1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1929 Dudley Must Stand Trial VOLUME 42 Attorneys Willis O. Tyler and Stanley Vissel representing the defenders of Joseph O. Dudley, put us a vallant fight for the discharge of their client before Judge McDill, for the shooting and killing of Willie Armster, April 25th at Dudley's Talloring Establishment, 2812 Central Avenue. The plea of self defense was set up and to substantiable the same. Counsel representing the defense, called the following witnesses: Mrs. Georgia Dudley, Lula Montgomery; officer Bledsoe; P. H. Smith; C. L. Alston, Rev. T. L. Griffin and the defendant. Deputy District Attorney, George Stahman represented the people. He made a vigorous prosecution; using the following witnesses: Mrs. Lillian Lane, (Mother of the victim); Dr. A. F. Wagner, County Autopsy officer; Miss Lula Montgomery; James Marshum; Daniel Grant; officer R. R. Cobbins; officer Bledsoe and Milton Moore. The case lasted from Wednesday 2 P. M. to 4 P. M. Thursday and at its conclusion the Judge ordered the defendant held to the Superior Court without bond. A feature of the trial was the eloquent plea of Attorney, Tyler for acquittal, Mr. Sebbman, was gracious enough to make Mention of the same when summing up for the state and declared him one of the leading members of the bar. Yet the testimony was such as stated by Judge McDill that he had no alternative but to hold the defendant to the Superior Court for trial by jury. The trial attracted a capacity crowd. Seats were at a premium and indeed a most notable, trial started on its way in the criminal annals of Los Angeles County. Sanitary Etiquette Sanitary Etiquette BL ALGERNON B. JACKSON, M. D. (For The Associated Negro Press) Among the several modes of transmission of human disease, modern sanitarians have assigned high place to personal contact. There are a large number of serious and important diseases, known as contact infections, which are transmitted and propagated largely, if not exclusively, by personal contact. Such diseases include pneumonia, influenza, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough, smallpox, mumps, and the common cold. These are, of course, all germ diseases. Their method of spread is through personal contact between a person who harbors the infection and another who is susceptible to the same infection. In typhoid fever and some other diseases the person who harbors the infection need not necessarily be sick; he may harbor the infection as a carrier—and in some diseases the carrier is an important source of transmission. These personal contacts may be direct or indirect, the more direct the more dangerous. Such contacts literally represent an exchange of bodily secretions or excretions between the persons involved. These contacts are far more common than most people realize; and under our modern complex social organization, especially in large cities, close personal contacts in a variety of ways are absolutely unavoidable. Some depend upon customs and usages difficult to break up, as, for example, indiscriminate kissing, and hand-shaking. The Chinese custom of bowing and then shaking one's OWN hand is far more desirable from a stantary standpoint. There are a number of these contacts, however, which cannot be defended on any grounds. They simply represent unhygienic manners. One of these habits is particularly reprehensible, and it is the habit of passing some article to another person after it has been wet with saliva. In view of the prevalence of influenza, which is one of the important contact diseases, it is a good time to bring to public attention this habit, which is very common, easily avoidable, and thoroughly condemnable from every standpoint. This is the habit of sticking one's fingers in his mouth before performing some action that involves another person. It is usually associated with the passing of some article to another person after it has been wet with saliva. Could there be any closer or more direct personal contact between individuals? The prevalence of this practice is widespread. From limited observation, it would appear particularly common among those who have to handle paper of any kind, that is, paper which is piled in stacks or bound in books. But it is by no means confined to those engaged in such activities. With many persons it seems simply to be a form of nervousness, or a nervous bad habit. A while ago some sanitarian, impressed with the undue prevalence of customs and habits involving an exchange of saliva among persons in their daily contacts, cleverly suggested, in order to visualize what was really going on, that we should imagine salivary secretions colored blue. He then, in imagination, followed a few individuals through a day of active existence. At the end of the day he tried to evaluate them chromatically. He concluded that most of them in the color scale would be found well spotted to an indigo blue. What should we do about it? Certainly in matters of this kind education is far more effective than law. If people generally disapprove unhygienic habits, then public opinion will correct them speedily. Why condemn promiscuous spitting, unguarded coughing and sneezing and common drinking clips, if we continue to permit people to contaminate objects by saliva-moistened fingers? It is all of a piece and all should be condemned together. The essence of good manners, is after all, consideration for others. This is applicable equally to social or hygienic good form. In this golden are our culture should keep pace with other progress. When someone writes that book that has been mentioned on "The Hygiene of Etiquette" then, let us hope, we shall all learn more about propylactic manners and practice hygienic as well as social courtesy. POLITICAL POT PIE Assemblyman Roberts with a leave of absence in his pocket, so that he could do log rolling for Quinn was bested. The last seen of him he was walking and talking to himself on his way back to Sacramento. Right at this juncture the Rev. Frederick M. Mitchell is outstanding as one of the leaders and participants in the wonderful race of Mr. Porter. It is admitted on all sides that the "Soaring Eagle" in its big Extra scooped the works and performed its full quota in the nomination of William B. Bonelli. LAST TUESDAY'S PRIMARIES The qualifying test for principal contenders for the various city offices to be elected on June 4th, brought about quite a surprise party when John C. Porter breezed in to lead the field of 14 Mayorality candidates by more than 76,000 votes. Wm. G. Bonelli followed with more than 45,000 votes. John R. Quinn with 39,000. P. H. Greer, 22,022, and the other ten trailing, with Wm. LaPlante leading the pack. Only three weeks to go and the big show is on. Who will it be—Porter or Bonelli. It is a proven fact that the leader in the primary is not a guarantee that they will lead at the finals. So it will without question be an interesting race up and until the votes are cast and counted on June 4th. George S. Grant was a runner up and qualified at the head of the list for the June primaries. Now is the time to line up as never before for a representative of all the people on the School Board. Howard Davis, Snapper Ingram Louisville Schools To Close Two Weeks Earlier LOUISVILLE Ky., May 10—(By The Associated Negro Press).

Mr. Hoover summons us to war against crime and criminals. Every deliberate violation of fundamental law is a crime, and the violators are criminals. Violations of the express and plain provisions of the 15th Amendment are crimes. The officers of almost every southern state are guilty of repeated commissions of that crime. Mr. Hoover, like all the others, calls in "blanket" language for the enforcement of all law and the punishment of all crime; but, like all the others, when he particularizes, he mentions the 15th Amendment or prohibition, but he does not mention the 15th Amendment. He sermonizes about cases of individual murder, but he does not specify the far greater crime of community murder or lynching. When will we ever find an American in high position politically, with "guts" enough to speak the truth and the "whole truth" about this thing? Is it not clear to a man of Mr. Hoover its intelligence and experience that our tolerated and palliated crimes against the weak are responsible for our whole infernal excellence in crime? You cannot tell the criminal: "See here, now! You must stop stealing from everybody but Negroes,—you must stop murdering everybody but Negroes,—and you must cease your political corruption against everybody but Negroes." The criminal is too natural, too logical, and too decent to adopt a program like that. In the last analysis, he will not be able to draw a strict colorline for this crime; to him, stealing will be stealing and murder will be murder. He will steal where the stealing is most NOTICE Owing to the rush incident to the campaign, we have been unable to give full details in reference to the benefit Ball game and as a consequence will produce the same in our next issue. ... And Judas Stalked Abroad It is quite an old, but often heard expression, that "All is fair in Love and War." I have used it oft myself, but after viewing and coming in close contact with the tactics used in the very recent election, I am inclined to extend the above expression to include a late and vast field—"Politics." It is also a very popular saying that "Politics make strange bed-fellows; and that is quite true, but the strangest one of these bed-fellows and the most contemptable, unscrupulous, conscience-dead one, is he who would subscribe an individual's name to the endorsement and support of some candidate, when he knows beyond the shadow of a doubt, at the time, that the said victim is a conscientious, diligent worker for another candidate, thereby wilfully and maliciously embarrassing the individual whose intentions and purposes are beyond question. And equally guilty is he who would be present and not open his mouth in defense, when a word from him would check it, only basking in the opinion that, "It's your kiss, not mine, that shall betray him, therefore the blood be upon thee." This I write in defense of my father, the Rev, Dr. H. D. Prowd, who has felt too keenly the thrust upon his honor and integrity to even retaliate. Some one, and that someone is known to me) at the eleventh hour of the past campaign, secured an advertisement from the Bonelli-For-Mayer Headquarters, and proffered among the many names of Colored Ministers supposedly endorsing the said candidate, that of my father's, when the said individual had talked over extensively with him upon several occasions, the political situation and knew that he stood and earnestly announced for "Porter-For-Mayer." It was, to say the least, a low, contemptible, unscrupulous political trick, and only commensurate with the one who would lend himself to such. . . . And Judas Stalked Atroad! Until some law is passed making it criminal for one of this type to subscribe anyone's name to an endorsement or support of a candidate during a political campaign, unless it be in the person's own hand-writing, under his own signature, verified by a Notary.—until then, I say, this type of a culprit must continue to be a fugitive from Justice.—. And Judas Stalked Abroad! JOHN E. PROWD profitable and murder where the murderer is most immune. It is sound statesmanship that the best way to defend the strong is to defend the way. A strict regard for the rights of the man farthest down is the best security for the rights of the man farthest down is the best security for the rights of the man farther up. Nature has put us all into the same economic and social ship; and a leak in the steerage is equally dangerous to the lords and ladies who ride in the cabin. If the ship sinks, the steerage passengers will go down first; the first-class passengers will go down a little later,—but not much later. The American white man must see finally that there is no escape from the Negro in this country. All plans for advancement must include the Negro one hundred per cent. For all "races" in a given territory, the ultimate societal destiny is one and the same.

See article on Page Eight Let Broussard Brighten Your Home Knowing that the public likes to learn of the "best in his line" we are going to tell you of the "artist" Mr. D. C. Broussard, an interior decorator. "Art" is not merely used in reference to artists who paint portraits, lancapes, etc., but to anyone who is thoroughly competent can be an artist and display art in his particular line of work. There are artists who show fulfil their art in the putting up of beautiful buildings and homes, but if the interior decorating is not well done, the harmonizing, the building is spoiled. But, let a man like Broussard, with his experience and knowledge, handled the kalsomining, painting and paper hanging, and the place will be transformed. Mr. D. C. Broussard is eminent in his line of work and does the kind of work that makes and keeps his customers as well as adds new ones to his list. Not only is his work god, but it is very reasonably done and easy terms are arranged to suit his customers. Since Spring is here and house cleaning MUST be done, let Mr. Broussard do your kalsomining, painting or paper hanging and you'll get a job well and beautifully done. He can be reached between 6 and 8 P. M. at Midland 3758 and anytime at AXridge 5564. MRS. ANNIE FAMBRO PASSES AWAY Mrs. Annie Fambro, wife of Wm.

The hunt for a 12-year-old boy who has been missing for almost five months has been renewed when his mother offered a reward for his return to his home at 1344 Clouet Street. Police have been unable to find any trace of the boy since his disappearance on November 27, 1928. The boy, Charles L. Richardson, Jr. left his home on his way to school and when last seen he wore a brown cloth cap, gray trousers, red tie, light shirt, gray coat, and was carrying a white canvas bag. He is 4 feet 6 in. tall with blue eyes and a light complexion. ```markdown ``` Louisville Man Applicant For Carnegie Medal LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 9.—(By The Associated Negro Press.)

