H. Hampton of Los Angeles, opened the formal program. "The Prayer Perfect." (Stenton) was impressively sung by the Girls' Glee Club under the leadership of Mrs. John Culberson. "Speakering forcefully on 'The Sources of Our Civilization.' Margaret Singleton gave the first oration, which served to trace our cultural origin from the Egyptians down thru the Greeks, Romans and other nations which have been leaders of world thought. "In Methods of Transportation" pleasingly given by Ruth DoseBose, told something of the history of transportation from the most primitive times to the modern days of the airplane. "A double number, 'A Brown Bird Singing,' and 'Old King Cole,' was sung by the Boys' Glee Club preceding the next oration, 'Self Culture,' by Shebena Finney, which brought out a number of excellent thoughts on methods of individual improvement. "America's Tenth Man," by X. O. Dixon was a forceful and interesting discussion of the Negro population of America, and presented many statistics showing something of the constructive contributions that race is making to this country's life. "A pleasing violin solo. 'Comedie Lyrique' (massanet) was given by Mrs. John Culberson. Dubois McGee in an able oration, spoke on "The Development of the Constitution of the United States," showing a thorough mastery of the lesser known facts of Large Wholesale Shoe Company Opens Its Warehouses To The Public The Olcovich Shoe Company, wholesale shoe distributors located at 224-226-228 South Hill Street—the largest concern of its kind in the West are announcing the opening of their huge warehouses to the public and the inauguration of a new policy of selling shoes at retail at very low prices. This announcement will be welcome news to the thousands of folks in Los Angeles who are interested in saving money on their shoes and in particular to the family folks—for there is hardly any limit to the savings that a concern of this size can accomplish—Adv history which influenced the development of our constitution. Ethel M. Payne charmingly sang, "The Gwallow's' by Cowen. "The address of the evening, was given by Dr. W. D. Carter of Passdens who spoke on "The After Self." Changing his subject from his prepared address on the Negro problem in order to adapt his talk to the lateness of the hour, Dr Carter proved himself an able extemporaneous speaker. Sound advice to the graduates on how to build their lives now for the 'after self' of the days to come was impressively given. "In a well worded oration Geneva Young, who spoke on 'Americanism,' gave an inspiring interpretation of that often misused word, Democracy and the place of the Colored race in the destiny of America were discussed. The class song, 'Nightfall in Granada' was effectively sung. Presentation of the class was made by Principal W. A. Payne, and diplomas awarded by R. P. Moore, president of the board of trustees. "The presentation of the W. C. T. U. essay contest medals, two of which were won by Neida Brown, following which the class and their guests adjourned to the community club house where Principal and Mrs. W. A. Payne tendered a delightful reception in honor of the graduates." Among thq several visitors to EI Centro during the past week were: Dr. W. D. Carter, Passdens; Rev. C. H. Hampton, Los Angeles; Mrs. Delmar Long, Mrs. William Anderson, Messrs. Neeley and Delmar Long of San Diego; Mrs. Mattie S. Nelson, Los Angeles; Mr. T. W. Payne, Hermosa Beach; Mesdames D. E. Wood and W. D. White of Los Angeles and Messrs. Frank Williams and J. Hill of Los Angeles. The Imperial Valley Branch of the Southern California Alumni Association held Sand Dune Party last Tuesday evening. Honoring Mrs. Mattie S. Nelson, Mrs. R. P. Augustus entertained at breakfast last Saturday morning Mesdames W. A. Payne, Longa Martin, Mrs. L. Sharpe, Los Angeles. Mrs. H. A. Burnham, City Editor of the Imperial Valley Press gave a delightful Lawn Party at her residence honoring the graduates of the East Side High School. Guests present included the graduates, members of the faculty, and members of the Junior class. A Friendly Comparison Los Angeles claims a colored population of about 45,000; Pasadena claims a colored population of about 3,000. Los Angeles in her recent N. A. A. C. P. Baby Contest raised approximately 5,600. Pasadena in recent Baby Contest raised $238.18. Pasadena raised, therefore, a little more than $779 per thousand of her colored population; so that measured by the Pasadena standard, Los Angeles ought have raised not less than 45 times $779, or the sum of $35,055. Now, our dear, good "Big Sis," Miss Los Angeles, take off those rose-colored goggles of yours and look well. Can you not plainly see that your "Lil Sis." Miss Pasadena, deserves, for the present at least, the title of Banner City for the money raised in the N. A. A. C. P. national baby contest? Bye, bye, "Big Sis."

