1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 BEAT OFF WHITE INTRUDFR Told To Run; Then Shot ATTACKS POLICEMAN VOLUME 42 BEA CIRLS BEAT WHITE MASHERS While driving peacefully home on Central Avenue, last Sunday after taking a girl friend home from work, Mrs. Clyde Howell and Miss Grace Garth were disturbed by two white men in another car who attempted to fire with them. Although the girls ignored them, the men continued and soon became quite insulting. They finally forced the girls to the curb and one of the men remarked to Miss Garth, who is very fair, "You seem out of place down here. I bet you are some society girl on a lark." The girls got out of the car determined to give their tormentors a sound thrashing. Just as the scrimmage began, Mr. Al Barrett, a friend of the girls, happened along and finished what the girls had begun. Two Tots Perish, Parents Are Dangerously Burned When Fire Destroys Home Early Thursday morning, October 11th, fire destroyed a dwelling, claimed two lives and sent two others suffering to the hospital. Lizzett, 6 months, and Fortaine, age 2 years, were burned to death as they lay in their cribs. Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy and Mattie Woodyard of 1380 E. 20th St., were taken to the receiving hospital suffering from second and third degree burns.

To Investigate Torture Of Old Man Jennings, La., Oct. 9.—District Attorney Robira has announced that the Jefferson Davis parish grand jury will investigate a charge made by Will Parker, that he had been tortured with hot irons and forced to sign away all of his property. The announcement was made after a conference between the district attorney and Sheriff Fonteot at which a number of witnesses were examined. Davis went to the police station in New Orleans with his story of torture. He was accompanied by Edward Ewing, who said he had been hired to kill Parker. The old man blamed the alleged torture on his action in selling a bale of cotton and keeping the proceeds. Told To Run; Then Shot (By: A. N. P.) Laurel, Miss., Oct. 8.—Charley Moore, 24, is a patient at the state hospital here with a bullet wound in his back which he says was inflicted by an unidentified group of white men who accosted him on the highway near Stafford Springs north of here, while on his way home from work at the Springs Hotel, Sunday night. Moore was commanded to run, he said, and had taken but a few steps when shot down. A passing motorist brought him to Laurel. --- Sunday is the regular monthly meeting of the N. A. A. C. P., Pico and Paloma, Zion A. M. E. Church. Mr. J. A. Garritol, editor of the affiliator Magazine and Pres. of the Affiliator's Association will speak.