Science Aids Chicken Thief ATLANTA, Ga., May 5.—(By The Associated Negro Press). Something new in chicken stealing, the anesthetizing of an entire roost by spraying them with chloroform to keep them quiet was revealed in Judge Frank Guess' city courtroom at Decatur when Walter Dorsey pleaded guilty yesterday to stealing chickens on a wholesale scale. "I just spray 'em with chloroform," then I stands back and waits. It takes only about five minutes, then they just flops off their roost and is all ready for my sack." Dorsey said he got the idea by watching the application of anesthetics while he was a patient for one year in a hospital. He was given a twelve-month workhouse term. You wanna go, places an' do things? Well, go to the Philharmonic and do the KIDDIES MINSTREL June 10th. Who for me always shed a tear? Who remembered me in my prayer? Who in sorrow was alw. ear? —My Mother dear. And neer from the Master stray? —My Mother dear. I dedicate this bit to my mother upon this first Mothers' Day since she went away. . . . . RECENTLY I heard a good woman say, "I have no time to waste on people. I spend my time praying and reading good books. 'I am sanctified and I know that people today don't want sanctification, hence I am on my way to heaven, and am not worrying about others." What a strange conception of Christianity this; groping in darkness; refusing to see the light. Jesus spent thirty years training to serve—and when the time came for Him to be about His father's business, we find Him everywhere; sometimes by the Sea of Galilee feeding ten thousand hungry people, in the land of Canaan breaking down the age old race prejudice that existed between the Jews and Canaanites by offering the Canaanite woman living water to drink from which she would never again thirst. In short we found Jesus, during His three years of ministration everywhere there were people, ministering to their needs. THE NEGRO has always been an asset to stage settings in ridiculously funny roles, but very little opportunity has been enjoyed by him as an interpreter in the higher dramatic sort of reproduction. In the west particularly has he been denied entrance to the legitimate stage in other than comic vaudeville acts. When the Lincoln Theatre opened, many were disappointed with the "HI-lo" class of stuff that was dispensed, saying, "Oh we had hoped for something different." The management, with its finger on the pulse of the theatre going public in this section said, "If you want something better or of a higher class in production, we want to give it." Hence the Lafayette Players, then attracting great crowds in New York City where they had played to crowded houses for more than a year, were procured for the Lincoln Theatre in Los Angeles. They came—at first they went over big—but now, not that they aren't getting better all the while, the crowd is beginning to fall off. We regret to see this, not because it is a reflection on the class of production by the Lafayette Players, but it says in no uncertain terms, that our taste for such presentations as "Rain," "East is West," "Madame X," "The Cat and the Canyon," "The Unborn," "Anna Christie," "Should the Woman Tell," and "Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," is not yet formed. We cannot here refrain from making some further mention of, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," in which Clarence Muse was featured last week. If we were to attempt to compare Clarence Muse in the role of Dr. Jekyll, we would class him with Hamden in Copenauch. Mr. Muse has a pleasing personality, his voice is big, but as mellow as a rippling stream, and his stage manners are so native, that my effort to be natural in changing scenes is wholly unnecessary. Evelyn Preer, leading lady of the Lafayette Players, who played next to Mr. Muse in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," is the Maud Adcms of her day and time. Aside from being beautiful in face and form, Miss Preer is the acme of sincerity in her relationship to whatever part she is playing. In life, vigor and action on the stage, she is hard to heat. Her love making scenes are not overdrawn, and in every phase of acting, she easily measures up to whatever is expected. There is an old axiom that we never miss the water till the well runs dry. The thought we wish to drive home to the Los Angeles theatre-going public at this time, is that we should appreciate the character of the productions presented by this theatre through the medium of the Lafayette Players and should encourage great- RAKESTRAW'S RAILROAD CLATTER By Joe Rakestraw Chicago to Los Angeles-58 hours Three and one quarter hours cut from Chicago-Los Angeles journey.

FRENCH TRAINS LEAD IN SPEED According to an article appearing in a recent issue of the Railroad Gazette. The French Railways are stepping up in speed much faster than Great Britan. The Northern Railway it is stated has taken the lead by setting a 60 mile per hour schedule as the standard speed on important trains on all three of its main lines radiating from Paris. The fastest start to stop schedule is operated by this company from Paris to San Quentin a distance of 95 miles, at a speed of 62 miles per hour. In France there are 32 daily runs operating at speed in excess of 58 miles per hour, and 14 of these are for distance greater than 100 miles of scheduled speed at 60 miles per hour in addition to that from Paris to San Quentin. The second fastest train in France is operated by the Southern Railway from Bordeaux to Dax, a distance of 91 miles at 61 miles per hour. Two non stop runs covering a distance of 200 miles are listed, these operate between Brussels and Paris, and four between Paris and Calais a distance of 192 miles. BROTHERHOOD POSES QUESTION TO WAGE CONFERENCE DELEGATES According to A. Philip Randolph, President and General Organizer, the rank and file porters in and out of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters are asking the question how is it that even before the elections of delegates to the Pullman Wage Conference had ended the names of those who were on the Pullman slate for election were known and porters were directed to vote for them? For example, says the General Organizer, in the New York Central District, Thomas E. Griffin was given a banquet as the delegate from New York before the election returns had been counted and money was being raised through donations from porters for the expense of said banquet. This same procedure is generally followed in other districts for the delegate whom the Pullman Company wants to attend the Conference. This is irrefutable evidence of the fact that the Employee Representation Plan is not an expression of the will and desire of the porters but is a tool in the hands of the Company for the suppression and intimidation of porters. Porters wish to know from the delegates to the Pullman Conference how do they expect to represent the porters when their transportation to and fro and hotel expenses together with $2.50 is addition to their regular wages, are paid by the Pullman Company. They ask how can the porters to the Conference put their feet under the banquet table of the Pullman Company and oppose its policies that are always for low wage, long hours, and poor working conditions for the porters. What will be the attitude of the delegates to the Conference on the 240 hour work month? Are they for or against it, that the rank and file porters are for it. The Pullman conductors have it and all of the other railroad employees have it, observes the porters leader. Another insistent question is what will be the wage the delegates will demand, and if their demands are refused, will they take the courageous position of walking If You Fall To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Pilgrims' Home Fistic Show out of the Conference and refusing to sign the agreement?'. The porters also demand to know why is it, that all the porters on the Local Grievance Committee vote for restoration of an aggrieved porter in the service, the said restoration is still dependent upon the consent of the superintendent. They also wish to know what position the delegates will take on the matter of the Pullman Company broadcasting the sensational statement to the effect that porters have received a million dollars increase in wages, when they have only received some eighteen cents a day, which obviously impresses the public with the notion that porters are being paid sufficient money to live on, and therefore will treat them as well paid employees who need no tips. HEARD AND SEEN AMONG THE PULLMANITES Bud Amtrose, known as "The Smiling Bud" also as Secretary of the P. P. B.

This is the first time that a member of our race has got this far in the severl attempts to qualify for this important position. It will take work to elect George S. Grant but it can be done. Every member of our race should constitute himself or herself a committee of one to work up votes among all of our friends, while the votes of the colored people alone will elect Mr. Grant, if our people will concentrate on him alone and canvass and urge all of our white friends to vote for a man who is well qualified and who is for justice for everybody, victory is ours.

