State Home For G.U.O.O.F. VOLUME 42 Stat 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. --- Willis Petroleum Co. In Huge Oil Deal VENTURA ABSTRACT CO. Escrow No. 1346 Bentura, Calif.

L. B. Landry J. E. Sims, B. F. Easter and F. T. Jones. The doors of the new, home of the Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company on last Saturday were thrown open for the inspection of the public and for business. This day was one long to be remembered by not only the public who the company's guests, but by the officials and attaches as well. By the former for the mighty splendor and beauty and the business tone combined as the brand new presented itself, by the other contingent for the spontaneous splendor and enthusiastic response by the public at large. The Board of Directors, officers, office force and agents were busy from opening time 10 A. M. until nearly midnight welcoming a constant stream and escorting them throughout the various departments. The building was decorated in a 'most attractive manner, and no one visited the scene without a genuine surprise at the magnificent progress which had come to this great concern. It was both beautiful and inspiring. In the evening $e$ sprendd program was presented in the large Assembly room of the building. The various officers were presented as well as the office force and groups of agents. Short and spicy addresses were delivered. Also speeches of the same in kind were made by visitors present. Among those who spoke on this inspiring occasion were: Messrs. Percy Buck, Rev. Gantt, Rev. W. R. Carter, Dr. Albert Baumann, Hugh Gordon and Editor J. B. Bass, P. S. Johnson of the Board of Directors acted as Master of Ceremonies. Many were the floral offerings for this auspicious occasion and truly Wm. Nickerson, Jr., president of the Golden State flanked by his chief aides—GEO. A. Beavers, Jr. and Norman Houston and fellow officials—were lifted to note the approval and sincere best wishes of the mighty throng which wended their way to the Golden State on its opening day. Lad Kills Stepfather B. Y. A. N. P. Prenting, Miss., Dec. 4—Joe Solomon was shot and killed by his 18-year-old stepson as his home east of Prenting. The shooting followed a family row. The stepfather and the boy grappled for possession of a gun and in the struggle it was discharged, the load striking Solomon in the chest killing him instantly. "COMPLETING OF EMANCIPATION" RACE CONGRESS AT WASH INGTON BY LEAGUE Washington, D. C., Dec. 3, 1928.—At a meeting of its national executive committee held here during the holidays, the National Equal Rights League and Race Congress of America, Rev. Geo. F. Miller, or New York, president, voted to hold the 14th Annual Race Congress and 21st Annual league meeting in Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, 3rd and I streets, N. W., from the night of Jan. 1st to Jan. 3rd, 1928. It was also voted that the object of "Completing Emancipation by the removal of all traces and continuances of slavery in race and color restrictions." As outlined at the close of the meeting in Mt. Carmel Church by the pastor, Rev. Wm. H. Jemagin, vice-president-at-large, and secretaries Nelli and Trotter, the League invites every national and every local racial organization, including churches, and every community, to send on delegates to this Congress that the race in a truly united and national sense may devise methods by which emancipation may be fully realized 66 years after its inception. The League urges that in every place local "Completion of Emancipation" celebrations be held on New Year's Sunday, or New Year's Day the promoters meantime providing for representation at the national celebration and Congress at Washington.

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." Local N. A. A. C. P. To Elect Officers Regular meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. will be held Sunday, P. M., Pico and Paloma Sts. Church. Dr. Allan A. Hunter, pastor of Mt. Hollywood Congregational Church will be the speaker. Mrs. Harrangue will render a solo, the men's Chorus of the 2nd Baptist Church will sing, we will also be favored with a soprano solo by Mme. Overstreet Jackson. Following the program election of officers takes place. Every member of the organization should be present DR. H. C. HUDSON, Pres. MRS. F. A. HILL, Chm. of Prog. day morning in the person of Judge Marshall F. McComb. Attorney Whitaker who was representing the victorious defendant in a $50,000 damage suit, succeeded in having his points and contentions, dealing with matters of civil procedure and practice, upheld by the court. Judge McComb, though somewhat new as a member of the Superior Bench, has proved himself, one of the most scholarly and able men whose services the county has been so fortunate as to obtain. December 2, 1928. 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. ```markdown ``` 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."

