A REPRESENTATIVE APPLICANT
For a number of years, the colored citizens of Los Angeles County have been expecting recognition by way of appointment of one from among them. In the office of the District Attorney or this County, it has been rumored that the present incumbent of that office may appoint a qualified colored person as Deputy.
For several months, the application of Attorney Leon Whitaker has been on file, awaiting the time for examination.
Other persons have stepped into the field, circulating petitions, and seeking the endorsements of individuals and of civic bodies.
Mr. Fitts may rest assured that Attorney Leon Whitaker, Mason, Legionnaire, Chairman of the Legal Committee of the N. A. A. C. P. Forum member, and a member and a worker in a number of welfare organizations and activities, who is properly waiting for the civil service examination, has the wholehearted backing of 95 percent of the colored citizens of Los Angeles.

Secret Hopes Suppressed By Mental Censor
Secret Hopes Suppressed By Mental Censor
Suppressed desires, made famous years ago by Skimkum Freud said they were the basis of dreams, have uncovered some well-guarded secrets of motion picture people. According to psychologists there is a "censer" in one's mental equipment which stands guard over one's desires allowing some to pass unabridged while others are altered severely or selected wholly to the depths of unfulfilled. Freud became famous with his theory that dreams were the outlet of suppressed desires. If a person of dreams at throwing tomatoes at an orator, it is because he has always wanted to do this. Or the dream may be carefully cloaked. For instance, if a fellow chains lightning while slumbering, it is probably that the ligh ning is his boss and he therefore has fulfilled his desire to tame the beast.
THEIR HOPES REPRESSED
Various motion picture people made unique confessions today in speaking of their suppressed desires.
Gary Cooper, it seems, has had a throw-back desire from his rock-throwing career as a boy. It is to have the solid object at a huge crystal-covered object. He partially fulfills this desire by playing on china dishes and at toy balloons in concession booths at nearby beaches.
When Richard Arlen was an extra without auto or even bicycle, he was an inveterate rider of street cars and his almost uncon rollable desire was to extend an arm from the window and slide a traffic policeman's hat to the ground as the car passed.
Clara Bow admits it is the tom-yo in her that gives her a surging yen to make a trial climbing a telegraph pole.
MARY'S NOT CONTRARY
And sweet, unspoiled, Mary Brian, breaks down with the admission that she has always longed to crack her gum, but has had to pass it by, because of inability to make any brand or gum create a noise.
It is well known that William Wellman, director of "Wings," has a Peck's Bad Boy desire. He recently gave vent to it by pushing every button on an executive's filter-office phone and enlisting theanche of assistants into that office.
Ester Ralston has a perfectly natural repressed desire. It comes to help when she stand on a sound stage watching a scene being filmed, when everything is necessarily quiet. She says she experiences a great urge to cough or scream just to break the science.
Charles Rogers reluctantly said that his favorite idea is to let all the air out of the cars of studio executives which are parked nearby the studio. He admits this confession might be used against him some time.
CHESTER WOULD DYE
A comedy twister on the subject is provided by Chester "Conklin," who gives information that he has always longed to show up on a set with his famous walrus mustache dyed green and yellow on alternate sides.
Evelyn Brent's greatest, longing has been to scream loudly into a microphone during a talking scene just to see how much of the apparatus would go to pieces. This confession, while giving the answer from A.伯恩Sartt, chief sound technician at Parmount, that his repressed desire is to strangle anyone who would do
Wife Fails To Return; Jails "Fixer"
Gulfport, Miss., Feb. 6.—Josh Scott, "vooodo" doctor, was bound over to the grand jury under $500 bond by Justice H. D. Moore, Tuesday afternoon on a charge of obtaining money under false pretence.
Scott, who weighs 310 pounds, was arrested at the insistence of Louis Taylor, Mississippi City, who claimed he paid the "doctor" $31 to influence his estranged wife to return to him. Taylor claimed that he faithfully complied with the instructions of the "conjurer" which were "to wear the big in his left pants pockets and dress it with a few drops of magic oil each day and let no one touch it. The "magic oil" was furnished by Scott. Taylor preferred charges of false pretence against the "doctor" when
Pyramid Co-operative Association Has Its Formal Opening
The very latest business venture via the cooperative way for which all hands have dreamed and hoped is at last a reality as announced in our last issue the Pyramid Store, No. I. W was opened to the public on last Monday with appropriate exercises at the U. N. I. A. Hall 27th and Central Ave. in celebration of the occasion.
In eager anticipation of a movement so fraught with constructive possibilities for the group the hall was crowded to listen in on the program for the evening. At 8 P. M. Rev. J. D. Gordon acting as Master of Ceremonies openly welcomed who chosen and forceful remarks as this eminent divine is noted for.
Mr. Hugh Gordon was then introduced and gave a history of the cooperative movement and of the formation of the company. We might add here that Mr. Hugh Gordon is spirit and fact the father of the movement and has been responsible perhaps more than any other one person for its realization.
Mr. Menles Carerre was the next speaker, which was educational especially along the line of economics and the co-operative movement at hand. Mr. Carerre has been a wheel horse in the present movement and through his guidance it has reached its present stage. He is the General Manager of the Pyramid movement, Mr. Johnson, Jr. next spoke on Salesmanship which was an inspiration to all present.
Elder P. J. Rodgers of the Adventist Church spoke along the lines of encouragement for the movement and advising a strong co-operation to make the chain a huge success.