Everyone come out. DR. H. C. HU'DSON, Pres. S. COLE, Reporter Collective Action Necessary for People's Welfare Collective Action Necessary for People's Welfare The meetings of the Pyramid Cooperative Association which are being held every Thursday night at Tabernacle, Baptist Church, Hemlock St. near 12th, are brim full of enthusiasm and human interest. This enthusiasm is not of the hand-clapping type, but of thoughtful and thinking men and women who believe that the time has come when the race should begin to supply itself with the fundamental necessities of life. The sincerity of these men and women who are attending these weekly meetings is evidenced by additional memberships every week. Mr. Carrere made a very interesting report on the working class of people in Superior, Wisconsin and in other centers of that State and in Minnesota. The report showed how the masses of workers are solving their economic problems through cooperative enterprises like the Pyramid. The speaker mentioned the fact that the Franklin Co-operative Creamery Association was now doing an annual business of $1,500,000.00. The speaker mentioned many more such enterprises but space will not permit our naming them. The people are advancing themselves along all lines in those communities because they have the foresight to take advantage of their buying power. The weekly meetings of the Pyramid Cooperative Ass'n, are bringing to the attention of the people that while parents will make untold sacrifice to put their boys and girls through school little effort on the part of the race is being made to enter and develop businesses that these same boys and girls might be employed when out of school. As was brought out on the floor by one of the speakers Negroes of Los Angeles spend over $10,000,000 yearly for foodstuffs alone. This amount of food is being sold to us in our own community by merchants whose only interest in the race is personal profit. The people in our community are becoming convinced that the Pyramid is right when it says that to have other races furnishing us with our food is a total loss to us, and that the only remedy for such a condition is through collective action on the part of the masses. (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, La., Oct. 8—As police were taking him out of an automobile Sunday at the first precinct station, Sam Spriggs smashed Patrolman Daniel Canflin twice in the arm and chest, and put up a vigorous battle before he was subdued. Spriggs had been arrested near his residence when police became suspicious of his actions. On the way to the station they said he made a motion as though to draw a revolver out of his pocket, but they took it away from him. Mr. Julius Stevens, well known and pibneer citizen, of 1371 E. Washington street died at Norwalk Hospital on last Saturday, 11:30 A. M. Funeral services were held from Wesley Chapel on fast Thursday. Mr. Stevens was a bricklayer by trade and was known as one of the leading and progressive citizens of this section; was a prominent member of Wesley Chapel and served several terms, a sponsor of the Los Angeles Fortm. It is said that business reverses caused his mind to fail him and he was committed to the Norwalk Asylum. His stay was of short duration as his mind gaye way completely resulting in his death. Mr. Stevens leaves a wife and several children and a host of friends who mourn his untimely passing. SEEKS MANDAMUS TO BE CALLED WHITE (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, La., Oct. 9.—A mandamus commanding the city board of health to declare John Baptist Andrew Thomas Laguaite to be a white man was signed Monday in Civil District Court by Judge Mark Bhathner. Laguaite declared in his petition that the board through error had called his father, J. B. Laguaite, "colored" when he died in September, 1925. Walter White's "Fire in the Flint" Appears in French Translation Walter White's "Fire in the Flint" Appears in French Translation New York, Oct. 5—Copies of a French translation by Marguerite Humbert-Zeller of "The Fire In The Flint," first novel by Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, have been received here. The novel had previously been translated into Russian and German. It was also published in England. The French title of Mr. White's novel is "L'Etincelle." HACKS SISTER-IN-LAW TO DEATH --- (By: A. N. P.) Tallulah, La., Oct. 9—The body of Jane Taylor, 22, was found on Montrose Plantation seven miles below Tallulah. She was hacked to death Sam Stewart, her brother-in-law, confessed the murder, according to reports, after his clothing had been found stained with blood. --- (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, La., Oct. 9.—A fall of four feet into the hold of a steamboat proved fatal to George W. Hattchell, 60 years old, 449 South Front street, who died in Charity Hospital of a fractured skull, suffered a few hours previous. Hatchell was employed on board the Steamboat Tennessee Belle, docked at the foot of Bienville street, when he accidentally fell through an open hatch, landing on carg ostored in the hold four feet below. He struck on his head and died shortly after being taken to the hospital. NADEQUATE EDUCATIONAL AND HEALTH FACILITIES AS WELL AS POOR ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES CITED BY: DANIEL W. CHASE (For the Associated Negro Press) When the Department of the Interior submitted the report of its Bureau of Education last spring, it was gleaned from the survey made that "conditions among American Indians were rather desperate." The recent report of the same department with reference to the Negro has already caused much comment, and is likely to produce sharp reaction when the Congress meets. One writer has already remarked, writing from Washington D. C.: "Politicians here are especially interested because of efforts of both parties in the Presidential campaign to win the favor of Negro voters who may determine the election in close Northern cities and in doubtful border states." From an educational point or view the survey points out that there are only 48,000 teachers for 5,000,000 Negro children, and this is commented on in the summary, thus: "National social and economic life demands the training of many more Negro professional and technical leaders." A writer in a local paper called attention to the fact that in an address delivered before a group of workers, a white speaker had said that there are too many professionally trained Negroes. And yet this survey, made by prominent educators and government experts, cites a lack of physicians and dentists, stating that the disparity of trained race leaders is, of course more marked in the professions. It is stated that there are only 3,500 Negro physicians and surgeons in the United States, or approximately one medical man to every 3,343 Negroes while, it is shown that there is one white physician to 553 persons. The condition, as pointed out by the survey, is worse with reference to dentists, there being only one dentist to every 10,540 Negro inhabitants. The survey is of the opinion that "to safeguard the health of the health of the colored people and of their neighbors, to instruct them in hygiene, sanitation, and in the measures necessary to ward off disease and care for those that fall ill, are as essential as intellectual and economic development." MORE AND BETTER EDUCATION Negro teachers are reported in the survey as being deficient in proper training, many not having received more than elementary school preparation, while equal as large a number has only received one or two years' work in an accredited high school. According to the survey Negroes need training in the fields of agriculture, mechanical arts and crafts, the survey stating that "while 1,000,000 Negroes own or operate farms, there are 1,178,000 of the race engaged in ordinary farm lab." Fifty-six thousand Negroes are skilled craftsmen, as compared with 1,371,000 who are pursuing unskilled occupations, or who are employed as day laborers. If the survey is to be taken as a basis of fact, there are in the United States only fifty Negro architects, 184 engineers, 145 designers, draftsmen and inventors, and 207 chemists. The preaching professions suffers, as there are only ten graduates a year from the theological schools. The report is interesting through out, and although it calls attention to the accomplishments of the race in general, which accomplishments have been exceptional, the report states that "THE IMMEDIATE NEED OF THE RACE IS MORE EDUCATION BETTER EDUCATION." WRITER IN "SOCIAL FORCES" PUBLISHES STATISTICAL STUDY New York, Oct. 8.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People cells attention to an important study. "Race Prejudice France and England" by Richard T. Lapiere, in Social Forces for September, a quarterly published by the University of North Carolina. Mr. Lapiere examined hundreds of individuals and a number of hotel proprietors in both countries and has tabulated their responses. Out of 360 people questioned in various parts of France, exclusive of the Seaport Towns, Bordaux and Marseilles, only 9 admitted race prejudice, 72 more doubtful and 279 had no race prejudice against Negroes. Of 31 hotel proprietors questioned in France 24 said they would admit well-behaved colored people. "The fact that, with the exception of tourist hotels whose policy is adjusted to foreign, not French, attitudes, French hotel proprietors do not object to colored guests," writes Mr. Lapiere, "certainly indicates that the French people as a whole are not adverse to associating, at least impersonally, with dark-skinned peoples." In England Mr. Lapier found a relatively much higher degree of race prejudice, 254 out of 315 people questioned admitting prejudice, 47 being doubtful and only 14 without it. Out of 20 English hotel proprietors questioned, only 4 would admit Negroes. "One face stands out from this present study," writes Mr. Lapiere, "which has a general application to the problem of racial prejudice. Since the French people have no general antagonism to or distaste for skin color, that fact definitely precludes any concept of race prejudice as arising from or on an inherent psychological valuation of white skin by the whites, and a 'natural' revulsion for dark or black skinned peoples. . . . This fact forces one to the study of social, not biological origins where color prejudice is found. Moreover, no biological explanation can account for the difference found between France and England in their attitudes toward colored peoples." BATTISH-MOTEN NUPTIALS BATTISH-MOTEN NUPTIALS The marriage of Mrs. Bessie Battish to Mr. Otto Moten was solemnized at the home of Rev. R. W. Underwood, Tuesday eveing, September 27, 1928. The Rev. Underwood officiating. The bride and groom thought they were keeping it all a secret, but on their return home after the marriage they opened the doors and to their great surprise were greeted with congratulations from a house full of friends, Board No. 2 of Phillips Temple of which Mrs. Battist is a faithful member, had gotten a hold of the secret and had come with refreshments and gifts to await the couple on their return. It was a delightful evening. On Tuesday evening, October 2nd, the couple received more than one hundred guests at the Republica Tea Room. It was a beautifully carried out affair. An elaborate programme was presented with Mrs. A. C. Bilbrew as Mistress of Ceremonies. Many beautiful gifts were received. Mrs. Moten is a member of Phillips Temple Church and choir, and is much loved by all. Mr. Moten is a young man of sterling worth. He is the son of Mrs. W. A. Robinson, State Missionary for the Baptist Association. The couple are at home to friends at 1516 Newton Street. Thursday evening, October 18th at Phillips Temple, 42nd and Wadsworth an array of young talented women some products of our own city; another a more finished product of the highest center of culture—Boston—will appear for your pleasure. MRS. CARRIE ALBRITTON DANIELS It has been predicted that this will be the unusual in entertainments of the higher arts for already people are running hither and tither in search of more tickets. In just a short space of two weeks the Publicity Committee of the Mt. Zion Choir under the chairmanship of Mrs. Beulah Johnson has disposed of all tickets and are now telling everyone to purchase from those with tickets in hand or be at the church extra early the night of the Recital to be sure of a seat. Even before the tickets were MRS. ALBERTA ALBRITTON FRANKLIN off the press, friends of Mme. Daniels were enquiring for them. It is certainly unusual for an entertainment of this class and predicts a brighter day for those endeavoring along artistic lines. Mme Daniels needs no introduction to Los Angeles as a young girl she attracted much attention here by her MRS. IDELL ALBRITON BATEMAN remarkable voice. After ten years of training in Boston, under the great Alfred Hubbard and in the New England Conservatory she comes back the (Continued on Page Two) LAST Sabbath we visited Miss Emma Lue Sayers at Olive View Sanitarium. We found Miss Sayers cheerful but very ill. When she was active Emma Lue was part of every movement that spoke for progress, and now that she is physically unable to mingle with the throng may we not forget her. She is too weak to receive many callers, but post cards and other small tokens of affection and apreciation sometimes tell the story. Los Angeles, Calif. Appreciate your interest in situation here greatest need of Florida sufferers is money, for rehabilitation plenty clothing, on hand. MARY McLEOD BETHUNE. The above is a telegram received by president Mrs. Lauretta Butler for the native California's Club which organization is preparing a benefit to be staged at Washington and Central, Thursday evening, October 18th, for the benefit of the Florida flood sufferers at which time the general public is expected to do its biff. Mrs. Bethune who has been responsible for the broadcasting of flood conditions in the Colored section of Florida will see to it that the money raised by the club will be distributed among Colored sufferers only. Mrs. Lauretta as president of the club is heading the movement hence it will and must be a success. --- The combination known as The Lafayette Players at the Lincoln Theatre in "Madam X" this week reached a climax in its presentation. The Lafayette Players in the staging of such dramas as "Rain," "In Old Kentucky," East is West, etc. demonstrate unheated acting in the several feature roles, and proclaim the fact that ability was not distributed with regards to color. After feasting on what Doc Strain and his jazzy jazpers had to offer to Lincoln following, the Lafayette players are like sunshine after a drenching shower. SENATOR ROBINSON, running mate of Gov. Al Smith for Vice-President and President respectively of these United States, has come and gone. Senator Robinson is certainly not a fire-eating Southern Democrat, but a calm, deliberate thinker as was demonstrated last Tuesday evening at Philharmonic when and where he delivered a masterly address touching on the issues of the campaign. SOME old-time Republicans are singing the Sorrow Song about Negroes deserting the Republican ranks and flocking into the D emocratic fold. The wise ones are using the only means left within their grip to an end. They say that should "Al" get bumped off as Presidents sometimes do, Robinson should automatically become President. Well, what if he does? Under both Republican and Democratic administrations Negroes have been lynched, mobbed, driven into isolation and denied their rights of full-fledged citizenship. The Republican Party known as Lincoln's Party, which stands for Justice a and Fair Play in political campaigns, have committed as many sins of omission against the Negro as the Democratic Party has sins of commission—and so with a man of "Al" Smith's calibre heading the Democratic ship, Negroes have decided to revolt. This time let us all together try "The Democratic Party." We have been killed and cooked by our dear old Republican friends; all that is left is to be eaten, and I don't believe the Democrats will undertake such a big job. Hence, left as we surely shall be when the next presidential election begins to loom on the political horizon, the Negro will come in for some consideration other than a mess of pottage.

Whittaker of North Fair Oaks for the past two weeks left for her home last Wednesday via Frisco, Salt Lake City, Denver and Chicago. While here through the hospitality o the Whittakers she has enjoyed numerous diversions in the way of pastimes. Mrs. Whittaker and Mrs. Saunders took an aeroplane flight over Santa Monica bay and far out over the ocean from Clover Field; a trip to Tia Juana visited Catalina and Mt. Lowe. Mrs Saunders is a very dear friend of Mrs. Whittaker's, having taught in the same institution and she expresses herself as having spent a most enjoyable time while visiting here and is loathe to leave notwithstanding engagements, call her home. She is the sister of R. B. Martin, surgeon denist; W. M. S. Martin, chief surgeon; A. T. Martin, ass't. surgeon of the Collins Chapel Hospital of Memphis, Tenn., and J. B. Martin, owner of the largest drug store in Memphis, all of whom are conspicuous characters of that city. Numerous social events and theatre parties were given in her honor by the many acquaintances she has; not all of which served as a source of much enjoyment for Mrs. Saunders who has already expressed a desire to return soon to the sunny shores of California. Mr. Sherman Overr and wife who have resided at the beach for the past few years are returning to their home on Glorietta to reside. With the organization of a Civic League in Pasadena it is hoped that sufficient support be given it to put over at least one program.

