The Hon. Oscar DePriest was seated as a member of Congress in Washington last Monday. It was indeed a historic occasion from the fact that he was the first member of the colored race to occupy a seat in Congress for 28 years. In addition to this fact he is the first one ever elected an seated from north of the Mason and Dixon line.
ACQUITTED OF CHARGES
Much speculation was in evidence as to whether Mr. DePriest would be seated on account of indictments pending against him in Chicago, regarded only, as a ruse to prevent his being seated. However the case came to trial immediately preceding the opening of Congress and the Congressman elect was exonerated, thereby clearing the way absolutely for his induction to the seat in Congress to which he had been elected.
Only a few days before going to Washington, Mr. DePriest among other things spoke as follows in a speech "I'm not ashamed to go to Congress because I'm a black man, I was born in Alabama. My Mother and father were slaves of the poorest sort and the only thing I dislike about Alatama is that I was born there. I wish to say to women and men of today that you colored people of today have lots of rights and the doors of opportunity are still open to the American Negro. He must fight for his rights, a man who will not fight for his rights has no business with rights.
The day when other people will fight for you have gone forever. The balloon is your only weapon of defense. If you don't vote, don't complain. If you don't vote, don't complain. If you don't vote, don't complain. And why it was elected congressman.
I am sure that every Negro, has learned of the high esteem the late Congressman Madden was held in. I was a leader in his campaign twenty-four years ago, when he first went to Congress. He upheld and voted for the rights of Negroes while in Congress and rose to the height of chirmanship of the Appropriation Committee. The people whom he served loved him to such an extent that they refused to throw him out, although they could have elected a Negro years ago. On the 27th day of April, 1928, God called our Congressman home, I was away on a vacation. Bishop Curey, presiding Bishop of the A. m. B. Church, over Illinois and Michigan, invited me to come back, wired back saying. I will come. I'm wired. He wired me again. "Madden is dead," I wired him. "Will be there on next train," in the mean while I wired William Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago, the greatest friend of the Negro since Abraham Lincoln, the mid: "Madden is dead; Jim a candidate for Congress and ask your support." The Mayor wired back to me. "I have received your telegram and I AM WITH YOU."
On arriving in Chicago I had a meeting with the Mayor and we went to Hotel Sherman, the Republican headquarters and discussed matters with other Republican bosses and Oscar DePriest was nominated for Congress. The Democrats put up a white man, a Negro Baptist preacher started an independent ticket. Rev. L. K. (Turn to Page Seven)
Atty. Lewis K. Beeks
Wins Discrimination Suit
A cracker restaurant man who conducts a pig ankle joint at $8th Street and Long Beach Avenue is a wiser but poorer man, as a result of the prowess of Attorney L. K. Beeks, who successfully prosecuted a case in Judge Bogne's Court this week and procured a substantial damage against the proprietor. W. Stefler for refusal to serve Miss Burnette in a public place.
Steiner put up the prizes of a hot dog from 19 cents to 50 cents, however this did not dampen the order of Miss Burnette who stood up for her rights under the law by bringing suit and thereby brought the southern crusher to his knees.
Attorney Becks is to be congratulated upon his efforts and is a shining light to his profession.
OPENING GUN "SMITH FOR MAYOR" CAMPAIGN WAS RED HOT AT 20TH ST. SCHOOL AUDITORIUM LAST MONDAY NIGHT
Carlin G. Smith was presented to the voters of the Eastside at a very enthusiastic meeting which was held at the 20th St. School House on last Monday evening. The emphant hearing prim full of enthusiasm amid fireworks gallery in which this particular candidate made his initial appearance before our
CARLIN G. SMITH
group. Carlin G. Smith proved himself thoroughly at home and indeed qualified to the utmost as a friend to the plain, common everyday average citizen. He made a distinct hit with his audience and truly there was no question of his sincere devotion for a better, bigger and greater Los Angeles, and a greater opportunity for all people.
Mr. Smith was presented by his campaign director for the Eastside in the person of James Alexander, who is prominent in political endeavor and has held the highest political office of any member of our group on the Pacific Coast:
Mr. Smith said in part:
"I have lived in California all my life, having been born in West Oakland. I have lived near colored people and played with them when a boy. I believe in a square deal to everyone, regardless of race, creed or color.
"I was instructed to sell a lot to the highest bidder, once in Oakland, and the highest bidder happened to be a colored man. He got the property. When it was attempted to keep him from possessing, I stood by him, not because he was colored, it was a matter of principle with me, the property was to go to the highest bidder and I sold it to him.
"This is the first time in a number of years that you will have the opportunity to vote for a man for mayor who is not backed by any of the machines. I am backed by no one. I want to go into the office to clean things up, to make Los Angeles a clean place to live.
"When I am elected, Jim. Davis goes! and all of his men who have been responsible of wring doing. If there is one rotten apple in a bunch, the rest will soon decay, but still I believe that if they were managed by the right kind of man, the police serve would use entirely. But the police will be the most extent. When I am elected, any police officer who breaks into a home without a wax rant will be treated as a common burglar.
"We all know that Chandler fought the Boulder Dam and that he will fight municipal ownership. If Quinn is elected municipal ownership will be foutright as he is backed by Chandler. "Anyone who comes in my office to see me, when I am mayor will be seen according to his turn. If one of you are next and Mr. Million Dollars happens in, you are next and he awaits his

Madam Talbert A San Diego Favorite
Our own Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert has returned from her second engagement held at San Diego. April Sharma appeared at Spreckles Theatre at San Diego and the mayor and many of the leading city officials were patrons. The daily papers spoke in the highest terms of Mrs. Talbert's work.
She has planned a fine program for the Beth Eden Church in this city. She will sing for the Rotary Club's entertainment to be held at the Philharmonic.
In a recent contest held at the Hollywood Bowl, Mrs. Talertt was awarded 2nd place in the finals. There were 92 contestants in the preliminaries and only nine in the finals. Mrs. Talertt is leavig the first part of a sophomore year. She will appear in Chicago, Washington, Cleveland, Columbus, Cheshire, Pa. New Bedford, and other eastern cities. She has been chosen one of the soloists at the Peace Conference to be held at Philadelphia.

It is said the picture showed the incarceration of a huge black man had him peeping from behind the bars. Whether this was an insignia of justice or of warning, we have not been informed. However, Dr. Driver decided that it was anything except a credit and, his age is over. The usual sum and build of the band was neglected and the limit for its musical or beats go to jail for the distribution of public money.

When the time expired, Dr. Driver did not go to jail—for—the picture was down. Bally for Dr. Driver.
$72.50 IS THE monthly wage paid by the Pullman Company to Pullman Porters.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to please all the people all the time. Much more criticism has been hurled at Pullman since he started preaching the doctrine of higher wages for Pullman Porters, but whether or not we agree with his method of paying on us—we must certainly agree that Other men should be paid a Living wage.
"YIELD NOT to temptation," in this age that might readily be called the age of crime in a fairly wild, but not so easily obeyed. Whatever a monthly wage, less than is required for the monthly upkeep of the expensive pet dog in Hollywood, he becomes not an applicant but a victim of crime as a trade. It is with it a matter of "not what shall I do to be maved," but "what shall I do in order to save my family from starvation."
THERE IS PLENTY of visible evidence that there are those who of their own free will accept, as their portion, a life of crime and by the way, there are different kinds of criminals—those who break into banks and run away with the cash; those who destroy their own souls and bodies by riotous living, and even those who steal not your purse, but rob you of your good name. But, of none of these do we speak—Tie the system of wage discrimination that too often turn useful citizens into the meanest sort of criminals.
IF NOT only Pullman Porter, but all workers were paid lying wages, it would be wholly unnecessary for cities to introduce social systems of giving relief to the poor, which often costs the city in question more in salaries for those who distribute cash charity than the subjects of charity receive.
LAST SUNDAY afternoon's message to the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People by Mr. Hoy C. Brockman, was a helpful one.
Mr. Brockman was top heavy with platitudes, not did he give an exhibition of oratorical eloquence, but delivered to his hearers some plains facts over which, if they were wise, they will carefully ponder and accordingly receive the intended benefits.
SOME HIGH LIGHTS in the speakers' press were "work with members of the nation on daily, that while their economic, political and cultural backgrounds have not yet been established, they have a wonderful spiritual foundation upon which to build."
Mr. Brockman painted a lasting picture of his acquaintance with Brice Taylor of Southern California University fame telling how he had been Brice's daddy for four years at the Southern California University. He also mentioned the fact that Atty, Bert McDonald was making good and had been promoted in the City Prosecution Department. At the close of his address, Atty Brockman received red rossing applause from the audience, and timely words of thanks from President H. Cock Hudson.
THE SILVER TONE Coral Café furnished music for the National Association last Sunday afternoon. This aggregation of singers composed of male and female members of the younger group cheerfully gave their time and delighted the great gathering with one of the most delightful musical programs that members and friends of the N. A. A. C. P. have heard for a long time.
Most of the members of the Silver Tone Choral Club possess especially good voices, and it occurred to us as they sang that they should enjoy the opportunity for further and better voice training.
The appearance of the Silver Time Singers on last Sunday afternoon was due to the activity of our own Madam Charlie Brilton Daniels, who was to have graced the audience with her performance at Redlands, California, was unable to do so.
In The Sport World

SI MASTERS SCORES AGAIN.
WHO'S STARTING ANTI-BOXING
ANEW?
COLORED TRACKMEN GET A
"BREAK."
WATCH FOR THAT PROMISED
SCANDAL!
THAT
JACK DOYLE
AND his organization
MAY be known as the "Madison Square Garden of the West" is principally due to the brainy manipulation of the business affairs, by manager St Masters. One glance at Wrigley Field, Monday night, as the soothing crowds of all nations hurried out to see the match that other great official, matchmaker Wachams had arranged would disclose that everything had been manned out with clocklike attention to detail.
LIGHTS. Lights. Lights. everywhere. Flood lights from the grand stand roof; portable light plants throwing searchlights on each of the exits to facilitate departure without confusion. Well trained ushers, coolly and courteously seating everyone, a portable loud speaker station carrying announcer. Dan Tobey's voice to the farthest end of the park.
DOWN-TOWN at the Arcade ticket office those genial, expert accountants Miller and Lawler kept open house every night and on Sunday preceding the fight, then had everything counted up before the main event was going good.
All in all the Hydrophe Emanuel classic showed masterful management and that master was Masters.
"WHY ERING that up?" That cartoon in a Sunday paper showing a gorilla as a heavyweight championship contestant and denouncing boxing? With more time we will name some of the fine cultured, brained men and women who attend boxing regularly. Agitation against it only helps to make it more popular though, at that.
Colored track men have really been getting a "break" this season and have given god account of themselves. The white dalles have not failed to give them credit, and on three occasions the Examiner has published their pictures snapped in action and winning events.
KEEP watching, it won't be long now, before that promised sports scandal will be revealed. Certain boxers and managers, watch out!
THE MODERN BOXING GAME
BY: EARL PURYEAR
[EDITOR'S NOTE: Carl Puryear was until a few years ago one of the best bantam in the game. He has always been quite a writer and is well posted on the fight game.]
The boxing game has greatly changed from yearst-years. Even the names and frazes come into a new reenligh Fighters, masters and tricksters as were the old names are now called palookas, bums and clowns. The latter names are very befitting of the present day athlete called fighter with his hair slicked back and robbed in silken pants. Damon Runyon has given it the name of 'Sour Science', I think a more balting, name would have been 'Sour Science', because I have met few who have finished with the game that are not some they didn't choose some. A other problem, Battling Levinson was the last to express his admiration. Please you can find anyone from a doubling to a human as a manager or a champion, like names in loud colors as the colours of some card in man's hands. Phillipdrin multimariee, Mr. Levinson, Phillipdrin multimariee, Mr. Levinson, intricate into the sounding game as a manager of Home DeVoe with dummy Bronson as his chief adviser.
A good old time trainer who knows the business in scarcity; a law are left—Ben Smith, is the only one I know of who really takes an interest in the man he is looking after. Most percent of the present day so called trainers who are merely nobody couldn't explain to a fighter what his shadow boxing exercise conditions him fine.