Mrs. Gallerson of the Women's Anxiliary, made a strong speech. Visit the new store.
At the conclusion of the meeting all hands adjourned to the store, itself which is only one black distant, 2606 Central Avenue and there. Inspected he store first hand for themselves.
They found here, a modern, neat, clean and freshly stocked grocery store and Meat Market, it is easily a $5000 plant. They found an alert and courteous staff of clerks, who appeared as if they were eleven in waiting on customers. The personnel of which are Leroy Johnson, clerk; F. J. Whitley, clerk; Leroy Whitley, butcher; Mentes, Carrere, General Manager.
Attorneys Form New Firm
With the announcement this week that on Saturday, February 16, 1928, there will be a formal opening of the law offices of the firm of MURDCOK, TAYLOR & RAGLAND in a four room suite in the new Blodgette Building, suite 310-12-14-16, created unusual interiors in the younger professional group in this City.
These men have set a new high water mark in the matter of elegant appointments and up-to-the-minute details in office equipment and facilities to clients, it is said by observers who have seen the new offices.
The firm is composed of Calvin W. Murdock, formerly associated with attorney Lewis, K. Beeks. Mr. Murdock is a graduate of Rogers University and Lincoln University Law School and for five years a members of the Los Angeles Bar; Curtis Cavielette Taylor, a graduate of Prairie View College, Texas and of the Law School of Howard University, Washington, D. C. who was admitted to the Bar in 1927; and Erskine S. England, who did his college work at the University of California, Los Angeles, and who took his Degree in Law from the University of California, Berkely. All three young men are possessed of exceptional qualities of character, fitness, and ability, and much is expected or them in their new association. Beautiful invitations are out and hundreds of people are expected to attend.
His wife failed to return. It is said his wife negroes along the coast and a large number of white persons have been seized by Scott, who gives 2615 Washington avenue as his New Orleans address.
Miss Roverdia Lee Woods who lives at 4th and Lickett St., was a member or the graduating class of Roosevelt High, School on January 30th.
Miss Woods was active in the Girl's Glee Club and in the G. A. and also
took part in the Commencement Exercises of both the Summer and Mid Winter semesters.
Miss Wood is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Wood. Her father, the late Mr. Wood, it will be remembered was one of Los Angeles' prominent and active business men; he was the owner of the Wood's Block, 9th and Central Avenue and of many other valuable pieces of property. Mrs. Wood her mother, who at all times advised and assisted her husband, has, since his passing, carried on in a most provident manner the work which he initiated.
Allege A Reign of Terror At Blythe, Calif.
The following letter to Atty. H. Macbeth describes the situation at this time at Blythe, where Jim-Crow Schools were sought.
"Attorney Hugh Macbeth."
"Dear Sir; Your information by telegram received in time for trial. However the defendant was found guilty and fined Ten Dollars. Said defendant was arrested by Sheriff with warrant charging him with "Keeping Child From School." This girl is past fifteen years of age, as the trial brought out in its process. The defendant was fined because he failed to encourage his daughter to walk or refuse to carry her himself. He questioned the right of the superinfentent of schools. Prof. Scott, to impose a penalty of such nature on a student, I may say here, the girl was refused the right to ride on bus being charged with use "vulgar language" and impenitence and general indifference on school ground. However, no complaint was made to her parents. No warning was issued to defendant prior to arrest. Prof. Scott states, "the penalty of walking has been imposed upon several white boys because of ill behaviour and it is a custom, in this Valley."
"Dear Sir, the true fact is that the whole court constitutes the same crowd bent on segregating the school in September, 1928. Evidently, they intend to resort to a reign of terror to intimidate our people and make us rue the chance of segregated schools. Until we are able to make Mr. Scott and Moore see themselves as public servants instead of Dictators, we are going to have trouble.
"If you can use the information given to awaken these servants to the possibility of losing their positions we are ready to do our best in supporting you. From time to time unpleasant things are let loose to insult our people."
Yours,
SOME THINGS NEGROES CAN DO IN CULTIVATING BETTER RACE RELATIONS
Following the urgent request of my friends after my sermon last Sunday morning, I am reproducing the salient points of the sermon for publication in some of our Race journals.
Text: Romans 12:18- "If it be possible, as much as lieve in you, live peaceably with all men."
By the order the Federal Council of Church in America the Sunday nearest Lincoln Birthday has been set aside at Race Relations Sunday. In some cities there is a free exchange of pulpits by pastors of various nations and nationalities. This is particularly true in such cities as Chicago, Cleveland, and even in Louisville, Kentucky. Here in the West there is very little of inter-changes of pulpits, and the various pastors preach sermons on some phase of the General topic of Race Relations.
Were I speaking to a congregation of mixed races, I would speak on a different topic this morning, but topic, "Some Things Negroes Can Do is of the Negro race, I shall use as a topic, "Some Things Negroes San Do in Cultivating Better Race Relations."
I wish to tell you frankly in the beginning that it is not my purpose to bring to you much new information on the subject discussed. That to me is not the title. That to me is you to leave this service merely saying that you enjoyed the sermon address or that the preacher exhibited a fine display of his oratorical powers. That also is of little interest and consequently I do want each one of us every man, woman, boy and girl to leave this place determined ever after for days, weeks, months and years to follow in actual practice the program of cultivating better race relationships which I plan to outline.
