Native Africans Launch Half Million Dollar Bank (By The Associated Negro Press) Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, March 14.—One of the largest financial institutions operated by Negroes in any part of the world was launched here this week, when the Industrial and Commercial Bank, Ltd., was chartered.

Colored Casting Director Pays $89,000 To 11,000 Actors (By The Associated Negro Press) Los Angeles, Calif., March 14.—Although it is almost impossible to induce Charles Butler, colored casting director for Central Casting Bureau to discuss or boast of his remarkable acivities in the Motion Picture world, it was gleaned from him that a check-up of his books shows that 59,000 has been paid into the hans of local colored citizens during the past year, through his employment of them as actors and extraes in pictures. Over 11,000 engagements were issued by him in just the past nine month, 299 persons being placed during the week of February 10th. Mr. Butler is a high-salaried director or the Central Casting Bureau, whose duty is to interview and supply all colored talent, needed by the many large picture corporations here. Practically all the local actors now making good in pictures were "discovered" by Butler whose only stipulation is that they report on time. He enjoys the confidence of all the motlin world higher ups. Roland Hayer Proves To Be Philanthropist That Roland Hayes is a philanthropist as well as a great artist is shown by his generous offer to give the proceeds from box sax sales at his next Carnegie Hall recital to the Max Yerseen South African Building Fund. This recital, the last New York appearance of Mr. Hayes for this season, will be given on April 21st at 5:30 P.M. It will be remembered by many that Mr. Hayes intended to visit Africa to study the music of the Natives when he first left America ten years ago, but was never able to carry out his plan because of the popular demand for his art which followed his first appearances in Europe. His interest in Africa, however, has grown as the years have passed so that he was glad of an opportunity to travel to Africa. The success of that interest by responding to the appeal of Max Yersean, known internationally for his devotion and statesmanship in dealing with the difficult social and interracial problems confronting the people of South Africa. For seven years, Mr. Yergan has tried to cover almost single-handed the wide stretches of the African velvet. He has driven in his rattlesnake Ford from tribe to tribe trying to establish the unseafish and far-reaching enterprise which the Negroes of America have begun in Africa. He believes in indigenous leadership and is therefore planning to establish a training center in which Native leaders may be trained instead of calling upon America to supply leadership. Toward this project, which will cost $47,000.00, Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has made a conditional gift of $25,000 and other friends have subscribed an additional $8,000.00. It is toward the raising of the remaining $13,000.00 that Mr. Hayes is making his gift. Patrons' boxes of eight seats each, in the first tier are on sale for this benefit at $4.00 a box. Individual patrons' box seats may be secured for $5.00 each. Boxes in the second tier with eight seats each may be secured for $24.00 a box, and individual seats in the second tier for $3.00 each.

Opportunity Looms As Urban League Opens Power Machine School For Women A long bench on both sides of which sits a row of colored women busily but happily operating the machinery which rapidly turns out scores of bright colored garments, the whirr of the rapid wheels, the bright sun light shining through the wide windows and a general air of skillful application to business is a picture that presents one on being allowed to visit the new Urban League Power machine school located in one of the largest garment manufacturing plants of the city. The school is directly the result of persistent pioneering into the field of labor on the part of Mr. Floyd Covington, bustling young secretary of the industrial department of the local Urban League, and is the crowning action in this important witness who for constant endeavor towards betterment of Labor conditions for Negroes So first ascertaining that there are places in the many garment factories here for capable colored women, he learned at once that there were practically none skilled and experienced in factory work because of not having the opportunity to learn. With the encouragement and cooperation of Mr. Wm. Black instructor of power machine work at Jefferson High School night, classes. Mr. Covington arranged with the owner of the garment factory to keep the school going if he allowed the space and equipment. This the manufacturer did donating the large rooms and receiving nothing in return except such garments finished by the students that he would be able to use. At present the following ladies are enrolled and showing rapid improvement after just a weeks operation of the institution. Mrs. Saddie Neilson, instructress; Mrs. Vivian Mitchell, Mrs. Mary Bisco; Mrs. Florence White, Mrs. Dorothy Brown, Mrs. Alberta Underwood. Mrs. Vera Bonidin has been employed by the manufacturer to work on the cutting table for the factory and a Spanish girl placed there to work with her in the new cutting and pressing department. Through knowledge of this work. Mrs. Amelia Hilman is the only colored woman at Harker's Garment Company, and at the Bettermade Garment Company three women and one man are already working. During his work of installing the school, Mr. Covington has learned the general repair work and installation or the machinery, keeping it in good working order. The possibilities of this new branch of economies are very great and in due time will mean much to the local group. In a years time there may be several hundred women working in the garment factories. Little or no opposition is expected, but of course considerable tact must be exercised until the two races are peacefully working side by side. Needless to say the nationality and not only colored women but a large number of men will be employed as they prove capable. (Note)...The name of the factory in which the above described school is located is not published, because of opposition which may arise at this early date. Boon the idea will have a firmer hold. M.

"Take Lynchers' Hands Off Rope First" Urges South Carolina Solon (By The Associated Negro Press) Columbia, S. C. March 14—The Aiken lynching, which stirred the state sometime ago and ten published offer a perfunctory investigation, was injected into a debate in the State Senate here Tuesday. The lynching episode was referred to when Senator John F. Williams urged the body to act favorably on a bill to curb murders and accidents by motor cars on the state highways. Making an eloquent plea, the Senator from Aiken pleaded for the senate "to take murderous hands off the wheel that kills" by passing the bill which would provide a drastic penalty against unlicensed drivers. Senator J. P. Gray of Spartanburg, who opposed the bill because he said that it would not be enforced, stated that the first thing to do was to "Take the murderous hands of lynchers off the ropes." He pointed out that already there was a law against lynching and mob violence, and referred to the Aiken case to show how well it was enforced. Extraordinary Service at Congregational Church "Why the Jews Rejected Christ" will be the subject of a message by Rev. Elias Zimmerman, a Christian Jew, Sunday evening March 17th, at 7:30 o'clock, at the Lincoln Memorial, Congregational Church, corner of Vernon and Hooper avenues, according to announcement by the Pastor, Rev.

Burk, who has announced his candidacy for the council from the Eighth District is the man who leads the White Home Owners' Association which has held several Mass Meetings at Rhodes Hall at 5426 So. Broadway, with the avowed intention of keeping the territory located between Santa Barbara on the North, Main Street on the East, Manchester on the South and Vermont on the West, white. With Mr. Burke as president and Mr. Lawson F. White first vice President, this organization proposes to relegate the Black man to the gutter. Mr. Burke no doubt has lost sight of the fact that there is a rather large black vote in the Eighth District from which he seeks recognition, as its councilman representative. Let the Negroes in this district take due notice, get busy, register, and then vote your disapproval of the the un-American tactics of Mr. Burke et al. Golden State Honors John L. Webb BY L. DORSEY John L.

The gathering was a representative one and the affair a huge success. one and the affair a huge success. S. P. Johnson acted in the capacity of Master of Ceremonies and succeeded in bringing to the surface or public attention several after dinner speakers not heretobre known, along with the public, who were public life as Wm. Nickerson, Jr. Press, Golden State Inc. Co.; Fred Williams, of Pacific Defender, Rev. A. P. Shaw, Mrs. Charlotte Bass of the California Eagle, Rev. Griffith, N. O. Houston, Secretary and Treasurer of Golden State and Free Fowler of the New Age. Following this, the honorable Mr. Webb was introduced as the speaker of the evening. Mr. Webb made a profound impression upon everyone and gave a brief synopsis of himself and his efforts to bring things to pass by helping the members of our group to help themselves. We can get somewhere when we begin to produce Negroes whose activities in the business world accentuate them to carry a $60,000 life insurance policy in order to protect their interest. Mr. Webb was accompanied by his wife. Together they have been touring the west for the past two or three months. They left for home the first of the week. WITNESS TELLS ALL WHEN PAY IS DENIED (By: A. N. P.) New York, March 13.—A full denial of everything contained in the alleged confession of the colored butter of Mrs. Edgar Allen, Henry 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 disguises as a workman, pair of brunette nymphs, 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 $5,000 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. Non-payment of the promised "gelt" caused Armstead to turn against his erstwhile millionaire friend and lay him to charges of perjury—all of which he would defend back to the famous Mr. "Daddy" Browning. The Annual Fashion Show by the Phys.ArL-Lit-Mor Club is the one big event of each year, and we are informed this year's effort will excel any which this very creditable and worthy organization has ever attempted. New features, new faces, and the latest creations all which will create an intense interest. The event will take pace at the 15th and Main Street Hall on the evening as mentioned above. perience which, had it not been for his presence eof mind coupled with the fact that only one officer was present, might have caused bloodshed. Mr. Claybryne, who railroads, was hastily returning home, about 11 P. M. to the bedside of his wife. When he passed the Apex Club, a white man started to follow him. Upon reaching the man's office, he was told the man known, ordered him to stop. Whereupon he started questioning Mr. Claybryne, telling him to open his grip. Learning that the man was a detective, Mr. Claybryne set his grip down and told the man to open and search it if he cared to do so. Although the officer seemed to thing it unusual and queer for a Negro to have a grip in his possession after dark, Mr. Claybryne thought differently and so expressed himself. What might have happened had there been more "law" present is difficult to say. However, seeing that he was about to get in bad, the detective quickly departed leaving Mr. Claybryne himself. Seven months ago, Jim Bates lost his life at the hands of the police for having a grip in his possession after dark. Some members of the police department still think a Negro has no right to carry a satchel after dark and challenge him, and it's a mighty poor man, black or white, who wouldn't accept that challenge. John L. Webb Enters New Industry PROMINENT HOT SPRINGS CITIZEN PURCHASES 20 PAIRS OF SILVER BLACK FOXES Negotiations were completed last Friday by the Hon. John L. Webb of Hol Springs, Ark. nationally known Surgeon, Custodian of the Wooden Company or Pasadena, of which firm Dr. T. J. Whittaker is President.

Mar. 13—Twenty-five childrenuddled around an oil heater in a dimly lighted unventilated room, measuring 10 feet by 10 feet in size, were discovered by Dr. William Robin. Superintendent of Public Health in a private school conducted in the house of Johanna Phillip, on Amelia street. She was ordered to have these unfortunate removed and Dr. Robin will take steps to charitable institutions.

