Announcement Having disposed of my interest in the Drug Store at Pico and Central to my nephews, Samuel C. Baumann, Jr., and Otis J. Rene, Jr., hereafter I will devote my entire time to the development of my two stores at 9th and Central and 41st and Central, Hotel Somerville Bldg., and the public is assured that the same high standards of business principles which characterized the conduct of my business in the past will continue in the future. I feel that a debt of gratitude is due the general public and my friends for their loyal support and hearty cooperation in the development of my business enterprise and I want to publicly express my appreciation to all who have contributed to make this business a success, especially since it adds to the credit of the race for its ability to conduct successful enterprises. ALBERT BAUMANN. 3024 Build Factories; Put People To Work, Speaker Urged The officers, members, and friends of the Pyramid Cooperative Association, held a very enthusiastic meeting at the offices of the Golden State Life Insurance Company, September 22nd. Mentis Carriere, who attended the 29th Annual Session of the National Negro Business League held in New York City, during the month of August, gave out the report of a survey made by B. M. Roddy, Vice President at-Large of the National Negro Business League. The report of Mr. Roddy showed that Negroes are not self sup porting. To back up that statement, Mr. Roddy's report pointed to the fact that Harleim, New York City, did not have enough grocery stores operated by the race to feed its 300,000 Negroes for half an hour. Mr. Roddy said that business is the carrying on of the needs of the people and that the time was at hand when Negroes should cease to neglect this import ant matter of furnishing themselves with the fundamental necessities of life; namely; food, clothing, and shelter. He said the race should begin to build factories and put the people to work. The Pyramid Cooperative Association has been pointing out these pertinent facts as shown in the report of Mr. Roddy's survey, for over a year. As Mr. Carrere said, what is true of business negligence in Harlem among Negroes is also tricolor of Los Angeles. But, as the above speaker pointed out, this is a day of big business and the Negroes of Los Angeles cannot hope to solve their economic problems in their entirety through the establishment of business by individuals. Since this is a day of big business combination, the speaker explained, there must necessarily be, if they would survive, a combination of economic effort on the part of Negroes of Los Angeles. How the Negroes of Los Angeles can cooperate with one another for the interest of the masses was ably presented by Mr. Hugh Gordon. Another meeting will be held at Tabernacle Baptist Church, Hemlock St. near 12th, Thursday, October 4th, at 8 P. M., at which time Mr. Carrere will give a thorough and interesting report of what he saw in Superior, Wisconsin among consumers, cooperatives and what the people of various communities of Minnesota and Wisconsin are doing for their economic uplift. The public should make effort to attend these weekly meetings that are being held for the benefit of the masses, as they are instructive and offer a concrete plan of economic relief and advancement.

P.) New York, Sept. 26.—Because the captain of the City of New York, Commander Richard Byrd's flagship in his journey to the South Pole, did not think Robert Scott Lanier, colored stowaway who had been given the privilege of making the trip, was strong enough, Lanier was dropped when the ship reached Colon in the Canal Zone.

UNITED PRESS CARNI VAL EXPOSITION UNITED PRESS CARNI VAL EXPOSITION Delayed by inability of the showmen getting set on last Saturday and necessitating a postponement of the opening of the Big Carnival and Exposition under the auspices of the California Eagle and Pacific Defender, the same opened up last Tuesday and played to good crowds with a record breaker on Thursday night. The midway has its attraction with gaudily decorated merry-go-round; Aeroplanes; side shows, etc; but the great big attraction has been the huge dancing pavilion set out in the middle of the ball park. Johnny Mitchell's crack orchestra furnishes the music and it is hot. Fire work will be featured the closing nights, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, when tremendous crowds will turn out to join in the Carnival spirit to meet and greet each other. The two newspapers combined conceived and put on the Carnival as a rest period and relaxation from their strenuous duties as servants to the public and the people in turn have not hesitated to respond in large numbers at the call of the press.

Colored teacher who was imported unknowingly (she states) to institute Jim Crow school silently departed on last Wednesday for her home in Los Angeles. We trust the final requem has been said in this matter and may it rest in peace. Rev. A. P. Shaw, pastor Wesley Chapel; Rev. S. M. Beane, of Hamilton M. E. Church; Rev. B. J. Jordan, Scotts Chapel, Passadena, left by auto on Thursday for Santa Barbara where they will represent their respective churches at the 53rd Annual Conference of the M. E. Church for this district, Bishop Wesley Burns, of San Francisco, presiding. The pastors mentioned will present to the Conference the best report in the history of the local churches. REV. S. M. BEANE Pastor of Hamilton M. E. Church They will be absent one week. Dr Shaw was a delegate to the last General Conference and stands high in the Church Councils of the connection, he is a graduate of Boston University, Rev. S. M. Beane has proven his worth by test of constructive effort, he is from Gammon School of Theology and U. S. C. Rev. Jordan also is a wheel horse in the conection and a product of Philander Smith College. Paul G. Ritter, prominent Los Angeles business man, has assumed charge of the management of Councilman Frank L. Shaw's campaign for Supervisor from the Second Supervisorial District, taking the place of E.Fletcher Scott, who was forced to resign as campaign manager because of its interference with his business affairs. This was announced today, when Ritter, secretary of the Vittim Products corp., took a temporary leave of absence from his company to handle the Shaw campaign. In his letter retiring him from active service as head of Councilman Shaw's campaign committee Mr. Scott said: "You very kindly asked me if I would again handle your campaign for the final election. Much as I would like to have this high honor, I fear that the work would take up so much of my time that I would be unable to attend to my own business affairs. "I know of no finer man, no man more qualified than you to represent the taxpayers on the Board of Supervisors. Your record in the Council has been an inspirational one and I know, sir, that you are able and ready to bring about much needed changes in the conduct of county affairs. "As a former associate of yours I am proud to say that you have always been absolutely honest in all of your dealings. I have profound respect for your personal character and political integrity."

Master John Kinloch Returns to New York John Kinloch who is the 7-year old nephew and Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bass, left last Friday on the Apache for his home in New York City after a stav of 3 months on a visit to his uncle and aunt. John made many friends while here, in fact everybody who met him became his fast friend. He was alert, congenial and a conversationalist surprisingly clever. While here aside from his relatives he was entertained by many of our leading citizens: Mrs. T. L. Woods, Mr. and Mrs. S. Hamilton, Mrs. Idell Bateman and son, his cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Sellers and son, Wilson, Dr. and Mrs. H. D. Prowd, Mrs. Mozelle Outley, and others. He was quite a worker in his uncle's campaign for the Assembly, was the sole poll worker in his uncle's precinct and carried the same with flying colors. He kept things keyed up around the Eagle plant and all hands miss little Johnny who spread good will and cheer wherever he was wont to go.