RACE HATRED NOT ONE-SIDED
First of all, let us confess that American race antipathy or race hatred is not a one-sided matter. We are not only shunned against, but we also are not shunned against. I hate that you agree with me? Perhaps I had better illustrate that point.
Several years ago a white man went the round of the churches of all races of this city and was most impressed with our church and our services generally. He was not a professing Christian, but made a profession and unified with us. He attended the services of this church regularly, and kept up with all the requirements of the church. He remained with us for more than a year. He sat among some of our most religious members in the class meeting, but these very people by their coldness, and actual talk he could hear it said: "I don't see why that white man stays around here; why doesn't he go to church; why doesn't he go to church he was not wanted and left, perhaps never to dedicate his life again anywhere to church services.
First of all, let us confess that Amer- and unprejudiced study of Race Relations and race situations.
Too many of our decisions are arrived at without accurate and intelligent study. We are past masters in the fine art of "snap judgment." Now snap judgment may be right and it may be wrong. It is too uncertain however to trust. To illustrate: When I first came to this city I went to see the family of a devout member of this church whose wife was the member or another church. As I looked her over for the first time, my snap judgment gave me the decision that she was as bad as Zantippe. Socrates wife, and perhaps more disagreeable and difficult to get along with. I kept this snap judgment for her for years. A few years ago there arose some difficulty in the family in the adjustment of which I was called into consultation. To my amazement I found this woman I had classed by snap judgment as the acme of disagreeableness, unusually kind, considerate, entirely unselfish and even, further, miserable. Another I told her of the error of my snap judgment afterwards and begged her pardon for having thought ill of her so many years. I have said that to say this, that it is not wise for us to make our decision of the attitudes of other races toward us by snap judgment. We are living in a scientific age. We must therefore give accurate and scientific study to the attitude of other races toward
us. How shall we ever be able to solve these problems unless we intelligently understand them. As a race we need to know the reason why white people do not like to work with colored people on the same job. Why there is a stir in practically every community of white people when a Negro moves in. We should accurately know where a Negro is going to be separated in hotels, restaurants, bathing and the like. Do you think we shall ever be able to assist in solving these problems without knowing something about them?
White people are making a real study of us. There is not a single church among them which is not making some accurate study of the Negro. While they are studying us we are only thinking a little about them until through our snap judgment we get "heet up" over the subject and cease our study altogether. Let each of us go along from this place determined to make an accurate study of the Race Question after the manner of real genuine research on the matter. It is only as we know problems that we shall be able to solve them.
SECOND—We must dedicate ourselves to the task of making friends of other races. To depend on mere law and force in this age is to depend on nothing trustworthy. Laws for race adjustments and against discriminations on our state books are helplessly homeless unless they are backed by principles which undergird these laws. There are no forces in the world better for race relationships than friendship and love. Make friends. It seems rather providential that Ne(Turn to Page Six)
Associated Loan Company Building Its Per manent Home
East Side it have fine office building and apartment house. The ground has been broken for one of the finest apartment houses and office buildings at 905 East Jefferson. This building is to be known as The Associated Loan Company Building, built by Sidney P.
SIDNEY P. DONES
Dones, head of this Corporation, One of the main features of this building is to provide modern apartments at the lowest rental rate ever known in this city. These apartments will be four rooms and will include single unit heating system, general electric refrigeration system and will be modern according to the high class Hollywood decided that the rent for these apartments will not exceed $30.00 per month. They will be ready for occupancy April 1, 1928. Mr. Dones feels that members of our group are entitled to a modern apartment at $30.00 per month and against the advice of bankers and business associates, he has definitely decided that no apartment in this building will rent in excess of
SINCE RETURNING to my desk atter some two months' absence I have had my first opportunity to glance over "Flash." It is a neatly gotten up, well-balanced magazine and "Flash" has force back of it. Its editor, Fay Jackson-Robinson and James W. McGregor, are two well trained young people, and I hope that this initial effort to establish and maintain a purity Western magazine will be abundantly successful.
"As one lamp lights another no grows less."
I have always felt that we could not as a group, succeed by scattering out strength. But because someone has seen it to launch out in the same line of business in which we are engaged does not mean, necessarily, they are our business opponents. If we succeed, we have a good foundation; if we have lighted the way for those who come after us, and this is our sacred duty; for at best we are here not to stay always, and should so conduct our business activities that we may be stepping stones and not stumbling blocks in the business realm.
