1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1929 VOLUME 42 LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1929 No. 40 DECISION IN BATES CASE AROUSES CITIZENS IN DEMAND FOR JUSTICE The rank and gross brutality by Los Angeles police officers which caused the death of J. H. Bates, is not by any means forgotten; and justice seems about to assent' itself. The Los Angeles Daily Press and citizens generally, are demanding that something must be done about it. Yester day a resolution was introduced in the City Council by President Bonelli, asking for the discharge of these policemen and it is reported the incoming grand jury will be asked by District Attorney Flits to investigate the case for possible indictments. Scoring the city attorney for defending the five policemen found guilty of assaulting James Bates, colored deputy sheriff, and causing his death, President William Bonelli of the city council today introduced a resolution asking for the dismissal of the officers from the city's police force. "In the after meeting it loomed up as though Cole Salling, Broadway property owner, would be selected as president, with Mr. Oram of 47tn St. Branch L. A. First National Bank as treasurer and secretary, which would certainly add great strength to this new organization The resolution was referred to the police and fire committee of council. In June, 1925, a judgment was rendered against William Jolins, James Jester, J. K. Caris, G. E. Rupers and Louis Finesilver, for damages as a result of their assault. The court characterized their "action as "unwarranted, inexcusable and cowardly." Watch for the next meeting, Monday, March 4, 7 P. M., at Rhodes Hall, 5428 South Broadway. Bring your neighbor. Keep the White Spot—WHITE." The next meeting was held Monday evening, March 4th, the date that the new president took his seat as captain of the 'Ship of State,' at the same hall, and it is stated that several hundred were present. The supreme court of California confirmed the judgment, and the city attorney represented the offence against them. Ronelli charges. The business of the evening was the making of a nent organization. Membership cards which read: As a result of public opinion, aroused over the fact that the police were defended and kept on the force after Bates died from the beating Bonelli has offered his resolution as the only amends the city can make. "I desire to become a member of the above named Association and hand you herewith One ($1.00) Dollar. I agree to do everything within my legal power to help the Association keep our district for the use of white people. In his resolution, the council president instructs the city attorney's office to refrain from aiding police in litigation brought on by their personal actions. In denouncing authorities for allowing the five convicted officers to be defended by the city's legal machinery, the resolution sets forth that there is no record that the consent of city council was ever given for their defense. Among those present were Cole Sally, a politician about the town, and Councilman Lewis, who, no doubt, very soon will be wining and dining with the other than whites in the Furlong Tract district telling them why they should vote for him in the coming election. Physician Sues Insurance Company Mr. Lewis signed up one of these cards, thus voicing his sentiment in favor of such an organization. Mr. Cole Sally was one of the chief speakers of the evening, but this, no doubt, would not cause Mr. Sally any embarrassment when the time is ripe for him to come sallying down in the colored section with his political basket picking up votes for some candidates to whom he has religiously pledged his support for a good sum. New Orleans, La., Feb.—(By the Associated Negro Press, Dr. Samuel C. Green, brought suit in the civil district court of Saturday to recover $25,000 in damages from the Louisiana Industrial Life Insurance Company for alleged slanderous statements made by agents and solicitors of the defendant company. The physician charges that the agents have systematically slandered him to various policyholders. Dr. Green says the remarks have damaged his professional reputation and caused him financial loss. As an educational experiment the White American with as much brains as an English Sparrow realizes that the Black man has surpassed his most sanguine expectations. If he has studied just a little bit of history and geography he knows that the color of the skin is due to conditions of climate and does not in any way effect either the moral, spiritual or intellectual parts of men. Keep Our District Clean If these people had formed some organization for the purpose of keeping the district morally clean, there would be no doubt as to their intent of purpose, but this proposition of color prejudice is but the fruit of ignorance and should be frowned upon by both intelligent White and Colored groups. What They Greatly Desire The clean cultured Colored people who have encrouched in their program of progress education and wealth demand that they be permitted to spend their money in a way that will secure for them health and happiness. SPECIAL N. A. A. C. P. ANOUNCEMENT The executive committee in order to co-operate witi the Pullman Forters labor movement has changed the meeting from Sunday March 10th to Sunday March 11th. The insurance day and the program will be in charge of the Golden State Insurance Company. Important announcement next week in reference to the anniversary campaign. Now if any little cheap class of any color or nationality most of whom have contributed less to the safety and prosperity of this country than those whom they seek to segregate, think they can successfully, not with cash, but with some sort or diseased sentiment, put over such programs, they are sadly mistaken. This very intensely interesting meeting will be a fitting climax to the cellar experience and assurance Week. A very onestake and forthwhile program will be presented. In keeping with a gigantic program to segregate those citizens of the city who are not whit the following meeting was called: THE "Last Monday night nearly three hundred determined property owners in this district turned out to the special meeting held at Rhodes Hall under the auspices of the Broadway Business Association for the purpose of renewing race restrictions where it was necessary. "Harry Burke was temporary chairman and the matter was discussed and explained by several who were more or less acquainted with the details. Attorney Allison was temporarily retained until plans could be arranged for his permanent connection. A popular subscription of over forty-five dollars was collected to do preliminary work. "A motion was made to organize an Association to fight the approaching menace and a special meeting was arranged for the evening of March 4th at the same place at 7:00 P. M., at which time officers will be selected and working committees appointed. "Mr. Property Owner, if you did not attend this meeting you missed a very vital subject—one that will effect your property to the extreme and you should make every human effort to attend the next." The funeral services of Mrs. Cinthia Claybrone, who passed away on last Thursday, were held at the First A. M. E. Church on last Tuesday morning. Many were the friends that gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased, and members of the stricken family. Many "so in glowing terms of her sterling qualities and the useful life she had led. The services were in charge of Dr. J. H. Wilson, editor of "The Western Christian Recorder", who, in eloquent and well chosen words drew a glowing picture of the useful life she had lived in the community and the part she had played in the various organizations to which she belonged. She was a product of Pomona schools, from which she graduated with highest honors in June, 1905, under her maiden name' of Cynthia Thomas; and is the last of the Thomas family whose name was early connected with Pomona and its progressive history, her father having conducted a prosperous business for a number of years prior to his passing in 1911. Mrs. Craybrone, who was 42 years old, leaves to moura her loss a devoted husband, an aunt in the person of Mrs. Emma Adams of Okmulgue, Oklahoma, who attended the funeral, and a host of other relatives, and friends. The floral offerings were beautiful Where Ignorance is Bliss 'Tis Folly To Be Wise Bluefield Kappas Plan Alumni Chapter BLUEFIELD, W. Va.—Plans for organizing an alumni chapter of the national fraternity of Kappa Alpha Psi here, were definitely formulated when the fraternity of Bluefield and surrounding towns met recently at a smoker at the local offices of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. Following the business of the meeting, a typical "Kappa Feast" was spread, and rousing speeches and good fellowship were enjoyed until an early house. The following were present: Dr. W. M. Wrickt, C. B. Moore, Delbert M. Philferman, Dewey Trigg, J. L. Sullivan, Howard C. Abbot, Leon Jackson, P. G. Jefferson, J. S. Saundle, D. W. Wilson, Le Roy S.

Stewart, Ulysses Carter, Carl Helen We are informed that a "California Eagle" was the only paper used for record purposes on last Monday evening. We hope that Mr. Sally will read another book. We hope that Mr. Sally will read another decision in this issue to the white Plague at the next meeting. / The Second Baptist Church, 24th street and Griffith avenue will be the occasion of another big Mass Meeting, Sunday, March the 10th at :30 P.

