1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 VOLUME 42 LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1928 No. 25 MOB THREATENS WALTER GORDON, Sr. THE WOLF PACK MOB --- Walter L. Gordon, Sr., prominent real dealer, with offices on Central Ave., near 36th street; who resides on Monterey Drive, just off Huntington Drive, was the near victim of a mob on last Tuesday evening when a motley host of about 50 of his immediate neighborhood gathered upon his premises and called him out and demanded to know why he had sold his very own property to another person of color. And did he not know that he was living in a white neighborhood which would not stand for this sort of action on his part, where he would sell property where colored citizens could live, breathe the air and enjoy the sunshine. Gordon listened to this speech and when they finished what he said to them would not look well in print. Suffice to say Gordon and his wife stood their ground unafraid they faced the cowardly wolf pack and forced them off their land. Be it known that Walter Gordon will stand his ground, for it was just 18 months ago when things would have looked bad for other than whites to live in the sunshine of beautiful California, had this man not stood the test and put the Klan to flight. In this particular instance on last Tuesday, Gordon sold a lot to Prof. W. E. Eason, principal of the Furlong Tract School, and Mr. Eason is erecting thereon a $2000.00 residence, and this is what roused the ire of the Red Necks, and hazel brigade, which descended upon Mr. Gordon. As a matter of fact, Fason far excels any of the conflation of those would-be American citizens in loyalty, patriotism, education and culture. However, blind race hatred, intolerance and petty prejudice overrides common decency, law, order violates every semblance of democracy. Shame on the boasted civilization which countenances such wolves in sheeps' clothing. They are a foul plot on the escutcheon of any country. Miss Pauline Jones' Mother Passes MRS. MARY L. JONES the mother of Miss Pauline Jones, the well-known and popular local entertainer, passed away at her home. 1021 E. 25th St. Tuesday, Nov. 20th at 2:00 P. M. after an extended illness. The funeral services will be held from the Independent, Church on Tuesday the 27th inst, at 2 P. M. The body is in charge of Conner-Johnson Undertaking Co. "I Will Serve My Constituency," Says Congressman Elect Oscar DePriest (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, IL, Nov. 20. The election of Oscar DePriest as congressman from the first congressional district of Illinois will bring about the first Negro congressman since 1901, when George H. White of South Carolina was a member, of that august body. Negro voters here Tuesday signified that they desired representation in congress by giving Mr. DePriest a majority of slightly more than 4,000 votes. The first congressional district is Illinois' wealthiest of the state comprising the loop business area of the city, with its large hotels, banks, and department stores. In addition to the honor of representing 12,000 people in congress, Mr. DePriest will also be the representative of perhaps the country's wealthiest district other than Wall Street. In response to request from the Associated Negro Press, Hon. Oscar DePriest, Congressman-elect, from the last district of Illinois, gave out the following interview. "My election to a seat in the next Congress is by no means considered a personal victory. The distinction coming to me is a Victory for the Negro race as it is in keeping with our great democracy. The United States Congress has been lacking for 27 years in that the Negro was the only group of our vast population not represented in that august body. While our forefathers long ago enunciated the principle that taxation without representation was tyranny, never-less 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 loyal American citizens have been without representation in our national law-making body. Twenty-seven years ago the honorable George H. White of South Carolina sang his swan song. In his last speech he said, "I go, but I shall return". His prophecy seems about to be fulfilled. "I was confident of my election, but also saw te dangers of a multiplicity of candidates from my district, to the possible end that all would be defeated and the race miss the opportunity and be deprived of this important and coveted post." "It shall be my endeavor to thoroughly acquaint myself on matters pertaining to Congress and labor to respond to the peculiar demands that will undoubtedly be made upon one in such an office. The first district of Illinois is a most important one, comprising the financial district of the great City of Chicago. I shall be keenly mindful of the fact that my constituents are many and varied, just as are their interests. My aim will be to serve all to the best of my ability and increasingly so as I become more and more familiar with the work of Congress. "Most grateful am I for the congratulations and good wishes reaching me each day, all of which impress me with the responsibility and the opportunity for service." An analysis of the vote in the first congressional district shows that white voters who had formerly supported the late Congressman Martin B. Madden, threw their support behind Harry D. Baker, a democrat and a white man who was according to reports an electrician and former associate of the owners of Chicago's "Black and Tan" cabarets. This fact has been a lesson to Chicago voters of the so-called black belt that they must stand together. A split vote came near depriving the Negro of representation in Congress. Revised figures on the election of Congressman-elect Dr. Priest are as follows: Oscar Dr. Priest, regular Republican, 24.545; William Harrison, independent, 5.622; Henry Baker, democrat, 20.203. Broady Shoots With Fatal Results as Man Attempts to Shoot Him, Saturday The neighborhood around 50th St. between central avenue and Paloma street was the scene of a most spectacular shooting on last Saturday evening, which resulted in the killing of N. B. Keith, a cook, 29 years of age. About 7:30 Keith engaged in a quarrel with one Mabel Vanderbilt, supposedly his mistress, and after beating her up took several shots of her. Detective Lieut. Charles S. Broady who lives nearby the number where the shooting was in progress, 1488 E. 50th St., quickly ran to the number to investigate in his capacity as an officer. As good as the Keith fell about it, he pulled the trigger on Broady snapping his gun several times. It hung fire, Keith then broke and ran. Broady pursued him commanding him into halt. He overtook Keith with one leg over the fence of the back yard. Broady grabbed the other one. Keith clubbed Broady with the butt of his gun and again snapped his gun. Broady then fired one shot striking Keith in the stomach. The ambulance was called and Keith was taken to the Hospital and died the following day. Broady has been exonerated and praised for his good work in the premises. Cal. Clergyman's Wife On Cercert Tour Mrs. Lillian Jeta Davis, wife of Rev. T. M. Davis of Oakland has just completed a two months' stay in the different large cities of Texas and Oklahoma and is now on her way to New York City and Newport, R. L., where she will visit relatives and friends. Mrs. Davis is accompanied by her beautiful daughter, Marion. They will join Mrs. Davis' parents at Newport during the holiday season in the celebratin of their 50th wedding anniversary. Employer's Liability Case Adjourned Until Tuesday The case against Mrs. Bessie Malthary for bringing 16-year old Hattie Jenkins from one state to another and refusing the child a living wage was heard before Deputy Labor Commission, C. F. Lowry last Tuesday; the woman was found responsible for the child being here. The cast was continued until next Tuesday for final disposition. Dr. H. C. Hudson Chosen At the closing scene of the late Clayton R. Rogers, who was instructor of Y. M. C. A. a salesmanship and public speaking classes for the past eight years, Dr. H. C. Hudson who had been his pupil was selected from among his legion of friends to preside and speak at the Memorial] service. Tuesday, Nov. 29th. Mr. Rogers who was knwn and greatly admired in all "Y" circles of this city and state; while seated at his desk Thursday, Nov. 18th, without any warning answered the call of death. JOHN H. BURKE After an illness of just one year's duration, R. H. Hicks, well-known and popular pioneer citizen passed away at the General Hospital on last Monday. Mr. Hicks had been a resident of Los Angeles for thirty years and had the respect of the entire community as an upright citizen. He was one of the Founders of Golden West Lodge No. 86. I. B. P. O. E. of W. and had received the highest honors which this great organization could render unto him. He was a Past Exalted Ruler; Past Deputy; served four terms as treasurer; represented his lodge at the national gathering several terms and in fact was one of its outstanding members. Mr. Hicks was born in Washington, D. C., 1867, married in 1922 to Mrs. Anna Elgin whom he leaves with his fraternity and a host of friends to mourn his loss. He was a devoted member of Hamilton M. E. Church from which place his funeral service will be held Saturday at 2 P. M., Smith and Williams having charge of the body. The services will be in charge of Golden West Lodge, No. 86. I. B. P. O. E. of W. The Fellowship of Reconciliation Hear Samoan Chieftain Monday evening at 6:30 P. M., a goodly number of representatives of both white and black groups sat down to dinner at the Artillard Club rooms where they listened to a very pleasing program mostly speeches. The meeting was presided over by Ethelwyn Mills, Secretary of the organization. According to arrangement Atty. Leon Whitaker seems to have been first and foremost speaker, and he was introduced by Mrs. A. C. Richardson who covered herself with glory when she came forward announcing that she was always proud to represent her group on such occasions. Young Whitaker who has but recently taken his place long side of Los Angeles' leading barristers is both eloquent and logical in his manner of delivery and unique style of stating facts and on this occasion did not depart from his newly established reputation. He not only introduced the little Samboan cleftain, but was his gibraltar at times when his English wear bad, in the face of a shower of By WILLIAM PICKENS For The Associated Negro Press Democrats win big victory! in Arkansas, Arkansas is exactly the proper atmosphere for the Democratic Party. Let them have it! The best sense ever shown by the rank and file of the Negro voters was to contribute to this smashing defeat of that deadly combination of Tammany and the Bourbon South. For colored people, Tammany is tolerable in New York, as tolerable for them as for the white people, but a combination of Tammany and Bourbonism in Washington would have been destructive to the Negro's interests. Just think of it: Tammany plus Mississippi—a union of arch trickery with ancient hate. Tammany put a pile of money into this campaign. The money persuaded a few Negro leaders but utterly failed to get the vote of the rank and file. All the dirtiest tricks were used; in one community where we went to hold meeting, the Democrats had bought out the whole theatre and let the people in free to the regular show, to detract from attendance at the meeting which we were to address. They couldn't out-argue us, so they decided to foul us. They got their dues, however—for that very city in New Jersey rolled over a flood against the Democratic Candidates. Put in Arkansas and Mississippi and other Moronic Empires, Hurrah for the Democrats! Ovation Given Young Colored Girl (By The Associated Negro Press) The big sensation of the political campaign in Boston has been the appearance on the scene of Miss Gretta McRae, Miss McRae, young and intelligent, shender of figure, brown and most attractive in face and manner, appeared almost unheralded th day before election, straight from Washington, D. C., where she had just resigned as a stenographer in the General Law office of the Department of the Interior. This charming young woman, stinging under the implications of the segregation to which she had been subjected, had given up her job rather than remain in the storage room where she had been placed there after having served for several years in the regular stenographic part. On coming to Boston, late as it was in the campaign, she was seized by the Democrats and put upon the platform at the last great noon rally of the party. Then in the dining room of the famous old Young's Hotel, Miss McRae spoke to an audience (counting those who listened in on the amplifiers) of approximately three thousand—an audience that wildly cheered and applauded her for her courage, and many of whom endeavored to express their sympathy after the meeting, by embracing her. The incididunt is thought impelling and epohal—one of those saintantous unplanned events which reveal and open up new leav Miss McRae has made an entry and cannot retrace her jobs. It is wothwhile to wait. The effect of the brave effort I have made the girl is going to be far-reaching and of great consequence to the tree. questions poured upon him by persons in the audience. Mr. Tutche's party, consisting of eight other chieftains, all from the South Seas, are on a mission to Washington to make certain requests of the government Unassuming but with a peculiar sort of determination William J. Powell who, while he has not so stated, is head of the Bessie Coleman Aero Club of this city. Mr. Powell visited the office of this journal not seeking publicity, but merely looking over since he is a new comer. He was presented as an air pilot, but he refused to be so labeled stating that he was not such, but was training for that particular post, which fact accounted for his presence in Los Angeles, California. And reluctantly he stated the facts in his case. "I am from Chicago. I have tried to get in schools of training in the Eastern cities but was Refused acceptance, hence I turned my face Westward and found an open door here in Los Angeles." And in order to give the public first hand knowledge of the true status of affairs concerning our true position in the science of mastering the air we are publishing some facts furnished Mr. Powell by the government: "The California Eagle" "841 Central Ave." "Los Angeles, Calif." "Los Angeles, CA: Enclosed find a photostatic copy of a letter from the Dept. of Commerce, which depicts a situation that I am quite sure you are not aware of. The letter speaks for itself—there is not one single Negro in America who holds a Commercial Pilot's License, although the Dept. plainly states that there is nothing in the regulations which will prohibit him from holding one if he is so qualified." "DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE" "Office of the Assistant Secretary for Aeronautics" "Washington "Attention: William J. Powell "Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of November 3. "This Department is not in a posi- tion to recomment flying instructors. The reason for such policy is obvious. "At this time we are not aware of any Negro who holds a commercial pilot's license. "There is, of course, nothing in the Air Commerce Regulations which would prohibit the holding of such license. On The Sidewalk By: C.A. B. Where case is worshipped—duty dimly known. And old folks bless us, and dear children play; For these; O Lord, our thanks! Robert Bridges. EVERY MAN who is armed with polite English and a good line of argument is not always an honest man on the other hand the man who is meek and lowly in his attitude of mind is more often the better of the two characters. LOS ANGELES seems to be a fertile field for petty graffits. They come on go at will. Bring nothing into the city and state with them, but unofficial advice for those who through hardship have accomplished something, but leave owing every person whose confidence they have been able to win. SOMEONE should tell the Rev. Mr. Robert (Bob) Shuler that the election is over and that what we want now is greater prosperity. It seems that he has the habit and just can't resist the temptation of hammering on the defected candidate Gov. Alfred E. Smith—I wonder if he doesn't know that it is bad taste to hit a man when he is down—the thing that seems to offend the Rev. "Bob" is the statement made by Gov. Smith in his closing speech in which he said that the Democratic Party would hencewith be known as the Liberal Party. This just can't be, says the fighter parson, the South will never stand for it. Of course we of the darker shades of Uncle Sam's heterogeneous family realize very clearly what is troubling Rev. Shuler, for he, like many others, believe that the Negro has a place; and so long as he stays in that place he is a good fellow; but the moment he catches the vision that has made other men and nations great, and begins to aspire he becomes dangerous. Fear is the most dangerous disease known among men. Fear is the mother of anguish. The seed of deception, and fit soil for the early development of hate, malice and superstition. When this creeping disease starts its entry into our system, if we could but say in the language of the same writer: "Oh for a faith that will not shrink though pressed by every foe—That will not tremble on the brink of any earthly foe." Then faith is the only antidote for fear, and with faith comes confidence which are the essential elements needed in the Blace Race. WHEN we get confidence in one another then we will be able to unite our forces and demand the respect due us as a racial contingent of the American commonwealth. A few days ago we learned that the Y, M. C. A. or this city had made it possible for the Japanese young men to become a part of the Hollenbeck branch of the Y. M. C. A. and thus said the heads of this world wide religious institution through this arrangement we shall be able to curtail expense. According to this arrangement whites and Japanese young men will have immediate contact. This looks like, that after all, it is not so much the color of the skin, but the power behind the skin that the white man fears. Recently, we can't help but notice, how kindly considerate the American white man has been of the "Jap"—Yes, you may incorporate under the laws of the State of California, and how you may become members of the Y. M. C. A. enjoying equal rights and privileges with us. Perhaps as a group we make too much noise about our rights and privileges. As a matter of fact we make too much noise about everything. Constantly aliring our accomplishments and wasting entirely too much time mimicking others. We have no race ideals, or confences we are bound to respect. If some members of the recce steps out of the straight and narrow political path prescribed by us we immediately notify our white owners that we have a dangerous Negro in our midst, and we do even more than this, we take it upon ourselves to assassinate him or her in a business, would or religious way as far as our power expands. We can tolerate everything from the other fellow but nothing from each other. If we could lose sight of skin elements and get down to the real root of the disease that affects our citizenship rights we would begin to come in for sooner consideration. SPRT PAGE CALIFORNIA EAGLE TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES Baby Joe Gans In The Lime Light VOLUME 42 BABY GANS DEC. 11TH Matchmaker Hayden Wadhams of the Olympic Auditorium has three tensive dates in view for December matches. He plans to stage Baby Joe Gans against Charley Rosen, December 11. Bud Taylor vs. the winner of the Francisco-Nationalista match, on December 18th. Rene DeVos or Ace Hudkins against the winner of last night's Anderson-Willis boat, on December 27th. Sammy Mandell and Eddie Kane will be due the coast soon. They may not do any boxing. This would be a good spot for a Mandell-Ebay Joe Gans championship match. The West has following the triumphs of Gans in the East with interest. The operatives say Baby Joe didn't lose to Glick the other night. The cases of Gans and Jimmy McLarnin are somewhat parallel. Both were going out with the tide in California only to hite their real strides in the'East. The two boys have had the thrill of packing the world's biggest boxing palace—Madison Square Garden. Vic Alexander and Young Ford Fought At 108 In Shade Vic Alexander and Young Ford Fought At 108 In Shade Boxers who dance and powder puff through 10 rounds of main events at local clubs with a flock of seconds furnishing them valet attention, with running water, comfortable seats in a closed in arena, would have had their ambition tested if they bad come through some, of the experiences which fell to the lot of Vic Alexander, Young Ford and other pugilists who came along in the 20-round days of California. ```markdown ``` Ford and Vic fought four times over the long route but one of those meetings will never be forgotten by them. They fought at Mexicali, Mexico in the bull-ring when the thermometer stood at 108 in the shade. This must have made the heat in that ring about 116 but for 20 gruelling rounds they stood toe to toe and slugged it out to a draw. The Mexican fans used to bull fights called for more and blood, although both were already covered, a couple of hundred soldiers and policemen yelling the loudest. But all acclaimed it as one of the greatest battles held on Mexican soil. COLORED ATHLETES Partaking in practically all lines of sports at U. S. C. a number of stellar lights of the race are giving good account of themselves according to accounts that filter out from behind the Trojan walls. JONES, a speedy Freshman from Needles does the century in 9:09 and shows prospects of greater bursts of speed. TUCKER, also a Frosh is also making a name as a crack sprinter. HERMAN HILL is on the varsity basket ball team, with much to be heard from him the coming season. NAT RUCKER, who already holds many honors on the crack is one of U. S. C. crack sprinters. Rucker won every event in which he participated at the White Sox Park Field Day this summer. Rucker is a Soph. HOIT PORTER who has qualified in golf and hand-ball is a junior. He is also an amateur boxer of great promise winning every match to date at local amateur clubs. Last week at Compton he floored Romeo Lemon his Mexican opponent 4 times in 4 rounds. BERT RITCHIE, star right-end will is also a crack sprinter and will go in for basket ball after the football season. "California Bear" Kayoes "Texas Steer" Word comes from Galveston, Texas that the question of supremacy between Neal Cisby, the California Bear and Willie Henry, the Texas Steer was settled last week by Neal knocking out Henry in three rounds in his home town. The two boxed a ten-round battle at Pasadena last spring with Cisby winning the decision. Geo. Frenkle and Wild Bill Cox Mix for Morrie RIBS FRASIER IN SEMI For the entertainment of the Pasa- dena millionaires and those who are not, the famous mixologist of fistulous Morrie Cohan is presenting this bill as we come of the press: "Wild Bill" Cox vs. George Trenkle, main event, eight rounds.