In addition, two high-powered short wave stations will keep South America, Europe, Agia, Australia and New Zealand in touch with the conventiohs. It will tequire more than 16,000 miles of telephone wires to effect this vast radio ‘hook-up. There will be a battery of microphones on'the speak- ers’ platform and others near the bands that will enliven the dull sessions of the conventions. More microphones will pick up the cheers and jeers, the roars and even the whispers of the party hosts. And announcers will tell the story as it is enacted before their eyes. . Millions will “attend” the conventions and go campaigning with the nominees. The inevitable result must be a more intelli- gent and better informed voter in November. The: voter who is easily swayed when he is part of a crowd uittler the voice of a seasoned spellbinder may be bafflingly calm.as he listens in from his own home. Immune from mass psychology, he may be more critical in his judgments of partisan plead and promises. The radio tempts the demagogue, yet is limits his influence, ‘At this time of the year this is a nation with but a single thought—vacation. “fndependence Day will find vacation time im full swing. And during the succeeding two months a large percentage of the people of the United States will have theif annual summer ‘furlough from the cares and labors of making a living. For some the vacation will be a week, or perhaps only a day. A larger number will drop their tools for fifteen days. A few more fortunate ones will extend their ‘playtime over a month, two months or three months, . The vacation is an all-revealing barometer of |prosperity. There is no other country in the world where wage earners and workers for small salaries can afford the luxury of{a vacation trip, which is expensive, and enjoyed at the additional expense of loss of earnings during the period of ebsence from work. American, workers are so little the slavés of that machine caled industry ‘and business arid have so little craving for gold for its own sake that they collectively forfeit hundreds of mil- lions of wage and salary dollars for the sake of a vacation tour or sojourn. 3 Since the war the vacation has approached universality among salaried workers*in the United States. Most office and store employes get a week or fifteen days with pay. But the fact that he gets no pay while away does not deprive the skiled wage earner of his motor trip, plunge in the surf or camping party. EE ee errs sean + Two xoversment chemists in Jeshiigton are credited with having perfected a process for manbfacturing true maple flavoring. The process has been patented and is already being used by one large manufacturer. If it is all that is claimed for it, epicures the world over will some day raise a towering monv- ment in honor- of these two benefactors of humanity. Certainly nothing evolved heretofore has quite counter- feited the elusive flavor and fragrance of real maple syrup. Hundreds of imitations of nature’s swedt handiwork have made their. appearance on grocers’ shelves, but none has been able to-deceive the taste. “The gastronorer knows of nothing that is more in need of a substitute, to augment the supply of the genuine product, than taple sugar.

Served with maple syrup these culinary inven- tions are worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with ambrosia and nectar, and are probably better than these ‘fabled delicacies. For the first six months or so a traffic problem in a town is pointed to with pride. . A fiction writer has to get on a move these days to com- plete his book while yet it is fiction.

H. (JACK) BEAN FOR SUPERVISOR HEADQUARTERS, 3987. SO. J. H. (Jack) Bean, member of the county board of supuervisors from the Second District, announced today that he would be a candidate for elec- Uon to succeed himeelf, His campaign, which was opened this week with headquarters at 3987 South eVrmont Avenue, will be made on a platferm of economy in government and. on his recor dus @ public official. For seven years he was a member of the Board of Education and during the Jast ten years bas been a Supervisor. “One of the reasons T have consent- ed to become a candidate for re-elec- ton is the large amount of unfinished work in the Welfare division, of which Tam chairman”, said Mr. Bean. “Foll- owing my investiagation of welfare work! in several Eastern tities, the county board mapped out a, program for public welfare that is barély under way. This includes an industrial home for gitls, which already has been .es- tablished, a1 industrial sctol for boys, yet to be organized and an in- dustrial farm for all aduls_ prisoners where they will be productive and not remain a charge on the county.” Mr. Bean is responsible for the es- tablishment of the county hott or road camps where prisoners give sentences in local courts are placed it labor o nthe county high ways. These camps have been so sticcessfal_ that five of them are now maintained. “We have found that if a prisoner is placed at productive labor, we are fessening his chances of returning to crime when he wins his freedom”. said Mr. Bean, “Criminologists tell us men cannot be reformed in idleness, nor by the unproductive occupation of breaking rocks. Americans are natural producers and we plan to put our prisoners at productive labor. Three beneficial results will be the outcome. First, the prisoners will cease to be a charge of about $1.25 a day each on the taxpayers: second, they will not live in idleness, and lastly, they will be taught useful occupations that will aid them in making a living when they are released.’ ‘Our first move in this progfam was the establishment of the county road camps. This was followed by the El Retiro Home or school for girls. There young girls are taught useful trades and occupations. Now, we have under consideration such a home for delinquent boys. Eventually we plan to build an industrial plant tor all prisoners. They will b& required to make supplies for the county, such as brooms, mops, ete, and such articles that will not bring their work into competition with private industry.” “The county jail, under this plan, would become only’ a place of deten- ‘ion of prisoners awaiting trial, Those sentenced to Prison would be turned over to the state, while those given county jail sentences would be taken fo the industrial farm or plant, where tha yowuld be required to take up some useful occupation, We believe chat such a procedure will not only jower the erie records, but be the means of saving many first offenders rom a eriminal career.” Mr. Bean is a family man wif has ived in the Second district for thirty- hnree years.