The Committee announces that these meetings are all free and everyone interested in the Problems of Negro Labor is invited to attend. Missouri Legislators Fight Jim Crow Laws (By The Associated Negro Press) Jennison City, Mo. March 7—Waltah Mr. Moore, of St. Louis, member of the Missouri Legislature, vigorously protested against so-called improvement bills sponsored by the St. Louis County League of Municipalities engrossed in the legislature, Friday. One measure, empowering the county court court to appoint a planning compulsion to make plots of St. Louis County, regulate sub-division and highway development and draft zoning regulations, was an attempt at Rade segregation and would, if adopted, prevent Negroes fbuild on properties 'they own now, declared Representative Moore. There are several thousand Negroes in St. Louis County, most of them in South Kirkwood and the South Kinlock Pard district. "Such is bill." Moore said, "comes with poor grace. from any member of this house, and with especially poor grace from a Republican member. Representative Allen' of our group, recently elected member from St. Louis, pleaded against the measure, because, he said it was an attempt at racial legislation. Representatives Heege and Elvins, white, of St. Louis County, sponsors of the bill, enlisted racial segregation is contemplated and called attention to the United States Supreme Court decisions which have held segregation ordinances unconstitutional. The Companion bills, providing for the creating of commissions by municipalities to work out zoning regulations in the towns and provide for their future growth and authorizing city and county planning commissions to regulate the types of buildings to be erected in the various zones were engrossed without objection. Mr. Paul M. Nash, counsellor was assisted by the former Judge W. H. Thomas, the former Judge O. W. Thomas, the case, Judge Joseph Owens, the case, Lillie B. Smith, while the plaintiff sought to dispose the defendants of their home, by means of a contract entered into by persons calling themselves property owners in the West Adams and Western Avenue tracts. The plaintiff failed utterly to establish a case due to the weakness or the illegal contract: 170 names were attached to the instruments. Mr. Nash and his colleague required the plaintiff to produce the legal records of the purported property owners. A great many discrepancies were found in their records and by the time Mr. Nash got through with that contract, there were considerably less than 100 names, 140 names being the number required to make it legal and it was brought out by testimony that the defendants knew nothing of the restrictions. Their contract and the escrow reports showed none, proving the plaintiff record was made after the Smith had purchased their property — all sorts of tactics were introduced into the case but Mr. Nash blocked all their efforts. Judge Blake was very patient and just, giving each side every advantage and vainly did the plaintiff's attorney try by reading all kinds of law to establish his case to no avail. Our attorney proved it had no bearing on the case. We were proud of Mr. Nash so calm and serene, never losing his temper through he had good cause so to do. The trial was well attended by interested friends of our group and a few of the other race also. This is the first real favorable decision given in these seagrass cases and we are peal as they failed to establish a case, sure there will be no attempt to ap. We congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Carey Smith who fought so manfully for their rights as Mrs. Smith said they would spend their last dollar to obtain their home and preserve their rights and make it easier for the rest of the cases that are to follow. While the case cost a great deal, Mr. and Mrs. Smith feel well repaid for its final termination. TWO INTERESTED CITIZENS Business and Professional Men Banquet John L. Webb The big dining hall at the Somerville hotel was the scene of great activity on last Thursday evening, when the Business and Professional Men headed by Dr. G. W. Watkins gathered for the purpose of honoring the Hon. John L. Webb, prominent business man of Hot Springs, Ark, who is spending a few weeks in Southern California on a business and rest mission. Speeches of three minutes duration was the order of the evening and indeed many advanced ideas along the line of advancement for the race were being presented. Finally the editor of this paper, J. B. Bass was called upon to introduce the Mr. insulted guest, which he did in words which could be understood and the crowd received Mr. Webb with thunderous applause. His response was indeed appreciated to the utmost and Mr. Webb firmly entrenched himself on the minds and into the hearts of his hearers. A most elegant and tempting five-course dinner was served and Los Angeles surely rendered unto one of the outstanding figures of America a right royal reception. The time, place and hall is at the Masonic Hall, 50th and Central Ave. Easter Monday with the Merry Wid SOME MONTHS ago the author of this column was severely criticised for departing from the traditional routine politically to the extent of refusing to support the Republican nominee for the presidency. WHILE OUR Nationality is American, our race Black, Religious denominational affiliation Baptist, and our Political creed Republican, we reserve and cherish as our inalienable right the privilege of thinking for ourselves. HENCE in affairs political, we adduce the cause of men and issues in a whom we believe, and, if at any time we should make a mistake in our selection, we strive always, to use that instance as a stepping stone to greater perfection in our process of reasoning. AS AN American, our hope is to forever preserve the Union. As a Christian spread Christianity to all ends or the Earth. As a Political stand for clean government. And as a member of the Black group of America, fight for equal rights for our race. Hence at any time should we deem it necessary to reach out beyond the ranks of our political party to advocate the cause of an individual or issue we believe would stand for the enforcement of the law for all people alike we would consider the same not only our inalienable right, but that we were serving the race with which our leisure is linked and which we love as our own kith and kin. OVER the great net-work of wires stretching across the continent, the new President's inaugural speech was eagerly received in California and his fellow statesmen seemed to be pleased with the message. President Hoover strongly argued in favor of the 18th Amendment, but breathed, no hoped for word concerning those badly bruised amendments, viz., the 15th, 14th, and 15th. FROM NEW YORK to California Negro politicians are speculating as to who shall be appointed from the group to a cherished position once held by Negroes. California has two splendid men on the plate—Hon. Frederick M. Roberts of Los Angeles and Benjamin Ingraham of San Bernardino. Now, as far as we are concerned we would like to see one of these men placed. But we wish to state here and now, that in all our getting we would like to get hold of a President fearless to the extent that he would speak out against lynch law and mob violence in the United States. And so as a right of emergence, we shall advocate the cause of men we believe Christian enough to attempt to stand for civic as well as religious freedom for all Americans. IN ORDER to wreck a structure, the wrecking crew does not start on the pinnacle of the building, but the foundation. IF AMERICA would check the great crime wave that is sweeping this continent at this time, it must go after the cause and not the effect. A PHILIP RANDOLPH no doubt will bring Los Angeles a message of hope for better conditions in the industrial world for the Black worker. IN ORDER to sleep well and hence enjoy good health we strive to eat and exercise properly hence in order to function properly, mentally, we should feed our minds with mental food which we get through the medium of proper reading. WHY SO MUCH halaboo about keeping certain neighborhoods white is an insigna to us—What Los Angeles needs is a thorough house cleaning from Hollywood to Watts, Induce people for live white lives—not white with regards to skin, but morals, and then you will be doing something. COUNCILMEN and other city officials are meeting and collecting funds to launch a campaign to keep, as they say, certain neighborhoods white while still allowing black girls are becoming daily victims of the deadly drug—DOPE—which is a blot on America's civilization and such practices are common only to the United States. To our mind the only way to preserve the honor of American womanhood is to make a tireless campaign against vice and corruption before they eat the heart out of our boasted American civilization. ```markdown ``` DON'T GIVE three whoops whether those who read it like everything said or not but somewhere in the Bible there reads, "The guilty feeth when THE BREED among us now are the fawning, bowing, scraping, lying, double crossing kind. Once upon a time it was necessary to stand backhand in the presence of white men; to grin and smirk like a puppy dog begging a bone. Modern white men of business and intelligence do not want that. They frequently remark against such actions, and wonder why some Negroes persist in it. To the contrary, all they expect is the same kind of courtesy and politeness that they customarily show in their dealings with all races. YET RIGHT in this village members of our race who are dabbling in the pugilistic, or theatrical world, have informed prospective advertisers, that there is "no need to use the colored papers, they don't matter, besides the colored folks all read the daftens anyhow." That's color complex to the udi degree; and this false information has prevented a great deal or advertising of public events from reaching the Negro Press. Yet this same "Uncle Tom" grabs the colored paper to see if there is anything in it about his new house, new jih, new lab or new suit his latest carter or other of his private affairs that even in white weekly could not and would not waste space to print. JACKIE FIELDS, according to our respected friend, Sol Butler, or the Chicago Bee, whipped both Gans and Thompson because he takes better care of himself. Undoubtedly Sol does not know of Gans' personal habits. Gans is a clean liver, gets his rest, drinks only a little light wine occasionally and does not chase around. He lost because he was buttwisted and had a bad hand, while Gans tooth and a bad hand, while Butler weighed equally with or buttwisted Fields, yet was fortably boaten and both eyes closed when they met. We have a few other clean livers, also, among whom are John Lester Johnson, Ernest Bendy and Sailor Larry. Willie Henry used to be, we haven't investigated lately. But Fields really takes care of himself and his manager Gig Booney is proud of him for his careful clean manner of living. There are two reasons why our colored mats do not in large numbers attend the track and field events, batting matches, etc. where colored are competing with the whites and where they are getting the big chance. It is their fault and the promoter fault. There is a lot of unobblessness left in the makeup or our skill developing races that becomes a bad to follow one of our race andudiess become famous, we do; as if not, we are anconcerned and and other less beneficial and less realisable things in do. Those promoting or in charge of these mixed albaia should take special care in advertising in the placed public with and other less beneficial and less realisable things in do. Actually, the word "albaia" is not a common word in English. It might be "albaia" or something else. But the context is about promoting or managing mixed albaia. With a game last Saturday that netted Watson or Pornice's All-Stars a 7 to 4 win over Glass in a pitching duel, and with the Cleveland Giants taking one, and dropping one, on Sunday, the three game series, played between these two teams brought to a close one of the greatest seasons of Winter League Baseball in California. Placing Brewer, crack young K. C. Monarch hurler on the mound against Thomas, "Bullet" Rogan led his team to a 10 to 3 victory in Sunday's first game of a doubleheader. Pick's home run in the first being all that saved his team from a shutout. Pirone made many substitutions, but all to no avail, batting first for Murray, third baseman then replacing him with Dunn. He pulled Catina for Johnson and took out his pitcher Thomas and put in Yelle, but still could not stave off defeat. Stearns starred with four hits and four runs in five times up and Mackey made a home-run Beckwith. Ggeen and Rogan tallied one each and Dixon made two. In all they made 16 hits to the All-Stars 4. **GREEN A HERO** The All-Star got revenge in the second game with a 4 to 3 win, Pallas won the game. The little Los Angeles right field became such a hero by this time that every time he came to bat he got a big hand. The boys are leaving this week—Dixon, Mackey, Gardner, Carr, and Cade goof with Pulson to Honolulu; Captain, captain of the Monarchs and Brewer, pitcher, going back home. The rest of the boys return to their respective teams for the regular summer season. 1. The image contains a black background with no visible text or graphics. Star big league catcher and Angelolo.

