Ousted From Shuler Jury "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," Wednesday afternoon "Herald" came out stating that while both sides in the Rev. Shuler Criminal Libel suit were in a quest for Jurors, Mrs. Willie Mae Beavers, of wife of a member of the official staff of the Golden State; Insurance Co. who has been serving in the Superior Court, Dept. 17 for the past three weeks was duly paneled. But when the Rev. "Bob" heard that Mrs. Beavers had been selected even though she is a highly cultured Christian young woman; the fighting person said we just can't use her—The Negroes are against me on account of my approval of the Ku Klux Klan. MRS. GED. A. DEAVERS JR. How contrary this attitude to the one expressed by the Rev. "Bob" a few months ago when he stood before a Negro audience declaring his faith in them. Rev. "Bob" Shuler is doing a great work in his effort to clean up Los Angeles, but in order to successfully do this as Jesus cleaned out the Temple when it was being made a house of merchandise, Rev. Shuler, and his coharts must first clean, prejudice and race hatred out of their own lives—Seah: Domestic Argument has Tragic Ending CLARKSDALE, Miss., Feb. 20.—(By The Associated Negro Press) As a result of a quarrel as to who should build a fire, Ben Randolph, a carpenter, was shot and killed by the wife Mary Randolph, Wednesday morning. The husband was shot one time with a 32 calibre pistol back of the left ear. The woman was arrested by city police a few minutes after the shooting and was placed in the Oklahoma Jail on a charge of murder. An explosion and fire on last Sunday evening at 16:37 E. 27th Street caused by little Johnle Barnes age 9 trying to build a fire with the assistance of coal oil in the absence of his parents resulted in the hurling to death of his two younger sisters, Routa and Les Verene age 5 and 3 respectfully. Seeing the fire beyond control the frightened boy rushed from the premises in search of aid. His mother who was in the house adjacent along with other neighbors rushed to the scene and attempted to rescue the children who by this time were enveloped by flames and smoke. The fire department finally arrived on the scene, extinguished the fire and rescued what proved to be the practically chared bodies or the two children. Several including the boy and his mother were burned in their efforts to save their lives. The house burnt to the ground leaving the family without shelter. Last Wednesday morning the funeral parlor of Conner and Johnson and all that was mortal of little Rosetta and La-Verne was laid to rest in Evergreen After complete investigation and several public hearings, the Inter-Denominational Alliance and the Los Angeles Forum have gone unqualified on record being in favor of the establishment of the Bell (Cement) Project in the Santa Monica mountains. Resolutions from both of these important bodies have been sent to the members of the City Planning Commission and to the City Council, requesting that the necessary re-zoning and operating permit for the rock quarry and crusher be granted. More than fifty other organizations, representing 100,000 property owners and taxpayers, have also gone on record as being in accord with the city-wide movement to clear the way for the establishment of this great new enterprise in Los Angeles Angeles. Opposition or the so-called cement trust to the Bell enterprise, which will provide employment for many citizens and help reduce the cost of construction of public highways and all buildings in which cement is used, has been condemned and the municipal legislative body is urged to take action at an early date which will enable Mr. Bell and his associates to begin operations. The resolution adopted by the Inter-Denominational Alliance is as follows: Feb. 25th, 1929. To The City Planning Commission and the Council of the City of Los Angeles. INTER-DENOMINATIONAL OLORED ALLIANCE (Signed) By: R. R. KTNG. Acting Secretary Special committees from both the Inter-Denominational Alliance and the Los Angeles Forum visited the site of the proposed quarry and rock crusher plant in and near the necesses of the Santa Monica mountains. In addition to taking this precaution before they went on record for or against the undertaking, speakers from both sides were heard. All phases of the undertaking were gone into and the decision of the two bodies in favor of Mr. Bell's project was practically unanimous. The resolution adopted by the Los Angeles Forum was as follows: "February 17th, 1929. "To The City Planning Commission, City Hall, Los Angeles, California. "Gentlemen; "At a meeting of the Los Angeles Forum, held on this date, resolutions were adopted as follows: • "WHEREAS, a special committee was appointed by the Forum to visit the site of the proposed quarry and rock crusher in the Santa Monica mountains, application for which was made by the Los Angeles Mountain Park Company, and is now pending before the City Planning Commission, and, "WHEREAS, after visiting the site and viewing the surrounding district, the committee has this day rendered its report, stating that in its opinion, 'There is not the remotest probability or the operation of such a plant becoming dangerous to the health or destructive of the peace of any citizen of Los Angeles,' which report was adopted by the Forum, and.

Charge Man With Abducting 15-Year-Old Girl New York, N. Y., Feb. 26—Andrew Braithwaite, 22 of 2052 Seventh avenue was held in $1,500 hall for a further hearing when arrested in court Saturday on charges of abduction. Braithwaite was arrested in connection with the recent occurrence of Realeus Hall, 15, who lived at the same address. The girl disappeared a week ago and a general alarm was sent out for her at the request of her parents. Braithwaite who had been friendly with the girl, was questioned, but he denied knowledge of her whereabouts. Detectives then decided to question the suspect again. When threatened with arrest, it is said the accused man told police the girl could be found at 126 West, 27th street. Detectives then to that address where they found the girl. She is alleged to have implicated Braithwaite who was subsequently arrested. The girl was placed in custody of the Children's Society. Braithwaite expressed a willingness to marry the girl. Close and continuous personal contact with the home owners and taxpayers of the district, to insure a correct understanding of the wishes of the people, and a budgeting of improvements to protect the public from being overwhelmed by a flood of assessments, are the outstanding points in the declaration of James R. Gentry in announcing his candidacy for Council from the Eighth District. Gentry, whose home is at 345 West 65th street, is 42 years old, has been a resident of Los Angeles for 22 years, and for more than five years has lived in the Eighth District South of Slauson. Throughout his entire residence dence here he has been active in public affairs. He was a candidate for Council in the 1927 campaign, and ran second to the Frank L. Shaw, the successful candidate. He is widely and favorably known, and thoroughly acquainted with the problems of City government. Mr. Morrow has bene in the state for six years having formerly lived in Topeka, Kansas, where he was connected with the Kansas Vocational School for forty-five years. His training was received in Manhattan Agricultural College and Tuskegee Institute. Mr. Morrow is now associated with Mr. Smith S. Lee, Real Estate Broker and Mr. Steele McClean, builder, and is able to finance the building of residences and business houses for our people at a rate which cannot be duplicated by competitive builders. His motto is service, honesty and courtesy to all. A conference is solicited by those interested in building, but who have only a small capital with which to begin. He can be reached by calling office phone, Terrace 2974 or residence phone, Terrace 5598; residence 859 Sunset Ave. "The Special Assessment situation is the more serious problem facing Los Angeles today," Mr. Gentry said in announcing his candidacy. "If I am selected to represent the Eighth district in City Council, I will work for a system of budgeting all public improvements, so that a comprehensive plan can be followed, that will prevent levying heavy and continuous assessments that register to our own home owner. The development and progress of Los Angeles must proceed, but the development should be intelligently planned to meet the desires of the people, and their ability to pay. I believe that a member in the City Council should keep continuously in touch with the people he represents, and keep them in touch with the improvements and projects that are on their own district and throughout the city. "I pledge myself to follow this policy if elected. My plan is to divide the Eighth district into four sections with a central meeting place for each, preferably a school house. On the first, second, third and fourth Monday of each month I will meet with the people of the respective sections who are actively interested in public affairs, for an open discussion or any public questions that effect them. The result of such policy would be two-fold, in that it would keep the people in close touch with the activities of the City Council and would keep their positions in the City Council touch with their activities and desires with relation to these activities. In other words, I propose if elected, to bring the City to the people who have not the time to go to the City Hall. Temporary headquarters for Mr. Gentry's campaign can be reached over telephone THornwall $354.

Evans and wife, wife, whites, were lodged in jail charged with obtaining money from Negroes through a ruse. It is alleged the two would claim to be Red Cross Workers.

