CALLING FOR A NEW DEAL
Our candidate for the Assembly, Editor Joseph B. Bass is presented to the voters of the 74th Assembly District upon his record as a citizen and conservative business man. Coming in our midst 16 years ago his life and achievement is an open book.
He has demonstrated his keen interest in public weal by a practical demonstration. If in need of soldiers to march the people have had only to call him. Every movement which tended for the uplift of mankind has always had his unqualified support.
In business he has demonstrated and been a decided success. His record for meeting his obligations are untarnished.
One of the prime requisites for leadership is to prove yourself before aspiring to show others the way.
All of these conditions our candidate possesses and we have no hesitancy in presenting him to the voters of the district as worthy in the highest degree for the consideration of the voters of the 74th Assembly District.
By order of the Campaign Committee of the
While enroute to Asilamar to attend the Inter-Denominational Missionary Conference last Monday morning, Rev. and Mrs. E. E. Lightner, accompanied by Miss Violet Makanye of South Africa, who came to Los Angeles as delegate to the World's S. S. Convention, met with a painful accident when the car, driven by Rev. Lightner was jammed by a truck and turned over pinning its occupants beneath.
Miss Makanye and Mrs. Lightner escaped serious injury, but Rev. Lightner is reported badly bruised. The trio is recovering at a Santa Barbara Hospital.
Mime. Florence Cole-Talbert Thrills Audience
Mime. Florence Cole-Talbert Thrills Audience
Sunday afternoon, as early as 2:00 o'clock, people from Los Angeles and Pasadena, in a steady line of match wended their way to Rose Bowl, because the news had been flashed abroad that Madam Florence Cole Talbert, assisted by Prof. Elmer C Bartlett's great N. A. A. C. P chorus, would sing for the people of Pasadena. The setting for the occasion, Rose Bowl, is beautiful and the stage, a bower of flowers, enhanced its beauty. The program was opened with several well chosen numbers by the Morris Concert Orchestra. "America," led by Capt. Reynolds, was rendered; "Miss California" called forth a heavy hand. Dr. James A. Leishman of the Colorado Street Presbyterian Church, offered the invocation and Mrs. Ollie Ann Robinson, of the Chicago Music School, read Dunbar's "Ode to Ethiopia."
After this, a group of children, led by the Bilbrew twins, scattered rose petals, upon which, Madam Talbert walked to the stage. She was a charming picture of womanly sweetness in a gown of silver cloth, picture hat to match and silver slippers. As she mounted the stage, she was presented with flowers by the children, and then, as talented little Melba Allen took her place at the piano, Pasadena's Rose Bowl rang out in song that in volume and sweetness surpassed any occasion of its kind.
Madam Talbert was certainly at her best last Sunday afternoon, and at the close of the program, she was literally swallowed by members of the other race who crowded about her clammering for a hand shake and an interview. It is reported that there were newspaper and other persons of literary standing who heard Madam Talbert Sunday afternoon for the first time and decided that she was fit timber for the Chicago opera. Too much praise cannot be given Mrs. Johnnie Harrison who was responsible for presenting Madam Talbert.

Political Pot Pie
From a simmer the political pot has begun to boil in the 4th Assembly District. Candidate Roberts all at once has discovered that he has in ten years secured a position for an attacke in the state legislature. Sixty days at 5 per, but what a miracle he performed.
The Bass-for-Assembly Club committee meeting at the Republica Cade turned out to be the greatest meeting yet. Beimful of enthusiasm and quite an addition to the club. Full arrangements were made for the big rally to be held at the New Hope Church, 15th and Paloma Streets, Monday evening, August 30th.
Endorsement was voted by the inter-denominational Alliance last Monday to Jack Bean for Supervisor and the body commended both J. B. Bass and F. M. Roberts to the consideration of the voters of their district.
Candidate J. B. Bass has received the endorsement of the Central Labor Council, The United Veterans of the Republic, The United Improvement Association. It looks like he is on his way to Sacramento.
Women promise to play an important part in politics this year, 1928. Locally it will be well to watch the result of Mrs. Charlotte A. Bass's management and that of Mrs. F. L. Shaw, who is conducting the campaign of her husband for Supervisor in the Second District.
Mrs. A. Hill, president of the West Side Improvement Association is one of the live wires in organization work and whatever she gets her hands to do will well taken care of, if she lines up politically whatever she is for has a valuable asset.

THE LINCOLN BEAUTY SCHOOL
HOLDS GRADUATION
EXERCISE
The Lincoln Beauty Salon had its Graduation Exercises in its beautiful parlors, 2319 Central Avenue, when a class of four were hired their diplomas, having successfully passed the required examination stipulated by the State Board, covering a period of six months.
This class was instructed by Mme. Gillespie, who has completed a thorough course in the Poro College at St. Louis, and has since taken a post course to better equip herself for the instruction of the many students that she has in charge. She took the post graduate course in Molar System and was a 1928 Graduate of Frank Wiggins Trade School, the first race woman to finish this course, from which school she received a diploma.
More than 50 guests were present who most heartily enjoyed the hospitality of the host. A dainty repast was served after the presentation of diplomas. Mrs. Stella Ross, of the well known Sweet Shop, presented the diplomas.
Miss Bessie Wills, one of the graduates, is a bride elect and left for New Orleans, Wednesday. The others were: Mrs. Claribelle Ashcraft, Mrs. Mattie Seldon and Mrs. Loretta James.
A thorough inspection was made of the equipment by the spectators who, in departing, declared the Lincoln Beauty Salon second to none on the coast.
The class is now open for students

The 25th Negro Achievement Hour over W. A. B. C., through the courtesy of Who's Who in Colored America was arranged by Edgar M. Grey of the New York News and dedicated to the workers of the Harlem Press. In addition to the musical program which included selections by Edward Steele, sightless pianist; Benjamin F. Ragsdale, tenor; Lena S. Roberts and Fay Canty, sopranos; J. Baynard Whitney, spoke on News Sources; Bessy J. Bearden on the influence of the Negro Press outside of New York; Edgar Grey gave the history of the development of the Negro Press and Geraldyn Dismond, a survey of Negro Women in Journalism. Mrs. Dismond read as follows:
Good evening, Radio audience.
At the outset permit me to state that any discussion of Negro women in journalism which is limited to seven minutes, and that is the time allotted to me, must necessarily be most cursory. It will not even allow a full and complete tabulation of the women members of the Fourth Estate. So I hope to accomplish two things—to give a fillip to your realization that we always have been and always shall be workers of the Press and to impress upon you how thoroughly we have invaded the profession.
Our first publication was Freedom's Journal which made its debut March 16, 1827, in the City of New York. Two years previous to that date bad ben born Mrs. Frances E. N. Harper, the journalist mother. From the scanty records which remain, I could not unearth the date on which she first published, but we find her a contributor to the Anglo-African which appeared in 1859. She has been followed by a host of women, the traditions of whom we still carry on.
Of these earlier women journalists two points are significant. First, because of the stress of the period in which they lived, they wrote on what is popularly called 'deep subjects'. The last time I heard the late T. Thomas Fortune talk on the present Day Negro press, he lamented the fact that our newspapers had permitted their lofty and solid material to be supplanted by comic strips, society chatter and sports. But our lady writers of fifty year ago must have given him much joy. They wrote on the evils of slavery, the horrors of intemperance; the injustice of disfranchisement. They published original poems depicting mother love, the trials and tribulations of their people, and the beauty and dependability of religion. They were praised for philosophical writings. Ida B. Wells Barnett, who now resides in Chicago and is still an active figure in affairs, was known as the Princess of the Press, not because she contributed too many publications, although her list was long, but because she so ably wrote on political topics as well as problems peculiar to women. It was not until years later that we find Miss A. L. Tilghman, assisted by Lucinda Bragg Adams, editing the Musical Messenger, a magazine devoted exclusively to music, or Mrs. A. E. Johnson who dared to venture forth with the Joy, an eight page monthly for purely literary work. In only one place in Garland, Penn, we do we find mention of a society editor, Miss Lillian A. Lewis of Boston, contributed a They Say column in the Boston Advocate which later developed into a society department. Unusual social events were reported as special articles, and the personal, slangy chatter with which a number of us now delight our readers was unheard of then.
The second fact of importance concerning the earlier women writers is that they were represented in all departments of the profession. For example, there were a number of women editors of departments of Our Women and Children, published, in Louisville in the eighties. Prof. Mary Virginia Cook was at one time editor of its Educational department; Miss Lucy Wilmot Smith, its Woman's department; Miss Ione R. Wood, its Temperance department and Mrs. Ria B. Wells Barnett served as editor-in-chief. Nor was she the only editor. Mrs. M. E. Lambert edited the St.
Dr. James A. Bray, General Secretary of the C. M. E. Church will preach Sunday, 11 A. M., at Phillips Temple C. M. E. Church, 42nd and Wadsworth Sts. The public is invited to bear this speaker who has a reputation as America's foremost preacher and lecturer. He served as president of Lan- and Miles Memorial College for a number of years, from which position he was elected General Secretary or Education. Come assemble. Come and hear him!
Come early! Come and hear him!
MURDERS WIFE
Because he bad become jealous of the attentions a Mexican was paying his Mexican wife, Mr. White shot and killed her Tuesday, July 24th in front of 752 East 11th Street. Mr. White was an elderly man while his wife was young. She was employed at the Empire Laundry.
Mrs. J. W. Brown Of N. Y. Attends S. S. Congress
Mrs. J. W. Prown, the wife of Dr. J. W. Brown, pastor of the far-famed Mother Zion Church of New York City, who has ben here in attendance upon the World's Sunday School Congress for the past fortnight, was a visitor to the office of the California Engle last Tuesday. She will leave on next Monday for San Francisco and will embark from there for Honolulu where she will spend her vacation, returning in September for her home via Portland, Oregon.
Mrs. Brown has traveled extensively perhaps more than any other of her sex of our group. Only last year she toured the entire Archipelago of the West Indies from Trinidad to Haiti. She has toured Europe, the Holy Land, all of Northern Africa, all of these travels were made as vacation periods for the wife of the distinguished prelate, the pastor of Mother Zion Church.
Mrs. Brown declares this visit her most illuminating and interesting and declares the climate the greatest which she has encountered and is all praise for Southern California.