YOUNG MEN and women of today can keep pace with the rising this of progress without resorting to those pleasures that tend to destroy body and soul. WHEN YOU DRINK too deeply in the cup that does not conform to the regulation of the 18th Amendment; it may seem sweet to the taste, but in the coming years, yes, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, you awake to a full realization of what happened the night before. IF YOU COULD but recall your steps, how differently and in what a contrasting path the man power that is vested within, you would direct them. But 'tis too late; now, you look out on the morning of your future that lies before; and one strenued with flowers of hope, and you see only clouds—you pierce them with your anxious gaze looking for a streak of hope, but there is naught but a ray of doubt. But to you who are yet lingering on the verge of this pit into which your friend and associate has fallen, you may avoid this catastrophe in your life if you will right about face. If the young lady with whom you are keeping company thinks you not a good sport because you refuse to drink the drags, remember that you have made a false choice and should seek higher grounds in that direction. OTHERS, WHOM YOU so oft would imitate, have their background, founded on many centuries of civilization. You are just making yours, build it straight on a boulder foundation with noble aspirations, and it will laugh at disaster. A FEW NIGHTS age, after hearing much pro and con about the picture, "Hearts in Dixie," now playing at the United Artists Theatre, I decided to drop in and look it over. I AM CRITIC of the drama, my sense of appreciation for harmony and rhythm in music and good diction in speaking is keen, and I somehow know when the thing strikes a vibrant chord in me. TO THE "Hearts in Dixie" I came, I saw, I heard and I departed unpeased. I recognized in Clarence Muse an artist; in Step 'N Fetchit, I would say there isn't but the one; some of our own home talent, the Billrews and others we place on a par with any of their class and feel sure that they will compete when given the chance. But the "Hearts in Dixie," we would describe as having been well born but poorly reared. The singing was good. The scenery good, but the plot revered to the same old story in the same old way, and left Sambo still sleeping at his post. THE AMERICAN NEGRO Labor Conference sponsored by the local Sleeping "Car Poppers" organization which began its sessions last Monday, closed on Wednesday evening with a grand ball in honor of A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Pulman Porters. The pre-opening of the Conference was on last Sunday when Mr. Randolph delivered an address at the 2nd Baptist Church at 2:30 to a large crowd. Monday the Congress held forth at the Vernon Library, which was featured by an address "Labor and the Press" by Hon. Lew Head, also "Negro Press and Negro Labor." Monday evening, the Congress held forth in the auditorium of Jefferson High School; two addresses "Belding and Labor," by Rev. H. B. Hawes, also "Negro Church and Negro Worker," by Rev. W. D. Carter. TUESDAY AT THE Vernon Library the various addresses by well known people were: "Education" by Dr. D. Scudder, 'Industrial Education," by Floyd D. Covington. In the evening, "Organized Labor and Negro Worker" by John S. Horn, commissioner of Public Work. The closing address was by A. Philip Randolph, "Industrial Democracy and Negro Work." splendid session was had and enjoyed by all. William Pickens will attend the World Congress which will direct its attention against Imperialism, July 20, 1929 at Berlin. In The Sport World By HARRY LEVETTE In The Spo By HARRY Upper- Cuts & Blacks E. J. HARRY LEVETTE Money the root of all evil; get the root! Sharp medicine, for sharp pains. Cry-babies of the fight game. A high school girl athlete goes to work. Why? LIVE EACH DAY SO YOU CAN LOOK EVERY 'blankety blank' man in the face and tell him to go—'where the wood-bine twinneth and the dew-berry don't.' THIS MOTTO in a little stronger words used to hang in many bar-rooms of the ancient ante-Velastad days. But it is, splendid lege. Always feel that you are as good as the other fellow, and be it; that you know as much as he and know it. I HATE to have to bring up the color question. It is already talked about too much but a few weeks ago a Jefferson High School Junior girl, a scholar scholar, and athlete, being the new captain of the East-Siders Base Ball Team, stopper school to go to work. Her application placed in a downtown store as maid had been answered sooner than she expected, so she had to take it at once or not at all. There's the injustice. A white girl can finish school, feeling sure of being able to get in an office, store or factory, but this little girl must give up her athletic career and educational opportunities. THE ENAMEL HUDHINS match with twenty pounds difference, should be a lesson to some of our colored boxers who start crying, every time they are offered a match with an opponent over their weight.

Doing fine too Two Big Mixed Bouts Soon At Olympic RENE DE VOS vs. JOHNYH GILL NEXT TUESDAY A fisticic dish is set by matchmaker "Wad" Wadhams and manager Silas Masters of the Olympic Auditorium but will certainly tickle the palate of His Royal Hishness, the American Sports man. The tentative lineup: March 19—Rene De Vos vs. Johnny Gill, 50 cents to $2. March 26—Bert Colina vs. Wilson Yarto, 50 cents to $2. April 2—Tod Morkan vs. Santiago Zorilla, $2 to $5 (for junior lightweight title). April 9—Oven. April 13—Ace Hudkins vs. Arman Emmanuel, Wrigley Field, $1 to $5. Now there is about a month of features, epics, titanics, etc., such as one would have to journey even farther than Miami to witness. Fans have not forgotten that busky colored battier Wattler Yarbo who returns to the Coast after a year. Last winter in his few appearances here he impressed the fans greatly and his boat with Coltina on the 25th will not only bring out that well known 2:00 oclock gallery line of Mexicans but will also bring many from Central Avenue and tributaries. ZORRILLA MAY BE CHAMPION Santiago Zorrilla that great little brown, fighting demon, gentleman, and bridegroom has endured so to the colored people as well as those of other nationalities here that all are pulling for him to win the junior lightweight title from Tod Morgan here on April 2nd. He really shaded Tod at their last glove feast in Frisco but the generous referee said draw and draw it stands. But the Demon returning from Panama well rested declares he will leave no question this time as to him winning. Johnny Gill the great veteran "Pop" Barret brought from the east recently made a big hit in his battle against Colima at the Olympic, is going to have a worthy opponent in, Rene De Vos. But Gill's experience should bring him out on top. Gill never picked an opponent, never fouled an opponent, and never would claim a victory on a foul, Berlenbach and Slattery, weighing 20 odd pounds heavier than Gill, could not drop Gill, and in two bouts with Walker, honors were divided. EMANUEL CLEVER Armand Emanuel call the "Jewish Jim Corbitt" is very clever but will have to use all is ring craft and strategy in spite of the advantage in weight to offset the jersey slugging of the leaping plunging wild-cat.

Crack Athletes Among the Lafayette Players Aside from their great ability as actors both of the serious heavy drama, and the lighter musical comedy, the Famous Lafayette Players now on a long engagement at the New Lincoln Theatre have several athletes in their number who could do themselves proud in their respective lines of Sports alone. Lawrence Criner, an Angeleno, was formerly a crack tennis player and has played the present national champion in Baltimore, Miss Evelyn Preer is said to be one of the country's best swimmers and was expected to enter the recent Caillin Channel swim, and Chas Olden is as good a boxer as man who follow it exclusively as was shown in "fs Zat So," when he boxed Zorrilla.

"Miss Warrender has attained considerable fame as a "sunt flyer." She is said to be the first woman flier to step from the wing of a plane to another in mid-air and to hang by her teeth from a moving airplane. She is credited with 35 parachute jumps. Unfortunately no colored girl has as yet qualified as an entrant.

Two rifle matches were held for the University of Southern California marksmen last week-end. Coed rifle artists also held a shoot this week-end, engaging in a telegraphic meet with the Oklahoma College for Women. WHITE WAY CLEANERS and DYERS Miami Beach, Fla., March 14. According to a recent interview given here, Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight champion of the world, and the promoter of the recent fight between Jack Sharkey and William Stribling, has got religion, and will hereafter, as a big time promoter, see to it that the Negro boxer get a chance at the big money and big honors, too. This information has leaked out in the course of a conversation regarding Dempsey's future. The former champion let it be known that he desires to fill the shoes of Tex Rickard as a big time promoter and that he believes he is specially fit for the big job. "I think I know how to deal with boxers," he asserted. "They are temperamental. The hard-boiled stuff doesn't go with them. Rickard had everything tied up because he knew the inside on everything. He turned all that knowledge over to me. "In the shows I intend to promote I am going to give Negro boxers—George Goffrey, for instance, a chance. When Godfrey was due to fight in Havana with Renault, I was the one who got him to call it off. In the future, I intend to keep my contracts with Godfrey, Sharkey, and other boxers, and promote. This country is ripe for a lot of outdoor shows and in the spring summer, autumn, and winter, I intend to stage them." This inside information from Dempsey will surprise many persons who still remember Harry Wills' ineffectual, though persistent, attempts to hire Dempsey into the ring with him. Dempsey's talk of a fight between Godfrey and Dempsey next summer has grown out of negotiations between Dempsey and Godfrey's manager to call off the Havana fight which would have injured Dempsey's show in Florida. The probability is that Dempsey has promised a stage a show next summer with Godfrey as one of the principals. Colored boxers who have served as sparing mates for Dempsey have been practically unanimous in their praise of his/fair treatment of them.

Friday, March 15, 1929 The Spo By 3500 people crammed their way into Ben Steiner's new fight arena at San Bernardino last Thursday night, to see Johnny Adams the Mountain Lion stage a successful comeback, Johnson the state boxing inspector said that fully 500 fans were turned away. All of the ring side and reserved seats were sold out a couple of days ahead of time and at 7 o'clock that night of the fight gallery seats were not to be bad. San Bernardino's new light house is plenty nice and can compete with any of the smaller clubs around Los Angeles. Johnny Adams the home sown favorite fought the main event with Charence Dumfian, a battling Irishman from Frisco way and the boys put up a slashing ten-round bout that sent the fans home talking to themselves. Jim Jeffries, former heavyweight champion and Billy Papke also a former champ along with Kid Francis the European Champ gave the big time at mosphere to the opening. Adams came into the ring a favorite to beat Dunvian and he lived up to exceptions. Johnny taking a ten-round verdict after ten rounds of real fighting. For the first four rounds it was pretty even, with the Mountain Lion as usual forcing the fighting and conesratting on a boly attack that told on the Irish lad at the end of the fight. In the fifth round things began to happen. Adams had rushed Dunvian across the ring and was giving him what Paddy gave the drum when Clarence let him have one of those long lefts square on the lug. Every one thought that Johnny was going to drop but Dunvian failed to follow up his lead and the Lion came back and was in danger for the remainder of the fight. From the fifth on it was pretty much the same with Johnny putting them in the bread basket with telling effect, and Dunvian trying to land with that deadly left or his. The tenth was a thriller. Adams demonstrated just why he is called the Mountain Lion. As the last canto started he rushed across the ring to make one last effort to lay the tough Frishman away but was not able to produce the old sleep giving punch. Adams is only 23 years old although he has been fighting nine years, and he says that he has enough in him to make a back that will put him up with the best 150 class, and from all indications it seems that he is sincere in his efforts to make a comeback; so keep an eye on the San Berdoo Mountain Cat. Baby Sal Sorial the hard hitting Mex tops the card, next week with Tony Russo of the East, and another full house is anticipated. Sal has won his last seven fights by the Kayo route and seems headed for the top for sure this time. Russo comes with the reputation of having never been off his feet, but if he gets in the path of that crushing right of Soria's it will be too bad. Up to date no one has been able to stand up under that six inch punch of the Babe's, and Tony does not look to be any different from the rest. They are calling Sal the San Benitoino Almir Clock show. The only difference is Sal and the regular clock is that the old Big Ben at home wakes them up and Soria puts them to sleep and no less. Baby Sal worked out eight rounds Saturday, and looked great. He is taking no chances with this Russo bird. Tony brings a pretty good record with him but the hard hitting. Mex should walk off with the cake if he is. TRADE AT THE PY 2602-2604 Cent We Operate Three If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened The only hitch that comes in fighting these unknown birds down here in the sticks is that somebody like Russie may stop Sal in a couple of cantos and then he would have to start all over again, as I is now Soria is sitting on top of the world as far as future matches are concerned, as he has a main event at the big House on Grand Avenue on the 26th. Kid Chocolate the battling black boy from Cuba came back to the U. S. and started his second invasion in the same fashion as he did his first, by a knock-on, over Phil O'Dowd of the east. All the eastern writers see a great future for this kid from Cuba. They claim that he has everything and knows how to use it like nobody's at fairs. He can box, he can hit, and do everything else required of a boxighter to get to the top. The only thing that can be counted against him is his liking for the bright light, of the street that breaks all that try to buck it—Broadway of the big town. If he can get over this weakness, he is a champ sure, is what these boys from the eastern coast write us. Y. M. C. A.