EXHAUST We took a wonderful ride the other Friday, and just can't help from telling you about it. Up bright and early our face washed and breakfast out of the way we groomed Lizzie a bit, put 10 gallons of gas in her lunch basket (as you know the only time she cats is when she is on the go) 2 quarts of oil in her stomach and filled up her water bottle so she wouldn't get thirsty, bid the loved ones good-bye and were off on this journey. After an hour's ride we entered Eagle City Limits. As we turned the corner we found ourselves on Rakesstraw Drive, a beautiful, thoroughly well paved and well kept street. Here we raused for a while after driving several blocks and had a pleasant chatter with Mr. Railroad Clatter. He told us all the railroad news of the day. The 5 per cent raise the railroad cooks and waiters got. About the S. P. employing Chinese boys on the parlor cars. News to me and too mebhy to you also about the red caps and many other interesting things but being a bit in a hurry we had to leave him as we had several other places to go and stops to make. We next headed Lizzie for Greenaway Avenue, another beautiful thoroughfare, heavily traveled by the reading public. We drove straight to Miss You're Next's house and she was glad to see us and invited us in. We had quite a chat. She talked of the fashion show and about the invitation she received and accepted to lunch with Miss Geraldine Hamerstine and the goodies they had. About the Alpha Phi Alpha activities. We wanted her to take in our membership right then but that was impossible as we had graduated from Blacksmith University and they don't teach Latin. St. Agnes Guild, National Health Week, the 1th St. Branch of the Y. W. C. A. and many other topics. She was well versed and armed with much social information. Looking at our Waterberry (an impolite thing to do when being entertained by a lady we admit) we noticed two hours had slipped by, so with an offered and accepted apology we grabbed our hat hurriedly, said good-bye and in a jiffie Lizzie and I were coasting down Cab Street column where we hitched Lizzie to the curb and strolled down The Sidewalk; and say, the news we picked up bristling with political and business information. We wondered who could have dropped those notes and eventually found out she was a very prominent business woman who some few year ago had migrated from Narraganset on the Atlantic to these western shores presumably to teach school but her complexion defeated her purpose so she packed her thing and moved over to Eagle City away back in 1911 assuming the duties of assisting the then mayor, J. J. Neilmore, to successfully manage some. Shortly thereafter the incumbent passed from earthly activities to heavenly rewards and this illustrious woman was unanimously elected by popular vote to fill the office—a thankless job in itself. To date she has proven her worth and creditably holds down the job with dignity mingled with common sense and ability. Flowers have supplanted weeds. Pavet and well lighted streets are everywhere visible. The population has grown from two to a newspaper city of twenty including shop help, office help and news procurers. While standing by observing who motered by but W. J. Wheaton in company with Mr. Comments. They were discussing everything. Hoover, the Attorney General, Judge Hardy, the L. A. Forum and several other topics. They invited us to join them at luncheon but as we headed for Editorial Park to recreate we were forced to regretfully decline. If ever you have occasion to visit Eagle City, and we know you, will sometime If Heaven is your goal, why be sure and visit Editorial Park. It is populated, with some of the most beautiful plant life a pen and ink bot- --- If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You Ma; ever Know It Happened anist can raise. We met the head gardener, a big, tall, stout fellow, weighing about 50 or 300 pounds, we don't know which. His name is Bass, we believe, and he took us all through his park. Leaving here we met Rev. I. A. Moore and E. E. Lightner on Church street and had quite a chat with them, doing most of the chatting. We crossed Political avenue where we got a glimpse of several office seekers. We managed to escape them and took in the Motion Picture show on Drama avenue owned and operated by Lawrence Lamar. Amongst those on the program were Dewey Washington, Cleo Thompson, Dixon and Porter and Damaged Goods: Some show for the money. Friend LaMar looked prosperous and wore a smile that wouldn't come off. We next met Harry Levette, news purveyor and sports writer, after the show, by appointment had dinner and he treated us to the Olympic show. Say, Santiago Zorrilla won but he did not get the credit. Harry's name and news articles appear in more eastern papers than perhaps any other western writer. After witnessing the boxing contest Harry's mind drifted towards Los Angeles, 41st and Central, but we were tired and decided to call it a day so we shook hands and parted. I found Lizzie patiently waiting and as we crossed News Item avenue and Advertisement boulevard, homoward bound, we got a glimpse of G. R. LaMar and James Irwin, two of the largest and busiest advertisement contractors in the game. Both were busily engaged—one erecting a big ad, for a prominent building-loan association the other just finishing a newspaper sign for a big auto concern. Seeing they were busy we merely gave them the hello sign and continuing on butted-square into Art Hamilton strutting down Black Sport avenue searching for news and giving him the wish-you-well sign we continued merrily on our way dodging incoming traffic headed toward Linotype street and before long Lizzie and I were home. She parked in the garage and I in bed—there to rest and recuperate after a big interesting day spent in Eagle City which to our mind is about the most energetic newspaper town located on these western shores. Santa Monica News BY: VERNON E. S. BRUNSON THE BAY WINDOW Well, we've had quite a warm spell this week—or better to say HOT! The kind of heat that gives one the spring fever. Down here on the beach we haven't suffered so much; the vast expanse of sea lapping at our doorsteps acts as refrigerator, and keeps things cooled off. While Los Angeles and other likewise situated cities are sweating, and drinking cold beers in their shirt sleeves, we are enjoying a balmy day with a fresh, cool wind blowing from "El Grande Pacifi." In this day of mechanical marvels, men can get about from one place to another in a short time—our highways, and our byways are crowded the whole day long with humanity seeking relief from the stuffiness of the big city. Funny thing this human race—never satisfied, in the winter; it's heat, heat. And when summer time comes viceversa—give us some ice! We are very fortunate out here in this beautiful state. Look at the conditions in other parts of the country—storms, floods, death, and ruin. What have we got to "kick" about—a little fog and rain or wind and heat are nothing compared to the sterner sides of nature. Witness elsewhere the beauties of the sea and land are waiting here those who find life boresome during the summer months—we have the largest cooling "pond" in the world down here—sohurrah for the good old summer time! Come in, the water's fine! Well, enough of this—let's see what's going on. ABOUND THE CHURCHES First A. M. E—Rev. Robert House, Pastor. Three conversions were made in the very spirited services held in the morning; from the Sunday School on up through the morning worship the spirit was much in evidence. The pastor's sermon topic for the morning was "Right Versus Wrong." There was also an infant baptism. At 6:45 a very interesting Christian Endeavor meeting was held, "A Bright Light" was the sermon thought at the evening services; the Bible was portrayed as man's bright light on earth. Holy communion was also continued from the morning hour. Six recent converts were received into full membership of the Church. First Baptist Church of Venice—Rev.G. A. Miller, pastor. The pastor served his first Communion since ordination, this was his first experience at a regular church service. The attendance of the Church was swelled by an unusual number of visitors. Mrs. Manfield of San Francisco and Rev. Nora O. Weaver, candidate for councilman of the 11th District, were among the noteworthy present. The B. Y. P. U. was reorganized. Mr. Williams was elected president; others as follows: Mr. Snyder, vicepres.; Nave Tabor, secy.; Marle Trimble, trean, and Helen Tabor, Entertainment Committee. An interesting meeting is planned for the near future. Sunday, May 12th will be Mother's Day at this church, special service will be held to honor Mothers. G. M. E. Philip's Chapel—Rev.W. A. Seldon, Pastor. A lively Sunday School opened an interesting day, "Obedience." was Rev. Mrs. Blanche Blate's topic at a very spirited morning service. Communion was also observed. The sermon subject for the evening was "Profit and Loss"—For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. (Matt. 6:25). Hampton L. Worthy was elected delegate to the Epworth Leisure National Training School, to be held at St. Louis, Missouri, June 17-21). Mr. Worthy is also president of the League of this church, it is showing good advancement under his leadership. Among those on the Sick List: Mr. O. S. Fletcher, Mrs. Ella Whitley, and Mrs. E. R. Henderson. Friday, May 21 was the scene of a very delightful dance at the Woman's Monday Club House, in Venice. A large number of young people were present to spend a lovely evening. The party was given in honor of the contestants of the Tenth Annual Declaration Contest, by a group of Samohi students and others of the Bay District: Wathea Sims, Helen Tabor, Vivian Shaw, Arthur Enance, Eugene Murrell and Elmer Afner. A very useful gift was presented to the winner of this year's contest, Hampton Worthy. Miss Francis Humphrey acted as spokesman for the students. Music for the dancing was furnished by a combination of Miss Cicle Water, piano, and Art Enance, saxaphone. Refreshments were served. Sunday, May 5th, the Junior N. A. A. C. P. held their regular monthly meeting at the Masonic Hall. During the business meeting final reports were made on the Penny Hop. Plans were discussed for the raising of the balance of the Charter money. The meeting was concluded by an interesting lecture on Africa, by Mr. S. G. Osborn. A very charming tea was given at the home of Mrs. Lucy Carter, 1760 fifteenth street, Sunday afternoon for the benefit of Luccell Maxwell, contestant in the N. A. A. C. P. Popularity Contest. The affair was well attended, by both young and old. A silver offering was taken at the door. There is a big spreading rumor floating around on the ocean breeze, that the grandest event of the Bay District's social calendar will take place very shortly. A group of Venice's younger set spent Sunday at Lake Elsinore. The party consisted of John Rucker, Elizabeth Brunson, Mercer and Lloyd Reese. The Women's Charity Club held their regular business meeting at the residence of Mrs. Charlie Clemons, May 2, 1929 at three o'clock. The officers elected for the year were Mrs. Birdie Jones, Pres; Mrs. Ross of Lq. A., Vice-Pres; Mrs. Lula Walker, Secy.; Mrs. Scalie Wilson, Treas; Mrs. Eva McKinney and Mrs. Emma Holmes, Sick Committee; Miss Jemetta McKinney, Reporter. After the meeting the hostess served a delightful luncheon.

Long Beach News MISS EVELYN RICHARDSON From last week's "Pittsburgh Courier" I read where Congressman Oscar DePriest of Illinois was received by President Herbert Hoover at the White House for a two-hour conference. According to Morris Lewis, DePriest's private secretary, the interview dealt mainly with the rights and protection of the Negro citizens. When asked about the facts and details of the question, DePriest only answered smilingly, "The interview was most satisfactory and Herbert Hoover will protect all citizens." However, he promises a fuller statement on the matter later. Although DePriest has become quite an important and popular figure at the capitol, he is said to still be the same affable leader whom Chicagoans love. I am sure that such news as this will lighten the burden of fear, which had existed among many in the Negro race, that President Hoover in his Mutual Dairy Association Dealers in High Class Dairy Products 1950 Naomi Avenue—Motto "Service"—Just Call WEslmore 4436 strict attention to the eighteenth amendment, would forget the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. The Mistic-ty and Sunshine Club met last week at the new home of Mrs. Jackson on East Anahiem St. Mrs. Marie Clay, chairman of the Educational Committee, reported the sum of three dollars and sixty-five cents which was donated by the Pastor and members of the 2nd Baptist Church in the club's aid in the education of the orphan, Carrie Larkins. Mrs. Darthula Vandiver Bougess was chosen to represent the club at the Reciprocity Meeting of the Federated Clubs to be held soon in Santa Barbara. The club sincerely missed their member, Mrs. Banks, who was not present on account of illness. The M. T. S.'s extend wishes for a speedy recovery. After a dainty luncheon served by the hostess and her sisters, the club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Kauffman the following week. The rites of Mr. J. Trailer, a well- known citizen here, were solemnized Sunday afternoon in San Pedro at the Mt. Sianti Baptist Church. Mr. Trailer leaves behind a loving widow, Mrs. J. Trailer and her two daughters. The Boul Ami Girl Reserves had a regular business meeting last Sunday afternoon at the W. W. C. A. Import and business concerning the Aslomar Benefit Fashion Review which will be in the Second Baptist Church on Thursday. May 30th was fully discussed and planned.

The famous and popular saying of Mr. J, P Walker, Farber, "You're Next" has now somewhat changed to "High Brown" and "Fan Tau" since his barber shop is now fully equipped with cosmetics, shampoos, perfumes, etc. under those trade marks.

Manager MODERN EQUIPMENT, SYMPATHETIC AND ECONOMIC SERVICE TO ALL: YOUR INSPECTION ALWAYS WELCOME CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS Dr. W. H. Rozler delivers powerful Sermon to the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church of which he is Pastor. Sunday April 28, 1929. A. B. DR. W. H. ROZIER Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned". This was the text chosen by Dr. Rozier as he stood before the appreciative congregation of his church last Sunday morning. Choosing as his subject: "The Ultimatum." Dr. Rozier began this message which was one of the most powerful ones ever delivered by him, by defining the term "Ultimatum" which he declared means, A final message containing terms of peace. In this confection the minister showed that the gospel is that message and the only message that the world has to-day by which peace may be restored between God and man. That the medium by which these terms of peace are handed down from generation to generation is through the Holy Ghost and the preacher. Following the above explanation he said, "I am going to present to you today, God as a fighter. He has waged war against sin and sinners." To prove this ascertion he referred to God-in the Garden of Eden, Gen. 3:17-19, putting Adam and Eve out because of sin, and cursing the grouped with thorns and thistles, making it difficult for them to live. People have misrepresented God. God is not an old white man with long beard sitting upon an athrone just too good to oppose wrong. With greatest emphasis he declared again and again that God is a fighter. Mentioning his war against Cain for killing his Bro. Abel, Gen. 4:9-12. Coming down to the days of Noah, God declared war, (Gen. 6:12-13) and fought the whole creation with the flood because of sin and unbelief, Gen. 7:11-12-21-24. Brother, Sister, God is a fighter. He also has something to fight with. Think how he fought the Egyptians. He just called forth his armies of frogs, of lice, of flies of locusts and of boils and rendered the enemies of his people helpless. Even Mothers could not get the lice off of their own children they were so full of lice themselves they had to just keep scratching, couldn't even help their children. God is a fighter. We must know that God's love has two sides. A side of warmth as well as a side of tenderness. The side of wrath he turns toward the sinner, the hypocrite, and the back slider. The side of tenderness he turns to his people those who will stand up and defend His cause. He does not beg people to do His will, you can't find any where, that God ever asked any one to do anything. God commands and those who do not obey are lost. In the wilderness God taught Koch and his band for bending a rebellion against Moses. He opened the earth and swallowed them up and sent fire and consumed the 250 priests. 147,000 died by a magician because they rebelled against God, only two that left Egypt reached the promised land. Refuse to obey God and you are forced to fight a losing battle. In Canaan he Erew down the walls or Jerice and drove out the heathen. Then when Issared went off into sin and idolotry he suffered them to be carried away into captivity. God is a fighter. He destroyed Jerusalem and scattered the Jews among all nations. Jesus also fought. The people have seen Jesus only as Isaiah 'pictured Him. As a lamb led to the slaughter, Lut Jesus took this attitude only when he was assuming our position. He did not say anything before Pilate because we were guilty and doomed to die. A person who is guilty has no argument so if Jesus was to act in our stead he had to keep still. He was called, the lion of the tribe of Judah. Daniel saw him breaking down the kingsdoms of this world. At the age of 12 years he was seen in the temple fighting with the lawyers and doctors, against the scribes and pharasees. He called them snakes, and vipers, telling them that they put burdens on the people that they were not willing to bear themselves. He fought against the devil and conquered sin. He took the sting out of death and robbed the grave of its victory so that the christian has no fear of death. He bound the devil and took the keys of hell, Jesus fought and conquered. The Holy Ghost is a fighter. Ananias and Saphira proved that the Holy Ghost is a fighter when they lied to 14th Anniversary of Bethel Church of Christ (Holiness) HOOPER AVE.