Y., Sept. 25.—The National Urban League announces that its next Annual Conference is to be held in Louisville, Kentucky, with the Louisville Urban League as host, April 9-12, 1929. This is the eighteenth year of the Urban League's national activities and the movement has grown to the point where the annual expenditures amount to about $400,000 and nearly 300 persons are employed in conducting its affairs. Two, Men Have Same Kind of Ave; One Loses Life Chicago, Ill., Sept. 25—Lomont Coppage and William Porter were players in a little game of stud poker last Saturday evening. On one hand each showed up with an ace in the hole. The unusual thing about the aces was that each was the ace of spades. Coppage couldn't explain his ace, nor could Porter explain his. In the end, Porter pulled his pistol and killed Coppage. Rearrest Trusty Who Gets Outside Job New Orleans, La., Sept. 25.—The sight of a colored trusty from the House of Detention walking out of the Tulane Theater with an armful of mops and brooms aroused the curiosity of a passing policeman, and now the trusty is being held in the first precinct police station. On The Sidewalk By: C.A. B. IF we have any political fights among us, if necessary, let's call a council and settle our own affairs. It is sad to think that after meeting in Forums, Conventions, Get-togethers and the like, that we always have to call in the other fellow to settle our scraps. "We are told that the Eagle is attempting to fly two ways," says an article in the New Age Dispatch of last week. The article goes on to state that the Editor is with the Republican forces, while it is reported that the Assistant Editor addressed a Democratic banquet. Since it was I who was present and called upon to make some remarks at said banquet I presume the writer referred to me. When a couple join in holy wedlock they two promise to love and obey, and I presume that if a husband demand d of a wife that she follow in his footsteps, politically and religiously, she would deem it her duty, but until that time comes she feel perfectly free to decide for herself in these matters. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." It is therefore ours to think and act along religious and political lines as we fit, no narrow and begothed helpmate to lord over us or attempt to tell us how to think. In this situation there will be no hesitation or mental reservation in stating our views whenever called upon to do so. I happen to be no aspirant for political leadership and no slave to party. Whatever course we will elect to pursue will not be for loyes or fishes. If I feel that our group has been a target for the Democratic Party as well as a tool for the Republican Party long enough, and decide to vote for the man I consider that I am well within my rights. This same paper also states that it has heard that the able Assistant of the Editor of the California Eagle is going to make an independent race for the Assembly against Fred Roberts. As a matter of fact I don't believe that there is any such rumor affloat for I never even suggested or heard any such thing suggested save through the medium of this paper. The despotic ruler such as Henry VIII. of England and Louis XIII. of France, when they had satisfied every human desire, wrapped themselves in their own glory and seeked to destroy others in their onward march to fame. It seems that this is the attitude of the Editor of "Seeing things Political."—Yesterday he put forth the leaves of tender hope: Today blossoms and bears his blushing honors thick up uhim.—and because of his glorious anticipation of fame he would tread beneath his feet all who would aspire, and so without any real knowledge of my intention he says that, "it would be a pity for such a useful lady at this late hour to be lead as a lamb to be slaughtered." Two years ago friends of the present Assemblyman offered me a neat sum to run, and I refused because I would never knowingly suffer myself to be bought and sold in Politics, neither have I ever had or have now, any desire to become Assemblywoman even though I have a perfect right to aspire if I so desired, and if I should be so courageous as to contend for the coveted place I see and know no reason why I should be slaughtered. We looked in upon the Minnie Davis Home for Girls Sunday, found about ten girls neatly groomed, very orderly, and properly applying themselves to things worth while. Some were reading the Sunday School lesson, others writing letters to friends, while still others were quietly conversing. The home in proportion to the support and encouragement that it has received is progressing to the extent that it is meeting the needs thrust upon it. We are not at all in favor of any form or fashion of segregation, but in as much as the Japanese, Mexicans, Jews and others maintain such places for their own we see no reason why the Davis Home should not be operated on the same basis. However what is needed is correction and not criticism. We have in hand the case of a bright snappy but serious young girl who passed the County Civil Service examination and applied according to summons, to fill a position in one of our institutions supported by taxpayers; but when she appeared for placement and it was found that she was colored she was told that she could not serve because the institution did no use colored girls. Our "big" politicians who are crowing around about who is who should spend a little more time trying to adjust some of these vital matters that effect the prosperity of our world. Mrs. Lizzie Jones of Berkeley, Cal., and Mrs. Mary Bunday of Sacramento, Calif., spent two weeks in Los Angeles vicinity, visiting many friends. Mrs. W. M. Holvay, 1507 E. 109th St., gave a lovely dinner for them after which more old time friends joined the afternoon chat in person of Mrs. Samuel Miller of E. 111th St. and her mother, Mrs. Rebecca Nash and Mrs. Allie Houston. Mrs. Fannie Smith who has just returned from a very pleasant trip East has been spending a few days as house guest of Mrs. W. M. Halvay. These friends had a most wonderful visit to the real places of interest and most important of all they paid a visit to our own manufacturing company. The Hefflin Manufacturing plant and Mrs. Bunday of course showed her real appreciation by purchasing a most beautiful bedroom suit and will of course enjoy many years of service from this well built piece of work. THE TENOR CONTEST A GREAT SUCCESS The Tenor Contest at Jordan High School was indeed a wonderful Musical feast that will long be remembered by the people of this community. Each of the singers acquitted themselves most wonderfully. It was a close contest for first honors between Geo. Jones and Manuel Mendoza Lopez, with the latter having a slight advantage in the numbers and was awarded first place. A large and appreciative audience was present. Many of the musical people from greater Los Angeles attended the musical. Knights and Daughters of Honor, Golden West Council No. 162, held their regular meeting Thursday, Sept. 20th, S.P.M.

Mrs. Snoode Johnson of Denison, Texas, is spending a few days in our city, and is the guest of Mrs. T. B. Harper on East 106th street. MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. L. M. Curtis, Pastor S. S. Session began at 9:30. Owing to the coolness of the weather, the teachers and students were a little tardy, yet a number were present. The boys had full charge of the day's service. At 11 o'clock our pastor conducted the devotional, and we were so favorably honored with the presence of Rev. Clayton Russell of the Independent Church of L. A. Rev. Russell is a very young minister but fills the pulpit as a minister of long experience. His exaltation was earnest and powerful, and at the closing of this wonderful message, he extended the invitation to the unsaved, and two came forward and united with the church. This young man was not only an inspiration to our younger group, but to the older ones as well. At 7:45 the boys rendered a splendid program, and many displaying their talents in different lines. The music was furnished by Master Coney Woodman, and to this young man we wish to thank him for his hearty support and faithful service to us in helping to make our Boys' Day a success. The boys are happy to say, they surpassed the girls in raising finance. On the 2nd Sunday in October, an "AGE RALLY" will be sponsored by the B. Y. P. U. and conducted by the Vice-Pres. Mr. Lee Copney. All are requested to give as many pennies as you are years old. At 7:45 P. M. we will have a sacred program. Mrs. L. M. Curtis will again present the Junior Choir in full bloom, and they will throughout the evening have charge of the program. We are urging upon everyone to come and hear the Junior girls and boys sing, and encourage those in charge. The choir is under the careful and very efficient leadership of Mrs. L. M. Curtis, with Mrs. Potter assisting. If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Rev. T. F. Jones, Pastor Sunday was community day at Grant Chapel, many of the Friends of the Church worshipped with us. It was also the pastor's last day before going to conference and the members were out in full force to see that the pastor had a full report to make to the Conference. At the close of the sermon Sunday night, the Pastor read the annual report of the Church which showed that fifty persons had been converted, one hundred persons had united with the church and over five thousand dollars had been raised. The pastor left for the conference Tuesday night. Rev. T. F. C. Taylor will have charge of the services next Sunday. All members are urged to attend the services as usual next Sunday. 10th Year Anniversary Celebration 10th Year Anniversary Celebration Congratulations were showered on Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hayman of Parmelee St. South Los Angeles, Saturday evening, the 15th. The many friends of the still youthful couple beseigned them with tin pans, pots, tubs and all manner of useful things, encouraging them on for another ten years. Others there were that expressed themselves in linen, silver, glassware and china. The reception was held at the home of Mrs. Hayman's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chattam of 1214 E. Adams St. The soft lights, beautiful baskets of flowers and strains of music seemed to usher in the romance of ten years before. Mrs. Hayman in dainty blue georgette and Mr. Hayman in conventional evening dress might have been bride and groom instead of the parents of three beautiful children. Music was furnished by the Jefferson trio, Theodore Oliver and Kenneth Spencer. RICHLY ENDOWED BY WEALTHY WHITES (By: A, N, P.) Annapolis, Md., Sept. 19.—By the terms of the will of Miss Margaret Andrews, who died several weeks ago, Charlotte Andrews Johnson, who has just become of age, comes into possession of three distinguished homes, and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of other property which it is estimated will bring her another $20,000. This will make Miss Johnson, the richest colored girl in Anne Arundel County. It is also believed that Miss Johnson is one of the best educated girls in this section, as Miss Margaret Andrews and Miss Katherine Andrews, her sisters, educated the girl in a private institution under the auspices of St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal Church. She later was given instruction in music and art. The surviving sister explained that the family had been severely criticized because of its attitude in the matter of disposing of the estate, but that she had witnessed the will of her sister, and the young girl was worthy of whatever had been given, as she "is a most deserving girl." OBTAINS JUDGMENT AFTER HARD FIGHT (By: A. N. P.) St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 19.—Through her attorney A. Courtney Davis, Mrs. Eva Walton obtained a judgment of $4,000 last week from the Workmen's Compensation Board of Kentucky, after a three-armed fight which lasted for more than a year. This amount is the maximum allowed under the Kentucky Act for the death of any employee. Mrs. Walton was claiming compensation for the death of her husband who was killed January, 1927, in the coal mines of Kentucky. Another wife of the deceased, through a white law firm of Birmingham, Alabama, was making claim to the same money. Mrs. Walton was the second wife of deceased, and the attorneys for the defendant, United States Coal and Coke, Company of Pittsburgh, contended that wife No. 1 was not entitled to damages as she had abandoned her husband at the time of the accident, and that Mrs. Walton was not entitled to damages as second wife, because she was not a legal widow in law.

