1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 PEONAGECASECONTINUED VOLUME 42 The postage case in which Mrs. Dessie Maharya was haled up before the Labor Commission under the section applying in the premises, was continued on last Tuesday for the second time by Deputy Commissioner F. Young. This particular case is only one of the many cases which have been called to our attention of late. Too frequently Southern white people who have not gotten away from the poignage which exists in the Southern State, go so bold as to transplant the penal lions practice our here where sunshine, flowers and freedom go hand in hand. Therefore we have designated the case of little Hattie Jenkins to be as clear a case of poignage as it is possible to be and should be prosecuted in the Federal Courts, and we fail to see why our California Deputy Labor Commissioner keeps dalying around in the premises and instead of continuances, give some protection to little unsophisticated and unlearned Hattie Jenkins. This girl looks like it and says she is 15 years of age. This Mrs. Maharya found her in the back woods or Georgia, brought her here and has worked her as a servant for many months for 15 hours each day and as payment gave to her $5.00 per month. A kindly disposed neighbor of Mrs. Bessie Mas hairy tipped off the situation for the grave injustice done this helpless child and some of her own people rescued her and brougt complaint before the Labor Commission. Facing the complaint these Southeners lashing with fury about having their hand called, put up the defense that the girl was more than eighteen and had a right to hire out for anything she chose. They exhibited a wire from Albany, Georgia, saying the girl was of age. As a matter of fact no person who would look at this girl will for one moment think she is over the age of 16 years. California should take a firm stand in this situation which is altogether too frequent occurrence under age or over age, it is unlawful, borders on slavery and there is no question but that this case is one of peonage. As we go to press we learn that the N. A. A. C. P. has become interested and without doubt we will see some action in this very serious situation. All that has been asked thus far is that Mrs. Mathain provide transportation to send this girl back to her home where she found her. Pioneer of Early Days of Kansas Goes To His Reward Alfred Kuykendal whose funeral was held from Conner-Johnson's funeral parlor on last Friday was a historic character in the early days of Kansas. He died at the age of 84 years. He had lived in Los Angeles for the past few years, having an invalid wife, he had not taken the opportunity of gaining acquaintance in this section and hence little was known of this notable character. Kuykendal blazed the way for the early pioneers who came to Kansas. He was a man of the highest character and courage. He was probably the first member of our group this side of the Mississippi to hold public office, he was elected as Constable served many years, and was one of the most trusted deputies which Shawnie County ever had. He was prominent in fraternal circles also was ever to the forefront for the things which stood for the advancement of the race along all the various lines of effort. He was buried under the auspices of St. John Lodge. F. & A. M., where he received the highest Masonic honors. Boost Figures Of Three Engaged In Gainful Occupation NEW ORLEANS, LA. Nov14.—The Negro population of New Orleans contributes nearly one-third of the total number of people engaged in gainful occupations, statistics, compiled by the Association of Commerce from the latest United States census reports show. Funeral Services For R H. Hicks Largely Attended --- brotheren, the Elks and Daughter Elks. The Elks turned out in full regalia accompanied by the Elks' band, which played the funeral dirge as the body was entering the church and as it left and followed on in the line of march West on Washington, North on Central to 9th, the funeral procession passing on our 9th street to Evergreen Cemetery. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, the hugs casket was hid virtually in a bower of flowers. The funeral service was indeed beautiful, appropriate solos were sung. The service was in charge of Rev. S. M. Beane the pastor of Hamilton M. E. Church of which the deceased was a member. Rev. Beane reached a most tiring eulogy upon the life and character of Richard H. Hicks. His eulogy was eloquent, forceful and drew a picture of firm devotion to a cause such as had been demonstrated by the deceased. The service of Golden West Lodge was very creditably carried out by appropriate remarks from the Exalted Kuler, J. B. Loving and the reading of 'hanatopsis by Brother Suffon. Resolutions were presented and read by the Elks, the Daughter Elks and the Church Brotherhood. The procession which wended its way to Evergreen Cemetery was more than a mile long. SLAYER OF CHILD FOUND GUILTY (By: A, N, P) New Orleans, La., Nov. 28—After deliberating six hours, a jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter at 11:35 o'clock Thursday night in the case of Samuel Goff, 25, accused of having whipped Louise Morris, the 3-year-old daughter of his common-law wife, so severely July 21, that the child died in Charity Hospital from a fractured spine. Judge, N. E. Humphrey gave the case to the jury in the afternoon. Testimony offered by the state included that of Buster Morris, elder brother of the deceased child, who said he had been whipped the same time by Goff but had recovered. Louisiana Longshoremen in Court Again New Orleans, La., Nov. 28.—Eight members of Local No. 231, Longshoremen's Union B-nevolont Association, applied to the civil district court for a writ of mandamus Saturday to compel the association to issue membership card to them. They claim that the union officers refused to give them cards upon presentation of their dues because they were in arrears, and told them they must make new applications if they wanted to get back into the organization. The petitioners, however, claim that the association was indebted to them, and they told the officers to deduct their dues and give them the rest of the money. Those applying to the court were Rev. Thomas Clark, Gustave Breaux, George Forest, Sr., George Forest, Jr., Edward Marshall, Robert, Willis, Jack Johnson, and W. Turner. Occupational figures are based on persons ten years of age and older. Fifty-five thousand., 32.695 males and 22.305 females, so engaged are members of the colored race. Compared with the total of all races occupied in New Orleans, the Negroes are 70.7 per cent of whole domestic and personal service group; 39.3 per cent of the transportation group; 28.3 per cent of the manufacturing and mechanical industry group; and 12.6 per cent in the trade group. LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1928 Political Scandal in Chicago Furnishes Lessons For Whites and Blacks (Hy, A. N. P.) Chicago, Nov. 28 - Negroes who manufacture an alibi for their own misdeeds out of the scandalous pattern set by their white fellow citizens and white who view with great alarm the high degree of speculation among Negroes who attain responsible positions, were furnished an abundance of food for thought here this week when the payrolls of the sanitary district of the City of Chicago were exposed to public view after a determined effort had been made to maintain a clock of safety about them by the officials responsible for padding them. The sanitary district is a self-governing agency of the county with an annual budget of $60,000,000. The disclosure of its padded payrolls revealed that although a total of $68,253,530 was appropriated for salaries for 1928, there has been spent thus for an aggregate of $9,372,799. Thus the district has credited and paid payroll liabilities of $2,534,268 for which there is no appropriation. The casual in the situation displays itself principally in the fact that hundreds of persons who have been put on the district's payroll at salaries ranging from $2,000 to $20,000 a year, have performed no service; it is conservatively estimated that nearly five millions of dollars have been given away to persons variously termed as investigator, attorneys, and so forth, who did no work, except to use their influence politically at or near the election period. On November 10, four days after the election, 1,147 of these investigators were discharged. Curiously enough, very few Negroes were found to have been recipients of this "easy money" and those who did get their names on the "fortune" rolls obtained rather measley sums. Poremost among them was Atty. A. L. Williams, employed ostensibly as an assistant attorney for the district. He received his pay at the yearly rate of $4,000 a year. Mr. Williams has twice been a candidate for a defendant of the Second Ward, opposing Louis B. Anderson. He is understood to have been partly responsible for the placing of two young women, Miss Juanita Halley and Miss Mauvelyne Carpenter, both at $175 per month. Miss Ruby Williams was also employed in this class as a special "water investigator." Lawrence Newby, a lawyer, was employed as an investigator at $200 a month. Two others, Madison Davis Carey, $250, and Oscar DePriest, Jr. $200, were also on these rolls. Carey is the oldest son of Bishop A. J. Carey civil service commissioner, and young DePriest is the son of Oscar DePriest elected congressman from the First District, November 6. Neverthless, the canal as so far exposed here is enough to indicate that any Negroes in the south who may have tried a little fooling around with federal jobs must have been the smallest kind of pikers. White people ought to be able to see that and, if they don't, Negroes who like to imitate corruption as whites practice it, ought to desist with an acknowledgment that their puny achievements form no more than a ridiculous reflection on the well-established and profitable custom of white public officials who take the public's money and do with it as they please. WHITE SLAYER PLEADS NSANITY WHITE SLAYER PLEADS NSANITY --- (By: A. N. P.) Tallahul, La., Nov. 27.—Sam Stewart, art, a white man, charged with the murder of a Negro girl, with an ax last month, appeared with his attorney, A. L. Sevier, and entered a plea of insanity.