RAMSEY, Pastor Services in the Friendship Baptist Church were splendid and well attended Sunday May 5th. As it was the first Sunday in the month, it is the custom to have a covenant meeting. The meeting was enjoyed by everyone. Three were added to the membership which will help in the present progress of the church. We were honored to have the Corresponding Secretary of the Union District association, with us. A wonderful gospel message was brought to us by the pastor in the evening. The Sandy school department is doing excellent work. They are hoping to have the mothers day rally a great success. It would be appreciated to have everyone who could come out and help them on that day. The B. Y. P. U. is also doing great work. The president is trying to make this a front line union. A lovely program is given each Sunday by the different groups. Everyone is invited to come out and see what young people are doing. THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN SOUTH LOS ANGELES 1 The Primary is now over and some of the favorite candidates are still on the ballot while others have been eliminated by the vote of the people. It is interesting to know that the people of our group in this community manifested a keen interest in the election in that a heavy vote was cast, approximately 50 per cent of the registered vote was cast in the three precincts where the majority of our people live. This was due largely to the activities of the Citizens Council and Industrial League which has held three splendid meetings during the campaign. The League also furnished several workers who have very satisfactory service. P. H. Greer for Mayor received a large majority over any other candidate running for the same office. Frank McMullen hot a considerable lead over A. E. Hennings and John H. Dodson, Jr. for Councilman. Edwin P. Werner and Pierson M. Hall ran a close vote for City Attorney, with Werner in the lead. George S. Grant for the School Board made a clean sweep polling as many votes as all the others put together. This was a splendid showing and shows that intelligent Negroes are willing to support one of their own group when the aspirant is the right type of person as Mr. Grant is. The next big job is to finish the job on June 5th. The council will immediately take up activities in this direction. CITIZENS COUNCIL TO MEET TUESDAY NIGHT MAY 14th The Citizens Council and Industrial League, will meet this Tuesday night. May 14th at Grant Chapel A. M. E. Chireh, East 10th and Compton Avenue, at No clock sharp. Every member is urged to be present friends are invited. Reports of the Leagues activities in the Primary will be read and plans will be outlined for the Leagues activities in the final election which will take place June 4th. The Young People of South Los Angeles representing various clubs held an.Oratorial Contest at Grant Chapel Thursday Night, May 2nd. Ten clubs were represented with an orator for each club. A gold, silver and bronze medal was awarded to the three best orators respectively. All the orations were good and received the hearty applause of the splendid audience present. The young people are to be complimented for presenting a program. Mr. George Jones went to Santa Barba, California, Tuesday night to sing on a Musical program given by Mr. Edward Saunders. Mr. George Greenberry who sustained serious injuries several days ago by falling from a building, died at the General Hospital. Thursday. May 3rd and was buried Tuesday from Connor-Johnson Funeral Parlor. Rev. T. F. Jones, officiating. The deceased was a native of Texas he is survived by four daughters, of whom two live in Los Angeles and two remain in Texas. Mr. W. R.

Those who remember the eventful days from 1914 to 1918 are still convinced that the United States would have preserved its neutrality to the end of the World War had there been no Lusitania atrocity, of which May 7 is the fourteenth anniversary. Although the United States did not enter the war until two years after the sinking of the Lusitania, this outrage against American neutrality and every humane law was the first of that concatenation of events which culminated in the crystallization of public opinion in this country against the central powers and finally, a declaration of war. Meditations on this tragedy of the war convince one that there is a justice which sometimes grinds swiftly. The civilized world felt that a nation guilty of such a crime could not win the World War, and Germany did not win. Have the nations of the world learned the lesson of the sinking of the Lusitania? Has it been impressed upon the people of the world that there are humane laws to be obeyed even in time of war and that disobedience of those laws spells disaster? It was the wrath of the civilized world aroused by this atrocious act that won the war against Germany. Even at this late day the deliberate murder of 1,396 innocent noncombants by command of a war-crazed U-boat captain seems by far more terrible and inexcusable than the slaughter of the millions of combatants who lost their lives in the World War. War-guilt may not rest upon Germany alone, but Germany alone must answer for the most fiendish crime of the war—the sinking of the Lusitania.

There is sentiment, and there is sentimentalit ing which bids earth's children to bear thoughtful toward the genius of the home defies the straight definition; it is the truest, purest impulse, neither explaining, but justified in love and duty. Searching the walls of art galleries and the one may ever find some new compelling light on a motherhood; but, for the most part, it is not neces- beyond the walls of one's heart and within the v idual experience to know that the loveliest this is enshrined in, the word "mother." If it be necessary to set aside a day to urge u and smile a message to those figures of sublimity with quick, generous and lasting sincerity. For Day, not only this happy little woman or that gra- are to know that children do not forget, but all of all the years can share something of the spiritu which springs from a universal tribute. The saving tenderness of a feverish age is the immorality of the home ties, whose chief sentiment envelopes the motherhood which cradles us. Ever since mankind discovered capacity for emotion the world's sons and daughters have striven to express something of the gentleness, something of the profound love and sacrifice, something of the great and noble symbolism embodied in the word "mother." There is sentiment, and there is sentimentality, but the feeling which bids earth's children to bear thoughtful remembrance toward the genius of the home defies the straight boundaries of definition; it is the truest, purest impulse, neither arguing nor explaining, but justified in love and duty. Searching the walls of art galleries and the verses of poets one may ever find some new compelling light on the loftiness of motherhood; but, for the most part, it is not necessary to search beyond the walls of one's heart and within the verses of individual experience to know that the loveliest thing of creation is enshrined in the word "mother." If it be necessary to set aside a day to urge us to turn back and smile a message to those figures of sublimity, then let it be with quick, generous and lasting sincerity. For on Mother's Day, not only this happy little woman or that grave grey figure are to know that children do not forget, but all the mothers of all the years can share something of the spiritual benediction which springs from a universal tribute.

The shop windows are blooming with straw hats of the masculine variety, and there are bold spirits who have donned the summery skimmers, defying good form and bad weather at the same time. May 15th is the zero hour for going over with a new topper, and perhaps the sennits and milans, bangkoks and panamas, will take on added significance if some of their history is recalled. Straw hats have been generally worn in the United States for only 60 years, but their history reaches far back into antiquity. Mercury, messenger of the gods, and himself something of a god in his own way, is always shown wearing the commonest sort of a straw hat. Praxiteles' statue of June, which dates back to 350 B. C., is crowned with a "stephanos," which is another name for a straw kelly. In more recent times investigators have discovered that Edmund Spencer, author of the "Facrie Queene," disported in a regulation straw hat in Elizabethan days, and the eighteenth century poet, Thomas Gray, of the "Elegy," boasted that his straw toppiece was lined with green. EDUCATION'S CASH VALUE There is no fixed measure of the relative vapour men and of untrained men. The dean of a Boston the average minimum income of the high school $2,200, and of the college graduate at $6,000. He be accurate as averages, but there are untrained more than trained men, and there are trained more than other trained men. But it is averages in which the world is interest have gone through the same curriculum may be the use they make of their minds. One man owes-wit than the books could teach him. But he west absorbs theory and learns from practice, to skillful craftsman at the work bench does not pou technical literature, but consults it at every opposing where to put his finger on the reference he will. If love goes soon after marriage, it may be a party any longer deserves it. It's a funny civilization that will adopt nice fare and leave murder to choose its own style. There is no fixed measure of the relative value of trained men and of untrained men. The dean of a Boston college fixes the average minimum income of the high school graduate at $2,200, and of the college graduate at $6,000. His figures may be accurate as averages, but there are untrained men earning more than trained men, and there are trained men earning more than other trained men. But it is averages in which the world is interested. Two who have gone through the same curriculum may be poles apart in the use they make of their minds. One man owes more to mother-wit than the books could teach him. But he who goes farthest absorbs theory and learns from practice, too. The most skillful craftsman at the work bench does not pour contempt on technical literature, but consults it at every opportunity, knowing where to put his finger on the reference he wants. If love goes soon after marriage, it may be because neither party any longer deserves it. It's a funny civilization that will adopt nice rules of warfare and leave murder to choose its own style.

A number of At a luncheon given in New York by the Associated Press President Herbert Hoover spoke on Law Enforcement. In his speech he placed great stress upon the observance of all of the laws. He said: "We are not suffering from an ephemeral crime wave, but from a subsidence of our foundations. No individual has the right to determine what law shall be obeyed and what law shall not be enforced. If a law is wrong, its rigid enforcement is the surest guaranty of its repeal. If it is right, its enforcement is the quickest method of compelling respect for it." There has been quite a diversity of opinion in the Press over his statement that "Prohibition plays but a small part in the general reign of lawlessness." A number of the Journals If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened SOUTHERN G.O.P. LILY WHITE PLATFORM DON'T THESE TICKETS ENTITLE US TO SPACE ON THAT PLATFORM? SAY! HOW COME YOU DIDN'T WAIT TILL WE GOT ON?? The California Eagle Cartoonist, Mr. Carl T. Gross, is depicting in this picture, what happened to the Negro with Mr. Herbert Hoover at the head of the G. O. P. Ship of State. The Lily Whites have taken their places on the platform. The Negro is in a state of dilemma. He has held tenaciously to the grand old party because its principles were part at least of his religion, but now, Oh! now things are happening. It seems that Lincoln's party is trying to divorce him, with the idea in mind that the white kite can sail on conquering all political elements cut loose from its black tail. Quoting in part from Henry Ford, we would say, that there are three basic principles upon which the Negro must build his future in politics and industry. FIRST-Understand himself. SECOND-Combine his strength politically and industrially. FIRST-Understand himself. claim that the President greatly underestimated the extent of the deleterious results of special defiance of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Law by failing to take sufficiently into account the amount of crime which is a secondary but nevertheless very real results of illicit liquor traffic, and so does not place as much emphasis on a primary cause of prevalent conditions as he might. But to our mind the most potent criticism comes from the Herald Tribune, New York. It says that: "In any long view of American lawlessness, the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment must be taken as marking an abrupt turn for the worse. Moreover, the structure of our Federal system has made for a maximum of legislation and a minimum of obedience to law. The mills of forty-eight State legislatures and of Congress have ground a mass of laws beyond any citizen's understanding. Of far wider significance is the impotence of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, a surrender acquiesSED in by Congress for many decades. By the side of this bad example, and as if to bring it down to date, stands the refusal of the House of Rep- presentatives to obey the clear constitutional mandate for a reapportionment. It was against this background of lawlessness that the Eighteenth Amendment was written into the Federal Constitution. The grave and dangerous fact is that to a long habit of national indifference toward all laws has now been added a definite moral revolt against one law." We have heard the moral story of "Sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind." As the Tribune says: For decades the Federal Government has ignored the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. By condoning their practical nullification they placed a premium on lawlessness. From that acquiescence of lawlessness sprung the hideous master of Mobocracy which left in its wake some of the most vicious, foul and loathsome murders known to civilization. The President has a gigantic task before him in trying to "re-civilize" the United States and awaken a respect for constituted authority. It need not be called to his attention that unless there is an equal attempt for the enforcement of all.