But in making a wholesale assault upon the Republican Party, Mr. Thomas speaks as an individuals and does not represent the Washington, D. C. Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. as a whole. Other members do not share his dislike of the G. O. P. "While characterized by brilliant rhetoric, his article does not exhibit the critical acumen, which usually marks his utterances. It is eloquent, but not analytical. It gives the impression of being dashed off upon the spur of the moment, rather than of having ben carefully prepared and carefully revised. Some of the statements needed to be toned down and some of the clauses needed to be qualified. "A stranger to this country upon reading Mri Thomas' article would imagine that the Republican Party was composed of a group of tailless devils and that the Democratic Party was composed of a group of wingless angels. "Mr. Thomas pays a merited tribute to the Republican Party for destroying slavery and to the Republican leaders like Charles Summer, Roscoe Conkling, Benjamin Butler, Robert Brown Elliot, and President Grant who passed the Civil Rights Bill and destroyed the Ku Klux Klan. "And then Mr. Thomas proceeds to rake the Republican Party fore and aft. He assails the Republican Party for refusing to reduce Southern representation, for fostering sesregation in certain Government departments in Washington, D. C., and for torpeding the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. And Mr. Thomas closes his hysterical artille by saying, 'Abandoned by those we have loved, Urdsted, and kept in power where they have made their billions, what other lourse is open to thinking black men bt to go to his former foe and sue for peace." Continuing, Mr. Rhines said, "But the Republican Party is not the author of the woes Mr. Thomas complains of. If it has any sins, they are the sins of omission rather than sins of commission. The Republican Party did not inaugurate disfranchisement and segregation. But the Southern Democrats, into whose loving arms Mr. Thomas will now flee, inaugurated disfranchisement and segregation. The Republican Party did not torpedo the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. It passed the House of Representatives and would have passed the Senate but it was filibustered to death by Senator Underwood and other southern senators before whom Mr. Thomas would now have his colored brethren and sisters get down on their knees to as suppliants. "Mr. Thomas' attitude is that of sheep, who have had one ear bitten off by the wolves and who say to the Shepherd who has given them partial protection. If you do not give us more protection we will go outside the fold and let the wolves devour us entirely." "Mr. Thomas' article reminds us of this tale: HOTEL SHERIDAN 803½ So.

Dorsey of Los Angeles sure knew her English when she opposed Geo. W. Scott of Blythe on his proposal of segregation of schools in that city, of white students from Negro and Mexican children, and although Dr. W. W. Kemp of the "U. of C." didn't wish to come out distinctly to the front in our behalf, he did point out that, "Such procedure might cause trouble with Mexico." (We're not to be thought of at all so long as Mexico's feeling is not hurt). A bright idea, (I call it) on your part Doc, and a minor victory for our race in Blythe. Isn't it too bad that some of us can't be trusted long enough to be nominated and elected to some important office, without making an ugly break, and spoiling our reputation, and in the end, may be the means of our losing that for which we have so long aspired, such is and probably will be the case of Oscar De, Priest, Republican candidate for congress, from Chicago, for the State of Ill. It might interest you also to know that our fair city is not the only place where members of the police department's personal fortunes have been swelled, and running into the thousands, by means of protected vice.

ENNIS IS VINDICATED IN COURT (By Special Writer) The cases against Clarence Ennis came up for trial today, October 18th, 1928, before Judge Leon Wilson. The learned judge dismissed the cases finding Ennis not guilty of any criminal act. The cases were tried in the regular manner. The facts of the cases were gone into to the full extent of the law. The judge informed Mr. Earl C. Cleveland that his Court was a Court for the trying of Criminal cases and not civil cases. Thereupon dismissing the case exonerating Mr. Clarence Ennis from all blame. Lawyer Chas. W. Cradick, the attorney for the defendant told Judge Wilson that this was a part of a plan of Mr. E. T. Cleveland to keep from paying Ennis the commission which he had earned. The attorney insisted that the trial be tried today. But Mr. E. T. Cleveland was willing for the ON S Orchestra IS NOW OPEN FOR ENGAGEMENTS 1183 East 53rd PROPERTY OWNERS Opportunity!!!

Let a athlete especially a boxer make good from home, then watch him and see if he remains unchanged. Baby Joe Gans, the young master, is an example for all boxers who fight their way into fame and fortune. Out in New York, the great metropolis, Baby Gans has made good, yet he is as well liked out there where the dizzy white lights turn many heads as he used to be when crowds would gather around him as soon as he made his appearance on Central avenue or Spring Street. THIS IS WELL TOLD in a letter from his manager, Larney Lichtestien, famous manager of the young master. He says in part, "The way the "Young Master" knocked out Andy Devodi, at the Garden last Friday night was a revelation to the large assemblage. He is now in line to gather plenty of money as his recent sensational victories are the talk of this metropolis. The Referee on several occasions offered to give the fight to Joe, on a soul, but the little fast black requested the referee to allow the bout to proceed. The sports in attendance gave Gans an outburst of applause for his sportsmanship that was further enhanced into a tumultuous ovation when Baby Joe rocked his unfair opponent to sleep. Baby Joe wishes for you to extend greetings and feliciaatations, to his many friends thru the medium of your column, in the California Eagle."

STAR ICE CREAM CO. INDEPENDENT HOW SHOULD COLORED CITIZENS VOTE ON THE BOXING BILL? Through Central Avenue, Hooper and West Jefferson, in Watts, Boyle Heights, and Vernon, wherever there are settlements of colored citizens the propaganda is being spread to turn those already in favor of legalized boxing against it and make enemies of those who had not heptotore considered it. Knowing that the 32,000 Negro votes in a 20-mile radius of Los Angeles if all directed one way will prove of no little balance in the coming election, the hypocritical agitators of blue laws, are making overtures to the black brother trying to line him up against this sport so intimately connected with his history. To do this they are using the same weapon and excuse that they used in arousing white voters against boxing, by shaking the old tiresome worn out, moth-eaten rag of color prejudice. "Black brushes beating up white men, Vote it out!" they told the whites. "You fine colored citizens are being discriminated against. They won't give your wonderful boxes a chance." They tell the colored. But the deceit is plain as the bloodless palor in the clammy hands of those who reach out grudgingly to clash the hand of the darker brother while they inwardly hate him. But the wiser colored brother sees through it although there are a few either so easily misled or who are ever ready to make a mountain out of a mole-hill, that line up against it without first weighing the matter carefully. Those who do would never vote or advise others to vote in favor of Amendment No. 5. We are one-tenth of the population of the United States. If colored boxers get one-tenth of the matches, that is so unfair. Yet in California during the past year, colored boxers boxed in about 30 % of the matches held. At the Olympic 24 main events showed one or both of colored boxers. Morrie Cohen used seventy-one. Two to four were used each week at the Main Street A. C., while Wilmington, Culver City and Ocean Park all used a fair quota. Aside from this even the strictest church member should realize that placed in the peculiar situation that the Negro occupies any additional recognition, gained in one line will help in another. The successful thrifty gentlemanly colored boxer is recognized and respected by whites for his athletic, mental and moral qualities. And this alone helps to open up more recognition and more equal chances in other lines of endeavor than any other agency. Paul Lowry Praises The value of an opinion is set by the status of the man who expresses it. Paul Lowry Sports Editor of the Los Angeles Times one of the country's greatest dailies has the broadness and fairness of all men of his type and in fact is always unsinging his praise of deserving black men. In fact this is a characteristic of the majority of the Sports' writers on local dailies. "BLACK HEROES The rapid advance of Bert Ritchie in football esteem at the University of Southern California leads to a suspicion that the colored may follow in the footsteps of illustrious men of his race who have made all-Amercan elevens. Splattered over a period of years are a number of colored athletes who have made the All-American pickers sit up and take notice—Follard of Balwin, Roberson of Rutgers, Hazel of Rutgers, Slater of Iowa etc. Pollard, halfback on the Brown team, which came west to play Washington State in the first East-West gridiron classic January 1, 1926, was perhaps the greatest of the lot. Weighing not over 160 pounds and comparatively small he was fast and shifty and bounded into the limelight on a team that was not the best in the East. He was unable to shine in his only intercollegiate game here.