Sevier, coroner of Madison parish, shall form a commission of junacity to inquire into the sanity of the defendant. New Orleans, La., Nov. 26. Occupational studies showing the openings for Negro workers in New Orleans will be the next monographs in the series issued by the High School Scholarship Association. The studies will include surveys of the fields open to the printer, the registered nurse and the beauty worker. These will follow the lines laid down by earlier studies of occupational opportunities in the city, giving the number of years of school essential as a preparation to each occupation, the subjects that it will be of most value to study, the age at which one should enter specific training for the work in question. New Oorlans, the average and possible salaries made by persons in this type of work, and what the openings are. Statistics will be gathered to show whether or not each field is under or overcrowded. Each study will also give a resume of conversations with a number of local employees and persons engaged in each occupation, describing the type of man or woman best suited to enter each field. The booklets will be printed and distributed among the vocational guidance classes in the public school for Negroes. These booklets will be ready for distribution this winter. The material has been collected and they are ready for publications. Shanks To Die in Electric Chair for Murder (By: A. N. P.) Cricako, Ill. Nov. 28—Efforts on the part of the attorneys for the defense to save the life of David Shanks were futile and on Monday night the twenty-four year old slayer of Miss Jennie Mau Constance, Northwestern University student, was found guilty and sentenced to pay for the crime with his life. Shanks received the sentence in the same uninterested manner which he has shown since the trial began. In fact, he paid no attention whatever when foeman of the jury read the verdict: "We, the jury, find the defendant guilty in manner and form as charged and we fix his punishment at death." The layer was led into the courtroom, yawning and rubbing his eyes as if he had just been awakened from a peaceful slumber and continued to do so while the verdict was being read. An effort on the part of a court officer to arouse him to his sensibilities and a realization of what was happening only brought forth a smile which draped his countenance as he was led back to his cell. The attorneys for the defense attempted to prove that the defendant was insane and Drs. William J. Hickson and Allen B. Pond, of the municipal psychopathic laboratory, testified that Shanks was almost an imbeele with the mentality of a three-year-old child. For the state, Dr. Charles F. Read, noted psychiatrist, Dr. Francis J. Gerty of the psychopathic hospital and Dr. H. Douglas Singer, former state alpinist, declared that the defendant was sane. The jury took four ballots: the first was to determine the sanity of the defendant, which was unanimous that he was sane; the second was whether he was guilty, which was also unanimous in the affirmative; the third resulted in a vote of 9 to 3 for death sentence and the fourth was unanimous that he should die in the electric chair. Miss Constance, a white woman, was a special student at the summer school at Northwestern University and was 42 years old. Her body was found behind a hedge on the morning of August 7, near the university. Shanks was arrested a week later when Shanks sold a wrist watch which had been removed from her arm to an Evanston jeweler. He confessed that he had committed the murder and has been in jail since that time. The date of his execution will be set at a later date. (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW JERSEY, LA., Nov. 19.—Marcis Lando is in jail charged with having shot and killed Roy Lando, his brother, white shooting at Maumee Dunn, with whom he had fought.

Lee of Berean Presbyterian, attended the services at Old Baptist Church with their congregations. Scientist Says Mental Abilities of Races Differ (By: A N P) Schenectody, N. Y., Nov. 28.—Theories long advanced by anthropologists, that there is no mental digenesis due to racial traits, were contradicted here Wednesday by Dr. C. B. Davenport of Carnegie institution of Washington in a thesis read before the meeting of the National Academy of Sciences, which has just closed a three-day session. Dr. Davenport presented a report of an investigation he had made in tracing the mental digenesis which distinguished the white, brown and Negro races due to the genes and chomosomes from which they spread. According to his findings after subjecting members of the white and black races to certain psychological tests, "Races differ in innate mental traits as really as trey do in physical characters; that when fullblooded Negroes and whites of the same social status, education, and occupation are compared the Negroes show a superiority over the whites in at least certain parts of the field of sense discrimination, notably in musical tests. In ability to retain and reproduce a series of figures they seem equal if not superior to the whites, but in tests involving some organization, foresight, and planning the whites show a superiority." Charges Woman With Murder New Orleans, La., Nov. 26—Louis Bruneaux, 42, was found dead on the floor of his home, 522 Saratoga Street by police Munday. An ice pick had been driven through his heart. Police are rested Rosie Baptiste, 39, and charged her with murder. According to police Bruneaux and the woman lived together and Monday night she climaxed a quarrel by using the ice pick. Rosenwald Extends Philanthropies To Include Health (By The Associated Negro Press). Chicago, IL, Nov. 28. Extension of the activities of the Julius Rosenthal Fund, her fellow chiefly connected with building Negro rural schools, to include support of medical services to people of moderate means, is the focus of an announcement made by Edwin H. Embree, President of the Tallahas Resnard Fund of Chicago. Micha I. M. Davis has been appointed to the executive staff of the Fund, Director for Medical Services, Dr. Davis is known throughout the country as an authority on hospitals and clinics and as a writer on public health subjects. His recent book "Clinics, Hospitals and Halth Centers" is the standard work in that field. As executive officer of the Committee on Dispensary Development he was responsible for the organization of the Pay Clinic in New York City of the Cornell University Medical College. During the past few years he has been engaged in studies of hospital problems for the Rockfeller Foundation and in private work as consultant to various organizations. Dr. Davis will direct the program which the Fund is planning to undertake in cooperation with the medical profession to improve the organized facilities for medical medical service to the average man. In those activities special attention will be given to pay clinics. William B.

