N.A.A.C.P.Lincoln Day Celebration Huge Success OVERFLOW CROWD AT THE SOMERVILLE HOTEL The Twentieth Anniversary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was celebrated in a blue of glory as evidenced by the very appropriate program rendered at a huge brentquet for the occasion at the Somerville Hotel on last Tuesday evening, February 12th. The feature of the celebration was the program which was arranged to commemorate the birth of the great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln and at the same time celebrate the anniversary of the organization of the great National association. The crowd overroached the spacious dining hall of the Somer-ilie Hotel filled the mezzanine floor, the private dining room and others who could not gain seats at the table, stood around the walls interested spectators indeed at the inspiring scene. The program was crisp, every number a gem and carried out with rare precision and despatch. Dr. H. C. Hudson, the wonder president of the local branch called the assembled guest to order and introduced the Master of Ceremonies, J. C. Banks. (Turn to Page Six) 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.

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 The provided image is a graphic design and does not contain any chart, graph, or data to be converted into a table. 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.

(Comment by Alex Thompson) 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. **CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS** C. M. E. Church - Pastor, Rev.

BROADWAY "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.

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.

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.

[Image of a man with a mustache and a white shirt] 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.

WHAT WILL BE HIS REWARD We have been waiting to hear just what the reward for Deputy Sheriff Pope would be in the premises where at the risk of his own life he undoubtedly saved several other lives. We are satisfied when the Carnegie Commission gets the details, the commission will act. We are as a consequence waiting to see just what our own county officials think in the situation, about either promoting him or giving him a substantial raise in pay.

And if you can do not have done as well in earlier wisely. Mental fitness for middle-age the rest of the world as it is to them whose heads and shoulders the resp falls most heavily. This is not written for young men—only for those who are ready to admit that they are not as young as they used to be. Middle age is a flexible term, and so is age itself, because the scale is marked off in years and the changes that it measures are in terms of tastes and feelings, energies and zests, and the range of human interests. All of these go together; and it isn't a question of fathers keeping up with their sons any more than it is of mothers keeping young with their daughters—though all that helps. In neither case is it a matter of dress or complexion or athletics, or social whirl. Every age has its own proper standards of mental fitness. It is sad to see the prematurely old whether actually young with an old man's outlook and tastes and habits, or actually well on in years but yielding too easily and too early to disabilities. The proper principle of mental fitness is for the middle-aged to stay at the full-flowering period of life as long as possible, and to go about it sensibly. Staying youthful isn't a question of rejuvenation—either by the route of the glands or of frivolity, or warmed-over adolescent emotion. It is the natural issue and reward of a wholesome development of interests and the acceptance of responsibilities at all stages of the orderly procession of years. It is because some men of years are tempted into method not suitable to their years that the saying arose, "There's no fool like an old fool". Youth may have its fling; but no one ever remained youthful by having more oflings of the same kind. Those who keep on trying to answer the call of youth may have unpleasant reminders that it is a long-distance call with heavy tolls. Better listen to the call of age, not by piling up compensations or even consolations, but by meeting the problem of years with the spirit that was made strong in youth. For most of the cherished and enduring prerogatives of youth may be continued all through life. Three are of the first order of value: Creativeness or productivity; taking on new interests or constant learning; zest and enthusiasm for the job. So long as you can put out a new output and get absorbed in it, you are young. And if you can do something that you could not have done as well in earlier years, you are growing old wisely. Mental fitness for middle-aged men is as important to the rest of the world as it is to them; for they are the men on whose heads and shoulders the responsible work of the world falls most heavily. WHY WE HAVE NAMES A name is like a handle. It show it is a great convenience! Every object a name handle. Otherwise we are not about them. Some names are arbitrary. They largely through accident. In most instances a thing by the particular name have peculiar names, such as Big Chi Lone Wolf, Sly Fox, Fleet Foot, Black Bull, etc. The idea is to give the name trait and expect the child to shape his Bible characters are named in like reasons. Abraham means "Father means "Deliverer", and so on down it it would seem that the name was g shown some marked characteristic.

