Chicago To Be Medical Center of United States (By The Associated Negro Press) With the proposed affiliation of Chicago University and the Provident Hospital and Nurse Training School this city bids fair to become the medical center of the United States. This fact became known here Tuesday when a letter from Dr. Franklin McLean, Superintendent of the Chicago University Hospital to Dr. George Cleveland Hall, chief of staff and member of the Board of Trustees of the Provident Hospital, was made public. This letter indicates that the new institution will not only be one of the most modern institutions for the care or the sick but will offer unusual advantages to physicians, graduate and student nurses. The staff, according to the plan will be selected from the best men of the medical profession in the country, after a nation-wide survey, with the idea, as Dr. McLean points out, "of making these selections long enough in advance to permit of their being sent abroad for study before taking up their new duties." "In addition," continued Dr. McLean "to the selection of mature men for the more responsible positions, it is of the men to be trained for advancement into such positions, through fellowships in leading institutions of America and Europe." Provident Hospital is one of the oldest institutions for the care of the sick and training of young colored women in the profession of nursing in the country. It is headed by Dr. George Cleveland Hall, who is one of the most eminent physicians and surgeons of the country and especially of the Negro group. For many years the institution has suffered from congestion due to lack of adequate facilities, but in the face of these difficulties has continued to do efficient and effective work which merited the grade-A classification by the American Hospital Association. The proposed institution will be manned almost wholly by Negroes, and will serve patients of every race and creed. The site of the new hospital has not yet been selected Dentist Robbed Finger print experts and crack detectives of Newton Station have been leaving no stone unturned, but have been temporarily baffled in an attempt to run to earth the burglaries who robbed the elaborate dental offices of Dr. Theo. Banks at Washington and Central, Christmas Eve night. Over $250 worth of valuable instruments and gold were stolen by the marauders who pried open the drawers of cabinets with a "jimmy". Boys of Engine Co. No. 30 and Truck No.11 Dispense Cheer We were in hopes of furnishing a cut with this write-up of the very splendid showing made by the above Departments, Christmas Eve, and for that reason have delayed the men tion heretofore. Not being able to secure the cut, we can but say the boys headed by Mr. Dixon of the Los Angeles Fire Department acquired themselves nobly and dispensed the Christmas spirit among those who needed it the most. Mr. Dixon who led the forces for Christmas cheer, is not only a member of the Department, but of the American Legion and of the Disabled Veterans of the World's War. He is a Santa Claus for the poor and needy and has been for the past decade. Through Major Jack Dill, also a member of the D. V. W. W. and Chief Ralph J. Scott he was able again on December 24th, 1928 to be furnished with a big truck and plenty of help from the L. A. F. D. to visit the homes of more than 200 poor and needy, leaving with each a big sack of provisions and good wishes. Negro May Derive Benefits From Fight For Congressional Re- Apportionment Negro May Derive Benefits From Fight For Congressional Re- Apportionment WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 7. The ond saying, "When thieves fall out honest men get their just deserts," can be aptly applied to the interests of the Negro and of those who are fighting in the present congress for reapportionment of representation. The battle to reallot the number of representatives is essentially a conflict between the southern states, which have more representatives than they should and certain northern states which are denied their proper number. When Representative Clarence McLood, Michigan Republican, introduced his reapportionment bill, he aimed it at all of those states which he believes have been cheating Michigan of her proper representation. Most of these states are of the Southern Democracy where the Negro is disfranchised. The fight now being waged in Congress is revealing the extent of the cheating that has been going on. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution is supposed to guarantee to the Negro the right of suffrage, but in southern states, through one device or another, most of the Negro population is kept from the polls. The same amendment which contracts for the Negro's franchise further provides that: "Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state excluding the Indians not taxed." and it still further provides that such representation shall be denied in proportion as the states deny the right to vote for crime or treason. It is estimated that if the Fourteenth Amendment were enforced the southern states, which have disfranchised the Negro, would lose 33 out of their 104 congressmen and thereby 33 of their 126 electoral votes. Those 33 electoral votes to which the South is not entitled while disfranchising the Negro, would easily determine the result in a close presidential election. LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1929 Rep. George H. Tinkham, (Rep. Mass.) has previously sought to have congress properly enforce the Fourteenth Amendment. If he should join Rep. McLeod in the present fight, the following situation would be brought about: "Rep. McLeod's bill would make the function of reapportionment after each decennial census mandatory and ministerial, delegating the authority to the secretary of commerce in whose department the census is taken. The total number of representatives would remain the same but the population basis of representation would be increased. McLeod has enlisted the support of congressmen from his state who are protesting against the failure to reapportion on the basis of the 1920 census. This bloch threatens to hold up oil legislation in this session of Congress unless some action is taken on McLeod's bill In