The following reinstatements were also announced: Leonard A.

New Orleans Horse Wins Tin Juana Derby Nalshapur, one of three favorites, came from tenth place to defeat 9-tear, with Mann up. The time for the mile and an eighth was 1:51. The victory brought $81,700 to Guy The efficiency and worth of the volunteer deputy system as an aid to the regular fish and game patrol force was proven recently when Cap, Harold Ebreisel and Debert Scott of Crammel, in Humboldt County, apprehended Jerry Oscar and W. I. McCullough and arrested them for killing and possessing a deer during the closed season. Oscar entered a plea of guilty and was fined $100. McCullough demanded a trial, and he will be given a hearing at an early date. TIRED RUNNING FOR NOTHING DON'T BLAME YOU RAY! Leaving the offices of the A. A. U. after being cleared of charges of falling to appear for the New York A. C. games, Barbari told a group of newspaperman that he was tired of running for nothing and allowing truck officials to line their pockets with money. "If they'll support me like 'I want to live,' he said, 'I'll run for them the rest of my life, but I'm not going to run and jet them take all the money." New York. Feb. 3.—A most sensational basketball game was played between the New York Y. W. C. A. and the Defenders girls. At half time the Defenders led, 17 to 10, with a half minute to the Y. W. C. A. rather field goal, which brought the final score to 22 to 2. The refusal of the V. W. C. A. team to play the tie off gives the decision to the Defenders. WITH SKIRTS FOR FREE Last year with Wrigley paying the admissions of women out of his own pocket to all games, the attendance advanced to 71,123 and the paid attendance of men and boys reached 263,000. Try that next winter, Joe Pirrone! "Tl Fim 'Im" Swears Mexican Jack Dempsey When a fighter loses by a one-round technical knock-out then gets a return match the following week it is a sign he must have shown something in the stigr, battle to merit him another chance. This was awarded Mexican Jack Denpsey, champion lightheavy of Mexico and he sweats to get revenge and prove he deserved a rematch. Cowboy Leonard Smith, Oklahoma 170-pounder, will attempt to prove that his last Saturday night's one-round victory over Mexican Jack Dempsey was no fluke when he faces the big Mexican in a return battle at the Main Street Athletic club next Saturday night. Referee Billy Darley stopped the bout in the first round, much to the dissatisfaction of Dempsey and his followers. There were no knockdowns and the round had only 14 seconds to go. Pipa Fuentes scored a close win over Johnny Blair, Utica welterweight in the semi-winup. OVER AT MORRIE COHAN'S PASADENA—Jose Peregrina vs. Charley Long, 14 rounds, Honny Marks vs. Prisco Landa, 6 rounds. FIGHT RESULTS LAST WEEK Joe Woods and Jack Haywood fought 10 rounds to a draw in the main event at Pasadena, Thursday. George Tremblik stopped Andy Dumler in the second round. Ed Burbrow kayed Christ Robbins in the second. What the Skies Foretell For The Olympic The Collma-Walker title bout is considered pretty well made for Los Angeles, but Walker and Jack Kearns withhold final sanction until after the Tommy Longshran bout in Chicago, March 28. Ace Hudkins has started training and has asked for an Olympic late soon. The promoters fired a cable to Billy McCarney in Paris to open negotiations with Emil (Spider) Fisdner, European dayweight champion, to box on the Pacific Coast. Another match being considered would send Tom Hiemay to Andreas Ilan, who fled to the life King Wim Willem, his heaviest stallion, and Armand Bemhulb together. George Gudfrey is also being engaged for to meet Cliby, Best Cat Wright or some one. Jack Dempsey, wired an offer to Kid Chocolate to fight for the bantamweight title and his saups, therefore, it may be that he has taken the miracle of Miami as a token of his gonies as a promoter and is conducting himself accordingly. He has also signed Godfrey to some mysterious agreement. FUGAZY SIGNS GODFREY TOO Humbert Fugazy, the fight promoter, went down to Florida a-fishing for Jack Dempsey and came up with George Godfrey instead. Fugazy has obtained first call upon the Negro heavyweight's services for the coming outdoor boxing season. Stasiask Rated Roughest Mat Man Stasiak's ability, with the many holds, known to catch-as-catch-can wrestle, is known to all close followers of the game. He has no special flashing gin, although he has about a half dozen favorites. He won the title of world's roughest wrestler a little more than a year ago when he put Ed "Strangler" Lewis to sleep with a poke to the chin.

KING When the semi-windy boys duck down or are carried down into the hole under the Olympic ring hag Tuesday night, just about the "jipingest" storm of leather will start whirling that has been witnessed in the great "House of Epics" for several moons. This Flastic Feast: that chef "Wad" Wadhams has cooked up for the patrician palettes of the Tuesday night, is sure to bring out about nineteenth of the Filipino population, about the same ratio of the Italian colony, and likewise a fair number of Afro-Americans, for they always feel somewhat of kindred to the little brown fighters of a foreign tongue. Nationalista look like a sure aboot to win and his enthusiastic manager, Johnny Sampson, believes his star will stop Mastope in spite of him being such a dangerous little speed-demon. But it is the punch that counts when both men are speedy so here is where Nationalista has the edge. He has demonstrated in the majority of his bouts that he has the sleep wallpap evidenced in his K. O. of Piela and other good ring generals. "Old Folks Willamere" who trains and conditions Nationalista for all his bouts has worked him back into such shape at the Main Street Gym that it has been almost impossible to get anyone to work out with him. He is a splendid shape for this first bout since he was forced to go to Marielle Springs for recovery from a boat with "Kid". Him. Following this bout his busy director has a number of other scrap tied up here, at Prisco and is the East.

DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER BUREAU OF POWER AND LIGHT CITY OF LOS ANGELES Friday, March 8, 1929 The Spo By As we go to press Ben Steffler the only promoter to make a successful go of the boxing game in San Bernardino opens up his new arena, that seats 3000. Steffler gave the San Berdoo fans such a brand of bouts that he could not get around a new and larger little house. As the opening card Ben offers Johnny Adkins and Clarence Dilwale; if the main event and Joey Valvarde and the named opponent in the semi-finals. Bert Colima, Ace Hudkins, Jim Jeffries and many other famous men in the flatic world are to appear as an added attraction. San Bernardino will be able to get a peek at some of the best boys in the game now that she has a new show house. BABY SAL SORIA On March 14th Baby Sal the new Mexican sensation goes to the post against some boxer yet to be selected for Steffer. Sal is the hottest fighter on the coast now, and he will pack them in at his home town and no jess. The Babe is ready for the big money if his manager takes him just right and does not rush him as he did before when he had him on the top with the other top-notchers. Jimmy is slated to go ten rounds or less on the 21st with Jimmy Pelia, the boy that holds a K. O. over Sal at the same arena. Black as stated before is one of the best boys on the coast at 120 and 123 pounds, but is not getting the shots that a boy of his ability should get. Jimmy formerly fought at 120 exclusively but it is getting to be a hard proposition for the kid to make it, and he told the writer that his next fight would be at 123 or maybe a pound heavier. Black was as fast as lightning at the lighter weight, and we have been wondering if the new weight will slow him down any. Jimmy will move to the conclusion that he couldn't make it 123 when his fight with Trip Limpeo. On the night the fight with Trip, Black had to take five pounds or there wouldn't have been any fight. He beat him, but couldn't put him to sleep because of his weakened condition which resulted from taking 'off so much weight at a minutes notice. If Black gets over Pelia, which he surely will, he should get a tumble from the big House on Grand Ave, because it isn't everybody in the country that is beating Pelia.