Every object and living creature has a name handle. Otherwise we are not able to talk intelligently about them. Some names are arbitrary. They have come into being largely through accident. In most instances there is a reason for calling a thing by the particular name it bears. The Indians have peculiar names, such as Big Chief, Eagle Eye, Braveheart, Lone Wolf, Sly Fox, Fleet Foot, Black Hawk, Strong Arm, Big Bull, etc. The idea is to give the name of some highly desired trait and expect the child to shape his character to fit the name. Bible characters are named in a similar manner and for like reasons. Abraham means "Father of a Multitude"; Joshua means "Deliverer", and so on down the list. In some of the case it would seem that the name was given after the person had shown some marked characteristic, they seem to fit tool well. We have reference to people whose names were changed. Jacob's name, "Cheater", for example, was changed to Israel, "God Striveth". Both stand for definite experiences in his life. In olden times we do not attach much importance to the meaning of names. We are influenced by euphony and suggestion. Sometimes out of deference to some rich or beloved relative or some admired celebrity we name our children after them. IT PAYS TO WAIT Emergencies compel quick decisions, which may prove no more than partial solutions, with much of hardship and injustice. In such crises necessity drives a hard bargain, and even for the sake of some great good may work much evil. Such decisions, moreover, are rarely stable, since they must at last pay the penalty of haste and make concessions to the very conditions which they have ignored or else be constantly attacked by rebellion and discontent.