IRENE BUTLER A CREENAWAY What with the recent rains and the coming holiday expense, things aren't as bright as they should be. We advocate all fathers to pin a sign on their wallets saying, "not to be opned before Christmas." --- 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.

A beautiful and useful man of God has joined father and mother above. 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.

There can be no excuse for any groyp of people who will not grasp the opportunities at hand to save themselves. Produe- tion 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 op- portunity. Now that Christmas is just around the corner again one ee pects to encounter the abbreviated “Xmas” in many places, and hear mary complaints and protests fro mthose who object to. this shortening of the word “Christmas.” | One objection to shortening Christmas to Xmas is the pie fall 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 gs Christianitr 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 ancignt 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 con- science 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. circumst inces cin 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 useif this symbolism were universally recognized. GROWTH OF CHRISTIANITY itehgious controversies precipitate vague reports that ee church-going population was inrapid decline. That the con-| trary is true is not known better than by the millions of church, members in the Urited 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 Unit- ed States, while millions of dollars are expended annually for new church edificewin 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 build- ings 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. 7 Whatever {he present ecclesiastical debate may have done for good or evil; it manifestly has not detracted from church at- tendance. - Casus belli: A rather small world containing numerous very large appetites, . If he has begun to think he looks distinguished, he is a lit- tle past 40. The hardest job a kid faces is that of learning: good man- ners 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 alt wouldn’t be objectionable if he’d keep # to himself. Page---Six “XMAS’ COMMENTS 1 | BY: W. J. WHEATON . } Ue gy | Down in the State of Texas, where Mr. Hoover. cut the | Gordian knoi of the Democrat party, they are having a little | investigation concerning the election of the congressman from | ‘ithe fourtenth 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 with- outjadding the accessories, so they proceeded to count Wurz- Lach out and McCloskey, Democrat, in, After the grand jury. inquiry there wilt be an investigation by a congressional com- mittee. 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 affuirs which are pure- ily local—there will be no debatable ground. The politician of | ,the South who is a Republican, is that for “Revenue Only.” oe ek | It is not generally known that 2 monument to Soldiers of the World War Is erected on the Mount of Oliges near Jerusa- lem. Numbers of the soldiers who came from the Bast to fight jwith the Allied Armies were from the Holy Land. They too had caught the slogan of “Make the World Safe for Democra- | vy.” Although they were inhabitants of 2 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 jot the tyrant as it pressed with force on their prostrate necks. |Xo doubt they looked up at the Mount where words admonish- ing mankind to “Love Thy Neighbor” were spoken and won-' dered. Wondered that a world could have gone so mad. What i their thoughts when they erected a memory to page the spot from which had been prétened the gospel of “Peace Xo {the World.” . : . oo» *¢ 6 & Well! It is to be hoped that the “effete” East is aware of the fact that thore 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 Jsubjccts 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 [eet and man-handled a bunch of Uncle Sam's so. that they [were compelled to use the army mule for an ambulance to jpack the remains of Cap Christian “Red” Cagle and his war- riors back to West Point. se eR Again, some gentlemen from the “Web Foot State," Ore- gon, made a pilgrimage to the domain of “Father Knickerbock- jer.” took some of his offspring across his football knee and gave ithem a thorough spanking. That said spanking was done be- |fore 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 ithe “Golden West,” some facetious young men, calling them- |selves “Trojans,” invited a bunch of “Pig Skin” carriers, head- ed by a touted mentor named Rockne. to pay them a visit, Now, this ageregation wes suid te be one of the best ever. It is sad “tor. inte that those Trojans needed neither a Helen nor a wood- ten horse. Literally, they smeured the countenanecs of their ‘guests all over the map of Los Angetes and vicinity. It is to be hoped that the Golden Bears will have just a little more consid- Jorstion 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 ithe Bear to be rough, but if those Georgia Techs get too cockey