With the final performance of "Irene", that tuneful musical comedy treat, which on Sunday night, the Famous Lafayette Players will again return to drama with a brilliant production of "The Fallen Sister". The Famous Lafayette Players will again Theater on Monday night, March 11th, and promises to be a veritable thunderbolt of surprises and dramatic suspense. "The Fallen Sister" is one of the greatest dramatic vehicles of the American stage. It's plot is a forceful and powerful one, dealing with the "come back" of a Rerry character of the stems. Evelyn Freer is to have the title role, appearing in "The Fallen Sister" as "Houston Street Moll", a beautiful but slovenly and sly girl of the streets. "Moll" had never known the real meaning of happiness. She was participated in every street fight of any size and had a reputation for drunkenness and delinness also. Then one day "Miss Thompson", a settlement worker, opens a mission in the slum, and life is suddenly changed for "Houston Street Moll". At first the girl, on being brought into the mission following a street brawl, scorns the offers of Miss Thompson who pleads with her to make the mission her home and give up the life of the streets. Does "Moll" finally succumb and try to follow, the "straight path". Only by witnessing "The Fallen Sister" can you get the real answer to this question. There is romance, too, in "The Fallen Sister"—a romance that is as sweet and sheerce as any that might blossom amid grettier surroundings than those to which "Moll" was accustomed. Edward Thompson is seen in the principal male role, playing "Moll" the bartender for whom "Moll" finally "falls" after a life-time of hatred for man. Lawrence Criner has another of his famous villainous roles in "The Fallen Sister," playing a sociia climber who prefers to be a villain.

Mr. Mosby has a tentative contract with the Warner Bros. Studio to play music scores for one or more at Al Jolson's Vitalphone hits.

Last Saturday and Sunday nites the house was packed and several people had to stand because they failed to get reservations prior to arrival. Good order always prevails at the Apex and because of the increased popularity of his Fairyland, M. Mosby has added to his group of special officers.

TRUE QUOTATIONS GENIUS must be born and never can be taught. —DRYEN Genius is not a thing that is within man's reach to make or create on his own impulse. His thoughts and ideals —his inventions and deeds, all spring from that hidden fountain that was born with him. Those who have become great have always shown some sign of their gift in childhood and youthful days. They were often marked out as the queer ones of the family and group—they had their own little ways. Perhaps it was the Great Devine's own process of training men for the things that latter men for them the honor and respect of men. No man has ever been to be a genius in anything, his natural growth has developed that. No man teaches it. If a man be a genius no matter what conditions of life that surround him, he will be a marked man: among his fellows—he will climb and attain, what to others, seems to be the impossible. Every man is not born a genius. —'tis well—for if that were so; what a chaos this world would be. It is God's plan that these men be few; to teach and lead the many.

Mrs. Glenn proved herself an ideal hostess "You're Next" By GLADYCE GREENAWAY Los Angeles' own—Ralph J. Bunche has a very interesting article, "The Thompson-Negro Alliance", in March's issue of "Opportunity". Ralph's career has been watched by scores of Angelenos who are very, very proud of the success he has made. Talk about co-operation! We've got to hand it to the Lone Wolves and the Beau Brunmels for coming out on masse to make the Silver Fox dance, March 1st, a "howling" success, Rene, and his musical madmen, were "tighter than tight", and the hall, crowed to the window sills, bespoke the popularity of the club. Everybody made "whoopee". We guess "Ma" Patton will be strutting like a peacock now that son Mal has received a contract from the Lafayette Players to be one or them. Malcolm has worked hard and deserves the success he has fought for, and "Ma" deserves credit for fighting with him. Congratulations Malcolm, here's hoping your star will never set. Talk about courtesy, tact, and accommodation! We've simply got to the clerks in the new Co-operative Store. We ambled in there to buy a lemon drop, and stayed to buy a ham. Gee wiz, we’re getting all the breaks lately, Miss Barr, Executive Secretary of the Urban League, is residing at Monrovia, on a ranch, and to us that spells chickens, rabbits, cecelia. And the cost to us will be negligible, seeing as we are one of staff in the summer time, after a hard game of tennis, doesn’t dripped chicken and French fried sound good so you? We wonder why Miss Geraldine Evans stayed at the Tivoli, thru two shows. Was it because Pete was playing there that Sunday, or did she have an interesting companion to talk with? Last week we mentioned that the Girl Reserves of Watts had organized. These are the officers. President: Miss Houston; Vice-President: Miss Esther Kern; Assistant Secretary: Miss Edna Spatulling; Assistant Secretary—Miss Edith Thompson; Treasurer: Miss Missie Billeen. The Advisor is Miss Ollie Greene. Miss Gladys Mathonican will act as "speaker" in the Girl Reserve Minsiret to be held soon, and the quartett will provide the music. The First Presbyterian Church of Eagle Rock was fortunate in securing for its congregation, the services of that famops Graduate Girl Reserve Quartett last Sunday. Everyone was enchanted by the selections chosen by the quartett, who are the Misses Florence Cadrez, Gladys Mathonican and Velma White. The girls wonder if Bert Richie famous athlete, is girl shy, but the solution might be that he prefers San Diego to Los Angeles. Who was the society matron who returned her license be cause it read "I—M—55"? Well, little old J. Bowie Post, out stepped itself in this last smoker given on Monday evening at the Elk's Hall Talk about celebrities, both in the motion picture, stage and cabaret world being represented! Wy, they just "mat- chelly" had all the talent on Brown Skin Avenue that there is to be had. All these husbands who like to get off and make "whoopee" were there, be- sides all the young blood just aching for "experience". Approximately four hundred stalwar "he" men were present to hear "Sunburned" Jim, and his uke; see Carolynne Snowden and her Creole review; hear Charles Olden- who exercised his vocal chords for a charming song for two; Nosby's band and the Quality Seranaders. Claud Cline and the Boy, Ivy Anderson, the Clairborne, and "Sugarfoot" whose harmonics and expressive smile nearly stopped the show, and others, not to mention a famous "Salome" dance. Besides almost a total representa- tion of the detective force, there were present at this gathering, ladies and gentlemen, staid business men, prosperous doctors, lawyers, and merchants, and from all reports they had a whole of a good time (substitute any word for "whale" for anything you care to). The Kipsingon art and Literary Club, met Mrs. Ardella Anglin, 1241 Nami Else, February 8th. After the regular routine business a very interesting program was rendered. First number was "America," sung by the ladies standing, accompanying Mrs. Nell McClanahan, after which Atty. Tyler, speaker of the evening was introduced by Mrs. Olivia Wilson. His subject, "Outlining the Constitution," was delivered in a most scholarly way. He portrayed the government of the U.S. as representing the highest standards of civilization, giving much food for thought. Solo by Mrs. Wilson, accompanied by Mrs. Anglin. Delicious refreshments were served by the hos- Last Friday was a red letter day for business boosters, and the largest turnout yet.

The shooting occurred near the Person's Filling Station on the night in question when Davis, who was acting as a night watchman for the merchants of the town of Shuqulak, attempted to search Hale for a pistol which he suspected that he carrled. At first search no possession of fire-arms, was revealed, but Davis, not feeling satisfied, signified his intention of making a second search, when a clash occurred. Davis drawing a gun which he carried shot Hale. E HOME ON ST 1844 E. G. HILL ARLORS OF N & CO. DIRECTORS : WEstmore 2060 J. L. KILLE AMB.