That to your hands was entrusted the torch whose pure white flame, flooding down the ages seeking and revegling the dark corners of the earth was to bring to the uncivilized peoples inhabiting these corners the fruits of your so called civilization, Now can you turn to the pages of where indelibly encrusted are ‘the fruits of your tiandwork and after having read and digested, can you , still feel that with this white brain of yours which through an unpolluted ime of white ancestery has endowed you with a superior intelligence you have done your duty by the uncivil ‘zed races you have subdued? Have you taken them by the hand. as you would a little child, and helped them over the rough ‘places you knew by past experience lay in their pathway? Have you, I say, for thelr, own good, helped them to’ see the errors which blocked their pro- gress, or have used the cunning of your white brain, and through devious Ways end means kept them in Intel lectual ignorance? ‘When the American Indian fled’ in consternation at the little piece of wood, that belched fire in the hands of the white man, when he stood back in awe and regarded that man as supernatural, how did that man use that power? True we have a few iso- lated. instances. of which we should be justly proud: William Penn and the Quakers, who treated the Indian from a humanitarion standpoint were loved by them and never molested But what have we left today of the once strong. viril savage that roamed this country? True he wes a savage but what did the vaunted vulture of the white man bring to him? He was inveigled out of his inheritance, pol- luted by disease, shoved here and there, until today he stands, what is left of him, a living accusation of the fruits of civilization. Another race which, while thé tho of exploitation ‘Aifferentiated that employed tn subduing other erior races, still is a mar on the Fesentcheon of the white man, is the American Negro. Brought from an equatorial gountry, where climate and | conditions required that he exert him- sel but little and put to work in a| temperate climate and at times and in some cases under brutalizing cou- ditions, until at last even a portion of the’ white population revolted at these conditions. He has proven in many cases since his freedom that with education and elightenment the spiritual spark within him will lift him to the plane of the fittest regard: less of the stizma of the word slave Flaced upon him by the white man.