Commenting upon the new work which Dr. Davis is to direct, Mr. Emre President of the Fund, said: "Great loss in human welfare and happiness and in economic efficiency is caused by sickness, much of which can be cured or prevented by modern medicine. While the brilliant achievements of medical science are among the triumphs of the century, the full benefits of recent discoveries and present knowledge do not yet reach the average man. As Dr. William H. Welch, dean of American medicine, puts it: 'The health field has a woefully ineffective distribution services as compared with its enormously effective production service.' It is common knowledge that people of moderate means find it harder to get good modern facilities for diagnosis, and treatment of illness than do the poor and indigent through charity services and free hospitals. The Jallus Rosenwald Fund in planning to study and from time to time to give practical aid to clinics and other organized medical services, including drug clinics." MURDERER PLEADS INSANITY MURDERER PLEADS INSANITY (By: A. N. ) New Orleans, La., Nov. 26. —The first insurgency plea under the provisions of the new criminal code adopted at the last session of the legislature has been filed before Judge N. E. Humphrey by Joseph Andrews, S28 North Gayosoy street, charged with the killing of Viola Lee, on August 24, last. Andrews through his attorney has asked for a sanity hearing, which under the new code will consist of the superintendents of the insane asylums at Jackson, La., and the Pineville Insane Asylum with Coroner George F. Roiling as an examining officer. E The commission finds the defendant insane, he must be confined to one of the two institutions represented on the commission. A PEEK DAYS ago while passing along the great thoroughfare-Central Avenue that connects Los Angeles with the sea, we read a sign that said, "Keep Civil Service out of Politics." As we read the sign we unused and concluded that in order to keep it out we would first have to get it out. IF YOU feel it coming on I mean he "Flip" start hunging to keep it in. Take quinine until your head beats it I swim, then I sh the intimes and for a wee or ten days we eat raw vegetables, fresh fruits, including pumice. Get a plenty of sleep and a sun abundance of fresh air. . . . . . . HAPPINESS can neither be bought for sold and yet it is contagious. If you passable life's way with a smile on your lips and a sweet thought in your mind, you unnusciously give no what they can't buy—good cheer. A MAN'S first duty is to his family. But some men seem to think that any attention in this direction on his part is a supreme sacrifice. He goes to lodge Monday and Tuesday evenings. On Wednesday church meeting. Thursday and Friday evening his other lodges are meeting or there is a smoker and on Saturday evening he has to go to the barber shop; hence, when Sunday evening comes he is too tired to even go to church. Mrs. Doe stands this sort of thing patiently for a long time, but finally complains. The routine of house work with the constant care of little Johnny has grown monotonous. 'She needs recreation. But her complaint registers no pricking of the conscience on the part of Mr. Doe. He stands high in his lodges and church work and knows no reason why his wife should not be duly proud of him. The lack of this attention on the part of some husbands leads the way to the divorce court. ```markdown ``` THE CRIMINAL behind the prison wall committed his crime, went to trial, was condemned, and is now paying his price. But this is not the case with Amee Semple McPherson. She was accused, went to trial, and those who sat in judgment at her trial—said we do not find sufficient evidence to convict this woman, hence we pronounce her free. But because there were those in this community who wanted that this woman's activities should cease, and have hounded her every step of the way. Now, if Mrs. McPherson is a hypocrite, she is the bravest one that we have ever heard or seen, and on the other hand if she is a true shepherd leading her white-robed flock heavenward she is certainly passing through blood, and tears. Anyhow, we can't see why "Bob" Shuler and the rest of the anti-Angelus Temple folk don't go ahead putting over their big religious programs without wasting so much time and energy fighting Almee. There are many problems that affect the true spiritual development of our community in a more detrimental way than the presence of Amee Semple McPherson and Angelus Temple. "Chicago is going to make a political clean up while she is at it. There has been for some time an undercover investigation by some of the newspeapers which they claim has developed the pay rools of the city are heavily loaded with "inspectors." They claim further that these same employees of the city appear on pay days only, and collect from two to three hundred dollars each monthly. it seems that since election day over 1600 political employees have been decapitated, and there is about 1000 more will be guillotined before the Father Time and his scythe pasy out with the year." It would be well if our very own Los Angeles would; since it has made a start follow the example of the Windy City and make a finished job of it, and thus make Los Angeles not only the City Beautiful with regards to climate, but likewise in civic righteousness.

MEDIATION BOARD A. Philip Randolph, President and General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, appeared before the United States Mediation Board and presented a series of cases of intimidations which the Pullman Company has been practising on the porters and maids in the Employee Plan elections. He pointed out to Craftman Windows and Attorney Bennett of the Mediation Board how the Pullman Company was violating both the letter and the spirit of the Railway Labor Act. The purpose of this move was to put these facts on record so that they may be available through the agency of the Mediation Board when occasion arises at some strategic time to trowrt the Pullman Company in its efforts to force the Company Union up the Porters.

RAILROAD TEST CASE ALLOWED INTERVENOR The Supreme Court consented Monday while in session in Washington to permit Donald R. Richberg to file a brief as friend of the court in the St. Louis and O'Fallon Railroad case involving an attack upon the Interstate Commerce Commission's Method of valuing railroads. Richberg represents the national conference on the valuation of American railroads. RAILROADS WIN POINT ON BUSSES Motor stage companies operating throughout the State today lost their second skirmish in the fight to keep railroads from substituting motor coaches for steam trains on small-income feeder lines. The Railroad Commission denied the Auto Transit Company, Pickwick Stages System and the Motor Carriers' Association of California rehearing of recent order in which the commission gave permission to the Southern Pacific company to abandon steam service on several of its short lines in the Santa Cruz-Monterey territory and put motor coaches in operation instead. Motor stage companies contended the Mentorcy Peninsula is adequately served by existing lines and the action of the commission is equivalent to allowing entrance of competition into a field fully developed and adequately protected. As in its previous order, the Railroad Commission rejected the contention, together with several others of supplementary nature. Motorization of steam lines, by the decision, is held to be nothing more nor less than a substitution of existing service. The effect is considered a victory for railroads operating in the State and is expected to be followed by several additional applications. TWO RAILROADS TO USE PLANES Two additional railroads are planning to establish air rail service. The Illinois central has contracted with the Robertson aircraft corporation for operation of an air and rail service between Chicago and St. Louis. The Southern Railway is negotiating with air route operators for a Washington New-York line connecting with the railroads northern terminal at Washington. --- HERE AND THERE Coders in the freight and passenger car division of the railway equipment market for the week were in a volume substantially larger than usual.

Drew, president of the Woman's Convention, has a large following of earnest working almost silent but surely effectively and are bringing to pass many good things in the educational and missionary fields. It is largely through the efforts of the women that Arkansas Baptist College and the 22nd secondary schools are maintained. In a survey made by the Associated Negro Press through this department, much information has been obtained from the principal cities of the nation upon the state of Negro business and industry. In this and subsequent articles, the writer hopes to make that information available to the readers. (1) this column and give at the same time a brief analysis of the fact as they effect our general economic progress. It is our hope that the data thus presented will assist in detemining the direction of further business development and stimulate a friendly rivalry between cities for leadership in the field of commercial activity. Acknowledgement is hereby made of the splendid cooperation given by those individuals who helped to compile the statistical information received through questionnaires sent out by this department. It is our sincere desire that your efforts will greatly assist in lifting the Negro race from its present status in the world of commerce and trade to a place of commanding importance. Our first report follows: Survey of Clumbus, Ohio, Population 1920-22, 181 in the field of retail trade.