WILMINGTON FANS. BOO
DEGENERATION.
BATTLE RATIO
When white fans hoot and raise Cain when a white boy is given the decision over a colored boy, it shows not only real sportmanship but also that there is something wrong with the referees' eyes or his mind.
Yet this is what happened last Wed. night down at Wilmington. Because of the few colored residents in the town, a very small percentage of the audiences are colored. Yet a roquing chaperon Sammy when he visited the four veteran Billy Blake, and a rousing boo followed the referee and Blake when his hand was raised at the end of the tent round.
Hake kept on the run all the time, so Sammy should have received no worries than a draw for his aggressiveness. Sammy has become as great a sensation at Washington as he is at Ocean Park and Ganial Docfet who believes in squareness plans to book him in a number of houts. Joe Noto knocked out Pip Pimples that in the second round of the sound-windy. Joe Velarde beat Cisco Kid, Benjamin Leonard lost to Tommy Hoffman and Eddie Berry beat Paul Drake in the other houts.

"Now Charlie, the way the Kitty is going to whip that big lawyer fellow, in to such him and horn on snapping. You do the same to Perigona and we'll all win!"
"By the way, look at these back seat contracts for you, boy!" says manager Clyde Bludkins to brother Ace and his brown stablemate, Charlie Long.
All the blossoms of the Hudding 'clan as to the things Ace, would do to Armand, were verified and then some, Monday night at Wristley Field when 15,948 paid $64,266.20 to see the greatest battle held here for many moons. Armand Emanuel almost forced to fight to hold his prestige was thoroughly out-labbed, out-slugged, out-fought and out-smarted by Ace Hudkins who wanted to prove he could beat heavyweights too and get his crewed rematch with Mickey Walker. A large percentage of the wildly cheering fans were colored, drawn as much by admiration for the game, as they were for that his colored stablemate Charley Long was boxing on the same card.
CHARLEY LONG WINS
Joe Peregrina profile of the Mexican colony who has piled up a score of knocks-out at the Main St. A. C. took a terrific body beating from Charley Long in the special event. Peregrina fought gamely and boxed well also did some heavy in-fighting but a raw, red left side showed those right hand smashes had worn him down.
Paul De Hate knocked out Herman Auerbach in the fifth round of the post winding. He had him down for a seven-count just before the knock-out, and then finished him off with a right to the law.
In the first preliminary Al De Rose and Wendell Long weft 6 rounds to a draw.
Joe Manellas beat Raymond Lugo easily, by taking tour out of 6 rounds.
WALKER NEXT FOR ACE
Ace is now pretty sure to be able to run Walker in a hole, then take the championship from him that Kearns and referee Yanger tricked from poor Tiger Flowers. This eighth is a typical round of the great battle:
ROUND RIGHT
They were using the smoiling salts on Emanuel between rounds. Hudkins walked into three stiff labs and chen hooked a hard right. He put his head on Emanuel's chest and drove rights and lefts to the Stomach. Hudkins drove a hard right to the ribs and that he could jab his left successfully, a left, to the chin. Hudkins found Hudkins delivering a hard left to Emanuel's stomach. Armand drove two left to Hudkins' ribs. Ace kept whimping his left to the head, chasing Emanuel backwards, although Armand was kicking, as best he knew. How Hudkins obeyed Emanuel furiously, belaboring him with lefts to the stomach. Emanuel was in bad shape, fighting gamely but foolishly and taking a bad beating. Emanuel found Hudkins face some times with lefts and chen hooked a hard right unarmed and Hudkins more than evened this with two hard left books to the head. Hudkins hooked two lefts to Emanuel's hand and jolted him to his nose with a straight left. Emanuel wished a wild right at the bell. Hudkins sounded.
Peerless CABS MUtual 4141
Santiago Zorilla with his prestige undimmed by losing to champion Tod Morgan at the Olympic two weeks ago has given up the idea of tempting to capture the junior lightweight crown at present and will stick to his division—the featherweights. Although his first meeting with the champion at San Francisco ended in a draw with the shade his way, yet owing to being several pounds heavy and his recent bounce, Demetrius Iliae born demon never showed the lighting speed and cat-like battling he has in his other digits. Tom Andrews of Milwaukee has secured him for three big bouts there. He will leave soon for these and for a couple in Detroit.
Recent discussion about ring nide brings to mind one that occurred at Tia Juaquin, Mexico, couple of years ago, Joe Chaney who boxed Sammy Mandell at Fremo during his last coast invasion was carded with Kenneth Walace, a colored boy protege of Fred Winsor.
Wallace who went by the name of the "Boy Wonder" was dropped twice in the opening round by Chaney's terrific right to the jaw. Recovering quickly Wallace held his own battling nip, and tack to the eighth when he dropped Chaney twice. Taking the ninth round decided referee Mike Golinder in favor of the Boy Wonder, so he raised his hand.
Most of the audience were Mexicans and batting on their favorite Chaney had been, heavy, so cursing and yelling Spanish epithets they rushed the ring. With quick presence of mind, Wallace ran across the ring and raised his opponent's hand himself, and the would-be attackers hesitated. Scared and excited, the referee called the light a draw, whereupon backers of Wallace and backers of Chaney began a battle royal with each other that made the arena look like a bar room brawn in the "49" days.
Local Tia Jhana gendarmes swinging their night sticks finally quelled the free for all with difficulty but by that time as Wallace tells it "me, the referee and the other fellow was miles away!"

In what dyed in the woot: ring railbirds declare was the most terrific battle ever staged, between heavy-weights in recent years on the coast, Neal Cisby, the "California Thunderbolt" reluctantly gave up the title of Coast Heavy Gamp to Bear-Cat Wright. It is the kind of battle that sets fans wild and keeps them standing in their seas, as Neal first and clever, but some 15 pounds lighter, faced the powerful Wright who made up for cleverness with crushing right and left shots suddenly from his crouching shell as he keeps coming in like a human battering ram.
From the opening round to the last there was never an idle moment though the challenger, the majority of the rounds.
In the eighth he sho a terrifying right to Neal's jaw followed up with a left that reused him into a neutral corner, then rushing him raiser blows on the

Motion Pictures Drama
By LAWRENCE F. LAMAR
Nite life is on the increase. This town is rapidly rounding into a twenty-four hour city. I mean! Racketeers, in near 2 A. M. brawn in newest South Central Avenue Panther/Sweat Parlor.
Who is Al Hoffman, and what's his racket? Short, pudgy, Jewish avenue character, remains a mystery to most of us. Seems to have quite a bit of interest in Negro underworld characters, men and women. Is he some sort of observer, for some legitimate Oprah? Or is he sent from uptown to gain control of the Central Avenue vice concessions? Perhaps the police can tell: People are beginning to get inquisitive. Let's have the info.
Society leaders continue their nite life investigations. Colored people outshine whites, at Premiere opening of new show at the Apex Club. Colored men and women in formal attire no longer excite consternation.
Early morning autofans heading toward the Blaine-Nell Country Club at Watts. A red-hot spot. Ham actors, who talk too much for their own good, Henry Jones who handles the sports and theatrical news for the New Age Dispatch. Dorothy Yost, clever chorus, who tell 'em that East is East, and West is West. And do your roaming while in Rome!
**STOMPY**—Goes to, Cotton Club. Stompy Clemence, leaves the Moulin Rouge, with his stumps and all, and goes over to the Cotton Club. This is one entertainer that never fails to click, and as a consequence he is always employed. The boy has the staff and really knows how to sell it.
THE GREEN PAKROT—Quaint rendezvous for early morning breakfasts—or is it midnight supers? Seems to be one of the most popular and best known out-of-the-way places among those of the theatrical and sports set. And, the least known among those of the Hante Monde. There is no dangling permitted, and no cover charges, yet nite after nite the little place is crowded. Early morning dinners and light entertaining seems to be the real drawing card. The place is predeed over by "Pappy" Saunders, house manager with Sil Stewart, genial proprietor, on the sidelines.
THURSTON BRIGGS—Is the newest song and dance man added to the long list of celebrated actors, at the Apex Club. He is the same boy that almost stops the current show with his side-splitting comic dancing act. Yes, he is that tight. He tries well also, with Steven and Brown. Briggs has just recently returned to the footlights after a long lay-off. He appeared to have stuff that was hotter than fire in his-acts. Yet he claims to be just coming back! My, we would certainly like to see him at his best. We shall see.
ROY THOMPKINS—Long, lean and lanky motion picture player, bids fair to get over big in some of the forthcoming movietone productions. Roy has been for a long while connected with the movie game—gaining some very choice bits in some of the 'Big Shot' silent pictures. It has been discovered that he has a marvelous 'Talkie' voice. It is expected that the various Casting Agencies will call on him to sturk his stuff before a sound camera. Roy does comedies to a farewell—the well. Standing well over six feet in height, with the cat's bane, he is the cat's pajamas. I mean!
KID HERMAN—Can be termed one of the old faithfuls. The Kid probably knows more about the acting and mechanical and of the movie game, than any of the present crop of screen followers. Yet, somehow or another, it appears he is too frequently given the 'to-bye' by those in charge of the casting. Why? The Kid acts good, and makes friends readily. He is always in the company of those who can help him, then why not an occasional 'break?' He has the ability and he is a 'Negro' type. Quite sure he won't embarrass any one by not delivering the goods. Give him a chance.
CAROLYNNE SNOWDEN—Keeps lead, despite the fact that Mr. Curtis Mosby, genial proprietor of the Apex Club has imported some of the best Eastern talent, to augment the present All-Star cast shows. The current show proves her better than ever. Compared with this invading talent one may gain some idea just how good our local star entertainer is. It just needed the variety touch of Mr. Glencse Muse, present stage director, to bring out much of Miss Snowden's talent. She towered over the rest of the cast, with sheer ability and her ravishing personality. Consider such stars as Lee Taylor, Olghegna Anderson and Thiamston Briggs, among the newcomers, coupled with the regular cast; then you will know just how Miss Snowden rated in the 'Chocolate Kiddies Revue.