The truth can afford to wait for its followers, for in the cause of truth there can be no forced harmony nor any allegiance save that which is given freely. In the average instance no memory course is required to recall something you had a chance to put $125 into 30 years ago. Who recalls when autograph albums were plush-covered things on parlor tables instead of yellow garments worn by sophomores in the rain? If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened COMMENTS COMMENTS This cold weather has, practically, froze up everything, including the usual political chatter one frequently hears about the capitol Now and then a senator or assemblman interested in some particular measure is seen in consultation with some of the legal talent of the legislative counsel. Three bills affecting the publishing of newspapers have been offered. Two of them by senator Cleveland, 11th Senatorial District. One is entitled an act to add a new section to the Penal ode, and relates to the publication of false or garbled matter introduced in the Legislature, or the vote of any member of the Legislature thereon. The other: an act providing that any publisher, proprietor, or editor of any newspaper shall print the answer of any candidate for public office, made to a statement appearing in said newspaper. The remaining bill was offered by senator Merriam, 33rd District which would define the words "established" and "published". Other than making some of our publications a mite more careful in the use of "facts" none of the measures have a particular bearing. There was a noted gathering at the Edison estate in Florida. Monday the 11th was the birthdate of Thomas Edison and he entertined three other noted characters in American life, Harvey Firestone; Henry Ford; president-elect Herbert Hoover. It is not generally known that Mr. Edison has a big plantation 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 from vegetable matter. Mr. Edison has but to say that he is on the verge of some scientific discovery and every financial resource is placed at his command. Dr. Carver has done wonders and accomplished much notwithstanding the lack of finances to further exploit his discoveries. Should Mr. Edison succeed in developing the rubber plant as a commercial commodity he will have the millions of Henry, Ford and Harvey Firestone befind him. This month is noted for the birth anniversaries of three noted characters in American history. George Washington, ... whose fame as a soldier and wisdom as the first president of the nation, is named as 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 caused by strife and hate. His named is emlazoned on the scroll of fame and endeared by men the world over. The next of the trio is Frederick Douglass; slave, orator, humanitarian. 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 impartially chronicled, Frederick Douglass name will be placed along with other names who have made America great and powerful among the nations. The Prince of Wales recently visited the poverty stricken districts of the English Miners who have not had employment for a period of four or five years. His report shows conditions which are heart gripping, and one wonders how such can be under any civilized government under the sun. Children with pinched faces, shivering through their ragged clothes in the raw cold; men wandering aimlessly about dirty, ill kept streets; rows of houses, huddled along dirty streets, all have their tragic stories to tell. Whatever the people; wherever the situation of misery, it has an appealing effect. We know of the heart rendering scenes which greeted one when visiting the devastated areas of the flooded districts of Mississippi and the storm stricken territory of Florida. Misery, especially when created by poverty, knows neither race or nationality. There is something wrong, radically wrong, when a government with the wealth of Great Britain has such conditions within her borders. Millions of Pounds have been spent for the building or armaments to maintain mastery of the seas: And yet within a stones throw of flaunted wealth and pompous parade there exist such misery as the world has seldom seen. Caused by economic conditions which should not be. It took just 3 hours and 35 minutes for ten women and two men sitting as jurors, to find Asa Keys, former District Attorney for Los Angeles county, guilty of the charge of bribe taking. It seems an irony of fate that the man who for twenty-five years prosecuted the criminals of the county and sent hundreds to reside in the gray walls of San Quentin or Folsom is now facing entrance as a felon in, one or the other of those Bastiles. Former Lieutenant Government, Buron Fitts, who succeeded Keys in the office of prosecuting attorney was his Namisis. Fitts formerly was an assistant to Keys in the prosecutors office but resigned. The Warden at San Quentin has fears concerning the stifety of Keys should he be sent there. There is any number of prisoners there who were prosecuted by him and there is a peculiar code among them which has the exaction of vengeance. Well, after all there is some virtue in the old copy book proverb that "Honesty is the best policy". It taken the United States Congress to enact a bill authorising ten round boxing bouts in Hawiaia and the Phillipines. President Coolidge has signed the measure. Now, the "mitt slingers" and "leather pushers" of those two billybucks can jab, cross and upper-cut to their hearts content. Out of the meidly should evolve a world champion of some class. The chances of a Phillipine heavyweight champion are very remote unless science finds some means to force the growth. But we do expect to see some very fast little men brought out. The game of fisticuffs has strongly appealed to the little brown me of the Archipelago and they take to boxing like a duck to water. A heroic fight was made and a glorious victory achieved by Senator Hiram Johnson