TEMPLE Specializing in Women's Diseases and Obstetrics [NOTE: Please address all queries concerning this column to Dr. Ruth J. Temple, 803 F. 32nl St., Phone, HU. 3419 or VA. 1221.] Can a baby have syphilis? Yes indeed, it can end that is the saddest part of the whole sorry affair. After it is the children who suffer the most from the "sins of the fathers" of the mothers too in some instances. We noted last week that syphilis was often the cause of death of the unborn baby, or of its death soon after birth. Now we wish to know how syphilic babies look which do not die. SYMPTONS PRESENT AT BIRTH Symptoms are present at birth in only a very small proportion of the cases of tables born with syphilis and in such the disease is usually of a very severe form and the infants do not often live more than a few days. Upon the skin there may be seen an eruption: small blister, like eruptions or bullece appear on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet and maybe on other parts of the body. Many of these blisters may jam together forming one or more large blisters. They generally contain a thick serium which may be like pus mixed with blood. There may be other skin eruptions—pimples or papules and small pimples with pus. These may often be upon the face and scalp. The general appearance of these little infants is wretched in the extremes. Their poor little bodies are wasted, their skin is sallow and wrinkled and this makes them look actually and literally like an old, old man with pinched, drawn face and wrinkled skin. The blood forming organ—the spleen is usually enlarged and often the liver is too, this shows that these important organs are all affected by the disease. These poor little babies often are too weak to nurse at all, or else nurse very feebly and usually die from starvation and general weakness within two weeks. DID MY BABY ESCAPE? Often when parents know that they have syphilis they are over-joyed to find that at birth no sign of syphilis appears in their child. But unfortunately it is too early to be perfectly happy yet. Because as a matter of fact almost all children born with syphilis look well and healthy at birth. Then after 2 to 8 weeks generally, the signs of congenital syphilis appears. The baby who thus far has been fine and fat and whose skin has been clear and beautiful-after 3 to 8 weeks develops symptoms. Usually the first thing noticed is a "Lead-Cold" or "snuffles." The mother thinks nothing of this however, until she finds that it does not get well, but that rather it gets much worse, until the baby can hardly breathe, a thick pus like discharge comes from the nose and thick crusts or "scabs" may form in the little nostrils there increasing the difficulty of breathing and nursing. The mother notices a hoarseness when the baby cries. These things mean that a definite inflammation of the nose and throat and often of the ears is present. This latter is the cause of many cases of early deformity in children. Soon after the "sniffles" develop the skin eruption takes place. This is usually seen upon the hands, feet and face first, in the same form as that seen upon the newborn, that is the "blisters" or bulloe pimples or prestones. About the mouth and the outside of the rectum also are seen some little cracks or fissures in the skin, which radiated toward the angles of the lip or center of the anus or mouth of the rectum. These cracks or fissures of the mouth and anus are very characteristic of congenital syphilis. Around the little infant's rectum there may also be brownish patches or red skin eruption. In its little mouth and other mucous and skin surfaces there may be ulcers. The secretions from these ulcers and skin eruptions are very highly infections and anyone as a wet nurse, or those who kiss the body or otherwise come within personal contact with the syphilis child will be very likely to contract the disease. Is there any cure or prevention for syphilis in infants? How does congenital syphilis affect the life and health of the child in later years? All of these important questions and many others will be answered in our talk next week. Visit Hotel Murgess At Lake Elsinore for Your Week-end Vacation F. C.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE MAGAZINE SECTION Rev. Shaw Lectures at Pasadena College on Race Problems A few days ago, at the Pasadena Junior, College, Rev. A. P. Shaw addressed Professor Earl Davis' class in sociology. The subject was: "The Race Problem as the Negro Sees it." The gist of the lecture was as follows: "The white man, in dealing with the race problem, has a tendency to over generalize in his reasoning. He picks out a few cases of the lower type Negro, and hastily concludes that all Negroes are similar. Let him reverse this process of reasoning: Does the fact that one white man kills or robs mean that what men in general are murderers and hold-ups?" "Again, he has, in his dealings with the Negro, gone back on his principles of freedom and democracy. His forefathers fought Great Britain because of "taxation without representation." We Negroes are expected to pay taxes as our fellow Americans, but are we always represented before the law" witness lynching, and so forth, why not believe a Negro innocent until he is proven guilty?—there are 20 states in which Negroes would be considered acting insultingly were they to run for office—respectable Negroes are getting tired of being insulted in public places: when we enter a first class cafe we revolt at being told to "go in the kitchen." or "take our food with us." "The white man must help in solving this problem of race. The popular subterfuge: "that blacks are anxious to intermarry with the whites" is nothing more than out-grown Chucasion propaganda—an evasion of the main issue. On the whole, Negroes ARE NO MORE ANXIOUS TO MARRY the white than the white are anxious to marry them—Booker T. Washington tried to solve this problem from the colored man's point of view—but failed. DuBois is trying to solve it by sheer DEMANDING rights, but the only way that it will be permanently solved is when both races "get together" and really cooperate in working out a solution." Rev. Shaw spoke in a very cool manner, citing Facts as they are, and not whipping around the bush. However, he was not vindictive on any occasion. The Reverend, a Yale graduate, has charge of Wesley M. E. Church, Los Angeles. —By C. E. Understand Thyself Kind words are sweet like honey, Harsh words create anger. Anger dwells only in the minds of the foolish. WATCH THE INDWELLING MIND Keep your head all times about you when others lose theirs and then blame you. Trust yourself when all others doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too. Wait and do not tire of waiting. Be just, generous, and fearless. It is not so much the question of what others are, but what are you? You might be a Philosopher to some, and considered foolish to others. After all it sums up to this, what are you to yourself? to your own individual mind?, which makes you happy and contented, or otherwise, when you get to the point of understanding and approve and can find no room for improvement, you will then be above reproach and happy too. In the meanwhile keep busy with yourself and you will have very little time to dig up faults and failings of others, you will then be living your own life, in your own way, granting the same privilege to others. 236 East 2nd Street, Los Angeles, Cal. It had to be good to get the Philharmonic for the occasion. KIDDIES MINSTREL, June 10th. The Imperial Furniture Co. at 2676 West Pico is making it possible for everyone to get that charming furniture that we all like this was learned by a representative of the California Eagle.