the very nature of things, Tinkham will be welcomed as an ally by the McLeod forces. The aim of both McLeod and of Tinkham is to secure a proper distribution of representation. The McLeod bloc will welcome whatever strength Tinkham may bring and the combination of McLeod and Tinkham will put the cheating southern states with their backs to the wall. Facing the dilemma of either losing their present representation in congress and in the electoral college or of withdrawing the devices which have been used to keep the Negro from voting, the whitte South may become more lenient and fair toward the Negro citizen. In this connection it is important to note, as it has been revealed repeatedly in Congress, that the barrier to the proper exercise of the franchise by the Negro in the South are not provided for in the laws of southern states. The Negro himself refrains from demanding the ballot because his experience has been that the attempt to vote would stir up ill feeling and would probably endanger his property or his life. But his vote is worth more than either his property or his life. Many leaders of the race, even in the South, are of the opinion that the Negro should awaken and begin the fight for the ballot right in the South, whatever the cost. The fight being made by McLeod and Tinkham will probably have the effect of mollifying the opposition to the Negro applicant for a ballot at southern polling places and of destroying the tendency on the part of polls officials in the South of creating ignentious and peculiar tests for Negro voters. At any rate, these leaders are urging the Negro in the South, not to give up and surrender their right, but to keep on trying and fighting, if need be, for their just participation in the affairs of their government. Receives $25.00 Reward For Finding Movie Director's Ring After a mad scramble of digging and sifting in a mud caked pit, partici- pated in by a large number of movie extras, the ring lost eight days agi by 'Red' Golden, able assistant director to King Vidor, was found by J. B. Morrow. Mr. Golden lost the ring while filming some scenes on Metro-Mayer Goldwyns' first all-colored cast picture, 'Halleluja.' At that time such value was put on the ring, that every- one thought it was a diamond ring. Since, however, it turned out to be just an ordinary cheap ring that the director valued only as a keepsake. Hence the enormous-reward. ```markdown ``` Heman Perry Found Dead In Kansas City, Missouri (By The Associated Negro Press) Heman Perry is dead. The man whose success and failure started the financial world was found dead here Friday morning from heart disease and his diligent effort to stake a comeback was stopped in its infancy. The life of Heman Perry reads like fiction. Born March 5, 1873, in Houston, Texas, in a hut, with an education that barely extended through seventh grade, he rose to an enviable position in the commercial world, at one time being referred to as the "Atlanta millionaire" and the "Financial Wizard", only to have his foundation swept from under him by the failure of one of his gigantic corporations. Mr. Perry began life's work as a farmer, at the early age of twelve. Two years later found him employed as an expert sampler of cotton with a Houston firm. Experience galped from the contact with men who were doing things on a big scale inspired him to enter the commercial field. His first venture in this direction was a solicitor for insurance companies. The success which he had in this capacity led him to endeavor to establish a Negro insurance company, with Negro capital, Negro management, and Negro policy holders. The story of his first meeting with the proposed directors and stockholders in the effort to found the Standard Life Insurance Company, is legendary in Atlanta, Georgia, where he began his operations. Old timers tell you of the awe-stricken group that listened to Mr. Perry talk of a Negro corporation capitalized at $100,000. Several are alleged to have asked him if he did not mean $10,000, but Perry was determined to do things on a big scale. After much hard work on the part of himself and his associates, Mr. Perry launched the Standard Life Insurance Company in June, 1913, which under his direction grew to be the largest Negro insurance company in the world, boasting of millions of dollars worth of business. Spurred on by the success he attained in the insurance field, Perry sought to expand his activities and in 1921 formed the Service Company, a corporation with a capital of $100,000, the purpose of which was to equip and operate a chain of foundations. dry cleaning plants in various cities and to promote other industries among Negroes. This was followed by the establishment of the Citizens' Trust Company with a capital stock of $250,000 and a surplus of $250,000. Perry was then riding upon the crest of the wave. In 1925 financial conditions in Georgia, bad loans, and frozen assets of the Service Company led to a crash which resounded throughout America, and started the "Financial Wizard" on the downgrade. He saw his brain child, The Standard Life Insurance Company, page into the insurance Company, pass into the hands of white capitalists, the Service Company wrecked, only the Citizens Trust Company survived, and the man who was the founder and moving spirit in each was on the outside. A few years ago, Mr. Perry started on his comeback. Again he turned to the insurance field, in which he had his first success. Selecting Missouri as his field of adventure, the once "Financial Wizard", started once more at the bottom. In the midst of his effort to climb back to the top he was NEW SCHOOL OF AVIATION AND AERO MOTOR COMPANY A school of aviation for our group has been opened by C. G. Hart at 1019 Forth 31st Street. He has a large shop equipped with real airplane parts; also several types of aviation motors. Courses can be had on installment payments, $14.00 per month gives actual flying and a ground course. Only new production Government licensed airplanes add Government licensed pilots are used. There will also be a special class for school boys using airplane part and motors. Mr. Hart will also convert the La Rhone rotary motor into a radio motor, expecting later to manufacture complete