when the senate voted to replace the appropriation of $5,370,000 for river work already performed, less $1,000,000 appropriated for new work. The bill had been originally passed in the House but when it reached the Senate the committee on appropriations lopped off the amount to $400,000. After a brilliant personal fight Senator Johnson succeeded in having the original sum restored to the measure. The Senator was ably assisted by Congressman Charles Curry author of the bill. The proposed laws governing election which have been or will be introduced in the legislature when it convenes after the constitutional recess, are numerous. It does seem as though Mr. and Mrs. Voter hardly get acquainted with an existing law before some legislator registers his protest, and the result is a bery of new election laws which prove confusing, and in a number of instances lead to errors. Laws to prevent write-ins; fixing the membership of party conventions and central committee regulations; one party limit and, oh ever so many more that will never see the light of a legislative day. It seems an assured fact that the legislature will summon Mrs. Aimie McPherson to appear before that august body and explain some remarks made in an interview while in Canada. Seems as if she said something about playing "petty politics" and said remark constitutes Les Majeste. Should the noted Evangelist fail to satisfactorily explain herself—why, as Kipling would say, "That is another story." It promises to make good front page stuff. One thing that president elect Hoover has inherited from Coolidge association, and that is, SILENCE. He has had the whole country on the anxious seat trying to figure out his advisers. Mr. Hoover is saying nothing but—trying to catch a fish. His worries will commence very soon. Job hunters to the right of him and to the left of him, thundered their pleadings. (Continued from Page One) which position he filled with his credit it both to himself and the participants of the evening. Rev. L. G. Robinson invoked the divine blessing. Mrs. Nau- mil Pharr rendered a solo which was compiled to respond to an audience. Alexander read Lincoln's immortal Emancipation Proclamation with tell- ing effect. Dr. J. A. Somerville read a paper in which he reviewed the past accordances of the local N. A. A. and B. J. A. with whom he resplend- ished favored with a Sorraro solo and responded to an encore. ENTHUSIASM RUNS HIGH As the next number was announced — Reminiscences of John Brown, by his granddaughter, Adeline Clauses the enthusiasm of the gathering tern high and her appearance was cheered with remarks. As the gathering joined in joining "John Brown's Body Lies a Mounder in the Grave," it was inedible a dramatic and inspiring scene which will not soon be forgotten by all those who were privileged to be present on this occasion. Lowe Payne next favored with an inspiring vocal selection and was greeted with great applause when she also favored with an encore number. SPEAKER OF THE EVENING Dr. Frederick Warde who had been chosen as the evening way of a happy selection and committee extremely fortunate in procuring his service. For be it known that Dr. Frederick Warde is himself one of the world's greatest characters, one of the greatest actor of all time and as a portrayer of Shakespeare roles therehave been none to compare with him. He is known all over the world and is known by all peoples, races and creeds. He is as dynamic and forceful in speaking as he was on the stage. His address on Lincoln was that of a master. He drew three vivid pictures of Lincoln from his birth in a lowly chair without windows or doors, his first inauguration as President of the United States and finally his death when representatives of all nations paid him silent homage. This man, who rose from obscurity and grasped "Opportunity," he excelled his hearers upon taking advantage of opportunity and praised the great guiding force of the N.A. for equal opportunity all. His indictment, ample address and held spell-bound his hearers throughout its entire delivery. At the conclusion of Dr Warde's address, President C. - H. Hudson spoke forcefully upon the future of the Association and made the appeal for pledges for the branch to raise its quota, national as well as Local defense funds. The responses were gratifying indeed. The closing number by Mr. Clarence Muse, who is said to be, by those who know, the race's greatest drama at this time and who is the star in the "Hearts of Dixie," a movieieture picture, was a fitting finale, and climaxed the meeting of its kind ever held by the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. IF LINCOLN COULD RETURN TODAY BY: EVA CARTER BUCKNER If Lincoln could return today, I wonder what hold and say About this great and glorious land. Over which he once had full command? With all the progress he would see I all he would astonished be. The lightning speed of which we boast A touch, a sound from coast to coast. The clearly distance-spoken words. Ships sailing through the air like birds Numero inventions small and great Too many to enumerate. With all these things so strange and new, I am sure he'd scarce know what to do, and like a wanderer on his stand— A stranger in his own home land, Until he'd look around and see That he'd open a flag of Liberty. ? wonder then if he'd recall The greatest deed he had for all? And that all. His world must be That he had set the captive free? What! Set the million captives free? But 'twas a mightier hand you see Guided the pen, 'twas so to be, What you and I love best—free air; And too, his knowing eyes could see That to advance, all must be free. And Nature says and it is true To crush the one, we crush the two; And all who love their country true (Continued from Page One) groves are employed by some of the most powerful agencies of our government both nationally and locally. Let us use these opportunities we have by making friends