What Price Friendship BY CARL ECHOLS It is so convient to have friends, especially when we can use them to our personal advantage. Some efficient humans can manipulate them with such deft skill that the exploited one rarely discovers himself to be the goat. It has been said, that everybody talks about friendship, but few practice it. It is wondered if some people really know what true friendship is. The term is used so cheaply, for a true friend is a jalal without price. How rather strange is this thing, friendship. Inherit a fortune and you soon have heaps of it. Friends? Why just entertain and banquet and you will have scores of 'em. Just get in the limelight and they will virtually eat you alive. But wait! When the ship of your destiny founders on the reefs of life's misfortunes, then what? If dame fortune deals you a bad head and all that seems dearest take wine and fly, then what? Well, if one loyal friend remains—blessed be you, if two cling still—then twice blessed thou art. Trust thy God, love thy mother, and appreciate thy money, for these three friends will linger with you WHEN THE WORLD FORGETS. The structure of friendship is too often built on a very weak foundation—good looks, popularity, wordy possessions, and so forth. But as soon as good looks fade, popularity dwindle and wealth disappears, friend dear is liable to leave too. Friendship, to be lasting and genuine, must be built on something other than physical attraction. It must be built on mutual appreciation of ones intrinsic spiritual worth—on bonds of kindred hearts. Some believe there are degrees of friendship. Friends that are close, friends that are closer, and friends that are closest. Perchance said closest (bosom) friend takes it into his head to double-cross you, (they often do, too). Then what? Simply this: a Judas has betrayed a trusting soul. A common occurrence this. Is friendship a lost art? Is it a mere Joke? Does there still live the friend that sticketh closer than a brother? Is there more of it in the world than we see daily manifested, being covered over with the busy cares of modern life? I do not know the answer, each must judge for himself. Friends do not envy one another. They are not jealous. They may quarrel—the best often disagree—but betray one another? Never! True friends are loyal whether or not they belong to the same race, caste, sect, or party. They are fair they give and take. Constantly holding ones short comings up to the light is disastrous to lasting friendship; criticism is no doubt needed at times, but it must be tempered with sympathy and guided with wisdom. Real friendship covers a multitude of faults. Do what we will, friends come and go. Surely Providence is the guiding factor here. Friends are rare jewels; they should be cherished. They may not have money, fame or good looks. But they have more than all these; THEY HAVE TRUE FRIENDSHIP. Civilizations appear, have their day and end. Mountains crumble and seas give up their dead—but friendship will not down! The human heart still longs for love, even perishes without it—and man goes on deceiving and If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1929 (By: A: N. P.) Oklahoma City, Okla., May 7.—A suit for $50,000 brought against the Black Dispatch and Editor Roscoe Dundee of this city by Rev. E. J. Cain, a local preacher, was thrown out of court last week after three years of litigation by order of Judge Wiley Jones. The case in which for a time the Daily Oklahoma was a co-defendant with the Black Dispatch grew out of publication of a story concerning the ousting of Rev. Cain from the pulpit of a local church. At the trial the unsavory details of the pastor's career were brought out. The local Oklahoma later was permitted severance. In dismissing the case on a demurrer Judge Jones declared that he believed in freedom of the press. "No honest public servant should object to criticism," he said, "and the fact that a man may be piqued or irritated by the publication of something relative to his activities does not necessarily infer that he has been libied." The judge expressed the opinion that news parers should not be licensed to publish untruths but he believed they were entitled to that character of freedom which would permit them to expose the truth and the facts on all public questions. "Stage Struck" Pleases (Bv: A. N. P.) Kansas City, Mo. May 7.—In a benefit performance which brought a near capacity crowd to the downtown Missouri Theatre last Wednesday night a group of tomateurs under the direction of Miss Maelet Williams, presented an original musical comedy "Stage Struck". Novelty, chorus, and specialty dances were given by the players most of whom were youthful school teachers and pupils in Miss Willmits school of dancing here. Mrs Emma Payne, prima donna of the musical message scored in her characterization of "Glad Rag Doll" and an imitation of Nora Bayes singing "My Man". The affair was sponsored by the L'Amour Girls Club and the proceeds went to the Orphans Home Among those participating were Helen Barksdale, Lemuel Russell, William Smith, Leon Jordan, Chrystine Davi Mildred Hudson, Gladys Smith, Pauline Tarwair, Vivian Winn, Percy Lee, Van Osborne, Madeline McGhee, Edith Evans, Margarete Reed, Leuel King, Frances Hayes, Geta Bryant, Minnie Prather, Elsie McLee, Anna Marie Thompson, Billy Smith, Geraldine Adamson, and Raymond Burgins. Philadelphia Election Judge Gets Two Years (By: A. N. P.) Philadelphia, Pa., May 7.—Charles P. Wright, election judge in the 37th division of the 5th ward, was convicted by a jury here Tuesday of election frauds and sentenced to serve two years in the county prison, by Judge Dewitt. The charges grew out of irregularities during the spring election last year. Along with Wright, the entire election board, composed of four women, was convicted of charges of conspiracy to make false election returns and to permit voting by persons not legally entitled to vote. Judge McDewitt, however, placed them on a two-year probation. The women were: Mrs. C. Stratton, Mrs. George Stewart, Mrs. Frances Whiting, and Mrs. Helen T. Cobbs. being deceived. However, a few a wholesome leaven, retain their trust and hope in mankind. They see in present day double-dealing brother-traying men and women future possibilities of nobler creatures. Am I a friend? Colored Girl Wins State Wide Oratorical Contest Oklahoma City, May 7.—A slim, atractive, brown girl, dressed in quiet blue, with a clear, resonant voice and dignified almost formal gestures, stepped out on the platform at Cavalry Baptist Church last Friday night and talked about the Constitution of the United States. When she had finished, the girl, who was Miss Johnnie Mae Washington of the Douglass High School, Oklahoma City, had won the coveted distinction of being named, champion orator of the high schools of the state." With her on the program and contesting so hotly for the honor that the judges, three prominent white educators, confessed their task most difficult because of the excellence of all the orations, were three boys, Prentiss Hilburn of Wewoka, Leon White, Muskogee, and Tommy Webb of Luth- COMPETITION KEEN The occasion was the annual oratorical contest held under the auspices of and financed by the Knights of Pythias and Court of Calanthe, with direct supervision by the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Enaugured three years ago by Dr. Chas, B. Wickam, Grand Chancellor, this contest which is open to students of high schools, and the state-wide spelling bee for pupils of grade schools, both of which are held on the same day, have aroused a spirit of competition between counties, districts, and schools, encouraging new effort and interest on the part of the entire school bodies, scholars, and faculty in the various communities. As the four participants, each a winner in the preliminary contests in their various districts, faced the enthusiastic but critical audience and drew for position, dame fortune smiled on the feminine speaker. Miss Washington drew last place. Hilburn of Wewoka led off with a scholarly dissertation on the fundamentals of the constitution. Diction good, well posed, with scarcely a resture, he calmly discussed the famous document from the brood staedpoint of Americanism, decried attempts to change it because of opposition to the 19th Amendment and gave the opinion that it might well serve as the basis for a confederation of states of the world. STRESS RACIAL VIEW MUST In direct contrast of the other speakers dwell on the instrument in its relationship to the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, while White, who showed flashes of splendid historic ability and was eloquent in approved oratorical style, used the life of Harriet Beecher Stowe as his theme. He sought to show that her book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," had so profound an influence upon public thinking that it influenced events which led to the addition of the Civil War Amendments. Miss Washington using as her subtitle, the "The Constitution of the United States and Slavery, paid her final tribute to emancipation by saying, "If you would know how the Negro has used the freedom given him by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, search the pages of history and then look about you. See how he has been ever ready to defend that sacred life. Review the progress he has made in character, religion, and wealth. His contributions to civilization have justified the framers of the amendments." EXCLUDED FROM WHITE. .CONTEST The same night that the Colored contests were being held, the Okla homa section of the "National Oratorical Contest," a nation-wide movement sponsored by daily newspapers scattered over the country but in this state open only to white students, was taking place. It was this exclusion which fostered in the mind of Dr. Wickham the idea of furnishing to Negro boys and girls the same opportunities and advantages which the white students enjoyed. "The Knights of Pythias through the oratorical contests for high schools and the state-wide spelling bee extends to our boys and girls through out the state chances of a sort which their fathers and mothers were denied," said Dr. Wickham. "We are grateful for the interest manifested by the teachers, principals, and parents, as well, as for the wonderful co-operation which the State Department of Instruction gives each year in endeavoring to make this program a success." The contests are held first in the local schools, then the counties and districts. The District champions compete in the finals at Oklahoma City each year. The championship trophy a silver loving cup, was presented to Prof. Inman E. Page, Principal of Douglas High School of this Prof. F. D. Moon of Crescent, presidency, where the winner was trained by dent of the State Negro Teachers' Association. Miss Washington received a silver plaque which was presented by Prof. W. E. Woods, principal of the Tulsa High School. Dr. Wickham announced that through the co-operation of the Court of Calanthe of which Mrs. Rebecca T. Jackson of Muskogee is Grand Worthy Counsellor, the Pythians would offer as first prize in the 1930 contests a $150.00 scholarship to Lanaston University. / The musical program for the evening was contributed by Miss Maybeille Brazelton who gave an organ recital. The Douglas High School mixed chorus under the direction of Mrs. Zelia Brough and Cavalry Baptist Choir. HOTLY STRIVE FOR SPELLING CHAMPIONSHIP No less interesting was the Spelling Bee. Thirty-five county champions who in their local contests had "spelled ed down" all opponents in their district schools, met in Calvary Church Friday morning to decide which was the premier speller of the state. Despite the large number of girl county champions, they outnumbered the boys two to one, two boys won first and second places. Neil Hollinsworth an eleven year old, sixth grade pupil from Wewoka, is state champion for 1929. John Webb of McIntosh was second and Olivia Jones of Wagoner, third. Neil's victory was a triumph for persistence and determination. Last year the tiny fellow, a protege of Roscoe Dungee, finished second but so bitterly disappointed was he at his failure to win, that he announced through his tears, then and that he would be champion this year. The contest lasted three hours and ten minutes exhausting the State Board Approved and Adopted Speller, the Allied and Affiliated Speller and part of a list of special words which Mrs.ida M. Hale, county superintendent, and Miss Nellie Hunt, Assistant Superintendent of the State Department of Education gave out. Judges were Profs, F. D. Moon, Crescent, J. W. Hughes, Dunbar School, Tulsa; Fred McNeil, Mrs. L. S. Simmons, Pottawatamie and Miss M. Willard McClain. It was on the simpler words that the doughty speller tripped; words such as authentic, Ikable, valet, valid, juvenile, interpretation, rather than the longer tongue twisters which they spelled with ease. LODGE HEAD SAYS IT PAYS CHARACTER DIVIDENDS CHARACTER DIVIDENDS The Python Grand Lodge and Court of Calanthe bore the expenses of the teachers and pupils to and from Oklahoma City and served sumptuous meals to the contestants as well as their teachers and parents who accompanied them from sell over the state. "The Pythians regard their contribution toward greater education interest and better citizenship as promoted by these contests as a good investment," said smiling Dr. Wickham. "We are endeavoring to make our lodge an organization interested not only in signs, grips, and secrets. We want to co-ordinate its activities closely with the lives of its members and the best interests of all the people of the state." The Pythians and Calanthes who have jointly some 6,000 members have valuable property to the credit of their progressive organization. A. K. A; TEA One of the prettiest affairs of the spring season was the Benefit Tea given by Alpha Gamma Chapter—N. C. L. A.—of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, on Sunday afternoon, April 28th. The Tea was held at the home of Ruby Jefferson, a member of the local graduate Chapter of A. K. A. 2134 W. 30th Street. A color scheme of pink and green, the sorority colors, was charmingly carried out in the decorations and refreshments. Fearing Execution, Prisoner Takes French Leave (BY: A. N. P.) Port Gibson, Miss., May 6—"I hate to go, but I understand that my neck is going to be broken and this is the best way out of it," was the substance of a note left for Deputy Sheriff Davenport by George Jones, who broke jail here. Jones was charged with killing Joe Williams when the car of Sheriff Bagnell, which Jones, a trusty convict, was driving, ran the man down several months ago. Deputy Sheriff Davenport was notified by Noah Nokles, who declared that his son had talked to Jones on the street a short time before, and investigation showed that Jones had escaped from jail by using false keys he had made to open his cell and other jail doors. He had locked the doors after him. Bloodhounds were obtained and trailed Jones to the railroad, where the trail was lost. Deputy Sheriff Davenport said the note Jones left stated that he had no assistance in the break for liberty but had brought from Fayette, where he had been kept in jail a short time, the material used in making the keys. Being a good mechanic, it is believed he spent several weeks in perfecting the false keys. Forces Mississippi To Lower Tax Rate On Insurace Premiums Forces Mississippi To Lower Tax Rate On Insurace Premiums JACKSON, Miss., May 10—(By The Associated Negro Press) Insurance Companies white and black throughout the state of Mississippi are busy checking up on the profits that are to come to them because of a recent decision of the state Supreme Court in which judges of that body uphold the contention of M. S. Stuart, general manager of the Universal Life Insurance Company, that the state tax on the premium collections of companies in the state was exorbitant. Heretofore, the state has collected a tax of 2.55% on premium collections, but as a result of the victory of Universal Life, will only be able to obtain two per cent in the future, and may be required to pay back the excess in takes that it has collected. Mr. Stuart felt from his understanding of the state law that the companies were being illegally and excessively taxed, and advised his company to resist collection. This was done with some trepidation, for not only had all the Negro companies been submitting to the tax, but the white companies as well. It was considered toolkid for a Negro company to take an exception which white companies had either overlooked or feared to take. The suit which resulted in the Supreme Court decision was instituted by the state lack tax collector after Universal Life had refused to pay the 2.75%. The entire official staff of the company stood behind the general manager, despite outside criticism, while he valiantly ignored efforts at intimidation made by the state tax collector. The victory of Universal Life, achieved through the ability of Mr. Stuart to understand and interpret the law, was regarded as one of the significant achievements made by Negro insurance men during the year by the conferers at the convention of the National Negro Insurance Association in Little Rock. To the insurance men present it was an indication of the intelligence and skill of the men who are building colored insurance companies. Insurance has grown to be the biggest and most substantial business conducted by Negroes, and it was stated by the executives present that the progress these companies are making is largely due to the calibre of the men who are behind them. Red Cross Gives $25000 Tornado Relief Fund For Georgia And South Carolina WASHINGTON, D. C, May 9—(By The Associated Negro Press). The American Red Cross today appropriated $25,000 toward a relief fund for the victims of the Georgia-South Carolina tornado of last week, in which more than fifty persons were killed and several hundred injured. Reports by telephone from M. K. Reckord, director of disaster relief field operations, who arrived in Dublin, Georgia, from Washington to es- ablish relief headquarters, were that destruction had been complete in the stricken areas. The farmers had lost houses, barns, stock, and crops of cotton, corn, and tobacco. The Red Cross prepared immediately to distribute seed for new crops. Food and clothing had been issued, and tents set up, Reckord reported. A staff of eight Red Cross workers already is established at Dublin as headquarters for relief, and five additional disaster relief workers were sent today to speed the relief work. Six Red Cross nurses also were in the field giving inoculations and caring for the injured, with Miss Ruth Mettinger in charge. The Red Cross also prepared today to send assistance to Camden, S. C., where a tornado yesterday afternoon killed one person and injured fourteen persons who today were in hospital. J. Team Getty, chairman of the Red Cross Chapter, asked for help for those persons who lost their homes. Neval Thomas Writes Of France The Mediterranean Coast in Southeastern France and Northwestern Italy is called the Riviera. The foothills of the Alps descend almost to the water's edge, so that one gets the double advantage of sea and mountain. For two hundred miles there is a succession of one tropical resort after another, each rivalling the other in scenic loveliness. The wealthy from all over the world, especially the English nobility, have built magnificent villas on the mountain slopes, which gives us hundreds of square miles of flowers, palms, almond trees in beauteous bloom, oranges, and other plants which make up the luxuriance of the tropics. In addition, there are hundreds of mamoth hotels in gardens that are creations of beauty. The one that I chose is high up the mountain slope with its rich gardens. I know of no experience like a morning in Golden Nice. The gentle winds blow into my room from the great sea and towering mountains, perfumed by flowers and orange groves. I look from my window in any direction, and all is loveliness. It appealed to the rastes of a pampered queen who chose it for her last three winters on earth. For the visitor there is nothing but rest and pleasure; There are hundreds of dances every day in all of the hotels, casinos, piers, restaurants. The finest of them have sent to America for colored musicians who demand and receive their American salaries and more. At the smartest of the hotels, the Negresco, Sam / Wooding holds forth. He is advertised all along the sea-front Promenade, with his picture and that of his band. They sit in fine uniforms on the same platform with a French band, and receive from $75.00 to $100.00 per week, while the native receives $15.00 to $25.00. Frank Gould has just put from five to seven millions into the finest cabaret and casino in the world (at least this is the claim). I have never seen such outstanding grandeur and sizes in any cabaret. Two great bands, one black and one native, keep the music going, and the whole ensemble is brilliant. A Negro may enter, not only with equality, but with a perference. All, save Americans, want to know him. I have never been in one without some courtly gentleman introducing himself and his friends who gladly accepted the dance and an afternoon's sociability. The colored men have brought their wives and families here and they are seen in all of these public entertainments. Turner Layton and Johnson and their wives were here last month and won the heart of Nice.