Six of us — Yolanda and Mafala Colomb, Lillian Greenaway, Alice Kennedy and yours sincerely were cashiers at the different booths—and if you want to get a slant on how the "other half" plays look 'em over at a Carnival. Well our jobs were for one nite only but what with eating enuf hot dogs to float a battleship and dancing them down to the red hot zizzling tunes played by that snappy Johnnie Mitchell and his band, we really missed nothing. And how our girls like the Phillipinos! We saw one ankling along with a student from Jeff. Oh, well, what's in a nationality? Mrs. Gladys Wade and Miss Martha Johnson of the West Side, entertained a group of friends at the home of that cute little Mrs. Marie Clark of W. 35th Pl., last Saturday evening, in honor of Mrs. Wade's brother, Emmett and his friends, Mr. LeRoy Christenson, from Los Vegas, Nev. The two young men were visiting Los Angeles on a ten-day vacation. The red hot music played by "Butsy" Williams was up to the minute, and the many guests enjoyed dancing to the tunes of the latest jazz. Jee冷 punch, delicious salad and sandwiches were served at midnight during an impromptu "entertainment" by some of the accomplished young ladies and men present. Everyone hade a wonderful time including the writer. Messrs, Carl Author and B. Bryler, prominent Silver Fox members, were really showing Mr. Tom Lear a good time last Saturday evening judging by Tommie's general appearance. Oh well, Tom was on his "vacation." (?) The Silver Fox Club members have returned from their vacations and the activity of the club will be resumed. Messrs. E. Pluribus Gudst and Thomas Walker returned recently from a trip north where they visited Mr. Guest's mother. Miss LaVera White was a demure Chinese maiden at last week's production "East is West" at the Lincoln and can be commended on her ability as an actress. Miss White may get a opportunity for a large speaking part in a future production. We got a postcard from Mr. Geo Carey to the effect that he would soon be in Seattle. By this time he probably has arrived there. Oh, and Seattle is so near Canada, so we guess he'll take "opportunity" by the horns cause he may not get that chance again, unless he goes to Detroit. Election of officers for the coming year in the Silver Fox Club are: Pres. Robert Kelsy; Vice-Pres., Harold Baumann; Secretary, Wm. Bowdolin; Treasurer, Hayward Kelsy; Cor. Secretary, Lawrence Patterson; Business Mgr., Louis Cole. The Adelphic Club was entertained with a picnic at Griffith Park, last Sunday, Sept. 23, by Mr. James Williams, prominent member of the club. A red hot luncheon consisting of chicken and all the fixings, ice cream and lemonade were fed the hungry picnics after an afternoon of sport. Mr. Walter Pritchett of Denver, Colo., is a visitor in the city on a visit with his brother, Clarence Pritchett, 966 So. Normandie also his mother and sister who reside at 9414 Baird Avenue. Mr. Pritchett is an old time Kansas friend of the editor of the papr, a splendid citizen and foremost citizen of Denver.

RESOLUTION FROM THE DODECA- GENIAN ART AND LITER- ARY CLUB We, the Dodecagenians, desire to express our sympathy to the bereaved family of Johnny Wood. Johnny Wood was known by all the club, and each member held him in her mind as a gentleman and steadfast friend of the club. We have hoped that God would send him sunshine so that he could remain on this earth a little longer, but we don't understand God's works, but we know His will must be done. During our friendship with him we always knew Johnny to be a true, jolly, happy person, never giving any grief or trouble to anyone—but making the sunbeams sparkle more. He was a young man who was very quick to make friends with the young people, and they were true and steadfast to him, and he the same to them. Johnny had lingered a long while on this old earth plane, and we all looked forward and prayed for his recovery; but as it must be done, so it must—and God relieved him of his sadness and pains, and took him into the land of ever brightness and happiness, to join the hand of his dear mother, who departed from this life a short while ago. The members of the Dodecagenian Art and Literary club are quite proud of one of their members, Miss Gladys Mathonican. She is not only an active member of the Dodecs, but also in the Music Club. During their last election September, she was unanimously elected president. We all wish her a most successful and prosperous term. Mrs. Nealey Holiday, 1365 W. 36th Place, entertained the La Oeste Whisl Club. Thursday, Sept. 20th, with a very delicious three-course luncheon. Prizes were wo nby Mesdames E. Jones, 1st; T. Long, 2nd; R. Denton, booby; S. Thomas, guest prize. The Mysterious Nine Club met at the home of Mrs. Petterson on Wednesday, September 5th. The afternoon was spent in card playing. Prizes were won by Mrs. Peterson and Mrs. Moore, after which every one enjoyed a delicious luncheon. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Moore, 756 E. 18th Street. Red Cross Reports On Florida Hurricane Catastrophe NEGROES ARF THE CHIEF SUFFERERS Washington, D. C., Sept. 25.—(By The Associated Negro Press). With reports reaching the American Red Cross today that oss of life, injuries, property damage and numbers of homeless in some sections of Florida will exceed the suffering in the 1926 hurricane, the relief organization immediately urged upon its Vhapters throughout the nation the great need for rushing monetary assistance for both the Florida and Porto Rican victims of the West Indies hurricane. Palm Beach county, Floridit, suffered greater loss than in 19296, according to t the first definite reports to reach the public, which were contained in the following messages to the Red Cross, Washington, from Howard W. Selby, chairman of the Palm Beach County Chapter and James N. Gilman, chairman of the Chapter's disaster relief committee: "Total known dead 400, mostly colored, 15,000 homeless, 8,000 without change of clothing. Feeding 9,000 at organized refugee camps today. Increase our official estimate of property damage to 30,000,000 dollars. Food and water conditions satisfactory, so far. Temporary shelter satisfactory. Sanitary conditions good along coast, but becoming serious in Western half Palm Beach county." Advices received from national representatives of the Red Cross who had arrived in Palm Beach County confirmed the figures given by Mr. Selby, Mrs. Ruth McAlister of the national staff wired that two refugee camps were being established in Stockades, one at Miami and a second at Pompano. A. L. Schaefer, Red Cross director of disaster relief in Florida, moved his headquarters from the Mason hotel, Jacksonville to West Palm Beach last night, taking his staff with him. Telegrams from all over the nation from Chapters stated collection of money for the relief fund had gotten under way, with the able assistance of the press, the radio, and the clergy.

Fidel LaBarna's friends rose up and held their breath Tuesday night when Young Nationalista stepped out and floored the former flyweight champ in the first round. But making a great battle of it and showing he was a real fighter he took the rest of the battle by a large margin. In the six-round special, Joe Woods was given the decision over Joe Lohman, of Toledo, who substituted for Andy Mitchell. Both the four-round prelims were tabbed draws. In one Frankie Boldt and Rudy Guyton slugged each other around for four rounds. In the other, Fred Hawkins and Teddy Palacios stood each other even. The crowd was large and enthusiastic. The house went about $13,000 and surprised the promoter.

