Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth Lead in Procession
BY: G. W. REED
The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth, Jurisdiction of California and Oregon, have in recent months become the cynosure of all secret fraternities on the Pacific Coast. Quietly and unostentatiously have these great fraternities been developing and progressing along the lines of brotherly love, mutual helpfulness and benefice. It is refreshing to know that their acts of benevolence is not confined only to its clan, but is wide spread, reaching out its hand of charity to any one deemed worthy. The following are some of their achievements and doings:
ENDOWMENT
Seven years ago under the leadership of Grand Master J. B. Bass, in the city of San Diego, the District Grand Lodge being in session there, the idea of organizing an endowment department was brought to the fore. It was not easy sailing to get this idea into actual existence. Its sponsors met with much opposition, but with undaunted determination, then Grand Master Bass and his co-workers continued to agitate and work until the endowment department of District Grand Lodge, No. 32, was a reality. Since its establishment it has paid out in death benefits about $50,000. This department started out by paying a policy of three hundred dollars, now it is paying $500,000 death benefits and $15.00 Burial Assistance. Up to this time no bona fide claim has had to wait thirty days before payment. A very handsome amount is kept in the sinking fund. The Benefit Department of the Household of Ruth had its existence before that of the Odd Fellows, under the title of "Peter Ogden Benefit Fund." Mrs. Eliza Warner is the guardian of this Fund for the Ruthies.
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The Scholarship Fund is the medium through which the Odd Fellows and Ruthites show their beneficent hand without their portals. A scholarship of $100.00 is given each year to any boy or girl making application for same and fulfilling the requirements governing the award, which is, that the applicant must have made the highest average of any contestant applying for the award, and completing the High School course and enrolled in some university or college for further education. A letter from the registrar or some official of the school in which the applicant is enrolled certifying that he or she has enrolled must accompany the application. The money will not be sent to the applicant, but directly to the school for his or her use. Application may be sent to G. W. Reed, Chairman of the Scholarship Fund Committee, 808 S. California Ave., Monrovia, Calif., or to Mrs. Eliza Warner, Secretary, 461 N. Figueroa St., Los Angeles. It is believed that it will not be long before this fund will be doubled.
HOME FOR AGED ODD FELLOWS
AND RUTHS
One of the biggest events in the annals of secret fraternities in the West is the recent purchase by these two orders of Forty Acres of fertile soil in Tulare County, where in the future there will be erected a Home for Aged Odd Fellows and Ruths. Again just a few weeks ago Los Angeles Lodge, No. 2639 bought the very valuable corner at 42nd and Central Ave. Los Angeles. This lodge also owns very splendid property on Wall street, between eight and seventh, Los Angeles. I think it can be safely said that the Odd Fellows is the wealthiest fraternal order West of the Rockies.
It cannot be gainsaid that the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth is a universal order free from race prejudice, for there is no distinction made because of race or color. It is a pleasure to be a member of this great and noble order. Isaiah Robinson of Los Angeles is Grand Master of the Odd Fellows and Mrs. C. L. Eggleston (South Los Angeles, is District Grane Most Noble Governor of the House hold of Ruth.

Attorney Pleads Before Former Teacher
Revealing one of the unusual incidents that occasionally happen in courts of justice, Attorney Leon White aker faced a former teacher last Tues
Huge Deal Made By Willis Petroleum Co.
Mr. D. M. Bechtel, representing the Willis Petroleum Company, in which many of our people are interested, has within the past week closed negotiations with the SHILLL OIL COMPANY for a lease on 160 acres of land, owned by the Company in the Piru-Fillmore District.
This makes a total of 240 acres, owned by the WILLIS PETROLEUM COMPANY, under lease to the Shell Company.
This large Oil Organization has signified its intention of intensively developing the property and stockholders of the Willis Petroleum Corporation and owners of tracts in Willis-Vista Acres are to be congratulated, for with the successful development of the property undreamed of revenues should accrue and each owner of a Willis-Vista Acre Tract shares in a per cent of all Oil and Gas produced from the 160 acres.
The sale of Willis-Vista Acre Tracts has just commenced and our people are fortunate in having an opportunity to purchase these tracts, for they not only reap a substantial benefit from Oil and Gas production, but much of the land is adapted to the growing of Oranges, Lemons, Apricots and Grapes and to the raising of Chickens, Turkeys and Rabbitts.
Messrs. E. J. Porter and J. W. Jones of the Climax Realty Company, 2701 South Central Avenue, Telephone Number, HUmbolt 7386, have charge of WILLIS-VISTA ACRES TRACT sales.
When asked concerning the transaction by a representative of this paper, Mr. R. W. Willis, President and General Manager of the Willis-Petroleum Company, said: "I have watched men make their millions in Oil; I have seen Companies grow, from small beginnings to mammoth propositions from profits derived from Oil, and it has been my ambition to build a real OIL COMPANY for our people. The start we have made, in my judgment, could not be improved upon." Mr. Charles W. Russell, Treasurer of the Willis Petroleum Company, said: "The best part of it all is that its true. The papers have been signed and the money paid over and what is so pleasing to me is that such a large and successful Company, with unlimited 'Capital behind them, would vindicate our judgment in leasing land we have purchased."

FRIENDS, I am not on the Sidewalk this week but on the rails.
Yesterday at 6 P. M., when the Golden State Limited started its race across the continent I had prepared to make the race with it with the hope that I might reach Vaux Hall, New Jersey, where my mother lay ill unto death before the end came; but just before entraining the sad news reached me that she had passed on to the other side.
I am still racing to the scene; but from me hope has feed—I am realizing that; the arms that once opened to receive me in tender embrace, on other occasions, are folded in death embrace; the same sweet smile I know is there—but O! so still.

ON OUR EASTWARD journey we awoke this morning in the State of Arizona. Picturesque country this, but sore of sad looking this morning, but then this may not be the state of the country, but simply my mind.
In this part of Arizona through which we have travelled there are no spectacular buildings, only huts; I presume occupied by Indians or Mexicans. However, this is God's country, where nature in all of its beauty and splendor reigns supreme. The sun is shining dimly through a very thin white cloud—a background of dark brown rugged mountains form an outline against a faint blue border of sky; and at the foot of these mountains the great stretch of earth with all sorts of cactus and sage brush, create an immense greenish brown carpet that stretches outward far beyond the reach of the human eye. To the casual observer, perhaps, this scene would grow monotonous, for there is seldom anything to add a touch of life, if it were not for here and there a little silver stream that steals its way through the carpet, and by its green sides cattle graze and drink

THE GOLDEN STATE LIMITED is the last word in equipment and comfort. Just now my attention is called to the fact that lunch is being served in the diner. The old way of yelling first and last call for lunch is not carried out on this train, instead a very trim-looking colored brother comes through the cars ringing softly and sweetly, dinner chimes. The passengers quietly get up and move into the dining car.