Following the final performance of "The Filled Sister" which will be given at the Lincoln Theater on Sunday night, the famous dramatic hit, "The Yellow Ticket" will be staged for one week by the famous Lafayette Players. An amateur play, consecutive seasons in New York and became the most talked of drama of the present decade, it is a powerful vehicle dealing with the persecution of Jews in Russia, and it tells a poignant, yet forceful story, of certain regulations and laws enforced by the Russian government, laws of one law that prohibits decent, respectable Jewish girls from leaving the settlement provided for them by the police; and of another law that furnishes women of the streets—prostitutes—with "Yellow Tickets"—permits to roam any of the large cities as will. MIAMI, Fla.—Upset Lad, owned by the Belle Isle stable, today won the first $10,000 added Florida Derby at Hialeah Park. Evelyn Preer appears in "The Yellow Ticket" as "Marya Varenka," a beautiful Jewish girl who is forced to apply to the police for a "Yellow Ticket" passport as the only means to visit her father who is dying. The story of now, after securing this symbol of indecency, Marya outwits the officers and gains possession of regular law-portrait passport, is added throughout the four startling acts of the drama. Edward Thompson will play Roloe, an American Journalist, who falls madly in love with Marya and seeks to help her escape from an inevitable imprisonment in Silbera after the police have discovered her deception in stealing another girl's passport. This is one of Thompson's most spectacular roles, and likewise Evelyn Preer's biggest characterization since "Rain." Laura Bowman is featured in a prominent part, and the cast of "The Yellow Ticket" also includes Lawrenceene, maries, Oden, Bebe Hawley, Patricia Patricia Monte Hawley, Sidney Kirkpatrick and Arthur Ray. BY: ARTIS N. WARD Of the Ward School of Aviation (Continued from Last Issue) When compared to the other means mentioned this total seems very small but, but, early days of these lines, military machines were converted to meet the demands of the commercial traffic. Planes capable of carrying only one, two and three passengers helped to build up this total. The few available figures which have been reported for the year 1926 indicate a marked increase in the number of passengers. This fact is due to three things—the growing knowledge of the public in general of the convenience and comfort of air travel; planes with greater load capacity making it possible to move a larger number of passengers approximately the same personnel as with the smaller planes and the development and construction of multi-engined planes whose factor of safety is much higher than the single engine planes previously used. Multi-engineed planes, capable of retaining their altitude on a fraction of their plants, are rapidly coming into use in all parts of the world today. The development of these planes has given the world the fastest method of transportation with maximum safety. The operator who now uses the single engine plane in passenger transportation is not offering to his passengers the best equipment he can obtain. It must not be thought, however, that all single engineed planes in passenger transportation are hazardous but in their use we find the percentage of unscheduled landings far more than where multimotorized planes, capable of retaining their altitude on less than their full horsepower developed, are used. "The Nation" in discussing a recent address of Chairman Sir Eric Geddes of the Imperial Airways where he emphasized the factor of safety by using multi-motorized planes said: "The Airways standard of maintenance he declared the 'highest in the world.' He even explained the company's unfavorable financial statement, which showed an operating loss of $108,500, by the notation that it was in considerable part due to the company's voluntary withdrawal from service of one-engine airplanes and their maintenance of greater power and capacity which insure greater safety. Although the single-engine planes were excellent, he said, they have been taken off in order to provide the public with a service established on the safety and reliability principles of British transport organizations." In the six years of operation, as shown in the tables above, there were only twenty-seven (27) casualties among passengers. The development of multi-motored planes gives to commerce a still greater assurance of safety and the proportion of casualties will be reduced. The first, regular passenger, land air transportation line in the United States were operated by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Air Service, between Philadelphia, Washington and Norfolk with multi-motored Fokker planes for the duration of the Sequestration period. They have announced, "that the public will use the airplane for transportation purposes when management is such as to inspire its confidence." In the period of their operations—less than five months—the safely carried 6,965 passengers over their routes. When we consider that in the seven years of air passenger traffic in Europe only twenty-seven (27) passengers were killed on the air lines reporting here, we cannot but be assured of the safety of air travel. Air lines, it must be remembered, do not coxer any commuting territory, all of which being rooftops connecting distant points. Passengers using the airplane for travel on these routes make one found trip every few weeks instead of every day as pointed out as being done on some of the other modes. With the airplanes, which have been used to make these totals being rapidly replaced with multi-engineed aircraft having even greater factors of safety it is difficult to understand why some insurance companies refuse to Motion Pictures Drama By LAWRENCE F.

Lawrence Criner, Cleo Desmond, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Monte Hawley, Laura Bowman and Malcolm Patton. The Lafayette Players again demonstrate their versatility by coming back after presenting the successful Musical Comedy Irene last week, and scoring heavily in a heavy dramatic number 'The Failed Sister.' Miss Evelyn Preer has the principal role as Molly O'Hara, the fallen sister. She has a large amount of space to do some things, but she does. There isn't anything much to about the story, save in a few spots. But this young lady warms your heart with her vivid portrayals of some very commonplace scenes. Mr. Edward Thompson, also comes in for some the portrayals. He changed slightly this week from his customary difficult roles to one of a bowyer bully. It carried a sligh trace of comedy, but it was good. J. Lawrence Criner, a truly remarkable actor has his usual role of the heavy. And how he succeeds in having himself hatred. Chas. Olden, popular little player falls to land a big part in this week's bill. For a big hand or his short appearance, he faces across big in her Irish characterizations. Miss Cleo Desmond also scores as the chief benefactress for the Fallen Sister. There are quite a few dramatic scenes between her and Miss Preer. Other dramatic moments were when Miss Preer, in a fit of reversionary rage, smashes a mirror, again where she suffers the same depression, starts to deluge herself with liquor and is only stopped when a halo is showp above the picture of the Madona. Others who assisted in making the play a success were Sidney Kirkpatrick, Monte Hawley, Bebe Townsend, Malcolm Patton and little Miss Beverly Hill Curtain. The Kentucky Club To Have High-Class Premiere Opening The Avenue's newest Nite Club, The Kentucky Club, located at 2220 Central Avenue opens tonight in a blaze of glory. Taken from indications occasioned by the heavy reservation list, it appears that the opening will eclipse any former Premiere. Located in the heart of Negro business activities, it seems beyond a doubt that this club will succeed. Attractively situated a stone's throw from the popular Lincoln Theatre, it will prove a most profitable drawing card for Central Avenue. Carpenters, furnishers, and decorators have made the bulling one of the most attractive on the Avenue. The management, Mr. Win, (Bill) Bolden, has procured some of the best entertainers procurable; for his patron, Miss Milda Washington, who has an aptly risen to fame will head a heat and peppy revue of beautiful girls. The principals assisting her are: Pauline Jones, song bird; Mary Richards, toeancer; John Jackson, tap dancer; Norvelle Reese, Tenor Blues singer and Claudie Collins, Master of G ceremonies. The music for the dancing is being provided by Paul Howard's Quality Serenaders. The kitchen is being supervised by Mr. Jack Penn, a most efficient chef. As we go to press, it looks like a turnaround night. permit their policy holders to fly in airplanes, or if permitting them to ride, to place them under penalty of an increased premium. There are insurance companies which have refused insurance to those in the aircraft industry or have asked such exorbitant premiums that it is prohibitive. There is a misunderstanding which should be corrected. Prior to January 1st, 1927, in the United States there were airplanes flying which were not constructed according to any given standards or which were not capable of safe performance, but on that date the United States Department of Commerce. Pictures Drama ENCE F. LAMAR King Vidor to Make Another All-Colored Cast Picture for M. G. M. Rumor has it that King Vidor, able director of 'Hallelujah, an all-Colored cast M. G. M. super him, is to make another following the release of 'Hallelujah.' Many of the picture players along the poverty row will appreciate the truth of this rumor. Following the completion of 'Hearts in Dixie' and several other all-Coloreo cast films, and the recent cutting down of the 'Hallelujah' extra list, pickings haven't been the best for the boys. There has been some tough breaks. NEW SHOW FOR ADELAIDE HALL Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" may run along forever, but Adelaide Hall, the star, is not scheduled to keep on flying with the rest of the "birds" according to a report from the Leslie business office. Mr. Leslie states that he has bought the rights to a musical version of "White Carzo," and that he will star Miss Hall in the role of Tendeleo, the chief female character, who was satirized in one or Earl Dancer's productions. Leslie does not say whether the rest of the cast will be white or colored, his only choice so far being that of Miss Hall for the leading role. It seems that there is going to be some difference of opinion in regard to "Hearts in Dixie," the Fox movie tone production, starring Step N. Fetchit, which opened on Broadway last week. This is the all-talking and singing picture for which Charles Gilpin was first employed to play the leading role. After Gilpin was let out, a wrestler by name of Reid was given the spot, but apparently failing to make good, Clarence Muse was sent for. New York critics are covering the production with high-powered adjectives, attesting its worth and differentness. But they are the critics of the dailies. The colored critics for the play warm in their reception of the play, but they world seem to be important inasmuch as the picture is built around Negro life and the cast is composed of Negroes. One colored critic suggests in his observations that the Fox people have put a makeshift vehicle which was rushed to beat Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "Halleenjaat" to it. It will be interesting to see what opinions are after more persons have had the opportunity to see and hear the picture. Mordaunt Hall, the New York Times, writes: "The spirit of the Southern Negro of a year or so after the Civil War is cleverly captured in 'Hearts in Dixie: a delightful Movie-tone production that was presented by William Fox last night at the Galey Theater. It is something that is restful, a talking and singing production that is gentle in its mood and truthful in its reflection of the black men of those days down yonder in the cornfields. Going to see it after hearing the spiked melodies of modern times is an hour of peace, but at the same time, it is an entertainment that keeps one's eyes wide open through every scene." through Secretary MacCracken, commenced to license aircraft according to a standard of design and construction as laid down by the Department. With the United States Government supervising, by regulation, the design and construction of aircraft; with the use of multi-engine aircraft by responsible operators of passenger lines; with facilities for aviation furnished by the government; with continuous improvements in aeronautical design; with more and/better landing fields; with more detailed weather reports—air transport in the United States should take a recognized place as one of the standard transportation methods—safe, reliable and commercial.

CHICAGO LINES CUT SCHEDULE TO NORWEST The Pacific Northwest and Chicago will be brought five hours closer by rail this summer. The four large railroads operating through the northwest territory have announced reductions in their operating schedules to become effective next summer. Three of the roads, the Chicago Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific, the Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific made their announcement the early part of the week as a sequel to the Great Northern's of last Saturday. The Great Northern says it will cut five hours from its schedule and the other roads expect to meet the schedule of the competing lines. HEARD AND SEEN AMONG THE PULLMANITES The ever-popular Mr. L.

Mrs. Mable R. Dodge, Pullman Mald, who has ben in service of the company for the past three years, has been advised by her physician to leave the road service for an indefinite period, during her period or service Mrs. Dodge, built an upert record with the company and it was with regret that her service was terminated. Mrs. Dodge wishes to extend to the many porters and waiters on the many runs that she was identified with them on especially the Cascade Limited, her many thanks for the courtesies extended her on the many trips. Mrs. Dodge may be reached at 1285 Pacific street, San Francisco, California. Mrs. Ella Greer returned from Chicago, Thursday, having accompanied the Hoover Special to that city, a Chicago Maid completing the trip to Washington. Charles Schwab, of New York, asked a Pullman Porter on a recent trip, what was the average tip, the Porter replied $1.00—Schwab fell for it and gave that amount (Note: This was Heard, Not Seen). The Los Angeles Examiner still advocates a non-stop run between Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. Also trains to the East with solid through Pullmans.