Tom Gallerg Shows Guerrero and Lamar Quick to see the possibilities in a rising boxer Tom Gallery, pilot of Hollywood Stadium has shot Joe Guerrero into the top spots, because of his great showing in all his recent bouts. The whole card follows: Joe Guerrero vs. Johnny Lamar, ten rounds, Jimmy Lunds vs. Matt Calo, six rounds, Sammy Offerman vs. Charley Greenberg, six rounds, Benny Marks vs. Louie Contrearas, four rounds, Oro Smith vs. Bert Sampson, four rounds. Carlo Curtis Presents The Usual "Action" The call of, "Action, Camera!" is unnecessary at the Main St. A.C.

Paul Jones Says Sandow Big Help to Lewis Champion Lewis, leading contender Paul Jones felt his hopes for victory take a big jump when it was announced that Billy Sandow, Lewis' manager would not be able to come to the coast to second the champion for this match. The Texan, who has given Lewis a pair of his toughest matches, declared that those who have faced Lewis in the ring have had to out figure Sandow to score a win over the champion. With Sandow absent, the strategy and clever ring work that has gone a long way to make Lewis a feared man, is expected to be lacking. EDITED BY HARRY LEVETTE Upper- Cuts & Blocks ---By--- HARRY LEVETTE LEARN TO BOX AND SWAT THE MASHER, GIRLS! GIRLS. HAVE not received. ANY ATTENTION in this column FOR SOME TIME but this news hound spied a little occurrence at Eath and Central the other day that caused a suggestion to filter through the cob webs of the editorial cranium. "A pretty, neatly-dressed, quiet-ap pearing girl was waiting on the corner for a north-bound "U" car, presumably to take her home from work in the neighborhood. Down the street rammed a keen Marmon roadster with a flashily-dressed bare-headed young fellow at the wheel, but seemingly try to see both sides of the street at once. Seeing the waiting girl he hastily showed down, bowed, grinned, nodded, and grimaced but all without return from her. She paid no more attention to him than to the yellow car that had to duck to avoid the wheels of the would-be he-firt, as he drove on down the street still looking back Self Conceited He-Flirts The girl in question deserves unstinted praise, and though both she and the hard hunting masher were of the Caucasian race here is some advice for the girls of our race or any other race. Learn the many (or womanly) are of self-defense, then when a masher get too insistent, swat him swiftly, accurately and suddenly. That is the only language some of them know. So many guys imagine they are the God-sent answer to a maiden's prayer and attempt to present this silly answer to every good-looking girl they see. A girl or woman can take a few lessons in boxing that will help her immensely if she unfortunately ever falls into the hands of one of this tribe. A quick rap on the point of the jaw will upset the biggest bully and not hurt the feminine fist either. Take His Car and Drive Home! With a few rudiments of boxing and jiu jitsu well in hand, the often joked of "walk home" need not be feared. A quick right and left to his cherished eyes, or even a pair of thumbs jabbed in them will blind him temporarily, then as most all girls can drive, all the determined Amazon needs to do is open the door, shove him out and drive back into town in his car, leaving it at the police station. But take a few lessons in boxing first. And that's that. Cleveland Giants Lose Hard Game to Pirrone Men Although "Bullet" Rogan's pitching was up to its usual high standard, the hitting power of Pirrone's All-Stars seemed to be greater for they made 9 hits and 4 runs last Sunday, while the boys from Lake Erie made 7 hits and 2 runs off Thurston. Thurston and Rogan made home runs. Thurston made a two-base hit and Green made a sensational home run that made him the hero of the game. Dixon as usual covered left field like the morning making some great catches. Allen to Day to Mottell and Mottell to Mackey to Beckwith were two thrilling double plays. About 4000 colored fans and 1000 white fans enjoyed the closely played contest. A red-hot orchestra and Luther Clalborne's singing kept the crowd highly entertained.

But if he behaves in this as well as he has in all his recent bouts he will come out with colors flying and another peg in his rapidly increasing row. Nationalista is in the midst of a comeback. He came close to stopping Fidel Lalbarra in the first round when they met here. The Filipino gave the former flyweight champion a harder fight than Bushy Graham, title claimant. Two weeks ago Nationalista stopped Vic Burrone in Milwaukee. Burrane substituted for Graham. Burrane holds a decision over Bud Taylor. Practically all Nationalista's former faults have been corrected, one of which had been the lack of a knock-out punch. But lately he has demonstrated to the delight of the fans and the discomfiture of his opponents and their managers that he has a dynamic sock in either hand.