This survey discloses the fact that Columbus has no bank to serve the needs of some 350 small business enterprises, few grocery or markets, no clothing store, no shoe store, and no organized trade groups. The professions are well represented, but the number engaged in city and federal employment is not large as compared with several other northern cities. More initiative and more successful organization among groups will increase the number of retail enterprises and also enlarge the field of civil employment.

SMITH MANAGER CHURCH NEWS Cleveland Gets Baptist Sunday School Congress (By The Associated Negro Press) Nashville, Teen., Nov. 26.—After canvassing the invitations from the several citers, the Congress officials, in session here today, awarded the next session of the Sunday School to Cleveland, O. The dates fixed for the 192 Session of the Summer Sunday School of Methods, as this movement is called, will be June 5th to 10th. The invitation was extended by the Baptists of Cleveland, headed by the Rev. Ernest Hall, D. D., the pastor of the East Mount Zion Baptist Church He attended the last session A. B. JUHN MIL ASST. MANGER held at Louisville, and it will be recalled that he made an announcement that Cleveland invite the Congress. The cities that were contesting Cleveland, for the honor of entertaining of this, the largest denominational group of young folk in America, were: Chicago, Illinois, San Francisco, California; Jacksonville, Florida; Fort Worth, Texas; Asheville, N. C.; and Shreveport, Louisiana. The Congress Secretary, in making the announcement of the action taken by his Board, declared that it was one of the closest contests that they have been called upon to decide. He stated further that he has made application for an excursion rate of one and one half fare for the round trip on the identification certificate plan for all Sunday School Congress messengers and dependent members of their families. Notices of the selection of Cleveland were immediately sent to Dr. Hall to be announced by the local ministers through their churches and to the daily papers of the City of Cleveland. YOUNG PEOPLE PLAN INNOVATION YOUNG PEOPLE PLAN INNOVATION SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL OF METHODS TO BE PUSHED FOR CLEVELAND, OHIO SESSION Cleveland, Ohio. (Special)—More definite and enlarged plans are now under way for the Sunday School Congress that was awarded to this city by the directors of the Young People's Movement in their executive session held in Nashville, Tennessee this month. The Roy, Ernest Hall, D. D. pastor of the East Mt. Zion Baptist Church, has already called the leading ministers of the city together in a conference looking toward the enlargement of the Sunday School Congress plan as it effects the local group. Since he is a part of the great machinery, being the conductor, in charge of the Bible Conference Extension Section, and since he has been identified with it for a number of years, his information as to the needs of the movement exceeds that of any other local pastor where they have met in a number of years. Such is the opinion of well informed Baptist leaders on the subject. The Congress Secretary, Henry Allen Boyd, located at Nashville, who has served for nearly twenty-five years as the motor power behind this group of young people, is expected to visit Cleveland the early part of December, as he is one of the executive committee of the International Council of Religious Education that is to hold its session in the Cleveland Hotel during the early part of December. While he is here Dr. Hall believes that finishing touches will be put upon some early arrangements, because they are planning to have at least five thousands in attendance, actual Sunday School workers and B. Y. P. U. members. The Sunday School Congress slogan, "Every Member Out of Every Family in Some Sunday School," will also be the general theme throughout the week of this "intensive study" Fourteen sections, with well-trained conductors, two uniformed religious brass bands and an entire regiment of Boy Cadets, supported by local chorus of three hundred voices, are just some of the things that Dr. Hall says will be put on in Cleveland. The coming of the Congress Secretary is awaited eagerly here, because Dr. Hall is planning, so he claims, to have him address a meeting consisting almost exclusively of pastors, Sunday School superintendents, teachers and B. Y. P. U. officials. "The anouncement as to the exact time of the meeting is to be made later on," says Dr. Hall. Roanoke Baptist Church Entertains State Con. of Arkansas (By The Associated Negro Press) HOT SPRINGS, ARK, Nov. 17 The Arkansas Baptist State Convention held its first annual session last week in Hot Springs, National Park Ark, and made history for itself and generations. The session began Wednesday A. M. and throut the week fully 600 delegates were in attendance.

McLaughlin, when he gave his welcome words included those in his address: "Gentlemen if you get in trouble and I cannot get you out, I will get in with you."

The main objective of the Convention and its Auxiliaries, is the development of the Arkansas Baptist College, which is located at Little Rock. This meeting closed a financial drive for the college and $6,000 were raised and turned over to the trustees. Prof. S., P. Nelson, A. B., A. M. Ph. D. has been president for two years and is working hard to put the College in "A" class. A Science Hall and Library are needed.

MIXED CONGREGATION IN A SOUTHERN CITY Roanoke Baptist Church holds and enviable place in the hearts of the citizens of Hot Springs, National Park and the thousand of annual visitors. No Church of the race has in its congregation as many millionaires and vacationists as Roanoke. It is a southern city but carries a mixed congregation. Roanoke owes its unique position to its former pastor, Dr. J. T. Hill who was pastor for ten years who left a short time ago to take up the pastorate in Richmond, Va., a deep loss is felt by the members and friends. The church membership is one thousand. The office is located in the heart of the city and has every modern improvement, seating capacity $500 property valued over $250,000. The church is carried on through 12 departments, each of which is directed by a trained worker. Rev. J. H. Goldston, a member of the church, is acting as pastor until a successor to Dr. Hill has been secured. Mr. S. S. Sims, a Chairman of the Deacon Board, Mr. D. C. Murphy is Church Clerk and deacon. Many others deserving mention. Including Chairman of the trustees board, Hon John L. Webb, deacon and Supt. of the Sunday School. And an associate deacon, Hon William H. Falconer, who is a conscientious and tireless worker. Great things are being predicted for the historic Ronkok Church. Colored Preacher Slays A Man in Harlem, Ky. (By: A. N. P.)

Negroes Cast One Tenth Of The State's Vote (By The Associated Negro Press) Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 26 — Polling more votes than at any previous election the colored voters throughout the state, are credited with having one tenth of the votes in the recent election Negroes showed great interest in the issue, invoked and many took advantage of the last minute registration and were all ready to enter the fray. Historical and statistical are in mark of the campaign carried on principally by neighborhood meetings for the presidential candidates, or for the municipal or state candidates. Although it looked at first as if the Negroes would desert Hoover, in his own states from the prosecution talk yet less than one third of the colored votes cast were for Smith. With J. P. B. Rans, Assemblyman Fred Roberts, Wood Wilson, and other strong leaders on the Hoover side were the force of the hard-working politician Liss. Alexander in charge of Dumont on the headquarters, the battle was waged hotly amid the closing of the pls. almost 20,000 Negroes voting. Negroes throw their strife behind Johnson for U. S. Senator because of the kindly telling they have received for him and Cradle elected a senator, received the iii support. The interest in the race for Assemblyman centered around Hubbard, colored candidate in the 73rd district who entered the race against Dick and Stockwell, whites, when two other colred candidates, Dones, and Alston were eliminated in the primaries. Hubbard ran, second to Stockwell, who won with 8,754 votes to Hubbard's 3,614, and Dick's 597.