Desper leaves the cool breezes of the West Coast Limited and drops to the Desert, with the Argonaut, Rays Mr. Von Priest Henderson, Mr. Davis, Mr. Brody, Walter Lennigan and We had our usual meeting in the interest of colored Americans in Springfield, near the resting place of Abraham Lincoln. Senator Lorimer was present, and after listening carefully to the meeting he got up and made a speech. "For the first time tonight the conviction has possessed me that the colored people of this country need a fighting organization. I think I have been friendly to colorize people's rights all my life. But now I see clearly that the job cannot be done for them by white people alone, however friendly. We can help. I am taking a ten-dollar membership in this organization. "Frankly, there are many white people who do not want you to lift up your heads. They do not understand. "In this movement you are really on the road to freedom. Think of what your grandparents would have given even for physical: freedom; they would easily have given a year of their life. Suppose they had been told: You can be free, but you must give one year of your life for it," that would have seized it with a shout. Now you are offered advancement toward freedom, real freedom, for the payment of a few paltry dollars. Think of it! You still ought to be willing to give a year of your life or all you could earn in a year, to further the freedom of your children and your race. "As the speaker has said, you ought to pile up a million dollars to fight for your legal rights, alone,—and if you had the million dollars, in most cases, you would not have to fight,—for the enemy would know that you are ready and would not fight a useless fight against your rights. You would win most of the battles by simply being fully prepared for them. A big treasury would be a sort of economic prevention method for you. "There are friends who will help you, if you are doing the job, but do not hope nor expect that the white race will save you. The white races have been almost, perhaps altogether, as terrible and unjust to each other as they have been to you. "There are friends who will help 'Never before had I realized that a progressive organization that goes into things, is absolutely necessary for you.' That is very good for Senator Lorimer,—but the great need is that the Negroes should see their own interest as clearly as he sees it. Just as it will do the Negro no good to sit and "waite" on the slow justice of another race, so it will not help the Negro for some white men to see what he needs, if the Negro is still asleep.

Worthy as its president. SOCIAL AND OTHERWISE The N. A. A. C. P. is planning a very interesting means of raising its district assessment. All are requested to be at the Mass Meeting Friday, March 15th. The Missionary Society of the G. M.

THOSE WHO ARE ILL Mr. John Paxion is reported very ill at his home, 2019 Fourth street. Mr. Paxion is well known as an active Real Estate man in this city and elsewhere—We hope for his speedy recovery. Mr. Jerome Edwards, of Delaware avenue, who has been fill for sometime, is improving. ALONG THE BEACH Well, quite a little wind and rain to end off a good week and start another—March comes in like a lion and goes out like a geneal lamb. Spring won't be long either—get out the old,耐旱 and molasses! Our great protective association, the N. A. A. C. P., is putting on popularity contest, as a means of raising District programs. That's a good idea! People wanted to know, who the most popular person is around these parts for some time. Any way the one who has "TT" gets a trip to Cleveland, programs. Not so bad—but who will it be? If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You Ma. Never Know It Happened This week it's a toast to our new president, Mr. Hewlett Hoover: "May he prove as successful in the undertakings of this new administration with as much interest in the Norge race as did our ex-president, Mr. Calvin Coolidge." And now Felvin Coolidge is report; to be on his way home to Massachusetts and embark on a final quest the quant authorities had ordered it with more funny stories and dry wit than any public man in many years. This typical Coolidge story went around the other day—probably the list or the famous anecdotes connected with his White House days: Mr. Coolidge looked out the window at leisure after, on awakening at his annual hour, A. M. Then he is reported to have said to Mr. Coolidge: "Well, it looks like it always rains on moving day." THE SECOND BAPSTIST CHURCH The Second Baptist Church was unpopular well attended last Sunday with an enormous audience of about three hundred which is doing well for a community of approximately six hundred. Rev. J. B. Brannon, pastor, prescheduled an inspiring sermon, and with the help of the choir, reached the hearts of several present in bringing them to God. Many contests and campaigns have been sponsored, lately by the church in order to raise a sufficient sum of money to pay the church debt for their services. A successful so far in collecting almost half of the huge amount. The "Invincible Quartet," of Conrad College, Conrog, Texas, rendered a program sponsored by the Second Baptist Church's campaign last Thursday evening. Members of the church are making a concerted effort to clear the church debt. The Bon amis GM Reserve Club met last Sunday afternoon in the Y. W. C. A. cigh room. Eight members were present and all expressed their regret that their advisor, Miss F. G. Andrews would not be with them again for a few months as she will be in Los Angeles during that time. Miss Dorothy Fagan gave a very interesting speech on our race concert hero, Mr. Spalding Hayes, and this started a very much enjoyable discussion on race problems that exist. The Astilbe Fund is increasing rapidly and the G. R.'s are wondering who will the lucky ones or ones be to go galloping in the race. The most business this meeting concerned the Bon amis' big social event to be held the first of next month. It will be a real treat for both young and old; will be an Allanbridge Benefit function. That is all that can be told an yat, but all are warned to look forward to it. The Pacific Coast Club, which is a club formed by several of the popular male employees of the Pacific Coast Club, gave a midnight supper and dance at the South Los Angeles County Club last Thursday night for the members and their friends. Everyone about the club is now wondering why a certain young man always is confronted with a "Hey Ho" from his friends. When asked, he always blushes and says he does not know. I'll tell you this is certainly some mystery to unravel. What could be better than calling Mrs Grace Humbard and Mrs. Grace Bradley "Me and My Shadow"? Every time you see one, you see the other. We would like to know how a certain maid, Mrs. Eliza Ramsey Washington, caught such a severe cold this week. However, we certainly admire her spirit in working right on and not going to bed like most; little frat dames do. We also wish her success in her immediate recovery. Despite all the great number of events happening in the past few weeks—presidential inauguration in Mexican Revolution and Lisbonberg—the nation as a whole is turning its thoughts to the most beautiful season of the year—Easter. Programs and peanuts are under way—and the little ones smile in their sleep as they dream of "bunnyies" and basket of colored eggs—but, mid the symbol and show, let not the true and holy meaning of this season be forgotten. There is a lot said about the labor situation—but not much done. In general though, it seems that the fellows who are concerned in their seeking are all right. There are others who talk about work—but will run if they see it coming their way! A man must not live in fear of the laws if he is doing right—a word to things concerned is efficient. Don't try to wear the shoe if it pinches. lift it. he is some right — word to hand; concerned — sufficient. Don't try to wear the shoe it it pinches. Ah, what's this! The Junior N. A. C. C. P. is making a dying start—they put it in to raise their charter money with a "real" footshaker on April the twelfth. They say it's going to be a peculiar bargain dance too!

PICO & CENTRAL The various candidates for the mayoralty and dry council, should be scanned closely. (By their Fruits we shall know them). In this situation the dress can be separated and none but the purse in heart will be able to stand. The campaign promises to be the greatest municipal contest in the history of Los Angeles. With nigh unto a dozen mayoralty candidates already in the field it cannot help from so being. The Greer for Mayor headquarter has opened up in full bloom on the 3rd floor of the Chester Williams Building, and everything indicates the Greer partisan has no other intention than to bring the bacon home. The political parasites are much in evidence as the contest is about to open and many of the uninified are due for a trimming. Fake newspapers are also appearing on the scene all cocked and primed to clean the suck- Our Hor Pie man gave two councilmen a break and they refused to take advantage of the very thing they were in dire need; henceforth they will march with the other soldiers or not march at all as seems to their pleasure. McGuire headquarters in the California building is a scene of political activity with Mr. Evans in charge as manager and Mr. Duffy publicity man. Hugh McGuire will no doubt receive a good support from all classes. He is known as the people's friend. A Goodly number of citizens turned out in response of an invitation from C. S. Bledgett on last Monday evening in the Blodgett Building to meet Mr. Hugh McGuire, one of the leading candidates for mayor. Councilman Snapper Ingram is quite busy getting around among his constituents and looking after his fences at this particular time. We have been looking for Wood Wilson and his Eastside organization for it was a real live wire organization in days gone by. Smith for mayor with the first headquarters opened on the Eastside, starts off like a boroughhread. Jim Alexander says look out for him. The wise ones say look out for Bollitt, doughy president of the city council. We hear the echo as the word is passed on down the line. We shall see what we see. A. PHILIP RANDOLPH THRILLS An unusually large crowd attended the Mass Meeting at the Second Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon to hear A. Philip Randolph deliver the keynote address opening the American Negro Labor Conference, held in our City under the auspices of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Labor Conference Citizens Committee.

A "hoooood" must be on Mr. Sebastian Silva, or maybe he is just running into plain bad luck this year. Not long ago Silva lost the contents of his wallet and, his waist to hold up men, and the other evening, returning from work he was forced to take a mud bath very close to the asphalt. Silva's clothes were ruined, his collar, bone wrenched, and he came near losing his sense of humor. Mud bath may be all they are cracked up to be, but not midnight. Mr. Willis Fudley may have made that little jent to Frisco not long ago inebhard of family affairs, but from all indications he and his running mate really made "whooopee". When good fellows get together, or we should say, when "Foxes" to torreer, they manage to have a rather keen time. Ask Dudley, the knows.