Mossell who still lives in Philadelphia was a member of the reportorial staff of several white dailies in Philadelphia, and it was she who first urged an Associated Negro Press Service. There was even a woman business manager, Mrs. C. C. Stumm of the National Monitor and a few publishers, Mrs. Ida B. Wells Barnett who put out the Memphis Free Speech, Miss A. L. Tilghman whom I have mentioned as the published of the Musical Messenger, and Mrs. Johnson of The Joy. Practically all of the earlier newspaper women were columns and feature writers contributing to a dozen or more papers and they were particularly fond of nome de plumes.
Of the present day women journalists the greater number are writers of society news. A disgruntled male of the Fourth Estate made the remark in my presence that the society editors were selected not because they had an iota of ability but because they enjoyed certain social positions. I couldn't help laughing up my sleeve, because the statement in a measure (Continued on Page Six)
World S. S. Delegates of Zion Church in Group Conference
The A. M. E. Zion delegates to the World Sunday School Convention held their group conference at the Somerville Hotel last Saturday afternoon. The conference followed an elaborate luncheon in the mezzanine section of the hotel dining room. Approximately one hundred delegates and visitors were present and heard reports on the various seminars of the convention. Informative surveys and new theories advanced in seminars relating to religious education, were discussed by prominent churchmen. The group conference was presided over by Bishop W. J. Walls of Charlotte, North Carolina, who is a member of the International Committee of the World Sunday School Convention, also chairman of the Zion delegation. Associated with Bishop Walls in the conference, was Bishop J. W. Martin, of Los Angeles, another outstanding character of the convention.
J. W. Eichelberger of Chicago, Director of Religious Education of the Zion Church, discussed plans for putting into effect the program of the convention for the training of young people. Professor Eichelberger is one of the highest authorities in the field of religious education in the United States. He will soon receive a doctor's degree from Northwestern University in recognition of his extraordinary attainments in this particular line. Closely associated with Professor Eichelberger in the promotion of religious education is Professor Aaron Brown of Pensacola, Florida, head of the Department of the Varick Christian Endeavor of the A. M. E. Zion Church, who gave an impressive review of the work taken up in seminars.
Other prominent speakers at the group conference were Mrs. J. W. Brown, wife of Pastor J. W. Brown of Mother Zion Church, New York; Mrs. C. C. Alleyne, the wife of Bishop C. C. Alleyne and Mrs. McClendon of New York; Miss Lillian Browder of Chicago; Miss Pearl A. Johnson of Pensacola, Florida; Rev. D. D. Mattox of Sacramento, Calif. and Mrs. J. W. Martin and Mrs. I. Albert Moore of Los Angeles.
Miss Nannie Burroughs of Washington and Doctor Morris of the Publication Department of the A. M. E. Church, were among the visitors from other denominations who entered actively into the group discussions.
The A. M. E. Zion denomination had the largest delegation of any of the American colored churches represented at this World Sunday School Convention. This delegation was so organized and directed that one or more of its members was present at every seminar and observed every activity of the world gathering, the information obtained from all sources being brought to the group conference for general review and dissemination.
Amid clanging gong of Police Ambulance and Patrol, a crowd swept around the corner, to the residence of Mrs. Green, 1156 E. 11th St. to determine the cause of all the commotion. There they discovered instead of someone shot, or with his throat cut, just a little boy in the arms of one of the ambulance attendants.
Upon further inquiries from the mother, it was discovered that the child while playing in the back yard had found something and eaten it. The mother became alarmed when the child, little Wayford Green, aged 3, babbled incoherently, and revealed a greenish hue inside the mouth and over the face. The child was removed to the Receiving Hospital where the police surgeon pronounced him not serious after a thorough examination. He was then brought back home. The cause of greenish pallor, and the kind of poison the youngster took, still remains a mystery.
GIRLS' DAY AT FIRST A. M. E.
CHURCH
The interest of the Girls' Day program at First A. M. E. Church was accentuated last Sunday by a short speech on "Miss Constitution" by the National Oratorical Contest Champion, Carl Alberts at the eleven o'clock service.
At the morning service, the girls offered an intensely interesting program with Miss Bright, the speaker, who used as her theme—"What shall the Harvest Be"—at the conclusion of the sermonette, two sturdy looking young men and three little girls, ranging from three to five years, came forward and connected with the Church and this act caused a sort of revival of the fittest for Dr. Miller and the older members of the church.
LET OTHERS FOLLOW
WHERE THEY LEAD
Among the substantial business folk in this community are Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Clairette of 1340 East 15th Street.
It was nearly twenty years ago when this couple came West and decided to let down their bucket in Los Angeles. Mrs. Clairette does not hesitate to say that the road that leads to business success was rocky, but after these years or struggle, she says, "We are proud, not because we have succeeded for ourselves, but because we are able to help others by giving employment to from seven to eight men regularly.
The Clairettes are Truck contractors and handle jobs for some of the largest firms in Los Angeles.
More power to you, Mr. and Mrs. Clairette.
A WORTH WHILE EXAMPLE
Among the young men in the ministerial walk of life who furnish a splendid example for those who must come after him, is the Rev. Charles Dones, who, with his family, resides in the Temple street district.
Rev. Dones came to Los Angeles 18 years ago and his first act was to become a member of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. He was a serious Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. worker. A few years later, he heard the call to preach and became pastor of the Second Baptist Church at Redlands, where his ministry was very successful, but with the increase of family and responsibility. Rev. Dones had to give up this work at Redlands for something more lucrative.
And while he is not actively engaged in the ministry just now, he is, nevertheless, ministering to his family and to those who need him most.
We cite Mr. Dones because as a young man, he is a worth while example.

We are sometimes inclined to withhold recognition of the attainments of men because we are not socially acquainted with them.
We are of the opinion that Jesus had never met Caesar when the test coin was presented upon which was inscribed the ruler's likeness, but He said, in no uncertain terms, "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's."
Now, we ask that you bury your social discriminations and give credit where it is due.

Georgia Whites Cause Says M Trouble in Indiana Wilson groes (By: A. N. P.)
(By: A. N. P.)
Houston, Tex., July 12.—Democrats have a way of doing unexpected things, at unexpected times, in unexpected ways and in unexpected places. One of these unexpected things happened at the recent meeting of the National Democratic Convention, when a group of 100 singers of our group was presented for a fifty minutes concert at the opening of the Wednesday and Friday morning sessions of the convention.
The daily papers here made much of the fact that it was reported that Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, who was Houston's special guest, was opposed to having a group of Negro singers appear on the same platform where she was to be seated. Colonel Holsey, the sergeant-at-arms, espoused the cause of Mrs. Wilson, but in spite of this fact, Mrs. H. M. Garwood, chairman of the local music committee, stood her ground and won her contention that the singers whom she had invited should appear on the program according to pre-arranged plans. It was quite out of the ordinary to see a leading white woman of Houston, Texas, stand up and make an open contention against the wishes of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson in a matter where Negroes are involved.
This big chorus was under the direction of H. B. P. Johnson, director of Music for the National Sunday School Congress of which Rev. Henry Allen Boyd is secretary. Aside from the 25,000 persons who jammed the big convention, auditorium, these singers are said to have sung to the largest radio audience that has ever listened at one time to a chorus of our race.
Deny Press Excluded From Convention
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. C., June 11.—The story, which was published in several weeklies that Negro newspaper men were denied seats in the national convention in Kansas, was vigorously denied here Thursday by Melvin J. Chisum, A. L. Holsey, and C. A. Barnett. Instead it was stated Negro newspaper men were extended every courtesy, with Barnett, Holsey, Wilkins of the Kansas City Call and Davis of the Amsterdam News having seats 2 rows back of the national committee.

Richmond, Indiana, July 12.—The Automotive Gear Company, manufacturers of automobile supplies, with its factory located here, has a long standing policy of employing only Georgia white people in its manufacturing company. Even the janitors are whites from the southern state. At closing time the Automotive employees crowded the street cars and attempted to force Negro passengers to occupy a certain section of the car, in several instances treating them roughly.
The Negro protested and the chief or police notified the Automotive Company to advise their employees that they were not now in Georgia and that colored passengers had the same rights as other riders. If any more trouble occurred he promised to appoint a policeman to ride the cars and preserve order. He followed that message by stationing a big colored copper on the car for a few evenings, who whipped the heads of several recalcitrants. Peace now reigns.
Indiana Negroes Keep An Eye on Klan
(Bv: A. N. P.)
Indianapolis, July 11.—The boast of the indiana Klan that they would run the Negroes and Catholics out of Indiana may yet rise to plague it. 450,000 is the number of votes credited to those two elements. Conversation by a staff man of A. N. P. this week in the Hoosier Capital with a number of leading colored men, prominent in professional and business life revealed that they are determined to bend every energy in the coming elections to defeat the forces opposed to the best interests of the race.
Such men as Atty. Cornellius Richardson, an outstanding lawyer and political leader of Richmond, Indiana, Attys' Robert Bailey, and Brokenbour, F. B. Ransom, general manager of the Madam Walker Company, Fremont and Forrest Littlejohn, well-known democrat, all were unanimous in their declaration that the rights of Negroes in the state must be protected.
"Hoover will carry Indiana," was the prediction made by political in formants, "but the democratic state ticket is almost certain of election. The Klan has lost much of its power and prestige, but it still was able to dominate the last Republican primary. The Negro and Catholic vote, will decide the issue." Homer G. Phillips, president or the National Bar Association, spent a day here last week.

Los Angeles, Cal., July 11.—The "Miss California" contest, conducted by different cities of the state, resulted in victory for Miss Rosalind DePriest of Pasadena, who was formally crowned at the musical review and Grand Ball in the Shrine Auditorium on Saturday night in Los Angeles.