LOYAL FANS should get publicity, although it is seemingly never thought of. The firm of Murray and Stewart are regular attendants; Dr. Hugh Bell makes all fights and wrestling matches; Mr. Sam Kramer of the Lincoln Theatre and Mr. Robert Levi of the Lafayette Players never miss a fight. There are many others who keep their seats by the year. MANY TIMES I have claimed that athletes make the most law-abiding citizens. Now here comes a judge to back up my statement: "Cincinnati, O., May 3.—Those who engage in athletics seldom are haled before criminal courts—that is the conclusion drawn by Judge Ed Hurley, prominent jurist of this city. "I've noticed this fact in the number of persons brought, before me he says, and the answer seems to be that participation in clean athletics builds self-reliance and character. A sound body, you know, usually begets a sound mind." 28th St. Y.M.C.A. Third In Meet Represented by Archie Herbert and Chuck Early, the 28th St. Y. M. C. A. emerged from the Annual So. Calif. Gymnastic Meet with third place honors in the advanced division. The Meet was held Saturday, May 4th, at the Pasadena. Y. M. C. A. San Diego represented by a quintette of star gymnasts, romped off with first place. Glendale with a duct of high-powered horizontal and parallel men grabbed second place. Herbert placed third in the mats, sixth in the rings and fifth in the parallel bars. Early won the third place medal for "All-Around" competition. He placed fourth in the mats, horse and horizontal bars, tied for 5th with Herbert in the parallel bars and took fifth in the rings. Completes Choral Arrangement Of "Hampton" NEW YORK, May 7.—(By The Associated Negro Press). Chaucey Northern, tenor, has just completed the choral arrangement of his prize winning song, "Hampton", which is to be sung at the annual commencement exercises of the school in May. Mr. Northern has just returned from a Southern tour and is resting preparing for an extensive tour during the fall. A number of large southern cities are tentatively included in Mr. Northern's itinerary with the largest concert to be held in Baltimore. While in Jacksonville recently, Mr. Northern sang for a Masonic gather- If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened George Upsets Borah And Wykoff George Upsets Borah And Wykoff With a terrific burst of speed in the last twenty yards, Nate George, Whittier College sprint see, forged ahead to breast the tape in the open 100 yard dash in the fast time of 9 14-5 seconds coping honors from such galaxy of stars as Borah, Wykoff, Maurer and Guyer. For weeks dopsters had been discussing the outcome of this feature race which took place last Saturday at the Coliseum under the auspices of the A. A. U. Either Borah of U. S. C., or Wykoff of Glendale J. C. and both of Olympic fame had been picked to finish first in a probable world record time. George, the usual dark horse, was not considered in this event. Running in the third lane right next to Wykoff, he paced the fleece-footed Glendale boy for about 75 yards then taking advantage of a break, he spurted out to lead Wykoff by a yard and to nose out Maurer of U. S. C., who has made an enviable record this season. Borah pulled a muscle about twenty-five yards from the tape and was not able to finish. After winning this classic 100 yard dash, George come back a few minutes later to place second in the furlong losing by inches to Guyer, the red-headed flash of Santa Ana. Local fans will have a chance to see George in action on May 30th at the Y. M. C. A. Track Meet to be held at Jefferson High. He will compete for the Whittier Y. M. C. A.

Important roles in "Under Cover" will also be taken by Sidney Kirkpatrick, Laura Bowman, Charles Olden and Malcolm Patton. The Bessie Coleman Aero Clubs, a National Organization having headquarters at 1423 West Jefferson Blvd., Los Angeles, Calif., is using the very best flying equipment in training its students and pilots who are preparing for a tour of 100 cities this summer in five airplanes in the interest of the Negro for aviation. Their new Swallow Training plane is the very latest thing for training students, having a Student's rudder and stick release, crash pads, and a 100% visibility. The National organization will purchase one of these planes for each of its branches which are being organized in 100 cities. The membership of each club will be limited to 100 members. This club is to be congratulated upon its "group method" of training its club members thereby greatly reducing the cost of aviation training and putting same within reach of any average person. The tour of 100 cities by five airplanes is creating much interest throughout the country, and the president of the organization, William J. Pewell of chicago who will lead the tour, is leaving no stone unturned toward making this tour one of the most interesting aviation fests of the year. Advance agents are touring the country in automobiles making preparations for the flyers coming. Negro Stars Scintillate At Penn Relays Negro Stars Scintillate At Penn Relays (Bv: A. N. P.) Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa. May 6.—Lovers of track and field events, who gathered at Franklin Field in attendance upon the annual Penn Rails, saw records fall and equalled, and feats which thrilled and electrified them and in all Negroes participated. In fact, Negro athletes, individually and collectively showed their white brethren some wonderful performances. In the individual class, perhaps Dave Myers, of New York University, topped the field, when he hurled the javlin 196 feet and 33 inches for a new record. Following closely in his wake were Snyder of Lincoln, bearing the distinction of being the only representative of a Negro college entered in individual events, who tied Leo Sexton for second place honors in the high jump with six feet.

Joe Guererro Meets Gammage at Main Street, Saturday If the inference that any one hailing from Chicago knows all about machine guns means anything, then it calls for plenty of nerve to hop across the "No Man's Land" through the hempen entanglements to meet a dangerous customer from that sensational little burg. Joe Guerrero, Mexican lightweight champion, will face the raking fire of George "Machine Gun" Gammage of Chicago, in next Saturday night's top battle at the Main Street Athletic Club. BARBON WON Dario Barron, one of Guerrero's Mexican rivals, took a decision over Art Emory last Saturday night at the Main Street club. Sandy Gerrison outpunched Morrie Eagleson in the semi-windup, while the Art Molina-Eagle Thomas special event squabble went to Molina.

Barthelmess' Voice Proves Excellent For Vitaphone Richard Barthelmess is now heard as well as seen. The star of two-score features, famed for his "Broken Blossoms," his "Tablel David" and his "Patent Leather Kid," is now being heard for the first time in "Weary River," his newest First National starring feature coming to the Rose Bud Theatre next Tuesday. In "Weary River" Barthelmess not only talks but plays the piano. A telephone test proved his voice of excellent quality for talking pictures and advance notices predict unprecedented success for the initial Barthelmess talkie. "Weary River" is from the short story by Courtney Ryley Cooper, adapted to the screen by Bradley King and directed by Frank Lloyd. It relates the story of a convict who sings over the radio, wins a parole, becomes famous and wins the love of a girl. It is a wide departure from anything Barthelmess has done heretofore and offers him the sort of human characterization in which he excels.

TROPHIS AWARDED'BASKET BALL CHAMPIONS Champions of the recently concluded municipal basketball season were the recipients of beautiful trophies emblematic of league championships last Thursday when these awards were presented winning teams by the Board of Playground and Recreation Commissioners. The Title Insurance and Trust Co. quintet, Industrial Basketball Champions for 1929, were given a handsome silver basketball in honor of their victory out of a field of 62 teams. Other awards were made to the Shell Oil, National Automotive Schools, Pacific Mutual, and Pacific Fruit Express cage squads. INDUSTRIAL NET TOURNEY TO BE ANNUAL EVENT Following the tremendous amount of interest shown by players, interested organizations, and the general public in the industrial Tennis Tournament, which came to a close Sunday at Griffith Municipal Courts, this is to be made an annual event, according to the announcement of the Playground and Recreation Department, sponsors of the tourney. The large list of entries, both men and women, and the many varied commercial and industrial organizations which sent their stars into the tournament caused many competent observers to predict that this event is destined to become one of the most important tennis tournaments held annually in Los Angeles. RACE IN INDUSTRIAL BASEBALL LEAGUES Close competition in practically every industrial baseball league sponsored by the Playground and Recreation Department was forecast as the 1929 season got under way in the Industrial section of the Municipal Baseball Association. Hard-fought early season games have already been reported in Section "B" of the industrial "AA" leagues, where the Calif. Dairies and the Padres are now tied for first place.

With the opening of the city's largest and finest billiard parlor by Mr. Leslie Wilson at 4006 Central avenue, comes also the announcement from this popular clubman that he will hold a big open to all billiard tournament that will be unsurpassed by any of those held regularly in New York and Chicago. There are many good pool and billiard players in the city says Mr. Wilson and this will determine by elimination as to who is the city champion. In the city-wide tournament is over, plans will be made too for various smaller tournaments as well as an annual national meet. The De Luxe, which Mr. Wilson has named his recreation parlor, is the last word in first-class equipment with seats, lounges, lobby and other appointments, and is but a development of the ideas which he, one of the city's youngest business men, always injects into his centuries. He formerly owned a grocery store. In Watts selling it out to open his present business. Beautiful silver cups will be given as prizes in the cue contest. Abbie Mitchell Thrills Gotham NEW YORK, May 6—(By The Associated Negro Press). Never was the glorious voice of Abbie Mitchell shown to better advantage than on Sunday afternoon when the famous soprano was presented in recital at Engineering Auditorium. There was never a dull moment on Miss Mitchell's program and now at the height of her career, any number of aspiring white singers could learn much from Miss Mitchell. It was a treat to hear her golden notes soaring on the accompaniment of the pianist. Four groups of songs, in German, Italian, English, and a group of spirituals comprised the program. As a special request, Miss Mitchell sang "Exhortation". She was forced by thundering applause to repeat her number, "A Lover and His Lass." After the program, Miss Mitchell received back stage where friends swarmed to meet her and congratulate her on the splendid afternoon triumph. Without doubt, Miss Mitchell is the race's leading soprano and richly deserves the plaudits which rewarded her r Sunday afternoon's effort. Soloist Thrills Radio Audience NEW YORK, May 4—(By The As- sociated Negro Press). Friday night, radio listeners who have followed the Negro Achievement Hour Program over station WABC were thrilled by beyond measure at the singing of the inflammatus from Rossini's "Stabat Mater," a part of the program given by the glee club of Bordentown Manu- al Training School. And the startling part of the singing was that the soloist in this most difficult number was a seventeen-year-old pupil of the school, Miss Florence E. Owens. The young lady with the natural voice sang with aplomb and a poise worthy of the concert artist, Abbie Mitchell. She noted in ensuing solos, but there is no denying the natural ability and quality of her sweet, lyric soprano. On the same program, Mr. W. R. Valentine, principal of the school, delivered a ten-mate address on the work of the school. He was introduced by M. Grainger of the same insti- tution. Musk* was furnished by the male quartette and ensemble, and the end siee club. The whole was sponsored by the Nero Achievement, Hour. Y. M. C. A. To Sponsor So. Calif.

This will be the first Meet of its kind to be held in Southern California and it promises to be a successful one. A committee composed of Chris Scott as chairman, Frank Rivers, Ed, Jefferson, Harold Hicks and Harold Wilson are hard at work to make this a mammoth event. The Y. M. C. A.'s throughout Southern California have been invited to participate in this Meet. A number have already accepted among which New Books at the Helen Hunt Jackson Library CAMERON, JOHN.—John Cameron's Odyssey. The vivid story of thirty years of seafaring.