LAST WEEK in discussing the Jew in Hebrew and his business relation to the Negro in I wish it definiesterdust that I am not predisposed against the Jew. I offer him merely as a fit subject for study by my group. I would not presume to say that the Jews have no petty business jealousies but I will say that from a casual study of his business successes, I credit it to the fact that on the whole, in business, from New York to San Francisco as a group the Jews are together.
"I AM SO GLAD you have gone into this line of business for I believe you will succeed, is first of all you will assassinate the So and So which has been doing that line of business for a number of years, but not in a way satisfactory to me. You can only succeed by killing it, or them for you need their ruined structure upon "which to build."
This is the doctrine of the Negro to the beginner.—But to you, Mr. Startur, this is false doctrine for the persons who gives it did not support your successor and will support you to the extent or such advice only.
LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY was universally celebrated this week by all races and creeds thereby attesting the fact of the greatness of the man. His vision was so far-fetched and his sincere devotion to the rights of humanity so genuine that there are none who will refuse to pay homage to the memory of so grand and noble a character.
Only forty-eight hours separated the time of Lincoln's birthday than that of the bronze knight, Federick Douglass. Lincoln was born on the 12th day of February and Loclass on the 14th of the same month. Truly the memory of Douglass is one of dynamic action and heroic service for his race. Therefore to honor and revere the name of Douglass is but in keeping with that high appreciation for a service, which stamps Douglass as the foremost advocate of his race. Of a man who broke the chains of slavery which held him and went on his way to play a major part in the work of breaking the chains which bound four million of his fellowmen.
WE ARE GLAD to see a revival of spirit within the group which would encourage business, move business and better business. Therefore if the Friday luncheon club by meeting and discussing the business trend will lift cause our business men to think and then act along the lines mentioned above the lines will be a well worth while. More power to the ones who aspire for progress along business lines.
MR. FRANKLIN O. NICHOLS, from Department of Educational Measurements, or the American Social Hygiene Association lectured at, Fisk University, Monday and Tuesday February 11 and 12. Mr. Nichols approach to the subject of social hygiene was unique. He discussed such things as free love, companionate marriage, the home, and the whole field of sex in a most enlightening and elevating manner, and with no offense to those of the most delicate sensibilities. The visit of Mr. Nichols is an annual event at Fisk, and he has been received with great respect. He is the second series of lectures in the Fisk University 1929 Lecture Series.
FISK UNIVERSITY will be especially favored in the third series of lectures by Mr. Arthur Alfonso Schomburg, President of the American Negro Academy, Mr. Schomburg will lecture on the following subjects:
The story of trans-oceanic in 1927 is as follows: Six planes and thirteen crossed the Atlantic safety. Five planes and twelve persons crossed the Pacific safety. Three planes and seven persons were lost.
Five persons lost their lives in preparatory flights and a sixth vanished in an effort to fly from North to South across the Caribbean. The total loss is.
Ten successful flights, nine failures, twenty-one lives spared and twenty-five lost.
Thirteen planes have been destroyed, millions of dollars have been expended in promotion of this phase of flying and hundreds of thousands more have been spent in futile searches for the lost.
To offset this cast in life, money and property, the aid-mindedness of the Nation and the world have been increased, a start has been made at laying a foundation for transportation by air and the successful flights have fostered a huge store of international good-will.
One woman—Ruth Elder—is among the successful flyers. Two—Miss Milred Doran and Princess Lawenstein-Wertheim—are among the lost.
The men who -crossed the Atlantic were Col. Charles Lindbergh, Clarence D. Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine, ommander Richard E. Byrd, Lleut, George Noville, Bernt Balchen and Bert Acosta, William S. Brock and Edward F. Schles, George V. Halderman, co-pilot with Miss Elder in the flight which ended in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Spain and Dieudame Costes and Joseph Lehrix, who flew from Africa to South America.
The men who crossed the Pacific to Hawaii: Lieut. Lester J. Maidland and Albert F. Hegenberger; Emest L. Smith and Emory B. Brante; Arthur Gobel and Lieut. W. V. Davis; Martin Jensen and Paul Schluter.
All these flights except the LeBrix venture were of American origin.
Those who perished in the Atlantic included, besides the Princess Lowenstein, four Frenchmen, three Americans and two Englishmen and two Canadians: Captain Charles Nurgesser and Francois de Ligne flying France to America; Captial St. Romaine and Naumeyer flying from Africa to South America; Philip Payne, J. D. Hill and Lloyd Berlaut, flying from the United States to Rome; Captain Leslie Hamilton and Lieut. Col. F. F. Minchin, flying from England to America; Captain James Medcald and Lieut. Terence Tully, flying from Canada to England.
Those lost in the Pacific in addition to Miss Doran: J. A. Pedlar and Lieut. V. R. Knobe her colleagues; Captain William P. Erwin, A. H. Eichwaldt, J. W. Frost and Gordon Scott.
Paul Redfern of Brunswick Ga. was lost on a Brazil flight and commander Noel Davis, Lieut. Stanton, H. Woster, Lieut. George Cavell and R. S. Wagener were killed in preparation for flights.
The Atlantic has been crossed in 1927 four times from North America to Europe, in addition to Miss Elder's flight part way, and once from Africa to South America. No venture at a Westward crossing from Europe succeeded in 1927.
The Pacific has been crossed from America to the Hawaiian islands four times, but no flights have been made from the islands to the United States. (To be continued in next issue)