He told police he fired in self-defense when Stamps after leaving his home threatened him with a revolver.

K. Stagg, an employee of the Twentieth Century Life Insurance Company, which has offices in the second story of the same building where Mrs. Moffitt has her business.

HOTEL SOMERVILLE FULL
The Hotel Somerville has been running at full capacity during the entire week. Many distinguished guests from outside the State are registered. The delegates to Masonic and Eastern Star Convention are stopping in the Hotel. The people of Los Angeles are showing a great appreciation for this magnificent hotel as evidenced by the many reservations for breakfast and dinner parties given there.
The management informs us that several new subscribers have been added to the list already announced and the stock at $10.00 per share is going fast.
Suit, charging slander, was instituted by Atty, C. C. Wimbish of the law firm of Temple, Brown, Harewood, and Wimbish, after Mrs. Moffitt had explained to him that one of the waitresses in her restaurant had told her or remarks which Stagg had made about her. The lessees of the building are white and colored. Mrs. Moffitt is white and so are her waitress. The Twentieth Century Life Insurance Company is a white concern doing business in the colored district. Stagg is one of the white employees, and is reported by one of the waitresses to have called Mrs. Moffitt a "Nigger lover," claiming that she had a colored cab driver for a sweetheart:
Mrs. Moffitt who is married and living with her husband, charges that the slanderous remarks of Stagg have injured her reputation and her business. Stagg has filed an answer denying her charges. In an out-of court conversation he is reported to have explained that being a Texan he could not have suy but the kindliest of feelings for Negroes.

Birmingham, Ala., July 13.—Mystery surrounds the death of Mrs. Adeline Haynie, alias, Adeline Vann, whose body was found Monday night in her home when officers broke into the house.
According to the statement of the coroner's physician, the woman had been dead more than a week. Marks on her body indicated that she had been murdered and the house was locked from the outside with a padlock. Officers had passed the house several times during the week and had noticed the padlock. This seemed ed strange, and Monday night they broke in the door.
Entering the house they found that it had been ransacked and the body of the dead woman was found in the bed. The police believe that the woman came upon the thieves as they were ransacking the place, and they killed her. A search of the whole city is being made in the effort to apprehend the murderers.

Boot-blacking is a mighty good trade.
When there ain't nuthin' else to do;
Sawing wood and cutting grass, is al
right, when you're through.
I've plumb foretaken the barber trade.
I say, I do declare . . .
It's been a long time since I stood
around, and cut a lot of hair.
A lady asked me the other day,
To be her valet and chauffeur;
But by noon she gave me some green
back, and said I was a loafer.
I like that, sure I do.
Scrubbing floors and wringing mops.
But catching cold from the damp wet
floors to be considered too.
Preaching is a very fine thing,
Saving souls and money too . . .
And that will be my next best' job,

FAILURE TO MAKE TIME HANDI-
CAPS THE RACE
We as a people have many, handi-
caps to our success in life.
While some of these at present are
unavoidable, but others we bring on
ourselves by our own carelessness and
failure to do things as they should be
done and at the proper time.
The age old maxim: "Colored People's Time," seems to cling to us as one of the characteristics or the race, despite the fact we are making progress in many lines.
In this day when jobs are scarce and becoming scarce each year, it is to be regretted that more Negroes are taking their jobs by being late to their places of employment than for any other reason.
We seem to think that to be ten or fifteen minutes late is of little or no consequence since we are near the time we are supposed to be there.
Ten or fifteen minutes may not mean much to us who have little regard for time but it does mean a great deal to the employer who perhaps millions invested and many other people employed, when the absence of one employee for a few minutes even throw the whole machinery of the concern out of order.
The method we apply to our own situation such as when a meeting is scheduled to begin at eightthirty or nine will not do in this day when promptness and time mean so much to the success of any undertaking. But perhaps after all, the individual is not so much to blame for this state of affairs for people are just what they are trained to be.
Many of our children get this impression early in childhood, especially in their school days. There are more of our children late to school than those of any other group, and this for no other reason than many of the parents feel that it makes no difference if the child is a few minutes late getting to the school. This habit of being late grows up in the child and becomes a part of it and "When he is old he will not depart from it". Another thing which contributes to this habit of being late which is so common among us is the custom often used of announcing a meeting or a program from an hour to an hour and thirty minutes before time in order to get the people there at a certain time. This method is wrong and ought to be stopped for it only has a tendency to make us more careless and less punctual.
Many of our organizations go to pieces in a short while because we are often just opening our meetings when we should be closing them, and this custom follows us through everyday life. When we as a people can learn to value time, be punctual and responsible in meeting the demands of the present day, we will be one step nearer to solving the economic problem of the race.
SQ. LOS ANGELES HAS GREAT FUTURE

The subject of the evening sermon was "The Choice of Moses" as there was a large number of young people present at the evening service, in his sermon the pastor stressed the need of marking a wise choice using as an example the action of Moses in forsaking the loathing of the Pharaoh and the riches of Egypt to become associated with and cast his lot with the people of God.

A DELUXE TRAIN WITHOUT
PULLMAN'S
The New York Central has just inaugurated an express passenger train into their service covering a distance of 449 miles without even a parlor car. This train stopping at 17 principal station on its route from Buffalo to the observation car and one porter to care for the three coaches that constitute the equipment with a smoking car and a dining car.
BURLINGTON ACQUIRES MODERN
LOUNGE CARS
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy has recently received and placed in service five luxurious modern lounge cars, built by the Pullman Car and Manufacturing Corporation and designed entirely for lounging purposes, for Pullman passengers on the Black Hawk and Nebraska Limited trains operated by this road between Chicago and The Twin Cities and between Chicago, Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska. In addition to beautifully decorated and furnished lounging rooms, the special features of this car include an enclosed window with special glass windows designed to admit violet rays of the sun, a compact buffer and a women's lounge which puts this road as first to place cars of this type in service.
DINING CAR LOCAL TO OPEN
CLUB ROOMS
Negotiations on the club room site of the Dining Car Cooks and Walters Local have been reopened and if the project materializes one of the most beautiful club homes in the city will be established, the site selected will be on 12th Street near Central. A Sun Parlor, Pool and Billiard Room, Lounge Room, reception Room and office will provide a comfortable home for this class of employees that have had their standard raised by this organization that have been meeting in members' homes, "Ys" and other places of Assembly-Blids on the furnishings of this luxurious home have been placed with the Hefflin Manufacturing Company. The writer understands that the club will be operated under the license Refuse and Recycle method which has been worked out by Mr. Clarence Johnson the guiding hand or this wonderful organization.
PULLMAN PORTER GETS JAIL
SENTENCE
According to the Associated Press dispatch of July 9, 1928, Ellis Williams, Pullman porter, was sentenced to prison for ten years by Judge John Truxx for an alleged attack upon a State College girl of Washington, whose name was Evelyn Nobach, on train No. 4, of the Northern Pacific.
According to A. Philip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Ellis Williams is not a member of the Porter's Union. General Organizer, Randolph, claims that this is the first instance of a Pullman porter attacking a woman on a Pullman car in the history of the Pullman car service. The Negro Pullman porter has been entrusted as the guardian of the womanhood of the nation on the Pullman car, and the unpopularity remained true to the trust. A woman on a Pullman car, under the supervision of a Negro porter, is as safe as when she is in her own home.
Fathers of girls, husbands of wives and brothers of sisters, personally request Pullman Porters to look after their women relatives on the cars. They request the Pullman porter to give their women relatives protection because of the long history of the porter performing this duty for the travelling public without a single delinquency. The case of Ellis Williams attacking the young woman on the Pullman car nearing Spokane, Washington, is an extreme exception which requires and deserves careful examination, says Randolph.
It is a matter of common knowledge, romarks the General Organizer, that the Pullman Company, has employed men to serve as porters in order to break the threatened Strike by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Pullmen porters of ten, twenty and thirty years in the Pullman service have been fired for being asleep or for the slightest dereliction of duty, and for being supposed members of the porters' Union, all forms of intimidation of union porters.
As a result of this policy, some notorious characters have been picked up by the Pullman Company and put on the cars in the place of tried, trusted and faithful Pullman porters. This naturally breaks down the service and jeopardizes the interest of the traveling public. The above mentioned assault could not happen if the porters' oppressive ward be considered of its responsible and faithful employees and not seek to break the porters' Strike with men who can neither be trusted with the property or person of passengers, says Randolph.
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, condemns, in no uncertain terms, the action of Ellis Williams, if the report of his attack is true and assures the public that the members of the Brotherhood represent the highest type of character, responsibility and manhood in the Pullman service, as shown by the fact that they are willing to risk their jobs in order to make them better through organization.
PROTECTION OF WAGES
An order issued by the Central of Georgia is in line with state and municipal campaigns to put a quietus on the loan sharks. The order is directed against those who have been 'buying' salaries and wages or emplied to them. The order is established a policy set forth in the following five provisions:—
1. Partial assignments of wages are disregarded.
2. When salary assignments are apparently of money-lending origin or infected with usury, every assistance or opportunity shall be accorded the employee in resisting such contracts in the courts.
3. An employee will not be discharged from service by reason of having assigned his wages or because his wages have been garnished, except in flagrant cases, and then only after investigation and an opportunity to explain the reasons for such garnishment satisfied.
5. Employees shall be encouraged in organizing among themselves credit associations.
This is a step for the protection of the employees and also for creating improved relationships between the management and the employees that should be productive of excellent results. It is in line with a well considered program on the part of the Central of Georgia for welding that property into one large enthusiastic and efficient family.
FORTERS UNION FINANCES
FORTERS UNION FINANCES
Contrary to Pullman propaganda that the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is on the rocks and that the officials had squandered the funds the finances are in ship-shape and orderly condition, reports the Policy Committee.
In the recent conference of the Policy Committee held in New York, the Financial Department, which is under the direction of the General Secretary Treasurer, Roy Lancaster, the handling of the finances, after a careful investigation by the Policy Committee, was stamped as efficient and honest, and a vote of confidence was given the Secretary-Treasurer and the Headquarters of the Brotherhood.
The Policy Committee is composed of representatives from all parts of the country.
It was found after examination of the books and records of the financial Department and the reports of the Certified Public Accountant, Mr Stuart (chase of the Labor Bureau) of the City, that the monies of the porters have not only been serpently handled, but they have also been carefully conserved, according to A. Phillip Randolph, General Organizer. The Brotherhood is honestly and scientifically conducted, so that they will bear the examination of the most critical documents. He says Mr Randolph. I together with the other officials, am bonded, athe I handle no funds, he continued.
COURTEOUS RED CAPS
C. O. McIntyre, Writer of "One Overs" in Hearst's dailies says:— Red Capsa at the Grand Central and other Railroad Terminals in New York have a sense or propriety about carrying luggage for arriving celebrities. They match coins for the honor and thus avoid rushing and snatching. If the celebrity is a guest of the city the red caps reflect the hospitality by not accepting a tip. Entergetic red caps often realiza as much as $50 a week in tips. The average is around $30. Experience sharpens an uncanny power to spot the live wives, the most generous of all is a new husband.