Six thousand yelling, leaping, hat and cushion throwing fans saw one of those unbelievable wins on Sunday last when the Cleveland Giants with the score 3 to 1 in favor of Pirrone's strong All-Stars and the crowd leaving tacked up three runs that made it 4 to 3. IT WAS DAY'S DAY They kidded Day, second sacker, about not being much of a hitter but it was his home run that turned the trick. Cade taken from the bench to substitute for Brewer started things by a neat drive that scored a run and left him and Pulen on bases. Everybody on both teams did great. Stearns made a beautiful running catch in center field. Bob Meusel, Yankee flyhawk, collected two hits yesterday. He received a great ovation every time at bat. With one run in the ninth and two men on, Clubbled the ball over the fence to give the Giants the decision. Bullet Rogan pitched for the Giants. Nick Dumovich went the route for the Stars and pitched effectively, barring the fatal ninth. In the other Winter League game played at Long Beach, the White King Soaps, with Hank Hulvey on the mound lost to the Shell Oils, 2 to 1, the Oils scoring the winning run in the ninth.

BECOMES OVER-NIGHT HERO IN OREGON STATE GAME There is a boy living on the west side here who made more history by between Saturday morning and Sunday morning Oct. 6th and 7th than has been made before in local football circles. This is Bert Ritchie who, although he played some in his Fresh man year at U. S. C. has practically been unknown, until he got his chance in the last ten minutes of the last quarter of the same between U. S. C. and Oregon State at the Coliseum, Oct. 6th. Now every Daily in the west has had something to say about how the black successor to Brice Taylor was throws into the game just when a lot of the Trojans had been crippled and although far ahead still at the critical time when the staters fighting with backs to the wall were dangerous enough to turn victory to defeat. The first time he got the ball Ritchie made two yards over center, the second time he made a fast double pass to Tappan, bringing a 5 yard gain. Then like a human battering he hit the State right tackle for 3 yards, then a few seconds later making 4 years over center. The game ended 19 to 0. Among the comments on him is the following in the Record by Sports Editor Stub Nelson, who by the way is one of the ablest as well as fairest and squarest writers in newspaper dom. "Harry Edelsn and Bert Rithie, who looked like a whale of a player in the final period, are the boys to Happenings At The Ben Bowie Post Boxing Show Oct.10th Because of an unavoidable accident this story of the Benefit Boxing Show staged by Pen Bowie Post, No. 228, at while it kept unite a number away 10 did not yet published. But as it is never too late to inform the many friends of the post as to its doings as well as to give credit to the boxers who generously gave of their services here it goes. (Continued on Page Eight) carry my flough in that final touchdown charge. Buss Saunders playing fullback, isn't as consistent a ground-gainer as Eldelson was last term. But Eldelson fits better into the scheme of interference at halfback. He is a fine running mate for Thomas and Saunders will do at full back. Ritchie's work was a distinct surprise if Saturday's effort was not a flash in the pan, Jones has a man who rates more time in the game." As an aftermath of Ritchies triumph it was unanimously decided by student body, faculty, the press and by Coach Howard Jones that he was the logical man for the important and coveted place of full-back, and he was allotted it. So veritably the mantle of Brice, Taylor who helped make U. S. C. famous while it made him famous, has fallen upon the shoulders of Bert Ritchie. Of a tall powerful build, weighing nearly 200, but at the same time of a quite retiring disposition he bids fair to hold and wear well the duties and high honors resting on him.

P, Webster, Chi cago Division Organizer, a porter from Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, New York and th Southern Districts, were called into a secret conference in Chi- ¢ago for the purpose of accepting a wage increase they agree to sign a five year contract to repudiate — the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. A, storm of revulsion against such a scheme has swept the porters from Coast to Coast. Even non-Brother hood men are up in arms against what they label as saked and_red- handed intimidation, says A. Philip Randolph, President and General Or- Kaizer. When asked as to what the Bro- therhood was going to do if the port- ers wre forced to sign such a contract, Mr. Randolph observed that the Bro- therhood would contest, nullify and break such a contract in a Court of Law, Such a contract is not worth the paper it is written on, neither par- ty to it is bound to keep it Continuing, Organizer Randolph said, that the porters calld into this conference, were not elected by the porters at large, that the rank and file porters, do not know anything about it and that if the Pullman Com- pany attempts to carry ont any such project it will stir and rouse the righteous indignation of the public against it and give the Porters’ Union a stronger position in the fight, RANDOLPH GOES BEFORE AMERI CAN FEDERATION OF LABOR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL According to reports frem the Nw tional Headquarters, A.

"With in The Law," it will be recalled, was Written by the author of such legiti- mate hits as “The Triel of Mary Du gan” and similar other successes, Evelyn Preer is to havg the role of “Mary Turner,” shop girl in the Em. porium department store, who is un- justly imprisoned on a charge of theft. by the owner of the store. This role has been characterized by such world tamous stars as Jane Cowl and Nor- ma Talmadge. Miss Cowl starred in “Within the Law" for two seasons at the Eltinge Theater, New York,” and Norma Talmadge appeared in the screen version of the play some years ago. “Within the Law” relates the story of Mary Turner's vow to “get even” with the millionaire store owner, after her release from prison, After serving her sentence, Mary organizes a gang of crooks who “pull off" countless daring thefts throughout the city and continue to cleverly evade the police, by always managing to keep “within the law.” About this time Mary meets Richard Gilder, son of the Em- porium’s owner, (Edward Thompson) and sets about making the boy fall in love with her. After he has proposed, the two are married, and the girl then goes in triumph to her former employ- er, and reveals her true identity. The plot takes a sudden surprise turn at this point when she discovers that “the gang.” led by Joe Garson (Law- rence Criner) at robbing the million- zire’s home, Th new Lincoin attraction is one of the Lafayette Players’ most preten- tious presentations, with four acts, and a8 many settings, required to pre- sent all the action of the play. In ad- dition to those mentioned above, the cast includes such favorites as Cleo Desmond, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Laura Bowman, Bebe Townsend, Monte Hawley, Charles Olden and others. LOTS! LOTS! LOTS!

Comes now Prof. Lucien V. Alexie. the principal of McDonogh No. 35 High School in New Orleans, and says all of these enigmas can and will be scientifically explained Prof, Alexis, a graduate of Harvard, has just published a syllabus to Fund- amentals in Physics and in Chemistry in which he puts forward a anew the- ory of the makeup of the physical un- trerse, The syllabus is a pampblet contain- ing in outline what Professor Alexis has written in full in a text book soon to be published. Whether his concepts should prove to be right or wrong, perusal of the syllabus, saasily indicates that his ideas contribute the most startling scientific viewpoint that has been brought forward since the days when Darwin first advanced the theory of biological evolution. In fact, Professor Alexis disputes and wars’ with practically all of the theories upou which the present selences of physics and chemistry are based.

The ethon, he declares, is not mat- ter, yet, it is a particle which resem- bles matter. It is infinitesimally small, unatterable in nature, indestructible. spherical, movable, inelastic, and powerfully magnetic. ‘Some of the most widely accepted theories which the professor disputes are The wavd theory of light, ‘The molecular theory. The electronic theory. The theories of refraction and re- flection.

GENERAL OUTLINE OF WORK 1. Purpose of Work 2. Preparation of Meals— a. Menue b. Linen c. Prepraing the food 3. Serving and Table Setting 4. Notes on Etiquette 5. Cleaning Notes— a. Silverware b. Laundering of Linens c. Woodwork 1 (a) It is the purpose of the Committee to serve a dinner to the club three or four times a year as the club desires. (b) It is the wish of the Supt to give a working outline to the members of the club in order that they may prepare and serve meals in the proper way. 2 (a) Preparation of Meals is the General topic under cooking. In the preparation of a meal, the first thing to consider is the Menu. A well balanced meal is very important and care should be used in selecting dishes. (b) The correct type of linen used is as important as the food—especially if the affair is formal. (c) The dessert should be prepared first, particularly if it is jellied on frozen dessert. Salads should be prepared early, but lettuce should be kept on ice until the time of serving. Be sure that the food is served hot. 3. There are many points to heat in 3. the table when serving and setting the table. For a formal dinner, coffee spoons, ice cream forks, (if necessary) salad forks, and soup spoons, are always used. If these necessities are not available, the dinner should never be called formal. Sharp edge of knives are turned toward the inside. Napkins may be folded diamond, square, or oblong shape. The open edge of the napkin should be at the lower edge of fork. If the salad is a separate course, the plate is placed in the center. If semi-formal, it should be placed at the tip of the dolly. It is nice to have individual salt and pepper shakers. The cocktail is usually on the table before the guests are seated. Doilies are very dainty in the bottom of plates accompanying each cocktail dish. The glass or tumbler is placed at the tip of the knife. Everything is served from the right except where the guests help themselves, then it is served from the left. The centerpiece of a dining room table should be low. Any kind of flowers to taste or color scheme desired. The chairs should not be pushed all the way under the table. The edge should be under the edge of the table. The guests should be seated from the left side. 4. Etiquette is generally based on courtesy to the other. Remove pits and bones from the mouth with fingers. In table manners, be careful at home as well as when out. The teeth should never be picked in public. Salad should never be cut with knife. Napkins should be folded in half on the lap. Soup should be eaten from the side of the spoon. 5. (a) Silver will tarnish a little as the time of use extends, and there by needs plenty of attention as to the care of it. Silver should be washed and dried thoroughly with a soft cloth. Silver polish is very successful, and after polishing should be washed and dried well. Never wrap silver in a bleach cloth or hear rubber, because it causes tarnish. (b) If linen is not well laundered, it will spoil the looks of the table. Warm or hot water is best to sprinkle linens with, and let stand for about one hour. Care should be taken in folding napkins neatly. (c) Woodwork should always be washed in clear, warm water. Just enough amonia should be used to cut grease and soft water. If this is done it will also keep the woodwork, if white, from turning yellow. 5. General Rules of Courtesay: 1. Always be punctual for all engagements. 2. Wait until the hostess is, served and beckoning the meal. 3. A party call is necessary after one has accepted an invitation to a meal. 4. The crossing of knees in this day of the short skirt is not advisable and detracts from one's dignity. 5. One should not accept an invitation from an individual or party of individuals to whom he or she would not extend the same courtesy. If everyone will bear in mind many of the above facts, there will be no need of anyone suffering from embarrassment or humiliation at any time.