CANTOR, EDDIE—My Life fs in Your Hands. When Eddie Cantor was a boy he couldn't keep a job, but he could always get a laugh, and this gift has made him a millionaire. The story of his life is as amusing and entertaining as a visit to the Follies to hear the comedian himself. DRAPER, MURIEL—Music at Midnight. The wife of a noted singer tells informally and delightfully of her friendships with the great people of the earth. Her book is full of charming anecdotes and of glimpses of her famous visitors, Chalapin, Norman Douglas, Gertrude Stein, Duse, and many other brilliant Americans and Europe, and appear in these pages. LEWIS, SINCLAIR—Dodsworth. In a novel finer than anything he has yet done, Sinclair Lewis tells of the European exile of a prosperous automobile manufacturer, Samuel Dodsworth is far from being a Babitt; he is a very real person groping through all his disappointments for an abiding philosophy of life. He finally finds it, after he has become estranged from his wife, whose picture is one of the cleverest pieces of character drawing in many years. Mr. Lewis gives us a new angle on American marriage in, this book. Brothers Quartet To Broadcast NEW YORK, May 9—(By The Association Negro Press) A feature of the broadcasting from station WEVD Saturday, will be the singing of the Northern quartet, composed of four brothers, Rober, Ralph, Folix, and Joseph. They have been carefully trained by their noted brother, Chapney, and critics are loud in their pride of the excellent voices, the harmony of the singing and the careful blending of tones. The quartet has done some work over the radio appearing on the Edison Company hour, for which they were highly paid. During the short life of "Deep Harlem" the Northern quartet sang some specialties, but the quality of their music was so far above the general run of the band. The quartet was not only have the brothers appeared on radio programs, but they were featured by Hampton Institute when that institution put on a drive for funds two or three years ago, the quartet singing in all of the large cities, raising money for the school. Poor harassed Perry Howard! No sooner is he acquitted of the "hienious crime" of peddling Federal patronage by a Mississippi court than he is given notice that he will be prosecuted under similar charges in the courts of the District of Columbia. If the matter keeps up the public will be inclined to believe that the prosecution has degenerated into a political persecution. His power as a national committeeman has been nullified by the appointment of a committee to "peddle out" the Federal appointments. Several have been appointed who failed to receive the endorsement of Howard as national committeeman. President Hoover is giving all aid in his power to change the color of the G. O. P. Pachyderm in "Dixie," and give him a "Lily White" complexion. They have been trying for a couple of decades to scour him, but it is the concensus of political opinion that no matter how much they scour him he will revert to the political wallow. Carpet-bag politicians will always revert to type. There is a preacher. Dr. W. H. Moses by name, who is not afraid to speak right out in the meeting and tell one of the primary causes for the lack of interest, at present in the churches. He tells the preachers that they are "money mad" and that their battle cry is "Don't forget the collection." People are willing to give money to promote religion, but when they find out that all you want is money, they stop giving, savs. Dr. Moses. People who attend the churches and go there for spiritual aid and comfort are inclined to resent the plea—"just twenty-five cents more, who'll give that?" and stay home. There is no such thing as not being able to run a church on an financial budget. It can be done. In communities where there is barely enough people to support one church, religion ought not be made subservient to money and they should consolidate and make it a religious co-operation. As it stands today there are from three to four churches to a group of about one thousand or less and all of them are subrdinating their religious or spiritual influence in the scramble for existence. Daughter Of Theater Magnate to Marry WINSTON-SALOM, N. C., May 7—(By The Associated Negro Press). An announcement has been made by Mr. and Mrs. William S. Scales of the engagement of their eldest daughter, Miss Willie Mae Scales, to Alphonse Henninburg, instructor in foreign languages at Tuskegee Institute. The wedding will take place in this city in August. 737-5-4 "29". To one who takes a casual look, these figures may appear perplexing, mysterious. But they mark the end of a tragedy in the life of a human being whose death was the unfolding of a dual personality, the cause of, and the reason for, a mystery unsolved by death. "Peter Stratford," who was not, is not, and never was, died in an obscure village in Alameda County, California. May the 4th some men employed by the county toore aside the weeds and undergrowth in a far away corner of a burial ground and 'Peter' was lowered into a grave in the Potters Field. For years 'He' had carried the secret of a dual sex life. Made love and married. It is stated that peculiar charm of manner made an impression on the truly feminine that was irresistible. It is stated that high type of mentality was one of the most potent of captivating charms. 'Peter Startford' who lies in the pauper's grave, which has no decoration save the undergrowth of brush and weeds, is but a number among those who have died friendless and alone. 737 carried the mystery of its life, and death has placed its seal on the mystery. Miss Scales is an alumnus of Willberforce University and a teacher in the Columbus High School here. Mr. Henningburg is a native of Mobile Ala. He obtained his degree at Grinnell College in Iowa, and did postgraduate work in England, France and Germany. The Scales family is one of the richest in North Carolina. The elder Scales is a director of the Theaters Owners Hooking Association, owner of a chain of motion picture houses a director of the Forsyth Bank, and a director in virtually every Negro financial corporation in the state. He is grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of North Carolina. Leave For East Race newspapers and periodicals cannot be too careful of the manner in which they are edited. More and more; they come under the observance of persons who have a desire for information concerning a little known part of the nation's citizenry. The papers and magazines reflect the personality of the editor who is supposed to represent the best of the Negro. When articles are printed without being edited, or corrected by a proof reader it shows a lack of interest, incapability, or a slipshod tendency on the part of those responsible. The greatest fault with the majority of our newspapers is the seeming lack of competent proof readers. In the hurry of composition all writer are liable to error. A word misspelled or incorrectly placed may change the whole meaning of a story. This is said in all kindliness, because we have, inadvertently, heard capable criticism concerning the general make-up of some Race journals and periodicals. So brother: Maybe it will profit to be a whit more careful in the make-up and editing of those mirrors of racial progress—The newspaper. Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert, eminent singer and Mrs. Hugh Lowery left the city Friday by way of the Continental Limited for various points in the East. While away, Mme.

S. Hart classify the feminine loveliness. It was a sight hard to parallel. In fact, outside the United States, we doubt its duplication. And yet it was but one of the many signs of the making of a new nation. It will not be generations before the United States will have a distinct racial appearance. The mingling of bloods cannot be stopped. Legislation is nullified by nature. In this modern age men and women are overcoming the farsity of racial antipathies. States that place a barrier on the legitimate mating of men and women because of racial difference are holding back moral progress; without which no nation can long survive. The diffusion of the blood in the make-up of the nation is creating a virile manhood and a womanhood whose poise and beauty, richness of coloring and mental attributes will be a far reaching factor in the nation's progress. not the intelligence and moral instinct to obey the law as a matter of course, it would be well to look into the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. Otherwise public opinion may look upon his crime crusade as a mere gesture. Congressman Oscar DePriest has been given the oath to support the Constitution; taken his seat among the law makers of the nation; the Dome of the Capitol has not fallen neither has there been any outward sign of a sinking of the foundation. The little gesture made by the "Gentleman from North Carolina" elicited but a smile, and gave him the medal for being the outstanding Ass of the congress. In a few days it will be so matter of fact to see Congressman DePriest in his seat that visitors to the Congressional gallery will not ask to have him pointed out. The one thing that interests the public is his attitude on the many questions of moment which will engross the attention of that law-making body. We feel assured that he will not be any "Me Too," but will support all measures according to his consciencious conviction. Of course we expect that he will urge the enforcement of all of the laws, including the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, and will constantly call the attention of his colleagues to the fact that all amendments are law and all "Be Yourself." The sentence was spoken in a jocose manner, and we doubt that the speaker realized its significance. Be yourself: There is no people in this cosmopolitan nation who should have more pride in being "themselves" than the American Negro and, yet they are the most proned to "Ape" than any other. The question of business development is one of the major problems which confront him. Chain stores, co-operative marketing of farm products and the varied industries which are handled by co-operative groups have failed to catch his vision. It is not because of his lack of observation. The growth of the churches and many fraternal organizations refute that. He will co-operate to build a magnificent church edifice or fraternal edifice, but when it comes to backing some business enterprise where consolidation of interest would increase its power and wealth he either through lack of confidence or selfish motive fails to grasp the value of the co-operative business trend. If John owns a corner grocery store and there are several others in the like business; it is the hardest matter to convince them that co-operative buying would save them 25 or more per cent. Each is afraid of losing his personal identity. True; the insurance and banking business has tried to profit by co-operation and there has been a consolidation of interest which has strengthened greatly the financial usefulness of those institutions. Chicago has furnished two outstanding characters in the field of insurance and banking. They have visioned co-operation. THE BLACK SPORT WORLD VERNON JACKSON A DISAPPOINTMENT Vernon Jackson, one of the classiest boys: at his weight in the state last year has gone down until he looks worse than a two-bit Ham and Egger. Jackson fought a main event at San Bernardino, last Thursday Night, against a man he should have beaten with ease. Instead, Trench King a veteran of the game gave Vernon a bad beating. In the first place the kid was carrying far too much weight. He weighed 130 for that fight and he was slower than a fighter train. He had none of the old speed that carried him to the top last year. His face carried no expression what so ever, and his mind seemed to be miles away, when he was running and he was him. It is needless to say that he did not train for the fight, any one that knew anything at all about the condition of fighters could tell that. BEAT, CHECKIE HERMAN Last year when Vernon was going like a house afire, he beat that classy Mexican boy, Checkie Herman in 3 bouts, at the same place he lost to King. But there was a world of difference in the shooting he made when he found Herman and in the fight he put up the other night. In the hours he fought Checkie, he was faster than fast. If the Mexican gave him a half an inch, Vernon could shoot over a right and a left so fast it would make your head swim. Jackson is a wonderful counter-puncher; that is when he is in shape. STILL GOOD By no means is the kid washed up. All he needs is an extensive training peroid and plenty of boxing with the big fellows to begain his speed of old. Abbie Mitchell Causes New York Audience To Cry NEW YORK May 6—(By The Association Negro Press). Another remarkable triumph as a concert singer was achieved here Sunday afternoon by Abbie Mitchell, soprano when she appeared in a recital at the Engineering auditorium. Miss Mitchell, in a splendidly selected program, sang her audience into rapturous tears. She sang the aria, "Ritorna vincitor" from "Aida" with such fervor and intensity that even the hard-boiled critics from the white dailies openly said that she is without a doubt one of the outstanding artists on the concert stage today. the Black ort World ART HAMILTON CHALKY WRIGHT On the same card,Chalky Wright, Ed Duvall's 120 pounder put up a stiff fight against Ray Billikos. Billibos gave Wright a tough go of it in the early rounds, but Chalky came back to floor the Mexican for a nine count and almost had him out but the bell saved him. The bout was called a draw. YOUNG SAMI LANGFORD vs JOHNNY ADAMS Ben Steffler, promoter at San Bernardino has a rematch for this Thursday night, that should pack them into the rafters, in Langford and Adams. The boys, fought a slashing draw last month and each claimed he was robbed. Johnny, make some remarks before the fight about chasing Sam out of the ring, but he sees that he will have to produce something more than mouth to take Langford. Colored boys seem to hold a jinx over the MountainLion. He has not been able to beat one yet. Young Jack Thompson put him away in four heats. Sammy Jackson took his measure in ten cantos, and Young Sam Langford him to a draw. Adams claims that it will be a different story next Thursday night, about 11 bells. JIMMY BLACK FIGHTS Jimmy Black, Davall's star and one of the best Blacks on the coast at 120 meets Mike Cardova on the same card with Langford and Adams. This will be Jimmy's first appearance in months, and every one is watching to see how the long lay off has treated the boy. Black rates main event class but is taking this bout as a warm up to bigger fights. Miss Mitchell offered a program of German numbers by Blekermann, Franz Lüst and Brahms, an Italian group which included the "Aida" aria; songs in English by Hageman, Quilter and Carpenter, and four spirituals, by Burleigh, Dawson, and Boatner. P. D. P. in the New York Herald, Tribune wrote: "Miss Mitchell gave a very commendable performance, using her voice with discretion and musicianship and unfarging sense of text."