Last night when we left Los Angeles, the coach in which we are riding was practically filled, but we emptied at Tucson this A. M. and now there are not more than three other persons in it. And may I say for the benefit of the loud speakers with whom I have daily contact, when on the job, that not one person including porters, has lifted his or her voice above a whispering tone since we left Los Angeles.

```
The maid on this train is Mrs. Maud Doriam of Chicago. She is a very dignified little lady and appears to be on the job every minute. She has been kind enough to offer us any kind of assistance in explaining scenes along the way.
```markdown
```
We have little or no heart for explanations, for we are seeing things through tears; since death is the one thing to which we cannot become accustomed, and especially when it comes to parting ways with our dearest earthly tie—MOTHER.
```markdown
```
And as we fit by milestone after milestone, with our thoughts, visions, dreams buried deep in the past and far into the future, a breath of solace drifts once in a while across our fevered brain to mould itself into these beautiful philosophical words of Tennyson's "Rainy Day":
"The day is cold, and dark, and dreary. It rains, and the wind is never weary; The vines still cling to the moldering walls
And at every gust the dead leaves fall.
And the day is cold, and dark, and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark; and dreary. It rains, and the wind is never weary; My thoughts still still to the moldering past.
Be still, sad heart, and cease repairing
For behind the cloud is the sun still
shining;
Into each life, some rain must fall.
Some days must be cold, and dark,
and dreary."

JULIAN M. DOE MUSEUM
The James Woods Mortuary
JAMES WOODS MORTUARY
The James Woods Mortuary just completed at 87 South Vernon Avenue in the city of Pasadena, was designed in the Mediterranean type of architecture by Edward Cray Taylor and Ellis Wing Taylor, architects and engineers. This style of architecture is one that is becoming popular in this part of the country because of the similarity of our climate to the region from which the name is derived. Great care was necessary in designing the structure to make it fit its practical needs. It had to be made imposing but not gaudy. Special study was utilized in the layout of the interior arrangement so that a maximum of utility could be derived from the allotted areas. The main entrance at the front center of the building opens into a hall. The office and reception room are to the right and left respectively, immediately inside the entrance.
The entrance hall connects with the chapel. The chapel may also be entered through a large arched from the reception room. The display room and family room adjoin the chapel and are separated from it by large sliding doors. These rooms and the reception room may all be used in conjunction with the chapel for seating purposes and their aggregate area provides a capacity of approximately one hundred seats. Public toilet and wash rooms for men and women open from a hall which extends from the chapel. The slumber room is at one side at the rear of the building with the operating room at the opposite side. All the rooms on the first floor were very carefully studied in regard to their decorative treatments.
The upper floor contains a very complete six room apartment composed of very large living room, a very pleasant dining room, a completely appointed kitchen, three large bedrooms, a modern tile bath room and laundry. These rooms are all served by means of a corridor which extends from the head of the front stairs to the rear doorway.
Mr. Woods is a graduate of the Horace Moll in Los Angeles, and we are glad that our young Negro man saw the needs of such a business in Pasadena. We must congratulate him for his courage, ability, and determination, for it is the first time in Southern California that any one young Negro man elected for himself such a place in which to serve his community, city, county, or state. Let us cooperate with Mr. Woods in order to show him that we appreciate his efforts.
Mr. Woods is having a public opening on December the second, on Sunday afternoon. A splendid program rendered. He opened for business on December the fourth.
FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CUHRCH
The B. Y. P. U. of the Friendship Baptist Church, under the leadership of Miss Frances Harris, will visit the Odd Folks' Home on the second Sunday in December.

dollars and fifty cents before they are eligible for a prize.
The prizes are to be given by the Senior Branch. The first prize is a N. A. A. C. P. ring. And the second, a pen and pencil set.
The contest opened on November tenth and will close during the Christmas holidays.
The contestants have a large and new field to work in, and we are sure that each one will do his best.
"Y. W. C. A." GIRLS
Since the beginning of the new school term, the student "Y" Girls no longer have their separate clubs, but they have emerged into the white clubs and their meetings are now being held together.
By this new plan we feel confident that the two races will be greatly benefitted. For it is only by the exchange of thought and ideas that we are able to understand each other. And by understanding each other we may become a part of the great brotherhood of man. And help to break down the prejudices, segregations and discriminations between the two races.
We have already found out that our presence and ideas are appreciated. So we are looking forward for great things this year.
But due to the fact that the Negro girls are quite athletic and wish to compete with their own out-of-town girls, they have organized a setname athletic group, which practices at the "Y" building every Friday evening. They are training hard to form a basketball team which they hope will be able to challenge the Los Angeles "Y" girls in the near future.
The Misses Myrel and Iola Holland of 181 W. Claremont, on last Friday evening gave a delightful and exciting card party for their Los Angeles, Whittier and Pasadena friends.
The first part of the evening was given to card playing and the latter to Charleston contests and dancing.
At the close of the evening the party decided that Miss Myrel Holland and Mrs. Edna Taylor of West 324 Place, Los Angeles, be recommended to Miss Carolyn Snowden for stage dancing.

chimney, save it quick." So chant Willie and Albert, just as earnestly as if they were asking for a touchdown. They wave their silk "stovepire" hats as they chant it, and sway with that "die for good old Rutgers" motion. "Boy, we knows how to clean chimneys," asserted Willie. "We're sure good, and how!" agreed Albert. All of which was the cue for a verse from their college song, "The Chimneys Sweepere' Blacks," which goes somewhat as follows, to no tune in particular:
"Here's yo' chimney sweeps. We go up to the roofs. Don't care for soot, anyhow. Rameye, Rameye, Rameye." And this is followed by a rousing class yell: "Sweep 'em clean. Save the fireman lots of work. We hat soot, we nevah shbrk, Sweep 'em clean, sweep 'em clean." Willie and Albef make their headquarters at 2234 Dryades street. They sweep dozens of the city's best chimneys, and they never stop until they make a touchdown.

A few weeks ago when it rained so hard, we got soaking wet, but during this past week, we took the trouble of packing umbrellas, rubbers etc and it only rained once. We were certainly pessimistic alright. Oh, well, we got good arm exercise packing all those things hither and yon.
A certain little typist we know thinks the locomotive boiler is to make the locomotive tender.
The team of Broomfield and Greely is really getting away with their Saturday afternoon dancing class. Among the damsels seen cavorting at the Somerville, are the Misses Dorothy Stevenson, Hazel Rousse and Maybeile Jones, who have aspirations to be another Mills, Baker or Snowden. Here's luck.

The "Ginnah Dress" dance held by the Girl Reserves of the Y. W. C.A., two weeks ago, was a huge success. Roe furnished the music, although two of his musicians, Charles Jones and Darvin Johnson, were seen dancing the whole evening. Must had a vacation. Come to think of it, musicians do get tired like other folks.

This comes thru the mails: "Why is Charles Moore and the old 'hot' Pierce Arrow seen so often on East 42nd Street, between Ascot and Compont? The young lady must be getting a break. Somebody page Miss West." Well we'll bite? Why is Charles seen on East 42nd so often. And who is Miss Wess? Please let us know.