radial air cooled aviation motors. He is one of the early automobile men starting in February, 1904 building his first automobile in 1905. His long experience with the internal combustion motor gives him a good foundation for the manufacture of aviation motors. Head of Labor Union Speaks of Situation in the South and Elsewhere Head of Labor Union Speaks of Situation in the South and Elsewhere President Bowen, of the International Union, Bricklayers and Plasterers, Speaks His Mind on Labor "April 13, 1928 NOV. 16, 1928 "J. W. POTTER, SID PIDGON, W. P. LONG, J. HANLEY, Committee on Resolutions, Union No. 25 Florida, Sara-ota, Fla. "DEAR SIRE AND BROTHERS: "This letter is in response to your letter of March 28, with its enclosure of the resolution adopted by Local Union No. 25 on the question of issuing charters to local unions of colored members in Florida. "Our response is written in the nature of advice and suggestions based upon our experience elsewhere, and upon the experience of other international unions. We wish to place before you some considerations which we do not find in your letter or in your resolution. "Let us take up the propositions as numbered in your letter: "In regard to No. 1, your letter states that the Negro is in the South in great numbers. There can be no difference of opinion as to that. It is true and it is coming to be true that he also is in the North in great numbers." "In No. 2, you state that his stand ard of living is lower than the stand ard of the white men. In this regard it is our feeling that you have exam ined the matter superficially, forget ing many things which it is import ant to remember. Perhaps it is just here that most of the misunderstand ing arises. Any person, no matter what his color, will have a lower standard of living when he is compelled to work for lower wages. The white men and women of the cotton mills, whether in Massachusetts or in South Carolina, have a lower standard of living than the men in the building trades. Their wages are lower. Color does not necessarily enter into the matter. There are a great many black people in Washington, D. C., who have a higher standard of living than the stricken here Friday morning and passed away. Mr. Perry was a bachelor and practically lived to himself. His success as a bachelor was at one time as much heralded as that of his business endeavors. Friends of the deceased ex pressed the belief that if death had not intivered, "Gleman Perry would have come back." M. white people in the cotton mill industry, because they earn larger wages. It is our feeling that as long as the black man is denied the protection of organization he will have lower standards, because he will have lower wages. Of course, he may not at once raise his standards of living when his income is increased. But it is a sure thing that unless his wages are increased he never can raise his standards of living. He may stay down, in regard to all those things that the white race values, even if his wages are increased, but he MUST stay down if his wages are not increased. White men who have no organization generally are forced to accept lower wages and work more hours per day than those who are organized. We have raised the standards of the white men in our International Union, not because our membership is white, but because it is unionized. Let us now take your third numbered paragraph in which you say that the Negro can and will work cheaper. Is it not true that in most cases he works cheaper because he must work cheaper? It does not appear from any evidence that we have seen that he works cheaper because he wants to work cheaper. It is, on the contrary, because he has no alternative where he is denied the right of organization. This same statement has been loosely made about every race or class that has or has ever had low wages. And yet, taking the situation as it has been found in every country and among all races, there is not a race or a nationality that will not gladly take more wages when more wages can be had. Do we not all remember the days when the Irish immigrant was the plaything of the great steel mills and of the railroads, the low wage worker of the eighties and ninies, because he had strength of muscle and had no organization and because he came in great numbers? Well, we all know that the quick wit and native intelligence of the Irish soon ended that situation and the Italian came next to do the heavy work that the Irish learned to avoid. The South European races became the low wage workers. They also learned and now the black man follows them and is being used in the same manner. We can leave him where he is to be a constant menace to our own higher standards, or we can organize him and take him out of the wage-cutting union class. It seems to us that it is our choice, not his. If he is willing to organize and lift himself up, we ought to rejoice at one more danger removed from our industrial life. "In the present coal strike in Pennsylvania, the strike breakers are mostly black men. This, we are forced to believe, is not because they are black, but because they are unorganized and ignorant. Would it not be better for the union coal miners if the black men (Continued on Page St.) Anent the recent communication published in this column, straightening out the rumor which was ill founded as to the activities of this great organization, we have been in receipt of many communications in reference to the same. We are reproducing herewith one which we have from the pen of Mrs. Elzora Gibson. Mrs. Gibon is a highly refined and cultured woman of the white race, but is withal one who believes in the Golden Rule and its application to one and all alike and has no hesitancy in saying so: "REPLY TO FRIDAY MORNING CLUB I am glad to know that the Friday Morning Club has not been so as influence to have the merchants of this city discharge their colored help and replace them with white, as was the report, and also that they employ colored help but that seems to carry with it the thought of them as only servants. These colored women are American citizens, are the wives and mothers of American citizens, who went into the depths of War for America. These women are refined, educated and cultured, able to