Stepen Fetchit Honor
Guest at Kentucky
Nite Club
Popular and highly talented young man proves most likecast Crowds go wild when actor does few of his very original numbers.
Stephen Fetchit seemed to enjoy it more than the crowds. Notwithstanding the fact that he is being constantly honored and press-agented by the white public, and daily press, he seemed to discount it all, and think of only the homage paid him by his own people. He hit it, and how. The club has probably never before resounded with such applause, as did greet the cars of the talented picture actor, Sunday night, April 14th.
The way Stephen took with the Kentucky Club patrons and the fact that he is a hit from the start with white audiences, stamps him as a Universal favorite. They halled him the living best!
ARCHERY ENCOURAGED
BY PLAYGROUND DEPT.
GREAT STRIDES have been made recently in the development of Archery as a major sport. Archers generally have come to appreciate the service which the Los Angeles Department of Playground and Recreation has developed. The development Leading archers of So. California are enthusiastically assisting the department through the Municipal Archery Association.
All archers are cordially invited to participate in the tournament.
Club Phenomenal
There is no night club in the entire country which will excel Carla Monroe's foramen Apex Club.
This fact was proved by a practical demonstration at the Framer Night on last Thursday evening with the combined actor, Charlene Mune, in the role of director. This particular evening was his initial performance in this role. The evening's startled off with a snap and vim which was noticeable to the end.
As a matter of fact the entertainment was full of merit and would credit to any stage in the entire country, in explorer and magnificent surroundings, myriads of lights amid flashes and the spot light, presented a scene of grandness and beauty.
Consisted of a bevy of high-brown, shapely and real artists, in their profession with contumes which hewildered the eye.
FEATURES
Every number was a feature, even unto the chorus itself. Special mention might be made of Miss Allegretto Anderson, international star, said to be the most shapely actress before the footlights. Also Carolyn Snowden, super-star, a production of the far West who all but stole the show; Miss Lee Taylor, whirlwind dancer who ranks with the leaders in her work. Ivy Anderson who demonstrated that an ace poses not in an actress process as a bundle of pack. The ever popular and versatile performer Luther Calborne excelled on this occasion. Sue Hoy with her stronghold of personality received a big hand. While "Sugar Foot Brown" a show in himself was an outstanding feature.
OTHER STARS
Responses by the entertained guests was the real feature of the night: "Stephen and Fetchit" of the Fox Viphane Co. responded with a characteristic rolling dance which in his own imminible manner brought down the house. "The Flying Fords" in their characteristic arms pleased to the忌暑. The "The Black Aces" ran true to form, their set was a riot. Emble Blake and Broadway Jones. Broadway stair received thundous applause. Broadway, were indeed a fitting climax to the greatest show of its kind ever given in these parts.
This great show was ably supported by Mosby's incomparable Blues Blowers and as forsale by a strong and beautified high-brown chorus.
It was the concensus of opinion that Curtis Mosby put over a face one for his patrons which reveals himself not only the prince of musicians but by long odds the greatest impresario that the great west can boast.
Much praise is due to all the official staff of the Apex and especially to the director of Publicity, Mr. C. A. Taylor for the unqualified success of Premier Night.
FIELDS' EIGHT ROUND
MUSHY CALLABAN SETTLES GRUDGE WITH SPRIG MEYERS AT OLYMPIC, TUESDAY
JACK TO REST ON RAINS
"Talk about your Dampage-Tunnel eight-foot found! That was nothing compared to the Thompson-Paladin eight-foot Mr. Scalpio Thomas, who was coached by the adviser of Young Jack Thompson, who shot rocket-like into the world's limelight when in two rounds he knocked out wetterweight champion Joe Dundee.
According to the real facts facts as related by Mr. Thompson, who is himself an ex-fighter, that 8th, 9th, round framed up, all that prevented him from being shot by a mounted belt away, that the com-mensions presented Jackie Fields.
This is the way it happened according to Skeptic's inside facts which are borne out by other ringgadgets who have returned here since then. Jack had just struck his stride in the seventh round and as even the Press reports stated, had landed some wicked blow on the Jewish boy reeling him groggy several times and crowding in to land the knock-out punch. Jack is a great finisher with the true "killer" instinct, but the bell stopped the action. Mr. Thompson has a photo which show Jack weakened and being help up by two of his seconds as he walked to his corner.
Just as the ball banged for the 81st Jack leaped out to finish Fields who had by no means recovered. Then as was revealed later Kenneth Taylor, a white man, started a racket with
MUSHY CALLABAN SET
SPRIG MEYERS AT O
Good matured as Mushy Callahan is (and all his Central Avenue friends among whom he was raised can testify to) i) he nurses as wished a growth against "Sprig" Meyers as any habitat hard hooded egg that ever grumbled instead of grinned.
So he asked for the boy he wishes most of all to amnihilate when he was offered a chance to reopen his career at the Olympic next Tuesday. This is "Sprig" Meyers who beat Mushy waken he was not at his best.
The junior welterweight champion is signed to mee "Spur" Myers, Pocatello boy who has always been a stumbling block.
Callahan returns to the Jack Doyle banner for the first time in more than a year. He has been boxing at Hollywood and out of the city for over 12 months.
Munyah started as a $25 fighter out at old Vernon. He went all the way to the fighter and fought many of his most impressive fighters for the veteran promoter.
He won his 190-pound title at a Doyle show—defeating Pinkey Mitchell.
Like Burt Colima, he is a Vernon product. Callahan has many friends around Doyle's ringside. They are happy to know that he looked great in his recent comeback bouts—scoring three straight kayes.
Colored Ass't. Director for 'Black Narcissus'
BUCK AND BUBBLES SIGNED FOR PRINCIPAL ROLE
Clever dance pair, that up until here of late brought down the houses over the Orpheum time, land featured roles in Pathe Studio's all-colored cast comedy 'Black Narcissus.' This is the first of one of the original stories from the pop of Hugh, Wiley.
It
Pays
The eminent unarmed Jack and an unarmed hostage leaping in the ring he asked, Jhaski, "What's the trouble?" "I don't know," answered Fields but both stopped fighting and went to their corner and it was fully 10 minutes before they were starred and rammed out as a number, but Thompson, was still nervous and excited, what with the grief of the wounded, and dying, and dread of Chicago's awful "mere riot."
So the boy could not half fight
those other two rounds and his
chance of stopping Fields was gone.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WILL TAKE REST IN COUNTRY
Jack's mother has become a real fight fan and occupies a ringside seat at most all his fights. But unlike most mothers she does not get excited when the battling gets rough. Jack adores her and listens to the advice she kindly and gently gives him. He has never been willing to like anywhere but with his parents.
After returning from Chicago he purchased a beautiful 10-acre ranch near Riverside in the rolling country and will take a long rest there among the cows and chickens, fresh air and sunshine, until ready to try again for that coveted crown.
EETLES GRUDGE WITH OLYMPIC, TUESDAY
It has been rumored and there has been no subsequent denial on the part of the studio manager that a new colored Assistant Director has been added to the directorial staff, in the person of a Mr. Foster of Chicago. Mr. Foster will work it is rumored under Mr. Powell and Mr. Glazier, director and assistant respectively. According to Mr. John Larkin, prominent colored actor of the legitimate stage and late of the screen, Foster is one of the best informed men concerning the Negro and his adaptability to the stage. He claims that Foster really knows now to bring the stuff out of his players. It is averred that the studio people will allow him ample opportunities to do so. This represents another milestone covered by colored actors in their march of progress. Thank Mr. Harris for his introduc-

BABY JOE GANS, the great little dusky battler from the coast, knocked out Jackie Brady, of Syracuse, in the eighth round of the semifinal scrap at the Arena last night.
Then a spectator, with a chair as his weapon, almost knocked out the victorious elbow warrior, amid an uproar that drove the police into searching for the culprit and Chairman Wielner into an impassioned outburst over the unsportsmanlike act.
It was the first time in the career of Brady that he ever was fattened, and he was beaten mercifully by his sable foe. The Empire State boys started away in great shape, but could not hold the pack.

Another San Bernardino boy makes his bid for fame in the lively world, when Sid Serta the sensational Mexican ballerina steps in the ring at Wrigley Field early in May to meet Tosie Morgan, for the junior Highweight clowns who who was the other from the Gee Gee Club that made a bid for fame? I refer to the one and only, Johnny Adams, the Mountain Lion.
Adams stepped out and made the top-notch boys in two givious fear him for his fighting ability, namely the lightweight and waterweight class. And as far as that goes the Lion is still giving the boys in the 150 pound class plenty of worry. Johnny made his biggest bid as a lightweight. As a lightweight he fought and defeated some of the best boxers in the country.
Adams fought Sammy Mandel the Champ in his division at Hollywood, and put the clever champ out" the forcestors by breaking a couple of his brains. The Mandel's his boxing ability, but he knew that he had been in a fight.
Johnny was sitting on top of the world after this fight, and seemed headed for the top sure. His next battle was with the Wild Cat. Ace Hudkins and strange to say he beat him in a ten-round affair at the Olympic.
There is an interesting angle that comes in right about here and will also serve as a point to get back to Sal.
The Mountain Lion boat Hudkins when the ace was cutting such a fire-rome among the lightweight boys, but since that time the ace has grown to a middleweight and is now ranking among the world's greatest fighters; while Adams, the box that beat him as a lightweight, and now tipping the Fairbanks at 150, is rated as a third rater in ranks of the many boxers of the state. Just an example of what self-preservation will do. Nothing else but that, because Johnny is every bit the fighter Hudkins is, when it comes down to fighting. Neither one knows what it is to back up.
To set back to Sal. Sorta is determined to become the world's first Mexican champion at any cost, and the experts throughout the state who have seen the kid perform say that he stands a good chance to slip that crushing iron right of his over on Morgan and send him to Morpheus, the god of sleep.
MADE WONDERFUL COMEBACK
Sal put the hooks on Frankie Boldt last Thursday night in his home town for his ninti' straight K. @ since he started his sensational comeback some months ago.
This will be Soria's second chance at the big dough, and fame. He had to be careful, because he lost by the knock-out route to Sanger and Fernandez.
But since that time Joey has hung up the gloves for a while at least, Fernander is fighting at the small clubs, while the Kid Sovia is just beginning, and rates a shot that is too frog to put on in the largest fight house in the state.
on a paying Lasis, Kid Chocolate is his ring name. He fought for $60 as late as last August. He is now rejecting $7500 guarrantees is sought wherever-leather is hurled

Mr. A. L. Glover is sporting his new car in different parts of the city. This was surprising to his colleagues as they knew he was in the market, but who thought the market was so close to this brother. Why the rush? Mr. George Taylor was absent a few days this week.