The Business Girls' Club of the Y. W. C. A. are planning a Christmas program, Sunday, December 23rd, and indications are that it will be a very interesting one.

The "Y" will also have a Christmas Tree for the Domitory girls.

The enthusiasm manifested by the younger set interested in dramatics, in the "Little Theatre Movement" seems to have pettered out. At least we do not hear any more of it. "Black Alkall" was to have been their first attempt, but outside of a few rehearsals nothings has been done. Quite a few of the young men and women who were to have had important parts in "Black Alkall", have appeared before L. A. public in several of the plays produced at the Lincoln, and have made very favorable impressions.

through revival meetings.
It may be of interest to our friends to know that the Benevolent Association of the church, an organization which takes care of the members when sick and furnishes $100.00 to ward each funeral, is conducting a free nurses training school, instructing both men and women in the art of Home Nursing—which is so essential during such epidemics as the Influenza, etc. The methods of Hydrotherapy as related to these epidemics as well as general nursing will be practically taught, also nursing in Minor surgery, first aid, children's diseases the care of aged patients and other practical lines of hom nursing. Upon the completion of the course and the passing of an examination, a certificate will be issued by the Medical Department of Seventh Day Advantis. The White Memorial Hospital and the Glendale Sanitariar mare owned by Seventh Day Adventists—also the College of Medical Evangelists at Loma Linda which is a Grade "A" medical school.
This class of Home nurses will not be limited to members of the church alone, but anyone in the city possessing the required qualifications to enroll will be accepted, and should make inquiry of the Pastor at the church.

Rev. F. D. Haynes Called To Pastorate of Church At Fresno, Cal.
Rev. F. D. Haynes received a call to the Second Baptist Church of Fresno, California, four months ago. This is one of the largest Negro churches in the rich San Joaquin Valley, with a membership that includes some very wealthy members of our race. During the four months of Rev. Haynes' administration he has succeeded with no small degree of success. There have been added to the church forty souls, twenty were received by baptism. Rev. F. D. Haynes who received his theological training in Los Angeles has a very promising future in the ministry. He was formerly a member of Beth Eden Baptist Temple of Los Angeles and an associate pastor of the same church for five years. He is also a member of the Executive Board of the General Baptist Association of California.
Check Up on Moral Conditions Among Girls In Chicago
(By: A. N. P.)
Chicago, Dec. 5.—Statistics of the morals court of this city which indicate that one out of every seven colored girls is a moral delinquent, were the subject of a conference held in the chambers of Judge Joseph Burke, who presides over the morals court, this week.
Representatives from almost every phase of Negro life, the police department and welfare and reform organizations, participated in the conference.
One of the causes for the high disparity of figures between white girls and colored girls was given as the ability of white girls who are accosted by police to produce an alibi; they show that they have a job. Or else instead of walking the streets, these white girls work on what is known as "call," thereby keeping out of the eyes of the police.
In addition to these causes, it was also brought out that police are more active in breaking in residences in colored neighborhoods than they are in white.
Two police sergeants who have worked in the colored district claimed that the high percentage of immigrality among colored girls is in part due to the lack of gainful employment and that the girls are encouraged to barter themselves away by enterprising landlads and men who live off their earnings.
Capt. George P. O'Connor of the police department pointed out that the present condition is an after-effect of the immigration of Negroes into Chicago for service in various industries. When the business of these industries slackened, hundreds of people were thrown out of work and they resorted to a loose manner of living in order to sustain themselves.

EDITORIAL
ELECTION DAY FOR THE N. A. A. C. P.
Sunday is the Annual Election Day for the National Association for the advancement of Colored People. This fact no doubt will bring out in large numbers the membership for an expression as to what hands will be entrusted its future destiny.
We have no tip as to who the aspiring contenders are, or whether or not the present incumbent will stand a candidate for re-election. Regardless of his attitude in the premises it is our desire to pay tribute to his genius and courage in taking hold of the reins, and bringing the local Association up to the highest pinnacle of fame, service and usefulness, truly so for the advancement of all people. Unselfish devotion for a cause has marked his every movement and the results speak louder than words. In performing such a gigantic task, it could not be reasonable to expect other than h ehas made some enemies (he could not amount to much if he hadn't) but we are satisfied the great masses appreciate his effort and are willing to give due credit for the same. This situation, however, in a democratic organization such as the N. A. A. C. P. does not preclude due consideration to any who may aspirt to this position and our only hope is that men and women, good and true, will be selected t carry on the great work of the N. A. A. C. P. not unlike the phenomenal accomplishments of the present administration.
PYRAMID CO-OPERATIVE
We are forced to the conclusion that the effort now in hand by the Pyramid Co-operative Company is a major step in the right direction to life our group out of the slough of despond in economics to the highest pinnacle of success.
In this situation we propose to give our support in every manner possible. The unselfish devotion which characterizes this attempt must have its reward which means a new day and a practical demonstration of organization for the transaction of business.
The striking success along other lines of endeavor but emphasizes the call for co-operation and indeed it is criminal to longer wait to oustrike the blow which means economic freedom. There can be no excuse for any group of people who will not grasp the opportunities at hand to save themselves. Production is the key word and to organize is the pass word.
One hundred thousand souls, shut out heretofore from the emoluments of their very own effort, with the proposition offered by the Pyramid Co-operative Company will bring to this people independence instead of being dependent, therefore join in the movement and let's put it over the top and be on our way for the big things of life i nopening wide the door of opportunity.
"XMAS"
Now that Christmas is just around the corner again one expects to encounter the abbreviated "Xmas" in many places, and hear many complaints and protests mthose who object to this shortening of the word "Christmas."
One objection to shortening Christmas to Xmas is the pitfall of pronunciation. With the use of the brief form has grown a tendency to read it "Xmas," an unpardonable barbarism. So pronounced, the word is quite open to the criticisms of it which clergymen and others have expressed.
X, however, as an abbreviation of Christ, has a history as old almost as Christianity. In catacomb inscriptions it stands for Christos, the first letter being chi. The letter X, the English equivalent of chi, meaning Christ, has the sanction of ancient usage unquestionably.
Dictionaries and encyclopedias include Xmas among the abbreviations of recognized standing, also Xn for Cchristian. They do not stigmatize it as colloquial or vulgar. Still, there is a feeling for words that impels most persons with a verbal conscience to spell Christmas out in full. To many Christmas is a beautiful word, while Xmas is not.
On the score of good taste the appeal for the disuse of Xmas is persuasive. However, circumstances can alter cases. Certainly not even the ministry object to use of the contracted form in the newspaper headline, where space is as precious as it was on the tablets of the catacombs. Xmas is a respectful ter mto those who look upon the X as symbolical of the Christian cross, and it is unlikely any would object to its use if this symbolism were universally recognized.
GROWTH OF CHRISTIANITY
Religious controversies precipitate vague reports that the church-going population was in rapid decline. That the contrary is true is not known better than by the millions of church members in the United States.