What would happen if an employee of a bank should tell its patrons to do their banking business elsewhere, or if a salesman in a store should whisper to the customers that prices were lower and quality higher at another mercantile establishment? In either case the disloyal employee would lose his job and the respect of all. But isn't the citizen who trades out of town just as disloyal to his home town as the employee who deprives his employer of business? Those who buy by mail or go away to shop are telling the patrons of their town that they could do better elsewhere. They take away from the home town merchants not only their own business but that of others. Like bargain-hunting and window-shopping, buying at home, with practice, becomes a good habit just as out-of-town trading grows upon one as a bad habit. And it is feared that most mail order and other foreign buying is from force of habit rather than from any hope of profit or gain in satisfaction. Seldom is there a legitimate excuse for trading elsewhere than at home. What would be the dividends payable to Los Angeles if every citizen on December 31, 1929, could truthfully say he or she had not violated a community resolution for 1929 to "buy at home"? The extra dividends that would accrue to the benefit of the community and each of its citizens would be more business for its merchants, more money in circulation, more employment and more prosperity for all.

A Thanksgiving without time for an anachronism and a day of leisure obtained by fall. Thanksgiving Day finds this nation and a great part of the world under great obligation to observe this anniversary. However, except for the American colonies in foreign cities, the day will be noted almost exclusively in the United States, for it is essentially an American product, one of the heritages which has come down to present generations from the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay. The day runs no risk of lack of observance in the United States. Such risk as it runs are those which fringe the borderland of sacrelege rather than invade the heart of reverence and sincer appreciation for the Heaven-sent blessings of the year. In such references to Thanksgiving as "Turkey Day" one sees a tendency to lose sight of the great purpose of Thanksgiving. The real essence of the day is best revealed by letting the mind roam back to those early days of the Colonists who, despite meager crops, attacks from hostile savages, uncertainties of the future and bitter physical suffering from the weather, bent to their kness in prayerful acknowledgement to God of the bounty that He gave them. That is the spirit of the ideal observance of the modern Thanksgiving. It is not a day of penance or of mourning. Its program includes time for secular as well as sacred pursuits. The great steaming dinner may still be eaten, the football game attended and the more common social amonities observed, but sacrilege, ingratitude come perilously close if such activities dominate the day and leave no time for that refreshing and dutiful acknowledgement of the year's gifts from the Great Benefactor of mankind. A Thanksgiving without time for thanks is an anachronism and a day of leisure obtained by false pretense On the showdown, a crook is always shown up.