Dorsey The Elks have finally to their credit decided to start their building which for nearly two years has been held up owing to legal entanglements due to an extended street widening. Adams and Central Avenue is to take a step forward in the name of race pride and progress. The Masons recently acquired a $50,000 home; following this the Odd Fellows, Los Angeles Lodge purchased a valuable improved corner at 42nd and Central and now the Elks are moving forward to erect on their valuable sight at 37th and Central a $75,000 home. Truly the automobile fever is turning in favor of a building program. Speaking along the lines of race progress as we motor down life's avenue, it might be well to apply the brakes long enough to speak a commendable word as to our present day Negro actor. It's a long way from the days of Billy Kersands and Ernest Hogan type of actor when the Negro was paid to make a monkey of himself to the present when the acting of such individual stars as grace the famous Lafayette players at the Lincoln can be favorably compared with the best in any line today, be it light or heavy drama, comic or grand opera. We dare say that a more versatile set of individual actors than these who appear upon the stage, at the Lincoln is impossible to find. Of course the honors which the find. Of course the honors they have achieved were not obtained joy riding but by applying themselves. They have plenty of hdrse sense when it think so try to sell them one. Automobiles furnish a wonderful source of mental recreation now and then, however one tires of street scenery, highway scenery and gasoline odors and seek other avenues of pleasure one of which is the theatre. Now and then, not often however, we find ourselves seated around, among, and alongside of some patrons whose theatrical conduct from a spectator's position could be, improved upon. They laugh when they should be serious, they snigger when they should be still; they humorously criticize to the disgust of those about them every effort of the actor to play his roll his best. In fact and in short you're occasionally, too, as I say, not often annoyed by a set of ignorants be it in Grauman's Hollywood or our Lincoln. We hope that time will educate this class so it will be unnecessary to use the mentioned fact as a background to segregate us here and there whether it be the theatre of the pews, in Bob Schuler's church on Sunday morn when he sometimes preaches from the back of the devil. Recently there passed to the great beyond one from amongst us that was trying to get somewhere, whose efforts we admired in the person of Mrs. Cindia Clayburn. It is an undeniable fact that Eighth and Towne, the N. A. A. C. P. Victory Chapter of the Masonic family and others will miss her in their meetings and drives to put things over. We too shall miss her and the Reo she learned to handle so well, but in her permanent absence we shall carry on, with her as a remindable example to guide us. With these remarks let us pause for a moment by the curb of life's highway and sound taps for her, she who yet lives in spirit around and about us though passed to the great beyond. Conner-Johnson have three brand new Pierce Arrows. Bing! Dr. Eugene Nelson has acquired a new car. Bang! William Neckerson has taken unto himself in addition to insurance knowledge and the fathering of a cooperative grocery store, a Whippet and a Studebaker. Good judgment. Fred Warfield purchased a big 7-passenger Willys Knight. One cannot help but notice as they motor here and there the fact, that a goodly number of mothers and daughters where looks and appearance have had a masculine flavor through the channels of hobbled hair for a couple of years are again aspiring to be themselves. We are not championing the gandy heads of yesterday but we would like to be able to look her in the face and recognize the features as feminine without having to resort to the use of a mriscrope.

PULLMAN PORTERS' From the Kansas City Call The charter granted Pullman Porters' by the American Federation of Labor is the most important event affecting the race which has happened in a long time. It definitely puts organized labor in support of a group of Negroes in their efforts to improve their working conditions, and therefore presages the day when the color line will vanish from among workers in America. Two groups establish the merit of the Negro and won this victory. Naturally we speak of the leaders first. A Philip Randolph of New York City and his co-workers, among whom is Ashley L. Toten or this city. An American Federation of Labor Charter is prima facia evidence that the Pullman Porters' Brotherhood is the true porter labor organization. The Government itself, through its bureau, will recognize it in negotiations.. The men's organization will come to be the only one head, and the so-called "company" group cannot take a hand and bring about confusion. The hours, working conditions and wages for porters will be dealt with as are those of other crafts. The clearing of the scene for a straight out and out presentation of the issues is a glory for the leaders who have fought so long against tremendous odds. Great as is the work of the porters' leaders, it is what the men them selves have done that makes us thrill. The rise of labor has been a struggle with conservatism and immediate human necessities always against the worker. From the brass collar wadded about the neck, to serfdom where the worker was sold along with the land ```markdown ``` WELL I HOPE TO SNAP MY GARTER IF IT AINT JOE WUMPS - HOWS THE KID! GREAT!

(By The Associated Negro Press) New York, March 1.—A full denial of everything contained in the alleged confession of the colored butler of Mrs. Edgar Allen, Honey Walker Armstead, was made here today by Edward W. "Daddy" Browning. In a twenty-five page typewritten confession, Armstead declares among other things that so anxious was "Daddy" Browning to obtain a divorce from his wife, "Peaches," he disguised himself as a workman, put on a pair of brand new overalls and with a tin pail in one hand, marched about the Allen estate at Larchmont for several hours one night. Armstead declares Browning promised him $5.00 if he testified to the effect that Mrs. Browning was Allen's companion in misconduct at the Allen home during the absence of Mrs. Allen. Nonpayment of the promised "gelt" caused Armstad to turn against his erstwhile millionaire friend and lay himself open to charges of perjury—all of which course will boomerang right back to the famous Mr. "Daddy" Browning. The bar association's "constitutional rights committee" investigated the case and approved the judge's stand. In a letter to Judge Russell, W. H. Anderson, chairman of the committee, says: --- Municipal Judge Louis P. Russell's recent defense of the constitutional rights of citizens to resist police officers entering their homes without search warrants has won the praise of the Los Angeles Bar Association, it was learned today. Early last month Judge Russell dismissed an assault charge against Chas. G. Dunscomb, a colored resident who had disarmed an officer on his premises and forced him to leave at the point of a gun. Judge Russell decided the case "on the testimony of the officers themselves." "The attention of the constitutional rights committee of the Los Angeles Bar Association was called to your recent decision upholding the rights of an individual to resist an invasion of his prismis by police officers without a warrant and dismissing a charge of assault for resisting such an invasion. "They have requested me to say that they are strictly in accord with your views on the law as thus interpreted and administered by oyu and feel that your action in the case in question tends to the administration of common justice." "While I do not believe I am entitled to any commendation for doing that, which was my plain duty to do, it is nevertheless gratifying to know that such a fine body of men still hold that the constitution is the most valuable possession of the American people. "This is a fact so elementary that it should be unnecessary to comment upon. Yet it would seem that a large number of our people have forgotten the sacredness or the constitution and, with the exception of one or two amendments, seem to regard all the rest as surplusage and of little value." Among the interesting letters received by Judge Russell in support of his Dunsmoke case decision, is one signed by Elzers Gibson, white, and Camille Keys, colored, the latter residing at 1008 Austin street. "We are taking this method of thanking you," the letter reads, "for the stand you have taken against policemen breaking into people's homes when they have no authority to do so and because in the case of this colored man you defended him as an American citizen should be defended, whether white or colored. "Stand up for justice for the colored people and they will surely stand by you and every fair-minded citizen should." and from serfdom to free labor is a bloody trail, watered with tears. Negroes are no. of the same blood as the men who blazed that, trail up to the point where it is universally conceded that a worker has a right to culture, comfort and entertainment in addition to a mere living. We could no deserve them simply by claim. To qualify in the American Federation of Labor, the porters had to preserve, and and their courage had to be demonstrated. The struggle in which they have engaged during the last three and a half years is the price paid in this one calling. Randolph deserves credit, but he understood his problem. The heroes were in the ranks, because they had only faith. The victory of the Pullman Porters in winning labor recognition proves Negro manhood as truly as could any military exploit.

Page-Six Golden West Lodge, No. 86, I. B. P. O. E. of W., Will Build "Rest" Keeping pace with progress Golden West Lodge, No. 86, local Elks, will in the near future break ground for the erection of the most imposing and best appointed fraternal building own- ed by our group west of the Mississi ippi River. The building will be built on plans furnished by the noted architect, Paul Williams and superintended by him, thereby assuring the very highest point of efficiency in its building. It will occupy the large lot at 38th and Central which is about 105x175 feet to an alley. The structure itself will represent a most pleasing sight to the eye, built with a large patio with eight stores facing a mammoth fountain in the center. The Lodge has approved the drawings and the contract will soon be let and work started on this magnificent edifice. Frank G. White is the Exalted Ruler of Golden West Lodge. The immediate work for construction has been delegated to a building commission composed of members of the Lodge of which Mr. F. Watkins is the chairman. This commission lays out and devises ways and means for the consumption of the work of building subject to the approval of the Lodge. This commission consists of 10 members as follows: Percy Buck; J. P. Bratton; J. Hartley Jones; J. B. Loving; Wm. Robinson; Monroe Elgin; J. B. Bass. There are other equally as important Auxiliaries which will play their part in the building of the home, the activities of which we will give the fullest information during the drive for the new Elks Rest. This will be a highly creditable effort and all Los Angeles will do well to join hands with this progressive order for a mighty success. A New York, March 6. The story appearing in the Philadelphia Tribune to the effect that all was not well between the principals of the "Wedding of the Era", Mr. and Mrs. Countee Cullen, has set New York tongues wagging.