The remarkable growth of the American Woodmen is shown up by the annual report as of January 1st, 1929. The report shows the assets of the Order to be in excess of two million dollars. A few years ago, such an achievement would not have been thought possible of a Negro institution. The Order has paid more than two and one half million dollars in death and accident claims to its members and has loaned the tenth manado besides the American Woodmen was organized in 1901 at Denver, Colorado and its home office in that city has been forty and fifty trained colored men and women who co-operate with the local officers of six hundred camps in thirty-two states. The Seventh Quadrennial Convention of the Society will convene with the Supreme Camp in Denver this August and at that time the Supreme Camp officers will be elected for the next four years. Because of this event, the Los Angeles Camps under the supervision of District Manager Ben H. Graham will award several round trip tickets to the Denver Convention to Los Angeles members who enter the membership contest. A special Pullman for the Los Angeles delegates is being arranged for. A dispensation allowing a very low joining fee has been put into effect and it is expected by local officials that one thousand new members will be allowed to the Los Angeles delegates. Fifty workers will canvass the city and cash prizes are being allowed all workers who fail to qualify for the trip to Denver, Colorado. Contestants and team workers are meeting daily with District Manager Graham in the local office at 1400 Central avenue. The first Los Angeles camp was organized in the fall of 192. Today there are four local camps with a combined membership of little less than two thousand. Approximately twelve thousand dollars has been paid out in sick and death benefits by the local camps. Woman Takes Leave And Valuables (By: A. N. P.) New York, N. Y., Feb. 26.—Bessie Wright, 33, was held in $1,500 ball for the Grand Jury when she was arraigned in court Saturday on a charge of grand larceny made by George Miller, Miller, who declares he is the son of General Grant's coachman, charges that the woman visited his home, and when she left, he missed a ring valued at $50 and a wallet containing $325. The woman denied theft of the articles. The Civic Law Research Enforcement League with superintendent M. A. Shippman at the bat hit vice conditions as they exist in the state a sole pleura last Tuesday evening at the Friendship Baptist Church, Panadena of which the Rey, W. R. Carter is the Pastor. The Church was completely filled and the response to Mr. Shippman's message was briim full. NOT MANY weeks ago we sat and stood at intervals for nearly two hours on the main floor of the New York Home Office of the Metropolitan Insurance Company. On this floor there were many windows, business windows we mean, so many with seething crowds, like the mighty ocean constantly ebbing and swelling, that it was impossible for us to count them, but we noticed that in all these long lines of people that went to and from these windows, all the day long, every tenth person was colored. Our interest was aroused, we peeked inside the different compartments and on the floors of the halls and vestibules, leading to the entrances but not one colored employee was visible. With a feeling of abandon which is a natural sequence after such an hopeless experience we turned and walked out of the building. We wanted to bow our heads and tune our hearts to a season of greater meditation, but here at our right was New York's great Flat Iron Building, and on all four sides a mighty rushing of pedestrians on feet and vehicles of all description. It was noon and New York was going to lunch. We had no time nor place to think. Soon, however, the scene was changed, we sound ourselves on deck of a beautiful white winged steamer forcing its way down a little ocean path between great rusty ferry boats and tugs of every description. Down the East River we sailed and thought, thought how some years ago it was necessary the Mergopolitan insurance Company, but not now. In nearly every State in the Union there is an all-Negro insurance Company and the only way we may resent the insult heaped upon us by this greatest of all insurance organizations, is by building one or some with volumes of business that will necessitate our erection of buildings reaching skyward, where our young men and women may look out from behind plateglass windows and do business. SUNDAY WAS A busy day for us at 8:30 A. M. we attended the third annual breakfast of the Golondrina Club of First A. M. E. Church honoring Iverna Irwin and Jimmie Smith, mid-winter graduates. The program, first of all consisted of a well-cooked breakfast, included in which was grape fruit, creamed chicken, corn fritters, baked white potatoes, hot biscuits, jelly and chocolate. And while we feasted on these, Miss Thelma Lowery, retiring president of the club and Mistress of Ceremonies, arose and called upon Rev. W. D. Miller, pastor of First A. M. E. Church, who extended the welcome greeting and then followed impromptu remarks by the honored guests, after which the included a postal invitation to the main auditorium of the church where a highly entertaining and religiously educational program was rendered by the young people of the church. The Board of Directors of the Golondrina Club consisting of Mdesames Lowery, Tanner, Borton, Carter, Terry, Howard, Spiller, Burgess and Brooks, also Mrs. Miller, the organizer are reserving neither time nor energy in their effort to make this club highly cultured and properly directed along the line of religious education. SUNDAY AFTERNOON we visited the County Farm, where we went ostensibly, to visit our old Friend and ex-writer on the Eagle, Mr. S. B. Carr, of Passadena. Still retaining some of his pep and vitality, Brother Carr was hard to find. We had visited many of the wards, meeting and greeting many old friends enquiring always for the one we seeked, and were about to wind up our stay when across the great stretch or campus we strained our eyes at a figure that, even though in the distance, we thought we recognized both in face and form, and upon near approach found that we were not mistaken for here was our old friend and newspaper associate S. Carr; his little sister, little slower and his memory not so sharp, but his vision is keener; for once he turned an admiring gaze upon the earth. The children of men were the protouf subjects about which his thoughts centered. But now the old man seems to be looking far above, up beyond the big trees, over the hill into a world unknown, where he thinks that some day he will find great comfort, and a lasting pleasure in his surroundings. AT THE COUNTY Farm we also found Mrs. Sarah S. Stewart, who nearly five years ago feeling that she was broken in health joined the great caravan of those who enter this last haven of refuge where they prepare to meet and fight that last battle with the arch enemy—DEATH. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE MAGAZINE SECTION (For The Associated Negro Press) Dulce Heyward must to write an allegory in "Mamba's Daughters" whose chooses as the outstanding book for February by the Literary Guild—he succeeded. If he did not mean to be allegorical, he succeeded just the same. For Mamba's Daughters, whether the author intended or not, is a pace of the progress of a race, from emancipation to the present, or even the future. Mamba, the protagonist, is a fine, strong character, magnificent in her very unarmoral attitude toward "her white folks," whom she adopted and used for her own ends and purposes. Mamba's daughter, Hagar, who adopts the alias of Baxter, "for business purposes," is like crude oil, heavy, clumpy, strong, but the necessary lubricant of the world's machinery. Legal Hagar's daughter, and Mamba's grand daughter, the third generation, the refined product of the previous two, is slim litte, educated, refined, delicate; the exotic lily rising on the edge of the same floor, beneath the allegory of the "slow-moving moment of a climbing race." For Mamba is the generation immediately following unmilcapation: the people who earned their living as domestices; whose pride expressed itself in having standing with "white folks"; who looked forward to the second and third generation for the full expression of their own ambition and pride of race. By the same token, so is Hagar, her daughter, the next generation of laborers, tillers of the soil, workers in mines and mills. Emancipated from domestic service, because of its very strength, erudition, and lack of adaptability to the delicate involutions of house service, yet a strong generation, laying the foundation of economic independence by toilsome work, certainly dumb yet potent, hard-drinking, independent powerful, hard-drinking, independent powerful, taking its nurtured, unlettered, yet with respect for those who would come after it, with refinements and culture. And helping that very next generation by its hard won wealth. Such was Hagar; such the second generation. And then comes Lissa, the daughter of Hagar, the third generation since on vacation Lissa is beautiful, refined delicate, with a wonderful gift of song—the Negro's gift to America. Mama keeps her away from Hagar, as a thing too delicate and radiant to be soled by contact