It was not until the final part of the game that the Trojans stepped to the front and cinched the tilt that meant much in the standing of leaders of the Pacific Coast conference. The Trojans finally won 27 to 13, and established themselves safely enough at the top of the percentage column along with the University of California at Berkeley.

"THE NOOSE" WILLARD MACK'S POWERFUL DRAMA OPENING TONIGHT AT THE LINCOLN Mother love and a boy's willingness to pay the supreme sacrifice to save the honor and happiness of the mother he has never known, form the basis of the plot of "The Noose."

Evelyn Preer has the role of "Dot," a lovable dance hall girl who is secretly in love with Nickie, but who doesn't confess her love until the gallows have almost claimed him. Laura Bowman has another of her delightful mother roles, appearing as the Governor's wife who finds herself strangely drawn to the grim, silent youth who sits in a prison cell and refuses to give any reason for murdering a man in cold blood, other than to say repeatedly: "I killed him because he was no good." Both the Governor's wife and Nickie's lawyer feel that the boy's silence is maintained to save the happiness and good name of a woman. Sidney Kirkpatrick is to play the Governor, a part that calls for rare dramatic ability. Other important roles are characterized by Lawrence Criner, Cleo Desmond, Monte Hawley, Bebe Townsend, Arthur Ray, Charles Olden, Irene Wilson, Malcolm Patton and others. It is announced that starting next Friday, "Common Clay," one of the most powerful and sensational dramas ever written, will be the Lafayette Players' presentation. HUmbolt 2915 Cow-Boy Willis Wins Nod Over Joe Anderson Although it could have been, a draw without stretching much Cow-Boy Jack Willis was awarded the decision over Joe Anderson at the Olympic last Tuesday night. It was a tough battle all through with the Kentuckian doing some clever boxing and. Willis some heavy socking. Sailor Fay Kesky put up a great battle against Eoby Fernandez, holding him to a draw WHY HOOVER WON THE PRESIDENCY Orcella Rexford, B.S. of the University of California, world famous leather on Numerology, made the prophesy that Mr. Hoover would win, when the campaign first started. She had figured it out from his name. Mr. Al Smith had consulted Miss Rexford before entering the race he would have saved his money and much heart ache of being defeated for it is written in his name that he couldn't have won at this time. "The Science of Names and Numbers was taught by all ancient people" affirms Miss Rexford, who changed her name eight years ago to bring her health, wealth and love, which she has achieved. "Herbery Clark Hoover's mime figures out, that he is a pioneer, his great independence, love of humanity, domesticity and idealism. But it was the numbers in his birthday, however that determined his election, for it is indicated that he is in harmony with success this year and all that he under takes will come to his satisfaction. "Alfred Smith on the other hand, while he has every chance for success in other years, was out of tune this year. He will have unsettled fortune and inharmony for a few more years to come. It is all in his birthdate. This was not his year for success and he lost!" "Certain letters in the name may prove unfortunate," stated the famous numerologist, "you are under the influence of each letter in your name for nine years beginning with the first letter at birth, so you can figure it cut for yourself. Letters, S, N, T or usually bring loss of money, ill health and troubles in love. Names with these letters in can be changed to more favorable ones that will do away with these difficulties." Orecla Rexford has just concluded a most successful series of lectures at Trinity Auditorium in Los Angeles and through the efforts of Mrs. Anna McMillan of the Unity Center at the Somerville Hot-1 who has been attending Miss Rexford's class in Numercology, which has just closed, this famous teacher and lecturer has consented to give a series of free lectures to be held at La Vada Apts. 249 E. Vernon, beginning Friday, Nov. 30 at S P. M. and continuing for four days. On Tuesday, November 27. Mrs. Murdoch of the Sinclair-Murdoch Musical Association will hold a reception at La Vada Ballro m to present Miss Rexford at which time she will give a lecture on "What's in a Name?" illustrating the method of analyzing character by a blackboard demonstration.

This is the screen version of the play, "L'incomise," by Pierre Frondate, which created an international sensation. Much of the action centers in Venice, Paris and on the Arabian desert. Magnificent sets, including a huge ballroom and reproductions of the famous canals, were especially designed and constructed for this lavish production. Greta Nissen and Charles Farrell play the leading romantic roles in this intensely dramatic story of an Arabian lover and his beautiful blond sweetheart. In addition to Miss Nissen and Mr. Farrell, the case includes Mae Busch, Myrna Lay, Vadim Uranoff, George Stone and Tyler Brooke.