Mrs. DuBois is visiting her daughter in Paris, according to statements of Dr. DuBois, but this falls to set at rest the stories going the rounds of society that all is not well with the famous romance.

Mrs. Grey declared her son came home intoxicated on the evening of February 19th, early in the evening. She began talking to him about his actions, and he became infuriated. He picked up a chair, struck her across the face and severely beat her. After the assault, Mrs. Grey was taken to the Harlem Hospital where she received medical treatment.

Wholly private projects along this line, he said, are impracticable because of the necessity for raising enormous sums t o correct the apartment houses in sufficient numbers to bring relief. Coincident to this Alderman Hawkins disclosed the astonishing fact that new apartment houses in Harlem—the only really livable ones—are bringing extremely high rentals. "In one new apartment house," said the Alderman, "the rent is from $40 to $45 a month for one room. Sixty dollars for two rooms is what is raid in another place. Four rooms bring $5. "Couple this with the fact that the average working man, who is skilled in some line or other, makes $30 to $35 a week at most and you have the reason for the problem. "How can landlords get these rents? There are many contributing causes but the major one is this: There are approximately 200,000 colored folk in Harlem. They must live there. They "This is a condition which should concern not only Harlem but the entire city. It is obviously short sighted for those living in other sections to believe that what happened in Harlem is no concern of the Diseases which are bred in the elite allowed to gather here soon spreads to other sections along with other ill-effects. "Private enterprises in the line of building model apartments here have not been particularly successful due to the fact that they cannot be built in sufficient numbers, to bring relief to any but a chosen few. RPs business projects they are probably successful because the outlier represents a perfectly sound investment. As a charitable movement, they are not, because the people who go, most of the apartments which were low-priced compared to other buildings were those who could afford to pay more. "What is needed is a governmental subsidy whereby rentals could be limited to be within the reach of the average and yet high enough to murr- Seriously Injured Trying To Escape New Orleans, La., March 1.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)

The devotionals were conducted by the Pastor, afterwards he introduced the speaker of the evening in the person of Rev. W. C. Cartwright pastor of Compton Hill Baptist Church St. Louis, Mo. Rev. Cartwright preached a wonderful sermon, using as his Text, the 10th Chapter of St. Luke and the 83rd Verse. This sermon dealt with the two classes of people. "The Pessimist and the Optimist". I am sure it any one was guilty of the curse of being a "Pessimist" will surely change after listing to this sermon. There will be baptising Sunday morning, all are asked to be present.

The congregation manifested intense interest as he spoke of the power and wisdom of the Divine mind as is evidenced in his creation and providence. There were a number of visitors present at the morning service. The Junior had a very good meeting with a fair attendance, also the Senior Endeavor. At the evening service the Pastor preached again using as a text Ex. 3; and 2nd verse. Subject, "The Burning Bush." Again the congregation was inspired with the message as he pictured to us the growth and preservation of the church as represented in the symbol of the bush that burned and yet was not consumed.