There are a number of people who (think reading is a gift, but this is a sad mistake, because reading for thoughts require concentration, and reading for words does not require any amount of attention. In this way the mind is simply crammed with words.
Reading should have some effect on the brain (good effect of course) while in the act and afterwards. Instead of this, one will sit down to read a book with other things on his mind. Of course we know something depends upon how far and well the reader has developed the power of plural attention. But anything worth reading is surely worth giving all of our attention to.

"CAPACITY'TO PAY" AND GERMAN CHILDREN
BY: WILLIAM PICKENS
(For the Associated Negro Press
We will now be discussing, and perhaps readjusting, our credit relationships to the nations to whom we loaned money, especially on account of the World War. There will still be much talk about making the Germans "pay for the war,"—as if they were the only people who had anything to do with that war. We will forget that the only reason why the Germans must pay, is that they lost the war. Now, in the good old barbaric days, when the other tribe lost the war, we took them as slaves—as many of them as we could conveniently use. But it remained for "civilized men," of today, to try to reduce a whole great nation of more than fifty millions to a position of slavery in their own territory and industries.
That is just what taxing the Germans to the limit of their "capacity to pay" means: we are to take out of their day's work all but just enough to keep them alive so that they can work for us another day, and then another day. Just as modern war is a thousand fold more savage than the old tribal war, so it seems that the modern edition of "The Victors Take the Spoils" is just as many times more savage in its mandates. We are a German baby or any German child born since 1914. I feel a weak shame that it is being taxed and starved to pay me something, on the theory that the child had more to do with causing the war which opened in 1914 than I had to do with it.
And I know that to be a lie; for in 1914, I was at least a grown person, and I did nothing whatever to pre-vent the war. Lik any disinterested, far-distant, observer, I was somewhat drilled by the spectacle, which we all expected to last for a few months, at most, and to provide us some extraordinary entertainment. When I was in Europe in 1913, I saw this war coming, as between France and Germany; and I wrote articles about it, praised the "virility" of the German army,—and stopped right there. Shops there was no pobbing more than that but not. Then certainly, in the name of Jacob's God, I must acknowledge that the unborn German babies could have done nothing about it. If anything, they are more guiltless or that war than I am. Then, why tax, and rob, and drive these little children, as if they were criminals? Why lay plaus to tax and rob and drive even the babies that shall be born from these babies a quarter century from now?
As the economic world is now constituted, there can be no justice in it, and "reparations" is just a nice name for the same old savage "plunder."
Retail business in the United States is undergoing changes which are almost as sweeping as those which followed the introduction of power driven machinery. The real cause for those changes is the increasing earning power of labor. It is not possible to give skilled clerks a wage equivalent to what they can get as skilled mechanics and make any money out of a small store. A store selling $52,000 worth of goods a year has weekly sales of $1,000 and at 12% per cent net profit, which
is the most that many lines of goods will stand, this gives the storekeeper $35 a week for his share.
That may in some parts or the country represent a fair return for the work and worry of directing a $3,000 business, but in many places it represents well-trained, chastic can get it work in even indesately continuous
And yet, the recent census or distribution taken in eleven cities shows that out of 80,000 independent stores in all trades only 11.44 per cent did more than $50,000 a year each. These, to be sure, did over 70 per cent of the independent store business, but these 70,000 stores below the $50,000 were paying their owners less than $25 a week in payouts. Moreover, those stores did less than 55,000 a year and hence pale their proprietors less than $2.50 a week profit, which, of course, is less than a low wage for unskilled labor. This low earning power of retail business is one of the reasons for the spread of chain, store organizations. Of the 95,000 stores covered by the census of 11 cities over 15 per cent belonged to chain store organizations, and these did nearly 30 per cent of all the retail business done in 41 trades in the 12 cities. The price of mana or mannequin or more stores, and in this way the new conditions in the retail business are being met.
As you examine farther into the possibilities of retail business, as a field for colored people let me urge you to keep these facts in mind.
Apparently many of those who are now in retail business as independent merchants are selling their brains, at less than they are worth. In other words, they are paying too high a price for nominal independence. The probabilities of the small merchant will grow worse than better as time goes on.
It is my conviction that chain store organizations as a field of retail operations for both white and colored people during the next few years of many advantages over small scale independent stores. Society apparently is making up its mind that it cannot and will not continue to support as many small shopkeepers as it once did; and the small storekeepers expected to be for it institutional independent is going to be given an adequate wage by the larger organizations in the retail business, or is going to earn a better living in some more constructive, even if more active and exacting, pursuit.
The best classified office of any Negro business in America—that is what immediately strikes the visitor at the general offices of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company in Washington, D. C. They have a building and annex, and every department is in a separate room and under an expert, from photostat and other duplicating to the filing of cancelled policies.
A few years ago S. W. Rutherford, Founder, Secretary, and General Manager, starred this business with five or six dollars worth of furniture, rented space in one room, and perhaps a lot of grimacing ridicule from his aqaintances. Now he has a great financial concern, owning the building in which he first rented, controlling an overflow, or annex, building in the same block around the corner, and employing so many hundreds of people that they look like a Business League Convention when they meet in a body. Like the Cadbury Chocolate Works in England, the National Benefit Life cafe furnish an audience in a few minutes which in intelligence and number will be worthy of the time of any lecturer on any theme.
H. R. Rutherford, the son, is president of this company. He helped his father since the son's knee-breeches days. They are as commendable a father-and son succession in business as are the Rockefellers or the Fords.
How has this been done? Volumes could not relate it: there was uphill work, against the usual opposition. But they have employed the best methods. They have engaged insurance experts from time to time to set their office in better and better order and to install the best methods and the most perfect machine. A year ago, so Dr. Warfield of Freedmen's Hospital in Chicago, Life to improve its system, employed a great host of experts and kept them working at headquarters for half a year. They were white experts, but what matter? The company wanted to learn from those who know, whatever their color. They wanted to learn for their color. They wanted the best methods, and the white insurance experts had what they wanted. You might have thought that the Company was being owned and run by whites during that period, or that Rutherford had employed a high force at least. These experts aimed to make the best possible use of literature in the offices. The best of everything was installed, from ledgers to accounting machines.
THE RESULT: today: great company of colored young men and women are learning by actual contact how to carry on the best insurance methods known in the world.
The problems of a group are not solved until the economic problems are solved, and these economic leaders are the forerunners of the era of real freedom for the Negro race. We may shape the wings, but they must supply the motive power of our flying man.