THE THIRTEENTH CHAIR The Spooky Mystery Play, Lincoln's feature for this past week was certainly a thriller. And what made it intensely interesting to us was the fact that an array of our very own L. A. talent figured conspicuously in the cast. The Thirteenth Chair is action from start to finish. From the first rising of the curtains to the closing scene the audience is on tip toe wandering what will happen next. To the skeptic the Thirteenth Chair is a well directed drama with a play on spiritualism as its background, but to those who branch out into the realm beyond the reat, to those who believe in a connecting link between the living and those who have passed beyond the veil, an atmosphere of mystery supported by the weird lighting effects is created, and the occult forces have full play upon the imagination for nearly two hours. Laura Bowman as the medium was a perfect fit in her role and each actor from the leading lady, Evelyn Preer, to the smallest part was pleasingly and professionally handled. And day by day in every way the Lafayette players are growing more popular at the Lincoln. THEY RATE THIS WEEK ON THE STUDIO LOT At M. G. M. among the out-of-town talent, we find Dumas Johnson, in charge of some pretty tight actors. Dumna, by the way, is meeting with considerable success at his new post.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Pasadena Citizens Honor Willis Petroleum Co. Stockholders A reception was given in honor of the Officers, Directors and Stockholders of the Willis Petroleum Company at the Friendship Baptist Church Pasadena, last Thursday Evening, and in point of attendance and enthusiasm was one of the important social events of the season. The Morris, fifteen piece orchestra entertained the large crowd as it was assembling and at intervals during the evening. Dr. W. G. Carter, who was Master of Ceremonies, before proceeding with the evenings program, spoke of the advancement being made as the years pass by members of the Colored Race. He called the attention of those present to the fact that each year Men and Women of the Colored Race were becoming more and more a factor in business, in religion and in Society, and while my people, said Dr. Carter, have entered into these different activities, this was the first attempt to his knowledge, where Colored Men and Women owned and controlled an Oil Company. In a forceful way Dr. Carter brought to his hears attention the fact that Younger Men and Women who became interested in worthy enterprises of the day did so with the thought of providing for OLD AGE, while Older Men and Women were looking ahead toward providing for their families who will live after them. He considered the Willis Petroleum Company a worthy enterprise and commended it to our people. Miss Hunter, one of Pasadenas talented Young Ladies was introduced and in glowing terms extolled the virtues of Mr. R. W. Willis, President of the Willis Petroleum Company. She told of his influence, not only in this locality, but as it extended into other states. Attorney Hugh E. MacBeth of Los Angeles, in an interesting and well worded address told of the struggles through which our people have gone and from which they have not wholly emerged, but, said he, many of these so called struggles have been brought about by short-sightedness on the part of the people themselves, but now for the first time, they had through the efforts of the Willis Petroleum Company a chance to improve their condition and invest their money in an enterprise where there was no limit to its possibilities. Dr. Carter then introduced the officers and directors of the Willis Petroleum Company after which he called on the President, Mr. R. W. Willis, who explained that he had not expected to be called upon, and for that reason would not say much but in an interesting and humorous way he told some things about the Company he had founded. Among other things he said, "when I first started to form the Company I had my ups and downs—mostly downs, but I had faith and kept going. If I heard of a Colored Man or Woman who had a dollar, I started after them and tried to get the whole dollar; if I couldn't get it all I tried for a half and if I couldn't get that I took what they would give". Mr. Willis said those days were gone forever, the Company was made and was no longer begging for money. Dr. Carter then introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. M. D. Bechtel, of Los Angeles, who had assisted Mr. Willis in his preliminary organization, and Mr. Bechtel spoke in parts as follows:; "I have been sitting here to night enjoy the sight of seeing so many of you men and women present, and I have admired the way in which your Chairman, Dr. Carter has been handling the proceedings, and I only wish it were possible for me to say the few things I have in mind with has Grac and ease. You may wonder how I became interested in doing some things that have been done for the Company in whose honor this reception is given, and I am going to tell you a secret-told for the first time and new even to the officers and directors of the organization. Less than one year ago I was interested in some oil property in Ventura County, California, and had sold my interest to some men at a handsome profit. The papers were drawn and delivered to them for their in-spection and signature and I turned on a certain day. This day came and passed without the return of the papers or without any word from these men. About this time an outside party came to me, saying he had some men for whom he was working, who had all kinds of money who wanted the property and wanted it NOW. An explanation was given this man regarding the arranged for sale, but he wanted to know if I would not meet his man and talk to him on the following morning. He said his man was colored but was a wonderfully fine fellow, who had high ideals and whose word was good. In addition, he told me some of the things this same colored man had done for him. I met this man the next morning and for the first time was introduced to Mr. R. W. Willis now President and General Manager of the Wilfs Petroleum Company. Mr. Willis told me he was interested in Oil, that he had for years seen men make millions in oil, but to his knowledge no opportunity had ever been given his people to own and control an oil company. He said, "we have some money—not all the money in the World, as you have been told, but if you will give us a chance I am sure we will make good and I know my people will ever be grateful for just a chance." I told him to look the property over and that if my parties had not carried out their agreement in returning the signed papers to the attorney, I would deal with him, providing the property suited him. During the day in talking with some of my associates I told them of my conversation with Mr. Willis and of the prospective deal. These WHITE MEN laughed at me and said I was nothing but an 18 Karet Fool to think of selling oil land to a colored man and they thought both the colored man myself should be lodged in the Psychopathic ward of the County Hos-pital for observation. They argued that the colored man might be alright, but when it came to real hard, up-to-date business exprience, especially in oil game, he was a novice and had to be tried out. RIGHT THEN AND THERE I rowed that if Mr. Willis would stick to his ambition there would be an OIL COMPANY, OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY MEN AND WOMEN OF THE COLORED RACE if I could in any way assist in bringing it about, so the colored man, R. W. Willis, became the founder and the Ventura County, California, property became the foundation of the Willis Petroleum Company and you might be interested in knowing and Mr. Willis can verify this statement, that the handsome profit was thrown overboard in my anxiety to assist in building an honest-to-goodness Oil Company for Mr. Willis and his people. In looking through the paper this morning I noticed this homely witty cism: "The presence of Rubber Mats under cuspidors is evidence that men make mistakes" in other words, when men spit they sometimes make mistakes and fail to hit the cuspidore, and for that reason rubber mats are necessary. Let me say to you there has been no need for rubber mats in the Willis Petroleum Company Organization, for the men connected with that institution have made no mistakes. The very first transaction was the purchase of a substantial Acreage of oil land, in tees, and almost before the ink used in signing the papers had dried, the Shell Oil Company, perhaps the Worlds Largest Oil Company, offered to pay YOUR COMPANY, an initial payment of $14,920.00 for just a Lease on 160 acres of the land, for Oil drilling purposes and as oil and gas are found YOUR COMPANY retains the usual Royalty. But your officers were far sighted—they did not stop with this single purchase, but closed n-equations for better than 240 acres of additional, adjointland. This land was not leased, but bought outright with the money advanced by men connected with the company and offers have been coming in from successful White Men for the land. But even that is not all—more land in the same locality has been tied up so it can be acquired at any time. Now ladies and gentlemen, let me draw you a picture that is true to life of hundreds of Acres of Oil Land owned in fee and under option to members of the Colored Race, every acre of which can be leased this night to successful oil men, and this land surrounded on one side by the great Shell Company, on another side by the Nationally known Texaco Company, on another side by the wonderfully successful Rio Grande Interests and on the fourth side by the rich Doheny Family—Then picture, if you will the activity in this same territory. Right now, as we are assembled here, the drill of the Rio Grande Interests is grinding away toward that black gold know as oil on an adjoining property. Within a short distance, you can hear the CHUG—CHUG of the engine as it drives the drill downward on the Doheny Property. Thousands of Dollars have been spent for up-to-the-minute drilling equipment in preparation for a drilling campaign by the Wasabi Oil Company, a neighbor, and the report has come to me that the Bolaa Chica Oil Company—a company whose stock has risen in the past few months, from 24 cents a share to $2.82 a share—has just spent better than $15,000.00 for the completion of a road to their neighboring property. On the other hand, within sight of oyur property—the property owned by Colored People; the property owned by the Company founded by the man, whom my white friends said was a fit subject for the Psychopathic ward is the State Famed Producing Fiend of the Texaco Company—the Montebello Fiend. Were I a painter of the finest skill, with a heaven given inspiration and command of the colors of the rainbow I would want no better subject than OLD SULPHUR MOUNTAIN, on the edge of HOPPER CANYON, in Ventura County. To my left would rise in color the stacks, the tanks and the condensors of the Texaco and Richfield Refineries; to my right would be the noble Mountains of the PiruFill more District showing in bold relief the Oil Anti-line; in front of me would be the Oil Derricks of the Rio Grande and other Compaines and to the rear would be that famed Santa Clara River, whose bed has formed a fault, which keeps the Oil stored in the adjacent territory. But that's not all—with an inspiration, given from on high, I would paint on the summit of that OLD MOUNTAIN three men COLORED MEN, and as the years went by and that picture was hanging on my wall and I was persuasing it, surrounded by my children and grandchildren. I could say—that's the picture of the place where these rich Colored People, who have such wonderful homes, and such fine cars and whose children are so well educated, got their start in oil and those men on the top of that mountain Robert W. Willis, Charles W. Russell and James M. Russell are the men whose foresight made possible the acquiring of that property, and who in turn, after putting their own money in to it, offered a part to men and women of their own race. Now, ladies and gentlemen, you may say, why haven't oil companies picked up this land before and I can't answer that--but I can call your attention to the fact that about ten years ago a friend of mine took one of the big oil men to Signal Hill and begged of him to lease the land, without any cost ex- cepting the drilling of a well. The oil man said, "I know the structure is here, but the Lord would not put oil in a place like this, so convenient for Labor; within easy access of supplies and with a wonderful harbor for shipping at your very door," yet within two years millions and millions of Dollars were paid for leases on that same land which could have been had FREE, and that same Signal Hill, after producing oil and gas for six years is doing better than 200,000 barrels of oil each day, besides millions of subic feet of gas. Only two years ago an acquaintance of mine, offered Elwood Leases to men of high standing in the Oil Fraternity, and was laughed at, yet today the rise in Barnsdall and Rio Grande Stock is due, in a large measure to the big kells of that territory. Instance after instance could be sighted where companies have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for drilling sites, which could have been had only yesterday for the asking—and every Oil Field has its romance. Ventura County, where the Willis Petroleum Company Property is located, is now coming into its own as Oil Producing Territory, and within the past two years the Worlds Greatest Oil Field, to my mild has been dis covered in that County—1-speak of what is known as the Avenue Field Since the discovery of this flend the Companies have been spreading out in this County and the present activity, and what I believe will be the next big field is in and adjacent to the Willis Petroleum Property and I here and now make the prediction that the Property owned by your People will be in the heart of the big production. BUT MORE, and those of you who have been grapping about during the better part of your life, satisfied with a meager from hand to mouth existence LISTEN—The Willis Petroleum Company has subdivided a part of of this land into acre, and half-acre Tracts and is offering each Tract purchaser a percent in all Oil and Gas produced on 160 acres of the land in this way, each Tract purchaser will own his or her land and will share in all the land-owners royalty of the Oil and Gas produced—not on a lot—but on the entire 160 acres. When Oil is found can you visualize your profits? Can you picture the 'homes', the clothes, the automobiles, the education of your children a few good wells on 160 acres of land will buy? But in addition to all this, much of the land is adapted to the growing of Oranges, Lemons, Apricots and Grapes and to the raising of Chickens, Turkeys and Rabbitts. I am not interested financially in your Company; I do not own one Dollar worth of stock - your Officers and Directors will not let me in - they say they started out to form an organization owned and controlled by Colored Men and Women, and as long as they have anything to say the Willis Petroleum Co. is going to be a Colored man's institution, but I can say I know what has been done, and I know some of the things that will be done and my advice to any of you who are not stockholders in the Willis Petroleum Company or to those of you who have not signed for an acre or half-acre of Willis-Vista Acres Land, is to hurry and loosen the string that binds that pocket-book, or dip deep into that old stocking or, look again into that Bureau drawer to see whether you, cannot find a few stray bills that have been over-looked, or even make an extra draw on that bank account. My Friend—and as I have been standing here looking into the faces of the Men and Women in this andience, I feel we are Friends, I want to say that during the past few months I have become acquainted with many Colored People—I have learned to know their likes and dislikes, their strong points and their peculiarities, but I have confidence in them. I know they want to progress. I know they want to make money. I know they are just as bright and just as keen as their White Brothers and Sisters, and all they want is a chance. I know, too, that the Men and Women connected with the Willis Petroleum Company feel they have the chance and that they have taken advantages of it and for me I am going to take a great daal of pleasure, as I walk down the Street and meet the White Men with whom I have been associated and when they say—Well, how are You and Your Colored Friends coming along? And I can look them straight in the eyes and say—AH—it has been a glorious connection; it has been a great day, a day in which the Colored Men and Women of Los Angeles and Pasadena have rallied around R. W. Willis Charles W. Russell, James M. Russell and the Directors and Members of the Board of Governors of the Willis Petroleum Company and have backed them with their money and their well wishes, and they are now on the way of giving to the World its first successful OIL COMPANY—owned and controlled by Colored MEN AND WOMEN. The guests were then turned over to a Committee of Women headed by Miss Minnie Goins, and what a Banquet Course they did serve! Whether it was the lateness of the hour or the goodness of the eats or the excellent way in which it was served that made things tase so good this humble scribe cannot say, but one thing is sure—if that same combination of Women ever get up another Banquet, please, oh please invite me to eat. Court Releases Wife Attacker (By The Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Teen., Nov. 20.—Charles Winnow's plea that he stabbed his wife in self-defense fell upon sympa thetic ears here Thursday and he was LOKKING THROUGH GARVEY'S EYE LOKKING THROUGH GARVEY'S EYE BY: F. HYDE Unfortunately there seems to be quite a coolness arising in the minds of some of the political leaders of the Black belt, plus the co-operation of the Inter-racial Committee in their former stand for social and political equality. What seems to have come over these valiant, heroes? Is it possible that they have taken in consideration some other method of justifying human errors, or on the other hand is it possible that they have met together in Council and unanimously scolded themselves of their vast mistakes, and racial suicides in squandering the Finance of the masses, in protesting and in the filing of petitions and law suits as the results of what they term an unconstitutional injustice? To my mind, the latter must be the conclusion at which these intelligent gentlemen have arrived at. If not, why is it that such a condition as that of segregation be allowed to exist in the Interior Department, the Medical Dispensary and the Pensions Departments and remember not in Texas or Mississippi but just next door to the "White House" in Washington, D.C., as in the case of Miss G. McKee who recently was forced to resign her position as stenographer in the General Land Office for having been pushed aside in an old storage room apart from the other office employees to do the same clerical work. It's some excuse as in the case of Perry Howard of Mississippi, where the question of social and political equality would be debated upon, but it should not be thought of as being an insult, by these advocates of constitutional right, at "The Nation's Capitol". Why is all this sudden change taking place and the motive behind all this political coolness. Let us digress just a little, and erase a few mistakes in order to form an impartial and public conviction. These noted advocates of social and political equality, which by no means can be termed less than racial suicides have realized within themselves that when the Constitution of this greatest of all commonwealth was drawn up, the Negro was not questioned as to whether any certain section, article or amendment was satisfactory to him, or how it affected his race. They also realized that the same men that drew up the Constitution to suit his own environments and those of posterity, that same body of men were those who surveyed the darkest forests, hewed down the great mountains into beautiful planes, engulfed the great lakes and surrounded them by fine cities, held the Negroes in chatel slavery.

(By The Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Teenn, Nov. 20—With the close of the election and the overwhelming victory of the Republican Party local politicians of the white race have renewed their plan to wrest from Robert R. Church the power he has exercised as recognized leader of the Republican Party in Tennessee. The tight takes on a tri-cornered fashion with Bob, Church, Herber: L. Harper, who was defeated for congress and Walker L. Wellford, chairman of the "Hoover Non-Partisan" headquarters as the principals. According to the opinion of local leaders, Bob Church will again emerge the victor, as he has done in every other battle in this state. Mr. Church was active in the Hoover campaign and the leaders in the state feel that President elect Herbert Hoover will not forget that when he is inaugurated. On the other hand, Mr. Church is a potent figure nationally in the Republican Party and has the goodwill and support of the party chieftains of the national and it is further believed that J. Will Taylor, the national committeman from this state, will favor Mr. Church. Wellford's chief contention is that Negroes played little part in the election of Herbert Hoover in Shelby County, in which Mr. Church is located, but this argument will prove weak in the fact of Mr. Church's national influence among the members of his race and among the leaders of the Republican Party. At the present time Bob Church is in the saddle and leaders here express the opinion that he will have no trouble in retaining his seat. acquitted of the charge in the criminal court when the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Winnow testified that his wife had attacked him with an ice pick and that he stabbed her to prevent her from killing him, as she had threatened to do. OH KIDDIES! LOOK WHAT'S HERE!