with the huge strength of the free living, hard-drinking, labor-loving, unconscious mother. The infrequent and hurried Sunday afternoon inferviews between Hagar, who had walked the long, hot, dusty miles between the phosphate camp and the trysting place, and Mama, guarding the flower-like perfection of Lissa, were more pathetic than satisfying. Hagar felt this, but she went on piling up the savings that eventually be swelled freedom for the girl. And so the third generation of the race flowers into perfection; is educated, cultured, refined, beautiful, with its bronze and magnolia perfection, and fites away northward to Harlem—where opportunity awaits it. And for all the coarseness of the second generation; for all its fighting, drinking, laboring, hulking unconsciousness, and suffering, its unliness its ignorance, yet it finds and points the way for the freedom of the third generation; makes possible its burgeoning into full bloom of opportunity. For Hagar was able to give Lissa not only money but the prayer-book with the name and address of the Episcopal clergyman in New York, where the girl could stay and have protection as she studied. That same unfortunate clergyman who had valuely set his mission up in the happiest and greatest agonies against the oppression and ignorance and debasing practices. Whether allegory or merely a detailed history of event, "Mamma's Daughters" is the finest presentation of the modern Negro in all phases of his life, lowly and humble striving upward and beautiful, south and north, educated and ignorant, that has yet been done. The calvain of the novel is broad, even though the action is almost confined to Charleston, South Carolina, and its dignity. The New York scenes are slight, though, according. From "Forgy" the title has pre gressed—even though Pory and his goat cart fit across the scene, an evanescent feminist of Catfish Row—where after all, Mamba and Hagar had their origin. But the author has not hesitated when a situation presented itself, to carry that situation to its logical conclusion. His white people, whose lives run continually with the Negroes in the book seem not so much like characters in a story, as real beings dropped into our lives. You delight in the quiet satire at the northern whites and their hastily assumed southern veneer—the women folks, at least, and you enjoy the way Atkinson "puts it over" his wife and the social situation. Saint Wentworth the neer-do-well of the family, is really the hero of the book. How strange to find a novel with one white man for a hero and three Negro women for the heroines. Their lives only touch here and there. Then when they touch, with a strong, vital grip that changes the course of many lives. And Saint Wentworth is one of the most lovable characters you may meet anywhere. For years the Negro has complained that the novels written about us have not stressed the cultured, refined, educated Negro, he who has been through college, rides in automobiles, paints pictures, writes books, sings classic songs, lives in beautiful homes, attends cultured churches of his own, does not go to cabarets, and is not a decadent replica of the white man's worst. For years we have deplored that we are constantly being shown in cross sections that do us no credit. And yet, too often when we ourselves write or our so-called best society, we are so anxious to exhibit that best we "point with pride" in a manner uncomfortable like a child showing off its doll-house to a skeptical grown-up. And when, sometimes our friends on the other side have attempted the same kind of description, their attitude is patronising, superior, as if one were admiring that same child because it knows how to pour tea at a doll's tea party. Du Boes Heywart now solves the Gordian knot of this strange puzzle—how to treat the best of the Negro without showing off or patronizing. He does it by the very simple expedient of telling the story, describing the scenes in easy, natural manner. We see the church service in the fashionable Episcopal church colored in Charleston; we attend a musical at the home of one of the leaders of the "blue yelp" group; we go in the automobile of the wealthy banker; wecuss "Negro artists at the church meeting. All quite natural—and Lissa, the climber, the generation striving to Be, submit to our pearl when she sheds all of her first social event." "They seem to spend all their time saying how glad they are to be Negroes, and all the time they're trying their damneded; to be white." Has not the author put his finger unerringly on the sore spot in the social fabric of the Negro? There are so many light points in the book that a mere catalogue of them would take many pages. Eager bidding the baby Lissa, farewell, while the policeman waits, after she had collected her laundry wages in blood from the sailor; Mamba and the judge's齿牙, or course, will take its place among the classics; Raymond talking to Saint Wentworth—The rank and file of the poor-white, small farmers, workingmen, who fear the Negro in the maze worse than they do the devil." We love the individual Negro while we hate, or fear him as a race." God Star Mothers, explained by both Mothers," In the Monday night Musical Club ladies, those who were pale scough blusher; a leg was still a limb, and gentlemen asked permission to smoke cigarettes." A tribute to the higher moral standard of our best social circles. The origin of the dance called Charleston; Mamba and Lissa and Hazar and Gilly Bluton; Hagar alone in the swamp with the obscene lump of flesh that had been Bluton; Victor Hague never did a better bit—Lissa and Saint Wentworth on Lenox Avenue; Hagar's suicide, a beautiful bit, calm, peaceful, restrained. Lissa's trump on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House—and finally Mamba peaceful old age, surrounded by poignant pictures, surrounded by singer called Lissa, beautiful or sinister all come true, as she watches the Saint steamer sailing up the bar. Helen Hunt Jackson Branch Library Recent books of fiction added to the shelves of the Helen Hunt Jackson Branch Library cover a wide range of interests and many settings. DuBose Heyward's new story of life in pictureque Charleston was-chosen by the Literary Guild as their book for February. "Mamba as the Daughters" waves into one pattern the stories of the fortunes of the Wentworths, an old family of the aristocracy, and those of Mamba, who rose from Satfish Alley, which all readers of Pory remember vividly. The character of Mamba is portrayed with rare art, and the entire tale is one of enthralling interest. Lovers of mystery will find a number or excellent volumes for their delectation in the late additions. "The Prisoner in the Opal," A. E. W. Mason, is a thrilling account of crime and tragedy in a quiet French village. The lovely American heroine passes through many trials in her endeavor to save her friend from danger, but the astute French detective finally rescues her. "The House in Tuesday Market," by J. S. Fletcher, begins with the grusome discovery of a corpse under the window seat or an old house, and is full of excitement. James Hay writes of bootlegging and murder in his interesting story. "The Hidden Woman." Sigrid Undet, winner out the Nobel prize for literature this past, year, continues her fascinating chronicle of medieval Norway in "The Snake Pit." To this author the people of the middle ages are as real and vivid as her present day neighbors, and she makes them equally so to her Readers. The demand for "The Maric Island," Seabrook's new book about Haiti, continues to be heavy. This is one of the most worth-while books of many a day. What's New in Books What's New in Books ROWAN—Spy and Counter-spy. Spies, master-spies, land counter-spies, traitors, mertenancees and patriots; codes clobber and insultate the king; the mastery of history of doctors is rescued out of an unjust oblivion by this impressive book. SCHMALHUASEN—Why We Behave. The problem of our changing human nature clarified and dissected by the brilliant and humane appeal for the realization of sex as beauty rather than sex as smut. SCOTT - Influencing Men in Business. Practical psychology as applied to business. Especially valuable to the junior salesman and to young men in advertising lines. STRACHEY - Elizabeth and Essex. A moving biography of the Virgin Queen, a drama made poignant and personal by Elizabeth's love for Essex. TASKER - Brimhaven. A stern realistic account of prison life, revealing the attitude of the prisoners towards the outside world, the prison officials and each other. The author is a prisoner of 88 Quentin Scott. THOULESS—Control of the Mind. A tonic book on the fine art of living with yourself. WILLIAMS—Conquering the Air. Commander Bryd writes a tribute to the author. "I especially appreciate this book, as it contains much information I was anxious to have. I have had the good fortune to be intimately connected with some of the historical events you tell of." WALTER—The World on One Leg. The amazing story of a college athlete, (who after losing a foot made his way around the world without his arm being injured) royalty and statesmen and achieved the supreme adventure. A rarely beautiful book. You will read it once, then twice, and then go back and ditch it in again and again, and be glad for the understanding heart of DuBose Heyward.