TO STUDY STAMINA OF RACES
Washington, D. C., Feb. 3. According to an announcement made following the recent meeting here of scientists and public health officials, a scientific study will be made to determine the comparative physical stamina of the Negro and Caucasian races.
The study will be made in Tennessee, with Dr. E. L. Bishop, health commissioner of the state, in charge and assisted by Dr. W. S. Leathers, professor of preventive medicine and hygiene at Vanderbilt University, Dr. L. R. Williams, of the New York Academy of Medicine, Dr. Kendall Emerson of the National Tuberculosis Association and Dr. H. R. Landis of the Phipps Institute, Philadelphia, all white.
Special stress will be laid upon the effort to determine whether the high mortality rate among Negroes is due to environment or to a difference of physical characteristics.

A. BAR. MANOJOR
Chicago, Feb. 6—Two basketball one with a great past, and the other with a great future, met here Thursday night at the Savoy Ballroom to play for the world's colored championship. They were the Renaissance Big Five of this city. Renaissance won, 04085 up to 04000 out. IV Five of New York and the Savoy Big Team, and L.J. Faggen, owner of the Savoy ballroom, are clamoring for a return game, and expressed the belief that if negotiations for a return game in New York are completed the Savoy ageurs will throw the Harlemites into the river. They don't offer any alibi, but point quietly to the fact that Lillard, named as their best player by Cum Posey, was out of the game, and Specc Moten, another of their stars, in the game for only a part of the time and then under a handicap.
Reports Catholic Mission Efforts Favorable
Reports received by Rt. Rev. Monsignor John Cawley, chairman of the committee appointed by Bishop John J. Cantwell to arrange for the great Mission effort of the Catholic people in this Diocese, indicate that there will be a tremendous outpouring of both churchgoers, and those who seldom go to church, during the days set aside for the Mission.
During the past week there have been many meetings in various parts of the Diocese attended by both clergy and laity, and there is great enthusiasm shown, especially by Catholics of Los Angeles and vicinity.
Rev. Bernard J. Dolan, chairman of the Committee on Education, announced that, following the example of the English speaking Catholics, those of foreign extraction were no less zealous in their wish to make the Mission a success.
It was further announced that there would be a meeting on February 6th at the Cathedral at Second and Main streets, Los Angeles, of all the Spanish speaking priests of the Diocese at 10:00 A. M. At this time Monsignor Cawley will preside and there will be an address by Rev. Michael J. Sheahan, pastor of Soledad Church, who will explain in detail the plan of the Rt. Rev. Bishop.
Throughout the entire Diocese pastors have already made arrangements to erect a 15-foot Mission Cross, draped with the Corpus vell and to comply with other impressive details that go to make up the Catholic Mission ceremonies.
Also in every church, committees of the laity notably members of the Holy Name Union, Knights of Columbus, Ancient Order of Hibernians, Catholic Daughters of America, Ladies Catholic Beneyolent Association, Young Ladies Institute, Young Men's Institute, Catholic Order of Foresters of America, Queen's Daughters, and other groups are giving united assistance in what is expected to be the greatest concerted religious revival ever known in the west.

MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH
REV. L. M. CURTIS, Pastor
Sunday School was very good, many of our new converts were out and took active part in the lesson, showing a wonderful spirit to begin with. At 11 o'clock the services were conducted by the pastor and he also preached a wonderful sermon. This subject of the sermon was "Baptism". We must say we are proud of our pastor and realizing more each day his worth to our church homes and community. Before the sermon we were favored with a wonderful guest by Mr Jackson with Los Angeles. This son was the hearts of all that were present, and we all wish to have Mr Jackson to come back and worship with us any time. There were visiting ministers with us and as they always do, took very active part in our services.
There were many bastised Sunday, among the many that were baptised was the baby girl of Mrs. Minnie Simms. This baby attracted the attention of many, showing her anxiousness of being the first one to be baptised and to be baptised with her father. The morning services closed with all rejoicing over a real Pillar. At 6:30 the Pillar had a very interesting session with Mr. Harvey presiding. There was a large number both of young and adults. Mr. Harvey is a very useful young man, filling many positions in the church and faithful to all. He should be encouraged for his faithfulness. The Evening services were conducted by Rev. Curtis and the sermon was preached by Rev. Bently, visiting minister. Many were present for the communion services, and about 50 were fellowships into the church. Our weekly meetings be programed by the weekly church calendar and all are requested to attend these meetings that all auxiliaries continue to run smoothly.
Excellent services were rendered by the, Junior club Sunday night, Mrs. M. V. Fotier directress and Mrs. L. M. Curtis, accompanist.

He is as black as it would seem possible for a man to he and he is stopping at the first class, hotels eating in the first class cafes and occupying the best seat in the first class the African descent are not allowed such privilege.

Ne age is a flexibld term,| and’so is age itself, becduse the

‘are in terms of thstes ahd feelings, energies and zests, |and the

‘The proper principle of mental fitness is for the middle-aged to
stay lat the full-flowering period of life as long as possible, and
to go about it sensibly. Staying youthful isn’t a question of re-

outh may have its|fling; but no one ever remained youth-
ful by having moreflings|of the same kind. Those who kéep on|
trying to answer the call of youth may have unpleesant remind. |

‘to the call of age, not by piling up compensations or eve: sor

WHY WE HAVE NAMES
A name is like a haydle. It shows you where to tabelhelb:
It is al great convenience} Every object and living creature has
ja name bande. Otherwise we are not able to talk intelligently
about them, i
. Some names are expitrary. They have come into jbeing
largely through accident.{In most instances there is a reacpn for
calling a thing by the partiqular name it bears. The Indians
have peculiar names, such as Big Chief, Eagle Eve, Braveheart,
Lone Wolf, Sly Fox, Fleet Foot, Black Hawk, Strong Arm}, Big
Bail, etc. The idea is to give the name of some highly désired.
trait and expect the child|to shape his character to fit the ame.
x Bible chapacters ard iudmed in a similar mogner att for
like reasons. Abrahanrmpans “Father of.a Multitude”; Jbshua
means “Deliverer”, and sp on down the list. In some of the case
it. wonld seem that the\Wame was given after the person had
showh some marked characteristic, they, seem to fit too]. well.
We have reference to people whose names were changefl, Ja-
¢ob’s name, “Cheater”, forsexample, was’ changed to Israel,
“God Striveth”, Both starfd for definite expriences in his life.
In olden times we dp not attach much importance fo |the
meaning of names. We afe influenced by euphony and sigges-
tion. Sometimes out of ddference to some rich or beloved rela-
tive or some admired celebrity we name ouf children after|them.

There was a noted gathering at the Edison estate in Flo-
|rida. Monday-the 11th was the birthdate of Thomas Edison and
yhe enteretined three other noted characters in American life,
Harvey Firestone; Henry Ford; president-elect Herbert Hoov-
er. It,ig not generally known that Mr. Edison has a big planta-
tion Where he is experimenting in the growth of rubber trees
and plants. He hopes to revolutionize ‘the rubber industry and
give the\United States an' independence in the production of
that commodity so necessary to the civilization’ of today. Mr.
Edison has\one advantage over Dr. Carver of Tuskegee, who
has evolved so many. useful things ftom vegetable matter. Mr,
Edison has but to say that he is on the verge of some scientific
discovery and \every financial recource is placéd-at his com-
Hiand./ Dr Garper has dof! whalers snd] sciombliahen much
notwithstanding the lack of finances to further exploit his dis-
coveriés. Should Mr. Edison succeed in developing the rubber
plant as a commercial commodity he will have the millions of
Heriry;Ford and Harvey Firestone beltind him.) te |
This month is| noted for the birth anniversaries of three
noted!icharacters in American~history, George Washington,
... Whose famé as a.soldier and wisdom as the first president of
the nation, is nanied a8 one of the worlds noblemen, Abraham
Lincoln; whose great heart and magnanimity brought together
a war torn nation and poured the healing balm which healed
the wounds daused by strife and hete. His'nanied is emlazoned
on the scroll of fame and endeared by men the world over. The,
next of the trio is Frederick Douglass; slave, orator, humanita—
ian. His eloquence paved the way for the final abolishment of |
slavery in the United States: Rising from the depths he attained
the heights, and stood before the throne of kings and potentates |
to plead ‘the cause of humanity, Some time when history shall
be impartialy chronicled, Frederick Douglass name will be|
placed along with other names who have’made Américh great
and powerful among the nations. |