WHEATON If Mr. Andrews, superintendent of the public schools of Chicago, is going to Athens to study the Socrates method of imparting knowledge, he may bring a boon when he returns. Socrates had a way of teaching which our modern ideas have made obsolete. When a pupil tried to answer a question, it caused him to think. Think for himself: Our modern plan is to have the teacher think to rthe pupil. The pupil absorbs the thought of the teacher, and has no initiative of his own. Take nine out of ten youngsters from the eighth grade and you will find that they will tell you that "teacher said so." If it is possible to make people think for themselves there is hope for the future. The great trouble with government today is, we delegate all of the thinking to a few. We are either too lazy or too busy to think for ourselves. Some day when the danger is realized we will wake up and find that we have dilly dellied so long that we are incapable of thinking direct. Let us hope that Superintendent McAndrews will be able to inject some of the methods of Socrates into our educational system. They still insist on laying the blame for the Omaha hatchet attacks on a Negro. They have corralled about every Negro in the city of Omaha an dthey have been inspected by the woman who claimed that she was assaulted by a "light-complexioned Negro". So far none of the men who have been arrested were identified as the assailant. Why the Negro? Is it not possible that the light complexion could have been worn by some other than a Negro? It might be just possible that the Negro trail is a false one and the real culprit is laving plans for another assault without fear of his identity being discovered. We have in mind the recent case in St. Louis, Mo., where a white man masqueraded as a Negro assaulting women and creating a reign of terror. When he was detected in committing a crime and shot by the police, they were surprised to find that the black WASHED OFF. Who over the criminal, white or black, it is hoped that his apprehension may be soon. Does it pay not to play? We have in mind the chairman of the board of directors of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, George H. Jones. It is said that until the age of 50, he was a slave to his work, and then was forcibly dragged to the golf links. He was the victim of circumstances in youth which formed a habit which caused him to die early. As a boy he worked 12 hours a day for thirty-five conts a day. At his death he was one of the highest salaried men in America; but he had no sense of recreation. Work: a slave to work. Work that has contributed nothing to the progress of mankind. He was handicapped through life by being unable to relax to its beauties. He attained a goal but what did it avail; an early death just when he should have been enjoying the fruits of his labor. All work and no play only makes Jack the dull boy, but is more than liable to cloud Jack's sky. In Santa Rosa, Cal., they captured the man who has been terrorizing the community by assaulting women and appearing nude in public. He confessed to the assault of a woman with a club. Says that he intended to knock her unconscious then perform the heroic act by carrying her to her home. He expected by that means to gain notoriety, and possibly detract the hunt of the terrorist from himself. It was a splendid thing that the woman assaulted did become hysterical and make accusations which might prove imaginary. A Chicago court has convicted 15 men in the voting fraud investigation in the "bloody twentieth" ward. The investigation was started after the slaying of Octavious Granady, Negro lawyer, and a political opponent of Morris Eller, erstwhile boss of the ward. Testimony brought out at the trial of the gangsters showed that the Ellers had run the ward with an iron hand. Granady was slain with a machine gun in the hands of Eller henchmen. But to the disgust of all concerned the gangsters were let off with nominal fines ranging from $400 to $1,250. The two Ellers, father and son, have been granted separate trials on similar charges. It is rumored that the investigation will move over to the Southside wards. Just as was to be expected: California's congressional delegation have nearly all departed for the activities at the National Capital. Senator Hiram Johnson, who carried California with the biggest majority ever, given a candidate for like office, Congressman Charles Curry, whose constituents signally honored him by a great big vote, Phil Swing, co-worker in the Boulder Dam Bill, and most of the others, have hastened to their duties at Washington. It is conceded, even by the opponents of the boulder Dam measure, that the Bill will pass and go to the president for his signature before the ending of the short session. The president elect and his opponent are both having the time of their lives. Of course we look with envious eyes on the Elect. What with a big warship to fish from, and big guns to roar their salutes, and the Vivas! of the Senors and miles of the Senoritas; shuicas: its worth while to run for the high office now. More HONORS attached than in the days of yours. We might claim for simplicity in the induction to office and banning the inauguration ball, but we can make up for those little things by having the pomp and parade under the guise of friendly visits to foreign countries. Chicago is going to make a political clean up while she is at it. There has been for some time an under cover investigation by some of the newspapers which they claim has developed the pay rolls of the city are heavily loaded with "inspectors." They claim further that these same employees of the city appear on pay days only; and collect from two to three hundred dollars each monthly. It seems that since election day over 1,600 political employees have been decapitated, and there is about 1,000 more to be guillotined before Father Time and his scythe pass out with the year. Down in Memphis, Tenn., one round dozen traffic officers were suspended for THREE DAYS for throwing out a smoke screen. The heavy (?) penalty was placed on them for breaking up an Armistice day parade. Those patriotic policemen evidently did not believe that the Negroes of Memphis should participate in celebrating the day when they, with the rest of the men who served in the trenches during the World War, were told to cease hostilities, so when they rode as escort at the head of the parade they laid down such a barrage from the exhausts of their motors that the Negroes who were following had to disband. Memphis authorities in order to show that they did not countenance such untoward proceedings, gave them the drastic penalty of a THREE DAY SUSPENSION. While president elect Hoover is basking in the tropical sun of the southern seas, Gov. Al Smith is catching fish and golfing in Georgia and Mississippi. Both need a rest, and recreation after their strenuous race for the occupancy of the White House. While in Georgia the Governor and his party visited the Georgia State College (Negro) and was enthusiastically received by the students. The students sang for the party, and the Governor acknowledged the greeting with a few words, saying "I have come south to get a little rest along with a little of the warmth of your sunshine. I had a very good round of golf this morning and your singing has added to the happiness of my day." On leaving J. J. Raskob handed to President Hubert of the college a small wad of billle which proved to be five $100 notes. Much ado has been made over the heroism displayed by a Negro, who in the face of death rescued a number of white men, women and children drowning in the cold waters of the Atlantic after the sinking of the Vestris off the Virginia coast. Why on earth should such great admiration be made over a deed of heroism enacted by a Negro? IT IS AS COMMON FOR A NEGRO TO FACE DANGER UNAFRAID AS IT IS TO DO ANY DUTY. The list of Negro men who have, in the face of danger, played well their part is a long one. The one sad thing, is, that just as soon as selfish men get through commercializing that valor, they are forget. No sooner had the report of the life saving deed of Licorice got to the ears of the amusement promoters than he was importuned to appear on the stage. At the present he is telling his story from the stage of the HIPPO-DROME, New York. There was, or is, an aged Negro who was a faithful and attentive servant for years who became seriously ill, and only a blood transfusion would give him a chance for life. A white youth, moved by a feeling of humanity, volunteered; and gave a pint of his blood to the aged servant. It was a fine act, but here is where the hub comes in. Will that pint of blood which was transfused from the white youth to the Negro make any difference in the social status of the Negro? Because if it had been reversed; would not one drop of the Negro's blood transfor the WHITE youth to the status of a NEGRO? According to the law is would have been so. Men make peculiar laws to suit their peculiar ends. It would be well to watch carefully the effect which the transfusion of "superior" (?) blood will have on the patient. Talk about your thrills: Well, when Stanford tied the score in the big game by a touchdown and one point would win the game, 90,000 breathless people on tip toe looking at the boot of Winnik as he was to try for the "convert". 90,00 men and women, boys, and girls, old grads and young grads of Leeland Stanford and the University of California were in suspense. Convert the touchdown and Stanford wins by one point. Fail, and California will lose no prestige. It was worth a life time; the study of that sea of faces, bodies tense with expectation. You could almost hear the intake of breaths as Winnik drew to kick, and when the kick was blocked it seemed as if the sudden relapse of the former tenness was so great that the very atmosphere was dulled. Then when Stanford groaned; California cheered. Because there was but one minute to play and the Bear was not vanquished by the Axe. It is an old navy superstition that it is unlucky to have a woman on board a war-ship. The good ship Maryland, carrying the president elect on his good will tour to the Latin American people, also has broken the tradition by having as a passenger the wife of the distinguished messenger of good tidings. In the Gulf of Tehauntepec the Maryland encountered a terrific gale which made it rather uncomfortable for "land lubbers." If there are any of the old time "Salts" aboard every little untoward incident which might savor of "bad luck", will be attributed to the presence on board of what they would term an interloper THANKSGIVING: Soon the President of the United States will broadcast to the nation a proclamation bidding all to give thanks to the Omnipotent for the varied and many blessings bestowed. He bids the nation to give thanks that it is free from semblance of strife, that no war clouds threaten our peace. There must be given thanks for the general prosperity of the people, for their material welfare and spiritual content. Be thankful for the granaries, bursting with the products of the soil and for the cornucopia which has poured out, for the nation's wealth, its fruits from the orchards. The herds which room the hills and flocks that grazed in the meadows. For all of these the nation gives thanks. And we might add: Thou Great Giver of All Good there is in this nation one tenth of its population, which, while thanking Thee for the many manifestations of thy goodness, would doubly thank Thee if this nation which Thou has enriched with so many material blessings would follow the precepts of Thy Son and practice the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. We would thank Thee if Thou would plant into the hearts of the rulers of the nation that unless the edict of the founders of the nation that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL is made a reality, the prosperity rests on a weak foundation. HEALTH-O-GRAMS HEALTH-O-GRAMS BY: DR. C. W. MULLINIKS WOMEN'S DISEASES Outline, a great many ill designated to this line of work are due to uncleanliness. Not that people mean to be unlucky, it is often due to the fact that they have not been taught the proper hygiene morsureise. A douche of tepid waiter each day would serve to keep down infections which later cause serious consequences. Of course some, of these cases have progressed to the point where surgery is the only means of relief, but the ones I am trying to interest are those who have not progressed so far.

I have recently had a number of cases who had been told nothing but surgery would do them any good, which was a mistake on someone's part. Be- cause all these cases are apparently normal now with their organs which nature gave them in their normal place carving on their normal function. I do not, wish to leave the impression that natural therapeutics will cure all gynaeological cases, because it won't. However, if do know that as a form of therapy in these cases it is far ahead, of any other.