THE CAPTAIN HANSEN OUTLEY, P. M. S. & T. LOCATED LIBERIA, AFRICA, QUALIFIES IN AVIATION Firefighters Bln. St Spanish Captain Outley on Schooling Ground in Germany, Where he Graduated as Instructor in Aviation Captain Hansen Otuley of the U. S. Army, located as an instructor on Military Affairs at Monrovia, in the Republic of Liberia, has qualified himself in addition to his military, accomplishments as an instructor in Aviation. He attended and graduated from the great Aviation School of Germany. He is acknowledged by the Germans as an accomplished and exceptional pilot. Captain Outley, back to his duties at Monrovia, recently had the privilege and honor of being the first American to pilot an air ship over the great country of Liberia. This happened on January 19th, 1929. It was on the occasion of a friendly visit of the U. S. S. Flagship, Raleigh, which had been in European waters and dropped anchor at the harbor in Monrovia; on this ship there was an aeroplane. It was his good fortune to get the required permission to fly the ship over the Republic of Liberia. It is Captain Outley's ambition to procure a ship and return from Africa on a tour around the world. It has been suggested by many that one who has made the sacrifices he has to acquire the knowledge in aviation which he has acquired, that no more fitting appreciation could be given by the race than to assist in the proposition of procuring the same, that he would continue to bring honor upon the race which he so creditably represents in the U. S. Army. Captain Outley is the son of Mme. Mozelle Te Outley, well known musical directress of this city and her friends join in congratulations for her distinguished son. Boston, Mass. Feb. 27—With a blazing electric sign across the front the 'Star Auto School' at 402 Massachusetts avenue, South End, throw wide its doors to prospective chauleurs and operators a few days ago, but before a single diploma was issued, the professors, Frank Howe and Frank Grant, were hailed into court on the charge or setting up and promoting a lottery. DespiteGlaborex external appearances, the place was not a school at all according to the evidences of Seret McKenzie and special officer La Crox or headquarters, in Municipal Court Monday. Judge Dowd imposed a fine of $100 each, the minimum for the offenders. The two educators appealed. Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 27—A tall blonde girl girl proved the bait that left addresses, in the train, giving a Boston address, into the train, cost him his watch and $3 in cash. Burke reported to police of station 3, East Cambridge, Saturday night that the attractive girl wearing a red hat and fur coat met him at Charles and Cambridge street, Boston. The two walked across the Longfellow Bridge. At Bluney and Second street, he was attacked by two men, but fought them off. A block away he was again attacked by the men, who overpowered him, and robbed him of his watch and bank role. CITY WINS WRIT FOR STATION The District, Court or Appeals affirmed a petition for this city for a writ of mandamus to compel the Interstate Commerce Commission to require the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and Los Angeles & Salt Lake railways to erect and maintain a union passenger station in this city. This action is a 12-year fight between the city and the roads. The case arose in a jurisdictional dispute to whether a state or federal agency had the power to require the railroads to erect the station. The road were ordered to erect the station by The State Railroad Commission and demurred and carried the case into the courts. Before the Supreme Court could not reach a decision, attorneys for the city applied for a writ of mandamus which would compel the Interstate Commerce Commission to issue the necessary order which was granted Tuesday. The Interstate Commerce Commission, a year ago, ruled that the union station should be built in the vicinity of the plaza by the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and Santa Fe railroads. It has been the desire of the Santa Fe for some time to build a new terminal of its own, while the State Railroad commission to continue its present passenger station which it shares with the Union Pacific. NEW EASTERN ROAD SYSTEM PLAN PLAGED BEFORE I. C. C. Having desirabed of reaching an agreement with the Pennsylvania on a broad program for redistributing the railroads of the East into four main systems, the Baltimore & Ohio and the Van Sweringan roads have changed their strategy and gone direct to the Interstate Commerce Commission with their plecemental plans. The advantage of presenting a unified schedule on which all the competitors agreed has been lost. The Interstate Commerce Commission will accordingly become the storm center, and the differences, which have not yet been troned out in private conference will be threshed out in public sessions. There will accordingly be a division of the spoils in accordance with the Wilsonian formula of "Open covenants openly arrived at." The Van Sweringan gen group, which already has had Erie, would seek permission to acquire the Delaware Lockawann & Western, as an additional entrance to the port of New York, irrespective of the Pennsylvania's control of the Wabash, the Baltimore & Ohio has asked the commission to rule the inclusion of the B & O. Clarence R. Johnson, Financial Secretary of Dhaka Car Employees Local Number 582, caught the first train north east to San Francisco, where a wage conference is being held with Southern Pacific officials and Jno. Williams, mediator of the United States Mediation Board. A wire from General Chairman of The Grievance Committee McFarland, requesting Mr. Johnson's immediate presence in the Bay City caused this official to leave other matters of vast importance to be present at this meeting, that was halted when a small increase was offered. All members of the organization are eagerly awaiting the return of Mr. Johnson to bring the glad tidings. PULLMAN PORTERS ELATED OV FR VICTORY Pullman Porters are to be congratulated on having a man like A. Philip Randolph to fight their battles for them. Attempts have been made to organize movements among these men before but like many other movements among our people they have come to grief because of the selfishness or weakness of the officials. From the very start Randolph was able to inspire the confidence of the men and from the very start he has proved that their confidence was not misplaced. He has gone through many fires, losing his mother and brother, his only immediate relatives, seeing the work of years, his magazine, the Messenger, fail for want of his personal attention, being attacked by mercenary and jealous misleaders—through it all he has continued to work and fight faithfully and co-operously for the organization at a very meagre salary. Although opposed at the very outset in the effort to secure a charter from the American Federation of Labor by very strong forces Randolph never quit but continued to bring pressure to bear until the charter was granted. The public rejoice with these men at the winning of this important victory and every man should be proud of A. Philip Randolph and anxious to support him with all their power. HERE AND THERE Business Car, 102 (Overland) will depart for New York City, Friday, after having spent an entire month in Angeles and neighboring towns. Honor Alexander Stewart on this palace on wheels is quite anxious to hurry back East, although he regrets leaving some of his warm friends as Lawrence Cloud. Rock Island, 1900, after several days in the city, departed for the East Monday. Rock Island, 1911, left her space after several days in the city. Mr. William Fitch, vice-president of the stock island, beasts of having an A-I steward in the person of Wm. Super who has been constantly in the employ of this official several years, during their stay in the city B. S. Phillips showed every point of interest and the beauty of this city to Mr. Euper and his chef who have been associated together on this car for years. New York Central Car, 89, fills space on the sick track with Rock Island, 1904, bounded on the North by Baltimore & Ohio, 902. Vice-president Archibald Fries on board the 902, with Chef John Contee and Theodore Dent Portar, this came direct from Baltimore, Maryland, over the Santa Fe from Chicago here, arriving in this city Tuesday evening. Mr. Contee has several friends in the city, namely Mr. Fred Williams, editor of the Pacific Defender and Dr. J. Rout, both men are Elks and made a sushi to the Elks Rest to give them the once over. They will depart over the Southern Pacific lines for San Francisco returning to this city Saturday. Car Northland (Daluh, Misabee & Northern), with headquarters at Daluh, Minnesota, arrived in the city Tuesday evening on this car we have Chas, Colby, chef and Frank Franklin, Porter, both of Daluh. Colby who is in his seventies has been in the employ of the President of this road for forty years and from the conversation of this veteran we conclude that he is not contemplating making any changes. Mr. Colby has Mrs. Colby and daughter. Ann, who are enjoying the luxuries of this palatial car the same as the official and his friends. Mr. Colby and daughter will return to the Union Pacific via Salt Lake City while Mr. Colby and car will go via Arizona and Texas. Of the many employed interviewed find Mr. Colby have the softest of jobs, as he only makes two and three trips a year. Mr. Walter Smith of this city, a friend, has known this grand old man for years and was glad to greet him on his arrival to The Land of Sunshine. About $3,500,000 will be spent by the Western Railroad Company this year for improvements in existing roadway and equipment, this program does not include projects for the construction of new lines. The Western Railway has applied to Interstate Commerce Commission for authority to nominally issue $3,171,000 5½ per cent refunding gold bonds. SPARKS FROM THE RED CAPS' ANVIL The last of our co-worker, Mr. Leonard Scott is indeed a blow to us, leaving us on the night of his death well and in good spirits, to find the following morning that he was forever gone from our midst. Gone but will be remembered and mourned for years to come. He was serving as pallbearer, W. H. Hughes, C, Gary, S. G. Howard, P. Bradshaw, J. C. Robinson, J. W. Carrothers. For the purpose of meeting and introducing to all members of the Associative Baby Scott, the daughter and only child of Mr. Leonard Scott, president James Gray called a special meeting Friday evening, February 22. Several resolutions were offered and adopted. The baby was welcomed by the association and will be named the baby eyes of all members. Mr. and Mrs. Robt J. Landry are planning a trip East shortly; expect to visit New York, Washington, Philadelphia. We wonder why you choose the winter months for your trip.