MULLINIKS A healthy ‘body is. dependent on many things, just which is the most important we. will not attempt to say, but will choose one subject, and leave the others for discussion in future ar- ticles. : at BREATHING An intelligent public need not be reminded of the importance of ven tilation, because they Were taught that in’ school. So we will begin at the organs of breathing, discussing thetr function and ‘result of lack o! function from. abnormalities. The nasal cavity should be kept free of ob- structions to petmit normal air pas. Sage at all times,as our Mouth ts not intended for breating purposes it doesn't cgrry the air over enough mucus surface to warm It sufficiently. Ipyour masal cavity becomes obstruct: €4 do not worry along taking air into your lungs by mouth, thereby causing Greater bodily injury and larger doc tor bill when you. are forced to go to him. The reason you should not whit fs due to the fact that cbld air taken into your lungs causes a constriction of the blood vessels around alvesiae (air sacs) lessening the function of your lungs. The Pityonx especislly the nasal portion is subject to obstruction from enlarged tonsllar tissue which not on- ly obstructs the air passage but feeds Dus into the system causing a great variety of complications ‘The Larynx or votce box may, by enlargement, ‘cause difficulty "in breathing! end loss of the voice also. ‘The Other organs of breathing we will name and pass over with but It tle commendt because people are not so prone to neglect them, as the pain and position of these, when even some simple thing happens, Is considered a serious matter, one which requires professional advice at once. So we will name them, then pass on—Trac- hea, Bronchi, Lungs, Theracic Cavity with its muscles nd Disphreerm. _ Effect of Position on Breathing The position, or posture, of our body has a vety great deal to do with breathing. Standing with shoulders drooped and abdomen thrust forward or sitting on the middle of back in- stead of the end of spine, never did nor can promote normal breathing. Any person who does either of these things or who is too lazy to use the thoracic museles in breathing, is not to be pitied when a stomach is de veloped which looks like a front porch or bay window. The sad part of it is, people guilty of such habits are seldom let off so lightly. but are victims of some ‘greater malady such as tuberculosis. ‘Those whd read this Hrtyete will get more enjoyment from ve and their work, if upon rising each morning they will stand before an open window and breathe twelve full breaths, all the air the lungs will hold, then dar- ing the day see that pe lungs are filled to full capacity at least six times during each hour. Above all else stand and alt properly. Why Stress Breathing? Arond the air sacs in the lungs are great collections of blood vessels which have brought blood to be freed from a great quantity of carbon di- oxide (a poison gas) and to take up oxygen which the body’ needs. The uses of oxygen by the’ bddy are many, it has @ part in all bodily functions. however we will discuss only one at this time. Food taken into the body is not used by the cells if the blood does not contain a suffictent quantity of oxygen to complete the chemical reaction. To illustrate an automobile engine must have a spark of electric: ity before the gas is burned, in the same way the cells of body must have oxygen before the food carried to them by the blood can be burned, or neutralized. Again a coal fire with- out draught gives little heat and @ great amount of clinkere and potson- ous gas. In like manner the cell func tion in @ blood media not rich in oxy- gen forms poisonous substances harm. ful to the body. Therefore use all the lungs you were given by the Creater and. be free from pains so you my get the full enjoyment of your lite, work and happiness.

RUSHING PLANS FOR TRAIN PLANE LINE Preparations are well under way for the new Santa Fe-Air Transport service between Los Angeles and New York, and the innovation of travelling from coast to coast within 48 hours is the chief topic of conversation in transportation circles in the east, according to Jas.

The fast "Train and Plane" service, as it will be officially known, is being worked out and an announcement of the schedules and the approximate date for the inaugurating of the flights in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Railroad in the east and the Santa Fe in the West will constitute a service to New York less than 48 hours.

PULLMAN PORTERS' STRIKE CALLED IOFOF Porters and Maids totaling 7000, reused to strike Friday noon as ordered by their International President President and Organizer A. Phillip Randolph, acting upon advice from President Green of the American Federation of Labor this official saying that 'Economic conditions are unfavorable to the success of a strike." The demands of a $150 per month scale and a 240 hour working month are the contention. A strike seemed to be the only and last resort for this class of employees to gain that which they have been robbed of for some considerable time. Arthur Brishane "The One Man University" says: President Green of the American Federation of Labor renders a service to the public and the porters by avoiding a Pullman Porter Strike. Mr. Brishane like the local Editor of the Los Angeles Examiner under issue of May 15th says: The average porter of a pullman car gets $870 a year from the Pullman Company and $672 from its patrons in tips. Geo. S. Grant, Local Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters Says: The whole problem of tips and Pullman Porters turns around the question of whether the porter is a railroad Employee rendering a necessary service and entitled to a living wage upon which he can depend or whether he is some sort of an inferior animal who should be satisfied with and qualified for the opportunity to work and beg tips in other words is a porter a man like other railroad men entitled to the same treatment, that is a living wage, fair hours, and conditions of work that the other railroad men enjoy. Is the Pullman Company being paid by the public for the service which the porter helps to render. Let Mr. Brisbane and the writer of the above article place themselves in the position of being compelled to depend for his economic sustenance upon the whims of surface or ones pet vanity, that of tipping and he will get a different prospective of the situation.