CREENAWAY
Last week was a very interesting one to us being spent in banquets plays and dances.
The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority's Annual play "The Patsy" a three act comedy, showed to a full house at Beaux Arts Auditorium, July 20th was certainly a well directed play and was very well acted. Miss Caroline Wickliffe playing the lead, enchanted the audience with her porTRAYAL of "Patricia". Miss Thelma Overton, as the mother, was exceptionally god, as were Miss Clotilde Curry as the snappy, spoilt sister and Miss Anna Louise Griffin in the small, but really good part of Sadie Buchanan. Mr. Edwin Jefferson as "Pop" played the role of the middle-aged father of Patricia to perfection, while Mr. Wallace Wells as "Tony Anderson" whom both sisters love enacted his role with dash and realism, especially in the romantic scenes. Mr. Newell Eason's role of Billy Caldwell, was very well done especially the part where he told the spoilt, sassy sister where to head off, Mr. aWrener Wright and Mr. Merritt Cohen had short but snappy parts. The beautiful furniture used in the comedy was loaned by the Hefflin Mfg. Co.

CARE OF CHILDREN
It is a very common occurrence to see some members of a family standing a small child on its feet, warning it loose, allowing it to start to fall then catch it; this is a most excellent way to make a child bow-legged. If it did no harm to stand a child on its feet it would begin to walk at birth or very soon thereafter. The reason it doesn't and likewise the reason it should not be stood up is that its leg bones and the lower segments of its back or spine are near the ends, mostly cartilage; this substance is elastic enough to bend.
Don't lose your temper with a child. This may seem hard to do but let us explain first what we mean by not losing your temper. Say you have a small child who is crying and won't stop when you tell it to, find out what is the matter, it may be hurting from something it has eaten or a raw surface which is being irritated by its clothing. We have seen mother pick a child up, slam it down hard against a chair to scare it and hurt it so it would stop crying. Please, mothers, don't ever do that again, if by chance you have been guilty of it in the past, for your own sake as well as the child's. Let us cite you a case as a reason why. We had a case brought to us a short time ago, that from all indications his trouble was caused by just such a circumstance as we have related. Here is the case: the lower segments of spine are tubercular, causing extreme pain in hips and upper portions of legs. The question naturally arises what can we do for him. Maybe a year in bed on his back will stop the trouble, if not nothing can be done, because it's at a place where surgery cannot be done.
Look after baby teeth. It is a common idea that these teeth don't amount to much because they will come out in a few years, anyway. Discard that idea at once and see that your child's teeth are kept clean so they won't decay; should they have already begun decaying, if it isn't near the time for them to come out have a dentist fill them, otherwise you may be forced to have the child's tonsils removed and that after teeth and tonsils have caused your child to have rheumatism and heart trouble or both.
HURTS OF CHILDREN
That way of expressing it is not very professional but we wish to use the language of the laymen so far as we can because if you write a thing the way the greatest number of people think, naturally the greatest number of people will understand what you are talking about. Should your child complain of being hurt while playsng don't say, "Oh, it will be alright soon." look where the child says it hurts if you are not certain whether the child is really hurt, take it to a physician and be sure rather than allow your child to come to grief. Most cases of "Hunch-back" are a result of such neglect. Don't you think your child's health and happiness is worth the small trouble and expense you would have to undergo, if not please consider your State and Country enough to take it to a county institution soon enough so it may be cured and not be a burden to itself and the County later.

When you refer to an attorney-at-law you don't mean an ambulance-chasing shyster; when you speak of a doctor of medicine you don't mean a quack when you refer to a minister of the gospel you don't mean a hypocrite using the church as a cloak; and when you speak of a man you don't mean some cowardly member of a wolf pack 'gang, any more than you would think of a nag when speaking of a horse. When thinking of a man, your mind doesn't picture some derelict following the lines of the least resistance, but rather a red-blooded, sound-thinking, progressive human being. When you say man, you think of some up-and-doing living person who is honestly shaping his destiny alone, and not some whining, leaning puppet endeavoring to corral enough other whining puppets to make an augmented chorus. The words man, manly, manhood and man power all have too true a ring to be in any way mistaken.
Suppose five men were cast away on a barren island and all thrown upon their own resources to keep within themselves the breath of life. It would not be two days before one of those men would be chosen by the other four to be their leader. That one man chosen would be expected to guide the five back to civilization. No money is represented in this transaction, but its barren island equivalent is—the sustenance of life. Even in the highest stage of civilization money is nothing but the medium of exchange. On the barren island four men are helping one that he may direct all five back to the life which civilization has made dear to them. This leader was not chosen for his wealth nor his political affiliations, but was selected for his strength of character and his ability to lead.
In civilized life men become leaders through ability and courage—ability to think and courage to do. A real man seeking advancement doesn't call upon some gang to push him along, but strives to do that which he is doing so well that he attracts attention to his ability. His thoughts are always to build and never to tear down. He is striving to do that which may have been done only to do it better and his confidence in himself is a magnetic power that attracts others to him. Other real men become anxious to engage his services and he climbs under his own power—a stronger personal power than that of any gang.
When you refer to a successful concern, what do you really mean? A successful organization, and a successful organization is one that is made up of real men who are not afraid to think and work. No matter how large that organization may be, it is always ready and ever willing to take in any man who shows the slightest willingness to accept responsibilities and assist the organization to grow. A man interested in his work soon has his pay spoken of as salary and not as wages.
Sometimes when a sink orator is grawling about everybody from the general manager down to a foreman, just ask yourself the question, "How long would the business continue, meet its pay roll and employ you if the sewer orator were running the business?" A farmer must know his soil to get the most out of it, and a man must know his business to remain in it. If some men were given a farm, they would starve on it, and if some men were given a business, they would financially die with it. When men realize that a gang anchors them instead of propelling them, then they will rely upon individualism for their advancing power.
The real boy at circus time carries water for the elephants and sees the circus. The gang tries to steal in under the tent. The real boy becomes a real man, and what this country needs most is real marmood.
WHEN MARRIAGE CAUSES HATRED.
If you are shut up with the same person long enough, in relative isolation from others, you come finally either to love or to hate him. Indifference is practically out of the question.
That is the reason why only love sanctifies marriage. It is the reason why Explorer MacMillan enjoins silence on his companions. If they let each other alone, they can endure each other through the long isolation. If they try to be intimate, it is almost certain that they will bore and then hate each other.
Few of us have to face the ordeal of Arcticsilence, but most of us are, or will be married.
Moral: First, love your wife. Second, have each of you enough outside interests to escape the calamity of boring each other into loathing.

HEART TO HEART TALKS TO A
GIRL 16 TO 20 YEARS
1—CONCERMING HERSELF
Dear Myritis:
It seems just yesterday to me when you were born, and I can hardly realize that you are actually a slim, graceful young lady, equally as tall as I, and already fast finishing your school life. It makes me feel old too—far older than I usually imagine that I am. If I deliver ten thousand babies I shall never forget the night you were born. I was still in school and my maternity cases, under the auspices of the school doctors, had all been confined to Mexican, Isidian and White American patients. And the first reason why I cannot forget that you were, as I have so often told you, the very first baby of my own race to be delivered by me in the world. And, as though you were influenced by the little Indian and Spanish babies, with whom I had previously met, I was so impressed as reh an olive as a Spaniard's, and hair as black and long as an Indian's. Secondly I cannot forget the night of your advent because, as I said before, I was still a student in school and of course I had no car. And on that dark night I had to walk from my home near Tenth and El Molino Sts, through the Dresden Cemetery (to

It is a little hard Myrtis, for me to be sure that I am reaching all of your needs when I do all of the talking. And so you must promise me that you will interrupt at any point and ask questions. In fact I will feel that you are getting just the information which you need, only as you ask questions frequently and freely. Not only do I wish you to ask questions, but as you come in contact with your girl friends and as you correspond with those who live even here in far away Los Angeles, tell them that they too may send in their Question to me at the address gsven at the head of the letter. And each week as I write to you I shall endeavor to give full and complete answers to each question. Show your letters to them, thus you see our heart to heart talks will be beneficial to hundreds and hundreds of girls, who like yourself, are entering upon this the most dangerous, and also the most glorious period of their lives.