Resident Called To Monrovia Pastorate The Second Baptist Church of Monrovia has called to the Pastorate the Rev. Frank C. McCall, a pioneer resident of Los Angeles. He was a member of the Second Baptist Church from 1904 to 1907, the Tabernacle Baptist Church 1908 to 1923. While temporarily residing in Santa Barba and serving with the Rev. H. B. Thomas in the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, he answered the call to the Gospel Ministry and was licensed from that church by the Rev. Thomas in 1922, returning home in 1923, serving and connecting membership with the Trinity Baptist Church; was elected and ordained Assistant Pastor in 1924, serving with the Rev. J. A. H. Eldridge, rendering loyal and faithful service. Rev. McCall comes to us as a man whose ideals are high and whose life has always pointed upward and onward. He served with credit in the Los Angeles Post Office as a letter carrier for three years and as a postal clerk for three years, resigning in 1918 at account of ill health. He, single handed, developed a Coffee and Tea Business which was later incorporated, and became known as the McCall Co. and later the Sphinx Coffee Company. He is a man who believes that organization and cooperation are the strongest forces in human affairs. He is a man who loves God and reverences his church, and stands at all times ready to support anything which tends towards the uplift of humanity and society. To serve unselfishly in the establishment of the kingdom on earth and in the hearts of men, Rev. McCall is asking the prayers and sympathies and moral support of Southern California along with your financial aid when called upon. Under his leadership the Second Baptist Church hopes to hold its rightful place in the town and community where it is located and her influence throughout Southern California. It shall be the one great desire of the Second Baptist Church to become great in Friendship, Service, Patience, Kindness and Love. Her motto shall ever be. The Church stands by the Side of the Road That is a Friend to Man. Signed: The Official Board of The Second Baptist Church. W. E. LOCKETT, Chairman, E. D. SPRADDLER, Secretary, Rev. F. C.

Chicago, Sept. 26.—Herbert Hoover, Republican candidate for President, has contributed himself, more than any other living man, to eradicate the social and economic ills from which the world suffers, according to Dr. Louis G. Jordan, one of the most famous of Baptist missionaries to Africa, who is now working for the church in this country. In a statement to Senator Adelbert Roberts, head of the colored division of the western branch of the Republican National Committee, Dr. Jordan declared; "When the World War was on and starvation faced the women and children of the various nations, Herbert Hoover was called upon, like Joseph of old, to provide food for them; when the floods took charge of our country and broke over the levees everywhere, and the city of New Orleans was threatened with destruction, some one was needed to feed men and beasts marooned by the high waters. Herbert Hoover was called to this task and rescued black and white alike. "And now the people of America have called upon him to save a situation in our national government which none but a Herbert Hoover can do. Of course, there are members of our group here and there who are peeved with the Republican Party, but where else can we go? There are times when we get fretted with our children, our wives, our husbands, but we cannot quit and fall out, thus breaking up the home." Hold Pastor On Liquor Charge (By The Associated Negro Press) (Clarksdale, Miss., Sept. 25.—The Rev. E. G. Mason is being held by the federal authorities on a charge of possessing liquor. Mason had just finished service Sunday when he was arrested after being searched by H. S. Furr, Clarksdale prohibition officer. BUSINESSMEN ATTENTION!

Something Doing Every Week End at Parkridge Friday, Sept. 28, 1928 PO Political Pot Pie Major Walter Loving has accepted the management of the Hoover and Curtis ticket for Northern California. He has opened headquarters and is actively at work at Oakland. The Elite Club of which Beverly H. Williams is the leader has announced his club will fire its opening gun of the campaign and designates the same as the united Colored Democracy with headquarters at 2707 Central Ave. All local candidates for non-partisan offices announce that they will start their various campaigns in full blast running from Oct. first to Nov. 6th inclusive. In the 74th District for Assembly man the election for 1928 is over Why "Sing 'em'? The only proposition now confronting the people is action to the end that we can advance along political lines. It cannot be accomplished by crying. The man who was defeated has no regrets and is looking ahead and not at the past. How is this one: In the event of Hoover's election, Hiram Johnson to be Secretary of Interior in Hoover's Cabinet. Mayor Cryer, Lieutenant Governor; Governor Young will resign. Mayor Cryer will automatically become Governor and C. Young will be appointed U. S. Senator. Fantastic though it is, this situation is not outside the realm of possibilities. Fred C. Williams, the Editor of the Pacific Defender has been designated as a member of the Executive Committee for the Republican County Central Committee from the 74th Assembly District. We were really impressed with Dr. J. R. Hawkins, chairman of the National Republican Committee, the department in charge of Negro political activity. We found him broad-guaged and alert to every detail of effort. Nothing narrow about him, every person could have his ear and in due time his decision. While here among other things he was a luncheon guest up If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened Sprinkle Smith Clubs Among Illinois' Colored Population (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, Sept. 26. -In order to break the traditional chain which has bound colored voters to the Republican Party for the past two generations, prominent Negro leaders of the State have set about to boost the candidacy of Gov. Alfred E. Smith and enlist colored voters in the ranks of the Democratic State Organization. W. Ellis Stewart, State Chairman of the Smith-for-President Colored League, reports that active Smith Clubs have been organized in Chicago, Peoria, Springfield, East St. Louis, Cairo, Carbondale, Danyville, and Evanston. at the Democratic Headquarters. Although the head of the enemy military his plain and unassuming attitude made a distinct hit, politics was tabooed for the moment and the Democrats extended him the glad hand. Some narrow pinhead writer of the days gone by and even the present would criticize this act; but it is but a glimpse at his high calibre to so conduct himself. We are mighty sure that Hawkins with a free hand would bring things worth while to pass. Charley Olivier who does not think very much about this publication for obvious reasons and of whom we have no ill feeling at all, as we undistended saved the situation while Dr. Hawkins was here and should be given the credit due to a friend in time of need. People go whore they please this day and time. For us, we have always been on the best of terms with all human kind if they would so permit. Our democratic friends and publican friend we value very much, insisted with one causes no hate for the other. HEFLIN RAPS AL ON NEGRO ISSUE Montgomery (Ala.) Sept. 24. (A.P.) --United States Senator Heffin today delivered another verbal broadside at Gov. Smith, the Democratic Presidential nominee, and John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, in an open letter to E. W. Pettus of Selma, chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, in which he refused the latter's invitation to a place on the State Democratic campaign committee. Senator Heffin brought the race question sharply to the fore, charging the nominee and national committee chairman with indorsing the practice of "social equality", which, he said, has the support of southern Democrats. He cited New York's law providing punishment for a hotel or restaurant keeper who refuses to serve a Negro as proof of his charges, and said Smith voted for that law.—L. A. Times, Sept. 25, 1928. Colored G. O. P. Campaigneers Report Favorable Reception in Middle-West Reports received at the Colored Division, Western Republican Campaign headquarters, show that the colored campaigners in the field are meeting with an unprecedented reception in the various states and districts. Twenty-eight states east of Pennsylvania are under the supervision of western headquarters. Men and women organizers have been sent to the principal cities in each state as representatives of the National Committee to cooperate with the various state organizations. Politicians Overwork FLORIDA COURT UPHOLDS NEGRO DISFRANCHISEMENT Politicians Overwork FLORIDA COURT UPHOLDS NEGRO DISFRANCHISEMENT (By: A. N. P.) Pensacola, Fla., Sept. 10.—The Democritic executive committee of Pen-sacola can bar Negroes from voting in city primary elections and not be liable for any action brought by Negroes denied th right to vote, Judge Thomas F. West ruled in Circuit Court here last Thursday. The question was raised in a $5,000 damage suit filed by H. D. Goode against Thomas A. Johnson, Paul Riera and C. J. Bell, all white, after Mr. Goode was denied the right to vote in the primary election last April. The suit will be appealed to the Supreme Court. The fight among the Negro voters of Pensacola dates back many months to the time when colored political leaders who had organized a Republican club of voters decided to enter these voters in the Democratic primary. The leaders anticipated obstacles that would be placed in their path by white Democrats and dissolving their problems when he is elected president." Mrs. Myrtle Foster Cook, director of the colored woman's bureau, is enthusiastic over the prospects of a Republican victory. The speakers bureau in Chicago has received hundreds of requests for speakers to appear before church and club groups, fairs and other public gatherings. Homer Phillips, general organizer of the western colored division, in the field with his men, reports: "On every hand there are indications that the issues of the campaign, as we have foreseen them, have reached the people. Colored voters are looking for a substantial man, a man who can accomplish things. They believe Mr. Hoover is that man and this great campaign. DIGEST St. Louis Whites Seek To Bar Their Negro Barber From Fine Home (By: A. N. P.) St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 19.—Indignant white property owners last week offered to buy a 30-foot lot owned by a Negro and compensate him for all expenses incidental to plans he had made for a $17,000 home at 3402 Wyoming street, as an organized protest to his residing in their neighborhood. The Negro is Albert E. Wilkinson, barber, with a shop in the Chamber of Commerce Building, where his clientele is composed of white business men. Wilkinson indicated h would accept the offer from the white Wyoming street property owners, but "At first I thought this was going to be a tremendous job." Mrs. Cook declared, "but I find encouragement everywhere and I believe we will have a great victory. My correspondence indicates that at least ninety per cent of the women are going to vote for Mr. Hoover." Mrs. Lethia Fleming of Cleveland, Ohio is directing the work of the women in the field. C. F. Richardson, Richmond, Ind., is at headquarters with State Sena or Adelbert Roberts of Illinois, assisting in the direction of the campaign. ed of them intelligently. Before the primary, there were several legal skirmishes, with the attorney general of the state ruling against the Negroes. The leaders of the fight did not believe that the Negroes would be permitted to vote in the primary, so they instructed certain members who were to try to vote to obtain affidavits from write precinct judges, sustaining their dental of the vote. These affidavits were to be made the part of later suits, such as Mr. Goode has just filed. The decision of Judge West is not a disappointment as the leaders of the movement here feel that it will be necessary to carry the case to the United States Supreme Court, and are prepared to do so. asked for time to consider the matter. He and his family are now living at 4241 Finney Avenue. FEAR OF INVASION A spokesman for the indignation committee explained to Wilkinson that there would be a decline in their property values if he should be allowed to live in their neighborhood. It was also suggested that some residents "might be unreasonable" in their treatment of "undesirable" neighbors. They are, of course, "bluffing." It is understood that for the last seventeen years, George W. Evans, a postal employee, has lived at 3400 Wyoming street, in close proximity to the ground on which Wilkinson had planned to erect his home. Evans formerly owned Wilkinson's lot but sold it to a white purchaser who in turn sold it to Wilkinson for $1,400 two years ago. The barber told the white committee that since Evans, who has children, had lived in the block seventeen years, he could not see why he and Mrs. Wilkinson could not get along with white neighbors. Would you shave a Negro in your shop?" Wilkinson was asked. He is said to have replied in the negative, declaring he could see no connection between that and his desire to become a more respectable and substantial citizen. Stabs Her Man; Flees (By The Associated Negro Press) Bogalusa, Lo., Sept. 25—Will Kenny, employed by the Great Southern Lumber Company, is in a local hospital, with slight hopes of recovery from knife wounds in chest, shoulders, arms and head. Police are endeavoring to locate Nancy Kenny who wielded the knife. When last seen Nancy was headed for her former home in Angie, via the N O G N railroad tracks.