MATTIE JACKSON 1115-1117 East 10th St. Los Angeles, Calif. THE MISSING PERSON JUSTICE REACHES OUT In the case of James H. Bate who was pounced upon and brutally beaten by five Los Angeles Police Officers and who went to an untimely grave, partially as a result of the same, there is rapidly crystalizing a belated demand for delayed justice which cannot be halted. Only a few days ago the Supreme Court made a decision awarding damages to the widow and now powerful citizens with unselfish devotion to a righteous cause and even-handed justice are demanding that these officers shall pay off for their brutality. Even the City Council has called for a show down and truly the hand of justice reaches out on behalf of a man who from his service and high Christian character is highly deserving the same. Although he has passed the act in itself will justify this situation to his widow and friends. Truly justice is reaching forth in this case for its own. STANDS FIRM FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT We are much impressed by the inaugural address of President Hoover from the fact that he omitted to give out the usual insincere platitudes, anent the race, lynching bill, and its mighty progress. The fact that he failed to sav anything is possibly a better omen than if he had devoted a whole section of the message to suggest something which he had no intention of doing, as evidenced by his predecessor. Therefore he spoke right out in favor of enforcing all laws and emphasized the same over and over again. Granting his sincerity this must necessarily include all and every amendment to the Constitution and we take solace in the statement to the GROUP INSURANCE WEEK The insurance companies owned and controlled by our group have designated March 3rd to 10th as National Negro Insurance Week. The purpose of the same is to promote a special campaign to bring to the attention of the Black American Citizens the important facts and valuable information concerning the Superior Service rendered to our people by these companies. There are 32 companies which make up the National Insurance Association. These companies have a combined annual income of sixteen and one-half million dollars. They give employment to more than 11,000 persons and have invested millions of dollars in real estate and mortgages on property owned by our group. California's Contribution Though only four years in the business, our own California product—The Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company—is a member of the great national organization and playing well its part in propagating the beneficent organization for public weal. It is owned, managed and operated by Black Americans. Its annual income increased from $34,131.60 in 1925 to $145,464.53 in 1928. Having a total income of nigh unto one half million dollars since its origin, Having issued more than $15,000 policies, paying out to policy holders $110,000.00 during this period of time. Gives employment to more than 100 persons and has erected a very splendid and modern two-story office block, which stands as a monument to the achievement of the race on the Pacific Coast. Standing for first class insurance protection, and for everything which means progress, inspiration and hope for our youth. Truly the people of this section should express their appreciation by joining in with the movement for National Insurance Week and make the showing at the company's junction such as to reflect the highest possible co-operation on these Western shores. FOR MAYOR As the time is rapidly approaching for the selection of a Chief Executive for the wonder city of America it is well that thought should be given the various aspirants to the end that all citizens can well play their part in selecting a good and capable man for this position. When we say good, we mean that everything and capable Mayor for all the people. A man particularly who will have no Mayor for ral the people. A man particularly who will have no enemies to punish and we certainly can have no objection for him if he so chooses to reward his friends. We want to stand for a man who stands for law and order. One who will not delegate the functions of the Police Department to serve selfish interests or persons. One who will give to all people due consideration and recognition as a part and parcel of our great city. One who will not run the various departments of the city except for the best interests of all the people. We are therefore sure that out of all the aspirants who will present themselves, such a man as we have mentioned will be found, of this we are sure, and we are confident the rank and file of the law abiding, home-loving citizens will line, up and place at the head of our city government just such a man. LUXURIES The automobile was once condemned by a religious sect as a worldly luxury. There have been many religious sects and denominations which have denied their converts every luxury and every pleasure not definitely spiritual. This one sect banned the automobile because it did not believe it to a necessity of life. This religious body made that mistak so often made by the individual and sometimes made by a generation or an age of mankind. That error lay in failing to see the value of luxury as the experiment station of necessity. The luxury of today is often the necessity of tomorrow. The patrons of luxury foster progress and by their patronage give to mankind that luxury when it has become a necessity. In its incipiency the automobile was a luxury. It did not become a necessity until it had been mechanically perfected, many years after it had been adopted by the wealthy as a luxury. The wealthy by adopting the automobile as a luxury made it financially possible for the engineers and inventors to perfect it for commercial purposes. The same was true of the electric light and many other civilized comforts. In isolated communities with no luxuries, people lack imagination to change, and continue their primitive discomforts. Luxury which represents desire to refine life contributes much; that which is ostentations does not. EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA FORM THE THINK HABIT Fear of making mistakes has made failures of as many men as mistakes have made successes. Failures are awed into retrogression by the same possibilities-of-mistakes challenged by the successes among men. A popular adage is "The man who never made a mistake never made a dollar," but a truer statement of fact might be "The man who never made a mistake has not yet lived." Conceding that all men make mistakes, it is manifest that only the same mistake repeated is unpredictable and the habit, not the individual mistake, is cost. Somebody pays everytime somebody blunders and the only way to correct the habit of blundering is to-form the habit of doing things right. Form the habit of blundering is to form the habit of doing things right. Form the habit of being careful and take pains today that you may spare yourself incalculate, pain tomorrow. Many are blundering on to success by making the most of their blunders. The haunting regret in every mistake is the thought that it could have been averted by a little thought. The indolent find actions easier than thought and much of humanity is indolent. Thinking ca nbe made a habit just as most bodily movements are from force of habit. Cultivate the habit of thinking before acting and that bugaboo, the mistake-habit, will decamp for more salubrious foraging. TWO CAN EARN MORE THAN ONE Investigations conducted in various cities disclose an increasing tendency among married women and mothers to enter into gainful occupations. One third of the 40,000 employed women in the nation's capital are married and many of that number are mothers. Many are actuated by the desire for financial independence and others by economic necessity. Two bread winners in a family are often necessary to make both ends meet. Here is a subject demanding serious consideration. If the time comes when the vast majority of women must enter the factories, stores and offices to help maintain homes and support children the inevitable outcome will be fewer homes and children. To permit such a condition would mean race suicide. And, in the final analysis, the fact must not be lost sight of that economic laws work both ways. Large families are now forcing mothers into gainful occupations. With large numbers of women thus engaged the birth rate must fall. The receding birth rate and children reaching the self-supporting age will release more mothers and wives from outside employment, with the result that the birth rate will again climb. From here the process will begin all over again. WHAT WE NEED There are many things we need in Los Angeles, but a few are vital and outstanding above all others. to agree upon what we want to do then go it out. We need aggressiveness—for without aggressiveness, indolence and stagnation will be our lot. We need loyalty—for without loyalty we will be enriching commercial interests at distant points and impoverishing our people at home. Some communities thrive and grow because of their natural advantages. Others are made only through the dogged energy and perseverance of their citizenship. Ours will be what we make it, and we should make it all that we can. Jumping at conclusions is said to be bad exercise. Tell her she gets better looking every time you see her and she wants you to see her often. Never ask a girl what she is thinking about. There are enough lies in the world already. COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON Legislation at California's State Capital is beginning to gather momentum. The tax bill, sponsored by the Administration, was passed with few dissenting votes. All of the urgency measures met with success, and numerous bill have been passed to committee. Some have been reported out favorably. Of course the "fire works" have not been ignited so far, but there is the promise of some beautiful pyrotechnics when the session grows in interest. California is not going to be behind any of the "Goll Darned" states when it comes to impeachments. Oklahoma, Wisconsin, nor any of the others are going to have a monopoly of the impeachment game. The Commission investigating the charges against Judge Hardy, who is accused of accepting a fee of $2500 from the "Four Square" evangelist of Los Angeles, for legal service, has reported for impeachment. He is charged with five counts. All center about the unethical, one of practicing while on the bench as Judge. The tentative plans have been set for trial on or about March 10th. When this goes to press the 48 states of the Union will have inducted into office the man who, last November, they elected to pilot their destiny for the coming four years. The inauguration of President Hoover did not adhere to the simplicity of Jackson or Jefferson, but, though colorful it was not elaborate as some of his predecessors. Woodrow Wilson set the example for simple inaugurals, and it has been strictly adhered to by his successors. Two of the Coolidge cabinet remain with President Hoover. Secretary of Treasury, Mellon and Secretary of Labor, Davis. His official family is a very strange one and he seemingly has tried to surround himself with capable men. The only cloud in the offing is the national origin clause in the immigration bill. As president-elect, Mr. Hoover in his acceptance speech declared against it. Certain senators have issued an ultimatum that they will fight to have the clause retained. So there promises to be a clash between the administration and a powerful clique in the senate which may determine the success of the administration in its recommendation of legislation. --- A bill has been presented to the California Assembly for the creation of a Race unit in the military. It has been suggested by some that it is class legislation, and as such should not be pressed. Granting that such is the case the premise is wrong. There can be no sound argument brought to bear that would justify putting the measure in such a classification. It is with regret that acknowledgement must be made that COLOR is, and would be, a barrier to the application of any one, non-white, for successful application to membership in any of the existing units of the state military service. Such being the case there should be created a unit wherein they could serve, and fit themselves for any emergency for which the state or nation may call. While the investigation fever is on Sacramento is not going to be left out of the light. The Rev. Harley H. Gill, pastor of the Pioneer Memorial Church of that city, in a recent pulpit address said some things that certain members of the councilmanic body termed, at least, uncomplimentary. Councilman R. E. Conley deemed it an "anjust attack" and introduced a resolution that the Reverend Sir be called before the city council or grand jury to explain. There had been an attempt by the council to oust the City Manager, Kluegel, and the Rev. McGill had denounced it as unfair and that the members elected under the head of the Peoples ticket were "using obstructionist tactics." Most of the members considered the matter as a joke, but Conley insisted on his resolution which finally laid over for one week. It is becoming a serious matter to criticize a public official in "these days and times." They are ticklish about criticism as "Old Abe's mule"—and he kicked at sight of a curry comb. According to rumor the men who massacred the seven men in Chicago, Valentine Day, are known to the police. Will they be arrested? And if they are arrested will they be convicted? And if they are convicted will they be sentenced, and serve their sentence? The questions would not be necessary if it were known before hand that they were or were not, prominent in the politics of the city. According to the previous actions of the courts it is alleged that the criminal underworld has such a strangle hold on the neck of "poor blind justice" that it thumbs its nose at her futile attempts to function. The world of civilization will watch with great interest Chicago's attempt to curb the wave of crime which has reached a height unprecedented in the criminal annals of any city in the United States. Now where has it stalked so brazen. When a rival gangsters life was sought nothing was a barrier to the accomplishment of the deed. No thoroughfare was to crowded, no account taken of the risk of bullet from a machine gun taking as its toll the life of some innocent passerby. They were out to get their man and they did. It is to be hope that speedy justice will be meted out to the culprits if found. No difference that the men slain were violators of the law. It is up to Chicago's mayor. They must have some confidence in him. He still retains his councilmanic power. There is no excuse. The California Legislature now in session paid a unique compliment to one of its members. Unique, from the fact that the act was a spontaneous pronouncement of the esteem and regard which they held for their colleague. In conversation with one of the Assemblymen from the "City of the Angels" a conversation turned to the representation in the Bureaus of the several departments of the Federal Government. During the course of that conversation numerous positions, formerly held under previous administrations were quoted. Emphasis was laid on the fact that for some unknown reason, under recent administrations, those positions had been denied. It was wondered if the present Administration would recognize the claim of California Race voters to representation and named a man who would make an able and qualified candidate for such position. The Registrar of the Treasury was named as one of the offices held in the past, but hitherto denied. A petition to President Hoover was drawn up, signatures of the entire body of the Legislature, House and Senate, obtained, and FREDERICK M. ROBERTS, Assemblyman from the 74th District., Los Angeles, was overcome when he found lying on his desk the original copy and two typewritten replicas of a petition to the President of the United States to consider his name for the position as Registrar of the Treasury or some similar renumerative position. This means that should the Hon. Frederick M. Roberts consent to become a candidate for a government appointment, he will have the entire State of California to boost his candidacy. For every assemblyman and senator represents a part of the State, and every member, from the Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the Assembly to EVERY MEMBER OF THE ASSEMBLY AND SENATE signed the request. Not a word had to be said by the assemblyman who simply laid the petition before a member and it was signed. We trust that Assemblyman Roberts will consent to allow his name to be presented, and if we correctly understand, the matter has already been laid before the president-lect, we feel confident that it will receive favorable considera- The Sacramento Odd Fellows and Household celebrated Peter Ogden Day, March 1st. A short programme preceded the social session. We noticed in the audience many of the old time faces, indigenous to early Sacramento. It was with pleasure that we hailed the venerable B. A. Johnson, the paragon of early California lore. Although an octogenarian the mind of B. A. is alert and his memory as keen as that of youth. His acquaintance with the pioneers and makers of the State's history was very close. Collis Huntington, Crocker, Leland Stanford and others of the great men whose names are interwoven in the carving of California statehood, and builders of the Central Pacific R. R. were close acquaintance by reason of daily contact. Mr. Johnson was a messenger in their offices. He was telling us of an old relic in his possession. It is a pass over the old Central Pacific R. R. issued in 1864 and bears the signature of MARK HOPKINS, whose name is identified with the "Golden days" of California. According to Mr. Johnson, the pass was for the round trip, and on the return the conductor of the train failed to take it up. As a relic of the days of early railroading and bearing the signature of one of the builders, that pass is a valuable asset of early historic worth. It is Mr. Johnson's intention to present it to the present S. P. to be placed in their archives. Some time ago the heirs of the Hopkins estate were fighting over the genuineness of a signature attached to the Hopkins will. There can be no doubt to the authenticity of the signature on the pass that he issued to Mr. Johnson in 1864. Friday, March 8, 1929 We are locking up the records of the various candidates just now. Those who have held office we are seriatizing very closely for we want to know what service they have rendered an grounds for a continued support. To those who have no knowledge of office duties we know if they promise to give all their constituents the same break. When we are satisfied along this line of effort the Pot Pie column will come forth with its findings. With a possibility of a dozen or more candidates going to the barrier in the May primary, it looks like a hot time in the old town as the battle rages. All eyes are focusing on the Tenth, Seventh, Ninth and Eighth Councilmanic Districts, don't be surprised if something should happen in these balliwicks. Petitions are already being circulated for Gov. C. C. Young for 1830. We hardly think many of our group will jump sideways for the privilege of signing these petitions. The black vote put him in there alright but he has absolutely failed thus far in a practical demonstration of his appreciation. Therefore it is up to the Governor to do just a little something in order to set up enough courage to ask for their support. No Judge Parker Wool does not come up for this election. We say this in answer to the many inquiries. However, we will assure our readers that we will give them due and timely notice when he beams, shows his lead upon the political horizon. Chas. K. Elliot is a candidate for the Council from the Westside; all things being equal and hailing from our home town, Topoka, Kansas, we might well say we are for him. John R. Gentry looks like a winner and Councillman Lewis had better look out as Gentry promises him the race of his life. Let us hope that out of all the candidates mentioned for Mayor of this great city, that one will be found who is really and truly big enough to be the Mayor for all the people and give the citizens thereon a real fair and square deal. Cop Hold Man While Thugs Assault Him (By: A. N. P.) Atlantic City, N. J., Mar. 4.—James G. Rowe, 32, 122 North Michigan Avenue, a porter employed at the Maxitique Cafe, Kentucky Avenue, near the boardwalk, was assaulted and beaten so severely Saturday night that he to spend twelve hours in the Atlantic City Hospital, before he was allowed to return to his home. Patrolman Harry Gunther, white, of the boardwalk "heavy squad," was placed under suspension by chief torment for allowed dereliction of duty, following charges of airroads assault and battery preferred against him by James Rowe, then arrested on a warrant issued by Magistrate Page. Gunther is under $2,500 built for a bearing before Magistrate Page and the additional charge of decoration of dill will later be moved for trial before Director of Public Safety Cuthbert, this is based upon the report of investigators that Gunther, although on duty, was in the Cafe and of his boat. The chief's version of the affair, based on investigation by Acting Detective Inspector Ferrettic was that the accused were all in the cafe whip Edward Bowars, a chauffer, picked an argument with Rowe, and brandished a revolver. Rowe wrested it from him and fled, turning the weapon over to Patrolman Thomas Neville, half a block away and appealing to him for protection. Gunther, with Robert Mackenzie, a salesman, Bowers and "Kid" Currie, all white, came running in the vanguard of others in the cafe, and declared that Rowe was his prisoner; about that time patrolman Hugh Moreland joined them and he and Neville were asked by Gunther to pull the box for the patrol wagon; while Rowe was thus in custody of Gunther, the others came up and beat the porter, one of the men, believed to be Bowers striking him on the head with a brick while the policeman is alleged to have held the victim. Edward Bowers and Robert MacKenzie were held, under $2,500 ball for a hearing before Magistrate Waltmayer Tuesday night, charged with atrocious assault and battery. The young people of Wilmington, Deleware have established a series of Sunday meetings known as "The Open Door Forum," where thoughtful addresses are presented followed by discussions from the floor and interspersed with some music. Los Angeles young people could be greatly benefit Simultaneously with the recent announcement that the Chandler Distributorship for Southern California had been taken over by the Kelly Kar Co. 1225 So. Figueroa, the doors of the Kelley salesroom were thrown open to display one of the largest stocks of Chandler models ever shown in Los Angeles. These discounts may be changed at any time, depending upon the law and are to be sold by the new Distributor at discounts ranging from $300 to $800 of the usual retail price. THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK IS IN A CAR. These discounts may be changed at any time, depending upon the law of supply and demand. It is possible that the expected hard volume of business may be much greater than estimated, in which case it will be necessary to adjust prices to offset the dwindling reserve stocks. Members of the Kelley Kar Co. are now in San Diego and Long Beach, negotiating for salesroom to be used by branch offices in the sale of Chandlers. It is not the intention to appoint dealers, but rather to keep sales costs down to the minimum by selling direct and eliminating middlemen's overhead costs and profits, and passing these savings on to the purchasers. All of the latest models produced by the Chandler factory are now on display, but with the present rate of sales, Kelley officials feared that it may be impossible to keep a full supply ready for immediate delivery.