Glover, chairman or the Executive Committee, gil Williams, chairman of the Entertainment Department, W. H. Murry, chairman of the Social Committee, expressed themselves as being highly pleased at the way things were carried out and said they would be on hand to entertain friends again next year.

Johnny Rees, "The Padre Sheilk," who contemplates matrimony, is putting bidding on strong now for the Golden State. Johnny whispered to a friend that he would buy the tiffany pay-day. This is a promising yung man but we think his brakes need a little adjusting. Bennie Roberson (Pee Wee) came back home to his old crew Sunday. Pee Wee was of so much value to this cow that his absence caused a howl to go out from them, we are glad to see him return but he has the makings of a waiter and it is our desire to see him move up a notch. The faithful services that Frank Savington has served his fellow men in the capacity of Secretary of Dining Car Employee Losts 582 is enough to evince the moral and economic support of the boys on this great system. UNION PACIFIC GOSSIP Union Pacific Railroad has granted 11,000, mechanical employees a week increase aggregating $10,000,000 annually.

The Lincoln management urges patrons to bring the kiddies—for "irene" is an attraction that both youngsters and grownups will adore. Its charm is wholesome—and lasting! The Black Sport World By ART HAMILTON San Bernardino, the Gate City, is noted for many things and has gained national fame from one of its many attractions, namely the National Orange Show, where he learned and we didn't want to talk about it anyway. What we are driving at is the number of well known boxers who have been turned out at San Berdoo, and have been in the big money—for a while at least. It wouldn't be anything but right to take up the old state favorite and San Bernardino's own Johnny Adams as the first boxer to be discussed in this article, because Johnny is the first fighter of any note at all that came out of the Gate City. Adams started fighting when he was 16 years of age; in the ring, I mean, he started fighting in reality the first day he hit school and believe me that young sprout could fight—even as a kid. Johnny was just a naturalborn bighter; but that's getting away from the story. As stated above he started fighting at the tender age of sixteen, and the state checked up on him after about six or seven bouts and forbid the future Mountain Lion to fight on the grounds of being too young. The Mountain Cat was determined to scrap so he moved to Arizona and was allowed to fight there a little, then the World War came along and Adams joined the navy, so that he could do plenty fighting and help Uncle Sam in the bargain. After he got out of the navy he went back to his one and only calling, fighting with the gloves. Johnny was weighing about 120 at this time and was beating all the boys at the weight on the coast. The young Mountain Lion took them all on and finally won the Pacific Coast Championship at the weight. As the Mountain Lion grew older he put on weight and he was soon scaling the weight of the lightweight division. In this division Adams fought some of the best boys in the country, listed among the boxers in the weight that Johnny holds victories appear the names of the famous Wild Cat, Ace Hudkins; Tommy Carter of four-round fame; Joe Benjamin and many other boys that now rate high in the fistic game or were rated pretty high in their day. When fighting as a lightweight, Adams rolled in coin by the barrel and was sitting on top of the world. But just about this time the Mountain Lion made the mistake that has put him on the fistic scrap pile as far as first class rating is concerned—he started to playing the bright lights and good times and started on the downward grade and hasn't stopped going yet. Johnny still has a few good rights left in him. This fact is proven by the fact that he opens up the new Orange Belt Arena on March seventh. But if Adams had used the right judgment he could be right in the big dough with a future ahead of him instead of having his future behind him at the age of 23. mBut for all his faults Johnny always gives the fans a run for their money, and he is a fighter in every sense of the word. NEIL CLISBY Another fighter that comes from the Gate City and has had a taste of the big time is the California Thunder Bolt, Neil Clisby. Clisby is rated as one of the best heavies in the country, and has fought some of the best heavyweights in the east and middlewest. Neil is fast and clever, in fact he is faster, than some boys of lighter weights. The Thunder Bolt has been fighting about six years and during that span of time there aren't many black marks chalked against his record that mean defeats. To the writers knowledge there are only two men who can boast of a knock-out over Clisby and one of them was a mystery and has remained so up to the present that he stopped playing in seven rounds after six of tingling. Clisby was leading on points up to the time of the knock-out and seceded headed for a victory over the best heavyweight in the U. S. The other man that hung the sleep powders on Neil was Long Tom Hawkins of San Diego, and he did it in his home town, San Berdoo. Some excuse can be offered for a bout lost to Godfrey but this bout with Hawkins was not to be explained. They were boxing along cautiously with Clisby leading on some pretty boxing, when all at once Long Tom swung one from the floor and let Nell have it smack on the point of the jaw. They had to carry him down after ten minutes of futile attempts to bring him around. Outside of these two battles the Thunder Bolt has lost very few bouts. Things have been quite slow for Clisby in the last few months but he swings into action soon with a return match with George Godfrey. BABY SAL SORIA This hard-hitting Mex is from Berdoo too as you know, and he has done plenty to put the old burg on the map in the fistic game. Sal knocked Darrio Barron colder than cold as the Olympic a year or so ago and knocked himself into the big time all in one shot. Soria was halled as the man to fake Bert Collins's place in the hearts of the fans, but his manager took him through the passes at a clip he too fast for the boy's own good, and you know the result. SUNDAY and MONDAY, MARCH 3-4 DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS in "MOLLYCODDLE CHAPTER 5 "THE TERRIBLE PEOPLE" After he took Barron, they matched him with Mike Wathers and he lost a ten-round decision, because Mike outboxed him. Next came Jimmy Pelia and he knocked Sal out in two rounds, although Soria claimed he lost track of the count. Mi-key Cohen of Colorado came next and was stopped by Baby Sal in two rounds. Joey Sangor was next on the list and he put Soria's lights out in seven rounds, getting up off the door to do it. Joey's experience alone beat the Mexican that night, but he beat him and that's what counts. Fernandez the Fillipino then came along and stopped Leaba's boy in nine rounds. After this fight, Soria laid off for six months and took a much needed rest. About six months ago he started his comeback and again he is on top. WRIGHT · In closing this epic on boxers we can't stop without saying something about Jimmy Black and his stalemate, Chalky Wright. Although Black has been fighting some little time the breaks haven't been of the best for the boy, but he is well on his way now and should break into big time at any moment. Wright just started but has put up so good fights he seems haded for the top. Rip, snort and tear, the mighty outlaws went down to defeat in basketball last Saturday night at the hands of the fighting HI-Y, Kids to the tune of 32:21. Polytechnic lost a hard fought game to Northeast 18-16. The thrills and chills will be furnished tonight by Jefferson vs Manuel, Y. M. D vs Alpha, Golden State vs Outlaws. Talk about speed and endurance! You should have seen Kid Carmichael gallop to victory over the Hollywood sheik in the 440 yd run, last Friday at the Jefferson Field. Speaking of the aviators should study heights from Dajos Jones, the Eagle of Polytechnic. When they striding, ask Lloyd Courtney, the camel of Ris how it feels to win a cross country. Beautiful balmy days are sending men and boys swarming to the gym and pool every day to get in condition for the annual relay carnival. Mr. Jefferson Brown, the physical director, has some real Olympic features in store for the big event. Keep well and live long, and how to accomplish such will be told by Dr. Diggs Stoll, the Sunday afternoon at the "Y" Admission Free. Say! Young Chap, what you want to meet a bunch of fine fellows, meet me at the Y. M. D. every Tuesday night. We held initiation last meeting night and the ceremony sure was touching and impressive. New Orleans Civic Leader Presented Loving Cup NEW ORLEANS, La., Feb. 22—(By The Associated Negro Press), Dr. J. A. Hardin, physician and outstanding civic leader, was presented with a lov- ing cup by the Children's Civic League at the second Carnival Festival at the Phyllis Whettley Home. Bernadine McGee made the presentation. The doctor is credited largely with making possible the Valaena C. Johannes School, now under construction in the Seventh Ward at a cost of more than $100,000. It also has been active in directing drug coverage, in the ward, such as street lighting, garbage collection, and better housing and street improvements. The Y. M. C. A.'s Annual Concert will be given this year, as usual, by the "Famous Williams' Jubilee Singera," March 25th, at the Second Baptist Church. All friends of the "Y" are asked to keep off that date. Dr. Hardin recently was instrumental in uniting the several civic clubs of the city into one federation of which he is president. Through this federation the Seventh Ward has benefited to the extent of nearly $3,000, 000; it is said. The Graduate Chapter of the Girl Reserves are steadily increasing their population. We have a social function once a month. In December, Miss Florence Cadres's home is decorated jolly Christmas party. In January, we had a buffet supper. This month we entertained the new members with a Valentine social. The program for the social was very interesting.

Miss Micheth Hampton, Ms. Bohman, Honore Moxley, and Dorothy Johnson did a clog dance. Miss Florence Cadres rendered two piano selections. An intelligence content was held between the Junior and Senior College students and it was won by Miss Honore Moxley.

Central Casting Corp.'s Colored Agency Acquires New Dignity Year and a half old department, at last acquires some press notices. The Central Casting Corporation, headed by Dave Allen, has on account of their increased business with Nerro talent, operated a department devoted to the attention of that type of extra. Chas Butler has for the past eighteen months been in charge of that department. The daily press up to this week is very busy and many people are busy. But we are happy to note that the page operated by Jimmie Starr in the "Record" made mention of this department. One of the Paramount Studio officials had this much to say abut it: With increased calls tr Negro actors in film productions, the Central Casting office is today functioning with a new department assigned to handle these actors exclusively. "With 'The Four Feathers' and 'The Woman Who Needed Killing' calling for hundreds of the black race, Charles Butler has been assigned to handle the 1015 colored men, women and children registered and ready for work in the films. "The native Swahili language of Africa will be heard on the screen in Paramount's all dialogue productions, "The Woman Who Needed Killing." Three score Negro actors are learning the Swahili tongue for the native court and festival dancing sequences. "Octavus Roy Cohen is now writing a story for for The Two Black Crowes, Moran and Mack. Many Negroes will find work in this dialogue production. "Hearts in Dixie" and "Halleujah" are also increasing the demand for the Negro actors. Hollywood has a unique academy of motion picture acting. It has but one regular student, and yet it boasts a faculty embracing the greatest names in the industry. The academy is a shoe shining stand at the Paramount studios. Oscar Smith, Negro bootblack and contract player, is the jesse student. Resident members of the faculty include Ernest Lubitsch, Emil Jannings, William Wellman, George Bancroft, Josef von Sternberg, Adophe Menjon, Victor Fleming, Richard Dix, Charles "Buddy" Rogers, and other stars, directors and featured players under contract to Paramount. Associate professors have included such greatly of the screen as Charles Chaplin Douglas Fairbanka, John Gilbert, the late Theodore Roberta, Ronald Colman and the late Wallace Reid. CLASSES EVERY DAY Classes at the show stand, school of motion, and theater are held every day except those when Oscar works before the cameras. While welding his brushes and polish dauers, Oscar absorbs lessons in comedy portrayals from Chester Conklin, gets tips on the act of being a comedian, and asks advice on interpreting heavy emotional drama from Janlings. It is Oscar's proud boast that he has shined the shoes or every notable of the films from Adolph Zuker on down. And never has he missed an opportunity to ask questions and absorb information. The screen celebrities have taken Oscar's thirst for knowledge seriously and have played their teacher roles accordingly. **OSCAR ACTS TOO** On stack times at his shine stand, Oscar supplements the regular lecture course with graduate work on the sets and observes his professors putting into practice the theories they expounded to him while their shoes were taking on new lazer. This intensive training, which dates back ten years to the time Oscar became valet for the late Wallace Reid, first bore fruit when the boothback was taken away from his stand to play a small role in a Richard Dix picture. He made good, and other small pictures. Then he was cast for the best part of his career in "The Canary Murder Case," which Paramount made as an all-taking picture, Oscar's stutter and his acting got laughs and he was rushed into the end of "Close Harmony," a 100 per cent dialogue musical play. That has not mean the closing of the one-student academy. Between picture roles, Oscar still shines shoes, and gets tips on acting—and for polishing—from the masters. "Stompy" Celestan at The Moulin Rouge "Stompy," who recently sprained his ankle and was forced to leave his job, is back amongst us. No sooner was it known that "Stompy" was O.