of our employers. We need also to recognize the fact that our employers are our friends. We recite with gib glue the following litte lines: Almighty Dollars, by shiny face Reflects thy wondrous power. In my pocket find a hiding place, And yet as almighty as the dollar is it males into insignificance by the side of the employer who has furnished us the job by which we earn the almighty dollar. Make friends of your employers not by merely grinding around a time when we colored people can see. A day has passed. We must be dependable, efficient and punctual. Sometimes we think it is our color that is against us. It is not so. It is most often our unreliability, our inefficiency, our lack of punctuality also our cursed dispositions, peevishness, and selfishness. LikeWin friends by efficiency by courtesy, by kindness and devotion to the interests of our employers. THIRD—Keep cheerful. It is the Neerro's cheerful spirit in the past which has kept him alive when many other people would have died. Such sloven as: "I could be worse.? It's better further on" and the like are excellent, psychological foundations upon which to build our cheerfulness. Let us never get away from that spirit, and let us never be in the midst of their limitations with the spirit and he understanding to sing: FOURTH—Let us assume a psychological attitude of no race differences in public places. This is a difficult thing to do especially on the part of many of us who have lived in the United States and are accustomed to the discriminations which stick out and sizzle as in the face everywhere. Nevertheless we must stand up for our American principles of sexual opportunity here in the West and in those parts of the country not cared for" with "the Southern system." Sometimes we are accustomed to the harsh, expectant attitudes. Even a matured person will throw a stone at a cowed, sneaking car, because his attitude invites a stone. FIFTH—ignore rather than present any insult real or aparent. Even intended insults are better handled by ignoring them rather than resenting them. The person of another race, course and crude enough to call you a "higger" is not worth noticing. In fact, we are silly when we come so emphatically resentful. Jews are called "sheenies" and they go ahead and irade, make money and control the money purses of the world. Japanese pay very little attention to being called a "Jap" but go ahead and outwork the other fellow and win respect and cooperation of their enemies in spite of it. Italians go ahead and sell fruits and vegetables and get rich in spite of being called "Dagoes." But we colored people, as soon as we are called "higger" even by people who are ignorant and discourteous that they never will be able to do anything for or against anybody, we fly into a rage and fly off as fumed air. The process is silly. The man who willfully insults people is always inferior to the people insulted. SIXTH—Practice an attitude of respectfulness and courtesy toward people or other races. Crudeness and dis courtesy can thrive only in an atmosphere are considerate of the rights of others, courteous in our dealings with them, and invite no negativity by our generally respectful attitudes toward other people, we will find that by that method better than by any other we shall be able to command the courteous treatment of others. We should courteously I do not mean Uncle Sam parties of servility, but courtesy after the custims common among well-bred people. If in our club meetings and even in our churches some time could be given to training our people to be mannerser and thereby considerate, then we would render a far greater service to the race than ranking discussions about the wrongs perpetuated upon us. SEVENTH—Cultivate Self-Appreciation and Race Solidarity. This perk is one or our most difficult propo Friday, February 15, 1929 Civilization which is not our own, even the language we speak is against us. The word white means purity without a bleemish, that which is good. Black means evil, that which is imprinted that which is bad. Our literature and civilization itself is against us. Artists picture God, Angels and saints as white, but the devil and his impas as black. No wonder a goodly number of thoughtless people among us like to get away from ourselves. Nevertheless we must cultivate self-appreciation, we must make people respectable and humorous and dependable in style of their color. Have you ever stopped to consider that no other races under heaven dislike to live together as badly as we do? Have you ever heard any complaint among white people because they live together in the Wiltshire and the Yorkshire areas. They live together and are proud of it, but we naturally segregate ourselves and then fuss and fume about it. Do not misunderstand me. I am unalterably opposed to being segregated by somebody else who imposes it upon us by law. I think white people themselves would not like to be restricted as to the plpace of their residence' by race, but when we do waphen to live open to life, we it—proud of the fact that we have an opportunity to do something ourselves for the welfare of our community. EIGHTH—Let us fix a higher goal of culture and civilization than that in which we live, and strive to reach it. Read history, I discover that while some people have been accomplished by other races and nationalities, there is yet room for improvement. Egypt built up her civilization upon the desire to leave be her greatness. The pyramid monument to her west bank or the Nile today as that monument to her greatness. But what are they? Only tombs in which she buried her dead and her dead civilization upon the love of the beautiful art, language and literature. Rome built her civilization on military genius and orderly enforcement of law. The Anglo-Saxon built up his love of the world, and gifted some of the higher principles of Christianity. To my way of thinking, there is no thing in the