An Eastern clergyman discloses that at the time of the American Revolution there was only one professed Christian in Princeton University and two in Harvard University. Today nine-tenths of the university and college students of both sexes are members of some Christian church.
Diminishing church rolls are almost unknown in the United States, while millions of dollars are expended annually for new church edifices in the cities, towns and rural sections of the countrq. Every denomination is annually reporting increased national memberships.
Evidence of the stability of the church in America may be found in the general financial status. There has been a decisive increase in the salary standards of the ministry. Church buildings are better maintained and more luxuriously furnished. A few years ago only the most exclusive city churches could afford paid choristers, pipe organs and skilled organists. Today these are not uncommon in the smaller towns and are customary in the smaller cities.
Whatever the present ecclesiastical debate may have done for good or evil, it manifestly has not detracted from church attendance.
Casus belli: A rather small world containing numerous very large appetites.
If he has begun to think he looks distinguished, he is a little past 40.
The hardest job a kid faces is that of learning good manners without seeing any.
Still, an intellectual doubtless enjoys life when nobody is about to watch him sneer.
Virtue is relative. Most of the people who boast of their self-control haven't much to control.
Still, the man who knows it all wouldn't be objectionable if he'd keep it to himself.
COMMENTS
Down in the State of Texas, where Mr. Hoover cut the Gordian knot of the Democrat party, they are having a little investigation concerning the election of the congressman from the fourteenth district. It was thought that the encumbent, Wurzbach (Republican) had slipped through on the Hoover skid. But it seems as though running true to form they have decided that it was sufficient to give Mr. Hoover the vote without adding the accessories, so they proceeded to count Wurzbach out and McCloskey, Democrat, in. After the grand jury inquiry there will be an investigation by a congressional committee. The evidence will be used in the contest which will be waged before the next session of Congress. In national affairs Texas, like her sister states of the South, may become debatable ground for presidential aspirants, but in affairs which are purely local—there will be no debatable ground. The politician of the South who is a Republican, is that for "Revenue Only."
It is not generally known that a monument to Soldiers of the World War is erected on the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem. Numbers of the soldiers who came from the East to fight with the Allied Armies were from the Holy Land. They too had caught the slogan of "Make the World Safe for Democracy." Although they were inhabitants of a country where a few hundred of years past the spirit of Brotherhood was born, and the essence of love for humanity was filtered, they felt the heel of the tyrant as it pressed with force on their prostrate necks. No doubt they looked up at the Mount where words admonishing mankind to "Love Thy Neighbor" were spoken and wondered. Wondered that a world could have gone so mad. What were their thoughts when they erected a memory to war on the spot from which had been preached the gospel of "Peace to the World."
Well! It is to be hoped that the "effete" East is aware of the fact that there are some husky youngsters out "Where the sun goes down" that can furnish some excitement, give some thrills, and convince the denizens of the "Sunrise section," that they know something about the game called EOOT BALL. Here on the Pacific Coast we are given the credit of being exemplary subjects for ideal hospitality and friendly consideration for the welfare of those who enter our glorious confines. Now it seems that a very thoughtless mentor using the soubrique of "Pop" Warner, took some "ill mannered" pupils of his across to New York and man-handled a bunch of Uncle Sam's so that they were compelled to use the army mule for an ambulance to pack the remains of Cap Christian "Red" Cagle and his warriors back to West Point.
Again, some gentlemen from the "Web Foot State," Oregon, made a pilgrimage to the domain of "Father Knickerbocker," took some of his offspring across his football knee and gave them a thorough spanking. That said spanking was done before an astonished throng, who virtually believe that nothing worth while exists outside the precincts of the bailiwick. To make matters worse, and belittle the heralded hospitality of the "Golden West," some facetious young men, calling themselves "Trojans," invited a bunch of "Pig Skin" carriers, headed by a touted mentor named Rockne, to pay them a visit. Now, this aggregation was said to be one of the best ever. It is sad to relate that those Trojans needed neither a Helen nor a wooden horse. Literally, they smeared the countenances of their guests all over the map of Los Angeles and vicinity. It is to be hoped that the Golden Bears will have just a little more consideration for the feelings of those Georgia fellows that they have asked out for a visit the first of the New Year. We don't wish the Bear to be rough, but if those Georgia Techs get too cockey why just claw'em a little for fun.
We were sorry to see Victor Berger, Congressman from Wisconsin, defeated for re-election. He had introduced an anti-lynching bill which had a sting to it. There will be no chance for its consideration at this short session and we are afraid that the measure will never see outside the committee room. It would be too much to expect of congressman-elect DePriest to shoulder the responsibility for its passage. It would be better to have him gain some legislative experience before tackling so strenuous a job. By the way! Doesn't it seem strange that it is hard for some folk to lay aside the hammer and either push or pull. There is a tendency to thwart the seating of DePriest by an everlasting harping about his ability or moral fitness for the position to which the people of the congressional district have elected him. It would be better far that he be given all of the encouragement possible. That his will may be strengthened to do battle for the principle of eternal justice. Bury your hatchets and throw away your hammers. Concentrate on the good that one representative of the Race may do if properly encouraged.
President-elect Hoover will need a store of reserve energy when he returns from that "Good Will" tour. He will do well not to expend too much seeking to tell our cousins down the other half of our hemisphere how much we love them. His task of placating the army of job seekers will prove onerous. The applications to gather at the trough will come from all sections and from every angle. He will be importuned by Hoover Democrats as well as Hoover Republicans. The dark brigade have planned their onslaught. They have got their eye on some new ones, or what is deemed new after this eight years of leanness. The treasury, navy, war and several other departments which were "used to bes," have been picked out by members of the battalion marshalled by Gen. Hawkins. But, it is predicted that after the wants of the office hungry Generals, Majors and lesser lights of the Bourbon section are filled, there will be few plums remaining.
The officials of New York tendered a reception to Licorish, the Negro seaman who rescued many from watery graves when the Vestris went down. Prominent men of the Metropolis spoke words commending the action of Licorish. More than significant were the words of Mayor James Walker who said: "I wonder if the people you saved—I wonder if they thought of what race you belonged or where you were born. No, they were mighty glad to have your arms around their necks. I believe this would be a better world if when ships are sailing smoothly along the seas some people would think of these facts. You have been an inspiration to six million people of New York City." Those were encouraging words. They mean so much in these days of color prejudice and race hatreds. It comes like a silver gleam through the black cloud of proscription. Heroic deeds are soon forgot. For a while they are heralded and acclaimed, then as quick, forgot. Black men fro mthe South who
Friday, December 7, 1928
fought overseas were mobbed when they returned home wearing their uniforms. It may be that the people of America are learning the lesson of tolerance. Let us hope so.