It is well that a man advertise not the good that he does; for by "broadcasting his own works he often reaps the contempt and scorn of his friends. If you can do good and great things—do them—do good just for the doing—seen or unseen—for it is not the ones who do their deeds and move on without waiting or even hoping for a reward that are overtaken by fame? On the other hand take the braggart—the fellow who loves show—he's always casing fame—and always will. It is the silent men who do things that reap A SUNRISE It seemed the night would never end. That day would never come again. Oh perilous has been the night And every heart longs for the light— Eager, tired eyes stretched the sky— One glance—oh Sun before we die! On either side the waters dark— Hades—black, creeping, brooding stark— Oh for a bit of friendly light. This void-like blackness numbs the sight— Ah look, the sky is paling there Tis day—an answer to our prayer! Tis day's bright herald in the skies, Take hear, take hope, we shall not die! Our good ship sank in the stormy night— We've lived an age to see the light— Tis day—how beautiful the skies, Night is o're—thank God— It is—SUNRISE! VERNON E. S.

Muma the parlor of the watches look and listen! We wonder what they are going to do now! IT HAS BEEN KUMORED that Mr. Walker's barber shop has been over flooded with customers lately. Just ask me the reason why. It seems Mr. Walker was not satisfied in having his shop remodeled with "modernistic" equipment; but he seems to believe in the fact fact that "a woman is a necessity" for he now has Mrs. C. Louise Stephenson of Los Angeles to assist him with hair-cuts, shaves—but is seems they all want a message. Now, I'd like to know the reason why! EVERYONE WAS SORRY to see the little Creeche dame from New Orleans leave for a return trip home after visiting "The Queen of the Beaches" for two months. However, a certain young shiek by the initials of C. M. caused Miss Ethea Romaine to assure us that she would return this summer. WHAT'S THIS I HEAR about a certain gentleman breaking up that "Love affair" of Miss Mary Jane White and William Hardy? Why Mr. M. you can't do that!

AFTER ALL IS SAID and done, Miss Gladys Fox and Mr. James Clarke were married last Monday evening, under a huge white bell at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. Fox. The house was beautifully recoated in roses, sweet peas and illies of the valley. One hundred guest were invited and Mrs. J. Clarke recieved an array of lovely presents. Now, we wish to congratulate the newly wedded couple and hope that they live happily ever after. The toast of the season: "To George Washington, the man who never told a lie." When Tadpole was asked to tell the story about the person "who never put out I washing," he told this story: "Once upon a time (they all start like that) a hen thought she would like to have two eggs, to give her mastress; and sure enough, she found two eggs. After a while, Mrs. Hen decided to go tell his mistress about these eggs. Which she did; but, on her return she found one of the eggs, and she exclaimed in an angry voice. Then, out jumped a little chick from the eggs and chirped (as chickies do). Mother I cannot tell a lie. I cracked that egg with my little hatchet. So the Chickie "was" named "Georse." Laugh or not. It's all the way you take it. Nevertheless, in on K. F. O. X. next Monday evening at seven strikes of the clock and listen to the "Battercream School House." Tadpole will be there with more laughs than will be good for your side. We are glad to see Mr. J. Baker up and around again after having been in the Seaside Hospital for a month.

Well, now it is Mr. Raymond Fagan who has joined those high-hatters in forsaking "The Queen of the Beaches" for higher society in the hills of Hollywood.

CARTER, CUSTODIAN OF FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH SPEAKS OUT We should look on the bright side of life, for a new Executive is about to take the chair within a few days. We for the present, must look back and thank the past president for his ability, for his Christianity, and for what he has done, not emphasizing his faults, but praising his accomplishments. I am speaking to the whole nation. I hope our next Executive will be similar to Lincoln who attempted to stamp out the evils of the days of 1861. I hope our Executive will likewise endeavor to reform the present confronting evils. 'No matter however hopeful, let us look for the good, let us up hold our leaders, and be supporters of the law. I have been employed at one place for over twenty years, and have endeavored during that time, to do the right thing; at all times manifesting self control. The results of such living has, given me friends, happiness, and prosperity. My one ambition is to do the biddings of my Master. We citizens of this great country, should not one, not some, but all. We should treat the colored man of America more friendly, for he is a faithful supporter of the American cause. You find him not a traitor to the flag but a staunch upholder of its principles. We should not knock the business man, but praise him and thank him for what he has done, for he is a vital contributor to the country's welfare. Speaking of the automobile industry, and Henry Ford, just think of the man who has been from his efforts. If we would praise such men as Henry Ford, our praise would spur them on to greater accomplishments. Gospel ministers should uphold more sincerely the religions standards. Ministers should be more united in stead or knocking one another. If the Churches would manifest more the Christ Life, sisters could be easily convinced that the Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am a citizen who has the country at heart. I am palmed when I see the land and my civilization. What I have said is merely an outer expression of my thoughts which no longer could keep concealed within. I wish the country the United States of America to maintain the leadership, acquired by sincerity of purpose, but I doubt if my wish will come true, unless we citizens living, our motives and principles. We must look on the right side of life, for that side inspires us, encourages us, and makes us what we rae. Sincerely yours Mr. JOHN H. CARTER CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 25.—By The Associated Negro Press), Dr. Russell S. Brown, pastor of the Mount Zion Congregational Church, was named as Thomas W. Fleming's successor, as counselman from the third district here Monday. Dr. Brown received the unanimous vote of the Republicans in the city council and the Democrats divided their votes between Dr. James A. Owens, who had the endorsement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Fred Klawson. The nomination of Dr. Brown to succeed Mr. Fleming who resigned after being convicted of soliciting and serve two years and nine months in accepting a bribe and sentenced to prison, was made by Councilman Herman H. Finkle, Republican floor leader, who described the minister as "a recognized leader in his community, a leader by the community, an educator and a present the people of his district". The nomination was seconded by Councilman E. J. Gregs, formerly a Democrat. In a statement to the Council, Dr. Brown pledged himself to use his best judgment in carring out the duties of Councilman and made it clear that at the present time it was his plan to remain in office just during the uprooted term to which he had been elected. It is probable, however, that at the expiration of that term that citizens might draft Dr. Brown as a candidate for relection. IMPORTANT POST According to a statement made by Mayor John D. Marshall, Dr. Brown, as successor to Fleming, will fall heir to Fleming's appointments on three or the standing committees, namely, the appropriation and finance, the police and fire, and the judiciary commit- "The Church of Christ Holiness" of the Western Diocese, Bishop Wm.

Dorsey To the Eagle Staff, those of you who have carried on in the absence of ex haust from the column of the Eagle, those of you who have see the need of a greater news paper in our community, a paper with an aim and purpose, those of you who in the absence or the Managing edittress, for two months from the journalless fireside caused by the grim reaper, I rededicate this weekly column to each and all from the "printers devil" to him whose mind directs the pen that gives to its weekly readers wisdom and thought ripend to a melow hue over years of contact with the world. And who are these that I'd select to be seated at the dedicatory ceremonies. Lets give the once over. There is to start with little Geo, Danielle the printer's devil, a better name never fitted a human being. Some day we hope Geo, will shake the devil and grape the pulp. He was here when we ceased this column and is still on the job. Keep trying.