National politics is quiet. It is the calm before the storm. Leaders of both major parties are busy mapping out their strategy. The serious question confronting them is prohibition. Wet or dry? Both conventions tried hard to side-step the issue, saying, it was not one or politics. But the adherents of the Volstead Law would not be denied and forced it into the open. Both candidates for the presidency declare that as long as the Amendment is part of the Constitution the law should be strictly enforced. Smith says, if it is the will of the people of this nation that I am to take, an oath as President of the United States to prosec and defend our Constitution and laws. I will execute that oath to the limit of my ability without reservation. It is well known that I believe there should be fundamental changes in the present provision for national Prohibition."
it is this declaration of "personal belief" that threatens to play havoc with party allignment. The ultra Dry voters claim to see a threat against the existing law. Dry Democrats and Dry Republicans see a menace in the utterance and are trying to concentrate their forces. It remains to be seen whether the moral issue will be sufficiently strong to overcome their partisanship. At this particular time it looks like the political battle will be fought on the question of the 18th Amendment and that other matters of vital interest to the nation will be subordinated. The tariff, which used to be the battle cry, receives but passing mention. Both parties concede that the duties on imports have been the basis of our national prosperity, and any mention of inclination to tinker with it would alarm the voter to the extent that the party advocating it would suffer defeat. The acceptance speech of the candidates are anxiously awaited. In them, more than the convention platforms, will be struck the keynote of the coming campaign.
If the Tax Commission requests and the Solons will promise Gov Young not to become controversial, an extra session of the State Legislature may be called to discuss, or pass the Tax Amendment, to be submitted to the voters for their approval. According to a decision by the Supreme Court in some Eastern Tax suits, the State of California is liable to lose the bank revenues. Taxation of intangible securities is another, the California Supreme Court has declared invalid the laws "25-27" for the taxation of these securities. A constitution amendment voted on the November ballot might save the State a loss of some 10 or 11-millions of dollars. If the session is called it will be after the August primary election.
Down in Mississippi the "Lily White" Republicans are using the Hoover machine with a vengeance. Drunk with their Kansas City victory they have steamed up the roller and started her to "rollin". First they promised to give the electoral vote of the State to Hoover if they could but oust the "Black and Tans". So the Committee fell for it and headed by Mabel Willdbrant they went down that to see who had the most influence on the Federal intratone. They have recommended some prominent Mississippiians for investigation. Among the number is the National Committeeman from that State. This is not the first time the "Lilies" have promised the impossible, neither is it the first time that the leaders of the G. O. P. have taken the hook.
Bill "Goose-neck" McDonald, Texas, boss of the works and since the death or Wright Cuney, dictator of Republican politics, went up to Kansas City. Now Bill is used to getting what he seeks and no denial, but before going up to the Kaw he forget the one essential, declaration for Hoover, the door was shut in Bill's face and he was, literally, knocked down and spat upon. After regaining his political consciousness, he went home and vowed that he would support Al Smith and that the Governor would carry Texas. Well, Bill is on the safe side.
Why! Oh why! Will the people who promote and foster the associations designed to protect their Constitutional rights try to draw the social line in those organizations? When the fight is being made against discrimination, Jm-Crowsm, the right of the ballot, and the crime of lynching we cannot afford to make pink tea affairs of them. Those are the rights of the people of Black America, whether he lives in California or Texas; resides in a mansion or dwells in a hovel; has a profession or tols at menial labor, of questionable morals or as pure as crystal waters. All, all of these are subject to the racial ban and the fight for tolerance can be won only through concerted action. The pure, if pure, need have no fear of contamination. "The sunbeam touched the lady's body by the light." She is forget our social antipathies and join hands in the common fight against racial discrimination
It took the airing or the murder of Robert Knox (white convict) to bring the enormity of the convict leasing system of Alabama to public notice. God knows how many Negroes has been given the boiling water treatment and died. At any rate the public airing given the death of Knox has resulted in the abolishing of the system. Gov Bibb Graves has kept his
pre-election promise. Men, who for years have been buried in the tinky blackness of the coal mines have been brought up into the sunlight. Most of those seven hundred men were of the Race. It must have touched the hearts of the hardest to hear their songs of spiritual rejoicing for their delivery from penal slavery.
We were recently brought to task for "cussin'" in print. Upon pleading "No, Gully" we were shown where we had guilty said something or somebody wasn't worth a "Tinker's Dam."

The people of the 74th Assembly District, Los Angeles, had the good sense to have it so that two excellent race men are candidates for legislative honors.

Joe Bass is able, fearless, and aggressive, wherever and when ever he believes the Constitutional rights of a people are being violated.

Wm. McLamore From San Francisco Says Coming Campaign Will Be Record Breaker
In an interview with Wm. McLamore, political sage of San Francisco who was in the city last week in attendance upon the Grand Lodge of Masons, the Eagle reporter gleaned the fact that the political pot has begun to boil up and around his ball wick as never before.
He informs us that our good friend Senator S. M. Shortridge has recovered his health and feeling fine, also

Mr. McLamore was accompanied by his wife who remained over for a two weeks' visit with friends. and Miss Missie Barron; Reading, 25 Years of Life (Original), Miss Bridget Walton; Paper, The Cares of a Husband, Mrs Hattle McCoy; Address, Married Life and How to Go Through, Rev. W. H. Rozier.
This affair was very impressive and unlikes the usual anniversary celebration it was marked with all seriousness and carried out with the aim to show the sacredness of marriage and the benefits to be derived from 25 years of faithfulness and devotion of husband and wife to each other.
These services were followed with a grand reception held in the social hall of the church, which was beautifully decorated in delicate shades of pink and green
The cake for the occasion which was made by Mrs. C. Acbols and decorated by Mr. A. L. Osborne was the last word in beauty. It was pure white bordered with white roses and sweet peas, with silver inscription on the top. Perched on each side of a cozy little nest were also two silver doves.
Other entertainments of the week which followed the Tuesday evening affair were breakfasts each morning except Saturday morning to which were invited guests.
The crowning even of the celebration was a huge dinner party served at the residence Saturday evening. July 1, 1928, 6:30.
Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. E Kitt; Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Williams; Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Fair; Mr. and Mrs. A. Buchanan; Mr. and Mrs. Wm Brooks; Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Thurman; Mr. and Mrs. H.

H. Rozier.
Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan are the parents of two children—a daughter, Mrs. Marjorie Stalling who lives in the city with her beautiful little family of three children and devoted husband, Mr. Cebron Stalling; a son, John Buchanan who yet lives with his parents. He is a model young man from many angles, one of his outstanding points is his willingness to share the responsibilities of the home. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan wish for them many more years of happy married life.

NEGRO WOMEN IN THE
REALM OF JOURNALISM
was true, but nine-ten of the society editors of my acquaintance could write circles around him on any given subject. Naturally, society women should make the society editors, just as a doctor should be able to put out the best column or a sportsman the best page. But society true, however, that women of society are in most cases the best prepared intellectually; and consequently are turning up pages that compare favorably with and in some instances surpass other present Negro Press offerings. Among the better known society writers of today we have on the Inter-State Tattler staff, which I place first because society is one of the Tattler's three features: Eldie Peacock McDougall, who misses Philadelphia social notes under Miss Coolbreeze, Leona Denia Herr Chiago society editor, Bowie E. Qeen, contributor of the Washington Elvera letter, Alyss Hershaw and Julia City society jointly edit the Atlantic City society page, and I who still struggle with New York Society; Sara Edwin; Jenkins who edits the New York News society pages and writer under Winks, a letter of social commant; Thelma Perlack, society editor of the Amsterdam News; on the Chicago Defender; Bessie Bearden for New York society; Nettie George Speedy for Chicago, Rebecca George for Indianapolis and Katharine Kent Lambert for Birmingham, Eva Overington Lewis for Chicago Bee under Brown; Vela Brooks Books of the Light; Evelyn Crawford Reynolds of the Philadelphia Tribune, and Mary Frances Thornton of the Indianapolis Recorder.
Next we have women editing columns on subjects of special interest to women, Lillian E. Sharpe of the Amsterdam News and Ann Grayling of the Whip have household hints-column, Lillian Lollard of the Amsterdam News writes the Key to Georgia Douglas Johnson and Sarah Plummer of plumes contribute advice to the loveliness for the Pittsburgh Courier and Amsterdam News respectively; Sara Spencer Washington, founder of the Apex Beauty College and Nina Temple write beauty hints for the Inter-State Tattler and Norfolk Journal and Guide; Loretta B. Owens edit the Junior ideas for the Nina Arts Museum Roberts University of the Chicago Beaulah Mitchell Hill of the Chicago Bee contribute comments on musical events, and Effie Lee Newsome edits the Children's Department of the Crisis.
Of the so-called Columnists and Special feature writers we are represented by Alice Dunbar Nelson's in a looking Glass, appearing in the Washington Eagle and Weekly Excursions which is syndicated through the Associated Negro Press; Glaceau Greenaway's You're in the Eagle; the Church Terrill's UpToDate in the Chicago Defender; Georgia Douglas Johnson's Homely Philosophy for the A. N. P.; my own in New York Town in the Chicago Bee and Jersey Jottings in the Pittsburgh Guard, and Druiscalla Dunjee Houston, special writer for the A. N. P.; Bernice Dutrieule of the Northburgh Courier, Dellish L. of the Oakland Sunshine Humane and Dr. Alice Woolby McKane and Emma Sayres of the general Negro Press.
Then come the women members of editorial staff. As assistants to editors we have Thelma Berlack, assistant editor of the Amsterdam News, Perol V. Meeves, assistant editor of the Negro World; Sadie Wilson, assistant editor of the Nashville Globe, Bessye Bearden, New York City, editor of Chicago Defender and Julia Bunny Jones, city editor of the Pittsburgh Courter. The Managing editors are four in number—Maggie Walker of the St. Luke Walker of the St. Luke Berlack of Perry Rhodes of the Philadelphia Tribune, Charlene A. Spear-Bass of the California Eagle (she is also the merger and I of the Inter-State Tattor). And we have two women editors—Catherine Irwin of the Chicago Bee and Mrs. Theodore Bauman of the Oklahoma Eagle.
And finally we reach the woman business managers, publishers and owners. Amy Ashwood Garvey and Olla Walker are business managers respectively of the West Indian Times and American Review and the Atlanta Independent: Sade Warren Davis is treasurer of the Amsterdam News Publishing Co. Mrs. P. B. Ycang of the Norfolk Journal and Guide and Bertha Perry Rhodes of the Philadelphia Tribune; Beatrice Briggs is president of the Philadelphia Tribune; Blossie Blevins Oldfield is the publisher and owner of a Chatanoga Defender, and Mrs. E. D. Cannady is publisher and owner of the Advocate of Portland, Oregon.
In conclusion let me again state that this is not a complete list. For what information I have been able to secure I am indebted to Garland Penn's history of the Afro-American Press, Edgar M. Grey of the New York News, Floyd L. Calvin of the Pittsburgh Courier, T. Arnold Hill of the National Urban League, Robert J. Nelson of the Washington Eagle, Nahal of the Opium of Opportunity and the Who's Who in Colored America, Inc. It is my hope that this brief history may serve as the nucleus from which a comprehensive record may be made of the women workers of the Negro Press.
Knights of the handle bars will come back into their own according to the plans of Bill Furman who will resurrect the sport at the new Velodrome on Vepine Boulevard.
In preparation for the opening of the summer and fall session of racing at the Velodrome, Furman is having construced grandstands which will seat 3000.
Furman has received many entries for the opening program on Sunday, August 5. Ernest Ohrt, former amateur sprint bike champion, living at San Francisco, and Johnny Berryessa of San Jose, former California champion, are sending boys from the Northern towns for the opening programs.