These friends are the members of the California Federation of Women's Clubs. A chance to procure an education was all that she was asking for. And this the Club Women are going to strive to do with the aid of the churches and interested people. In the month of March, 1928, a letter was written by one of a Juvenile Court* Committee asking help for a colored girl namely Carrie Larkins. This letter fell into the hands of one who in turn was responsible for its being brought to the attention of the Federation of Women's Clubs. 'After proper investigations, and careful consideration it was decided to send her to the National Training School for Girls at Washington, D. C. Miss Nannle Birkrough, President, where she could pursue her studies and be benefited by the contact and environment which such an institution affords. Carrie was placed at the El Retiro School for Girls by the Welfare Department of the Court and attended the San Fernando Junior High School. Her report card and report card from teacher Excellent and from teacher average for the 4-11 grade. She held a mental rating of 129. It was at the request of the school authorities that she be placed in a Boarding School for future protection. Upon this suggestion the club women assisted by the minister, other organizations and friends have sent Carrie to the National Training School at Washington, D.C. We mention only a few organizations and persons who can handle a large portion of the beginning of the work that will continue. The Five and Over Charity Club: The Narcissus Club.

"So far only common carriers have been considered—the means which are so essential to the rapid movement of those commuting from one center of population to another and within the metropolitan districts themselves. In the above figures are included the hundreds of thousands of workers who use the commuting trains of the railroads, electric interurban lines, street car systems, subways and elevated lines in our cities, at least twice a day. "From these systems we now turn our attention to a younger but the most popular means of transportation for individual use that has been used by peoples—the automobile. Four automobiles were manufactured in the United States in 1896 but thirty years later (1925) there were 1,699,389,389 cars and 1,699,389,389 trucks produced of cars registered each year has naturally been even greater the passenger cars having increased from four in 1896 to 17,512,638 in the year 1925 while the truck registration increased from 410 in 1904 (the year they were first manufactured) to 9,441,709 in 1925. CROSSING ACCIDENT BLAME DIVIDED "The popularity of the automobile, as shown by its rapid growth and without taking into consideration the economic side of the question, is undoubtedly due to the fact that the automobile a harms a day in a generation ago, is now but a master of a few hours while months of heavy plumbing by the plumber is now accomplished in a few days. With all the automobile has given us in the way of pleasure, better living conditions, and a final economic aspect, we are confronted by the large number of deaths attributed to its use. Whether all the deaths occurring where it is involved can be attributed directly to it or has not been and is not RICKARD'S PALACE OF SWATS HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP SWORKEY TUNKEY Pink Thomas FILM 50TH ANNIVERSARY We are wondering why the dancing king known as "Stapla Fochhit" has discarded his rear end sign on the Cod, fired a chaufaum and now requests in the back seat? We presume it quite a pleasure ordering James or George to drive this or that place. Whose sport Packard is it with the bull's eye lights that stands in the vachyli of 41st and Central constanty, fenders all dented, and paint missing in places? Looks like it might have been a real automobile once reduced to its present status by abuse. Too good a lack and too much money invested to hang around a conspicuous owner like that.

The figures of the following table cannot but impress one of the assistance of the automobile安全性 alleviation. There is little or no need for comment upon them, as they speak for themselves. But there were some in the audience who laughed. Laughed when Charles Olden in the latently serious difficult portrait of the half-demented, terried man, trying to fathom why, when tears were brought to some eyes, they laughed. Laughed when Evelyn Preer fainted from the bitter argument that she would not have children. Laughed when Laura Bowman perfectly walked up the stairway like a reed old lady would. It must be very trying to the actors and it is certainly disgusting to the majority of the audience. Laugh. Laugh, why do we have to laugh? Is it downright ignorance or what?