And yet there is no purpose to make a wholesale indictment of them as we look out upon them. Those seeking the highest good for themselves and society, are simply dissatisfied with themselves and the imperfections that abound anywhere in the world. Pinding fault is futile. It gets us nowhere. The men and women who have made possible the glorious land in which we live, planting the seed which has made possible the harvest we reap today, did not find fault with the physical condition which they faced. The timbered hills and valleys were there. They simply set to work and cleared them and used the timber for fuel. Wherever men and women live, whether in Eden or one in the making, they are always faced with the problem of care and attention. The life men and women live today is not being lived in a moral wilderness, neither are we in the Millenium, that "far off divine, event, toward which the whole creation moves." For are we if that period in between the two, termed the "Dark Ages" once again. Looking out over the world, we see that ignorance is disappearing, and superstition dying. Nations are knowing each other better, and defending more and more on one another. The world is setting down to more food and getting more work done with less pain than ever before. Medical science is spreading its healing power farther than ever before. The radio is bringing to one's very doors things little dreamed of. It is carrying religion to folk who have said and even thought that they were thru with it. With all these advantages which are ours, we are still wandering in a wilderness with the promised land ahead. We look into the face of a pleasure man world, where the essential thing is lost in a mind scramble to have a good time. "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die," is the slogan as we wander around in the whiterness. I may not be able to point the way out. I may not know what is best for us as we go our fast and merry way. Well we ask, "Who is sufficient for these things?" Et. I, do believe that the Bible contains the words that will point the way before us and meet every need of the present crisis, Martin Luther, found the truth for his day in the Bible. John Knox found it there for Scotland, and Wesley for England. These men sleep with the ruthers. We cannot have them; but we can have some light from Gol's word. A study of history gives us to know that mighty movements have centered about some one great and impassioned utterance. The old monk of Wittemberg turned back the pages of his Bible and said, "The just shall live by faith." "No taxation without representation," brought the colonists to arms. "We cannot exist long as a nation, half slave and half tree," brought the forces of the Union in a death grample with seceding states. "Make the world safe for democracy," was the cry that sent the sons of America into the mealstom of the World's War. And yet I know of no cry that goes deeper or reaches farther, than those words that burst upon us from the Old Testament, and shoot their rays directly into our faces, as they center in a tremendous crisis in the life of Israel: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches; But let him that glorified in his in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord, which exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth; for in these things do I delight, saith the Lord." However wise, however powerful, however rich one may be, whatever rank or station one may fill the one compelling need of the life of men and of the world is to put that which ought to be first, first, and that is to THE MUSEUM PLEASANT HILL BAPTIST CHURCH Of which Rev. W. H. Rozier, D. D.; is the popular past know God. Know Him. Not simply to believe Him and in Him, but to know intimately the living God. Know him as hungrily and as compulsively as a man knows his wife or child, or the daughter her mother, or the son his father. This is the most vital thing in our life today. As the panthean pastel after the water brooks, so panthean my soul after thee, O God," the words that sounded the dearest pathos of the human soul. When a man has landed the feet of his soul firmly on the living God back of this universe and pregnant thru it, and then in sheer abandon has thrown his heart arms around the living God, he has gained that knowledge which will hold him steady in the midst of the fury of his storms. When St. Paul declared in triumph, "I know whom I declared in triumph," he had attained that victory and freedom` which is the right and possession of every man born in the image of God. Upon this platform all men of whatever clime or children of God and brothers beloved, race may meet, finding themselves. The first thing in life is an experimental knowledge of God, which leads itself to personal intimacy with Him, and compels me each day to make my life a distributing center of loving-kindness, righteousness, and constructive justice, to all whom God in his infinite mercy may permit me to touch. This is the first cause of rejoicing, and is the way out of our wilderness. "So many gods; so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind, While just the art of being kind, Is what this sad world needs. Local Race Student Victorious in Arizona Debate BY: LLOYD C. GRIFFITH Mr. Edwin Jefferson, student of law and a foremost debater at the University of Southern California, traveled to Tucson, Arizona, last Thursday evening where he met the celebrated University of Arizona debaters and was given highest honors by unanimous decision of the judges for individual presentation. The debatable question was: "Resolved, That the plea of temporary insanity in defense of crime should be prohibited by law." The question was vigorously contested. Edwin Jefferson and Leo Harris uphold the affirmative in behalf of the Trojan institution. The Tacson Daily Citizen of March 9, 1929, said or Mz Jefferson: "For the first time at the University of Arizona, a Negro appeared last night in a debate. He was Edwin Jefferson of the University of Southern California. He was declared by many perhaps the abler speaker of the visitors." The Colored debater," the article further stated, "considering the fervor with which he presented his plea, might more properly have been named 'Webster', Hayne', or some of the other great orators. It was said of Jefferson by many that he presented his side or the question more ably than his debating partner. Conviction characterized his speech and at times his words could not come fast enough as he hurried to crowd in his points." It is a noteworthy achievement for himself as well as for all Rape students of the local University that Jefferson has religiously devoted his time, talent, and energy three consecutive years as a member of the Trojan squad to develop the art of forceful and effective debating to the extent that he should be chosen not only to things, viz.: Information and Direction.

S. C. to travel to another state to engage in intercollegiate debate. Professor Alan Nichols, the eminent debate coach of Troy, the author of his own "Theory of Practical Debatism," whose teams enjoy international respect and a dignified place in the forensic world, and himself a powerful, commanding speaker, is entitled to a wealth of appreciation because of the persona interest he has given Jeccerson; because he has disbarred the barriers which naturally besought him to keep Jefferson in a place of relative inferiority among his squad; and because, finally, he has established with his own Colored protege, a new landmark: one to which Jefferson's successors at U. S. C., if any there truly be, are perforce constrained to be cognizant, and one for the which debate coaches in this entire Pacific region will, no doubt, give due consideration and regard.

Lizzie Ford, and I stopped in at the home of the Jeanning's on Adams street a Sunday or so ago, as we wont to do occasionally, and found the madame busily engaged in getting a basket of provisions together for that poor family who had the misfortune to not only be burned out of house and home, but also lost two children in the fire not long ago. Our hearts bled as we were pressed into the service of transporting her husband with the provisions and to do the temporary home of the sufferers. It was a scene we shall never, forget. Tears of joy trickled down the cheeks of the mother of that destitute family, and as we too joined Brother Jennings in placing in the home of that distracted mother something aside from a healthy hand shake, we bowed our head and offered a silent prayer. "Truly," said Lizzie as she carted us back to our starting point. this portion of the day has been well spent. John Bates is dead. An auto furnished part of the setting that cost him his life. Five hasty detectives thirsty for Negro blood under the guises or law and order furnished the balance of the setting. For five years Justice has been struggling to, in a measure compensate the widow. The courts have done their part. Well, the police and fire commissions should now do their's. If so, the four remaining officers will be dismissed. . . . Were you so fortunate as to have a business or social engagement last Saturday nite? If so, you were also quite fortunate if you got back home, particularly if your point of destination was Watts. Didn't know the heavens when excited could concentrate and deposit so much water in one locality. Honest folks when Henry and I got together with the folks in the back seat finally arrived at what should be and is considered Watts, the only evidence visible was chimney tops and here and there a roof. The only automobile to survive the flood (and that is what it was) was Watts. Every other type of auto succumbed, mattered not what the name be. If a Pierce, Stude, Locomobile or whatnot. Took us 1 hour to go and 1 hour 45 minutes to return. That is some record for a 4 mile trip. Friend Bratlan, Mgr. of the Somerville has worked down or up to a Ford. We don't know which. Philip Randolph, the Sun, Moon and Star of the labor movement to organize the Railroad boys had automobiles rolling his way last Sunday. He spoke at the 2nd Baptist Church to a large audience and proved to be an improvement upon himself. While attempting to drain our gas tank by mororing about, we passed a sign on McKinley Ave, which read: "SUSANNE—perched very conspicuously and artistically on the front of the premises. Inquiry brought on the fact that it was Suzanne Thwaites, the podisthe, who is again in town and business after several months' absence. The Dodge said to the Studebaker the other day: "Say! did you read about the great state park held by the Iowa's at Lincoln Park a few Sundays ago? The newsletters amongst other things seated there were 100,000 present and Long Beach was depopulated. Up spoke the Studebaker Coupe: Long Beach has been credited with Dodge, leave me tell you something. Long Beach has been credited with having more churches to the square inch than any other town this side of heaven and too, more prejudice to the square inch than any other city in the State. Judging from this, it looks like Iowa, quite likely robbed Georgia and north of its long established honors. Well, Dodge, it was depopulated on the day lowans held their state picnic, but candidly speaking, I don't believe the depopulation of Long Beach had anything to do with a 100,000 attendance at Lincoln Park. In fact it's an insult to the late Senator Foraker who did so much in Congress for the Negro and his great state of Iowa." Just then their owners came out of the Golden State and drove them home. "Have you noticed Central Avenue lately?" asked A. Hartley Jones of the Liberty. "Time was when you couldn't see Pierce Arrows, Lincoln, Packards and Cads for so many Fords and Cheveys. Now you can't see the later for the former. In fact a Ford or Chevy is a curiosity. He stated, as he himself a former Ford customer, headed his smart looking Essex coupe south to join his waiting wife at home. We are wondering why the dancing king known as "Stepin Fetcht" has discarded his rear end sign on the Cad, hired a chauffeur and now reposes 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 vacancy of 41st and Central constantly, fenders all dented, and paint missing in places* real life can be imitated. The cool automobile dued to its present status by abuse. Too good a lack and too much money invested to hang around a conspicuous If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened (Eitorial by Alex Thompson, Jr.) Fitness, physical, mental and moral, depends fundamentally on health. This means not only the avoidance of diseases and defects but positive abundant health—prime condition of mind an body. Every young man in America, to be worthy of the heritage left him by the heroes of the battlefield should know the laws of physical and mental efficiency and live up to them. Keeping fit for America's task in the new world is the present obligation on every youth of the land. To be really physically fit is not enough to be tree from disabling defects. Many men were rejected from the army simply because of "poor physique." You must be in good general condition all the time if you want to win out. To achieve the maximum of physical and mental efficiency you must adopt three common sense measures. The first of these is sufficient exercise of the right kind. Reading the sporting page, yelling in the grandstand and watching the baseball bulletin boards may be enjoyable, but will never make a man vigorous. He must himself take daily exercise. Hiking, baseball, rowing, swimming and canoeing, skating in the open air, tennis, team games, general gymnasium work, boxing and wrestling where the air is fresh, are among the most beneficial forms of exercise. Any useful work using the big muscles actively is as good as sports. Your daily exercise should be vigorous enough to cause you to perspire freely. This helps the body to throw off certain waste products which, if allowed to accumulate, wil act as poisons. After exercising take a shower, because a shower is better than a bath tub. A bath and a rube down should produce a healthy glow of the body and a general feeling or well being. Second, sleep in the fresh air, work as much as possible, and be sure to have the indoor air kept fresh during the day. Fresh air is almost a cureall. It is usually more valuable than any quantity of medicine. In the third pace you need at least eight hours' sleep every night—how many really get eight hours' sleep regularly? A man can get along with less but he cannot keep himself in the best possible physics and mental condition. If you can possibly keep from doing it, do not lie in bad after waking, but jump out, bathe, and dress immediately. CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS Friendship Baptist—Pastor, Rev.