'How is Dear Old L. A.?' Writes Baby Joe Gans
Regardless of applauding crowds, undazed by the dizzy white lights of Broadway, Baby Joe Gans (the Young Master) has no qq forgotten his old friends back here that he knew when a poor boy working in the foundry. With fortune smiling from every side he takes this means of sending a message to the folks back home:
Wed., July 18, Syracuse, N. Y.
My Pal:
I am well. Hope this letter will find you the same. How is dear old L. A. is there anything going on in L. A.? How is the boxing there now? How is the new club? I boxed Brady again here and I won every round and the people think the world of me. They want me to move here and live. I have never been treated so royally in all my life as I have here and in Cleveland.
The last two fights I fought the fight of "Baby Joe Gans" I was right! I am working hard and being a good boy. They tell me they are killing the boxing bill out there. Do you think the 4-round game will come back. I will close now. Remember me to the gang.
3rd Round K. O. in Main St. A. C. Main Event
Cliff Ramies knocked out Ralph Cauthon in the third round of the scheduled six-round main event at the Main Street A. C. last night. Cauthon was substituting for Pat Yanco. Mickey Fuente won the nod over Lightning Davis in the six-round semifwind, while Henry Owing defeated Frank Abendand in the special.
What would have happened to the Nobile crew—to Amundsen—to Lundborg—if they were to have lived in the Arctic regions, isolated from civilization for fifteen years and then have been found alive?
"The Strong, Case of Captain Ramper," the story of an Arctic aviator-explorer, whose plane was wrecked on the ice-bound coast of Greenland and who lived for fifteen years in the frozen north with polar bears as his sole companions, opened its western premiere at the Broadway Palace Theatre which started (Saturday) for one week's limited engagement.
A Defu (German) production released through First National "The Strange 'Case of Captain Ramper' is a masterpiece of cinema art with a huge foreign cast headed by Paul Wegener, eminent German actor and Mary Johnson, famous Swedish stage and screen star under the direction of Max Reichmann.
FANS PAY $6,600 FOR GANS-BRADY BOUT
FANS PAY $6,600 FOR GANS-BRADY BOUT
BY: MARTIN LACHANCE
Putting up what will go down in local fistic history as the greatest boxing exhibition seen in Syracuse in years, Baby Joe Gans, Pacific Coast lightweight, proved to several thousand and fans last night at Star Park that he is of championship caliber by winning in decisive fashion from Jackie Brady, Central New York lightweight champion and idol of the North Side.
Although Brady is undoubtedly one of the smartest ring workers in this neck of the woods he looked a novice at times against Gans' sharpshooting.
Time and again Gans shot his right home with lightning like speed and as alert as he was Brady could not escape it. That right caused much damage before the final bell, although Brady bore only one mark, that being a bad cut on his lip which bleed freely during the closing rounds.—Syracuse Herald.

Though the average fan would hate to go in go, yet most any athletic sport if well played and sharply contended, will bring the thrill that emanates from the roped arena. The tennis tournament and recent school and college track meet revealed that we have some of the finest girl and boy athletes right here in the city as there is in the country, and the vim, vigor, and earnestness the average Negro athlete displays is thrill enough for anyone if properly supported by their fellow race men.
Tommy O'Brien vs. Jimmy Carter, main event, ten rounds. Frankie Torndorf vs. Nick Antonio, semi-windup, six rounds. M. Lomelli vs. Art Malina, six rounds. Earl Farmer vs. Jack O'Brien, four rounds. Rudy Guyton vs. Marcelino Ortega, four rounds.
U. S. SHOULD WIN OLYMPICS
NO RIVAL COUNTRY APPEARS ABLE TO MATCH AMERICAN STRENGTH
Recruited from every section of the county, this argyos should return to the United States in September bearing more than its share of athletic honors. No other country in the world can assemble a group of recordholding athletes to match the American expedition.
Comparative performances indicate that the United States should win championships in at least five of the 12 branches of Olympic competition—track and field, swimming, rowing, boxing and wrestling. In all of these the red, white and blue will be defending team championships gained in the 1824 games at Paris.

Pyle Race But Wins
New York City
Unknown to anyone there quietly slipped back into town last Sunday afternoon a most remarkable figure of all the 250 who ran down the road last March 4th in Pyle's great trans-
continental race. This was Toby Josephs Cotton of this city who went away a boy and came back a man, And a man whom all New York delighted to honor.
Toby is only 15 years old, a student of McKinley School, the boy concerning whom we published several stories during his trip as to how determined he was to get into the race and how determined Pyle was to keep him out because of his age. Also how he was accompanied by his father who is paralyzed from the waist down and also two younger brothers traveling in an old Ford.
Something new in the line of athletic events is to be staged on August 3rd, when a race will take place starting at 9th and Central avenues south to 38th and east to Pirrone's Park at 38th and Ascot.
Great interest aroused by the Olympic trials throughout the country as well as the big Pyle race, and the annual Indian Marathon has reacted locally so that athletes and the public are more enthused over track records being made and broken than any other line of sport.
Immediately following the finish of the street race a big Field Day of track and field events will take place in the park. In these some of the best colored and white athletes of the city are entered and competition will be very sharp.
but though nearly 200 runners fell out and only 55 entered N. Y. Toby was among them only 15 outside the money prizes.
But cold, blase, narrow N. Y. came to the rescue and in a benefit led by Bill (Bojangles) Robinson and many of the finest actors and actresses of the metropolis, enough money was raised in a big benefit at the Lafayette theatre to get him a nice new Durant sedan and a $500 diamond studded gold medal.
He failed to win the money with which he boped to make the family comfortable but a look at his tall now well-developed figure and handsome manly face shows that he has the stuff that makes men and should
The winner of the finish mat battle between Joe Malecwicz and Martin Plestina at the Olympic Coast, Wednesday night, will possibly get a match with Nicke Lutze, the Chicago mat star. Promoter Lou Daro announced. Lutze wired he was back in condition again, and was ready to return to the coast any time the promotor had lied up a worthy opponent. "Big Jim" McMullen, former University of Illinois football star, played guard on the great 1922-23-24 teams or which "Red"Grange was a member, is slated to meet the winner of the Paul Jones-Pat McGill bout, according to Daro.
Both cash and medals are being tendered as prizes by Eastside merchants, but because of so many college and school athletes competing medals will be given winners in this class in order to not spoil their amateur standing.
A cash prize of $50.00 is given by the Oak Lake Country Club while medals, cups and merchandise are being given by other business firms, the California Eagle and several others giving cash sums for the various events.
A number of contests for girls are being staged including a 100 Yard dash, broad jump, relay race, baseball throw and a baseball game between an East Side team and West Side team of girls following the track and field contests.
The entry lists are rapidly filling up as athletes from all over the city are competing but entry may be made at the Oak Lake Country Club offices at 2417 Central Ave.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY
THE BLACK SPORT WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF HAMILTON ART
Jimmy Black, the Gate City cyclone fight's Fernando Gonzales of Arizona in the main event at San Bernardino as we go to press.
Black is looking like a million and he hasn't lost a fight in a long time.
Jimmy fought a furious draw with Benny Furrel at Ocean Park a couple of weeks ago. Although the referee called it even Stephen, Black should have had the decision.
The little glove thrower from San Berdo worked with Baby Sal during the Mexican Flash's training for Joey Sangor. Sal outweighed Jimmy sixteen pounds, but Black more than held his own with Sorita.
On the same card with the Gate City kid is Chalky Wright, who's fighting the Special. Wright has had seven or eight fights and has yet to meet defeat.
Santiago Zorrilla and Bud Taylor fight the main event in San Francisco tonight (Friday).
This will make the third meeting between the two with Taylor holding two hair-line decisions over the Brown boy from Panama.
Bud Taylor and Joe Sangor are the only two boxers in the United States that can claim victories over Zorrilla. Joey Sangor beat him in a thrilling bout at the Olympic some time ago and then took him agan in Chi cago.
Taylor also beat him at the Olympic and at San Francisco. All four of the verdicts were close, and how!
It is no disgrace to be beaten by these boys because they are the cream of the crop and the best in their class.
Gene Tunney defends his title for the first time since 1927 as we go to press.
The cultured champion fights Tom Heeney of Australia.
All of the big shots in the boxing game have been down to look the challenger over, including Jack the Dempsey, Benny Leonard, Mickey Walker, and what have you?
None give the iron man from Australia much of a chance, unless the fight goes the limit.
At this writing Babe Ruth has forty homers to his credit putting exactly one month and a day ahead of his record last year.
TENNIS CHATTER