older civilizations or our own that we need to ape. American civilization which may be the best up to the present time, but we know that it can be improved upon. Who knows that the best way to improve to such a time as this that we may dedicate our lives and energies to the building of a civilization far-more excellent than any that has come before us. Let us dedicate our talents to the building of a much needed civilization and social order whose cornerstone will be Jesus Christ and whose energying force and genius will be love for God hibernist in unrestricted, unimaginable, and fellow man about regard for races or nationalities. KEE PRECORD OF ALL SPEEDERS Hibitual speeders are now "out before a L Angelus jumper lude jumper Through the development of a special "speeder file" accurate records are kept of every offender who is charged with serious offences, according to U. G. Emme, in charge of the traffic violations bureau, in 2001, established through the co-operation of the Traffic Commission and the Automobile Club of Southern California, has eliminated the possibility of tag fixing, from the time the task is made out until it is disposed on court, it was stated. Seventy-five per cent of Los Angeles motorists never get a traffic tag, the records show. About five per cent of the motorists get a traffic tag of the minor traffic laws, while less than two per cent of all motorists are listed as "serious offenders." Test "Intersection Stop" Signals Installation of "intersection stop" signals, to be placed at corners where the flow of traffic does not warrant a regulation traffic signal, is now being considered in Los Angeles, according to W. L. Brent, president of the Traffic Commission. Intersection stop traffic signals at intersecting streets where the traffic is light is not only expensive but unwise. Mr. Brent said. The signal stops all traffic on the main boulevard for approximately half of the time, but if there is little more traffic, of the available street area, we wanted. The proposed signals are in effect single "boulevard stops." On a boulevard stop street, traffic from all intersecting streets is required to stop before proceeding into the main thoroughfare, or by affects traffic at a particular intersection, it was pointed out. SHELL OIL GIANTS AND CLEVELAND GIANTS IN PLAY-OFF SERIES OF WINTER LEAGUE With the top rung of the second half of the Winter League gained, the Cleveland Giants that star aggregation of big league colored players that has made winter baseball possible this season, have been organized, the Shell Oil Giants for the championship of the Winter League. A game between these two great teams next Saturday, February 16th and a double-header Sunday, February 17th with the first game starting at 1:30 will bring to a close one of Los Angeles greatest Winter League season. Though named the "Cleveland Giants, the team is in reality made up of selections from practically every team in the Negro National League, Allen, Day, Stearns, Dixon, Mottell, Brewer, Beckwith and Green, all star fielders, the nationally famous catchers, Mackey and Fullen, with a pitching staff consisting of Capt. Rogan, Glass, Brewer and Gardner made a team drafted from Chicago giants, Kansas City Monarchs, Hilldale Giants, Homestead Grays and other big teams of the N. N. L. Carr joined after the season was well on as did also Dials. Though handicapped by unusually cold weather the, games have been well attended several times during the warm autumn days overflowing the park. There has been little or no disgust or unpleasantness and the team has kept together without any withdrawals. At no loss a few times to Pirrone's All Stars and the White Kings, the only other two teams may play. The team has colored the boys for the second half up until last Sunday Feb. 10th. Then by a loss to the White Kings at Long Beach while the Cleveland team won at Los Angeles a week end series of three straight over Pirrones All Stars, the final totalling left Cleveland winner of the second half. GIANTS WIN DOUBLE-HEADER With Jolley pitching and McMullen catching on Saturday, with Pirrone Sawyer and others making runs while McMullen and Pick made home runs, the All Stars beat the Giants with Gardner pitching and scored 11-7 with the awful number of 25Hits to 10. But coming back strong on Sunday with Brewer pitching in the first game they shut the Pirrons out 3 to 0, allowing only 6 hits. The win in the second with "Bullet" Rogan pitching at Turkey, he then again 11 to 2.

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. WRITES AND DIRECTS Frank Tuttle, author of the recent Esther Balson picture, "Something Always Happens," adapted and wrote the dialogue for "The Studio Murder Mystery," which Paramount will film as a full speaker production. The Edington are the authors of the original. IN SEVVEN TONGUES "The Canary Murder Case," S. S. Van Dine's record-breaking detective novel now being published. Paramount has been imbued into seven foreign languages, swedish, Norwegian, Danish, French, German, Polish and Croatian. HOMES RETURNES Phillips R. Holmes, young Princeton sophomore, who was signed to a Paramount contract during the filming of "Varisity," has recovered from a long illness and has resumed screen work. A role in "The Wild Party," starring Clara Bow, marks his return. TWO TO DIRECT Edward Sutherland and John Cromwell will direct "Burlesque," Paramount's next all-taking story of the stage. PATRICIAN PLAYER HOME Flore Vidor, Paramount's patrician beauty has returned from Nek York, where she rested for a month between pictures. 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 BUCK AND BUBBLES bring their singing and dancing acts to the local Orpheum and are really getting over big. I mean. Great little act.

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.

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.

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.