Girls and Boys Athletic Activities
BY JESSIE RAYRFOD
A check-up of the later-class Field Day held at Manual, Friday, January 25th, though somewhat be-lated shows splendid promise for our boys who wone a first and two second places.
The ones competing were Norman Stewart, a letterman who is showing much improvement this year in the 880. Alfred Houston, 220 and 100 yd. dash; Carl Saterfield, 220 and 100 yd. dash and high jump; Lewis Andrews 880; Welbur Dyson, high jump; Edward Hardwick, 220 yd. dash; Jack Qualls, high jump; Robert Greene 830. The results were, Huston, first place, 100 yard dash; Stewart, first place, 830; Hardwick, second place 220 yard dash; Andrews, fifth place, 880. Nathaniel George our Whitter star is leading the list of the seven conference athletics capable of 10 seconds flat in the century and 22 seconds in the furlong. He placed third in the Olympic tryouts in the "Race of the Country", finishing ahead of Frank Lombardi and other great sprinter. He appears to be the best sprinter in the circuit since Murry Schrills graduated from Caltech. George was ineligible last track season but has made up his credits and is now out to capture first in the all-conference meet. We wish him lots of luck.
Mildred Smith, a Poly student who made the basket ball team as jumping center will receive her second letter with one star. Since Mildred as been over at Poly she has played baseball, basketball, volleyball and went out for track. She is now a Sailor A and will not be able to compete anymore for Poly, but when she leaves she will always be remembered as one of the best all-around colored girls Poly has ever had.
Herman Hill whom we are proud to say is on the basketball team over at U. S. C. He plays jumping center. Herman hasn't been seen in action in the big games but we hope to see him in action in the coming games. We hope they will give him a break.

EDITED BY HARRY LEVETTE
FROM the ring-side at Madison Square Garden, were being broadcasted so they could hear blow by blow, the battle between Jackie Fields and Baby Joe Gans that the whole world is watching. Tomorrow tells the tale as to which of these California boys will get a crack at Dundee's title. The Young Master, as he does, always weighs around 145 or 147 while Gans is heavy at 142. Yet with Fields at his best and Gans sick, the Jewish boy was unable to get by the clever defense of the colored flam or to lay as many gloves on him in 18 as he did to Thompson in one round.
If Gans jicks Fields, which he will, if not too much overweight, he will then K. O. Dundee and generously giving Thompson a chance at his new title, pump that lightning left into him which he proves such an easy mark for and give him the darnest liking of his checkered career. That will settle for all time who is the best between these two.
Gans is the most popul colored boxer in California and the most popular one in N. Y. Although New York has the name of office dissipation and wild recklessness, it likes its fighters clean and in Gans they have a quiet, clean liver, who is proud of his race and a credit to it.
Attend athletic events more. All people of all races should devote some portion of their time to lending their presence as spectators at public events of athletic prowess. By so doing they add more variety to their own amusement aside from the usual theatres, etc. and also give support and encouragement to the young athletes contending.
Fast Moving, Soul-Stirring Picture Called "Submarine" Gives Jack Holt Fine Role
There is a fast-moving, soul-stirring drama coming to the Rosebud Theater on Sunday, entitled "Submarine." It is by far the best picture of this type that we have ever seen and Columbia Pictures certainly deserves credit for making such a stupendous production.
The photodrama affords Jack Holl opportunity to perform numerous and thrilling feats under water as a diver. Some of the greatest, deep set action that it has ever been our privilege to witness is included in the picture.
Ralph Graves, as Holt's buddy, does a fine piece of work and keep Holt on the gut vile lest he lose the picture. Doreen Reyler is another member of the cast, who stands out in bold relief. She handles a difficult role in a manner that does her credit. Miss Reyler plays the dance hall girl for all she is worth, the sickle nature, the marry in haste and repent in leisure attitude, the unfaithfulness and the love of a good time are all to be found in her portrayal. It is an artistic character study. Arthur Bahnk gives a beautiful interpretation of a death scene. The action revolves around the friendship of two petty officers in the navy, who are ready to sacrifice their lives for each other. One marries and the other unknownly fills with his
Mirth Galore In The Whole Town's Talking'
"The Whole Town's Talking," the screamingly funny farce success which ran for one solid year in New York, has been chosen as the famous buddy's wife. When the husband finds it out there is trouble. The husband is the best diver in the navy and when his pal's submarine is rammed and sinks, the diver has to go down and save the friend, whom he believes betrayed him.
The underwater sequences are thrilling. They more than make the hair stand on end and the cold chills play up and down the spine. Frank Capra, the director has got every ounce of drama possible out of the sequence. He has abown a master touch in every scene and produced a film fabric that will go down an one of the outstanding productions of the year.
Lafayette Players' offering for the coming week. The farce opens at the Lincoln. Theater next. Monday night and promises to create a furore of merriment and excitement.
"The Whole Town's Talking" is from the poems of John Emerson and Anita Lopez—perhaps the most widely know team of writers in America. The pair have written scores or outstanding film and stage hits and in the forthcoming Lincoln attraction, they have but added one more to the long Hits.
The action of the farce takes place in Sandusky, Ohio, and the central character is a "rube" bachelor upon whom is thrust the reputation of a "gay old dog." The girl of his choice has made it quite plain that she will marry only a man who has "lived." So "Chester," the bachelor (played by Edward Thompson) boasts of an "affair" with Lettie Lythe, a famous movie vamp, and you can bet there is plenty of excitement when Lettie herself suddenly appears on the scene! Being accompanied by a very jealous fance, complications develop at a fast and furious pace from this point on. For, after the "whole town's talking", just as "Chester" had hoped, and
after the girl of his heart is ready to fall into his arms, he suddenly learns — but it would hardly be fair to give away any more of the plot. Cecily Priser has the leading role, and as usual will captivate audiences with her charm and versatility.
"The Whole Town's Talking" contains equally as many sparkling comedy lines and situations as did "Here Comes the Bride" and "Up in Mabel's Room," the farce successes which the famous Lafayette troupe staged some weeks back. All of your favorites have prominent roles, including Laura Bowman who will return to comedy characterizations, following her triumph in "Salome" this week; Sidney Kirkpatrick; Lawrence Criner, Bebe Hawley, Cleo Desmond, Monte Hawley, Charles Olden and Arthur Ray.
The final performance of "Salome