He furt Herbert Hoover, Nominee of the Republican Party for the Presidency of the United States, in his formal acceptance of the nomination before more than 75,000 persons, August 11, at Palo Alto, California, said: "The leaders of our republic propounded that all men are created equal and all should have equality before the law." He further stated: "Equality of op-portunity is the Portunity is the right of every American—rich or poor, foreign or native-born, irrespective of faith or color.

It tolerates no privileged classes or castes or groups who would hold opportunity as their prerogative. Only from confidence that this right will be upheld can flow that unbounded courage and hope which stimulate each individual man and woman to endeavor and to achievement." could not get along with white neighbors.

QUALITY FOR ALL Have Equal Opportunity Faith or Color STRESSES SQUARE DEAL BEFORE LAW --- Page----Five If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Harpoened Page----Six EDITORIAL WHERE ARE THE BUGGIES? The Kansas town of Hutchinson has about 20,000 inhabitants, 2,777 automobiles and one buggy—and that not in commission, but stowed away in the loft of a former livery stable, which is now a garage. What has become of the buggies of America? Horse-drawn trucks and farm wagons and spring wagons there are in plenty, but the vehicle which was to other vehicles as a yacht is to a tramp steamer is no longer part of the panorama of streets or roads. Swiftly, in a sense while people were just looking the other way, all these equipages passed from view. There are historic vehicles in the repository of the Studebaker corporation on South Bend—the landau that belonged to Grant, the carriage in which Lincoln used to ride, the state carriage built for Lafayette—but doesn't this corporation make something new that runs without horses? For religious reasons Mononite farmers in Ohio and Kansas stick to the buggy. When the roads of mountain Kentucky are bettered, maybe it will displace the saddle horse and win a little empire of its own. Elsewhere its wheels are on scrap-heaps, and the mice build nests in its leather seat in cobwebby carriage houses, and hay is piled over its skeleton in barn mows. Too bad! Not so long ago it was the vehicle of pride, the chariot of adventure, the rumbling caravansary of sentiment, the traveling ark of the covenant in which tender vows were plighted. Not so long ago—but things move fast. BYGONES The business man or manufacturer whose hope for the future are wrapped up in an expected return to pre-war normalcy is out on a limb. For pre-war normalcy never will return. That's history. We still hear suggestions and hopes of reverting to old-time methods and the pre-war business basis, but, according to Dr. Julius Klein, of the United States Department of Commerce, "such a retrogression would be about as simply as an attempt to return to the middle ages—and about as profitable." There isn't a great deal of room in business these days for Aunt Sarah, who inherited a shoe factory and insisted that the factory go on making high-laced shoes because Uncle Ezra sold 'em in the 70s. American business never was more dynamic and volatile than it is today with a constantly changing front in practically all lines. Since 1921, Mr. Klein points out, American business has left as monuments of its progress a long succession of junk-heaps of discarded processes, antiquated ideas and obsolete policies. There have been tragedies of those who clung too long to revered and once profitable practices. The new business man must be eager to take advantage of the slightest changes in trend. It is no day for secrecy. Backward glimpses should not be longing and desirous of what is behind, but intelligently inquisitive of facts. GLORIOUS SEASON Nature is speaking sweetly in these dying days of summer. Her message is one of the serious and beautiful things of life. To feel it, go out among the trees and hills, near some lagging river or brook and witness the passing of a season. The beauty of fall is the red-grey glow of reminiscence. Trees that we remember budding into brilliant green in spring now have faded. But how prettily faded! Like a mother, in reverent age, donning the silver mantle of white hair! A fading tree speaks mutely of how splendid a thing age can be. It is a great art to fade beautifully. The hills that had been clothed with the vigor of bright greens have taken a quieter, more peaceful outlook now. It is as though age, in a pretty shawl, sat rocking peacefully, remembering and waiting. Down in the valley all is quiet and lovely. The boisterous brook of the spring is singing a different song now, a melody of contentment. Along the banks the trees nod gravely, the trees that had known and gloried in the lashing passion of summer storms. A miracle of miracles is working in the outdoors now. To witness it is to know a little more about life—and peace. MAY BE TO SAVE 50 YEARS The average time it takes a fast railroad train to pass a crossing is seven seconds, according to a speaker before the National Association of Railroad and Utilities Commissioners. Yet, according to statistics presented at the same session, more than 7,000 automobilists were killed at grade crossings last year. They couldn't wait seven seconds. They will wait where they are till Gabriel blows his trumpet, for there is no way of beating that. It is very difficult for the driver of a fast-moving automobile to gauge the relative speeds of his car and a swift train converging on the same point from different directions. Therefore there is only one safe rule to follow: Let the train go by. What are seven seconds in the life of a motorist? To lose them may be to save 50 years! To lose them may be to save 50 years! It isn't a misfortune to be an idiot. Think how many news stories conclude with the words: "The driver escaped unhurt." CAMPAIGN TIMES It is generally conceded that during the year when presidents of the nation are chosen, that business is not what it should be from the fact that men who control the money markets have gotten in the habit of waiting to see whether the contest is going to their liking. Some persons have said that for this particular year, that no such conditions exist, because of the fact that big finance is on both sides and regardless of whether Smith wins or Hoover financial circles will be undisturbed. This preechment may be alright but to our way of thinking therewill be just the same apprehension in this election as in any other and after the election things will begin to pick up aong business lines as never before. There will then be the satisfaction that will cause dizzy doubt to roll away and all people will be on their way for greater accomplishments than ever before. HEAR CASE STATED! READ, THINK! We have no quarrel with anyone about the way they make up their minds to vote. As a matter of fact we are of the opinion that if all citizens would listen to a case stated, read and then make up their minds just exactly how they want to vote and proceed to do so, we would have a better government in which to live. Coercion, fear and trepidation should not come within the realm of the sacredness of the ballot. ONE WHO KNOWS Take it from one who knows and you will never go wrong in voting for the Republican nominee for vice-president of the United States, the Hon. Chas. M. Curtis. COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON The campaign for president is on in earnest. California started off with a bang when the political celebrities gathered in San Francisco, and Los Angeles to give Herbert Hoover, California's entry, a rousing start. The Republican State Committee gathered for their feast at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. Governor C. C. Young was the guest of honor and principal speaker. The speaker kept his audience full of enthusiasm, and his terse sentences were punctuated by applause. Greetings were exchanged by radio with a similar meeting held in the city of Angels where ex-Sepator Frank Flint and a number of the "Faithful" lit the fire of enthusiastic resolve for the success of the Republican party. Governor Smith, Democratic nominee, is also telling them all about it. Down in Oklahoma he paid his respects to ex-Senator Owens, who claims that he can't ride with the Donkey any more, since he is reputed to be an advocate of what they term in prohibition slang "Jackass", whatever that may be. Possibly