Hoots From The Owl
The question of too much church and not enough business among the Negroes is not a debatable one. It is agreed by all, except those directly interested, that it would be possible to do awa ywith one-fourth of the places of worship, and still have room for plenty religion. The mania for elaborate church edifices is becoming alarming. It is diverting thousands of dollars from the channels of industry and trade. By the time collections for the various activities are lifted there is little left to the man and woman of moderate means. Very few of the clergy are interested in the material advancement of the Race. They will cumber an edifice with debt in order to maintain a reason for the soliciting of money. They will preach salvation at the expense of material progress. All of us believe in the efficacy of the church when used for the promotion of morality and the ethics of religion. Few of us believe that it is religious ethics to vie in the building of costly temples of worship when so much depends on the economic status of a people who are struggling to attail na place in the realm of industry. In some church connections, the ability to wheedle funds from the people is the mark of distinction which obtains for them lucrative positions. Why not encourage men and women to engage in gainful and productive business? Encourage them to move out to the open spaces and take their places with the producers of the necessities of life.
"See where Major Jimmie Walker of New York City, gave Mr. Lionet Lichoris the now fused Negro and hero of the Vestris disaster a hearty ovation a few days ago when he was received and greeted at the City Hall like a brave knight of olden times who had returned from a victorious battle, so come on every boody and give Jimmie a big hand for his broad-mindedness in as much as Jimmie looked upon Lichoris as a man to be honored tand not as some tried to have it. AS A NEGRO HARDLY WORTH MENTIONING."

So many of our graduates are rushing into the professions that it is becoming a cause for alarm. They are neglecting vocational training for the professions. How can lawyer and doctors expect to have a livelihood when there is no money to pay for their professional service? We often hear the wail from those who have chosen professional careers, that "we are starving to death." What else can be expected when there is nothing to back it up. There are plenty of occupations which demand good education and special preparation. There is the field of civil engineering, electricity offers a fruitful opportunity, artizans of varied experience are needed and scientific tillers of the soil are wanted. It is fine to have D. D. or A. B. as an appendage, but it is far better to educate one's self for an occupation more useful than ornamental. Often the soiled hands are indicative of a clean mind.
Well, Fitts relieved Keyes and Northport returned, now that's too much to happen in one week, so get your ears all set for some sensational news, and you cooks get ready to turn the hot cakes of scandal over as they are about to burn.
Now who said that we could not draw upon our imagination? Well who ever said it is all wet, and take it from Mr. F. G. Watkins as one who knows, as he certainly used his last Sunday night down town at Redell's Department store. When the duel burghar alarm went off accidently and Watkin through his imagination chased a non-stainless burghar all over the building. Well that is nothing to laugh about as it only shows that Mr Watkins was really there when it came to looking out for life and property.

GIVEN AWAY!
The New Whippet, which will be shown by Bozzani Motor Car Co., corner Sunset and No Broadway, starting Sunday December 9th, is without a doubt the most beautiful low-priced car ever presented to the American public. Besides the great improvement in appearance of body and motor, it also carries some original features never found before in any car. It is possible in this new car to start your motor, operate your lights, and blow your horn, all from the horn button, a feature which will be of great interest to everybody, as we have all found discomfort at times to clicking for that start button; also reaching to the dash for the changing of lights. There is also a new feature for opening the windshield by turn, a small crank which allows one to use only one hand to open the windshield. The seating capacity has been greatly increased as the rear seat is 3.75 wider. The rear seat has been increased as well, allowing ample room for five large people. The doors have also been enforced to allow car entrance and exit. With the door improvements this is with a deform the roomiest low-priced car. A new beautiful daily has been added with the instruments all in one dial. The outside appearance has been greatly improved by the high stylish body and the full crown fender which are unique in design, and are all padded between the body with leather heading, the same as is used usually only in high priced cars. The increased whelbase will give more riding comfort and better roadability. There have been some motor changes which have given the car more pop. Although the Whippet is known to be a very fleety little car, the stroke are being used. It has a piston dish has been increased and larger valves placement now of 145.7 against 134.2 in the post model, increasing the actual brake H, P. 9 more H, P. Nelson Bohnalite pistons against cast iron in the old are now being used. With these changes, the New Whippet is the greatest value as well as the greatest performing low-priced car, and we wish to extend your invitation to come in and see this beautiful car register and get particulars on the three prizes of $100.00, $50.00 and $25.00, which are to be given away.
The café operated in the Y M. C. A. annex has changed hands and is now under the management of Mr. A. L. Jones, formerly of the Benedale Cafe which was one of the best house of cats ever conducted in this city.
(We will have to excuse Mr. Green for not knowing about the wonderful work our Cooperative Club is doing out in far away Los Angeles.)
Mr. Jones is a chef who knows every angle of the epicurean art and henceforth the annex cafe of the Y. M. C. A. will be among the most popular catering resorts in the entire city the location is 241 Paloma st.

the idol of New York and Los A
Charlie Rosen. Although he he is negroed to beat Rosen the tough Hebrew boy is no easy pickings and will give Gans a battle as replete with thrills as the historical one with Mushy Callahan.
Rosen showed his mettle in a slugging, match with Johnny Adams at Wrigley Field on the Baker-Fields match, and since then has been winning regularly.
Gans, not only through his wonderful science, cleverness and fighting qualities but also through his gentlemanly deportment, has become the idol of both colored and white fans all over the country, unsurpassed by popularity by even his illustrious namesake.
SOCIAL CLUBS IN ROOTING
SECTIONS
So excited become the fairer sex when the handsome Baby Joe is billed to battle, that for this event several local ladies social clubs have followed the popular fad of planning arena parties attending in a body. Each will form a special rooting section and several are expecting to display their colors on their block of seats. This spirit is wonderful for it means a great deal to have a local colored boy so near the championship, when a championship means so much to the race.
YOUNG LANGFORD IN SEMI
The rest of the card is one of the best ever selected by matchmaker Wad Wadhams, and marks the return to the ring of Young Sam Langford, after a long lay-off. He meets one of the gamest, toughest white boys in the game in Paul De Hate, who holds a decision over Young Harry Wills and a number of the best boys in the country.
MANDELL NEXT
Baby Joe Gans will probably fight the lightweight champion, Sammy Mandell, in New York or here early this spring. The battle will be for the title and it is the opinion of experts that after the just gong the title will rest in the lightning fast hands of the "Young Master."
FAMOUS CELEBRITIES TO WELCOME BABY GANS AT THE APEX CLUB
With arrangements made for the appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Dempsey, now at Tia Juana, one of the greatest collection of ring, stage and screen celebrities ever gathered will welcome Baby Joe Gans in a big welcome home party at the Apex Nite Club next Wednesday night, December 12th.
Accompanied by his managers, Mr. Cherokee Tom Cox and Mr. Larney Lichenstein, Gans will preside at the reorganization of the famous knock out trust, surrounded by such celebrities as Mr. Lou Daro, wrestling pro-motor: Mr. Frank Moran, state boxing

Facing one of the strongest tests of his first winter season on the Coast, Brewer, pitcher of he Cleveland Giants led the Lake Erie men to victory last Sunday at White Sox Park.
With Joe Pirrone's All-Stars at the height of their career, composed of a better line-up of material than ever before and with hat star hurler Hollis Thurston handling the apple it was some formidable battle array for the young twirler and his supporters to face.