Ethel Waters To Make Vitaphone Picture For Warner Brothers
Far Famed phonograph and vandiville star, to appear in prominent role in Warner Brothers latest film. Large number of actors and screen have tryouts at Warner Bros. Theatre for supporting roles. Hooers and singers, gallore, strut, their stuff before studio officials. This will probably be a musical comedy featuring the talented Miss Waters, that will need a jam up chorus, with plenty of hoofing acts and classy singing.
Among some of the notables noticed at random at the theatre rehearsal were: The Four Covans, Crack dancers, The Harmony Kings, Evans and Weaver, dance team, Flora Washington, singing and dancing; Strut Mitchell, singing and dancing; Jack Jackson, dancer and 'assn't casting; and a host of thers. With taking their choice of the talent present the Warner Bros. should be able to put out a jam up picture.

VERY SUCCESSFUL
In New York and in Chicago have
recently been held a very interesting
and a very important movement. The
movement for which was initiated by
the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Port-
ers and the result of which promises
to be very beneficial to Negro Workers
throughout the Country.
These Negro Labor Conferences which are being held in all of the important cities in the United States proceeded by gathering together prominent individuals in the Labor, Social, Civic, Church and Business field. These individuals discuss certain subjects of interest to Black Workers. The idea being to outline a certain procedure by which the study and handling of these problems can be facilitated. In New York and Chicago a number of very prominent individuals participated in the discussions which brought but some very valuable data, and the sessions of the Conference were enjoyed by all. A Similar Conference is scheduled for Los Angeles in the near future.

W. C. A. on the 23rd will carry an admission fee of thirty five cents for which this revenue will go towards defraying the expenses, of Mr. Randolph's trip. Tod much credit cannot be given Mrs. Shaughter and her able assistants who have labored untruly to support the brotherhood in its fight and it is the duty of our group to give their moral and financial support and demonstrate to Mr. Randolph that we are with him. It is the earnest desire of the council to have the desi-

McFarland General Chairman of the Grievance Committee saying that an assurance that the wage case that has been under consideration for some time was being considered by the United States Board of Mediation and that things look very favorable for something to be gained satisfactorily. The case is well supported by statistical data obtained to uphold the demand to better conditions. A copy of the communication was mailed to each member and a bit of interest manifested, a deal of patience has been exercised by Mr. Johnson who has worked unintently to create better working conditions and increase in wages.
A plan to assist the members of the Organization who are on a leave of absence owing to physical disability is under advisement.
SPARKS FROM RED CAPS ANVIL
The regular meeting of the Association Tuesday Evening February 12th was well attended. Much of the unfinished business including the programme for the dance was completed, and earns gleam by President Gray for his men to continue the spirit of cooperation as heretofore outlined pointing to the many accomplishments since 1922.
Just keep up with the boys if you can they are now travelling at a rapid rate of speed, the only answer so far. Just keep your eyes open. Your ears on the ground. Now just what do you mean.

Three new Diners arrived the early part of the week on The Argonaut, enroute to Sacramento to be equipped for service. The appearance of several new waiters on The Desert causes some of the veterans to grow green with envy. The Desert is still holding it's own.

CHICAGO, LIL, Feb. 11.—Declaring that the Negro farmer was out of the least protected productive units in the country and that the future of black tiers of the soft lies in organization. James Perry Davis, President of the Nation's Federation of Colored Farmers, announced here this week the launching of a program of co-operative marketing for Negro farmers.
Mr. Davis, formerly of Georgia, a brother-in-law of Bishop A. J. Carey, has for the past several years conducted a successful produce commission business in Indiana. Many of the carpads of mepuns and much of the other produce farmers in the South by Negro farmers of the South, Mr. Davis said in explaining how he had demonstrated the practicability of his plan:
"We want 25,000 Negro farmers to enter our co-operative organisation this year," said Mr. Davis. "By elimination of the middleman and encouragement of diversified planting we will create a new market which will revolutionize the Negro farmers' income. Officers of the National Federation of Negro Farmers have been established in the Vincennes Hotel, Chicago. "Few people," said Mr. Davis, "realize the tremendous potentiality of the Negro farmer. The white farmer has long ago seen the necessity for co-operative action.
To give some idea of the position the Negro occupies in the agricultural field, the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Census shows that in 1920 there were 218,612 colored farmers in the United States operating their own farms with a total value of $2,282 645,328, and there are 705,700 colored farmers as tenants and managers.