take a place in any club room, or lodge room or society of the highest class and should be accorded the same rights, privileges and opportunities of the wives and mothers of the white American citizens. They are human beings and children of the same God, who made all men equal. Do you think of them in this way? They spend their money in the stores of this city but are refused a seat at their lunch counters. Is this living the "Golden Rule"? What I would like to see and what seems to me to be true Christianity, would be that not only the Friday Morning Club but every other club to publicly declare themselves against segregation along all lines and in all public places. Give unto these American citizens of African descent the same opportunities and the same freedom of any other American citizen. If our Heavenly Father whom we all worship and our Elder Brother, Jesus, whose example we claim to follow made no distinction as to race or color, why should any human being step in and by his actions say I am the great and mighty judge? Are we usurping authority that does not belong to us? Stop and think "dear world," what we are doing. ELZORA GBESON." ```markdown ``` The Conference will be conducted in the regular forum manner, each speech being followed by questions and discussions, and the meetings will, no doubt, demand a large attendance from both Black and White groups, it is said. Of great interest to all Catholie (Continued on Page Six) If You Fail To Read----THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE----You May Never Know It Happened One of the most interesting of the new books of travel has just been added to the collection of the Helen Hunt Jackson Branch Library, Gordon MacCreagh, the well-known American explorer and writer tells in "The Last of Free Africa" about the country of Abyssinia. The title rather surprises those of us who think of Liberia, but the author explains why he chose it in a clever and vivid introductory chapter. His summary of Abyssinia is brilliant: "Abyssinia, the ancient kingdom of Ethiopia. The land of 'Prester John,' of the Queen of Sheba. The Unconquered. Free since before the beginning of history." He goes into detail as to the reasons for the general European rapacity toward what is probably the richest portion of Africa, and how the Abyssinians feel toward Europeans and Americans. It is just cause for pride that the people are appreciating more and more the American spirit which offers friendliness without imperialistic ambitions. The book is one of absorbing interest. It can be read solely as a delightful folio of travel. MacCreadh describes all the tribulations of trekking into the interior with all the drawbacks of official red tape and wild animals and native hostility, and the photographs are numerous and excellent. But the real importance of the book lies 'i nits keen and unbiased survey of political and social conditions in Abyssinia. "There is a chapter on slavery which opens up fresh fields of thought on the subject, and the whole effect of the book is to shed splendid new light on a nation which has too often been misrepresented.

The earth swings back The billowy clouds boom 'round-- I'm alone in space, I hear naught but the motor's perfect sound. I go on the bird. The checkered earth lies far below— Clouds flash by— Little islands of seey snow. I rise and fall.

SOCIAL SECTION BY: ARTIS N; WARD Of the Ward School of Aviation (Continued from Last Issue) This is a resume of the history of the Ornithopter continued from the last issue of the Eagle. Compare man's rigid single surface plane to the wing of a bird; the one, man, an inanimate object, the other pulsating with life, moved by muscles consisting of thousands of muscular fibres actuated by a nervous system working with the velocity of light from a central point; the framework formed of the finest, slenderest bones, elastic and delicately flexible. Again consider the instinct possessed by the bird. Derived from the experience of thousands of years it is highly sensitive to the slightest variation in the wind and is absolutely familiar with the medium in which it travels. How different the case or a human flight. How shall man's senses of the aerial ocean which he has set himself to conquer. How clumsy and slow the machine he must use, when compared with the denzens of the air. And above all how lacking in intimacy are the man, the motor and the planes, so different from the bird. History of Aviation in Germany, beginning in 1924: German night air transport. Berlin - Koenigsberg night airway fully lighted. Three engine planes used. by: Erhardt Milch, Director of the German Luft Hansa. "Clearly recognizing that flying at night is one of the main requirements of the future of air transport, the official of the German Luft Hansa Air Service have been particularly interested in the development of night flying. "In 1924 and 1925 extensive trials were carried out on a number of night routes by the German Air Transport companies operating at that time. These trials had shown up such excellent results that the new German Air Transport combined the Luft Hansa in the beginning of 1926 started night flying service for passengers. "On May 1, the night route Berlin-Danzig-Koenigsberg (over 400 miles) was opened up and carried regularly until the beginning of the winter service on November 15th. The record attained on these night routes for passenger service during the summer was splendid. A reliability and punctuality of nearly 100 per cent was achieved. Besides a large number of passengers a considerable amount of mail, newspapers and freight were carried on this line. "For the first time in Europe every body could make use of the airplane for traveling at night. All the passengers were thrilled by the wonderful aspect of the illuminated cities at night. They were all enchanted by the advance of human ability. Based on these results, the system of night routes will be further extended next year. The new lines will as in the case of the route B. D. K. be equipped with complete night flying illumination. "The night route has been operated with three-engine junkers, G. 24 monoplanes which for this purpose (Continued in Page Four) COAL WOOD Wilson Feed & Fuel 3209 1/2 S.