some relation to the Donkey. Dr. Straton, the Baptist preacher from New York who wanted the Governor to debate with him in Madison Square Garden was there and sat on the platform. He says that preachers should take part in politics to purify it. Well, here is a sample of the purification. Speaking from a platform in Texas, Dr. Straton says, the environment of Governor Smith's birth, and his coming from the "Side Walks of New York, influenced by saloons and Tammany is not the proper surroundings from which to choose a president of the United States." Or words to that effect. Thank God that not all of the American people think as Dr. Straton, or the "Door of Opportunity" would be closed to many of us who are striving for the top, and who were not born in castles. As Lincoln said, "God must love the common people, he made so many of them." And then again, neither Abraham Lincoln nor Andrew Jackson, were born with the most pleasant surroundings. Even James A. Garfield drove mules on a canal, and no doubt was surrounded with conditions none too moral. Yet he rose above it all and died a martyr to his country. We earnestly believe that a muzzle should be placed on all such fanatical "Blow Hards." They do no good to OUR CAUSE. Remember Burchard and his Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion, which defeated James G. Blaine? And that too when everything looked roseate. And we would advise Hubert Work to tell Mable Wilderbrant to put a soft pedal on some of her utterances or put a muzzle on her. It is our desire to see Our party victorious. Slurs and vituperation might elicit the applause of a ribald audience but they don't win votes. Any person with an ounce of sense knows that a great state like New York would never elect for the fourth time any man who did not possess character and ability. At that we are going to use our best efforts to see that he does not become the president of the United States. It is not Smith, but the party which he heads. We do believe that its issues as platformed will be the best for the nation. We do not like the stand the Democrat party takes on the tariff, Some of which are vital to the interest of our own state, California. We have always contended that Prohibition was a moral question effecting the whole people, and should not be made a partizan issue. And as for religion: "Render unto God that which is God's, and unto Caesar that which is Caesar's." The preacher who will drag a religious issue in the mire of a political battle field is a hypocrite when he says that he is an Ambassador of the Master: A Japanese youth over in Hawaii read about Loeb and his nal and the Frank case, and how Hickman, who killed and mutilated a school girl has succeeded in gaining front page notoriety; thought that he would emulate their deeds so enveiled a lad to a secluded place and strangled him to death. Then he wrote to the father of the lad; demanded a ransom of $10,000, received $4,000, spent five dollars, was apprehended, confessed and we hope that the Hawaiian courts will not be dillentary about his conviction, sentence and execution. If justice had been more swift in the case of Loeb and Hickman; had there been less publicity about their trials; there would have been no time for some degenerate youth to have become obsessed of the desire to do likewise. California needs to execute her laws they are drastic enough. There is always some mauldinl sentimentality to keep the culprit in the spotlight. Something to always halo them or make a hero or heroine of them. The insanity plea was the craziest piece of legislation ever enacted. Senator Roy Fellom may mean well in his advocacy for the abolishment of capital punishment, but it would never do for California. Unfortunately, the state is becoming the dumping ground for felons the world over. Not only the climatic conditions invite them, but they have an inkling that they stand a good show of being either freed or lightly punished for any crime they might commit and be apprehended. A little more rapidity in the adjustment of the noose, where murder is committed, and stiff penitentiary sentences where warranted, would put fear of the law and respect for those who represent it into the heart of criminals. * * * * * There are a number of young men and women of the Race attending the Junior College. They represent the different parts of the state. The college is preparatory to entering the University of California and gives an excellent training for two years. It is to be hoped that too much stress will not be laid on social activities. We cannot afford to ape the other fellow and compete successfully in studies. Letter societies are fine when they don't tend to arrogance and snobbishness. We see it sometimes and deplore it. Slicked down heads don't always hold the most alert brains, and ability to do things don't at all times lay in twinkling toes. Intersperse mirth with serious thought and study. That is what you should strive for. That is what our people need. The Weekly Survey BY: LEON WHITAKER California has long been praised for its admittedly marvelous public school system. As public school systems go, there is little doubt but that the Gold State ranks among those with the best. Hundreds of acres are devoted to public enlightenment. Millions of dollars are spent annually throughout the State. Thousands of people derive the essentials of life from a willing society in return for their services in mass edification. Legally, the public school is a function of state government. Millions of dollars are spent annually throughout the school district is a State divisional unit, existing for the purpose of efficient state administration. It is a public quasi-corporation. A rather recent appellate court case explains fully and pointedly that it is not jurisdictionally connected with the local or municipal government. The people of the locality elect the members of the "Board of Education," or whatever the trustees of the district might call themselves. But from that time on, the body politic of the trustees is a unit of statewide administration, existing independently, so far as municipal officials are concerned. The trustees then, by a well systematized and indexed mode of activity, control the appointment, conduct and dismissal of all from the superintendent of schools to the most hopeful, yet lowly, daywork substitute teacher. The many volumes distributed through the public libraries of the State attest to the time and thought that have been given to the mode and substance of preparing the youth for their places in adult society. This material and philosophy are commonly relegated to a new classification of thought called "Education." The Los Angeles City School District is one of the best in the universe. The buildings and equipment have a valuation of approximately $42,000,000. The bonded indebtedness, however, is exceedingly high. Hundreds of teachers, officials, and functionaries purvey learning to the youth of the community. Some of them might well wear the name of "educators," but a large number of them are consciously dodging the shop, store, and factory. Thousands of children and adults are enroiled as consumers of this vast producing plant. There are many colored children within the schools. For more exact statistical information concerning colored teachers and colored students, the reader is referred to a recent issue of the local Teachers' Journal which issue was devoted exclusively to the colored people of this district. Training the youth in the necessary craft of the immediate civilization has long concerned "free" peoples. When the slaves of England and Europe were toiling under the bitter lash of feudalism, serfdom, and villeinage, the "Bush," Africa's great secret society, was preparing the youth of the tribes for adult responsibilities. The American colonies, the United States, and now Europe, favor public education. It is a good thing, no longer a theory in western civilization, but an actuality. The people, the masses, support social institutions. The tailing, sweating, humans of Los Angeles carry the clear and bonded burden of public instruction within this district. The colored people, almost essentially a labor group (true despite the aggregations of petty criminals and loafers we see in our thickly settled localities) carry an appreciable part of this load. For this reason, apart from the hoped for, but seldom seen, benefits supposedly attached to our