When oil will stand heating to 435 degrees before it becomes ignited its considered "A1. Flash" goes it one better, its "AAT." Recently the N. A. A. C. P. held a banquet at the Somerville Hotel. Folks were asked to make reservations. Many failed to do so, but poured into the dining room, causing service to be demoralized and criticism to be unjustly heaped upon the head of our Mrs. Burdette. Many complained of the food served them, we do not know wither as to quality or amount but how may we help those who should learn to make reservations and the N. A. A. C. P. or any other body should not expect the impossible and force one to attempt to serve two hundred or more when but 125 had reservations so spake the man with the new Pice Arrow as he left in disgust. An attempt was recently made to remove Officer Coleman, who directs traffic at 9th and Central for faithfully preforming his duty. Naturally it failed. A few more such officers as him and Los Angeles Police department would be a credit to the city. Drive Home James. Speaking of Drug Stores, looks like L. A. is at present overpopulated. Central Avenue is particular. As we motored down the thorough fare we noted the following changes. Dr. Bowman and his Paige have deserved 9th and Central, and Pico and Central and taken up parking space at the Somerville. The Oakahoma Drug store at 18th and Central has the following sign displayed. Moved across the Street" We don't know either where the store is or whether it has swallowed Brooks Brothers but there is evidence that some swallowing has been done for there is only one where there was formerly two. Looks like the story of the Lamb and the Lion; laying down together. At Washington and Central things have really happened. A padlock graces the door and a heat typewritten sign informs the interested public that the business reposes in the hands of a receiver. We are extremely sorry. As we were motorairing our self with some friends yesterday, the party next to us remarked, "have you noticed the barber businessately?" says he, "it looks like its impossible to see other negro business on the Avenue for the barber business." "Yes," concurred the party, in the back seat, "tis true and another thing you know the propitor usto have the last chair and give his men the preference, now he occupies the first chair and his men take the leavings. Shaves useto be 15 and 20 cents and hair cuts 35 and 40 cents. You paid 25 and 50 and the barber got the change for tips, for shaves and 50 cents straight for hair cuts and his workmen looses his tip." "Poor fellow," chirped in the fourth fellow, "No wonder barbers are becoming automobile mechanics, because their former customers now own clippers and razors and the family does the work owing to the high cost." At this junction we closed into the Entertainers for dinner. In reading one of the weekly exchanges we noticed the following caption "The Eagles Eye" Thinking someone might have robbed our Eagle of one of its eyes we hurriedly motored down to the office and examined our bird to joyfully find instead of it being the California Eagle's eye it was a Texas Eagle's eye extracted from a Galveston bird. It's a long way from Los Angeles' Broadway to 5th Ave, New York. Most folks that make the trip generally can't stick but not so of the one and only Nosh D. Thompson. Los Angeles' loss is New York's gain. When one can stick on the pavement of 5th Avenue for two years without being shoved off, we must conclude he must have stepped in cement instead of sand which is so easily shifted. And now that matrimony has once again overtaken our friend we wish to inform him that when he returns to California to live a retired life as all successful Big-Ums do, to escape winters snow, ice and summers' heat and bask in our sublime climate surrounded by orange groves, beautiful paved big highways and friends that have no enemies, we hope to be able to direct himself and madam as they alight from their Pullman to the rear seat of a new Pierce or Lincoln instead of a Ford. Success to you! We had quite a chat with H. A. Reeves the other day and found him the same dynamic individual we met some years ago. He's still succeeding because unlike most of us he believes in building up a business with his money instead of buying automobiles. The First A. M. E. Zion Church presents piano pupils of Lilias G. Hart in Recital, Sunday evening, March 24. Admission FREE HISTORY OF THE BY: ARTIS N. WARD Of the Ward's School of Aviation (Continued from last issue) While writing about the safety of the Airplane, I have borrowed an article from the Aviation magazine, issue of, August 8, 1927. Subject: "Transportation Accidents," by Roy E. Russell, LL.B., A.M. "In all history\ there has never been a mode of transportation which has received the interest from the public that the airplane is today receiving. Every newspaper and periodical newspaper of in town, in the general topic of conversation concerns airplanes. Confidence in this youngest means of travel is constantly growing and this paper has been prepared in order to show the safety of commercial aircraft when compared to the older modes of transportation. "All modes of transportation have their casualties and the fact that during the World War the airplane was an instrument of destruction has caused it to be looked upon by the average person as a dangerous craft. The development of the commercial airplane since the Armistice has, however, taught us that it has a real duty to perform in our civilization. Lives have been sacrificed in the development of every mode of transportation, for we learn by experience, but we must not be misled by the casualties resulting from what we might term "feats." These may be done for the advancement or the science of aeronautics or for publicity and are attempted in planes which must necessarily be especially equipped, removing them from the class of tested and tried commercial planes. "In the year 1825 the automobile alone claimed 19,828 lives while the railroads were responsible for the loss of the lives of 171 passengers. There has been a gradual decline each year in the total number of deaths attributable to railroads and automobiles increase in the number killed due to the automobile. "Street car and electric lines are responsible for several hundred deaths each year. In 1923 this class of transportation caused 337 deaths and the following year this total amount was increased by one. "Marine accidents have been frequent and contributed to the already growing list of transportation casualties. One of the most notable in recent years was the Titanic disaster whose sinking caused the loss of hundreds of lives. "Each year more automobiles are produced, more railroad trackage is laid, faster trains are scheduled, more boats and larger steamships are constructed and larger and faster airplanes are built. "In the development of the airplane greater speed has been attained and attitudes reached than were dreamed of a few years ago. Man has conquered and it is only a matter of time until the airplane can take its place beside its ancestors in transportation. As a military instruments of importance the airplane has been in vogue for the last ten of fifteen years but as a commercial utility its life has been comparatively short. "There was no commercial air line of any not within the United States until the Summer of 1926. The Aeromarine Company previously operated in this country for a short time without serious accident but it did not function for long. "To get a true perspective of the comparison of the various methods of transportation and to draw conclusions it is advisable to divide this survey into four part: railroad; electric lines; automobiles; and the airplane. The data submitted here is the most authentic that can be obtained, having been collected after careful investigation. The United States Bureau or the Census, the Department of Commerce, the Interstate Commerce Commission, the National Automobile Chamber of commerce, and the United States Department of Labor have been the chief sources of statistics in this, country. Statistics on European air lines have been compiled from individual statements of the various operating companies, with the exception of the German lines whose figures were compiled from official reports. "As stated above, until the year 1926, there were no regular passenger air lines operating in this country and the period of their operations has been so short that they could not furnish data for comparison. It was necessary, therefore, to turn to those companies operating in foreign countries which have carried passengers over a period of years and whose figures might be considered authentic. There are many airlines operating in various parts of Europe and Asia that are known to have carried several thousand passengers in this study for the reason that it was impossible to get reliable statistics as to their passenger fatalities over a comparative period of time. Companies whose reports have been compiled here and which are known to be authentic are as follows: Danske Luffartselakab (The Air Line of Denmark) showing figures from 1921 to 1925, inclusive; from France we have three—Latecoeur Air Lines showing figures from 1919 to 1925, inclusive; Air Union with figures from 1919 to 1925, inclusive and Aeronavalle with figures from 1922 to 1924, inclusive; all the air lines of Great Britain, including the Imperial Airways, and which lines show, figures from 1919 to 1925, inclusive, all of the air lines in Hungary from 1920 to 1925 (A.R.B. Air Transport) during 1924 and 1925; and all lines in Switzerland from 1922 to 1925, inclusive. It will be noted that the companies here given are those having the most exten A Your Children will you give them a chance will you make their opportunities better than yours?

Since 1888, the United States Government has had compiled annually the accidents of the railroads, together with the number of casualties and injuries. So carefully has this work been done that a number or subdivisions have been made including a study of the number killed, with classification as to whether employees, trespassers or passengers. HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF DEATHS IN 1907 DEATHS IN 1930 It will be noted from the following table that the number of passengers carried on railroads, while fluctuating from year to year, shows a steady increase until 1920 when a peak was reached and the number still started which has remained almost unchanged since 1925. During the same period of time the number of passenger fatalities fluctuated from 610 to 130 in any one year.