SHE CANT MAKE GOOD BREAD
"Should the Woman Tell," a dramas that is as powerful in its human appeal as "The Unborn," comes to the Lincoln Theater on Monday night and promises to provide audiences with an evening of genuine entertainment. The play is from the pens of George M. Cohan and Max Harcin, both of whom have gained international reputations on their merit of their legitimate attractions. Marcin is the author of "Cheating Cheaters" the "Crook" drama in which the Lafayette Players appeared a few months ago, and Cohan has turned out numerous hits. Evelyn Preer plays the leading role in "Should the Woman Tell," and will appear as "Margaret Case," a girl who marries the man she loves without confiding to him certain facts regard-

You already know the food value of the main ingredients we use pure cream, milk, sugar, and flavor, but you may not realize the importance of the final item, gelatin. It is a protein food of high nutritive value. It is an aid in the digestion of other foods. Only about a teaspoonful to a quart is used to make ice cream more easily digested and smoother.

POLITICAL POT PIE
If it is! You will find it in the Pot Pit. Playing no favorites but right down to the hard pan every minute of the time.
The Greer forces put out the big tanks the past week and it seems they made much hay.
Take it or leave it, Big Jim Alexander puts out some real sizzling hot stuff and is causing the wires ones to gasp as he preaches the Carlin Smith case for Mayor.
John W. Fowler, leader of the Greer forces, is overlooking no angle of the game for his man.
Go out to one or more of the many political mealtings and get an ear full.
The political hustlers say that the preachers have taken the day and they cannot get into the warriors' headquarters because the preachers have them crowded out.
Following the United Veterans of the Republic endorsement of Councilman E. Snapper Ingram, candidate for election as councilman from the Tenth District at the primary election May 7, several other service organizations announced that they are in favor of the ex-service man and will support him in his campaign.
In accordance with his policy of economy without depriving his district and the city of any necessary improvements, Councilman Howard W. Davis of the Seventh District, recently submitted before the City Council a resolution in which he recommended that Normandie avenue between Exposition Boulevard and Manchester avenue be widened only 10 feet instead of 20 feet as proposed.
Councilman Douglas E. Foster was greatly responsible for the issuance of the short term bonds which were used by the city in shouldering the damage incurred when the St. Francis dam disaster occurred, and which made it possible to continue without an increase in the water rates. The issuance of the bonds not only lowered the rate kept at the same level and general tax rates throughout the city maintained without any material increase but it mad

possible a general reduction in all rates which likely will go into effect with the beginning of the next fiscal year, July 7, 1929, Councilman Foster indicated.
With a record of five consecutive elections and a long list of public improvements beneficial to both his district and the city as a whole, Win J. Sanborn, candidate for election, at the May 7 primaries, is regarded as the veteran of the City Council.
Sanborn first entered public office in 1919 when he was elected one of the city's Councilmen of large. His ability and earnestness while in office resulted in his twice being re-elected in that capacity. When the city was divided into councilmanic districts in 1926, he was again elected to the City Council, this time from the Ninth District of which he had been a resident for 45 years. At the last election, in 1927, he was returned to that office at the primaries out of a large field of opponents.
SAVES TAXPAYERS MONEY
The entire cost of the structures is expected to amount to approximately $11,000,000. This expense is being shared by the county, the city, and the three steam and two electric railways benefitting from the project. As in the past, Councilman Sanhorn has saved the taxpayers directly affected by these improvements from assessments by obtaining allocations from the general funds and getting the railroads to pay their share of the improvements.
The viaducts, while most outstanding of achievements by Sanhorn during his career in the City Council and six years as chairman of its bridges, tunnels and viaducts committee, are only part of his accomplishments. Among other things, he has been successful in obtaining the construction of more than 40 tunnels at principal Sutsections for the protection of school children and other pedestrians.
There is no office in the gift of the people of more importance than that of Judge, hence the necessity of a careful comparison of the aspirants.

THE HUMAN SIDE OF THE MAN
A history of impending in one of the establishments will convince any one of the wisdom of the loyal men and women of Los Angeles who persuaded the head of the firm to make the sacrifice and offer himself as a candidate for the most important position in the city, that of Mayor.

the handwork of the Master mind, it was his genius that combined with his associates has made Greer-Rabkins one of the most successful concerns in Los Angeles. With the spirit of Henry Ford his employees idolize him.
In his home, places of business, in the city and on his two ranches in San Joaquin Valley, the people who work for him are more to him than employees, they are his loyal friends. I never saw a finer devotion in all of my life than that of the 47 men of our race who have been in the employ of the 47 men of every man of them and every member of their 47 families would do anything for their calef.
Mr. Greer is tall of stature and not unlike Abraham Lincoln in character, like all truly big men who are, easily approached and make the humblest person feel at ease in his presence. He knows something of the struggles of the weak. A man qualified by nature to walk with Kings and Potentates, yet has never lost the common touch.
A man devoted to the interest of Los Angeles and when elected, will guard the fair name of our city. Mr. Greer's record of 28 years in Los Angeles will be remembered and forerest or forget a true friend will not forget PERRY H. GREER on Election Day.

Since my early girlhood I had been troubled with unsightly skin blemishes. Muddy blotches, pimples and blackheads made my life a nightmare. Naturally, I wasn't popular with the boys for they had no time for an ugly duckling. I tried one preparation after another with no success. Alas, my heart was heavy and I seemed destined to be an old maid. And then—a miracle happened! An aunt of mine, knowing my trouble, bought me some Golden Brown Beauty Ointment. With a heart heavy with previous disappointment I started to use it only half heartedly. But imagine my surprise when, after the first night's use, I was amazed to see the startling change that had taken place. Every night I used my Golden Brown Ointment religiously. My complexion was attaining a natural, healthy beauty—and my friends marvelled. Life seemed one glad, sweet song. Then followed "dates," popularity, social triumphs, culminating in a wonderful romance in which I won the most wonderful husband in all the world. And most of the credit, my friends, is due to Madame Mamie Hightower and her inimitable ointment.

The Graduate Chapter of the Girls Reserves held a very successful "Rag Doll" dance, Saturday, April 13th at the Y. W. C. A. 12th Street Branch. The girls had plenty of red hot music. Miss Allen, Miss Evelyn Eldridge and Miss Florence Cainfe, as well as "Big Six" and his "Pepper Shakers" kept the guests continually on the floor. "Big Six" and his orchestra would make many 'round town orchestras look mighty sick. Miss Marguerite Pollock, who headed each Sit in 'Trone' at the Lincoln Theatre not so long ago, sang that popular song entitled "Glad Rag Dell". Delicious Delicious runch and candy were sold during intermission.
Saw a young sprout looking wistfully at a dress suit in the window of an industrial store on the Avenue. Maybe he's planning on going to the Silver Fox Formal, the 26th of this month.
Miss Harriette Jones, of 1683 West 35th Street who for the past three years served as the very excellent Secretary of Attorney Willis C. Tyler, received the appointment, thus the medium of the Civil Service Commission of Assistant Stenographer in the correspondence department of the County Assessors office, Thursday, April 11th.
Miss Jones is a very popular member of the younger set, active in club and church work, being a member of St. Phillip Episcopal Church Choir, her host of friends wish she will continue ever climbing.

Impromptu dances and imitations by most of the guests was a feature of the evening. A delicious midnight repast was served by the hostess.
Miss Victoria Spivey, nationally known O. K. Blues singer, who gained local fame by the protrayal of the ingene in M. G. M.'s "Halloween" all colored cast super film, is now housekeeping, having decided that hotels and apartments, while spelling class, sometimes do not always spell comfort and home. Miss Spivey is a home at 1182% E. 52nd street. Somehow we can't associate the charming Miss Spivey with such household drudgery as washing dishes, cooking and ironing, but such work does keep the figure trim, or at least so the physical culture magazine, state.
Miss Thelma Porter, who is of the army of the "unemployed," living on the interest from her vast income, was seen at the Smith for Mayor political meeting, Monday evening, at the 20th Street School. Miss Porter was the cynosure of the assembly as she steadily pushed ye old pencil in her role of reporter. And when Thelma reports a meeting, its really reported.
The working staff of the California Eagle were entertained with a sumptuous dinner at the residence of Editor and Asst Editor, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bass. The occasion also served as a business meeting.
Many of the Silver Foxes are still panting from the exertion of mailing and addressing invites to their formal on the 26th, and all of the members plan to go in seclusion after the affair as many people who have not received invitations will be after their Pioneer Club, No. 1, will hold its Annual Sermon at 2nd Baptist Church, 24th and Griffith Ave., Sunday, April 21, at 11 A.

Mr. Geo. Lockett, sensible young man whose spare time is so valuable to a certain apone, momentarily became unbalanced and purchased all automobile last week, which for some reason hasn't been exposed to public view. However, friends have patience. It won't be long before he'll be singing "Me and My Lady Friend," instead of that time honored musical hit, "Me and My Shadow."
Eddie Colins, wide-awake business man, has taken over a vegetable stand at Hooper Avenue and 21st St. With a first class restaurant and vegetable business it won't be long before someone will be trying to sell him a Dusenberg or Ford. Look out, Eddie, watch your step.
Accidently encountered Walter Boyer, an old San Jose friend the other day after a 25-year intermission of friendly relationship. Time, if appearances count, had evidently dealt kindly with him for he looked the picture of health, unimpaired by age. Great and we lingered for a considerable time in the company of each other and then parted in company with Lizade, and he with his lady friend.
Last Sunday the unusual happened. Politics ran religion out of several churches. Yes, sir he strutted boldly im and seated himself on the right hand side of the pastor, while delegates seeking office followed right behind him and took front seats.
That the Omnipotent was surprised
of the various congeners.
We have quite often at various times in our life seen the church, the pastor and politics cannivig. We have seen the church doors opened in mid-week to receive this bird with both his corrupt and uncorrupt associated but never before have we seen him boldly strut down the church aisle on God’s day, chloroform the ushers and force the pastor to recognize and substitute him in the place of God. While we carry in our mind a broad-minded type of religion we haven’t as yet reached that point where we believe political politics should substitute religious practices on Sunday. Go now. He goes on slowly a dangerous road you’re traveling and the fellow ahead has no tail light.
The late Madam Walker gave to the nation and the Negro a new and profitable business enterprise in the manufacture of half preparation for medicines.
White concerns seeing the field to draw from and the money to be made seized upon the opportunity to emulate and imitate the Madam.
So eager were they to succeed that The Golden Brown Co. of Memphis, in seeking druggists to handle their products said in their baited letter, "the average DARKY will be interested in a dyeed-in-the-luck bax." Well, it's an old saying but nevertheless it's true, "Chickens come home to roost even if they have to hire a taxi." We believe that this business concern that considers the Negro an ignorant sucker, whose patronage can be bained by insulting them is going to have plenty of time to reflect.
Roy L. Lorgins, our real estate friend who was recently accused of owning a beautiful Packard, he stepped out of on 41st street, shook his head, hands, legs and feet all at one time as he vehemently expostulated—No brother, No, not guilty!
H. D. Greer, the man who speaks and writes seven languages finely, in addition to being an orator and professor of music, was noticed the other day occupying space on the political classic of a well-named automobile running for office in the coming election. Greer generally picks a winner.
We discovered Mrs. Catherine Barr at the wheel of a Hidson not long ago. Last time we saw her she was in company with an Axes but that was some time-ago. We assume it was her perogative to change if she so chose, so said nothing.
Have you ever noticed the fact that there are more high-priced new autos stabled on Central Avenue between 38th and 39th than anywhere on the East Side? We don't know way but there must be a reason. Think it over.
Wood Wilson since he came into possession of his new six-cylinder Dodge is hard to find at home. Office visits by appointment the sign reads.
We are seeing a great deal of C. H. Alston in our travels here and there about of late. He is much like the ground hog which makes it appearance annually and not seeing its shadow it hunts its hole. Brother Alston comes on the Avenue also annually and if he can see or scent politics in the atmosphere he gets busy looking for political chairmanship jobs. He seldoms falls for he has a wonderful political gift of gab.