GORDON GRACE COMA If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened Bringing good cheer to the needy and scattering rays of sunshine into the darkest of corners, is one of the many virtues of the Dodecagenian Art Club. This club is composed of twelve of Los Angeles' most comely and talented young girls, who gave two large baskets filled with groceries of all kinds on New Year's to two needy families, which was not only a commendable deed for them, but also a good start for the New Year. The members of the 'Dodec' Club have found that it is far more blessed to give than to receive. Mrs. B. L. Donaldson and her charming daughter, Mrs. L. W. Harris of 1003 E. 42nd St., are very happy and elated over the arrival of her son and brother Xmas day from the East, Mr. Donaldson's visit in our city is indefinite, but at this writing he is very much pleased with sunny California.

"You're Next" P GLADYCE GREENAWAY Now that Christmas celebrations are over and 1929 is in the "infant class" we are again before the public. (Do we hear cheers or cat calls?) Well here goes the ball "a-rolling." One of the most interesting house affairs given at the close of dear old 1928, was the birthday party in honor of Mr. Leon Perdue, Wednesday, December 25th at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. B. Perdue of East 55th street. The beautiful house was jammed with friends and well wishers, anxious to extend felicitations to the guest of honor.

A very enjoyable evening was spent, with confetti, gayly colored paper and a Christmas tree to make it a Carnival affair. Music by Mr. LaVerne Floyd and his syncopators. Even though the dollar is worth 100 times as much as the penny, it isn't as good because the penny goes to church every Sunday. We wonder what's become of the "Iconoclasts" and the "Cynosure Club"? * * * Mr Walter Floyd, in company with Messrs. Jean Pichet and Earl Lewis, returned to Sacramento to continue his studies, December 31st. The young men possessed a Ford coupe, and were thus able to return to school in the nick of time to start 1929 off with a bang. Everyone was sorry that Mr Lucius Jenkins was unable to visit L.A. during the holidays. Social Notes: "Mjss G. Greenaway spent Christmas day very quietly at home cooking dinner." "Miss G. Greenaway spent New Year's day enjoying dinner cooked by someone else." Editor's Comment: Evidently the above person "saw the light" and profited thereby. 1. ★ ★ ★ One thing about attending the "Tournament of Roses" it does give you an opportunity to value even a little common thing like a kitchen chair. We parked our car in Pasadena, walked one mile until we thought we'd found a gap in the sidewalk, was asked to "move on" several times, waited two hours for the parade, spent another hour or so, watching the parade, and was ready to give up the ghost because there hadn't yet appeared a member of our race, when lo! and behold marching, proudly with members of Monrovia's High School band came our little life saver. We don't know who he is, but he certainly saved the day because he was the ONLY colored youngster in the parade. Wouldn't it be gorgeous if the business group could be "among those present" in next year's Pageant?

The boy himself does more than his teachers to lay the deeper foundations of his life in the hours he spends with his heroes, who teach him ideals and ambitions and write their message deep in his heart. These heroes, mythical and shadowy though they be, have power over him and gain his love and confidence, and the bend and fiber of his character inevitably reflect their inspiration, It used to be that knights of old or spectacular heroes of pioneer days were the boon companions of the youthfhl spirit. But the daily newspaper in every household has wrought its miracle even with the boy. His-heroes today are on the front pages of the paper; they are athletes, soldiers and sailors, avia- tors and explorers, and men everywhere who give their strength or hazard their lives in some deed of unselfishness and sacrifice, Boy nature demands heroes, and the boy’s heroes today are of his own generation and very much alive in the world with him. He may see them, hear their voices and follow their story from day to day, The picture of Lindbergh hangs on the wal of countless boys’ bedrooms; they can read the bopk he has written and catch a glimpse of him as he rides his swift steed above the cities of America. The wise parent and teacher will encourage such hero worship, so that the torch of high empire may one day pass to hands that are ready for it. If Patrick Henry, when he said, “Give me liberty or give me death,” had been asked to define liberty by the particular restraints which he found more grievous to be borne than death itself, he would doubtless have named such as those which a few months later were recited in the Declaration of Indepen- dence, Yet while the specific complaints were laid against “a prince whose character was marked by any act which may de- fine a tyrant,” there was no clear definition of the liberty which, second to life itself, was declared to be the inalienable right with which the Creator has endowed all men. The Bill of Rights give assurance to the individual of the preservation of his liberty, but they dd not define the liberty they promise. Herein lies the cause of much strife and the ba- sis for marked differences in opinion. Somewhere the line must be drawn, for liberty is in the most literal sense the negation of the law, law being restraint and the absence of all restraint anarchy. To fix the line which will give both the individual and the group scope and