Dr. DuBois Speaks At Allen University Dr. DuBois Speaks At Allen University (Py: A. N. P.) DuBois, editor of the Crisis, and noted writer, addressed a large audience here Friday night in the chapel of Allen University. The audience was composed of students of the university and citizens of both races who listened with rapt attention to the discurse. Selecting as his subject, "The Achievements of the Negro in the Literary Field." Dr. DuBois reviewed the history of the Negro race in literature, singling out the outstanding accomplishments in this field of endeavor, emphasizing especially the words Friday, November 30, 1928 Young Fights For School For Negro Children (By The Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Jan. Nov. 26. "Negro Children in lives as gr at arium upon Missouri as has that of the whites. " declared N. B. Young of Jefferson City, Missouri, former president of Lincoln University, in an interview with an Associated Negro Press corre- spondent last week. "As State Inspector of Negro Schools," I recently ten into a situation in a certain school district that is so typical that I am inclined to call attention to it. I think if such facts are given to the public something remedial will eventually be done in a legislative way." Prof Young related. "In restraints to a call from the district in question, I went there and had conferences with patrons and school officials. I found that there had been no public school for Negro children in that district for a great many years, although there had been more than enough Negro children for a school under the law. And yet, contrary to the law, a school was denied then because the people of the district refused to authorize the erection of a building. The law provides no effective resource in such a case." "The conference with the dominant member of the board brought out the interesting opinion that it would be a simpler solution of the situation for the Negro family to move to a district where school facilities are already provided for Negroes, then for the poor of the district to impose additional tax upon them residents, especially since the Negroes were not for holders. As an alternative the Negro children could attend school segregated away in an adjoining county where an occasional make-shift school is kept for Negro children. This alternative was relied upon the teacher of the school refused to teach them any long term because they were non-residents of the county. LAW INEFFECTIVE "And so it comes to pass that in that district, as in many others, the Negro children are denied free school opportunity, and that too, in defiance of the law. The pres. in laws seem to be ineffective in compelling unwilling district officers to provide school facilities for Negro children. In this and in other instances they are willing to lose certain State funds, fortable by non-compliance with the law. They regard such a loss as a real gain, since the amount forfeited is less than the amount required to support a Negro school. "It was indeed depressing to see that group of children literally growing up in ignorance here in Imperial Missouri and to know that there are hundreds, in fact, thousands in like situations. This instance of denial of common schools would not be so distressing if it were not so typical. EMPHATIC INJUSTICE "As if to make emphatic the injustice of the case in an adjudicating district a school has been upheld each year for one student a white boy it is true that the lone white boy has as great a claim upon Missouri for educational opportunity as any group of white children in the state. It is also true that that group of Negry children has as great a claim upon Missouri as has that white boy. "The Lower House of the Fifty Fourth General Assembly passed a bill (HB120) which was killed in committee or the Upper House, that provided safeguards against such a situation. It is hoped that those Missourians who believe in racial and educational fair play will so to it that the next General Assembly will enact this or a similar bill into law and thus guarantee equal educational opportunity to Missouri children regardless of race or habitant." Mrs. Nelson Addresses High School Groups Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 26 -The American Inter-Racial Peace Committee has been cooperating with the Committee on the Interests of the Colored Race of the Friends' of Philadelphia to the extent of lending the services of its executive secretary to address high school assemblies. Miss Alice Dunbar-Nelson addr.ssed the Kensington High School on October 30h, on the subject, "The Contribution of the Negro to American Life." The students were enthusiastic about the new concept of history presented them. On November 13th, Mrs. Nelson spoke to the students of the Lansdowne High School on Negro Poetry from Phyllis Wheatley to Countee Cullen." of Phyllis Wheatley, Paul Cuffe, William Nelson, Frederick Douglas, Chestnut, Paul Laugence Dunbar, Countee Cullen, and many others. He urged the students to make a special study of literature and to develop their talents in this direction. "Publishers are anxious" said the speaker, "to use manuscripts from young Negro writers, now more than ever, and many of the young writers are making names for themselves. We want to live and interpret life. In doing so we must realize the fact that we are not getting all out of life that we may but if we do our best we will serve well our race and country in preserving records that mean much to our history." Plan Home Coming Reception For Baby Joe Gans VOLUME 42 Plan H University of Southern California Athletic Activities BY: ALFRED F. WESSON Coach Howard Jones' "power play," the name given to most of the long series of plays that make up the University of Southern California's running attack on the gridiron, will get a supreme test when the Trojans meet the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, December 1 at the Los Angeles Coliseum, and critics of the pigskin art who have been saying that the power play is losing its effectiveness will know then whetbr or not their criticism is correct. Contrary to the implication of its name, the power play does not mean that beefy, powerful men are necessary to execute it. On the contrary, precuseness in timing, deception and speed are the chief elements of the play, but the name "power" has been given to it because spectators have noticed what appeared at times to be a whole horde of interferers piling through a hole ahead of the man with the ball. Like Kunte Rocke of Notre Dame, Jones selects his backfield men for their speed, alertness and fighting qualities, rather than weight, and generates from these speed merchants the power that has made his plays famous. Lloyd Thomas, right half, weighs 163; Saunders, fullback, 175; and Williams, quarter, 158. Put this backfield together with Charley Boren, 175-pound running guard who is an important cog in the interference machine, and the average is 171, heavy enough for average college men but nothing startlingly gigantic for football players. The line averages but a few pounds more, and the discerning critic of the game will notice that it is therefore not plain bulk but the method of using fast men that puts the power in the Jones play, for the Jones interference is actually one of the strongest battering rams in the game and really does use more men than most coaches put ahead of the ball packer. While critics of the Jones system admit that it was the power play that beat Utah Aggies, Oregon State, St. Mary's, Occidental and Arizona, by big scores this season, they point out that the Trojans were held scoreless in the 0-1 California game and that it was a forward passing attack that defeated Stanford, 10-0. On the other hand, defenders of the power play point out that in the California games the soggy condition of the field at Berkeley made an attack that must have accurate timing and speed practically impossible to sustain, because before the offensive was carried along very far someone was certain to slip and wreck the play with a loss of yardage that could not be made up before the fourth down. They point out also that two substitutes unaccustomed to their positions, Tony Steponovich at running guard and Marger Apsit at halfback, were run LOWEST RATES IN LOS ANGELES ning interference and could not have worked any way, leaving the Hot Stove League members plenty of room to argue either way. That the power play has lost it effectiveness was proved by Stanford stopping Williams at the line of scrimmage on numerous occasions, the critics point out, but then Jones' defenders claim that to stop him the Cards moved up their secondary defense and left open a wide area into which the Trojans effectively passed their way to victory. To stop the power play, the opponent must center his strength on one place, weakening himself some other place and giving the Joneses a vital spot to attack, is the claim of those who are admittedly fond of the Southern California style of play. Just how correct are such beliefs of fans will be easier to determine after that battle with the Irish December 1. "BLACK CARL" IS STRICKEN (By: A. N. P.) New York, Nov. 27,—"Black Carl" known to thousands of theater goers as assistant to Herman, the Magician, is in the Bellevue Hospital here seriously ill. Ed Johnson, his real name, was known to many for his gret work on the stage years ago and more recently as the stage manager for Miller and Lyles in their great hit, "Shuffle Along" and even later as the head carriage man for the Metropolitan Opera House. Johnson was seriously stricken with apoplexy while talking to friends in front of the Lafayette Theater on Seventh Avenue here and was instantly removed to the hospital where his condition is still serious. He was probably the most widely acquainted colored man on the stage and was honored by all who knew him. Lou Daro Wants Colored Wrestlers Lou Daro, famous wrestling promoter, is anxious to book some colored wrestlers. He asked the A. N.

The story, directed by Jack Conway of "Twelve Miles Out" fame, is a vivid romance of police and ganster warfare in New York. Chaney, heading a band of detectives, fights a machine gun duel with a gangster army, participates in a running gun battle across the roofs of the city, and intimate details of such police practice as the "shadow box" and third degree, fingerprinting and other identification tricks of detectives are shown in an inside view of police procedure. Through the succession of thrills runs a pretty love story between Chay v. the heroine, Anta A Page, and Carroll Nye, who plays a youthful gangster. The cast includes Mae Busch, last seen with Chaney in "The Unholy Three." Richard Carle, former famous musical comedian star, Lydia Yeamans Titus. Polly Moran, Clinton Lyt, and others of note.