Page--Ten RAKESTRAW'S RAILROAD CLATTER By Joe Rakestraw Railroad Men Determine On Program Of Economic Preparedness (By The Associated Negro Press) ST. LOUIS, MO., Nov. 24.—Regional representatives of eight Western and Southwestern railway employees' organizations met at St. Louis, Sunday and Monday of this week to devise a "bone and sinew" program to meet and beat certain hostile situations which would result in the elimination of Race men from railway employment in skilled crafts of the country. Thus being the second of a series of such conferences to be held in different sections of the country in the following months for the purpose of tightening the girths of the men of our group that they may successfully maintain their positions in this most lucrative field of year round employment open to our people. After sixty-five years as firemen, switchmen, brakemen, and skilled and semiskilled shop men by our men there has been instituted by some unseen force a program of elimination of Race men and the substitution of whites for new jobs or old jobs vacated through death, discharge, or other natural causes with the provision in effect on one road employing hundreds of race men that no others shall be employed in the future. The conference directed by R. L. Mays, Labor Counsel of Chicago, determined among other things to seek organization of the economic power of the Race as the weapon with which to seek industrial justice, in due and proper proportion. The next group meeting will be at Memphis, Tenn. on December 16 and 17. Under the auspices of the Inter-State Order of Colored Locomotive Firemen, Engine Helpers, Yard and Train Service Employers. A STITCH IN TIME After several months of pain, agony, sleepless nights, the maids quarters in Ogden have been changed from Mrs. Lowdon's, 2726 Wall Ave. to Mrs. Landrum's. A deal of misery was dealt these girls who were compelled to spend their layover listening to gossip, criticism and rot by a lady who should have created an atmosphere of cheerfulness in the quarters, a number of the maids took refuge in private homes at their own expense in order to side-step the antagonistic attitude that was centered on them. On moving to Mrs. Landrum's "Welcome" greeted these queens of the rails and everything seems to be done to add to the comfort and pleasure of the girls. The Clatter congratulates the present housekeeper and too much praise cannot be given to the ones who preserved and fought for this, much needed change. DOING THEIR BIT Claude Hamilton of The Union Pacific and Prieston Killings are all smiles this week since the arrivals of 812 and 10 pound girls arriving in these homes. We congratulate these boys in their spirit of co-operation and wish for them many more girls and some boys too. SPAIN SUPPRESSES TIPPING IN PUBLIC The system of tipping in public places in Spain has been suppressed. An addition of from 10 per cent to 20 per cent according to the amount of the bill will be added in the future. Cafes, bars and certain other places are temporarily excluded from the measure. DE LUXE COACHES OF ADVANCED TYPE IN SERVICE ON U. P Fifteen allsteel coaches of a new de lae hype type, embodying in their construction many innovations devised for the greater comfort and convenience of travelers have recently been put into service by the Union Pacific System. These coaches were built by the Pullman Car and Manufacturing Corporation and are used between Omaha and Denver, and on the Portland Limited between Omaha and Portland. SALESMANSHIP If any one were to list the special characteristics of a railroad system, one of them would certainly be the spirit of salesmanship widespread among employees. The work of selling service is not left wholly to the traffic department, but is carried on usefully by Pullman, Train Porters, Maids, Dining Car Waiters and other classes of workers on the railroad. Through the monthly journals that are published by various railroads friendly comments on service rendered are published. HERE AND THERE Crossing Accidents Alarming Railroads Grade crossing accidents are continuing to increase at an alarming rate, according to a report by American Railway Association. In 1927, according to the report, more than 20 per cent of all accidents were of that class. Two hundred and forty-four persons were killed and 1636 were injured in 1148 accidents, which included passen ger automobiles, busses and truck. if You Fall To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened Plans to Withdraw Trains Is Opposed Although some Chambers of Commerce in tha San Joaquin Valley have taken action opposing the proposal of the Santa Fe to withdraw trains No. 41 and 42, between Fresno and San Francisco, no action has been taken by the Fresno County Chamber of Commerce, it was learned today. HEARD AND SEEN AMONG THE PULLMANITES Mrs. B. A. Marshall who was called to the bedside of her mother in San Jose, California, returned to this city Friday after an absence of several weeks, we welcome Mrs. Marshall back but regret the passing of her dear mother into the great beyond. The Clatter deploy sympathizes with her in her great loss. Mrs. Florence January moves from the Rosalind in order to housekeep on a larger scale. Mrs. Tennie Upton has recovered from a minor illness that caused her to miss a trip on the fashionable Los Angeles Limited. Mrs. Ella Greer (Peaches) has requested the paymaster to separate her money from The Pullman Company's roll.

Maybe some day he will be the Master of the boys instead of Mascot. In making a close observation of the boys the past week Mr. Gray finds some of them studying the problems of our group and are preparing themselves for future work that will some day be very noticeable; among those to whom this credit is due are V. Williams, A. L. Glover, A. Lewis. Quite a bit of interest is being displayed among the boys now since the Community Chest drive is on. The caps are certainly requiring the services of Dr. Hall and his staff these days since the flu has been so prevalent. Mr. Ringold, Mr. Drakeford, Mr. Artis and Glarlington are among the sick listed for the week. Since president Gray's inception in office he has not failed to convince some of the members of his powerful organization the value of preparedness. UNION:PACIFIC GOSSIP Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

Rivals Shoot It Out For Woman's Affections: One Dies (By The Associated Negro Press) Columbia, S. C., Nov. 20—A dispute over the affections of a woman caused the wounding of George Washington and the death of Reese Cobb, here Tuesday night when the two rivals "shot it out" at a dance. According to witnesses the two men began arguing about the woman and the argument waxed warmer and warmer until both reached for their guns. Cobb shot Washington in the hip and Washington returned the fire inflicting a fatal wound in the chest. Both men were rushed to the Waverly hospital where Cobb died a few hours later. Washington's wound was dressed and he was transferred to the county jail charged with murder, following the death of Cobb. The witnesses de- Prejudice To Cleveland Audience (By The Associated Negro Press) Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 20.—Race prejudice was defined clearly to a large group of Clevelanders who packed the city club auditorium of the Hotel Hollende, by William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and contributing editor of the Associated Negro Press, here Saturday. Speaking on the subject: "The Economic Interpretation of the Race Problem", Mr. Pickens pointed out to his immediate audience and the thousands who had tuned in on station WHK, over which the address was broadcast, that the apparent inconsistency in the white man's treatment of the Negro is explainable by a fundamental and at times terrific consistency to economic advantage and that racial differences in the United States were sociological rather than biological. The speaker further declared that the solution of the problem lies in the economic progress of the Negro and a better acquaintance between the two races. "The curious inconsistencies in the relations of the two races", said the speaker, "are always consistent with the economic advantage of the dominant class. Dirty slaves and ignorant servants seem more acceptable than intelligent Negro freemen. "The clean Negro munching his biscuit in the hotel dining room is more disagreeable than the sweating Negro who is praring the food in the kitchen. In Mississippi the colored maid who nurses white children may sit in the same pew with her mistress in church. "After the barber business became prosperous, Georgia attempted to legislate the Negro barbers out of business on the ground that racial purity was endangered by a colored man bobbing a white woman's hair. The sentiment and beauty of sex offered the most appealing pretext for economic robbery." Speaking on pride of race, Mr. Pickens stated: "Pride of race is not a paying proposition for a Negro. How ever, race pride is not an instinct Children show it not at all. I knew a Mississippiian who admitted "I was nearly fourteen years old before I knew I was better than a Negro." Even religion is not strong enough according to Mr. Pickens, to overcome the economic causes of race discrimination and pointed out that Negroes could not even build a church where it disturbed real estate values. Evanston Slayer Grins As State Demands Death (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Nov. 20—While his attorneys fought for his life and the State demanded it, David Shanks, the confessed slayer of Miss Jennie Meta Constance, white coed of Northwestern University, smiled foolishly and took intermittent naps, with apparent little or no interest in the proceedings. The murder for which Shanks is being tried was committed August 7th and stirred the entire city. For sometime it was a mystery and remained so until Shanks was arrested and confessed that he was the slayer. Local newspapers condemned the deed and urged that justice be noted out quickly to the murderer. The trial, which began early this week, has been a re-enactment of the horrible crime and the reading of the confession mare by Shanks. Through it all he has been calm, showing absolutely no interest in the case, even when he made a plea of not guilty. The defense attorneys are basing their case on a plea of insanity when their attempt to negotiate a life sentence for the twenty-four year old slayer. The case is expected to go to the jury early next week. Arrest Of Three Youthful Bandits Clears UP One Murder And 89 Holdups (By The Associated Negro Press) Cisciago, Ill., Nov. 20—According to officers here, the arrest of Norganan Swan, Napoleon Glover, and Van Yedder Donaerax here Tuesday, following the slaying of Peter Lucas, a southside drugist, has cleared up eighty-nine holdings on the southside.

C., Nov. 20.—Mystery surrounds the death of Ben Sultan, who was found shot to death here Tuesday morning near the Seaboard Railroad tracks. An investigation showed that Sultan had been shot through the head and shoulder and that he died instantly. The body was discovered by a fireman on the Seaboard railroad who reported it to the officers. A large crowd gathered at the scene of the murder but no, one could give any inkling as to the identity of the slayer. Several weeks ago Sultan was found in the same place with a gun shot wound in his hip. He was rushed to the hospital where he recovered but could not tell who had shot him. Two weeks ago he went back to work and it is believed that he was on his way home from work when he was killed. Police here are searching for his estranged wife, who is suspected of knowing something about the affair. When he was shot before, it was freely expressed that she knew the identity of his assailant and police are following that up as the only clue to the murderer.

Phone HU If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA Two special services were held at the Calvary Baptist Church. Rev. Jones, pastor, secured two very interesting speakers. Rev. Ernest Mathes, white, preached on the subject, "The Straight and Narrow Way" at the morning hour. In the evening Rev. K. G. Brown, also white, preached. His subject was "Cast Thy Cares Upon Him." Mrs. H. C. Coleman of the Calvary Baptist Church is reported very ill. She is not able to get out and would like friends to visit her. Sunday evening at the Forest A. M. E. Church a very interesting program and debate was held by the Allen Christian Endeavor League. The subject for debate was that, "Wealth is a greater Handicap to the Young man or woman than poverty." The affirmative won. The team consisted of Misses Biona Inlowe, and Helen Winton. The negative team was Mr. Donald Brunson and John Rucker. The entire evening was set aside for this occasion. Mr. A. A. Thomas, State President of the League, was an unexpected visitor. The meeting was well attended. Oer valley's, chasm's and mountain's heaps Rings his piercing cry— He slips and dips, he soars On a sea whose waves are the wind; He is the symbol of the great out- doors The wonders that nature unfolds To travelers of the height— He is alone, uncrowded. He goes at will, and leaves no trail— By clouds, his home is shrouded In crag-tops that none can scale— Now, down he sinks to his throne. An obelisk that reaches hight; And from this lofty perch of stone, He cries—I am the monarch of the shelf. TRUE SAYINGS Every land where a man is successful is his native land—Latin Proverb. A man adopts the land where the fruits of his labors are found, where he can make a home and live in peace and prosperity.

BISCUITS GALORE. --- Fifteen Year Old Girl Gets Life Sentence; Southern Daily Protests (By The Associated Negro Press) A penalty of life imprisonment was levied by Judge A. D. Henriques against a 15-year old girl, Mabel Downs, who was convicted before him last week for the murder of her lover, Louis Diggs, in a restaurant on South Rampart Street, July 7th. After being sentenced and while being led from the court room back to the Parish Prison, the girl attempted to make a break-for freedom by striking at Deputy Sheriff Joseph Wicks, who was holding her. The blow landed on the sheriff's eyes, but he managed to subdue her and lead her beak to the dock. The "Times-Picayune", one of the leading newspapers in the South, which has made an aggressive fight for one hundred per cent white supremacy, committing on the sentence, editorially, says, in part. "As we understand the law, the trial Judge, could impose no other sentence under the verdict required. For conviction on first degree murder only two penalties are fixed—death by hanging or life imprisonment. The jury's recommendation saved the youthful offender from capital punishment and the alternative sehence followed. When, therefore, we suggest that infliction of such punishment upon a fifteen-year-old girl is inhumane and unjust, no reflection or censure of the court is intended or implied. "We make this suggestion in the belief that no fifteen year-old child has reached the maturity of judgment necessary to commission of the premeditated and cold-blooded murder for which the law prescribes its extreme penalties. The spirit of humanity protists, against so dreadful a punishment of a fifteen-year-old girl, who in all probability obeyed her primitive instincts and impulses because she tucken even the measure of discipline and education given the average white child of similar age. "If the fifteen-year-old culprit belonged to the white race, we have no doubt that powerful intercession would have been made in her behalf before now. The fact that she happens to be a Negro should not doom her to lifelong imprisonment from which her youth should shelter her. We do not believe the ends of justice can be served by an injustice to child offenders. And accordingly we hope that ways will be found to moderate this sentence to a degree consistent both with the safety of society and the modern principles of child welfare are applied in our juvenile courts." LOS ANGELES TUBERCU LOSIS ASSOCIATION 1008 TRANSPORTATION BUILDING Eight young women, who through geles Tuberculosis Association, have overcome tuberculosis, have joined the group of volunteers assisting in the preparation for this year's sale of Christmas Seals, it was announced today at the Association headquarters 1008 Transportation Building. With the exception of one girl, all are employed in downtown offices, and have made arrangements to work at the Seal sale task after hours. Several of the former tuberculosis patients are "graduates" of sanatoria, while others fought their battles against the disease in their homes, with the aid of the Association's visiting workers. According to Miss Sidney M. Maguire, executive secretary of the Association, there are scores of men and women, many in responsible positions in the city's business affairs, who are living demonstrations of the possibility of defeating tuberculosis. She stated that every year these persons can be depended upon to assist in the Christmas Seal effort, for they know, at 6 fist hand, what the health stl ckeses can ∞. The entire program for the fight against the disease in Los Angeles, Hollywood, San Pedro and Venice for the coming year, Miss Maguire said, depends upon the outcome of this Yule-Tide appeal for funds through the Christmas Seal Sale. The goal this year is $100,000 and I raise it, letters containing the seals are to be sent to 150,000 residents. IT'S WAITING FOR YOU!