so-called "citizenship," we, the colored people, are due the privilege of participating equally and identically in the public school education. Restrictive covenants, neighborhood agreements, and the desire to be together have worked effectively to put the bulk of our population east of San Pedro street. The encroachment of industrialism and cheap Mexican labor are driving us south of Washington street. The principal high school in this locality is Jefferson High School. McKinley Avenue Junior High and LaFavette Junior High afford the first touches of secondary training; while there is a fair sprinkling of ordinary grammar schools throughout. Direct teaching is only a part of the work of the modern school. The unconscious learning is all important. The sympathetic attitude of the teacher has an inestimable effect upon the mind and attitude of a child. A teacher who is working only for her or his salary may do a child far more harm than the gatherings of facts and modes may do good. Rumor has it that there are a number of such teachers in some of the secondary schools. This rumor, because of its persistency, bears investigation. The attitude of teachers in some of the grammar schools may be indicated by the fact that it is definitely said that principals in schools almost entirely surrounded by colored people positively refuse to have colored teachers, regardless of their equipment and ability, in the schools. Without question, there ought to be an able, complete, and critical survey of the grammar schools of the East of San Pedro section, with emphasis put upon observing the ability, attitude, sympathies, and morals of the people in charge of instruction. Union Avenue School, on Union Avenue just east of Pearlville Boulevard (W. 1st St.) is interesting because of the atrocious conditions that prevail there. The colored children are forced to play on one only of the several max-noles. They can be on the slides only on Monday mornings. "But," as one little girl said proudly, "we can be on all the swings every day." When the writer began his school career there, twenty years ago, no child dreamed of such conditions. Think of it! Just think of it! Mexicans, apanese, or Chinese, wJould never stand for it; but we, "American citizens," driven to feed cannon like dumb cattle, put up with it. The rising tide of colorphobia is having an acceleration. For a while, doubtty individuals such as young Thurman fought it in Imperial Valley. But colorphobia soon strangled Negro leadership. Subsidence set in. Now, jim-crowism is an established, though extra-legal institution, in Imperial Valley. In Blythe, our American Legion "buddies" are said to be injecting colorphobia. We wonder if it will likewise strangle the colored leaders. (We also wonder just what European minorities think of it! Mexicans, Japanese, or Chinese, would never stand otism, his flag, and his party.) Union Avenue School shows that colorphobia has openly bitten Los Angeles' public school system. Whether it takes hold, and then strangles, will depend largely upon those who guide our local destinies. It is a commonly noted fact that Negro leadership is continuously bickering and battling among itself. Further, it will present a united front against all who try to do anything that may directly or incidentally supersede it. Yet, when any issue faces it that may cut off the lucre coming to one of its constituent parts, it will turn and scurry forcover. We believe that some of the Negro leaders of Angeles are not of the above type. Despite this belief, some of the hitherto most vociferous of them have become conspicuous, in this crisis, by their silence and apparent inactivity. It might not be an unwise plan for an enterprising individual among them to call the others, social, political, financial, and whatnot, into conference. At this conference they might consider the school problem in an efficient manner. They could then appoint a committee to act as a fact-finding and fact-sifting body. After the report and recommendations of this committee, the conference could take action. There is a widespread well worked out program of segregation now on foot in Southern California. Unless the attentions of our group are directed toward sensible methods of counteracting it, we may as well bid good-bye to the rights and privileges enjoyed since 1890, the year in which Wysinger V. Cruickshank was decided. Friday, Sept. 28, 1928 BY: DR. C. W. MULLINIKS ATHLETICS We have read a good many articles on the subject of athletics in schools and colleges. Some for and some against. We don't see how anyone can be at fault for beneficial results, which have been attained, from physical exercises whether it be from gymnastics or physical culture. Both men and women have been changed from the list of sickness and uselessness to hate-hearty and useful citizens. Like most good things it can be overdone and as a consequence we sometimes see sickness as a result of over training and letting down too soon thunder. However, these are exceptions to which we have no experience. The good effect on under developed girls and boys is never published in our daily papers so it is not known to anyone except the ones benefited. There is one mistake made by those who teach school athletics, and parents are partly to blame. Girls during the first two years of puberty should be taken off of the heavy exercises. We know that no teacher of exercises or athletic instructor would willingly allow a young girl to make an abnormal woman of herself intentionally. But children don't complain of little aches or inconvenient feelings caused by games, for fear of being thought a weakling. So naturally teacher doesn't know, and too he may have so many students to train, that he can't stop to consider ages. Mothers of young girls who are changing from girlhood to womanhood should notify their teachers of this fact. We are sure they would be glad of the knowledge. Don't be afraid to state the facts. We have had some mother come to us and say: "Dr. will you write a letter to daughter's teacher, they won't listen to me." In nearly all these cases we have found the mother was too harsh or timid to state the facts. Here is the usual method of most mothers: "Teacher, I don't really think daughter is strong enough for the games you are allowing her to play." When your child's health is at stake either state the facts yourself or go to your physician at first, he will be glad to help you at any time, but bad rather you would not make the teacher "mad" before coming to him. Public Sentiment BY: F. HYDES In every walk of life, every endeavor or put forth, whether by individual, groups, classes, or by the masses, there is an influence known as "Public Sentiment," which through some unjust practices of demoralization, tends to be very destructive to Law, Order and Society, or either through some more justly administered method prove to be of a very constructive measure by which any line of progressive endeavors will retain its objective. Any individual, group, class, or mass, will improve their virtues if these facts are true and in accord with the General Order of things; then the fact remains, in unmistakable terms, that "The truth though crushed to the earth, will rise again and be heard." Some years ago, one Marcus Garvey came upon the scene in the greatest metropolitan city of these United States of America—New York City—and organized an organization known as "The Universal Negro Improvement Association, to say nothing of his strenuus line, known as The Black Star Line. With three mighty vessels ploughing the high seas, the first Negro organizer with such a broad vision, the great Monster in all his fury was around "Public Sentiment." Through unjust technicalities Garvey was ushered behind prison on bars and hushed for a while. The Monster, "Public Sentiment," went to sleep, satisfied with his great triumph. Two years later Garvey was released from his prison confinement, left the shores of America and four months later sailed for Europe. The great Monster, "Public Sentiment," after a long sleep, woke up to make a new start. But upon hearing pleading of Garvey as he outlined his desire of Racial adjustment, before the great nations of Europe, the great Monster, "Public Sentiment" has decided to take his stand in the Bright Lights of Christian Civilization and declared that: if the truth must be heard sooner or later, then let's act now and hear Marcus Garvey.