Friday, November 30, 1928 USIC VOLUME 42, NO. 26 New Motion Picture Producing Company Opens Offices Offices have just been opened in the Blodgett Bldg., at 2510 So. Central Ave., by the Liberty Motion Picture Company, which proposes to produce a series of all colored motion pictures. The company has secured the services of an exceptionally well known successful director who has been making motion pictures during the past seventeen years. A new vogue seems to have gone into effect recently as there have been many more colored people used lately than at any time heretofore. Several of the big companies, such as Universal, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Fox, Paramount, and First National, have either already made, or contemplate making pictures in which great numbers of colored people are used. 4 DAYS COMMENCING SUNDAY DECEMBER 8th GANGS!

Barnett If You Fall To Read—THE CALIFORNIA C. Mosby, Mgr. "Common Clay" New Lincoln Attraction GRIPPING MELODRAMA Powerful, tense drama, will hold the Lincoln Theater stage tonight when the famous Lafayette Players are seen in an elaborate production of "Common Clay," one of the greatest melodramas ever written for the American stage. "Common Clay" is not the ordinary type of play usually turned out by present day writers. It tells a powerful, absorbing story, in a thoroughly convincing manner, and holds the attention of an audience from the rise of the first curtain. As its title indicates, "Common Clay" is a story of human emotions—human desires—and human folly. It revolves around a household employed in a wealthy home, who falls madly in love with the son of the house, hold. Because the girl is desperately striving to rise from her "Common Clay" environment, she yields to the impassioned pleas of the youth in a moment of madness, with the inevitable result. The son, backed by his wealthy aristocratic parents, seeks to deny his responsibility wren the baby is born, and the case is finally taken to court by the housemaid. Then begins one of the bitterest court battles ever fought as the snobish parents strive to save their son's good name, and the girl fights to win a name for her baby. A noted attorney is called in to defend the pampered son of the house, and the scene where the lawyer rufflesly tears the housemaid's reputation to shreds, forms one of the most important sequences of the entire play. For it is here that the attorney suddenly learns certain facts about the girl he has scathingly denounced as "Common Clay," that are startling in their intensity. It is needless to point out what drama results from such a situation. Nor is it necessary to add treat the famous Lafayette Players rise gloriously to the demands for brilliant characterizations, made upon each and every member of the cast, throughout the three acts of "Common Clay." The two leading roles are of course taken by Evelyn Preer and Edward Thompson, the former appearing as the persecuted housemaid, and Thompson playing the son of the "idle rich." Tre defense attorney is played by Lawrence Criner, and other favorites who appear in the cast of "Common Clay." include Cleo Desmond, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Laura Bowyman, Monte Hawley, Charles Olden and Arthur Ray.

CHILDREN SHOULD BE NAMED SCIENTIFICALLY, NOT AC-CORDING TO PARENTS' WHIM Hero worship and religious fervor are responsible for the names scme children must bear throughout life. Fancy names were in vogue years ago and many of those names such as Winnie, Mamie, Nettie have brought their owners much grief for science says that names with letters, S, N, T, or I in them bring difficulties to the person who has them for nine years. You can figure out your own name mathematically. For instance you begin counting from the time you are born, being in the first letter of your name from then until you are nine years old; in the second letter until you are eighteen, etc. You can figure out just how old you were when these destructive letters which afflict your health, finances or money matters, came in your name." So stated Orcella Rexford, Bachelor of Science, University of California, world famous lecturer and Name and Number expert before a large gathering Tuesday evening at the La Vada Apartments, when she spoke on "What's in a Name?" Miss Rexford was the guest of the Sinclair-Murdock Musical Association, under whose anpies she is to hold a series of free lectures beginning Friday, November 30 at 8 P. M. at the La Vada Apts. "In the numerical equation of a person's name can be found the key to their future as well as the past, for it will show them how to do what they want to do, how to be happy and successful, and it is so easy that a child can do it once it knows how smiled Miss Rexford. The editor wondered just how he would figure out and Miss Rexford explained his name to him in the following manner: "You out down the numbers from 1 to 9 and the letters of the alphabet as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z To analyze a name you must take the complete name given at birth, and the birthday. The vowels are used for the inner self. Place the numbers over the vowels and add them up, next place all the numbers under the letters of the name. Add the date, month and year of birth together. Use the name as it was given at birth. 6 3-11 1 3-4 11 plus 4 equals 6 Joseph Blackburn [inner self] 161578 231322395 28 20 equals 4-expression 10 October 2 1568 10 2 23 equals 8-life lesson 5 Joseph Bass 161578-2111 28 5 5 equals 6-signature 10 The 11 makes him an idealist, spiritually minded, creative and a genius, the 4 makes him a hard worker, practical, analytical and detailed. This number 4 is repeated in his expression and would make him very busy, reliable, honest and responsible. He must use care that he does not work. He would demand proof of all things. The name of Bass brought him more freedom, changes and attracted him to the literary field as 5 likes anything pertaining to words and news. His life lesson being 8 would attract him to money, success and publishing. About fifty-four he came into a new period in his life governed by changes, travel and many ups and downs. He is in a very good period of his life at present and for the next year and should he care to invest in any new undertakings at this time it would be very successful for him. The lectures that Miss Rexford will give on "What's in a Name" begin Friday, November 30—"Does Your Name Contain N, S, T or I?" Saturday, December 1—"Success Tips for 1993." Sunday, December 2, 3 P.

Apex Nite Club produces best talent obtainable to entertain increasing numbers of guests. The Apex Club—that's what it's called, is proving every night, in every way, that it is one of the keenest of nite clubs west of Chicago. It is indeed one of the most elaborately furnished clubs of its kind, barring none in the city. Large and spacious, with plenty of ventilation unusually large dance floor, providing ample dance space. Topped by an orchestra, second to none. You may tie it; but, you can't beat it. Everybody knows of Curtis Mosby's Blue Blowers. They are tight, I mean! The clever revue is readed by Miss Sue Hoy, she is tight. All the girls of the revue are well known. Some of them have just concluded an engagement with Fanchon and Marco's revue—"High Yellow Mea." Others are Claude Collins, doing the lead; Lutger Claybourne, and Ivy Anderson, dainty little soubrette. Everything at all times, clean and orderly, Mr. Mosby intends to keep it that way. That's great, we need a Nite Club of this sort. Under its present management it will last a long time. The guests over the weke-end, and next week, will include some famous New Yorkers now appearing at the Orpheum. Apex club members and their many friends, will have plenty of cause to enjoy these especially invited guests. They will include Euble Blake, the most celebrated entertainer on the American stage; Broadway Jones, alias Shuffle Along, Jr.; and a too tight revue of 15 people. Mighty fine I tell you.