A four thousand dollar house with the greatest ovation ever given a Negro woman in America greeted her at the time of the pageant depicting the struggles and trumpfs of the Palmer Memorial Institute was presented last spring. It has been said that not even Roland Hayes has attracted the calibre of wealth and artistry in such large numbers as turned out on that evening to pay their tribute of respect to an adopted daughter of Massachusetts of whom they felt justly proud. These students will appear with Mrs. Brown in Town Hall in New York, and at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. Aside from the interpretative songs and dances of the students, she is presenting to this type of American audiences three young artists who bid fair to make a substantial place for themselves in the concerts halls of America. Hudolph Gaston Scott, Tenor, who brought down the audience in his singing of "Water Boy" in convict music. Any Pender Bailey, a delightful lyric soprano, who appeared in the Spring scene of the program or pageant, and Gertrude P. McBrown, a newly delightful entertainment, Miss McBrown is a graduate of Emerson College, and holds a master's degree in education from Boston University.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1928 Prominent Missouri Woman Educator Visits California IS CALLED BY DEATH OF WEALTHY PIONEER UNCLE With the bereavement of a sad mission lessened by her surprise and pleasure at the wonders of California, viewed for the first time, Mrs. J. T. Ferrel, spent a few hours last Tuesday in Los Angeles. She is the aunt of Mrs. John Taylor, wife of the well known young pharmacist, and has been the principal of Lincoln High School, of Sedalia, Missouri, for thirty years. She is recognized in Mid-western, educational circles as one of the foremost educators. The death of her uncle, Mr. Samuel Hogan, wealthy aged bachelor, called Mrs. Ferrel, from her home to Woodland, California, to attend the funeral. Mr. Hogan was one of the pioneers of the state arriving here in 1875. He drifted into Woodland among the oil and mining prospectors and after working first as a bootblack, became one of the state's wealthiest citizens. His oil and mining holdings were very large and his history immediately connected with the history of the state. WINS FIRST LEGAL SKIRMISH An unusual occurrence transpired in legal circles when Attorney Leon Whitaker, after only three weeks admittance, not only appeared in court, but won his first legal skirmish.

I might add to the writeups reproduced below that Glick was the cause of the bout being a poor one, because it was he who did the holding. Glick fought just the same type of battle that Tommie O'Brien put up against Gans at the Olympic Auditorium a year and a half ago. Gans however in this battle stopped Glick from using illegal punches after the fourth round by punching Glick's head off before he could get in close and hold. Ed Frayne in the "American" wrote: "Glick, Beaten, Is Given Nod Over Gans, Negro Clearly Is Superior In Drab Contest". There was only one thing that was worse than the drab exhibition that Baby Joe Gans, of California, and Joe Glick of Williamsburg staged in the ten-round main event at Madison Square Garden last night. That was the decision. Referee Eddie Forbes and two judges awarded the verdict to Glick. Gans won the sixth round by such a wide margin that he offset the thin shades that Glick had taken on the first three rounds, and he won the seventh, ninth and tenth by tremendous margins. Glick was groggy and hanging on from rights to the law in the ninth, and he was almost brained a couple of times in the tenth. The fourth and eighth were even and the fifth so dreary that both of them should have been heaved out of the ring.

He was the more powerful hitter, he was the cleaner boxer, and he created all the excitement that there was. The only way possible that Glick might have won was by ring generalship, and that type of a fight is never interesting to watch. Understand, it wasn't much of a fight. It was more of a wrestling match up to the time Gans got started in the sixth round. Glick's strategy was to jab and grab, and Gans wasn't very much better. The fans were clapping a great part of the time. But when Baby Joe finally cut loose, it became very exciting. One right hand smash to the head in the ninth brought blood from Glick's nose, and the Williamsburgh battler, stiffened all over for a few seconds. He held on like grim death until his head cleared. GLICK GETS BAD BEATING. Glick took a serious beating in that round, a round, by the way, that produced more fighting than everything that had gone before put together. If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened THANKSGIVING AT PARKRIGE Gans took up where he had left off in the tenth, and nailed Glick with rights to the button time and again. Twice Glick fell into clinches to rest up. Just before the bell sounded, Glick landed the best punch to Gans' jaw. It checked a Gans rush, but Baby Joe was swarming back on the attack as the bell sounded. RECORD ATTENDANCE The fight drew the largest paid attendance ever recorded at a professional match in Madison Square Garden. The paid attendance was 18,937, which included 982 in standing rooms. The gross gate was $60,154.99. It was a tribute to the popularity of low-priced boxing: The highest priced seats were sold for $5.00. The spectators seemed fairly well pleased with the decision. That is, there was no demonstration against it. The great majority of newspaper men thought Gans had won. Both men weighed 134½. The Herald-Tribune said that it didn't see how the judges and referee could arrive at such a decision and the worst that Gans could have gotten was a draw and that most of the ringside though he won. The "Telegram" under Harry Grayson's name said, "Eddie Forbes, or dinarily very competent, did a very miserable job of refereeing. The judges, Mathison and Flynn have been judging the most important bouts for several months. Without meaning to cast any aspersions on their ability or integrity, it might be well for the commission to switch judges occasionally. Grayson also said that Gans was the best of the two at the finish and that he was the one who should be built up for Mandell. The "Times" said the decision was "complimentary" to Glick.

When Mrs. Robinson complained To Join Red Cross (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Nov. 20, Herbert Hoover, urging the citizens of the nation to support the American Red Cross through membership, calls attention to the fact that it is the one guarantee that relief will be provided in all disaster emergencies. The annual roll call, which has for its goal this year five million members, will open tomorrow and continue through Thanksgiving Day. The statement by President-elect Hoover follows: The American Red Cross has become an indispensable part of our national life. In peace and in war, it has served in the name of the American people, and in our most exacting emergencies it has never failed us. "Its history of the last five years has proved the necessity for maintaining at all times a national organization prepared to act instantly and efficiently in times of great disaster. Its work in the Mississippi Valley flood, and in lesser disasters, has inspired American confidence which need never be shaken so long as we give it the support it deserves. It has become the one guarantee to us, that through coordination of relief under it, loss of life shall be prevented in calamity; that suffering shall be mitigated to the utmost degree, and that the great problems of restoring homes and reestablishing the economic and social life of stricken sections shall go forward speedily and efficiently, "When the American Red Cross goes into action for the relief of stricken people, we all unconsciously feel, and are proud of the fact, that it is our Red Cross and that we are having a part in its work. It is our privilege and duty to make this a reality, and by becoming members during the annual Roll Call, to have a share in its great work in behalf of humanity."

As a reward his property was bombed. We feel that the services of Mr. Ingham, still a young man, merits the attention of men in such high positions; we further feel that a man who has set aside greed for money, and hold all these positions in Church without financial renumeration should be considered. His work as a Civic Oreanizer has never drawn for his a dollar, it was all for better race relationship. And for eleven years the many, many men and women, boys and girls whom he has employed he has never charged or taken money.

P GREENAWAY Congratulations to Miss Florence Cadrez, graduate of Jefferson High School for winning the "World Friendship Song Contest" held in Chicago recently. Florence's song will be presented at the Hollywood Bowl. Until recently Miss Cadrez was pianist in an orchestra playing at house parties, etc., which enjoyed quite a reputation among the younger set. Here's much success to Florence. Miss Thelma Monroe of Pasadena, Calif., was among those present at the Lincoln last Sunday evening. Miss Monroe is a dancer and has been with the Carolynne Snowden revue. Cupid has two more victims—Miss Eugenia Grant of West 30th street and Mr. Sam McAllister, Congratulations to both. The two Sams are back in town—Messrs. Sam Harris and Sam Marmillion—and their friends are mighty glad to see them, even if it's for a short time. The two Sams, under the stage name of the "Harris Brothers" have been playing the Orpheum circuit. About twenty girls attended dancing class at the Y. W. C. A. last Thursday evening, and had a barrel of fun. If other girls wish to learn folk dancing, etc., now is the time. Miss Gladley Greenaway entertained members of the St. Agnes Guild of the Episcopal Church. Tuesday evening, after business matters were discussed, refreshments were served. On the Day of the Ann Johnson and Robbie Broyles were able to attend, and the Advisor, Miss Kennard, but everyone enjoyed the evening. We were enjoying the "13th Chair" at the Lincoln Theatre immensely and had taken off our coat as it was a trifle warm, but before the second act had us as we had become decidedly chilly all of a sudden. We wish to congratulate all of our friends who were instrumental in helping make the "13th Chair" at Lincoln Theatre Marion Hendricks, Anita Grant, and Messrs. Thomas Southern, Edwin Jefferson, were fine, while the role of the father, played by Malcolm Patton was really "out of this world." The greatest "Bee" of the season took place last Thursday evening at the Y. W. C. A. and members of the Business Girls Club were the participants. Mrs. Mattie Nelson took charge of ye old spelling book, and one by one the girls were forced down, until only the Misses Alice Kennedy and Gertmde Taylor remained. Finally, however, the superior wisdom of Miss Taylor won out, and she was proclaimed the winner, and should we say "spellerette?", of all times, with Miss Kennedy running a close second. . . . Miss Hayward Kelsey, the big letterman, while doing his duty as postman last week, slipped and fell, and a letter popped out of his bag, inflicting two wounds on his face, to which iodine had to be applied. Oh, wait a moment--maybe it was this way; while coming home one dark and stormy night Hayward miscalculated the number of steps leading up to his house, and the screen kept awake so long, flew off its hinges and banged Hayward on the cheek. Anyway, either way, the wounds on his face are there, and Lucille doesn't know anything about them. Well, iodine rather goes with Hayward's complexion, only there should be two spots on the other side of his face so that it would be a match. The tea for Miss Dolly Townsend, sponsored by Miss Juanta Ellsworth, held last Sunday afternoon, was a great success, wonderfully programmed. Miss Hayward is a contest in the Kappa Alpha Psi contest to raise money for new buildings. "Ye Football Frolic" given by the Fellowship Club last week at the La Vada was thoroughly enjoyed by those attending. Real jam-up music was furnished by Messrs. Haven and Maryln Johnson.