The long talked about Penny Hop of the Junior N. A. A. C. Ps. was given Friday, April 12th at the Women's Club House in Venice and as the old saying goes—everybody and his brother and sister attended. At a Penny a dance the young folks scampered around the floor. The price of a hundredth of Uncle Sam's almighty dollar did lessen their number, all danced and had a good time. The purpose of this affair was to raise the Charter Money for the Junior Society. From reports the party was a great success. The services rendered by members of the Senior organization who helped make the "Hor" what it turned out to be. They are as follows: Mr. C. G Tabor, Mr. Arthur L. Reese and Mr. J. B. Maxwell.
Monday, April 1st, financial reports were made by the contestants of the N. A. A. C. P. Popularity Contest. The reports were very gratifying, and show promise that the campaign will be a success. Keen rivalry is expected before the close of the contest in June, and it is manifested already in the few benefit socials that have thus far been given. It is the desire of those handling this drive that it be conducted in the most impartial manner—so that all concerned may have a fair and equal chance.
REV. G. A. MILLER ORDAINED
Sunday, April 17, Rev. G. A. Miller, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Venice, was ordained. The sermon was preached by Rev. L. M. Curtis of the Macedonia Baptist Church of Watts. A large attendance was present at the services. The new pastor and his cabinet are planning program of work that will reach the entire community, more about this will be announced at a later date.
THE SONG OF THE PINES
Low and sweet to my listening ear
Comes the song of the wind-blown
pine
pine
These mighty trees whose tall heads
rear
Are the strings to the harp of time.
No instrument ever made by man
Can equal the tone of the forest
pine
Nor yet can ever a mortal hand
Finger these strings of the harp of
time
They sing of the little seeming
That grew in the days grown dim.
How it grew to a towering Titan—
And for many a century has stood
Deniant against the wind and rain'
The Lord of all the wood!—
The volume of the song increases
As the wind tunes twig and bough
Each one a tone releases
As the great trees in rythm bow!

With the completion of its nineteenth distributing station recently the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has concluded an important phase of its major construction program within the city according to a statement issued by H.

Over a five year period just ended the Department in line with its program of meeting efficiently and economically the light and power needs of Los Angeles, has erected 19 power distributing stations in addition to a large number of small stations.
When the City took over the Southern California Edison Company system in 1922 a plan of im- plementation equally equipping the lines was outlined. From 1924 the ward the building of substantial structures has been continued. There are now 42 electrical distributing stations in the City.

Now that the Popularity Contest has started, we are just curious to know which one of the eight brown-skinned damselfis is going to win. However, we do know that petite Miss Lina Jean Richardson has quite a few tickets in circulation in her honor.
Since there was such a request from San Pedro that we add two more of their young ladies to the list of contenders, we have gotten ten instead of the eight decided on at first.
Mr. and Mrs. K. Pearson arrived in Long Beach last week from Chicago, Illinois. They are now living with Mrs. Grace Hubbard at 1850 Locust Avenue. Mrs. Hubbard possesses a lovely modern stucco bungalow; so we can't blame these visitors for stopping with her.
The Long Beach Industrial Association sponsored a Mid-Night Ramble last Saturday night at the West Coast Imperial Theater. "Harts in Dixie," an all-colored star cast talkie was the means of entertainment. Many people from Los Angeles, San Pedro, Wilmington as well as Long Beach attended the benefit affair which was indeed quite a success. We just want to know when we will be treated with another.
Miss Lula Jean Richardson motored to San Diego last Sunday with Messrs. Herbert Niel and Ellis Salisbury of Los Angeles. They stopped at La Jolla beach to make a call on a friend of theirs.
Mr. Lewis is the new proprietor of the famous La Verne Cafe. Mrs. Levi Howard, after having made such a success with the business, has decided to retire. We hope the Mr. Lewis will be able to give as good a means as did "Mother, Howard." Congratulations, Mr. C. Lewis.

PACIFIC COAST CLUB NEWS
By Miss Ellen Ramsay
A bright remarked passed by one of the male employees; What is this? of the male employees; "What is this? the Pacific Coast Sanitarium?" No, the maids have simply changed uniforms and are wearing white for the summer. However, you have to give it to them. It is really tight.
It keeps one busy trying to give the new waiters a welcome; but anyway, boys, luck be with you.
It is being rumored that the boys are going to give a real party the end of this month at one of the popular night clubs. More about it next week.
Bids are now out for the formal dance to be given by the Silver Fox Club of which our popular waiter, Robert Kelsey is president, don't feel hurt, however, you don't get one for remember there will always be one better (No foolin')
The Mrs. Hubbard, Taylor and Bradley were among those who witnessed the wonderful Negro Tenor program, Roland Hayes, who sang at the Municipal Auditorium last Friday. Some class to P. C. C.
CAN YOU TELL ME
Just where and who was the fair damsel that said a certain petite waiter resembled Harold Lloyd? What a sad mistake.
It is possible at this day and age a man is so humble? Well, anyway now does it feel to have an umbrella broken over one's head?
We wonder why it is that ever so often a certain prize fighter goes in for training; fights a couple of months or maybe. Then, slacks up? Well boys, it's mighty nice to keep in trim.
Two maids in the check room: Here comes "Pai"—Oh excuse me, I thought you were the other maid? (Can you figure out that expression?)
Wonder why two certain maids blame certain little episodes on their poor relief maid? (Is that nice?)
Why one certain waiter likes to
hit the tip of his finger,
didn't he do that feel, hear?
Welcome sunshine. The rain causes new cars as well as old ones considerable trouble, but don't try fixing your own car, waiters are not always good mechanics.
Our P. C. C. waiters certainly enjoy riding along the ocean front and venture as far away as Belmont shore, a beautiful beach and lot of sand.
We suggest that pay day should be declared a legal holiday for the convenience of some of our waiters.
It would be lots of fun if our P. C. C. mails should give a dance and show our boy just how it is done. (Now, don't get excited).

Last Sunday at the A. M. E. Church was a big Rally Day and Old Fashion Basket Dinner was served for all. Many out-of-town guests were present. Rev. Choice and members from Redland worshipped with us in the afternoon service; a nunmer also from San Bernardino. Rev. Hinds, pastor of Park Ave. Baptist Church preached an excellent; sermon at 3 P. M. to a crowded house. Our own Rev. John Porter preached in the evening, also a wonderful sermon; well was a disciple, already work has been on the church, painting it and it is looking very nice. We are thankful to every Captain who did so wonderful.
The sad news of the death of Mr. Wm. Reynolds came to us Sunday. This was his home for many years, he was well known and a host of friends mourn his passing. He moved to Los Angeles about six years ago.
SICK: Mrs. Gertrude Scott is still in the Hospital. We hope for her early recovery. All other sick is still on the mend.

The practice of political injustice and inequality creates internal friction and strife; disturbs the stability and weakens the power of governmental function: Political parties will always divide public opinion and there will forever be grievance committees bringing its complaints to public officials and governmental departments. Our little group frequently forgets the originality, the consistency and the humanity of those political leaders who defend their cause, champion their rights and fight for their proper representation and increase of opportunities; unwilling to sacrifice them in the mass to the opinion of a leader with less experience and wisdom than their own.
Now, we are called upon to bring to the attention of the citizens of Los Angeles a defect in the practice of Civil Service. 'It is hoped we are not too severe to persuade our present Mayor and the Police Commission to bring about certain changes, which in their effect and operation, deprive capable and worthy contestants of merited and desired promotion. And it is further prayed that we are not too bold to convinve the Mayor and the Commission that our citizenship, our population, our representation, our individual and collective interests warrants and justify promotion for those employed in the city government, whose capacity once conduct, who by dint of penetration and unsumming fitness are eligible for such.
This idea has been gradually created and a species of faith in its author leads us to believe that a relentless fight will be waved for promotion of those Colored Police Officers who are now held back or disqualified in the oral tests, set forth by the Examiners, and after making the required proficiency in their written exams.
His conspicuous difference between the theory and the practice of our city government alarms us. The statement might infer a charge, malfeasance, a breach of trust, a miscarriage of justice a studious evasion on the part of some of our city officials.
There is objection to any institution founded on prejudice, because the principle is unnatural unfair and wrong; for the prejudice arises from defect or perversion of the understanding in those things which fall properly under its jurisdiction. Prejudice arises from these circumstances which are properly subjects of feeling and association.
We believe we are entitled to criticize an abuse when we, have mastered the idea of the use of an institution, and irregularity and abuse cannot be excused on the grounds that we are afraid to condemn them. It is no longer the custom to excuse what we fear to condemn.
We are tired of this passing the buck, shifting responsibility, begging the question and dodging the issue political makeshift and subterfuge.
Let us have a strict adherence to the principles of our City Charter, a definite interpretation of what is found in it, then it will be possible for individuals of real and personal merit to take Civil Service Examinations without hesitation or reservation, knowing that he has every possible chance of being selected and appointed.