I TELL you what the promoters said IN ANSWER to my questionnaire about mixed houts I WANT to tell all colored boxers and colored managers this: Don't wait till trouble comes to respect the papers or your race as much as the white people respect the colored papers. Although the papers of the Black Press is mostly weeklies, they are powerful and are recognized by the white press because they give close, intimate news and views that it is impossible to get except through dark glasses. YET MANY of our local ringmen have been heard to speak lightly of the very papers that contend for your rights, fought to get you in the game and are fighting to keep you in. Now the phone is busy and the mall weighted down with this plea: "Say, can't yo do something so our boys will get to box? They are all idle! Here is the answer. THE QLYMPIC says, as to mixed bouts: "We are always in favor of colored boxes and use them as often as we can find opponents who will fight them. Mixed bouts draw well, if the matches are good." ST SAENS: Glad to use the boys but cannot find enough white boys to match them with. MAIN ST. A. C.: We have never stopped mixing them up and never will as long as we can get the boys to box. Most of the colored boys who started here won't box for us now, but they are always welcome. HOLLYWOOD: A BIG HEAVY SILENCE. Tiger Joe Rivers Growls At The Gang Tiger Joe Rivers is all peeved up according to manager De Lavillade, who has ben trying to keep him under cover till he be finishes training him for a big comeback. Rivers was, before he stopped off the flat train for a year and a half, one of the best middleweights in the West. Now he is "all hot and bothered." Don't want to stay "put." He is asking for Bert Collis, Dave Shade, anybody so it's Tiger meat. Don't tell it, the Tiger knocked out his last twelve men out of 24, just before he quit the game! MACH HOUSE TO IIGHT HARRY LEE Mack House, former heavyweight champion of the Pacific Coast who had pulled a sensational string of one-round knock-outs all of last year is to fight Harry Lee in probably his last battle before leaving the Coast to join Joe Glazer at Chicago.

Negro "Track" Captain In New York University THE EDWARDS BROTHERS AS ATHLETES By William Pickens (For The Associated Negro Press) For the first time in human history there is a Negro as track captain in a New York University. He is Philip Edwards. "Phil" and "King", two black boys of New York City, whose native home is British Guiana, are leaders in athletics and college activities. Philip is a great athlete. His reputation has really lagged behind his achievements: he is not only the track champion of New York University, but holds the American 600 yard indoor championship and the Canadian records for both 600 yard and 1,000 yards. I being elected "captain", Philip holds another record: a record for recognition of the "minority races", for neither Jéw nor Negro has ever before been so honored in New York University athletics. And whenever a "minority" man gets such honor, believe us, he earns it. Both of these athletic brothers have the University "letter" now on their chest Edward King Edwards, Phil's brother, known among the boys as "King Edwards", recently won third place in the finals of the 220 yard dash in the Mid-Atlantic Track Meet. He had come in first in the "heats", but only third in "finals". We looked up the family of "Phil" and "King", and found that the whole family have brains and energy and brawn. We will be a firm believer in 'enuence' hereafter. Their father, Fitz R. Edwards, who lives now on 1838 Street in New York, was "Chief Magistrates Clerk" in British Guiana. LOS ANGELES, CALIF. FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1928 and their two sisters are real estate brokers in Harlem. Although the boys are tall, the sisters are short in height, but Miss Lucille Edwards is one of the real estate experts of the Metropolis. the mother, Mrs. Julia M. Edwards, sent her daughters to the beat schools in Gulana, where went the daughter of the Governor of the military officer and other prominent families. The parents believed in the "best" for the children. The boys are not only athletes but are honored in other college life activities: "Kink" is the Treasurer of the "International Y. M. C. A." at the University. I am not one of those lying optimists who pretend that color does not hinder you in the United States; but if you have some of this Edwards brand or grit in you, color will not altogether "prevent" you in any state. Willie Henry Back on Coast After "Sunny Jim" Williams Win Fresh from a victory over Sunny Jim Williams whom he defeated at Galveston, Tex., Willie Henry, known as the "Texas Steer" is back on the Coast. A rematch between he and Neal Clesby is in the offing, the bout to take place at Olympic Adultorium as a rematch.