Miss Lucy Lewis was admitted as a new member. It was decided to postpone the Thanksgiving frolic and have a Noel Frolic, December 28th instead. Near the close of the meeting there were snappy impromptu speeches by the new officers. The club adjourned and also pronounced Miss Johnson an ideal hostess. BACHELOR GIRLS CLUB BACHELOR GIRLS CLUB The R. H. G. C. are deeply grieved at the passing of their beloved member, Miss Lola Brooks. The deceased was a loyal member of the R. H. G. C. for 4 years, and held office as treasurer two years'. Her cheery smile and willingness to do all that she could for the upbuilding of the club, will leave a niche that will never be filled.

Two weeks ago, on a beautiful moonlight night, cupid held back the arrow, while the bow of wedlock was performed. This holy matrimony was performed by Rev. Robinson, when he tied the knot between Miss Vivian Elan and Mr. Wendle Lee. The happy couple are residing with the couple until their beautiful new home is finished. Mrs. Vivian Lee is a charter member of the P.G.C. which met at their home this week. The exquisite serving of Mrs. Lee, made it more a reception than a club meeting. Many receptions have and are still being given in honor of the couple. Because of so many showers and receptions the club girls will not be able to give the shower until December 3. Of course, no one knows how Miss Brantley felt when they consulted the right of her birthday. So you see it will be another glorious night. A wedding and birthday celebration. Nov. 23. 1928. To The Editor Of The California Eagle:— I thought that we were going to need a referee at the police commission's meetings. Dell Schwitzer didn't seem to be able to conduct a peacable session WEDNESDAY, of last week they met in the trial of J. J. Jones, and the fight ended in a draw. THURSDAY of the same week the fowl was thrown in the ring when Mrs. Collins and Atty. Hahn walked out of the jury room on account of a lopsided trif, but they finally ought to finish Monday night when Cap. Jones was suspended for four month with out-pay. So it looks as if Mrs. Collins won by a decision, and Dell gets up and asks the people of Los Angeles to be kind and considerate to Jones. Maybe DELL thinks that Jones was (FOULED) in that hout.

M. E. CHURCH REV. T. F. JUNES, Pastor. As usual splendid services were held Sunday. At the eleven o'clock service the pastor spoke from the subject, "Christ the Wonderful". This was a very spiritual service, which was greatly enjoyed by the large congregation. The subject of the evening sermon was "Evil Speaking." The pastor's discourse on this subject will not soon be forgotten. The Sunday School had a large attendance and punctuality. The Junior Endeavor had a fair attendance.

Out of the tragedy of the Vestris' disaster with its accompanying tales of "negligence, cowardice and gallimony," comes the story of the heroes of Lionel Licorich, a Negro quartermaster, and three other Negro scammen, headed by Joseph Elixier. Along with O'Longhlin, the radio operator, who remained at his post until the last minute, Licorich was threw her of the disaster which took a toll of scores of lives. Short in statue and unassuming in manner, according to survivors, Licorich displayed unequal courage and heroism which resulted in the saving of at least twenty lives. Remaining at his post until all hope was gone, Licorich plunged into the sea and swam to life boat No. 14 and found only one prison in it, a forman who had been injured. On climbing into the boat he discovered there were no oars. He immediately dived again into the sea and swam among the wreckage until he found two serviceable oars and returned to the boat. For hours he rowed about and helped person after person into his boat, which was later picked up by the steamship Berlin. PASSENGERS PRAISE Relating the heroic rescue offered by Licorich, Alfredo Remo, a passenger, said: "Lionel Licorich did what the officers of the Vestris failed to do. He took charge of boat No. 11 and jumped out to catch beighless passengers floating in the water. By the time the American Shipper picked up the boat he had saved the lives of twenty people. "I cannot say that the officers of the Vestris could be praised for their endeavors to save us. The Little Negro quartermaster was the only member of the crew who really exerted himself in our beebal." THREE SEAMEN HEROES Rivalling the feat of Licorich was the rescue work of the three colored seamen under the leadership of Elixier. Stories of survivors tell of how this trio swam through the wreckage to the stricken vessel and wrenched from its davits a lifeboat, number 13, from the second cabin section. They manned this boat and rowed through the floating debris, picking up passengers. The boat had no rudder and it was difficult to steer on the high waves but the seamen stuck to their post until picked up by a rescue ship. Licorich and his fellow heroes were reluctant to discuss their deeds and assumed the attitude that "we only did our duty." PRAISES CONDUCT OF NEGROES The stories that were circulated immediately following the tragedy that Negro members of the crew and Negro passengers were panic-striken and acted cowardly were refuted by Richard Wolcott, a Britton. "The report that Negro passengers and Negro members of the crew sought to save their own lives more than anything else is false," said Wolcott. "Not only is it false, it is nonsense. The Negroes I saw, and I saw many of them behaved magnificently and courageously."

One newspaper cries out to make its owner the leader of the Colored people, we see no reason why the request cannot be granted providing the said proposed leader will lead us somewhere. Very recently this proposed leader was endorsed over another to lead in one of the Assembly Districts, and there is no objection that we know of why he should not lead for all of them if he will but do so. However, it must be borne in mind that leadership consists in more than simply getting some place of honor for one's self. It means the bringing of things to pass for the people in general. It far transcends selfish greed and self adulation. Therefore, if this suggested general leadership will but assert itself along the lines of a true and unselfish effort which will bring things to pass there is no good reason why the prayer of this paper which has made the suggestion should not be granted.

There are not so many shopping days before Christmas as there were when first you were asked to do your Christmas buying early, and there is no hope that the number is going to increase between now and midnight of the twenty-fourth. Nor will prices be reduced; nor will the quality of the goods now on the shelves increase. So why linger and delay? Perhaps there are those who believe that "Do your Christmas shopping early" is a slogan devised by merchants who thought they would sell more goods if people bought early, and then took thought, and discovered that there was more buying they ought to do. But while that doubtles occurred to the merchants, it was not by any means the controlling motive that inspired the shop-early propaganda which greets us annually. The fact is, the request for early Christmas shopping came, first chiefly from the post offices, the express companies, the railroads and the sales and delivery people, all of whom found themselves swamped by a tidal wave that hit them suddenly and left them devastated. Some way had to be found for controlling this tide, for distributing its volume. So an attempt was made to educate the public into buying early and shipping early. The fear of the merchant is not so much that his sales will not reach the hoped for peak as that his future will be jeopardized. There is nothing that so disrupts a carefully-built organization as the overstrain of the two or three days—and nights—of hurried and harried labor before Christmas. Clerks break down; some of them leave; others are not fit again for some time, and meanwhile system goes to the dogs and the sales-machine has to be rebuilt. Customers, too, offended by some frazzled employee, get sore and vow never to trade there again. So the merchant, desiring to serve his public well, asks the public to help him to do so by distributing Christmas buying over as long a period as possible. So it behooves the public, since it wants good service, to remember that the chief element in that service is the human element and that the human machine breaks under undue strain just like any piece of machinery. And because there is a human element involved, and because Christmas is a time for special charity to all humans, it is only reasonable that shoppers and shippers be considerate of the store clerk, the postal employee and the servants of the express companies and railways. They want to enjoy Christmas, too. Why make the Yulstide hateful to them? Have a heart. Do your Christmas shopping early.

Obstructionists and reactionaries play havoc with community progress. Given the opportunity, they tear down faster than others can build. They resist every forward step, often just for the sake of going on record as being an objector. Though they are ignored by the knowing, the harm they do is considerable and too often underestimated. That man is not a good citizen who opposes a necessary public improvement because it does not directly increase the value of his property. That man is not a good citizen who locks the doors of his community to new industries because they compel him to meet a higher wage level that aids the entire community. That man is not a good citizen who prefers to aid out-of-town business and industry. That man is not an asset to his home town who is blind to all but its blemishes. There is no room in Los Angeles for the obstructionist. --- LEADERSHIP If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened In colleges now the higher learning is how to tackle low. The man who rushes into trouble usually hobbles out on crutches. It is sometimes disappointing to discover that a hero is only human after all. There are some persons who seem to prefer failure to minding their own business. Spending makes you poorer, but it gives you a delightful sensation of being rich. Any pedestrian knows the exact percentage of boneheads who are driving automobiles. A five-cent cigar is probably about as satisfactory as anything else that is cheap these days. YEARS from now to create synthetic liver that is what one would call, science running too many natural nondescripts in the world, earthly use could we possibly make out of our brains to follow the direction told.

The United States for for Peary's feat were being hand The candidates for the legislature in several of the states have fared pretty well. Illinois leads off with five. Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, West Virginia and California have elected Negroes to their legislative bodies. Nollie Smith, a prominent Negro of Honolulu, has been elected by an overwhelming majority to the Hawaiian legislature. Attorney McLemore, of St. Louis, Mo., Democrat candidate, 12th congressional district, Missouri, failed to defeat the incumbent, L. C. Dyer, who introduced the anti-lynching bill in congress. Some of the pessimists are predicting that congressman-elect, DePricest, will have some trouble when he appears before the bar of the House to take the oath of office. As we have stated several times, we believe that the indictment was none other than a political move to embarass him and it behooves rather to break down the barriers than to prejudge and raise others. Illinois did the gracious thing when it appropriated funds to erect a monument to the gallant old 8th regiment of infantry. The regiment was known, and fought in Flanders through the World War, as the 370th. Representative George Kersy introduced the bill, and he was not only ably assisted by his race coworkers, but had the encouragement and assistance of his colleagues. The monument was unveiled Sunday, the 11th, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice. Governor Len Small was one of the speakers at the unveiling and he extolled the valor of the personnel that composed the fighting unit. The 370th was one of the few regiments whose colors were decorated with the DeGuerre emblem of France. It is quite far fetched; erecting a monument to commemorate bravery and being mobbed and lynched because one wore the uniform home which was the emblem of his battle to "make the world safe for Democracy." Numbers of Negro soldiers from the South were put to death by mobs in the section because they wore the soldiers uniform. The question has been often asked and never been answered satisfactorily. Why should 120 million people who claim white ancestry fear for their supremacy which they believe is threatened by the negligible minority of 10 or 11 million of people who are non-white. Yet some the rampant colorphobists are so obsessed with the idea that they use every means imaginable to keep the minds of the ignorant inflamed with the idea, that their supremacy as a race is in danger. Of course, no intelligent person can conceive of such. But unfortunately, it is not the intelligent minds which the Negro has to combat but the non-understanding, the ignorant. Bob Lanier, colored boy, 20, stowed away on the "City of New York." Com. Byrd's ship for the Antarctic adventure. He was discovered and sent back from Panama to N. Y. City. One day recently he came limping into San-Francisco, Cal., having hiked most of the way from New-York City, bearing a certificate of good character. He is anxious to get to New Zealand where the expedition is fitting out. He feels sure that if he gets there he will be permitted to join in the adventure. He wants to be the first of his race to stand in the Antarctic Circle. Matt Henson, Negro, stood by Peary's side when he planted Old Glory at the North Pole. The United States forgot Henson when the honors for Peary's feat were being handed out. * * * * * Indian blood in the vice-president; a native Mexican in the Senate; A Negro in the lower house of congress. What more representative? Of course so many of the law makers who are of European descent that they are not noticeable. Although born in Mexico, O. A. Larrazolo, former Governor of Arizona, has been in that State so long that he hardly remembers when he came. A headline in one of the dailies says, Herbert Hoover will show gratitude to "Dixie" for support. The Republican party will use every means to keep open the breach in the solid wall of the Democrat party. In the national elections the breach may not be closed, at least let's hope not. But one thing is sure, and that is, the men who have kept up the nucleus of the party for the past three decades are in the judgment of this writer, doomed to disappointment when it comes to issuing the plums. The voters of the states South, were not slow in emphasizing the fact that they were still DEMOCRATS. The state and congressional party victors is evidence sufficient for that good in the vice-president; a native Negro in the lower house of con- tative? Of course so many of the European descent that they are not no in Mexico, O. A. Larrazolo, former been in that State so long that he h came. A headline in one of the dail will show gratitude to "Dixie" for s arty will use every means to keep op all of the Democrat party. In the Bidding farewell to political subjects, here is one, seeming amusing, hardly possible, barely probable. "Scientists say it is possible to create Synthetic MEN." It is said that chemists have so far developed the protoplastic composition, says Dr. Rhodes, secretary of the British Association of Chemists, that all that remains is to create protoplasm synthetically and to cause life to manifest itself. "If possible, perhaps ONE THOUSAND YEARS from now to create synthetic living beings.' Now, that is what one would call, science running wild. There are too many natural nondescripts in the world already. Of what earthly use could we possibly make out of synthetic folk without brains to follow the direction told. If it were possible to lawfully get rid of some of the incubus that poses as naturally begotten, there might at least be a silver gleam in the dark cloud of the world's misery. New Zealand has repealed its prohibition law. In a referendum a majority of 120,000 was given in favor of licensing system. Something should be done to place the traffic of illicit beverages under a stricter surveillance, and have a punishment commensurate with the crime committed. In the city of Chicago a school youth was murdered in a "Speak Easy" by the proprietor. School children, boys and girls, were inveigled into the dive, which was operated under the guise of an ice cream parlor, allowed to shoot dice and drink "BOOZE." The proprietor claims that he shot in self defense. He said that the youth accused him of cheating and threw a water glass at him. It was said by others that the boy was drunk from the liquor bought in the dive. Two schools are situate within the block. What punishment is adequate for the slayer of that boy? Can the officials who are responsible for the enforcement of the prohibition law be blameless? The State (California) will soon establish a Bureau of Aeronautics. We nominate John Taylor for the position of Aerial Cop. John is often up in the air, and has made a continuous altitude since Hoover went over strong. Air or no air, when it comes to picking the political winners, John is all to the good. Hawkins and Holsey were generous with their services, Nary a cent would either of them accept. That is if the published expenditures of that campaign division is correct. And also according to the published statement, the financial reward of not a few were not of a gigantic nature. The newspapers seemed to get the bulk of the expenditure. There was a matter of four or five million dollars expended, and the allowance of the C. D. was very small indeed. We guess that the radio corporations received the bulk of the millions. * * * * Recently the crack boys be Sunday evening concert at St. band (white) is composed of taken prizes in the national Mrs. Elerbock, who is one of the responsible for the band's app music being rendered, my mind-borship would have done a few when they wanted to purchase it was fought with all of the foe.