why just claw’em a little for fun. j OR ee | ; We were sorry to see Victor Berger, Congressman from ‘Iwiseonsin, defeated far re-election. He had introduced an an- | ti-lynching bill which had a sting to it. There will be no chance :/for its consideration at this short session and we ate afraid thet |the measure will never sce outside the committee room. It would be too much, to expect of congressman-clect DePriest to shoulder the responsibility for its passage. It would be better lto have him gain some legislative experience before tackling so (strenuous a job. By the way! Doesn't it seem strange that it lis hard for some folk to lay aside the hammer and either push ee pull There is a tendency to thwart the seating of DePriest {by an everlasting harping about his ability or moral fitness for jthe position to which the people of the congressional district have elected him. It would be better far that he be given all Jor the encouragement possible. That his wil! may be strengthy !ened to do battle for the principle of eternal justice. Bury your ‘Thatehets and throw away your hammers. Concentrate on the | good that one representative of the Race may do if properly encouraged. é ; + a | President-eleet Hoover will need a store of reserve ener- gy when he returns’frorh 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 Hoov- Jer Democrats as well as Hoover Republicans, The dark bri- ||gade have planned their onslaught. They have got their eve Jon some new ones, or what is deemed new after this eight years |jof leanness. The treasury, navy, war and several other depart- |ments which were “used to bes,” have been picked out by mem- bers of the battallion 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. ‘ ae a ee | The officials of New York tendered a reception to Licorish, the Negro seaman who rescued many from watery graves when _lthe Vestris went down. Prominent men of the Metronolis fought overseas were mobbed when they returned home wear- ‘ing their uniforms. It may be that the people of America are learning the lesson of tolerance. Let us hope so. _ of * * * . 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 do awa ywith one-fourth of the places of worship, and still have room for plenty religion. The mania for elaborate church edi- fices is becoming alarming. It is diverting thousands of dollars from the channels of industry and trade. By the time collec- tions for the various activities are lifted there is litle 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 strug- giing to attai na place in the realm of industry. In some church connections, the ability to wheedle funds from the people is the raerk 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 necessi- ties of life. . * * > + So many of our graduates are rusfing into. the professions that it is becoming a cause for alarm. They are neglecting vo- cational training for the professions. How can lawyer and doc- tors expect to have a:livlihood 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 starv- ing to death.” What else can be expected when there is noth- ing to back it up. There are plenty of occupations which de- mand good education and special preparation, There is the field af civil engineering, electricity offers 2 fruitful opportun- tv, artizans of varied experience are needed and scientific till- ers 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 occu- pation more useful than ornamental. Often the soiled hands nre indicative, of a clean mind.

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. Before this BY: HARRY LEVETTE (Continued from Preceding Page) 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.

Ns., Evelyn Mefford, local girls, won the South End Rowing club's Golden Gate swim for women yesterday. 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. AFRICAN BALL LEAGUE African has its own baseball league known as the "Ligue Tunisienne De Baseball", which was formed by an American, Dr. C. G. Kelly.

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. CLOSE HAREMS OPENS CYMR. FINE!

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.

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. 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. It is announced that two midnight matinees will feature New Years' week; the regular Saturday night, and another midnight show New Years eve. The cast of "Branded," opening tonight includes in addition to Evelyn Preer and Edward Thompson, all of the Lafayette group.

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, 1136½ E. 12th St. ROSEBUD THEATRE 20th and Central Scandinavian Actress With Barthelmess In' Two Pictures 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. Thomas Crawford living in the west-end of the city near State Fair Ground shot and killed George Bond, who was identified as the man who had assaulted his thirteen-year-old daughter Margie. Bond attempted to escape from Crawford when the two met Sunday and Crawford killed him instantly. Crawford was held without bond. Saturday C. S. SMITH, Prop.