MULLINIKS We find six theories as to origin of Cancer, namely, Spermistic Influenza, Mechanical irritation, Embryonic Remnants, Parasitic or infective decreased tissue resistance and trophic nervous disturbance. We only call attention to these to show the diversity of opinion, you may hold to any one which holds your fancy. We had rather not state any opinion of ou rown. But will say clinical experience has shown us cases of many kinds, some seemed applicable to one thyme, some to another. Our idea in writing on the subject is not to give a vast amount of theory but to state a few simple facts which may help someone avoid cancer. One common example is cancer of lip from smoking a pipe if you are a pipe smoker and you get an ulcer on your lip have it looked after at once and either change your kind of pipe or else get your smoke some other way. On this case it is clearly a mechanical irritation. Even the lowly cigarette can form an irritation which results in abnormal growth. They had one such case recently. A patient came in with a growth on lower lip. The only cause we could find was an excessively tender mucous membrane of lips together with cigarettes made from brown paper smoked continuously. We removed the growth and advised use of holder, also treatment to remedy the tenderness of lips. The condition yielded to this treatment but would not had the irritation not been taken away. Old people are frequently advised to not let anyone bother a growth or small lesion on their face. Friends giving such advice are doing so honestly. However, they are honestly mistaken. These growths or lesions form an irritation in one case may lead to a tumorous growth with later infection, the other case a rodent ulcer results which refuses to heal at all, it is well to remember the adage, "An ounce of prevention is better than pound of cure." Especially is this true with cases of deceased or lacerated genetalia of the female. These organs are more likely to form malignant growths than any other in the human body. Questions gladly answered. If question is of such a nature it can't be answered in this column enclose an addressed stamped envelope and we will gladly give you the desired information. The Passing of One of Los Angeles' Most Profound Citizens Saturday Oct. 6, 1928, Junius Hu Stevens, passed into the great beyond. His passing out was a tremendous loss to all who knew him. Junius Stevens' life was that of a leader, from the time of his graduation in 1903, from Tuskegee Institute, until he departed this life. He came to Los Angeles, in 1906. He fitted himself as a religious and social worker, in 1918 the Los Angeles Y. M. C. A. chose him as their leader as a fit worker aamong men. He was also a Secretary in France. He has worker in the W. C. Sunday School for about twenty years. Four years ago he took charge of the young peoples class and later organized as the Nine Thirty Club. With his passing only brings to our memories good deeds done by our friend, husband, father and brother. The family wish to express their thanks, and appreciation to Messers, McCullough, Moses, and Alexander for the beautiful numbers offered. To Rev. Prowd and Rev. Greggs, for the kind words of consolation. Too much credit cannot be given A. J. Roberts and Son for the beautiful way they handled the funeral, through their representative, Mr. I. C. Sanders. Paramount To Film "Cat And Canary" Another local colored player, gets a break. This time it is Oscar Smith, one of our few actual screen actors. He has the highly entertaining role of an elevator operator, or house man in the mysterious dwelling where the baffling murder takes place. It is a scream. It would have been difficult for the casting office to have hound a more capable man for teh part than Oscar Smith. His role cals for plenty of fear. If there is any one in the picture racket that can register this stuff—well, you have him, he can really take it big! Hold tight fellows, plenty of work in the offing. Christmas is coming and we need the breaks. Congratulations, Oscar.

The majority of the actors in the play are colored, with the exception of the lead parts. NATHAN CURRY DID BIG JOB CASTING The biggest portion of the task of selecting the cast of 6 hundred needed to go on location up among the desert scenes of Riverside County fell to the lot of Nautan Curry, the tall well known actor who has filled so many prominent parts during the last few years. A number of other well known actors are filling various parts, among them Nathan Curry, who has already played aa part in this picture with Wallace Berry, Sam Stewart, Virgil Owens, and others.

BY THE MEMBERS OF THE LA PREMIERE CLUB In loving memory of our dear friend Willie Daniel Brooks. Gone but not forgotten. One who during his short span of life upon this earth, found his way into the hearts of all his associates. Willie was a charter member of our club and an outstanding one in all of its activities. He was honest, dependable very conscientious about his duties in the club, and always had a smile for everyone. His passing marks the losing of one who has proven himself to be a loyal, true and faithful friend and comrade, one who was held in the highest esteem by the La Premieres Pleasure Club. But now that the grim spectre of death has taken Willie forever from our midst we can only have faith and trust in the Lord for the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Farewell, farewell dear friend, peace be with thee, blessings crown thee. To the mother, wife and family we condole with you in these your darkest hours and commend you to him that doeth all things well. Rest weary spirit, welcome wanderer home. A loving voice was calling, he has answered "Lord, I've come." RENE' AXridge 3290 BIG SNAP IN PASAL On North Wilson bet valued at $6500, will sacrific dle deal; balance like rent.

A man who has a job has a greater chance, all things be- ing equal, to adjust himself ta his environment and become a self-respecting member of his community. A man who has not a job is subject to.a life of mendicancy with the loss of self- respect which accompanies it. Some immortal has said in sub- stange, give me a fulerum and I will move the earth, We who are economically minded may say in substance, give me a job commensurate with my skill and training and 1 will acquire my own needs. The Community Chest enables the Los Angeles Urban League to maintain a free employment bureau which serves hundreds of employers and employees. For the months of August and September of this year seventy-five men and eighty- two women réceived work through the Urban League Free ‘Employment Bureau. An Industrial Secretary is kept in the field contacting employers in the interest of Negro labor. In- dividuals who are already employed failed to realize that their security in industry depends upon the number of unemployed who drift here and there willing to underbid them in order to receive work themselves. If that number of unemployed be small the chances of workers already employed to remain on the job is more assured. If that number be large, the position ‘of those employed becomes less and less secure. ; The Urban League is one of the many organizations receiv- ing funds from the Community Chest. You may not realize its need or appreciate its efforts; but those hundreds of individuals who are served by it each month will gladly tell you that with- out the League's service to them they might have had to beg ALMS instead of receiving an OPPORTUNITY to fie them- selves into the Industrial scheme of Los Angeles. Your gift to the Community Chest will enable the Urban League to give the RIGHT KEY OF OPPORTUNITY in place of the WRONG KEY OF ALMS. The key of alms can never open the door of Progress. : “Your investment in the Community Chest Fund will help some unemployed man or woman climb the stairs and enter in- to the palatial home of real Economic Progress.