ALEXANDER THROWS A FEW BOMBSHELLS
In introducing Mr. Smith, Jim Alexander took occasion to drop a few political lombshells, he spoke right out in church and gave his listeners a thrill about underworld politics, etc.
He said among other things:
"A person cannot back a candidate successfully unless he knows the record of his candidate's opponents; this is judged by the company which the opponent keeps. I know well the treatment that has been handed out and received by my people during the pres-
ent administration. Let us take one of the candidates, John Quinn, who is also running for mayor.
of the candidates, John Quinn, who is also running for mayor.
"Mr. Quinn's record is outstanding, judging by his associates. He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention last year held at Kansas City, and he was a party to the organization of the same, which ousted nearly every representative of our group from politics, including such men as Ben Davis, Perry Howard, Robert Church, Bill McDonald, etc., and put in their places such men as the leaders of the Ku Klux Klan. However, this is but in keeping with his action when John Quinn led the parade of the Ku Klux Klan at Santa Barbara just a few years ago. Colonel Mann sent Dr. Works out here to line up for a Republican that it was well to have Republican mayors in all our big cities. I say, the proposition is rather to have Ku Klux mayors all over the country.
"I am not afraid to say these things as I know, that they are true, if they are not, I am more than likely to be in jail tomorrow. Now, you just see for yourself whether I am there to morrow or not.
"Mrs. Ida Koverman who is the secretary of the Republican County Central Committee, helped to recommend persons for Federal positions, citizens who were veterans. We had two of our own certified from Camp Baker No. 71. Two real men, Mesrs. Montgomery and Haynes. They were not accepted. They were turned down on account of their color. John Quinn was back of this. Now, Mrs. Koverman is one of Quinn's chief backers.
"Our history is in front of us. If we are going to fight for old glory and our country, let us fight for ourselves and our young.
"Harry Chandler and the L. A. Times are backing Quinn. If for no other reason than that, we should not vote for him. I know Chandler well. I have worked for him, and we all know that he and the Times are really against us. In a cartoon on the front page of one of therest issues of the Times, there are the drawings of two colored people in regard to the cement trust. They wanted to convey the idea of something low and degrading, and the lowest thing they could think of was a colored man!
"They tried to make a proposition to me, pledged me to secrecy, that if I would be with them they would see to the opening of more bootlegging joints and pool halls. I refused. I don't like that kind of a man or his associates. I want a magnificent man, one who has no preferences, who believes in a spare deal to all regardless of race, creed or color. One who will stop Jim Davis and his bunch of thugs from bursting into people's
homes without warrants and beating our people unmercifully. Because I wouldn't accept their proposition, they sent some man to try to shoot me.
"There is the Jacobson case. If there was one man that was really and truly framed it was Carl Jacobson, I really know that he was framed. That is another one of Jim Davis". That was also done through Jim Davis and his thugs. That is really all they are, a bunch of thugs.
"The man I am backing is a business man and knows no color, he is a man for the people and by the people, he stands for justice to all regardless of color or creed—and that man is Carlin G. Smith.
"No man can be a K. K. K. that belongs to the "Native Sons of California" and Mr. Smith belongs to that organization."

WONDERFUL INDUCEMENT
IN FRATERNALS
Aside from the fraternal part and association therein of the people, could but visualize the progressive trend of this great order it would indeed be overwhelmed with application for membership. Of course it maintains a steady growth, but there would be no comparison to the same when its mission and its accomplishments are generally known.
Take the proposition of the Odd Fellows Home located near Fresno. The order is not only looking out, for a home but has acquired a large tract of acreage and looking out for production from the soil of the earth.
The benefit Endowment department excels any similar kind in the entire country, a bigger benefit at the least cost is indeed a boom to its members. Through this department the order has paid out many thousands of dollars during its inception some 9 years ago. This department is not surfetted with a galaxy of high salaried officers. As a matter of fact, one officer designated as Secretary/Treasurer has most successfully conducted this department to its present high state of prefection from its incipiency. Great praise is due the order for this department.
The other departments headed by Executive head who resides in this city with a grand Secretary at the State Capital and other officers through out the district makes up a most wonderful organization which makes it one of the most desirable faternal orders extant.
The Grand Annual Session will be held in this City in the month of August, this year and from all reports will be one of the big events of the season.

Editorial
MEMBER
NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS
ASSOCIATION
The following is an excerpt from an editorial in the last issue of the "Chicago Bee" and to a marked degree, is a diagnosis of the situation as it exists in this, the wonder city of the world. We are sure those who understand and keep in touch with passing events will readily connect these excerpts up with our own situation especially so in far as political recognition and accomplishments are concerned.
Only here in this bailiwick we might add, selfish greed is the rock upon which the whole fabric founders. If perchance one gets a foot hold in political endeavor, they are so shortsighted and selfish that he will not help anyone else except himself. This situation coupled with the issue as set forth by the "Bee" puts the group patriots of Los Angeles in a sorry plight indeed.
"The many ills resultant upon the sudden shift of the Negro population from the south to the north, east and west, which had been gradual, was forecast for a number of years before it actually took place; yet, little in a highly organized, practical way was done to anticipate and provide solutions for the many problems arising therefrom. And what few individuals and organizations that undertook the tasks received very little support from the people.
"Catastrophe after catastrophe has been allowed to overwhelm us, and the crash of disaster has fallen upon us time and again; yet, we pay little attention to the thunders of forecasts that warn and warn us.
"The Fact Finding Conferences, the Urban League, the N. A. A. C. P., and not a few Solomons including our substantial men and women leaders whose lives of honest endeavor and self-sacrificing proclaim their honesty and sincerity, try vainly to interest our masses and intelligensia in practical programs, but to no avail.
"That these programs will continue to annoy, confuse and slow up if not arrest our progress along all lines is certain, unless new zeal and interest be stirred up and continued and permanent efforts along sane and practical lines be followed by an interested, enthused public.
"Our situation in Chicago is appalling. It has long since been apparent and its present disasterous results pointed out, time and again, by interests whose love of race and desire of its progress and success was and is unselfish, whole-hearted and honest."
"Here we have had unprecedented opportunities in all walks of life, and at one time our aggressiveness was rewarded by such friendly and co-operative encouragement by the populace that Chicago was christened a veritable paradise. But all that has been more or less changed and it is fast becoming rather a paradise of fools being led to an inglorious and unhappy end by disreputable and criminal political sportsmen aided and abetted by unscrupulous grafting preachers, gamblers, policy tarons, who have usurped the leadership of a hapless people, sold them to white political plunderers and who persist in following the councils of discredited white politicians."

Are you successful? Are you a "go-getter?"
These two questions do not mean one and the same thing.
The writers of books on "How to Succeed" think they do; but they don't.
It is possible for a "go-getter" to be successful. It is also possible to be successful without being a "go-getter."
The "go-getter" is the individual who starts out to make as much money as he can, or to climb as high as he can. The Roman Emperor Maximin was a "go-getter." In his youth he was a Thracian shepherd; but being ambitious and about eight feet tall he joined the army and won rapid promotion. His one idea was to get ahead, and he was not particular as to the means. He secured the favor of the Emperor Alexander Severus, and repaid him by having Alexander put to death in Maximin's own tent. Maximin was then proclaimed emperor. The "go-getter" had succeeded. But he was not a success. After three bloody years he was assassinated by his own army.
While Maximin was having his ups and downs, there were a few million Romans not mentioned by Gibbon who were marrying and raising families and educating their children and keeping their promises and trying to be decent, self-respecting citizens. In the opinion of Maximin and the authors of books on "Success," they were probably no-accounts, failures.
But in the long history of the human race they were the successes, Maximin and his like the failures.

The great prodigality of nature in her efforts to supply man with food and with shade from the heat of a scorching sun is indicated with indisputable evidence by a glance at some of the trees as they now appear, laden with spring blossoms. It is also self-evident that not nearly all of the blossoms with their promise ever mature. If they did a tree which bears countless fragrant blossoms would not be able to carry the load of mature fruit. It would be a strange provision of nature that all the apples born on a tree should mature and, dropping to the ground, propogate other apple trees. Soon there would be a thicket of scrubby fruit trees and not on would bear full-sized fruit.
Beyond the material view of the blossoms on a fruit tree, the esthetic side has a strong appeal. The mass of delicate pink and white blossoms almost hiding the limbs and twigs delight the eye with their tints. Nature has outdone man with her color work. And the faint perfume which is so prodigally scattered on the winds certainly in itself would justify the care of the trees.
If one can breathe the entrancing perfumes from a wild grabapple tree, which in desolation is doing its bit to make the world a pleasant place to live in, and think the tree is worthless because the fruit is small and the branches are protected by spines, then indeed nature is a closed book and apples and other fruit need not exist outside of a fruit stand.

"Little drops of water, little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean, and the pleasant land." This immortal couplet of Julia Carney's holds a moral for every citizen and merchant in Los Angeles. It stands as a warning against buying from mail order houses. The buyer reasons with himself or herself that the one or two 90 cents or $2.98 purchases made during the course of a year from a mail order catalog will not react to the visible injury of local trade. And they would not if only a few persons made them. But where there are thousands of these "little drops of water and little grains of sand" they make the mighty small order houses and "break" the small town.

order concerns the bulk of their revenue.
There should be less out-of-town trading because merchants here need all of Los Angeles’ business and Los Angeles needs all its merchants; because none of the money sent to out-of-town merchants comes back, while the larger part of that spent at home remains in local circulation; because prosperous merchants mean a prosperous community and prosperous citizens.
But the responsibility does not rest entirely upon the shoulders of the buyers. It is the duty of every citizen to buy here and of every merchant to make it easier, by advertising and better stocks, to shop here.

COMMENTS
Impeachments still hold the spotlight on the front page. There is a song going the rounds of the public offices, especially the executive offices, which is titled, "The Impeachment Man Will Get You if You Don't Look Out." The House of the Louisiana legislature has voted the impeachment charges against Governor Huey Long, and his friends are using every strategy known to politics and parliamentary usage to block it in the senate. The youthful Governor is making a fight for, not only his political life, but his personal reputation. W. J. Kohler, Governor of Wisconsin, is facing a civil action brought about to remove him from office. The charge is the violating of the corrupt practices act in the primary campaign. "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown," might be paraphrased in this day to read, "Uneasy lies the head which wears the Halo of Political Power." The impeachment trial of Judge Carlos Hardy, now in process before the senate body of the California legislature, has not been of a sensational character. Nothing startling has been developed. The galleries are crowded each day with the curious, hopeful of some salacious morsel, but to date nothing has been uncovered to sir the emotions. Nothing bearing on the famous "Kidnapping" case has entered into the proceedings thus far. The curious are patiently waiting to see Mrs. Aimee McPherson, the stormy petrel of modern evangelism, placed on the witness stand. Bets are being made that the judge will be convicted. So far the defense is trailing.
Is there an attempt to whitewash the police officers charged with the beating of James Bate, a Negro deputy sheriff, or have the people charged with the investigation of the matter gone off at "haff cock"? A letter was read before the Police Commission of Los Angeles city, from Mr. Anderson, chairman of the Constitutional Rights Committee of the Los Angeles Bar Association, apologizing for a criticism made against the commission for shelving the complaint made against the four officers charged with the offense. The president of the commission is quoted as saying, "that the commission was very glad to hear from people who take trouble to investigate matters. The impression had been gained that the officers had beaten and killed a man." He said, "In view of the testimony this is untrue." One of the commissioners repudiated the assertion of satisfaction as far as he was concerned and denounced the communication from the chairman of the Constitutional Rights Committee. He said that another hearing of the case should be held. It appears that Bate, serving in the office of the sheriff of Los Angeles county, was severely beaten by a squad of four officers while on his way home. It is claimed that the beating hastened his death. Civil action was brought and it is alleged, damages secured by Bate's widow. The case has been dragging since 1923. Now, those officers are either guilty of unwarranted assault or they are not. The "passing of the buck" is a political qualification, but here is a case where the cards should be placed on the table face up.
It seems a settled fact that former vice-president Dawes, will be the Ambassador to the Court of St. James. From an international viewpoint this is one of the happiest selections made by the President. There can be no question of the diplomatic fitness of the appointee. Nor will there be any question as to his upholding the standard of the country he represents. He will not twist the Lion's tail, neither will he feed him sugar. If the beast becomes a bit unruly and inclined to growl, our Diplomat will just tickle him behind the ear until he purrs. In the meantime Mr. Dawes has another mission to perform—stabilizing the finances of the Dominican Republic. It is this disposition to aid others in the stabilization of world affairs which stamps the former Vice-President as a statesman of the first quality. The Dominican Republic covers two-thirds of the West Indian Islands. Haiti covers the western third. The people of Santo Domingo are a mixture of European, African and Indian blood. The resources of country—gold, copper, iron, salt, petroleum. The riches of the country are undeveloped. They need the awakening hand of modern progress. Haiti is in much the same condition. If anything, more so. There appears to be a sentimentality concerning the country of Tousaint L'Overtour which has kept aloof the hand of modern progressiveness. Both countries have been torn asunder by internecine strife which has been the cause of their backwardness. Armies composed entirely of generals never won a war. A country devoid of sincere patriotism, and unselfish devotion to the public weal cannot go forward. Santo Domingo has taken the wise step.
Now ladies, again you are giving "mere man" the merry giggle. And we don't know what it is all about.