BIG OPEN FIRST ANNUAL TENNIS
TOURNAMENT GIVEN BY OAK
LAKE COUNTRY CLUB GREAT
SUCCESS
What was declared by critics and spectators as being the largest and best planned as well as the most successful tennis tournament the Los Angeles public has ever beheld was staged at Snyder's Playground, Friday and Saturday, July 20-21 by the Oak Lake Country Club as previously announced. The affair, the Oak Lake's first annual, came off in grand style. Over 150 contestants participated. Seating accommodations for the vast throng that attended both days were inadequate. However, the spectators were willing to stand at any cost in order to view the brand of tennis such as was being displayed on the two above day. We are very proud of our lads and lassies for they displayed skill with their "cat gut axe" that would compare favorably with many of the Davis Cup stars and their like.
Not too much credit can be showered on Messrs. Gilmore, Klose, Taylor and Levette (promoters of the Oak Lake Country Club).
TOURNAMENT RESULTS
There were three events in all, Women's and Men's Singles and Mixed Doubles.
Women's Singles
J. Geneva Stocks extracted a tooth for the championship from Miss Burleson 6-3, 6-2.
Men's Singles
MEN'S Singles
Stocks cut Ford's little toe off for the championship 6-1, 6-1, 6-0.
Mixed Doubles

MORE SALARY SLASHES --- WHO IS IT THAT SUFFERS? Colored Extras Wage Scale Reduced from $7.50 to $5.00 Per Day at Universal Pictures Studio
BY: LAWRENCE LaMAR
Why, or how, this stunt of cutting the day check of the Colored Screen Extra originated, cannot be definitely stated at this writing. However, many interesting phases concerning it and the future status of the Colored man in the motion picture profession can be dwelt upon. Those who are interested should not be under any false impression concerning any personal motive on our part to injure any one. We will assure them that our only interest in this muddle, is for the safeguarding of those inroads that the Colored man has thus far made in motion pictures.
Danceland's Marble
Floor Praised By
We are now confronted with the necessity more than ever, to develop actors of a higher type. Yet, at the time when that crying need is loudest, the opportunities for development are being gradually closed. It is a known fact, that years back, eight or ten, and up to the present time, the colored extra has received from 20 to 30 per cent more salary than the whites. The producers reasoned thusly: That the Colored man in order to develop sufficient ability before the camera, should earn enough salary to better support himself and gradually get himself established in this new artistic groove, and on account of the limited number of pictures in which he could be used, earn enough to encourage his continuance. The result of this encouraging attitude has been the experience of about a hundred men, women and children, as motion picture actors. These people have almost entirely made their living out of the picture industry. Some have made as high as five hundred dollars a week.
Some people ask, is it necessary that Colored people find work in pictures? A good question. It is answered in the affirmative. Producers often find it very necessary in order to create the true background, to bring in colored characters. If this particular character is very important, this necessitates a clever artist playing the part. If he has had no previous training he is invariably unable to take the part. If the inducement is not large enough he will hardly remain long enough in pictures, to gain experience. It will now begin to be clear and does become indispensable. Why doesn't the producer give himself a break, by giving the colored extra a break?
Often too we who pay our money to see the finished products in various theatres, are compelled to look on with disgust at some white man doing a black-face, in a very important role that opportunity, for reasons both so
When we ask our local representative—who has now, definitely become the tool of the Central Casting Bureau—why, that thing exists, he wags his head and says, "There ain't no colored man available that can do the part." Possibly he is right, but there never will be one available unless the that the colored man in pictures can, agement to develop. We must demand that opportunity, for reasons both sociological and economical. We are tired as patrons, of looking at some white man blacked up, doing everything that a colored man in life would not. We are tired as contributors to the advancement of the Arts of Motion Pictures, through paid admissions, of being subsequently barred from learning them. What's the matter with us? Can't we get out of pictures of what we put into them in the form of salaries? The parts are far and few between, we know, for the Colored man, but, give him what you have, he deserves it.
This ridiculous economy move, on the producers' part, is hurting himself as badly as the Colored man. We suspect, however, when the producers discover the real motive for this latest move, they will right things again. If they fail to see it, or seem not to care, we shall see what effect we might have in letting the Colored Press throughout the country know the true facts. We know the facts, let's cut out the 'racket.'

DANCING PUBLIC SWARM THRU GATES ONE THOUSAND STRONG
A most enthusiastic crowd celebrated the turning over of the beautiful Danceclan, and Amusement Park to Colored people last Sunday evening. The marbled floor was really the keenest novelty experienced by our folk in Los Angeles. Many of those present at the opening had never danced on a marble floor. The music furnished by Claude Kennedy's. Orchestra was exceptionally good. The procuring of this Dance Pavilion for our people was a master stroke. Run right, these people ought to clean up quite a little 'jack' on this place. There is ample accommodations here for approximately three thousand people. Enough space to accommodate an immense crowd. The opening night saw slightly more than a thousand paid admissions. That will get him. Every Sunday, the same thing, with a bigger crowd.
"TENDER FEET"
FIRST COAST ALL-COLORED CAST PICTURE TO BE RELEASED SOON!
The people of the great State of California, and Los Angeles, will soon have their first glimpse of an all-Colored Coast Picture made on the Pacific Coast. The title of this newest film is "Tender Fetet," on original story by Spencer Williams. The picture will show at one of the local theatres within the next ten days.
Some very clever camera work was made in this picture, a screaming comedy farce, with red hot up-to-date gags. Spencer Bell and Mildred Washington are featured in the picture, which has a strong supporting cast, including: Flora Washington; John Turner, Richard Frazier, Onest Conley, Douglas Carter, Cliff Ingram, and Oscar Morgan. Colored people should and will support this jam-up picture, because it's really too tight, and measures up to the best.
Mr. Spencer Williams is to be congratulated. He wrote the story, directed the picture and assisted in writing the titles. He certainly has worked hard, and beyond a doubt succeeded.
THE COMMENTATOR
LINCOLN THEATRE
'CABARET PRINCE' DEPICTS MANY PERILS OF NIGHT LIFE
Last week's presentation, "Cabaret Prince", exposed the fallacy of leading a fast and frivolous life. Many youngsters who are just about ready to step out and lead a butterfly existence, are warned by the expositions in this play, of some or the consequential phases, of such an existence. The moral of this play is as clear as a sermon. Besides, it reaches many who never hear a sermon.
Notwithstanding, the outstanding good feature of this play, much criticisms can be pointed at certain members of the cast, for their inability to carry their part out satisfactorily. My attention was drawn very sharply to the work of Mr. Miller, one of the producers. Mr. Miller, who played the title role, 'Cabaret Prince' should have assigned this important dramatic role to a more capable, and serious actor; like Amon Davis, or Leroy Broomfield or even Slayter. This was one play where the whole effect of story centered upon the ability of the one playing the title role. I happened to see the show twice. The first time Mr. Miller did it without cracking a smile. The next time, it was completely spoiled by his silly giggling. People are not paying their money for that.
---
That's entirely too amateurish. That other 'loud-talking and cracking wise' at the expense of members of the orchestra hasn't got it either. It's all right for the weaklings down front—but remember, there are others present, that would prefer a higher type of comedy-reflief.
Observe, I am not criticizing the show, for I have already told of its sociological value. Farther from that, I mean to commend this theatre to the prudent husbandry of an appreciating public. The crowds are showing an increase, that is encouraging. But let's hope they get bigger. Some people don't know that there is an added value in seeing these shows two and three times. Professional people never fail to do so. The pictures, which change twice weekly, are getting better, that is of a higher quality.
I could go on talking about what good work Mr. or Miss So and So did, but what's the use? I suppose nearly everybody in town saw this show, judging from the crowd at the Mid-Nite Ramble, so they would know just how good everybody was. Another er suggestion. Please tone down on any reference or a difference of social degrees among colored people based on difference in shades.