If there is any one thing that is solely affecting the progress of the race, it is the lack of proper leadership. No race or people can keep pace with the rapid progress of this shakeup that is lacking in proper leadership in every sphere of race development. In Education, Business, Industry, Politics and Religion, the race today is woefully lacking in leadership. In each of these fields we have practically no ones that we can point to as an outstanding character whom the masses will trust and follow. There are perhaps two things which largely account for this existing condition. One is that Negros have too often been betrayed by their leaders and the other is that too many incapable of leading want to load. As long as these two conditions exist the Negro will continue to be looked upon as irresponsible and deserving of no serious consideration by those of the other groups. The present chaotic Political situation among Negroes is evidence of this sad plight in which the race finds itself. Some of our race leaders who have been very severe in their denunciation of the Democratic party for its continued opposition to the progress of the race have suddenly turne Democratic for some reason best known to themselves, but certainly not known to the rest of us. ```markdown ``` How any Negro who knows the attitude of the Democratic party to wards the race and the many unfair and unjust in an employed by the party in the South to disfranchise and persecute members of the race can conscientiously vote, the Democratic National ticket is a mystery to me. Can it be that those race leaders do not know that the Democratic party is pledged to work for the disfranchise of the Negro? If they do not know this they only need to ask any real Democrat and he will not fall to tell you that. This is why they leave the solid South and that if it was not for the Negro in Politics, the South would vote the Republican. Therefore they must have the solid South to keep the Negro down. Strange it seems that those who advocate that the Negro vie the Democratic ticket in the coming election seem to have no argument to make in favor of the Democratic party. Of course it is the privilege of any one to vote for whatever they please but is it wise for the Negro to take a chance of losing what we have gained through hard struggles and great sacrifices by going off on a tangent of some wild untried political scheme. If such action only affected the one responsible, that would be different. But the sad fact is that we are all likely to suffer the consequence. The whole affair is something like the story of the dog with the bone crossing the stream. Seeing his shadow in the water and thinking it to be another dog with a bone, dropped the bone which he had and jumped into the water to take the bone from the other dog, which of cours was only imaginary. As a consequence he not only to the bone he had but lost his life also. This is what is likely to happen to the Negro, if in the coming election he foresakes the Republican party to chase the imaginary shadow of economic and political freedom at the hands of the Democratic party. T.E.-JONES CHURCHES Wonderfully inspiring were the services at Grant Chapel, Sunday. It being the Pastor's first Sunday after his return from the Conference. A large congregation attended at both services. At 11 o'clock the Pastor spoke from the subject, "Christianity a Progressive Religion." He spoke of how that Christianity is succeeding other religions and is destined to become a world religion. At the evening service the subject was, "The Overcoming Life." Four came to the alter for special prayer. The choir rendered special selections and the Pastor announced the program of the church for the year. Selection of officers to fill vacancies and a rearrangement of the working forces of the church will be made within the next week. The next session of the Annual Conference will meet at Grant Chapel. The plan is to have the new church ready for Conference which will convene in September, 1929. Next Sunday, the Pastor will preach at both services. Come and enjoy especially welcome. * * * MACEDONIA BAPTISTCHURCH (Rev. L. M. Curtis, Pastor.) Sunday School was fine and many attended.

No. Work has been most fortunate in having this firm handle his work. "The purpose of this Bibliography," the introduction by Aunson Phelps Stokes reads, "is to furnish an accurate and comprehensive handbook of the titles and authors of valuable books, pamphlets and articles from periodical, on the Negro in Africa and America. * * * The author has not tried to include all known printed works on the subjects named. Indeed, he has eliminated more titles than he has included, so that the book is a select reference bibliography on the Nefro with more than 17,000 entries covering the most worthwhile publications in different languages issued before 1928." Mr. Work began publishing bibliographical material in the first Negro Year Book, 1912. In 1921, the Carnegie Corporation made a grant to the Department of Record and Research of Tuskegee, and he was able to go on from this beginning to the comprehensive volume just published. Interest in his work became international, he went to Europe and visited the great libraries of England and the Continent, enlarging especially his titles on Africa and its culture. The number of his titles grew and at length he has given us a reference book that will be known throughout the world. The book is clearly arranged, easy to find one's waf in. There is a Table of Contents and an index of Authors. The Titles are so arranged that the book is itself an index and it is a simple matter to find material on whatever subject one may want. For instance, suppose one wishes to know what has been printed on Negro folk songs. Under the Negro in the United States is the subheading 23. Folk Music in the United States, page 433. Turning to page 433, we find four pages of titles or collections of Negro folk songs. Many of the references are to magazine articles. Some are volumes, as H. T. Burleigh's Natalie Curtis Burlin's. W. C. Handy's. Then come three more-pages of discussion of Negro Folk Songs. It makes one greedy to be in a great library and wade deep in the material. How busy one could keep the reference librarian! The reader in the small city, will have to content himself with only a few of the magazines noted under the headings, for the list of periodicals from which references for the bibliography were taken is very long, 907 titles. Just to see the names carries one all over the world. One appreciates the interest, the craving for more knowledge regarding these dark people from a mysterious Continent, that has actuated the reading world.

There is no perfect city. Not until individuals come closer to approaching perfection not until men become imbued with more of the spirit of co operation and less of the spirit of individualism; not until pri. vate business, not until Nature smiles upon one locality con. tinually, not until climate and atmosphere become a constant instead of a variable, can any city, community, or state make a legitimate claim to perfection. The kenynote of twentieth century city promotion is to combine, to a remarkable degree, the things necessary to at- tract people, namely, a good place to do business and a fine place in which to live. Somewhere in al! America there must be some city that stands out preeminently as the city of friendliness and neigh- borliness—the city that loves to give attention to the little things that make visitors and sojourners desire to return to that city on every possible occasion. Somewhere in all America there is that city with the spirit of thoughtfulness—a city with the love of service developed to as high a degree as anyone any- where might hope for and expect. In thet city there must be evident on every hand a quick- ened public sentiment capable of responding to the desires and the wishes of those who are not favored by fortune or by birth 1o such an extent that they Yeel confident that they can dwell in that city forever and a day. In that city there must be many organizations able and ready to respond to the call of city duty whenever necessary. In that city there must be individualism and initiative sufficiently strong enough to assert itself and yet, when the call for city-wide service presents itself, able and will- ing to turn to good account its individual assets for the good of all. While Los Angeles has by no means reached “the perfect state,” we believe that Los Angeles has the best opportunity to become that city. Los Angeles may not become the biggest city in all America but it is surely growing and its virtues are being heralded by those who happen to pass this way. Long ago when, vegetables were scarce, even in summer, and not to be had at all in winter, the pumpkin was put to extra- ordinarily diversified uses. With it New England housewives made pumpkin bread, now a lost art. And then pumpkin was also used in the making of beer, custards, molasses, vinegar and pies. Small wonder the early New Englanders, as it is re- lated in Peters General History of Connecticut, considered the pumphin “one of the greatest blessings and held very sacred in New England.” Since earlfest Colonial days the pumpkin has been the homely symbol in America of that season of mellow fruitful- ness that separates summer fronf winter, Although its name is of French origin the pumpkin has become an institution typic- ally American. The etymology of the word can be traced from the French pompon in use before the colonization of America, through the stages of popion and pumpion to pumpkin, And except in print and among precise speakers one today will én- counter the colloquial “pumpkin” oftener than the literary “pumpkin.” This generation has known the pumpkin more as a symbol of the harvest season than as the vegetable of all uses. Pump- kin is still popular, and not only because it is a substitute for what the Puritan Blue Laws styled “Anti-Christian minced pies,” but other than that their only use is for Hallowe'en jack o’ lanterns and dairy fodder. Every year the production ex- ceeds the consumption in spite of the discovery by some that the pumpkin can be used to advantage by those who find themselves between the eighteenth amendment and the boot- leggers. Christopher Columbus set out to prove that the world was round. The practical result of his voyage of discovery was to be a shorter route to the riches of India. Incidentally he bump- ed against the shores of an unknown continent and discovered America which had likewise been discovered some 500 years previous by the Norsemen. We honor the name of Columbus not merely because he proved his contention that the world was round, but. because Columbus was undoubtedly one of the greatest men of his era. A voyage of adventure in the year 1000 is not quite the same thing as a voyage of discovery in the year 1492, Colum- bus proved he was right in the face of tremendous opposition, stupendous reversals and unsparing ridicule. He displayed that which is rare in any age of man, namely, resolute purpose and a skillful control of opportunity. No other navigator of his time had his daring vision and his courage to hold to it. Columbus gets the prize of world acclaim because he dar- ed to do what others only dared to think. He was a dreamer and a man of action. He set sail with a superstitious, mutineer- ing crew. He was not lucky. His triumph was not a matter of chance. He was a man of one idea—that the earth was round and by sailing west one could reach the east. This revolutionary idea made nim enemies everywhere. His rivals took his charts and secretly tried out his theories, but lost their nerve ond came back to scoff at him. Columbus was ten years in finding somebody to gamble on his dreams. He was as real a scientist as that age produced. He was a pronhet who earned the prophet’s usual reward of kicks and bruises. He found a world. He gave that world its grandest motto: “On! Sail on.” It is far more important for our people to develop them- selves along the line of production, than it is to go. into any tandrum about political questions which confront the country at this time. Truly we should be alert to all passing issues and register our opinion at the ballot box, remembering at all time, only as we become producers will it be possible to take our proper place in the realm of political endeavor. Is it not ap- parent that unless we produce, we shall never be in a position to contribute to the success of any political cause in any telling manner. We have in mind right at our door a wonderful organiza- tion which offers emazing opportunities and would put our people way to the forefront along the line of production and to get somewhere and thig concern is none other than the Heflin Manufacturing Company. This institution has everything to work with; a plant second to no other, and with just a reason- able support this company can produce in caskets alone, enough product to gross twenty-five to thirty thousand dollars monthly thereby, employing scores of workmen, many boy and girls, We can see no good reason why every Negro Undertak- er should not be a firm supporter as well as patron of a propo- sition like this, Thus far their patronage has come from the opposite group. The firm has and is selling and satisfying the very best Undertakers in this section. Therefore we ask our Undertakers if they fail to appreciate products furnished by : therefor? 7 the races the rave line of production for it is our only salvation.