oppor- tunity for harmonious development is the overshadowing prob- lem of liberty and law. Lawmakers have yet to learn-fo consider personal liberty when protecting public rights, and to consider public rights when protecting personal liberty. To be good legislation, laws must offend neither. | Hitch-hiking has become so common that the average mot- orist, even if he is taking only a short trin, is almost certain to be hailed several times and asked for a ride. If he hurries on, he is followed by imprecations. Unfortunately, if the motorist is soft-hearted and gives the stranger free passage he may find that he has picked up trouble. If he has an accident and his self-invited passenger is inivred, he may be sued for damages. If he is no more lucky than a number whose adventures have been reported, he may find that he is entertaining a bandit during the latter's working hours. There are thousands of men who tour, or commute, and neither buy gasoline nor pay railroad fare. If these were to pay their way, either the railroads or the automobile industry, or both, would prosper, And not all of them beg transportation by necessity. Most car owners are reluctant to see hitch-hiking outlawed because of the opportunities it offers school boys to see their country, but the practice has long since attained the proportions of a public nuisance. Many municipalities are curbing it, but beyond their corporate limits the vagabond, modern style, is at liberty to jerk his thumb off without molestation. JUST ANOTHER STEP It has been heralded far and near that the Hon. Oscar De- priest in going to take his seat in Congress will be accompanied by a monster delegation, brass bands, etc. W ehope this is but a suggestion which will not be carried out. It would indeed, to our way of thinking, be far more proper for all concerned that thig epochal event should be considered as ‘‘just another day” of progress and in a sjlent manner demonstrate the fact that Justice and the square deal'will in due time assert itself. This would excell by far any beating of drums or sounding of brass at the portals of Congress on this particular, occasion. THE CEMENT TRUST They all say there is suéh a thing as the cement trust, They go farther than that and say that this same trust has a strangle hold on selling their product at an agreed price which the trust made for its own convenience and profit. If this is so, the peo- ple would indeed be justified in expecting their representatives in the City Council and other places,.to do all in their power to open up the way where others might enter into active competi- tion with the trust to the end that the burden resting upon the Taxpayers will be relieved to the extent of millions of dollars. Live and learn how to live. The “hit-and run” motorist wins no- plaudits from the grandstand. | Government under peace conditions is not very expensive, but war falls on the stork. | Original nian: A chap who hasn't yet been caught steal- ing the other fellow’s stuff. The authoritative word from Paris for early 1929 is that legs will be about the same length. ee About the height of redundancy would be to say that a politician in Mexico is buried, and then add “politically.” In some respects the breed is impréving: Not so many of the younger element this winter are pasting their hair into position. | Woinan seldom gets a thrill except the first time she is married-and the first time she enters a barber shop. i The boss can pick out those who cinch their jobs by deliv- ering the goods. They don’t laugh at his stories. COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON J An old Jqurnakst speaking of what was news said, “If dog bites a man, that’s not news; but should a man bite a dog that’s news.”” The lynching of a Negro in Mississippi is no xjnews, for the same reason that a dog biting a man is not news )}We only comment on the event because the torture of the victim | showed some more of refinement (?) than is ordinarily exhib. - ited on similar occasions. They erected a pyre’of several cords 1 of wood so arranged with mathematical precision, that it would ; take several hours before the victim would bé roasted complete. ily. John Duval, a carpenter at the Mississippi State peniten. jtiary, had an altercation with Charley Shepherd, a Negro trus. ‘ity. Duval was killed. Shepherd escaped, but gave himself up . to a former employer. As he was being taken to prison a mob {intercepted them and he was paraded about before being roasted. The National Guard was called out, but for what, no- body knows. The preparations for the orgie were all made ahead in the anticipation of Shepherd’s capture. They were made in the full knowledge of Governor Bilbo. It is to be re- gretted that the culture and good name of the United States should be sullied, by such an act of barbarism as that shown by the denizens of Mississippi. To be held up before the civilized world as having such attrocious acts within its borders is not conducive to the world respect of any government, however powerful. The Gov. of Mississippi, Bilbo says, “I have neither. the time or the money to investigate two thousand people.” Is not that a splendid example of our vaunted national superiority? Tt required 2000 men, women and children to see that one of the human family was roasted to his death by a slow fire. God pity our vaunted superiority. Instead of carrying “Good Will” to our Latin neighbors, it would be advisable to carry common decency to Mississippi. ee 8 ee | ‘There passed to his long rest, a man young in years, who had he lived would have made his impress for good in the affairs of