RAMSEY, Pastor A wonderful spiritual meeting was held at the Friendship Baptist Church of South Los Angeles during the week of February 18 to 22. The different pastors and their churches attended every night. It was a success both spiritually and financially. We wish to show our appreciation to the different ministers and their congregation and at any time we can do any thing to help you in any way, we shall be glad to do so. There will be a musical under the auspecies of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. on the 2nd of March. We would appreciate it if every one who possibly could, would come and enjoy this great musical program. GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH REV. T. F. JONES, Pastor The Sunday School had the largest attendance for several weeks. Practically all teachers answered to the roll call. At the eleven o'clock service the Pastor spoke from the subject "The Christian Religion" Many expressed themselves as having enjoyed the services. There were several visitors present who were introduced to the congregation by the Pastor. At 5:30 the Junior Endeavor had a very splendid meeting and discussed the subject, "A Stay at Home Journey to Africa." Each had been asked in advance to read some story about the African people or give a description of the country and etc. The talks proved to be very interesting. Miss Bannahua meeting Miss Bannahua Houchins will lead the meeting. Miss Carlo Kander who is conducting the meetings in the Senior Endeavor, continues to hold the interest of the members and friends who attend the meeting. At the evening service the Pastor praised using as a subject "The Saints Everlasting Rest" : Two persons very baptised during the day. The Pastor will preach at both service next Sunday. Come and Worship with us you will receive a cordial welcome. MACEDONIA BARTIST CHURCH REV. L. M. CURTIS, Pastor Wonder services all day, with the beginning of a very splendid Sunday School, with visitors present which gave addresses and was very favorably impressed with our Sunday School. The lesson, and all was very inspiring. The 11 o'clock services were conducted by the Pastor, after which he proached a wonderful sermon, using for his Text "Come Unto Me All Ye That Are Weary and Heavy Laden, and Give Up our Rest." The auditorium packed to its capacity, and there were many standing rendering some a little uncomfortable, yet the eager congregation listened with intense interest to this wonderful sermon. At the close of the sermon two came forward for admission, which we gladly received them into our fold. There were many visitors present and made remarks. Among our visitors were Dr. and Mrs. King, new residents to our city. The B. Y. P. U. had a very likely meeting, closing with singing services, accompanied on the piano by Miss Clarressa Taylor, Mr. Coppney is making new plans later, and all are asked to assist him in the efforts he puts forth. We are in our services again at 7:30 with visitors ministers present. The regular meetings of the church will be governed directly by our weekly church calendar. SOCIALS Mrs. Etta E. Perkins has returned to her home after 5 weeks stay in Chicago. Her uncle has improved much but is confined in the home of Mrs. Perkins. The family will be glad to welcome friends in to see him.

Dr. Bledsoe is a Practicing Physician in South Los Angeles and enjoys a large patronage. Dr. King is recently from Atlanta, Ga. and has established offices on Compton Avenue.

As a part of its community service campaign the Council arranged this meeting for the benefit of the public. Every Negro who is interested in improving the health of the Community should attend this meeting. Musical numbers will be furnished by the young people. A large crowd is expected.

Mrs. Fields who lived on East 111 Place died recently after an illness of nearly two years. She was buried last Friday, February 22nd. Funeral was held at the Adventist Church. The newphew of Mr. Henry Johnson from Georgia who recently came to Los Angeles was resentful in finding work immediately on his arrival and expects to make this his home.

Mayor Cryer who has been thrice elected is expected to come forth very soon with his announcement for re-election. He is Sacramento, the iniquitous and an American Bar Association seems to be going strong. It has engineered a favorable report on the impeachment of Judge Hardy. There was one member on the Committee from Stockton however who refused to take the program and could not join in with the recommendation. Much praise is due him for there was notone chittilla of evidence that Judge Hardy acted as legal advisor for Angela Temple and cannot conceive that she will muster a 'two third vote' to that effect. Of course chairman Littles and his cohorts will receive a little more of the spot light in the role of managers or the impeachment trial—that's all.

Upper- Cuts & Blocks By— HARRY LEVETTE OCCASIONAL FACTS SHOULDN'T HURT WHAT A HOLY HOWL goes up when "Yours. Truly timidly happens to miss praising some of the athletes or others in the public eye, and for their own good softly mentions a few of their short-comings!—What's the idea? Do you want a constant diet of "apple sauce?" When Sports Writers ballyhoo you, they don't mean all of it. Only trying to get you to be as great as they say you are. The public knows if you are right or not—Can't kid them always. So sometimes they want to know the truth. Don't yell, rave, threaten, or shed salty tears over it; just try to do better. DIDJA notice the new position of the Sports Section? How do you like that? Well it stays! Need the space for the ads, without which no paper can live. Besides scribes are overworked, cusses and relish a lessening of their labors. NOT TO SAY Sports are not important. To the contrary, the great Mark Kelly writing in the Sunday's Examiner, claims that the Sports Department stimulates so much interest, that the largest dailies and weeklies are devoting 60% of their space to this ever growing department. Perhaps our western race readers have not advanced to the need for news in the world of sports. Mr. Kelly says in part: "Since the World War the sporting section has grown tremendously. The Editor and Publisher has computed that the New York World devotes 40 per cent of its local news on weekdays to sports and that the Herald Tribune gives over no less than 60 per cent. All large city newspapers now surender four of its pages to sports news on weekdays and eight and even ten pages on Sunday. IT WOULD be interesting to know just what our readers think of Sports.

N. P.) Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo. Feb. 27—Jack Thompson won the decision over 'Gentleman' Ham Jenkins Monday night. In Jenkins' defeat there was no disgrace. Realizing that he had everything to win and nothing to lose, he maded in at the opening stanza and exchanged blow for blow until the last bell sounded. Coming out fresh for the seventh stanza, Jenkins battled his way to an even break, losing the eighth by a slight margin. The ninth and tenth was a toss-up; Thompson trying hard for a knockout, and Jenkins just as determined to stay. Jenkins made a distinct hit with the fight fans and proved that he is to be reckoned with in the welterweight division. He is a good two-handed fighter, clever, and game to the core. HARRY BUBBER JOHNSON is training hard at the Main Street Gym every day. Mexican Jack Dempsey thought Harry would be too small to train with him, but soon found out he was the hardest hitting middleweight he had ever met. MUSHIY CALLLAHAN asks all his Central Avenue friends to follow him to his next fight. VI. ALEXANDER took a match with Erne Owens on short notice as substitute for Hoffman at Stockton last week. Owens won. "Young 'Joe Jeneatte' (Connie Fambo) is back in shape again after a spell, of sickness brought on by his work in "Four Feathers." He is ready for the best at his weight. A big boxing benefit is to be held in San Francisco by promoters and boxers for Rev. Leslie Kelly "the boxing chaplain's church. It has a $3,000 mortgage on it which they intend to lift. Rev. Kelly toured the state last summer and help to save boxing, then on the November election ballot. CHARLEY LONG has become a big card at Morrie Cahan's Pasadena Arena. He has been promised a bout with Joe Cordoza. JOE WILLIAMS who is still trying is training at the Main Street Gym. Joe is a good prospect and plenty game. SAMMY JACKSON who lost to Joe Reinhardt two weeks ago would like another chance at him. Rematches are not always so good. A fighter who wins usually has the other guy's number when they meet again. ERNEST BENDY now weighing 210 has been signed for 15 years to Wirt Ross. VERNON JACKSON is not looking the great prospect he did a year and a half ago. Close attention may bring him back to his former self and careful living will keep him fit. Colored Youth Stars In Track Meet (By: A. N. P.)

Has Three Of West's Best Heavies In The Sanie Stable Los Angeles, Calif., Feb. 26.—To have three of the beat big fighters on the Pacific Coast in the same stable is the fortune of Prof. Watson Burns, famous cue expert and manager of famous boxers. They are Mack House, famous king of over 50 one round knock-out victories, known as the 'California Bear," and weighing 190 lbs.; Willie Henry, the Texas Steer, weighing 171 lbs.; and Sailor Larry, weighing 140 lbs. All three hold wins over some of the best fighters in the country but find it hard at the present time to get matches.

Jessica's record is 15 feet 2-2-8 inches. ```markdown ``` After remaining out of the arena of actual battling for more than a year, Sailor Larry Stead has started a comeback that his manager Watson Burns, figures will bring him shortly to a match with Bert Colima, Johnny Gill or any of the other heavy middle-weight top-notchers. A few years ago Larry, called the "Sailor," because of his former navy service, was one of the best and most successful of the coast, meeting all the best bots in the world usually winning in a few rounds. His speed and cleverness, Franklin's manhand an usual as soon as he is ready. Arena Soon Los Angeles, Calif., Feb. 26—"Young Franklin who battles like a 'Jungle man' and 'Jungle woman' in land papers, is to be seen in action soon at Morrie Cohan's Pasadena arena." Morrie, who is always on the lookout for good prospects, has tentatively matched Franklin for several bouts. Although formerly amateur light heavyweight champion of California, he has only fought a few times in local arenas, his best recent one being against "Wild Bill" Cox, at Pasadena, which set the fans wild and showed not only his gameness but his speed and cleverness. Franklin's manager is La Man, De Lavillade.