BENJAMIN W. INGHRAM
The two major Political Parties have convened, adopted their platforms, nominated their standard bearers and adjourned.
After nearly seventy years of freedom the America Negro has become an extremely important part of American Citizenship.
Step by step, year after year, he is becoming more conscious of his very being in the commonwealth of which he is a valuable part.
The Negro is naturally a Republican. If you were to ask him why, the majority could give only one, two or probably three reasons why. Politically we are adopted. Our ancestors were the Whigs and the idea of freedom was pregnant in their beings they having just recently overthrown English rule. And then our grandfather, Abraham signed the proclamation which gave us the one thing that all bondsmens cry for, freedom. Of course as far as the Republican Party is concerned it was not downright love that placed them on our side, any more than downright hate placed the other party against us; it was an economic condition which effected commerce, the tariff and labor. Commodities could not be produced equally by industry hence the North against the South, the Slave becoming a vital issue.
And then our Father Roosevelt comes along with genuine interest in the Negro with a lot of respect and a bit of love. He knew the worth of the Negro because he mingled freely with them, and could appreciate their strength and character. We acclaimed a Moses: Now Moses is dead and with him died the high and lofty principle that the Republican Party held for the Negro. The Negro today is left practically without a party. We do not live, we cannot live on past blessings they do not suffice.
Twelve million Negroes stand on the steps of the Republican Party. I see an awakening, and the taste after a long sleep is bitter. The Republican Party is aware fully or the Negroes' power more so than the Negroes themselves; but the Party is not wise, they depend on holding on what their forefathers did. If when the Republican Party bakes its pie they would trim it afterwards the Negro might be satisfied with the trimmings for another twenty years. The time will come soon when the Republican or any other Party must make no promise to the Negro absolutely none. I personally believe that begging is a mark of inferiority. From now on, Negroes must cast solid ballots and trail the elector to his shrine and should we be deceived, let the deception be a testimony against the party.
There is nothing in the Party of Jefferson that can interest the Negro. We cannot shallow much less direct Democratic Policies. Wilson could have split the Negro vote for all times, but the narrow conception of the Bourbon closed to the Democratic Party the one crack in the door of opportunity to clinch a few million Negro Voters. That one lost chance to the Democrat should make the Republican stir his nest.
Now Tammym would make the Negro feel at home and rightly so. The East is tolerant and knows good politics. Let us see how we will figure out this situation? Nationally the tiger is the ass, not the ass the tiger. With all the benevolence of Tammym, when the Negro faces the issue in the November election and sees the head of the tiger he will see attached the body of the ass. No we must be careful. We can even be tammym so long as its tammany, but when the tiger looses her claws and growls, it's time for us to move our tents.
Political economy is a science to be attained, and Negro Political leaders should know and study. Too many of our so-called leaders have sold their birthright for a mess of pottage and their millions of followers for thirty pieces of silver. The new era set aside the tin can Negro political leader and today finds the race seeking earnestly for men that will be earnest and upright. We are producing men that speak one language and that the language we understand. My sheep they know My Voice, another they will not follow.
This New Negro Condition in a new age writes indelible our rights as citizens, and the Parties of Grant and Lee in their drunken orgy, see the handwriting on the wall.
Let the Negro save himself from empty blondness. As President Coolidge has said, "Our destiny is in our hands, if we would be political leaders, let us be honest and honorable. Stand hard by the race—sacrifice selfish interest and raise a standard for the people.
Prominent North Carolina Physician Kills His Wife
(Br: A. N. P.)
Wilmington, N. C. July 12.—Social and business circles were shocked here Monday evening when Dr. Foster F. Burnett shot and killed his wife, Mrs. Gladys Burnett.
Mrs. Burnett had just returned from an outing at Seabreeze when the shooting occurred. The day had been spent with her two children, Foster, Jr. and Clinee and with Dr. Burnett's mother. A few minutes after she entered the new $20,000 house, which the physician had purchased, five shots rang out.
When the officers arrived, they found Mrs. Burnett lying on the floor with a sheep $2 calf revolver by her side. Dr. Burnett claimed that he shot her on self-defense when she attempted to
If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened
BY: WILLIAM PICKENS
(For The Associated Negro Press)
Houston stages a lynching as a sort of "semi-final" to the Democratic National Convention. This is certainly bad advertising for Texas, the South, and the whole Democratic Party. The officials or Texas seem sensitive, because of that bad advertising; in other words, it is not so much the lynching as it is the inopportuneness of the affair, that angers the officials. They would like to punish this particular set of lynchers for not showing better tastes. The feeling is somewhat like this: "If these fellows just had to lynch a Negro, why in thunder couldn't they wait until after the Convention was over, and maybe until the election in November? Or why couldn't the lynching have taken place somewhere else, not in the very city where the Convention crowds are even now assembling?" Any lynchers so boneheaded as that ought to be punished.
That is just where the leadership of the South falls: it cannot see that the only way to insure against an inopportune lynching, is to prevent all lynchings at all times and in all cases. For example, just one month before this Houston lynching, a Negro was lynched in a little town known as Center, Texas. If some of those who had lynched "Buddy" Evans on May 21st, in Center, were now serving in the Texas penitentiary, then these tight mein Houston would never have dared to commit another such crime. If the law had been enforced and the criminals punished in the former affair, those tempted to commit this crime would have hesitated. No criminals would expect to "get away" with anything in Houston that he could not even get away with in Center.
Note that: Both in Center and in Houston the Negroes were charged with killing some white man, and that nobody has yet proved that the Negro did not kill merely in self-defense in both instances. Everybody who knows anything about "race relations" knows that when a man of the helpless and hopeless minority people kills a man of the dominant people, nine cases out of ten it is a pure animal act of self-defense on the part of the man of the weaker race. But whatever the crime, the only way to avoid the embarrassment of inconvenient lynchings, is to abolish lynching altogether and everywhere.
We would respectfully insinuate that if the Governor and the State of Texas had taken as effective action against the Center lynchers as they threaten to take against the Houston lynchers, there would have been no Houston lynchers.

kill him after charging him with infidelity. He is credited with declaring that his wife had nagged him constantly and had accused him of intimacy with several of his patients.
Officers, however, put little credence in the doctor's statement and believe that the revolver found near her body was planted there after the shooting. Dr. Burnett was held on a charge of murder in the first degree and the trial set for July 23.
Both of the parties were socially prominent here and in Washington, the home of the murdered woman. Dr. Burnett had a lucrative practice and is reputed to be wealthy. Friends of the couple declare that Mrs. Burnett was an asset to her husband and helped him build up the large practice which he enjoys. The body was shipped to Washington, D. C., for burial.

WHAT WILL MISSISSIPPI DO?
(By: A. N. P.)
Baltimore, Md., July 11.—The Baltimore Evening Sun, in carrying an account of the lynching at Brookhaven, Mississippi, of two brothers, James and Stanley Bearden, who were charged with having fought two white men, speaks editorially:
"Two Negroes were taken from the Lincounty Jail in Mississippi last night and lynched by a mob or several hundred persons. The Negroes were accused of assaulting two white men.
"It is unfair to judge the whole of Mississippi by the acts of a mob, even one of several hundred persons. In every community there are individuals possessed of the brutality and cowardice that go to make lynchings possible. A state should be judged, therefore, not by the lynching committed, but by the zeal it shows in running down and punishing the culprit.
"It will be interesting to see what action Mississippi will take in the present instance."
SURVEY NEGRO BUSI NESS IN HARLEM
(By: A. N. P.)
New York City, N. Y., July 11—C
Benjamin Curley, well-known through
out the country as a student of epo-
nics, and Maceo Smith, a recent
graduate of the New York University
Business School, are making a survey
of Negro business in Harlem unde
the direction of the New York
Branch of the National Negro Busi-
ness League.
The information gathered will be
used by the local league in determining
what steps should be taken to
remedy conditions looked upon as
drawbacks to the development of Negro business in the community. An
authoritative list of members of the
race engaged in business and other
valuable data will be compiled.
Already, according to the statisticians, some interesting facts are being unearthed. It is not common knowledge that Negroes are owners and managers of the Benson Broom Works at 146th street and Seventh Avenue, makers and distributors of brooms of high quality, and that at 2373 Seventh Avenue is housed the Murdack Company, makers of pepper sauce which is sold to the big chain stores and other large concerns. Alderman Fred R. Moore, head of the New York Branch of the National Negro Business League, announces that at the annual session of the National body to be held in New York, August 15, 16, and 17, the headquarters of delegates will be at the Madam Walker Studio, 108 West 136th St.

GAY WITH
GOFF-AVERY
NUPTIALS
(By the Associated Negro Press)
Durham, N. C., June 5.—Beauty and happiness vied with each other for supremacy, Wednesday afternoon in the wedding of Miss Janet Elizabeth Avery, recent debutante and graduate of Syracuse University, daughter of Mr. J. M. Avery, vice-president-Secretary of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, and Mrs. Lula L. Avery, charming matron of Durham's church and civic life, to Dr. Marcellus H. Goff, physician-sportsman, son of William B. Goff, prominent citizen, and Mrs. Alethea V. Goff, active in fraternal and political life residents of Albany, Georgia.
THE PRINCIPALS
Miss Janet Elizabeth Avery is a native of North Carolina, graduate of the Dunbar High School, Washington, D. C. and Syracuse University, finishing college studies with degrees at A. B. She was honored with the secretiaryship of the Cosmopolitan Club of Syracuse and is a member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.
Dr. Marcellus H. Goff is a graduate of Atlanta University High School and Howard University, being A. B. Cum Laude, 1923, and M. D., 1902. While in school he was active in athletics and a member of the Chi Delta Debating Society. He is a member of the Kappi Pi Honorary Medical Society and the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
THE CEREMONY
The living room of the spacious home of the parents of the bride was beautiful with palms, hanging flowers, and burning candles which made the nuptial altar. Friends and relatives made a cheerful colorful background, occupying lawn, porches and every inch of standing room about the scene of the ceremony.
At four o'clock the tenor voice of W. D. Hill of Durham was heard in the first notes of "Because", which was followed by the sweet soprano of Mrs. Ruth Edwards of Kittrell College in "Beloved, It Is Morn." Mrs. Lydia Merrick, accompanied by the soloists, and played for the bridal procession the always beautiful Mendelsohn's Wedding March, "At Dawning" was played during the ceremony, which was conducted by Rev. A. Dickerson Avery, of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Greensboro, N. C., uncle of the bride, assisted by Rev. L. H. Midgette of the St. Joseph A. M. E. Church of Durham
The bridal procession moved from the upper hall of the dwelling and was a brilliant spectacle as it passed down the winding staircase and through the assemblage of friends to the altar.
THE BRIDAL PARTY
Miss Avery was sweetly smiling as she appeared on the arm of her father. The wedding costume was dress of bride's satin, trimmed in real lace, veil of silk net, real lace and orange blossoms, and white satin pumps. She wore a string of beautiful pearls, the gift of her father.
The maid of honor, Miss Vivian Bryant Avery, was charming in dress of light blue traffeta and leghorn hat and satin pumps of like shdace.
The bridesmaids wore pastel shades, dresses, hats, and shoes corresponding. Tulle over lace over satin-back crepe made up exquisitely charming ladies. Silk-braided picture hats trimmed with real lace, and satin pumps completed the pretty motif.
Miss Genevieve Gog, sister of the groom, with fetching personality, wore orchid, Miss Dorothy Skinner, pink, Miss S. Elizabeth Bailey, green and Miss Minnie Pearson, canary, making a veritable rainbow promenade. The dainty and popular little Misses Ruth Midgette and Amey Mills preceded the bride, strewing the bridal path with offerings from the floral baskets.
The groom and best man were Chesterfieldian in their formal afternoon attire.
Mrs. Avery, mother of the bride, and Mrs. Goff, mother of the groom, wore dinner gowns of mauve and powder blue respectively.
The congratulations and good wishes which followed the ceremony must have been a great joy to the happy couple as they received the hearty benediction of their loved ones and friends.