California. William Douglas died at his home in Berkely, Dec, 30, 1928, He was of a retiring disposition, never obtrusive but when aroused by controversy, his information and erudi- tion were at once made evident, William Dauglas was a gradu-, ate of the University of California. He majored in Economics as corallary to commercial law. He was but, beginning to take | an active part in the public affairs of his community and his ad- | vice was sought on matters of importance. It wag his-ambition to be of service, but he believed firmly in the thorough prepara: | tion for service. It was a pleasure to draw him out of his re- serve and drink from his fountgin of information. He had an analytical mind and was never satisfied with generalities, It | was his desire, at all times, to try to solve the reason why. As |) we stated he was making a thorough preparation for his en- || trance into public life, but his death induced"by a severe at-| rack of double pneumonia, caused a shortening of a promising |' career. The community can ill afford to lose such men as|! Douglas. Men who are sincere, men who are loyal, men who ire honest, are scarce. Such men would have the mantle of). eadership thrust about them, Such a man was William Doug-|; as. He had a happy married life, leaving as a widow his de-|; voted companion, the former Alice Bynum, A number of fam-|. ly ties, in Mr. and Mrs. Grichott, Mr. and Mrs. Hall of San/, Francisco, Mrs. Alex Turner and mother, White of Berkeley ind a number of igtimate friends, who extend their sympathy |; © the bereaved. ; ee : i New Yory City and State is noted for one outstanding at- |; ribute: the “door of opportunity” is never closed in the face | 17 any man or Woman because of race. creed or color.

Other industries have had a like experience, “In many cities, in the South as well as in the North, the black men are in our union. That is particularly true in the South in New Orleans. There is ‘ho complaint there about col- ored men menacing the standards of white men. The union has raised the standards of all. “You speak about ~the danger of bringing the standards of white men dowe to the standards accepted by. black men. Why not turn it the other way around? Why not help the color- ed‘man to bring his standards up to the standards of the white man? So long as there is one man, Black or white, outside the union, the standards fixed by the union are in danger. What danger to white standards of work can there bé if th» black man {s able to demandpand get the same standards? “Dhere‘is no question of what is called ‘social equality’ in this matter.

So also do the black men Ive in Florida and have their homes there and they probably will be there as long as the white people are there.

If it is dur- ing the summer they have baseball, track and some field .events. The girls are also awarded letters accord- ing to the number of points they mike. It a girl makes a team, supposedly a track team, she is given. a numeral with a wing-foot on it. A few of our girls make letters and few of them make numerals, Looking around Poly in the @. A.

Last week, there was a bit of information in these columns, calling the public's atrention to we progressive attitude of our business men, by cleaning up, and in various ways, miodermizing their places. Let's not stop there. Let's go further, and demand now, that the pnblic does its sbare, Demand that the} support shese people who improve their places for the benetit of the public. Ask that same geuial public to ask. its city fathers to remedy its streets, and lighting effects, We need brighter lights along the Avenue, There isn't any necessity for having them stop at cighteenth streét, Those old fash- fonod street corner lights, most of ihe time are out or bickering so badly that one qin hardly see.

The actual construction of the rail line as well as the dam must wait on the ratification of the so called Colorado compact by at least six of the interested states, which may take several months. In the mean time however plans may be completed so that actual work can star as soon as the compact has been ratified. ROSE TOURAMENT SPECIAL LOADED Decorated with flowers and branches of orange trees, bearing the golden fruit, a special train left Chicago on the evening of Dec. 28 for the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena New Year's Day. The Tournament of Roses Special will leave for Los Angeles on that date, according to announcement by Jas. B. Daffy, General Passenger Agent. "The tourist travel to California during the holiday season is the heaviest in years," said the official. "Two sections of The Chief, extra fare train, were operated for Christmas travel to Los Angeles. All other transcontinental trains of the system have been loaded, and this is taken as but a forerunner of what is to come after January 1." SANTA FE ORDERS 4575 NEW CARS That the Santa Fe railroad looks forward to a prosperous year is at tested by an order placed for 4575 new passenger, and freight cars for delivery during 1829, according to announcement by F. J. Mackie, Acting Assistant General Manager of the Coast Lines. The order includes 10 combination chair and smoking cars; 10 combination cars, Texas and Louisiana Lines; sixteen 70 foot baggage cars, two 80½ foot dining cars, 14 mail and baggage cars and two business cars, totalling 64 all-steer construction. The freight equipment order includes 2000 box cars, 500 refrigerator cars, 850 gondola cars, 200 flat cars, 500 single-deck stock cars and 250 double deck stock cars; 125 steel cabooses. FINE STATION TO BE ERECTED Plans have been announced for a