The boys band (white) is composed of about fifty pieces. They have taken prizes in the national contests for boys military bands, Mrs. Elerbeck, who is one of the church's energetic workers, is responsible for the band's appearance. While listening to the music being rendered, my mind reverted to what a church membership would have done a few decades past. We remember when they wanted to purchase a melodeon for a church and it was fought with all of the force they used to fight the devil. In fact they termed the melodeon an instrument of the devil, and its proponents as devotees of sin. Now they have pipe organs, fiddles and all of the accessories which not long ago they they termed the devil's lure to hell. Times have changed; people have changed with them; even the church. I guess that most of us will not go much further on the downward path for reason of the music. When has a person an opinion? Is it necessary to agree with one to hold opinion? We claim, that although a person might not agree with us, still his disagreement might be his opinion. HEALTH-O-GRAMS By: DR. C. W. MULLINIKS HEART DISEASE I do not wish to take up space with a discussion of the Pathology of heart disease but to state a few facts concerning the mental attitude of patients suffering from heart disease. As a rule, two-third of the suffering undergone by heart cases is neither physiological nor pathological but mental, or psychological. It frequently happens that we find people doing manual labor who have a much worse case of organic heart trouble than those who are bedridden. Yet the man doing manual labor may tell you he has never suffered any discomfort, whatever, while the bedridden case has to have a narcotic each night to induce sleep. I recently had a case of heart trouble who had no organic trouble in the organ only a slight pressure from an injury. But his history reads like a relief map mostly ups and downs. What was the cause of this? He was told several years ago that he had heart trouble and being naturally nourishen he started to worry and as a consequence he has succeeded in worrying himself in bed once or twice each year for a period of two or three months. It is peculiar that three cases resolve themselves into three classes; one class I have just spoken of the other is the follow who says: "I have to die if I will die doing what I want to." And as a result goes home and does what his physician has told him his heart can't stand, which is equivalent to committing suicide. If your physician tells you that your heart is diseased don't go to the extreme either way but listen carefully to his instructions and carry them out to the letter and by so doing you may more often than not, live out your natural expectancy with very little discomfort. State Republican Committee To Rebuild Church (By The Associated Negro Press) ST. LOUIS, MO., Nov. 21.—The Republican State Committee here will re-build a Negro Church which was burned in Pemiscot County a few weeks ago before the election. This action was decided upon last week in a long distance telephone conference between B. G. Vochies of St. Joseph, chairman of the State Committee, and Dr. E. B. Clements of St. Louis, chairman, Republican National Committee-man for Missouri. A Republican rally was held in the church, a few days prior to election, board of Sacramento, rendered a Andrews Church. The boys about fifty pieces. They have contests for boys military bands, the church's energetic workers, is searance. While listening to the reverted to what a church mem- w decades past. We remember we a melodeon for a church and force they used to fight the devil, on an instrument of the devil, of sin. Now they have pipe or- cessories which not long ago they hell. Times have changed; peo- ven the church. I guess that rather on the downward path for * * * union? Is it necessary to agree the claim, that although a person is disagreement might be his at which Walter Lathen, a speaker from St. Louis, made the principal talk. Shortly after Lathen went to bed that night six sixolver shots were fired into the room where he slept. None hit Lathen, but the furniture was damaged. Later in the night the building where he had spoken was totally destroyed by fire. "We sent a check for $1,500 to the congregation," said Chairman Voorhives. CHICAGO SENDS FIVE NEGROES TO STATE LEGISLATURE CHICAGO SENDS FIVE NEGROES TO STATE LEGISLATURE (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Nov. 20.—The size of the Negro minority in the Illinois general assembly, lower house, was increased by one at last Tuesday's election when William J. Warfield, a valuator in the tax assessor's office, was elected from the fifth senatorial district Others elected were Harris B. Gaines and George Blackwell from the First district and William E. King and Geo T. Kersey from the Third. Kerssey and King have reed terms before. Gaines and Blackwell, both lawyers, are newcomers. Tuesday's election also brought about a redisposition of the infuence behind the various Negro leaders in the so-called black belt. When William Hale Thompson was elected mayor two years ago, it was at a cost of the leadership of Edward H. Wright, state commerce commissioner, who opposed Thompson's election. Dan Jackson, Oscar DePriest and Bishop A. J. Carry were then thrust into the forefront and given the patronage which enabled leaders to develop a following. But Mayor Thompson and his forces have suffered two heavy reverses since his election. The first was in the primary last April when Robert Crowe his state's attorney, was defeated. The second was Tuesday when every candidate from his faction was crushed. Wright, who was stricken seen after Thompson's election, reelected sufficiently to be able to enter the fight this fall as a leader of the colored faction supporting Senator Charles Dennen, opposed to the Thompsonites. Many of his followers lined up behind him. Overflow meetings were held each Friday night for men and women and Miss Ruth McCoo, Wright's private secretary for several years, brought the women of the ward together. Ag election day drew near there were signs of a bitter struggle between the Republican forces led by Wright in support of the Republican candidates and the Republican forces led by DePriest and Jackson who opposed the Republican candidates and sought support for the principal Democratic candidates. Chief among these was the state's attorney. Wright won. Friday, November 23, 1928 The candidate is supported by DePriest and Jackson were overwhelmed. DePriest almost losing his light to be relied to Congress. DePriest's margin of victory in his battle to go to congress was only a scant three thousand votes. He was opposed by Assistant Attorney General William Harrison, Independent, and Harry Ecker, a white Democrat. Harrison received only 5,000 votes. The Democrat got 20,000 and DePriest 23,000. One of the causes generally advanced for DePriest's hairbred escape from d fear is the activity of the Democrat among Negroes during the campaign. Many Negroes voted the straight. Democratic ticket in support of At Smith. Their vote, of course, was lost to DePriest. Add to that the fact that DePriest himself and his workers were urging the voters to scratch their ballots in favor of Democrats and you have another cause for DePriest's poor showing. Hundreds of ballots were spoiled by voters who did not know how to split the ballot properly. The Democratic vote, through unprecedented among Negro s in Chicago, was not unexpected. It amounted, as nearly as can be ascertained at this time, to about thirty per cent of the actual vote, which is a five hundred per cent increase over the colored Democratic vote in other years. The same causes which operated to disturb Negro voters in other sections of the country were active here; dissatisfaction with the republican party's recent program; the feeling that it is ridiculous to vote the same way all the time; and the desire to use the vote to gain more recognition of course. They must also be included the observation that most of the workers among the Democrats were attracted by what they thought were the fancy prices the Democrat offer for work well done. The belief is wide-pread in Chicago at press that the Priest will not be seated in Congress. Unless a special session of congress it called by Hoover after he is inaugurated. Mr. De Priest will not be sworn until December, 1829. In the meantime, it is reasonable to expect that the trial on charge for which he is now under indictment may be held. If he is convicted, there will be no chance for him to serve. It is freed, it is held that the House may still deny him a seat. Shiftlessness the Negro's Only Problem At an enthusiastic meeting of the Pyramid Cooperative Association held Tuesday night at Second Baptist Church, one of the speakers quoted Anthony Overton, president of Victory Life Insurance Company and the Douglass National Bank, both of Chicago, as saying that shiftlessness of the Negro is the Negro's only problem. This statement by Mr. Overton was made on the floor of the 29th Annual Session of the National Negro Business League, held in New York City during the month of August, 1928. "What does Mr. Overton mean," asked the Pyramid speaker, "when he said that SHIFTLESSNESS is the Negro ONLY problem." Mr. Overton meant that the failure of Negroes to take Advantage of their BUYING power, their failure to capture their own trade in their own community, is unworthy of any group of CIVILIZED people living in a materially advanced country like the United States. The Pyramid speakers further emphasized the fact that EQUALITY is not attained by fighting, neither with cues of war nor instruments of the law, but by taking advantage of ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES. The Negroes in America, they further explained are advantageously situated, in that every man of color regardless of his station in life is the same as any other man of color, in the eyes of the economically dominant group. They said Negroes should take advantage of such a situation by cooperatively channelizing their buying power. The Pyramid Cooperative Association is the only organization among Negroes that offers such an opportunity—an opportunity to control our necessities. It is worthy of the support of Negroes because its plans are not only for the present but looking into the fare flung future, even to unborn generations. Those interested may call William Nickerson, Jr. of the Golden State Life Insurance, Company, Humboldt 8312, or Mentis Carrere, Thornwall 8097. These men will gladly grant a personal interview. (By The Associated Negro Press) Natchitoches, La., Nov. 20.—Albert George went on a spree Sunday night and as he usually did when interrogated, proceeded to beat his wife. Fearing further punishment at the hands of the drunken man, the woman went to procure an officer. Returning, they found him dead. Because of theights and quarrels that took place between the man and his wife during these periodic sprees, it was decided to hold a coroner's inquest. The verdict was "death due to heart disease."