NO CHARGE OF ANY KIND If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA —You May Never Know It Happened "I am basing my candidacy on the record I have made in representing the Tenth District," said Councilman Ingram. "During the two years I have served the people records show standards of living have been raised, traffic congestion relieved, and street improvements obtained without any special assessments. I have been vigorously opposed to overlapping assessments and mean to fight them vigorously." Councilman Ingram is a member of the American Legion, the Elks, and the Masonic Order and has the support of the Church and civic bodies in this district, his supporters say. M. Recently there has gone out through the entire civilized land, from America to Europe, and even to Asia a great storm or protest against the organized ignorance of the public concerning the so-called "unmenionable" subjects which are materially affecting the physical and moral well being of the human race. Freely, we discuss diphtheria, its causes, prevention, and cure. And as a result the death rate therefrom has decreased marvelously. Openly, and without dissembling, we talk of smallpox, its revages and the prophylactic action of vaccination. Thus this once mighty scourge has been reduced to a relatively mild infection, with a proportionately small death rate. So it is that thru knowledge and thru public that a myriad of general diseases have had their terror decreased, and the fury of their revages abated. FORMED A LEAGUE WITH: IGNORANCE But syphilis and gonorrhoea have formed a league with ignorance to bind the people in their spell until all civilization is infected and securely fastened in their clutches. On investigation we find that the increase of syphilis and gonorrhoea in civilized countries within the past few centurions has been alarming. It is stated that one out of every eight persons in France has syphilis. According to a report of the U. S. Navy "sphilis and gonorrhoea appear among the six leading causes of sickness and of debility among all dieseases. In cases but as a cause of sick days, and syphilis stool second among all accuses of disability as expressed by sick days". With these facts before us it is not With an enviable record of having kept every campaign promise made, Councilman E. Snapper Ingram today appealed to the Colored Voters of the Tenth Councilmanic District for their support at the Primaries, May 7th. Overlapping assessments have been eliminated, police and fire protection improved, and living conditions in general elevated during Mr. Ingram's term in office, according to leading colored taxpayers in this district. hard to agree with Dr. J. G. Royse, "that syphilis is the worst disease pleague of humanity, and one of which it is no exaggeration to say that it truly threatens the very existence of the human species." Is it strange then that in view of such facts, that great men and women all over the country are devoting time and effort to the pulling off of the cover and of placing the discussion of gonorrhoea right along beside the discussion of other infectious and contagious diseases. It is notable that Dr. George Parrish of our own Health Department is taking a leading role in this city and writing freely in language intended for the education of the laity on this tremendously important subject. It is the strong language used by Dr. Parrish in discussing gonorrhoea and syphilis. "In the first place", he says, "a FALSE SENSE OF MODESTY prevents the free discussion or these cases by both the health authorities and the NEWS PAPERS. This being the case behind closed doors. The dilefult results of these diseases should be made plain to every young man and woman. They should be told these things in simple understandable language. NOTHING SHOULD BE HIDDEN. The doors must be opened; the lights turned on; and a general EDUCATIONAL campaign started which will inform the public of the cause, the spread, and the devastating effects of these most dreadful of all human ills. Syphilis does share toward filling the insane asylums; it leaves millions deformed and maimed. Gonorrhoea is responsible for much of the blindness in the world. It is also the direct cause of a large part of the surgery done on women. Sterility is traced to both diseases. A woman generally pays when she contracts gonorrhoea. "All fear diphtheria, none fear syphilis, and yet the latter is a Scourge compared to the former." compared to the former." So as we talk on this, and other "forbidden" subjects, we with the foregoing notables men and women feel that the end justifies the means used, and make no apology for 'speaking plainly. When we tear the mask of "say-nothin-about-me" from syphilis and gonorrhoeas, as we shall do in the talks' which will follow, and they ap NEW YORK, N. Y., March 20. (By The Associated Negro Press) From across the North River on the Jersey side comes the scandal brought to light by Dr. F. L. Golden, a white columnist of the Jersey Journal, which has resulted in the suspension of a Police Lieutenant and a Grand Jury investigation of the charges preferred against him by a colored woman, Mrs. Doris Geter. So caustic was the editorial that the police immediately took a hand. Investigation revealed a cordial story resulting in charges against the lieutenant, a married man with a record of thirteen years police service. Not the least startling high spots of the testimony was revealed when it became known, that, although the attempted assault occurred sometime Christmas and New Year's, and both Lieutenant Frank Meehan and Captain Edward O'Connor had full knowledge of the incident, neither of them had reported it, either to Inspector Phillip Leonard, in command of the inspection district or to Chief of Police Battersby or to Commissioner Beggans. The testimony revealed that on this uncertain date, Mrs. Geter and her husband, who reside at 24 Edge Avenue, an argument early in the morning. The woman, who is the mother of two children and about to bear another, declares she was struck by her husband, Rushing out of the house she went to the Police Station to swear out a warrant against Mr. Geter. Arriving at the station, she was met by Lieutenant Dugan, the officer now under suspension, who questioned her on the case, Dugan, Mrs. Geter says, listened to her story. She declared she did not want her husband arrestel, merely wanted him scared so he would not strike her again. Several men sitting around are alleged to have heard the story. pear in the hideous forms which honestly are theirs, then young men and young women will not be so quick to yield themselves as ready victims to these two deadly enemies who yearly claim their thousands—because, IGNORANCE has been used as a symbol for INNOCENCE and FALSE MODESTY a symbol for VIRTUE. Commissioner Beggans, constructing the case questioned Mrs. Geter. She told how, after being informed that she could get no redress against her husband at that station as she should have gone to another, the lieutenant, who was sitting behind the desk, walked out in front of the desk to where she was standing. The cops left the room in the meantime. The police officer then told her she was "a nice girl," and that "he couldn't see how her husband could do anything like that." The lieutenant, according to the young woman's signed statement, attempted to make a date with her. She testified that she told the man she was not in the habit of making dates with men. The desk officers, she stated, then told her to "come to the back room; I want to talk to you." Mrs. Geter described the "back room", which was Captain O'Conner's private office, containing a couch and clothes lockers, Here, Mrs. Gater says, Lieutenant Dugan subjected her to familiarities and indignities. He stopped when two officers entered the station. Mrs. Geter then declared she forced her way out or the office into the front room where she fled to her home. Arriving there, she found her husband asleep, but he woke when she entered the room. She told her husband the story and immediately he took her back to the station house, where he threatened to beat up the Lieutenant. The latter then order Geter held for creating a disturbance. The police officer denied any attempts at familiarity with Mrs. Geter and sought to placate the frate husband. But, when he found nothing could be done in this manner, he went into conference with two other officers who advised the holding of the pair. It had been previously reported that Gilbert Brown, under of Mrs. Geter, a city employee and Democratic leader in Jersey City had been called to settle the affair by offering his niece money and sending her away on a trip. Brown is on the city pay-roll at a salary of $4,000 a year. In his statement, Dr. Golden asserts that Brown was called in to see the woman and asked to exert his influence in having her withdraw the charges she started to prefer. He had no knowledge of the woman's identity until he arrived at the station house. Both Brown and Geter deny that any money was spent to hush the matter, however, investigators have the case in hand and are going forward with their work on the case. All concerned are prominently identified with colored Jersey City society. Brown being Mayor Hague's right hand man in the colored districts. Lieutenant Dugan is married and Friday, March 15, 1929 The Labor Conference idea is practically a new one for our people. It appears that the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Labor Conference Citizens Committee has struck a note that is going to become very popular among our group. The method of selecting experienced individuals to assemble together and discuss intelligently subjects relating to our interest and welfare with the idea of drawing therefrom certain rules and principles to be used in our programs of development seems to offer a splendid outlook for successful achievements. As a means also of focusing the attention, or various groups upon the problems of the workers in general and certain movements in particular, this method is again very objective. The response of Los Angeles generally to the Labor Conference Program is an indication that we have reached the stage where we can intelligently consider and direct our forces toward organization and group.

PHILIP RANDOLPH GREAT ASSET TO THE RACE The Pullman Porters movement is not only destined to be a great thing for the Pullman Porters by the winning by this organization of a Charter in the American Federation of Labor begins a new era for all workers of our race, and we are practically all workers. The Accompailments of this organization through their General Organizer, A. Philip Randolph, not only benefits all of our people in this way, but in another important manner. Mr. Randolph personally is proving a benefit to the race. He has made three speeches since coming to our City before white audiences in each of which he stressed the justice and necessity of our people being given a fair deal with regard to matter of employment. These speeches before the Friday Morning Club. The Laymens Forum of the Unitarian Church, and the City Club were all very favorably received, and if the enthusiasm expressed at the conclusion of each speech is any indication, the influence of these organizations will hereafter be on the side of justice and fair play our people.

Mr. Knox is still striving to have the best Sunday School in the City, and the membership is increasing every Sunday. The 11 O'Clock services were very good. The pastor gave a very interesting lecture using for his subject, "Opportunity." This was a wonderful lesson and so well outlined by the pastor. Points were so clearly demonstrated to us that we readily saw where we were neglecting many opportunities when we could do good to those that are less fortunate than we are. In many of the beautiful expression used by the Pastor, this one noticed particularly, "What ever your talent is, use it to the best of your ability and knowledge. Do not feel because you can't dig the big things you think the other fellow is doing, your efforts are invain, but do the very best with your talent and your reward will be just as great." The B. Y. P. U. had their regular period, with the president presiding. The lesson was review by our visiting friend and borer, Mr. Brown. The review was very brief and full of information. 7:40 brought us to our closing services for the day. The weather being still disagreeable, made our congreation some what small, but intense interest was shown through out the services. After the services the Pastor announced the doors ajar and one came forward and united with us Mrs. Flemings was a former member and is now renewing her covenant & comes to resume her former duties of the church, and we welcome her. The Junior Church is progressing nicely and the Pastor is working earnestly and patiently with the youngsters. There will be usual services at our church. We are expecting a large crowd. There will be baptising also. Every one is invited to attend our services and know in cordial welcome awaits you in Macaulia. GRANT CHAPEL A, M. E. CHURCH REV. T. F. JONES, Pastor The inclementy of the weather kept a portion of the usual congregation away from the service Sunday Morning. The Pastor gave a short exhortation from the 3rd Psalm, after which the congregation joined in a testimony meeting which was very inspired indeed. The Pastor and some of the members of Grant Chapel attended the afternoon meeting at the 2nd A, M. E. Church on 3rd Street. At the evening service the church was filled. Rev. Jelt, evangelist preached a wonderful sermon. At the close of the service Dr. and Mrs. Jeltz again thanked the people of South Los Angeles for the many kindnesses shown them. Reports on the Building Fund were postponed until this Sunday night. Each group leader is asked to make her report as large as possible. The Pastor will preach at both services. Worship with us next Sunday. FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH REV. A. P. RAMSEY. Pastor Although weather conditions were bad Sunday, March 10th a wonderful service was enjoyed at the Friendship Baptist Church by those attending. The message was delivered in the morning and evening by pastor. The Sunday School held a lively session, also the superintendent Miss Irmia Ramsay is striving hard to make this a fron line School. The missionary meetings under the leadership of Mrs. E. L. Harrison are doing remarkable work. A dinner will be given by the missionary workers March 29 in the evening at 1807 East 104th Street. The prices will be reasonable and every one is invited. The E. Y. P. President, Mrs. P. Moore is also bring her Union up to rank with any other Union in Los Angeles. It would be appreciated if everyone who possible could, would come out and see what the young people at Friendship are doing in the Union. Meetings are held Sunday Evenings at G O'Clock. The Sons and Daughters of Honor met on the 7th. The meeting was very interesting, and all pronounced it one of the best meetings yet held. The Court and Star organizations are preparing for their annual sermons which will be held on Palm Sunday. The Son of Mrs. J. Gilbert on So.

A Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION YOUNG PRODUCER Although young in years Mr. Floyd Covington, Executive Secretary of the local Urban League is giving a practical demonstration in the administration of his position by the act of bringing to pass and opening up avenues for the employment of our group which promise to be far reaching indeed. This young man went forth and qualified himself as an operator of garment making machinery and in turn taught the same to others. As a result the women of our group in this section have gained a new opening in the industrial field. Eight have been employed as regular operators already and as they continue to qualify their tribe will increase. Therefore we appreciate the presence in our midst of a young man who has already proved his worth and we can truly hail him as a producer. PREJUDICE AND HATE If one would read the Los Angeles Examiner and fail to get any further insight into the Bell Cement proposition, they would brand the proposition as one which was a menace designated for the manufacturing of prejudice. At this profession the Los Angeles Examiner is a past master. To stir up prejudice and hatred seems to be its mission. Of course for this no doubt the owner has a reason and nobody knows this reason excepting the publisher himself. We have heard of quite a few, but we give credit to the publisher for knowing the reason which underlies his attack of hate and prejudice better than any other person. We happen not to be among those who have been weighted down with gold from any angle of the proposition, but we are of those who despise and depreciate any assault upon the grounds of hate and prejudice. We are part of a group which has been held down for centuries by just such bunk as the Examiner exudes when it hasn't any ground on which to stand. Without knowing anything about the other side the fact that this particular journal is going into hysterics over it is suffice for us to know that it is a personal proposition pure and simple with said newspaper. It is related the immortal Lincoln when practicing law in Illinois, went to trial with one of his cases and found he had no evidence; he was resourceful, however, and made the notation, "Skin the Defendant." Therefore in this situation of the cement proposition it is apparent that the great Hearst publication must raise cain and claim everybody is tainted excepting itself, so as to arouse the people to frenzy based on prejudice and hate. To say the least this is bad business and should be frowned upon. EVERYBODY BENEFITS The proposition of "trading at home" has been too often construed for the benefit of the merchant alone. There is no greater economic fallacy. The merchant may go in the first or primary benefit; the result may show up first in his own cash register; but by no means is the business man the sole heir of local patronage. We are all "business" people. It is a broad term and includes all who toil or add anything to the total of human welfare. The merchant, the banker, the farmer, the housewife, the teacher, the preacher, the lawyer, the doctor, the laborer, the contractor—in short, "the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker"—are all in the same class when it comes to making Los Angeles what it should be. As any one of these trades or professions prospers, the rest of the community benefits indirectly. It means more savings, more bank deposits and more business. We are living in an age of keen competition with the big cities. That the large city has its advantages and accommodations, all will admit. But it also has its disadvantages. If life is to survive in its fullness and richness and culture in the suburban and rural sections, and in the smaller cities and towns of this country, the economic side of the question must be given first consideration. Without economic prosperity all would have to move out. The business of the people of Los Angeles is to do business here, if it can be done with reason and to advantage. And we believe it can. Every dollar spent in Los Angeles makes it that much easier for the other fellow to spend his money here and the community dividends are ever cumulative. Investing in your home town is like getting compound interest, with the privilege to cash in on the principal. CONQUERING NATURE Since man's beginning he has waged an unceasing battle to subject nature to his will and wish. Though the battle has now waged for thousands of years, nature is still the master of man. Victory is not yet in sight for man but his advance, though slow, is unchecked. Nature may never be entirely under the control of man, who is actually a part of nature, but her many elements are being subdued one by one. Man's greatest struggle with nature has been the prolongation of human life, a thing over which nature for ages held complete and uncontested sway. Science, medicine, education and sanitation as conceived by the genius of the human mind, are successfully driving back the forces of nature toward the lengthening of the average span of life. On the basis of the progress made in the last three decades toward prolongation of human life we can hope to have an average life span of three-quarters of a century within the net 30 years. The automobile, the railroad, the airship, the telegraph and the radio are exemplifications of man's conquest of nature. Astronomy and archaeology—man's science—have brought within his ken the universe and the past. Anything man can think of he can do if he works at it long enough. We have abolished the plagues and devastating epidemics of our early history and we shall abolish the diseases which take their toll of human life today. Nature is surrendering to man inch by inch and is making man greater for the struggle. When the time comes—if it should—when man no longer has to struggle for supremacy the decay of the human mind will be swift and sure. A NEVER-ENDING WAR Ordinary rules of sanitation in the home and by municipalities are saving the lives of thousands of Americans annually and making virulent epidemics almost unheard of. How many people a few years ago knew that malaria germs were spread by the mosquito. and that many disease germs were broadcast by the common housefly? No greater in number than these were those who realized the efficiency of screens, covered garbage cans, clean yards and the elimination of stagnant water in exterminating the mosquito and the fly. A fly in the house is a sign of careless housekeeping in this era of swat-the-fly. It is only in the poorest tenement districts and the squalid home of the mountaineer that the housefly is still given free rein to taint food and carry disease germs from person to person. Neither is the mosquito permitted to inject his malaria germs into the veins of every sleeping human. To successfully combat the fly and the mosquito, the campaign should be launched early in the year. But the battle against summer's pestiferous purveyors of disease must not stop with preventatives. Debris must not be permitted to accumulate, garbage cans must be kept tightly closed at all times and screens must be kept in repair. And the fly swatter must be kept in daily use.

William Taft, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, who had given the oath of office to Herbert Hoover offered the Bible opened at the 29th chapter of Proberbs, his lips touched those words, and he was truly the President of the United States. Seldom has any of our previous presidents taken up the reins of government under more flattering auspices. Unless some unforseen problem of a weighty character involves the nation the Ship of State should have no over turbulent sea. Even should a tempest arise, we have unswerving faith in the skill and wisdom of our Pilot. Mr. Hoover made mention of racial atrocities. For which we are thankful. We are glad he had the good taste to refrain from the useless platitudes which have meant nothing. We believe that his silence on that question means that, at last, we have an executive who knows no distinction in the citizenship of this cosmopolitan nation, but that recognition of citizenship will be based on loyalty to the government and obedience to constituted authority, and that every one is an AMERICAN CITIZEN. And regardless of race, creed or color of the skin, must have the full protection of constituted authority—THE LAW. We hope for the best. No Democracy can long endure where caste exists. President Hoover has had an experience which fell to the lot of few—if any—of his predecessors. He has had the personal experience of observing the governments where the taint of "Nordic superiority" has not taken root. He has been shown the courtesies of governments where texture of the hair or tint of the skin was no barrier to preferment, but ability was the open sesame. The President, Herbert Hoover, is an observant man. His contacts have been an enlightenment. He is going to be a President for ALL OF THE PEOPLE—Black, White, Grizzled or Grey; no favors will be extended. His inaugural speech presages it. It is going to hurt some the "Group's" professional expounders. They will try to make capital out of the omission of the "race question; crime of lynching" and the many other questions (?) with which they have agitated. They have brought naught but platitudes, to use the words of the street: "Bunk." Mr. Hoover's predecessor in office was a past master in buncombe. The leaders threw up their hats and cheered whenever he said something such as "Lynching must cease" or similar phrase. Then the persons to which the words were supposed to be addressed would show their contempt by the lynching or burning of another Negro. We firmly believe that DEEDS NOT WORDS will be the acts of President Herbert Hoover. The fight of the city of San Francisco for control of its harbor came up for a vote in the Assembly and San Francisco won the first skirmish. The assembly voting 47 to 26 in favor of the measure. The state administration was, and is, against the measure and the prediction is that there will be a bitter contest in that body over senate concurrence. Assemblyman Hornblower led the San Francisco forces. The opposition was led by Assemblyman West of the city of Sacramento. The vote showed that the Farm Bloc in the Assembly was favorable to the transfer. The Los Angeles delegation, with one or two exceptions, voted for the bill. It was brought out in debate that New Orleans and San Francisco harbors were the only two important ports in the United States under state control. Assemblyman Bernard in announcing his vote made use of the description in the New Testament of the raising of Lazarus. He paralleled it by using the words of the Master, who said, "Loose him and let him go." Give to the people of San Francisco the right to control their "Front Door." Loose them and let them go. Next to the Judge Hardy impeachment, control of San Francisco's water front promises to hold the spotlight of the legislative Passing the assembly with such enthusiastic approbation proponents of the San Francisco Harbor bill felt quite elated and prophesied that the bill would be in the hands of the Governor for his signature or veto. But they had reckoned without considering the Senate. The bill was smothered in committee and bids to die there as the vote was 6-3. The administration has been opposed to the measure, and it might have given rise to a very embarrassing situation had it been sent to the desk of the Governor. As it is the controversy has created a very peculiar political situation. Ex-Governor Richardson vetoed the measure and gained the political enmity of San Francisco and environs. Senator Roy Fellom, San Francisco, attempted to call the bill from committee, but, seemingly, has given up the task as hopeless. No one questions the efficient manner by which the state controls the harbor of San Francisco, but neither should anyone question the ability of San Francisco to competently manage their "Front Door" entrance and exit. There is vast difference in the conditions which existed in 1866 and 1929. At the meeting of the Federation of Labor hel din Miami, Florida, considerable interest was displayed in the wide-spread increase in the unemployment of men who have reached the age of forty years. Group insurance has been blamed for much of the tendency to "ditch" the men who have reached that age, as employers have their premiums based on the average age of the men insured. Therefore, favoring the younger men. The average man of forty is right in the prime of his industrial production. Generally, he is a man with family and with the present wage and cost of living, has poor chance to have laid aside any considerable amount against the day when he can no longer work. The rearing of a family with the incidental expenses has inhibited his saving. Why then should a man in the prime of life and at the height of his industrial production be denied employment? Group insurance is paternalistic and the employer seeks to pay as little for his paternalism as possible. A State monopoly of workmen's compensation insurance would, doubtless, remove the evil as it would not be operated for profit, while the system which permits private companies to write such insurance operates for profit. The budding revolution in Mexico is regretable. Coming so soon after the restoration of the temporal power of the Vatican it cannot fail to cause unfavorable comment. While it would be unethical and poor diplomacy to connect the uprising with religion it will cause a reversion of sentiment which will alienate the sympathy of nations which separate church and state. War, with all of its pernicious appendages, is the result of uprisings as the one now threatening the peace of Mexico, and it is to be hoped that the spark will be deadened before it spreads and creates a conflagration. Friday, March 15, 1929 (By The Associated Negro Press) Louisville, Ky., March 14—Albon L. Holsey, Secretary of the National Negro Business League, was here this week attending the National Conference of Executives or the Grocery Industry. The conference was held Monday and Tuesday at the Brown Hotel and was sponsored by the U. S. Department of Commerce and the Board of Directors of the Louisville Grocery Survey. With the rapid spread of the chain stores, manufacturers and wholesale grocers are finding it increasingly important to preserve as far as possible, the independent grocers which have survived. In order to do this, the whole structure of distribution must be adjusted to meet the situation which has been created by the chain store system. Louisville was selectively selected to trade in its entirety and the findings of this study will be the basis of a new program for wholesale grocers and retailers. When interviewed, Mr. Holsey said: "For a number of years the National Negro Business League has been urging our retail merchants to organize themselves into local units for cooperative buying and cooperative advertising. At the present time, we are successfully working out the cooperative experiment in such a way as to increase their profits and at the same time meet chain store competition. With our Montgomery experience, we can extend these local units into all cities where there are ten or more Negro grocers, if accepted the invitation to attend the conference in Louisville because of the opportunity it afforded me to learn at first hand how white business is meeting the new problems of distribution and at the same time to discuss our plans with some of the executives whose interests are closest related to Negro retail channels. I was gratified to find these men, only sympathetic. In league with them consented to address the next annual session of the League which will be held in Indianapolis." Among the leaders of American business men who spoke on the Conference program were: Dr. Frank M. Surface, U. S. Department of Commerce; T. F. Branham, President, National Wholesale Grocers Association; John Coode, President, National Retail Grocers Association; F. M. Peiker, Director, Associated Business Papers; Carl Dipman, Editor, Progressive Brocer; and William Butterworth, President, U. S. Chamber of Commerce. On Tuesday, evening, the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity of Louisville and members of the Colored Business Association joined in tendering Mr. Holley a smoker. (By: A. N. P.) New York, Mar. 14.—Jewish College students outshine other nationalities in their class work, according to an investigation made by Prof. Henry E. Garrett of Columbia University, which is reported in the Personnel Journal. Garrett studied the differences between 296 representative freshmen at Columbia, and found that the Jewish students are far superior both in intelligence test scores and in classroom grades. Students of Italian ancestry do better work than would be expected from their intelligence ratings, whereas with the Irish students just the reverse is the case. "Classified as to religion, the Hebrew students rank higher than the Catholics and Protestants." Professor Garrett reported. "There were no significant differences between Catholics and Protestants." May he be the cause of the superiority of the Hebrew students, he suggests, but apart from this there are two other possible contributing causes: "In the first place, it is very probable that the preparation of those Jews who apply for admission to Columbia College is on the whole better than that of the other applicants. Secondly the standards or criteria for admission are probably somewhat higher for Jewish students." Mother Perishes With Child (By The Associated Negro Press) Waverly, Teen., March 14.—A mother who had "passed through the shadow of death" in order that her child might live, gave her life her Friday in the egort to save her offspring from flames that completely destroyed the family domicile. The heroic mother was Mrs. Tishie Spicer and the tragedy occurred when a fire was discovered in the house in which lived her sister in law, Mrs. Mollie Spicer, Mrs. Tishie Spicer first discovered the fire and ran to warn the entire household. When she reached the room of her two year old daughter, it was almost a mass of flames. Rushing into the veritable furnace to save her baby, Mrs. Spicer was overcome and perished with her babe. The Spicer home was the finest home owned by Negroes in the city and many citizens have expressed the opinion that the loss of the house and the tragedy could have been averted had there been a fire plug nearby. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE MAGAZINE SECTION LOWEST RATES IN LOS ANGELES CROWN CABS Westmore 8282 BEST SERVICE OBTAINABLE Phys-Art-Lit-Mor Club's Fashion Show and Dance BY ALICE DUNBAR NELSON (For The Associated Negro Press) The New York Times had a color complex last Sunday in its special sections. The Dramatic section feature a review of the new play, "Harlem", dramatized from Wallace Thurman's novel, "The Blacker the Berry", and a splendid illustration on the inner page completed the article. J. Brooks Akkinson, the dramatic critic, did not feel so happy after his visit to the A pollo Theatre and "Harlem", and a perusal of the novel left an inubitably bad taste in his mouth—wherein we are in heartiest accord with Mr. Atkinson. Have not seen the play, but if it is a faithful dramatization of the book, Heaven forlorn. When Mr. Thurman grows up, he is going to be so ashamed of "The Blacker the Berry" that he will want to change his name. The Book Review section is distinctly dark-hued. There are reviews of "Black America," by Scott Nearing, being his views on economic subjects and the Negro "The Pedro Gorino" by Captain Harry Dean, being "The Adventures of a Negro Sea Captain in Africa, and on the Seven Seas, in His Attempts to Found an Ethiopian Empire. An Autobiographical Narrative. There is also a review of Jesse Burn, and also of the reprint of Chas. Chestnut's "The Conjure, Woman," resurrected after twenty-five years. The reviewer reminds us that no less an authority than J. E. Spingarn, whose text books in English literature are unsurpassed, consults Chestnut, "The first Negro novelist and still the best." "Flash," is an interesting little mag-azine that come in from the Pacific Coast. It is a miniature Tatler, and very witty and well-edited. It is published at 4105 Central Avenue, and the editors are Fay Jackson-Robinson and James W. McGregor. One particular timely bit is a characterization of Lincoln Perry, known to Film Fans as step N Fetchit. Those who have enjoyed the "talkie," "The Ghost Talks," will remember that long, tall, colored bridegroom, his delicious acting, and the satisfying richness of his voice. He put every other man in the shade and his voice was a revelation or what the talkies will do for Negro film actors. Dr E. C, L. Adams, whose "Congaree Sketches" were reviewed in this column about a year ago, brings forth a new book, "Nigger to Nigger," Charles Scribner's Books, $2.00). There will be those who will object to the title but the characters protraed 'run true to form, and we all know that when we gather together, with no Caucasian present, the word "Nigger" drops easily, lightly, and frequently from the lips of even some of the most careful of us. How much more so, then among the untutored and unlettered—the kind who are portrayed in this collection of sketches. They seem slight, emphemeral. They are 8 sections; The Swamps, Nigger, Nigger, Nigger, Rabbit, Ghosts at the Angels, Rabbit, Penguin, Slavey Time, Funeral. Most of the sketches are dialogues between "Tod" (whose right name, we learn from the dedication of the book, is Thaddous Goodson, sportsman, humorist, fatalist, philosopher) and various other characters, often "Scip", and many times, merely an "imperial" "Voice". Between them they tell quaint stories, and inject much homely philosophizing on affairs of the world. Every now and then there is a poem, and at the end or the book a collection, some of them sermons, or fragments sermons, faintly suggesting some of James Weldon Johnson's "God's Trombones". Now that is what it appears on the surface, and perhaps there will be many persons who will read "Nigger to Nigger", and see no more than these quiet stories in their eight sections, with the intelpolations of poetry. But as you laugh over the modified Gullah of Tad and Scip and that Mourful Voice, you are conscious of something not quite right—something out of the picture, until it suddenly bursts in upon your soul that you are reading some of the bitterest, satire ever penned by a human being. That under the guise of the ingenuous comments of the characters, the author is paying his respects to that kind of American civilization that lynches, burns, cheats lies and steals when it deals with the Negro. For instance, there is the poem, "Bannister Bridge", which tells in a stark, ersely beautiful style of the capture of convicts, and how the guards are oftimes fooled by passerby: 'Fooled by a ign nant nigger Wid de cunnin' of a fox Cunnin' bred In de blood an' de bone For de portfection Er he race Cunnin' like dat Of a beast Dat run At the sight of a man, and again, the poem, "A Prison", which tells cells to carry the jail when they are itied by his thumbs, and let hands by a windlift, and let hours, while the keepers, "Sets down, Wid compensation an laugh" And the woman stripped to the skin and lashed for flicking a flower. Again the snarling epithet of "Brass Ankles" applied to "White, wid a little tech of yellow; Niggers dat's passed on up." There is the dialogue "Thirteen Years", between Tad and Scip, into which Reverend Hickman and the Classic Voice are interpolated, which not been raped, but the accused man had been in prison thirteen years before her sick bed confession. "Have faith, counsels Reverend Hickman. Eat, counsels Scip, "Faith in what? Thirteen years er faith. Faith in law, Faith in God; faith in de everlastin' gnishment dat would come to this woman, ef di man had er served he full time. Faith in de court; faith in di dariat testify, faith in de sneak- in' hag dat is tryin' to escape hell fire. Don't tell me 'bout no faith**** is you all forget how to laugh? Laugh an I jine you." Then, the bitter tale of the innocent Negro killed in a bootlegging raid; the white men freed by the court, because of their war service. The horrible ballad of the lynchers; which tells the now famous Lowman case—a ballad which makes the blood run cold to read it. The sattire of the "Old Mammy" business. Decentful colored folks calls themselves Old Mammy to curry favor with white people; common white crackers talking about their "Old Mammies" in a pretence at aristocracy. The white doctor who treated a colored man's boll by giving his wife a bottle of carbolic acid and telling her to rub it in with a corncob. The conduct of southern courts when a Negro is accused. A sly dlg at Baby Shows, and the reverend gentleman who has been too free with his loving. "Nigger to Nigger" is as subtle in its appeal, as ingenuous in its innuendo, and as bitterly satirical in its artlessness as the very Negroes whom it describes, it is a breath-taking revelation or a white man's insight into the life and an understanding of the heart of the peasant Negro, who in If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened A MUSICAL STAR MISS NADINE McCULLOUGH Miss McCullough is the charming Taughtor of Mr. and Mrs. G.