Every inning was replete with thrills. Three men up and three men out on each side the first inning Jolley hitting the first ball' pitched in the second inning for a home run. Allen scoring Dixon with a 2-base hit and Day scoring him in the 3rd Pick walked in the 4th. Jolley and Haney hit but died on 2nd. Joe Pirrone grounded out shortstop to 3rd. In the fifth inning Brewer struck out the only 3 men up—Cotter, Gaston and Thurston. That great all round player Dixon hit a sweet home run in this inning which, gave the Giants one tally advantage of 3 to two. A couple more in the 6th looked like victory until the All-Stars scored Pirrone Cotter and Jolley in the 7th tieing the score 5-5. Thus it remained through to the 9th with Dixon, Moth ell and Brewer up without a hit, and Cotter, Pirrone, Gaston and Thurs
inspector; Mr. Paul Mullen, famous physical cultist and ex-fighter; "Pop" Barret; Mr. Wad Wadhams, Olympic matchmaker and a considerable number of other famous figures including several of the greatest Sports Editors and writers of the local dailies.
Special arrangements have been made for a revue fantasy by the Apex entertainers, depicting the history of Boxing. Baby Gans will also try a Cinderella slipper on the feet of the ladies present until the one who gets fitted receives the slippers filled with money.
Although open to the public, so great will be the crowd on this famous night that it will be almost necessary to phone for table reservations to HUmbolt 0020.

Allen fanned, Day grounded through right field and made first, stole second; and a long hit through center by Mackey brouhenth in leaving the Giants victors 6 to 5. One more week closes the first half of the Winter League with the battle for top very close.

Wm. Fox "Hearts In Dixie" Cast Returns From Location
DIRECTOR SLOAN REPORTS FINE SUCCESS ON FIRST ALL-COLOR-ED CAST MOVIETONE OPUS
They're back. Chas. Gilpin, the star; and Clifford Ingraham and Mildred Washington; and those already famous Bilbrew Chorifsters. These people have already made history. They have accomplished some things heretofore never attempted on a movie set.
Especial mention at this writing must go to the choristers. They were wonderful. Their entertainment on and off the sound stage was most novel, and keenly delightful. Every single person identified in the biggest to the smallest degree—the director, prop men, electricians, camera men, and extras—were touched by these wonderfully blended tones at their Thanksgiving service.
It was a most wonderful day, when the movietone came into its own. Humanity has been benefitted. Now many music lovers, the world over, who have longed to hear the plaintive notes swelling from the breast of Negroes but were prevented on account of distance or other causes, may hear him daily in movietone.

San Francisco, Dec. 3. (U.P.)—Tod Morgan found it tough going to successfully defend his junior lightweight title here tonight and the best he could do against Santiago Zorrilla, chocolate-colored San Blas Indian, was to secure a draw decision after 10 rounds.

lyn Preer, Edward T

Mr. Orvid B. Gillstrom, director, who is making the first of these Octavius Roy Cohen series, appears highly elated over results thus far. His cast, includes some of the best, for the purpose all the extra people who have been engaged in supporting roles or as atmosphere, have responded nobly before both the camera and the microphone.
Miss Roberta Hyson, to mind, is a find! And to Mr. Gillstrom, goes the honors of discoverer. She can act. Ob, fhy! how that baby can act. She has those eyes—wide, expressive eyes. Dance? Right out of this world. As "Sapho" the dancing wife of Webster Dill (played by Spencer Williams) she fairly exudes all over the place. If she has anything to do with it, the picture is a success.
the famous Lafayette Players, too. have their representatives here. Much can be expected from them. Three of them are in the cast. Miss Evelyn Preer has the role of the melancholy dame; Edward Thompson, that of "Permanent Williams," and Chas. Olden, that of Florian Siapky. These roles are well filled by these very capable artists. They each screen well and have marvelous voices for the movetone effect. Among some of those enjoying minor or supporting roles may be seen the musical comedy stars, Lottie Gee and Edith Spencer and her sister; Harry Tracy; David Horton; Mary Pryor and Lawrence LaMar; greenland's own; Mrs. Anita Grant; Freddie Williams and others.

THE COMMENTATOR
(THINGS AS THEY STRIKE ME)
As we sometimes move in and about, otherwise familiar places, we are at times mildly startled at the newness or strangeness of this or that, familiar object, person, or scene. Yet, we soon forget it. Only the fastidious observer, who has nothing more to do, takes notes, or otherwise records these strange of unusual hap penings—so the Commentator—he sees and explains
In a block, thickly infested with restaurants, some half empty, watching huge crowds swarm into one, in which a light fuse blown out, has left in semi-darkness, to eat by candle light. Wild-eyed young men with pet and paper seeking names among the movie workers—and casting furtive glances over their shoulders while doing so. I wonder why? and for what purpose? The enormous crop of casting officers for colored moviefie talent, that has sprouted over night, in the Central Avenue district. Everybody seems to have the bug. Maybe it means that there is plenty of work around the corner for colored players and maybe its just a get-rich-quick scheme of someone who thinks the Negro will spend a fortune to get into pictures. Well, they're not rushing.
(THE APEX CLUB)
The rain last Sunday night, failed d'ampen arbor of the patrons of the Apex Night Club, and they fairly swarmed there in droves to see Cliff Jones, one of New York's most versatile entertainers, open his show. Did he open? Ha! Ha! Are you asking me? My, my! And How! He fairly tore off the roof with his singing and dancing. He has a sweet tenor voice that's out of this world. And dance! Boy, show me the steps this boy doesn't know. And fellows, he has a personality that immediately puts you on his side.
That orchestra or Mosby's gets hotter and hotter. We are beginning now, to know why, they're called Blue Blowers. They play the blues line, they were never played before. With hat almost lost rhythm that just compels your feet to move. They's tight. I'm tellin' you
They're serving real meals there too. Plenty of patrons take heir after theatre meals there. Although salads sandwiches and soft drinks seem to be the most in demand. Large crowds nightly. Plenty of time allotted for continuous dancing with a too tight show interspersed.
If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened
```markdown

Howard Jones beat Notre Dame Saturday and he did it masterfully and left no doubt whatsoever as to what team was the best.
Jones without a doubt is a very good coach, he has proved it in the four years he has had charge of football at the Trojan School, but we have one fault to find with the wonder coach, as he has ben called since he has only two conference defeats chalked against him in four years of coaching, and this fault is his color blindness.
Jones cannot use a black man in any form or fashion, and he has shown us this throughout this season plainly enough.
But the wonder coach started to show us before this season. In fact he started the very first year he came to U. S. C.; when that All-American guard Bruce Taylor was playing his last year for his Alma Mater, Taylor had made the first team under 'Gloom' Gus Henderson and had been chosen on the all-const team the year before and was conceded a good chance to make the All-American the following fall, but Jones knocked his chances sky high by some of his wonder coaching.