beautiful new passenger station to be built at Fullerton, junction of the Santa Fe's San Diego and Riverside-San Bernardino lines. The Mission type of architecture will be followed, and the structure will be similar in character to new depots at Monrovia and Claremont. The Fullerton station will be erected east of the present station. It was announced. STORK VISITS GLOVERS A package containing a bouncing boy consigned to Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Glover was delivered to their number Mother and baby doing fine. The Clatter congratulates Mr. and Mrs. Glover over this new addition and wish for them many more sons and some daughters. SANTA FE'S MISSIONARY DERAILED Revenge on the part of two men, probably disgruntled former employees, is thought to have been the motive for the wrecking of the Santa Fe eastbound Missionary train No. 22 near Hesperia a few days ago. Eight persons were officially listed as injured while scores were severely jolted and many slightly bruised. Much credit is due Al. C. Long, veteran Engineer who used his wits quickly and saved more than 200 lives by quick application of the emergency brakes after having been knocked from his seat in the cabin. HERE AND THERE William Sproule, after forty-one years' service with the Southern Pacific company retired today as president of the raidroad to be succeeded by Paul Shoup, executive vice-president A $9,000,000 order for locomotives to be delivered early this year has been placed with the American Lo If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened comotive Company by the New York Central. The Reading system plans spending $35,000,000 for improvements, a great part of this su mwill be spent for electrification through the metropolitan district of Philadelphia. James A. Talbot, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Fokker Aircraft Corporation says that within a few years airplanes will carry passengers and express matter at rates lower than those possible to any surface carrier. Maturities of railroad bonds and notes during 1929 are estimated at more than $353,000,000 as compared with $292,000,000 in 1928 and $357,000,000 in 1927. Legislation governing the Interstate Commerce Commission may be amended, instructing the Interstate Commerce Commission to take a less obstructive attitude towards proposed proposed consolidations looking to the carrying out of the plan endorsed by Congress to weld the nation's many railroads into a score or more well-rounded systems. Not one merger of the first magnitude has yet been sanctioned by the commission. RED CAP DOINGS A Xmas box containing Southern Smoked Ham, Bacon and Sausage, shipped from Texas by Mr. Carter Harris was received at the station Xmas—a very timely gift. The formal dance of the Red Caps and Porters Association will be given in February this year. If you are going to be in that number better see Williams and Glover. Mr. Palmer remarked to the writer if few days ago—1929 will tell the story. Just what do you mean? Mr. and Mrs. H. Galloway of 115th Street (they call it South Los Angeles—Watts) are sending out invitations to a House-Warming. We thought that house was warm enough for you Galloway. Mr. A. Lewis for some reason is all smiles these days. The writer is conducting an investigation. The boys are again dining at John's Place, once closed, now open again. Wonder how long. The happiest man on the force is E. Dixon. Dick is smiles (not grins) all day long. The harder the work the pleasanter the smiles. Wish I could be so pleasant, don't you? There is a certain little office on San Pedro street where Dixon is seen quite often. We must investigate. The Worthy Chaplain of the Red Cap Porters Association, Mr. W. M. Young, who has been on sick leave for about four weeks is well and on the job again to the satisfaction of all concerned. .SOUTHERN PACIFIC DOPE Vandy Thompson, "The Baby Chef" who has been off owing to a death in the family is making a few extra trips on the Daylight. Two waiters on the same car, who happen to be on an evening run are wearing decorations below and above their optics—Maybe they were looking into the future. Sam T. Phillips breakfasted with some Pasadena friends. New Year's morning and viewed the Rose parade from a living room of an Orange Grove residence all in the same day. Louis Abernathy is all smiles since Saute put a Buick Master Six in his stocking Xmas. The gang seems to think Abbie struck OTL. A certain Pantryman on The Golden State who missed his run some few moons ago in dear old Chi, awakened Neus morn with a jaw about the size of Mt. Lowe; and the strange part of it all the dead boy could not explain the reason for same. SANTA FE JINGLES Bob Monjoie's behavior will never be other than it is at present. As to making resolutions Bob says let by gones be by-gones. Dou Pieri writes from Phoenix Arizona that he is "getting a break." This news was welcomed by his old comrades who are clated over this belated ship's arrival. W. J. Bailey, Hugh Henderson and Emory Breeding, stepped out for a large evening at "The Green Parrot." It is a good thing that this parrot is green, and cannot talk. Austin Harris who has been on such an extended vacation is back in circulation. He found the bunch glad to see his return. Got Buck Robinson is on The Chief. Gene Roberts' behavior is the same as usual. Mr. Thurman (Half Hundred) is in our midst again. Bear Henderson with his continued smile santered around to pay us a belated visit and wish us a Happy New Year. The Three Nuts are still sticking around and may crack one of their number as a new year move. Lukoff Bros.