porations of wealth, are women. 80 per cent of the beneficiaries of life insurance are women. Analysis of income-tax receipts show that 139 women paid tax on incomes in excess of $500,000 and 44 of incomes over $1,000,000. Women are rapidly gaining control of matters political as well as financial. When they are able to hold the financial club over the head of the "Lord of Creation" he can bid his boasted supremacy a lasting, if not fond, good-bye. This metamorhposis of the feminine character is interesting. The change is too complicated for quick analysis. What will be the outcome, and how will it affect society; the home? Is it one of the inevitable laws of nature, or is it just the extreme swing of the pendulum before resuming its normal position? They are questions of interest, if not serious, moment.
TO STRESS 4 POINTS
President Hoover has completed the first draft of the message he will transmit to the special session of the New York Congress, principal, recommendations.
Four principal recommendations will be made by the President:
The women of Egypt have awakened and thrown off the inferiority complex which, heretofore, has subjected them to the whimsicals of the male. Like their western sisters the first sign of rebellion to established customs was in throwing off their national costumes and donning silk hosiery; western footwear and short skirts. Of course the usual hue and cry went up, but with feminine determination they have stuck to their guns, or rather, modes of dress and defied man to do his worse. You know that when the women of the West cut their dresses to their shoe tops that there was a wailing for the "lost" and undegenerate. Then in order to show their contempt for the pessimisms they cut them to the knees. Now it is hard to recognize where they begin or where they end. And the world moves on. It would seem to the unbiased observer, that the Creator is becoming so disappointed in his first venture, in his not measuring up to his position as "Lord of Creation" that he has decided to give his substitute, made from the rib, a trial and if she makes good; once more, Good-bye! to the supremacy of man.
1. That Congress speedily enact a farm relief measure along the lines indicated by the Republican platform and his own campaign speeches with no equalization fee;
2. That Congress not attempt general revision of the tariff, but confine its action to specific schedules calculated to bolster up weak spots in the industrial situation;
3. That Congress reapportion itself, as is mandatory under the Constitution;
4. That Congress repeal the national origin clause of the immigration act.
WHITE SUPREMACY
By: Paul R. Hickborn
One General Miles, frontier Tame,
1850-1851.
Fow certain red men, Sioux by name,
Had shown a fierce intent.
His troopers face an arduous task,
of riddling, riddling, and night.
There was a porter in the general post office, at New York, named Tom Calley. Tom wanted promotion and sought a very unique way to get it. He mailed a bomb to Governor Franklin Roosevelt and then "found" it. But Tom was not equal to the severe inquisitorial grillings of the postal inspectors and broke under the strain. He acknowledged the act and the motive therefor. Tom will serve some time for sending explosives through the mail.
And wisdom urged that they should mask
Their strength by traveling light.
So all equipment they could spare,
And safely do without.
They stripped forthwith, from horse and man,
And stacked it round about.
The General called a friendly chief,
And said: "It in your hands
These stores I leave, will they be safe
From knaves and thieving bands?"
The tornado which swept through the area from Arkansas to Minnesota created havoc in the destruction of property and life. Aside from the loss incurred by the twister, the misery was augmented, especially through the north-west area, by the freezing blizzards which made the lot of the houseless unbearable. It was an unseasonable time for the snow to fall and many who had not been unhoused suffered fro mthe sudden change in the temperature.
The Chief replied: 'Till trust our kin,
And you need have no fear.
For not a white man is within
One hundred miles of here.
$3,000 FUR COAT STOLEN
That swanky fur coat of Harriet Sissle's, made of mink, mink and mink, that Noble Sissle is said to have paid $3,000 for, was swiped, stolen and confiscated by some conscience chap dawdler for dawdler at Manhattan Casino, New York last week. As a result, the charming Mrs. Sissle had to shiver through the shivery chills of the grey dawn as she wended her way home.
California is making big preparation for the 75th or Diamond Jubilee of its State Fair. It promises to develop into a miniature exposition. Nearby states as well as some of the foreign countries have signified their intention to participate in the event, which will be held in the Capital city, Sacramento, late August and early September. According to the chronologist, the first state fair was held in the city of San Francisco in 1854. Every year some new feature has been added to the exhibitions at Sacramento of the resources of California. The displays of horticulture, deciduous and citrus fruits; live stock; minerals and the varied agricultural products, have attracted national attention. This 75th renewal promises to eclipse all former efforts.
GOIN FAST
The latest Wolverine sensation is Eddie Tolan, Detroit boy who won the 100-yard and 220-yard interscholastic championships two years ago. Tolan made his Western conference debut in the Big Ten indoor track and field meet at Iowa City recently. He not only won his heart in fast time but finished second to George Simpson, Chio State's Conference champion, in the finals of the sixty-yard dash. His effort was the bright spot on an otherwise drab Michigan showing.
The late Nathan Leopold left 5,000 in trust to be used for the comfort of his son, Nathan, Jr., now serving a life sentence in the prison at Joliet, Illinois, for a crime in which he participated. The killing of the Frank youth. That case claimed the attention of the nation. It was to be the "perfect crime" test. In fact it was the beginning of the orgie of "perfect crimes." Hickman tried to emulate it. Others of more or less notoriety tried it. But in the end it has been proven that there is no such thing as a perfect crime.
SIX DIE IN FLAMES
Trapped on the second floor of a blaxing two-story dwelling, six colored people, a man, woman and four children, were burned to death recently in Detroit when fire destroyed their home.
PLACES GODFREY FIRST
Johnny Risko, the Cleveland baker, thinks George Godfrey is the best heavyweight in the ring today. He ranks Jack Sharkey, Paulinc, Max Schmeling and Jim Maloney next in order.
A plan is on foot for the establishment of a mansion in Los Angeles for the use of California's chief executive on his sojourns in that part of the state. What California really needs to do is to build a respectable place for its chief executive in Sacramento. The Capitol city, the place of his permanent sojourn. The antiquated residence which at present houses the Governor is one of the places, in fact the last place, and unless requested, never shown to the visitor. It is a very graceful act on the part of the citizens of Los Angeles to propose a place where the governor can go and transact his business without interference and when this present legislature has made provision for the erection of a suitable home in Sacramento, should be accepted.
"SMALLEST STILL EVER"
What is believed to be the smallest liquor still ever found in Washington was seized recently. The apparatus, about the size of an ordinary tea kettle, was confiscated when found in operation among the rafters of a house in the 1500 block Sikin St, N. W. The still was believed to have a capacity of several drinks a day. Police were unable to locate its owner.
Now, here is a case which may strengthen the plea for Eugenics. In two generations of a family living in Brazil there have been five instances where the progeny were born without feet or hands. It appears as if the father in the first generation was so afflicted and his reproductions had the same defects. It must have been a hereditary deformity on the part of the male because he had a brother born with the same defects. Now the question comes afresh: Should persons laboring under a physical handicap be allowed to marry? Many states have passed the law authorizing sterilization under certain circumstances. After all it may be the best thing for society. It will not be a survival of the fitest, because there will be none unfit.
Britt Pringle, a white man, has been sentenced to death for killing a Negro in Duval County, Florida.
MULE HAS NO KICK COMING
in the little town or Verden. Oklahoma home, lives a wealthy mule. He had a bank account and owns a fertile 27 acre tract of land in the bend of the Washita River. His friend, Sherman Hostick, sees that the mule has everything that he desires because Hostick is the administrator of the estate left to the mule by W. H. Drapen. When Draper died in 1824, it was learned the mule had inherited $2,000 and 27 acres of land.
Speaking of religions, Prof. Samuel Joshi says that modern youth is "Creedless but Religious." They sense the need of metaphysical and scientific background on which the superstructure of religious theory and practice should be built. Perhaps this will cause alarm among religious leaders in whom all religion is summed up in a creed or faith defined in dogma. But the idea is rapidly taking shape that God is an impartial creator impervious to prayer and sacrifice and unapproachable by bribes of any sort. Man's salvation lies solely within himself. Sin is the misuse of nature by which the universe is governed. The result: Pain and the deprivation of happiness. The practice of the Golden Rule of life. The greatest good for the greatest number. The preparation in life for the proper conception of the life immortal.
WINS HIGH HONORS
Miss Susan Echois of Brooklyn won the Durant Scholarship of Wellesley College in this, her senior year. The Durant scholarship is the second highest honor the school gives its mentorship students. Miss Dorothy Davis of Washington, D. C., another colored girl who graduates from the school this year, received a Wellesley College scholarship, third highest honor.
Religion is growing away from the old notions of what should constitute devoutness. Men and women of today need something more than "blind faith." This is a reasoning age and unless the reasoning is sound and logical people pass on and go further in seeking the light of knowledge. The Truth: Dogmas and Theories have had their time. Reason seeks the throne.