When Jones took charge, right off the bat he benched the colored flash and charged him with insubordination. The Trojan Mentor said that he was indifferent to practice and did not put his whole heart into the game—the same old stand by they give you when they want to get rid of you. Any one who has seen Bruce Taylor play or even read about him could tell that the line the wonder coach was putting out was all hooey.
To illustrate this statement we will give you some of the high lights on Taylor's playing.
Price was one of the fastest men that ever domed a mole skin and he hit like a ton of brick. He was faster than the ends Jones had that year and down under punts before the wing men. Price had played guard for Henderson and had made a mighty good job of it. In the Jones style of play the running guard position is the key to all of the plays and it also is a factor on the defense. There was no man on the squad that could come near equalling Taylor, still Jones sat blim on the bench and tried to develop a white boy to take the black boy's place.
After several games the man from Iowa came to the conclusion that his attempt to keep the dusky boy out of the play was all for naught and he put him back after having been on the bench for at least three games for no reason whatsoever, but the above. In 27 there were no colored boys out to give the pale faces a fight for their places on the team, but we have one this year, in the person of Bert Ritchie, the former San Diego high school boy. Bert was unable to get out last year due to some question about his grades. When Ritchie wasn't given the chance to play in any of the practice games the colored scribes started giving Jones h—l, and to quiet them he put him in the Saint Mary's game. Due to an injured ankle Bert couldn't strut his stuff and Jones took him out and kept him out until the game with Arizona, a second rate college that most high school could beat, if scores mean anything.
When U. S. C. played Idaho, Jones used a great number of his reserves but he couldn't trust the black boy enough to put him in: The Notre Dame tussle rolled around and the Trojans took them without much trouble. Jones played his regulars most of the game, that was O. K. because the trish is a hard team to beat up to the last gun. But where our kick comes in is this: in the last quarter Tappan, first string end, was hurt and a sub hart to go in for him, and Durkee, a white boy who has been playing third string out, under Ritchie, was sent in.

Welcome to Baby Joe
Gans Unequaled Last
Saturday
For real honest-to-goodness enthusiasm, and hearty welcome the constant applause, hearty smiles and hand-shakes, that greeted Baby Joe Gans, he Young Master, from the time he alighted from the crack Santa Fe train that bore him and his party in from N. Y. until he finally escaped home, it has never been equalled. Even the arrival of Dempsey himself was not attended with more real friends. Armed with a police permit for a parade, Harry Levette, Sports Editor of the Eagle and the imitative Louie Cole, in a fine sedan as the official car, led the procession, followed by Alton Redd's "Pards of Pepper" band and a long string of cars to the station
There the cheery jazzy notes of the orchestra soon attracted a large crowd as all waited the hero's arrival, As Gans appeared, faultlessly attired in neat dark gray suit, gray spats and carrying a cane in latest Broadway style, the crowd let out a big cheer and the band played "Hail to the Chief." From there on down Central avenue the procession was frequently stopped as friends rushed from the curb to shake the Young Master's hand. Part of the tour included the Hotel Sonerville over which the Gans party was shown by Mr. Bratton. Almost equally well received were Larney Lichenstein, manager and Cherokee Tom Cox, discoverer, trainer and faithful friend of Baby Joe. Tom was also dressed in the height of N. Y. fashion and proud as ever of his little champ
The party included the attractive wife of the famous boxer, mother of his two children, Miss Connor and others, Mr. Warren, father-in-law of Gans was among the first to greet them, reporting that the boy and girl were fine, but jonesome for daddy and mother. Ever since his return there has been one round of welcomes to Gans and the game was stopped at White Sox Park Sunday until he was introduced to the cheering crowd. Gans went into training Monday to be in tip-top shape for his battle with Rosen next Tuesday.
His popularity is equalled if not surpassed in N. Y. for at the battle with Joe Glick at least 15,000 fight fanatics who stormed the Eighth Avenue Citadel were unable to pass through the turnstiles. Every available inch of space was occupied, and it was a testimonial] to the drawing power of Baby Joe Gans that made it possible.
Back To His First Love Goes Dario Barron
If half the boys that start their careers at the Main St. A. C. would only come back once in a while what a lot of champions and near champions would be seen at Carlo Curtis' House of Action. Dario Barron started here he is again Saturday:
Dario Barron vs. "Bad News" Brown slx rounds; Sammy Aguerre vs. Cecil Bennett, four rounds; Charles Kalser vs. Joe Hernandez, four rounds; Billy Cain vs. Sammy Seamon, four rounds; Pete Savelra vs. Rienard Frazier, four rounds; Johnny Martinez vs. Kenneth Johnson, four rounds.
Ritchie had been relieving Tappam when he went out, but again the wonder coach couldn't trust the dusky boy, and his chance to show his stuff against a real team passed by. Now, just for what reason did Jones send in a third string man rather than stick Bert in. Here's the answer: discrimination and nothing else but. Call it anything you like but that's what it looks like to us and it will take some showing to make us change our mind. By this stand that the Southern California mentor takes keeps several black boys on the football field. What is U. S. C. going to do about it?
Are our boys going to be discriminated against as long as Jones is at the Trojan school?
Figure it out for yourself. We give up after two years of figuring.

Alphy Osborne Stars In Lincoln, Franklin, Manual Games
In a game a week ago when Lincoln beat Patterson 27-6 most of the Lincoln power was furnished by Alphy Osborne. The lone colored griddler chalked up three of his squad's tallies, and at one time ran 75 yards through the entire Franklin eleven for a touchdown.
In the game with Manual ending 14-0 Osborne scored Lincoln's second tally and added the extra points after both of them.
Osborne dashed 22 yards to the 26-yard line and followed this up with an 8-yard gain. He was then stopped, but on the next play Swedo crashed through to a first down on the 15-yard line. Three shots at the line netted little, so Osborne shot a pass to Captain Vitale over the goal line for a touchdown. Osborne converted.
On the second play of the final quarter Osborne took the ball, dashed over the short right end, reversed his field, at the same time fighting off Gabrels with a straight-arm, and sped on past Kellar to a touchdown. He converted again.

It seems that still another mating will be necessary to settle the real prudge between Pleistina and Malciewz, who appear to be flatural ring endemies since their first meeting in Denver two and a half years ago. Pleistina entered the ring that night without a defeat against his record. A champion had yet to risk his title against the giant's flying mares. Then Malciewz, who welched but 200 pounds, hoisted him into the air after 54 minutes of spectacular wrestling, and threw him on his head with a backward body slam.
That was Pleistina's first defeat. His charges that Malciewz had been pressed to break out of holds as easily as he did, only added zest to the rivalry existing between the two. Their bout here last July was another sensational affair. Pleistina evening the score, as far as he was concerned. He won by default when Malciewz was knocked out trying to throw the "trust buster" back over his head.

REGINALD SIKI WINS ALL
OVER GERMANY
Like a mighty conquerer Reginald Skii the only great wrestler of the Negro race is marching on a triumphal tour through Europe, winning as he goes. Skii has been abroad a year now meeting all comers in India and other Asiatic countries. The Abyssian giant as he is called wrestled under all conditions, the matches in India and Hindustan being held on the bare ground, sometimes even in the mud, and are cruel gruelling affairs, with few humane rules like those held here.