Indianapolis, Ind., March 12—White students, or the Indiana Central College, in Indianapolis, where William Pickens had held lectures and seminars for a school day, came over in a chorus to sing at the Colored Y. M. C. A. "Monster Meeting," when Mr. Pickens was to speak there on Sunday. It is not unusual for colored college students to sing to white meetings, but, in Indiana and Alabama, the reverse is unprecedented, perhaps. Indiana Central College is co-educational institution of 400 white boys and girls, and one Negro student from Africa. his ignorance is able to say: "De Bible言, De Lord watchth de fall of every sparrow, an' I says: 'Why an' He take He eye off sparrow em luh 'om rest some time on bigger game?' A GOOD SHOW AND DANCE $1.00 LOS ANGELES, CAL, FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1929 COMMENTS (Continued From Page Eight) The effort of the section of the Republican party in Tennessee termed as "Lily Whites" to discredit the leadership of Robert Church proved a dud. By the confirmation of E. V. Sheely, Church's candidate for postmaster of Memphis, the stronghold of Church on the Party in that State was emphasized. A strong opposition was set up against the senate confirmation. Led by John W. Farley, implacable foe of the Negro leader, every argument known to those color prejudiced politicians was brought to bear, but Church came through with flying colors. It appears that Church had the backing of many of Memphis' influential citizens of the Banking and Business interests. It was quite a shock to the sensibilities of Farley and his cohorts, who, elated at the promises offered by one Col. Horace Mann, felt sure of the co-operation of the incoming administration in their onslaught against the participation of nonwhites in the political activities of the Republican party in the south. Encouraged by the results in the State of Mississippi they fought hard and long, but they were no match for the astute Bob Church. There was no period of "watchful waiting" on the part of President Hoover, when told of the uprising in Mexico he called his cabinet in conference and decided to aid the existing government of President Portes Gil, by shipping arms and ammunition. He also stopped the transportation of arms and ammunition to the revolutionists. By allowing the Mexican government the use of fighting planes shipped from the United States and curtailing the shipping of war material, the revolution should be short lived. The United States is preparing to send troops to the Mexican border, and it is reported, at this writing, that the brigade stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming is in readiness to entrain. It is a splendid sign of the coming of a sound administration of the government to have an executive who can decide questions of moment with good judgment and quickly. The rest can be left to the Mexican government. Rebel leaders-when taken know their fate—backs to the wall facing a firing squad. The bank clearings for the city of New York during the first week in March amounted to ten and one-half billion dollars. Some years ago when Thomas Reed of Maine was Speaker of the lower Congress his political opponents twitted him about the expenditure of the nation's funds. His reign was called the plutocratic regime, and the Congress was termed the Billion Dollar Congress. Reed answered by saying, "Yes, this is a billion dollar country." If he were living in this age and would hear how nonchalantly they speak of the expenditure of billions he might be amazed. Appropriations of a billion or so does not cause a ripple of excitement. Millions are spent now without causing a particle of comment. We take it for granted. With all of our boasted wealth poverty still stalks among us. President Hoover, in his speech of acceptance, spoke of reducing poverty by studying its underlying principles. Fine: It is to be hoped that the alleviation, if not the blotting out, of that blight on human progress—Poverty—will be one of the first considerations of his administration. Old Dame Nature is a freakish body when she so determines. One of the most remarkable being reported from England where the discovery has been made of a man who has a throat from which can be sung, simultaneously, a duo in perfect tenor and bass. He was discovered washing windows. A passerby heard him singing and was astounded to hear a duo coming from a single throat. He was advised to take up singing professionally. His musical training strengthened his voice. That voice means a fortune. The good dame—Nature—is kind to all of her brood. Not so long ago a cripple who never walked had become despondent and was thinking of ending it all. An artist passing by noticed that he had something in his hand and was studying it. It turned out to be a soiled piece of paper with a sketch of the adjoining building. The cripple was induced to take up architectural drawing. Today he stands out as one of the world's best architectural designers. Had he had two legs his genius may not have been discovered. One of our best writers of fiction discovered his ability to write after he had become a cripple and was unable to do manual labor. And so it goes: sometimes the good old lady has to force opportunity on us. Mr. B, H.

"At its best," states Fannie Hurst, "the short story in America reaches a literary peak unique and important." Since Edgar Allan Poe set his mark on the short story, America has played no small part in the development of this form of writing.

Thurman, fully acquainted with conditions in Harlem, proceeds to unfold a weird story of numbers, ghm-mills, "house-rent parties" and every evil of the colored underworld, disregarding entirely the themes he should have offered on Broadway. His play, "Harlem," is Harlem at its worsy and the kind one has to search for. While the production may enjoy a long run, it is certainly no credit to either the author or the colored race. also serve as American counsel to the corporation.