Peonage Charges Dropped Against White Man (By The Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 25. Sam and Ed Fraley, white land painters on Island No. 34, have been released from custody as a result of an order from U. S. Commissioner W. V. Bringle. They had been arrested on charges involving them with peonage and persecution on their farms, but the witnesses whose testimony brought about the charges later changed their story.

Wright. fresh from a torrid fight with Johnny Risko in Omaha, Ne- braska a few days ago, was a heavy favorite in the betting to win; but his most rabid supporters agreed that he met his masteh in the Oklahoma cowboy. ‘Th: burly “cat” climbed first through the ropes.

Neither seemed the least perturbed.

The Omaha battler, weighing well over two hundred pounds, took ad: vantage of his lighter opponent in the clinches, which were all too frequent. In the second round, Wright landed a hard right above Owens’ eye which started the claret flowing, but was no handicap to the “Cowboy”, Ovens fought the “Bearcat” off his feet in the early rounds, winning the second, fourth, fifth, seventh, eight and ninth rounds.

One a championship tussle and the other so near it you wouldn't know the difference. "The Cat and he Canary" opens at the Lincoln Theater tonight and with its thrilling, hair-raising plot, promises to be one of the most successful, entertaining productions yet offered by the famus Lafayette Players, colored artists. Elaborate arrangements have been completed by the Lincoln management to make the new production an outstanding triumph from every angle for the play is a popular one with Los Angeles thetle-goers and will be excellently done by the distinguished Lafayette group. On October the first, Young Jack Thompson, the latest dark skinned sensation tackles Jackie Fields in a ten-round brawl to determine who is to meet Joe Dundee for the welterweight title. Beth Fields and Thompson are favorites up north but the Frisco boys favor Young Jack, the least bit. Thompson never got going in Los Angeles. He traveled north to Frisco and became a sensation. From there he went to Chicago where he engaged in five boots and won them all, four by knock-outs and one decision. Listed among his K. O. victims, was Joe dundee, world's welterweight king. Because of this victory over the Champ, Thompson should rule the favorite. No mystery drama of many years past has succeeded in interesting the public and arousing the curiosity to such an extent as "The Cat And the Canary." Not even "The Bat." "The Gorilla" and "The Rear Car" caused the veritable nation-wide sensation aroused by this "creepy" drama in which the most breath-taking and Ted has been a real champ meeting all comers in their bids for his crown, but they all come off second best. Zorrilla goes into the battle with the knowledge of knowing that he has beat the best at his weight: Sangor, Taylor, and a host of others. But you never can tell about these Jewish boys. They are fighting fools and are liable to toss the old dope Dundee, world's welterweight king, pect it. In the other big natural Santiago Zorrilla, the glove throwing boy from Panama takes on Ted Morgan in an attempt to wress his crown from his head. Since coming to this country Santiago has lost two fights and he reversed the verdicts in return matches. Some record. Few can compare with it.

BECAUSE The Hotel Somerville is the finest and best equipped Hotel owned and operated by Colored people in the United States. 4. BECAUSE the Hotel and Dining Room give regular employment to 35 of our people every day which is the best argument in its favor as it is making room for our own boys and girls. There are also six business places located in the building which are operated by Colored people, also offices for professional and business people. 5. BECAUSE the Company offers 8% per year on your investment and you are, at the same time, part owner of the ground, building and equipment. 6. BECAUSE the Hotel Somerville is a monument to the efforts of the Colored people. One of which every person can speak with pride—an asset to every Colored landowner and a credit to the community. 7.

Walls open suddenly: strange, creepy sounds are heard; keys rattle in locks; icy hands reach out and grip the heroine's throat; mysterious arms draw the kindly old lawyer back into some unknown fate as they appear out of "the nowhere;" and throughout, the three absorbing acts, the audience is at a loss to know what is coming next. In securing "The Cat And The Canary" for presentation by the Lafayette Players, the Lincoln Theater management feels that a decided tribute has been bestowed upon this distinguished colored group, for this marks one of the very few instances when "The Cat and the Canary" has been released to a stock organization. "The Cat and the Canary," when originally presented at the Morosco Theater here in Los Angeles, played to packed houses for approximately six months. The leading feminine role will, of course, be essayed by Evelyn Preer, and this talented colored star is called upon to do some of the most difficult and entertaining work of her career. Edward Thompson will play opposite and other Lafayette Players who have distinctive roles include Sidney Kirkpatrick, Lawrence Criner, Cleo Desmond, Bebe Townsend, Arthur Ray, Monte Hawley, Charles Olden and Laura Bowman. The midnight matinees each Saturday night are becoming more and more popular with Los Angeles theatrers.

THE COMMENTATOR LINCOLN THEATRE 'EAST IS WEST' DEPICTS STIRRING TALE OF RACIAL BARRIERS AND HOW THEY ARE OVERCOME -- BY LOVE! A most wonderful story, I'm telling you. And, the manner in which it is told! That's really what distinguishes this story of the social evolution of the human race from any others that have been told. This self-same truth, that is so vividly unfolded to us, from the angle of the clash between the yellow and the white races over social barriers, can be applied to the Black and White race, in exactly the same manner. Yes, I'm sure; we know this story backwards. J. Lawrence Criner, whom we are too proud to proclaim, Los Angeles' best, came through in this play, in the role of Charlie Yang, an Americanized Chinese, who had an ardent appreciation for American styles, but, nevertheless possessed the heart and soul of a Chinese. As Mr. Yang his role was that of a heavy doing a light villian role. Did it get over? Ask any one who saw last week's bill how they liked the show. You will hear them quote many of the little sarcastic sayings of Charlie Yang. The role was tight. And, Criner really strutted it. I mean. By saying all of this about Criner, I don't mean to say there wasn't any one else in it. No, far from that! Miss Evelyn Preer, who played the feminine lead, as Ming Toy, the heroine was incomparable. But, somehow we always felt the sinister presence of Mr. Yang (Criner). Yet, her lines were good; her acting perfect; and as usual, she was glorious. Mr. Edward Thompson doing the male lead, ha the role of the hero. His method of handling this difficult role was wonderful. The full responsibility of putting over the idea that sibility of putting over the idea that two people from geographical extremities of the earth, could meet, love and marry. As the son of a cultured and snobbish family, fighting against great social odds, he managed to do so, and how! Mr. Sidney Kirkpatrick, as Lo Sang Kee, the foster father, by purchase, of Ming Toy (Evelyn Preer) his role won great and admiring sympathy from his audience. The work, in short, of all these wonderful people was great! We can highly commend the work of the others: Mr. Monte Hawley, (Chas, Olden; Chas, Roy; Miss Cleo Desmound; Miss Bebe Townsend and others. The stage dressing and rich scenic changes were wonderful. Durdee hears the news from Tom McArdie, Madison Square Garden Matchmaker, that he is due to fight Young Jack ThompJsan again, this time for the title. He seems to be registering delight (?)

In addition, one of the highest salaried character actors a four group, Zack Williams, found a very important part in it, as a prison boss. His work was exceedingly good. Also, a new youngster among our group lays some grounds for future prominence for his work in this picture. Some of these days we will do our hats to little 11-year old Harold Clark.

It is now quoted at slightly above $1000, and has paid a dividend of $5 a share every year, Each em- ployee may purchase from 1 to 21 shares at one time and may repert this operation as often as desired. provided he is not paying for more than 25 shares at one time. The mini. mum initial payment is $5 a share and the minimum monthly payment is $3 a share, While employees are paying for stock they are charged 5 per cent interest on unpaid balances but are credited with all dividends declared during the term of the paymnt. All branches of the service from the Pres. ident to common laborers are repre sented in the list of purchasers, SHALL TIPPING BE ABOLISHED According to Ethelbert Stewart the 71 year old commissioner of Labor Statistics of the United States Depart. ment of Labor, the business of tipping is an utterly insane feature of the American industrial system, Mr, Stewart cites that Americans are cow- ards for submitting to such a hold-up, tha tips are demoralizing to both the gtver and the receiver, and should be abolished and the tariff should be raised to cover the extra overhead. In this transformation service employer and employee have a community in- terest and thd employer should as- sume the responsibility of paying his employe a wage worthy of his hire with hours and conditions of employ- ment to encourage his activity. Mr. Stewart further states that the Unit ed States Department ot Labor is against the system of tipping, but can- not do anything about it. It is as helpless as the poor, miserable citizen feels when after being soaked good and plenty for his meal and having paid witl{ pain his tip to the haughty aristocrat who handed him his food finds himself being held up by a hat and coat bandit at the door. All trades subject to this method of remunera- tion are vigorously fighting for a liv. ing wage with the abolition of the tipring system. RANDOLPH BECOMES ELK A.