While in this country Skii gained much fame through wrestling for Lou Daro great wrestling promoter in this city. Skii who is of a quiet, gentlemanly disposition, was well liked by Mr. Daro who unhesitatingly matched him against the best wrestlers in the game. He is anxious to have him back and deplores the fact that there are so few Negro wrestlers.
Skii has won several championships in Europe and Asia and his picture is published around by cups and medals. He is now domiciled with Russowiki Foenden-heim. 5657 Stendamasto Koenigsberg, Deutschland (whatever that means).

Here's the Lincoln's New Years gift!
Al stadtling and welcome announcement is made by the Lincoln Theater management simultaneously with the opening tonight of "Branded" as the Famous Lafayette Players attraction for the new week.
"Branded," tense and dramatic Broadway hit, will continue at the Lincoln until next Friday night and after two more dramas have been staged by the Famous Lafayette Players, the management plans to alternate with musical comedy hits every fourth or fifth week. The first of these musical shows will be put on during New Years week and it is announced that numerous special features will be included in the presentation.
"Queen High," the musicalization of that famous New York favorite, "A Pair Of Sixes," has been selected as the initial musical comedy attraction at the Lincoln and will open on the night of December 28th; featured by a peppy bronze beauty chorus; the appearance of Mosby's Blue Blowers and last, but not by any means least, the Four Covans who come to the Lincoln stage direct from a triumphant tour of the Orpheum Circuit.
2000
Mere description cannot give you a sufficient idea of the regal manner in which "Queen High" and other musical plays will be staged at the Lincoln. No expense is being spared in the manner of providing the best that is possible in the matter of costumes; scenic effects; voices and song and dance specialties. All of your favorites will be in the cast, for each of the Lafayette Players possesses an excellent singing voice and a rare talent for dancing, which will be demonstrated for Los Angeles theatergoers for the first time since this famous troupe arrived on the coast. Evelyn Proer, Edward Thompson, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Lawrence Criter and all of the other players who have gained such wide popularity at the Lincoln since last August are versatile where singing and dancing is concerned and audiences will be provided with a great opportunity to "see and hear" for themselves, when "Queen High" opens on December 28th.

Fox Studios, one of the small independent studios announces to that same ogle-eyed world the completion of an all-colored cast comedy. You can't beat those independents. They will fool you every time.
Air Goulding is a well known figure among the satalites of the motion picture world. He held a director's megaphone on the M. G. M. lots for years. We wondered why he would be down on poverty row, but now we know. Money talks. Maybe the old row is as poverty stricken as was supposed. Well, the picture's in the cutting room. The closing scenes have been shot. We're waiting for the Pre-View. We're praying with Johnnie Larkins and his forty co-workers, that this first effort be favorably received by the public. It means so much.

If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened
Helen Hunt Jackson Branch Library
Do you know how your mind works? That sounds like the old question we used to ask each other when we first heard of psychology in our high school days, "Where is your thought when you are not thinking it?" but nowadays the scientists can come uncomfortably close to answering even the questions we don't ask out loud. And for those of us who are lay readers so to speak, and not trained psychologists there is a great deal of both pleasure and profit in Albert Edward Wiggam's new book, "Exploring your Mind." In this volume one can learn how we form habits and how to learn best and what to do with a gifted chil dand how to ger rid of our fears, and any number of valuable bits of knowledge. The author interviewed a number of authorities on all the subjects of mental science and this book is the result of the interviews.
"Meet General Grant," by W. E. Woodward was chosen by the Literary Guild as the most important book for November. This is a most interesting and vivid biography of the Union leader and is written with a brilliant and striking style.
These are the most important books of non-fiction added to the shelves of the Helen Hunt Jackson Branch Library during the past week. The new fiction includes a sparkling girl's story "Rusty Rusten," which tells how an energetic girl on her way to college with flowers; a new book of short stories about American aviators by Elliot Whit Springs and Aldous Huxley's new novel of English society today. "Point Counter-Point." In this book Mr. Huxley gives an entire cross-section from London life.
Powell In Error When He Says There Are No Colored Licensed Aviators
Calif. Eagle Publishing Co.,
847 South Central Ave.,
Los Angeles, Calif.
Dear Sirs:
Being a reader of your newspaper as long as I have, I know that you believe in publishing the truth and nothing but the truth for the information and guidance of all concerned; please allow me to humbly offer corrections to a statement published in last week's issue, November 23, 1928 by one Mr. Wm. J. Powell, regarding the holding of Commercial Pilot's license among the Negroes of the U. S.
Jessie W. Lankford's statement is as follows:
"At this time we are not aware of any Negro who holds a commercial pilot's license."
It is quite evident that Mr. Powell has assumed the authority to quote that there is not one single Negro in America who holds a commercial pilot's license.
Recently, there appeared in the Chicago Defender an article accompanied by a photo of a Mr. J. H. Banning, 917 West 2nd, Ames, Iowa, who had a crash in an airplane stunting before 10,000 people.
The Air Service Directory, that is "Air Transportation," lists among the many Aircraft pilots the name of Mr. Banning of Iowa, limited commercial license 1824.
The writer of the above article is a graduate of the American School of Aviation, 3601 Michigan Ave., Chicago, by personal instructions, diploma dated November 20, 1920, Class card No. 3850.
Information can be furnished all concerned by writing Department of Commere, Aeronautic Branch, in care of Wm. P. MacCracken, Jr.
The Air Service regulation does not designate color, however there may be others holding Commercial Pilot's license that we know not of.
As soon as possible I will secure a cut of Mr. Banning for the California Eagle that the public may see and know that he is a gentleman-not color. Very truly,
ARTIS N. WARD,

3 Days Commencing Sunday, Dec. 9th
Bodil Rosing, in "Wheels of Chance", Richard Barthelmess' recent First National picture, appears in the role of the star's mother. In his new picture, "Out of the Ruins", which comes next Sunday to the Rosebud Theatre, she plays his mother-in-law.
DELICATESSEN AND CAFE
For the tired business woman and afternoon shopping lady. Take home ready to serve. Working and professional men find our noon-day luncheon wholesome as well as appetizing.
MRS. A. GRIESSETT, Prop. OPEN 7:00 A.M. TO 10:00 P.M.
At least she is his prospective mother-
half, and the marriage is
insured for consumption.
Miss Rosing is a Scandinavian address of great ability and is especially happy in character roles of a motherly sort. It is but fair to say, however, that she excels also in other types of characterization and has the European finesse resultant from long dramatic training abroad.
Marion Nixon, as her daughter, sweetheart of Pierre—played by Bartholmess—is a delightful figure in a highly romantic picture. John Francis Dillon directed, Eugene Pallette, Robert Frazer, Emile Chautard, Rose Dione and others are in the supporting cast.
Father Kills Man About His Daughter
Louisville, Ky., Dec. 5.