A Wild 'Hello Everybody' Letter From Honolulu Kaluhi, Maul, May 19, 1928 Hello Los Angeles and Many Friends: I know all are surprised to hear from us, and our time has been tak- up so much, we really haven't had the time to write. We have been here now since the 23rd of April. After sailing from the Golden Gate we really had a wonderful trip, and only one of us was very spasick. Landing in Honolulu, we were met at the boat, and a very cordial welcome was extended to us. We played two weeks in Honolulu, and I must say it was a very successful engagement. There is one thing in particular I must say here in regard to the people here on the islands, thusly: should you do something that they appreciate they idolize you and after the show is finished at night, we have a task of selecting which party to go to. Not only one night a week, but all through the week. We have been entertained by Doctors, Lawyers, Police Sergeants and Chiefs and they were all too fine. The personnel of the show is: Girls—Gladys Jackson, Pauline Jokes, Thelma Porter, Mrs. James Rogers, Eva Bates, Comedians and Stars—Arclie Grant, James Rogers, Buddy Do-Laoch, Al Baldwin, Upshaw & Johnson, T. O. Hunt, E. Hendricks, Geo. Green; The Band—Ernest Hill, Edward Barnette, Baren Morehead, Happy Bud Joyner, Johnny White, Franc Shiver. Now, since you see who are all here you can draw your own conclusion. We have all made an impression and I can truthfully say as long as we stick together as much as we have, we will continue to do well as long as we are here. We are really one big family. Leaving Honolulu we went to Walluka, an overnight boat ride. Here is where we had the fish-feeding contest. Between Honolulu and Walluka is considered one of the toughest parts of the Pacific and we really thought so too. In Walluka we had the great pleasure of meeting Dr. Maples and family. He is a colored dentist and has been here for 27 years. His wife is from North Carolina; the two daughters were born here. One is a school teacher. He mentioned to a few of us, concerning conditions over here. Some of the natives here know very little concerning our race. They have been led to think the Negro can do very little or nothing. So when we presented our little offering, it had a tendency to enlighten them, from two sides or view, both humorous and intelligent. He said he really felt good over that one point. In Pain we met Mr. William Jones—a colored policeman here. He showed us a very delightful time. No one is really homesick yet; Thelma Porter has wished she could have brought her mother; Pauline Jones just mentioned how nice it would be if her mother was here to make her face up for her. Gladys Jackson has sighed many times, but in it all we are enjoying ourselves right on. Archie Grant sure does miss 12th and Central. I wouldn't mind it myself. I have some more interesting news next writing. Glad they have new company at the Lincoln. That makes things ah, so much better. The whole bunch will: appreciate any mail. So don't forget to write. Regards to all in the professional world. FRANK SHIVERS. P. O. Box 77, Honolulu, T. H. The Main Street Arena Kid Ponce and Eddie Brady are the two headliners on the Main Street Athletic Club fight program next Saturday night. Brady and Ponce, are considered to be real comers in featherweight ranks and they should put up a fast scrap when they collide. Matchmaker Carlo Curtis believes that one of the boys will be eliminated from the featherweight race when they tangle Saturday. In the semi-windup Mickey Fuente and Manual De La Cruz are down for a four rounder. Frank Funentes and Chester Butler, two welterweights clash in the special number. Fuentes made a decided hit last week at Main Street with his knockout wallop. Claude Varner and Earl Tarter meet in a tilt at 124 pounds. Bohky Gott and Tony Bevo are down for a short but sweet contest of four rounds. Charley Kaiser and Jose Garcia will battle at 112 pounds. Mickey-y Jennings and Frank Leonard will fight it out in the opener. Josephine Brown to be Tennis Instructor at Parkridge Country Club Courts According to reports, Los Angeles' crack tennis player, Josephine Brown, is to be tennis instructor at the new Parkridge Country Club courts. The courts are splendidly made and are situated at the foot of the hill upon which the club house sits and just across the road from the Parkridge airport. Miss Brown has gained much local fame by beating several crack white men and women players here. Junq 19, Novelty Nite. 15th and Main. Big 4. LONG TOM HAWKINS FIGHTS JACK LAWSON Long Tom Hawkins who knocked out big Sam Baker in four rounds at Pasadena arenas a week ago, fights Jack Lawson at San Diego. Hawkins who weighs 227 pounds, and is over six feet tall, has improved greatly since last year when he lost to Tony Fuente. Gold Champions in Match At Parkridge Contry Club Grounds Gold Champions in Match At Parkridge Contry Club Grounds The general public is being given the opportunity to witness what is destined to be one of the greatest golf matches ever played on local links at the new Parkridge Country Club. Four crack swatters of the elusive pill will battle with brassie, mashie stymie and the other various implements of war in the much heralded match. They are Barney Lucas and Chas. Ross, playing against Lem Grant and Oscar. Clisby. ALL CRACK GILFERS Clisby who is the brother of Neal, the famous pugilist, won the all-city championship of the defeated 16 in 1926 and stands out as one of the West's best golfers. Chas. Ross won the city championship in 1925 and Barney Lucas was the runner-up; all shooting scores that would make any professional proud to write home about.