Heferlin says in Georgia, “If the Governor of New York is elected president there will be w reign of ‘Negro Soci: Equality.’"" Whatever that is, Mr. Heferlin does not explain. But he does say that the Governor of New York advocates in- termarriage and some mére “iommy rot.” If Mr. Heferlin and Senator Simmons were wise they would eschew sueh language It might influence the thousands of Negro voters who hold the balance of power in the states of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Mlinois, to seteet Smith xs their choice for president, It's a frreat contest; with the Baptist preachers—some of them— Mabel Willebrandt, and the Heterlins and Simmons's trying their level best to defeat the ends of Hoover supporters ‘and elect Smith. By making overtures to the South in order to break its solidity, we fear that the Republican party will be the loser at both ends, Oh for a little politics mixed with com- mon sense. David Brown, an American Negro was given his freedom recently from Belem prison in Mexico. He had served thirteen years for having been a member of the “automobile band” which, under president Victoriana Huerta seen that persons who had earned his enmity, The Carranza government prose- cuted the band and Brown teceived a sentence of twenty years on one count and nine on another. The time off was for good conduct while in prison. He became quite proficient as a me- chanic while in prison and was a trusty. The Mexican govern- ment has given him a place in the detective service. Brown's value in that position consists in having mingled annually with the hosts of Belem prisoners which during his term amounted probably to 150 or 200,000. . 4 Remember what we have always advised about taking up farming land? It looks as if we are going to sleep and will wake up when you sing the old, old song, of how I wish I had of, but it's now too late. According to the Rev. Stanislaus Pray- bysz, pastor of a Polish congregation, San Francisco, he has ac- juired 20,000 acres of land in Stanislaus county and is looking for more within the radius of 100 miles of San Francisco. Two prelates of the Polsh church will come to thi¥ country , next :pring to dedicate the new project. -The new settlement is to become the nucleus of ¢ city to be named San-Stanislaus. It will be a tragedy if the Negro farmer doesn’t get a foot-hold on the land before it is all taken up. I reiterate statements made before, “That if the preachers in the cities would be less selfish and try to divert some of the money used n the building of $200,000 churches into channels of productiveness, this Race vould be better equipped to fight the battles against proscrip- tion and its attendant evils.” : In the last fiscal year $23.756.000 worth of liouor. whisky ind malt liquors, have been exported from the Dominion of "anada and found the way nto the United States. Land of Prohibition, The figures were gathered from the Canadian De- artment of Trade and Commerce, $18,380.000 of the amount ‘epresents the sale of whisky, $5,375,000 the export of malt iquor. These figures were made public. It is charged that nuch-liauor ostensibly is directed to other countries, but some- 10 or other finds tts way nto the United States. Oh yes, “Pro- libition is a noble experiment.!” The experiment is costing the axpaver. a pretty sum. Which would not be so bad if there vas th eleast semblance of any beneficial result.

Strange things happen in Chica- go politics. ; | Cr r Say follews, what do you think of this? By a four to three decision of the State Supreme Court, if your wife goes into busi- ness and fails, hubby is liable for her debts. In the decision no- thing was said about the wife sharing in the failures of the hus- band, but the prevailing decisiop was based on the doctrine of community property which gives the husband the right to pay his debts therefrom. The dictum is rather a revolutionary one and caused the dissension of three justices. Among those who disagreed with the verdict was Chief Justice William H. Waste jand Associate Justices William H. Langdon and J. W. Shenk. \Four of the Justices held: That if the community property was |benefitted by profits of a business venture undertaken by the |wife it assumes the burden of possible loss and must pay such losses. The husband as head of the community property, is ‘therefore held responsible for business debts incurred by his wife. The dissenting Justices pointed out that the husband had no control over his wife's business activities and that it was far-reaching and inequitable to establish a legal rule that he is. so bound. The case decided was a suit brought in Los Angeles. by ai butcher's firm for $7,912 for meat delivered to a restaur- ant conducted under a partnership agreement. Mrs. Elizabeth | Russel being one of the partners, The husband Rufus Russell was made a party to-the suit, although he was not a member of the firm.

The banquet had originally been set for 200, but when it was learned that the doughty champion of the Dam project was to be the speaker resorvations came pouring in, and it could have been one thousand mor had there been the room. In his characteristic manner the Senator told of the struggle with the power trust. He said: “Sitting in Wash- ington is a committee representing seventeen billion of dollars, that is waiting to block the proposition.” It is something of 4 pleasure to fight a combination that represents $17,000,000,000, There will be something of a satisfaction to take from them the influence they are using, and win for the. people of Califor- nia, or the people ofthe three states interested, this great pro- ject the San Francisco Bay Bridge.” Culifornia’ can well afford | to trust her interest in the capable hands of the Senator and San Francisco's “Bridge The Bay” has no. greater champion than UNITED STATES SENAOR, HIRAM W.

The Supreme Court of the State of California, sitting in bane, received a part of this year's group of successful ap- plicants into the bar of © the commonwealth. There were one hundred and fifty-eight candidates present. Of that number, three were Black Am- ericans—John Manning, — Er- skine Ragland, and Leon Whit- aker. : ‘The clear, inspiring voice of Chief Justice Waste was indic- ative of the voice of Justice it- self. The words, touching up- on the relation of an attorney to the people, the importance of the lawyer's calling, and the role that he plays in the aa justment of human rights, were full of hope and of encourage- ment. The dignified, conser- vative, and even oracle-like pronouncements of Justice Richards, as to the ethics of the legal profession. the rules that govern the relations of lawyer and client, lawyer and court, and lawyer and public, were as a weighty and mighty, sermon in their power and in their profundity. Each word was emblazoned upon the mind of every newly admitted member of the bar in symbols never to be erased, and to be rekindled as a guiding beacon when temptation should beset the path of rectitude. When Mr. Larrabee of the Los Angeles Bar offered the cordial welcome in behalf of the Los Angeles Bar Associa- tion and extended. the hand of helpfui fellowship to all, even the sensitive were encoufaged. But. the atmosphere was torn asunder and rendered stifling by the emphasized conscious- ness that the welcome was not intended for those of African descent, and that that auxiliary organ in the administration of justice, which now plays so vi- tal a part in the selection of our judiciarv, has gone on rec- ord as wanting no Negro mem- bers. The emphasis was given vitality by the studious with- holding of application blanks from the darker members pres- ent. No one would care a snap of the fingers for such action were it not for the fact that lo-| cal bar associations very near- ly, if not actually, choose gov- ernment’s high priests, put out. literature encouraging the elec- tion of certain judges, influence | the bench by their member- ship, and essav to be only con- cerned with “Justice.” When organizations that are thus powerful allow membership on the basis of color, minority groups may beware, discount Fridey, October 12, 1928 ‘protestations of justice and fairness, and cure themselves of frivolous hopes of equality.

MEUSEL AND LAZANI EXPECTED Working hard all summer to perfect a lineup of teams for the present season that will surpass all preceding winter leagues, Joe Pirrone, the father of Winter baseball and joint owner with his brother John of White Sox Park is all ready for the opening gong. Saturday at 2:15. BILL BOYKIN MANAGING COLORED TEAM The well-known baseball impressario of Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, Bill Boykin, has been working equally as hard selecting crack players from the Cleveland Stars and Hilldale Giants to make the Cleveland Stars of the Winter League. With Muesel and Lazarri expected in the lineup Pirone's All-Stars will meet the Cleveland Giants, Saturday and Sunday at the White Sox Park in the opening games of the season. A powerful array of diamond start in both major and minor leagues have been lined up by the four clubs of the circuit. Shell Oil and White King Soap have also been granted franchise in the league. ROGAN, OLD FAVORITE, HERE A number of new colored stars have been imported by Boykin with his Colored Cleveland Stars, picked from the Colored National League. Pullen and Mackie, catchers: Rogan, Foster, Gardener and Brewer, pitchers: Day, Wells Suttler and Allen, infelders; Dixon, Stearns and Motthell, outfielders, will comprise the Cleveland team. Suttler is known as the "Habe Ruth" of the Colored circuit. He hit 56 home runs this past season. Record crowds are anticipated for the opening games Saturday and Sunday at the Sox park. Thirty-eighth and Hooper avenue. Winter league contests will be staged each week at the park, it was announced. For the opening game of the season, Pirrone has signed seven American association stars to combine with his coast league players. He is anling for several major league stars to bolster his lineup.