The Senate Patronage Committee held sessions during the past week and from a heavy file drew out many letters, telegrams and affidavits with statements as to large sums of money that were contributed to Republican campaign funds in five Southern states by Federal officeholders.
In Mississippi, affidavits collected by the Post Office Department disclosed that 110 postmasters gave more than $12,000 to the Republican funds, some of the money going to E. P. Boone, husband of the Republican national committeewoman from that State. While nearly all said the subscriptions were voluntary some of the affidavits inferred that money was paid in return for postmastership appointments. The other states mentioned were Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, and Tennessee. W. T. Heslep, postmaster at Indiana, the postoffice made famous by Roosevelt's order closing the office there, said he gave $425 to the fund. That the dry law is taking toll in lives of citizens, who have been killed as a result of prohibition activities, has been disclosed in a report made by Assistant Secretary Lowman of the Treasury Department to Undersecretary Mills. A total of 189 persons have lost their lives. During the past 15 months 25 persons were slain in the course of dry activities. Among these are several colored casualties.
The Census of Religious Bodies for 1926 disclosures that there are 6,073 Negro Church Organizations in 30 denominations controlled by whites, with a membership of 633, 150. In 1916, 21 of these denominations had 5,329 churches with 519, 731 colored members.
The Dawes Commission now in Santa Domingo on invitation of the Dominican President, General Vanquez, will seek the restoration of the republic's financial reorganization and the rehabilitation of its credit.
Mr. John D. Gainey, special assistant to the Postmaster General, is critically ill at his home here, after an official trip to New York City.
Farm population is announced by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture as the lowest in 20 years. In 1909 it reached its peak of 32,000,000 persons, but dropped down to 27,511,000 persons as of January 1, 1929. The colored migration from the rural districts of the South will account for a large part of the shift from Southern rural districts to urban communities.
Dr. George Richardson and William H. Lewis have been reelected to the Advisory Council by delegates to the Federation of Civic Associations. This Council has an influential voice in the discussion of all district affairs.

Mother Sends Her Baby
To Heaven by Way of
Fiery Furnace
(By: A. N. P.)
Brooklyn, Apr. 16.—That "religion
is a powerful thing" with some per-
sons was indicated here. Thursday in
a police investigation of the death of a
child which resulted in the arrest of
the child's mother, Mrs. Iris Brown.
Four months ago, Mrs. Brown is said to have "got" religion, and two months later, a child, named Faith by her, was born. After the birth of Faith her religion was said to have grown on her until it became a sort of mania, and everything, and everybody else in her life was subordinated to it.
She did not have to read books containing strange rites or explaining old religious theories. She just had a feeling, emotion, that she wanted her latest child, kept pure from the stins of this world, and to reach heaven unblemished. Her religion told her that the child might be purified in fire.
So, with no sense of horror, but rather in a deeply sacrificial but exultant spirit, she took her eight weeks' old baby and put it in the fire of the furnace in the basement of her home. While the baby burned, another daughter, seven years old, watched, almost jealous of Faith's chance to get a trip to heaven through the furnace.

The Nature of Freedom BY CARL ECHOLS
Freedom, like happiness seems to be a relative element. What would be freedom to one might be regarded as imprisonment to another. It is also paradoxical. Mankind from time immemorial has sought to liberate it self from certain hedged-in conditions, only, on the other had, to willing yield to new sentis of conditions that are even more enslaving than the first. Probably there is no such thing as absolute freedom. Probably there is no absolute anything. It has no absolute meaning, to complete, absence of light, but rather a predominance of darkness over light—a variation in degree rather than kind. The sensation of coldness, it is said, tends to become warm after a certain point, and heat tends to coldness after reach a certain temperature.
On the mental and moral plane as on the physical, certain dual or multiple forces seem to abtain. Like the principle of gravity they seem to pull against each other. Like centrifugal and centrifugal forces of nature, they tend in different direction. Light has its opposite darkness, and heat has its opposite of hard is soft. Without the one it would be impossible to conceive of the other. So with freedom. We are aware of its existence only because we are cognizant of its ever present and inseperable opposite—Restriction.
erable opposite—restriction.
Looking back thru the ages, we note the beginning of man's light freedom dom. from the creationists, our freedom from the wrath of cruel and capricious gods; freedom from fierce climate, and terrifying beasts. But eightened reason has unyoked us from many of these undesirable burdens. Horrible gods and godesses have given way to a Benevolent Creator. The human mind has thrown off many of its fetters of ignorance and superstitions. The human heart has dispensed with many of its abackes of selfishness and hatred. Our modern civilization is fast freeing itself from "unscientific explanation of phenomena."
But we shed one shackle to assume another. Wearate free ourselves from tyrant kings, and down to tyrant Dollars. Womankind has increased its freedom from male oppression, only to yield it to a new oppressor, dress, fashion. Science in liberating us from superstition hastens to burden us with undue stress on the purely mechanical, the proskul.
Yet mankind will be free. The desire is innate. The need is essential. But this freedom must be rational. The outlaw is not a victim of a freedom that he him freedom reaches its highest expression in the mustang that roams the plains unhampered by saddle or harness. The truly free man may compare himself to the high-spirited horse that would enjoy the freedom of the plain, but submits itself to the restraint of saddle or shaft, in cooperative service to society. The Free man or woman is one who exercises his independence unrestrainedly "within the bounds of reasonable restraint".
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BY CAREY B. LEWIS
CHICAGO, IL. April 15, 1925—To clear up the public's mind in regard to the recent charges that resulted in the indictment of Hon. Oscar De Priest, Congressman elect, the writer immediately sought an interview with Sheridan A. Brusaux. Chief Investigator for the Special Grand Juries, which was charged with the indictment of the Congressman elect. The writer asked Mr. Brusaux to give him a true statement as to all facts in regard to the recent indictment by the Special Grand Juries. Mr. Brusaux reluctantly gave an interview for the mere purpose of clearing the public's mind, so that the public at large could have absolute confidence in him as the Commissioner inasmuch as he is representing the First District of Illinois and also the fifteen million Negroes in the United States of America.
Mr. Brusseau stated that Mr. De-Priest's indictment came about solely by individuals who were formerly connected with him, and at the present time affiliated with him and his political organization, who saw fit to bring witnesses and information into the office of the Special Grand Juries, unsolicited and without pay, and then it became his duty as Chief Investigator

Nearly Reinhart, Milwaukee, Wis. high school student, believes in an annual physical examination as the best kind of health insurance. He posed for this picture which was used on posters during Negro Health Week in many cities to stimulate interest in chest examinations for the early discovery of tuberculosis as the first step toward a speedy recovery.
Nasby Reinhart, the 17-year-old student who posed as the patient in the chest examination picture used during Negro Health Week in many cities to arouse the interest of Nroespos in the value of an early diagnosis of tuberculosis as the first step toward a speedy recovery, is an outstanding character in high school athletics in Milwaukee, Wis. He was chosen by the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Association with headquarters in Milwaukee, when a fine specimen of manhood was wanted to feature in to present facts to the Assistant Attorney General for its presentation before the Special Grand Juries which resulted in his indictment.
Mr. Brusseau stated that subsebut to that time, that Ky virtue of the power and authority vested in him as chief investigator by the Attorney General of the State of Illinois, he had seen it to investigate the said charges that resulted in Mr. De Priest's indictment, and upon his investigation, he had found the charges unwarranted and some of the witnesses thoroughly unresponsible, which resulted in his recommendation that the present charges against the Congressman be dismissed.
Upon these recommendations that resulted from the investigation, the Hon. Frank J. Loech, Chief Special Prosecutor under the Attorney General and now First Assistant State's Attorney, immediately asked the Hon. Judge Lynch of the Superior Court to dismiss the said charges.
Mr. Brusseaux stated that upon his investigation which was thorough and complete into the charges that the Hon. Oscar DePriest was indicted upon, that he had found him absolutely clean and fully worthy of the confidence placed in him in his newly assigned duties as Congressman of United States from the First District of Illinois.
It may be remembered that Hon. Oscar DePriest was indicted in the month of August, 1928, by the Special Grand Juries on a charge of conspiracy, which resulted in grave concern among our group throughout America, and this is the first time that Mr. Brusseaux, who is more thoroughly familiar with said indictment by virtue of the fact of his office as Chief Investigator, than any other individual, has seen fit to give out any interview concerning the charges against the Congressman elect.
Nasby plays right on the football team or his school and his good work won for Aim a place on the 1923 All-Star City team. His strength prevented many an end run that otherwise would have resulted in gains for his opponents. Nasby holds two records in Malwaukee high school athletics: the discus record of 119 feet and 9 inches and the 12 pound shot put. He ascribes to his religious adherence to healthful living rules his fine physique and good health. "It never get less than nine bours of sleep," he says. "7 always eat regularly and prefer plenty of green vegetables to very much meat and milk to coffee." Nasby declares that an annual physical examination is the best health insurance and he urges this as an important step in bettering health conditions among Negroes.
Century Life To Move To Chicago
(By: A. N. P.)
Little Rock, Ark., Apr. 16.—Financial circles here are tremendously interested in the report that Century Life Insurance Company plans on June 1st to move its home office to Chicago. President Bush was not ready to make an affirmative statement, when interviewed by a representative of the Associated Negro Press, but details of the plan, which has the backing of Jesse Binga, Chicago banker, have become known here. Mr. Binga is said to control a big block of stock in the Century and to have aided in securing the consent of the Illinois Insurance department to the change.
Mr. Binga is reported to have desired an insurance connection for a long time and will turn over the former Binga Bank site at $7th and State streets as the home office of the new addition to Chicago's financial mart. A. E. Bush will continue as president according to the reported plan, with Mr. Binga's personal representative occupying the position of controller which will be created for him. With the Supreme Liberty Life Company, the name of the recent merger of Liberty, Sagreme, and Northeastern, locating it hom office in Chicago, the windy city bids fair to become the insurance center of the country among Negroes.

THE EASTSIDE INDEPENDENT LEAGUE SUPPORTS THE CITIZENS SCHOOL BOARD TICKET
In accordance with the Citizen's School Board Committee the Eastside Independent League is working to maintain the high standard of efficiency by which the great school system of Los Angeles has been operated the last few years. In no department of our civic life are the colored voters more interested than in that of our Public Schools. The education of our children is of absorbing interest and is the outstanding hope of our people. Los Angeles excels in her present school system which provides for day schools and nisk school classes in children of all classes regardless of race or creed and in which the literary training is liberally supplemented by a general vocational training so necessary in this advanced age.
This unparalleled educational condition has been brought about by the careful selection of the men and women who openly pledged themselves to administer the affairs of the public schools with fairness and justice to pupils, teachers and electors alike, keeping ever the idea of advancement along all lines. The result has been significant so evident in sections of the city. As the growth has developed so have we as a group profited. We have over 200 employees on the payroll of the Los Angeles Public Schools and as openings occur we are confident of substantial recognition.
But in order to bring about the desi- Mrs. J. desired results and to maintain the presi- shall; ent high efficiency of school work we B. Re-must place in power the proper men and women, therefore, we urge the C. Ecit citizens of Los Angeles to support the carefully selected ticket of the Citiz- Towle ens' School Board Committee and en- dorsed by the Eastside Independent inh R.