EDITED BY HARRY LEVETTE LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1928 All-Colored Cast Film At Rosebud Theatre Draws Tremendous Door Receipts CRITICS, CYNICS, RACE ENTHUSIASTS AND ORDINARY COURIOSITY SEEKERS THRONG LOCAL THEATRE TO VIEW WESTERN PREMIER OF "A PRINCE OF HIS RACE." Well, we've waited a long time; at last we have seen it! And what, did we see. And were we favorably impressed. All of those questions seem to crowd my mind. I feel that I should scream! We stood outside the Rose Bud Theatre night after night, watching the milling crowds swarming the ticket office to see this picture—the first showing in the West of a real first-class all colored cast motion picture drama. It was truly impressive Now, that's alright for that. But, we who are interested in the future of the black man in pictures, from an economic point of view, found ample reasons for disappointment. From that point of view we are inclined to believe that the picture was a flop. From this standpoint of satisfaction to a race audience the thing was great. It had all of the necessary appeal to race sentiment and pride, but, a race audience won't support many eight reel pictures. Why producers of our group or any other group, attempt to make an all colored picture, they should first consider the saleable qualities of the people they are filming. Here, the biggest thing that our group has to sell to the theatrical world was entirely overlooked. Humor! There was absolutely none. We only saw, just another picture. No different than any others of far better grade played by white actors. That's their stuff. The only noticeable thing that was done here was to substitute colored actors for white ones, in an ordinary story! My! What are the producers thinking about? They must think that the American theatre public, must be a bunch of Paddys. The making of this picture was to our way of thinking, a complete flop. Why wasn't that money used to film some of that tremendous wealth of humor, that the black man possesses and the American public clamors to see? Not only that, but a picture filled with Negro humor has a wonderful appeal to the white Southerner as well as our own folk. Lets drop sentiment and accept the true facts. We know that people are not appearing their health. They're getting real on the stage, or before the screen, for money for that. Now you see this is a cold game of dollars and cents. Now, again, producers are not going to expend large sums of money making pictures for sentiment. They're They're after making "bucks" and plenty of them. That's why there were present at the showing of this picture many impressorior from major studios who are planning making colored pictures. They were plainly disgusted. Humor is the thing the public demands, and that's what they intend to give it. That's that.

Sullivan, 28, of 7448 Mississippi street, on the head with a street car screen, while James Edwards, 25, of 1006 Gird street, the third man punched the other two, according to police. All three were charged with assault and battery. They had been playing dice on the river front, and were still arguing when they boarded the street car, police said. Jackson showed good fight from start to finish, but his opponent had to be shown to his corner at times during the eight rounds. Jackson failed to knock him out and was given a draw by the referee, who got the boo hoo from the spectators. Other fights: Goldie Hess won over Jimmie Black, 8 rounds; Oscar Rankint and J. W.

The inquiry, addressed to Dwight F. Davis, Secretary of War, by Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, continues: "I wish respectfully to inquire of the War Department if there is any ruling which would thus debar a Negro from securing an air pilot's license, especially when that Negro is an American citizen and is serving a friendly nation so largely influenced by the United States Government NS TENNIS CHATTER ALPHA TENNIS CLUB OPENS ROUND KOBIN TOURNEY Round Robin Tournament given by the Alpha Tennis Club, Sunday, October 14th at the Jefferson High School court.

RAIL MEDIATION MEET RESUMES Efforts of President, Coolidge's mediation board to avert a threatened strike of 70,000 trainmen were resumed here today with trainmen scheduled to give additional testimony regarding their alleged grievances. The railroads will not present t heir side of the controversy until after the unions have finished, it was announced by Kenneth F. Burgess, attorney for the general managers conference committee of western railroads. Evidence offered yesterday to show that trainmen employed by 55 western roads were underpaid in comparison with those in the east and south. This claim was challenged by Burgess, who told the board that the unions had failed to consider the fact that several western railroads had scales over the standard rate and the fact that increased wages were in effect on many roads through increased speed of train operations. GIVING THEM THE LIE! Enemies of the Brotherhood are circulating propaganda to the effect that the American Federation of Labor has turned down the Brotherhood, and won't permit it to join the Federation. This is NOT TRUE. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters could have joined the Federation long ago. But it is a term of joining that causes the Brotherhood, of its motion, to refrain from joining the Federation, and by no means any direct refusal on the part of the Federation. When the Brotherhood obtains the concession that it is requesting, it will be received with open arms; and anyone who says that the Federation has refused the B. S. C. P. is in simple error or lying; for the Brotherhood is doing the holding out and not the Federation. LABOR CHIEF RETURNS FROM THE NORTH Mr. Clarence R. Johnson, financial secretary and grievance chief of the dining car cooks and waiters Local No. 582, returned Saturday from San Francisco Mr. Johnson conferred with the legislative body of the Biz Four along lines of securing agreements with certain specific clauses protecting only the bonafied members of our organization. An application to the board of mediators to assign mediator to take up the case of the Local was filed by Mr. Johnson. A letter was drafted by Mr. McFartland and Mr. Johnson and sent to Donald Richberg, co-author of the Watson-Parker measure. Mr. Johnson put the finis in his trip by paying a visit to Republican headquarters in the Palace Hotel and conferred along certain legislative problems affecting railway employees. PORTERS IN REVOLT AGAINST COMPANY EMPLOYEE PLAN. According to P. M. Webster, organizer of the strong Chicago division, the balloting by the Pullman porters on representation, wages and working rules is retching amazing heights in interest and enthusiasm. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is giving the porters and maids an opportunity, without intimidation or coercion, to indicate their attitude towards the afore-mentioned demands, in an election through a Questionaire Ballot issued by the porters' Union. Messrs. A. L. Totten, E. J. Bradley, Bennie Smith, Dad Moore, George S. Grant, S. E. Grain, S. M. Tailor, of Kansas City, St. Louis, Detroit, Oakland, Los Angeles, Washington and Boston respectively, confirm the statement of Organizer Webster as to the exceptional interest which is manifest on the part of the porters in the Brotherhood elections. The ballot of the Broth- rhood provides an opportunity, contrary to the ballot of the Pullman company, for the porters choose between the Union and the Employee Representation Plan, says A. Philip Randolph, president and general organizer. In the elections conducted by the Pullman company for its Company Union, the Employee' Representation Plan, not only is there no opportunity or provision afforded to the porters to express their choice as between the company Union and the porters' Union, but the porters are systematically intimidated into voting for the Employee Plan of the company, says the porters' chief. 5 DAY ESCROWS SECURITY TITLE CO 145 North Broadway Opposite Hall of Records.

From the reports of the Brotherhood division, the porters are expressing their preference for the Brotherhood, a bonified organization, as against the Plan, in no uncertain and unmistakable terms, observed the porters' Union leader. This balloting by the porters ought to set at rest once and for all any question as to the desire of the porters for the Brotherhood, continued Mr. Randolph. Porters are balloting also on wages and working rules. They are given an opportunity to indicate whether they are content with the present whether they desireETAprstrsTHHH wage of $72.50 a month, or whether they want the Brotherhood demand of $150 a month minimum, or whether they desire any other minimum wage. Free opportunity is given them to indicate their preference. On working rules the ballot afford an opportunity to all porters to register their desire for either the 11,000 mileage baisis of the work-month on the 240-hour work-month. Since considerable controversy has ranged around this question of an hourage or mileage work-month, the Brotherhood has given an opportunity to the porters clearly to indicate at this stage of the fight of the Union which basis of work computation they prefer, said Organiser Randolph. In the next few weeks the Pullman company will conduct the elections for the Employee Representation Plan during which time porters are forced to vote for the Plan when they haven't the manhood to refuse, and they are also forced to accept in the wage conference of the company the wage and wring rule terms which the company presents them, say Bennie Smith. A. L. Totten, and Roy Lancaster, former officials of the Employee Plan of the company Organizer Randolph says that Brotherhood men will not vote in the Employee Plan elections.
